Nursey Set's Games
For Family Fun "Skudo," a new board game with turn
table at each starting post, adding excitement.
AP Newile.ttirel
The youngest set can join in
the family games this Christmas,
even without diplomas in read
in' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic.
New game techniques have
been worked out which permit
the kindergartners to play right
along with their older brothers
afid sisters, as serious competi
tors and not merely kibitzers.
"Over the Garden Wall" is a
new idea in games, translating
the problem of gardening into
competitive fun for pre-school
children as well as their elders.
Players draw cards representing
pictures of various fruits and
vegetables from a pile and
"'plant" them in the rows indi
cated in their individual gar
dens. Just like real gardeners
they encounter difficulties with
weeds, cutworms and rocks (rep
resented by cards) which, when
drawn, force removal of the
fruit and vegetable cards al
ready planted. Offsetting these
obstacles are "grow" cards rep
resenting sunshine and rain. The
first player to fill his garden
completely is the winner.
The trend to "real life" situa
tions for family games is evi
denced by a variety of card and
board games based on traffic
hazards and safety rules. Also
translated into fireside versions
are the techniques of football,
baseball, hockey and basketball.
Vocational interests are stimu
lated by a series of games deal
ing with world trade, politics,
real estate, oil, stocks and bonds.
A new twist in board games
is "Skudo," which uses turn ta
bles at each starting post to add
obstacles and adventures
players move toward "home."
Detective story addicts will
enjoy "Clue," a new crime de
tection game from England, com
plete with miniature weapons
such as a lead pipe, knife, re
volver, rope, wrench and candle
stick. The object of the game is
to determine which of six sus
pects is guilty, what room was
the scene of the crime and what
instrument caused the death.
Pries! Pleads
Partial Guilt
Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, Dec. 7
W) A gray-bearded Russian or
thodox priest pleaded "partially
guilty" today to Yugoslav charg
es he worked for the Nazis in
this country during the war and
lately spied for Russia against
Premier Marshal Tito.
Father Alcksei Krishko, in
long black priest's robes, heads a
group of 10 Russian white guard
ists being tried here as spies for
the Soviet embassy in Belgrade
and spreaders of Cominform pro
paganda against the Tito regime.
Father Krishko was the first
to take the stand today. A blan
ket indictment against all ten de
fendants was read yesterday.
Twice the priest was in tears.
Speaking broken Serbian
(which, although a Slav lan
guage, sounds little like Russian),
he refused to take a scat.
His testimony was full of con
tradictions. At the beginning he
denied flatly he ever worked for
the German Gestapo while it was
in Yugoslavia during the war.
T did not collaborate with the
Germans,' he told the court, his
beard quivering with indigna
tion. But then he admitted he
had said during earlier investi
gation that several White Russi
ans in Yugoslavia had joined the
Germans on his advice.
Church Society Meets
Falls City The December
Missionary meeting of the Free
Methodist church was held at
the home of Mrs. Kathrine Page.
Business was in charge of Mrs.
Gilbert Johnosn. Devotions were
led by Mrs. Vernon Murphy, and
the missionary Bible study
charge of Miss Alice Johnson.
Carol Gets Huffy When Barred
From Going to Hollywood to Sing
Denver, Dee. (U.R) Brown-eyed, chestnut-haired Carol
Hoery was "qv.te .mliffnant" when her trip to Hollywood "to
sing" was stymied by a policeman.
Carol said today: "I want to sing, In Hollywood." And
she was going there. But, "that mean old policeman said he'd
give me a ride, but ho brought me back to Grandma."
Carol Is three. Officer Frank Tmiko picked her up four
blocks from home, heard a report on the police radio that a
little girl answering Carol's description was missing. "So I
took her home," he said. "She was quite indignant."
Found Safe Marian Lee
(Bunny) Camp, 3, (above) was
found safe in the woods, near
her home in Greenville, Plu
mas county, Calif., after hav
ing been missing over night.
She said "a man walked up the
hill and told me long stories,
and took me away." Dr. W,
C. Batson said she had suffer
ed somewhat from exposure
but there was no evidence,
superficial at least, that she
had been molested. (AP Wire-photo)

Santa Snowballed Out of Parade
Fitchburg, Mass., Dec. " VP) The kids of this central
Massachusetts city certainly gave Santa Claus a bad time
with snowballs.
Santa Claus was the central figure in the annual Santa
parade. Thousands of youngsters lined the snow-covered
streets to see their favorite person go by on a float.
However, their fun was spoiled when older kids heaved
snowballs at the old gentleman.
And they hit him so often that Santa Claus left the parade.

the 184 inches recorded in 1931
at the Oxbow station, on Wash

record for the states. But it is
far short of the 426-inch annual

'Way ahead in driving ease . . . because
it's ahead in basic principles!
Born of a 16-year Packard develop
ment and test program. Backed by
seven million dollars' worth of new
manufacturing facilities.
That's Packard Ultramatic Drive!
Come in see for yourself why Packard
Ultramatic Drive is the successor to all
the other drives you've ever known.
See for yourself why independent tech
nical observers call it "the last word in
automatic, no-shift control!"
ttGAbJ
New simplicity: Naturally, there's no
clutch pedal . . . and no gear shifting. And
that's only the first hint of the convenience
of Packard Ultramatic Drive!
New smoothness, new quietness. No
jerking, because there's no gear-shifting.
No "racing engine" sensation, because
there's no slippage at cruising speeds.
New economy: Ultramatic Drive saves
gas because there's no slippage at cruising
speeds. And thanks to its advanced design,
it requires no complicated maintenance.
New safety: No chance of involuntary
"down-shifts," which might cause a pro
longed skid on slippery pavement. Smooth
engine braking power, when wanted.

More responsive: No lag, at traffic speeds
or highway speeds, waiting for gears to
shift. For instant bursts of safety-sprint
acceleration just "tramp down."
More positive, more flexible: Your choice
of high-range, or low-range operation. Easy
shift from forward to reverse without clash
ing. Yes, you can rock the car in snow!
