Social and Club Activities GRACE THOMPSON MINDER—Phone 2206 OC Legion Auxiliary Installation Set, Mrs. Clapper Anaheim Head Nadine Clapper, newly-elected president of the Anaheim American Legion Auxiliary of Post No. 72, will be seated with her officers during open joint installation for Orange county next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the Huntington Beach Legion hall. The twenty-first district ritual team will officiate for the impressive ceremonies. The Anaheim election of auxiliary officers was held here recently in the local Legion club rooms in the basement of the Anaheim city hall. Other Anaheim officers named to serve with Mrs. Clapper during final elections include Evelyn Schwarting, first vice-president; Oleta Larson, second vice-president; Virginia Anderson, secretary; Verna Hopkins, treasurer; Iona Kohler, sergeant-at-ars; Doris Doetsch, marshal; Harriet Boyd, chaplain; Josephine Fulfer, historian; Mary Anton, musician, and Margaret Peterson, junior past president. On the local executive committee are Lucile Johnson, Marjorie O'Kane, Elvamae Jones and Ida Duncan. As presiding officer and retiring president of the active group Mrs. Peterson presented a president's pin as a personal token to Mrs. Clapper, incoming leader. Highlight of annual reports was mentions and care for a crippled child. The letter from the sponsoring agency was a blow to Casa Colina because the home is adding to its current expenses the cost of a new 33-bed ward. But Jack will not be dismissed. He will stay and learn to walk with the aid of crutches and his new braces, and perhaps some day without them. Another group may become interested in him. If not, says Chas. B. Richmond, manager of the home, matter-of-factly, "We're here for youngsters like Jack. He will stay as long as he continues to improve under our care." Care at Casa Colina includes twice monthly examinations and recommendations by an orthopedic surgeon, constant supervision of his medical health by a pediatricist, daily physical and occupational therapy, and 24-hour a day nursing care by registered nurses and qualified attendants. The new building, which will increase the capacity of Casa Colina Charles "Buddy" Rogers, her husband, dined at Paudau recently and inspired the players to outdo each other in foyer entertainment. Songs and dances of the state of Sonora are featured in the comedy, "El Limoncito," and provide a lively opening program for the Jamaica outdoor carnival following all performances, with the players appearing in colorful regional costumes. Newest artist to join the Mexican Players is Graciela Borja of Los Angeles. A graduate of Fairfax high school, she has studied dancing with the castinets under the direction of such masters as Jose Cansino and Trinidad Goni. Judith La Mori Appears with Burbank Symphony Judith La Mori of Anaheim was one of three young musicians from this area who played in concert Sunday in San Clemente with the Burbank Youth symphony. Three motor bueses transported the Youth Symphony to the beach city where the musicians were met by police escort and ushered into San Clemente to play the concert which closed the Tournament of Sports and opened the San Clemente Summer Musical festival. Following a short rehearsal under the baton of Conductor Leo Damiana at noon, the symphony members enjoyed an afternoon of swimming and other sports, a banquet in their honor, followed by an evening of concert featuring melodies of Strauss, Tschaikowski and Wagner, under direction of Maestro Damiani. Soloist of the orchestra play the Mendelssohn Concerto was Kay Hickman, 12-year-old violinist of Hollywood, a pupil of Vladimer Lenski who is violin instructor at the Anaheim Conservatory of Music of which Mrs. Anna Siegel is director.

The date was inscribed in a gypsy verse enclosed in miniature pink cup and saucer favors which were passed to the guests. Carrying out the bridal theme, ice cream molds in the shape of love birds were served with dainty cookies during the dessert hour.

Smith hopes to leave the party for specialized study in England rather than continuing on to Norway.

The box social will be held Saturday evening at the Michel home. All monies collected from the event will go to swell the Luther League fund.

Miss Whiteman gave a vivid description of Girls' State which she attended recently in Sacramento. Honors came to this city when she was picked, one out of three girls which had been selected from the entire delegation of 350 as the outstanding citizen of the conclave.

Those attending brought salad or dessert while the hostess served cream chicken on hot biscuits. Crippled Child Loses Sponsor "Come see my new braces." Four-year-old, curlyheaded Jack pointed with as much pride to the steel and leather braces on his short legs as if they had been shoes. And there was good reason, for Jack, a cerebral palsy patient at Casa Colina, convalescent home for crippled children at Chino. It will be a long, slow procedure but the braces will help. Even Jack knows that. What he doesn't know is that the braces and therapy necessary for him to learn to walk cost a great deal. And that the group that has been paying something toward the cost of his care every month has just notified Casa Colina that it can no longer sponsor him. Jack has one brother and one sister. The modest family income can not be stretched to include the cost of expensive treatments. Mrs. Peterson Hostess at Party Outgoing officers and chairman of the American Legion Auxiliary No. 72 of Anaheim were honored by an informal party given by Mrs. Margaret Peterson, retiring president of the group, recently, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Hulda Granere, 551 South Clementine street, this city.

A crystal bowl filled with blue and gold flowers, auxiliary colors, centering the table was flanked by two crystal candlesticks each holding a tall lighted taper. Mrs. Granere presided at the silver tea service. Refreshments were served in the dining room.

Mathews was chosen district auxiliary chairman. More than 400 Legion alres and auxiliary members from Orange and Riverside counties attended the session held in Memorial hall, "The Heiress," Brilliant Drama, on Boards At Holiday, Ripley and Randolph Star "Hamlet," "Medea" and "Maria Magdelena" have been the dramatic works which I have regarded as the "best" in my brief experience with the legitimate stage. This week "The Heiress" as presented by Holiday Stage transforms the above trio into a quartet. The Ruth and Augustus Goetz play, suggested by the Henry James novel, "Washington Square," is a work too seldom produced on Broadway and unfortunately a rarity in summer stock. Brilliant Debuts Donald Randolph as Dr. Sloper and Trescott Ripley as his daughter Catherine score brilliantly in their debuts at Tustin. They reach the dramatic heights in "The Heiress" to which all the spians aspire and turn in performances which have been unexcelled at Holiday this season. For the first time this year the entire cast is completely in character. Mary Finney shines as the understanding aunt—a role which is quite a departure from her previous two. The inimitable Oliver Cliff plays the part of the gold-digging lover to a tee. Anaheim Actress Shines Lois Rees Auer, local dramatic instructor, is perfect as the aunt with the horse sense as is Irma Huffman May in the role of the sister of Cliff. Other roles are capably filled by June Lewis and Peter Adams with Delia Salvi giving a convincing portrayal as Maria, the maid. The production staff comes in for its share of orchids with armfuls to E. Alyn Warren for his brilliant direction; E. Willard Schurz for a superb set and Ernest Mauk for the period customs. Technical direction is by Barry McGee. "The Heiress" is a rare evening of theatre—please don't miss it!—BOB FUNSETH Huntington Beach.
