New BPW Official Family Is Installed By Southern District President With Flower Ceremony at Dinner Party Almost the first executive gesture made by Miss Alice Williamson as newly installed president of Anaheim Business and Professional Women's club, was the calling of a board meeting for tonight in her home on Orangewood avenue. At this time officers and various committee chairmen will plan for the club year and outline policies and activities. Installation of the officers, accomplished last Thursday night in connection with a formal dinner party at Daniger's cafe Santa Ana, was planned by Miss Marjorie Pibel as the finale to her successful year in the presidency. Miss Ethel Coffman, a past president of Santa Ana BPW and new president of Southern district, conducted installation rites on a floral theme. As she inducted each officer in turn, she accompanied an outline of her official duties with a floral spray symbolical of those duties. To Miss Williamson as president, she presented roses in Victory red, with golden hearted daisies as the appropriate flower for Mrs. Mae Boeckman, treasurer; delphiniums, white carnations and other lovely blossoms for Miss Beulah Hineman, vice-president; Mrs. Mary Heinlein, recording secretary, and Miss Irene Zitzmann, corresponding secretary. As a final the flowers were arranged in a central bouquet to which Miss Coffman added gladiolus sprays for national and international organizations, commenting on the Four Freedoms which give women the right to organize such groups. Miss Williamson, wearing a blush-pink dinner gown, received her president's pin with the gavel from Miss Pibel, gowned in pale brother, Glenn Greder. Miss Campbell sang a solo group and played the maromba in a trio with the other two artists. Special guests included with Miss Coffman, Miss E. Ferne Stewart, district treasurer, and Miss Corinne Inns, Fullerton, and Mrs. Laura Bettis, Santa Ana BPW president. Committee chairmen appointed by Miss Williamson were introduced as Beulah Hineman and Ruth Williams, program; Dr. Hazel Nelms, membership; Mae Boeckman, finance; Ella Woodall, legislation; Ruth Starr, international relations; Irene Zitzmann, education; Marjorie Pibel, health; Mary Heinlein, publicity; Rose Van Buren, magazine; Sibyl Burdin, research; Mabelle Hathaway, public relations; Naomi Holland, historian, and Eva Boyd, parliamentarian.

Alfred O. Chamie of Los Angeles, have reached the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis J. Donnelly of 29 Palms ranch on West Lincoln avenue. The wedding was a high noon event of Saturday, April 24 in the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in Memphis, with the Rev. Father Kearney officiating. Miss Donnelly was charming in a powder blue afternoon dress worn with a matching headdress of blue tulle. Father Kearney made it a touching and beautiful ceremony for two young strangers in his home city, and asked two of his friends Lieut. Madigan of the Army Intelligence, and Mrs. Madigan to attend them as best man and matron of honor. Following the exchange of vows he entertained Lieut. and Mrs. Chamie and their small wedding party in his home.

Approximately half a hundred tables were called in service for the guests, many of whom formed little parties enjoying the hospitality of some friendly hostess. The clubhouse was wreathed with flowers, and the arrangement of May baskets designed as bridge prizes drew attention to the velvet-draped stage, where the rostrum was outlined with smaller flower clusters. Later these clusters of yellow and white blossoms made table centerpieces for the tea hour, when they were matched by the dainty little frosted cakes served with a variety of tempting sandwiches and tea. Cooperative merchants of the city were represented by pretty gifts which were awarded as door prizes. Bridge prizes were the charming May baskets themselves, donated by different Guild members, and each carrying the message of "Food Conservation." For they contained such welcome gifts as home-made preserves and jellies, cookies, cakes, fruits and eggs. Mrs. Harry I. Horn, guild directress, was assisted in presenting door and bridge prizes by Mesdames Earle Jackson, Howard Hineman and William Grafton, after winning door prize numbers were announced by Mrs. Theodore B. Kuchel, and bridge scores were announced by Mrs. Robert Rossberg. May basket winners among auction players included Mesdames Robert Easton, Oscar Renner, John Sanger, Frank Wilson and Fred Backs.

It was when guests were invited in friendly small groups to the dining room that they learned the true significance of the occasion. For they found the snowy napkins lettered in gold with the inscription "Virginia and Norman; June 6," and even the tempting little tea cakes had the golden initials of "V and N" on their frosted surface. Accenting this golden note were the Talisman rosebuds of the table arrangement, flanked by tall white tapers. Mrs. Buttree presided at the tea urn, and Miss Carolyn Smith served iced fruit punch.

In a total war which everyone, fighter, war worker and civilian, is mobilized all of the electricity we deliver helps out in the war effort. Serving war production of all kinds, and including the many Northern California Army and Navy establishments, the Edison company in 1942 furnished the equivalent in electric power of at least 10,000,000 man-years of energy. This company takes pride in its war service. We are proud despite the greatly increased service load, increased wages other higher operating costs—and a large increase in taxes—that has been no increase in the cost of power to our consumers. On the home front, domestic electricity is still one item in the daily expenses which has not increased in cost. It has dropped relative importance until it is only a fraction above one per cent of the total average cost of living. And there has been no rationing of electricity. In response every call for electric service—from our regular customers, new wartime producers or the armed services—we have responded promptly, "Present and ready for duty."
