IS Snakes, Lizard
From Aquarium

water boa snake, an 8-foot indigo
snake, a 6-foot indigo snake, two
5-foot boa constructors, and rare
SiameSe gekko lizard.
The gekko. owner Sylvester c.
Lloyd complained, will be easy to
recognize. because it's the only one
in captivity here.
ut has big feet; Mr.. Lloyd ex-
planned to a puzzled police SER
geant. "It's underside is like a
venetian blind and it also runs up
and down walls like venetian
blind. In Southeast Asia the gekko
is kept in hotel rooms to eat the
reaches. He runs around the room
all night making a noise that
sounds like 'gekko, gekko, gekko. I"

Campbell Is Denied
Vote Recount in First
Appeal 10 HouseGroup
BY the Assoeioted press

Edmund D.. Campbell. Demo-
cratic congressional candidate
who lost by 322 votes to Repub-
lican Joel T. Broyhill in virginia,s
10th District. has lost in his first
appeal for q ballot recount.
Chairman Boggs Of q special
House Campaign Expenditures
Committee said yesterday it would
be physically impossible" for his
group to conduct a recount in the
northern Virginia district, where
about $4,000 votes were cast, be-
fore the committee goes out Of
business January 2.
Further Steps Withheld.
MIR. Campbell said in Arlington
he was disappointed in the COM
mittee decision. He declined to
say. however, whether he would
carry his petition to the incom-
ing. Republican-led Congress.
He did say that IF Mr.. Broyhill
Will join me in asking the new
Congress to authorize a recount of
our ballots. it would permit the
doubt to be resolved"
In Richmond, meanwhile. At
torney General j. Lindsay Almond,
jr.. released an opinion saying the
State could not order or arrange
"a recount of ballots in a congress
sional election after the vote had
been certified. The opinion had
been requested by State Senator
John A. K. Donovan of Fairfax.
Points to Constitution.
Mr.. Almonds opinion pointed
to the fact that the United States
Constitution says that each
House (of Congress) shall be the
judge of the elections, returns and
qualifications of its members"
In his petition to the House
committee. Mr.. Campbell had said
he was confident there was mo
fraud or intentional misconduct"
on the part of election officials,
but he believed Mr.. Broyhilrs
election was in doubt because:
Il. There is a substantial pos
sibility that a number of honest
errors were made in counting.
20. There is definite evidence
indicating that a number of valid
ballots for Congress may have
been declared void by mistake.
"3. There is a substantial pos
sibility that sufficient errors were
made In counting and totalling
ballots and in failing to count
valid ballots to change the result
of the Congressional election.

YE OLD TYNE CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS They said it in ancient times and
we're still saying il, and although the significance remains the
same, basically, it has been kicked around and camoufaged
until each year folks are saying, and in increasing numbers,
@Oh for the OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS This yearn-
ing for the saneness and simplicity Of the old time YULE has
inspired citizens in many communities all over, bolstered their
attempts to bring back the sentiment and sincerity Of bygone
ChristmaSes. Of course you realize that a prime requisite Of
this commendable move is YE OLD TYNE FAMILY Of eight
or ten children. Am / hearing any aAyes@2
CHRISTMAS commentaries the birthday Of Jesus and
the SMALL FRY are given first consideration at this time. The
three WISE MEN brought gifts Of COLD, FRANKINCENSE
and MYRRH to the CHRIST CHILD and the tradition Of
gift giving has survived the centuries. Although children play
a major role, the grownups have horned in and are running
a terrific second, what with their reckless buying and mad ex-
changing Of presents.
A C IN 1885 when boys wore short straight pants and
long black stockings, and the PUG DOG was stylish (e is
becoming the vogue AGAIN. the AMERICAN ANT CLAUS
was modelled, more or less, after the European concept, a
rather tall fellow on the slim side, sporting q befurred robe
that reached down to his boots, the inevitable sack Of toys
and a benevolent expression. It was not long, however, when
we began to develop our own idea Of Santa and the short,
Jolly st. Nick, with the round little belly, that everyone knows
and loves has come to stay. Or has he? What with children
believing in him less and less each year, it is highly doubtful.
THIS DISTURBING possibility eyokes memories. You
pause and think, oh, to see Mother stirring the CHRISTMAS
UDDINC again, with the kids all standing around droolng.
waiting for the spoon, instead Of getting It ~ready-made from
the bakeshop Or department storel And oh for the informal
CHRISTMAS TREE Of yester-year, every branch, groaning
under tinsel candy canes, strings Of pop corn and c~ranberries,
gilded nuts, artificial snow and wax candles, all ~glorfying the
beloved CRECH on the floor beneath, instead Of the mod
ern white Or green trees they have pink and blue ones, too

HorrorSD trimmed with a definite color scheme in mind. Oh
for the gettogethers CHRISTMAS EVE to sing carols, happy
voices ringing out greeting St. Nick, the small fry tucked in
bed to discover the wondrous, mysticaly filled stockings over
the mantel and gifts piled beneath the tree. In the Virgin IS
lands, the stockings bulged with sugar marbles, remember
There were sweet breads, too, and sugar plums, raisins and
'prunes, and oh, wonders Of wonders, real American applet
But all this was as nothing unless the stocking was topped
with a SHEK-SHEK (ShakeShake) that little box adorabIy
covered with fancy tissue paper and gold and silver fringe
and mounted on a stick gay with tassels. Inside Of the box,
tiny pebbles made like chatter at the slightest move, and a
flag sprouted proudly from the top.
OH o HI day Of the Shek-Shek when the masquer-
aders danced in the streets and people, gay and festive, threw
open their homes and served CHERRY CORDIAL, GUAVA-
BERRY RUM and SWEET BREAD and the TUMBEES
danced high on their incredib e stills to the delight Of every
one. Gaiety, reyehy and feasting until THREE KINGS DAY.
Modern children poo poo" the Santa Claus concept. Little
do they realize that they are cheating Themselves out Of one
Of the most beautiful and satisfying experience of their lives.
They will never know the breathless expectancy, the waiting
for Santa to come nor the joyful ~fulflhment in discovering
their gifts. Glittering, brittle sophistication has destroyed this
glorious sentiment. Imagine, we don't even have to sing the
Carols anymore because they come canned" with
"RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER" and 7 SAW
