Ready or not, most Americans are forced to retire at age 65.
Fortunately, able retirees can still find profitable work if they
want it. One of the best ways is temporary help.
The unem
plovment rate I
is at one of the
lowest levels in
history which
means experi- *H
enoed, compe
tent help is g
hard to find. «- 'y
Consequently, A
temporary help |
offices are be
ing over" e '' cronin
whelmed by requests for their
services. Ours is not the only
company to enlist the large
wealth of talent among re
tirees.
Jobs For Retirees
We find that many retired
people prefer temporary work
because it does not tie them
down to a regular schedule and
they can stop anytime to pro
tect their social security bene
fits and then come back the fol
lowing year.
The same company that
forces its employees to retire
at a certain age has no objec
tion to using qualified tempo
rary workers who exceed their
employment age limits. After
all, they do not have to support
benefit programs for the re
tiree.
Another advantage to the
company is instant use of an
experienced expert who has the
maturity to make sound judge
ments.
Many retirees will find them
selves in supervisory roles and
often in positions that prove
more interesting than their for
mer jobs.
Most Skills In Demand
One difficulty for retirees, of
course, is in deciding where to

look for employment. Few
firms advertise for people over
65 in the want ads. Temporary
help firms are easy to find in
the yellow pages and the pro
gressive ones welcome retirees.
Although the temporary help
field uses almost every skill, the
biggest demand ' t for office
workers.
Here are some of the critical
needs: clerical supervisors, typ
ing, figurework, keypunching,
management planning, filing,
survey taking and surveying,
solicitation, selling or order
taking by telephone.
After you make up your
mind to become a temporary,
take these steps:
Draw up a one-page sum
mary of your skills and experi
ence to guide the temporary
help placemer.t manager.
Send the mmmary with a
brief cover 1 ;tter to an estab
lished temporary help office
and follow up by telephone
after a few days.
If you are not called in for
an intervie n and placement, try
another fffice. You shouldn't
have any difficulty if you have
ability.

firm that offers flexibility of

Withdraw
During Luff
SAIGON v - With the lev
el of ground fighting in Vietnam
light, the withdrawal of U.S.
troops ordered by President
Nixon moved into high gear
Sunday.
Infantrymen from the Army's
9th Division flew from Bien Hoa
Air Base to Ft. Lewis, Wash.,
while Marines from the 9th Re
gimental Landing Team board
ed ships in Da Nang for their
trip to Okinawa.
The' two units are part of a
25,000-man U.S.;troop withdraw
al that begun t July 8 and ; is
scheduled U> be completed by
the end (of August. The UjS.
Command has indicated ike
deadline may be beaten.
LiUle Pattern
There was little pattern in the
shellings and light skirmishes
reported mainly in the north
and in the area around Saigon.
Despite the 1011, some clashes
caused significant casualties.
One in Tay Ninh Province early
Saturday left seven Americans
dead and 18 wounded. Four
Americans were wounded when
enemy guns brought down a
UHI helicopter 42 miles north
east of Saigon.
The withdrawing Army unit is
the Ist Batallion, 47th Infantry,
the second battalion to be with
drawn from the 9th Division
which will lose two of its three
brigades under Nixon's plan.
The soldiers took helicopters
from the division headquarters
at Dong Tam 40 miles southwest
of Saigon in the Mekong Delta
to Bien Hoa just northwest of
the capital. The airlift was com
pleted by sundown with 800 men
put aboard jet transports.
The 2,BCj-man Marine contin
gent was taken by plane and
ship from Da Nang to Okinawa,
where it will be retained as part
of the Marine reaction force in
the Pacific.
The initial Marine withdrawal
from Vietnam is scheduled u> be
completed July 15.
In both the Army and Marine
units there has been some jug
gling of manpower, with recent
arrivals in Vietnanr transferred
to other units while veterans
who had completed mo3t of
their combat tours were brought
in to round out the units.

New Government
Is Sought in Italy
ROME —President Giu
seppe Saragat asked caretaker
Premier Mariano Rumor Sun
day to form another center-left
government in Italy.
After a talk with Saragat, Ru
mor accepted the mandate
"with reserve," an unusual
procedure which means he will
be sworn in only when he can
find a cabinet that provides the
government with a safe majori
ty in the Italian parliament.
Rumor, leader of the Chris
tian Democrats, said he would
start talks with leaders of other
parties Monday.
The 54-year-old former uni
versity professor, who has
served as premier for seven
months, accepted the bid from
Saragat eight days after a split
in the Socialist party, the other
major partner in the center-left
coalition, forced his government
to resign.
Seeking to increase its influ
ence in the nation's political
life, the Communist party added
to Rumor's difficulties by accus
ing President Nixon of having
arranged the Socialist split that
brought on the crisis during his
visit here last January.
According to a repiort in the
Communist daily L'Unita, Nixon
and Saragat got Industry Minis
ter Mario a Socialist
and a close frien(l of Saragat, to
lead a party revolt against So
cialist Foreign Minister Pietro
Nenni.
In return, L'Unita said, Tan
assi and his men deceived $4.8
million from American conserv
ative groups who want the
break-away Socialists to "com
mit themselves to a cold war
style, anti-Communist policy and
an all-out defense of the Atlantic
Treaty."
When Rumor formed Italy's
29th postwar government last
December, the center-left par
ties numbered three: the Chris
tian Democrats, the Socialists
and the small Republican party.
Now, following the Socialist
split, there are four parties in
the center-left area. The in-

In his task, Rumor is helped

Wrangling, restless young
sters in the back seat of a car
can ruin a vacation at the very
start. But Mother and Dad, by
suggesting amusing games for
boys and girls, can turn tedium
into child's play and allow the
"big wheel" behind the big
wheel to concentrate on the
road.
Long hours between stops
lend themselves to various di
versions that make traveling al
most as much fun as its goal.
The trick, according to "roads
scholars,!k I* .not !b take pas
sengers' mind#, off t}ie trip b«t
to put their minds on it.
"Bingo cards," for example,
are made by ruling boxes on
plain sheets of paper, then fill
ing each box with a drawing of
what children expect to sec that
day—such as a cowboy hat, a
cactus or a windmill. When
SaHt
their cards are all filled, the
youngsters check off the things
they see along the road. The
winner is the first person to
check off every square.
The game of Geography is
particularly appropriate for
travel. One person names a
place; the next person uses the
last letter of that place as the
first letter of a new one. Nam
ing places you have been to or
are going to on this trip adds
zest to the game.
License plate games, many
of which can be improvised
along the way as the youngsters
see other cars, are also pleasant
pastimes.
To parents and other grown
ups, however, taking a trip
isn't like playing games. Many
serious decisions must he made
involving such matters as routes
and reservations. The popular
Mobil Travel Guide rates food,
lodgings and sight-seeing ex
cursions throughout the United
States. The independently
made ratings are carefully re
vised annually. The guide, like
children's travel games, can
prevent your trip from becom
ing a trap.

As insects explore inside, the
spines point downward to pre
