POLICE Get CAR
BEFORE OWNER
KNOWS CONE:

Port Clinton police recovered a
stolen car here Wednesday morn
ing six hours before its Cleveland
owner discovered it was missing.
Officer William L. Keesor halted
a speeding 1948 ChrySler sedan on
Fremont Road at $50 am, and
booked its 25 year old driver,
whose name eventually was learn
ed to be Amos J. Collins, for speed
ing and having no operators Ii
cense.
Since the car had new Sc tags,
an immediate check of ownership
was impossible. Captain William
Robel, contracting Cleveland police,
learned Collins was on parole. At
10 am. Wednesday the Chrysler'S
owner notified Cleveland police his
car had been taken from list and
Carnegie sometime after 5 pm.
Tuesday, and learned it had al
ready been recovered in Port Clin-
ton.
Collins will be returned to Cleve-
land to face car theft charges after
he clears up affairs here. He first
gave police several other names.

/ automobiles. But there is nothing
bleak about their retirement Gus
toms. In fact, some sociologists
have suggested that they're way
ahead of the rest of us when
it comes to finding retirement
contentment.
When an Amish farmer and
his wife reach 70 or Whereabouts
it's customary for them to move
to a separate section of their
home, or to a small house near
by, known as "Grossdawdy's
House Then one of their sons
and his family move into the main
house and take over the farm
ing responsibilities. The retired
parents thus remain in familiar
surroundings and have their pri-
vacy, yet they r close to men,
bers of their family. More impor-
tant, there r still plenty of light
chores around the farm to keep
them happily occupied, such as
tending the animals, keeping the
grounds and buildings in order,
and assisting in the care of their
grandchildren. Perhaps the most
aspect of Amish retire
ment is the close relationship that
is maintained with the family
group. Large families are the
rule and children, who are taught
from the cradle to "honor thy
father and they mother" gener-
ally marry and settle down with
a few miles of their parents. !
The Sidney herald., 1956-11-22

Leisure time Is far more pleas
urable in small doses than in
large ones.
Few people have trouble en-
joying a two weeks vacation from
work. But when those same peo-
pie retire and find themselves
hip deep in leisure time that
stretches ahead for month on
end they soon find themselves
rejecting the sentiments of a re-
cent cartoon showing two old
timers sitting on a park bench.
The caption has the n remark
ing: These warm, sunny days
aren't so exciting when you're
not playing hooky from some
thingi"
Another reason for early plan
ming is the need to accumulate
the funds necessary for a lively,
exciting retirement. Unless we
begin planning our finances early
we're apt to arrive at retirement
with insufficient money to do all
the things, and take all the trav-
els, we've dreamed of enjoying
in our later years.
The Sidney herald., 1956-11-22

The close and affectionate ties
which the elders thus maintain
with their families, plus their
firm religious faith and the eco
nomic independence for which the
Amish r noted, breeds an en-
viable contentment.
It's a lot different for the rest
of us, particularly city jewellers.
When we retire we're apt to live
in a small house or apartment
that provides few chores to keep
us from fretting. Our chicks are
apt to have migrated far from
the family nest and we consider
ourselves lucky if we can bring
the flock together for an annual
reunion. It's thus doubly impor-
tant that we plan ahead and de-
velop stimulating leisure-time in
terests that will keep us happily
occupied when we retire.
Retirement Forum
Herbert S., Al, an accountant in
department store in Jackson
Vile, Fla, writes to ask "Why
IS it necessary to make early
plans for retirement"
Answer: It's necessary because
we're all creatures of habit. I'm
.ess we have developed the habit
If using leisure time in such a
way that it gives us pleasure,
ve'1l have real trouble keeping
,ur hands occupied and our minds
when we retire.
