Luncheon Cl
Fifteen years ago, five men
sat down in the Knights of
Columbus cafeteria, ate
lunch and discussed current
events, It was to be the start
of a habit which has endured
until the present, and has
spread to approximately 200
Catholic men.
For the men who dined togeth
er, although they did not know it
at the time, were the founders of
what is now a flourishing organi
zation—the Catholic Men's Lunch
eon Club.
“We ju.M grew," explains Ter
rence J. Ixirenz. secretary of the
club, in describing the organiza
tion's origin. The same group of
men (their identities aren't cer
tain) in the first years agreed tn
meet once a month on a certain
date. After four or five years,
they decided that perhaps more
Catholic men would like to do
the same thing.
It w»i not long until tho
group bogan to moot tho first
Friday of every month in tho
Virginia Hotol. By this time
thoir objectives hod bocomo
quite clear: as Catholic busi
nessmen, thoy would meet to
discuss topics of common inter
est, they would attempt to fur
ther their religious education
by discussion and by hearing
various speakers, and they
would assist in tho spread of
Catholic principles and ideals.
Although these aims were fuh
filled from the beginning, there
was still room for improvement.
Thus, about four years ago. the
group dropped its original name,
the Catholic Business Men's
Luncheon Cli^b. and invited Ca
tholic men of all occupations.
Doctors, lawyers, architects,
Choplets are a

Michael McGee of St Gabriel parish, at right, president of the
Catholic Men's Luncheon Club, plans a program for the new year
with Walter Burkley, of St. Agatha parish, past president and
chairman of the board. The organization, which observes its 15th
anniversary this year, has as its objective to further the religious
education of the members through discussion and by hearing
various speakers from different fields.
salesmen and engineers began
reserving an open date on their
calendars, so they could attend
the luncheon.
Probably one of the factors in
the group's success is the impos
ing list of well-known persons
who have volunteered their serv
ices as guest speakers. Among
them are Bishop Ready George
Arnold, Civil Defense Director
George Doyle, former city safety
director Father Bennett Apple
gate, superintendent of diocesan
schools Harold Cooper, general
manager of the Columbus Jets
Mrs. Alexander Glockner. a na
tional director of the NCCW and
Father John Staunton, executive
secretary of the Ohio Catholic
Welfare Conference.
In addition to discussion, the
men’s group has initiated pro
jects to spread the faith.
The most recent one is a voca
tional guidance program under
which members visit high schools
and explain their occupations.
Michael McGee, president, is
chairman of this particular com
mittee.

many pursuits you are only

President Ei'-enhowcr on num
emus occasion has deplored the
evils of thi- arbitrary discrimin
ation against old-’r workers and
has called upon industry to re
examine its employment policies
Hp and other informed persons
have pointed out that cutting off
of employment opportunitie*. to
the 45 y-’ar old workers not only
is disastrous to them, hut results
in tremendous waste tn the na
tion as a whole
Lack of Lagillation
And yet there is no federal
legislation protecting the old
pi
workers from discrimination
in hiring Wp believe that only
one state. Massachusetts, has
actually passed a law forbid
ding discrimination because of
agp. In the Massachusetts law
(which likely will serve as a
pattern for other Mate legisla
tion) any employment limita
tmn on the ground nf age, un
less based upon a bona fide oc
cupational qualification, is pro
hibited.
This is most beneficial legis
lation and has protected many
persons. Unfortunately, as with
much legislation, it has severe
limitations.
Real Reason Concealed
What can an older worker,
protected by legislation, do when
he believes that he is being dis
criminated against?
If th’ applicant is applying
for a job for which his skills are
readily measurable, the com
pany likely can he forced to em
ploy him. If he is nnc of a num
ber of employes doing similar
work, he may fit into the organi
zation without too much trouble
in spite of his more or less forc
ed employment.
The applicant whose potential
value to the company is less
easily measured such as an
executive salesman may have
much more serious trouble in
proving that he was discrimin
ated against because of age.
Basad on Misconceptions
Numerous studies have shown
that the discrimination against
the older workers is not support
ecF hv real weakness in the capa
bilities of those workers to sat
isfy the requirements of jobs to
which their skills can be applied
They arc rather based upon mis
conceptions by employers and by
conditions imposed upon them
by factors not altogether under
their control, such as insurance
costs.
Studies Show Otherwise
Much of the claims is refuted
by a study made at the Univer
sity of Illinois pertaining to work
ers over fid—an age far in ad
vance of that at which discrim
ination begins. The study cover
ing 3.000 workers in retailing,
office, managerial and manufac
turing occupations, showed that
by comparison with younger
workers the older workers gen

well as quality, and got along
better with others.
These figures are generally
confirmed by '■tudit made by
Ihr Nalionni A'- ociatinn of M^ri
utacturer*-. th’ Bureau of Em
ployment Security, the Bureau of
1-abor Statistics various indus
trial firms and other agencies.
More and more with the growth
of automation and the diminu
tion of required physical effort,

advantage. demand- ar-1 being

on those qualties associated with
maturity. They are deperidabr

breadth of experience—areas in
which the older worker scored r,
highly in the Illinois study,
l.’nfortunately a paradoxical
situation exists where beneficial
movements designed to help old
er workers are backfiring be
blocking their hiring opportuni
ties. Notable among these are
pension and insurance plans
When employers are polled nn
why they hesitate to hire oldei
workers, the commonest reas-on
gi\en is that older workers are
not as good with respect tn uoik
performance. The second most
commonly ascribed reason is th'
higher pension and insurance
costs for older workers Studies
as noted above- show that in
the majority of jobs inferiority
of work performance is not nec
essarily inherent in advancing
years. There ha\e been argu
ments without end as 1o whether
pension costs are a real deter
rent or merely an excuse
I nder the provisions of public
social security, an ovei 45 year
old worker can acquire retire
ment benefits with no added
costs to a firm However, under
some private company plans a
pension may only he given the
older worker at extra cost to the
employer compared with that in
volved for younger persons.
Summarized, we may say that
employers have a moral respon
sibility to employ older workers.
In Massachusetts, and perhaps
soon in other areas, this respon
sihilily is backed by law that there
shall he no discrimination Hv
ever, real success in employment
of older workers will only come
when the employer recognizes
that if is good self-interest for
him to hire them Then, and only
then, will we be really able to
utilize to the nation's benefit
as a whole this valuable econom
ic resource: our mature worker.
