North Africa Provides Fertile Subject For Talk Which Student of Area Addressed to Ebell Section and Guests North Africa, a land which he has never visited save between the covers of a book, is as familiar to Anaheim's postmaster, Louis H. Hoskins, as are the hills and valleys of his own Orange county, a fact which he made apparent Monday to Ebell Book section members and their guests. It was a special occasion for the section in more ways than one, for in addition to a program of educational value and timely interest, it was a cordial welcome to Ebell club's new members, received during the current year. So Mrs. R. M. Glover and Mrs. Charles A. Hunt, leader and assistant leader of the section, planned it as a covered dish luncheon in which the general membership joined with enthusiasm. Providing a literary flavor to the luncheon, Mrs. H. D. Newkirk reviewed William Saroyan's "Human Comedy," dwelling upon its philosophy and characteristics which show Saroyan's ripening powers. When Mrs. Glover later presented Mr. Hoskins as guest speaker members were given a clear picture of a land which is the present scene of one of the greatest campaigns of World War After telling how his interest in North Africa began some 15 years ago he dwelt upon the historical significance of the ancient ruins, as remarkable as anything of the immense palace built by Sultan Moulay Ismail in copy of the Palace of Versailles, and its extensive stables and water conduits for the fine Arabian horses of the sultan. Ancient Roman ruins in Morocco came in for their share of attention when the speaker described the land under Roman dominion. But even more interesting were the amazing cities near where American troops are now in action. Bled Kebira, near the Medenine-Gabes, road so prominent in news releases, is all of underground construction, while neighboring cities above ground, show a unique honeycomb construction which was described in detail, including the Moroccan version of a "Yale key" to baffle marauders. Algerian towns and their merchants, bankers and tradesmen; the strange desert tribesmen; Moorish palaces of ancient robber barons; bearing olive groves many centuries old; Carthaginian aquifer speakers were given a clear picture of a land which is the present scene of one of the greatest campaigns of World War Variety was keynote Tuesday of Horace Mann P.T.A. in the school auditorium, where interest veered from the day's program features, to anticipation of gardening events to come. Mrs. John P. Mary, president, had delegated program details to Mrs. E. T. Bradley, whose plans were presented by Mrs. Kenneth Figgins, in Mrs. Bradley's unavoidable absence. Small second graders led the Flag salute, and later presented a clever playlet, "What Safety Means to Our Flag," under direction of their teacher, Miss Betty Coleston. Continuing the safety theme, W. H. Bonney, Fremont school principal, showed motion pictures illustrating safety rules for young bicyclists. The remainder of the program was given over to plans for the childrens' Victory Garden campaign, outlined by Mrs. Richard Roehm, chairman. She stated that Rudolph Boysen, city park superintendent had agreed to give weekly inspection of the gardens, and had helped set up contest standards. For instance in a minimum size plot, 10 by 10 feet may be grown beet, carrots, turnips and lettuce; or corn, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, cucumbers and peanuts, all capable of being easily grown by young people. However rules have been extended to family plots, so that youthful entrants may have their parents or older Three Retail Yards Anaheim-Fullerton-Placentia DELIVERY OF Building Materials Limited Truck Mileage, causes us to ask for your help.

GIBBS LUMBER CO. Algerian towns and their merchants, bankers and tradesmen; the strange desert tribesmen; Moorish palaces of ancient robber barons; bearing olive groves many centuries old; Carthaginian aqueducts and cisterns for water storage; Roman roads whose rutted surface was basis of the modern standard gauge railway systems, were a few of the subjects touched upon in a memorable talk, marked by flashes of humor. Nor did Mr. Hoskins confine himself solely to the past. He described weather cycles which have produced the current wet winter so dismaying to American troops; valuable iron ore and phosphate deposits; the fertile acres of Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco in news releases, is all of underground construction, while neighboring cities above ground, show a unique honeycomb construction which was described in detail, including the Moroccan version of a "Yale key" to baffle marauders. Mesdames Kenneth Figgins, Victor Ruedy and Richard Roehm (chairman) will form the advisory committee and will mark scores based on cultivation, irrigation and pest control. Prize awards will be made at the Garden Fair with which Horace Mann school will crown the spring contest. Mesdames Cortez Hoskins, Carl Lemcke and Frank Mattox will form the prize committee. A talk by Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg was inspiring to the young gardeners, who gained much information both from the talk and from colored slides which he showed. Mrs. Harold Harling, nominating committee chairman, presented the list of new officers to be installed in April. They include Mrs. J. A. LouKota, president; Mrs. Richard Roehm, vice-president; Mrs. Kenneth Figgins, secretary; Mrs. Henry Schneider, treasurer; Mrs. Homer Wallace, historian, and Mrs. Carl Lemcke, auditor. Mesdames Milton Sell, Kent Garner and Lawrence Mills, sixth grade room mothers, were hostesses at the tea hour when Mrs. Mary and Mrs. LouKota were asked to preside at a beautifully arranged table. Mrs. Sell had planned the vernal effect, using iris shading from pale mauve to royal purple, soaring from a bowl in the same amethyst. Even the napkins and little iced cakes followed the color design. oco with their great vineyards, their grain fields and sheep ranges. Ebell programs are ended for March. On Monday, April 5, Lorette Hurley will present her original character sketches.

High School Auditorium To Be Scene Of Special Recognition Program Given Sunday Night By Girl Reserves Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunt, cousins and friends of Mann Reserves have been included in the sweeping invitation extended that active group of young girls and their leaders, to the main event of the Girl Reserve year, a special Recognition Service. This service, for which plans have long been in preparation, will be held Sunday evening at 8 o'clock in Union high school auditorium. It will feature songs, choruses, the "White Friendship gift" and pageantry with dozens of girls taking part. The "White Friendship gift" will be a part of the processional in which each girl will present her offering of some carefully repaired article of clothing, tied with Girl Reserve blue ribbons, to go to some other young girl who is a refugee, a flood sufferer, or in need through some similar disaster. As the gifts are presented, Shirley Harling will explain the plan of their distribution through the Society of Friends. This processional will be to the accompaniment of the Hymn of Lights and will be followed by invocation by the Rev. Thomas L. Burden, with the audience joining in the hymn, "In Christ There Is No East Or West."

Baggott Home Departing Monday for Berkeley, Richard Baggott and his charming young bride completed a pleasant week-end visit in the home of his parents, the L. W. Baggotts of South Los Angeles street, their first trip to the Southland since their early autumn marriage. The new Mrs. Baggott was Miss Marie Pirtle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Pirtle of Brooklyn, N.Y. She is a graduate of University of California at Berkeley, as is Mr. Baggott, and theirs was one of those delightful campus romances. Their October wedding followed the bride's summer visit with her parents back in Brooklyn and a week on the homeward trip, spent here in her fiance's home. Richard Baggott entered Berkeley after his graduation from Union high school, and majored in bio-chemistry. He affiliated with Alpha Chi Sigma fraternity. Enlisting with the Navy in December he has since been stationed on Treasure Island as radio technician, but is now awaiting call to an eastern university for advanced training. When that call comes, Mrs. Baggott plans to return to Anaheim to remain with her husband's parents until the young people know definitely where Mr. Baggott will be stationed. She majored in physical education at Berkeley, and is a member of Pi Lambda Theta, national honorary educational fraternity. Announcement Made Of Betrothal To Sorority Group Announcement Made Of Betrothal To Sorority Group Of much interest to friends in this city, was recent announcement of the engagement of Miss Ruth-marie Launer, daughter of the Nelson Launers of La Habra, and Dr. Charles O. Gruber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Addison C. Gruber of Fullerton. The romantic news was disclosed first to Miss Launer’s sorority sisters in Alpha Gamma Delta.

Navy, so no plans for the wedding are being revealed. California Faces No Bread Line State Controller Harry B. Riley has reported that California’s state finances, already in the best condition in history are continuing to improve. He said that the state ended February with a general fund cash exces of $79,380,-746 and was better off by $88,-130,439 than it was a year ago when a deficiency of $8,749,693 existed.

The Southern California Edison Company proudly salutes Southern California's double duty war workers—the men and women of the Aircraft Warning Service. In fair weather and foul, each minute of every hour of the day and night, these loyal civilian volunteers have manned their observation posts. Many of them are engaged in vital war production work on farm or in factory, and give a part of each day or night to this important task of constantly scanning the skies for unfriendly planes. They are the double duty war workers—serving their country well! Since 1:45 p.m., December 7, 1941 An aircraft warning post near Saugus is manned entirely by Edison people. Organized for the war maneuvers planned for December, 1941, the post was activated with the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The post has been cited for meritorious service by the United States Army Air Forces, Fourth Fighter Command. Edison is proud of its double duty war workers. The S2R Store 36th.
