Talent Bureau
Makes College
Booking House

BERKELEY, Nov. 27. WP)-With
its new Talent Bureau" the Uni
versity of California can virtually
qualify as a vaudeville booking
house.
The bureau was established to
ascertain If among the 14000-
students there could not be found
enough real entertainment talent
to render it unnecessary for stu
dent organizations to engage pro-
fessional artists outside. The idea
has clicked.
To date the bureau has registered
33 student artists" ready to fill
requests for almost any form of
entertainment.
Singers and dancers dominate
the list of applicants. Strangely
enough, there are very few "skat"
singers among the registered. Most
Of the vocalists trend toward the
classical and semi classical type of
music.
The dancers range from ballet to
tap, with a twin-sister act which
Specializes in Irish dancing and a
partnership in ballroom dancing
featuring the list.
Other out-of-the- ordinary artists
are the girl who specializes in bird
calls, a musical saw player, a
"crutch act with recitations," a
violinist who is best at barn dance
music, and complete women's
dance orchestra.
More orthodox entertainers in
clude three guitarists, three piano
players, trumpet and drum play
er, and a piano and song act. Two
others have just listed themselves
as factors"

Valley to Entertain
Delegates to Farm
Bureau Convention

Imperial Valley is making prep
arations to entertain all delegates
to the national farm bureau con-
yention who pass through the val
ley to Pasadena en- route to the
convention Dec. and II.
A large motorcade is leaving
Dallas, Texas, Dec and will prob
ably stop in the valley either going
to or from the convention.
G. O. Hoober, farm bureau pres
ident, has written the leader of this
motor caravan, asking them if they
go by way of Blythe to Pasadena
that they return via San Diego and
Imperial Valley so that they may
see something of this county and
learn something of its agricultural
problems which differ SO decidedly
from those of other regions.
Headquarters are to be establish
ed in Ell Centro at the Barbara
Worth hotel with farm bureau
members in charge to supply in
formation relative to the valley to
all visitors coming through the
county to or from the convention.
Information will be obtainable rela-
tive to hotel accommodations in the
various cities and arrangements
will be made so that visitors may
learn of drives about the valley
which will give them some idea of
the agricultural industries of the
county. Several farm bureau men,
bers have offered their cars and
their services as guides for visitors
who wish to be shown about the
valley. Trips to the All American
canal and to other parts of the
county's irrigation system have been
planned.

Such action would nullify the di-
vorce and make marriage between
the king and Mrs. Simpson impos-
sible.
The kings proctor is the official
charged with investigating divorce
cases if anything reaches his ears
indicating collusion in obtaining the
divorce, or if the complaining party
who obtained it was also guilty of
undisclosed infidelity.
If the proctor is unwilling to act
in this case because it involves the
crown, legal authorities pointed out
today that any interested member
of the public" can hire a lawyer and
technically take the place of the
proctor and show cause why the
divorce should not be made abso-
lutte.
The court then would be obliged
to act, just as though the kings
proctor had interviewed. If collu-
sion is proved, the court is obligat-
:. ed to decline to make the decree
final. If infidelity by the petitioner
sis proved, the court is theoretically
entitled to use its discretion, but
the judge rarely does so.
Village Gossip
The situation had no apparent
effect on the association of the king
and Mrs. Simpson. Village gossip
at Virginia Water, adjoining Fort
Belvedere. limited that there had
been a rift between the two, but
they appeared happily together in
unusually brilliant November sun
shine and INDUCED in their mutual
fondness for flowers and shrubbery
The king wore a soiled old pair
of flannel "bags" and appeared
thoroughly happy. He and Mrs
Simpson planned to spent the week.
end at Fort Belvedere with friends,
as usual.
News TO the association between
the king and Mrs. Simpson, which
has been suppressed by the British
press and periodicals, nevertheless
has become fairly common talk
through the circulation of American
publications.
n Responsible British sources said
lthat the special meeting of the
British cabinet which was held yes
terday was devoted to discussions OF
the Simpson divorce.
It was understood reliably that
the urgent session was called as
the result of many letters-one ver-
sion said hundreds-received by the
kings proctor challenging the
granting of divorce to Mrs. Simp-
son at Ipswich last month.
The letters, it was said, urged the
proctor to intervene and prevent
the decree from becoming final or
the expiration of the prescribed six

visitors from Waterbury, Nauga- tuck, New Milford, watertown and numerous other cities and towns in this vicinity joined in the fun at Camp PerBhing, Boy Scout Camp, this weekend when the annual cir- GUS was held. Several days prepaFa- ton was held by the scouts in anti. cipation of this event and their acts were well received by the large at. tendance.
 Shortly after dinner Saturday the side show and concession booths were opened and the willing crowds played dart games, ring toss, and other games of skill. The dodger was hit in the eye many times but his face always contained a wide grin which only seemed to spur the visi- tors on to greater efforts. The man who breatheG, eats, and drinks uri- der water proved to be the feature hit of the side show although the wild man from Borneo, the strong man, the 6lAmese Twins, the fat man and lady, and the green pig all aroused much interest.
 Added Features
 The grand entry of oil the per- formers was the official opening for the main show and the audience saw in turn eplasho Mike, the high diver; Whodini, the bouncing acro- bats with Activities Director Wally Abel as the star performer, the bending of two-inch iron pipe by the worlds champion strong man, the presentation of the intelligent Cook from 0ookland--the only ami. mai of i1 kind in captivity: and many other acts with numerous clever stunts by the clowns under the direction of Ned Ayotte.

 Marketing Committee
 Possibly the most important step taken by the administration since 1t took ofilce, is the appointment of the milk marketing committee" said Administrator Buckingham. "Thc work Of this committee will be judged by the Boundness of it's re- port rather than the speed with which It's decisions are reached. Too often ill-advised marketing pro- grams, hastily devised, have brought cvhaos rather than the desired mar ket stability.
 "Any program which B to be of real value to the industry must be one upon which the industry may continue to grow and prosper, Bee cure in the knowledge that its plans will not be constantly upset by the changes in program. Experience has shown in a number of states the absolutet futilIty of attempting to proceed under a program witht which there has to be frequent and too general tinkering."
 During the past Six months there has been machinery set in motion that promises very definite progress toward a better understanding of the underlying difIiculties which confront the dairy industry in Con- necticut."
 Conferences Held
 During the six-montht's period the administration has endeavored to be of every assistance W the inc dustry. There have been many in- formal conferences with dealers who have found themselves in dIfiiculty and they have been assisted to ur' derstand and comply with the law and the regulations. A great deal of statistical information and facts concerning the industry, both here and in other markets, have been prepared and made available to the public. Further information will be made available to the trade and the public as rapidly as is possible, in view of the comparatively small amount of time which can be giv- en to this phase of the administra- tion's work"
