College Class to Present Folk Play “Green Grow the Lilacs” Will Be Offered by Sophomores Tomorrow “Green Grow the Lilacs,” a folk play with an early western setting, will be the annual Fullerton junior college sophomore class presentation to be given tomorrow at 8:15 p.m. Written by Lynn Riggs, the play centers around Oklahoma in the early 1900's and presents a simple love story in a lusty and robust form with plenty of laughter, dancing, and various old time western songs including such favorites as “Home on the Range,” “Little Brass Wagon,” and the title song, “Green Grow the Lilacs.” Major parts have been assigned to Don Krueger as Curly McClain, principal cowboy singer; Betty Lou Sauer as Laurey Williams, and Jean Craddock as Aunt Eller Murphy. Other leading roles are taken by Dan Drakulich, who portrays the villian, Jester Fry; Betty Jean Riley as Ado Annie Carnes; Jack Farmer as a peddler; Gordon Gibb as Old Man Peck; Arthur Tracy as Shorty; Phyllis Gunby as Lizzie, and Gene Needham as Cord Elam. Due to two crowd scenes, one of which is an entertainment packed “haydown” party, the cast is unusually large for a school production and will utilize some 35 or more students. The stage sets constitute one of the highlights of the show since the script calls for five different scenes, a front room in a farm house, a country girl's bedroom, a smoke house, a party scene on a front porch, and a hayfield. Certificates Given Ten Class Members Certificates of completion of a course in Home hygiene and care of the sick were awarded to 10 women last Thursday during an informal tea held at the high school cafeteria. The certificates were awarded by Mrs. Julia M. Salisbury, vice chairman of the home hygiene committee for the Anaheim Red Cross chapter. Those receiving the awards were Mrs. Nell L. Axup, Mrs. Avis Ellictt, Mrs. Marguerite Feraud, Mrs. Gertrude Freeman, Mrs. Juanita I. Hawkins, Mrs. Beulah C. Harling, and Mrs. Helen W. Saulsberry of Anaheim, and Mrs. Sally Boege of Fullerton.

During these 11 months, a total of 252,040 SRA cases were closed, it was found. Third Checks on Motorists Held Anaheim Officers Take Part in Blockage Last Friday Night Anaheim area again figures minently in a traffic "blitz" when 19 peace officers were stationed at three locations so town during last Friday check-up. Official reports that three asserted drunk drivers were arrested during the event at the Anaheim locations, an additional two were taken custody in other parts of county. The local blockades were published on Manchester boulevard Haster road, Manchester and highway, and Katella road and highway. Those reported arrests were Robert O. Murphy, 31; N. Emily St., Anaheim Frie Kelly, 45; Santa Ana and Millie Logue, 37, of La Ha. Officers from city police departments of the county, the sheriff office and the California highway patrol engaged in the checkup. A total of 2351 motorists were stopped for inspection; 66 persons arrested, including drunk drivers, and warning ets given 46 other motorists. According to a statistical of arrests and warnings, co-operating Sgt. George Peterkin of highway patrol, 500 cars stopped at Laguna Beach, Spadra road in Fullerton; Manchester near Haster; Manchester and 101, 850 and Katella, and 83 in Santa Ana. Due to two crowd scenes, one of which is an entertainment packed "haydown" party, the cast is unusually large for a school production and will utilize some 35 or more students. The stage sets constitute one of the highlights of the show since the script calls for five different scenes, a front room in a farm house, a country girl's bedroom, a smoke house, a party scene on a front porch, and a hayfield. The sets, each built on casters for quick changes of scenery, were designed by Ted Rutherford and constructed by the stagecraft department under the supervision of Earl S. Dysinger, stage manager. Direction of the performance lies in the experienced hands of Mrs. Esther C. Litchfield. Others on the production staff include Earl Dysinger, production manager, Ralph Holmes, director of music, and Florence Randall, director of dance. Demonstration for Peace Scheduled St. Boniface Catholic church of Anaheim is expected to send a large delegation of members of the Holy Name society to a public demonstration invoking Almighty God to grant peace to the warring nations and restore justice and Christian concord among all peoples next Sunday morning in Los Angeles, according to W. J. Lake. Sunday at 8 a.m. the men will offer mass and communion in a body in the mother church of the archiocese, St. Vibinia's cathedral, Los Angeles, and later march in solemn procession to Biltmore hotel Bowl where the annual breakfast meeting will be held.

The SRA case load in the county decreased from 3,070 during January, 1940 to 668 in November, the association found. Throughout the state the SRA case load dropped 65 pe cent between January and November, going from 121,945 to 42,761, the association stated. During these 11 months, a total of 252,040 SRA cases were closed, it was found. It should be borne in mind, the association pointed out, that a case may mean one person for one day only or for an indefinite period of time, and that many cases may have been opened and closed more than once during the 11 months, each time they stopped receiving SRA relief being considered as a case closed. Of the 252,000 cases closed, 58,000 obtained private employment, 104,000 were transferred to WPA, 5,000 to county aid, 2,500 to other assistance agencies, 7,000 obtained unemployment compensation benefits, 1,200 were aided by realtives or friends, 3,700 returned to their legal residence, 33,000 left of their own accord, 10,000 refused to cooperate 10,000 failed to reappear or to recertify, and 18,000 left for other reasons. With all these closing, the association repeated, the case load in January was 121,945 and in November it was 42,761. Despite these reductions, net relief extended under the SRA amounted to $1,359,265 during November.
