When you retire, it will take some creativity to fill up that time and avoid being bored with yourself and others. Boredom sets in easily -- unless you have developed some non-work interests. In addition, remember that retirement naturally requires some substan­ tial changes in the relationships you've developed among your family and friends. Married couples approaching retirement should ensure each understands what the other wants to do with the "golden years." Plan on sharing the work and responsibilities related to retirement. While one person may have been doing a particular task throughout, an exchange of roles can be exciting and stim­ ulating. But take care not to spend "too much" time together. The bonus of having more time together af­ ter retirement can turn into an irksome burden if each partner is wondering where the other is every minute of the day. Search your area for hobbies that interest you. Find something that offers you a chance to con­ tinue to improve your skills and stay in contact with people. Plan for your leisure time the same way you looked ahead toward career goals. Above all, don't assume that retirement "means inactivity.

There's An Answer (l>\ Norman Vincent IV:tlt> tiild Kntli Stafford IVtile) Mistreats Her Mother Q. My problem is myself. I mistreat my mother. I am on my third husband, and through it all Mother has never given up on me nor my four children. She has suffered a lot, and I mean a lot, over us. She's a widow and has worked hard, saved and put out thousands of dollars on me and mine. I've never repaid a cent. When my troubles blow over I tend to turn on her and actually scorn her. She doens't deserve this.Why do I do it? A. You are fortunate to know that you are your own problem. So many people do not have that insight. The reason you mistreat your mother is plain immaturity and self-centeredness. You are acting in an infantile manner in that you want mama when you're in trouble, and you don't want mama when the trouble is over. You can correct this by assuming responsibility for your own actions, including financial obligations. Then you will no longer feel dependent and resentful. Try also to visualize your mother as a good and loyal friend, instead of thinking of her in terms of the mama-child relationship. Then you will come to appreciate her and have a normal relationship with her. Perhaps you might find help in our booklet, Help Yourself With God's Help, which is on its way to you. Anyone wishing a free copy may write to us at Box 500, Pawling, N. Y. 12564. Can't Reach Him Q. My husband at one time was one of the kindest men you ever wanted to see. Never raised his voice. In his eyes I was perfect. All of a sudden he took sick and doesn't want me around him anymore. I was told to get ottt of his life and leave him completely alone. I can't reach him. We have been married forty-one years. Yes, it hurt very much. I've done nothing but cry and can't sleep. Up and down all night. Where did I fail? A. Your husband has apparently had an illness develop, of a sort that has changed his personality. It will do no good to cry about the matter and be up and down all night in a disorganized state of emotional reaction. Study your huband objectively. Get competent medical and psychological guidance, and perhaps you can find a cure for his abnormal mental state. Sorry She Signed Q. Fifty years ago I gave birth to a baby girl, being only seventeen years old, motherless and alone. Friends and the church cared for me and I felt obliged to do exactly as ordered-which was to sign a paper giving my baby up. They never asked me if I wanted to. I've been haunted by this and regretted it with many tears and have made countless attempts to find out where she might be. But no one is willing to help me. I am sick and nervous, and would like to at least know before I die. A. While it might possibly, though not for sure, make you happy to see your daughter again, remember that she is now fifty years old. She has her own life, family and associations. To suddenly have an elderly mother appear, whom she never knew and may not even know about, could very well produce a traumatic and disruptive situation. If you have the strength to do so, and certainly, being sensible, you do have it, we would counsel no interference. Put your "baby," now fifty years old, in God's hands and wish her every happiness. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. feale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564.
