I am good at my job and do it well. My problem is, I get advance- ments in pay and many com- pliments from my boss but I never get excited over any of it. I know I'm too old to change jobs and learn a new one, but I don't think I'm too old to . change my way of thinking if it would make me happier. What do you say? -, K.G. Dear K.G.: Laurels are prickly — if you sit on them. You're a good bookkeeper, and your hand- writing bears this out. Your boss knows it. So do you.

Your pride, seen in, the moderately tall t's, keeps your best foot forward with substantial standards, You've felt smugly secure in your job for many years, seen in your low t crossings. Without realizing it, you have applied the "brakes" to your life, and there you stand. Self-satisfaction set in too soon. Keep your job, but change your thinking. Think people. Think progress.

I find myself whistling, tossing cheery salutes to colleagues and generally feeling as though. I'd just won a lottery. "Settle down, boy. This isn't like you," I admonish me. I am not normally a gloom -pot, but neither do I go around grinning like an idiot. My wife, early in our acquaintance, nicknamed me "Stoneface". My average ex- pression could probably be des- cribed as saturnine. That's why I was'4a little alarmed to find myself breaking into - broad smiles this week. When I actually found myself being jolly with the boss, I knew it -was time to stop and pull myself together. "Look, Bill," I said to myself, "you have not been drinking; you are not senile; nobody has left you a lac ge sum of money. Pull yourself together.

Pokey is in town. Pokey, if you cavae in late, is Nicov Chen Sieber, my grandbabby, all rosy, satin cheeks and huge brown eyes and golden hair and little white teeth and twenty-two pounds of hellery of him. Some of you will remember an old song that went, "Sugar in the morning, sugar in the evening, - sugar at supper time ... " Those ancient, spavined ladies who were once the fabulous Andrews Sisters made it a hit. Well, that's what it is like when my grandbabby is around. It's sugar first thing in the morning, when I get down for breakfast. The sugar consists of a little jig of glee, two big eyes, a tiny white grin, and two wee arms thrust up, demanding a pickup, a .dozen or so kisses, a dandle, a song, a little soft-shoe shuffle, and anything else that the old man can muster for the early service. Of course, it's all a plot. Reason tells me this. The kid has been trained from birth to know who has the money in the family, who is the softest touch, the- biggest sucker. But reason is washed away by the floods of emotion when the downy head snuggles into one's 'neck, or the tiny finger goes into the air, pointing at a sun -reflec- tion on the wall, or the sturdy little body, proceeding like a bishop on roller skates, marches to the fire -irons, picks up the poker, and gravely hands it to one, ignoring everyone else in the room. So. The hell with reason. I'm making a new will. My Wife has practically everything else tied up, but the kid is getting my rubber waders and fishing rod, my golf clubs, my 25 shares of mining stocks, and the beautiful footstool that his great-grand- father, on his father's side, fashioned with his own hands. That's all I own, but it should set him up pretty well for life. And that may be only a start. We took him to see his other great-grandad on the v:eekend. It was trite a syimbolic, touching Meeting, their first. There was a little more than eighty years between them, but they were close buddies from the start. Great -Grandad was waiting, arms open. Great-GrandbabbY stuck out his armS. Great -Gran - dad's eyes got all red -around. the edges. Great-Grandbabby grinned. It was as simple as that. For the rest of the weekend; there really wasn't anybody else around of much account. There was only one cock -Of -the -walk, all • 15 months of him. This despite, or because of, the fact that Great- Grandbabby had no less than the following heeding his every wish: one great -great-aunt, two great- aunts, two great-uncles, one gran, . one grandad, one mother, and four assorted cousins, young enough to be his •brothers and sisters. Talk about a spoiled - rotten kid! To my mind, this is the way a baby shouldi be brought up, amidst a veritable horde of people who love him because he is a beautiful baby, and love him even more because he is theirs, with ali.that fine blood in him. This still happens among a few • Primitive tribes, but has almost vanished from our vaunted western Society, where even granfaies and grandads, let alone the "greats", are- neatly tucked - away into nursing homes where they are lucky to get a perfunc- tory visit oncela month from their own children, let alone ever have a chance to cuddle and kiss the tiny ones, who bear their blood and bones and spirit. Nochild in this world has ever been spoiled by a surfeit of love, And who has more time and love to give than the "grands" and the "greats"? At any rate, as I told my daughter after she had come in from pacing off her grandfather's land, "That boy obviously knows which side his bread is buttered on. You have trained him well. He has me hooked. He has his great-grandfather hooked. If he pla s his cards right, he might wind up as a member of the landed gentry, as well as the owner of a 15 -year-old pair of hip waders." Volkswageo plus cutback BONN — Volkswagen, West Germany's largest in- dustrial firm, is in a slump mainly because of thecol- lapse of the American market which had accounted for one- third of its sales. Eight of Volkswagen's plants in Germany are run- ning at only 60 per cent capacity and it is expected that about 25,000 of the 133,000 workers now employed will lose their jobs over the next 18 months.
