 Importance of coordinating both skills is illustrated by the 1860 Olympic contest. Victor Arbez of France finished the course in the least time but missed IS targets. When the 36-minute penalty was added to his score, he placed only 18th.
 The team is now undergoing intensive training in anticipa- tion of the 1864 Olympics bia- thlon competition. The team will leave for European com petition around the first of January.

 The man who did the leg work on the projected coal-to- gas changeover at area military installations, Casberg said he had gotten so many vlrulent letters from Matanuska Valley residents that he wanted to see for himself if their bite was as bad as their bark.

 The jolly old Saint and his fam ous reindeer are zooming through the Arctic skies right now, head ing for the American border He'll reach it tonight.
 The Northern Lights switched on to a clear, steady green the "go-ahead' signal. And the Royal Mounted Police sent Santa this message:
 We are clearing all air lines in your path, old boy. There is no speed limit for you tonight. The sky is yours. Go as fast as you like Good luck.''
 And Santa needed that wide clear road in the sky For his big red sleigh was piled so high with gifts it overflowed. It looked like flying hayrack as it raced through the cold crisp air.
 "Oh, dear; oh, dear worried Santa, just before the takeoff. T do hope none of the presents fall out and bean some poor innocent rabbit down beloW.I believe this must be the heaviest load I've had in 20 years"
 What is he fretting about?" whispered Donder to Vixen. He's only riding in the sleigh We have to pull it.
 Just then Mrs. Santa Claus came running out waving a long piece of paper.
 You almost forgot your list of good children" she said.
 Never mind,' replied Santa. T don't need it. This year I'm going to give a present to every little boy and girl, good or bad. The bad ones will feel sorry then, because they know they don't de- serve nice present. It'll make 'em try harder to be good next year"
 ''That isn't according to Hoyle," said Mrs. Claus, who likes to play bridge. "Buit it does make sense, you old softie''
 Santa stood up to crack his whip in the air-the signal to be off. But then he heard small voice crying:
 Wait! Please wait"
 It was Cluny, Santa's favorite little elf. The other elves gossiped about Cluny and said she was clumsy at making toys. But Santa knew it was only because she was so young. He liked her be- cause she had good heart.
 "Here,' said the tiny elf, hold ing up a small shiny figure Whats this? Whats this?" grumbled Santa. "You're too late. My pack is already loaded"
 "It is only my present to the world said Cluny. s'I made it at night in my room-all by myself" Santa took the little figure from her hands. It was beautiful angel with butterfly wings and a robe of purest white. In her hand the angel held a small magic wand Tt is the angel of peace,' ex- plained Cluny. Why, Cluny," said Santa, "this is better than all the other gifts put together. I'll see that your angel waves her hand for one day at least over every home in the land."
 And he picked up Cluny and gave her a big whisker- -tickly kiss on her cheek. Then he picked up his long whip again and cracked it sharply in the frost air
 ''Ho, ho, ho! here We go!" he roared. "Ho, ho, ho! here we go."
 The eight reindeer leaped for ward and the big sleigh began sliding through the snow. Faster, faster, faster-and then they were off the ground and into the air
