Due to the fact that the Parish

getting settled in its new home. the
MONDAY Luncheon Club will not
resume its meetings until Friday,
September 18th. Members are asked
to keep this date in reserve for the
club; an eXtra-Special meeting is
being planned for the first assembly
in the new location. President San
ders is planning to put the Lunch
con Club on higher member par
ticipation' basis during his admini,-
tration. The Luncheon Club is also
soliciting new members. If you are
one who has put off coming to the
Luncheon Club, make plans now to
be present at the Sept. 18th meet

minimum, the quality of the meals
is high. This invitation is extended
to the public in general and to men,

The YMCA wishes to announce
that with school days upon us again
the YMCA is not open to boys and
young men of school age during
school hours. This applies with equal
emphasis to those boys and young
men of school age who are to be
engaged in gainful employment dur

some mutual agreement made with
parents, employer, and the YMCA.
In the afternoon at 3:15 the YMCA

The young people cannot help but
see the unhappiness caused their
doting parents by the natural desire
for an independent and separate
home life OF their own. How much
more joyful for everyone if the old
er folks seek new adventures when
their children marry and let the
young marrieds be the ones to
settle. down! Another couple of my
acquaintance began, as soon as
their children were all gone from
home, to see this country from
Maine to California. They've ex-
plored nearly every state by now
and have pictures to prove it!
When they return from a jaunt a
big celebration awaits them-the
children and their families gather
for a reunion and to see pictures
and detailed account of Mother
and Dads latest trip. In this way
the "old folks" are a stimulating
element in the family during the
years their children are tied down
raising families of their own.
The thing to keep in mind is this:
if for Is years you get all of your
satisfaction from business or keep
ing house or raising your children
it isn't easy to find new outlets
when these no longer count. So
keep up your music or dancing or
painting-your carpentry, golf or
Observation-Disclosures gives you
a glow Of accomplishment Then
when your well-earned leisure be-
comes reality, these satisfactions
will be ready for you to turn to.
Scarcely anyone grows old these
days, so who knows, you may
still have time to make a new
career for yourself!
