Local Hi-Y Group
Sells $50 Defense Stamps

The Hi-Y is sponsoring a very en-
thusiastic defense stamp sale in
the schools, including the elemen-
tary, Junior and senior high schools
The club put $500 of it's own
money in the purchase of 10, Is and
so cent stamps. These were sold to
students and the money from the
sale in turn was put back into the
purchase of stamps for the resale
at school. The club has $500 of
it's money invested at present, which
is used to keep a supply of stamps
on hand. Each morning stamps are
bought from the p. o. and the sale
is checked each day.
The first sale was made on Jan.
IS, when $3.50 in stamps was sold.
The thirty boys of the Hi-Y organ
ization are taking turns in the sale.
Most of the selling is done at 1890 in
the elementary school and at noon
in the Junior and Senior high
school,
During the fourteen days of sell
ing over $4,000 worth of stamps have
been purchased from the post Of
flee and sold to the students.
The biggest days of sale were on
January 20, % and %, when the
following amounts, respectively, were
sold: $11.1O, $12.25 and $500.
The Hi-Y boys are cooperating
very well in the sale and the stu
dents and teachers are doing their
part by purchasing the stamps.
There is no profit whatsoever to
the Hi-Y, but the boys are selling
purely as service. Stamps will be
on sale every day until school is
out.

mothers who wish to help with the

do so, being assured that their
children will be looked after care
fully in their absence.
This announcement will be of
interest not only to the mothers in
question, but also to the Red Cross,
since the chapters quota is way
behind and since the work is SO
urgent.
The center was closed Thursday

dinner of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Science
President Walter Wagner said
1000 votes would be cast this year
nominating players, production Of
ficialS and films for Oscars" The
figure will be 1000 less than last
year Wanger said, because of serv-
ice of film workers in the armed
forces.
Wanger said that for the first
time an award was to be given to
the best picture produced outside
Of Hollywood during 1912. Only
requirement will be that the pic
ture be 4 full-length feature.

War Brings Many Changes in
Women's Activities in l942

affected some OF the countrywide
groups, but just how it will af-
feet those within community, is
vet to be determined.
FEWER MEETINGS
Some groups have cut down on
the number of their meetings, but
the great majority are determined
to go ahead as long as possible,
feeling that the importance of their
work is such that it should be aban-
doned only by real necessity.
The Business and Professional
Women'S club, the American Le-
gion Auxiliary, the Nv. 8 ct 40,
the Soroptimists, to name but few
organizations have fewer business
meetings, devoting the other ses-
sions to some type of war work
and probably other organizations
will follow this lead. Brawley
Woman's Community club, instead
of having two meetings a month,
has one business and program ses-
sion, and one devoted to war work.
Farm home departments will un-
questionably be affected by ra-
tioning of gasoline, but foreseeing
this problem, many have made
plans for fewer meetings, and for
small neighborhood sessions which
will require less mileage.
There is no doubt that 1913 will
demand much of the women of
the valley, and also, there is no
doubt that they will rise re de-
mands.

For women of the valley the year
1912 brought new responsibilities
and new interests as a result of
the war-the war not only affect
ing them in their family life, but
in their activities as we'll since war
work took the foreground. pushing
all former interests into the back
ground.
In 1912 the Red Cross expanded
the scope of its activities tremen-
dously and with the establishment
of various servicemen's units in
the county, the servicemens cam
teen was organized, and the Red
Cross camp and hospital service
committee took over other duties
on behalf OF the men.
For l943 with completion of
Camp Ell Centre, more and more
servicemen will be stationed per-
manently in the valley and
churches and civic organizations
will cooperate with the city serv-
icemen's recreation council to pro-
vide suitable recreation for these
men as well as for those in outly-
ing desert areas
Women will be called upon for
this work as we'll as the routine
activities as manning the ground
observation posts, knitting, sewing
for the Red Cross, working in the
motor corps. making surgical dress
ings, etc. A Gray Ladies Red Cross
init will be established in all prob
ability in 1913 and mony other
new duties will be performed by
the women of the county.

any social activities were concern

Background for stardom: At one
time or another you've probably
heard of someone who had
crush" on a film star. Well, eight
years ago a young man in Pasadena,
Calf, had a crush on a movie
star. He collected photographs of
her and was always writing her
fan letters. But he never mailed
them because after writing them
they just diont seem adequate. One
night he went to q previeW of one
of her pictures in Hollywood. AS
he was walking CIT of the theater
in a happy daze, the crowd jostled
him against a beautiful girl. He
knocked her purse from her hand,
picked it up. turned and then STAR
ed right into the face of his ia
orite actress. His own face turned
red, he mumbled an apology and
fled in embarrassment.
THE BREAK
Two years later the boy started
to study acting at the Pasadena
Community Playhouse. For six
years he studied and worked in
Little Theater plays, and finally
played minor roles in several films.
And then came the big break. A

BATTLE OF PRODUC.
TON

This country is at last wen
ming the battle of production.
We have not lived up to all our
hope sand forecasts. But the in
struments of war are rolling out
of the plants in a steadily gain
ing stream.
The next job is to win the
battle of the ocean Transports
tion." We're trying to keep the
actual combat fronts away. from
this continent. but we cannot.d do
that unless we can produce the.
vast amount of shipping thai. is
needed to transport and serve
and supply United Nations
troops on all the far-fung war.
fronts of the world.
This is not simply a matter
of producing enough ships to off
set losses. Our rate of production
must be far greater than our loss
rate, especially in the matter Of
tankers. So far. ship production
has been under the schedules
previously laid down. Strenuous
efforts are being made to bring
it up to the necessary level. The
work done in our shipyards will
have a tremendous bearing on.
the length of time it will take to
win this war. The outlook is, not
to the best yet and hard work
lais ahead.
