WER, 1 Saar Sy --, y { TEEN-TOWN TOPICS == By BARRY MURKAR -- "Where do you think you are going?" asked inom, as I prepared " to make a /gét- away out through the baek door. "I'm going ~ fishing with Susie down to the Ydeep-hole," I re- plied. ., - "That's - what! you think! What have .you got in hat bag?"

Like 'two. rats in trap, we stared' at the six boxes of blinds piled ir the corner. "Well, 'et's get cracking on 'these things," I-:growled. (Not "Toud enough for --Susie's mother-- to hear), The 'blinds each had $8 ropes. One wrapped around eachiefid. In the 'middle. of the blind was 'package of -thingamadoos. These 'were supposed 'to be 'screwed on the window-casing and also to 'be bind. "I'll leave you two. to go to work," said Susie's mom, "I have to igo and make sandwiches."

So what, 7 thought, Taking off my shoes, I got up again. The screw driver slipped from my hand and landed in the goldfish bowl on the table below me. ! Water splashed on the new wall- paper and two fish went slither- « ing across 'tic glardwood floor.

Susie's mom came screaming: from the kitchen; probably think- ing "A cyclone had hit 'the joint. When "-this excitement quieted down, we trizd again. "The first two: blinds were hanging at rak- ish angles and had to be taken down and straightened, My hands were blistered and bleeding in several spots 'where the screw driver had' slipped and gashed me.' On the last window, I made a valiant effort to hurry the job. This was a mistake. Trying. to balance a blind on my head, as T screwed. in one end, meant defeat. 'The blind slipped. I slipped. The. blind went out through the win-" dow with a terrifying crash and fanded on 'the verandah, I went toward the center of the room with a terrifying 'yelp, and land-: ed on my you-know-what, right in an old fashioned straw covered rocker, With my you-know-what protruding through the bottom of "the chair) I made an effort to stand 'as Susic's * mother entered the room.
