W. Woolworth emporium last Saturday afternoon at approximately 3:30 o'clock. Not having the talent, I will just have to set down the details without embellishment and hope that they will convey to you something of the pleasure they gave to me. Counter No. One is the jewelry counter. I was standing within five feet of it, leaning against a penny weighing machine, waiting for my wife who was somewhere in the crowd purchasing worthless trinkets to. be stuffed into children's stockings, There were three girl clerks working behind the jewelry counter and one of them was beautiful. She would be 18 or 20, I'd guess, I was struck by her resemblance to the younger Elizabeth Taylor, "A million-dollar baby in the five-and-ten-cent store," I thought. I guessed that she would be part-time Christmas help for she turned occasionally to one of the other girls to ask about prices and such. As I was speculating idly this way a messenger boy in a gray uniform came through the swinging doors. Under his arm was what obviously was a flower box. It was at least four feet long. He looked up over the heads of the crowds at the signs which mark the counters by number and went directly to the jewelry counter, "Linda Webster?" he asked the beautiful girl. ' "That's me," the girl said. And he handed her the box. The girl was so clearly astonished by this that I couldn't resist moving in closer to satisfy my curiosity. I pretended to be studying some earrings a foot away from her and watched her as she opened the box. They were dark red roses, six of them, long-stemmed in a nest of lacey fern. The girl looked down at them, gasped and gave a low, crooning sound of pleasure. She looked up at the other two girls who, of course, were watching her closely and beckoned to them to come and look. Both girls instantly left their customers and came up to admire the flowers. "It's that fellow who tried to talk to* you this morning," one of the girls said. "I'll bet that's him," the other said. The girl who had received the flowers Dow took a card from the box and read it: "To Linda Webster, Counter One." -"Isn't that cute?" the first girl said. "How did he know your name?" the other asked. "Gee," said Linda Webster, Counter One, "that's cute." The girl who had received the flowers stood a moment, admiring them, while the Other two returned to their posts, smiling inscrutably to each other with the eternal wisdom of the female. Then she placed the lid on the box, reverently, and put it under the counter. I returned to lean up against the weighing machine and when my wife came from out of the crowd we went to the coffee counter where I told her what I'd seen, "We've been shopping all day in this mob and that's the first thing I've seen that seemed to be in the Christmas spirit," I said. "There is a Santa Claus," my wife laughed. "I must write a piece one day on the use of the word `cute'," I said. "This girl made it sound like 15 other words." We finished our coffee and headed for the street. As we passed Counter No. One I nudged my wife and we glanced across at the girl. She was standing there, serving a customer, but her eyes were lifted over the heads of the hurrying throngs. She was watching the main entrance and the people who were coming and going. Like any other nice girl she was waiting for Santa Claus. Canadians held 61,8 per cent o f all teaching and administration posts in Canadian universities and colleges in 1979-71, Statistics Canada reported today in a service bulletin issued by its education division. The report, which up-dates and revises figures collected a year earlier, shows U.S. citizens in second place, holding 15.2 per cent of all positions, followed by citizens of Britain (10.2 per cent), France (2,9 per cent) and all other countries (10.2 per cent). Teachers from he United States found their highest representation on Canadian faculties in the fields of humanities (24.2 per cent), social sciences (20,1 per cent), and languages and literature (17.4 per cent). British teachers outnumbered those from the United States in the pure sciences (14.2 per cent of the total); biological sciences (11.0 per cent) and physical sciences (10.1 per cent), while they were also strongly represented in languages and literature, with 13,6 per cent of the total. France had its heaviest respresentation in languages and literature (7,4 per cent) and the physical sciences (3.8 per cent). The education service bulletin also publishes figures showing that annual federal government pay rents and grants for scie tific purposes to Canadian erhicational and non-profit ins, institutions have increased more than five times since 1963. Total outlays have grown from $25.9 million in 1963-64 to $143 million for the present fiscal year. In that period, the Atomic Energy Control Board has increased its contributions for this purpose by nine times, from $900,000 to $8.1 million, National Research Council scholarships and grants have grown from $12 million to $66.2 million, Medical Research Council contributions from $5 million to $34.3 million, National Health and Welfare from $4.1 million to $16.5 million and the Canadian International Development Agency from $1.1 million to $5.4 million.

Evi- dently his preconceived impressions of the wild West bore out, In his diary he noted that from his hotel window he could see the Christmas Eve cele- bration in San Augustine was noisy and boisterous, The town only had about 50 houses and 12 shops, but its citizens gathered into a band of serenaders who went about the small village beating on tin pans and being very boisterous. This was in sharp contrast to Olmsted's New England upbringing. Throughout Texas and the West, Christmas Day was often spent in wild turkey shoots, followed by a tre- mendous feast with the bird as featured fare.
