A social hour at 6:30 p.m. will be followed by a 7:30 p.m. dinner and dancing- from 9 p.m. to midnight. Geraniums, race cars and checkered flags will form the table centerpieces, with floral pieces and "500" emblems planned as decorations throughout the clubhouse.

I just wish the kids who read your column would open their eyes and see their teachers as people. Up until now I never thought of teachers as human beings but something happened a few weeks ago that changed my whole outlook. I got into a little trouble and three teachers came forward to help me. It really blew my mind. So please print my letter, Ann, and tell the students all over that it's more than a job with lots of them.

They care. New View DEAR VIEW: Thank you for providing' me with an opportunity to give a well-deserved boost to dedicated teachers and there are thousands. According to a psychiatrist in California, an unprecedented number of teachers are showing signs of "battle fatigue," the same stress that soldiers suffer from in time of war.

Of course, I always used office stationery.

Last week I called my wife from Paris and asked her to pick up my office mail so I could read it over the weekend. I was arriving home on Saturday. In the stack of letters she found one to the woman in Munich returned for insufficient postage. Of course, she slit the envelope and read my letter, which I thought was pretty tacky. Nevertheless, I caught plenty of hell.

So please, Ann, share my stupidity with your readers and warn them to check the postage. If they aren't sure, stick on an extra 30 cents. It's worth it. Draydel Kaup DEAR DRAYDEL: I think I can improve on your advice. Never put anything in writing.

DEAR ANN: My husband died two years ago. Sid left me with four children, the oldest 12, the youngest three. They are all healthy and beautiful. I met a man last August whose wife and two children were killed in a car accident. He is a wonderful, kind person and we are really in love.

This man wants to marry me and be a father to my children. (The two he lost were all he had. They were born within weeks of my oldest two. It's as if we were destined to meet.) The problem: After we marry, I want to go to the courthouse and have my children's last name changed so it will be the same as ours. Sid's parents are against it.
