Warm Climate YuIe

Unlike Christmas in colder
states, the Yule season around
the winter resort of Phoenix
Arizona and the Valley of the
Sun means no snow but bright
sunny skies. 1t seems a bit
strange to tourists perhaps, but
local folks do all they can to
prove summing is more fun
than shoveling. Special din
ners, festivals and other aetiv-
tiles add a special flair and
gaiety to the Phoenix celebra-
ton.
One of the most colorful of
all the festivities is the annual

lots of fun for all.
Another common scene
around Christmas in Phoenix
comes with the luminarias.
These usually occur on Christ
mas Eve when many people
hold open house. Small paper
bags, partially filled with sand,
and having lighted candles in
the middle, are spaced out to
mark paths to homes. The ira
dition comes from the old Spa

Warding Off Witches
Led to Candy Canes

One Of the most popular
symbols of the Christmas holi-
days, candy canes, began with
an old superstition during the
Middle Ages. Europeans of that
period carried glass canes
filled with colored candies to
distract evil witches.
Belief was that the evil ones
become so interested in sort
ing the candies that casting of
evil spells was forgotten, re-

Thursday, the 18th, Army, Navy, and Marine recruiters vis- tied Kenai High. This is an annu- al meeting between the boys and the promoters of these various services. Although each represen- tative boosted his branch of the service, the boys were encouraged to stay in school until graduation.
 The Kenai Peninsula Intramural Track Meet is underway and an account of Kenai's part will be announced soon.
 Also on April Is, Miss Alice Roberts, girls physical education instructor, conducted meeting of all girls interested in forming Girls Athletic Association. A committee is drawing up plans for kenai chapter of the GAIA. Also at the same meeting, girls signed up for the girls track meet at KCHS to be held during the middle of May. A good-sized group of girls signed up for such events as the discus throw, shot put, 40-yard dash, 44O relay, and 44O endurance test, to mention only a few. The girls will train after school.
 KCHS band and chorus left for the Music Festival in Anchorage early Thursday morning. They will stay two days and come back Saturday night after their final performance. The trip is fun but it entails lot of hard work so these kids deserve a good round of applause.
 Wednesday was clash day at kCHS. No more need be said.

Citizens Protest
 Against Cow Season On Peninsula Moose

4,500 or more animals, persons speaking at the meeting express ed contrary opinion. Several with planes reported they had searched the hills thoroughly on numerous occasions and that they saw very few moose. They quoted various big game guides as hav- ing said the moose were scarce
 and hard to find.
 'We feel that these moose be- long to us-the people-and we
 should have some say, right or wrong, in trying to prevent ex- tinction of the herd," one spokes- man said.
 It was brought out that moose cannot be handled like elk or deer where the young animals, when left without mothers, run with the herd and the older ami mals break trails for the young which follow. A moose calf, left without it's mother, soon dies of starvation even if old enough to exist on browse due to failure of having it's mother to break trail through deep snoW.
 It was mentioned that "the ex- pertinent to reduce the age of the herd to eliminate the old COWS and make the herd more produc- tive for harvest, is impractical and impossible. It should be stop ped.'
 The heavy kills in the cow season and the late bull season, following so closely on the se- were winter early in 1862 in which many moose died, was deemed re- sponsible for the fact that there were few moose to be seen this winter, and not the fact that "the moose never came down from the lills."
 In addition to talking about the moose situation, preliminary discussion was held concerning borough organization prior to the general Peninsula-wide borough the following day.
 Charley Griffin, vice chairman of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Study Group, explained much of he borough study that had been made and briefed in the group on 'ome of the problems which would confront the area before borough organization was completed.
 Several of those at the citizens had not attended the borough meetings in the past but were present on Saturday.
 A closed season on sports fish ing for salmon was also discussed and the group was nearly unani- nous in opposition to such a pro- posal.
