FAMOUS FABLES

CREDIT: During the early
days. Novelist Thorne Smith
author of Topper" found il
a struggle to make ends meet
Every now and then, when his
funds ran out. he would carry
the books in his library down
to the local book store and
borrow money on them. Then
when he sold a story, he would
redeem the volumes and carry
them back to his room.
This had gone on for some
time when one of Smiths nov
els clicked. Overnight, he be-
came a literary figure. Despite
his increased earnings, however
he still ran short periodically
and had to borrow as before
But his newly acquired stand
ing earned him one concession
The bookseller spared him the
back-breaking task of carrying
the books forth and back.
DEFEAT: A few months after
his marriage, Calvin Coolidge
ran for the Office of school
committeeman, and was over
whelmed by his Democratic
opponent.
Although there was no pay
attached to the Office. Coolidge
felt the defeat keenly.
Don't take it to heart" con-
soled a Republican neighbor
1T was nothing personal. 1t
was just that the voters felt
the post should be occupied by
a man who had children of
school age"
Well, they might have given
me time" was Coolidge's tart
reply.

THE GOLDEN YEARS
BY THOMAS COLLINS

Here is the case history of a
man who thinks he doesn't
have enough money to retire
on.
His name is Clark. He is
66 and is still holding his COB
a year beyond his company's
normal retirement date. He
probably can hold it for two
more years or so.
Mrs. Clark wants him to re-
tire. and when he does she
wants two things: to travel
around the country for a while
and to trade their old house in
for a small. neat new one. Mr..
Clark says he can't risk giving
up his salary, and even if he
did they would have to hoard
everything they get as a safe
guard against old age.
This, if he retired tomorrow,
is what he would get: a total
of $153 in social security for
the two of them. a company
pension that will pay him $50
a month as long as he lives but
provides nothing for a widow,
and interest on an investment
that averages $34 a month,
That all totals $269.
This is what he and his wife
own: an old house they prob
ably could sell for $4,000 net,
a 1854 car. $4,000 in savings
bonds, and the investment cited
above which. since it's paying
S34 a month. must be worth
about $4,000.
Can they retire with safety?
No Safe Retirement
The answer. of course. is no,
And that's the place for the
Clarks to start as they try to
make up their minds. You can't
retire with safety on any
amount of money. ever.
But the Clarks should realize
they can't work with safety
either. Or even get out Of bed
with safety in the morning,
They could have been paralyzed
in a car wreck last year. or had
a $4,000 surgery bill in 1858.
You have to take your chance
on reasonable odds. The Clarks
odds are better than reasonable

THE GOLDEN YEARS 3
How Much Is Needed
For Retirement Doys?

Owning their h home, the
Clarks can live well on their
1859 a month. They could get
by on $3.50. But If Mr.. Clark
dies, Mrs. Clark will have only
three-fourths of Mr.. Clark's
$102 a month social security.
or SIS a month. The invest
ment would add $34 for a total
of $110. That's not enough.
So if Mr.. Clark would make
arrangements at his company
for $40 a month of his pension
to be paid to his widow until
she dies, she would be assured
a total of $3.50 and be reason
ably safe.
Now for Mrs. Clark's travel
ing. If they took 81. 500 of their
savings bonds - why save it?
You caHt see the world from
a cemetery-they could live lin
luxury on the road for two
months.
Buy Retirement Home
And the small neat house.
The Clarks have no business
taking on another mortgage.
But in Arizona, California and
Florida there are some charm
ing retirement homes for $10.-
900 or so. This would leave $4,-
900 from the sale of the old
house. Invested at 4i2 per cent
it would mean SIS a month
more income.
With Mrs. Clark's future
provided for, Mr.. Clark has no
need to maintain a life insur-
ance policy beyond the cost Of
his funeral and some cleanup
expenses. He should get hos
pitalization and surgery insur-
ance for the two Of them. He
can afford it. He can't afford
not to afford It.
With $4,000, plus $4,000 from
the old house, plus $4,000 in
a new house. plus $1,000 still
in savings bonds. the Clarks
would be wealthy people. They
should visit a lawyer. make a
will. put their cares in the
washing machine. and go have
some Golden Years.

Freda S.-My husband and I
have been seriously feuding
over a social question which
bothers us very much.
MY dearest and oldest friend
is married to a very eccentric
man. He has decided opinions
on almost every subject in the
world and is ready to fight for
them. Every time we all get
together there is a terrific
argument. Last time he prac-
tically threw us. out of his
home.
Naturally i expected my
friend to call up and apologize
the next day, but she didn't.
I feel she was just too morti-
fed. / want to show her that
we bear no Ill will to either
her or her husband and I want
to call her and continue being
friends.
James S.-Freda has refused
to look the truth in the face
for years. This is not a case of
a nice woman being married to
a nut. This friend of Freda's is
just as bad as her husband,
and ! can't see Freda making
a fool of herself in front of
this woman.
The husband in the case has
insulted us dozens of times and
his wife has never said a word
to soften things or apologize.
She has never sought Freda's
friendship. but just conde-
sends to see her if Freda keeps
after her long enough.
I can't understand why Freda
is so sentimental about this old
school chum. When I tell her
to see her friend woman-to-
woman over tea or something,
Freda admits that they have
nothing to talk about.

If Freda wishes to make q

Is a delightful sport. Unfor-
tunately, everybody can't go
In for it. Marked obesity is a

chronic ear disease and many
other conditions.
The chief obstacle in skin
diving is the ability, or in
ability, of the body to ac-
commodate to the new en-
vironment caused by increased
pressure. For example at 80
below the surface the normal
atmosphere pressure is doubled ;
and at 66 feet it triples.
The diver must plan to avoid

know that heavy exercise in

needs. Yet, some persons can't

Coltart.
Mr.. Coltart, who is IS, farms
1900 acres up here at Moro.
He's been doing it for 43 years.
His farm is lush and we'll cul-
tivated. his house neat and
comfortable. 1t wasn't always
that way and it wasn't easy to
make it so.
Mr.. Coltart, who has pale
blue eyes and receding white
hair. is half deaf. He got that
way by spending World War
chasing the brilliant German
strategist, Won Lettow, around
Tanganyika.
Had Acres in Flax
When he got back to his
farm. which nestles 100 feet
above sea level here on the
north wall of the Rift Valley,
his partner had the whole place
sown in fax, which was good
thing because fax then was
selling for $500 a ton. In 1928,
the Russians dumped fax onto
the European market and the
price fell to 5000 a ton.
1--WE couldn't even look at a
field of fax much less harvest
it for that price," Mr.. Coltart
recalls. He was broke for the
1rst time. 1t wasn't to be the
last.
The same year. Kenya's cur
rency was converted from
rupees to silillings. Mr.. Coltart,
who had borrowed $4,000 to
buy his farm, woke up to find
that, after conversion. his debt
had miraculously grown to
$4,000.
He hung on somehow. His
partner quit. Mr.. Coltart, who
had studied architecture as a
student in Scotland, built
"Cantie Ha" Cheerful HALL /,

Slowly. by hard work and sac

to start a herd of cattle and re-
duce his bank overdraft a little.
Then Came Depression
In the years 1930-33. the roof
fell in. First came the world
wide depression, then, for three
years in a row. great hordes of
locusts settled on Kenya's
farms. Mr.. Coltart, like many
other Kenya farmers, was
wiped out.
He lived on cornmeal and
antelope which he and his ma
tive farm hands killed with
sticks because they couldn't af-
ford ammunition. Slowly he
got "Cantie Ha" back on its
feet.
Times got better. In addi-
ton to running his own farm,
he took over the management
OF a larger neighboring place
and used his salary for capital
improvements on his own place.

Amory Of the new Maxwell

and I must say that eithre he
is hitting her below the belt or
her trunks are sagging.
Miss Maxwell. like Fort
Knox, needs no apologists. She
is a pilot fish for the big sharks
and, in her field. she is alone.
She entertains the rich and the

is entertained. Where some
people drop names, Miss Max
well drops countries. She is
bright, witty and insulting.
Often, when I read that she is
making some far-off prince
laugh through the lips and pay
through the nose, I wish that
she had been born rich enough
to ride her own bicycle.
However. this does not ex-
cuse Mr. Amory. He is a
writer. A good writer. He did
a fine job on THE Proper

finished the Duchess of Wind

per Sc, a good book critic. No
more so, let us say. than a
good lawyer is, without addi-
tional qualifications, a good
Judge. Or that a good drunk
is automatically a good bar
tender.
Free Wheeling Review
Writing in the New York
Times Book Review, Mr.. Amory
thinks otherwise Webster's die
tionary says that a critic is zone
skilled in judging the merits of
literary or artistic works. "
There is nothing in this par
ticular definition about judging
the authors private life or even
asking the critic to state his
opinion about the authors
character.
The critic, quite properly,
reads the book, tries manfully
to stifle the feeling that he
could have written it better,
and writes an assessment of the
content and the handling of
the content by the author. That
is all.
