DAILY NEWS FEBRUARY 10, 1943 Large Crowd Bids Farewell to Oneida Soldiers Joan Valerie Brings Breath of Hollywood to Her Home Town Oneida county men loft horo last evening for pprvioo. cheered on their way by the good wishes and farewells of a large crowd of people who gathered at the Knglcs' club and at DIP North railroad station. The men upon assembly in the Eaglc-s 1 hull, gift packages prepared by the cant'een unit of the Red Cross chapter and distributed by the Service Men's Cheer club. They also received informative literature from the home' service division of the Red Cross on how to deal with problems affecting themselves and their families arising while they are in service. Atty.

Earl A. Korth. government appeal agent for the selective service system, expressed confidence that the Oneida county men would distinguish themselves in service and would hasten the day of victory. He admonished the "folks staying at home" that they must direct their daily living in such a manner as to most effectively support the departing boys, saying that "living and business as usual" must give way for active support of the war effort. He thanked the service men for their understanding and co-operation in the selective service process and assured them of the continuing interest of the system in their welfare.

A color guard of the Veterans of Foreign Wars led the departing men to the railroad station when the southbound train arrived and a large crowd of people accompanied the men to the station. Members of the draft board today expressed their appreciation for the co-operation of the crowd in avoiding congestion which, a month ago. delayed the departure of the Oneida cbntingent. Last evening the halls and stairways of the Eagles' club were kept clear and men were able to march quick- By THE RAMBLER They used to call her "Pinky" at Rhino-lander high school. But she brought a breath, in fact a whole atmosphere, of Hollywood i-nto the cafe yesterday afternoon.

She cut a striking WesU-rn i urc npr white wool dress with hand worked figures in powder blue mid navy. The impressive white turban i crowned her golden hair had a silver-dollar-sized aquamarine pin set I in its folds. Earrings matched the turban pin. She wore a huge 58 earn! aquamarine ring on her right hand and an eight carat blue diamond ring on the ring finger of her left. A gold wrist watch set with rubies and diamonds bedecked her wrist.

Her perfectly manicured ruby fingernails, upsweep coiffure immaculately tucked under her turban, and eyebrows drawn to a sophisticated hair-line all gave me the impression that Joan Valerie was a typical Hollywood glamour- gal. But while Joan Valerie, the former Helen Vlahakis. of Rhinelander. looks and dresses like the movie queen that she is. this reporter found her to be friendly, easy-to- meet and eager to chat about her girlhood friends here.

Greets Old Patron. This interview was held in a booth at the Rhinelander cafe which is owned by her father. She was sitting in a booth across from this reporter when a customer came in. Joan, or Helen, left the booth and greeted him warmly. I asked who he was when she returned.

"Oh, he's a customer I used to wait on when I worked here." she replied with a smile. In the most tactful manner I knew. I asked her if her background as an ex-waitress had hindered her socially in Hollywood. "I'm proud of having been a waitress here," she answered.

Joan Valerie, or Helen Vlahakis, has none of the sham or false veneer used to impress movie fans. I kidded her that she was once known as "Pinky" to her schoolmates here.

3. Flatten cans by stepping on them. Do not hammer them. 4. Keep prepared salvage cans in a suitable container so that you can deliver them.

The salvage chairman advised that only good cans should be prepared. Paint, oil, varnish, floor polish and cone "cans cannot be used and evaporated or condensed milk cans are not worth saving, he said.
