And to lead the United States in this stupendous battle, featuring two distinct cultures, extending from the classroom to the galaxies, Nelson Rockefeller was the Senator's nomination as. the most qualified man. The Governor, said the Senator, would make up his miad about running, not on the homeiy question of ::Can I win?" but on thenar loftier theme of this big issue.

He got the gears in motion and pushed buttons left and right, And sure enough next morning, everything was nice and white.Now, it's'just the day 'fore Christmas and I still feel mighty low, 'Cause all we've had for two whole weeks is snow, snow, snow.

She came to Canada seven years ago with her parents, who wanted to get to America because they were members of the Mormon Church, and , because with crowded European quotas it's easier to get into Canada first and then into the United States. Marguerite's father was a diamond cutter ,for watches in Switzerland, a job which sounds more technical than it actually is,inasmuchas it's done with machines. He's now a welder for a stove manufacturing firm in Illinois, a short distance south, of Chicago. The family succeeded in .getting into the United States two years ago. Soon after that, Marguerite came to Utah to attend Brigham Young University. She's a sophomore now. She speaks English without a trace of accent, learning it after she came to Canada. She also speaks French, German and a couple of dialects familiar, to the region where she lived. The Swiss have no native tongue. They speak German, but with the dialectic i variations that have grown up around it in the various X areas. rv:J; Two years is a long time to be away from your family; when you left them at 18 and you're 20 now, and Marguerite hasn't seen them since she came to Utah.

Another cause of rotting morals is the crcjwded living conditions. Usually several families live in one house! of no. more than three rooms. Today, Czechoslovakia is one of the most alcoholic countries on earth. Czechs spent nine billion crowns for alcoholic drinks' last year. That's an average of .1,300 crowns per a""lt or a good month's wages. One woman said she thought the drinking was due to increasing "nervousness." She also said that more and more women are taking to' drinking heavily. She also said that women are now smoking more cigarettes than meii. From what I saw, this seemed to be true.
