SECTION 2-PAGE ,3LAINDEALER--WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1977 EDITORIALS Retirement Planning If vou wish to plan for retirement, a recent book might help. It's "The Complete Retirement Planning Book" by Peter Dickinson (E.P. Dutton, 1976). Dickinson explains how inflation affects fixed income retirement programs with charts and projections based on likely conditions twenty or thirty years hence. For example, if you need $1,000 a month today, and want to have the same buying power twenty years from now. you'll need to provide for a monthly income of $2,191. Thirty years hence you'll need $3,243! Dickinson savs people at age 45 should put about 70 percent of their capital in common stocks, real estate, management trusts, etc. When one reaches 65. however, he thinks half one's capital should be guaranteed money, only 25 percent in growth investments. ' >'>' 0 The important thing, the author believes, is to begin planning, which can help those who do add more life to their years, and more ' years to their life. Sports On TV A recent newspaper survey charged that ABC television has become the unquestioned leader in creating "phonysport" and selling sports' non-events to sponsors at a nice profit. Various sports events are billed as important, or as meaningful competition, when in reality they are nothing more than contrived hokum. But they make money-and so the process is likely to continue. Here again one comes face to face with the disturbing reality that most of the good television channels in the nation are not being used for the benefit of the people but for the benefit of corporations- -to sell, to sell whatever it takes. If it takes violence, sadism, raw sex, dishonesty, degeneracy, shock or vulgarity, the networks employ it-to get the biggest possible audience for their selling. The networks pay limited attention to uplifting the public's standards, educating public opinion, programming designed to improve manners and moral behavior. And sports' fare on television is now often phony showbiz not what most people consider competitive sport.

"The McCullom Lake Con­ servation club, an organization of interested property owners who volunteer time and energy to maintain and improve the condition of McCullom Lake, have proposed a dredging program for deepening portions of the lake, removal of weeds, and aeration of an area of the lake through the winter. State Marine biologists have recommended dredging the lake over the last couple of decades; however, the cost has always been prohibitive. "Recently we received quotes for the purchase of a dredge, donations from a local business man to supply various materials at cost or at no cost, to make the purchase of the dredge a possibility, if there is a combined effort by every property owner in the area. "The club has approached the Lakeland Park Property Owners association board to seek their permission to dredge, since the association owns 80 percent of the lake bottom, and also asked their aid in backing a bank loan in order to purchase the dredge, this loan to be paid back by securing pledges from every property owner. The proposed pledges would be a mere $6 per year for three years, and would cover the purchase price of the dredge, cost of operation and maintenance of the dredge, and also the insurance during the program. "We have now been informed that the newly elected board supports the dredging plan and have contributed several constructive financing proposals, and will place Uie program before its association members for a vote. However, it has come-to our attention that there is a lot of misinformation about the program. "The best way for anyone interested to learn all the details from the source, before making a decision on how to vote, is to attend the next scheduled meeting of the McCullom Lake Conservation club. May 19 at 8 p.m. at the Lakeland Park Community house. •' "Very truly yours.
