Original Price Oldsters Play Major Role in ' ; World Economy Geneva Men ; and Women more than 65 years olii continue to , play a major role in the world's economy, according to the most recent statistical study of the International Labor Organ-J ization, a specialized agencyj associated' with the United Na tions. . ' ' ; ". Despite increasing life expec tancy and extended pension pro tection throughout . the .world, every country listed in . the new edition of the ILO's Year Book of Labor Statistics continues to have at least 2 per cent of its men over 65 "economically ac tive". In some countries, the figure exceeds 80 per cent. The figures for the elderly vomen are, of couri e, much lower. . By "economically active", the ILO explains that it does not mean , students, women occupied solely in domestic duties, persons living on a retirement income or on their own means, or per sons wholly . s dependent on others. It means employed per sons, including . employers, self employed earners . and proprie tors,., salaried employees and wage earners, and, so far as. data are available, unpaid workers in family undertakings. The high percentage of elderly men still working after 65 be comes all the more remarkable when examined in the light of the very great reduction in the percentage of old people who toil which has taken place dur ing the past 20 years. In the United Kingdom, for instance,' the percentage of men over 65 who are "economically active" declined from 4 per cent to 32 per cent between 1931 and 1951. In the United States, there was a drop from 58 per cent to 41 per cent between 1930 and 1950. All of the figures in the Year Book, are the most recent sta tistics available at Geneva when the document was drafted, but are more up-to-date for some countries than for others, due to differences in the develop ment of national statistical serv ices.

Use the same method for colored clothes, but use warm water, not scalding.. Brush gravy or salad dressing stains with soap jelly before-washing. Scrape away cahdlewax as much as possible, then sandwich the stained section between two clean white blot ters, press with a warm iron to absorb the! grease, and wash in warm soapsuds.
