Thanks to enlightened national
laws, American women need not
lose their nationality upon marry
ing foreigners.
Now, see where Australia and
New Zealand have passed statutes
permitting their women 10 retain
their British nationality after
marrying a foreigner, providing
they state q desire 10 do SO, and
remain in Australia or New Zea-
land, as the case may be.
In the mother country of Great
Britain, however, married women
retain their British nationality
only If they do not automatically
acquire the nationality of the
foreigner they marry.
Naturally, Australia and New
Zealand are unable 10 grant any
further privileges TO their female
citizens. because the British Gov
eminent is not prepared to do so.
Whatever you may think of
foreign marriages, or the wisdom
and advisability of contracting
them, il is a great consolation to
know that ones daughter may re-
tain her American citizenship
and come flying home TO the
parental cover of the good, old
United States, if she should need
to do so.
We make much talk of protect
ing our womanhood. Laws like
these are really a protection.

Wants Recipe For
Making GuaUa Paste

From Miss Gladys Miller Jones,
Honolulu, Hawaii, The Citizen
has received letter in which
Miss Miller wonders if she can
get some information on recipes
for the making of guava paste
such as they have in Havana,
Cuba, which is usually sold in
wooden boxes.
In Honolulu, writes Miss Jones,
there are lots of guavas, they
grow in abundance and new re-
cipes are always welcome. Also
there are good many recipes for
putting up mangoes, and in
Honolulu the writer states 1--WE
make mango chutney which is
considered delicious.
Readers of The Citizen who
have recipes which are adaptable
for use with either mangoes OF
guavas, will confer favor on
Miss Jones by writing her at 247

Harris School PIT. Assn.
Holds Meeting Last Evening

Harris School Parent Teacher
Association held one of the most
enjoyable and well attended
meetings in the history of the as

Each year the association con-
ducts an evening meeting to give
the fathers an opportunity to at

P.T.A. songs, Welcome" ITO
gether Song, "P.T.A. Forever,
Service" and Education" were
sung by the assembly. This was
followed by a well rendered Sc
lection by the Primary Rhythm
Band. The high light of the pro-
gram was a two act playlet ''The
Changing School," written by
Mrs. Isabel Ball. The scene Of
the first act was in an old fashion
ed school room, where the stern
school master attempts to teach
the fundamentals, and is not hav-
ing much success because of the
pranks played by the pupils who
have lost interest in the dry facts
he is trying to make them
memorize. This scene kept the
audience in an uproar from be-
ginning to end.
The second scene was played
by pupils from the intermediate
grades, and Miss ALICE Curry is
the modern teacher. The quail
ties of respect and dignity were
evident as the pupils were Iead to
take active part in acquiriNg and
practical use of knowledge THIS

NEGROES ENJOY
ENTERTAINMENT
MUCH INTEREST IS BEING
SHOWN IN MARQUETTE
INSTITUTE

The Negro Recreation and
Marionette Institute. which open
ed October 81, is proving grand
success, and will be an asset to
that community, it is shown.
Daisy Deminty, heading the Ma
rionette, is very well pleased
with the general attendance of 40
persons each night session.
The progress is shown by the
fact that a show, featuring Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs"
will be presented at the Douglass
School on Thursday night.
The Institute has given the
foundation for the continuation
of this Marionette work in this
community by the persons hav-
ing availed themselves of the OPP
portunity, and have learned this
art enough to continue.
This mode of expression is a
very fine asset to the young and
old alike, and these little people
become real to the operators.
The fine reception and coopera-
ton has been splendid, and the
response shows that there is a
need for this kind of work in the
Negro community, it is said.
Instructions in dramatics have
been given to the students of the
Douglass school and the results
is the organization of a Little
Theatre Group, which will con-
tinue and give short plays, pic
mics, community get-togethers
and hikes.
The Recreation Institute head
ed by r. c. Oliver and assisted
by Gardner Sans has done a
splendid forerunner of the for
nation of a recreation committee
among the Negroes for a larger
scale Social Recreation program
for their community. An average
attendance of forty-five adults
has received the fundamentals of
Social Recreation and the con-
tinuance of this work will be
carried on by these persons. An
average of two community nights
get-togethers will be presented at
the Nelson English Community
Center each month.

DIRECTOR IRA ATEN
RETIRES

Retirement of Director Ira Aten from
the board of directors of the Imperial
Irrigation District, effective when his
term ends in March, is a distinct per-
sonal loss to every voter and taxpayer
in the confines of the district.
He is such a public servant as is sell
dom met with in any county. He is one
of the few men in public life whose
integrity we have never heard question
ed. The worst his opponents have ever
been able to say of him is that he has
been misinformed. Even those who have
opposed his policies from time to time
have been constrained to admit his COM
pete honesty, his fearless discharge of
what he considers his duty, and his un-
ending labor in behalf of the public he
serves.
The entire history of Mr. Atens life is
a history of fearlessness, and that quail
ty was demonstrated many times in his
position as director of the district.
Against united opposition at times, and
against at least some opposition all OF
the time, he has worked tirelessly for
what he believed the best interests of
the people.
To those in official life who believe
that one must play politics to survive,
we are glad to point to Mr. Aten's rec
ord. He has been on the district board
longer than any other director, and he
has played politics less. He is more
highly thought of personally than any
other, and he has bestowed fewer pOliti-
cal favors. His word is regarded with
confidence, yet he has never spoken
sentence in the board room merely be-
cause somebody wanted to hear it.
II will be hard to find man to re-
place this former Texas ranger, whose
life since he came to Imperial county has
been inextricably interviewer with the
life of the county. 1t will be easy to re-
member his service, because Boulder
Dam and the All American canal will
stand for all time as monuments to the
work done by him and few scattered
compatriots.
One thing Mr.. Aten leaves behind him
in public office-a heritage to younger
men who aspire to his position. 1t is
heritage of honesty, courtesy and gen.
tlemanly resolve to act always in the
best interests Of all the people.
