Wife of Navy Chaplain Gives Account Of Manifold Duties Which Fall Upon Spiritual Leaders of Army-Navy To members of Ebell Bible section and many guests was given a new understanding of the duties and responsibilities of that great body of chaplains serving the nation's military forces, when Mrs. T. C. Miller, recently of Honolulu, was presented Monday as guest speaker. For Mrs. Miller, introduced by Mrs. Fred Weisel, section leader, is an evacuee from Honolulu where her husband is district chaplain. As a Navy wife, she has complete knowledge of the wide ramifications of the work of a chaplain at mainland and island bases and abroad ship. Any concepts that may have been entertained that a chaplain's duties were limited to his regular sermons were soon corrected. For her talk showed that he is councillor and advisor to men in the service; he directs reading and study classes, recreations, and their many entertainment programs. He aids even in solving housing problems for helpless little service families, and must aid in meeting the manifold needs of youth—absent from home perhaps for the first time—and be prepared to serve as "guide, philosopher and friend." Sectarianism never enters into a chaplain's duties, Mrs. Miller explained. Chaplains of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish denominations work together for a common cause, the brotherhood of man, and cooperate to bring aid, comfort and spiritual help to their men. She told of the increase in spiritual interest among men of the Navy, describing their voluntary formation of Bible study groups and their equally voluntary attendance at religious services. USC Student Reveals Plans to Wed Army Officer in June Formal announcement has been made by Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Boney, 841 North Clementine street, of the betrothal of their daughter, Miss Bette Ruth Boney, and Capt. Marion Mellette, whose parents live in Sumpter, So. Car. Miss Boney who is a freshman student at USC, and her fiance both arrived Saturday at the Boney home expecting to enjoy a week-end visit here. But Capt. Mellette was recalled to his duties with the Tank Artillery Corps, now on desert maneuvers near Palm Springs, and had to cut his Anaheim visit short. It is possible that he may be able to spend the coming week-end here unless exactions of military life interfere once more. There are indications that desert maneuvers may take the Corps into Arizona. A graduate of Union high school, Miss Boney is majoring in merchandising at USC where she will continue her studies after the wedding which at present is planned as an event of June. She is affiliated with Gamma Phi Beta sorority, to whose members the engagement announcement will be made in traditional fashion with the passing a box of chocolates. Youthful Musicians Presented in Delightful Recital Scores of music lovers congregated Sunday afternoon in Ebell clubhouse to share a delightful "Hour of Music" in response to invitations issued by Ramona M. Holme, well-known music teacher of the north Orange county area and prominent member of Orange County Musical Arts club. Mrs. Holme presented three gifted pupils, all high school sophomores. They were Miss Roberta Norland, violinist, of Union high school in this city; Miss Arlene Kennon and Paul Ross of Fullerton high school, pianists. All played with such youthful spontaneity and musicianship that they won the plaudits of an appreciative audience, and fully justified Mrs. Holme's expectations. Miss Kennon opened the program with a piano group, playing Reinhold's "Impromptu" and the beautiful "Kamennoi Ostrow" of Rubenstein. In a later piano group she played Greig's "March of the Dwarfs" and "Rondo Capriccioso" by Mendelssohn. While piano numbers were varied, yet greater variety was offered by Miss Norland's violin solos. She played three selections in her single appearance, choosing "Legende" by Bohm, "Bolero" by Burleigh and dthe sparkling Lehar-Kreisler arrangement of "Frasquita." She showed a fine bowing technique an dthe same musicianship that was displayed by the piano artists. Paul Ross chose as his first group "Invention" by Bach: Two Sisters Enjoy Greeting Friends At Surprise Party Easter colors and Easter joys made a happy party for a group of school friends Saturday evening when Mrs. C. R. Hokanson, 844 North Clementine street, carried out a successful surprise for her two young daughters, the Misses Helen and June Hokanson. A group of their classmates in fifth and sixth grades of Horace Mann school had been invited to share the party gayety, and kept the secret so successfully that the arrival took the two honorees by complete surprise. After a succession of lively games, the guests found places at table prettily appointed in Easter's pastel colors harmonizing with bouquets of roses to enjoy a chaplain's duties, Mrs. Miller explained. Chaplains of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish denominations work together for a common cause, the brotherhood of man, and cooperate to bring aid, comfort and spiritual help to their men. She told of the increase in spiritual interest among men of the Navy, describing their voluntary formation of Bible study groups and their equally voluntary attendance at religious services, since such attendance is never compulsory. All that is compulsory aboard ship, is the silence rule and the no-smoking rule when services are in progress. The fact that men have found fundamental value in such teaching, and that religion to them is more a religion of brotherhood than of comfort, was one of her interesting points. Mrs. Miller's talk was punctuated with amusing and sometimes pathetic little stories of some some of her personal experiences with Navy wives, told with a quiet humor that made her a joy to hear. She is at present living in Whittier where she has a young daughter attending Whittier college. In advance of the formal program was the customary Bible quiz in charge of Mrs. George Paige, assistant leader. Complimentary to Mrs. Miller was the preliminary social interval when Mrs. L. Earle Phillips, Mrs. C. O. Lewis and Mrs. E. G. Havard served a tempting dessert course from a flower-garlanded table. ON HOME VISIT Mrs. Duncan Powers (Florence Backs) took her departure yesterday to rejoin Major Powers in their Sacramento home, after a week's visit here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Backs, 317 North Philadelphia street. City Invests Funds In War Bonds Anaheim's totals in the assigned quota of $800,000 in the current War bond drive, will be augmented considerably by the city council's decision to invest $50,000 of the city funds in Series F, 12 year maturity bonds, which will bear interest at 2.53 per cent. Action was taken at the meeting Tuesday night. While piano numbers were varied, yet greater variety was offered by Miss Norland's violin solos. She played three selections in her single appearance, choosing "Legende" by Bohm, "Bolero" by Burleigh an dthe sparkling Lehar-Kreisler arrangement of "Frasquita." She showed a fine bowing technique an dthe same musicianship that was displayed by the piano artists. Paul Ross chose as his first group, "Invention" by Bach; the Schumann "Romance" and "Playera" by Granados, and closed the program with his final group, "Malaguena" by Lecuona, and the Rachmaninoff "Polichinelle." The auditorium made a charming setting with its arrangement of calla lillies and greenery. Enhancing the picture were the "usherettes," the Misses Norine Marshburn, Doris Essary and Jeannette Hemmerling, in pretty pastel formals. This same bevy of girls aided in serving refreshments during a social hour, when the mothers of the three young soloists, Mrs. Bessie Norland of this city, Mrs. Clarence Kennon and Mrs. Paul Ross of Fullerton, presided at the tea table. The table itself was a lovely picture with its lace cloth and its bowl of dainty Cecil Brunner rosebuds. BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS! Mrs. Gathas Given Honors At Birthday Surprise Patrons of the popular Oyster Loaf cafe on West Center street, today found Mrs. William Gathas, wife of the proprietor, still puzzling over the question as to how her friends discovered that yesterday, April 21, was her birthday anniversary. But discover it they did, and made their plans accordingly. Last night after the rush of the dinner hour had subsided, they descended upon the Oyster Loaf in numbers. Joined in their friendly plans by Mr. Gathas and the employees, they proceeded to celebrate with a gala dinner party with Mrs. Gathas as guest of honor. There were flowers and gifts in wide variety, some of the gifts chosen for their appropriateness, and others for sheer amusement. In the latter might be classed the live "Easter bunny" which was delivered to the birthday celebrant through the medium of Uncle Sam's mail.

Installation of Miss Williamson and her sister officers will be accomplished with much ceremony, and invitation has been extended to Miss Ethel Coffman of Santa Ana, newly elected president of Southern district, to preside.
