Christmas Spirit
Reigns at School
For Past Week
Redmond, Dec. 22 (Special)
Yuletlde spirit has reigned this
week at Redmond union high
school, where a numher of pre
Christmas activities have been
under way.
Future Business Leaders of
America, KBLA, made door swags
and wreaths for the doors and
windows of the main high school
building, and made Christmas
greetings to be sent to the mem
bers of the faculty and personal
friends. This work was done un
der leadership of their instructor,
Mrs. Irene Boone. Monday morn
ing the group sang Christmas car
ols in the hulls and at the doors of
the classrooms. .
Boys in the vocational agricul
ture class gathered the Christmas
greenery for- the swags and
wreaths, the trees for the study
hall, and under the direction of
Mrs. Maude Lee and Mrs. Flo
Thompson, decorated the study
hall just preceding the FFA banquet.
Papjr in Colors
Panther Scratches, the school
paper, for which Mrs. Delia
Nance Is adviser, came out Tues
day in the traditional holiday col
ors. Quill and Scroll has placed a
banner-type - Christmas greeting
for the faculty and student bqfly
in the study hall. It was designed
by Carolyn Varney, who made
and hung the banner with the as
sistance of writing students, Alta
Dixson and Sue Skinner.
Creative writing classes have
written a complete Christmas pro
gram, which have been presented
before the Olla Podrida study
club and to the public. The latter
was a joint program with the glee
club. The writers have prepared
a humorous skit and a reading, to
contribute to the all-school Christ
mas entertainment Thursday
morning.
Mail Box
These classes have also mailed
a Christmas box to their "foster"
child, Jacqueline Des Muelles, a
nine-year-old French girl, adopted,
by them under the foster parent
plan, and they have planned a
"white Christmas" for a needy
family. This plan includes the
traditional Christmas for the chil
dren as well as the practical gifts.
Redmond branch of National
Honor society has designed
Christina's cards for the faculty,
the ministers, the aged and the
sick. These will be delivered per-.;
tonally by Honor society mem

idea of the writers, and has se-

Loggers Shovel
Deep to Cut Trees
Loggers working In the Big
Marsh area are carrying shovels,
us wen us axes aim saws.
Snow In the area, where a small
logging operation is under way
on West Town Lumber Co. hold
ings, is four feet deep. To cut
trees ut that height above ground
would result In too much stump
age waste.
So the loggers excavate around
the trees before starting sawing
yperauons.
Depth of the snow in the area is
.reported the heaviest this time of
tne season in many years.
Outlook Poor for
Waterfowl Hunt
Keports from Oregon state
game commission field agents for
the opening of the second half of
the waterfowl season reveal that
little success can be expected in
the high desert of Central Ore
gon. The extremely cold weather
and the unusually deep snows
seem to have moved most of the
birds south out of this area.
From the Summer lake area In
Lake county the report is slight
ly better with quite a few birds
still present in spite of the freeze
up on most of the marshes, but
hunting success is expected to be
lower than during the first sea
son. Prospects for the Portland area
and the Willamette valiey are
good with ducks still present in
most of this section. Fair con
centrations of birds are also pres
ent in the Columbia basin and
along the Snake river. A heavy
freeze is reported in Klamath
county and prospects are only
fair in that area.
As a hint to inexperienced duck
hunters C. A. Lockwood, state
game supervisor, reminds that
duck hunters to be successful
should wear clothing as near the
color of their surroundings as
possible. He stated that during
the first half of the season many
hunters were noticed wearing red
clothing as is the general prac
tice when hunting deer. He point
ed out that both ducks and geese
distinguish colors readily and
bright colored clothing makes
hunting difficult.
lected a "Christmas family" to
whom they may play Santa. The
box, which will take the place of
Santa's pack, hasbeen decorated
by Uene Hayes and Lois Ham
mond, and will be delivered
Thursday afternoon by Jim Hes

Jewel. Mrs. Maude Lee sponsors
the writers' group.

Murray Refuses
Committee Call
Washington, Dec. 22 Hi"--CIO
president Philip Murray refused
today to answer n onc-num house
labor subcommittee's subpoena,
and the lone member s.-iitl lie will
refer, the mutter to the just ire de
partment for action.
Rep. Clare Hoffman, chairman
and only member of the commit
tee, threatened the action, But
the Michigan republican said he
did not expect any action by the
justice department. He added that
"morally" Murray had a good
case.
Murray notified Hoffman by let
ter yestercl.iy that he v.oulil Ig
nore the subpoena on the grounds
that a one-man subcommittee was
not a legiJ subcommittee and that
the subcommittee did not have
subpoena powers.
The justice department could
prosecute Murray for rnl:.elemran
or for failing to answer a congres
sional subpoena.

Mystery of Seal
Pups Remains
Seattle. Dee. 22 do - The mys
tery of where fur seal pups spend
their first winter remains a mys
tery. AM that's known Is they were
born on the Piibllof Islands'ln the
Bering sen.
Dr. Victor B. Scheffer of the
j U. S. fish and wildlife service has
jjusl returned aboard the service
I vessel Black Douglas after a 2,000
mile cruise and he reports that
tie ciicm t see a single pup."
"At least, we know thut the
mothers don't escort their young
on the annual trip to the south
from their summer breeding
grounds," he said. '
Dr. Scheffer surmises that the
errant pups, born In summer,
probably spread out along the
Aleutian Islands during the first
winter. But again, maybe they
don't.

Special Record
Agency Needed
Washington, Dec. 22 lli A
Hoover commission subcommittee
recommends that the government
set up a special agency to handle
Us 18,500,000 cubic feet of official
records.
It also suggested that federal
offices weed out duplicate records
and store those that are not in
regular use. At present, the sub
committee said, the government
has enough records to "fill an esti
mated six pentagon buildings."
The Pentagon building, home of
the national defense establish
ment, is the world's largest office
building, covering 34 acres.
In a report submitted to the
Hoover commission, the subcom
mittee on records and manage
ment said the present system of
handling government records is
expensive, wasteful, duplicative,
and above all, cumbersome,

are asking "What's happened to
