How to Live a Long, Happy Life People interested in living a lone, productive life would do worse than using Calvin "Pete" Pfingst. of Evanston. Illinois as an example. At 95 years of age, Pfingst is up and out every Monday morning to play golf, works a few hours every Tuesday at a nearby social center and drives several friends u> church every Sunday. A former school princ- pal. Pfingst retired in 194N after almost 3<) years with the Chicago Board of Edu­ cation. He graduated from the University of Chicago and received a master's de­ gree in education from Northwestern University. His first job after graduation was at a school in Indiana for $40 a month. Pfingst thinks hrs longev­ ity is due partly to heredity. His mother lived to 97 and her parents lived into then cM)'s. I he other factor Pfingst sa\s is his lifestyle. "I've avoided bad habits.' Pfingst told a writer from The National Council on the Aging. I don't drink and I don't smoke. I also take my time t<> do what I want to do. I \e never been in a rush. I also take a walk each day." He has a regular Monday morning golf match with an Hs-year-okl friend. Pfingst said we pla\ until we re tired. We're usually on the course by in the1 morn­ ing and play the back nine so we won't be rushed." Pfingst's moderate lile- st\le has kept him acti\e and in good health he has no hearing or sight prob­ lems and he walks with a quick. sure stride. Ever\ 1 uesday. Pfingst works m a senior center in Winnetka. a Chicago, suburb near Evanston. He keeps track of the biog­ raphies ol the center's more than 7(H) members, writing them in longhand. Pfingst still enjoys read­ ing the classics and the Bible and plays bridge sev­ eral times a week. A widower for ten years. Pfingst lives in a Presby­ terian retirement home, where he enjoys the com­ pany of the other residents. What you need most in later life are friends." he said, "and it's something you have to work at I'm a very wealthy man because 1 ha\e so many friends." * ** I.N A STUDY done be­ fore. enactment of legisla­ tion raising the mandatory retirement age to 70 in the private sector. David J Hkerdl and Raymond Bosse of the Veterans Administra­ tion Outpatient Clinic in Supplies volunteers from McHenry County college, the Senior Citizens council and senior Boston found that 12.8 per­ cent of the men sampled planned never to retire. These persons were gen­ erally older, presently un­ married. less likely to face compulsory retirement, had higher income, educational and occupational levels and claimed to be healthier. They did not reject retire­ ment because of financial •worries but because they found their work self-fulfill­ ing and were able to con­ tinue because of the lack of retirement regulations. I he study concluded that greater numbers of other able workers would forego retirement il given the choice and if pressures to retire were eased. * * * PEOPLE NEARING 65 who are not already re­ ceiving "Social Security benefits should contact a Social Security office two or three months before their, birthday to make sure that tfiey will have Medicare protection the month they reach to I hey should do this even if thev are not retiring, be­ cause Medicare is available to full time workers. Failure to apply may result in delays of from one to three months and as much as a year if a person fails to apply within three months after their 65th birthday month. THOUGHT FOR FOOD By G0UID CROOK Holiday Eggnog There are many views on how to achieve the perfect eggnog To use the whole egg or just the egg yolks or just the whites whipped to peaks There are different views on which spirits make the best nogs too. Try the following recipe for a really ex­ citing version of eggnog 8 egg yolks -- beaten until light and lemon-colored. 3/4 cup sogar -- beat into egg yolks until well blended. 1 bottle bourbon and 1/2 cup rum -- stir into above mixture. Now pour this mixture into a covered container and let stand overnight or until ready to serve. At this point fold iri 1 pint heavy cream whipped and then fold in the 8 egg whites which have been beaten with a pinch of salt until peaked Serve in mugs If you like, garnish with a few curls of chocolate shave with a vege­ table peeler from a semi-sweet bar Serves about 15 I might add that eggnoQ can be as potent or gentle as you like, depending on the amount of spirits used -- so decrease the amount given if it suits you better What An Investment I t s rea l l y too had q person can ' t inces t in income taxes they re one th ing y ou can he sure u i l l con t inue to go up Greetings To You In Many Languages HAPPY NEW YEAR (English) GLUECKLICHES NEU JAHR (German) ONNELISTA UUTTA VUOTTA (Finnish) GODT NYTT AR (Norwegian)* A GLICKLUCH NIE YUOR (Yiddish) FELIZ ANO NUEVO (Spanish) SZCZESLIWEGO NOWEGO ROKU (Polish) BONNE etHEUREUSE ANNEE (French) .

Today's Youth BY PATRICK DUDGEON Study In Quiet / Students need a place to study that is comfortable and removed from the regular noise of the rest of the family. Take the initiative and establish a study center for yourself Find a desk or part of a table that you can utilize. It should have enough surface space and leg room and stand at a comfor­ table height for the individual w ho's going to be using it most Try and locate your top space near a window where the light can enter naturally over your shoulder If you are having trouble finding a desk or study table, check the secondhand furniture stores. Auctions are also a possibility Typing tables and metal school desks are sometimes available at school and office furniture stores Com­ pare before you buy1 You could easily make your own desk from plywood or a door supported by a two-drawer metal file cabinet Remember to plan for some bookshelves within easy reach of your desk Boards with bricks or cinder blocks are easy to arrange, or. shelves can hang well when supported by brackets MAKING "8 V. ..Rocky Mountain powder snow is some of the driest and lightest in the world and an average 350 inches of snow falls at most resorts during the seasons.
