Especially in demand is sets of wooden furniture, according to Albert Tassi, salvage manager. Some of the families, he said, have as many as eight to 10 members, including children. Donations of furniture are not keeping up with requests. All types of furniture and home furnishings are wanted, including beds, mattresses, bed clothing, chairs, tables, stoves, heaters, dresser, lamps, rugs and carpets. Also home appliances, refrigerators, chinaware, silverware, glassware, ash trays, vases, planters, pictures, end tables, foot stools, mirrors, candlesticks, bric-a-brac, bicycles and toys of all kinds for both boys and girls.

Vet Successes As Veterans' Day As the nation prepares to mark Veterans Day this week-end, Mort Webster, Manager of VA's Southern California Regional Office, reviewed the achievements of America's 22,270,000 living veterans. He found that veterans had established themselves in every walk of life with an outstanding record of adjustment to civilian living — in the professions, the skilled trades, business, industry, farming, government. This adjustment was made possible to a great degree by the benefits provided veterans by Congress such as GI education and training and GI loans. Make Their Own Way Webster emphasized that one of the most interesting and heartwarming facts was that large numbers of disabled veterans, through VA hospitalization and rehabilitation, are making their own way in the world on the same terms as the able-bodied, with no favors asked. The following, Webster said, were highlights of the record: More than 10,175,000 veterans have prepared for new careers with the help of the educational benefits of the World War II and Korean Conflict GI Bills. Among these were 500,000 neeers, 250,000 school teachers, 170,000 doctors, dentists nurses, and 115,000 scienc Manpower shortages which in these fields today would much greater had it not been these veterans. GI-trained veterans have to raise the entire educational level of the United States. We pointed out, citing a Census reau report that today the avail head of the household has years of schooling as com with only 9 years in 1850. Other Veteran Programs Two other VA programs loans and GI insurance — assisted veterans in meeting challenge of readjustment villian life. Webster said. Under the GI loan pro more than 6.7 million vet have been able to put down by purchasing homes of their with VA-guaranteed loans. Flip My Wig! Wiggery's Back By DORIS LEE Wiggery is back in style again. And wigmakers haven't had it so good since Queen Elizabeth I laid in a supply of 80 wigs of different-colored hair for her campaign to captivate the Earl of Essex. And the way things are going, every woman in America is going to have 80 wigs, probably made of nylon some of them, but wigs nonetheless. It's already creating a storage problem; frantic wig owners have been calling up furniture stores looking for dustproof cabinets to keep their detachable locks in. Until manufacturers come out with a special wig cabinet (hair-i-net?), look for glass-fronted curio cabinets to make a comeback. Has Many Advantages Owning a wig has numerous advantages, of course. For one thing, it means you never have to wash your hair again; just cut it occasionally to keep it from straying out from under the wig. And it means no more rollers to sleep on and no more elaborate hair-dos ruined in bed. You simply take off your wig at night and sleep comfortably in your dirty, matted hair. A wig is always ready to go out on a moment's notice, provided you're not slovenly and wear it around the house all day and get spaghetti sauce on it or some when kings and courtiers began wearing them to conceal baldness. Why, in an era when whole heads were coming off, they worried about a minor thing like falling hair is a mystery, but they did. Pretty soon, however, even people with hair were wearing wigs, just for kicks. Reaches Feverish Pitch The fad reached a feverish pitch around the 18th century when every imaginable shape sat on every imaginable head. Specialized styles came out for the clergy, doctors and lawyers. Brawny cavaliers wore glamorous shoulder-length bobs; army, and navy men wore big Shirley Temple clusters and pigtails. And these were the conservative ones. The women were fancy. In France they wore tall cages on their heads which they covered with curls and rolls generously plastered with powder and perfume, and decorated with ships and small gardens. It isn't generally known what was inside these two-foot structures besides their own hair, but they must have come in handy for storing a variety of things, including out-of-season clothes, family jewels, and more wigs. Heads Roll Things were beginning to get out of hand when the French Revolution came along and bewigged heads began to roll, among them Marie Antoinette's (nobody challenge of readjustment villian life, Webster said. Under the GI loan pro more than 6.7 million veterans have been able to put down by purchasing homes of their with VA-guaranteed loans. occasionally to keep it from straying out from under the wig. And it means no more rollers to sleep on and no more elaborate hair-dos ruined in bed. You simply take off your wig at night and sleep comfortably in your dirty, matted hair. A wig is always ready to go out on a moment's notice, provided you're not slovenly and wear it around the house all day and get spaghetti sauce on it or something. Like a good dress that you keep neatly hanging on wood or wire "shoulders," a wig is kept on a wood or wire "head" so it's fresh and unwrinkled when you need it. Wear your old hair around the house. Pick Up Service A wig also eliminates sitting around in a beauty shop all day. Not being attached to it, you simply carry it in in a sack and leave it, and pick it up later all cleaned and coiffed. Wigs come in handy in the romance department too. No more crushed hairdos. Picture a cozy fireside scene. He sits down on the sofa and pulls her down beside him. Her honey-beige hair, done in a soft French twist, glows in the firelight. He reaches out to touch it. "Hold it," she says. "Let's get comfortable here." She slips off her shoes. Then she slips off her wig. She lays her dirty, matted head on his shoulder and sighs contentedly. They both gaze at her honey-heige hair glowing in the firelight on the coffee table before them. Have Long History Wigs have a long history, going as far back as ancient Egypt (where they even wore phony beards), Greece and Rome. Caesar covered his bald spot with a bunch of leaves until it finally occurred to him to dry something more closely resembling hair. But the wig craze didn't really get rolling until the 17th century Facultv Women Plan First Meet The Savanna High School Faculty Wives will have their first meeting Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 8 p.m. in the home of Mrs. John McGraw 1461 Beverley Dr., Anaheim. Hostesses for the meeting will be Mmes. John McGrew, Harold Yingtst, and Arnold Gaynor.

Annual Oktoberfest '71 Presses Reviewed Days' Day Nears American Conflict GI Bills. Among these were 500,000 engineers, 250,000 school teachers, 40,000 doctors, dentists and nurses, and 115,000 scientists. Unpower shortages which exist in these fields today would be much greater had it not been for these veterans. GI-trained veterans have helped raise the entire educational level of the United States. Webster reported that today the average age of the household has 10.4 years of schooling as compared with only 9 years in 1950. Other Veteran Programs Two other VA programs — GI nurses and GI insurance — have assisted veterans in meeting the challenge of readjustment to civilian life. Webster said. Under the GI loan program more than 6.7 million veterans are able to put down roots purchasing homes of their own with VA-guaranteed loans. Low-cost GI life insurance has given more than 5.9 million veterans the sense of security that comes in preparing for the care of their families should anything happen to them. Disabled Vets Aided America's disabled veterans, fighting their way back to productive, independent lives, have been helped along the way by VA benefits such as hospital and medical care, vocational rehabilitation training, compensation and pension payments and special grants for automobiles and carefully designed "wheelchair homes." Some 686,000 disabled veterans received vocational rehabilitation training. The great majority are employed in fields using the skills acquired during training. When the nation honors its veterans this week-end, it will be able to laud, not only their exploits in war, but their determined peacetime achievements, Webster said. Take The Family...

Bernard Haering, manager of the resort hotel, said the response was overwhelming. He added that approximately 200 people, who had not made reservations for the gala event, had to be turned away. The evening of gayety was woven around a Bavarian theme, as the hotel paid tribute to the proud German heritage of the City of Anaheim. Everything from the beer, food and decorations to the lovable little old zither player was as authentic as Germany itself. Key To The City Earlier in the day, Hans Rolf Kiderlen, Consul General of the German Federal Republic, received a key to the City of Anaheim from Mayor Rector L. Coons, during the opening ceremonies of the "Oktoberfest." With the United States Marine Corps Band musically honoring the German heritage of the City ala Bavarian waltzes and polkas, many local dignitaries paid verbal homage to the City's history.

Hanna, Chamber of Commerce Manager George Consul General Hans Rolf Kiderlen spoke frankly and freely on many important items of the day. Speaking on the Cuban crisis he said, "Only firmness pays off." The United States and West Germany, as close allies, must support each other in these situations. He noted further on the Cuban situation, "If the free world stands firm on its convictions, we will be on the winning side." He noted too, that the German press praised the strong stand of the United States. Speaking of the possibility of a full-scale war over the Cuban situation, he said, "I don't think the communists want war. If they did, they would have started it a long time ago. All they seem to want is a war of the minds." Communists Outlawed Speaking further on communists, he related that the Communist Party has been outlawed in West Germany for ten years "Meanwhile," he added, "In communist East Germany, the people are not interested in working for themselves and their families — they are demoralized. They do not even produce enough food to properly feed themselves, and this was once German's prime agricultural area. Food, for example, is still rationed in East Germany." Noting the tremendous economic growth of West Germany, he Coons, during the opening ceremonies of the "Oktoberfest."

Noting the tremendous economic growth of West Germany, he explained that there are 16 million refugees from East Germany, plus the people of West Germany, working together as a team. He said, "Everybody works hard, and this is the principal reason for the dramatic progress which is being achieved in the area."
