Then he added something which should.' airest the feare of , the religionists who regard scientists' rs their enemies. "I know one thing, though, and that is c"u,d livo us ullt-" that through all this sweep of time intelligence has been at - - ' ! work, shaping things, directing things. Life flourishes be-' tween the freezing and the boiling points. The temperature of the crust of the earth has been between those two points for 1,200.000,000 yeais. If you expect me tto believe that is an accident, you arc expecting me tp believe too ninth." AGE AND DEPENDENCE - The Insurance companies are often coming out with tor , 'lifying statements of the high proportion of dependent ejder- ly people. They want people to buy insurance while young, i-to take care of- them when they aro old which is not a bad ..idea, aJiyyijailuk atit. , ; A survey hy the Natiouul Civic Fedeiation finds more ;cheering news: ".More than one in four of the M,S15 per . sons surveyed had property worth $10,000 or more, and near ly six in ten had either that amount of property or an annual !income or at least $1000. Only 29.5 per cent it?iortcd no 'property, and in all only 200 cases of destitution were found." ! This is good, but it should be analyzed a bit. Having a ipiece of property worth $10,000 or more doesn't mean in dependence in any sense of human comfort. That sum in ivestcd at 6 per cent means only $600 a year, in the savings Ibnnk only $100. Six hundred dollais, or even four hundred dollars, is a longVay from actual pauperism. But if that is -all an elderly man or 'woman has, does it spell comfort? What of illness? What of years when some sort of nursing is needed the minimum of domestic care when one can no longer cook or make leds or clean a room ? An annual income of $1000 conies nearer independence in fact. But that is pivtty close to the edge when one con sider the actual needs of age. It's good that there are so few destitute, that so many have property or incomes. But it will be a great deal liettor uhen everylxidy has more. One can stand quite a bit of haid :voik and saving and even haidship'in the caily yeai-s. In' ihe mature ones it is comaratively simple to earn enough ! o le quite on one's own. But in the seventies that's thei time when one needs income without work. Dependence in fhildhood is the normal thing. It is in old age that the. bread of dependence is bitter.
