You remember that trailer I
'told you about two years ago?
The one which was parked at
a quiet little retreat not too far
from our home? Well, dear
friends, that trailer no longer
is among the Keller assets.
Life has dealt one cruel blow
after another, but this has to
be one of the cruelest as far as
my husband is concerned. For
him, that trailer was his link
to sanity.. ,and now... well...
My spouse is not one of the
devil-may-care types. He's
serious, right from the roots of
his greying hair to the tips
of his aching feet. If he's going
to do a job, he's got to give it
his all. He's always been that
way, and although it is pleas-
ant for the family because there
are never any real financial pro-
blems, it is hard on my husband,
He has become an insomniac.
That's rough in a double bed,
believe me.
But at that blessed trailer,
my husband would forget his
troubles. Like magic, his wor-
ries would melt away and he'd
drift off into contented sleep
at the drop of a campfire.
Our youngest child loved that
trailer, too. From early morn-
ing until late in the evening,
he'd busy himself at 100 differ-
ent things. Who knows what
small boys do in the woods and
by a stream? You bet. That boy
was happy at the trailer.
And because they were happy,
I was happy too. To me, that
trailer meant relaxation of a
special kind and it was very
good.
But it was evident from the
time that trailer .carne into our
possession that we'd miscalcul-
ated on one very important det-
ail. Our older children, those
precious but ponderous teen-
agers, would rise up like thieves
in the night to rob us of our
pleasure.
I'm what my children call
"an over -protective mother." I
cannot rest easy if my children
even the older ones --are not
under my watchful eye as much

of the time as possible. I
know they'll manage to get
into trouble with or without me,
but still I feel I must be with
then. It is my duty.
You couldn't imagine the
excuses those older kids could
find for not wanting to go to
that heavenly trailer.
We tried all avenues. We got
very tough with them and told
them they were going with us.
No ifs, ands, or buts, Have you
ever spent a weekend with a
sullen, morose teenager who
reclines on a cot staring at the
ceiling and hoping for a flood
so we can go home?
We tried being sweet and
pursuasive. We got better res-
ults as far as the attitude of
the kids was concerned, but we
lost out on the important part.
They were just as sweet and
pursuasive as we were and we
all ended up by staying at home,
I tried tears. That was a
mistake. My teenagers . shut
off the water -works in one big
hurry by telling me I was empl-
pying very juvenile tactics to
get what I wanted,
The best approach was to
compromise. We'd go by our-
selves to the trailer on a Friday
evening only to return home
about midnight that evening to
pick up the children after a
night of frolic. Then in the
morning, after they'd had a
good rest and a belly full of
Letter to editor

Residents of Zurich;
For the second year, North

have sponsored a bus trip to the
Bean Festival, and once again
want to thank you so much for
the hospitality we received
while there.
Your "Festival" is so well
organized, that we have no
complaints, and hope to return
again sometime.
Thanks to our former W.I.
member and her husband for
space at their home to park the
bus, and for all other courtesies.
From all fifty-seven of us, a
sincere thank you.

food, we'd drive them back
into town so they could meet
their friends for this activity
or another. About midnight
on Saturday, we'd run off to
town to pick them up again.
And Sunday, of course, the
kids wanted to be home early
so they could get a shower,
wash their hair, etc. etc. in
time for the special evening
ahead.
At the end of one of those
compromising weekends, my
husband and I were so worn out
we'd need to go home for a rest.
It was simply no good.
The upshot of the whole thing
was that this summer, we've
spent very little time at the
trailer. It was just too exhaust-
ing to relax there.
I was the first one to actually
voice an opinion that we
might as well sell the trailer
as continue like this. My hus-
band, bless him, had been
thinking it, 1 know, but he
hadn't been able to bring him-
self to say it.
So the trailer is sold.. , to a
family with small children. I
couldn't have lived with myself
had we pawned it off onto a
family with teenagers who might
soon present the same hassle as
our kids had.
