A lumber and hardware store in

furnishings for the canteen. A local
banker donated radio. Mr..
Thompkins of the doughnut cor
poration is installing a machine
having a 40 dozen per hour ca
pacity, without cost. After partak-
ing of delicious lunch, easy chairs
and magazines are available for a
few moments relaxation. The visit
ing service men and women express
surprise at finding such a complete
and well furnished canteen here on
the desert. The people who have
had a part in making this venture
possible would take much pride in
their contributions if they would
come out and see the use being
made of their generosity.
Mrs. Vensel, as chairman of the
canteen committee and her able
co-workers have done a magnifi-
cent job. She is also President of
the American Legion Auxiliary and
is in charge of the Red Cross sew
ing room which is operated on this

two benevolent projects in opera
ton, the Red Cross ladies have the
assurances of all concerned that
their efforts and work are not in

and that no greater contributions
could be made to service men and
