Fail arrives on the 23rd of September this year, rather late. From the 23rd on, until Decemoei 21, the days will continue io grow shorter and there will be more darkness than daylight every twenty- ours. i>«dLure provides a few clues as to the winter ahead. Birds usually pull out for the south with an uncanny knowledge of approaching cold weather. The caterpillar known as the Wooly Bear is a clue believed in by many. If one will take a look at him in the fall and note the width of his brown band in the center, that will forecast the winter, it is said. A wide brown band means a mild winter. Others say animals tend to grow a thicker coat before a severe winter, especially outdoor -farm animals It might be interest­ ing io try to prove one or pv>r4s ot 4hese theories. Checking A Mate Any man who thinks he s more intelligent than his wife is married to a smart woman. Wall Street Journal. Past 65 by Carl Riblet Jr. Q. "I went to a panel program for senior citizens that was made up of four' preachers from different churches around town. The theme was that the trouble with many older people is that they are not optimistic enough about life today and the future. They gave me the idea that they think that being optimistic in these days of trouble and inflation and all the other ills would help us live a better life when we are over 65. Do you think such an easy solution to the thinking about older people makes sense?" -- Harriet H. A Many people are cer­ tain they know better than anyone else how to get along in life, past 65 or earlier. We elders should remind our­ selves that we have been successful in making it this far and that maybe we know something the so-called experts don't know, that the question of pessimism versus optimism is prin­ cipally a matter of viewpoint. If you would like to know who in a group are pessimists, set before them a quart bottle that contains a pint of a favored beverage. The pessimists will say that the bottle is half empty. The optimists will say it is half full. Q. "My wife thinks she knows all about money because she has been han­ dling the family finances ever since we were married 46 years ago. She says that there are four kinds of money - paper money, minted money like coins, bank account money like in our checking account, and credit card money. I can agree with the first three kinds of money, but how can she call credit cards money? She won't explain." - Roger W. A. Roger's wife is smart. I would say that there is in­ deed such a thing as credit card money. It is different than the other three kinds of money. We don't have the credit card money unless we spend it, and when we spend it, we owe it - which is to say that credit card money is in fact an empty purse full of other people's money. Q. "My congressman finally came home this summer after two trips to .. foreign countries' T fail to* see how those trips help us voters. What do you think of those junkets for members of Congress?" - Alicia M. A. The return of congressmen from trips abroad, where they studied the conditions in the better hotels, sampled the better n a t i v e r e s t a u r a n t s , a n d studied mass transit from the soft seats of chauffeured limousines, makes me think of a flight of ducks - whirring of wings, fast travel, short stops for food and rest, and an awful lot of quacking. Q. "We are a retired couple of 68 and 70. We have always been happy, but lately we are dying of loneliness. Most of our friends have passed away or moved to be near their families We would like to be near our children but they live in California where it is too expensive for us. We live in New York State where it is very cold in winter. Could you advise us how we might move to California to be near our daughters?" - Mr. and Mrs. George B A. Great courage is needed to sell a home and move across the country The cost of moving is great. The problem of finding an af­ fordable house in California is a tough one. Some people can afford it.

I cannot advise anybody to move away from a lifetime in one part of the country where costs are somewhat reasonable and where there remain friends of years standing. I live in a wand climate - Tucson. The summers are unbearably hot. I have vowed not to spend another summer here. But, where to go? My friends are here. My daughter is in the east. I * want to be near her and her family, but it would be a costly move. Sure, it is cold in the east in wintertime. Cold weather, however, can be invigorating. One January day, I flew from Tucson to Edmonton, from a temperature of 76 to a temperature in Edmonton of 29 below zero. Believe it or not, I felt good during the week I was in that cold- weather Canadian city. California is a beautiful, wonderful place, where the summers are bearable and, in some areas, actually cool. But it costs like the devil to own property there. Perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Georges' daughters can find something there that they can afford. Q. "One sees so many parking spaces standing empty that are designated for the handicapped. Wouldn't it be a good idea to paint the words 'or 65 plus' beneath the wheelchair label? Sometimes I park in the handicapped spaces even though I'm not han­ dicapped." -- Dorothy K. A. No, I don't think those past 65 should have, special parking privileges. We don't need them unless we are handicapped. And by the way, Dorothy, watch out next time you park in a space marked with the wheelchair insignia. I know of a man who did so, and when he returned to his car he found the contents of a waste bottle had been dumped inside on his front seat. That's how an irate wheelchair parker might react to such illegal parking. Q. "I have a postcard collection with stamps on them that date back to the 1800s. I would like to sell them. Can you help me find., out what the collection is sell them?,WlBess P.L. fflfc, A. Bess should rakr the collection to a photocopy place and have them reproduced. Then, she can take the copies to a stamp dealer and ask his advice and how much he would charge tor an appraisal. Meantime, she can keep the cards at home in a safe place and take them out only when making final arrangements to sell. The stamped cards may be very valuable. My neighbor, a retired Wyoming cowboy, sold a bundle of stamped envelopes from Civil War days for what to me seemed a fantastic sum of money for old letters. Q - "Could you send me information about writing assignments available for free-lance writers?" -- Eugenia Von E. A. - The annual book titled "Writer's Market" is a must for anybody seeking in­ formation on where to make inquiries for writing assignments. I have used it for 40 years to great ad­ vantage.

As soon as I sit down to read, I doze for an hour or more, Is the candy called 'Energets' that is similar to 'No Doze' habit forming? I take one a day. Is there some other remedy for frequent dozing?" - John S. A. John should see a doctor and follow his advice. I am dead set against taking pills to stay awake.

Morrow, N.Y.j Some babies earn the reputation of being the town criers or screaming meemies from the day they move in and take over.

Some babies are bom h a p p y , l a u g h i n g , a n d jocular. Others seem shy, holding back their smile. Some are relaxed and will fall asleep in your arms or the minute they are put to bed. Others seem tense, ill at ease, and will fall asleep only when rocked or walked by Daddy. Some babies are with it, r e s p o n d i n g h a p p i l y a n d quickly from the start to every stimulus to which they are exposed. Others respond at a slow, tortoise pace, seemingly oblivious to the pitter-patter of sibling foot­ steps, slamming doors, and ringing telephones. Some can eat and sleep through anything without uttering a peep or batting an eye. Most babies have sunny dispositions if their needs are properly cared for and if their parents are rela­ tively happy. Others are born grouchy grumps, even in the happiest of homes. Nothing pacifies them. They gain a reputation even before leaving the hospital. In short, a baby's be­ havior is as unpredictable and variable as Old Ma Weather. Once you unde« stand your baby's behavk pattern and temperamen accept it as his own.
