GOODCELL GIVES FINE TALK Final Lecture In Public Forum Series Given "Japan" was the topic of the lecture by Dr. William G. Campbell, University of Southern California, at the Anaheim Public Forum Monday evening at 7:30 p.m. in the high school study hall. This was the fifth and final lecture to be delivered by Dr. Campbell in a series which has met popular approval during the last several weeks. The increasing tempo of affairs in the Pacific and the acceleration of our attack on Japan makes this lecture the most timely in the series. The slogan of the Sixth War Loan is "Japan Next" which indicates that great things are about to happen in that theater of war. Certainly the people of California are deeply interested, as much so as any peoples of the Pacific coast. Dr. Campbell again opened the lecture with the showing of motion pictures which he took during several visits to Japan shortly before the present outbreak. These pictures are in technicolor and, as they were personally taken by the lecturer, add a great deal of interest to the presentation. Following the picture and the lecture by Dr. Campbell a question and discussion period completed the evening.

St. Agnes Guild Welcomes Old-New Members at Meeting A new member, Miss Margery Knowlton, and a former member several years ago of the St. Agnes Guild of Episcopal church, Mrs. Guy Daniels, were welcomed into the organization last Monday evening when they met at the home of Mrs. Eloise Horn, 558 South Ohio street, with Mrs. Gene Kuchel and Mrs. Marguerite Olding assistant hostesses. A delightful program was presented by Mrs. Florence Newkirk, well known piano instructor. Mrs. Newkirk played a number of beautiful compositions of the old masters, her programs always a source of inspiration and great enjoyment. Guests for this meeting were Mrs. M. L. Bordeaux and Mrs. J. N. Cave. He is a member of the Royal Asiatic society. It was while he was living in China that he taught in the schools at Shanghai and later was head of the English and history departments at the Imperial Provincial college at Shantung. At the beginning of his most interesting talk, Mr. Goodcell took his audience back many years in the cultural life of that country, presented through the music of the five-toned melodies played on a flute, music associated with the Orientals. Conditions, problems and other phases of the struggle for supremacy in the Orient were very ably discussed. The old China placed cultural life above that of the military life, as stressed by the Japanese through the centuries. However, during the past seven years the picture has changed, China now giving her military leaders great respect, for during these seven years China has experienced untold hardships because of the Japanese war that is being carried on against her. As his talk progressed, Mr. Goodcell traced the seven years conflict to the present time and in closing, he stated that we know that China is firm in her belief in the right future for her country and in her valiant struggle against the enemy will eventually succeed over the overbearing, dominating Japanese. She is a worthy member of the Allied nations and as such, has been recognized by the great military leaders of the world today. During his talk, Mr. Goodcell followed the progress of the past seven year struggle with the Japanese on a map, thus bringing more clearly to his audience, the desperate fight these people have been making against an aggressor who does not believe in the principle of culture or religion. Rev. P. G. Neuman And Famliy Are Welcomed Here Members and friends of the Bethel Baptist church welcomed their new pastor, Rev. P. G. Neuman and family, formerly of Detroit, Mich., last Sunday when they met at the church. Rev.

Anaheim Chapter Beta Sigma Phi, to Recruit for Wacs Tau Chapter, Anaheim, Beta Sigma Phi, through Bessie Benner, 517 South Los Angeles Street, Anaheim, has pledged itself to recruit at least one Wac for the War Department. This is in response to the appeal of Miss Alice Munn, President Southern California Council, who sent a letter to each Beta Sigma Phi in the area, stressing the need for 60,000 women in the Army with the Surgeon General's Department. "The war is not over, and the need for women is greater than ever before," said Miss Munn, who is active in the Civilian Advisory Committee to the Women's Army Corps under Southern California Coordinator, Mrs. Alice Tanner Gairdner. "As long as our men are being killed and injured every day, we are not at the end of the war," said Miss Munn. "Wounded men, 50,000 to 60,000 each month are being returned to the United States. These soldiers, who have been fighting so gallantly must be made well and strong again, and in Army Hospitals, nursed and aided, and inspired by Wacs, these men are being healed and rehabilitated." "We cannot be indifferent to this plea by our government, every Chapter should pledge itself to recruit at least one Wac. It is my earnest wish that you cooperate with and assist the Civilian Advisory Committee to the Women's Army Corps." GET MARRIAGE LICENSE Ralph R. Norman of Anaheim and Mary H.
