DEWEY’S VICTORY A FADING MEMORY Startling events which are happening daily in a_ rapidly changing world, tend to dull the town. Mrs. Eva Warner of the Recrea- | tion Department and her assist- ants have worked untiringly to make this affair a success. Guards’ For Service Men After an hour of bingo, the} WPA recreation staff will take over the dance program, with} Miss Beatrice Moreno at the| piano, the newly formed WPA} recreation musicians’ group and ‘an organist. Mrs. Eva Warner and Defense} Co-ordinator Marvin Lewis, WPA. recreation directors, said today every effort will be made to con- tinue the dances as a weekly fea- ture of the entertainment pro- gram. Mys. Warner, Mrs. I. R. Rutt, Mrs. M. Pierce, Mrs. P. L. Parra and a group of atmy wives will supervise the dance. eee ne Some citizens of Cavite are employed in the navy yard | there.
