rain my window
Remember last week I talked
about my youngest son wanting
to have a holiday from school
and staying home for the whole
day though he really wasn't
sick at all?
Well, this week I have the
sequel to that event to relate.
It all began the fateful evening
he returned hone from the
babysitter's house where he'd
spent the day playing and wat-
ching television and generally
having fun.
"How are you feeling?" I
asked him.
"Fine, " he answered brightly.,

The car of the future may have
bumpers that automatically
extend one foot as the auto
picks up speed - to provide
more distance in case of colli-
sion.
To test your stop lights, have
somebody watch them while
you touch the brake.

A rear-view mirror that
vibrates enough to blur the im-
age may be a sign of car trou-
ble. Let your serviceman check
it.
Here's the primary rule for ac-
cident prevention, according
to a major driving school;
never slam on the brakes. That
causes the wheels to lock, so
the car performs like a
runaway sled.

When you describe your car
troubles to a mechanic, don't
be afraid to use words like
thud, bash, or clunk. Such vivid
descriptions can provide
valuable clues.

Drive in soon!
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
"I'm not sick any more. Good
thing I stayed (tome huh."
I smiled my knowing smile.
"Little rascal, " I though to
my self.
Shortly. after he'd settled
into home for the evening, the
telephone rang. It was tite boy
from next door and he was call-
ing to ask my youngest if he
could come over to spend the
night.
"I think I should be able to, "
my son told him, getting more
excited by the minute. My son
turned to me, expectation in
his eyes.
"Can I go stay with my friend
tonight?" he asked.
"Not tonight, " I answered,
knowi ng my answer was going
to bring much protest and maybe
some tears. "You've been sick
all day, remember?"
"But I'm not sick now, " he
explained. "I feel fine."
"I know you feel fine. I'm
glad you feel fine. But when
you don't go to school in the
daytime, you just can't go out
at night, " I explained.
He stared at me in unbelief.
I could just about hear him
thinking. "If I'd known that
this morning I'd never have beer
sick today."
"I'm going to school Monday,
he claimed.
"That's right, " I said, "and
if you have an opportunity to
sleep at your friend's house on
Monday evening you could prob-
ably go."
I watched his little eyes fill
up with tears. Like all children,
he just knew this would be his
last chance. "He'll never ever
ask me again, " he whined dej-
ectedly.
ej-
ectedly.
"Never is a long, long time, "
I said, gathering him into my
arms. And because he felt so
very bad, I decided to confide
in him.
"You know, when mommy
was young I had the same rule
to live by, "I began. "And you
know what? Sometimes it works
in reverse. Sometimes you
really are sick and you try to'
keep going just so you won't
miss a big, event.''
"You do?" he asked.
Then I told him about a time
when I was in high school a
favorite young man invited me
to a dance. I wasn't the most
popular girl in the school to say
the very least, and I really
wanted to keep this date. But
about Thursday, I knew I was
getting sick. I developed a
fever, a cough, a runny nose,
a headache --I felt terrible and
I must have looked the part.
I told him I knew that if I
stayed home from school I
wouldn't have a hope of keep-
ing my Friday night date...so
there was only one thing to
do. I kept on insisting I was
feeling really great and when
Friday night came, I kept my
appointment.
I don't remember how the
young man enjoyed spending
the everting with a sputtering,
sniffling, stuffed -up partner,
but I do recall what a miserable.
time I had. It was no fun to
dance, no fun to just sit and
watch. All I really wanted to
do was go to bed.
When I finally did get home,
I collapsed into bed like a ton
of bricks. I shivered, I shook.
I ached. I throbbed-, I sweated,
I coughed. The next morning
I really was sick. . . and it took
four days to get back on my
feet. But in that time I'd learn-
ed it was best to tell the truth..
if you are sick, don't pretend
you aren't; if you aren't sick,
go to school anyway because
by the end of the day, some-
thing really exciting might
happen.
My little boy had stopped
crying, He put his arms around
my neck and said, "Thanks for
the advice mom." And without
another word, he went away to
contemplate life as he was
living it.
And you know what? Now
there's a sequel to the sequel,
for this past weekend my son
got another invitation to spend
the night with his friend. . . and
he went away happy and cont-
ent, a much wiser young man
I'm sure.
