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

and ballet dancers are regarded
'old' when astronomers of the
same chronological age are 'prom

Now consider old as It s used
in 'old maid.' Two generations

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

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.
