A lovely wedding OF interest to

Christian Church when Miss Nadine
Abel, daughter of Mrs. Matte c.
Abel, became the bride of Sergeant
Clayton r. Baxley, son of Mr.. and

ON THE FRONT
IN THE VALLEY
RED CROSS ABROAD

Work of the American Red Cross
in the Obi China Burma India
area is described in a new publica-
ton, the ARC Light, put out by the
Red Cross in the Obi theatre.
Published June /, the magazine is
full of interesting descriptions of
Red Cross work and also of humor,
q heartfelt article on how to be a
Red Cross director being contributed
by one in answer to the many COM
plants and suggestions that have
come his way.
The publication was sent to Mrs.
Lottie Meagher, executive secretary
for the El Centro chapter by Mark
A. Tomas, now stationed in that
area anG formerly with the Pacific
area.
Imperial Valley has its hot days
but the Red Cross recreation GEN.
ters in India operate ali summer
with the thrmometer ranging from
1l2-l25 and in addition, the damp
weather makes leather mildew and
mould, causes wood to warp, and
then there are the termites, ants,
and insects which add to the joys
of life. In Assam, for six months
period the rainfall is 450-500 inches
and American troops are living in
houses 8-18 feet above ground.
In a 60 days period the American
Red Cross has completed 70 new
recreation projects - five service
clubs, 70 recreation centers and
three leave centers, making a total
of 104 operating in the Obi area.
Due to lack of transportation the
on-post clubs are proving the most
popular and the answer to recrea-
ton problems Of the enlisted man.
Lack OF transportation also makes
the supplying of these centers diff
ficult as aside from the fact that it
is difficult to ship supplies TO them
there are few supplies since it is
equally difficult to ship raw ma
terials to manufacturing centers
unless they are military products.
In the Himalayas the Red Cross
has, in cooperation with the British,
established two rest camps for
American troops where they may
have brief vacations.
In China this spring the Red
Cross shipped IL tons of medical
supplies, saving the lives Of thou
sands of Chinese, both civilians and
soldiers.
On July in China the Red Cross
will open the new service club
which is known as the costliest
service club in the world-the piano
cost 100000, and was only second
hand at that but the 100000 Is
Chinese money, not American.

Frances Conners, J. l.. Travers
Wed in Long Beach Ceremony

Later in the day Mr.. Travers'
daughter, Mrs. Ruth Kier, was unit
ed in marriage to Gridley Wright of
Erie, Pa, at the Davis home with
the Rev. Mr.. Strong officiating.
Following the two ceremonies the
wedding parties had dinner at the
Pacific Coast club.
After spending the summer in
the mountains, Mr.. and Mrs. Trav-
ers will make their home in Ell Cen
trC.
LONGEST RESIDENCE
Mr.. Travers, who maintained the
longest consecutive residence in Ell
Centro, is one of the early settlers
and real builders of Imperial VAL
ley. He first came to the city in
1905 and built the Ell Centre hotel
building at the corner Of Fifth and
Main streets. A list of the build
ings put up by Mr.. Travers in FL
Centro would read almost like city
directory.
Always prominent in city affairs,
he has been a director or member of
the Chamber of Commerce since
its inception.
He served as city trustee for two
terms and is a member of several
civic clubs and fraternal organiza-
tionS. One time president of the
Imperial Valley Building and Loan
association, Mr. Travers now is a
member of its board of directors.
Mrs. Travers, who has been a resi-
dent of the city for many years,
was employed at Kings prior to her
marriage She is a sister of Mrs.
