Premier Nikita Khrushchev's vis

The top 10 stories of the year:
1. Khrushchev tours United

negotiate further on Berlin with

second rocket around moon and
takes pictures of other side. (Sept.

Hawaiian statehood nearly
made the list. The voters also
rated highly the Senate subeom
mittee investigation of labor rac
keteering. The monkeys Able and
Baker and their 300-mile high

If there had been a sports cat
egory Ingemar Johansson's vic

took the heavyweight champion
ship out of the United States,
would have led the list, followed
by the Los Angeles Dodger's play
off win of the National League
pennant and their World Scries
defeat of the Chicago White Sox.
Some added starters were pas
sage of the labor law, the pre-
i naiiKsgiving cranberry scare and
tne Montana earthquake. Few
votes ucre cast for Crown Prince
Akihito's marriage to a common
er, the Mexico floods, death of

usirg two new buses that it got
by collcc:i"g trading stamps
7.T0S.800 of them.
"It was somewhat unusual." ad
mitted an official of the Sperry
and Hutchinson Co.
The marathon stamp trade-in
was engineered by Father Colmai
Colloty. O.F.M., principal of the
school, after a (rout wheel fell
off one of the school's old buses.
He ro:e the trading stamp
company asking how many
stamps for something that wasn't
in the catalog the buses. The
compaiy wasn't quite su e. but it
told Father Colloty to siart collec
ting anyway. Then it divided that
books was just about the
right stamp price.
, Officials admitted the figure was
somewhat arbitrary.
In a six-month campaign, the
parish ser.t letters to the 8.000
Catholic schools in the nation say
ing "we don't want your money
we Just want your trading
stamps " The $:0 bill for postage
stamps was paid by men in the
parish.
The result was a flood of the
grcn stamps.
"We even received stamps is
sued as far back as l12." Fath
er Colloty said, "but the com
pany redeemed them along with
the others.
"We have gotten as much pleas
ure out of this inspiring project
as you have." said F.arl N. Keate,
Utah manager for the company,
as he presented the buses and
collected his 7,708.800 stamps.
