Editorial notes a proposal from Mrs. Howard Brubaker urging colleges to offer one or two year courses for seniors. The aim is to prepare retirees for public service roles in anti poverty teaching and volunteer work and to enrich leisure years. Brubaker offers retired professors and volunteers to staff courses.
The piece argues for expanding community and small private colleges to relieve university crowding. It suggests adult education and retirement courses as a practical start, redirecting older students toward public service roles. Education is a lifelong process benefiting retirees and communities alike.

Also noted were city workers turning from street trucks to a buffalo roundup and a bull calf barbecue for guests at a utilities convention.
