Germany, 1963: QUEEN'S GAMBIT DECLINED White: L. Portiseh Black: H. Donner in the 316-page volume, "Human Aging: A Biological and Behavioral Study," published by the U.S. Government Printing Office. In a multidisciplinary effort 22 scientists at the National Institutes of Mental Health studied 47 elderly men (65-92) from the points of view of medicine, physiology, psychiatry and psychology.

Past studies have concentrated on the ill among the elderly, but this particular project was concerned with apparently healthy old people. The men studied were found not to fit the stereotype of the elderly "rigid and childish," but were described as -set only mentally flexible and alert, but "vigorous, candid, interesting and deeply involved, in everyday living." The older men were significantly superior to young men in verbal intelligence. Of the 47 studied 27 were healthier than the others but those in Group II who had definite evidence of disease were affected to such a minimal degree that less thorough examinations would have failed to uncover the disease. Comparison of the two groups, however, brought out significant differences which the researchers regard as relating more to disease than to aging. These included decreased comprehension, memory, attention and readiness to respond, and emotional responsiveness.

The researchers suggested that disease had pulled these men down from a previously higher level. The report concludes with the suspicion that "psychological reactions to the loss of friends and other environmental supports may amplify if not initiate changes in the older nervous system and thereby the rest of the organism," accelerating senility. But a sound mind in a sound body is definitely a deterrent to aging. Life, after all, may begin at 60. MEDICAL SWIFTIES We're indebted to the Psychiatric Reporter for these, the last, of the medical swifties: "Your tumor is not malignant," said Tom beningnly.

"Our nurses are uniformly good," he added starchily. "I know he's Dr. Wasser-man," said Tom positively, "and I've already been immunized," he injected. And finally: "I'm not an obstetric specialist," apologized Tom with an awkward, embarrassed Is. and Is 3d.

It's designed to offer emergency protection against the disease without producing the severe reactions that sometimes result from injections of older tetanus antitoxins.

The new antitoxin is relatively safe because it's made from the blood of human volunteers instead of that of horses or cows to which many humans are allergic. Tetanus is caused by bacteria called Clostridium te-tani. Spores of this bacteria are commonly found in barnyards, streets and other dirty places. When they enter the body through a small wound they hatch into bacteria which release poisons that attack red blood cells and strike at the nervous system causing rigidty of the jaw muscles among other symptoms. In recent months medical groups including the American Medical Association and the American College of Surgeons have expressed concern about tetanus.

They say that apathy about booster shots of toxoid (needed every five years) is leaving Americans increasingly vulnerable to tetanus. Similar concern was expressed here recently when Canadians were asked to observe National Immunization Week by checking on their own inoculation records. YOUNG AT HEART It's not the number of candles on the cake, but the ability to digest the cake that determines how "old" an elderly person is, according to a study recently completed by a group of U.S. Public Health Service scientists. The researchers found that the elderly are "remarkably young" if they retain their health with advancing age.

The scientists predict that with the promise of control of the now common metabolic diseases of later life and continued advances in the area of personality development, there will be "more individuals who are old in years but functionally young by present standards."
