here writing a column •in

and nothing else, 1 would eve;to,
work very bard at it to be, AMY -
thing but peaceful, and I'm not
about to.
Back home, my lawn is burni
to a crisp, my roses are dyidg fthr
lack of water, my cat, with anY
luck, has Left for good, and eomg,
junkie has probably broken ,into
the house and stolen the color TV',
I don't care.
Out there somewhere, ppe
are hurtling along hot asphalt in
the heat, cursing the obetre.
perous kids in the back seat, and
wishing they'd never started* title
stupid trip.
Elsewhere, guys and dolls all
over the world are hustling and
sweating and trying to impress
each other, and pursuing the
ever -dwindling buck with mani-
acal intensity of purpose.
Everywhere, politicians are
cooking up new clouts for the next
session, or thinking up new ways
of saying: "Maybe yes, and
maybe no, and maybe maybe."
Somewhere, Arabs are killing
Jews, and Jews are killing Arabs
and Christians, in time-honored
custom, are killing other Christ-
ians.
Somebody is winning $30,000 in
the Something-Or-Other=Open
with a 24 foot putt, and somebody
else is losing it by missing a four
foot putt.
People are earnestly taking
virtually useless summercourses
which will fit them for practically
nothing.
Unexpected and unwelcome
visitors are piling in on "old
friends". The visitors unload two
surly kids, one ill-mannered dog,
and announce heartily: "Can't
stay morena coupla days.
Thought about gettin' a motel
room, but knew you'd be hurt 'f
we diden stay 'thyou." (Sound of
old friends' eye rolling.)
My son is in Paraguay, South
America, swimming a piranha -
infested river, or slouching
through the jungle, kicking
poisonous snakes out of the way,
or lying in a native hut, wracked
with pain by malaria.
My only daughter istrapped in
a box on the ninth floor of an
apartment building, in the heat,
with an 18 -month hell -on -wheels
boy clutching her sawed -Off
jeans, and a little sister in the
oven, ready to join him just about
on his second birthday and oh,
dear, isn't it awful. Imagine
• having two babies in two years in
these times. (Sound of Gran,
' gnashing teeth.)
And about all of these things,
all the hurly and the burly, all the
` muss and the fuss, all the Niggle
and piggle, all of the ever -lasting
human struggle to prove that
God's in His Heaven and all's
wrong with the world, or the
opposite, I don't care.
I just don't give,- a diddley-
dam'. Why not? Because, at this
time and in this place, I have
irrefutable proof that He is in His
heaven, and there ain't nobody
who could improve on the world
just as it is, right now.
It's a cool -hot perfect Canadian
day. Hot sun, cool breeze.

1 raise my 'head from the
typewriter, and roses lean to-
ward -me, a big, matronly maple
ruffles her bustles in the breeze,
like a lady caught in a body -rub
parlor.
.On the top rail of the fence, 10
feet away, two retarded robins
are singing, and making, over-
tures. A denuded lilac bush is
whiserping: "Yes, but wait 'til.
next year."
Along the back fence, the holly-
hocks stand, not row on row, but
in little groups, muttering to-
gether, tossing their heads in the
breeze, and looking down their
long, cool shouldersat the upstart
blue delphiniums, which bear a
gleam of miscegenation in their
eyes.
Just beyond them is a field of
uncut, late, late bay, bowing and
tossing and rippling like a .blonde
teenager who has just discovered
she just might be a beautiful
woman. •
Raise the eyes but one more
degree, and there, framed in
green foliage, is the deep -blue
beauty of the two=mile-wide bay,
with the high, rolling shoreline on
the other side, and the cottages so
tiny , that you can't see the
squalling, grunting, sweaty hu-
mans in and around them.
Ah, but it's lovely. And
peaceful. And lonely. Not lone-
some, but the good kind of lonely,
when you don't want another
human being, even a loved one, to
spoil the mood.
Maybe that's it. My Loved One
is away down the gravel road,
exchanging hysterical tales a-
bout their children with an old'
school friend.
Grandad, an incorrigible 83 -
year -old, is out belting around his
40 -mile mail route.
This morning, I saw a hawk.
When I was little, the chickens,
who were all psyched up, would
scuttle, the kids would all scream
with delight: "A hawk! A hawk"'
and the farmer would run in for
his shotgun.
Nobody even noticed this guy.
He looked like a skinny, ancient
kite, peering down for the dead
body of a Roman legionnaire,
perhaps. No chickens. No legion-
naires (I haven't paid my dues).
It was kind of sad.
Down in the Bay, there is a big
rainbow) 'trout just waiting `to
show me some tricks.' Yesterday,
I saw two partridge flush just
outside Grandad's `office" win-
dow. Tomorrow I'll see three
deer standing up by the fence,
looking curious.
Tomorrow I'll care about the
world again, and all the bad
things and good things happening
in it
But right now, at this time, in
this place, I don't care. God may
be out to lunch, as I frequently
suspect. But whoever is filling in,
for Him at this moment is doing
one helluva job, if you'll pardon
the expression.
PRETTY AS A PICTURE --Those weeds you fought In the, •
garden all summer can be used by your child to make a
pretty framed "bouquet" when they are dried and mounted',
CHILD'S PLAN

Dried weeds can
make 3-D picture
By BUROKER do
HUNTSINGER
If it is your job during the
sianmer to pull garden weeds,
then you know why most pea-
pie haven't any good thoughts
for the unwelcome wild plants
that invade tidy gardens.
But after summer, weeds
can be quite wonderful. A
walk along country maths or
roadways or past open fields
can easily supply abundant
material for attractive three-
dimensional pictures.
Gather a "bouquet" of dried
plants or grasses. These vary
from region to region, but look
for wild oats, teasels, foxtail,
goldenrod or mustard. Do
watch out for thorny or prick-
ly ones and avoid :poison oak
\ orare y ones
easy foto find.
Use a large piece of light
cardboard or heavy tagboard
for the back of your picture. A
smaller sheet of brown or yel-
low construction paper will
provide a blending back-
ground for beige or tan -col-
ored weed specimens.
Cluster your selection in an
arrangement such as the ac-
-companying illustration sug-
gests. Staple the bottom of the\
stems to the backing. This will
keep them firmly in place and
the staples will be hidden once

Tall 'd' show
sense of pride
By DOROTHY
ST. JOHN JACKSON
Certified Master
Graphoanalyst
Dear Dorothy:
I was working as a well-paid.
black secretary in a lily-white
office. - After a while, I
couldn't take the pressures, so
I quit. Now, I'm a housewife,
and I feel bored and unneces-
sary. I have many bills piled
up. They'll be paid, but they
cause me to feel out of the
game. What medicine is bet-
ter than a pill for the worrier?
L. E.
Dear L. E. :
Worry is a product of your
own thinking, and it'll sneak
up on you when your mind is
unoccupied.
Your active imagination,
seen in the large lower loops,
can either enlarge and enrich
your life's experiences, or it
can tear you to pieces. It can
conjure up all sorts of grue-
some possibilities. And, it can
& make you worry about things
that will never happen.
You lack a definite plan,
seen in the weak t crossings in
your writing (not shown
above), so you don't know
what to do. Your fairly tall d's
show your well-balanced
sense of pride. You want to
take your rightful place in so-
ciety — you want to be ac-
cepted as an honest upright
citizen. It's the large loop in
your d's that 'causes you to
feel 'but of the game," not
your unpaid bills. Your self-
image has been battered and
bruised. This is your real
problem. But, there are things
you can do about it. How
about part-time selling of
household products? There
are many good companies
who offer fine opportunities
for making money. This is one
way you could feel a sense of
well-being and accomplish-
ment in helping other house-
wives clean better, look bet-
ter, etc. And, it could all be
done in your spare time, with-
out pressure.
Right now, the walls are
closing in. The long lower
loops show that you are rest-
less and you are bored with
confinement. Even, if for
marital happiness, you have
to stay home . it doesn't have
to be a "ho-hum."

U.S. Department of Awl -
culture experts claim weeds
cause farms losses that ale
most costly every year, but
the" main division between
useful weeds and pests de-
pends on man's use. When
planted, oats are useful; but
when they appear in a corn-
field, they become nuisance.
Wild grass can serve for gcaz- \
int but it

The weeds you hang on the
wall won't grow anymore and
they certainly won't annoy
anyone. Quite the contrary:
these weeds will be as pretty
as a picture.
