Because each Sunday is a celebration of this glorious day. t ach Sunday is a recognition that God stepped forth triumphantly on this Lord’s day. but each one de mands the best that is in us and j gives us an opportunity of claiming for him the victory of a new resurrection, a new hope and a new purpose for hie.

The guardsmen are considered among the best equestrians in all of Italy. By GERALD ANDREWS - Retirement Adviser Amateur into Professional i We often advise working 1 men and women to cultivate I a hobby of some sort, to get I their minds off their daily oc cupations. And, of course, no i one denies the personal benefits that those non-vocational in terests provide. As they say, it’s better than therapy. Yet, there’s another good reason for a hobby, one strictly vocational. You may be able to keep it going as a family budget booster when you re tire. So many Americans have made this transition that I could mention countless ex amples. There’s the man who stops making furniture simply for fun, and adds the profit motive. There’s the lady who, after years of baking pies for the church social, begins to bake them for a local store. And so on. You’ve probably met these individuals in my previous columns. But, you may be thinking, these sound like professionals rather than amateurs. So they are. However, the point 1 want to make is that they weren't good when they retired. Some " <^o Titi i ? 'W wa r , -J "i , »// V | "Aren’t you going to say good night to mother?” Time To i Spare needed to polish their skills before they felt qualified to en ter the market in search of a little extra cash. In other words, if you’d like to be a professional in your field, but doubt you can make it on your own, you still don’t have to drop your ambition. You might have a try at what you can do under expert guid ance. Instruction shouldn’t be hard to find no matter where you live. All the states and most cities provide facilities for vacational training. In many a small town, the YMCA or some other group performs the same function. Failing personal attention, you may find a correspondence course fills the bill. The best thing is to consider your particular situation be fore retirement. That way, you simply move what you're doing on the side into the center of the picture. If you never had the time while on the daily nose-to-the grindstone routine, you’ll find the door still open in the form of training for retirees. It’s rarely too late to think of moving from amateur to professional.
