To Start Work
BY BOB HANSON

The io-year fight by. District
public high school coaches for
extra-duty pay seemingly Is
nearing an end.
Approval Of the extra-pay
plan was given yesterday by
the District Commissioners. Jan
Jankowski. president Of the
High School Coaches Associa-
ton said today he feels there Is
a good possibility Of the plan
winning approval by Congress
before II adjourns this month.
but his optimism was not widely
shared.
At any rate, Jankowski gave
assurance In q statement that
the coaches would be on hand
August rs for football practice.
The plan embraces other
teachers who put in extra effort.
Under the setup, which would
cost an estimated SlA4. 900,
coaches would be asked to
forego outside employment.
Coaches Pleased
I'VE are happy with the way
things have turned out" jan
kowski said. There are some
legal angles to be worked out by
the Corporation Counsel before
the plan can be presented to
Congress. but we are hopeful
this can be done In time for
possible action this session."
The District appropriation
bill already has been signed
into law. The only other posi-
bility, apparently. is for a rider
on some pending legislation.
Action such as this would be
in order on District Day. next
Monday.
VIII Push Plan
The most plausible plan, 1t is
indicated. would provide con-
gressional action at the next
session in January with the bill
becoming effective in Septem-
Der, 1859. Should that be the
case, the coaches, according to
Jankowski, would want 1t to be
retroactive.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Plan Early for Retirement
BY DR.. PETER J sTEINcRoHN

Dear DIR. Steincrohn: I've
heard 80 many pros and cons
on what retirement does TO
a persons health and out
look. I'm In my late Sos and
am thinking seriously Of re-
firing. But I hesitate when I
hear all those stories that
early retirement Is life short
ening. Sincerely, NJ. V.
For many years ! have be-
lieved that early retirement
promotes better health and
longer life-proVided that the
retiree has prepared himself
for 1t many years before-pSy-
;hologically. physically and eco
nomically. II is probably true
that some thumb-twiddlers bore
themselves to an early grave
and that the economically I'M
prepared perhaps prematurely
worry themselves to death.
The answer is obvious: better
prepare for retirement early.
At a recent meeting OF the
Chronological Society. the fol-
lowing views were expressed by

nell University:

writing In Life Magazine and he
is a sound craftsman. II Is. OF

The best way 10 handle the
situation is to buy the book and

tain that II describes your

be discussed orally with the

fering wife who once intrigued
her husband into reading such
a book by saying: II thought
you were a bad drinker until ]

in that book. My. some OF them
make you look like a tee
totaler.'
Questions for Reader
In his book. Brean writes
brightly about the various
phases Of drinking and. near
the end. comes to a chapter
called IF You Are Going TO
Stop He opens this one by
asking the reader to skip It
unless he is serious about Quit
ting. In this one. the reader is
asked scores Of questions:
Do you sleep poorly? Do you
complain OF indigestion? Do
you worry about others detect
ing the smell of liquor on you?
Is a drink necessary to keep
you going? Do you eat well?
Do you have near-accidents in
your home? Does 1t pain you TO
know that your children know?
Do you suspect that your
friends suspect? Do you awaken
frightened? Do you miss APP
pointments?
One Of the reasons why the
true alcoholic talks about quit
ting, but doesn't do it, is that
he thinks Of abstinence as
giving up something" He feels |
that he is turning his back on
a pleasure. The opposite is true. |
He is gaining a whole new
wonderful world OF pleasures |
he has forgotten.
The alcoholics are a small |
minority in this country and,
