SOCIETY NEWS USO Housing Service Has a Busy Work Month The USO Housing Service has had a busy September and the following report will attest to the fine work being done by the committee under the direction of Mrs. M. P. Thaxton, chairman. Included in the total of eighty-two applications for living quarters were thirty-eight from the Los Alamitos Naval station, twenty-one from the El Toro Marine base and twenty-two from miscellaneous and local parties. Of this number a total of thirty-two placements were made in homes and apartments in Anaheim and vicinity with twenty-two of these being from the Los Alamitos station, included among which were nine officers and 11 enlisted men and their families, El Toro, six and miscellaneous placements were four. It is interesting to note that of the total of eighty-two applications received, thirty-one of these had one or more children and the lack of accommodations for all families of these men, whether they have children or not, slowed up the replacements for the past month. There is a steady increase of applications for homes coming into the USO Housing Service office, many of these being wives of local service men and who through circumstances, have been forced to move. Other applications are from wives of service men who have been with their husbands, and who have now gone overseas. These wives and their children are returning to their homes here and have no place to live. The past two weeks have found several applications received from ex-service men who lived here before their entry into service and who have now come home for a job and a place to live. Other applicants have also come from a distance. Mrs. M. P. Thaxton, chairman of this committee, is anxious to have more listings to help, in a small measure, to take care of these returned veterans and the families of all men in service. If you have a room or two that can be made into living quarters or even a sleeping room that could be used, contact Mrs. Thaxton at 'phone 4009. At the present time sixty-five men and their families with an additional thirty-five officers and their families are making their homes in Anaheim, which is bringing happiness to this number of our brave service men who are giving so much in the cause of freedom. An appeal is being made for additional listings with the Housing Service because the committee is finding it more difficult each day to get placements for the applicants. Included in the list now in the register waiting for a place to live are twelve families with children, and six officers with children. Nine applications were received on Tuesday of this week, which should tend to show the need of housing facilities for service men and their families. The morale of the soldier, sailor or Marine is greatly boosted when he knows that his loved ones are comfortably housed with a congenial family whoested enough in their way to provide a few com-mos those near and dear to him. Remember, more and more applications are needed for house-lities so call the chairman.

Throughout the state newspapers are this week having heart-to-heart talks with their readers, discussing the service the papers give and some of the problems they have to meet. "The ordinary newspaper problems have been multiplied many times during the recent war years. Newspapers, like most individuals, have been forced by conditions to make sacrifices and adjustments. Hundreds of papers have been unable to survive. "In most newspapers since Pearl Harbor more than half of the news and editorial columns have been devoted to support of the war effort. Your newspaper has been the voice of the army, the navy, the marine corps, the Red Cross, the Selective Service board, the rationing board, the civilian members and their liaisoning present for the event.
