PAGE 13-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1973 Proclamation Whereas, the sacrifices of those who have lost their lives, their health, or their livelihood as a result of their military service are rightly the concern of all citizens; and Whereas, the annual sale of Poppies by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion offers an opportunity for the people of this com­ munity to express fyeir solicitude for those unfortunate persons who have paid more than their share of the cost of freedom; and Whereas, Poppies are assembled by disabled veterans, and the proceeds of this worthy fund-raising campaign are used exclusively for the benefit of disabled and needy veterans, and the widows and orphans of deceased veterans, in the desire to "Honor the Dead by Helping the Living"; therefore I, Joseph B. Stanek, Mayor of the City of McHenry, do hereby urge the citizens of this com­ munity to recognize the merits of this cause by contributing generously to its support through the purchase of Pop- "'CHARLIE BROWN" There are only two more chances -- on May 11 and 12 - to see Peppermint Patti and the other members of the "Peanuts" gang in the PM&L production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."

Joseph B. Stanek Mayor : m WE I and get more from the GOOD YEARS t ^ -jP) Editor's Quote Book "Success is the reward for accomplishment." --Harry F. Banks A couple of years ago a very close friend of mine and his wife retired and moved into a retire­ ment "palace." I tried to warn them back then, but he said he knew what he was doing, and he worked all his life so he could retire and live on the "grand scale." What he failed to realize then were several important facts of life: rising prices, the cost of living and rising taxes. This couple had always lived in a lovely, modest home in a nice quiet neighborhood -- until they retired. Then they sold the lovely home, took most of their money out of savings accounts, and pur­ chased a very large, luxury home in an expensive part of town. After a year in their new home the joy of living in a "palace" quickly faded. They realized most of the rooms were hardly ever used, the property taxes were "out-of-sight," the neighbors were much younger than them, and with totally different backgrounds, and tfie utilities were just too ex­ pensive. Plus, prices at super­ markets and restaurants had rock­ eted even higher! They decided it was time to sell, but they found that the state of the economy wasn't bringing buyers to the door. Only recently they were, able to sell it, and they did get a little more for the home than it cost them to build it. But, they lost much more than the little bit more they received for the house, because of the tremen­ dous upkeep involved. As my friend told me, "That sure was a terrible way to begin retirement." And I agreed with him. Now they are back in a modest home and really do ap preciate it. We all agreed that it is better to plan wisely for retire­ ment than just jump into it. 5618 NORTHWEST HWY.
