Retirement Blues

Retirement Blues
Sam r. Tedders, 68, runs {
bookshop in upstate New York
He's a retired textile salesman
who has settled into what he ano
his wife feel is the ideal life in
retirement. Here's his story:
AT IS he shook hands with the
President of his firm, received a
set of luggage for his AZ years
of service, and began drawing a
pension of $500 a month. Car
ried away by their new freedom
the Tedders hoped in their
automobile and took off on an
extensive jaunt through Canada
and on out to the West Coast.
After two months on the road
Sam and his wife wouldn't have
stayed away from home another
week for all the gold in Fl.
Knox. 1t wasn't that they didn't
enjoy the trip. 1t was just that
eight weeks of travel is a pretty
big dose for a couple who are
accustomed to staying close to
home.
When they got back to Elm
Street it was just a matter of
time until the retirement blues
hit Sam. He resented seeing his
younger friends going to work,
and he began feeling sorry for
himself. Sam and his wife were
lucky in one respect. They loved
reading, and their house was full
of good books. But Sam found
that books didn't keep him from
wishing he were back at work.
How did he solve his problem?
Well, he happened to see a notice
in the paper about a small book
shop six blocks from his home
that was up for sale. why not"
he asked himself. When he
preached the subject to the mis-
sus he was pleased to hear her
echo, Why not!"
Well. they bought the bookshop
for $4,000 - including the pres
ent stock, equipment, goodwill,
and the lease. 1t took most of
their nest egg, but they figured
that with their pension and a
nome of their own they didn't
need to sit on their nest egg
any longer. If they really got in
/ pinch they could always sell
he shop and recoup at least part
# their investment. They talked
he seller into staying on for I
hree months to help them get !:

Not many years ago a system
of music and advertising was in
naugurated or BUSES in severa
cities. Almost Immediately roars
of indignant protest from paSSen-
gers defeated the plan. Captive

over and over - individuals said
they did not want advertising

when they could not control it,
These same captive audiences"
do not seem to mind being as
saulted on all sides every time
they get into their automobile.
Here the only difference is an of
tense to the eyes instead of the

Outdoor advertising has become
a big business over the past dec
ade, taking advantage of the ever
increasing road travel. Huge bill
boards demand attention for their
products, often so close together
the helpless motorist cannot see
drought the binding maze
Oregon's Senator Richard Neu-
berger has long felt this is a
threat to driving safety as well
as an insult to anyone who en-
joys natural untouched beauty.
He has recently introduced a bill
into the u. S. Senate in connec-
ton with President Eisenhower's
multi-highway system. Senator
Neuberger's bill calls for control
of certain advertising on fed
orally owned or controlled land
adjacent to the National System
of Interstate and Defense High
ways, and to encourage such con-
troll on other lands adjacent to
such National System"
In essence, the bill calls for
strict control over all signs with
500 feet of the right-of-way,
naturally excepting directional
Information, and signs in COM
nercial areas advertising a bust

would be encouraged to

Opening lead: Diamond queen.
My recommendation is that
when you have a singleton in
partners suit and must respond
in no-trump, deduct one point
from your high-card count.
When you have a void, subtract
two points for any no-trump
response.
Counting his hand in this
manner, Mr.. Fusty would have
deducted two points. leaving
him only four high-card points
not enough for a response of
any kind. But he wanted to
show" his six points and give
Mr.. Champion a chance to bid
some other suit. Miss Brash
inserted a dangerous double
which, as usual, turned out to
her advantage. Mr.. Champion
made a natural rebid in spades
and caught a prompt double on
his left. When the smoke
cleared away he had lost three
spades, a heart. two diamonds
and a club for a 500-point set.
Mr.. Champions remarks con-
corning his partners bidding
were not complimentary. Pr
ously, Mr.. Fusty called atten-
ton to the fact that he had six

Mr.. Champion was right.
When you keep the bidding

truth. Dogs, for example, are not
happier running loose than kept
in a yard, where they can get
proper exercise and where they
can be with the family most OF
the time. On the contrary, dogs
which run loose are often killed
in the highway by an automobile,
get in fights with other dogs,
which sometimes kill them, and
which often leave them marked
or SCARED, and generally fail to
develop the qualities of a we'll
cared for, kept-at-home dog.
Much of what applies TO dogs
above, also applies to cats. There
fore, those who have a proper
place for their pets and who
keep them from running loose
which often results in annoyance
to others - are both providing
the best care for their animals
and the best life for them. And
these make the best pets be-
cause they develop those qualities
which make for an ideal COM
panion.

TAKE YOUR POLIO SHOTS

Adults are reminded that the
polio season is at hand and that
all those under forty should take
advantage of polio NEGOTIATIONS
which are now available in most
parts of the country.
Authorities say that two shots
will provide relative immunity
against polio and there is still
time for many adults to take the
two shots. Several weeks must
elapse after the first shot before
taking the second, but adults can
still get in both the shots before
the peak of the polio season ar
rives.
While there was much contro-
versy about polio serum when 1t
was first introduced, it seems TO
be generally agreed now that the
wise thing to do is to be immu-
nized. No furry of adverse re-
actions has occurred in some
time, and the serum has been
generally accepted and is in wide
spread use. Therefore, we suggest
to those under forty that they
seriously consider taking the first
two polio shots in the very neal
future.

stimulate the minds and bodies OF
today's youth. He also believes
that parents who neglect their
children and who do not super
wise their activities properly, and
who are therefore responsible for
vandalism and crime committed
by their children, should be held
responsible in the courts for their
misbehavior.
We agree that the placing of
responsibility Squarely on the
shoulders of parents would do
much toward curbing the recent
trend in juvenile crime.
Hoover is not pessimistic about
meeting the problem we face in
America concerning juvenile de-
linquency. However, he recog-
nizes the problem as a serious one
and thinks it is time for the av-
erage citizen in America to start
doing something about it.
Every community should sur
vey its youth program as e
lated to the community'S youth.
Every adult in the community has
the same responsibility to e to
it that their young people are
given every advantage of proper
guidance, supervision and train
ing.

87.430 NEW
FARM PONDS

The Department of Agriculture
reveals that u. S. farmers built
87,430 new ponds in 1856. The
total is a record for any one
year.
Also encouraging is the report
from the Department of Agricul-
ture that 800 900 ponds have
been built with technical assis-
lance from the Soil Conservation
Service since that service was
first offered. The average size of
these ponds is from one to two
acres each.
Americans interested in conser-
walton and in other farm man
agement fields will find this
news highly encouraging. Most
of these small ponds yer devel-
oped to aid in soil conservation,
to supply water for livestock, for
fire protection, irrigation, for fish
management and the improve
ment of wild life habitats.
The States which have taken
great advantage of the Soil Con-
servation Services aid in this
category are Kentucky, where
81, 318 ponds have been built; and
Mississippi, with 56,187 ponds,
among many others.
The Soil Conservation Service
says that most of the ponds have
been built in the Southeast, the
and in the Midwest.

LIVING TO $50

DR.. Edward l.. BortZ, former
president of the American Medi-
cal Association, recently said he
believed man will reach a period
in which his life span will range
from 125 to $50 years.
DR.. Bortz says that the science
of medicine is on the V of
making great progress and that a
Fantastic future" is ahead, in
which the barriers to healthy
aging will be largely overcome.
Many of the present problems of
tissue death, he says, will be
solved.
We wonder if the doctor is
right. Although the progress be-
ing made by medicine is impress
sive, we are also stepping up the
pace of life and r experiencing
increasing numbers of deaths
from such causes a. heart attacks.
In other words, the pace of mod
ern life is somewhat offsetting
progress which is otherwise be-
ing made in extending the aver
age life span in the United States,
at least.
With the age of the atomic
bomb upon US, we also wonder
what will happen to u average
life span if we become involved
in atomic wars - which the ex-
perts estimate will kill citizens
by the millions. A recent estimate
by military experts indicated that
he Russians by 1860 will have
he potential to kill between fifty
and eighty million Americans in
/ short war. And this does not
include the number of persons
who would be injured or incapac-
tated in such attacks.
In other words, mans progress
n his fight to extend the life
span is directly dependent upon
preventing atomic var DR..
.ortz's optimism is based upon
he theory, of course, that this
country will not become involved
n an atomic war. The future he
,utlines, and the alternative as
utlined by the military experts,
make it clear to every
linking citizen in the world, in
luding Russia, that the use OF
tonic weapons should not be
ontemplated by the armed SER
ices of any country - except IN
retaliatory situation.
