OREGON: 1965 Sharp decline of older male worker par

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."

older by 1964, Mrs. Morris
predicted. 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.

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.
