FARMERS ICE & FUEL CO. —DISTRIBUTOR— 10 RULES TO FOLLOW BEFORE YOU RETIRE ALONG about now, if things have gone on schedule, Mrs. Albert G. Foster and her husband M are fishing on the banks of a iu nhling stream that runs through the "'wn of Gatlinburg, Tenn. Before they left, Mr. Foster wanted to tell how he planned to set up a highway stand in front of his cabin and sell the handi craft of the mountain folk to vaca tionists. But Mrs. Foster insisted that he tell about his “Ten Com mandments of Retiring , * which he had drawn up during his last year on the job. So he did. And they aren’t bad. Here they are: 1. One year or so before age 65 go to the boss and ask him to give it to you straight—are they going to retire you or aren’t they? When he says they are, thank him as if you liked it. But you’ll know for sure now. 2. The next day go to the Per sonnel Office if the company is big enough for that sort of thing, or if it’s not. to the prim little woman in the corner who keeps books on you, and tell her to tell you: On what day your first pen sion check will arrive and how much it’ll be, whether you’ll be able to continue your hospital in surance and your life insurance, whether you’ll get severance pay, what employee rights, if any, you’ll carry over into retirement 4. Decide whether or not you want a post-retirement job or a part-time job with the company. If so, start out to sell the execu tive who can grant it. 5. Relax for a couple of months and then tell the boss you are ready to start training your suc cessor. Then train him, good. You’ve got nothing to lose, and you owe it to your job heir. 6. Don’t tell any fellow em ployees what you are going to do in retirement. Speak casually of your investments, of your wife’s desire to explore the Smokies, of a couple of companies that are nagging ycu to come to work for them. 7. Figure your last vacation into your pension deal. You’ll pick up some dollars this way. Besides you don’t need three weeks of rest a few months before you get 20 years of it. 8. Don’t goof off the job in the last year. 9. Finally, don’t let them trap you into a retirement party. This is a salve for the conscience of those who are retiring you, and they don’t really deserve it. It is a tax on your fellow employees who have to contribute for an electric-razor for you: or some thing. 10. Don’t go back to the scene When retirement is a fact it is an absolute fact Don’t go back to and what will you get that you advise or to visit. You have haven’t thought of. ! winked at the girls, back-slappe 3. Start soft-soaping anybody in the boys, and grasped the hand oi the company who is on the way ! the boss That’s it It’s over. It s up, and keep at it for this last done Go get the uew hfe that b year You nevei know yours SEARCHING FOR CONTRAST CAN TRIP YOU UP AT 65 \17'HAT you think you want for ’'V retirement, if you are like most people, is contrast. You have been an introverted auditor in a back office; you dream of treasure islands. You live on a farm and you long for big-city life, and vice versa. You live in the North and you yearn for the South. There’s nothing wrong with this. Not if you have the courage to see it through and satisfy your self the contrast is, or is not, what you want. And not if you leave the door propped open so you can come back. In general, contrast is not really what you want at 65. “My wife,” says an insurance man who retired last year, “must have visited somebody’s country estate when she was a young girl. Always she wanted us to have a country place. And as my retire ment . came on she insisted we start planning it. “We did. “I bought 30 acres eight miles out of town . . . just about right for an artificial lake, some woods, a big patio with umbrella, a low- slung, very modern ranch house . . . and maybe a couple of horses.” It was a far cry from apartment living in town. But it was a chic idea. The wife was socially bent, with friends all over and the country place was to be a sort of social temple where she would reign as high priestess under her umbrella. “Before eight months were over we knew we were wrong,” the husband says. “Friends came visiting out of curiosity, then be cause they were invited. Finally eight miles proved to be a very 1-o-n-g distance. “We were left in splendid isola tion, with lonely days and nights, rural sounds we didn’t care for, inconveniences we didn’t antici pate, and nothing to do on 30 ratty acres . . .” They moved to Arizona ... to a subdivision street where neigh bors who like to play bridge and entertain are all about them. Farmers retire and move into town, usually because their wives think city living has some special, magic to it Few ever adjust to the change, though you’ll seldom find one to admit it Northerners retire to the South, and they fare better than most because there are scads of other Northerners around. Big-city couples go back to the small towns. The small- towners at long last can move into the city. So, if you are the introverted auditor who wants a treasure is land, or if you are any of the peo ple mentioned above who yearns for something different when the pension comes, then do these things: 1. Hold the housing you now have—rent it out, loan it out, close it up, do anything, but be sure you hold to it. 2. Go stick your toe in the water. Dig into savings, sell the car, cash in investments (it may be the wisest spending you ever did) and go test what you think you want. 3. Ask yourself honestly if a different way of life is what you really want, or are you just bored? A 65-year-old mind and body are pretty set in their ways after 20 or 30 years of one kind of living.

West returned three of clubs which was won with dummy’s ace. East played low on the eight of dia monds lead from the board and the trick fell to South's ten. South proceeded to trumps, taking suc cessive tricks with the king and queen, then sluffed a heart on the king of clubs.

North and South bid bravely. South played the hand well. BY HELEM HALE A NICE topping for that quick coffee cake uses V& cup brown sugar, V4 cup flaked coconut and 2 tablespoons of butter melted, all crumbled together and sprin kled on top of the batter before baking. When you’re casting about for a quick dessert, why not toast some poundcake and serve with sliced bananas and whipped cream fluted from a pressurized can? Surround canned pork luncheon meat with peach halves and spoon some red jelly into each half. They’ll cook right along in the oven together. Helen’s Favorite: French Fried Onion Rings (Serves 6) 1 large onion, sliced % inch thick Milk 1 cup pancake mix Vi teaspoon salt % cup water 2 tablespoons chopped parsley Separate onion into rings; soak in milk to cover for 15 minutes. Place pancake mix, water and salt in bowl. Beat 2 minutes. Add parsley. Drain onion rings, dip in batter, drain off excess. Fry in deep, hot fat (375°F.) about 2 minutes or when golden brown. Turn only once. Drain on absorbent pa per. Meat loaf topped with a can of tomato soup makes nice gravy which can be served with quick- cooked rice to which pimiento has been added. Pass along a dish of quick- creamed vegetables when you’re not serving gravy. You can use canned whole potatoes with mixed vegetables or peas and carrots. for the 'f Ll uiJIaJLilI ITEM. An advertisement in a large daily newspaper offered wigs for ladies, made of real hair, from $165 to $400. A few questions among the fashion experts reveals that the wig fad among American women (this includes Canada and Latin America) is on the rampage. According to our information you can buy a v/ig for as little as $50 if jou will be satisfied, with synthetic hair. Those made of real hair are much more expen sive and are likely to cost more since the supply of real hair is becoming scarce. * * * ITEM, r ottled eggs is the latest new packaging idea. Reports say they are sold in 16 ounce bottles, containing 10 eggs, and quarts, having 20. The yolks are unbroken and the white adheres well enough so housewives can pour them out of the bottle one at a time. The price is higher than eggs in na ture’s package. • • • ITEM. Reports from the west coast indicate that the prices of canned tuna and salmon may be down a little this fall due to heavy canning this year and a surplus from last year. The savings is not expected to be very large. ITEM. Among the new products to hit the market in the past few weeks is a new kiddie soap in an aerosol can. It is supposed to make knuckle-scrubbing fun. The soap is released by pressing the trigger of a plastic gun atop the can. • • • ITEM. Don’t look for a marked change in the price of meat at your favorite market in the very near future. Hog prices are ahe^.d of this time last year and are ex pected to continue strong for an other month. Cattle prices at the end of July were higher than at any time in the preceding three months. • • • ITEM. American family manag ers will spend millions of dollars in the next two or three weeks to outfit school children. According to reports from across the coun try prices are a little ahead of laat year for clothing, and variety and selection almost unlimited. The bite into the family budget this year will be bigger than ever.
