The March meetlng of Lawson

at the Hllleary house Tuesday ev-
ening, March 10. The meeting was
announced in the pYogram .book to
be held at the home of Mrs. Pax-

Mrs. John Osbourn ,to the hospi-
.tal and t'he severe cold suffered

place was changed.

tel Brockman, and Mrs. Lacey Bail
ey were the hostesses for this meet
ing serving coffee, cake and as-

and one visitor.
Mrs. League regretfully announ
ced that Mr. Wheeler had called

address the ,meeting because of
the sudden illness of Mrs. Wheel-
er. The members were very sorry
to hear of this because the Rev.

Byrd Introduce Bill To
Retirement Age
Senatons Robert C. Byrd and
Jennings Randolph (both D-W.
Va.) have introduced a bill that
would lower the voluntary Social'
Security retirement age for bo~h
men and women to 60.
The measuro, which wou~ld give
aging persons opportunity to recei
ve benefits five years sooner than
under present regulations, has
been referred to the Senate Fin-
ance Committee.
Sens. Byrd and Randolph said
in a joint statement that the new
bill (S. 1186) not only would aid
aging persons, but would contri-
bu~ to better economic conditions
in areas of unemployment.
"If thousands of older men and
women can be given a chance to
retire at a younger age" they said
"than then jobs which they leave
will be open to other persons now
seeking employment."
The Senators added, however
that the foremost objective of the
bill is to help older persons.
":We believe tha, t the traditional
retirement age ol 65 is an arbi-
trary figure which does not truly
reflect the economic facts of life",
they said. "It disregards the hum
an factor that some people are
forced to retire before ~hat time
for physicial reasons• Moreover,
job opportunities for older workers
are becoming more and more re-
stricted.
"As workers grow older they
find themselves exposed to work-
ing conditions of heat. pace, inten
sity, noise, load, risk and respon-
sibility which are beyond their
physical ability. Many persons
who have worked all their lives at
hard labor suffer injury and chron
ic ill health during their later
years. They are in a twilight zone-
being unable to qualify for disabil
ity benefits, yet unable to find
and hold jobs to sustain them un
til they reach age 65 and can quaI
lfy for old-age benefits."
