They were Nancylee Olney, Mary Van Ruiten and her sister, Kathryn Van Ruiten. Nancylee acted as accompanist on the piano as well as taking part in several solos on both the piano and accordion. The program opened with a piano duet, "Festival Procession March" by Rathbun played by Nancylee and Mary and was followed by the latter giving a group of three piano numbers; "Prelude No. 1." by Bach; "Early California Sonatina" by Rasbach and "Novellette in D minor" by Goodrich.

The letter follows I'm on my fifteenth m China, and believe me I have China from all angles and part of it too. The war is so well against Japan it sees my old outfit will surely see some more of China not a doubt in my mind but some day I'll see parts of on the coast that I visited ago on my trip over here now assigned, formerly ja tached, to the Fourteen Force. In a way to me it is for us, for we have served all during our time overs. They alone have carried battle for years to the Ja their record is a brilliant spite of the fact we at time so handicapped by supply planes.

Things happen so fast times, something local to not permitted for your new print, that I wonder about war—on all fronts. It's a war, and one just can't hurt witness some of the most events ever. I'm just like other boys, I pray time catch up with me here in C. You ask about the little boy the group has taken and has been with us so suppose you would know how A beautiful floral arrangement of yellow jonquils and the blue hyacinth centered the tea table.

Sissons and Mrs. Arthur Kemper now of Corona Del Mar. Mrs. Paul Demaree and Mrs. M. A. Gauer also poured while all the council board members assisted in various hostess duties. Anaheim Woman Returns From South America Mrs. Willard Findlay, daughter of Mrs. Edith Edmiston of South Olive street, arrived in Anaheim last Thursday, Feb. 22 from Equador after a year's absence from the United States. It was on Feb. 22, 1944 that she left here to join her husband in the South American country. Mr. Findlay is a geologist with the Standard Oil Company of California and expects to arrive in San Francisco the middle of March. Mrs. Findlay will join him there where he will receive his next assignment. Mrs. Findlay came on ahead of him following receipt of a cablegram that her mother was ill and upon arrival was happy to find that Mrs. Edmiston was greatly improved. It was 15 days before she could secure a reservation for airplane travel, the only means of travel open to civilians. The three day journey proved intensely interesting as most of her fellow passengers were representatives enroute to the Pan American conference in Mexico City. Mrs. Findlay spent some time in Quito, capitol of Equador and in Guayaquil. She was in the latter place at the time of the revolution and during the height of the trouble machine guns were set up at each corner near her house. Machine gun bullets flew about but she was unhurt and when it was all over she was "glad to have witnessed some of the revolution." The principal manner in which the country has so far been effected by the war is in travelling and like the United States it is almost impossible to travel anywhere on short notice. As far as outstanding work at the Anaheim Union High school. The splendid work of two other members was recognized and Mrs. George Graham and Mrs. E. H. Kersten were presented with life memberships by Mrs. R. W. Marvin. The two singers next joined in two songs, "I Love You Truly" by Bond and "Somewhere a Voice." Another accordion solo, "Tea for Two" by Youmans was played by Nancylee and was followed by two songs sung by Mary and entitled, "O Promise Me" by De Koven and "Macushla" by MacMurrough. The last piano solo was played by Nancylee and was "Rusties of Spring" by Sinding while the concluding number on the program was an accordion duet played by Nancylee and Mary, "Juarez, Spanish March" by Schettino. 'Returnees' Place In Civilian Life Discussed at P.T.A.

Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters and Science at the University of Southern California, told members of the High School P. T. A. Thursday night when a large group met at the high school for the monthly meeting. He stressed the need for fulfilling promises made to the men in service and also that the civilian must be alert to the changes in the "returnee", when he comes back. Preceding his interesting talk a skit, "Utterly Fantastic" was presented under the direction of Miss Natalie Street. Those in the cast included Chad Boliek, Lynn Boilek, Wanda Rinehart, Anna Mae Bath, Doris Koontz, Nell Bentjen, Duane Smith, Don Brown, Wilma Wilbern, Clark Wingert, Joy Wurgaft, Lonnie Collins and Violet Gust.

As far as food goes there is plenty for it is possible to live off the country. Upon arrival in San Francisco Mrs. Findlay was most struck by the cities cleanliness, the super markets and the lack of personal service. At various times Mr. and Mrs. Findlay have lived in practically every corner of the world and have had many exciting and interesting experiences.

The total of 147 proposed measures does not include postwar limited-access highway legislation, or are the bills affecting the gas tax included in the tally, the club stated. Many of the bills are technical amendments to the motor vehicle code, designed to clear up legal points and clarify existing statutes. About one-fifth of them were sponsored by the Advisory Committee on Motor Vehicle Legislation, of which the Automobile Club is a member.

PAULINA ST., ANAHEIM (Near North St.) Come Early — Above Rates Go Up Last Week Vivid Account of Life in China With 14th Air Force Told in Letter to Sister Mrs. Norma Nipper, employee at the Anaheim Gazette, recently received the following interesting letter from her brother Tech. Sgt. Lollie M. Kriewitz who is with an air corps service group in China where he has been stationed for the past 15 months. Because of its very interesting account of China as seen through American eyes it is being published here in its entirety. The letter follows; I'm on my fifteenth month in China, and believe me I have seen China from all angles and a big part of it too. The war is going so well against Japan it seems that my old outfit will surely in time be some more of China. There's not a doubt in my mind but what some day I'll see parts of China on the coast that I visited years ago on my trip over here. We are now assigned, formerly just attached, to the Fourteenth Air Force. In a way to me it is a boost for us, for we have served them during our time overseas. They alone have carried the battle for years to the Japs, and their record is a brilliant one, in spite of the fact we at times were handicapped by supplies and planes. The new help over here is well and the B-29's are doing the job regularly against the Japanese. Things happen so fast sometimes, something local to us and not permitted for your newspaper print, that I wonder about this man—on all fronts. It's all in a war, and one just can't help but witness some of the most tragic events ever. I'm just like all the other boys, I pray time doesn't catch up with me here in China. You ask about the little Chinese boy the group has taken to raise and has been with us so long. I suppose you would know him now. Kiwanis Club Told Of German Tactics Used Against AAF Tactics used by the Germans against our fighters and bombers were described to local Kiwanians Tuesday noon at the Elks club by Lt. W. G. McCoy, 8th Army Air Force, SAAAB. The pilot, veteran of many missions over France and Germany, cited instances where attempts were made to bomb our bombers by German planes flying over them and in some cases attempting to drag bombs attached to cables through their formations. He related problems with which the air forces were confronted in the early days of the war when the bombers were handicapped through lack of fighter protection. Lt. McCoy, whose unit has been cited three times by the president, told of methods used by the Americans in attempting to destroy the German air force and of dropping supplies to the French underground prior to the invasion. He also gave a brief description of the channel during the invasion as seen from his plane. Paul Davidson served as program chairman, introducing the speaker. President Paul Bakenhus wielded the gavel during the business session. VISITING HERE Mrs. William Humbert of Phoenix, Arizona is visiting her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Weisel of Walnut street. She expects to be here several weeks. FORMER RESIDENT DIES Funeral services were held in Los Angeles today for Mrs. Elizabeth Waite who formerly lived in Anaheim for 25 years. Since 1938 she has been making her home theater of operations, reached his parents, Mr. Roy Mendoza of 837 South Street. The citations were by Vice Admiral M. A. U. S. Navy, commander First Carrier Task Force. The first citation read: "For distinguishing extraordinary achievements participating in aerial flight lot in a carrier based flight plane assigned to escort group against enemy ships installations at the PHI." Things happen so fast sometimes, something local to us and not permitted for your newspaper print, that I wonder about this man—on all fronts. It's all in a scar, and one just can't help but witness some of the most tragic events ever. I'm just like all the other boys, I pray time doesn't catch up with me here in China. You ask about the little Chinese boy the group has taken to raise and has been with us so long. I suppose you would know him now by the name of G. I. Lou. G. I. Naturally stands for Government issue Joe. Everyone calls him you, and I'd say he knows everyone as everyone knows him. His guardian is an old army man twenty some years service in the army and he dresses him, lecures him, perhaps spanks him occasionally. The old sergeant has his clothes, both khaki and O.'s tailored to fit him, and he has every issue any of us have. When we have personnel or complete layout inspections, Lou hands them just like all the soldiers. He really has become quite adept at giving commands, in his way I understand he really blares at "attention" for the inspecting officers. Funny thing, like all Chinese children, though born in a country blessed with water everywhere, when first picked up by the boys, he would cry to heaven taking a bath. Now he stays clean as a pin, cathes regularly, his skin just dines, washes his teeth after each meal, and the other day he could not resist showing a bunch of us how clean his finger nails were. One of these days I'll take a pic- The marriage then of these two persons, providing of course they are of opposite sex, takes place when they are still quite young. This sort of practice is more among the landowner people, and each small village is nothing more than one family, several generations all living there. You see, every family prides themselves on having boys, not girls, because a married son brings home a wife to work and at the same time brings forth more boys, they hope and pray, to grow up, marry, and bring home a wife that —well, you see, that can go on and on and on! When a daughter marries, she leaves home for good, after so many days of ceremony, etc., but she immediately becomes a member of her husband's family, and thereby takes a privileged place over their own daughters in inheriting the land, estate, etc. The reason, you see, is that daughters will leave, join other families; why let them have it, but keep it in the son's family, the village. I have seen these marriage processes traveling overland, quite a procession, everyone dressed up, music, fun, floats, all walking except the father and the son, on their way to get the bride. It is their way of doing it, so guess it's all right. They still insist on binding the baby's feet when born, another VISITING HERE Mrs. William Humbert of Phoenix, Arizona is visiting her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Weisel of Walnut street.

These women hobbling along on feet three to six inches long is a sight, and to see them run when an old water buffalo starts off is a scream. They work hard as any man and a job like pounding rocks, hauling them, is just a breeze. It's all a great country—take me home! "My dad's calling me up tonight" "I haven't seen him for some time." If you are not in the service, would you mind going easy on Long Distance between 7 and 10 tonight so his call can get through quicker? "Pop and I will be mighty grateful."
