Women says
bed houses
devil's face
United Press International
VICTORIA, British Columbia
— Norma Harris insists a devil is
hiding in the headboard of her
antique bed. Her husband says
she has been watching too much
television.
“We bought the bed from
friends in Winnipeg 16 years
ago,” Mrs Harris said Thursday.
“Everything was fine until about
a month ago. The face of a demon
suddenly appeared in the walnut
veneer of the headboard.
The gargoyle in the wood grain
disturbed her so much that she
called in a Roman Catholic priest
to perform an exorcism, she said.
He told her it was merely a pat
tern in the wood and advised her
to call in a furniture expert.
Antique furniture expert Pat
Matthews agreed it was only an
unusual pattern in the wood, but
his wife, Peggy, was on was on
Mrs. Harris’ side.

Economist: Young
lingering at home
United Press International
ATLANTA — An Atlanta econom
ist who predicted last spring’s gas
station lines says inflation, energy
shortages and uncertain economic
times are keeping young people de
pendent on their parents for a longer
time.
“The empty nest may not be so
empty anymore there is more of a
hanging on,” said Professor Fred
Allvine, an economist at the Georgia
Institute of Technology, who be
lieves the American family is going
to have to stick together more than it
has in the past to survive economic
ally.
Allvine said it has been his own
observation that young people, after
getting their degrees, are finding it
difficult to break away from the fami
ly and support themselves “and
they’re moving back in with their
parents.”
Some families, he said, are con
verting their homes and garages to
accommodate the return of their
young.
Ties to the family are being ex
tended, said Allvine. “I think it’s
coming as a shock to the young
generation that they’re finding it
hard to buy new cars and rent apart
ments. Single-family dwellings are
largely getting out of the reach of
families.
“Their access to the good life is
much more limited,” said Allvine,
who thinks young people are being
victimized by infation more than the
older people, who got their start dur
ing the 50s and 60s and already have
made their basic investments in life.
Teacher suspended
for refusing papers
United Prfiss International
DETROIT — A high school En
glish teacher who calls herself “firm,
but fair” has been suspended for 10
days without pay for refusing to
accept overdue term papers from
four students.
Lillie Mann, a 12-year veteran
who teaches at Mackenzie High
School, said she will appeal Tues
day’s Detroit Board of Education
ruling to the State Teacher Tenure
Commission.
“Firm, but fair — yes,” Mann said
of her reputation among students. “I
have a reputation around the school
and the students are aware of it.
They come into my class and they
already know what I expect. ”
Last May, Mann refused to accept
overdue research papers from four
college-bound seniors. When
ordered by Principal Cleon Gilliam
to accept the papers and grade them,
she gave each an “E — no credit”
mark.
