With the Editor I hope we whip the sox off them. Them is the high and mighty Huskies from the University of Washington who show here Saturday night in - one of the outstanding basketball attraction? of .thei xurrent yean y^etn Aa^ been making very disparaging remarks in the columns of the Daily anent t ti e University scheduling games with such small fry as Bd-lingham Normal, (thafs what they called us), Pacific Lutheran, and independent quintets like Savidges. Even Royal Royal Brougham said in essence the same thing. The poor deluded fish seem to have forgotten ' so soon t h e narrow squeak the Husky five had in eking out a meager four point victory last year. Hec Edmundsen swallowed at least four packages of gum in the course of the evening and at least eight necklaces of beads crowned his forehead. Anyway, the Vikings will take the floor against them Huskies determined to wipe the floor with them. And here is a hunch that says we will. Christmas, 1940, will see a strange world. Missing all over the globe are the traditions of peace on earth, good will to men. Tnsteaffna^ibhs are fever-" ishly engaged in slaughtering other nations, or arming madly for that purpose. The only stars seen this Christmas in London, Berlin, Rome, and other cities of the world are the flares droppedv from airplanes to search out more humanity to destroy. Civilization is rapidly becoming like the boa-constrictor who swallowed his own tail. It's consuming itself with its own m e c h anical perfection. Great men, scientists, geniuses, 'are inventing many boons to mankind, but also they are constructing some of the most diabolical machines to destroy their fellow creatures civilization has ever known. London, buildings built many centuries ago, are now being leveled flat in the time it takes a ton of concentrated destruction to fall a thousand feet from a hurtling dive-bomber. Paris, Berlin, Rome, all ancient cities, are filled with people living underground like rats in sewers. Civilized warfare is extremely fair — it kills everybody. No longer is the soldier casualty list highest, but the women, - children, and old people take their share of killing. And those it doesn't, kill, i t destroys with disease. Christmas toys, too, will reflect the trend. All young America will be playing with replicas of death-dealing airplanes, battleships, submarines, and other dread instruments of war. * Word lias beam i*^ Saturday night's game with the University of Washington Huskies will be broadcast over the lanes of the Mutual Braodcasting system in a state-wide, hookup, beginning promptly at 8 o'clock. Because of' this, the preliminary will start at 6:45 so that it will give the varsity teams time to warm up before game time. VOL. XXXL-^NO. 12 Western Washington College of Educdtion, Bellingham, Washington Thursday/ December -J9, T94Q State Patrol Issues To Drive Carefully trig Vikings :T$ngle;^ith UW Huslcfes OLYMPIA, Dec. 18^With > daifterous snow and^ce condUtioiK prevailing on many highways and numerous fender smashings and other/accidents reported, Chief Harry C. Huse of the Washington State patrol today warned motorists to drive slowly and take practical safety precautions against the weather. "While new snow is fairly slippery and hard to get through when it's deep, the real skidding danger is hard-packed snow or underlying ice," said Chief Huse. "Research of accident records and comprehensive tests by the National Safety council has shown inadequate traction and obscured vision are, respectively, the main causes of winter accidents. So, as sure as an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, a set of tire chains on the rear wheels when needed (not just in rear com- ~" —— — partment when conditions are bad) will help cut down the higher accident rate due to winter weather. Likewise drivers should be sure their lights are adequate, windshield wipers and defrosters are in working order to provide clear vision when needed during a storm or severe cold," Chief Huse declared. "These precautions are particularly important." Huse said, "during storms and until the highway department has had opportunity for snow removal." Several Tips Other cold weather safety tips include: Turn on headlights during a heavy snowstorm; keep more room between you and the car ahead and allow more distance for stopping. Chains enable you to get through and help stopping very appreciably on both snow* and ice but should not be expected to duplicate normal stopping ability of dry pavement; pump the brakes to keep wheels s from loclang completely, as it helps prevent side skids and maintain directional control; don't pass cars on hills and curves; open cowl ventilator for fresh air, particularly in old cars;, ^try out brakes occasionally to get the "feel" of the road surface.

Flu cases rose from 53 Monday, December 9, to the epidemic's high of 57 on Tuesday, necessitating the installation of two extra beds in the seven-bed infirmary. Miss Mead reports that the respiratory type of influenza, -characterized by chills, high fever, and a "tight feeling" in the chest, is most prevalent. So far only one case of stomach flu has been reported. "Anyone who feels ill should go to bed and notify the nurse's office," .advised Miss Mead. Bellingham city schools were closed last Friday by the school and health boards because of th.e absence of approximately 20 per cent of the enrolled students. Figures released by C. M. Iddins, school board secretary, revealed that there were 988 children absent Friday morning and that this figure passed the i.OOO mark later in the day. The city schools will open December 30. Fatal Date Decided When Grades Out It will be a sleepless Joe and Betty College who meet the postman, as few will enjoy Christmas with grades not being mailed out until, December 26. ' + The first important dates for the new year's school calendar are January 6 and 1< 19*1- These two days have been set aside, for paying fees at the Business office and for completing winter quarter registration. Anyone who fails to pay his fees by the deadline will be charged $1 late-registration fee. Of interest to the survivors who manage to live through both grade-receiving and fee-paying is the>n-nouncement of. the all-college mixer which will be held Friday, January 10. Other important events of the year include the WAA carnival, January 17, and the Norsemen's, informal, Saturday, January 18. Uf§<ALL JOURNEYS EAST Dr. C. C. Upshall will journey to Yakima December 27 to e an honored iguest at the dedication of the J. M. Perry Technical school, a new, half-million aoilajrv stnicture. Dr. Upshall will represent WWC at thededication ceren&ohies of the TOW buil4tag house a i school that teachesi machine shop ;^r Cricket Leaves Spot For Pelegren Attractive WWC Co-ed Ignites Self on Gas Burner; Suffers Painful Burns; Show Goes On The cricket on the hearth didn't get burned Saturday night but a Western coilege- student did. Patricia Pelegren, attractive WWC freshman and member of the Drama club, was about to go on stage for her part in the second act of the Theater Guild play, "Cricket on the Hearth," when it happened. As Pat leaned over to pick up a comb, she ignited her hoop skirt on a gas heater and was immediately enveloped in flames. Francis Wilson and Guild President Rudo Fromme dashed to the rescue. Fromme tore off the dress and beat out the flames with his bare hands. In the rush to extinguish the blaze, Wilson fell down a flight of stairs, pulling Pat with him." By that time the flames were out. Unphazed by the backstage ex- ' citement, the Guild players ad-libbed like yeterajtts_around. Pajt!s^part ,inv the second act. in spite of % burns on her hands and under the left arm, she appeared in the third act to complete her role in the play. Interviewed by a Collegian reporter today, Miss Pelegren observed, "It was certainly a harrowing experience; however, I feel no ill-effects except for the rather painful burns under my shoulder." EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION WILL HOLD MEETING Administrators of the Washington Educational association will hold their annual meeting in Olympia December 26 and 27. The convention will include superintendents, principals and other administrators from the state of Washington. Among those expecting to attend from WWC are Dr. W. W. Haggard, Dr. Irving Miller, and Miss Elizabeth M. Hopper, as well as several other members of the faculty. CAA Pilot Course Again Offered Enrollment To Be Enlarged; All Airminded Students Interested, Apply At Once Winter quarter will signal the beginning of another CAA pilot training course at WWC. This will be the third course offered here and will be open to 20 students if that many can be picked from the applicants. Anyone interested in flying is asked to apply. The only requirements for this training are that the applicants be enrolled- in-this college -.and- be-abte-to pass the physical requirements. Those who are not enrolled in college and want to take the course may do so provided that they have completed two years of college work. There also is a nominal fee of $25 which will be used for insurance, health examinations, and other details. The government bears the remainder of the costs. The course will include six weeks of ground school and 35 hours of flying time. The present CAA trainees have completed their ground school examinations and are on the final • part of the course. Upon the completion of the required 35 hours in the air, they will take their final examination from a U. S. Aeronautics inspector. When the students complete the course, they will receive their pilots' licenses. The students at present are training in a seaplane at Lake Whatcom and it is expected that the ] course also will use a seaplane. Holiday Advice So-long, everybody... Have a good time this Christmas and don't eat too much. Have a good time New Year's Eve, and don't, period. But, anyway, have a good time. We'll see you next year. Of course you'U be imbued with that old fire to study. Of course. Biggs and Montes and the staff next National Labor Breach Soon To Be Bridged, Says Collegiate Press By Associated "Collegiate Press America's college newspapers saw little hope late last spring for union of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. But swift-moving events have changed the view. The concensus of undergraduate writers now is nojt only that prosects are good for ending factionalism, but that a truce in the near future is imperative. Commenting on the resignation of CIO resident. John L. Lewis, the Cornell Daily Sun says that "the next move necessary to the unreserved cooperation of the nation in the rearedness rogram is th unqualified unification of the forces of labor. With therworkers of the nation split into two camps, it is impossible that the program can go forward with the best operation." In the opinion of the Michigan Daily, President Roosevelt's, victory and John L. Lewis' defeat gave rise to one of the brightest hopes for labor unity in the last years. The mass of both organizations have common interests and are desirous of uniting them; • Iii many cities there are joint journals and joint strikes when necessary. Consciously and unconsciously the workers in both organizations have been united in political action. That the CIO and AFL are not joined in an effective union today is an indictment of the democratic processes within the organizations that allow the leaden to block the will of the members." The Amherst Student joint in the view that "any move toward union could not appear at a better time. Yet opportune as a combination now of the opposing camps might be and ridiculous as their struggle seems, there is more concerned in their continued separation than the mere personalities of Lewis and Gfeen. The whole organizations of the two unions differ; one has herded unskilled workers together the other skilled-workers; One represents the pholetariat of labor, the other the aristocracy. But although the difficulties are TownrStudesrGiveri Chances to Step Of current interest to all college students will be the Christmas and New Year's dances to be held during" the next two weeks. • Tomorrow, December 20, the Sue cess Business college is giving a dance at the Bellingham hotel with Brooke Temple's orchestra from 9 to 12 o'clock. Everyone is invited and the dance is semi-formal. The Revellers are playing at the Chuckanut Shell Christmas night for the Theta Rho Girls' Informal Christmas dance.

With the Editor
I hope we whip the sox
off them. Them is the
high and mighty Huskies
from the University of
Washington who show
here Saturday night in -
one of the outstanding
basketball attraction? of
.thei xurrent yean y^etn
Aa^ been making very
disparaging remarks in
the columns of the Daily
anent t ti e University
scheduling games with
such small fry as Bd-lingham
Normal, (thafs
what they called us), Pacific
Lutheran, and independent
quintets like
Savidges. Even Royal
Royal Brougham said in
essence the same thing.
The poor deluded fish
seem to have forgotten '
so soon t h e narrow
squeak the Husky five
had in eking out a meager
four point victory last
year. Hec Edmundsen
swallowed at least four
packages of gum in the
course of the evening
and at least eight necklaces
of beads crowned
his forehead.
Anyway, the Vikings
will take the floor against
them Huskies determined
to wipe the floor with
them. And here is a
hunch that says we will.
Christmas, 1940, will
see a strange world. Missing
all over the globe are
the traditions of peace on
earth, good will to men.
Tnsteaffna^ibhs are fever-"
ishly engaged in slaughtering
other nations, or
arming madly for that
purpose. The only stars
seen this Christmas in
London, Berlin, Rome, and
other cities of the world
are the flares droppedv
from airplanes to search
out more humanity to destroy.
Civilization is rapidly
becoming like the boa-constrictor
who swallowed
his own tail. It's consuming
itself with its own
m e c h anical perfection.
Great men, scientists,
geniuses, 'are inventing
many boons to mankind,
but also they are constructing
some of the
most diabolical machines
to destroy their fellow
creatures civilization has
ever known.
London, buildings built
many centuries ago, are
now being leveled flat in
the time it takes a ton of
concentrated destruction
to fall a thousand feet
from a hurtling dive-bomber.
Paris, Berlin,
Rome, all ancient cities,
are filled with people living
underground like rats
in sewers.
Civilized warfare is extremely
fair — it kills
everybody. No longer is
the soldier casualty list
highest, but the women,
- children, and old people
take their share of killing.
And those it doesn't, kill,
i t destroys with disease.
Christmas toys, too,
will reflect the trend. All
young America will be
playing with replicas of
death-dealing airplanes,
battleships, submarines,
and other dread instruments
of war. *
Word lias beam i*^
Saturday night's game with the
University of Washington Huskies

State Patrol Issues
To Drive Carefully
trig Vikings :T$ngle;^ith UW Huslcfes
OLYMPIA, Dec. 18^With > daifterous snow and^ce condUtioiK prevailing
on many highways and numerous fender smashings and other/accidents
reported, Chief Harry C. Huse of the Washington State patrol today warned
motorists to drive slowly and take practical safety precautions against
the weather.
"While new snow is fairly slippery and hard to get through when it's
deep, the real skidding danger is hard-packed snow or underlying ice," said
Chief Huse.
"Research of accident records and comprehensive tests by the National
Safety council has shown inadequate traction and obscured vision are, respectively,
the main causes of winter accidents. So, as sure as an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure, a set of tire chains on the rear wheels
when needed (not just in rear com- ~" —— —
partment when conditions are bad)
will help cut down the higher accident
rate due to winter weather.
Likewise drivers should be sure their
lights are adequate, windshield wipers
and defrosters are in working
order to provide clear vision when
needed during a storm or severe
cold," Chief Huse declared.
"These precautions are particularly
important." Huse said, "during
storms and until the highway
department has had opportunity for
snow removal."
Several Tips
Other cold weather safety tips include:
Turn on headlights during a
heavy snowstorm; keep more room
between you and the car ahead and
allow more distance for stopping.
Chains enable you to get through
and help stopping very appreciably
on both snow* and ice but should not
be expected to duplicate normal
stopping ability of dry pavement;
pump the brakes to keep wheels
s from loclang completely, as it helps
prevent side skids and maintain directional
control; don't pass cars on
hills and curves; open cowl ventilator
for fresh air, particularly in
old cars;, ^try out brakes occasionally
to get the "feel" of the road surface.

Nasty Old 'Flu Bug'
Now on Wane
This week's influenza absences
are slightly less than last week's according
to Miss May Mead, school
nurse. Flu cases rose from 53 Monday,
December 9, to the epidemic's
high of 57 on Tuesday, necessitating
the installation of two extra
beds in the seven-bed infirmary.
Miss Mead reports that the respiratory
type of influenza, -characterized
by chills, high fever, and
a "tight feeling" in the chest, is
most prevalent. So far only one
case of stomach flu has been reported.
"Anyone who feels ill should
go to bed and notify the nurse's office,"
.advised Miss Mead.
Bellingham city schools were closed
last Friday by the school and
health boards because of th.e absence
of approximately 20 per cent
of the enrolled students. Figures
released by C. M. Iddins, school
board secretary, revealed that there
were 988 children absent Friday
morning and that this figure passed
the i.OOO mark later in the day. The
city schools will open December 30.
Fatal Date Decided
When Grades Out
It will be a sleepless Joe and Betty
College who meet the postman, as
few will enjoy Christmas with
grades not being mailed out until,
December 26. ' +
The first important dates for the
new year's school calendar are January
6 and 1< 19*1- These two days
have been set aside, for paying fees
at the Business office and for completing
winter quarter registration.
Anyone who fails to pay his fees by
the deadline will be charged $1 late-registration
fee.
Of interest to the survivors who
manage to live through both grade-receiving
and fee-paying is the>n-nouncement
of. the all-college mixer
which will be held Friday, January
10. Other important events of the
year include the WAA carnival, January
17, and the Norsemen's, informal,
Saturday, January 18.
