exhibits used in all the Ma
tional Park Museums are de-
signed and prepared, so that
this in itself was an education.
In several Of the museums
visited the class was taken
"backstage" to see what makes
a museum tick" Artists were
Seen at work painting back
grounds tor new exhibits.
Taxidermists, botanists, ex-
perts of all kinds were at
work. Departments devoted to
education were a feature OF
most museums we visited.
Even rural schools were SER
weed by the use Of travelling
exhibits; small replicas Of the.
exhibits in the museum. Al
together i t was m Q s t
inspiring"
During the month of Janu-
airy oyer 700 visitors came to
the museum and were ably
handled by Miss Valmore ia
cobs, Museum Attendant, who
has done an outstanding job
since she was appointed early
in january. Her natural en-
thusiasm and method of inter
preting the exhibits has made
a good impression on most OF
the visitors. Many servicemen
from the visiting Navy ships
have registered at the mu-
scum and expressed surprise
and delight at what they have
seen.
The present show at the mu-
scum will continue until the
end Of March Those who have
loaned exhibits for the cur
rent show have been asked to
extend the loan period be-

shown by all who visit the
museum. If you have not been
to see it you are urged to do

JUDGE MARIS

Mr.. Viera had lived here for
- years; has children in
school & two on the teaching
staff Of the Department of
Education but speaks not a
word of English; this led to
the observation that his con
clusions were b a S e d on
ru1nors Of what someone else
said.
Canute A. Brodhurst, editor
Of the AVIS was called to the
stand to verify his report of
the trial. He also observed
that there was absolutely no
tension at the time except,
probably, between the friends
OF the murdered man and the
defendant; that from his OBJ
servation it appeared neither
prosecution nor d e f e e
seemed bothered about the
composition Of the jury and
W e r e satisfied, especially
since the principals in the
case had been friends.
Attorney Young showed him
self a very alert trial lawyer
in his representation.
Judge Maris gave him sixty
days in which to<file a brief
after which the District Attor-
ney will file his brief.

Watkins Hotel Splck and Span
We spent part of our vacation
at the Watkins hotel This hotel
is very nice, quiet, clean and they
serve excellent meals. Beside their
regular dining room they serve
meals in the patio which Is beauti-
full. From the patio you can look
into the beautiful Rubaiyat Cock
tail lounge. All Of these rooms are
softly lighted and quiet efficient
walters serve you and altho every
one is enjoying himself, no one
Is talking ''out loud" This Is truly
a well kept hotel. Every inch OF 1t
is cleaned every day. While we
stopped there we heard" there
were many celebrities there. We
like to think we saw some of
them in the dining room, but we
couldn't be sure. Among those who
were guests at the time we were,
are Billie Holiday The Globe
Trotters, the Dominoes, the Mills
brothers, Joe Louis and others.
We were guests Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Emerson Harris, the rest of the
time we spent in L. A. Mrs. Harris

The choir, singing under the
able leadership Of Rev. Collins
son, Rev. Collins, Jr. with an able
orgRnist at the pipe organ, Miss
Sarah Collins, daughter at the
grand piano and string orchestra
in the background, Is wonderful.
Most OF the hour is used in con-
gregational singing, a solo and a
selection or two by the choir.
Rev. Collins preached a short
but very impressive sermon and
when you left the church you
knew you had been TO church.
Rev. Collins, Jr., choir director,
has a beautimul voice. Mr.. and
Mrs. zeke Harper Of st. Paul took
US to Neighborhood church.
We also made a tour Of the
fabulous 81. Paul Baptist church.
Rev. James Bantam Is the able
speaker, Words Of mine can never
describe such a magnificent
church. Nothing was forgotten
when the church was built. There
are rooms for everything, includ-
ing a large room for the bride,
fully and very beautifully equipped
TO make any bride beautiful. We
inquired about the small room on
the other side, a little further
down. I was told, the groom just
needed room 10 pace the floor in,
that was why his room was not
a. elegantly furnished as the
brides nor as large.
As you walk in and enter the
church proper you have never seen
such beautiful carpeting and drap-
cries. other than in mansions. The
pulpit Is a dream. II Is truly a
million dollar church.
On still another day we, and Mrs.
Emerson Harris. formerly Of st.
Paul. and visited the very lovely
new building and offices of the
Los Angeles Sentinel. We were
greeted by the very gracious wife
OF the publisher and owner, Mrs.
Leon n. Washington, Jr. who is
running" the paper during her
husbands illness, The offices are
well equipped and their reception
room so large and spacious we
wondered where all Of the IS reg
ular staff members were. We soon
found out. The first private office
TO the right OF the reception room
was the booltkeeper'E The owner
and manager has a very lovely
private office and as we walked
on through the private offices we
noticed that each office was well
equipped and every one was as
neat as a pin.
In the back room, behind the
circulation offices, they had
shelves piled neatly with back
copies Of the Sentinel, their mats
and etc. Mrs, Dora Moore, busi-
ness manager, took us through
the offices. We were surprised to
see they had their own photo
dark room. She explained they took
their own pictures and developed
them and when they were needed
they had them. They do no type
