Planning for retirement be gins with planning for life, Dr. Frank Strange, Portland, clinical psychologist for the state department of health, told a group Tuesday evening at the Red Cross building. Speaking on "How to avoid retirement shock," Dr. Strange said it has been said that "you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I don't deal with dogs," the doctor continued, "it is amazing what a person can do with a little motiva tion." Retirement is something relatively new, the speaker explained, saying that it used to be when work was over life was over. Other parts of the world, he commented, worry about survival rather than retirement. Means Different Things Retirement means different things to different people, the speaker continued. He said a person about to retire should have a fairly good feeling of his worth, a good attitude to other people, and a reasonable ability to meet the demands of life. "Life is never static," Dr. strange explained, "what is good for one age isn't good for another. Those retiring must keep up with the demands of reality." In the present society, great value is placed on youth, the speaker continued. When planning for retirement, the values must include spiritual well as physical, he ex plained. Beginning of Something Retirement is the beginning of something. Dr. Strange said. Be realistic, don't expect from others what they don't expect to give. The speaker challenged his audience to keep their ideas up-to-date. "Think of yourself as a member of a communi ty," he stressed, "don't with draw. Be with others for pur poseful activity." Asked how an individual who has withdrawn may be helped, the doctor explained that a start would be contact with medical personnel and with the clergy. "Set committments to get accomplished after retire ment," he continued, "these are built-in safeguards to keep a person working toward a goal." The attitude to retirement should be that you are going from something to something Dr. Strange explained. "Have confidence in yourself and you will have the ability to admit your needs so you can do something about them," he said. The talk was the third in a series on "Preparation for Re tirement" sponsored by the social and economics issues committee of the Medford branch, American Association of University Women, and the Rogue Valley Council on Ag ing. The next meeting will be Tuesday, April 17, at the con ference room in the Public Library of Medford and Jack son county at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Clifford Zollinger, Portland, a member of the national council on aging will speak on "New patterns for free time." Her talk will deal with mental growth, use of creative talents and social life with contemporaries. She also will show the film "Senior Crafts man," which is a program started in Portland that has been used as an example throughout the United States. Putnam Will Leaves Fund To Willamette!
