THE THOUGHT COUNTS If Kids Had Their Way Dads Would Be Surprised By POLLY SPAIN Some local fathers could be recipients of some gifts today if their preschool-age youngsters had their way. Children at North Hills ative Nursery ool, Granada Hills, were asked what they would give their Daddies for Father's Day if they could buy anything in the world.

Mrs. Zel Allen reports the following quotes Laurel Gross 5, "A dog bone!" Gregg Smith 4, "Hair." Johnny Kuzma 4, "A bee," (Mrs. Allen said she had to work hard to get that out of him.) Bubble Gum" Cindy Plemmons 5, "He likes big guns." Gary Dolber 5, "Maybe if he breaks his hammer I im a new Oh! Bubble gum!" Danny Nater 4, A drill." Scotty McVarish 4, "A big airpane (sic)." David Moen "A gun a space gun." Sarah Engerman 3. "A he would feed il duck Gregg Allen "A rifle. My daddy will share his nflc with me!" Eric Neeb "I'll give him a 1 David Gallo 4, "A bow and arrow." "A Puppy" Richard Steckel 5, "I'm gonna give him a new radio." Garry Shutt 4, "A puppy." Tommy Kopchains 5, "A real cat!" Even though the youngsters may not be able to come up with funds to buy the gifts of their choice, (and some fathers may be grateful if they don't), it's the thought that counts.

It would be interesting to be a ''mouse in the corner" at some of these homes this morning and see a Daddy unwrapping a dog bone, feeding a duck, petting a puppy, chewing bubble gum, or maybe getting stung by a bee. SURVEY SHOWS DADS GET FEWER TELEPHONE CALLS Dad isn't as popular on Father's Day as mom is on Mother's Day, at least when it comes to making phone calls, according to General Telephone Co. in Los Angeles. The Utilities' records of last year showed that for every four fathers who got a call on their day from their children, five mothers did on their day. Dr.

William Faust, head the nsycholocrv depart- ent at Pomona College, offered a reason. "Mothers arc more apt to expect to hear from their children on Mother's Day and may, in fact, complain if they don't," he said. "On the other hand, fathers probably arc less likely to expect the attention, especially from sons. "And of course, women outlive men so there are more years of Mother's Days to keen in touch."

He added that 80 staff workers providing this service in Sylmar will move into Van Nuys tomorrow. This will make the total staff some 400 at the Mid-Valley unit.
