Summer is certainly d~ifferen,
from winter-and / don't mean
Just the temperature eitherl You
have to start living with an air
conditioner again lido you need
those in Sidney?); you have to
keep doors and windows closed
against the heat, and shades
against the sun. This makes for
a dark house, but doesn't actually
call for a too elaborate system OF
readjustment. OF course the chill
dren r forever banging doors
shut Cor forgetting to shut them
at all, which is just as bad), and
it does take a little time to &C.
custom yourself to creeping around
In the gloom. q understand that
this has something to do with the
contraction and dilation of the
pupils of the eye; / daresay mine
are a little rusty because they
don't dilate very fast anymore
and quite often I don't notice cob
webs, dust, or even sand).
Another summertime difference
is that the children are home-all
of them, and somehow there seem
to be more than there were in
the winter. / know that's just
my imagination, but they are
louder. No longer can I sit around
in a housecoat after breakfast and
lazily absorb a third cup of cof-
fee and the editorial page of the
Herald. AS a matter of fact there
isn't any "after breakfast" any,
more: Henry and l have ours at
7:30; Edwin, at 8; Dell, at g.;
and Sam at 10, IL and IL. That
alone would play hob with any,
body's schedule.
Then, too, in the summer, ac-
tivities are so different. All of a
sudden there is grass to NOW,
lawns to water, weeds to pull and
aphids to squirt. The baby's plas-
tic pool has to be blown up, filled
with water and drained every
day; the garbage has to be en-
tied more often; tons of cotton
clothes have to be ironed each
week although none of us has
anything to wear; it gets dark
so late that Edwin won't go to
bed before 10 o'clock; everybody
wants new bathing suits and Ber-
muda shorts, and no one wants
to do any work. Everybody eats
more, too-and the food bills soar
Creaky and worn as | am, /
find these seasonal adjustments
increasingly difficult to make.
Maybe next year I'll just move
to a colder climate.
Words / love. Two of this years
favorites are rime and kudos- Not
rhyme as in nursery, but rime
meaning a thick and hoary frost.
AS for kudos, you'll find it in
almost any English detective nov
ell. 1t means distinction or COM
mendation, as she gained kudos
by solving such-and-such a case"
And at last / discovered where
they got the expression, MaYdaY.

ded that daily pay for substitute
school teachers be raised from
$12 to SIS.
Chardon Board Of Education

L B Group
Endorses
i AK Levies

William j. Barnes, president
of the Geauga County Tuber-
culoSis and Health Association
today announced the Executive
Committee of the Association
has endorsed the tax levies for
Child Welfare and for General
Health to be voted on at the
November 6 election.
One levy, Child Welfare, is
a renewal of 5 year .65 mill
levy which is expiring; this
means, of course, that passage
of this renewal levy will not jim
crease taxes. This tax levy is
the only source of revenue for
the child welfare program; re-
newal of the levy is, therefore,
the only means of continuing
the county's very important well
fare activities for children.
The other levy, County Health
program, is a new one and is
for this levy comes about large
tion in the federal participation
in County Health programs at
a time when population is in
creasing at a high rate. In
less additional revenue is OBJ
tanned through this moderate
levy essential services of the
County Health Department will
have to be curtailed or discon-
tinued.
The local tuberculosis and
Health Association is carrying
on a continuous and intensive
program of Health Education as
a part of its other daily acti-
vities. Mr.. Barnes further stat
eel, from close study of health
problems and needs, the Asso-
citation. feels that passage Of
both these levies is highly i'm
portant to assure continuation Of
the Child Welfare and the gen
eral County Health programs
that are directly beneficial to
all Geauga County residents.
