In a recent address published in The Canadian Unionist, he described the custom as "archaic." Without being sure of its origin, he thought it might go back thousands of years to the native' Incas of Mexico who established a fixed age scheme whereby a man was a worker from the ages of 20 to 25, and the head of a family and a taxpayer from 25 to 50. From 50 to GO he just grew old and after !0 he was ' an old man sleeping in the sun." While it would not be desirable to force work on anyone who welcomed retirement, there is much to be said against cancelling out an employee just because he has reached a certain milestone in life. In Mr. Gregg's own government there are four cabinet ministers, including the Prime Minister, who would have to go if the rules were applied to all categories. As this would involve a needless loss of ability and experience, it has become necessary to set up a double standard whereby those at a certain level of responsibility escape the axe at 65. The same situation exists in almost every other branch of industry and is, in itself, an admission that persons over that age are often more capable than those under it. The yank-them-at-65 formula may clear the way to some extent for others coming up, but it has also led to a condition where an employee who finds himself in a rut at 40 or so is nevertheless reluctant to change his job. As he has only 25 years left before going on the pension list, many employers would be ' uneasy about engaging him. Consequently a man can be beaten by the age 'limit long before he reaches it. y If the doctors are right, our age expectancy is i steadily increasing, and it is certainly true that the. demand for specialists today means longer periods of training. As the two forces are combining to push our useful years further along, the time seems to be opportune for moving that age barrier in the , same direction. 1 THE NEW BOOK lacks the) Nor is this surprising.
