indeed, be construed as objec-

Enjoys Snow

1t was tie snow no one
wanted. 1t came too late
even for the sentimental
people who respond to Bing
Crosby's I'm Dreaming of
a White Christmas" and all
that stuff.
And too late for the kids.
Although it gave them a
holiday, they did not react
by rushing out with their
sleds as they would have in
an earlier snowstorm.
Only a few days ago they
had been playing baseball.
And now the little run at
the foot of the hill is stopped
frozen between banks of
snow no one wanted.
But JEFF didn't know this.
JEFF is the collie owned by

and when it started he gave

plunged through the drifts,

His enthusiasm was al
most infectious - but not

Why was that? Well, for
one thing, there was the car

that has changed our atti-

share Jeff'S enthusiasm. We
might even share the feel

the little stream between the
snow banks-a feeling that
caused landscape artists
Ernest Lawson and Edward
Redfield and others - to
paint such scenes again and
again.
Snow can be fun and you
don't have to be a child to
enjoy it. Watching the
whirling white eddies while
slipping a second cup of cof-
fee, the Rambler remem-
bered two occasions.
One was a day at Mont

every day to Chester Bowl,
a public park, to watch the

little skiing but wouldn't
take the jump they have for

The jumps from the big

thrilling. The boys would

Boys, 6 and 8,
Heard in Case of
GIenmont Fire

Two Montgomery County
brothers. 6 and 8 years old, ap-
peared in Juvenile Court yes
terday to face charges that
they set fire to an elementary
school.
Wilson T. Renwick, a proba-
ton officer. said the boys were
caught after a June II fire
caused 1,085 damage at Glen
mont Elementary School.
He said firemen believe the
blaze was started when lighted
matches were dropped through
a hole into the schools base
ment. A book of matches was
found at the school.
A similar book of matches
was found by investigators at
the boys home, Mr.. Renwick
said. They have denied starting
the fire, he said.
Judge Alfred D. Noyes, at
yesterdays informal hearing
decided the 8-year-old should
undergo psychological testing
before the case is decided. Mr..
Renwick said commitment to
an institution would be unlikely
because of the boys age.
The judge decided nothing
should be done in the case of
the 6-year-old because of his
age.
