Chorus to Resume Rehearsa|s

hand, but also, newcomers who
enjoy either playing or singing.
Both groups were organized pri-
marily for musicians, amateur or
professional, who enjoy playing or
singing in ensemble and who wish
to keep up their music, and both
groups include residents from all
valley communities.
The orchestra was the first to be
organized and has made a name
for itself as an outstanding musical
group, having given a number OF
excellent concerts under the direc-
ton of Stan Atkin of Central high
school, also director for the chorus.
The group includes amateurs,
teachers of music, professional mu-
sicians, any adult who played an
instrument being welcomed.
In the chorus, organized last
year men and women who enjoy
singing together found an oppor-
tunity to realize this pleasure, and
like the orchestra, the chorus quick
ly became known for it's excellent
work.
Supporting both groups, acting
as the business manager for the
musicians, is the Imperial Valley
Symphony Orchestra association,
composed of outstanding residents
from various valley communities in
terested in maintaining these Or
ganizaticns in belief that they are
real community assets.

D.U.V. Changes
Meeting Dates

Gas rationing is causing many
countrywide organizations to cut
down on the number of meetings,
and in keeping with this program.
Anna Marie Ross Tent, Daughters
of Union Veterans of the Civil War,
has voted to have but one regular
meeting a month, instead of two,
since the members of this group
come from all part of the valley.
This decision was made at Satur-
days meeting in the Ell Centre vet
Grams hall, and will be in force for
the duration of the gas rationing
period.
The California Daughters are
purchasing an ambulance which is
to be turned over to the American
Red Cross for service on the coast
and which will be dedicated to the
comrades of the Grand Army of
the Republic.
The valley members are complet-
ing a record book, dedicated to
their fathers who were Civil War
veterans, this book to be placed in
the Ell Centre public library.

Someone relieved his mind by
explaining that it was the corps
en- route to attend the party cele-
brating opening of the new recre-
alton room at the Camp Young
hospital.
Only unfortunately, when the
group arrived they found that the
recreation room had had to be put
to use for patients rather than for
dancing So, instead, the group was
taken half a mile to a mess hall
for dinner, and back to another
mess hall, hastily converted into
a recreation room, where the dance
took place.
Despite their disappointment the
I.D.C. members proved themselves
to be good sports and enjoyed the
dance doing their best to give the
men there a good time also.

Home Department
Women TO Study
'HeaI+h Project

Farm home department members
throughout Imperial County will,
for the next three months, devote
their study to the essentials in
maintaining good health, since this
Is one of the most important prob
lens of the day, not only because
of the direct relation of civilian
good health to the war effort, but
also because of the shortage of doc
tors and nurses.
This decision was made at the
meeting of the chairmen for each
center in the county, the women
assembling Saturday morning in
the court house to talk over the
program with Miss Florence Glenn,
home demonstration agent.
From the middle of october to the
middle of November study will be
devoted to the nutrients and the
factors which help or influence
their preservation in the prepara-
ton of foods.
The next month will be devoted
to colds and respiratory infections
and the effect of diet, and the third
month will also take up health
and nutrition project.
Bread Making
One of the immediate projects is
that of bread making-with en-
phasis including the essential nu-
trients for health. Thursday of this
week at 10 a. m. in the home eco
nomics laboratory at the high
school, Miss Barbara Sampson home
demonstration agent at large, will
give a demonstration on bread
making which it is hoped will be
carried back by the project leaders
to every home in the county.
This is part of statewide pro-
gram to introduce methods of max
xNk nutritious bread into every
home since, with the impending
gas rationing, bread wagons will
call less frequently, if at all. at
rural homes, and the country home
maker will make fewer trips to
town.
The problem of meetings under
gas rationing was discussed and
the women decided to continue
those center meetings at which Miss
Glenn is present to conduct DEM
onstrationS. For the folloW-up
meetings some centers decided to
continue with them for the present,
and others, to either give them up
or to have smaller, neighborhood
sessions where the women will have
less distance to travel.
The county committee so organ
lied its work that it will have no
more meetings until after the usual
January conference of home dem
onstration agents and farm ad-
visors.
Representatives
Mrs. H. B. Ross of the farm Sc
curity administration talked briefly
on the proposed medical and hos
pitalization project.
Centers represented included;
