Aging
on TV
ctiveness as individuals,
growing more and more
alike as a group.
Old Myths, New Realities
features nine Penn
sylvanians, ranging in age
from seven to ninety, whose
comments are used to
examine how individuals
respond to their own age and
how they perceive the
process of aging. Their
responses are given further
perspective through in
terviews with experts in the
fields of gerontology,
geriatrics and social ser
vices who discuss the biology
of aging, public policy and
public attitudes toward the
elderly, and stereotyping.
The program also explores
several conflicting
sociological theories about
aging.
Appearing are Elias Cohn,
former Pennsylvania
Commissioner of Aging;
Joseph H. Britten, Chairman
of the Gerontology Center,
the Pennsylvania State
University; and from Penn
State’s Division of Individual
and Family Studies,
professor Paul Baltes,
biologist Robert B. Mitchell,
and psychologist Charles
Taylor.
Old Myths, New Realities
can be seen on PPTN
member station WITF-
Hershey. The program was
first broadcast by PPTN in
May, 1975.

FORT COLUNS, COLO. -
Weaning pigi at two daya of
age could mean more piga
per aow per year, Henry
Menge, a scientist with the
U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA)
reported here recently.
Producers must now wait
until piga are weaned at
three weeks to rebreed their
sows. Weaning pigs at two
days would enable producers
to rebreed their sows sooner,
resulting in more litters of
pigs per year.
Menge and animal
scientist Lowell T. Frobish
conducted experiments at
USDA's Agricultural
Research Center, Beltsville,
MD., in which they fed
newborn, cross-bred pigs a
variety of diets. “We allowed
the pigs to nurse for two days
and then fed them cow’s mUk
for either one or two days,”
Menge said. “After feeding
the cow’s milk, we fed the
pigs different ratios of a dry
starter to cow’s milk,
followed by feeding the dry
starter alone.”
