Work Of Youthful Artists To Adorn U. S. Army Hospitals When youthful students at St. Catherine’s Military school learned that Anaheim chapter American Red Cross, was given a quota of six wall hangings to be placed in various Veterans’ hospitals, they immediately asked to supply the entire quota for Junior Red Cross activities. They not only completed the quota, but added four additional hangings, to bring cheer to convalescing patients. Providing their own materials, the boys, all of them junior students of approximately the eighth grade, developed their ideas on heavy canvas with colored crayons as their medium. A heat process was then applied to render the design permanent. The work was done under supervision of Harold Kramer, art instructor at the school, and the latter added two beautiful hangings to the collection. One is a Madonna and Child, done in rich jewel colors, especially the softly vivid blue of the Madonna’s robes. The other is a striking grouping of the young St. John and the Child Jesus at a fountain. While these two hangings are finished works of art, the remaining studies done by the lads themselves, are excellent in design and technique. Subjects are varied, and colors are always cheerful. The boys seem to have applied a theme of the Allied Nations, for so many lands are represented. For instance there is a quaintly charming study of a Chinese merchant; another depicts a Miss prominent store window that the public may see the work done by the young people. New Directors Of Red Cross Meet To Name Officers Business activities of Anaheim chapter American Red Cross will be under supervision during the year just ahead, of Mrs. P. H. Nelson and Mrs. D. Jerry Youngs, elected as co-chairmen Tuesday night by the board of directors. It was the first business meeting held by the directors since their recent election, and various offices were filled. They included the choice of Melbourne A. Gauer as vice chairman; Mrs. Ralph Abbott, secretary, and Elmer Bruce, treasurer. The complete list of appointive officers and committee chairman has not yet been made, but will be chosen soon from the directorate. The chapter functioned last “Construction of the Highway has undoubtedly been a great naval battle and one of Alaska and Canada, with sequent establishment of air bases in Canada by the anese,” Hugh A.

Subjects are varied, and colors are always cheerful. The boys seem to have applied a theme of the Allied Nations, for so many lands are represented. For instance there is a quaintly charming study of a Chinese merchant; another depicts a Mission scene in which the perspective is especially well worked out with shadow effects; a gay little peasant girl is shown in her high mountain setting; a youthful fisherman can almost be heard whistling down a forest path; tropical scenes show soaring palms and dreamy lagoons. An amusing cartoon, unsigned, aptly illustrates its title, "One More Blowout and I Start Walking!" Lads signing the several wall hangings are James Walsh, Bob French, Jerry Dugan, Jack Elkington and Charles Conroy. The hangings were accepted by Mrs. C. A. Neighbors, activities chairman, and Mrs. Lotus H. London, Junior Red Cross chairman of the chapter. At present they are at Red Cross headquarters on West Center street, but it is hoped to place them on display in some It was the first business meeting held by the directors since their recent election, and various offices were filled.

The complete list of appointive officers and committee chairman has not yet been made, but will be chosen soon from the directorate. The chapter functioned last year under chairmanship of Mrs. Youngs, who accepted this year's co-chairmanship with Mrs. Nelson, head of the knitting committee last year. The new knitting chairman has not yet been named. At present the charter is waiting for a new consignment of yarns. In the meantime other work is progressing rapidly. Among junior activities, the chapter has just accepted more than half a hundred finished hot-water bottle covers from girls of Marywood Central high school. Each cover will be tagged to show that it was done by a Junior Red Cross activity, and Mrs. M. L. Goble, one of the chapter's prize knitters, has headed the group stitching the little labels to place. WAR BONDS will back up the men who are backing you up! Speaking of the highway in post-war conditions, Mr. clared that it will focus on Alaska and aid in the ment of that region's naval sources. He prophesied that ka will reach a population million shortly after end war. During the club's business under presidency of Demaree, reports were given various members attending recent meeting in Longhall honoring Charles L. president of Rotary Internship Among speakers were M. Demaree, Elder R. Deerie Bourne A. Gauer, George Strom and Claude Russell.

Matier assured Naheim Rotarians Monday, when he appeared as guest speaker at their luncheon in Elks club. Introduced by Robert Boney, Matier, who is public relations representative for Union Oil company, had many years' association with the development of Alcan Highway and gave an informative talk on its history. He spoke of political interference which delayed construction until the outbreak of war made the highway necessary. Going back in history, he spoke of plans of James A. Hill, railroad magnate, to build a railroad to Alaska in 1907, plans which were never executed because of Canadian Pacific railroad opposition. During the administration of Theodore Roosevelt, the president advised the construction of a highway because of his distrust of the Japanese government. Actual construction of the project was delayed however until outbreak of the present war, and then the 1,600-mile highway was pushed to completion in 161 days. Its cost, the speaker stated was over 14 million dollars plus the time of Army personnel. Speaking of the highway's value in post-war conditions, Matier declared that it will focus attention. ARRIVES UNEXPECTEDLY Having been detailed to return from South America in charge of a wounded Navy man, Carl Everett Granere, pharmacist mate 1/c, was granted an unexpected leave to come home for a flying visit with his mother, Mrs. Hulda Granere, 551 South Clementine, and other relatives and friends. Upon arrival in Miami, Fla. with his patient, Granere telephoned his mother not knowing that his faithfulness to duty would be rewarded with a several days' leave. When this was granted he flew to the coast and surprised his many friends here. He must report back to Miami by Feb. 10. Granere entered the service after nine years' connection with the Hilgenfeld Mortuary. Club Speaker Says That Complacency Will Delay Victory That complacency on the part of the public is threatening a delay of final victory in the war, was one of the interesting points brought out by William G. Carter when addressing Kiwanis club members Tuesday at their luncheon meeting in Elks clubhouse. Carter, who is executive secretary of the Employers Industrial Relations council of the county, was presented by Kiwanian Paul Bakenhus, an executive councilman in the organization. In pointing out that the war is far from being won as yet, he denied that any fault lay with either Army or Navy, but asserted that too many groups and organizations are giving their attention to plans for a post-war world and not enough to getting the war won. In discussing the present setup between management, labor and the WLB, the speaker declared that despite the no strike pledge there have been some 5,500 strikes since Pearl Harbor with a resultant loss of many millions of man hours. This situation, he felt, is largely attributable to racketeer leadership in labor, and expressed the opinion that organized labor would not condone strikes if it were not for such leadership. During the club's business session under presidency of Frederick Robins, Charles H. Mann was re-elected to the cabin board, which has the Kiwanis lodge at Idyllwild in charge. Finances of the lodge were reported by Forest Fowler. Everett Cone presented the Kiwanis operating budget for 1944. “What oranges come to this country are allocated to children—very few adults have eaten oranges for a year or two but it is surprising how their desire for citrus fruit remains as fresh as ever,” is a thought provoking portion of a letter from a California Fruit Growers Exchange pre-war customer in London.
