They no longer are the dependent women of past generations; they have proven themselves in every field of industry, art and the professions. The buying power of women in the consumer markets of today is of utmost importance. Necessarily it follows that their intelligent use of the medium­ money-is essential. Where else is there a better opportunity to learn such use than in college? This is a period in which good or bad money habits may be formed. The habits so formed will be an influence in future life. The basic knowledge of a budget, the importance of operating on one's income-the estab­ lishing and maintaining of credit-the value of intelligent purchasing-the se­ curity reflected in saving for future needs-the building of personal integrity­ are benefits to be derived from chapter programs on finance. Installment buy­ ing these days is made so attractive that it is easy to contract for more than one's income will allow. However, adequate early budget training makes one aware of the total obligation which can be assumed without overburdening income. A well-planned chapter program will bring each member satisfaction and understanding of the proper financial procedures used in every day living. Better management for the future, whether it be as a homemaker, an office worker, a school teacher, a professional in a specific field, depends upon under­ standing the basic principles of finance. Determination to fulfill decisions reached as they arise is dependent upon the strength of one's integrity. It is not possible to foretell one's future, but each member should take ad­ vantage of all opportunities to help her live life to the best of her ability. Under­ standing never fails and the more it is cultivated the more rewarding are the days ahead. It is best to gain this knowledge before financial problems are thrust upon one. A husband is fortunate whose wife spends his income intelligently. A widow is fortunate who understands how to spend her own income.

Santa Claus' year 'round home had long been in question in the minds of multitudes of youngsters, from 8 to 80. Where else could there be a more appro­ priate location for the North Pole than at the very foot of America's most famous mountain, Pikes Peak? So Santa's Workshop, North Pole, Colorado came into existence. Con­ sisting of 11 bright red and blue Swiss chalet-type buildings as well as numerous warehouses, rest rooms, and utility buildings on 25 pine­ covered acres, this is the perfect setting for old Santa's home. Santa is in residence here from early May till December 24th, when he must close shop for his famous trip. The buildings contain six beauti­ ful shops, a post office, Santa's house, Mother Hubbard's Cupboard (never bare!), a large covered show house where magic shows go on every hour, Santa's charming wee chapel; and several others housing interesting artisans such as the glassblower, the Indian silversmith and arrow maker, the plastics worker and candy maker.
