I 4 NEW YORK (UPD Whatever your age, are you young, middle aged or old? Trying to answer this question makes the battle of the superiority of the sexes look like a Sunday school picnic, for even the experts can't settle on firmly drawn aging lines. Psychologists, psychiatrists, an atomists, anthropologists, physiolo gists, nutritionists and even law yers have different points ol view. They agree, however, that there is disagreement about what is young, middle-aged and old, since there are so many variables. Dr. Margaret Mead, of the Mu seum of Natural History, takes the view that the eyes and the times have a lot to do with how you're pegged. lour class, your occupation and the extent of your medical and cosmetic care, she said, figure into how old you appear to others. "Take occupation as an exam ple. People like baseball players and ballet dancers are regarded 'old' when astronomers of the same chronological age are 'prom ising young men.' Now consider old as It s used in 'old maid.' Two generations ago. If a girl wasn't married in her thirties, she was an 'old maid.' Today the term is used to describe unmarried girls in their mid and late twenties.

Ex-Officer Plans Appeal OREGON CITY 1AP1 Robert Wampler is appealing to the state Supreme Court a phase of his legal move to obtain reinstate ment to the State Police, from which he was discharged last fall. The appeal is of the refusal by Clackamas County Circuit Judge Phillip K. Hammond to review Wampler's dismissal. Hammond ruled that Wampler should seek the review in Marion County be cause that was the meeting place of the State Police board that dis missed him. . In announcing the appeal Wam pler said, "if the Supreme Court turns me down, then my case will be lost on a mere lcsal techni cality without judicial review as to the merits of my dismissal." A state Police Board said in upholding Wampler's dismissal that he had broken police rules against discussion of department affairs with outsiders. Wampler now is serving here as a Clackamas County sheriff's deputy. First, there's infancy. It lasts un til the seventh year. Between that time and age 14. there's childhood. And youth stands for the years between 14 1 , J and 21. People between 21 and 50 EntPrS LOW Bid are adults. Old age, according to physiolo gists, is everything after SO. The sands of time, from the an atomist's point of view, leave their marks on human bodies. But the marks aren't left on the same birthday, since some people look 70 when they're 50. and vice versa. The anatomist looks at skin and considers it more reliable index than birthdays. Young skin is pink, solft and smooth like that of in fancy. Hard, wrinkled and coarse skin is old. A combination of the two is middle-aged skin. The anatomist also looks at hair. Thinning, color loss and extreme dryness: Old. That is. if at the same time, hair on other parts of the body flourishes and increases. Gerontology, the science of the study of aging, meanwhile, holds that aging is a part of living. The least important changes, accord ing to gerontologists, are wrinkles and gray hair. Behavior and brain size interest gerontologists. After 40, the brain, according to theory, is somewhat smaller than it was in youth. And after age 75, it shrinks markedly. But gerontologists hold that cer tain attributes improve as old age sets in. Speed slows down, but en durance frequently improves. Judgment increases. If there was intelligence in youth. According to law, there are two main periods between cradle and grave. Infancy, accordingly, lasts until age 12. Everything after that is manhood or womanhood. Infancy, however, is subdivided. At 12. infants of the male variety are permitted to take the oath of allegiance. At 14, infants of both sexes are said to have arrived at the age of discretion.
