CAVE WOMEN WERE SLOPPY,
BUT THE ARCHEOLOGISTS
LOYE THEM
We owe a great deal to the cave
woman and to the fact that she was
worst housekeeper in the whole
of man. Heaven only knows
she occupied herself during the j
day, but it was not in tidying up. Ev¬
erything got thrown over in the cor¬
ner. “Hey, ma, what’ll I do with the j
hones?” her children would ask when
they had finished nibbling would on a i
dinosaur’s neck, and she cares? ;
languidly, “Aaaah, who
them already in the corner.”
When her youngsters outgrew their
first set of furs or animal skins, did
she scout around the neighborhood
until she found some other child who
could make use of them? Not her. She
threw them in the corner, and dishes too. Along and j
with her broken pots ;
her husband’s hunting weapons.
“Whatever all happened grinding to that down?” granite 1
ax I spent winter
her husband would demand in a fury.
“Who VVJLJ.U knows?” liiiuwjs : out; she would wuum reply.' icpiy. i |
“Maybe it’s cared over what in the comer.” And
she never her youngsters i
drew with pointed sticks on the walls *
of her living quarters. For heaven
sake,” her husband would scream, 1
“look what that kid’s doing on our
wall!” She would merely say, “Aaaah,
go tell City Hall, ueave him'be. So let
tel,
“I gotta move out of that crummy
cave of mine. My old lady keeps it
like a boar’s nest.” And the second
cave man would say, “What is a boar’s
nest?” And the first cave man would
say, “I don’t rightly know. It’s just
kind of an expression I heard oncet
over to the other side of the valley.”
The cave woman was a slattern by
anybody’s standards, past or present,
but she is the pin-up girl of today’s
archeologists. The stuff she was too
lazy to pick up and throw out ol' the
cave’s mouth makes for rich digging
now by the her people who are trying to
reconstruct appearance, her man¬
ners and her way of life. She left them
a regular paper-chase trail.
The National Geographic Society
sums it up rather neatiy.
ing Announcing that excavating is be¬
resumed at Russell Cave near
Bridgeport in Northern Alabama

years ago), the society reports “For¬

Dr _ Dr. - Gunnar Gunnar „ „ Gunderson, Gunderson, piesident
of the American Medical Assn., sur
prised quite a few people when he
called for an end to industry’s wide
spread practice of compulsory retire
ment. Tiiis practice is based on the
premise that a worker becomes in
efficient at 65 and should make way
Dr. Gunderson throws cold water
on this theory, pointing out that re¬
peated studies show that the healthy,
older worker is usually as good as,
and often better than his younger
colleague.
Dr. Gunderson’s approach is that
of a medical man, but experts in
other fields have raised pointed ques¬
tions about mandatory retirement.
One question is whether companies
should provide more leeway on re¬
tirement age, permitting employees
to stay on if mentally or physically
qualified. This flexibility is missing
in a great many plans. And often
when companies do permit excep¬
tions, they are for top officers rather
than production or clerical workers.
Another serious problem is that
with a mandatory retirement policy,
costs can mount with unexpected
rapidity as the life span of workers
lengthens.
Dr. Gunderson has done a service
stirring up new interest in retire¬
ment. In many cases, company think¬
ing in this area dates back to the
1930s, comparable > the Middle Ages
