Hostess Duties at L.A. Are Filled With H. "No, I don't know anyone here," the rosy cheeked sailor boy said. "I just like coming to Anaheim because it's more like my home town in Texas than any place I've seen. This is the third week end I've come up from San Diego," he went on, "and it sure is good seeing all the families on the street Saturday night and looking in the store windows and not seeing many men in uniform. It feels like home having people smile at you and sometimes even speak to you. Yes, ma'am; that's the reason I sure like coming here." He was just 18 and there was an eager, friendly light in his eyes as he talked to the hostesses at the USO canteen down on West Center street. The long room was crowded because it was too early to go to the shows or the dances and the soldiers, marines and sailors were marking time. They were a relaxed bunch, though in most instances the left side of their tunics were covered with campaign stripes, bronze battle stars and medals. Up near the entranceway two soldiers were at the public telephone booth and a Marine was writing a letter at the desk and another Marine was sitting on a davenport resting and reading. Two sailors were having an exciting game of ping-pong and four marines were playing pool. At the canteen counter there flowers by Paula CALL ZENITH-1850 Flowers For all Occasions.

Up near the entranceway two soldiers were at the public telephone booth and a Marine was writing a letter at the desk and another Marine was sitting on a davenport resting and reading. Two sailors were having an exciting game of ping-pong and four marines were playing pool. At the canteen counter there was a mixture of soldiers, sailors and marines and they were drinking coffee or milk and enjoying the homemade cakes and cookies provided by a number of townspeople. They looked pleased when they were invited to sit at the old-fashioned round oak tables with the hostesses, and where they had intended to drink a quick cup of coffee and leave they lingered instead for an hour's conversation of fun and laughter. T/Sgt Norman Ables, U. S. Army Air Force and son of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Ables of Euclid avenue, Anaheim, came in to telephone his family to "come and get him" for he was at home on an unexpected week-end pass from Victorville and he was leaving shortly for Kingman, Arizona—after that overseas for a second tour of duty. About 10 months ago he came back from 14 months in the South Pacific and he was wearing ribbons indicating a presidential group citation and the Air Medal with two Oak Leaf clusters. "Yeah, I want to go back," he said. "It isn't the same here now," he added, "all my friends are out there someplace." He's a member of a B-17 crew although in the Pacific he flew on a B-25. He graduated from Anaheim Union High school in the class of '38. A marine shore patrolman with laughing eyes and a tunic covered with overseas ribbons, said, "We're all set, my wife and I. We have a little home down in Costa Mesa and, gee, we had a piece of luck today. We bought three dozen diapers so now we have five dozen all together... we're sure broke though this month, they cost $15... the baby? Oh, he's not arriving until August. Naw! I'm not excited about it," he said with a big grin that belied his words. By nine o'clock the crowd had drifted out and only a tall, lanky sailor still sat at the table an his young face was troubled. "Three weeks from tonight I'll be back home in Chicago. I've been You've never seen anything team up so well as a good looking sport jacket and a smart pair of slacks. And here's where we come in, for we've a selection that can't be beat.

"Three weeks from tonight I'll be back home in Chicago. I've been in the Navy 10 months and I've spent eight of them in the hospital. ... got a permanent heart disorder and the doctor says I can't work for three years. "What worries me," he said with a puzzled frown, "I'll be a drain on the family. Oh, my mother and two sisters will fuss over me for a few months, but then I'll just be a drag on them. That's what worries me," he repeated. "What about school and the G.I. Bill of Rights?" the hostess asked. His eyes lighted, "That's right," he said. "I've been in the antique business with my family since I was 14—I'm eighteen now and I've only had high school. Boy, oh boy, if I could get some business college education ... why with my experience I'd be way out ahead of the other kids my age wouldn't I?" He left soon afterwards but he was smiling and the puzzled look in his eyes was gone. It was 11:30 and "lights out" time. The hostess went home. It had been a quiet evening. Nothing much had happened. For the fiscal year 1944 federal taxes on individual income amounted to $18.3 billion. Income and excess profit taxes on corporations totaled $14.8 billion.

But the fact is that size can be very misleading unless you know about the quality of the diamond. Brilliance, color and perfection all give a greater bearing on the value of a diamond than mere size. Before you select your diamond we invite you to come in and have a talk with our diamond experts.
