"Those men were trying to blackmail me." Authorities say Mrs. Duncan. 54, and five times wed, hired the murder of pretty Olga Kupczyk Duncan, 30, because she was fiercely jealous of the Canadian nurse who married her son, a Santa Barbara lawyer. I feel terrible about it," Mrs. Duncan told newsmen Monday when they asked ho she felt when informed that Olga's body had been found in a shallow grave 20 miles from Ventura. I iiked her and I believe she liked me." But Augustine Baldonado, 25, who led sheriff's deputies to the spot where Olga Duncan was bur- 'MOM! PAD! is Reauv FUNNY!

Or, lock yourselt lor a moment in a world wncre mere are nunc of the friendly Christmas noises no street carolers, no belly laugh of a Santa Claus, no clamor of shoppers and traffic.

But when the school chaplain begins the invocation, the differ ence becomes apparent. The clergyman tells a Christmas narab e in a rich, .friendly voice He accompanies his words with rapid gestures of his arms and hands. The story Is of a mischievous. young angel whose pranks jar the conservative ways of heaven. St. Peter scolds his young charge with silent gestures. In the final scene, a chorus ol angels assembles costumed in white sheets, cardboard wings and wire halos. A Christmas carol filters over (he loudspeaker system, and the angels begin singing with their hands. To the observer, the scene looks pathetic momentarily. An age-old Christmas song, and the only way these deaf angels can evoke the beautiful melody and lyric is with their hands. But the flash of pity is dispelled quickly. The gestures by the an gels on stage have reached the youngsters. Singing with their hands, the deaf children, too, are experiencing the joys of caroling.
