Notebook

Weddings are the center OF at
tention these days and we may eX-
pect many. one of the most i'm
portant of them being the one at
high noon Saturday when attrac-
tive Elizabeth Meyer daughter OF
MI. and Mrs. Howard P. Meyer,
became the bride of John Kearney
sen of Mrs. Anita e,earney OF Los
Angeles.
Within the next few weeks this
popular couple will be honOred at
q number OF smart social affairs,
which are being planned by their
wide circle Ul friends.
Aside from weddings our inter-
est Centers largely III our war work
and to many VINO have asked Wheth-
er or not it is possible 70 entertain
the men from Camp Seeley, and
whether or not they would like TO
be guests in the homes. the answers
is an emphatic yes.
Officers of Camp Seeley have
been consulted and said that many
of the men are lonely and would
be delighted to have invitations as
guests in the valley homes. Any
hostess wishing to entertain one
or more soldiers may telephone
the camp number 1875, extension
2. and arrangements will be made.
Officers suggest that Invitations
be extended the day previous If
possible. On Saturdays and Sun
days. transportation is usually
available but those who plan to
entertain the men during the week
will have to arrange transporta-
ton for them.
The men are entitled 70 six hours
leave but must be back at camp
by II p. m. On week days, it is i'm
possible TOR them to leave before
5 p. m, but they can leave at noon
on Saturday and almost any time
on Sunday, the time To be arranged
when calling camp.
From Camp Lockett comes 4 Sug-
geStiCn made by officers 20 Edna
MolriSion OF FL Centro-that vari-
Gus Women'S organizations adopt a
troop. For example Troop A has
already been adopted by a San
Diego club. which means that the
men will have SCme group to which
they can bring their problems. The
women are taking charge Of the
troops recreation hall, supplying it
With games. card tables. curtains
radio, and such furniture as they
can secure.
Each troop has It's own recreation
room, but the government supplies
only lights, heating, and the bare
room itself, Fortunately through
other agencies, billiard tables and
pianos have been given but each
room needs curtains, furniture
radios, games and the sponsoring
groups might supply these.
To American Legion Auxiliary
units in the valley are arranging
to collect games, cards and card
tables, but other equipment is
lacking.
