Amazingly enough, it seemed sort of stable, riding along on that wave. It was kind of fun! Stand up, did he say ? And look like all the surfing ads? Sure. Why not? I stood up. For a brief moment I was riding along like any champion. Something I didn't realize about a surfboard is that when you fall off one. it apparently has a homing device which seeks out its rider in order to Ixsnk him on the head. This, added to the injury' sustained as I tumbled under a wave and onto a bed of jagged coral, made me think perhaps wed just close up shop for that By Terrell Dnugan Take one fat iki Now put a pee torn I fin on bottom, change your snow to blue moving liquid with monsters lurk ing inside, and what you have is surfing. What you may also have min be injuries from head to toe . but I am getting ahead of myself I thought I knew what I was about. After all, I read the Snoopy stuff. I see how he tucks his surfboard neatly under his arm and yells, Surfs up!" as he marches smartly to the waves. Listen, Snoopys arms must come down to his ankles in order to get that thing under his arm The one the instructor handed me was the size of Jaws belly 1 dragged and shoved it to the water's edge and fell down exhausted as the teacher instructed us on ho' to paddle with it and so forth Once out in that water, I knew tn only hope was to make friends with the instructor, whose name was Leroy, and who told me to think of the rolling sea and crashing waves as one big swimming PH1." Apparently he had iu mind that you ignore the seaweed grabbing it-- , . . day As I struggled with the board . on the beach, getting knocked down with each wave, the board rolling over the top of me, I wondered what on earth 1 thought I would loe about surfing, when 1 consider skiing iho single most practical joke eyer played on mankind. Leroy was still calling me from the waves to come back in and join my class as I turned the hoard in and returned to my true calling in life: Just lying there, in the sunshine, smelling the flowers.

I .ernv showed me how to sit up on the surfboard, by wrapping my legs around it. He said I was the only student he'd ever had who could turn the thing upside down by just sitting there. It sort of set me apart from the rest of the class. Leroy took us out to a point where I thought you lioarciod a battleship, but he said you had to go out that far in order to get a good wave. He pointed me toward the shore and said, "Now when I yell 'paddle, you paddle and see what happens. Along came a wave, Leroy yelled paddle. I did. No. lady, hard! Paddle hard!" To my relief. 1 had missed the wave.

Sid tie y Margolius is a member of the President 's Consumer Advisory Council. NEW YORK (WNS) Buying health insurance to cover just one dread like cancer or disease, heart disease, is little around for all the class members, when 1 say paddle. I mean 1 want v ou to get your hands wet. He seemed to misunderstand. Then I would have to stop clutching the board. While I was reflecting on the fact that perhaps 1 could just lie there clutching and finally be washed ashore with the seaweed, a wave caught me. Yeah! Yeah! O SMART BRIDE mflRGOLIU Shop? FOR THE CONSUMER more than medical roulette. Your present health in- Youre gambling that surance already covers likely to succumb to one highly publicized disease than to the many others that might befall you. Yet. despite the irrationality of buying insurance to cover you for just one disease, cancer-insuranc- e youre more promotions have proliferated recently. It's true that there has leen a slight increase in the cancer death rate in recent years. But the leading health risks by far are cardiovascular diseases including heart disease, strokes and arteriosclerosis. These account for 52 percent of deaths compared to 18 percent caused by cancer. Other major illnesses include pneumonia and influenza, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases and many others. You need insurance, of course, to protect against the high cost of treating dread diseases, as well as for less costly but still costly illnesses. Even accident insurance, which pays only for accidents, is not a good investment in protection. It could be better to put the money into a more comprehensive policy paying benefits for any needed medical care, whether resulting from illness or accident. Perhaps the costliest type of specialized insurance is the notoriously acoverpriced cident insurance sold at airport txxiths. Such insurance includes a commission for the airport operators (as much as 25 percent in some cases) plus the insurance comyou for partment at your state capital to make sure the company is licensed to sell in Iho state. Otherwise, in case of a subsequent dispute, the state insurance department has little leverage to assure you fair treatment. Felt-Buchor- n 445 East South Temple Salt LakeCitv.
