loyride lib git By Libby Demp Forrest w JJ» J The Huboy's favorite college joke is, "I've spent thousands of dollars to send my son to college and all I got was a quarterback." He repeated the joke as we drove home from No. l son's college, the car loaded with cartons, blankets, love letters and laundry. "I can do you one better," I said. "I've spent thousands ' of dollars to send my son to college this year and all I got was a broken back." > NO. 1 AND A FEW good men had hauled the junk out of his dorm room while I sorted laundry and checked under the bed. "Didn't anyone clean this room all year?" I asked. "There wasn't time," said No. 1. "It would have interfered with social life," said No. l's room mate. "This room doesn't feel right anymore without the posters on the walls," said No. 1 son looking around. I carried the posters down to the car. "BETTEHJKEEP THEM up front with you," said No. 1, "so they won't get crushed." "Heaven forbid there should be a dent on the face of this punk rocker," I said, staring at one of the posters. "That's going to be a collector's item someday," said No. 1. "The whole house is filled with someday collector's items," I said. The few good men finished loading the car and The Hubby and I drove off, waving so long to No. 1. "SEE YOU AT the end of the week," I said. "Good luck I on your finals." "Break a leg," The Hubby called from the window. "Do you know what I did every night this week at home? " I asked The Hubby. "No, what did you do every night this week at home?" said The Hubby. "I stripped No. l's room. I cleaned No. l's room. I hauled bag after bag of trash down the steps to the first floor and then down the steps to the yard, then across the yard to the trash cans. Do you want to see my muscles?" "CAN'T YOU WAIT until we get home?" said The Hub- | by. "I always kind of liked your muscles." "Don't be fresh," I said. "Well, you're the one who offered to show me your muscles and I'm definitely interested in seeing them, but can't you wait, girl?" said The Hubby.

ARIES: Be careful while driving this month, especially on short trips. Earning abilities are better than usual for you. Use business acumen to accumulate, savings and security. Inspiration is high. TAURUS: Since you specialize in "objets d' art" and have refined sensibilities, the opportunity is fine for discovering antiques, artistic works and home decorating ideas. The public seeks your expertise. GEMINI: Try to escape during your Birthday month, if only for a short weekend. You need desperately to get away. Protect securities and personal belongings aga,;nst "financial leakage and/or deception." CANCER: Fulfill 'contractual obligations. Will power and determination are strong, so make important contacts, trust your judgment and visualize your goals accomplished. Celebrate this favorable time. LEO: Co-workers come to your rescue when least expected. Never tell a friend anything that you would not want an enemy to know: confidences shared mid-week become common knowledge by the weekend. VIRGO: Hopes and wishes come true through friends and private contacts. The beginning of next week finds others recruiting you to be of service with charities or hospitals. A close friend needs your sympathetic ear LIBRA: Find creative, party-going friends to help you excape the confines of a frenetic home or office life. Superiors, parents and employers pose challenges which require a diplomatic nature. SCORPIO: Plans for a trip or educational project are subject to change. Use your innate shrewdness to discern truths regarding a real estate matter. Investments and new deals are rather erratic at present. SAGITTARIUS: A close family member springs a surprise which delights you, then frustrates you as well. Current financial sacrafices are mitigated by good news which comes via telephone or mail. CAPRICORN: By now you know things are not always what they appear to be: to avoid deception, consult a professional for advice or find private meditative moments to tune in to your intuitive, psychic self. AGUARIUS: Proper health, diet regimen pays off. Take time to show co-workers exactly what is expected of them. Work at perfecting latent talents and at establishing rapport with new found friends. PISCES: Instead of "behind the scenes", you share the spotlight on stage center. People will praise your talents and abilities, marvel at yourvitality and try to unveil your "secrets of success" !

Rambo First (From Page 74) years. Sweden remained neutral, as you know. \ lovely way to say thank you, never to be forgotten. I thought about it a lot <£ninfrtt»e Tulip Festival. i I like personally to commend Karin Fedderman and her committee for their tremendous Lime-consuming effort to put on such a lovely festival for us all to welcome spring and summer. ELIZABETH (BIRGERSDOTTER) VON SCHLICHTEN North Cape May Stop Merge, Yield t (From Page 74) 1. Merge — to combine or be combined so as to lose separate identity; blend. 2. Yield — to concede or grant: to yield precedence - to give way. 3. Stop — to bring (something in motion) to a halt. SINCE THE WORDS "merge" and "yield" seem to mean nothing to some drivers, it appears to me that the word "stop" is the only word that should be used on these ramp6. By replacing the words "merge" and "yield" with "stop," maybe we can eliminate two other words from the old "Funk and Wagnalls:" 1. Impatient - lacking patience; easily annoyed at delay. 2. Idiot — a person exhibiting mental deficiency in its most severe form. Oh yes, there is one other word that would be used less — Death. I'm sure we don't need our old "Funk and Wagnalls" to define that word. BILL RICHTER Villas

Our Readers Write Sidewalks Set In Court House To The Editor: The Middle Township Traffic Committee has taken a very positive step in developing a sidewalk policy for the townshp. Through their dedicated efforts and many hours of reseafch, the township can begin to implement the installation of sidewalks along major highways and roads in our township where many pedestrians are now walking in the road shoulders or in the highway itself. This is a very dangerous situation which could cause injury to the per son who is walking in such a situation. Many businesses have already expressed a willingness to install sidewalks so that people can walk to BurdetteTomlin Memorial Hospital from the center of town, or to and from the shopping centers. I was very pleased to see this policy implemented at the hearing for the Wawa Food Market at the Middle Township Planning Board meeting on April 25. Mayor Michael Voll requested that the construction of sidewalks be a condition of the approval. It is nice to see a positive approach to a problem which exists in the township. CHARLES M. LEUSNER Township Committeeman (Democrat Leusner is a candidate for reelection.)
