It's probably a jolly good thing that kids have to go back to school, Another month of their kids eating purple pop- sidles and green apples, falling off bicycles and in love, and parents would begin screaming arid running rapidly in ever- decreasing circles. Mothers heave a vast, soft sigh of pure joy when they shove the kids out the door on open- ing day of school, and sit down in that beautiful, quiet kitchen for that first cup of coffee they've had in peace for two months. Re-opening of school is thrilling for teachers, too. Their egos are badly flattened from being treated like every- body else. They're weary of giving orders to kids (their own) who ignore them. They're on stage once more, with all those eager faces turned toward them. They • can't wait to take that first deep breath of schoolroom air, composed of the beloved odors of chalk dust, floor wax and warm humans.

It seems like tiiree- quarters of an hour since it was the middle of June and I was building a picnic table. This was the summer in which I was determined to make some- thing of myself, or busy my posterior in the effort. I planned to fish, golf or swim every day, get myself in perfect trim, write a book, stay ahead of the weeds in the flowerbeds, and prepare all my course out- lines for September. I haven't been fishing since trout season opened in May. I doubt if I could find my way around the golf course, it's so long since I saw it. I gave up swimming early in July when I nearly drowned while trying to get out to a raft 12 feet away. My belly has gone from a solid 30 to a pudgy 32. I haven't written anything except my name on those government store slips. The weeds wavelike sap- lings, And I didn't even know what was on the course when school started. Oh, well, I like September better anyway. It's easier to go to work every day and tell a lot of kids what to do than it is to be home every day and have your wife telling you what to do. Like mow the lawn, get off your big fat tail, get a loaf of bread, take the kids for a swim, stop smoking so much and when are SEPTEMBER PERM SPECIALS $750 for $625 $10.00 for $8.49 $12.50 for $10.00 With each $10 Perm, you receive free, a Wrist Saver Brush or a Can of Professional Spray.
