There are three ways to climb hills on skis. For steep hills, the side step is used. For average hills, the skier uses the half side-step. For uphill trails, herring -boning is the best method.
 The side-step is like it sounds. The skier places his poles in the slope and raises and edges his or her up- hill ski into the slope. The down. hill ski is then brought up close to and parallel with the uphill ski The step is then repeated.
 The half-side-step is similar to the side-step but is faster. The skier raises the uphill ski and puts it ahead of and one foot uphill from the downhill ski. The down. hill ski is then brought up close to the uphill ski and AHEAD of it. The step is then repeated.
 Fastest of the uphill steps is the herring bone, so called because of the track it leaves in the snow. If, however, herring -bonig is done on too steep a grade, it is tring.
 The student should turn the toes out until his or her position is the reverse of the snow-plow position. The left ski is then brought forward, it's back end passing over the right ski. The right ski is then moved forward ahead of the left ski. It is exactly like walking.
 After good climb, the skier wants to rest. With skis close together, the skier puts the points of his ski poles into the snow foot ahead of his feet. The skier then rests his or her weight on the poles and relaxeS.
 When you have mastered these simple steps, you are ready to &C., quire proficiency.
 Ski heil!

Happy Holiday
BY PIERRE ]. HUsS

BERLIN, Dec. "a 0.N.S0.-On
orders from Reichsfueher Hitler,
Nazi Germany today began OBJ
Servation of a Christmas armis-
tice" along the lines of the chan
lcellor's declaration after the
Munich agreement that Germany
would be able to have its happiest
and most peaceful Christmas
season since the World War.
Before leaving for Munich on
his way to spend Christmas in his
mountain-top chalet above Berch-
tesgaden Hitler, according to in
dicationS in Nazi circles, gave the
order for the holiday "armistice.'
Last Word Not Said
1t was quite obvious, however,
that the last word had not been
said in the situation created by
the Cleveland speech of Secretary
of the Interior Harold L. IckeS
and the United States rejection
of the German protest against
his remarks.
Despite vigorous attacks today
on Senator Key Pittman, chair
man of the FSreign Relations
| Committee, and other american
officials, publisl1gd in the govern
ment-inspired press, the thoughts
of the German people were on
family observation of the holiday
which always has been particu-
larly dear to the Germans.
