By Mike Rothenberger Staff Representative Dale Carnegie & Assoc., Inc., New York. Copyright 1965, Dale Carnegie & Assoc., Inc. History reveals that John Milton was one of the greatest, if not in fact the greatest, of all English poets. He was born in London early in the 16th cen tury. He lived a useful, colorful and productive life, even though he suffered great trage dy. In his mid-thirties he began to lose his eyesight. At the age of 46 he had become totally blind. He did not give up and quit. He merely changed his method of operation. He could not write hjs own lines anymore, so he dictated to a secretary. Having lost his eyesight, he went ahead to develop his already keen mind even further. Some 10 years later, he produced what was considered his greatest work, "Paradise Lost" and still later, "Paradise Regained." Even though he could not see, he painted beautiful, vivid and living pictures in words, for all posterity to see, to enjoy and remember. The pages of his tory are replete with the bio graphy of men and women who forged on to tremendous suc cess and service to humanity, even in the face of great handi cap and misfortune. For ex ample, Beethoven composed his greatest works in music after he became totally deaf. Frank lin D. Roosevelt, the only Pres ident in the history of our coun try who ever received a third nomination for that office, went ahead to be re-elected to a third and even a fourth term to the office of President of the United States. He did it, in spite of the fact that he was a physical cripple. These people were made of the stuff that caused them to forge on in spite of their handicaps, and prepare themselves through the development of their latent talents and abilities. It was the prominent man of Harvard University, Professor William James, the one who e a r n e d f o r h i m s e l f t h e t i t l e , "The Father of Modern Psy chology," who, for years, con tended that the average man never develops more than 10 per cent his latent ability. If we stop to think about it that's about like our eight cylinder car engine running on less than one cylinder. We have but to look around us and observe some of the people we know. We probably won't find it hard to single out a person who seems to have so m a n y t h i n g s i n h i s f a v o r ; health, personality, good looks, sufficient education and such, but for some reason he never seems to accomplish very much. In contrast, we can pro bably think of some who lack many of those personal advan tages but who are succeeding in spite of it. The truth is that we don't have to possess all the desir able qualities in order to suc ceed. We can single out our strongest mental assets and concentrate on their develop ment. We can diligently put them into practical application and our chances of success are good. But the secret lies in de veloping them to their fullest and making that practical ap plication. If we don't, the chances are that we shall al ways remain in the ranks of the mediocre. In this enlight ened age there is no excuse for failure because we can, through simple but deliberate anaylsis, discover our latent talents and quickly develop them to the ex tent that we shall soon rise above the crowd and go on to greater success and fulfillment. It is up to each of us to take the initiative to start moving in the right direction.

State Income Tax Returns Now Available Have you listed your Social Security number on your Illinois state tax return? That's the first question Illinois taxpayers should ask themselves when filling out their state tax forms, the Illinois Department of Revenue advises.

APOLLO 17 RECORDS WASHINGTON -- With the landing of Apollo 17 on Tuesday, December 19, 1972, the United States com pleted the last, longest, and most successful of seven manned lunar landing mis sions. Apollo 17 records included: o Longest manned lunar landing flight: 301 hours, 51 minutes, compared to 295 hours, 11 minutes for Apollo 15. o Largest lunar sample return: An estimated 115 kilograms (249 pounds), compared to 95.4 kg (210 lbs.) for Apollo 16. • Longest total EVA time: 23 hours, 12 minutes compared to 21 hours, 37 minutes for Apollo 16. o Longest time in „ lunar orbit: 147 hours, 48 minutes, compared to 146 hours, 16 minutes for Apollo 15. The Apollo 17 flight was the second longest of the 27 manned missions carried out by the United States since 1961. Only the 330-hour, 36- minute flight of Gemini 7 was longer. With the completion of Apollo 17,- the United States has had men in space for 3,528 hours, 47 minutes, com pared to total mission time of 2,145 hours, 36 minutes for the Soviet Union. After liftoff of Apollo 17, the Apollo Lunar Geology Investigation Team made the following preliminary re port: "The successful return of Apollo 17 marks the cul mination of an era of manned lunar exporation. The area examined is probably the most geologically complex of those visited in the Apollo program. The crew described and sampled highlands units similar to those examined by Apollo 16, and, in the same area, found mare basalts similar to those returned by Apollos 11, 12, and 16. "We are confident that the detailed descriptions by the crew along with the returned samples and photographs will permit us, in time, to understand the complex re lations between highlands and mare material in this area, and to extrapolate these relations to similar areas in other parts of the Moon. In addition, crew de scriptions of the dark mantled areas in Taurus- Littrow valley will be direct ly applicable to large areas of the Serenitatis basin, where similar mantling re lations are seen. Finally, a remarkable discovery of bright orange material cir cumferential to a crater sug gests rock alteration by vola- tiles and a possible volcanic fumarole. "The mission benefited greatly from the presence of a trained geologist on the Moon, and will be remem bered as the most scientifi cally sophisticated, not as the last, manned lunar land ing." Family Benefits It 's a mistake to use resale re turn as a strict l imit on remodel ing: consider a project an invest ment in family enrichment. Habitat Variety Some wildlife responds best to conditions found in a mature stand of trees, others to those in regenerating harvested areas. Most popular modular home has about 1,100 square feet of l iving area, and the factory sells it to the local erector for just under SI 2.000. a survey of 403 manufacturers noted. Millions of tiny air cells in i ts structure make wood a natural insulating material in home con struction. PULL UP A and WATCH GET RINGSIDE NEW CAR FLOORED SEAT...
