Kentucky fried Chicken : i sr® SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22,1»7« by Gerry Johnson Doctor Advises Man to Work At 79, Simon Weil of Nashville, Tenncsse, puts in long hours for a man who supposedly retired 12 years ago. Not only is he in his office from 9:30 to 3:30 five days a week but he devotes an even greater amount of time to civic in­ terests. Weil's appetite for long days and a variety of activi­ ties dates back to when he dropped out of high school after two years. The country was in the midst of World War I then, and Weil en­ listed in the army. "I was one of those ener­ getic young fellows who thought you had to run off and win the war singlehand- edly," Weil told a writer from The National Council on the Aging in a recent interview. When the war ended, he stayed in Europe for a time before returning to Nash­ ville, where his brother-in- law and some other people We Reserve The Right To Limit Quantities On Sale Items were starting a retail busi­ ness. They were having diffi­ culties and asked Weil to join the company. "They were very nice guys but not especially good businessmen," Weil said. "It was lucky for everyone involved that I turned out to be a natural-born retailer." Lucky is putting it mildly. From ^n^mtiapstake of SSOOf^iuJjjt-Big K Stores has grown to its present size of 110 stores in a dozen states. But over the years, what has concerned Simon Weil even more than being a suc­ cessful businessman is the welfare of ethers. He has been and continues to be a driving force in Nashville. One project he's been deeply involved with is a radio station for the blind. There are other stations around the country broad­ casting for the blind but the idea originated in Nashville. There are currently over 300 volunteers available for reading newspapers, books and other printed matter. Having educated himself by reading voraciously, Weil has also played a large role in Nashville's excellent pub­ lic library system and in establishing the library's FM radio station which has won numerous awards. A new museum and play­ house have recently been completed in Nashville and Weil has ideas for how they should be utilized. "One of my ambitions is to start art and dance classes for kids," Weil said. "I'd like to take kids off the street and get them involved in the arts." The list of projects Weil is involved in goes on and on, such as his efforts to help older persons, his work for the Boy's Club and his activities at the Jewish Center. How does Weil find time for all his endeavors? "What I usually tell peo­ ple is that my heart is bigger than my brain," Weil said with a chuckle. When asked if he'll ever really retire, Weil said, "I just got a checkup and my doctor told me I'm in great shape. He said that what­ ever I'm doing, I must be on the right track and not to stop doing it. If my doctor thinks that work is good for me, then I don't think I'll ever retire. Would you go against your doctor's or­ ders?" Insight BECOMING MORE USEFUL By Larry Swaim 1. One of the first keys to effectively assisting others is humility. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Humility is born of honest self evaluation. It is essential for everyone to realize his own strengths and weaknesses.

Recognize that God's standard of a holy life is not attainable by human effort - we can't do what needs to be done by ourselves -J we must leave room for God. Attempting to do it by our own human resources will lead only to frustration and failure, yet, if we recognize that with Christ on our side all things are possible, many new doors of opportunity open.

The third key is to recognize that you can't do everything. So many times we are tempted to spread ourselves too thin, to burn our candle at both ends and to become ineffective in all that we attempt. Take on those responsibilities you can effectively carry out, but to take on more than we should leads to frustration.
