» V . - . Community Lends Hand To Fire Victims «*•* fi y as 8»P^ i % I laindealer hotos The Art Sagel family of ten, including parents and eight children, were driven from their blazing home at 2611 Orchard Beach drive, McHenry, last Saturday noon, taking with them only the clothing they were wearing. ^ Within a short time the two-story building was ablaze. When firemen left three and a half .hours later, the interior was entirely gutted and only the framework stood. A flooded oil stove was blamed by Assistant District Fire Chief, Glenn Peterson, for the fire. - The Sagels have found another home in the Spring Grove area, where they are moving this week. In the five days since the fire, generous residents of the community have opened their hearts to the stricken family. Huge quantities of wearing apparel, food and household goods have been streaming into the Plaindealer office and money has been put into a special account at the McHenry State Bank.

Time To Spare By GERALD ANDREWS - Retirement Adviser Beginning a New Business Recently a friend came to me with a problem. Seems he's been having second thoughts about a small retail business he set up for himself after retiring because he wanted to be independent. His problem: Would he have been wiser to have looked around for a partner to join him in the business? He thinks the answer might be "yes" because, between expenses and labor, the enterprise has turned out to be a bigger undertaking than lie had anticipated. Well, I never give advice in a case like this. Only a lawyer can speak with real authority, and then he needs to take a long look at all the factors involved. That's because every business has its own unique aspects. However, I did mention a few abstractions that have general validity, the idea being to give my friend some preliminary facts from which to form his verdict. The question here is the ownership of a small business, something that should be decided at the start, instead of waiting for difficulties that might force a change in midstream. Personal ownership has the virtue of making you the boss. On the other hand, a partner can be of critical assistance if there's any doubt about your capacity to handle the enterprise. He can add both funds and experience, not to mention hard work. Then there's corporate organization. Stockholders are a source of money for big projects. And corporations have limited liability with regard to debts, unlike individual owners and partners, who have to make good the deficit themselves if the business runs into financial difficulties. One drawback with a corporation is that it is susceptible to regulations set by the g o v e r n m e n t . A p a r t n e r s h i p also requires certain basic legalities, while individual ownership permits the greatest degree of freedom to decide aSd to act.
