Hello June, Val's right. He had an income - not necessarily very large, but enough to live on. Maybe he had an annuity left by a relative in a Will, or a pension from army service or such, or a house he let out?

While I had heard of the Gray Panthers, I did not know very much about the organization. Margaret Eliza Kuhn (Maggie) was the founder of this organization and its leader for more than20 years. If this were her only accomplishment, she would be remembered as a tireless worker endeavouring to bring about changes for the good of all people. The following URLs and short essay on Maggie will give the reader a good idea of the type of person she was. http://www.greatwomen.org/women.php?action=viewone&id=96 http://www.answers.com/topic/maggie-kuhn http://www.harvardsquarelibrary.org/cfs2/maggie_kuhn.php http://www.dailycelebrations.com/080303.htm Capt'n John Maggie Kuhn: founder of Gray Panthers Profile of Maggie Kuhn, who formed the Gray Panthers, an organization which addressed age discrimination, pension rights, nursing home reform, and other issues affecting the elderly. Margaret Eliza Kuhn was born on August 31, 1905 in Buffalo, New York to Minnie and Samuel Kuhn. She preferred to be called "Maggie" instead of Margaret. In 1921, at the age of sixteen, she graduated from West High School in Cleveland. She attended Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Commenting on her education, she said, "In those days higher education for women was still in its adolescence. We were given two career options-nursing and teaching-and it was expected that any career would be interrupted early on for marriage. I majored in English literature with minor studies in sociology and French." In her sophomore year she joined Gamma Delta Tau sorority. In 1926, she graduated from Western Reserve with honors. In 1930, she became head of the Professional Department of business girls at the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. She believed in the Y's philosophy, "One of the things I valued most about the Y was its belief in the ability of groups to empower the individual and to change society. Social workers back then called it 'group work.' The idea was that individuals find purpose and meaning through group association." In 1941, the beginning of World War II, she became a program coordinator and editor for the YWCA's USO division. Kuhn commented that, "The common view today is that women's liberation benefited from World War II. Hired by defense industries to build aircraft and guns, women found a new freedom and earning power." After the YWCA's USO division was phased out in 1948, she became program coordinator for the General Alliance for Unitarian and Other Liberal Christian Women in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1950, in order to take care of her ailing parents, she accepted a job near them in Philadelphia as assistant secretary of the Social Education and Action Department at the Presbyterian Church's national headquarters. She recalled that, "At the YWCA I had worked to bring better working conditions, education and enrichment to working-class women. In the social action department, my co-workers and I urged churchgoers to take progressive stands on important social issues: desegregation, urban housing, McCarthyism, the Cold War, nuclear arms. We believed that without powerful institutions like the Presbyterian Church advocating reform, many problems would go unsolved." In 1964, she took a sabbatical from her job at the Presbyterian Church and taught a course on ethics and poverty at San Francisco Seminary in Marin County. In 1969, she became a program executive for the Presbyterian Church's Council on Church and Race, and was a member of a subcommittee that dealt with the problems of the elderly. She was interested in the issues facing the elderly, she said, "Since the1961 White House Conference on Aging, which I attended as a Church observer, I had developed an interest in problems of the aged." When Kuhn reached retirement age, she was distressed because she did not want to stop working. She said, "I had never given retirement much thought. My sixty-fifth birthday was in August, but I had hoped the Church would ask me to stay on in my job on a year-to-year basis.As I felt energetic enough to go on for many years, the idea of retiring struck me as ludicrous and depressing." In 1970, at the age of 65, she met with a group of five of her friends to address the problems of retirees. The group that grew out of this meeting was named the Consultation of Older and Younger Adults for Social Change. After a year, this organization had 100 members. The group was later named the Gray Panthers in 1972. In 1973, eleven chapters of the Gray Panthers were opened. In 1975, the Gray Panthers held its first national convention in Chicago. The Gray Panthers quickly received public notoriety and grew as a national organization. In 1990, the Gray Panthers public policy office opened in Washington, D.C. Kuhn described the mission of the Gray Panthers, "In the tradition of the women's liberation movement, the common mission of all the Gray Panther groups was consciousness-raising. Instead of sexism, we were discovering 'ageism'-the segregation, stereotyping, and stigmatizing of people on the basis of age." Over the years, the Gray Panthers have been involved in grassroots activities that deal with public and governmental policies that deal with the elderly. Maggie Kuhn died in 1995. Before her death she wrote an autobiography entitled, The Life and Times of Maggie Kuhn. She had never married and was able to be involved in many activities that helped make significant changes in the welfare of the elderly. Speaking about never being married, she said, "Many people ask why I never married. My glib response is always 'Sheer luck!' When I look back on my life, I see so many things I could not have done if I had been tied to a husband and children." Maggie Kuhn, the Gray Panthers charismatic leader changed the face of society with regard to the elderly. She was a committed, hard-working woman who at age 65 began an organization that continues her tradition of fighting for a better life for all. Her advice for those who want to make a change in the world is, "Go to the people at the top-that is my advice to anyone who wants to change the system, any system. Don't moan and groan with like-minded souls. Don't write letters or place a few phone calls and then sit back and wait. Leave safety behind. Put your body on the line. Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind-even if your voice shakes. When you least expect it, someone may actually listen to what you have to say. Well-aimed slingshots can topple giants."

Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. Carlisle Patriot Friday, April 9th, 1880 CHARGE OF PERSONATING LORD RAMSAY.—At the Liverpool Police Court, Robert RAMSAY, a middle-aged man, was charged with stealing a pair of marine glasses. A pawnbroker's assistant said that the prisoner gave the name of Lord RAMSAY.— Mr. RAFFLES: Do you believe him?—Well, I don't know.— Mr. RAFFLES: Your common sense should have told you he was not Lord RAMSAY. Lord RAMSAY is quite a young man; and besides you would not expect him to pawn his things. (Laughter.) When apprehended the prisoner, it was stated, had a pawn ticket with the name of "Lord RAMSAY" written on it.— When asked what he had to say the prisoner replied that his name was RAMSAY, and that he only put "Lord" before it. (Laughter.) "Lord RAMSAY" was a nickname they gave him. What he had done was through drink, and he was very sorry for it.— Mr. RAFFLES said drunkenness was no excuse for crime. He would deal with the case as one of illegal pledging. Prisoner must pay 7s and a fine of 40s and costs, or got to gaol for a month. -- Emily Smith

Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. Carlisle Patriot Friday, April 9th, 1880 TWO CHILDREN BURIED ALIVE.—As some children were playing in a sand hole near Pity Me, Durham, on Saturday, a grerat fall of sand took place, and two were completely buried. One was dead before it could be reached; the other is in a precarious state. -- Emily Smith

Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. Carlisle Patriot Friday, April 9th, 1880 CARLISLE QUARTER SESSIONS. THE ROBBERY OF BANK NOTES AT THE RED LION HOTEL. DANIEL BURNS, out on bail, was charged with receiving from James GREY four 50l Bank of England notes, the property of one Peter Grime, well knowing the same to have been stolen, at Carlisle, between the 16the December, 1879, and the 19 January, 1880.—Mr. MATTINSON appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. COTTINGHAM for the defence.—Mr. MATTINSON said that owing to the person absconding who was charged with stealing the notes, it would be impossible to go into a considerable portion of the evidence, or to prove that they were acting in concert. The only thing they could prove now was that the prisoner had been in possession of some of the notes about a month after they had been stolen.—In answer to the Deputy Recorder, Mr. MATTINSON added that he felt it would be impossible to prove a conviction against the prisoner.—The jury were then sworn, and the prisoner put upon his trial, when Mr. MATTINSON said: I shall call no evidence.—The DEPUTY RECORDER: There has been no evidence called, gentlemen, and it will be your duty to find the prisoner not guilty.—Verdict accordingly.—Mr. COTTINGHAM was about to speak to the prisoner's good character, when the RECORDER said: You will provoke me to say something. It is a very suspicious case.—The prisoner was then discharged. THEFT OF A COAT. PATRICK MURPHY, 41, labourer, imperfectly instructed, was charged with feloniously stealing one tweed coat, of the value of seven shillings, the property of Robert SMITH, of Carlisle, on the 11th February, 1880.—Mr. MATTINSON prosecuted, and the prisoner was undefended.—The learned councel briefly stated the case to the jury, which was of the simplest character. The coat was seen hanging in the house of the prosecutor, who lives in Bridge Street, Caldewgate, on the morning of the 11th February, and on the afternoon of the same day the prisoner sold the coat for 2s 6d to a clothes dealer named BARRETT, in East Tower Street.—Evidence having been called, and the coat produced, the jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. A SERIOUS CHARGE. PETER SIMPSON, chemist's assistant, out on bail, was charged with unlawfully administering a certain noxious drug, for an unlawful purpose, to one Jane ATKINSON, at Carlisle, on the 6th January, 1880.—Mr. MATTINSON prosecuted, and Mr. HENRY appeared for the prisoner.—From the evidence called, it appears that on the above day, the prosecutrix, Jane ATKINSON, who at that time was living as a domestic servant with Mrs. REED, in Portland Place, went to the chemist's shop of Mr. TAYLOR, with whom the prisoner was an assistant, and made a statement to the prisoner, who supplied her with some powders and other things, which a few days afterwards were seen by her mistress, and handed over to the Chief Constable.—The girl, in evidence, said that since January she had been a inmate of St. Mary's Home for Penitents.—Mrs. REED, the girl's former mistress, said the girl ATKINSON was neither truthful nor honest.—Mr. MATTINSON subsequently addressed the jury on the evidence, and was followed by Mr. HENRY, who, in a forcible speech, referred to the characters held by the prosecutrix, whom her termed "a lying prostitute," and the prisoner, and argued that the medicine was not a noxious drug, and that the prisoner did not supply it to produce that with which he was charged.—The DEPUTY RECORDER, in summing up, thought the girl's story a very unlikely one and uncorroborated.—The jury immediately found the prisoner not guilty, the verdict being received with applause. The Court rose shortly before one o'clock. -- Emily Smith

Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. Carlisle Patriot Friday, April 9th, 1880 MARRIED IN "A LUCID INTERVAL".—In the case of EARP v. RUMSEY, which was decided in the Probate and Divorce Division on Tuesday, the question was whether a husband was insane at the time of marriage. The learned president said that, from the evidence, he was of opinion that the marriage had taken place during "a lucid interval" of the husband's insanity, and he therefore ordered it to be annulled. -- Emily Smith
