III. Observe Anniversary I' SENIOR CITIZEN S CORNER HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT MOST AMERICANS FAVOR EARLY RETIREMENT Regardless of the state of the economy and legislation which enables them to work longer, mOst Americans are still looking forward to early retirement. Studies and polls oontinue to indicate that the majority favor retirement before age 65 Some economists say that people who choose early retirement have confidence in their ability to Donald and Laura Hunter of Woodstock, former residents of the McHenry area, observed their 60th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at their home. The couple was married in • McHenry on Oct. 28, 1920, and had farmed in the McHenry and Woodstock area until retiring. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter are the parents of six children, James of McHenry, Alvera Wingate of Crystal Lake, Everett, Loretta Soland, Marie Payne and Robert of Woodstock. They also have 20 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. - supplement retirement income with pan-time employment. This could lead to problems, they say, as the economy worsens and the job market continues to deteriorate. Finding work in the so-called underground economy -- where retirees work occasionally for cash and do not re­ port their income -- should become more difficult as employment opportunities become fewer and fewer But. the economists add, the picture will change, perhaps has already started to do so. The uncer­ tain economy is sure to give more men the urge to work longer, reversing a trend that goes back almost to the turn of the century. In 1900, some 70 percent of men over 65 were working. The advent of Social Security in 1935 reduced the number to 50 percent and it stands today at about 20 percent. Women are expected to stay in the work force longer. Most have worked fewer years than man, been r paid less and thus will stay around longer to cam better pensions and more retirement income. What really h ppens, of course, will depend upon the economy. If it does not improve, workers will become increasingly less inclined to giVe up a regular paycheck. If times get better, more and more, early re­ tirement will be the rule rather than the exception. So We Hear It takes hard work to make an easy living. •Enterprise, Hubbard.
