Roses from Santa
in 1910-71 positions If I had even a small talent
for fiction writing I would sit
right do kn and make a tender,
well-rounded Christmas vignette
of the incident at Counter No,
One of an F. 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.

ding,* Christmas in the
West in the1850s
The famous landscape
architect Frederick Law
Olmsted was visiting far
from home, in Texas dur-
ing the Christmas season
in the early 1850 s. 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.
