YWCA is going to be $1.37, and
is going to have to split several
difference ways to carry on the
various activities of the YWCA.
That organization, which soon
is to begin construction of a new
building here, has a program
that cares for everyone from the
school girls to the Golden Age
club members, made up of retired
men and women with time on
their hands.
On the staff of the YWCA are
three professional workers, this
including an execuive director,
young adult program director
and a Y-Teen program director;
one person working in the offi-
and a housekeeper. Their
total yearly salaries are $10,750.
In addition to the salaries
there is about $2,500 needed for
the upkeep of the building and
facilities, this also including the
utilities.
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.
There are clubs for business
girls, also, two of them in fact.
During the past year their mem
bership totaled 79 women. Tak
ing in an age group of from 18
to 35 years is the Co-Rec club,
which meets each Friday for
dinner and an evening of plan
ned recreation. Seventy-six per
sons took part in the activities
of this group. The Golden Age
club has a membership of 67
persons, about 25 of whom at
tend the meeting held every two
weeks. ,
The recreation program at the
YW includes a golf class parti
cipated in by 136 persons, :
sports group with tennis and
archery and other summer ac
tivities and 20 persons partici
pating and also a recreation
group for girls at Chemawa,
with 10 taking part.
Classes are also planned by
the YWCA These classes and
the membership of each are:
craft, 114; ladies day out, 46
English, 38; nursery, 23; Span
ish, 14; and bridge and lamp
shade making, 79.
Volunteers always assist with
the programs at the YWCA and
these include committee mem
bers, 71; council members, 72;
and advisers of clubs, 47.
Services offered at the YWCA
include more than a recreation
program and classes. Many per
sons each year reside there ei
ther permanently or as tran
sients. Figures show that the
YW had 40 permanent residents
and 244 transients.
Helping women find employ
ment is another part of the pro
gram for the local YWCA, and
the organiatzion works in close
cooperation with the employ
ment agency here. Two hun
dred and fifty applications for
work were taken by the YW
and jobs available totaled 200.
When it comes to girls getting
to go to camp the YWCA again
comes in with a helping hand
for thoses who otherwise would
not get to take part in camp
because finances are not avail
able. While the YW, itself,
does not give campships it con
tacts organizations and groups
who will contribute campships
for the girls.
Dirty Faces

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-

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:

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

ciation, said "the president ap
parently is putting the welfare
of the Turks ahead of that of
Oregon and Washington growers."
