Though She's 70,She'll Still Be Working Says Medical Specialist On Old Age
New York—(U.P.)—A little old lady of 70 starting off for the office in the morning won't be surprising 15 years from now, Dr. Charles E. Dutchess said.
Dr. Dutchess, medical director of Schenley laboratories and a specialist an old age and its diseases, has decided that the working span for women will be extended by 15 years in the next decade or so. Figuring 55 as the average top age for today's working women, he arrives at 70 as a comfortable age for tomorrow's lady employees.
"It won't be a wonder drug that will do it," he said, though he lifted a bottle of yellow capsules from his desk drawer with the comment: "These are a brand new remedy to help prevent degeneration of the arteries, one of the main problems of old age."
The added years to woman's working span will result "just by a general improvement in health brought out by a number of medical discoveries, plus better diets, housing, and medical care," he said. "And our economic situation," he added "will provide more jobs for older women."
The 56-year-old doctor pointed out that older women often make more reliable employees than younger women.
"They're not so likely to take a day off because of a late night out or want to slip away to go shopping,' he explained.
The two secretaries in his outer office didn't seem to have gray hair between them, so Dr. Dutchess was asked, "Would you hire a woman 70 years old, or even 55 years old, to work for you?"
He countered with another question.
CHRISTMAS CARDS OF CHARACTER
"Would you hire Bernard Baruch to run a business for you, or Winston Churchill to make a plea in court for you? They're both past 75." Seeing he was winning Dr. Dutchess continued, "Would you let George Bernard Shaw help you write this story for you?"
