Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have long wished to express
myself on your column: Curb
Motor Speeders." I used to
drive a car. But for a number
Of years, since the speeding
motoriSt has come on the
scene, the pleasure Of a Sun
day afternoon recreational
drive has been a thing Of the
past.
Pertaining to children we
say: PUT the matches out Of
their reach, as well as medi-
cineS and knives, etc. Because
they do not know when and
how to use them. Don't give
them something which is po-
tentially harmful and expect
them not to get into trouble"
Likewise, why give imma-
ture motorists something
harmful and expect them not
to hurt-and get hurt? I can
see no safe way to keep using
what they have available, ex-
cept to reduce the availability
Of speed. The people who
manufacture and put into
motor vehicles this power of
destruction are, in the deep
est sense, more responsible
than anyone else.
I have a suggestion: In q
Presidential election year
place this question on the
ballot: what speed do you
think should be the limit for
safety. in driving?" Get the
Nations opinion. The manu-
facturerS will do the rest.

THE GOLDEN YEARS
65 and What to Do?
That Depends on You

look in the attic and locate
one of yours? Your youth was
full Of dream jobs.
AS for unemployment, it is
difacult. But there's a trick
to it, and the trick is not to
be jobless. Seek the new job
before you're retired from the
old one. Not after. Most peo-
pie who have post-retirement
jobs began lining the jobs up
two to three years before the
pension came with an al.
lied business, the same BUSH
ness in a smaller town, or
sometimes with a competitor.
A business Of your own isn't
hopeless. Any large public Ii
brary can supply you books
detailing small businesses
that have been started for
5000 or so. The United States
Department of Commerce,
Washington, IS, D. c., can
supply you literature on a
hundred businesses you can
start at home. Write and see.
You need some Imagination
for almost anything you start
after retirement. You must
also be brash enough to try
things.

he wasn't embarrassed = to

found a good life.
HE RETIRED TO a small
town in central Missouri, set
up a woodworking shop in
his garage, and in the course
of events was called on one
day to make a beehive for
a farmer who delivered vege-
tables to the house.
It gave him an idea. He
began making hives for him.

pleted one he drove out in

farmer into letting him place
the hive in a remote corner

bees for their value in pol

This man, who had been
nothing but a retailer all his

honey. He's having a fine

THE GOLDEN YEARS
BY THOMAS COLLINS


II am having difficulty
trying to determine what I'll
do after my retirement next
January.
81 agree with the experts
that I should do something
beyond sitting. But, pray tell
me what! A retired man or
woman can't get a job except
in unusual circumstances.
Most of us don't have the
money to start businesses of
our own. And If we did we
would have too little courage
or too much sense to risk it
in such an adventure.
Apart from a commercial
occupation there is little you
can expect because our society
is designed for work, not leis-
ure. A person can offer his
services to civic causes, but
my observation is that older
people get little satisfaction
from these things, and in
fact get very little to do.
Younger people or paid peo-
pie run those shows, and are
frequently jealous of what
they have.
II HAVE BEEN inclined
to sheer at retired people
who sit around idle or take
UP hobbies or go of on
idiotic trips. But I won't any
more. I believe that's all
there is for them to do"

but couldn't because you had
to hold a job that would

dream pursuit you would lay

ment, then dive in with zeSt

Many people don't have
any dream pursuits by re-
tirement time-they lost Them

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

PERSUASION: When Com
medicine Fanny Brice showed
UP for rehearsal after sign
ing her first contract with
Florenz ziegfeld, she found
herself lost in the crush of
stars. ziegfeld, busy with the
big headlinerS in his show,
had no time for her.
For several days she sat
around. doing nothing. Then
she got up her courage and
said to ziegfeld:
Aren't you going to let me
sing"
Sure, Fanny, of course"
said Ziegfeld abSently. Get
the song writer's to write
something for you"
Fanny realized that she,
an unknown, could not make
such a request outright. 1t
would be like asking Beet
hoven to write jingleS. She
had noticed that the two song
writer's liked to eat; they
were always nibbling on
something.
She called her mother, who
was the best cook in her
neighborhood and told her
to prepare a sumptuous din
ner. Then she invited the
song writer's to her house for
a home-cooked meal.
She piled them with food
until they were stuffed. Then,
dragging them over to the
piano, she asked them to
write a song for her. They
did, and it was the hit of the
show.

The Scale

Throughout these United

and their accuracy doubted.
People who keep gaining in

than point an accusing finger

however, they try to face up
to it.

THE CASE or
THE TALKING CARDS
Nv DONALD ]. SOBOL

by DONALD J. SOBOL
jackson held his usual
Friday poker party last night.
He won all the money-niore
than $1,000" said Inspector
Winters.
"The game broke up about
3 this morning. jackson was
shot an hour or two later.
We searched the apartment
without locating the win
nings. It looks like one Of
his friends couldn't afford to
lose so heavily and came back.
IF that theory is sound,
there are five suspects, the
men who played last night
Judge Alfred Vance, Gordon
Morehead, Patrick Seaman,
Tim Regain, and william
Rice.
II spoke with the judge by
telephone. He said everyone
lost about an equal sum to
Jackson. All five are bache-
lors, live by themselves, and
might have come and gone
unnoticed."
"Nothing's been touched?"
asked Haledjian.
"No," replied the inspector.

older. So far we are just
friends. We both go out
with others. However, I do
think / like Peter best. He
has suggested marriage, but
he said it would be many
years before he would be able
to marry.
When we go out together
we always go Dutch. Peters
folks have barely enough to
see him through school. He
picks UP some money at odd
jobs, but needs it for books
and clothing. / think it's only
right that I should pay my
own way.
My mother is very conven-
tional and objects to this. She
thinks a man doesn't respect
you If you make things too
easy for him. I think her at
titude is just awful.
Mrs. l.. RI think going
out Dutch is all right for very
young teen-agerS, but by the
time a man and woman are
old enough to marry, the man
should take over his proper
role.
I know for a fact Peter
takes advantage Of Barbara'S
good nature. / have heard
that when he goes out with
other girls he does treat
them. I have a feeling that
when he is short Of money
he goes out with Barbara be-
cause she pays her own way.
! also suspect Barbara has
lent him some money.
It annoys me that Barbara
seems always ready to make
a doormat Of herself for GER
tain boys who don't appre-
ciate her. The ones who treat
her well and show her every
consideration can't make any
Roadway with her.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We think the Dutch treat
is a fine institution under the
right circumstances. But It
appears that, in this case,
Mrs. L. r. has a few valid
objections. She is not taking
a purely conventional" point
Of view.
However, Mrs. L. r. may
misinterpret Barbara'S atti-
tudes. Far from making a
"doormat" of herself, Bar
bara appears to be trying to
assert her power by taking
more upon herself than is
customary in a man-woman
relationship.
The reasons for her doing
this may be somewhat COM
pick. Barbara may find it
worth her while to think
about it a bit before she be-
comes seriously involved in
any relationship with a man.
A woman with Barbara s
inclinationS might easily wind
up with a man who is quite
dependent upon her. She
may like this at first, but in
time she could come to re-
sent it, or an unpleasant
rivalry might develop be-
tween her and her husband.
We think Barbara ought
to try to concentrate her
attention on some work or
skill as a means to the power
she seeks. This will give her
more confidence in herself
and she will be less bent on
getting power over human
beings. Then she will he

OF men who are as interested
in giving as they are in re-
ceiving.
