Young Folks
Prepare For
Longer Lives
By VIVIAN IIOWN
AP Newafeaturee Writer
Did you ever stop to think you
might ?Urt your "iccond life" at
age 40? By then the life expect
ancy of women will probably be
around 00. It's more than 70 right
now
How are yoa equipped to cope
with the idea?
A group of young girli thought
about that problem recently, and
were amazed that they had to re
organize their thinking ....
"It would be ail right for the
man" aaid one girl. Hatll have a
Job. office frienda, something to
keep Mm bysy. But what about
women."
Her friend agreed adding ... "all
the children will be married prob
ably by that time. There won't
be anything to do around the house
. . . we'll probably Just push a but
ton that aays potatoes and have
them roll out of a container that
peels, cuts and dumps them into
a pot that will automatically cook
them."
How about the fact too, that
men die earlier than women? an
other girl inquired. "That means
unless he's provided adequately,
his widow will be a bad risk men- 1
tally and financially." - '
"Social security" the girls agreed
"la nice to have but It shouldn't
lull anyone Into believing it will
let you retire on it alone. And it
will not keep you busy, an lm- 1
portent consideration in old age."
The girls were bothered too that
if they married young, they would
not have time to absorb career
acumen or even create Incentive
for it.
"In great grandma's time this
was no problem" pointed out one
girl "ah# had her old friends and
was content with looking out the
window, taking a walk and kaffee
klatsch or tea party. She didn't
live to a ripe old age either. She
was old at 40. ,
"But take my grandma. She's
spry, attractive, makes money
baby sitting, collects a little money
from the government, but it's not
enough to keep her In her own
home which she'd dearly love to
have.
"She visits one or another of
her children, but feels they are Just
being nice to her because they
should."
The girli decided that even
young married women should con
tinue to study or work, getting
some practical experience. Mother
hood shouldn't interfere with their
trying to gather knowledge for the
future.
"If a young married girl would
begin the study, of one subject,
reading everything available on it,
Just think how brilliant she'd be
on it by the time she's 40. She.
could give up reading trivia and
concentrate on a serious idea."
Any young girl who is not com
pleting her education because she
is getting married, or is studying
academic noncareer - making sub
jects, might "consider these
pastime study suggestions , , .
Stenography ? Teach yourself
with a good stenography book. A
friend can dictate to you when you
get to speed tests.
typewriting?Invaluable in many
jobs. Rent one, buy a book on the
subject, follow directions, and pret
ty soon you'll be in the 60-words
a-mlnute class.
A talent for sculpturing or paint
ing might be used in the useful
pursuit of ceramics. Public li
braries have good books on the
subject.
How about a design career if
you have talent with pencil or
needle. There's always room for
another hat or dress designer,
fashion artist or seamstress.
Selling?Life insurance, real es
tate pay good commissions, some
times over long periods.
Photography?It's a good career
at any age. Invest in a camera,
read everything you can about it,
take pictures, enjer them in con
tests to get a start and to have
'our work evaluated for encour
igement.
A shop might be set up in your
iwn home. Consider a book shop,
>r one where you can unload home
;ewing such as infant's and chil-:
lren's wear. An expert baker
night make pies, cakes. A good
iardener could specialize in cut
lowers or nursery stock.
Whatever you choose?it's worth
setting your sights for now if you
vant to live happily and comfort
ibly in your old age.

nercial livestock slaughter plants
in the United States during No
