A The Pharce-Tribune, Logansport, Ind. Flounces: A Bully Look By ELLIE GROSSMAN NEW YORK (NEA) The word for flounces is "bull." The people who potsy around digging up old pottery shards and dental floss can cry out, "No, it isn't!" but we're telling this story, and bull is the word. First of all, you know what a flounce is because it's flaring out all over the place this summer. It comes on skirts in tiers, one after the other, or sometimes just hangs there by itself on the bottom. Well, we contend this terracing touch came from a bull.

The pottery people are going to say there are cave drawings around showing women wearing long, bellshaped fur or skin skirts and that flounces started then. Or that the people running around the Near East when Sumer was the going civilization started it because they "they" often being men liked to climb into sheepskins sewn up in one fleecy flounce after another. Then they're going to say the idea was copied when people started making clothes out of cloth because you could weave that and didn't necessarily have to an animal over the head to get it. They can nit-pick all they want. As far as we're concerned, you can credit the ladies on Crete when the island was sitting there snug and arrogant in the Aegean from around the 18th to the 15th century B.C.

Of course, it's still sitting there, but in those days it was sending ships out all over and saying "pay up" to everybody they ran into. Paying tribute was what they called it, but it was more severe than a Dean Martin roast because they made off with all the good stuff, since they had the muscle behind them to get it. In any case, the Cretan ladies got up in the morning bell- and put on a flounced, shaped skirt with checks or waves or stripes or squares in bright colors all over the tiers. On top, they'd lace on a short-sleeve bodice that covered everything except the parts think would be ANCIENT CRETAN goddess flaunts her flounces, wearing a short bodice with "wasp waist" and short decorative apron the typical dress of Minoan culture. 010 0 6 covered.

Choices Name Changing Is 'Pastime' By KAREN BLAKER, Ph.D. DEAR DR. BLAKER I would like to change my name from Lee to Lisa because it sounds more feminine. But my parents don't like the idea. They say it would cost a lot of money.

My friends, however, say it is a simple matter of filling out some legal papers. That makes me wonder whether money is really the reason for my parents' disapproval. Why would they be against a name change? DEAR READER They are probably attached to the name because they chose it for you. But why not ask them? Your friends are partly right about the narne-change procedure. Though in Europe a government decree is required for a name change, the process is fairly simple in the United States.

In fact, so many Americans change their names that it has been called one of our national pastimes. But changing one's name does cost money, unless you decide to assume your new name merely by starting to use it. If you prefer to make the change official through the courts, the procedure may eventually lead to encosts about $200. joyable conversations on DEAR DR. BLAKER I each outing.

Smile And Laugh And Help Your Health We all are aware of what emotions do to the body. For instance, fear can make us weak in the knees; anger or embarrassment can make our faces red and worry can raise our blood pressure. We sometimes forget about the terrific impact happiness has on us. It can change a dull day into heaven, make a man forget his headache when landing a 50-pound fish and send boredom and fatigue flying out the window. I think we also fail to appreciate the healing value of laughter, the kind that comes from deep within, shakes the ribs and draws in big drafts of oxygen.

This stirs up circulation and rids the mind of petty concerns. Many thinkers of the past have understood this. There is an old proverb that says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." Matthew and be Green well" "Laugh and Thackery said, "A good laugh is sunshine in the house." It is said that so many take the joy out of so many days by fretting about things which are not important anyway, or by worrying about situations they cannot change or things that will never happen! What a waste! We have only one life, and elements of humor lie hidden in the most hectic times if we just look for them. Recently we have had a dramatic example of the curative effect of laughter. Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review, told his story in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1976.

Mr. Cousins was 'stricken with a very painful, incapacitating form of arthritis. After being treated with the most powerful pain killers and anti-inflammatory. drugs, with no help, he asked that they be discontinued. Instead, he obtained films of comic movies and read humorous books while being treated with huge injections of vitamin C.

Today he is completely recovered thanks to laughter and vitamin C. Announcements JULY 17 The Lamp Lighters EH Club will meet at 7 p.m. at the St. Elizabeth Parish House. Those attending should bring a salad and table service.
