S8 the f< byCarlRiblet Jr. Q. "I retired three months ago because I have a little heart condition. It was a terrible mistake because I am completely bored and feel useless. I have tried to get back to fishing and golf, but it's not like being busy at something important. Do you have a usuggestion that would help me to start living a useful and contributing life again?" - W.R.L. A. The only mistake would be if W.R.L. doesn't solve his problem, a problem that many men have when they retire. There are so many things he can do that are useful. I couldn't list them all on this page. „ He can get a part-time job in something he might have always wanted to do but never did. For example: he can go to art school to learn to paint. Winston Churchill ana Dwight Eisenhower were painters late in life. He can teach others -- perhaps elders - to do well anything that he himself does well, such as fishing or even golfing. Lots of elders might like to take up golf if they had a way to learn from an elder. W.R.L. could learn how to do any number of things that require skill and that pay wages or fees for die performance of those skills. A hardware dealer down the street from me walked away .from his successful retail business and left it in charge of his son. He was a pudgy retiree and flabby, to boot. He had a medical okay after an examination and then started out on the project of becoming skinny and tough. The first month he walked a mile a day. After two years he is up to eight miles a day and he loves it. He said he would never miss his daily e x p e d i t i o n . > ? h e camaraderie of passers-by who have gotten to know him is a particularly enjoyable dividend. Autoists honk and wave* back 'Best of all besides die feeling of being extra fit at 68," he told me, "is that I eat whatever I want whenever I feel like it Snacks and beer, and my wife nearly always has a cake or a pie baking. I walk and eat and stay thin. It's the best thing I ever did." Q. "My husband had surgery and I went over the bill, finding a charge of $2 for pills that costs two cents at the drug store. They charged him for an enema he didn't have and they refused to itemize a total of $235 in other charges. Medicare and the insurance company between them paid all but $6. "When I called the company, the woman on the phone said, 'What are you complaining about? The mil was paid, wasn't it?' She didn't get the point. Paid or not, it should have been itemized. Nobody cares any more about honesty as long as they get theirs.** - Althea B. A. Althea should have been more insistent with the insurance company in the matter of itemization.

In the autumn or spring when you |ust want to take the chill off the room your family is using, you don't have to go to the expense of firing up your whole heating system A Kero-Sun Portable Heater delivers enough heat to make an average-size room really comfortable There Is another way in which a Kero-Sun Portable Heater can save you money. Here's how: Kero-Sun Portable Heaters let you focus heat where you want it when you want it You can keep one room cozy all evening and turn the thermostat down for the rest of the house This is especially important when you realize the average oil or gas central heating system is often no more than 45% to 65% fuel efficient The reason: a high percentage of heat is lost in the chimney, ducts or pipes tn contrast.

Nobody has to pay a tiMfrom a hospital for sundry itfems unless and until they are itemized. Touchiest of all about hospital bills are the pharmacy charges. I am looking at a bill right now dial reads: "Pharmacy .... $37." And again in the next pages, "Pharmacy .... $29" ana twice more on a five- page MM It is elementary in accounting that those who do not support their charges with itemization are tempted to cheat. That fact has been proved ova- and over again In court in fraud cases. Any pharmacist who attempts to get out of itemizing charges is suspect in my eyes as a possible crook. Q. "I want to write my congressman and senators, but I can't do so until I know their addresses in Washington, D.C. How can I find them?" - as ever, Mrs. G. - -vj ^ j. A. Mrs. G. can look in.her local telephone directory under "U.S. Government." She will find the numbers of local offices for all three of the lawmakers. She can ask the local administrative assistant for the addresses. Then she can write to them direct. Easy! "I plan to retire at the of this year and I am making all sorts of plans about it. What do I do about Social Security? Do they automatically put me on the payroll from keeping track of my records all of the years I have been paying into it? " - • Martha G. A. There is nothing automatic about going on the Social Security monthly benefit rolls. Martha should formally apply for her benefits now, or no later than next month if she will retire in January. She should ether all information about r employment, including her SS withholding forms or records. Then, with a SS number, birth certificate or a church record of birth or baptism recorded before she was five years old, her W-2 form for 1979 and 1980, and- or 1979 and 1980 self- employment tax returns, bring them to her nearest SS office, or make the application by phone. If by phone, the rest of the process can be completed by mail. It's easy to phone the SS office. Just look it up in the phone directory under "U.S. Government." Q.

Joyce, at 58, is too young for Social Security benefits unless she is disabled. Social Security was never meant to be all things to all people Does the need more than one car?

Student Immunization Easier For Schools Illinois' school districts should find it somewhat easier this year to meet the new, higher compliance level for student immunizations and health examinations after an impressive effort during the 1980-81 school year. Districts, by law, must report at least 90 percent c o m p l i a n c e w i t h immunization and health examination requirements among students for the 1981- 82 school year and each year thereafter, or have 10 percent of their state school aid withheld until the level is reached. The minimum level was 80 percent for the 1980-81 school year, but 93, percent of the district* reported i tbeynhad^ surpassed f that mark and already had at least 90 percent compliance. State law requires that all children entering public and non-public schools be protected against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), measles and rubella, either by vaccination or from having had the diseases. The law also stipulates that students who are entering schools for the first time, or who are beginning fifth or ninth grades, must have rsical examinations, iccording to the Illinois Department of Public Health, 90 percent of the children in Illinois need to be immunized against the sue diseases in order to prevent 4 epidemics. "We're off to a fine start because everyone did a splendid job making sure students were protected during the 1980-81 school year. State Superintendent phys Ac of Education Donald G. Gill said. "The job should be easier this year, but that does not make it less important." "The cooperative spirit that has prevailed so far, among parents, schools and health officials, can continue to assure protection for our children from these major childhood diseases." School districts are required to report their compliance levels on Oct. 15 to- the State Board of Education each year. • • • * k - * * •' Neither wealth nor position makes a man a gentleman; neither does .Pr«vent a man from being a gentleman," ^ -- THE GAS PUMP Exhaust Restrictions Check for clogged, bent, or dented exhaust pipes, tail pipes, and muffler.
