Your family has lived for many generations in lericho and you have your own home and some land, too. The climate of lericho is mild in winter. Oranges and other fruits grow very well.

That day will be burned川 oyour memory, for it was heralded by the sounds of Israeli bombers overhead. Dropping from them were fiery bombs of napalm which burned two of your sisters to death.

Speed alone does not kill until a driver al-lows it to become g同 aterthan his ability to control it

A car never is mechanically defective unless the owner has allowed it to become so,

Highways or bad weather do not cause colli-slons.

These are the scapegoats for the thought-lessness, the inattention, the discourtesy, the over-inflated egoism, and the impatience of human beings, These are the excuses of people who overdrive their ability, who drive faster than common sense dictates, who drink when they know they cannot drink and drive sensibly, who pass on hills or curves, and who always assume “It can't happen to me・

We are gradually building up a liule Aramco colony near Hot Springs, the latest being lhe Samples who will have a house on Lake Hamilton when they retire... Finally saw the University of Arkansas Campus at Fayetteville (this gal's alma mater) in the Fall when the leaves were at their best. This is really fabulous country and 1 seem 10 enjoy it as much now as when I first arrived, although the politics in the area leave me somewhat aghast at limes, at least f回 m the newspaper問 ports...Remember, if you ever get down this way, do lookme up... Still enjoy AAAJ

Horry ond OIive Snyder -Ohahran, Saudi Arabia

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you aW As many of you already know, we 陀 tiredfrom Aramco 31 January 1966, and joined the College of Petroleum and Minerals ,

the next day as Assistant Oean (Academic Af- I fairs). The work has proven to be an eXcIting challenge and a source of rich personal satis-factions... On 6 March 1966, Olive was recalled to duty with the Government girls' schools, th目

time as Inspectress of Health in the eight girls' schools bui1t by A目 mco.(To Aramco's credit are 30 excellent boys' and girls' elementary and junior high schools which have出encompleted and turned over to the Government.) The work proved too heavy a drain on Olive physically and she decided to問 signon 31 July 1967.・Ouryoung people and their families are both in the States... the six grandchildren (Allan's two sons and Carlene's four daughters) are growing fast. This year we plan a winter vacation, starting with a ten-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania over Christmas and New Year's, after which we shall f1y to the States to visit the young folks for about th陀 eweeks... May this find you well
