Life Among Southern Mountain People Is Vividly Described By Speaker at Ebell Husbands' Night "If you want to open the gates of your knowledge to the mountain people, you must be ready to enter their gates of knowledge too," admonished Donoho Hall Monday night, when he brought one of the most unusual and entertaining programs to Ebell members that they have ever been privileged to share with their guests. The occasion was the annual Husband's Night dinner served in the clubhouse by Mrs. Thomas Kirven and Mrs. M. C. Mason. Every detail of the evening attained the same success as the program features. A tempting dinner menu was served at tables whose low bowls of narcissus blossoms were linked together by tendrils of green ivy. An enjoyable program of dinner music was played by the High School ensemble under direction of William Cook. Cordial welcome was expressed by Mrs. Cortez Hoskins, president, before she turned the meeting over to Mrs. Paul Demaree, program chairman. The latter announced as prelude to the address, a one-act play by the Workshop group of the high school drama department, under direction of Miss Natalie Street. Miss Street may well have felt pride in a clever cast composed of Helen Tryon, Colleen Outland, Max Noller, John Monroe and Jim Wright, presenting the sparkling little home comedy. For added pleasure Max Noller and Jim Wright did an excellent bit of pantomine. Before Donoho Hall launched into his tale of the mountaineers of his native Tennessee, he presented James Dodd, a brother Tennessee in a series of delightful late at Occidental College of which he is an alumus. His account of his people—of unadulterated Anglo-Saxon blood, speaking the purest Elizabethan English known in the world today—was dramatic through its very simplicity. Because of his own knowledge, and the many intimate details of his own personal life, the talk carried added weight. He described the deep religious reverence, the hill-sheltered life, the reasons and prevalence of "feudin';" the distrust of the outsider, even physicians and nurses, and finally the all-abiding hunger of the children for books and education. The speaker was technical advisor for the filming of "Sergeant York," and coached Gary Cooper and the cast in the mountain speech which adds so greatly to the veracity of the famous picture. In telling (very modestly) of this, he took opportunity to decry the exclusion of so many young mountaineers from the armed forces because of their illiteracy. The need of teachers, the need of books, and above all the need of understanding and a sympathetic approach were only a few of the thoughts which he left with a deeply attentive audience. Mrs. Mitchell Made New Chaplain Of WRC Federation When Federation No. 1, Women's Relief Corps, installed new officers at its latest meeting in Santa Ana, Mrs. Mary E. Mitchell, 717 South Los Angeles street, was installed as chaplain, to serve with the new staff headed by Mrs. Ethel Echols of Garden Grove, president. Mrs. Estelle Gray of Santa Ana, founder of the federation and its first president, acted as installing officer and also took over the duties of federation musician for the year. The new staff includes also Mesdames Verna Fish, Westminster, and May Delacour, Buena Park, senior and junior vice-presidents; Hazel Strupp, La Habra, treasurer; Elizabeth Baldwin, Garden Grove, secretary; Florence Merriman, Orange, corresponding secretary.

For added pleasure Max Noller and Jim Wright did an excellent bit of pantomine. Before Donoho Hall launched into his tale of the mountaineers of his native Tennessee, he presented James Dodd, a brother Tennesseean, in a series of delightful mountain folk songs, some of his own composition, and all sung to his own guitar accompaniment. They set the key for the fascinating talk which followed, with its skillful blending of humor and pathos. For Hall, himself a mountainer, ran away from home in his early youth (an experience vividly described) to seek "book larnin'." His wanderings brought him to California, where he secured sufficient foundation to matriculate. Red Cross Drive Opens March 1 Announcing the annual Red Cross drive to begin Monday, March 1, E. J.

For years, Americans have been the world's most active telephone users. To maintain and steadily enlarge the Nation's network of Long Distance lines calls for huge amounts of metals and other materials. Now those materials have gone to war. For "the duration," the telephone network must get along with about what it has. The soldier with his portable telephone in Africa, the marine with his rifle in the Solomons, the pilot over the Aleutians, need copper, steel and other things—need them more than their fellow-Americans do at home. Because more telephone lines cannot be built at this time, we make this request: To the places that are busy with war work, please make only Long Distance calls that are vital. For your understanding and continued aid—our thanks!
