SOCIETY WOMEN'S AC Phone 2206 Talented Author-Lecturer Well Received As Speaker for Ebell Husbands' Night As a gardener cultivates and enriches the earth preparatory to planting the seeds from which he expects a rich harvest, so did Irving Stone, famous author-lecturer, prepare the ground for the reception of his philosophies and conclusions when he appeared Monday night as guest speaker for Ebell's annual Husbands' Night courtesy. Two hundred or more Ebell members and guests greeted the speaker, whose introduction by Mrs. A. L. Raymond followed an enjoyable dinner hour and short preliminary program. This was announced by Mrs. Paul Demaree, president of the hostess club who presented Miss Marguerite Twinem, so recently returned to her home and on the Grinsholm, from occupied China. She spoke very briefly on some of her experiences. The Girls' Triple Trio from Union High School directed by Miss Elizabeth Hunziker, sang charmingly "Homing" (Teresa del Riego); and two a cappella numbers, "Say a Prayer for the Boys Over There" and "This is My Country." Immediately upon introduction of the guest speaker, he launched into a succession of quietly humorous stories, some of them recounting his own struggles to bridge the gap between his career as a university professor and as a recognized writer. This was accomplished by such divers matters as ushering in a New York motion picture theater in New York. 20-30 Annies Join In Enjoyment Of Birthday Gayeties Paving a birthday compliment to "20-30 Annie" Doris Baker, whose anniversary occurs this month, members of that vivacious group of 20-30 club wives shared a merry affair Monday evening in the C. J. Hart, Jr., home, 600 South Clementine street. Mrs. Ethel Hart and Mrs. Eleanor LoPorto joined as hostesses for the party which followed earlier evening hours of making surgical dressings at Red Cross headquarters. A game program was introduced in which prizes were awarded Mesdames Irene O'Brien and Phyllic Woodrome. Other 20-30 Annies present included Jean Holland, Betty Spielman, LaVonne Meger, Nell Jean Fordyce, Rae Henning, Helen Starr, Dorothy Parker and Margie King, with hostesses and birthday celebrant completing the group. News of Petrathal Immediately upon introduction of the guest speaker, he launched into a succession of quietly humorous stories, some of them recounting his own struggles to bridge the gap between his career as a university professor and as a recognized writer. This was accomplished by such divers matters as ushering in a New York motion picture theater, inexpensive living in Paris, working his passage across the Atlantic and the turning out of countless short stories for the pulo magazines. Encouraging to striving writers was his confession of the several years' attempted marketing of one of his most successful books, the story of the celebrated painter Van Gogh, told in "Lust for Life." A more recent success. "They Also Ran," provided the speaker with a certain foundation for many of the points brought out in the more serious portion of his address on "A World to Come Home To." This world, for whose making everyone is responsible, is not only the world for the soldier to come home to, but for each of us to seek after the close of the war, he declared. His research into the history of this nation's 19 defeated candidates for the presidency with which "They Also Ran" deals paved the way for his assertion that election years in the United States are periods of wild hysteria. The present presidential election year, he declared, will bring months in which the American public will do its utmost to destroy a world peace, because of this hysteria. "It really matters little what candidate wins or which party gets in, in comparison with the dissensions and hatreds created," he declared. "They can work greater harm than the worst man that could possibly be elected." His summary of possible presidential candidates, headed by President Roosevelt, commended the interest if not the unqualified approval of the audience. In his discussion of new and revolutionary conditions in "A World to Come Home To," the speaker declared that the world must be freed from the psychosis of fear under which American people have labored. This freedom, as the key to this post-war world, is indicated by such things now in prospect as surrendering certain of our so-called freedoms A game program was introduced in which prizes were awarded Mesdames Irene O'Brien and Phyllic Woodrome. Other 20-30 Annies present included Jean Holland, Betty Spielman, LaVonne Meger, Nell Jean Fordyce, Rae Henning, Helen Starr, Dorothy Parker and Margie King, with hostesses and birthday celebrant completing the group. News of Betrothal Interests Many Friends in Anaheim An engagement announcement of much local interest, was that made recently by the Oscar S Matsons of Costa Mesa, who gave the holiday news to family friends, of the betrothal of their daughter, Miss Barbara Carolyn Matson, and Robert F. Gobar, son of Dr. and Mrs. F. Harold Gobar of Fullerton. First announcement was the traditional one made by Miss Matson to her Alpha Delta Pi sorority sisters at Berkeley, where she has continued college work begun at Santa Ana Jaysee. Her fiance is an alumnus of both Fullerton Jaysee and Stanford University, and is now completing medical studies in San Francisco. Navu Mothers Need Aid In Meeting Housing Shortages That Navy Mothers club has placed approximately 60 of the 110 applicants for living quarters since organization of its housing committee for Navy and Marine families in early September, was one of the interesting points brought out last night when the club held its January session in Legion hall. Mrs. M. P. Thaxton, chairman of the committee, told of remodeling operations on three houses and one service station, in preparation for use by such families, and how the remainder had been placed in a few apartments and in private homes. Success of the operation was indicated by the fact that with the exception of 14 transfers to other bases, the majority of the families remain where they were first placed. Anaheim housing is especially needed by officers and their families from Los Alamitos base she explained. Also the need is intensified by the arrival at El Toro Marine base, of Marines Mrs. Berg is an exponent of faith life and has written seven books on that subject including "The Hem of His Garment" "Streams That Never Run Dawn and others. She also has written many poems, one of which, 'Saw a Star in Your Window,' been set to music and will sung Sunday. VIRGINIA BERG An event of interest in church circles, is the series services to be held Sunday Free Methodist church, Clemens street at Broadway, feasting the evangelistic party heard by Virginia Brandt Berg, author evangelist and radio favorite Miami, Fla., and Hollywood. Mrs. Berg's party includes husband, the Rev. Hjalmer Bergen soloist; their son, the David Brandt Berg, baritone; Miss Corinne Linger, one of A CORINNE LINGER President Roosevelt commended the interest if not the unqualified approval of the audience. In his discussion of new and revolutionary conditions in "A World to Come Home To," the speaker declared that the world must be freed from the psychosis of fear under which American people have labored. This freedom, as the key to this post-war world, is indicated by such things now in prospect as surrendering certain of our so-called freedoms for the security from poverty, illness, illiteracy, the slums and succeeding depressions, insuring full protection for every individual. If we as a people are not willing to face this situation, he declared, then our boys will come home to a world of continued bloodshed and even civil war instead of the rich life in which each individual may devote his well-earned leisure to cultural pursuits. Speaker Named For Program Of County Association Anaheim teachers who are members of Orange County Association for Childhood Education have received announcement of the monthly meeting of the association to be held next Tuesday afternoon in Roosevelt school, 318 East First street, Santa Ana.

Methodist Folk Welcome Guests To Evening of Sermons Everyone in the city joins an evening of old-fashioned gospel singing, is invited to the congregation of White Plume Methodist church at 7:30 p.m., for such an occasion. The occasion is planned dedication for new gospels books, and the singing, by Lyman Harpster, will be mented by the full church. The Rev. Thomas L. Burdenator, in making the invitation, said, "Everybody joys so here is the golden funity for all to take part." HEART ATTACK VICTIM IS LAID TO REST Quiet funeral services late Robert Anton, 400 Lemon street, were held Monday in the Backs, Clover and Kaulbars chapel by the Thomas L. Burden of White Plume Methodist church. Burden made in Anaheim cemetery. Mr. Anton, born in Scott years ago, had lived in Alder for the past 20 years. His surviving relatives are two still living in Scotland. He on Thursday, Dec. 30, came from an apparent heart attack while he was driving his car on North Olive street. Evidently he had warned his condition, for he had suffered off the ignition of his car come to the curb at 215 Olive street, where he was covered at once, but too offer any aid. VIRGINIA BERG DAVID BRANDT BERG Strategic Islands Are Described For Rotary Group "Pacific Islands Day" might well have been the title given to Monday's Rotary club meeting in Elks clubhouse, since the program arranged by Ronald Brandon featured two authoritative speakers on such islands and their war-time aspect. They were Commander McCord, supply officer at the Marine Base, El Toro, and Electrician 1/e W. M. Ainsworth. Commander McCord, who has been in the Navy for 37 years, talked particularly on Guam, now held by the Japanese, but where he went in 1935 to manage the service supply store, later advancing to judge and senior auditor on the island. He described the geographical aspects, the volcanic and coral formation, the porous soil and the native inhabitants. After discussing the Japanese occupation, Commander McCord stated that the Navy now has a measure of information obtained from one of the Navy nurses who has now been repatriated after having been held prisoner since the invasion. Apparently the invaders landed in four different positions and the key city was bombed by two Japanese cruisers. All white inhabitants were imprisoned on the island for about a month then sent to concentration camps. Guadacanal, the Russell Islands, New Georgia and New Caledonia were some of the historic points figuring in the talk given by Ainsworth, who has seen active service at each point. He told of instructions to dig foxholes on Guadalcanal as soon as the men landed, but said that all were too curious to see everything to go about the digging.
