May...Senior Citizen Month.,
Stewardship week set for May 19
May is Senior Citizens Month,
both statewide and nationally,
according to Mrs. Ida Perez.
For senior citizens, it's a time
they hold a special place of
honor.
For those not yet senior
citizens, it's a time for planning
that phase of life so it can be
healthy, happy, contented one.
In planning for older years,
several factors are important,
including financial, housing and
health plans, the agent noted.
-Make savings plans early.
This will help eliminate
financial worries at retirement.
-Plan a home that will adapt
to retirement living.
-Plan for transportation
needs. Choose a home near
shops, church and a medical
center.
-Develop interests or hobbies
with the idea of further
developing them during
retirement. Don't wait until
retirement to find them.
-Have periodic health
checks-a person's state of
health in later years.
We're all progressing, each
day, toward a time of life that
can be fulfilling—but only if we
make it so, the agent added.
Thoughtful planning for
retirement helps assure a
satisfying period of older years,
she added.

Soil Stewardship Week, a
nationwide observance which
emphasizes man's respon-
sibility to protect and conserve
soil, water, and other natural
resources, will be May 19 - 26
this year.
This years theme, "A Dif-
ferent Place," emphasizes how
the many changes now oc-
curring in the nation affect our
continuing responsibility to be
good stewards of the land.
All of our local churches in
the district are scheduling
special Soil Stewardship ser-
vices during this week.
The energy shortage, en-
vironmental pollution, and the
growing concern over land use
as examples of changes and
developments affecting the use
of America's natural resources.
We hope, that during Soil
Stewardship Week, millioas of
Americans will pause for a
moment to consider their
responsibilities for the
protection and use of the Lord's
earth.
The district, upon request,
will provide local churches with
programs, bulletin inserts, and
copies of this year's observance
booklet. The material was
prepared by the National Soil
Stewardship Advisory Com-
mittee of the National
Association of Conservation
District. The advisory com-
mittee is composed of chur-
chmen of different faiths.
