THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1945 SOCIETY WOMEN'S ACTIVE By HELEN GRAFTON I Phone 2206 TIMELY TOPICS, BEST SELLERS DESCRIBED TO EBELL MEMBERS BY FLORENCE OHLSEN As charming to look at as she was to listen too, Florence Lee Ohlsen, Los Angeles, gave a topical, fast moving account of current events and a skillful review of best selling books to members of Ebell club Monday afternoon when they met in general session at the clubhouse. Flanked by great baskets of almond blossoms the speaker was a picture of springtime in an aqua blue Adrian afternoon gown fitted to his now famous silhouette of squared shoulders and slimly draped skirt. With it she wore a flower hat with a bit of perky veil. Feeling that these were thrilling times to live in, in spite of the chaotic state of the world, the speaker said that it was a wonderful thing to be alive in an age when nations were united closely in friendship as they are today as evidenced by the Allied Nations Security Conference that will soon be held in San Francisco. She urged that citizens elect statesmen, rather than politicians, to the important conferences in order that our children's future be secured. We in America must learn to make psychological concessions as well as other nations, Mrs. Ohlsen urged in reminding her audience that the world is getting smaller everyday. As a humorous illustration she told the true story of the army flyer who took his mother's laundry and brought it back skillfully laundered in slightly over a week. When she asked where he had been able brought to her audience a vivid account of the work carried on by her committee and many interesting, inside facts of how motion pictures are created. She told of many details that she observed when she witnessed several of the settings for the motion picture, "For Whom the Bells Toll."

The work was carried on by adult Girl Scout workers and represented one full day's work by a group of six women and one-half day's work by another group of six. Mrs. Roquet announced that tomorrow, Friday, there will be an opportunity for additional workers. Any Girl Scout or Brownie leader or troop committee member, mother or friend willing to help with this interesting project may call her at 4216 for additional details. The oranges are being packed in string bags and sent to the Santa Monica Girl Scouts who will then sell them during their annual Orange week.

Hay Miss Marie Von Kanel, executive secretary of the Anaheim Girl Scouts, left this week for Mississippi where she will be married to Cpl. Charles Franklin Hay who has just returned from 20 months duty in the Aleutians. On indefinite leave of absence Miss Von Kanel expressed her deep and sincere appreciation to Anaheim citizens for the splendid co-operation that she has received since coming here 6 months ago as the first executive secretary for the Girl Scout organization in Anaheim. She said that the great growth in Girl Scouts, from 269 to approximately 385 members was only made possible by the whole-hearted co-operation given her.

When she asked where he had been able to receive such excellent work and timely service she said that he dropped it off in India just before flying "over the hump" and upon his return picked it up and brought it over here to her. She reminded her listeners that it only takes 49 members in the senate to declare war (one over majority) but it takes two-thirds vote of 65 members to ratify a peace treaty. Thirty-seven senators would have the power, under existing laws, to successfully oppose even the most wonderful of peace treaties that might be put before them.
