“OLD STUFF,” SAYS GRANDMA
A recent exchange from the States says that Mrs. Ida
Goldberg, the oldest inmate of the United States Homes
for Aged Hebrews, New Rochelles, will be 107 years old
upon her next birthday. Her observation on this life of
ours is very interesting. * She declares human nature has
not changed during the span of her lifetime. As far back
as she can recall her elders said the world was going to the
dogs. Each generation evidently hears the same line. So,
probably, we are not reaching that stage of progress
which witnessed the collapse of the Roman Empire as
many “all-wets” would have us believe. Personally, we
think this is a mighty fine century in which to live in.
WHAT OF OLD AGE?
While not a pleasant subject to dwell upon, an occa
sional look ahead to the condition which may surround
old age would be advisable, even for those whose circum
stances in early life are satisfactory and whose future
seems secure.
We may well be reminded that nearly 80 per cent of
all old people are dependent upon others for support. Yet
many of these in early and middle life were prosperous;
some even wealthy.
Who cannot look about him and see acquaintances
who were once the envy of their neighbors, but who thru
business reverses, accidents, illness or extravagance are
now brought to feel the sting of poverty?
Usually such disasters might have been averted by a
reasonable exercise of prudence and thrift. Keeping up
with one’s neighbors in a false display of prosperity is one
fruitful source of old age poverty, and there are many
others. Much of the misery which usually accompanies
old age might be avoided by looking ahead before it is too
late.
