Red Cross , Clubs Join In
Conservation Of Material
Red Cross workers were commended at the Red Cross
meeting yesterday afternoon in the office of Mrs. Vallen-
tyne, faculty adviser of the club, for their efforts to meet
the present emergency. Mrs. Vallentyne warned students
that the work is only beginning, and that what to some
seems but school activity, is in reality deadly serious and
extremely important to those
Davis Represents
Citizen Committee
Ed Davis can’t seem to keep
busy — instigator and chairman
of PJC Defense Council, poli¬

benefited by the Red Cross.
New ideas were introduced to
help students in the conserva¬
tion of ordinary materials. It
was suggested that boxes placed
in strategic places about the
campus would remind students
that little donations help the
general cause. Responsibility
for placing and collecting boxes
for yarn donations was given
to The Club, under the direction
of Frances Swift. Donations of
used razor blades (useful for
their steel) are placed under
the charge of the Tanda Club,
with Carol Haas, president, as
director. Tentative plans were
laid for the suggested paper
drive to collect newspapers for
use of the Red Cross.
Mrs. Vallentyne also told the
assembled members of letters
received from the sailors in the
Naval Hospital at San Diego,
who had received Christmas
stockings sent by the PJC Red
Cross Club.

By way of collaborating
with their other PJC duties,
several instructors attended a
nine-hour course in Defense
Against Incendiary Bombs,
given under auspices of the
U.S. Army and the Pasadena
Defense Council. Teachers
passing an examination based
upon the course will be cred¬
ited as instructors in several
phases of controlling bombs.
Emphasizing need for speci¬
fic organization, a registration
of teachers was conducted last
week, similar to that of stu¬
dents held earlier this semester.
Indications of special training
desired or already completed
were checked by all registrants
in an effort to pool available
information.
Service at present is ren¬
dered also by many faculty
in supplying public speakers
able to provide lectures in de¬
fense subjects. Especially ca¬
pable in this field are Social
Science instructors, many of
whom have recently offered
themselves as aids . in the
cause.
