Food Pre-
For County to
Be Discussed

Representatives of all county or
CARNATIONS and industries are to
meet Thursday night 8 o'clock, in
the court house, Ell Centre, to dis
cu5s problems of food preservation
in Imperial county, and to make
plans for carrying out a food pres
ervation program.
The goal is to get information on
food preservation into every home
in Imperial Valley for, with the
rationing of many canned and dried
fooods, a great increase in home
food preservation by families is
anticipated.
Many families are not experienced
in the type of food preservation
procedure considered safe in CAL
ifornia, and it is important that
all have the correct information.
The California USDA war board
has delegated to the agricultural
extension service the responsibility
for carrying out the home food
preservation program and for that
reason the food preservation COM
mittee of the county home food
production committee has called
this county planning m e e t n g

Chinese Displays
At City Library

Two exhibits, both Chinese in
theme, arc on display this week
at the FL Centre public library,
and both are exhibits of special
interest.
Near the entrance to the library
are displayed a series of costume
designs by a decidedly talented
young high school student, Donald
Rabineau. Each of the large pic
lures has in the corner the origi-
nal authentic Chinese costume,
whose basic features were utilized
by the young artist in designing the
modern smart costume suitable for
the American woman of today. Not
only are the designs high style in
themselves, but the figures have a
life and vitality far above those
seen in the usual costume design.
Colors, lines are excellent, and
young Rabineau certainly has a def
mite flair for costume design as
evidenced in these posters.
In the class cases near the desk
are displayed Chinese objects dart
loaned to the library for the ex-
hibit - porcelains, china, jewelry,
including some nice pieces of lapis
lazuli, cloisonne, cinnabar carvings,
leather work, figures, small dolls,
embroideries, and other attractive
examples of Chinese art work. The
pieces were loaned by Mrs. Stanley
Biegelow, Mrs. Warren Currier,
Mrs. Gladys Clements, Mrs. Earle
C. Davis, Mrs. Edna Christofferson
Mrs. H. K. McCracken, and the
Imperial Hardware Co.

It was generally known thai

niece, Ann Harrington.
1 But when Ann came to claim
sIefqaflce House she was not le-
gally entitled to the property be
cause Grand Gussie, as her grand
another was known. apparently
left no will. AT any rate, the will
could not be found.
So. when handsome young
Lieut.. Jerry Lane bobbed up as
the nearest blood relative and
claimed Torrance House through
a shady lawyer. Ann found herself
enmeshed in chain of circum-
stances which make LOSER
TAKE ALL one of the top-fhght
romantic serials of the season.
There were lot of people much
too interested in Torrance House
to suit Ann, all of whom had their
reasons. There was Baxton, Jerry
Lanes lawyer; DIR. Renfrow, the
resort physician, and Sarah, pref
ty mink of a nurse who was cold
toward Armand warm toward
Jerry Lane. In fact, everybody
wanted Torrance House except
Lieut.. Lane, who, nevertheless,
was behaving very strangely.

STATEMENT MADE sBY PRIME
MINISTER CURTIN OF
AUSTRALIA
tBy Associated Press,

MELBOURNE, June 18.-Prime
Minister Curtin in his second
statement in four days about the
dwindling Japanese power in the
Australian theatre, declared today
that the Japs are definitely on
the "skids."
Vast changes have taken place.
he said, since his earlier state
ments about the Japanese strength
and the likelihood that they would
invade Australia. He asserted to-
day that since that time the Japs,
unable to fully replace their great
losses, have continued to grow
weaker and weaker.
That condition is particularly
true of their air and sea power. He
mentioned the destruction of n
planes yesterday to a loss of only
six American aircraft as good in
dication of the Japs' inability to
cope with the Allies in the air.
1t was reported today that,
when the Japs lost their n planes
out of flight of 100, their object
was not to raid Henderson Air
field on Guadalcanal, but to attack
shipping in the harbor there.
They succeeded in dropping one
bomb squarely on an Allied ship
and in slightly damaging another

tendent of public instruction In
Monroe county,"
That question was asked a Key
Wester who is familiar with the
school laws of Florida, and he UNI
hesitatingly. asserted:
That question will be decided
by Governor Holland. While he
has nothing whatever TO do with
the election of a deputy superinr
tendent, yet the commission is is
sued by the governor, and if he
decides Willard M. Albury was
duly elected Monday afternoon,
the commission will be given to
him: otherwise, the commission
will be issued to William w. De-
merritt.
The governor is all-powerful
in that respect. He can give or re-
f1se to give a commission as he
chooses. not only in this particular
instance, but also in good many
other specified offices"
Details of yesterdays election
could not be given in The Citizen
because, when William w. De-
merritt was elected, the paper was
on the point of going to press. All
forms. except the first page, was
already on the press, and, within

GIVEN CHANCE
TO FINISH STUDIES
OFFERED TO YOUTHS WHO
ENTER COAST GUARD
SERVICE

School bells will not ring-but
it's Reading Riting-and 'Rith-
metic'' again for Coast Guards
men under a program of the Arm
ed Forces Institute.
The program announced by
Gunner H. A. Vessel, district re-
cruiting officer, is primarily de-
signed to give II year olds who
have not graduated a chance to
finish their high school education
after enlisting in the Coast Guard.
For many years the Coast Guard
has conducted a wide educationl
program in scores of specialties
for the purpose of increasing the
fighting efficiency of its officers
and men.
In the interest of the wartime
Coast Guard personnel it has now
been deemed advisable to supple
ment the training program by a
broad educational opportunity for
use by the student, at his own
convenience, on his own time,
and wherever he may be station
ed, so he may round out his high
school or college education.
The long term effect of the new
program will be for the benefit of
the student The immediate effect
will be his development as a
greater asset to the war effort.
Through the Institute enlisted
personnel are enabled to begin or
continue by correspondence, with
the possibility of obtaining credit
toward certificates or degrees,
this educational prograns, embrac-.
ing well over 700 courses, draw
ing upon the sedue8tpual rsre-
sources Of over 10 heading Amer
