Former Resident Is
"Retirement Counselor"
When la you thi tk you
Should retire from work or
business? A former . Goderich
resident' bas established him -
1f as an at,Xthgrity on this and
the subject of an article in
n recent issue of MacLaren's
Magazine.
-Be is J. D. Thomas, 65, who
In the early 194bs was District
Manager of 'Imperial Oil Limit-
ed with headquarters at Gode-
ich. He was a member of the
tended .St. George's Anglican
Church. Among his interests
were conservation, promoting
eoderich industry through the
now defunct Boars} of Trade
wand' organizing an industrial
canvass for Victory Loans in
World War II.
The article in MacLean's is
,ras follows:
J.• D. Thomas, at 65, is a
stocky, aggressive 'former cop
poration executive who retired
into a"second career five years
ago and is now about to start
his third career—advising peo-
ple not to retire at 65. He
thinks they should retire at 50.
Thomas left his own iob with a
large oil compan!,;, when he was
60. After two years • of work-
ing on his own to introduce
investors to good investments,
they'll never do anything. Ii a
plan is gQila . to leave one job -
at 50 jut, to go to work for
someone else he 'night as well
stay where he is, but if he has
something to do that will bring
him satisfaction — public ser-
vice, for instance, ,er going back
to university, as one retired
gentlentanQ I know did, to be-
come a clergyman—then the
time to do it is when he reaches
50.
"The way to do it is by care-
ful planning. A than should
begin planning for his retire-
ment with his first pay cheque.
He should learn all about his
company's pension plan—I once
surveyed an office and found
that only one percent of the.
workers knew what their pen-
sion plan was all about. He
should find out if he can con-
tribute more to it than the
minimum. He should buy a
for--it-gr
and preparing to sell it when
he no longer needs as much
room. He should ' invest sold
money in insurance coverage
land, if -he can afford it, some
secure stocks. By the time he's
50 and his family expenses are
declining he should be able to
assemble all his assets arid re=
tire with an adequate income
for the rest of his life. Then
he can tell his boss to go to
hell and start doing thethings
he's always wanted to."
J. D. THOMAS Mars has rusted! The red

he started his second career caused by the oxidation of iron
•
by joining with two partners on his su faee—in other words,
co found Associated Senior Ex- rust. Th red planet is slight-
ecutives of Canada. ASEC is ly more th n half tire diameter
a Toronto management consult- of Earth. .The atmosphere is
ant firm that uses retired ex- thin with some, though little,
ecutives, business and profes oxygen. ,The presence of liv-
-- , sional men to give small—and
1 some big—businesses seasoned
advice. This winter, Thomas
hopes to start his third career
as a "retirement counselor."
He and his partners in AF,EC'
•-are planning a three-month lec-
turecoarse for executives in
--,..-the -• fine oil : is off, gra�cefu•
quitting work, an,dT`bureati to
which men faced with retire-
ment problems will be able to
write for advice. Thomas in-
tends to advise them to retire
at 50. Here's why:
"Staying .on the job -past the
age of 50 is the first step to a
heart attack. In the old days a
man could mature gracefully
into the chairmanship of the
'board, but.today. with the pres-
'sure - of modern communica-
; tions and world travel, an ex-
ecutive reaches his prime in
i his early 4bs and by the time
' he 'reaches 50 he's over the
hump. The only way a man
jovert 50 can get a promotion is
i to own 51 percent of the stock
iof the company he's working
for.

TEMPERANCE SPEAKER
HOW MANY ALCOHOLICS ARE
IN GODERICH? IS QUERY
"I do not think anything is
going to be done about this
problem of alcoholism until the
mass of people rise up in re-
bellion and say something must
be done about it," said C. C.
Miller, London, addressing the
congregation of Victoria Street
United Church last Sunday.
"Having been in hundreds of
high schools and talked to hun-
dreds of thousands of students,
I find they do not' know the
truth about alcohol, ' because
they have never been • taught.
We have got to the place where
father and mother don't, either.
Until I went to work for the
to Temperance re
15' years ago, I did not know
either.
"Nobody' knows or can tell
how many alcoholics' there are
in Goderich: The Alcohol • Re-
search Foundation says there
are 225,000 alcoholics ,in Can-
ada—only a ,guess and a very
conservative guess; in plain
English a pejpr guess. There
are far, far more than that."
Mr. Miller, for some eight
years working in Northern On-
tario,' now is Federation field
secref'ary for the southwest part
of the province.
"The biggest task for the
Federation and , the Christian
Church and people," he said,
"is to become in a two -fold
sense aware that there is an;
alcohol problem and to be will
ing to do something about it.
"The personnel manager of a
ing creatures on Mars seems big industrial concern in Lon -
unlikely but many astronomers don said: 'We have no prob-
believe that plants may grow lem. - Three or four men are
there. drinking too much. We have
4'
reported ; them``"to the union
and they are to be fired, and
the union will not object.'
"Firing a man .from his job
is not, a solution to the alcohol
prpblem. Putting a man ' or
woman in jail because they are
drinking is not an answer, eith-
er, and the sooner the govern-
ment in Ontario and elsewhere
realizes that the better. We do
need hospitals and clinics for
these people.' Froin my' observ-
ation, the person who' becomes
an alcoholoc is a sick person
before he drinks at all; it just
takes alcohol to bring it out.
Doctors know that an increas-
ing number • of alcoholics are
disposed to alcoholism before
they, drink at a11' -
.
"There is in Toronto a doc-
tor, Gordon Bell; an' authority
on this business of alcohol. He
made this statement: 'Russia
does not need to spend any
mpney on manufacture of
bombs to take Canada. All
they need to do is wait a few
years more and we • will be so
weakened, mentally and physic-'
ally, by our constant consump-
tion of alcohol, they will be
able to step' in and take over.',
"The coach of a high school
team warned his players -against
drinking, but on the day of a
crucial game, a cup at stake,
he smelled liquer on the breath
of one of his best players, who
explained: 'My father gave me
liquor because he said on a
cold day I could play better.'
The -coach told him he had to
sit out the game.
"We have got to know the
facts about alcohol, and that is
what the Temperance Feder-
ation is trying to do. I believe
75% of drinking by teen-age
people comes from homes. If
I went �to parents who drink
and told them they. should not,
they would say it is none of
nay business, but I have a
dream: If Hitler could change
the face of the German nation
by his teaching of youth, why
cannot we do it concerning the
liquor attitude? A parish
priest who was in charge 'of a
Sudbury church told me he
asked the school children to
pray that their parents would
not drink.
"To me, religion is the an-
swer to the alcohol problem.
Did you ever see a drunken
Jew? Not that there are none,
but Rabbi ,Feinberg says the
reason there are so few is be-
causi'r'of their religion and their
compact family life.
"God has the answer, and
the Christian life is the answer
to every problem. fou' can
leave this church assured that
God has the answer to your
problem. 'Knock and it shall
be opened to you; ask and ye
