THURSTON, Editor Los Angeles Trip (By Miss Irene Martin) This week's article will deal with several minor subjects, some of which may be of interest to you. First I shall tell of the entertainment world. Hollywood is not the glamor place we think it but simply a very in- teresting suburb of Los Angelea. It is, of course, a city in itself with modern shops, buildings, studios, etc. Tke Bel-Air residential district near by does contain some beautiful homes, but not the pretentious abodes we imagine the movie stars to have. As for the movie stars, themselves, they are considered as very ordinary people there. One day while we were eating at > drive-in restaurant, where you are served in your car, we saw Randolph Scott being served simil- arly a few cars from us. An interesting feature was the "Drive-in Theatre," where you sit In your car and watch a movie on the world's largest screen. An attendant places a loud speaker in each car and it seras peculiar to hear the voices 10 near and the pictures so distant. Here, I wish to mentiort visiting the brother of Mrs. Wm. Campbell of To- ronto well known in Eugenia, whom she has not seen for many years. He, Mr. Jas. Smith, I found to be a most interesting gentleman, who knew so much about the film indus- try. He, nearing eighy, still plays minor parts and may be seen as an English coach man in the picture "White Cliffs of Dover," which will soon be shown. At the "Florentine Gardens" I had serving. Its uniqueness has made it quite renowned. One day we w.nt out by the fam- ous Suntu Anita race track, now oc- cupied by the Army. In Griffith Park we went up a winding road to the Planetarium and from the height there, you get a marvellous view of all the cities and of the Pacific. In the Park, also, is an open air Greek Theatre and a bird sanctuary. At San Pedro is the harbor and Naval yards. It is a hub of activity there now. Near by is the basic training centre of Fort McArthur. All is not amusement, you know, and training for war is very much in the fore. Around Long Beach are hundreds of oil wells pumping through under- ground pipes to refineries or "tank farms" as they are nicknamed. At one place there is an oil well in the centre of the street; Ripley has written about it. I had the pleasure of reminiscing with "little" Freddy Large and his charming wife one evening at the home of my brother. I was also entertained at lumcheon one day by Mrs. Bruce, a si**er f th late Mrs. R. Park. Another place :' interest was O\- vera Street the ldest street in Los Angeles, with its old Spanish and Mexican shops. Another not-to-be- forgotten sight wae a military ceme- tery with its row on row of whit* crosses, a mile long and one-half a mile in width. Nearby, in beautiful trrounds, was a large Veterans' Hospital. It is impossible to tell you of everything, so next week I shall con- clude with my return journey up the coast and across the Canadian West. J. Camack Dies at lv imberiey (By Kimberley Reporter) Death again visited our connnunuy, taking one of our oldest and mo.sc, respected members, in the person of Mr. John Camack, after only one day in bed. He was in his i>3rd year. In his younge" years the late Mr. Camack was a faithful church at- tendant, but owing to some hardness of hearing, was unable to be there often. For a number of years he, with his family, resided in Kimiberley, leaving his farm on the Valley Road, near Union. He leaves to mourn his passing one son, Charles, of Anten Mills, two daughters, Mrs. P. McAllister of Wa- saga and Miss Edith at home, who kindly cared for her father. Mr. W. R. Buchanan conducted the service in the United Church Friday afternoon. The choir sang his favor- ite hymn "There's a Land That Is Fairer Than Day." Interment was made in Thornbury Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs. John Wickens, Fred Wickens, C. Press, Robt. Chard, Ed. Gorley and Wm Grieve. R.A F. Servicing Commandos Get Sicilian Airfields Ready in Record Time Funeral of Late D.

Two youni; Marines, who had received the Order of the Purple heart, were hon- ored there that evening for their bravery at Guadacanal. At the "Thearte M:irt'' we attended a per- formance of "The Drunkard," which has been played for eleven years and rach year become* increasingly pop- ular. This play hud its initial cur- tain in 1843 in New York, under the management of P. T. Barnum of circus fame. It was then taken quite seriously and is now presented exact- ly as it was ore hundred years ago. >!:iny of the movie stars have at- tended it over and over again and Lily Pons said "One of the most enjoyable entertainments I have ever attended." Other places of interest in Holly- wood were Earl Carroll's, the Troca- ders, Brown Derby and the Beach- comber's. The latter place is in South Sea Island style, the entrance being blanked by bamboo trees and sand bags. Inside, the ceiling is of wovn grass, and lighted by green and blue lights with mess coverings, and on the tables tiny oil lamps with straw sh.-ulcs.
