created. There are great demands
for fishing licenses, hunting li
censes, boats, hobbies of all sorts,
art supplies and musical instru
ments.
These people are enjoying this
leisure time with the exception of
one group; those who are retired.
They are not happy with their
leisure. The problem they have
is not basically financial despite
the fact that, according to A.
Donald Bell in the “Texas Out
look”, “The the 12 million United
States citizens who are age 65
and over (11% of the total popu
lation) 45% are dependent on
relatives; 30% on charity; 23%
still working; and only 2% in
dependent”. These people just do
not want to retire.
The Social Security Adminis
tration recently surveyed 18,000
retired people and found that a
mere four percent had retired of
their own accord. The Adminis
tration discovered that they do
not want to retire, and more, that
if they are forced to do so grave
consequences follow.
Lawrence Stassen, in the “For
bes” magazine, says; “Every day,
somewhere in industry, six hun
dred people walk out of office
doors and never return. No a
larms are sent out; they never
appear on the ‘missing persons’
records of the police departments.
But between two and seven years
later, sixty per cent of them turn
up among the dead, or in hospi
tals or institutions. They were
all victims of a corporation pre
judice against the man over
sixty-five, who is believed to be
an economic risk and is replaced
with young blood.”
There are many reasons why
these people do not want to re-

i tire. Our society places a great
: deal of emphasis upon work as
a duty. This has good results, but
it also makes a large number of
people feel guilty or at least rest
less and dissatisfied when they
are not working. Also work has
much to do with one’s status in
society. Retirement therefore may
mean a surrender of status.
One of the main reasons why
people do not want to retire is
because they have not been pre
pared for it. They do not know
what to do with themselves. For
tunately for the unprepared, more
and more industries are setting
a minimal age for retirement, but
permitting the worker to elect to
work for an additional number
of years if he wishes to do so.
Also more industries are using
i careful job placement service.
This helps the older worker to
another job which is more in
line with his capacities and limi
tations.
The biggest need at present
seems to be for the programs of
counseling, education, health care
and recreation which are spon
sored both by industry and un
ions to include preparation and
guidance about retirement.
Paul B. Maves and J. Lennart
Cedarleaf remind us in their
book, “Older People and the
Church,” that “the church can
play a part in preparing people
for retirement and in helping
them to find creative, construc
tive activities to fill in their lei
sure hours. In its educational pro
gram it can help persons antici
pate the kind of problems they
will face when they reach the
age of retirement. It can help to
teach them how to use leisure
constructively by means of class
es, lectures, and planned oppor
, tunities to practice the arts of
leisure ... by developing an in
. terest in the service projects of
the church it can provide crea
. tive outlets for the energies of
older people”.
“Always the church can insist
that persons come first, and that
society which uses the strength
of its workers must also assume
some responsibility for them
when that strength has waned or
disappeared”.
Many times you have heard
people say, “I just couldn’t loaf
around like so and so”. Well
maybe not, but you had better
begin studying the art of leisure.
If you do not know how to use
your leisure time constructively,
your latter years will be very
miserable.
