OREGON: 1965 Sharp decline of older male worker par ticipation is charted clearPy in Oregon's 1965 work force pic ture. The trend drew official study during Northwestern Re gional Conference on Aging at Portland's Reed college June j 29-July 2. o . o Standard of Living Claimed Threatened o Portland The sfepped-up care of their need; i . . V j : i a. it exoaus 01 oiaer persons irom TUtUM AT LOWEST PRICES i r the labor force threatens to lower the nation's average standard of living, delegates to the Northwestern Regional Conference on Aging were warned yesterday. Presenting industry's view in the conference section, "So cial and Economic Implica tions of an Aging Popula tion" Mrs. Betty Morris, Palo Alto, research director for the National Association of Manu facturers' western division, said: "Every means of obtaining the greatest utilization of competent older workers must be studied; not for sentimental reasons, but because our econ omy cannot yet afford the loss of eir productivity?' Problem Grows e e The problem grows as anoin creasing number ofagnd pro portion of older workers re tire and stop producing, but continue consuming. A small er number of goods and serv ices to divide among the same number of people results in a living standard reduction, according to Mrs. Morris. The Pacific Northwest's la bor force, by present yard sticks, will have lost 1.8 per Cent Of men ages OO-bl and rr,-k thrnwintr and found 17 3 per cent of men 65 and! that a car had crashed down which amounts only to the use of their services government, at iridustry's expense, will end up doing the job." Industry must Jhink of em ployees in terms of "func tional," rather than chrono logical, age to offset unions' practice o promoting spread of automatic retirement at 60 or 65 through negotiated pen sion plan provisions, she said. "Obstacles deterring elimi- nation oP automatic retire ment are not unsurmount- able," Mrs. Morris said. "The goat of successful retirement full use of a person's capa city as long as he able and willing to' give the benefit of his experience and talents to his employer is worth the the effort."

Gains foreseen among older women will not offset these losses, she said. Warning that the problem of the older persons in our so ciety is not one of the short run, Mrs. Morris urged that they bje judged on their indi vidual merits, ability and de gree of contribution they make to the economy. Eligible Voters Already over 14 per cent of the country's eligible voters are persons 65 or over," she said. "If industry will not take an embankment, killings one of its occupants and seriously injuring two others. Donald Lee Kincaid, 19, who suffered a broken leg, had crawled 'back to the edge of the highway and had thrown the rocks in an effort to summon help. ' Patrlomen said the body of Dallas Monroe" McGill, 18, was found in the car. Charlie Henry 24, was pinned beneath the vehicle and received a broken leg and internal injuries.

SP 2-6141 through my binoculars, I watched a raven do it. After pecking at the ground a few times, the big bird tipped his head back, brought his wings somewhat forward, then lowered his head and proceeded to rub it along the inside of his left wing. He did the same with the other one. Meantime, as this strange business contin ued, I noticed that his tail feathers wereo swept to one side, as if he were trying to curl them around his legs. There are various explana tions for the peculiar ritual, but probably the most com monly accepted is that the bird scoops up ants in its beak and puts them on his winds. SThen the ants either start hunting ' the parasites with which the, bird's plumage is infested, or they exude a formic acid that serves as a mild but obviously not un pleasant irritant. Cases of rooks' and other members of the tribe anting with burning pieces of straw or lighted cigarettes or cigar jutts bear out the parasite theory. So do reports of birds going through the ritual of collecting -vfifod smoke under Dead Cigar Butts On the other hand, reports of birds using dead cigar butts or citrus fruit peel under their wings while they go through a sort of estacy makes it pos sible their reaction is much like that of a cat indulging in catnip. I favor the parasite theory, myself. There is a mild acid in citru fruit peel, for ex ample, and judging from the effect of a dead cigar butt on many people, its action on a wing louse ought to be in the nature of g total weapon. The raven I was watching in the Jordan valley repeated the process several times until I shifted my position. The movement caught his atten tion. Spreading his wings, he croaked once or twice and flapped heavily away around a barren hillock.
