While speaking at an RSVP conference recently, Dr. Robert Butler, director of the National Institute on Aging, said the elderly can make changes as advocates. When one is freed from the necessity of keeping one’s job, new stirrings of independence have been known to appear. We feel liberated from the feelings of “don’t make waves,” “it always been that way,” “don’t rock the boat” and “things won’t change.” THE FOLLOWING ARE some advocacy activites in which older volunteers can become involved : (1) membership on advisory councils, county mental health association and centers; (2) speak out on how revenue sharing money should be spent; (3) fight fraud against the elderly in such matters as hearing aids, insurance and work-at-home schemes; (4) utilize the skills of retired persons in supplying lowcost repair services; (5) organize an employment service for the elderly; (6) provide legal advice on trusts, wills, probate, etc. Paul Kerschner, associate director of the NRTA/AARP, told the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee the “older American programs within ACTION have succeeded beyond our most optimistic expectations.” He pointed out that the number of volunteers is impressive, with 16,000 Foster Grandparents, 250,000 RSVP volunteers and 3,300 Senior Companions.

Broadway

Love You,” and he doesn’t want her to admit being 39. Some people think she wrote the show as a vehicle for herself. Miss Cryer says, but she didn’t. The co-writers auditioned the songs for Papp and he said he’d produce if Miss Cryer starred. So she did, until late May, when four members of the cast changed. Virginia Vestoff now is portraying Heather. NOT EVERY ACTOR CAN play the show. Miss Cryer says. Some auditioned, reading the lines like straight soap opera. “They need to have a flair for comedy and absurdity. I didn’t write funny lines, the source of the comedy is the absurdity of the passionate overreacting of the characters. The manager is slightly caricatured. He and Heather both overdo things.” The show is partly autobiographical. Miss Cryer has heard all the chauvinist speeches she gave the manager to say. She is divorced (from actor-singer David Cryer), and did play a childish role when married, she says. Some feminists. Miss Cryer says, don’t think the show goes far enough. At the end. Heather is not an “arrived liberated person.” “She is on the journey,” Miss Cryer says. “At the point at which the show ends, she realizes she may have to be alone, emotionally, for a while to get her head on straight and be who she is. She can’t be with somebody who is going to require her to be somebody else. Maybe in the future, Heather will regain strength and she’ll have a relationship with a man and hold on to her self and not conform to his.

“IT TAKES A LONG TIME to change Intellectually we may make certain life decisions about the way we want relationships to be. like men and women being equal. We’ve come out of certain molds about the way you should be to be a woman orman. “If you’re questioning those ways and intellectually arriving at a new position, that doesn’t mean your feelings have arrived there. Your feelings may be saying. T don’t , know if I feel like a woman anymore.’ The intellect is a lot quicker than the emotio/is as far as adjusting to new patterns of behavior goes.” THE NEXT CRYER AND Ford project will be a show about Eleanor Roosevelt. They were commissioned to write 10 songs after the script was finished. It’s the first of their collaborations for which Miss Cryer didn’t also write the book. They started writing together when both were students at DePauw. They both married students who went to Yale Divinity School. They lived in the same apartment building in New Haven. Miss Ford was divorced, moved to New York and has remarried. Miss Cryer was divorced 10 years ago. after 11 years of marriage. She had done some Broadway acting but stopped that, at the time of the divorce, because of Robin, now 15. and Jon. 13. “GIVEN THAT I’M a mother and want to do that job. I had to choose some kind of work I could handle that didn’t require being ready to tour around the country. Writing was it.”
