THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY. AUGUST 29, 1963 A $202 RETIREMENT BUDGET FOR A COUPLE IN THE SUN F OR you who continue to worcy over the privations you think you will suffer on your small re tirement income, here is another case history—of a couple retired in one of the loveliest towns in California on $202 a month. According to the husband, the $202 budget is not difficult, “chief ly because we planned very care fully and for quite some time for this major change in our lives." The couple had lived in the Mid west during the husband's work ing years. When retirement came they chose California (their mar ried daughter lives there), and decided to move their household furnishings with them. “We be lieved,’’ says the husband, “that unfurnished living space would be less expensive, but also that hav ing our own things about us would appreciably lessen the shock of the change in our lives. “We did not have a rigid budget figure in mind when we made our move,’’ the husband continues, “but we aimed tentatively at $200 a month. “We had set certain conditions we wished to meet in our search for a place to live. We wished to he fairly near our daughter’s fam ily, near enough to markets, trans portation and church so we would not need a car. We wanted a quiet residential neighborhood where the atmosphere was home-like. “After some time, and much searching, we found a four-room apartment in an older residence, on a good street where they take in the sidewalks at 9 P.M. We got good neighbors, good views both front and back, many flowers and i . U file location of your borne, whether it be new nr old, doesn't permit you to have a basement, you need some form of outdoor storage for lawn furniture, garden tools, mowers, toys and bicycles. If you have a garage, your problem is partly solved — if the garage is large enough to accommo date all tools, toys and mis cellaneous items and still leave some room for the family automobile during inclement weather. If the garage is too small, or if you have only a carport, then you need storage space. A unit of the type shown above can be con structed inexpensively by the do- it-yourselfer or the professional carpenter. If there is room under carport. place unit beneath overhang, giv ing it some protection from the weather. Regardless of whether unit is under carport or attached to back of garage, choose quality, weather- resistant materials for construc tion. Ask your lumber dealer for recommendations. irftiQ© Qua Joseph Pulitzer started a campaign to raise $100,000 for pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, March 15, 1885.

For this, plus utilities, washing ma chine and heat we pay $65 a month . . .’’ (It is in their attitude toward housing, second only to appetites for expensive food, that* most re tired people make their budget mistakes. Pride keeps them from searching out the quite splendid living quarters that can be found in the old homes in the older neighborhoods.) With their housing problem set tled, the California couple set up their way of life, and for 28 months now have lived on this budget: Rent $ 65 Food (all of it) 55 Hospital Insurance 25 Medical, Dental bills 10 Tithing (church and other). 17 Miscellaneous (a catchall for newspapers, telephone, personal care, etc.) 30 Total $202 The budget is flexible, the hus band explains, and is backed up by a modest savings account But for the 28 months it has worked out about as listed above. Both the husband and wife have had major surgery since moving to California, but their hospital in surance was designed to take care of the major medical costs. “The premium is high, but we believe it is the part of wisdom to take care of this matter in our budget rather than expect our children to bear the cost . .

Dorn Declined To Join March Representative Wm. Jennings Bryan Dorn, replying to the en graved invitation from the New York Committee sponsoring the March on Washington August 28. said: “I must decline your invitation to join you on the platform at the Lincoln Memorial at 2 P. M. on August 28. I cannot endorse your mass pressure technique to force through Congress unnecessary Federal legislation. This attempt to force Congress to bow to the demands of the demonstrators is a dangerous precedent and could someday lead to the overthrow of free government and destroy the liberties of our people. Our indiv idual freedom can best be preserv ed by free local and State govern ment. The type of legislation ad vocated by this demonstration will lead to centralized Federal power that could rob our people of all freedom. As always, I will con tinue to see any American citizen who will come to my office to discuss legislation.” Colonel Lester In Staff School FORT LEAVENWORTH, KAN. (AHTNC)—Army Reserve Lt.

On the list of “plentifuls” most everywhere: broiler-fryers, eggs, beef, and early summer vegetables—lettuce, cabbage, po tatoes, sweet com and carrots. • • • ITEM: Summertime is ice cream time and most everyone likes the “homemade” kind.

Head football coach Harvey Kirkland will greet 38 football players who will report for the 1963 season here Thursday, Aug ust 28. Full-scale practice is not sched uled to begin until September 2, but players report early in order to take care of preliminaries. Once such things as innoculations, uniform issuance and picture tak ing are out of the way, Coach Kirkland and his staff will be able to devote their full attention to the problem of whipping the boys into shape for the season opener with Appalachian. Besides getting the players into shape, the v berry college coach ing staff w... nave the problem of replacing eight of last year’s starters. The entire forward wall with the exception of stellar end Fred Haley, is missing from last year’s 6-5 club. Also missing are two of the finest halfbacks that the Indians have had in several years. The 1962 Coach of The Year Harvey Kirkland, will he out to solve a few problems for the 1963 season. If a sturdy forward can be found and if two halfbacks are found, Coach Kirkland will have few worries. It is finding these starters that is worrying Coach Kirkland. The three players who are re turning do give a ray of hope to the coaching staff. Two of them, quarterback Tom Gorman and end Fred Haley, are definite Little All American prospects. The other, fullback Bill Hammond is the leading ground gainer returning to the squad. As a freshman last year, he jacked up 469 yards on 125 carries and scored 18 points. For his other starter, Kirkland will have his choice. At the ends, Haley and Senior Dave Hart are the only returning lettermen. My ron Berry, a sophomore non-let- terman, has been moved from tackle to the end position. Other players who will be trying for the starting end position are freshmen Grayson Yelton, East- over; Bobby Addison, Hartwell, Ga.; and Steve Long, Newberry. Kirkland will have only two experienced tackles returning. They are Jim Fowler and Dennis Lynn, both juniors. Freshmen who will be called on at this position are: Harold Robertson, Miami, Florida and Billy Arnold, Savan nah, Georgia. At the guard position, Kirkland finds his strongest line position. Three lettermen and newcomers will be on hand to man this posi tion. Returnees are Jim Acker, Wes Murphy and Bill Groce, while the newcomers are Bary Groce, Greer; Jerry Norris, Charleston; and Bill Zuber, Jacksonville, Fla. Sophomore Pat Merrick returns to handle the center slot, with veteran Bobby Force and fresh man Tommy McAdams backing him up. McAdams is from Green ville. At the quarterback position Kirkland will have his son Benji to back up ace quarterback Tom Gorman. Jerry Hunter from East- over will also be on hand to help out. At the fullback position there will be three lettermen returning. Irvin Fordham, Joe Wren and Bill Eaves with non-letterman Reed Charpia will be battling for the two halfback positions. Also in the running will be freshman Gyles Hall, Salley and Neal Duf- ford of Cameron. At the fullback position, Kirk land will have two powerhouses. Besides Hammond, sophomore Jim Sifrit will return. Sifrit, a non- letterman should see plenty of ac tion this year. North Augusta Freshman Robert Thompson will also be in the running for the fullback slot. Herbert Looney's Mother Dies Mrs. Mamie Bouknight Looney,. 81, of Lexington, widow of W. H. Loney, died at the Baptist hos pital in Lexington Saturday after a short illness. Mrs. Looney was born in Irmo, the daughter of the late John Pinckney and Susan Meetze Bouknight.
