Fifty pounds of yarn is quite
lot of yarn, or so Mrs. Hugh T. Os-

some time.
In five days every bit was taken
by El Centro women eager tc knit
sweaters, soX, etc, for the armed
forces And now they are clamcr-
ing for more and the new ship
ments haven't arrived 50 many
women are purchasing their own
yarn and will contribute both their
labor and their materials
One Of the busiest women III Ell
Centro right now is Mrs. Arno c.
Yaeckel who not only has her du-
tics as an officer in beth the Red
Cross and the Imperial Valley Con-
cert club, but whe is in the midst
Of that fascinating occupation, pet
ting ready to move into the brand
new home which She and Mr..
Yaeckel expect to occupy in two
weeks. Mrs. Yaeckel is having lots

and most attractive color conb.la-

or four trips Z day TO the new
house to watch the latest Develop
