LYNDA BIRD
WILL LEAVE
u. OF TEXAS

Miss Lynda Bird john
son has decided, on her
own, to leave the Univer-
sity of Texas at the end of
this semester, about the
middle Of January.
The daughter of the
President and his wife will
move back to Washington
and into the White House
at that time. It is under
stood that she will con-
tinue with her studies
here, but no college has
been definitely decided on
at this time.
In her second year of
college, Miss johnson re-
portedly made her decision
after her father became
President. Being a very
close family, dependent on
each other, this will prob
ably mean a great deal to
the President and Mrs.
Johnson. Lucy BaineS
johnson Is attending the
National Cathedral School
for Girls here.

Comes to the White House

Red Nosed Reindeer. Mrs.
johnson also uses a good bit
of holly and miStletoe
(grown on the ranch) for
decor in their Texas home.
The wreath on the door at
the ranch this year is a gift
to President and Mrs. john
son. Women Of West Virginia
made it and presented it
through the Arts and Crafts
Committee Of the West Vir-
ginia Centennial Commission
and the Kanawha County
Parks and Recreation De-
partment.
A Sight for Tourists
The White House will
again give a thrill to the
many tourists who will first
be able to see it on Christ
mas Eve.
A focal point will be In the
Blue room, the circular State
receiving room on the first
floor, There on the north
side Of the room will be a 12-
foot balsam tree decorated
with multicolored balls, pre-
dominately In blue.
The former First Lady,
Mrs. John F. Kennedy, al
ways had this tree done as a
"children's tree" a copy of
the Nutcracker Suite tree. 1t
made every child's eyes
dance with delight. Mrs.
Kennedy left the decorations
to the White House, but it is
understood that Mrs. john
son felt this year that this
decor should be put aside un-
til another year in reverence
to the late President.
