TkfEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREOOX. THURSDAY. MAY 12. 1938. PAGE FIVE B! BIAS ON AGE, GOV. CROSS SAYS Oldest State Executive, 76, Champions Worker Past 40 Need Is Seen For Both Old And Young Men. First Food in 41 Days By William D. Clark. United Prwa Staff Correspondent. HARTFORD. Conn. (UP) The oldest governor in the United States, Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, who recently observed his seventy-sixth birthday anniversary, believes Industry would derive Its greatest benefits by retain ing employes over 40 years. "Connecticut." he said, "still holds the view that there are places for alert and able-bodied men and wom en far beyond the age of 40. This Is a message which . as governor of Connecticut I wish to broadcast to all parts of these United States. King Solomon, he saia, - "a wise man of the east who ruled over Israel for 60 years, leading a happy life for the most time, saith that 'there is nothing new under the sun.' Certainly there is nothing new in the aspersions sometimes oast upon middle and old age. Officers of the army and navy and college professors in some Institutions must retire at certain fixed ages. Judges of the supreme court of the United States have been encouraged by congress to lay aside their robes of office at the age of 70 on the assurance that they shall receive their full salaries as long as they may live. Age No Gauge "It has been said that In some countries citizens have been deprived, by law or custom, of their civil rights on their arrival at the age of 60 and that In others they have been thrown from bridges into fast flowing streams to sink or swim as the case might be. "The fact, of course, is that age cannot be measured by years. Into the question of age enter many bio logical factors. One man may be old at 40. Another man may he young at 70. Gladstone, who was called in his time the Grand Old Man, had to the last the vigor a ad mental urge of a young man. After serving in parliament for 60 years -he again be came prime minister end ruled the British empire. He was then 83. What is true for those who climb the heights Is also true for all In the humblest walks of life. "It must, however, bo conceded that men young In years may exert a physical force denied to their elders. It Is dangerous, for example, for a man much above 50 to try a running Jump over a rail fence four or five feet high. Nor Is a prize fighter well on in the 40s likely to win a cham pionship. But rail Jumpers and prize fighters are not necessary to the success of manufacturing industry. Success Is dependent upon faithful workers, competent to do the task assigned to them In a large corpo rate body under the direction of. the ablest executives available." Iji.v stress on Skill The older and experienced workers, the governor said, "build the ma chines, they set up the machines, they run the machines, they super vise the work, and they see to It that the output la kept up to the standard. It is the business of many of them to catch defective work early In the manufacturing process, there by preventing spoilage of material and Inevitable waste that come from Inefficient labor, and from damage x 1 ! George McKenna, 44-year-old Detroit filling station operator, drank a half glnss of milk to break a 41-day r.ist which he hoped would cure hint of hay fever. Ills weight dropped from 1.10 to 1)0 pounds during the fast, McKenna Is shown with the milk bottle and glass. to mechanical equipment. There are many paths along which an indus trial corporation may go Into the red, but there is no quicker and surer path than by the lack of skilled supervision over the successive stages of production." He urged that young men prepar ing for an Industrial career "should avail themselves of the opportunities that He all around them. 'There Is no reason why they should not become skilled workmen early in their 30s and so join that large group of older men and women from whom they may learn the practical details of their trade. The Ideal Industrial corporation Is one in which the young and the old work side by side. The young learn frojn the experience of their elders, who in turn are inspired by the enthu siasm and the new Ideas of their young associates. "On this road our manufacturing industries move forward into new and wider fields." FLYING LUIS NIECE OF ACE RJCKENBACKER COLUMBUS, Ohio.
