QUESTION: One of the things that bothers me most: is being in a.hurry. When . there are a lot of things to do, or when I get behind in a series of responsibilities I have, you can bank on it that I will dghten up. I get a funny feeling right in the pit ~of my stomach and I begin to get a little jittery - or perhaps a lot jittery. Then, when Pm already anything goes even a little bit -wrong, Pm almost a basket case. O ly.F am a guy who is pretty loose and relaxed but in this one situation where I have several. ‘things.to do one after the other and reed to. fit - them into pretty tight time- =. slots,’ I lose. my. composure _and am extremely stressful. Of course, when J'm like that, I make things worse still. What can a fellow do to tensed up, if smooth out a day that bs packed full? ‘STEWART: Two obvious suggestions, which are sometimes impossible to arrange, should be given consideration and a good try. The first is to leave out something that is in.your schedule and the second is to make changes in the times at . which you are to do certain things.-In each instance, you will need to clear with. the people who are banking on you. “I need to arrange to meet with you on Wed- nesday or Thursday instead of today. Can we work out something that does not in- convenience you too much?” Another plan that has helped me is to pile up some “safety points.” That is, plan your schedule by working back from an immovable appointment.

The legend. of the fairy flag FROM PAGE C6 NT small mountains, clean and pure, the main reason why Scotch Whisky is so distinctive and so -- Scotch. Almost each bend on the road of this sparsely populated island brings a shock from the con:antly changing landscape. From gently rolling hills,’ covered with the inevitable sheep, to the explosive and jaggedness of the Cuillins, famed in Scottish song, to the misty other worldness of the fairy gien. oy No big industry, . one distillery and an ancient way of life with few concessions. given to the tourist keep Skye unique: 4m the world. Driving “for miles along stony outcrops and coastal roads we visit tiny cottage industries housed in stone huts where silver crafts are carried out, operate and local artists capture the essence of their. world, Then there is the amous Dunvegan Castle, the fan seat of clan MacLeod, and the home of their sacred but tattered relic, the fairy flag. There are two. stories connected with the flag. house will be four courses One, by the more practical | and worldly, is thaf the flag was once a cloak woven in Thrace in the sixth century and came to the MacLeods from the Crusades. Color Televisions. ui knitting mills "The other is that long ago, a chief of the clan married a fairy princess and they lived _ in the fairy glen until a child was born at which time the princess had to return to her people while the chief returned to Denvegan. The child however, missed his mother and would cry all | night long. One night. the fairy princess crept into the castle, and gave the baby her cloak. The baby, of course stopped crying. Driving through the fairy glen with the mists curling around the rocks and hills, it is not hard to believe the latter story. Skye is the island where Bonnie Prince Charlie with the aid of Flora MacDonald, hid out from the English following the disaster at Culloden and it is the land where Flora MacDonald returned after emigrating to America, to die and be buried among her people on a lonely hill swept by the winds from the Atiantic. It is a land where the “sheep outnumber the people by thousands yet where dinner at a guest served on fine bone china with silver settings and coffee served in the lounge. It is a land where the signs on the shops are in Gaelic and where the banks are bilingual. And it is a land that time seems to have mercifully forgotten and which will truly haunt .your dreams until you return. Mr. Mileage Maker!
