The word certainly Is applicable to many sifstkns, but it seems particularly appropriate in connection with the McHenry Senior Citizen Waft-in Center. The center has made tremendous strides since Its inception a couple of montho. It bristles with activity, denying the feet that these senior citizens are through with living life to its fullest They are too busy channelling their vast experiences and knowledge into productive occupations to be aware of their number of years. Using donated swatches of material, the sewing group has made innumerable quilted lap robes for wheelchair patients. Working under the direction of Alice WUke. some have even brought sewing machines and ironing boards from home. Under the guidenee of Joe Krenel, over thirty pairs of yarn bedroom slippers have been made with donated materials. Frits Turek, an experienced painter, watches as artists enthusiastically dabble In oils. Plaque painting Is supervised by Rollo Thorsen, cameo painting by Betty Smith and apple head carvtag for dolls by Marilyn Hamilton. Many of the project results will be donated as gifts to patients in nursing homes. In a spirit of camaraderie, the Walk-in center is flourishing AUGUST 27 St. Margaret Chapter of NAIM-Cards-St. Mary's Oak Room-7:30 p.m. Overeaters Anonymous- First United Methodist Churcb- -3:30 p.m. AUGUST 30 T.H.E.O.S.-- Meeting & Dinner-First United Methodist Church-5:30 p.m. J Invite Girls To Enter Miss Teen-Age Pageant A Hollywood dream trip for an opportunity to appear on ABC TV's "General Hospital", a $1,000 fur coat/ worldwide fame, fortune and opportunity to represent all of America's teenage girls awaits the winner of the eighteenth annual Miss American Teen-Ager pageant.

(by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Fair Film Fest Free showings of short subjects and feature films of the 1930's and 40's will be an added attraction at the Illinois State fair this year.

Public prayers are difficult : Q. I find it very difficult to pray out loud in public. I love the Lord and want so much to pour my heart out to Him, but the words just aren't there. I have always prayed silently to God *nd my prayers made me feel close to Him. I would like any advice you can give* A. You probably assume that you are required to use a traditional form of prayer language. That iifcot so. Simply talk to the Lord in plain language, telling what is on your mind. Ask that the other people present be blessed. Make it a simple request And do not think about yourself. Instead, think about the others who are present when you pray. In this way you will be natural in your prayer and the others will like that. And we might add, God will like it too. t We have a booklet, Try Prayer Power, which has helped others with questions such as yours, and a copy of it is on its way to you. Anyone reading this column who wishes a free copy may write for one. Address your request to Dr. and Mrs. Peale, Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. Does Divorcee Need Sex? Q. After being married eight years it is hard to forget the man you loved. Since my divorce a year ago I can't seem to be happy. I recently had a date with a man who is divorced. We had a very enjoyable time together. He wanted to make love to me, and I didn't think it was right, so I said "No." Why do I feel that way? I know it would have been a very beautiful moment for both of us as I haven't had sexual relations since my divorce. Do you think a divorcee needs that to keep her happy? A. No. Sex never makes one truly happy unless it is right. Of course it is difficult for a divorcee who has had sexual relations within marriage to be deprived of such experience. But even so, you did right not to have sex with this man. As well as being right, you were smart That "very beautiful moment" could have turned very sour. ' You would be well advised to find yourself a good man whom you love and who will love you and marry you and thus establish a normal, healthy sex relationship. Flouted And Fussed At Q. I have nine wonderful children and love them very much. Now my husband is retired, all the children are married and I thought we would be happy. My children come home to see us on a Sunday. But when one son and his family come I am flouted and fussed at by my husbnad. But when the other eight kids come he is as calm as a kitten, and why and the reason for it I would like to know. I have had the rest of the ldds to say there is so much difference in me and my husband when this one son is here. To me he is no different from the rest but my husband is cutting up something awful. I need an answer badly. A. The problem seems to be something Of an irritating nature in the relationship of your husband to this particular son. Apparently you have had no hint of what this irritant may be. The fact that he "flouts and fusses" at you could indicate that for some obscure reason your husband is embarrassed when this son is present. One wonders whether the son may have gone beyond his father's attainments, which in turn would tend to bring out an inferiority reaction on the part of your husand. A careful study of your husband's personality may turn up an insight which can lead to a correction in the relationship. (Perhaps you would like to find an answer for yourself to a problem that you can share with others in There's An Answer! If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564).
