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. Blue Star Chapter

Stain Removal Tips
Handy for Holidays
New York (U.R) If your
holiday menu is written in stains
on the tablecloth, here are some
'tips for removal. --To
erase cranberry spots from
a white cloth, stretch the stained
portion over a bowl and pour
boiling water from a height of
two or three feet onto the stain.
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. '
- Traces of coffee or tea on
white linens can be - removed
with the same treatment you give
cranberry stains. But such stains
on 'colored linens should be soak
ed in cool wfeter, then washed
in' :warm suds. Rub lipstick
marks first with glycerine, then
wash in warm water.

Wear Cotton Gloves
When Setting Tables
Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) To avoid
finger smears on silverware
when setting the table, wear
clean cotton gloves. -
Each piece of silver pan be
given a final buffing or polish
ing as you set the table, says
Clara Leopold of the University
of Nebraska.
Wash , the gloves . promptly
after use, because the smudge

will stau the cotton. The glove
gimmick also helps to interest
the children in assisting you at
meal time, she adds.
