JOHN JACKSON Certified Master Graphoanalyst Dear Dorothy: It's hard for me to work with others. When it comes to business discussions or serious con- versation, 1 get teed off. I don't think people like me very well. — M.V. Dear M.V.: One easy way to rebuff people is to feel that everything must grav- itate toward your way of thinking. You don't like discus- sions because you're not ctut-atJ accepting of the ideas of others, seen in the squeezed e loops (they're so squeezed they look like undotted i's). You're not willing to admit that others have opinions, too, that might be worthy of some attention. It's only your own convictions that matter. The absence of lower loops says that you're a loner. Your self-possessed nature, combined with dig- nity, seenin your vertical writing and retraced is and d's, give you the out- ward appearance of being standoffish and quite unap- proachable. You're an intelligent person, but you need a lot more bend. Without give, one is tense, and when one e HEY KID$I LEARN TO DRAW WITH DANNY COUGHLAN o 065 OGO o - GCC6 O 00 Q,ct, v� il--: o 2 . o o �F-,i_._::_, r-----..,,/ ah, O 0 U 0 0 1. Here's Danny's complete drawing. 2. Finish what banny started. 3. Now try it yourself! 1 is tense, one gets "teed off" So, why not try to take life with a bit of a grin? It can help you relax and be- lieve me, it's a lot more fun that way. Besides that, it gives you a more flexible mind with enough elasticity to take in another perm's point of view. You'll like yourself a whole lot better. And others will like you too. Youth is featured on Country Cable The emphasis will be on youth this week as Country Cable airs two specials.

Bellerophon Books, 36 Anacapa St., Santa Barbara, Calif. 8','2 by 11 in. 48 pp. Paper U.S. $3.50. Reviewed by PERCY MADDUX With the popularity of coloring and cut-out books comes one from Bellerophon of "Royal Family Paper Dolls" comprising the Queen, the Queen Mother, Prince Philip, the Prince of Wales, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward. These are all for cutting out, coloring and putting together. There is no text and in many cases no directions as W color. The people do not look very much like their photographs. There are al- most caricatures. Antique or Junque By JAMES G. McCOLLAM Member, Antique Appraisers Assoc. of ,America Q. What can you tell me about this vase? It is marked with the name "TECO," as shown in the enclosed sketch. The vase is 9 inches tali and has a green background with raised flowers and leaves. A. This was made by W.D.

You know the father who didn't get custody and who wasn't around too much any- way and what's to miss? The kids missed him. For what? He didn't breathe with his mother when the child was born. He was out in the lobby having a cigarette with a guy who sold real estate. He never knew where the diapers were and when he burped the baby it felt like he had a brick in his hand. When the kids sat on the curb and waited for him to come home from work, all he did was rub his hand through their hair and say, "How's it goin', kid?" That was it. He did the same thing to the dog only with him, he teased him by holding his jaws shut. Whenever a child cried, you know what he did? He yelled to the mother, "Some- thing's wrong. He wants you." He never figured the child wanted him. Sometimes, he looked like he wanted to kiss the chi dren, especially when were hurt or at bedtime ut he sorta hung back. . of of times you got a `felling he didn't think he was im- portant.

McPHEE Mount Forest. 323-4058 one to wait until he got home so he could give the kids what -for. As a mother, I wonder what is that magical elusive quality that children see in their fathers. Is it the strength of the hands they trust never to drop them when they are thrown into the air? Is it the cahn he brings to a volcanic confrontation where he asks the children what they think before he makes a judgment? Maybe they see the fear that is deep inside that never surfaces or the tear that is there but never shed, or per- aps the love that is rarely accompanied by words. 1 honestly don't under- stand it. As mothers we are taught that love and respect has to be earned. I know what father's don't do, but what is it they do to earn that respect and love? Without ironing a. shirt, baking a birthday cake, ad- ministering a bandaid or reading a story, they occupy t place in a child's life at the ""mmit of hie aevi ipoef. Is it possible children sense a unique human being who was there at the beginning and will remain until the end and will not be a mother .. . but will fulfill that rare role that is father? I don't understand it. But the kids do. AUCTION SALE for: THE GOLDSTONE GENERAL STORE Owned and operated by Ken and Lois Fisher.
