Patrick's Day. Memorial Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day. Columbus Day and Canadian Thanksgiving. Ask yourself. How long will it be before we throw all of the holidays to Mondays? More and more we encounter restaurants that are "CLOSED ON MONDAY," small businesses that remain closed and did you ever try to get your hair done on Monday? Forget it.

Imagine for a moment what a Mon-dayless week would mean. No more diets. That's right. There would be a whole country of chubbies sitting around eating cupcakes waiting for a Monday to roll around. We could stamp out the proverbial washday.

Blue Monday (that term applied to the beginning of a week after a swinging weekend) would disappear as See Us ForS3 ANNIVERSARY LW (k-V By Erma Bombeck For years, Mondays have been getting on my nerves. Frankly, I don't see any excuse for them. They come on too strong. They're the longest day in the week, and besides, they put a damper on your Sundays just thinking about them. Mondays are so ordinary.

They lack luster and excitement. Think about it. Does the circus ever open on Monday morning? Does anyone get married on Monday? Have a party? Buy a boat? Get their car washed? Or roast a turkey? The only reason I am bringing it up is that I sounded out a group last week and they thought with a little publicity we might just conceivably get rid of Mondays. Here are some of the arguments. To begin with, attendance on Mondays is falling off.

Fewer people are showing up for it. The automotive industry reported absenteeism on Mondays was not only excessive, but that those who did show up were so surly and hung over, it reflected in the workmanship of cars. Secondly, Mondays are becoming expendable. They are the dumping grounds of the seven-day week. Have you ever noticed that whenever they want to pick a working day to discard or use for a holiday, they pick Monday?

NOW votes to work for lesbians' rights PHILADELPHIA (AP) The National Organization for Women Monday overwhelmingly supported a resolution making equal rights for lesbians a top priority for the feminist group.

NOW voted to work for local and state legislation guaranteeing rights of homosexuals. It also voted to actively support a "Gay Rights" bill introduced by Rep. Bella Abzug, which seeks to make discrimination against homosexuals a federal offense. The question of lesbians' place in the women's rights movement has been a controversial topic for feminist groups in the past, but there was only scattered opposition to the resoluton at the NOW convention here. m.

mm 1 Ml jJA DEAR ABBY: A couple whose youngest child left for college asked your readers to help them decide whether or not to sell their big home. I say, sell while you can still get your price! We didn't. We kept waiting for our kids to come home for a visit. It was always the same story; "Too busy. Maybe next year." The one in college chose to spend Christmas with her boyfriend's family! We finally wised up and sold it for what we could get.

POOR TIMING IN WISCONSIN DEAR ABBY: Sell now! It's better to move to a strange place where you know no one while you are together. I suggest a retirement community where all others have been uprooted and are eager to make new friends. Choose a place where each of you can pursue new interests and hobbies and prepare for that day when one of you must carry on alone. THE L'S IN LAGUNA HILLS DEAR ABBY: Sell! Sell! Sell!
