Indiana, was guest speaker at the Association for Retarded Citizens meeting on Tuesday evening. Warrum gave information and advice on estate planning for parents, foster parents and others who have the responsibility of raising a retarded person. He outlined the methods and loopholes that may be used to avoid money left to the retarded from reverting to the state and stresses that propertv should never be left directly to the retarded person; nor should they be made beneficiary of insurance. He advised parents. "You do not have to have a lot of money or propertv to necessitate the need for a will. Even if you have very little. I'm sure you want it divided according to your ow n w ishes." Warrum spoke on guardianship and urged careful selection of the person or persons who will be responsible for the retarded person once the parents are dead. Since guardianship is usually expected to last over the life expectency of the person nominated as guardian, it is wise to use more than one person and nominate them in order of one's performance. He advises parents on estate planning only where a retarded person is involved. He does not personally draw up the will or trust fund, but acts as advisor on the special needs of the retarded while the family’s own attorney does the paper work. Mr. Warrum’s specialized services are free of charge. Readers of the I ARC News will know Roger Warrum from his column. "Words from the Wizard". He is also the author of books on estate planning for the retarded, which are kept updated as changes are made in the laws. These are available from the Indiana Association for Retarded Citizens. One Virginia Ave., Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. Warrum is a member of the Governmental Affairs Committee for the I ARC. During the business meeting which preceded the program plans were completed for the Teachers Tea on October 16th at the State Exchange Bank in Plymouth. Lucille France. President of ARC. invited parents to attend Jean Rockwell. vice president and secretary protem. received support from the members for a campaign for saving labels from Campbell's soup.

Defensive Driving Saves Lives

Panic is your enemy, it can kill you. That’s why you should keep a cool head and a good grip on yourself and your wheel when you come up against a driving emergency. To be a good defensive driver you must be alert. Beyond that technical knowledge and skill will lessen your chances of an accident. One thing to remember, says the “Driving Skills Book," is that the speed limit isn't always safe. “Speed limits,” the book says, “are set for the best driving conditions. Slow down in heavy traffic, dark ness and bad weather. But n’memlwr, if you’re on a freeway, don’t go too slowly. That can be very dangerous. Concentrate on staying within the speed limit and going with the flow." Here are some other safety tips: • Keep your body alert, sit straight, listen with your body as well as your ears. • When making a turn, stay in the same lane, don't swing wide into a different lane.
