During 1952 attendance at the YWCA was over 20,000 and a total of 2,451 individuals used the facilities there during the year. In the teen-age department there are eight clubs in the senior high school with a total membership of 325 and the jun ior high schools have eight clubs, these having a total mem bership of 250 girls.

Dirty Faces Cause Girls' Spree to End London W Three little maids from school went out on a week end spree with 100 pounds ($280) in theiir pockets and an itch to see the bright lights of Southend, London s Coney Island. The trio Ann, 13, Christine, 11, and Kay, 10 were back home in tears Tuesday. And all because, like most little girls at one time or another, they forgot to wash their faces. A reception clerk noticed their dirty visages and lack of lug gage when they tried to check in at a Southend hotel. He told police. The police asked a lot of questions and returned them to their worried parents. The spree began on Saturday when the youngsters met on street corner and gaily set out with the 100 pounds Kay had taken from her parents home. When the fling ended abrupt ly, there were 67 pounds ($187.60-) left and a bag full of dresses, nylon stockings, perfume and cgarettes to show for it, And, of course, the memory of a wonderful time.

French Suffer Serious Defeat In Indo-China; No Truce By PHIL NEWSOM (United Press Porelin News Editor) It's the dry season now in Indo-China. And like tinder awaiting the spark, the Indo- Chinese war has flared again, with the French suffering a serious defeat. Once more the northern city of Hanoi is threatened. Militarily, the French now must decide whether to risk piecemeal destruction of their forces in isolated outpost fight ing or to pull back for a perim eter defense of Hanoi itself. The wars in Indo-China and Korea continue to build up strikingly similar characteris tics. One of the most recent devel opments was to add further proof that even the heaviest aerial bombing of enemy supply routes cannot prevent any en emy buildup. The French have been attack ing communist supply routes persistently for a year. But de spite all that, it has been esti- Lens on Bombsigfit Fitting Eyes Does Away With Spectacles By HARMAN W. NICHOLS mated that during the just-end ed rainy season the Reds were able to bring in 1,000 tons of supplies monthly from Red China. The similarity with Korea does not end militarily. The French have been des perately hoping for a truce in Korea, feeling that such a truce would have a direct bearing on their own situation in Indo- China. They, alone with most of the United Nations, believe that both wars are fed by the same flame namely, Red China. . The French no longer believe they can win the Indo-China war, particularly so long China continues to supply the Viet Minh Reds with arms and supplies. But they also believe that their own position is stronger and that they no longer can be forced out of Indo-China.

Washington (U.R) Felix E. Flores, a civilian employe in the bombsight maintenance shop at Randolph air force base in Tex as, went to the base hospital with a problem. It seems that he was having trouble calibrating the bomb sights. Because he wore glasses, he was unable to focus the sight to calibrate it the way it should be calibrated. Lt. Lester Zeff, the optometry officer of the hospital's eye clinic, gave the matter some thought and finally came up with an idea. The officer's reasoning went like this: ' The bombsight eye pieces con tain a lens suited for a man with perfect eyesight. Wouldn't it be just as easy to substitute a lens corrected for an individual prescription and do away with the glasses while operating the mechanism? . . Some thought yes, and others thought no, but after a meeting of minds the air force decided to give, the lieutenant's idea whirl. ' ' ' 1 , A special order for a lens made to fit Flores eyes was sent to the St. Louis, Mo., medical de- DOt. In due time the lens arrived' at Randolph. ' ' Flores tried.it out and found that -his efficiency improved by 50 per cent.Mn addition, his job was less tiring. . Zeff then ordered more lenses for bombardiers at the Randolph B-29 school. He explained: Keizer Student- Visits Parents Over Week-end Keizer Miss Phyllis LeRud, student at Cascade college, visit ed her parents, the Nick Le Ruds on Chemawa road over the week-end. E. M.

'Many of the men are recalled reservists in training. Since they last served, the eyesight of some I has changed, through no fault ! of their own." I A grateful bombardier at Forbes AFB in Kansas wrote the lieutenant: "I am writing to thank you for the service that you ren dered me. Since receiving my ground lens for the bombsight, my proficiency has increased. I no longer have the strain and poor results I had been getting. . . . In time I am sure that many good men with poor eyesight will have no trouble qualifying."

Roy Ward, president of the Oregon Filbert commission, said the president's action "was not based on facts, but on political considerations." up of loyal Viet Nam troops. I Capital Journal, Salem, Ore,, Tuesday, October 21. 1952 9 An increasingly great enort i being made in both Indo China and Korea to turn asi much of the fighting as pos sible over to native forces. The Viet Nam army now stands at four divisions and two more are forming. The French expect to be able to pull two of their own' battal ions out of th- country by Christmas, as the Viet Nam army grows. But, meanwhile, just as the truce lull in Korea enabled the Reds to build up their forces there, so has the rainy season aided them in Indo-China. They now have about 400,000 regu lars and auxiliaries and are capable of massing 30,000 to 40,000 men for a single battle. In the Tonkin Delta region, where last week the outpost fortress of N'Ghialm fell, the Reds are supposed to have about 50,000 men inside the French perimeter and another four divisions outside. So it was bad news last week for the French in Indo-China where another expensive war drags on endlessly, pending a global settlement between the totalitarian and democratic worlds. Filbert Growers Sore at Truman Portland W Filbert grow ers of Oregon Monday said they were disappointed in President Truman's rejection of an import quota on shelled filberts. The quota plan, recommend ed by the tariff commission, would work a hardship on Tur key, the chief source of import ed filberts, the president said. He said the program would re duce Turkey's annual dollar earnings by 1 millions. John Trunk, manager of the Northwest Nut Growers' asso ciation, said "the president ap parently is putting the welfare of the Turks ahead of that of Oregon and Washington growers."
