creased pdpil loads on travel
ing teachers in art, music and
physical educations on coun-

Policy Decisions
The problem Of giving eduea-
tional help to the emotionally
disturbed was another area DR..
Whittier claimed needed i'm

would require policy decisions
by the new board.
The superintendent's pro-

this amount.

The
Rambler
Makes His
Appointed Rounds
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Sleigh bells ring, are you
listening?
In the lane SnotD Is

From Walking in Winter Won
derhnd. ="
Neither snow nor Ice kept
the Rambler from his walk
yesterday. f.
Once ambulatory, after
being famed in an auto
mobile collision, he has been
making his walk as relig-
iously as a cleric saying his
office. sa
OF late he has been doing
half a mile a day with the
help Of a blackthorn that
Pat Carolan Of the Irish Air
lines had flown to him from
Shannon Airport.
This is not a shillelagh,"
said Pat. "A shillelagh is
shorter and heavier and
serves as a defensive weap-
on. If you need one, well be,
glad to get II for, you"
The Rambler hopes to ex-
tend that to a mile a day
soon and be- ready for the
tow path hike in the spring.
He has little hope Of SELL
ing this generation on the
fun of an old fashioned win
ter. But on one thing he is
sure all win agree: Walking
is better than driving in a.
snowstorm. 1t took us more
than two hours to get past
National airport Tuesday
night.
Yesterday was one of those
unusual days in this climate
when the sun shines but
does not melt the snow. The
temperature was 20 above.
1t was SO brilliant that he
wished he had worn. sun
glasses.
THE PIONEERING PEACH
tree near the curb that had .
opened some of its buds and
put out tiny leaves in the
false spring Of early Deem
Der had changed its mind
and closed them. b.
The only tracks in the
snow had been made by
hippety-hoppity birds.
The wind was fifteen knots
and that was a bit too much
for the rabbit that seemed
to enjoy playing hare and
hound each evening with .
neighbor's elderly basset.
Bunny was probably cow
ering on the lee side of a
rock or hillock, ready to run
only if II were absolutely
necessary
The walks In the court
were not shoyeled. I don't
believe aiiy Of us has a snow ]
shovel. This sort Of thing
just isn't expected. q
However, the wind was
sweeping the sidewalks clear
except where the tread Of
feet had left prints in the
snow. These were now raised
instead Of -indented.
My ears were tingling.
One n eighbor had the
foresight to erect scaffold-
ings over his boxes lockwood
bushes) to protect tn e m
from the snow. The snow did
look nice on top Of his
square clipped privet, hedge
and on the broad wax leaves
of his magnolias. Snow gave
the female holly tree with
its green leaves and red
berries special significance.
