sy ocrAvus ROY COHEN, JR.

after he's slept late few mornings, gone
fishing couple Of times, taken a trip or
two - and then suddenly wakes up one
morning wondering what he's going to do
with the rest of his life?
Some men can enjoy loafing. But many
Others grow restless; start worrying about
their health; perhaps crack up completely.
And the problem is growing more wide
spread as science continues to extend the
limits Of human life expectancy What to
do about it?
Well, there's neighbor Of ours. a former
customs officer who retired two years ago,
who's found the answer. His formula is a
simple one: Keep so busy helping other
people that you don't have time to fret
about yourself"
He has translated that philosophy into
action by adopting" our neiehborhood.
Want to build barbecue pit? He'll show
you how. Want some help cutting back
those runaway climbing roses? He's your

man. Want somebody to keep your garden
and lawn in shape while you're away on
vacation? He's delighted to do it.
6ut it isn't what he does - it's the
way he thinks. He gets real lift in being
able to help people, teaching them things
he's had lifetime to learn. He's the most
popular man in the community - and Ger
tainly the happiest.
I'm too busy to be bored. " he'll tell you
with grin. Which also means that he's
too busy thinking Of others to worry about
his own problems.

What will / do with myself now that
have retired?'
Every year millions of Americans seek
the answer to that deceptively simple ques-
ton. What, indeed, will man do with his
retirement years, so that lifetime Of drive
and purpose won't disintegrate into an old
age of aimless, veeetating existence?
What will happen to him emotionally.

Next Monduy Is Labor Dov

Monday, September 8 is Labor Day. 1t marks the third long
weekend of the four that are caendared for 1855.
On the next day, September 6, the public schools again one +ba;r
doors for new and returning pupils. Officially the summer vacation
has ended.
Previously, Decoration or Memorial Day and independence Day
had offered laborers the chance to be off from the daily task of bread
winning. And there still remains Christmas which falls N Sunday
but possibly will be celebrated on Monday.
May 3th is usually marked with relatives and friends decorating
the graves OF soldiers and those who have passed before us.
July 4h commentaries the successful. attempt of the founding
fathers to establish this great country of ours.
1t reamins for Labor Day to recognize the fruits of the laborer
VINO tolls, for the most part, eight hours a day, five days and often six
a week, to produce the necessities and luxures enjoyed everyday in
ones home.
One of their own, a Peter j. Mcguire, incidently a union nal
around 1882 thought it was time to recognize the laborers with a day
of their own.
Eventually, the first Monday of September was chosen for that
observance This gave the working man a chance to get out in the
country and see how his friend the farmer w "a doing
1t was the last time he, wife and children could be together in
an outing before little Mary and Junior would be hiking to the little
red school house.
So Labor Day really had a twofold meaning, each separate from the
other, because to each member of the family it means something
different.
No more pcncs, hikes, or trips to the old swimming hole, is what
the kiddies thought.
Mama knew that after getting the old man off there was still
the job to be looked forward to of getting the kids off to school.
Papa knew that with the advent of school his pocketbook would
be emptied for the next few months outfittng the kiddies 10 as to
keep them looking as good IS their playmates.
Without a doubt, by the time he could retain a couple bucks it
would start all over as Christmas is just around the corner.
No wonder there is a Labor Day for the "Old Man" must have at
least one day he can just relax and do what he wants to, before the
World Series begin.
It's a lot different just being off from the job on Monday than
when custom demands that his day be spent reverently observing the
Sabbath.
Consequently, Labor Day has a different significance for every
one. 1t doesn't matter whether that day herads the end of the sum-
mer vacation, the coming of fall, or the third long weekend of
the year, the important thing is it is a respite for the "Old Man" to en-
joy himself one day without having to put in eight or nine hours at a
job.
