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who has withdrawn may be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.
