On behalf of these companies , and at no charge to the mw1icipality, ISO surveys and classifies the fire defenses of individual communities. A spokesman from the ISO state office has advised that the classification of public fire protection is one of the factors used in determining rates for fire insurance coverage on many properties. The ISO representatives also analyzed the water supply for 1\lilo to de­termine its adequacy and reliability. Actual Dow tests were made in various parts of the town to determine the quantities of water available for combating serious fires.

MILO PUBLIC LIBR.ARY NEWSLETTER We have a new author, Australlan-born Colleen McCul­

lough. ITer novel is The Thorn Birds, a most exhllarating of reading e":periences. A book that enfolds the reader in its capacious arms. There is simply no way to put it down once you have begun, or to separate yourself from the lives and loves of this fascinating family; the Clearys.

· This saga begins in the early part of this century, when Paddy Cleary moves his wife, Fiona, and their seven children to Drogheda, the vast Australian sheep station owned by his autocratic and childless older sister; and it ends in more than half a century later when the only survivor of the t_hird gener­ation, the brilliant actress Justine O'Neill, sets a course of life and love halfway around the world from her roots.

The author of the international best seller, The Bermuda Triangle, has written another book that investigates a series of new and baffling incidents which took place in that myster­ious section of the Atlantic Ocean also known as the Devil's Triangle. Incidents brought to light by the world- wide reaction to his first book.

Without a Trace, by Charles Berlitz, is filled with start­ling stories of strange occurrences within the triangle; pecu­liarities of sea and weather; the appearance of "ghost ships" and a catalog of vessels which have disappeared from 1800 through 1976; clouds that seem to chase and capture ships and planes; time warps; and the possibility of a doorway in the area leading to another dimension, or even to outer space.

The result is a book filled with an abundance of evidence and information never before available and Mr. Berlitz uses it here to support some startling theories and explanations concerning events that continue to haunt the Bermuda Triangle.

A new Avalon book: The Necklace of Peril by Ruth Bur­nett. --Victoria Allen is to star in an historical play entitled "The Hate Necklace" based on the 20-year period when Britain ruled Florida.

The play depicted the life of the daughter of the Brltlsh governor and her romance with Spanish pirate· Sebastian.

A gorgeous sapphire necklace was crucial to the plot. LIBRARY HOURS:

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION & WELFARE Letter to the Editor:

President Carter has requested Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Secretary ,Joseph A. Califano Jr. to develop recommendations for a National Health Insurance plan to be submitted to Congress.

In preparing this plan, the Department is ·developing a major outreach program to seek views and recommendations from as many citizens and groups as possible before the pro­posal is finalized.

High priority is being given to reaching those individuals or groups who would otherwise have trouble making their views known.

HEW is asking that anyone with ideas, reactions or com­ments on National Health Insurance submit them to the Boston Regional Office at the address listed below.

Comments and information may be submitted in any form such as letters, position papers, or memoranda.

All comments received by the Regional Office will be for­warded to the Office of the Secretary for consideration before a final report is presented to the President.

The deadline for the written comments submitted to the Regional Office is October 1, 1977. All comments should be mailed to HEW Regional Public Affairs Office, Room 2411, John F. Kennedy Federal Building, Government Center, ·BI'ls­ton, Massachusetts 02203.

EDITOR '8 KOTE:

Warren M. McFague Acting HEW Principal Regional Official

It was with a great deal of interest that this letter was re­ceived in this office. All citizens of this area are urged to accept this invitation to provide "in, put" into this govern­ment program.

If anyone should know the sad effects of government getting into the health field, it is the people of the Mil

1o area.

When you consider the loss of health care servtces that we here in this little area have suffered since the beginning of government intervention as a part of the Medicare program, imagine what the rules and regulatlons and beaurocracy · would be if the government got interested in a national health insurance program.

Almost everyone would agree that the Milo area does not begin to be able to get the scope and quality of health care that was available here 20 to 25 years ago. Mueh of this is due to the red tape of governmental intrusion into the health care field. ·

Everyone agrees that the Sovial Security program is a bene­fit to many but since it started with a small deduction from your wages and an equally small expense to your employer, notice the size of the chunk it takes out of your paycheck now, and there are rumors that the Social Security program is on very bad financial footing right now. Let no one be ln doubt that a national health insurance program would not also start out small basis and then burgeon into another federal beauro­cracy which can set its own premium increases to which the people would be subject . -

Write to the address and tell HEW that we will buy our O'h

health insurance from the company of our choice and we wilY use this insurance to go to the hospitals of our choice, and to the doctors of our choice.

Big Brother - butt out.

bill cohen FROM CONGRE.SS Last week the House of Representatives debated legislation

concerning mandatory retirement based on age. As a member of the House Select Committee on Aging and a cosponsor of the bill, I testlfied at committee hearings in favor of this legisla­tion which seeks to reduce the incidence of mandatory retire­ment, and I argued for passage of the bill on the floor of the House.

The bill is an amendment to the existing Age Discrimina­tion in Employment Act (ADEA). Despite its name, the law in its present form has merely confirmed the second- class status of the elderly in this country, since the law protects only those under the age of 65.

Every day more than 4, 000 Americans reach 65. On that day, these individuals - - although not discerniblyolder, physi­cally or mentally, than the day before -- are abruptly moved into the n&w category of the "aged. " Suddenly, they lose one of their most important legal protections, the age discrim in­ation law. In passing the ADEA, Congress has made it legal for employers to discriminate against their employees who are over the age of 65. Rights of employment are swept away , re­gardless of the individual's health, intelligence, or capability.

The new House bill changes all that. Among other things, the bill:

- - Ra ises the age of coverage unde r the Age Discrimination in Employment Act from 65 to 70.

--Eliminates the mandatory retirement age for Federal employees.

- - Closes the loophole in existing law which allows manda­tory retirement below 65 when provided for a "bona fide em­ployee benefit pla n. "

--Requires the Secretary of Labor to report on the feasi­bility of eliminating completely the upper age limitation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

Abillty to perform a job cannot be evaluated in terms of age alone , for it does not take into account differing knowledge and capabilities among individual workers. The commitment and experience of older workers is an important element in job performance. It is necessary for us to dispel the notion that a person's age determines his or her ability to perform.

A study by Dr. Richard L . Sprott at the Jackson Labora­tories in Bar Harbor has shown that learning ablllty and I. Q. do not decrease with age, but remain steady and may even in­crease, depending upon the individual's profession, interests, and of course, health.

A major concern for all of us is the hardship that manda­tory retirement imposes upon older Americans. They are robbed of a major source of creative satisfaction, of social relationships and status, and often, self-respect. The limi­tation in the law suggests that people at age 65 are no longer competent, actlve, healthy individuals. In reality, inability, inactivity , and illness a re often the results of, rather than the r easons for, rettr·ement. Enforced idleness will s lowly erode and can ultimately destroy an individual's desire to live. It encourages personal disintegration by destroying purpose, and limiting the opportunities for physical and mental activity. The fact that the suicide rate for males peaks at the age of 65 should be an indicator of the ageism we have bred into our soc i.ety.

Financially, mandatory retirement not only means a sud­den loss of income, but it can also result in lower benefits under Social Security, if the e mployee would have earned high­er wages in later years. The limitation on working years is

especially d isadvantageous to women -- who often enter the work force late, after raising a family or following a divorce or the death of their husbands -- since it reduces their a bility to accrue signif icant pension beneflts.

Should a r etiree seek re-employment , he or she wlll f~ a much more difficult time because o£ age d iscrim ination, At the same time , forced retireme nt unnecessa rily increaseB government expenditures for income maintenance programs, such as Social Security, and social service programs for people who, in many cases , would remain self-supporting if given the opportunity to do so.

In my opinion, the fundamental argument for eliminating fo r ced r etirement based upon an arbitrar y age limit is that we live in a society which desires equal opportunity fo r its citi­zens. We must res ist discrimination in any form, whether it is aimed at minority groups, women, the handicapped or older Americans.
