Hollywood, Calif.— Giuinn (Big
Boy) Williams, son of the ex-con-
gressman from Texas, not only is
one of Hoyylwood’s top pay featured
players, but one of the highest rank-
ing polo aces on i he Pacific coast.
An all-’round athlete, equally at
home in footba!l, tennis, swimming
and boxing as he is on the polo
field, be keeps in perfect condition
for the tough roles he invariably
plays on the sereen.
Born in Decatur, Texas, April 26,
1899, he is the son of Guinn Wil-
liams and Minnie Lee Williams of
San Angelo.
His father, an ex-banker and ex-
United States congressman, is a
West Texas ranchman and president
of the Texas Wool and Mobair As-
sosiation.
Guinn Jr. became known as “Big
Buy” when he punched cattle on his
father's ranch during school and

The skilled seanstresses are paid
$30.00 a month each, and the lesser

made are consigned to (he commodity
distributor, who parcels them out on
orders of the local relief office and
case workers. The average cost to
dale of items approximates 93 cents
and a large line of clothing acces-
sories is supplied, consisting of wo
men’s and children’s dresses, gowns,
slips and underclothing, and men’s
and boys’ shirts and pants. Stored
in the commodity room of the base-

be her own business manager and

with patterns from which to fabri-

she has contributed excellent service.
