MINISTER PLANS TO RETIRE BUT WHAT HAPPENS THEN?

A PROTESTANT minister, who 1 says his business is the moral i and spiritual but not the cco- < nomic, has a retirement problem It eencerna money. He and his wife live in a home that is provided by his church He is scheduled to retire nine years from June, 1963 At that time his church pension, plus his Social Security, will total about $375 a month. “Now, the question I want to ask,” he says, “is this: “Would it be wise for my wife and me to invest in a home now, and rent the home to a reliable, party? We would use the rent to help pay upkeep and monthly pay menu on the mortgage. “Or would it be wiser tn save up our money and buy oi build a home when we do retire in 1972’ It is the opinion of this column ' Ist that he should ferret the house I Their are three reasons 1 The Dull and Practical A house built now could be oldfashioned in nine y< ars and the lot on which it stood could be in alumsby then Single family homes have seldom been considered R<x>d invcitmenta tor extra income Getting steady tenants for nine years would be a problem Collect inf rent would be a bother f r anybody—and for a minuter it cm ld be awful lb » n-.i emotion ally fitted U be a lan third Almi, Lou <?><-!» he I * I l.e d like hu filed nine \ea from now; or Low he'd v. nt in* hMio' room ? 2 Pei sj Fibre P»<.ph alone in their 5o s. g<r.m I <ir tust n.d of rthrem nt will frequently *Urt acting Ul® *quin«d* — gathering

Usually when something pleasant is btwtowed upon us, th<>re is something not so pleasant attached to it in some form or another. If it Is reward for a hard job completed, one must remember tire toil that accompanied the completing of the Job. Hcpvever, this is something that we receive each year that is always (wtremely we’oome. that being springtime.

But at last, It looks like spring is here The more unpleasant aspects of this time is additional hazards Last wo k wo spent some word and inches --n the traffic and additional hazards of children r - turning tn play out of door* This week wo would like to dwell briefly on words of wsadom from official i of the many fire departments in our arms. Fire is a terrible thing and any and every precaution that cm be taken to control this deadly weapon should b*» exorcUm.l to the fullest extent Over the week end in Walkerton alone the fire d<^> rtment answered nt least eight calls that were directly due to enrekusness Rome through the urge to get some spring dean-

keep the right relationship with my child ” OUR REPLY: Thanks, and we are delighted to hear from a parent ... a wise parent, apparently, one not too busy to take time to talk things over with a teenager Many parents do not realize that It is not sufficient to just say “no'* । or “this is the way it is' when a teenager has a certain problem or when some particular matter must be dealt with Quite often difficulties arise be i tween parents and children be । causa of misunderstanding* and

ing and yard work done and po*> aibly others through just plain enrehsaness. Spring ia always a windy time of the year and this wind and fires go hand-in-hand to destroy thousands of dollars worth of projierty in our area Burning off an empty lot, a fence row, a garen or other area, can result in a bad fire on a windy day. Tlry can quickly spread out of control of one or two people or even can be a match for a fire department. Fires can spread easily from grass and rubbish to building* and no tragedy is worse than a fire. Fire prevention can be preached and preached, but only If people take heed of the warnings and use caution, can firew be stopped. Some fire 4 arc going to happen, but most are < aused through carelessness. Use sense in using fire to clean up and clear off lot and yards. Don't become a victim of fire through your carele-wsness and don’t cause someone else to be vict m of your file cither You would expect tho same from them We would also like to say "Thanks' and tip our hats to the fire departments of this urea. Their job is dangerous and they are strictly on a volunteer bads with practically no pay at all The volunteer departments spend considerable time in training and are very efficient in time of need. But their jobs can be much c.isiar with your cooperation

the matter grows worse because parents are too busy or too unconcerned to listen a bit rather tlian talk; or because the child will not fully present the problem because parents showed lack of sympathy and understanding at some previous time. Sometimes teenagers keep their problems entirely to themselves It is a healthy situation indeed when children do not hesitate to come to parents with aU their problems—and when parents will always find time to "talk things over,” This column often advises teenagers to “put yourself in your parent’s position.” Charles K. Scott, Homestead, Florida, has written two books which offer this opj>ortuiity An ideal parent tochild gift, they are entitled “If I Were My Dad . . .” and “If I Were My Mom.” Both ate illustrated. thought provoking presentations If prablaa* r«« want Io lliruil, ar an tbrrrtalltl to mak*. »ddrru your inter to IOS ANU AHO I T TF.KMAUm*, NATIONAL WKF.Kir NKWAFAFI-H SUK VICK. >*AMUU«r, KT.
