Instead of treating restrictions on
clothing anG oo..cr essentials as
mere vacations with which she has
to cope, the British housewife is
finding satisfaction in thrift, both
for her own sake and that of the
national war effort.

IN THE VALLEY
CANTEEN BUSY

What between serving coffee and
cookies to hundreds of men and
/, trying to find beds for dozens of
tservicemen stranded overnight in
the city with all hotel and ROOM
ing houses filled to overlooking,
canteen hostesSeS have had a busy
holiday weekend.
- Through the generosity of the
Oeity's homemakers, the cookie sup
ply has held up splendidly and
there were big plates of cookies,
bowls OF popcorn, apples, dates and
tanGerines ready for the hundreds
OF men who called.
Every single writing table was
busy all the time as literally hum
dreds Oh letters were written, and
hOStesses were given many to mail,
as well as packages, and were called
upon for variety of commissions
from sewing on buttons to deliver
ing messages.
Piano and juke box went con-
stantly, the ping pong tables were
busy every minute and every IA
cility of the canteen was taxed
to its capacity, the big room really
being scene of cheerful confus-
ion as the men enjoyed its hospi-
tality Some times they were lined
up three and four deep behind the
counter waiting to be served, and
literally dozens and dozens OF gal
Mons of coffee were made, one
Dthrec gallon urn being emptied in
no time at all.
Mrs. Karl Kaiser came in Friday
night with big boxes of crackers
and bowls of cheese mixture to add
Ito the supply which her donation
: being met with enthusiasm by one
particular group which was broke,
and hungry.
And while all this was going on,
whenever hostesses got breathing
spell, they dashed to the telephone
trying to find places for men to
sleep, the canteen pay station re-
ceiving dozens of nickels as call
after call was made.
Mrs. Hayden S. Sears worked till
IL o'clock calling members OF the
Methodist church, who had agreed
to furnish beds, and many man
walked from the canteen to San
dalWood gladly to have a bed

- Citizens responded generously
and the MP.s did all they could to
find some place to sleep for the
; visitors.
= JUNIOR HOSTESSES
: While the canteen hostesseS are
doing a good job, the junior host
esses, those of the canteen, the Red
Cross and the Imperial Desert
CORPS also deserve bouquet
These girls serve as partners Tor
them at the dances, help entertain
them at the various parties and at
the city and church canteens, do
inc everything possible to make
the servicemenS free time pleasant.
Many of the group gave up dates
New Years Eve and when called
upon to help out at the service
mems and the officers dances, nor
was this all unadulterated pleasure,
for after all, not every man is a
Fred Astaire or a Beau Brummel.
The girls have been more than gra-
ciou,; in doing this work willingly
and pleasantly and they certainly
deserve a bit of praise, for without
their help, the Servicemen wouloii
have half such a good time.

rising out of establishment of a
taxicab stand in the 100 block OF
North st. Asaph street.

in securing authority to put the
stand there when the taxis were Or
dered off North Washington street

drivers. He claimed that proper
regulation of the cabs would mini
mlze the disturbance and stressed
the fact that the taxis are rendering
a public service and must be given
a central location in which to carry
on their business.
Willard Robey. who supervses the
stand. testified that 1900 calls were
dispatched in 24-hour period over
the last week end and stated that
he is making every effort to have
the business conducted in an orderly
fashion.
