Phone 385-8630 OPEN TODAY NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY Both Congressman McClory and Senator Schaffer have been active during their legislative careers in sponsoring arfd promoting legislation designed to improve the lot of the senior citizen. Congressman McClory in dicated, "I discovered that my district offices were receiving requests from senior citizens for state programs such as the Circuit Breaker and Homestead Exemption. Senator Schaffer informed me that his state office constantly received requests for assistance for Social Security and Medicare programs.

WHO HOLDS THE PURSE STRINGS? - This age-old question is constantly being asked in most households, and the answer is usually the more dominant personality of a husband-wife team. Things are different in the Paul Cooper home. Sylvia Cooper came into the Plaindealer office last week on business and brought with her the family's seven-year-old Labrador Retriever, Jill.When Mrs. Cooper put her purse down for a moment, Jill promptly walked over, picked it up in her mouth and let everybody know she was in charge of the contents. The beautiful, big dog is probably the best antidote for purse snatching. Lovable as she is, Jill leaves no mistake about the fact that she is in control of any situation. * STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAY LORD AARP MEETING Chain O'Lakes Chapter 873 held their meeting on Jan. 28 at Leisure Village hall.
