But there is a cream prepara-

FORECASTERS-The staff Of

a pretty job of prediction when
it comes to writing up the calen-
dar Of the school year. The book
usually has to 60 to press about
10 weeks before school is out, SO
the poor hard-working editors
never can be certain about hap
penings after the deadline hour
strikes. What a problem! They
have to try to guess accurately.
even after they have long begged
committees to set dates for dances
or other events. Somebody-or
several people are always late
with the needed information. And
after the Great Book" has come
out, Teens wonder why the staff
has put the wrong date down for
such-and-such an event. You

own allowances, and be at home
at regular times to see to their
meals and general welfare. Teens

However, it's not parsimony
that prompts Miss Peters to
cling to her salary. Her true
wants are extremely simple.
Moreover. she refuses to live on

esty. Vanessa Brown, also a

timony of this.

As you might guess, she got

URANIUM'S EASIER TO FIND THAN CALVES IN DAIRY CONSCIOUS MATANUSKA VALLEY

Noticed any slightly pink Xii wanis countenances lately? Just mention calf and watch that pink deepen to a full-glow red. The reason? An, thereby hangs the tale.
 In late February, Kiwanians an- nounced plans for a new type of youth project-that of calf-rais- ing. It was exactly the kind of contest they take most interest in it would provide worthwhile objectives for dozen or so young people (that figure was an off hand Kiwanis estimate) and it would give the coming Valley fair a boost by providing a new class of exhibits, come fall. It was, in- deed, worthwhile project from every point of view. So, applications were taken, ap- plicants solicited and found and the Kiwanis Club now finds itself with six young people who have met all tests and now stand ready to take charge of a calf. There's just one draw back, though-no calves.

Club members have left no stone unturned, but they haven't been able to find calf under any of them. They'd even buy the animals, if they could find one single farmer in this whole wide Valley who would sell any. (How- ever, gifts are preferred, of courSe)
 Now committee members M. D. Snodgrass, Ava Saxton and James Hurley are voicing a con- certed plea to all Valley farmers: For Kiwanis sake, won't you sell us, lend us or give us any spare calves you have cluttering up your dairy barns. We need six"
 Meanwhile, Robert Hartman (and he needs a sponsor as well as a calf), Betty Jean Clark, Den his Busby and Diane Short, as we'll as two unnamed Anchorage boys and girls, are preparing empty stalls in family barns for the arrival of a calf. They know they'll get one-Kiwanis prom iSed.

CHRISTMAS is upon us once
more and wherever freedom reigns
and Christianity holds sway the
event viii again be celebrated
with JOY and thanksgiving.
In form and content the celebra-
ton Of Christmas will vary with
the custom of the country in which
it's observed. But there will be no
mistaking of the spirit. Christmas
viii be Christmas.
Take q look at typical celebra-
tons of Christmas-old and new
around the world. christmas today
is known as Yule of the northern
Europeans The Noel of the
French, Heiligen Weinachten of
the Germans, the Noche Buena
of the Spanish.
Since earliest times many of the
inhabitants of the world have OBJ
served hat there is a period during
tie year when "the days begin to
lengthen and the cold begins to
strengthen, or as others express
it, when the earth begins to wax
en- under the kiss of light, when
new hopes rise in frozen hearts,"
Once upon a time, tradition had it
that in winter the u actually
stood still for forty days :.
based, no doubt, on the presence
of the Midnight Sun. In this con-
nection the people of the North
Country considered the sun as a
wheel which alternately threw its
glow upon the earth and away
from it. Thus this sun wheel was
known as hweol and, perhaps, from
this was derived the word, "yule."
Today in the United States we
take our Christmas celebration for
