M. (Society of Old Maids), Mr. Vernon Newton won a decisive victory over his opponent, Mr. Austin Scott, for Mayor of Greenville. Since 1934 Mayor-Elect Newton formerly of West- wood has been employed as a clerk of the Traveller’s Hotel in Greenville. He will assume the duties of office on August 1, 1939. The vanquished candidate in all pro- bability, will resume his position on the faculty of the Greenville High School, where he has been employed in the capacity of head athletic coach. Well Known Explorer To Visit Westwood Before leaving for South America, Mr. Tom Clark, well known explorer, will spend a few days in Westwood with his mother and friends. Mr. Clark se- cured fame in his explorations of Cen- tral Africa. Recently his interest has been centered in unexplored sections of Brazil. On Thursday June 20, Mr. Clark plans to leave for Los Angeles from where he will proceed by plane to Rio de Janiero. Retirement of Our Renowned Postmistress Yesterday marked the closing of Miss Eva Cyr’s term of office as postmis- tress of Westwood. She has served the public in more ways than one. Along with her regular duties as postmistress she has faithfully kept tab on every promising love affair in town, and has kept us duly informed as to the progress that has been made from time to time. She will be greatly missed by many of the local cronies. Sisters Meet After six years of separation, the Misses Irene and Minnie Martin met in San Francisco yesterday and arrived in Westwood today. Shortly after their graduation from high school with the class of ’29, Irene entered the San An- selmo School for Missionaries and Min- nie entered the Mount Zion School of Nursing in San Francisco. Since 1932 Irene has been doing missionary work in the Sandwich Is- lands, where the Zulus have peacefully submitted to her iron rule. In 1930 Min- nie followed the call of her country and as a Red Cross nurse went with the troops to the Mexican Revolution. The Misses Martin plan to be in Westwood at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Martin, until J'uly 8th.

THE CHIPMUNK Page Seventeen Former Westwood Athlete on Air Today The air will teem with excitement be- tween 3:00 o’clock and 5:00 o’clock this afternoon when W. O. W. will broad- cast the ice hockey game between San Francisco and Hollywood. Olympio Mazo, Radio Service An- nouncer of W. 0. W., will be at the microphone to give a word picture of the game. Hear the cheers of the crowd and get the thrills of the game from Mazo’s running account! Tune in at 3:00 p. m. Local Girl to Address Los Angeles Club Los Angeles, June 6, 1939. “The Ideal Kitchen” is the topic to be discussed by Mrs. Inza Cutler Phelan at a regular meeting of the Los Angeles Home Club on Wednesday afternoon, June 12, at 956 West Slauson Ave. Mrs. Phelan is one of America’s fore- most authorities in regard to the ideal arrangement and color scheme of the modern kitchen. The many models which have been displayed in the windows of Kum and Ceum, have been received with great approval by New York house- wives. About Town Friends will be interested to hear that Miss Ruth Green is at present en- joying the desert sun of Cairo, Egypt. Miss Green reports that the stability of the camel as a means of locomotion is unquestionable but for comfort the Packard still is favored. Miss Aleda Knudsen recently ac- cepted the position of head designer for Francines, Designer of French Gowns, San Francisco, California. Infatuated Driving Brings Fine of $25 Arrested on a charge of driving “while infatuated” Mr. Arnold Rosen- tretter appeared in traffic court at 10 o’clock this morning. Last evening at corner of Third and Delwood Mr. Rosen- tretter is alleged to have driven head on into the machine of Mrs. Clyde Vernon, formerly Miss Donalda Felion, of West- wood. Although the occupants of both machines escaped injury Judge Somer- ville stated that drastic measures must be taken to check the increase in col- lisions each spring due to reckless driv- ing. In the judges’ estimation the fact that the young man had his arm about a girl friend is a harbinger of spring. The defendant was fined $25 and re- leased. If you happen to meander through our local store the first part of the week, you will see a very comely young lady displaying her ability at flipping flap jacks for the world renowned, Aunt Je- mima’s Pancake Flour Concern. The jolly flipper is none less than our own Miss Hilda Ward of the class of ’29 to whom we extend our best wishes in her present undertaking. After a weeks vacation at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Mil- ler of this city, Miss Elba Miller has returned to the Ventura Reform School where she is employed as matron. Miss Fern Dixon has been busy in arranging for the Mid-Winter dance of Dolores Institute. This will take place Saturday evening at the Hotel Whit- comb roof garden.
