When the weatherman predicts snow over the mountains the time has come to get out that ski equip ment and get. ready to go. With the Northwest's dismal season of last year in the past, we are looking forward to a better than ever season this year. Arbuckle Ski Club members have been busy this summer. The slope has been groomed un til there is barely a twig or small rock to be seen. This should allow skiing on the slope with a very minimum amount of snow. The tow is in place, and things are ready to go when the first snow accumulates. Last year, at the beginning of the season, the club held a Booster Night Party. This was received with such enthusiasm, that the club decided to sponsor such a party each year. The date of the second annual Booster Night will be December 7. Mark this date on your calendar and plan to attend. A big evening has been planned with a pot- luck dinner, ski movie, and a style show of ski fashions. Ski fashions are even more wonder ful this year practical and comfortable for all winter sports activities as well as active ski ing. The entire fashion picture features ski styles and the ski look for school and leisure. It will be hard to tell the skier from the spectator until they hit the slopes! The Ski Club Invites you to attend their Booster Night. Peck s Ski Shop is open again with a good line of ski and sports equipment, and more new items arriving all the time. Ken is happy to have you drop in whether you are there to look, buy, or simply talk about skiing. Ken has purchased his equip ment and clothing with the fam ily budget in mind.

Along with sight-seeing tours over England and Europe since their arrival in August, they are getting a well-informed knowledge of the school system of France through their attend ance in classes in Tours and con tacts with educational leaders. The following interesting com ments were made in a letter dated November 11 to Mrs. Gene Ferguson from Mrs. Lanham. "As you probably know we are attending school in Tours but are living in the little vil lage of Luynes. It was here that we were able to find an apart ment. The owner, Madame Alazard, is a teacher in the girls' school here. During the evening we learned a little bit about the school situation here in France. Thank goodness, I teach in the good old U.S.A. Education is very much controlled nationally from Paris and it does not sound good to me. We also learned a bit about salaries of workers and living conditions. Again, thank goodness for U.S.A. "Many of the people here have cave homes. Some of them don't look too bad, but Madame indi cated that many are most un inhabitable, but people are liv ing in them, nevertheless. "This afternoon we visited one of the many chateaus of this Loire Valley Langeais, the Chateau of Charles VIII and Anne of Brittany. What a struc ture it is! And it is one of the smaller chateaus. Now, we'll have to see one of the larger ones, I guess. "In all the cities we visited we did a great deal of walking, even after we had the car. We found that one could see much more that way than by driving. Anyway, we find driving a bit difficult because of the 'insan ity' of the drivers on the in adequate roads. Driving here in France, especially, is anything but relaxing. Too many cars and bicycles to contend with. The drivers are good, but in the States they wouldn't last 5 min utes without getting a ticket for some traffic violation."
