THE GOLDEN YEARS
Compulsory Retiring
Draws New Blast

Lawyers make the laws, and
they have made it so compli-
Gated for a person with
money to die that nobody
should even consider it with
out first getting a degree
from a law school.
MY husband and I will
retire with an $4,000 house
and an income Of around
5000 a month.
For many years we have
enjoyed vacations at Gatlin-
burg, Tenn, and though IL is
a resort area We have made
friends with year-round resi-
dents.
Recently we bought a lot
there. We plan to take Sl0,-
900 from the sale of our home
and build a retirement house.
We will be close to the CEN
ter Of town. With all the mo-
tells and craft shops we feel
we could get part-time work
If we needed it."
Gatlinburg is charm ing
country. And not far from
Knoxville where you could
get a good hospital, or an
airliner. There would be
pleasure and profit in tramp
ing back into those beauti-
full mountains and collecting
native handicraft that could
be shipped of to smart shops
in cities.
Il read what you wrote
about the wife who was un-
happy when her husband re-
tired and came home with a
mere 1912 a month for them
to live on. I think that wife
is crazy.
MY husband came home
at IS with 1921 a month.
Evening star., 1960-03-17

We owned our home. We
sold it, moved to Bradenton.
Fla. and bought a small re-
tirement house. We had
S5,400 left over, and put it
in a savings account for
emergencies.
For two years we lived
the happiest hours of our
liveS-fishing, summing, read
ing, being with each other.
Then my husband took
his journey. I was left with
half the income we both
had, or about Sis a month.
l was left, too, with some
practical problems.
Il rented our home. I took
S2,500 of the emergency saw
ings and bought a trailer. I
placed it in a Bradenton
trailer park, and with my
most treasured possessions
moved in.
Financially, / am fixed.
But I would exchange what
l have for a public welfare
check of $50 a month"; 1
could have my husband back.
After age 65 a husband is
the most valuable thing a
woman owns, no matter how
much income comes with
him. This l know. And this
is why I think that COM
planning woman you wrote
about is crazy"

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: For
seven years I was doctored

loss of weight, racing pulse
and tension. We moved, and
naturally I had to have a new
doctor. Within a month he
took a metabolism test and a
protein-bound iodine test to
rule out thyroid trouble.
That's what I have. My
doctor calls it an inward"

DEAR ABBY: My husband

I was going to a movie with

flame. Nothing happened.)
Anyway, ever since then he
has been checking up on me.
1t is very embarrassing. He
calls my mother and sisters
and wants to know where I
am every minute I am away
from home. That lie he
caught me in happened two
years ago, but he can't seem
to forget it.
How can I prove to him

NOT TRUSTED.
1t won't be easy. Trust is
built on actions, not words.

Il want to add my voice
to the growing protest
against forcing from active
life those who have reached
age 65.
"Condemning an active
65-year-old worker to retire
ment when he is capable to
do his work is a great
evil. Compulsory retirement
should be kept for execu-
tives, who otherwise have no
one to tell them when to
quit"
Somebody could run for
Congress on this platform.
Somebody eventually will.
And will win, I think, if he's
smart. Because wives, chill
dren and friends of 65-year-
olds-and a lot of other in
telligent people-simply do
not understand why a worker
is no longer needed because
Of a birthday.
y
you wrote a column
called Pity Your Poor Heirs
When the Will Is Read
This was a bad thing to
write. 1t was an incorrect
thing to write. And it re-
flected unfavorably on law
yers."
1t was not bad because it
led a lot of retired people to
re-eXamine the screwball le-
gal machinery by which they
hope to leave their money to
their children and make
some changes in their wills.
1t wasn't incorrect because I
sat in front of a lawyers desk
and heard every word Of it.
And as for rejecting un-
favorably on lawyers, it did.

DEAR ABBY: Please tell
me if you think my mother
in-law is "all there" She lost
her husband about a year
ago. The first six months
she spent crying to everyone
who'd listen to her. Il know
it is sad to be left a widow,
but she did have 38 happy
married years, and her hus-
band left her in good finan-
cial shape.)
Lately she has spent almost
every day riding around on a
certain bus. She sits behind
the bus driver and talks to
him. She says this is her
only pleasure. I have seen
this bus driver and he acts
very annoyed with her.
Do you think it's right of
my mother-in-law to force
her company on a poor de-
fenseless bus driver? Or
shouldn't somebody tell her
to leave him alone?
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
1t seems to me that there
are rules about passengers
needlessly talking to bus
drivers. Their duties re-
quire their undivided attel,-
tiOn.) Stay out of it. Maybe
the bus driver will tell her
where to get off.

MRS. L. T. Having my
mother live with us is hard
on every one of US. She is
elderly and ailing and Just
couldn't be left alone any
longer. I was the only one
who could possibly take care
Of her so I'm elected and
that's that.
I am very disappointed in
Mary. She always adored her
grandmother but now she
gets irritated at everything
the poor woman says to her.
Once or twice she was so dis
respectful that I slapped her.
I have tried to teach Mary
to be unselfish and thought
, full Of others. The way she is
acting I feel I have been a
failure as a mother. My
mother feels it. too, and says
I've spoiled Mary.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
OF course, we can't excuse
disrespect to grandmother,
but we can see where Mary
has had things rather tough.
At Just the age when she
has come to luxuriate in her
privacy, she is given a close
overseer.
1t also is possible that
Granny is really difficult to
get along with. She is likely
to take out some of her mis-
cries about herself in criti-
cism of Mary. And this
doesn't help the situation by
any means.
Because she is trying to
bear up with a situation that
she herself finds difhcult,
Mrs. L. T. is being a bit too
harsh on Mary. 1t is a way
Of silencing her own inner
protest. But it might help
matters if she expressed
some sympathy to Mary.
She might even consider put
ting the elderly woman in
the boys room for a time.
More important sympathy
will help tighten the mother
daughter relationship during
the difficult teen years ahead.

Derwent Youth
Files Damage
Suit In Court

James Moreland, of Derwent,
through his next best friend,
Mary Moreland, has filed a civil
action against Irvil Rayner, of
Ava, in Noble county common
pleas court.
The plaintiff is asking the
court to award him damages in
the amount of $4,000 for treat
ment of injuries received when
he was thrown from a horse at
the Rayner farm. Moreland is
represented by Sheppard and
Agnew of Cambridge.
The plaintiff is II years old.
He says in his petition that on
March 80, 1859, he visited the
farm of the defendant. Plaintiff
said he was an inexperienced
rider of horses and this fact was
made known to Rayner But the
plaintiff maintains that the de-
fendant furnished him a horse
to ride that was not safely
broken in as riding horse.
The plaintiff further says that
the horse had a sore mouth,
which was easily irritated by the
bride and the defendant was
aware of this fact.
The plaintiff also said that
while riding the horse, it began
to Jump and buck so that he was
unable to control it, thereupon
he was thrown from the back of
the horse and that the animal
fell upon the body of the plain
tiff, causing severe injuries.
Plaintiff also said that as a
result of said injuries, he has
incurred medical bills for the
treatment of his injuries in the
sum of $74974. He has suffered
pain and nervous shock as the
result and he seeks judgment in
the amount of $4,000. =
