Bartlett Has 'Fine' Vacation In Sun Valley
Perhaps the person most prepared to come back to campus ice and snow was Miriam Bartlett, Kansas Excursion Contest winner, who spent her vacation at Sun Valley, Idaho, winter sports resort.
Upon her arrival in Sun Valley the day before Christmas, Miss Bartlett immediately rented skiis in preparation for the sport at which she spent part oy every day. Trudging up oh-so-gentle slopes, having ski instructors with the "cutest" accents yell what to do as trees loomed up ahead, and freezing one's best features on the ski lifts—was all part of the fun of skiing at Sun Valley.
Miss Bartlett's room was in the Lodge and overlooked two skating rinks, which were decorated for Christmas with ice fireplaces, and ice wood with red lights for the fire.
Christmas eve everyone met in the village square to watch 50 skiers with torches come down the mountain, Miss Bartlett said. Then they sang carols and went to the inn for hot spiced wine.
Miss Barlett spent some time in the Ram, rustic hangout for college students. Everyone becomes quickly acquainted at Sun Valley, and she found other collegians especially friendly.
The only place to dance in the village was in the Duchin room in the Lodge, named for Eddie Duchin, the first bandleader to bring his band there. The room was designed by Duchin's wife in modernistic style.
At the bowling alleys Miss Bartlett saw Norma Shearer, who was "lovely," and on a sleigh party Veronica Lake and her husband accompanied the gang. Miss Lake, said Miss Bartlett, was "not glamorous, but sweet-looking—not like she is in movies." Sonja Henie's skating double for "Sun Valley Serenade" a 17-year-old boy was also there.
"Sun Valley is the most beautiful place I've ever seen," Miss Bartlett said. "I certainly want to go back as soon as possible."

Red Cross Student Drive Under Way

Faculty and University employees have already donated $600 toward the goal of $800. The student goal is $500.

Ketchum Sees War Activity In California
CLAUDETTE SKYLARKS first...and thinks later!
On his way out Ketchum said The Santa Fe Chief was "blacked-out" 300 miles from Los Angeles, and also on the return trip.
The Daily Kansan Excursion Contest winner made his headquarters in a downtown Los Angeles hotel, but spent most of the time "seeing the sights."
Although Kenneth Ketchum, Kansas Holiday Excursion Contest winner, didn't see the Rose Bowl game during his vacation in California he did see a Japanese submarine being towed into the harbor at San Pedro.
THURSDAY
"If there is any doubt in anyone's mind that the United States is at war, just spend five days in southern California." That is what Ketchum says after a Christmas vacation spent surveying defense industries at work, experiencing black-outs and air alarms, and breathing the balmy air just to make sure it was California.
A Best-Selling Mystery Thriller that's plenty hot and full of spice.

"I WAKE UP
SCREAMING"
Ketchum saw the Grand Canyon for the first time and called it "a pleasant surprise." He spent New Year's Eve at Seventh and Broadway, known as "the busiest corner in the world." Palm-lined drives, sandy beaches, movie studios, and sunshine were so unusual and fascinating that Ketchum forgot to mourn for the Rose Bowl Game being played in another part of the country.
California is being turned from a tourists' playground into a land geared for defense and populated by a war-conscious people. Ketchum said the Los Angeles municipal airport has been converted into a strictly army air station with no commercial airplanes allowed within in a ten mile radius.

Ketchum looked over the Lockhead, Douglas, and North American aircraft companies turning out more planes a day than the total United States output of a few months ago. The plants are surrounded by a solid ring of soldiers.

With an eye to the future, Ketchum interviewed the companies for a job upon his graduation from the school of engineering this spring. He is considering Lockhead as the most likely.
