Originally attempting to achieve a goal of $210,000 for the county, the organization surpassed the early goal by realizing a total goal of $220,352.16. This was a great victory as compared to last year when the goal was not met and human service agencies in McHenry county were forced to cut back on their programs. This year United Way will be able to carry out plans as each will get the allocation decided upon during the budget and allocations hearings last spring. The participating agencies are Youth Service Bureau for McHenry County, Sunset Manor, Salvation Army, McHenry County Senior Citizen's council, American Red Cross, McHenry county chapter; Fish of Crystal Lake, Woodstock Day Care center. Catholic Social services, Blackhawk Area Boy Scout council, Pleasant Valley Outdoor center, Sybaquay Girl Scout council, U.S.O., WaKiYa Council <^of Campfire Girls, Family Service and Community Mental Health for McHenry County, Northern Illinois S p e c i a l R e c r e a t i o n association, United Cerebral Palsy and Homemaker's Service for McHenry and Lake counties.

Senior SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORNER) HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT citizens should be ever-aware of the facts that face them as they enter the later years of their lives. For example, most economists esti­ mate that for retirees to main­ tain their pre-retirement life­ style within reasonable limits, they need a retirement income equal to 60-70 per cent of their earnings immediately preceding retirement -- plus adjustments for inflation. But even with recent im­ provements in Social Security benefits, this is a goal beyond the reach of most older Ameri­ cans who, on average, have half the income of their young­ er counterparts.

The economic situation of almost all older Americans is being complicated by the con­ tinual rise of inflation in this country. Inflation hits hardest on those who have fixed in­ comes. Since the elderly1 do not generally possess the. abil­ ity to increase their income in response to inflationary pres­ sures, they are perennially at­ tempting to cut back and catch ̂ up with little hope of ever breaking even again,.
