You clearly are not the attorney in the family! "Plagarism" and
"copyright" (note spelling) are effectively the same thing.
The extension of copyright came in the 1980's and is of some legal question
as to whether this affects older works.
But, if it were me, I'd be really leery of reproducing something printed in
the 1960's without the written permission of the copyright holder.
