she hired two men to kill her
daughter-in-law. "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 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.

not mean isolation or loneliness,
especially at Christmas.
