Assured by educators that learning is not restricted to the young, grand ma has determined to take a full course of instruction and obtain a degree. Clutching a health card in her hand. Grandma right along with other college freshmen cheerfully enrolled in the gym nastic class. Only after a husky football boy warmed up the class with 10 jumping jacks, 10 push-ups and 10 curl ups did grandma realize that gym nastics consisted of hand stands, backward rolls, cart wheels and the conquering of various pieces of equipment. There Is only one consolation in enduring the sore muscles of this course, if the instructor needs a good example of “what not to do”, Grandma is on hand to demonstrate. Grandma has another con cern. Many students say that college changes them. Their parents complain that they go home with wild ideas, some times they’re not accepted at home. Wonder what the grand children will say when grand ma comes home? Age has a few advantages as well as drawbacks. Grandma doesn’t have to giggle to get attention; who could miss her in that group of young people? Grandma doesn’t have to dress to attract the opposite sex, she still has grandpa. Grandma al ready knows that everyone can’t get A’s, someone has to get B’s and C’s. Young people however, are really fine, they treat grandma just like any other student.

Santiam fell behind in the first period, and stayed behind throughout the game. Stayton, with the edge on height, took a 30-18 half-time lead. In the third quarter the Wolverines outscored the Eagles by four points, but were still 10 points behind. Santiam then lost its grip on the ball, leaving little hope of catching up. Joe Hince and David Pit- tarn were high scorers for the Wolverines, each scoring eight points. Santiam’s lead ing rebounder for the game was David Pittam with 14. As expected, Rick Manning and Jon Carey led the Eagles with 19 and 14 points respect ively. Jayvees Also Lose— Santiam’s JVs lost its third game of the season to the Eagles in the preliminary. Santiam was behind at half time 25-11 and stayed behind throughout the game. Al though losing the game, San tiam had the top scorer as Mark Jeter with 15 points beat out Stayton’s Sephenson who scored 14. The final score was 60-40 in Stayton’s favor. Gun Control Act License Provision Now in Effect A. G. Erickson, District Di rector of Internal Revenue for Oregon, said today that start ing December 16, applications for federal licenses to sell fire arms and ammunition must meet the requirements set forth in the Gun Control Act of 1968. Holders of current firearm licenses will not be affected by the new licensing requirements until the license comes up for renewal, but they must observe the new controls on the sale and transfer of firearms and ammunition. Mr. Erickson said the annual license fee to sell firearms and ammunition has been raised from $1 to $10. Pawnbrokers dealing in firearms must ob tain a $25 license under the new law. Dealers In shotgun and .22 caliber amunition, previously not required to obtain a feder al license, must be licensed un der the new law. However, by filing a Ucense application on time, a dealer not previously required to have a license may continue to sell ammunition pending action on his applica tion. The fee is $10 and per mits a dealer to sell both fire arms and ammunition. To qualify for a lieease und er the new law, a person must be 21 years of age. have a place of business in the U. S. and not be a convicted felon De tails on these and other licens ing requirements may be ob tained by contacting local of fices of the IRS Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division. The new Federal Gun I^aw was enacted to help State and local law enforcement agencies fight crime by placing controls on the interstate and over-the- counter sales of firearms and ammunition. Keeping your Christmas tree looking fresh and healthy is not hard if you know how. The big secret is to see the tree gets plenty of water. One easy way to do this is to mount the tree in a bucket filled near the top with water. Use rocks to hold the tree upright. You’ll have to watch the water level. A tree takes up water more quickly than most people think. The butt of the tree should be re-cut just before you put it into water for best results since the original cut tends to seal itself off rather quickly. You can also improve the wat er absorption by cutting the trunk at an angle to expose mire absorbing surface to the water. Naturally the tree should be put away from any heat sourc es which would dry it out. A tree can become quite dry be fore it shows any signs of wilting, and in this condition liecomes a serious fire hazard. Keeping the tree well watered will keep hazard to a mini mum Safety dictates a careful ex amination of light string wir ing for frayed or broken spots. The lights should never be on unless someone is awake in the house.
