SKI
TRAILS
By BIRDINE TULLIS
It is that time again! 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. You will find
his entire stock in a very reas
onable price range.
Don England, the Snow
Ranger from Crystal Mountain,
Wn., visited Arbuckle Ski area
last week. He had words of
praise and encouragement for
our area and the terrific amount
of work and development done
by a few people. Crystal Moun
tain is a new area north of Mt.
Rainier, all ready in operation
this year. He hopes to see some
of our local skiers at his area
this year. The early snow has
allowed many areas to open
earlier than usual this year.
Before the local season gets
underway, this is the time to
Check your equipment. Wax your
boots check the edges on your
skis for loose screws that can
cause trouble check your bind
ings for weakness and loose
screws any places that will al
low water to penetrate your
wooden skis should be repaired
or painted trade in Junior's out
grown boots on a bigger pair
do those lovely stretch pants
from last year still fit?
It was snowing lightly on Ar
buckle Mountain last Saturday
night. So we will hope to SEE
YOU ON THE HILL, soon.

Lanhams Find
French Schools
In Close Control
Mr. and Mrs. Conley Lanham
are experiencing an interesting
winter in France, according to
correspondence received here by
friends. 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."
