he laughed, "you can’t define a
woman—they’re indefinable.” . . .

CLOSED UNTIL SPRING—It can’t fly
south like the bluebirds do but this great asphalt
plant (photo shows boiler where stone is heated
before mixing) has been shut down until warmer
months when highway work will resume. The
new Highway 301, supplied with asphalt from
this plant, couldn’t be finished before the cool
weather set in so now operation will end, ex
cept for some grading, until Spring. This great
asphalt plant is portable, will eventually be mov
ed to another site when roads here are com
pleted. (Record Photo by Ted Crail.)

Perky Blonde
Does Skiing
In W'Chair
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (IP) —
A perky, blonde coed who only
three years ago was America’s
ski queen, rushed through final
school-work this week in order to
spend her Christmas vacation at
her first love, skiing—even though
she does it now in a wheelchair
“They just sort of bolt these
special skis on the bottom of my
chair, the kids give me a shove
and I yell if anyone gets in the
way,” Jill Kinmont explained with
a smile.
Jill is the pretty blue-eyed girl
with the vivacious manner and
voice—now a UCLA student—who
broke her back and was paralyzed
from the neck down three years
ago in a skiing accident. She was
trying out for the U. S. Olympic
s'ki team at the time. The Ameri
can women’s slalom champion,
she was considered a cinch for
the team berth. But she slammed
into a spectator and a tree, end
ing her skiing career — possibly
never to walk again.

Ike Flying Home;
Happy Over Meet
PARIS (UP)—President Eisenhower flew home to
Washington tonight happy with the results of the historic
NATO summit conference. Much of its success was due to
his presence and to his enormous personal prestige in
Europe.
The President left Orly airport
aboard his plane, Colombine III,
for the overnight transatlantic
hop. The plane was scheduled to
land in Washington early Friday
morning.
The President closed the final
session of the four - day NATO
meeting with a request that the
other chiefs and their staffs pause
with him for 30 seconds of silence
"in the hope that our work has
not been in vain.”
His own presence had done
much to dispel the gloom that
enveloped Western Europe on the
heels of Soviet missile and satel
lite successes.
Refused Thanks
He successfully led the other 14
NATO nations over such barriers
as the reluctance of many of them
to have U. S. nuclear missile bas
es on their soil.
In the end, he had refused to
allow the final communique to ex
press gratitude to the United
States from the other nations for
its physical and moral support.
Eisenhower said there was no
need for that since “we are all
equal members of the same alli
ance.”
In a final speech he told the
other 14 nations here that the de
cisions they reached will make
“war less likely, peace more
sure.”
The President kept up a driving
pace throughout the four-day con
ference, but it did not appear to
have bothered him, despite the
mild stroke he suffered Nov. 25.
Before the session this morning,
the President .received a gold
medal from Count Francois de
Vogue, head of the French Far
mers Society in “recognition of
the fact the President has a farm
