back from the battlefronts.
Back to the shopping, though.
It’s rather amusing to watch the
people shop, that is, if you’re not
one of them- It’s hustle here and
there and still maybe be too late
to find what you’re looking for. So,
you just buy something else and
go away as if it’s what you want-
ed to begin with.

transfers to other nations and con
versions to non-combat types. This
is more than double the pre-Pearl
Harbor fleet.
The fleet now has at least 21
battleships, including six 35/000
tonners and two 45,000 tonners.
The older craft have been mod-
ernized and are far more potent
fighting ships than they were
two years ago.
Four of the seven aircraft car-
riers with which the United States
entered the war were sunk in the
first year of combat. Now the
fleet has at least 20 combat car-
riers and a large number of es-
cort carriers built on merchatship
hulls.
Of the original cruiser force of
37 ships, nine were lost in the
Pacific. But these losses have been
more than replaced by new con-
struction. In the last two years the
Navy has launched 17 cruisers, in-
cluding the 26,500 ton super cruis-
er Alaska four 13,000 tonners, ten
10,000 tonners. and two 6,000 ton-
ners.
The number of destroyers built
has not been disclosed, but it un-
doubtedly is as large as the orig-
inal force of 171 ships. Subma-
rine production, too, has been sat-
isfactory.
Large num5eis or destroyer es-
corts and frigates, vital anti-sub-
marine vessels, have been built.

The musicale given by the En-
nis MacDowell Music Club, Sun-
day afternoon at the home of Miss
Willie Mae Rowe was a program
of unusual interest and the first
of several planned by the program
committee.
The inclement weather was soon
forgotten as the home, lovely in its
setting, radiated cheer and form-
ed a musical background for the
program which followed. The pro-
gram consisting of violin numbers
and choral numbers, sacred and
patriotic, was well planned and
well rendered.
Mrs. Keith Mulkey, Club Presi-
dent extended greetings. She ex-
pressed the belief that the club
through the extension of good mu-
sic was doing a small part in the
war effort; for as President Roo-
sevelt said, Entertainment is- in-
valuable in peace time and indis-
pensable in time of war.” Mrs. Eth-
el Fisher, program chairman, an-
nounced the numbers and intro-
duced the guest artist, Mrs. Ivan
Perry, violinist of Dallas. Mrs. Per-
ry with Miss Helen Newton, Dallas
accompanist, delighted the audien-
ce with their several numbers. She
is a violinist of recognized ability
and proved her talent by playing
with precision not only the dif-
ficult technical passages but the
lovely deep tones of her instrument
The club chorus, with Mrs. Sail-
ors White, accompanist, was direct-
ed by Mrs. Ethel Fisher and con-
sisted of the following numbers:
Mmes Roorbach, Bush, Rawlins,
Allen, Grant, Swindle, Mulkey,
Pgwell and Misses Lohr and Rowe.
