to do when the long empty days
stretch ahead?
The opportunity for work is the
most powerful incentive t<
healthy living that we know. Use.
fulness is q tonic to body and soul
Without work, without the feelint
of usefulness and purpose in one'
days life is not worth while. Thai
is why retired people die soon az
