Our society i& not nearly so static as it used to be. People travel during their working years. The "old home­ town" (where everyone was a friend and neighbor) is hard to find. Like topsy, it grew and isn't "the same" anymore. Many Americans, immigrants to this country long ago, still have strong ties with their home­ land - Italy, Greece, Germany. Great Britain, Mexico, Canada. Each year, in increasing numbers, American workers retire and re­ turn to the land c*f their birth They are joined by a number of native-born Americans who choose overseas retirement simply be cause they believe thev can live Mailbox Improvement Week POET'S CORNER A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER There is one person who can't be replaced; And that is our wonderful mother. She's given up many things for us, And we'll never have another. She may be quite young and charming, She may be quite wrinkled and gray; But no one can ever take her place As we honor her on her day. So to all of you wonderful mothers Whether you're here or far away, We love you and hope you'll be happy And have a wonderful Mother's Day! Bonnie Kellen Marge Connell A MOTHER'S LIFE Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry, I can see a tear of joy and thanks, in a mother's eye. Of joy, because a new life begins on earth, of thanks, a woman, became a mother and gave birth. The pains and fears she will soon forget, with a mother's love she smiles towards the infant's bed. The years come and go, just passing by, like wind, they carry away the sweet song of a lullaby. The little baby grows to be a young girl, with rosy cheeks and a head full with curls. One day a young man, handsome and tall, comes for her pretty girl, to call. A mother walks slowly to the side she tries to hide the tears in her eyes. She knows time has come to say goodbye, her heart is breaking it shows in her smile. Her days will be quiet and still for years to come, just in her memories she wanders back to the time, which is now gone.... But, on this very special day, every year, a card and a bouquet of flowers will be waiting here. Thank you, dear mother for all your love, may God bless you, from heaven above, by Maria Heiser ¥ fttl i Mil Mi better for less on their retirement income. Growing also is the number who choose trailer life--on the move, or anchored at some trail er park in a moderate clime. Some even purchase a camper on wheels and spend the entire year on the move--south in winter, elsewhere during the summer months. For those with no urge to roam, where to live often means simply the decision whether to remain in a-.paid-for home or sell it and move to an apartment to save the cost and bother of taxes and maintenance In any event, where to live in retirement is an important deci sion--and one that should not be lightly made. Returning to the "old country" can be disappoint­ ing Old friends may be gone, living conditions may not be up to the American standard.
