AlclC yOotil1dl Ndi OASto - 49,
a private elementary school,
La Petite Ecole, convene to
sing the familiar songs, in both
French and English.
Important part of the holi-
day season in California is the
famous ceremony of Christ
mas Tree Lane" at Altadena.
Huge deodar cedars border a
public throughfare in this city,
and at Christmas it is trans
formed into Christmas Tree
Lane" The trees are lit with
thousands of bulbs, turned on
at dusk on Christmas Eve, and
motorists celebrate h e spec
tacle by driving slowly along
| the lane.
The tall, graceful deodars
were brought to California by
Captain Frederick j. Wood
bury who, while visiting in
India, saw them growing on
the slopes of the Himalayas.
He returned with deodar seeds,
which he planted On his ranch.
In 1885 his sons transplanted
the young trees along w h t
was then the principal road
way to the Woodbury. ranch.
Richmond = City of c a n
delight" has been the Christ
mas theme for Richmond, Va,
for the past five years.
Taking the cue from Colon
ial Williamsburg, R h m nd
sought to initiate the rebirth
of an old-fashioned Christmas
tradition by urging residents
and organizations to place an
electric candle in every Win
dow"
T h e shopping area presents
triple candles in evergreen
bases set in the median strip;
from the windows of the gov
ernor's mansion and the CAPT
toll glow electric candles; in
coming planes are greeted with
candles at the airport; virtual
ly every building in the city
eooperates.
In French Canadian homes,
one of the highlights of Christ
mas is the "Reveillon," a mid
dle-of-the-night family feast,
for adults. The meal is served
after the return from midnight
mass but the preparations start
many weeks ahead.
Much of the food for h e
feast, nowadays, cente S
around turkey and trimmings.
But the traditional dishes, in
Guiding goose with nut stuff
ing, and such specialties as
"tourtieres," or spicy pork pies,
are still prepared for the Rev
eillon.
Community caroling in Han
over, Va, for the past 10 years
has been provided by a group
of actors from Barksdale thea
ire and friends.
Moving about the town in
red costumes and arryin G
lighted candles, the carolers
concentrate on houses with
children and elderly people.
They approach tn e houses
singing Jingle Bells" render
two more carols, and move
away singing Eve Wish You
A Merry Christmas"
Indian, Spanish and Ameri-
can cultures all contribute to
the ways of celebrating Christ
mas in New Mexico.
Prayer dances" performed
by the Indians unite their an
cient ceremonials with tn cir
present Christianity. Follow
ing midnight mass on Christ
mas Eve, they hold four days
of prayer dances. At Taos
Pueblo, Indians conduct pro
cession of torches during
| Christmas week.
The candles known as lum-
inarias are a Spanish contribu-
ton. Put up early in December,
they are used to outline walls
of houses and stores, as well as

curbs and driveWayS.
Then there is the ceremony
of the posada. For nine days,
the story of the Nativity and
the holy family's search for
shelter is acted out by church
es, hotels, social groups and
families.
And, along with all the fes-
tive and religious observances
of Christmas in New Mexico,
it's certain that the American
contribution, jolly old Santa
Claus, is we'll remembered.

WINTER SOLSTICE

Today's Yule Log, other
Christmas fires, even our tree
lights, are thought by some to
bark back to the days when
our remote ancestors built
huge fires during the brief
daylight of the Winter solstice
because they feared the waning
sun might darken forever.
When the days began to grow
longer, there were great cele-
brations by these ancients,
who felt that their earthly
fires had helped revive the sun.

 The elementary school engages 35 teachers; two kindergarten, four first grade and four second grade, and three teachers in each grade beginning with three and ending with eight. Five teachers teach part-time in the elementary school.
 Teachers new in the system are Katherine Dissinger, grade one; Shirley Gotten, grade two; and Stuart Sitter, grade six. A total of 213 pupils are assigned to sessions in the Down Town school. Eight teachers work in the Down Town school.

1eavv Enrolment In Kodiak Schools Taxes Present Classroom Facilities

A total of 1,132 enrolled in the Kodiak schools by the end of the first week of school, according to Ivor Schott, superintendent of the Kodiak Independent School Dis trict.
 Of that number, 787 enrolled in the elementary schools and 345 in the high school. The enrolment has created a problem for school officials.
 'The high school facilities are greatly overcrowded," MT. Schott stated. Some classes have 39, and twelve classes have 35 or more in each session. In an effort to serve the needs of the high school, two mathematics classes are held in elementary classrooms, all French language classes are held in ele- mentary classrooms and one room in the elementary wing of the main building is set aside for music classes. The shop facilities are used to capacity and some students have been guided out of an industrial arts course because of limited fa- cilities in the shop"
 MT. Schott ponted out that the existing facilities were designed for 250 pupils. With the 345 en- rolled at this time, he stated, the new addition planned for 1864 construction will only relieve an overcrowded condition existing at this time.
 In placing pupils in the down. town building it has been neces- sary to assign pupils of any par ticular grade level who live nearer that school than do those in the same grade level who are assigned to abundance in the Main School building. Also, in order to equal. ize room load, those children who ride buses are likewise, in some instances, transported to the Down Town building classrooms.
 The high school has g instruc- tors, all but five of whom teach full time in the high school; five teach both high school and ele- mentary school subjects. New on the high school staff are Ethel Rauch, librarian-study hall; Betty Ann Stone and William Ernest, as Vanden, mathematics; Carolyn

New Paint Claimed
To Protect Cutters
BY o. N. DERWIN

Maintenance Of house gut

busy occupation which recurs

Unless one really protects
the house cutters, rot will
occur almost as often In
metal As In wood. The type
Of material matters little un-
less precautionary protective
measures are taken and gut
ters cleaned out at least
twice q year.
Now available Is q rot
proof gutter paint which, ac-
cording to the manufacturer,
will prevent wooden cutters
from rotting and will protect
metal cutters or caves
troughs, drainpipes and
downspouts against corro-
sion.
The black bituminous paint
Is brushed easily onto the in
terror Of the gutter, forming
q protective coating that is
impervious to moisture and
resistant to rust or corro-
sion.
The surface to which this
rot-proof gutter paint is to
be applied must be dry. Rust
on metal surfaces should be
removed with Q wire brush or
scraper. Once applied, the
coating will not crack or
peel and will not run or ooze

doubly ahead. Here's why:
The drawers stick because the
wood slides and the drawer
sides both swell up, due to
penetration Of dampness. Be-
fore you can do anything
about sealing the wood with
lubricant, you first have to
shrink the swollen wood
enough so the drawer can be
removed. This takes time,
even though it's not much
actual work. But you can
sidestep 1t by preparing the
drawers before they have q
chance to swell.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Ford Sees His Record
Too Varied for Labels

10 most guests at a see
the New Faces in Congress"
dinner here in January, l949,
Representative Gerald r. Ford,
jr,, Republican of Michigan,
was viewed mainly as an at
tractive former football star
of practically All American
caliber.
He had gained a seat in the
House, not merely by defeat
ing a Democratic candidate by
a substantial margin in Mich
igan's traditionally G. o. P.
5th congressional district, but
also by an earlier two-to-one
upset primary victory over an
incumbent House Republican.
Today the 49-year-old Mr..
Ford is the new chairman of
the House Republican Confer
ence because of an 86-78 up
set victory over the 67-year-
old Representative Hoeven of
Iowa, who had been chairman
since 1857. His blond hair is
thinning. but he is trim, hand
some and aggressive enough to
qualify him for a youth move
ment."
He's a Realist
Mr.. Ford is too much of a
realist to regard himself as
the image" of a youthful
David intent on eventually
bringing down the older Old
Guard G. o. P. leadership.
He is too much of a Repub-
lican to like being called the
G. o. P. counterpart of the
Democratic "Whizzer" White,
former gridiron great who rose
to the status of an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Ford is a Yale University
law graduate, but his ambi-
tions apparently are centered
on the legislative and executive
branches.
He regards his legislative
and political record as having
been too broad and varied to
stamp him with labels such as
conservative or liberal. House
Republicans such as Repre-
sentative Lindsay of New York
are considerably more liberal
than he in political philosophy
and voting records. But there
are many others, such as Mr..
Hoeven and perhaps House Re-
publican Leader Halleck, who
are more conservative.
Expert on Arms Expenditures
Mr.. Ford has made himself |
an expert on military expendi-
lures and now is third-ranking
Republican on the House APP
preparations Committee. That .
in itself would be enough to
keep many a younger legislator
busy all the time. The hard
working but sometimes decep-
lively easy-going Mr.. Ford has
shown remarkable versatility
and scope in other legislative /
interests.
Notwithstanding mis- attacks
particularly last year against
what he regarded as excessive
foreign aid spending in some |
categories, he describes him
self as an "internationahSt."
But his outlook is sufficiently
