'Mari|y InsIe Presented
In Brilliant Concert

OF the young artist, and this group
concluded with Spanish Dance"
(Granados- os-KreiSler) played with
true Spanish flavor and marked
feeling for rhythm. AS an encore
for this group Marilyn played the
familiar "Smilin' Through" arrang-
ed especially for the violin.
A second piano group followed
featuring the more modern COM
posers and opening with Debussy's
Second ArabeSque" which is De-
busy in a gay frivolous mood. Two
descriptive numbers were then pre-
sented, by the Frog Pond (See-
boeck and "A Burro Ride" (De-
nee).
The concluding number and the
climax for the whole program was
the first movement of the Saint
SaenS Concerto in G Minor with
Estelle Livingston playing the or
chestral parts on the second piano.
This was perhaps the most beau
tiful of all Marilyn's numbers as
she played the concerto with bril-
lance, fervor, vigor, which contrast
ed with the melodic harmonic back
ground, doing an exceptionally fine
bit of playing for such young girl.
Mrs. Livingston gave a remark
ably fine rendition of the orches-
tral parts and added considerably to
the enjoyment of the audience in
this number.
For encores Marilyn played a
Beethoven number and the Nc
Dowell Uncle Remus," beings OBJ
yiously q Mcdowell enthusiast and
one who enjoys modern music.
For the violin group, Dorothy
Armstrong was an ideal accompan-
ist, sympathetic, efficient, subordi-
mating the piano and violin.
The dining room of the hotel was
filled to capacity by Marilyn's many
friends and admirers who were en-
thusiastic over her brilliant pro-
gram. Many flowers sent by her
friends and a profusion of green
cry provided a beautiful setting for
this outstanding program.

valley home nursing instructors be
sent to the home nursing workshop,
or instruction school in Los An

monthly meeting of the board of
directors for the Ell Centro chapter

The purpose of the workshop is to
enlarge the scope of the home nurs-

the opinion of the directors that
if one representative was sent from

duct a school for the other inStruc-

DR.. E. B. Godfrey reported on the
progress of the blood donors cam
paign, pointing out that the county
health department has taken and
typed blood from 1865 donors, and
that through private laboratories
and private physicians, a total of
$50 has been typed. The county
goal is 1000 blood donors. Begin

er, for a period of six weeks, no
blood donors will be typed.

War department asking the Red
Cross to take over the establishment
of service clubs for enlisted men in
ireland, Australia and Iceland, max
ing charge for lodging, food, and
such articles as are sold ordinarily
in post exchanges.
The Red Cross has always been
opposed to charging enlisted men
! for such services but the war de-
partment requested that a minimum
charge be made, pointing out that
this practice is in line with that
adopted by other nations.
Unless the service clubs are pro-

Pilots S Heroism
Spares Lives Of
Fellow Soldiers

SAN FRANCISCO, June l6 (UP)
- Army air corps Officers today
praised young pilot whose alert
ness in the face of death saved
many of his fellow soldiers.
The pilot, Second Lieutenant
James H. Mitchell, %, Cleveland,
O., was killed crash landing his
fighter plane at San Francisco air
port shortly before noon yesterday.
Pvt. Leverett B. Thomas, Burley,
Ida, who was servicing another
plane, also was killed.
Lieutenant Mitchell portrayed
the high type of courage displayed
time and again on our far-flung
battle fronts b. the Army air fore
es when he maneuVered his wildly
careening fighter craft from a path
which would have flung it into
the open door of hangar hous-
ing over 200 enlisted men, and
crashed in flames against divid-
ing partition between two main
tenance hangers Hamilton Field
authorities said.
Eye witnesses - fellow pilots of
Lieutenant Mitchell-Said it was
apparent the young flyer, fully
realizing his own predicament,
banked his speeding craft when
only a few feet from the ground,
causing his left wind tip to drag
and change direction of his line of
flight, avoiding the quarters of the
enlisted men and crashing the
plane against the maintenance
hangers. He thereby saved the lives
of a large number of men who were
relaxing in their quarters"
Fire resulting from the crash de
stroyed two hangers and four Army
planes before firemen from nearby
communities arrived. Ammunition
exploded in the blazing hangers.
