SECURITY FOR YOU
Retirement Requires

Almost every company has one.
The bulk of the companies flx

10 and rigidly enforce it.
Second, he should have found
out much earlier about how much
the company pension plan would
pay him at IS. Then, If he felt
it wasn't going to be enough. he
could have started saving for
retirement.
Third, before he started spend.
ing money on an apartment in
his basement, he should have
talked to q real estate dealer or
someone else about the chances
of renting it. He probably would
have found out that he'd have
trouble, saved his money and,
perhaps. decided to get q smaller
house that wouldn't have cost
him so much to maintain.
OF course. he can still sell his
present house and probably find
one that meets his needs better.
But chances are he'll never re-
cover the money he spent in
building the basement apart.

Fourth, II he figured he'd need
q light job to make enough to
live on after retirement, he
should have started looking for
one long before he retired. Since
he'd made the mistake of not
finding out when he'd have to
retire, he foreclosed this posi-
bility. But, It's still the best
advice for people who want to
work some after they retire.

THE PROBLEM

Mrs. X. G.-Jane should 60
back and settle things.
Jane G.-1 can't throw myself
at a man.
THE DETAILS
Mrs. X. G.-My 26-year-old
daughter is very unhappy be-
cause Of a summer romance that
never got on the ground.
Jane met Stan while on vaca-
ton in another State, quite far
from US. She was staying with
friends and ran into Stan dur
ing the last few days of her visit,
so they could not get to know
one another well. They hit 1t of
wonderfully, however, and they
even talked Of love and marriage
and said they would see one an
other again very soon.
They have been corresponding
all winter and Jane continually
moons over Stan and says she
can't flnd anyone else she really
enjoys being with. She has had
quite lonely year. / told her to
invite him to our home for the
holidays, but he wasn't able to
come.
say she should 60 back this
year and settle things but these
friends have not invited her. 1
see no objection to her going and
stopping at a hotel but she says
1t wouldn't look right.
Jane G.-My mother doesn't
seem to see anything wrong with
throwing yourself at a man, but
I Just can't be that way. II
those friends had invited me, it
would be different, but this way
it's obvious that I've come back
just for Stan. What will he
think Of me? And then suppose
nothing happens. After all, I
have feelings.
Stan keeps talking about how
wonderful it was to be with
me and how much he wants to
see me again. but it just doesn't
seem that we can get together.
think my mothers invitation
to our home for the holidays may
have scared him on. My mother

tied into anything. Yet I know

Nv RAY HENRY

This is a story of one mans
struggle with retirement. 1t only
has q beginning and a moral.
The struggle began about q
year ago. Here is how the man
tells it:
zone day the boss called me
into his office. He said I'd just
about reached IS and that it was
company policy to retire its
people at that age.
II told him / wasn't in shape
financially to stop working.
had planned to work one more
year as / had gone to the ex.
pense Of fixing up an apartment
to rent. I knew I couldn't live
very well on my pension and
Social Security alone.
HE put the pressure on me
I had no choice. So, I retired.
Then, ! discovered that my
pension wouldn't be as large q:
! figured. AS soon as ! got ovel
this shock, ] started looking fol
q light job to help pay for the
groceries. / still haven't founc
one.
"I've advertised the apartment
but nobody seems to want it.
II tell you this not because
I'm feeling sorry for myself. I've
had q lot Of time to think about
my mistakes in planning. I'm
telling you in the hope that you
through my experience
help other people Prepare them
selves better for retirement and
escape the shocks I've had"
Maybe his story will help some
people. 1t certainly does IL
lustrate the wrong way to &C
into retirement and how import
ant planning retirement can be
The amazing thing. perhaps,
about the mans story is that his
problems seem to be quite com.

days.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Injections a Last Resort for Cordiocs
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: MY hus-
band recently died at the age Of
66. A couple Of weeks before.
he complained of a pain in his
chest. The doctor sent him to
the hospital for an electrocardio-
gram. Nothing showed UP. He
suffered for two weeks, day and
night, and couldn't eat anything
but soup-and even that hurt
him.
We called the doctor again
and he said we would have to
assume that he had heart trouble
even though the tracing was all
right. The doctor said that when
my husband got better he would
still have to take 1t easy.
A few nights later my husband
woke UP with pain. The doctor
came and gave him q shot-and
within five minutes my husband
was gone.
After he died the doctor told
our daughter that my father
must have had heart trouble for
years. What I would like to
know, DR.. Steincrohn, is this:
Was the shot that the doctor
gave him too much for his heart?
Could that have fastened his
death?
Sincerely, Mrs. L. d.

THE COUNCILS VIEWS

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Stan and Jane sound like per-
feet pen pals and are likely to
remain that way for the rest Of
their life unless one Of them
makes some decisive move.
1t is doubtful whether these
two young people really want
this romance to "get on the
ground" Through their corre-
spondence they have gotten the
illusion Of q courtship and po-
tential marriage without any of
the threatening entanglements.
Distance Is their chief attraction
for one another.
There is no point in Mrs.
K.G.'s pushing the matter any
further than her daughter wishes
to go, but she should give Jane
no sympathy or encouragement
in her incoming" 1t is obvious
that Jane can bring the matter
to some sort Of conclusion If she
really wants to.
If she doesn't, she should be
encouraged to find eligible young
men nearer home. She and Stan
could not possibly have got to
know one another well enough to
form a real friendship in the
short period they were together.
Jane should be little more
honest with herself. If she truly
cared for Stan, she would be less
concerned about her feelings in
the face Of a possible rejection.
1t Is not throwing yourself at a.
man" to show that you like him
and would like to get to know
him better. If that "scares him
on" he's better left to his bache-
Tor state.

DICKERT OPENS
CHURCH SUPPLY
STORE HERE

We spent an afternoon this week
with a real nice guy. / think you'll
enjoy hearing about. His name is
Larry Dickert. He's from N w
York, where he was in the
Church Supply business. AS of
July of this year, he has moved
himself, the business and his fam
lily down to our land of sunshine.
Larry Dickert has officially
opened his office at 216 ME End
Ave-, in Miami, call Southern
Choir Gown Company, and will
soon become a familiar face in our
neighborhoods. With the tremen-
dous selection of caps and gowns,
and the special personal service,
Mr.. Dickert is offering us thru
Southern Choir Gown Company,
it won't be necessary to send to
out-of-the-way places for our
gowns any longer. We now have
our own local dealer to service us.
Larry Dickert is young, mar
ried fellow in his late 2Vs. To best
describe him, he has a nice, warm,
friendly smile and a pleasing per-
sonality that seems to make every
one who meets like him You
will be hearing a lot more about
Mr.. Dickert on radio WMBM, and
reading more about him in his
ad on our church page.

Not a record by considerable
margin, but another amazing total
of 124 cases was listed for trial
Sept. 9 in the municipal court. 1t
was another one of those wide
open sessions which will no doubt
have the over-capacity crowd
talking about it for long time
to come.
Alarming was the case of Char
lie Lee Williams, 23-year-old
man of BIT NV 10th st. Williams
was charged with assault on Mrs.
Elaine White of 271 NV 10th st.
and with open profanity. The in
cident occurred about 7:30 last
Friday night at the corner of 10th
st. and 4th ave., according to Of
ficer Rudolph Brown, who was
one of the arresting officers. Of
ficer Jimmy Wilson also assisted
in the arrest.
Officer Brown told the court
that he was on duty directing
traffic at the corner of 4th and
10th where an auto serious had
occurred. Brown added that he
heard screams coming from the
opposite side and looking in that
direction he saw Williams bend
ing down and beating Mrs.
Whites head on the pavement.
Mrs. White was lying on the
street. Brown added that he and
officer Wilson went over and had
a difficult time in sulbduing Will
liams and placing him under ar
rest.
Mrs. White told the court that
Williams had called her a very
disparaging name, and when she
replied saying if she's such a
name, then his mother is the
same. Williams became peeved,
and knocked her down and beat
her head against the street. Mrs.
White added that Williams also
kicked her while she was down
on the ground.
In his defense, Williams said
Mrs. White low-rated his mother,
which made him very angry. Will
liams admitted knocking her down
but he denied kicking her. Will
hams also said that he found an
other man at Mrs. Whites home
sometime before the incident, but
denied that that had any bearing
on the incident. But just then,
Mrs. White chi1ned in and said
that Williams finding of the other
man at her home was really at
the bottom Of the whole thing, and
the cause Of his anger.
Mrs. White surprised the court
by admitting that she is the
mother of a 2-month old baby Of
which Williams is the father,
while at the same time she Is
married to another man, from
whom she has not been divorced.
But Mrs. White explained that she
and her husband have been sep
arated for sine time. Mrs. White
further stated that Williams does
very little to support the baby.
This was the second time that
Williams and Mrs. White have
been in the local court on SINH
lar case.
Following a warning to both,
Judge johnson found Williams
guilty on both charges and fined
him $3.50 or 60 days.
Among other cases heard and
disposed Of were the following:
Wilson G. Johnson, charged
with open profanity, fined SIS or
six days.
Clayton Hopkins, charged with
being drung and with carrying
concealed weapon (knife) fined
Sos or 26 days on the two charges.
Gilbert Jackson, charged with
carrying concealed weapon "a
knife) fined $50 or 20 days.
