But the older your family gets, the more you need life insurance--and the more life insurance you need. The cost of living and children's financial needs grow with time. If your wife was sud­ denly left alone it would be tough for her to provide for your family. So if life insurance was a good idea 20 years ago, it's an even better idea to call your Country Companies agent and review your life protection today. JJj&Country Companies. We're a little dif­ ferent than most insurance people. Keith Sonnichsen McHENRY, ILLINOIS PH. 344-2772 Loren Miller RICHMOND, ILLINOIS PH. 678-6691 At 77, Jack Pearce, of Rochelle, Illinois, is still doing what comes naturally: he's holding down a job, something he's done since he was 14. For the past 18 years, ever since joining the Rochelle Police Depart­ ment, he's been in charge of the town parking meters, is­ sues citations for parking violations and works as a school crossing guard dur­ ing the school year. Born in a small Illinois town, Pearce was one of 12 children, six boys and six girls. "We were known as the 'Dirty Dozen'," Pearce told a writer from The Na­ tional Council on the Aging. During summer vacation between the seventh and eighth grades Pearce got his first job, heating wire wheel spokes over a hot fire and passing them to other men who inserted them in the hubs. His pay? Eight cents an hour. As many people from his generation did, Pearce de­ cided then and there to drop out of school and go to work full-time. "I decided if I was going to work, I'd better get a job that paid a little more than eight cents an hour," Pearce said with a chuckle. "That's how I ended up in the coal mines. I started at $1.57 an hour--that was pretty good money back then." In 1933, Pearce and his wife Alice moved to Ro­ chelle, where they've lived ever since. Over the years, they raised five children and now have 14 grandchildren and four great-grand chil­ dren. "We've always liked youngsters," Pearce said," and I guess that's why Alice and I agreed to sponsor a dance for one of our daugh­ ters and her friends." Little did they realize that one night of chaperoning would lead to nine years of sponsoring dances for Ro- chelle's teenagers, although neither of them regret a sin­ gle minute of the time they donated. "I think being around kids so much has helped keep us young at heart," Pearce said. Even today, as Pearce walks seven to ten miles every day in Rochelle's downtown area checking meters for violations and marking tires with his yel­ low-tipped pointer, the citi­ zens of this small town al­ ways have time to say hel1r» Lossmann's Meats, fish & Odi 5000 W.

I wouldn't know what to do with my­ self if I wasn't out making my rounds." THE FORT WORTH Independent School District has opened all school lunch rooms to persons 60 and older and offers them the regular student lunch for 75 cents a meal. Superintend­ ent Gerald Ward has en­ couraged school principals to extend the program be­ yond the cafeteria by mak­ ing unused rooms available to older persons for pro­ grams and socializing. "We are hoping that in­ terested senior citizens will joih our VIP's program," he said. "This group, Volun­ teers in Public Schools, is open to adults of all ages who would like to put their talents and abilities to work helping school staffs to help the students." THE TIE-LINE infor­ mation and referral service provides residents of South Dakota with free access to more than 8,500 public and private agencies. Since July, 1975, close to 39,000 peo­ ple have been helped with their problems. From the beginning, TIE- LINE has encouraged peo­ ple interested in helping others to volunteer their time. Senior citizen volun­ teers have been very effec­ tive in handling information and referral tasks. "Because of their unique insights and experiences these senior volunteers are able to assess accurately another elderly caller's problem," said Michael Goodroad, TIE-LINE'S direc­ tor. ^ .

Faster Houses: A Way lack "Foster homes? They're not new. Actually, they were started for the care of -the mentally ill in Belgium during the Middle Ages and continue there to this day. But their wide use for both children and adults is relatively new in the United States*'--Dr. Milton Wittman, Chief of the Social Work Education Branch of the National Institute of Men­ tal Health. Dr. Wittman believes that foster care of children has developed into what he calls "a, science of selection" of surrogate or alternate parents --those best able to provide a suitable physical, psychologi­ cal; and emotional environ­ ment for children who cannot be reared properly by their own parents. Similar selection require­ ments exist when formerly hospitalized mental patients are'to be placed in homes offering an environment in which further recovery can take place. A typical pattern of foster care placement for these per­ sons involves several stages. The specialized staff at a hos­ pital or in a community focus on matching home selection with patient selection. There is then a period during which the patient and his family are prepared for foster care to begin. Involving the patient's family is an important step. Often vocational rehabilita­ tion is an important part of fo3ter care. In the community, old job skills can often be re­ vived and practiced or new skills learned. In time--but not overnight--some former patients may become self-sup- porting and largely indepen­ dent. Many adult patients can live in the cbmmunity, but still need intermittent care either back at the hospital or in community mental health centers. Day care or halfway houses, such as are available in most community mental health centers, are valuable as one means of providing this "partial hospitalization." Careful studies have been made of the criteria for select­ ing fostr^ homn or for find­ ing suiuuiw aumes. The more sophisticated foster care programs maintain a pool, or reserve, of homes capable of providing short- or long-term care for patients and clients. Foster care is use­ ful when it is a constructive, humanitarian experience. Probably Probably the last com­ pletely accurate weather forecast was when God told Noah there was a 100 per cent chance of precipitation. •Comedy Fillers. car care facts FROM JACK MAL0 SERVICE MANAGER PAYT0N CHEVROLET €3* AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION... Almost everyone can finish this adage with..."IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE." There are a number of similar sayings, and although they are trite, they remain true. Your outomobile is an excellent example of such advice. Preventive maintenance can save needless trouble and expense. A recent TV commercial makes a more direct point: "You can pay me (a little) now, or you can pay me (a lot more) later."
