SOCIETY WOMEN'S ATHLETIC P.-T. A. Council Observes Founders' Day With Tea-Musicale of Outstanding Charm Invested with that charm of intimacy that comes from close cooperation in the great work of the Parent-Teacher association, was the delightful tea-musicale with which Anaheim Council P.-T.A. celebrated Founders' Day last Friday afternoon in the R. W. Marvin home, 211 S. Illinois St. It seemed appropriate that the Marvin home should be setting for the hospitality complimenting founders and leaders in the work in this city. For Mrs. Marvin is not only radio chairman in the state Council of Parents and Teachers, but she is a past president of local, city council and district associations. Flowers which lent their beauty to the setting, emphasized National P.E.A. colors of blue and gold, with blue hyacinths and yellow jonquils mingled effectively. Mrs. Milton Sell and her committee had pretty jonquil and hyacinth corsages, tied with blue ribbons, in readiness for each honor guest, all of which added to the spring-like atmosphere which prevailed. More than a hundred guests called at intervals during the at home hours. They were greeted by a receiving line which included with the hostess, Mrs. Marvin and Mrs. Leo J. Friis, present council president, three honored founders, Mrs. E. Kate Rea, Mrs. Eva Boyd and Mrs. Hattie Spencer. The letter's home is now in San Francisco especially lovely with its elaborately embroidered cloth and its low bowl of blue and gold blossoms. Asked to preside in turn at the silver urns were Mrs. Melbourne A. Gauer and Mrs. Arthur Lindell; Mrs. Paul H. Demaree and Mrs. G. E. Holmes; Mrs. L. N. Wisser and Mrs. T. E. Harrison; Mrs. Leo J. Friis and Mrs. Arthur Kemper. Music provided a softly lovely obbligato for the reunion of old friends. Juanita Ross as soloist, sang at frequent intervals. Bonnie Mae Smith, music supervisor in the elementary schools, was her accompanist, and also added piano solos from time to time.

Prints and Broke Signal Corps Film Brings Kiwanians Realistic Message When Kiwanis club members were privileged to see the motion picture "Baptism by Fire" at their Tuesday meeting in Elks clubhouse, all agreed that it gave a new meaning to the horrors of World War II, and brought it very close home indeed. The picture, filmed by the U.S. Signal Corps especially for showing troops going into combat for the first time, revealed actual battle scenes in all their stark horror. Its showing was arranged by Norbert Faessell, program chairman for the day. It was screened by representatives of the Douglas Aircraft company. A short business session was conducted by President Frederick Robins and followed by other important program features. Edward J. Power, War Fund chairman for Anaheim chapter, American Red Cross, introduced Arthur Basham, regional director for the coast area, who spoke on work of the Red Cross made possible by the funds now being accumulated.

Frank Kellogg, entertainment committee chairman, announced a social event for the night of March 14 in Ebell clubhouse, where Major Knox Manning, well known radio commentator, will be guest speaker. Major Manning was with the first contingent to land at Salerno, and will have much of interest to relate.
