SeVicemen's Dance Planned
AS Canteen Benefit

Armistice day will be highlight-
ed by dance the night preceding
Nov TO- when the Ell Centro can
teen unit will sponsor a dance for
servicemen fo1 the benefit of the
servicemen's canteen.
Through the cooperation of the
Barbara Worth hotel and the Camp
Young band, this dance has been
made possible, the hotel providing
the lobby for dancing, and the band.
the music. All money raised BY this
means will be used in supplying
needed comforts and equipment for
the canteen, the scope of it's activi-
ties being increased greatly by the
large numbers of service men now
stationed in the valley.
Junior hostesses, who incidentally.
like the canteen unit members. will
pay their own admission, will be
on hand to serve as partners for
the servicemen, who may, also, if

the best costumes, the evening
ending with the serving of carnival
refreshments.
Wilson PIT A. introduced a most
successful innovation this year -
O. free Halloween party for the
children of Wilson school only, held
az later hour SO that these young
sters might first attend the Hard
ing or Mckinley parties.
Roller skating, games and a dane
ing contest were the diversions Of
fered, and the traditional Hal
loWe'en games proved the most pop
ular, some 80 prizes being distrib-
uted to the winners in the games,
the costume parade, and the dance
contest. Refreshments of punch
and cookies, made by the mothers,
were served to the $50 children
present. All parents and teachers
cooperated to make this party the
success that it was, and since it
proved so popular, it will probably
become an annual event.
HOLTVILLE
Holtville PIT. A. also had a
carnival, this year planned for
grammar school children and their
parents only, instead of a COM
munity affair as in the past. The
carnival proved huge success,
with all sorts of games available for
everyone, the pony rides for the
children being most popular. Hot
dogs. ice cream, pop and the ira
ditional carnival dishes were served
to guests.
ACACIA CARNIVAL
The Acacia community turned out
EN- masSe at the carnival held in
the school house, the school Or
chestra and the children's big var
iety show playing to a capacity
house. The refreshment booths
were sold out, the booths offering
the various games, made a sub
stantial sum, and all the money
thus earned will be used for pur-
chasing coolers for the school.
BRAWLEY
BraWley's Barbara Worth school
was headquarters for the PIT. A.
carnival which, like the others, was
tremendous success, both from
the standpoint of providing a COM
munity celebration and netting the
PIT. A. treasury a nice sum of
money, well over $3.50. Supper was
served here, with lots of entertain
ment afterwards, the horseback
riding, the picture show and the
fun house perhaps being the most
popular attractions.
CALEXICO
Calexico sold over 7500 five cent
tickets at the carnival Saturday
night on the Hoffman school
grounds, indicating the success that
this affair attained. Adults and
youngsters alike enjoyed the eve
ming thoroughly from the tempting
supper dishes to the variety of
shows provided for the guests en-
tertainment.

Mr.. Atkin, who has served as
director for both organizations dur
ing the entire time of their eXis-
tence, and to whom much credit
is due for their excellent work, has
received his commission in the
United States Navy and leaves at
once for New York City.
I'VE feel that during this time of
emergency, with all of us engaged
in war work, that it is better to dis
band the orchestra and chorus for

ven, president of the Nv. Symphony

are looking forward to the time
when the two organizations may
resume their activities as we feel
that the splendid contribution they
have made to the cultural life of

We regard the present diSbanding
as a temporary action only.
LAS president, l express for the
directors the appreciation we feel
for the outstanding work done by
Stan Atkin who has given his time
to both organizations since their
inception. His work as director is
responsible for their success and
without him, we could never have
accomplished what we have in the
past few years. He will be missed
greatly by all of us"

GIVE COOKIES
Central High school and junior
college students are joining the
campaign to contribute cookies to
the eanteen and have arranged to
give 25 dozen each week. This
cookie campaign is under the spon-
sorship of the Warrior Nomad staff
and began last week when cookies
were taken to the canteen.
The girls have organized their
campaign SO that there is no dam
ger of a feast one week and fam
inc the next. A large chart has
been prepared, and the girls sign
up for the week and day on which
they donate cookies. The cookies
are brought to the school where a
special committee will handle the
delivery.
This committee also will take
cookies to the canteen for citizens
of the community if they notify
the school, planning a regular de-
livery system which will insure a
steady supply of cookies to the
canteen.

HaIIowe en- CarnivaIs Prove
Unusually Successful

Halloween this year was marked
by the most successful P.-T.A. carni-
walls in history, the celebrations re-
Sulting in a good time for every
one with far less damage than usual.
Children cooperated with the re-
quests of their parents and teach
ers, as well as with the various au-
thorities, that the usual acts of
damage be omitted in view of the
war, and there was very little of
the trick or treat" or more serious
acts of vandalism reported.
Ell CENTRIC
In Ell Centre four celebrations
were outstanding, all sponsored by
Parent-Teacher associations: the
twin carnivals at Harding and Nc
kinley schools, a carnival at Wash
ington school, and a party at Will
son.
Both Mckinley and Harding car
nivals were exceptionally we'll at
tended and both resulted not only
in a good time for everyone at
tending, but in netting the two
associations substantial sums of
money to be used in child welfare
work.
AT Mckinley, the attendance was
much larger than last year and
everyone was in a holiday mood.
Supper dishes were purchased from
brilliantly decorated booths, other
attractive booths offering patrons
opportunities to try their skill and
luck at various games. One of the
most successful entertainment feat
ureS of this carnival was the fun
house.
AS a result of this carnival, Nc
kinley P.-TA. has we'll over 5000
in its treasury and Mrs. Robert AL
len, president, expressed her appre-
citation and that of the association
to the businessmen, the parents, the
teachers and the children all of
whom helped make this carnival
success.
Hardings carnival was so we'll at

exhausted, the largest crowd in his
tory being present to enjoy the sup

the general program being similar
in pattern to that at Mckinley, only

proved the most popular single show.

promising them a particularly good
time at the carnival instead The
children kept their promise and as
result, very little damage, not
even doorbell ringing, was reported
on the southside OF town.
This carnival netted over $4OO and
Mrs Gerald l.. Dermondy also wish

possible.

Methodist Tea
Sunday Proves
Popular Event

One of the incest of Methodist
church affairs was the singing tea
which took place Sunday afternoon
in the church social hall under the

of the class, and Mrs. Mary Nc
Elwain, poured.
Beautiful baskets of flowers
from her store opening, were con-
tributed by Mrs. Florence Denham
making an exquisite background for
the affair.
Community singing was led by
Dorothy Armstrong to a tWo-piano
accompaniment by Mrs. Edna Hen
nessey, and Mrs. Eugene Waterman
with incidental sclos by Nancy
Young and Roberta jerks.
The Rev. Mr.. Hayden S. Sears,
