And Yankees don't just look ale, they look unhealthy. The ankees we saw didn't seem to exercise as much as we do, but it's probably harder to jog when then temperature is below zero for weeks at a time. Strangely enough, we did see people jogging, in T-shirts and shorts, in 40-degree shrieking winds next to Lake Michigan. But the dedication required for such a pursuit is considerably higher there than here, which probably accounts for the gener al level of puffiness on Mil waukee streets. In addition, Milwaukee is the city that beer made famous; the locals are very proud of that. And they seem dedicated to keeping the consumption level from declining too precipi tously. Beer may heat you up on a cold night but it doesn't do much for the waistline. Friendliness It is not true that all Yankees are rude. They talk fast, and seem impatient if words don't come flying out of your mouth at the accepted rate, but some are actually polite. Even in Chicago, one or two people still don't snarl at strangers. But in Milwaukee, people say hello and give directions and are every bit as friendly as Texans. We were told that Milwaukee is unusual in that respect — cer tainly some Northeastern Yank ee delegates (to the convention we weren't there for) lacked Mil waukee courtesy. However, the bitter cold and general depressingness of life in Wisconsin haven't turned the denizens of the nation's dairy capital into creeps. They are friendly, outgoing and hospit able people. Learning that not all northerners are stranger eating fiends was the nicest sur prise of our trip. Fashion True cold-weather fashion does not consist of a jacket and, perhaps, a cute muffler. Nor does it consist of striped leg- warmers and a knitted ski cap. Yankees dress in layers — the more, the better. They wear long underwear, then thick, warm shirts and pants, then a sweater, then a scarf, then a coat. The ensemble is completed with gloves, a hat, and boots — for walking through snowdrifts and icy puddles without dam pening the feet. Of course, when it gets really cold, they probably dress war mer, but as noted above, we missed out on real cold weather. But even in the ''clement'' weather we experienced, Yank ees looked like Little Maurice in the National Lampoon comic strip about the Canadian family. When they're outside, they look immense; they can't lower their arms all the way to their sides, and so their arms stick out. They move a little stiffly, but wouldn't you if you were carrying the equivalent of four of Grandma's quilts wrapped around you? Conclusions There are worse things than being a Yankee. At least, Yank ees are Americans and not starv ing Third-Worlders. They seem to survive all right — though we're not exactly sure how — and if they don't glow with health or get to go sunbathing in December, they can still watch TV and go to movies. And they speak the world language, English, albeit very, very fast. And they fly the Stars and Stripes and eat at McDo nald's and shop at Eckerd's. But they're a different race. They dress oddly and have strange tastes. In fact, they have a different history and an entire ly different outlook. For example: they actually look forward to summer. Up there, it's a pleasant, short inter lude, not the six-month marathon it is here. And they don't fly Confeder ate flags. They don't care much about armadillos. They often vote Republican. They don't drive pick-ups. Worst of all: They have a state income tax. No wonder they're flocking south. We did, after just four days. And we're glad to be home.

Two sections are offered for the charm school each term. One section is for the children 5-years to 10-years old. The second is for 11-year-olds and U P\, "We started out having a third class for adults," Arnold said. "Either adults didn't know about it or didn't want to take it, so we combined it with the one that starts at 11 years."
