skills of parenthood, according to
iKay Dutton.-a social worker for the
Lincoln ?ubllc Schools. :

"It is not possiblewlth the size
of our staff to follow up on every
case," Dutton said.
. Gldorf Heskett, the Lincoln
rublic School's student services
director said everyone in the school
' system is overworKea.
"Our social workers help famil
ies that have been identified as
"having difficulties which are hand

Heskett sa?d.

explained. They visit families with
problems and direct them to the
Another duty of the social
workers is managing the free lunch
program, which last year provided
meals for over 2,800 students.
They also investigate causes of
suspected child abuse, he said. t
The school system employs six
psychologists, who work closely
with the two social workers, the
student services director said. Both
the social workers and psycholo
gists are paid on the same salary
scale as teachers, he said.
' Heskett said the social services
are adequate for the school
system's purposes.
"I think there is always a greater
demand for the services than the
services are able to provide,. ; he
said. ; ' '
Cindy Fliescher, the other social
worker, .said the services are
watered down. For many families,
she said, it takes several visits to
convince them they need the
services of an agency. Many won t
go and then the child suffers, she
said.

Silent. , . ,
Everything's too silent for a grocery store s
grand opening. Despite a calliope of
Pennants and man-sized banners, the store
Darkinq lot exudes an eerie stillness at 3 a.m.
ike an arena anticipating some event. The
Coliseum awaiting the Christians. Or the Big ,
Top without the canvas. , . .....
At spastic Intervals, shadows dribble
through the. murk, gliding staggering,
nodding or chattering, Wrut people frequent
grocery stores past the witching hour
The checker stood beneath a technicolor
collage of balloons. He said the pre-dawn
crowd was young, "mostly; undsr 35 years, of,
ana " ' ' 'r' "
Although he said they had "quite a few
drunks," they had no rowdiness, .
"Our biggest trouble is ?wp shoplifters,

The Checker at ahbther,; '24-hayr -grocery
mentioned one regular; late-night: Customer,
"an elderly guy who always came in smelling
like a garbage can." 7-"v-0-; -1
"He'd spray air freshener over himseir,
then read the dirty books until we kicked him
out," the checker said,
i. Two young men passed through; purchas
ing peanuts and Hostess Twinkies. The
checker stifled a yawn.
"We smile a lot to stay awake," he said.
"VAhn wfi're alone we veil and throw things
at each other. Like loaded mouse traps.
The store's baker is wide awake. And he
smiles a lot. A smile pre-dipped in silver
cleanser. , ' . ,
The baker said he had suffered a
concussion and a dry ice burn since his
employment. One evening while running
down the basement stairs, he hit his head on
a steel beam.

"The ice cream began thawing ana
running ail over the floor. We took all the ice
cream out of the freezer upstairs to move
downstairs," the baker said. .
"After we had the ice cream out on the
floor, we realized we didn't have any power,
so the conveyor belt wouldn't work to put the
icecream in the freezer." .
Using flashlights, the store's two other
employes replaced the ice cream while the
baker bought dry ice, he said. . ,
"I crushed 700 pounds of dry ice with part
of my car's rear axle," he said. We
sprinkled the ice in our freezers to refreeze
the ice cream. I didn't get all of it off.
He displayed a scar on his forearm.
But the baker said he enjoyed his work. .
He smiled that smile, shot from guns.
"Want to know how I stay awake?', he
asked. "I have fun. Life's too short not to
have a good time."
Thenhe waxed poetical.
"If you want to know a place to
come Where you can laugh and have some
fun," he began..
The checker groaned, but the baker
continued.
"You can tell your kids when you're old
and grayThe time you visited IGA."
