TUESDAY ISSUE Next Issue Friday Vol. 34, No. 16 Red Cross to Launch Drive March First The great floods and hur ricanes of the past year have drained the American Red Cross treasury, which now needs replenishing through the annual membership drive about to get under way. This is called to the attention of Chapel Hillians by. Tony Gobbel, local Red Cross chap ter chairman, in announcing that division chairmen have completed plans for launch ing the Chapel Hill campaign day after tomorrow (Thurs day ). "The past year has been a serious one for the Ameri can Red Cross,” Mr. Gobbel said. "Many people have lost their lives and homes through flood and wind in areas that include our own coast. The Red Cross has helped people in stricken areas by spending $27,000,- 000 for emergency relief, and this has diminished our national disaster fund to an alarmingly low figure. Like! other communities through out the country, we are be-1 ing asked to chip in with our share in the rebuilding of this fund. "At the same time, our own local Home Service and Special Services divisions have answered all the many calls that have come to them during this year of national disasters. The Nurses Aides and Gray Ladies have con tinued to give their time and energies at Memorial Hospital here and at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Durham. Our First Aid is training men and women to serve our com mur.itar. Th? Jo.-dor Rjd Cross is equipping young people for becoming better citizens and creating inter national good will. At our executive office at 138 Vi East Franklin Street our workers are on call twenty four hours a day. "Our local budget remains the same as last year. With our disaster call added, our total quota for this year is SO, 184. The need is great,! the call urgent. Your contri-l bution—no matter.what its 1 extent—becomes a great J meaningful force because it; is strengthened and support ed by many others who also join and serve.” The membership drive is scheduled to last from March 1 to March 12. Advance col lections in the business dis tricts are already being made. Glenwood PTA Will Discuss Bond Issue Paul Carr, Orange County Su perintendent of Schools, and Wil liam S.

Senior Citizens' Column (The following review pf “Re habilitation of the Older Worker” was written for the Weekly’s Senior Citizens’ Column by George B. Cutten, former presi dent of Colby College, who hus been a Chapel Hill resident since his retirement several years ago.) By George B. Cutten Rehabilitation of the Older Worker. Edited by Wilma Dona hue, James Rae Jr., and Roger B. Berry. Two hundred pages. University of Michigan Press, 1963. Beginning in 1948, and every [year since then, annual confer | cnees on the various problems of gerontology have been held at the University of Michigan, with a steady increase in inter est. The lectures presented dur ing the first five years have been published in three volumes entitled “Living Through the Older Years,” “Planning the Old er Years,” and “Growing in the Older Years.” The fourth volume, “Rehabili tation of the Older Worker,” contains a report of the sixth conference held by the Univer sity of Michigan in 1953. The first three volumes, being some what introductory, stress the gen eral aspects of the problems of the aged. The fourth volume, however, branches out into more specific aspects of “Life Among the Aged.” In this last named volume two new phases of the problem or condition are emphasized and helpfully treated. The first is the apparent discovery that peo ple over sixty-five years of age may be of value, and are need ed in our economy. The second is that one specialist cannot often provide all the skill, know ledge, and treatment necessary for the task of keeping the aged person in condition to make his valuable contribution in his lat er years, but in addition to the various medical specialists, psy chological, social, religious, edu cational, recreational, labor, man agement, and other specialists should co-operate to do an ef ficient task of rehabilitation; or, better yet, to make rehabilitation unnecessary. I think that if I had my life to relive, I would not retire. Oh yes, I’d resign my task at sixty eight and immediately seek an other more difficult one. I would not admit that “retirement” and “uselessness” are synonymous Chapel Mill Cku(l L.G. A discussion of heart dis ease does not at first sight seem to belong in a column headed Chaff, but Dr. Paul Dudley White, consultant for President Eisenhower, struck so many cheerful notes in his talk in Rocky Mount last week that I find what he said not inappropri ate here. And as for the oth er part of the heading, he gave a Chapel Hill connec tion to his remarks by re calling his friendship and his high professional regard for Dr. Ernest Craige, heart specialist in our Memorial Hospital, and Dr. Edward Or gain, who has treated so many Chapel Hillians in Duke Hospital. • 1 listened to Dr. White’s talk over the radio and at the end I was more convinc ed than ever that the pub lic had been right in inter preting his statements in the last few months as meaning that he thought the Presi dent could continue in of fice without danger. After the celebrated heart specialist had taken part in the symposium sponsored by the Heart Association and | the Medical Society of Edge combe and Nash Counties, he spoke at a heart forum in the high school auditori um. He answered readily questions from the audience and from newspaper report ers. He told of the great in crease in knowledge of var ious forms of heart trouble. One thing he said was that, twenty-five or thirty years ago, when a person had a coronary thrombosis the doc tors usually gave him not '.'.lore than two or three ysars to live, whereas now they know that he can not only (Continued on Rage 2) terms. Retirement is a vicious and deadly work; a man may be handling the responsibilities of a difficult position efficiently, but the next day, having retired, he is considered as impotent as though he had jumped off a precipice and landed on a scrap heap. Even this book does not escape this implication—the title reveals that! Rehabilitation im plies the serious decline of abili ty of one or several kinds, and an effort to restore them. When you admit that you have retired, people take you seriously, assign you to the waste basket, and make preparation to assume the burden of your presence and your support. Well, the number of old people is increasing very rapidly, and if we can use them we’d better start doing so. The ordinary hospital and the ordinary physician may neglect the rehabilitation aspects of the case; they recognize the patient’s weaknesses but not his strengths. He may need encouragements more than medicines or retrain ing. Perhaps he needs the help of the football trainer, whose job it is to return the player back to the line by next Satur day afternoon. Experience shows that 90 per cent of old people can be restored to complete self care and to ambulation. The pub lic is not up to date on the pos sibilities of old people. The sheltered workshop is probably necessary for oi 1 peo ple who cannot secure employ ment in competitive industrv.* But the ideal of this shouli be a way station and not a dead end, for here special skills miphi be taught to those injured by ill ness or accident, and the home bound would perhaps be included in this class. Rehabilitation aims at painless physical independence, the re duction of a social economic burden, the re-integration of an old person into the family group, and his return to his former job or his training for a new one. The new approach restores the majority of the aged to self suf ficiency and to some vocational competency, to the benef‘t of all concerned, individual, family, and community.
