ALBANIAN Club Greets
New Year on Summit
OF Lofty Pixies Peak

While most people will be cele-
brating New Years in comfortably
warm homes, theaters and other
amusement places, small group of
men will be battling bitter cold and
high snow drifts as they climb to the
top of Pixies peak.
Every year at the stroke of mid
night on New Years eve members
of the ALBANIAN club set off huge
display of fireworks from the sum-
NIT of Pixies peak. The mercury
has fallen as low as 40 degrees be-
low zero during the nine-mile climb,
and the wind blows relentlessly atop
the 14,110-foot peak.
Early in the afternoon of Decem-
Der 81 the hardy group will leave
Colorado Springs. They will ride in
automobiles as far as Manitou
Springs which is located at the base
of the peak. Their ride ends here,
and they begin their long climb.
At first the climb is easy, but
after the Half Way House is passed
the climbing becomes extremely diff
ficult. Snow drifts are more than
20 feet deep in places, and the in
cessant north wind whips the snow
particles with great force.
In addition to food supply, each
man carries his share of the fire
works. The trip is gruelling test
of endurance and strength. But the
men really enjoy it.

u. S. Had Quiet
Year During ~

No one knows what the year 1912
will bring, but 40 exactly 100 years
ago was relatively quiet one for
the United States.
In that year the national debt
reached the high level of more than
1854, 900. La grippe (infuenza)
was prevalent throughout the coun-
try. This year also saw Charles
Dickens visit the United States. and
the Horatio Greenough statue of
General George Washington was
placed in the federal Capitol.
Other events of national impor-
lance which occurred exactly one
century ago follow:
March 31-Henry Clay of Ken
lucky resigns from the u. S. senate.
May 2-Col. John c. Fremont
commenced an exploring expedition
to the Rocky mountains.
June 29-President Tyler vetoes

hshed by the Webster-Ashburn

and England.

Columbus Achieued
Greatest Discovery
Just $50 Years Ago

The year 1912 would ordinarily be
one marked by a great observance
OF some sort for the achievement of
Christopher Columbus in 1892. For
1912 rounds out $50 years since the
discovery of America.
In 1892, on the occasion of the
four hundredth anniversary, the
Chicago fair, one of the most re-
nowned in the world, took place.
But for World War II, 1912 would
have brought about another signif-
icant celebration.
Even as it is, there is some talk
of paying due honor to the great
navigator who, in 1892 like the
world we know in the dawn of 1912.
also had his darkest hour" before
the light burst on new world.
Joaquin Miller wrote of this hour
in Columbus life-and it could be
symbolic of the arrival and hopes
OF the year 1912. The poetry fol-
lows:
Then pale and wan he kept the deck
And peered through darkness.
All, that night, of all dark nights
And then a Ight-a light.

1t grew times burst of dawn
He gained-a world.
He gave that world its grandest lesson.

u. S. Only Sixth Rate
In Eyes of Father Time

Although the United States leads
the world in many ways, it is about
sixth rate in the eyes of Father
Time. He brings the new year first
to Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe
and most of South America before
he finally gets around to this coun-
try. Then for three more hours the
people of California must be salts
fed with 1941 before they receive
the fresh new year of 1912.
When the new year is born it
will be z a. M, December 81, in
our eastern cities; a. m. in the
central time zone; a. m. in the

Early Scots Used Bible
For GIimnSe Into Eufura

A glimpse into the future was be-
lieved possible by the early Scots
who turned to their Bibles on New
Years day.
The sacred book was laid upon
the table, opened at random and
finger was placed on the printed
page. The entire chapter was then
read, and the message it held was
then believed to describe in some
way the happiness or misery in store
for the person adhering to the prac-
tice.

Blackout No Worse Than Fog for Ferry Shippers

SEATTLE, WASH. - Blackouts
may cause trouble for motorists
and pedestrians but they mean little
to the captains who pilot Seattle's
fleet of ferryboats.
The blackouts, according to the
captains, are just child's play COM
pared to a real Puget Sound fog.
The ferries ply at ordinary speed
despite absence of lights. Running
lights-the usual port and starboard
lights-are used, and there are one

Colman Dock is one of the most
completely blacked-out structures
in Seattle. When ferry ap-

This is enough for the captains.

NAVY NEW REFUGE
 FOR MARRIED MEN
Marital Strife, Storms Ex- pected 10 Boost Recruit
 ing Service Records

'I'm looking for my husband, where is he," cried an excited visitor at the local Navy recruiting station the other day.
 "Why, he's in the Navy" suavely replied the recruiter who enlisted the gentleman in question a few days before.
 Send him back, I won't permit it." was the firm and confident comeback. But the experienced diplomat in blue had her there, and the little lady frantically listened to a solemn reading of the new Navy regulation concerning married men.
 Yes, it's happened already and will happen again. The boys who couldn't get the wife's permission before are winning ever since last week when the Navy discontinued its previously strict regulation Of requiring the wife's signature for married mems enlistments.
 The new relaxation, which fol- lowed an increase in family allow ances, may help the man whose wife is over -possessive, but it is aimed to help the chap whose wife has spite in back of her refusal. The majority or rejected, and dejected, mates are men who have been Separ- ated from their wives, or who are off speaking terms, or are in the midst of a feud. They previously have wearily made their way from the recruiting station with the words "No signature = no escape" :, echoing against their fighting spirit.
 But now the begging and Subju- gated husband Is no more.

HUMANE AGENT
 ISSUES APPEAL
Requests VacatiOnists Not to Abandon Pets at Sun=
 mer Homes

The annual appeal to vacationists returning to their homes not to de- sert their pets was made today by J. Seth Jones, General Manager of the Connecticut Humane Society.
 Each year, MT. Jones said, agents of the Humane Society are called upon to go to beaches or other va- cation spots to pick up stray anil mals. Perhaps the family waited until too late to look for the animal and when it could not be found had to leave without it; or perhaps they adopted the pet for the vacation period and left 1t behind. Either procedure causes needless suffering.
 MT. Jones pointed out that the Humane Society will dispose of any pet brought to it and he urged that anyone having pet that he must get rid of to bring it to the Humane Society rather than leave the ani- nal to fend for itself.

VALUE OF TIRE
 CASINOS HIGH
Don't Join ShOe-Leather Express" Advises Chair=
 man Lawrence Lewis

The value of tire casings-or "carcasses" as they are called by Lawrence L. Lewis of the Water bury War Price and Rationing Board-cant be overestimated.
 Today it is mere difficult to get a casing than to get certificate for recaps.
 Again and again, defense workers and others who have right to re- caps are stymied for lack of healthy castings and are put to plenty of in- convenience in trying to find them.
 The best way to avoid this incon- venience is to protect the castings now on your car, the tire doctor says.
 Avoid rough roads marked with "potholes. These can rupture a thinly covered casing irreparably.
 Don't bang into or slide along curbs. This practice will make you a member of the shoe-leather ex- press.
 And don't wear your tires down to the canvas before applying for recaps. AS soon as the rubber is smooth, your casing is exposed to danger.
