The Thrift Shop is being evicted because the new Hollywood freeway, crosses its present location. The Thrift Shop is almost entirely responsible for support of the Girls Club, which is not a Red Feather agency, and plans must be made immediately. $3 Per Square Foot This is a forthright appeal from the Assistance League to its friends. There are no prizes offered.

Contributions will be accepted in amounts to equal $5 a square foot, which is the estimated cost of erecting the building. Members will sell "square feet" of board (pasteboard simulated to look like wood) and each donor's name will appear on a permanent plaque displayed in the new Thrift Shop. I admire the directness of this appeal. The League has worked many years and daily accomplish is a south-of-the-Mason-Dixon girl, you know) and New York. Tony (Mrs.

And there's no reason why women architects should be a scarce item in the home construction field. That's how the handful of professional women home builders in the look at the construction picture here.

Sixty-three home3 were built "in one breath" from, three basic tj-pes and 18 elevations. Training Required Miss Connor admits that a woman must give most of her time to an architectural career from the time she begins her study, through her apprenticeship period and after she goes into business for herself. In actual time a girl must expect to spend seven years in training after high school and two years in apprenticeship before she can qualify for a State certificate necessary for operating her own office.

The American Institute of Architects list3 only 10 women architects in the State who are at work for themselves. Reason for the- reluctance of women to enter this field i3 the well-developed public opinion that architecture is a man's profession. Now it is asking help that the Thrift Shop may continue. For from this one source comes means to" aid the more than 1000 members of the club. Speakers at Session Mrs.

Mada Souden Walsh and Miss Kathryne Beynon added their remarks to explain the proposed Yuletide project. Others speaking in support of the project were Mmes. Grant Cooper, James Boswell, Forrest Murray, Alphonzo E. Bell and John Stahl. Mrs.

Architects Speak "Women are no longer a curiosity in the field," says Edith Northman, licensed architect in Los Angeles since 1930. "They are just as qualified after training to design in the many architectural fields as men." Rose Connor, Pasadena, architect, concurs with this opinion. Her main Interest is in designing a house in good taste, with an artistic effect, for little money. tvv.

Time for Iiretnes When your younger children express real doubt about Santa Claus, or begin to ask factual questions the time has come to answer them with directness.

Many parents believe the explosion of the myth will be a shock to their child. The only way you can avoid it Is to do what some mothers and fathers do they let Santa Clau3 be a lovely make-believe from the beginning. their mother or father. Definitely "No" is my answer. Here's a Fine Recipe for Rice Dressing BY MARIAX MANNERS The accompanying timetable for roasting turkey and stuffing recipe will help you with your Thanksgiving 1 dinner.

We dined Saturday evening with Dr. and Mrs. George of Covina and begged this wonderful recipe for rice dressing from our gracious hostess. She concocts it with a knowing hand and a dash of imagination, but the following proportions will produce one of the world's finest stuffings for the holiday bird. Brown Rice Turkey Stuffing (For 16-pound turkey) 16 cups cooked brown rice (6 cups raw rice, cooked) 4 cups fine cut celery 2 cups fine cut onion pound butter 2 teaspoons leaf sage, crushed Black pepper and salt to taste 2 cups chopped pecans (or filberts) 34 pound bulk sausage, sauteed but not bf owned 1 cup butter (op less, If sausage is fat) 4 eggs, beaten separately METHOD: Cook brown rice in boiling salted water until tender.

Drain and rinse well with cold water. Saute celery and onion in one-half cup butter until tender but not brown. Combine rice, seasonings, sauteed vegetables, pecans and sausage; blend well. Add melted butter, beaten egg yolks and mix. Fold in well-beaten whites.

Correct seasoning to taste with additional sage, salt and pepper if desired. That is, unless you are one of those mothers who "goes senti mental' over the myth, and tries all sorts of devices and gives "fibs" in answer to questions in order to prolong the belief de liberately. Doubt of Santa as a "really '2 JUST IN case our readers would like to know what goes on in Los Angeles, we thought we'd come to town for a spell and see for ourselves. We have no lieutenants to scurry about for us and must rely for news on purely personal observation. We like it that way because, brother, we shore do get around! NOT THE least of our recent pleasures was Monday night's premiere of "One Fine Day" at the Biltmore.

Still shaking the sand out of our ears from that blow at Blythe, we landed at the theater thinking that perhaps we might be about to witness an excerpt or two from Puccini's "Madame Butterfly." (Shows what a few days in the country can do to one's deductive reasoning!) NOT THAT it mattered. For we, like probably 99 of the first-night audience, would have gone to see Charlie Ruggles and Mary Boland.if they had opened in "Daddy Longlegs" or, in a once, special delivery air mail! HER EFFORTS paid off. For the Lord Chamberlain's letter says in unequivocal language that the editor of London's Daily Mirror had proved without doubt to the Dean of Westminster that the picture was a phony. AN EX-NEWSPAPERWOM-an, May Lawford says that it is just such publicity as this that' keeps the needle of misunderstanding in British-American relations. Much, she says, as if an English chorus girl's picture were published sitting on the United States Supreme Court bench.

WE CAN never stay away from Palm Springs very long, 6o it was natural that on our meteoric trip back from Arizona we would stop off there long enough to see a blistering court bout at the Tennis Club between Fred Perry and Gene Mako and to take in the Lanai Room there which recently has been converted into an art gallery for members and friends. THAT DESERT is booming. Commencing Friday and running for four" days, Hoberg's new Desert Resort at Borrego Springs will hold its opening, will include, among other things, the official installation of Mayor Frank variety show, had followed Fin-kel's dogs! Such is the drawing power of the beloved comedians. ENJOYING THEIR antics (and, incidentally, some awful good dialogue) were Charlotte Greenwood (herself no tragedienne), the Freddie Paynes (she's back from that eastern sojourn with all les enfants), Eleanor and Wayne Griffin, Mike Levee, Collette Lyons, handsome Maj. Alex von Dach-enhausen (as Alex Hall that boy is certain to cut a wide swatii in pictures) and Johnny Lindsay with Diana Lynn.

Carrol Naish, Newell van Derhoef, Keneth Hopkins (to admire his chapeau on Mary Boland) and many more. LADY LAWFORD got on the phone yesterday and told us that she had, right in her determined hand, a letter from the Lord Chamberlain apropos of the recently published picture of model Peggy. Maley on the English throne. Good Britisher that she is, Lady Lawford was appalled by such vulgar publicity and went into the matter at A i i 3 i Timetable for Roasting Turkey Weight Ready for Oven 8-10 lbs.
