Many citizens who retire from
the world of busii
1 desire some
(that will add _
meat retirement i ________
tty benefits. Many, however, just
want something to do, something
that will provide “busy" hours to
offset the possible boredom of
having nothing to do.
If you are retired, and restless,
examine your talents. Count the
many experiences of your life.
Put them down on paper. When
you get them down, you will most
likely determine that they have
value and may be worth passing
on to someone else.
One man who retired after a
business career which sent him
to the far corners of the earth
now spends many enjoyable hours
telling others about life in Viet-
nam. Japan, Germany and other
parts of the world. He is not a
paid lecturer, but a guest speak-
er to small groups—civic clubs,
boy scout troops, or aay other
small local organisation He makes
small talk, then answers what-
ever questions he can in an in-
foritul chatting session. He finds
retirement far from boring.
In one community, a retired
carpenter lends his services to
the “Toys For Tots” program,
helping to repair and refurbish
used toys so that less fortunate
children in the community will
have a merrier Christmas. He
works when he wants to, when
he can, and enjoys every moment
of it. He has made many new
friends.
Many, retired business women
find a new outlet for new friends
and for activity as they offer their
services to charitable organiza-
tions and activities.
Retirement years are happier
years when there is something to
do, something to think about,
something to anticipate for to
morrow.
