10-SAN MATEO TIMES FRIDAY, JAN. 30, 1953 Thought Makes Old Age Worse, Says Science (Following is the fifth of siz dispatches on what shall we do with our old people?) By DELOS SMITH 'United Press Science Editor) NEW YORK OP) Science agrees a man is as old as he But science adds: He may feel older than he is only because he has thought since childhood an old man was good for nothing. Now that he is one, he makes himself so. Most, people think like that and bear down on aged men and women, bowing them with the weight of their collective thought. Such prejudicial thinking does enormous harm.

Social sciences want to change this inherited thought pattern. It is exemplified in old people who once encouraged their own parents to b-i old and therefore useless and now have children who do the same to them. Use Abilities The science of psychology, especially its medical branches, psychiatry and psychosomatics (the power of the mind to influence the physical abilities of the body) advises old people to find out what abilities they have and to make use of all of them. This isn't too difficult. The difficult problem is to change the mass thinking of younger people.

Dr. Joseph W. Mountin, noted authority, put it this way: "Aging persons must be encouraged to ret a i to conserve and to use all their resources, whether they are victims of a long-term illness, or even whether they are in the ad- vnnced stages of what we consider okl age. They must make the maximum use of remaining capacities, however limited if they are to realize their full potential." Stay Young Emphasis Dr. Sidney L.

Pressey, professor of psychology, Ohio State university, called it "determining and emphasizing the potentialities as contrasted with the liabilities older years." Dr. Margert Hill, widely known English authority, SEtd: "The emphasis must be on keeping the middle aged young, as it is i i to rejuvenate the old." But of equal importance to what the old do to themselves in i i and acting old, is what younger people do to them in a i them older than they are. Now take the matter of sex. Dr. Edward W.

Busse the University of Colorado meriical center reported that among aged psychiatric patients "sexual frustration" was not at all uncommon. Face Treatment Old people get into trouble with younger people if they show an interest in sex. It's easier for them to pretend they don't have it--to kid tbemselves as well as younger people. But many of them do, and science believes they should behave as they always have--to whatever lesser degree the body age enforces. An offshoot of this view is that of Cyan Brown, a leading firm of consulting chemists, which foresees an industry specializing in "geriatric cosmetics" for time-marked female faces.

Dr. G. Robinson spychi- atrist and associate professor of the University of Kansas Medical school, advised all practicing physicians at a recent American Medical association meeting to treat the minds of their aged patients, as well as their bodies. Mental Disorder He pointed to the "two security factors" of old age. One is a feeling of independence; the other is a feeling of belonging.

If deprived of one or the other the aged person may well develop a mental disorder, major or minor. Physicians, he said, must give weight to this as well as to the state of the heart, the joints and the blood vessels. He even advised doctors to modify the treatment of the latter in order to preserve the former. Yet old people are systematically deprived both of independence and belonging by young people who haven't any idea, actually, what it means to "act your age." What is being done to change this will he told tomorrow. Officers of the Family Service Agency, a Red Feather service, have named officers for the coming year.

LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HAYWARD You may finii ttiat this is the telephone story of the western town you live in, too 1. Quiet farms and poultry ranches dotted the Hayward, California, area before the war. But since the war's end, industry has been on the march in Hayward. New businesses and expansion of old ones have mushroomed Hayward's population from 8,200 1946 to about 24,000 today. Hayward's annual income has soared, too.

This meant that with more people in town--and more of those people wanting telephone service--we had to grow amazingly fast to keep up with the demand for telephones. And to meet the challenge we've grown faster than ever before in our hijitory. 3. We're still at work in Hayward. Thii building, pleted in 1947, has been twice in 1948 and in 1952 both times with two-story extensions to the rear.

Yet, despite our enormous expansion, we must atiU Mk some people in Hayward to wait for Already, eon. struction has begun on a new building on Hesperian Boulevard. And we'll keep doing our best to take care of pin as well as those we know stiQ lie ahead. 2. We went to work in Hayward as soon as materials became available after the war.

Since then, we've increased the number of telephones in Hayward from 5,207 to nearly gain of more than 15,000 new telephones. To do the job, we invested nearly $6,000,000 in new buildings, central office equipment, cables, poles, wires--all the vast amounts of costly and intricate equipment needed to bring Hayward fine telephone service. Pacific Telephone Growing twice as fast as the population Since the war, Hayward's telephone story told in hundreds of communities up and down the West. Fast as the population has grown, the telephone has grown at an even faster rate--twice fast on the average. And as we work to meet today's demands for service, we're planning ahead to meet the West's telephone demands of tomorrow.

YOUR TELEPHONE IS ONE OF TODAY'S BlST BARGAINS.
