is now covered with a beau
tiful blanket of snow. We had
snow for two days last week,
and the ground is yet covered.
| have put in my order for
white Christmas, but every
one says it has been years
since Denver has had snow
for Christmas Day. | think,
though, what | like most about
our new home city + that one
does not have a constant pre-
occupation about race and |
feel more nearly like an Am
erican citizen than I've ever
felt in my life. / hope that
this comfortable feeling will
never allow me to forget and
have an active concern for
what is now happening in Mis-
sissippi.
Our school work is progress
sing nicely. John has, from
the very beginning, been like
the rabbit thrown in the briar
patch as far as his work goes.
For this, | am very happy.
AS you might imagine, | start
ed my work a virtual green
horn, but am moving into the
swing of being a schOolmarm
again. Bunky likes his high
school fine and is hoping to
make the first sophomore baS-
ketball team. Sue is begin
ming to get used to being a
part of a university campus
of IL 900. She is sharing her
apartment with former Lin
coin University student, so
she has more close compan-
ionship now. vi vi has ac-
copied her new home like a
veteran, and is, perhaps, the
only one of us who has not
been a bit homesick (smile).
| hope to tell you more
about the Denver School Sys-
tenn in later letters. At pres
ent, the schools are in the
midst of controversy concern
ing the observance OF Christ
mas. Catholics, the Civil Lib
critics Union and several other
groups are concerned about
the use of school time and the
school day in promoting
Christmas programs which
have religious or worshipful
aspect.
We are yet domiciled here
on Gaylord. We are hoping to
have time to begin seriously
the job of houSe-hunting dur
ing the holidays, and hope
that when our spring break
comes in March, we will be
able to be in our own home.
We have missed hearing
from all of you and are pretty
much in the dark about Mis-
sissippi doings, except what
Mama writes in her letters.
Please write us, and do come
to see us as soon as you can.
John joins me in sending
love and best wishes for a
Merry Christmasl - Gladys

US. Hits the Jackpot :. TWO
 Satellites Get Into Orbit Today
Air Force Orbits
 Hurricane Hunting Satellite TirOs III

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. R - A hurricane hunting weather satellite was fired into orbit to- day to gather information on the origin, development and move ment of the monster tropical storms.
 A 92-foot Thor Delta rocket cor rying a 285-pound Tiros III satel- lite roared aloft from Cape Can averal this morning.
 It went into a nearly perfect circular orbit with it's most dis tant point from earth the apogee-450 miles out, it's closest -perigee- 425 miles away. It is circling the earth once every 100 minutes.
 In Washington spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Agency reported that the Tiros III transmitted 35 pictures of the earth's cloud cover on it's first pass around the globe. The p1CluIeS Idhel WItIl Wlue-d1lSl6 television cameras, were trigger ed by signals from the Space Agency's Wallops Island, Va, station.
 The pictures showed cloud for nation over New Foundland, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St Lawrence Valley region. The launching today was plan ned to coincide with the season in which hurricanes normally form in the Atlantic and Carib- bean.
 The Waterglass-size cameras also were to photograph other areas of the world during these periods and throughout the month of August.
 From their vantage point in space, the cameras are designed to snap 32 pictures each on every 80 minute orbit Each photo is to cover an area about 800 miles square.

First Missile-Alarm Satellite to Pass Over Soviet Union Now in Orbit

POINT ARGUELLO, Calf. R- The United States today fired - into record 1,850-mile-high orbit the first missile alarm satellite to pass over Russia.
 The Air Force expressed sur prised delight both with the height and the nearly perfect cir cle.
 High altitude benefits the eff fectiveness of Midas detection system, the Air Force said, be- cause it permits a larger scanning area.
 Midas III is circling the globe once every 2 hours and 40 min utes. The orbit is approximately circular, that will carry it re- peatedly over Soviet territory.
 The orbit was achieved by re- starting the satellites engine over Africa for brief burst that in creased altitude and made the orbit more circular.
 NIudS Ill IS pioneering Sdlel- lite series aimed at giving nearly instant warning of hostile missile firings. In it's nose is an infrared eye which can sense heat from the exhaust of missile blasting off hundreds of miles below.
 Midas and its sister satellite the camera-carrying Samos, are designed as space-age replace ments for the U-2 spy plane shot down over Russia more than a year ago.

 When the landing gear of the plane buckled under the impact of striking the protruding taxi way, the right wing dipped and one of the wing tanks was ripped off, igniting the jet fuel.

Matt Cullen from Ford Foundation Pays Visit to Nome

Matt Cullen visited Nome visit ed Nome yesterday while on a quick week tour of the state for the Ford Foundation. A study is underway by the Ford Founda- ton concerning the feasibility of contributing to staff services for the legislature.
 This particular project under the Ford Foundation started in Washington, D. C., Cullen stated and was so successful that it was tried out for the past three years at state level in California and proved so valuable that the states of Washington, Hawaii, Okla homa, Kansas, Illinois and In- diana are now using the service.
 This service to the legislature is the granting of funds to grad uate students who are planning on law as a career or working toward a doctorate in political science, sociology, economics and other related social sciences. These students will do research and pre- pare reports for the legislators of both the minority and majority l leaders leaving these persons more time for their other duties.
 This results in specially train ed people, preferable from uni versailles within the state, but also recruited from other states. Those
 recruited will usually remain to
 use their training and talent for
 many years. Their experience is invaluable for future studies. The Ford Foundation became
 interested in this field because so much support was being given to science and engineering and so little emphasis or encouragement was being given to students in this field of work.
 A million and a half dollars has been set aside for this prOj- ect and MT. Cullen estimates that five or six such students could be used at the Alaska Legislature if the state choses to provide matching funds with the Founda- ton for their salaries. Ford Foun- dation also pays for the adminis- tration of the program for these special "internes."
 On this trip he will visit An chorage, Fairbanks, Kotzebue and Juneau. MT. Cullen first became interested in Alaska while doing research on Alaska as assistant to Sen. Henry Jackson of Washing ton State in 1854.
