San Diego in fact has taken
much of our population, in fact,
so much so that former valley resi-
dents now living there have formed
a bridge club of three tables, and
also a certain book club has the
majority of it's members living on
the coast where the club is in full
session.
Just to name a few: the Paul
Shaws, Charles B. Provences, H. c.
Buehners, Devon Ellsworths, Don
aid w. Ketchens, Ray Forsheys, E.
C. Barnards, Clifton H. Fields, =. j.
McNamaras, Wendell Hammers,
Warren E. Sages, John r. Robert
sons, are among the former valley
ties in San Diego who make a nice
nucleus so that none can complain
of being lonesome.
We can anticipate however, that
attractive newcomers will be drawn
to the valley to fill the void caused
by these absences. The army officers
wives have certainly been a well
come addition to our social life
and another newcomer who prom.
ises to be also an addition is Mrs
Edwin Bruce Godfrey, wife of DR.
Godfrey, new county health officer
who has travelled widely and who is
an accomplished professional violin
ist. Mrs. Godfrey is the daughter
of former British consul of the
Ionians and was brought up on
the island of Corfu. After years
of study in Europe she became a
professional violinist, playing in
concerts in both Europe and the
United States. She has played a
prominent part in the musical life
of Santa Fe, New Mexico and of
Redlands. Ell Centro Business and
Professional Women's club men,
bers will be interested in learning
that she is a member of the New
Mexico club.

Tinee This Year

y All automobile shows this year
will have a distinct defense tinge.
In fact, like everything else in
the country, defense will be first
and the automobile part some
what subordinated TO IL.
Although no announcement has
yet been made. il is certain that
the dealers will put on a show
here, combined with a defense
exhibit which will outshadow the
new models. This is forecast by
the preview plans which stress
the army trucks, tanks, guns,
shells. etc, on which the COM
panies are now engaged.
New York, which once held
the national automobile show.
has called il off this year. but
word comes now that IL will be
replaced by a Civilian and Ma
tional Defense Exhibition at the
Grand Central Palace from Sep
TENDER 20 TO October Is. The
auto makers have been invited
10 show publicly their progress
