Successful retirement -a job that takes training mr a OLD AGE often meant desperation for senior citizens; even in Victorian England, only a few pensioners got charity pennies, Social security and planned private insurance programs changed the picture for adult Americans. NEW YORK, N.Y. (ED) — The formal handshakes have been exchanged, The last office luncheon has been duly digested. You've taken home your favorite ash tray, paperweight and potted plant. You're officially retired — with too much time and too little to do. Luckily for one out of ten Americans ~— the 19,000,000plus post 65's in our midst — ‘times are changing. The traditional picture of aretired person, pinching pennies and sitting in the sun, is becoming a thing of the past, as retired people play a larger-than-ever part in community life. For the growing majority of older Americans the change can't come fast enough. Accustomed to the stimulus of out-ofthe-home contacts, they found traditional retirement an acute problem in adjustment — and one that most societies have done little to solve. While the ancient Chinese venerated their elders, and kept them busily useful teaching the young, the modern world has tended to imitate the more recent Victorians who hid a poorhouse over every hill and relegated the aging to lives.of quiet desperation. Today's older Americans are taking their future into their own hands and not waiting for the younger generation toact in their behalf. More and more older persons are rejecting the idea that retirement is equivalent to vegetation. Instead, they are becoming increasingly concerned with civic and social affairs, hobbies, work with the young and other activities’ which lead to a fulfilling and rewarding retirement. Organizations such as the American Association of Retired Persons, which along with its sister group, the National Retired Teachers Association, have dedicated themselvesto the concept of dynamic retirement, are providing the older American with a new approach to living after working careers are completed, A keystone of this new outlook on the part of the older genera*EASY TO READ * tion is its increasing financial security and independence. Social Security has made a vast contribution through providing almost, all older persons with a basic foundation of financial security upon which they can build an intelligent retirement program. Medicare has done much to remove many of the financial problems older persons face in maintaining their health. Of prime importance has been a change in attitude on the part of insurance companies over the past few years in their dealings with older persons. Much of the credit for this goes to an organization called the Colonial Penn Insurance Group which pioneered insurance of all kinds for the aged and proved that it was possible for them to maintain adequate protection, even in their later years. The resulting indépendence has done a great deal to enhance the positive attitudes of persons who have reached retirement age or are anticipating it. Independence is the key word. Without it, the experts say, older people are. peculiarly susceptible to the combination of psychological and physical ills that used to characterize the retirement syndrome. With it, we're living better while we're living longer. Despite the obvious advantages of keeping mature talents at the command of the community, however, it wasn't until this decade that it became possible to pass a 65th birthday without being cut off from the insurance protection that older people need most. As a matter of fact, until Colonial Penn found that retired persons as a group are generally just as good risks as the rest of us = a discovery that sparked ~ the phenomenal growth of such group-insurance~buying organizations as the non-profit American Association of Retired Persons — there was no such thing as today's concept of protection tailored to the needs of the elderly.
