Our Readers Write Teacher Visits Paris , France

To The Editor: Many thanks for the article, "Church News From Paris '. A friend sent me a copy today! I thought your readers might enjoy receiving a letter from Paris. I am presently taking a one year sabbatical leave from teaching the third grade in the HatboroHorsham School District ( Pennsylvania ) I hold an A.B. degree from Guilford College, North Carolina and an Ed.M. degree from Temple University. During the first semester 1 took courses at Beaver College, Pennsylvania, and at the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts. THIS SEMESTER I am visiting schools in Europe. I'm living in the same residence in which 1 lived iml965 when I worked in Paris as a "plongeur d'office" — a dishwasher! It's hard to believe that I've been in Paris for four weeks. Much has changed in the capitol city since 1965. There are still some bargains to be found in Paris including rides on the metro (the best in the world! ) I've been attending French classes at the Alliance Francaise de Paris. The school's population appears to be a "mini" United Nations. Students from around the world attend classes here. I'VE VISITED several elementary schools during my stay in France. It has been a wonderful experience for me. I've had the privilege to teach four lessons (in French) to the boys and girls about the geography of the United States. One question which was asked of me was. "What do you eat in the United States?" Children in the elementary schools go to classes on Mondays. Tuesdays. Thursdays, and Fridays from 8:30-11:30 a.m. and again from 1:30 until 4:30 p.m. Schools meet on Saturday mornings from 8:30-11 :30. (There are no classes on Wednesdays). Paris is truly a beautiful city. You could spend an entire lifetime here and not see everything My "best wishes" to the residents of Cape May County. Au revoir de' Paris! WILLIAM ALLEN (Stone Harbor) Paris, France Awesome Job * (From Page 54) what I have witnessed in a relatively short period of time, she has single-handedly set the women's movement back about 20 years. WE NEED A WOMAN who can represent the women of Lower Township with tact, honesty, intelligence and a single mindedness of professionalism. First, I suggest she urge her political allies, or "groupies," to conduct themselves in a more professional manner, (to disagree is in order, but rudeness to different opinions is uncalled for), or separate herself from them at public meetings. The giggling and winking at any statement she or this group of spectators disagrees with on a personal or political level shows a complete disregard for the citizens of Lower. There is still time to reverse this trend before its too late. Lift's not give any one the chance to react to women in any less fashion than complete respect for their professionalism and competence in the political arena. ROSEMARY FERRIS Cape May Beach

Joy ride III rJk By libby Demp Forrest U W" J

Parents: beware Our selfless acts, our attempts to raise disciplined, wellmannered children can get us into trouble. This has been brought to my attention lately by No. 2 For some reason or another, he has started calling me "Mommie, dearest." Of course, any mother who has written a column for 1 1 years about the exploits of No. l and No. 2 sons is a little vulnerable to blackmail. I suppose there's a kinder, word for it, but blackmail sounds about right to me. LATELY. I FIND MYSELF becoming rather guarded with No. 2. When he asked me what was for dinner the other night, I wisely asked: "What do you mean by that?" No. 2 looked at me with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean what do I mean?" No. 2 asked. "I mean," I said/ "do you want anything special?" No. 2 looked at me again. "Food," said No. 2. But then he added, "Mommie. dearest." I cautiously approached the refrigerator. Then I opened it. No. 2 hopped up on the kitchen stool and sat watching and waiting. "WHY ARE YOU WATCHING me so closely''" I asked No. 2 scratched his head. "I dunno," he said. "I'm just hungry." I pulled out some stuff while No. 2 watched. • "Yuk." said No. 2. "Is that it?" "These are pretty good leftovers." I said. No. 2 made a face "We always eat leftovers." he said "How could we 'always eat leftovers'?" I asked "I mean think about what you're saying." No. 2 thought for a minute. "We always eat leftovers," No. 2 repeated. Then he added. "Mommie. dearest." I STARTED to perspire a little. I started to think a little. "Hey." I said to myself, "face facts. Your children come from a family of writers. Everybody writes in this family. Not everybody tells the truth, either. Including you. Admit it. you bend the truth a little, don't you?" I nodded my head to myself. No. 2 sat watching me "Well?" asked No. 2. - I looked into No. 2's big. blue innocent-looking eyes and I made a decision. "Let's go to the grocery store together," I said. "You pick out what you want." "How come you're being so good to me. Mommie, dearest9" No. 2 asked.
