COACH By NORMA CRAWFORD No paper next week. We're looking forward "to that week off. It's been a long year and we think we'll come back work with new enthusiasm after a little vacation.

Had planned to go to Missouri to 'see the folks and attend the Crawford reunion, but the editor's Illness has changed, all that. Haven't any big plans now, but it will be fun to know that we can sleep later. Probably won't because habit is such a strong thing that we'll wake up at the usual hour. But when we look at the clock, instead of "bouncing out" we can turn over for another little nap. Think the sleep you get after you know it's time to get up is the best of all.

"Tired nature's sweet restorer, bnlmy is Edward Young's description. Am not familiar with the writings of Mr. Young. Maybe next week I caps look him up and find out who 1 1 1 ne is. aiuBi luunu nis quotation in my Thesaurus of Quotations.

After Monday's shower, it was easy to sleep. Everything smelled so fresh and good and the rain was so wonderful. "Good cotton and peanut according to the authority in our family. Pretty good for tired pastures, too. And I exalted at not having to water the shrubs.

Surprise (our Collie) was delighted have so many damp spots to cur up in. He digs and digs, until he comes to some damp soil. Have been afraid he i might wind up in China thi sum-' mer because what I consider a thorough soaking 'around the "'shrubs has dried out quickly. As aggravated as I get at Surprise, I'd hate to have him wind up in China, or anywhere where he' wouldn't be there, wagging his tail in greeing, as we drive up to the house. Just can't get very excited about man made sattelites.

Seems to jne we better leave the sattelites alone. Who knows what" orbit one might slip into and that it might go the wrong' way on a one way track. Be feeling might silly judgin? from the way I feel when I get 'on a one way street from the wrong way. Might not be a policeman handy to tell said sattelite (as one told Jne during the Christmas rush in Fort Worth) "For goodness sakes, lady, don't back up. You'll only make things worse.

Just get off as quick as you can at the next corner." And the Dallas News says an elongated look is the thing in shoes for fall. Shoes for women that is. Along with the elongated look goes the uncluttered look. Well, that's fine. I like the uncluttered angle, but why should shoes make your foot lobk longer than it already is?
