THE DAILY TAR HEEL Thursday, December 8, 1966 Page 4 Skiing: Coining Down Easier Than Going U LONDON UPI It's al most time for the skiing sea son and another crop of stories about broken leg accidents on the ski slopes. But it's not coming down that scares some people it's the going up. Perhaps it's the publicity about cable car accidents. In France alone, eight accidents in the last 10 years have claimed 15 lives and injured 105 persons. But skiing and sightseeing in Europe's rugged mountain ranges has been a major tourist attraction for years and tour ism officials are ready with figures to show a low propor tion of accidents to the num bers of people involved. In France, for instance, they diagnose most recent accidents as "freaks." They have yet to determine why the axle of a steel sup porting tower broke off the 12. 467 foot Aiguille du Midi (Noon Needle) peak in Mont Blanc massif, sending three cars crashing 150 feet below. Four persons were killed and 15 in jured, a toll that might have been higher but for a thick layer of fresh, powdery snow. Officials are not sure whether that crash was due to a slight flaw inside the broken axle or whether the axle was damaged five years earlier when a French military plane hit the cable line, killing six persons as two cable cars ' plummeted into the valley. Strangely enough,, Switzer land, with more cable cars than any other nation, has the best safety record. Its history shows no fatal accidents, though old timers vaguely remember that some 20 years ago, a cabin of the Mt. Saentis cable way got stuck halfway across in a bliz zard and some of the passen gers got seasick before they' were brought to safety a few hours later. Competition among Alpine mountain resorts is cut-throat, such as the race between the neighboring resorts of, Zermatt and Saas-fee to build Europe's highest transport facility. The latter won by 16 feet. Neighboring Austria with fewer cable cars only 74 has kept an exact record of accidents. They list one dead and 23 injured in the last three years, but most of those were cases of carelessness in enter ing or leaving the metal boxes.. Germany has cable cars only in the Bavarian Alps towards its southern border, where 54 cable car systems and 350 ski lifts service vactioners the year round. The only fatal German cable car accident of recent years oc curred in Walchensee Lake in 1955 when a cable broke be tween Walchensee and the neighboring Herzogstand Mountain. One of the cars plunged to earth, killing three and injuring 17. , " .1. - 0 '-j.--: To "i r $250,000 Renovation TRAINEES WANTED The N. C.

Richard Iuen, the food facilities consultant who worked on Chase, t h e Pine Room and Ehringhaus cafe terias, is preparing a report which is due sometime before Christmas. "From , that report, we'll be able, to see how much, if any, we will be able to spend on the dining hall itself," Prilla man said. "We hope to at least get new lighting and paint for new Lenoir. And if there is enough money, we would like to provide a com pletely new decor, although it's doubtful that too much will be left "over from the: modernization of the kitchen." v Prillaman said that c every thing in the kitcherf wn-be replaced, from the "1939 re frigerators on down." The in creased efficiency in opera tions is expected to result in a savings of $10,000 to $12,000 a year. James Wadsworth, director of housing, is already working , with other University officials -in arranging summer housing in relation to the closing of Le noir. "Many more students will be housed in Parker, Teague and Avery this sum mer so that they will be clos er to Chase," Wadsworth said. Although Lenoir will be clos ed, the Pine Room will re main open, although it will probably switch to two cafe teria lines, and only serve wrapped sandwiches, Prilla man said. The "scramble" idea of serving that is used at Chase was decided to require too much physical change at Le noir to be employed. "Actual ly, we need about $400,000 to work with, but we just don't have it. Renovation has been planned for a long time and we've decided that the kitchen work is long overdue," Prilla man said. Prillaman said that only af t : erIuen's report is released I will he be sure just how Anuch will be done outside the kitchen.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Yugbslaviuw: Christmas Will Pass In Darkness BELGRADE (UPD Christ mas, the season of lights, gets a dim reception in the capi tal of Yugoslavis. Neither Western Christen dom's Christmas on Dec. 25 nor the Orthodox holy day of Jan. 7 gets much of a chance for a public show in Yugo slavia. Authorities here do not turn on any of the bright lights designed to usher in the sec ular New Year on Jan. 1 un til after Dec. 25. By the time Jan. 7 rolls around the deco rative lights already have been turned off. But while socialism and modernization have checked ma$s Christmas season cele brations in the major centers such as Belgrade, the old tra ditions carry on in the coun tryside. In the northwest of' t h e country, Slovenia and Croatia, the large population of Ro man Catholics celebrates Christmas much as their Ital ian and Austrian neighbors do. In some parts of Slovenia and the Vojovdina many per sons continue to follow the yuletide customs of their Magyar and Slovak Lutheran ancestors. Most of Serbia and Mace donia is Orthodox and Mos lems dominate in Bosnia, Her zegovina and the southern re publics with their large popu lation of Turks and Albanians. After World War II, the Yugoslav leaders allowed workers to take a holiday on their Sl a v a, family Saint's Day, or on Bozic, Christmas, Jan. 7. But official leave from work is not given any more. Where work and religious Christmas In Other Lands observance do co-exist, the celebrations show the signs of ancient traditions. In Serbia, for example, the. observance begins on Christ mas Eve with family gather ings and early evening mass es. . Straw is spread in each of the four corners of the home to recall the birthplace of t h e Christ Child and an oaken log is carried in ceremoniously to designate remembrance of the manger. The family then settles down to a meal of olives, nuts, fruits, sardines, honey and kidney beans. Meats and fats are bar red by the Serbian Orthodox religion on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, the fam ily enjoys a suckling pig. ROYCE SHOES Will Be OPEN Each Sunday until Christmas! COME SEE US!
