gffts in a huge sack and came
down the chimney with them?
You can remember when you
tried and tried to figure how
man as large as Santa could come
down a chimney, but not for once
did you think it impossible, be-
cause in that day and time child
rem knew If their parents told
them anything, they believed 1t
was possible. Some people think
1t wrong to tell that story to their
children but I have talked to a
great many friends before writing
this and every one of them said
how happy they were Ito have that
memory Of waiting" for Santa to
come with their gifts and oh how
sad they were when the children
at school told them just how they
did receive their gifts.
Marianne was saying, "a little
girl my own age told me I was
silly to believe anything like it and
I was very sad when went home
and asked my mother to tell me
about Santa and If there really
was one. She told me it was hand
ed down from her parents to her
and she had such lovely memories
of Santa Claus bringing her gifts
to her that she thought she would
like to pass the thought to me, her
daughter, and she hoped I would
understand and always think of It
in that way.
Marianne said she told her chill
dren about Santa and how the
family gathered TO see their snil-
ing faces when they came down.
stairs and found Santa" had been
there. So, the rest Of the group
each told of their experiences, and
we all agreed 1t was a beautiful
story as long as it brought so
much happiness to many children
and their parents.
They, too, said 1t was a sad day
when they found out otherwise and
though other Christmas days were
happy ones they had lost some
thing when Santa didn't seem real
to them but they appreciated l1av-
ing had the joy Of knowing Santa
was on the way for the few brief
years he was so real to them.
Many parents today feel as
Marianne and let their children
know the joy Of waiting for Santa
to come. To the children, that Is
the longest night in the year.

portrait Of John r. Kennedy.
On Friday. the u residents of
the home. age 1917. were watch
ing television in the lounge when
the program was interrupted to
announce the news that President
Kennedy had been shot.
AS the children crowded around,
they learned with the rest Of the
nation that the President had died.
Shock, disbelief, and to some for
whom death had no meaning, In
difference registered on their faces.
"What viii Mrs. Kennedy tell
her children?" said one girl. "She
had to ten them that their baby
brother had died, and now she
will have TO tell them their father
is dead"
why was the President shot,
Sister,"
And still more questions:
What's going to happen TO the
Kennedy family?
Is Mrs. Kennedy going to be
taken out Of the White House?
Will she have enough to eat?
The children here knew more
about this President than perhaps
any other. They had heard more
about him.
HE was after all, the first
Catholic President we've ever had"
explained one Sister. He was a
leader OF not only the nation but
the Catholic faith as well.
"The children felt they knew
him, and they loved him"
At 4:30 pm, the children at
tended a special rosary service for
John Kennedy in the chapel. The
rosary was voluntary, but all of
the children came. It was the sec
ond time that every child in the
home had attended a rosary serv-
ice. The first was on the death Of
Pope John XXIu.
When they returned to the tele-
vision and radio sets, they heard
reports OF the captured slayer.
A ntne-year-old boy gritted his
teeth and threatened to beat up
and cut the guys arms off that
did It," He busted himself organ
izing gang" to help him.
Another boy said he would
punch his eyes out"
Some of the older children cried
but the younger ones were too full
of questions.
rs there going 10 be a war? If
there Is, I've got to get my work
done before the bombs come" said
a 12-year-old girl.
On one station it was announced
that a Negro male had been seen
with a rifle before the President
was killed. A 15-year-old Negro
girl said TO her companions you
might know, you Just might
know" she said.
I'VE want to send something to
Caroline and John-John" some
others said. Gould we make some
thing for Mrs. Kennedy"
All Of the children wanted to
know VINO would take MIR. Ken
nedy's place.
The Sisters explained that Vice
President Johnson would become
the new HreSluenL.
He doesn't look as kind" one
boy said. The other children nod
ded in agreement.
They watched the news until
bedtime, when small boy missing
during the evening, slipped into
the lounge.
Where were you? the anxious
Sisters asked him.
'1've been in the chapel" he
said, praying for our President. "

New Draft Order Will Exempt
 Married Men

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy yesterday ordered a halt to the drafting of married men so long as enough single men are available to maintain the strength of the armed forces.
 Kennedy signed an executive or der which provides that married men shall be inducted only after all single men in the 1925 age group have been drafted.
 Military sources said that, for the foreseeable future, enough single men will be available so that there will be no need to draft husbands.
 Only a major increase in mill tary strength, they said, would again place married men within the scope of the draft.
 It. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Se- lective Service Director, estimated that about one out of every five men now classified as A1-avail- able for service - is married and without children.
 A previous executive order said the halt to induction of married men will mean that young single men generally will be drafted at an earlier age. At present the av- craze draftee is about 23 years of age.
 Some IT million men are clas- Sified IA. This pool has been grow ing in recent years because of the crop of war babies" reaching the minimum draft age of Is.
 Hershey was called to the White House for Kennedy's signing of the order.
 The terms of the order exclude from the draft all young men who get married from this day for ward. The order is effective inn mediately.

Newspaper Ads Make Mass Production Possible

Your newspaper carries two kinds of advertising, Classified and Display. Your automobile, your clothes, your furniture and vir- tually everything else that you own has been bought by you large ly because of display advertising. A display advertisement in your newspaper enables you and your family to have what you need and want at prices which you can afford because it enables your manufacturer and merchant to move such huge mountains of mer- chandise. Your standard of living is higher than that of other na- tions because Display Advertising makes mass production possible; and mass production in America, more than any other single factor, is enabling the United States and it's allies to win the war against all enemies of civilization and progress.

"Nome is using good judgment in keeping things of the old days. May she never destroy her old board walks and may Fairbanks guard her old cabins,' she said.
 One of her most interesting trips, she said, was to Anaktuvak Pass in the Endicott Mountains. She said it was thrilling to fly over the Brooks Range of Mountains that stretch like huge wall for 500 miles across the country from west to east" and to visit diminishing tribe of inland Eskimos called the Nunamiuts, quite distinct from Eskimos of the Coast.
 "The Nunamiuts' religion has found expression in a mass of leg ends and myths which have been handed down from the Stone Age and a great number of them are still being told," she said.
 They are an artistic tribe in home building and mask making as we'll as making large laddles from mountain sheep horn. Beautiful in- deed and distinctive is their art" she said.
 In her extensive travelling, Mrs. Wheeler has visited many countries in Europe, Africa. Central and South America, the Fiji Islands, Australia, New Zealand, and Mada- gascar,
 Of all the places she has been, she said the most interesting was an island populated by the San Bias Indians off the coast of Panama. She said all the people lived in woven octagonal shaped houses and wore the same kind of clothing, all wore red and yellow scarfs over

 Dear Editor:
 feel deeply honored and grateful to be the recipient of the 18th North Star Award, given by Tundra Times.
 It came as a most delightful sur prise, I assure you. However, my work with the Alaska Native peo- pie, both adults and youth, has been so reWarding in friendships that feel that I am the one who has gained from our association and am undeserving of further award. Here at the University, come many of my former students. or children of parents whom I met and became friends with during my stay or travels in the "bush" I cannot help but take great personal interest in these young people, pride in their achievements, and concern for their problems. I have never hllO"I d SlOtp OI yOltiiS PtOlJlC "l4O appreciate a personal interest in them more than the Alaska Native youth-so this, too, makes any ef- forts expended in their behalf a real privilege.
 I feel that the North Star Award, bestowed upon me by Tundra Times, carries a special tribute in that it was awarded by an Alaskan Native publication.
 I thank you very much.
 Sincerely yours,

 The second and most unique place she has visited was Alaska's Little Diomede Island, she said.
 "The island appears to have re- suited from a volcanic eruption millions of years ago. The houses are built into the sides of the island and one has to go through short tunnels and enter vertically in the center of the home"
 The round entrances, she said were lined with ivory. skins covered the floor, seal oil lamps were used for heat, and each home had sky light in the roof to admit air and light.
 She said the people had large un- derground caches which they filled with iae to keep their meat fresh during the summer.
