Mrs. Stanley Boardman, Finance chairman of the Bradford venue Parent-Teacher's Association, called a meeting last Thursday morning at the school to announce plans for the annual rag drive sponsored by the PTA. The drive will begin Nov. 2 and will end Nov. 6. Discarded clothing, wearable or not, cotton or News Notes From Placentia Area WILMA STAYNER TELEPHONE — 897 RAGS! ANY RAGS TODAY? Mrs. Stanley Boardman, Finance chairman of the Bradford venue Parent-Teacher's Association, called a meeting last Thursday morning at the school to announce plans for the annual rag drive sponsored by the PTA. The drive will begin Nov. 2 and will end Nov. 6. Discarded clothing, wearable or not, cotton or wool rags, are urgently needed. Wearable clothing will be redistributed to those who are in need of it, as the Association receives from the salvage company free-of charge clothing for welfare work. Cotton is processed into wiping rags, wool into clothing, blankets etc., and scraps into various grades of paper, so this is an excellent opportunity to clean out that old sewing drawer, the garage, attic or basement. On Nov. 2 bags will be distributed to the children at school to take home for the convenience of their parents. Mrs. Boardman has urgently requested that these bags be returned to the school before the Nov. 6. The salvage companies furnish the bags free of charge, but we are penalized for all not returned, so full or not, please see that they are returned to school. Let your discarded clothing orrags get into circulation again and help your PTA raise funds for its child welfare program! Committee members attending the meeting in addition to the chairman, Mrs. Boardman, were Mrs. Gladys Klostad, principal of Bradford Avenue school, Mrs. Olen Neal, PTA president, Mrs. Charles Comstock, Mrs. Harold Ries, Mrs. Ralph Beatty, Mrs. Normair Christensen and Mrs. Clarence Stayner. The ladies of the various churches in Placentia were guests of the Presbyterian ladies last Thursday for a delightful luncheon and program. Guests were seated at tables decorated to portray different countries—Hawaii, United States, Holland, Japan, and others. Mrs. C. A. Cuff, president of the Presbyterian women's group, extended a very gracious welcome to the guests. Mrs. Ernest Beck gave the devotions. The program chairman, Mrs. William Suiter, Jr., presented Myrtle Weatherwax, accompanied by Emma Murphy, who sang "By the Waters of the Minnetonka" and "Hold Thou My Hand." Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Koch—she had been a Lutheran deaconess at the Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona—were then introduced. Koch entertained the audience by playing two violin solos, "Indian Dance" and "Crown of Gold." He was accompanied by his wife. Mrs. Koch dressed in an Apache Indian costume, held her audience spellbound while she recounted their dian Reservation in Arizona. She stated there are 6,000 Apache Indians on reservations and this tribe is the most primitive, still living in tee-pees in camps. There is no floor and they build a fireplace in the center, so the camp children who attended the Indian school always "smelled like smoked sausages," Mrs. Koch said. In 1892, according to the speaker, two Lutheran missionaries from Milwaukee traveled west to minister to the Indians. The first tribes they found were the Navajo, but they were already being served by other missionaries. These two men then themed the Apaches, but they had lost confidence in white men and it was some time before they were convinced the missionaries had not come to take advantage of them: At the present time there are about twelve missionaries and four schools located on the reservation. The camps are scattered along rivers to facilitate carrying water and many children walk to and from the boarding schools. The schools have facilities for bathing the camp children once or twice a week. Some of the children live at the school. Mrs. Koch had a tiny replica of the cradle which Indian mothers still use to carry their papooses on their backs. There still exists the barbaric custom of twin-killing. If both babies are boys, the weaker is disposed of or if one is a girl, they keep the boy. Tuberculosis is very prevalent, which may be traced back to their primitive way of living, cold floors, etc. One winter there were fourteen snow falls and many times the weather is below zero. Much progress is being made, however, as now most of the babies are born in hospitals and the government pays for the medical, dental and education of the Apaches. However, said Mrs. Koch, the mission schools do not receive help from the government. Many mothers die during childbirth, so many babies are brought into the mission where they are kept for about two years and then returned, if possible, to its relatives. By that time it has a much better chance of survival. The infant mortality rate is very high, which was shown in a photograph Mrs. Koch had taken of a cemetery where there were many cradles placed on Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thomas son, Gary, Mrs. Dolly Norwood, grandmother of Gary, and her husband, Ralph. Several members of the Busy B Rebekah Lodge were guests of the Rebekah Lodge of Arteda Frid evening. President of the Rebekah Assembly, Rose E.

Among the many problems that he cited which face the five man Orange County Board of Supervisors regularly, he stated that flood control is one of their outstanding problems. This is understandably true, as the many new tracts of homes create new flood problems every year, as a flooded field one year, injuring nothing, might be an entire tract of homes the next year flooding many families. This growth is indicated by the census figures of recent years. The 1950 Federal Census credited Orange County with 216,000 persons and the 1953 figure, based on some local census figures by a few Orange County cities is estimated at 275,000. Yet, the Gas Tax Fund money which is returned each year to the various counties from the state and is based on population, granted Orange county a return based on a population of 283,000. The usual splendid turnout of members afforded the opportunity to make complete committee ports on the many Exchange Projects underway.

Resembling a series of gigantic red and tan draperies hanging from the sky, this colorful formation is one of the most unusual sights of the Mojave Desert. It is located close to the highway about 25 miles north of the town of Mojave and frequently used as a setting by motion picture companies. Another important landmark—but one you seldom see—is the vast underground network of pipelines that carry plentiful, low-cost natural gas to all 13 Southern California counties. Natural GAS is cheap in Southern California IF YOU ASK visitors what they consider spectacular about Southern California they'll name scenery, climate, and in Southern California IF YOU ASK visitors what they consider spectacular about Southern California, they'll name scenery, climate—and in almost the same breath—the comfort and convenience of our homes. "Your houses are so clean," they say, "so easy to keep up...so economical to run!" Natural gas is one reason why Southern Californians live better. It is used in nearly every home here for cooking, water heating and house heating. Thousands also use this clean, dependable fuel for silent refrigeration and automatic clothes drying. And residents here spend less for all this comfort and convenience because domestic gas rates for all classes of service are below the national average. Another thing visitors envy about our homes is the quality of our gas appliances. For example, the number of fully automatic gas ranges in use in Southern California is far higher than in any other section of the United States. If your present range is dated in appearance and performance, why not see the displays at dealers or your Gas Company? The new automatic gas ranges are the best looking and best cooking ever made. ON THE AVERAGE about 1$ worth of GAS will bake 1½ dozen baking powder biscuits OR heat the water for 1 deep hot bath SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY.
