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.
A Nutritious Snack—Spicy Peanut Crisps
If you’ve cookie-hungry youngsters around, make some Spicy
Peanut Crisps just for them. These tasty drop cookies contain one
of their favorite foods — peanuts, plus a subtle spiciness of ginger.
You’ll have no difficulty preparing these easy drop cookies.
Be sure to use enriched self-rising flour with the baking powder
and salt already added. And because this flour has added nutri
ents — three B-vitamins and iron, plus calcium — it will also
make a nutritious family snack of these Spicy Peanut Crisps and all
the other baked foods you prepare with enriched self-rising flour.
Spicy Peanut Crisps are good children’s party fare also. Serve
them with ice cream and mugs of white or chocolate milk.

Opening lead: Ace of hearts.
Opening lead was ruffed in dum
my with nine of spades. Seven of
diamonds was led from the board;
East played low. South played the
nine and West won with the jack.
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. A small club lead
from the board was trumped in
closed hand and then South clear
ed trumps with the ace, giving up
a heart trick to make the contract.
COMMENT: This was a tricky
hand to play. 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.

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.
