PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, AUGUST 31,1973 Finding Security In Retirement Growing old' You'll have plen­ ty of company. So observes W Scane Bowler, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Pioneer West­ ern Corporation, a national finan­ cial services organization, who adds that "during the last quarter of this century the portion of our over-65 population will rise by 43 percent." "This 'aging' of the American population is further dramatized by recent forecasts that the por tion of the population in the 75 84 year range will jump by 65 percent, and those 85 or older will increase by 52 percent," Bow ler emphasizes. "All those products of the baby boom in the post World War II era are now grown and raising their own families. In several de­ cades their impact will be defi­ nitively felt in the ranks of the elderly." The stabilizing of the birth rate will cause an upward shift in the median age of the American pop ulation. These developments, Bowler predicts, "will result in a changing of many of our life styles." "Not only must American so­ ciety anticipate and prepare for this population shift, but indi­ viduals must also realize that be­ ing 65 doesn't mean a termination of their participation in the world then." He notes, for example, that a man of 65 today can look forward to 16 more years of life, on the average, and a woman that age can expect to live to 84. "This has obvious and import­ ant implications for those people in the 20- to 45-year range, as they must plan for a longer period of retirement than did their par ents The growing need for sound and meaningful financial planning in the younger years -- with ade­ quate resources both for the pres­ ent and the " future -- is easy to see. With the advantage of such foresight, the years spent as a senior citizen can indeed be pro ductive and fulfilling ones," Bow ler concludes.

Here are some things to look into: Investigate all financial advan­ tages available to you after re­ tirement. Be sure to take advan­ tage of all tax-savings given to re­ tirees. For information, ask your local Internal Revenue Service for copies of booklets about tax benefits for retired Americans. If you have any questions about your taxes, get help from some­ one at the IRS. At age 65 you are probably eligible for some health protec­ tion under Medicare. If you are entitled to social security or rail­ road retirement benefits, you are automatically eligible for hospital insurance. The other part of the Medicare program -- medical insurance -- you have to sign up for. When you sign up for medical insurance protection under Medicare, you agree to pay a monthly premium; the Federal government pays an equal amount. If you do not receive social security or railroad retirement benefits, ask about hospital and medical insurance at the Social Security Administration. You may still be eligible for benefits. If you are covered under the Federal Employees Health Bene­ fits Act, of 1959, you are not eligible for hospital insurance under Medicare, but you can sign up for voluntary medical insur­ ance If you have a group health in­ surance plan where you work, you may be allowed to continue carrying it after you retire. This would be your cheapest protec­ tion against medical expenses later on. If you can't continue your pres­ ent group health insurance, look into taking out an insurance poli­ cy on an individual basis. Be care­ ful in selecting the policy. A policy taken out close to retire­ ment or after retirement is usu­ ally expensive and limited in its coverage. Be sure the coverage complements, not duplicates, thp hospital and medical benefits you can get through Social Security. Many retired persons are ac­ tively engaged in all sorts of proj­ ects. They may find themselves in a position where time and energy must be budgeted. Others, like some people of all ages, may have physical problems that re­ quire conservation of energy and limitation of activity. For easy cooking: Use shortcuts. A frozen dinner or canned or frozen main dishes and vegetables are easy to pre­ pare. Serve with fruit or juice$, milk, and fresh or frozen baked goods to make a complete meal. Thsee foods are satisfying, can be purchased in usable amounts and can give good nutritional value for the little time and energy needed to prepare them. Avoid the last minute rush. Meal preparation is less tiring when some of the food is partly or fully prepared in advance. Try combination dishes. Many canned and packaged foods can be combined with other foods to make appetizing dishes that are easily prepared. Try using canned * tomato soup, undiluted, as a sauce over meatballs or with quick-cooking rice to make Span­ ish rice Try using processed cheese melted over aspargus or broccoli, or blend cheese with a white sauce (seasoned with a lit­ tle mustard) and serve on toast or crackers. Try forming canned corned beef hash into patties, top with a slice of pineapple, and grill. Try combining ground meat, tuna, cut-up cooked chicken or ham, dried beef, or frankfurters with canned macaroni and cheese or with spaghetti in tomato sauce; bake to blend the flavors. Or try adding chopped onion and green pepper to tuna or chicken and combine with condensed chicken soup, undiluted. Top with an un­ baked baking powder biscuit ahd bake until heated through or bis­ cuit is brown. from HISTORY'S SCRAPB00K DATES AND EVENTS FRQM YESTERYEARS Draft riots broke oat in New York City on July IS, IMS, killing 1,000 persons.

( N E W S O F E A R T H , E N V I R O N M E N T , E N E R G Y ) Transportation Controls Under the Clean Air Act of 1970, all States must submit plans for meeting the national ambient air quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1971. Transportation control measures are required for any air quality control region where con­ trols on stationary sources -- such as powerplants and other indus­ tries -- combined with Federal new car emission standards, are inadequate to insure attainment or maintenance of the ambient standards. In general two broad types of transportation controls have been considered by the States -- those which reduce emissions from in­ dividual motor vehicles such as installing control devices on 'each car, or those which reduce emis­ sions from all vehicles as a class, such as restrictions on vehicle travel. Most plans submitted to the EPA by the States employ a combination of strategies to meet required air quality standards. The most common strategies in­ clude inspection and maintenance programs, the installation of so- called "retrofit" devices to con­ trol auto emissions and traffic control measures such as traffic flow improvement, mass transit improvement, parking bans, ex­ clusive bus lanes, car pooling, and methods to cut back the total ve­ hicle miles traveled. To meet air quality standards, many major urban areas must control emissions from motor ve- hides to a greater extent than would be afforded by the Federal new car emission controls. Across the nation, autos may contribute 50 percent or more of total air pollutants, but in certain urban areas the contribution may rise as high as 90 percent.

In order for you to receive the liberties you want, you are going to have to prove to your parents that you are mature enough to handle such a situation. Try to live with it and enjoy life --we're sure it's not that horrible to go to a show or other event with another girl.

My mother is very old- fashioned. She says that boys should call the girls. Then when they do, she gets mad and says they can't call anymore. She won't even let boys come anywhere near our house. Then she gripes because we don't get out and do things. But it's not much fun going to the show or fair with another girl. When we do get a boy, my parents don't approve of him -- no matter how nice he is. If his hair is touching his shirt collar, my parents go crazy. My Dtod wears his hair cut very short. Please help me! ! THINK ABOUT IT! i BY BOB JXJSTEK Labor Day thoughts. . .Since the first Labor Day parade In 1882 in New York, evolution (machinery replacing men) and forms of revolution have been constant companions in the cause of labor. Strikes, lock-outs, sit-ins, boycotts, bricks, clubs - yes, even guns - have played a part in labor gains.. and losses. Goals have been reached, new goals set 19. The working man (and that includes most of us these days) has gained stature and status. While we still have poverty in places, most people today can and do buy the necessities of life. In­ creasing numbers of people enjoy luxuries which pre- ceeding generations dared not even hope for. With all this progress, an unremoved thorn in the flesh re­ mains. It is a perplexing problem with no feasy answer in sight. Interestingly enough, the problem is mentioned in the 28th Psalm - "Requite them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward." The problem? Just what is "due reward"? No 20th Cen­ tury Solomon has yet appeared with even a half way acceptable answer. We wonder. Is there an answer? If so, what is it? . . . GEORGE R. JUSTEN FUNERAL HOME, 3519 W.
