SAYS PSYCHOLOGIST
Men should plan how they are going to spend their retirement
at least 10 years before they retire, a renowned American psychologist said today.
He is Mr Harry H. Balkin who said this morning when he arrived on the liner Orsova, "Many people stop all activities as soon as they retire and they die in a short period."
Mr Balkin, who claims to have people psycho-analysed 18,000
| including_former American pro- sidents Calvin-Coolidge, Herbert Hoover and film stars Fred Mac- Murray and Mae West, sold a retired man should keep him- self moderately busy with re- without creational activities tension,
As to when a man should re- tire from professional lic, Mr Batkin said it all dopended on his physical condition, mental well-being and emotional stabi- lity.
Mr Balkin, now 48, retired six years ago after 29 years as a psychologist,
He said he had been neter

and vocational adviser, sizing up executives, and train ing salesmen for over 1,200 American firms.
