Fetes et Conge de la France La France celebre certaines fates Plusieurs ressemblent a celles de l'Amerique, par ex role le ll novembre est la fete nationale et les grande fe es rfligneuse de Noel, du Jour de l'an et de Paques A Paris le Jour de l'ArmJst1ce, on depose des fleurs sur le tombeau dl oldat inconnu Fn Anerique, ce Jour la, notre president devose les fleurs sur le tombeau du Joldat inconnu america n Q Arlington En France on celebra la prise do la Bastille le lu guillet C'est la fete nationale irancasise Nou celebrons notre Decla ration d' independence le A Juillet Noel, qui etait autrefois en France une fete purement religieuse, devient de plus en plus une fete mondaine, ou le reveillon remplace la hesse de minuit Ordinairement on n offre pas de cadeaux C'est le Jour de l'an qu'on offre detrennes et qu'on rend visite a ses amis Parml les fetes fran aises qui ne correspondent pas a des fetes americaines il y e a Toussaint et le Mardi gras Naurellement les conges, suget tres passies memes dans les deux pays Selected by Elouise Dunham 'SO French Teen Agers About the queerest thing that the French do is to go to school during different months tnan we do The typical school boy or girl starts to school in October and doesn't get out until July They go from 9 till l2 in the morning and from 2 to 5 in the afternoon Their biggest meal is at noon and it is a sacred occasion French women were permitted to vote last vear, conse quently civics courses are unknown in French schools, and incl dentally most French girls consider that the Wwoman's place is in the home. The teen-agers that have been through the war are more world conscious than we are. The war began when they were about 8 years old. So when an orange or new fruit appears on the table for breakfast, it is an extremely happy event. They can't remem- ber what ice cream made with milk tastes like. High school is tough. You may think our high school is,but in France at the age of 15 the boys and girls are ready to enter college. When French students are ready to graduate they take a stiff exam which they call Nbaccalaureatn. It is very difficult and only 505 pass. Americans and the French aren't so different as we some- times think. I think it would be fun to go to France and get acquainted with them. Maybe sometime the privilege may be ours.
