wasso embarrassed I hurried
Vern out of the house :as fast as I
could. The evening never got off
tie ground because the Poor,,
bewildered guy seemed to go
into a, blue funk after that
ridiculous incident. Last week a
woman I work with asked me to
share an apartment with her. I
could manage it finpicially with
no trouble.: This tecent
embarrassment has provided me
with the perfect excuse to move
out of my parents' home. What
do yOu say? - Still Blushing.
Dear Still: A 24 -year-old girl
doesn't need an excuse to move
out of her parents' home. But
about that "incident" your
Dad might have a weird sense of
humor, but "blue funk"doesn't
have much of a sense of humor,
either.

Open Doors Can Be Hazardous
Sometimes it takes a smashed finger or a crack on the head to
remind us that doors are meant to he shut as well as opened.
To help prevent such accidents from happening to you and your ,
family, the Council On Family Health suggests a "door tour" of your
home. The Council is a non-profit organization sponsored as a public
service by leading members of
the drug industry, to promote
home safety and family health.
" Start with cabinet doors, not
only because they are the most
numerous in a home; but because
they are in areas where •Mom

Sow me a teacher in June,'
and I'll show you -a character
with a crumpled shirt, a wrin-

His spirit is treading the

His inward eye is , contemplat-

summer day to- be enjoyed.
It's not only the heat that
makes June rough for teachers.
It's the last-minute .panic.
There are 04 memos from the
office, telling you to be in
three places and doing three
different things, at the same
time. Or so it seems.
There are the4inal exams to
set, Supervise• and mark. There
are marks to be mustered that
would murder a mathemati-
cian, and written down in six
different places. There are new
books to be ordered, and old
books (about 10,000 in my
case) to be sorted and counted
and gtored. And everything is
to a deadline that always
seems to be yesterday.
Some of the young, new
teachers find it a traumatic
ekperience. Something like

The days are long, the mos- •
quitoes haven't really found
the range, and 'the world is
green and glorious.
By August,the sun has lost -
some of its blast, the days are
shorter and that first wild lust '
fog the lushness Of summer has
abated. School could run from
7 a.m. to 1 .p.m., and there'd
ignore the bull.
But wha can complain?
There is the. deep satisfaction
of knowing that Joe Dough hag
passed and somebody else 'will

tion of knowing that some of
your graduating students will
prcibably contribute a lot more
to the wprld than you have, as

There is a special touch of
sadness when the kids in the
two-year course, who are fin-

forever, inarticulately(' tell you
they have .enjoyed their year

pastel ".shades. They seein so
young and vulnerable. You
have a great ,wish that at least
they'll find happiness,if not
affluence.
And finally, there are two
glorious months anead in
which you don't have tcj leap to

where like Pavlov's rats, every
time a bell rings, I think I'll
stick it for another year.
