Hailing Herman •a Herman, the pup, seeks refuge in small chute In lawnmower before becoming convinced the two humans be adapted looked kindly on having him as a house guest. Herman is no dumb dog; he's a perky pup with a very early intuition for self preservation. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Turner of 2214 N. Orchard Beach road, McHenry, returned to their living quarters in Dow- county, Wis., recently to find the frightened mongrel as a guest. Indications were clear that the seven or eight-week- old dog, believed to be part Husky and part Lab, had been dumped there and probably had been abused. The Turners' first ad­ vances to the trembling canine were greeted with much apprehension. In fact, Herman did what came naturally - he sought safety in the nearest available spot, which happened to be a lawnmower. With ease, he entered the small chute in the front of the mower where the grass is thrown out. How Herman managed to turn around once inside, and return with his head out the end of en­ trance, remains a mystery to his benefactors. In the few days until their return to McHenry, Herman came to appreciate and show a trust for his new friends. In fact, in spite of his youth, he was beginning to respond to the command to shake hands., When the Turners and Herman parted, it was only with the agreement that a family member would provide a good home for the waif in the lawnmower. College Honors Oakley Among Top Journalism Grads ANDREW OAKLEY Andrew A. Oakley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur G. Oakley of 5901 N. Bunny avenue, McHenry, recently graduated second in his class with a Master's degree from Northwestern university's Medill School of Journalism in Evanston. Oakley, who received his Bachelor's degree from the same school in June last year, was one of six students to graduate with distinction after earning a 3.90 grade point average. Oakley also was elected to Kappa Tau Alpha, a ational \ journalism honorary society organized for the recognition and encouragement of scholarship in journalism. Members of the society are chosen by the faculty from students with highest academic standing from the graduating class. The Society of Professional Journalists has named Northwestern as one of pie three top jpurnalism schools in-thtf United States. Oakley has accepted his first job with a St. Joseph, Mich., 36,665 circulation newspaper, known as the largest independent daily paper in Michigan. by Carl RiMet Jr. Q. - "My husband and I are each 67 and we now have enough money/.to retire in a modest way. We would like to leave this big city and go to a retirement community. The whole country is our oyster, so to speak. We can go anywhere -- the sun belt states, the colder climates - anyplace. But the problem is how to decide. We have traveled a lot over the years and we have seen much of our beautiful country. We can't make up our minds whore to go. Do you have any ideas?" -- Theresa Q. A. -r- I have lots of ideas, but they are pecuiliar to me, not necessarily something Theresa and her husband would like. They apparently wish to go to a small place. That's a good idea if they can wean themselves away from all the conveniences of the big city. If they go to a town of, say, 10,000 people, there may not be the vesy best of hospitals in the town should they need to go to the hospital someday. A plus is that housing in small towns generally costs less than housing in big towns. The retirement com­ munities such as Sun city and Leisure World may be just ideal for Theresa and husband. But such places seem lacking to some older citizens -- lacking in privacy, lacking in association with the young and very young. I have a • friend who said to me after visiting Green Valley, Ari#", "The thing I missed when I visited friends there was that I never saw any children, no kids riding their bikes across the lawn. And there was no cemetery. Where do they bury them when they die?" Another friend I visited at a retirement city, says his saddest moments are when new-found friends pass away. "You just get to know somebody and then they die. You always have to make new friends." I'll tell what I want to do, for what it's worth. I'd like to move out of this city and go to the northwest -- to any number of towns of 5,000 and less. That's my idea of a retirement town. But I'll prqbably never dq it because of what I "<ib for a living. I have to be where I have access to research material and where the mail delivery is at least normal -- only two to five days to receive a letter after mailing. z GOLDEN AGE DAY Golden Age day, a day set aside at the State fair to commemorate the elderly, will be celebrated Monday, Aug. 10.

Betty Nvlliday 720-0*30 Beverly Martin 344-5332 <?& & TENDER AND MEATY RIBS COOKED IN OUR OWN HICKORY FLAVORED SAUCE • ••• • -v 65 Theresa can buy a book that will help her. It is the "National * Directory of Retirement Residence: Best Places To Live When You Retire." It is published by Frederick Fell Publishers, 386 Park Avenue South, New York 10016. She can also write to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC., and ask about retirement villages. And she and her husband can study the map of the United States, selecting from it the names of places where they think * they might like to live. Then they write the Chamber of Commerce in each town, being cautious, however, to realize that "• chambers of commerce tend to brag and exaggerate the qualities of the towns they serve. Q. -- "I have arthritis and I have trouble with the door knobs in my house. I tried taping the knobs, but it doesn't help very much, because my hands hurt when I have to turn them. Have you any knowledge of something I could do to make it easier for me to go in and out of the rooms in my house?" -- Michael H. A. -- Sure. Replace the round door knobs with door handles that are levers. They are found in hardware stores and lumber yards under the description of "French Door Handles." When Mike has them at­ tached, all he will have to do is rest his fist on the top of the handle and push down. The door will open and when he pulls the door closed, the handle will move back into place. Our grandfathers had them. They are expensive. Q -- "I am a widow of 56. I've been job-hunting with no success My Social Security will expire when my son is 18 in October. My health in­ surance will expire in June^ (coverage from mjR husband's employment.) Can you advise me where to turn? I need to work." Jane W. A -~ Jane can probably get a job if she looks in the' right places. She can go to a temporary help agency such as Kelly Girls or Manpower^ Many, many people in laU porary help services; some as old as 75. Q. -- "My husband has been unemployed since last November. In April he had open heart surgery. He would like to know if he can obtain help from Workman's Compensation and how would he apply for it?" -- Ruth Z. A. -- If Ruth's husband was separated from his job at the time he was taken to the hospital, and if the surgery was not required as a result of his employment, I would think he cannot obtain Workman's Compensation. However, there's only one way to find out -- telephone the state compensation office and ask. Q. ~ "I would appreciate getting some information from you on a problem I have, which is ttuS there is constant ringing in my ears." -- Malcolm J.K. A -~ Malcom can leajrn what may be wrong, anything/by having 'an otolaryngologist (ear„ doc­ tor) check his ears. Ringing in the ears is not usual with older people. Q. -- "My mother is a widow of 75 who has been a resident of the U.S. for 33 years, although she is not a citizen. Neither she nor my Dad have ever contributed to Social Security. Is she en­ titled to any old age or medical benefits? Can she buy insurance from a regular insurance com­ pany?" ~ Sarita S. L. A ~ Sarita's mother can buy insurance, if she qualifies, with any company that offers it to her. She is entitled to Medicare Part A - - hospital insurance -- but its cost is prohibitive, $89 a month for those not entitled to Social Security after age 65, with an increase of 10 percent a year every year thereafter. That can get pretty high. Q. - "I am trying to locate an insurance company that will sell us a policy that will cover home-nursing care. We wish coverage in the home, not a nursing-care facility. Can you advise me?" -- Ethel B. A. -- I do not recommend any specific insurance company. However, Ethel can get a line on insurance underwriters who may have the policy she wants, by asking her state's insurance commission office to give her the names of three or four compaijip that write such policies.
