credit to the Club for arranging
such a varied program. Members of
the audience were also filling out
their reservation orders for next

announcement by Malcolm Macur-
Ga, president.
Miss Enters, who was accompan-
led at the piano by Howard Coombs,
opened her program with "Ameri-
can Ballet" a composition of ball
room dances Of the last World War,
a selection which brought back
memories to many in the audience.
Another nostalgia composition for
many was piano Music No. A., in
which Miss Enters was a girl play

men5 exercises. The universal appeal
Of this could not be overlooked.
Proving to be a capable satirist
and an outstanding pantomimist,
Miss Enters showed amazing grace
for her size in her program made
up more of skits than dances.
One of the most talked about Sc
lections was THE Boy Cardinal
in which the dancer was the cyni-
cal prelate, yet still a child and
creature of moods. An entirely diff
ferent atmosphere was created for
Queen CT Heaven, which gave her
an excellent opportunity to use her
hands, the movements of which are
one of the outstanding features of
her work.
Field Day, which was a last
minute substitution, also was en-
Enthusiastically received by the aud

ter, Miss Enters produced a comic
futuristic painting, which was pre-
sentec at the close of the sequence
to Mrs. Eugene Waterman.

April will be United National
Clothing collection month in Ell
Centro, sponsored by tie Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs. During the Pc
riod efforts will be made to gather
good used clothing for free dis
tribution to needy destitute men,
women and children in wa 1evas-
tated countries. The quota Tor El
Centro will be 10000 pounds, it was
announced tuesday by w. c. Du-
flock, chairman of the committee in
charge of the drive.
Outlook stressed that what is
needed is good substantial clothing
and summer wear. Clothing need
not be in perfect repair, he said, but
it must be useful to the people WHO
will receive it. Underclothing and
all types of cotton garments should
be washed before they are donated,
but need not be ironed. 1t was ex-
planned that evening dresses, dinner
jackets and dress suits cannot be
used.
Most urgently needed, Outlook set
out, are infants garments, boys and
girls garments, caps and knitted
headwear, bedding, shoes, usable
remnants and piece goods.
Clothing may be deposited either
at the Robertson-Duringer show
rooms, Seventh and Main streets
or at the fire station. The show
rooms will be open from 8 $50 a. m
until $50 p M, but the fire station
will receive bundles at any hour OF
the day or night.
