Yungbluth Marks Store Re-opening To Start Tomorrow to Fete Completion of Modernization Tomorrow, F. A. Yungbluth's furnishings store celebrates the virtual completion of extensive modernization activity by opening a store-wide sale. "Remodeling and decorating of the store is my way of expressing my confidence in the future of Anaheim," Yungbluth said yesterday in an interview with a magazine reporter. "We all know that conditions have been difficult during the past few years, but I have utmost faith in this community and I know we will soon gain see the prosperity that has marked most of the history of Anaheim." Modernization of the store was one thoroughly and completely. It includes a new marquee, new display windows, new or re-modelled show cases and cabinets, arrangement of merchandise to departments, complete fluorescent lighting of the store and windows and other minor improvements. Sun-Tan Glass Edging the plate glass of the display windows are sections of the new sun-tan glass which add greatly to the appearance of the building. A special feature of the display windows is the specially constructed backs which provide dorf, near Coblenz, in Rhine province of Germany. He came directly to Anaheim and has continued to make his home here. Many and varied are the activities he has engaged in for the civic betterment of Anaheim. As a youth he served for eight years with the California National Guard, rising to the rank of first sergeant. He saw active duty in San Francisco following the fire and earthquake there in 1906. Church Services WESLEY' METHODIST Rev. G. Carroll Rector, pastor, will preach on the subject, "The Responsibility of Privilege" during the morning services at 11 o'clock. In the evening at 7:30 o'clock his subject will be, "Profit and Loss." ST MICHAEL'S EPISCOPAL Sun-Tan Glass Edging the plate glass of the display windows are sections of the new sun-tan glass which add greatly to the appearance of the building. A special feature of the display windows is the specially constructed backs which provide separate and changeable sections which to place the displays of merchandise. Across the top of the marquee will be a large sign bearing the name "Yungbluth's" in steel letters fronted by fluorescent neon tubing. The sign will add considerable brightness to the appearance of Center Street during the evenings, Yungbluth believes. Installation of fluorescent lighting in the store was started sometime ago. Its completion makes Yungbluth's one of the few stores so lighted. Principal feature of fluorescent lighting is that it gives a daytime-like light and displays the colors of merchandise exactly as they will appear on the sunlight. Over 40 Years in Business F. A. "Fritz" Yungbluth started in business in Anaheim more than 40 years ago with the firm conviction that if Anaheim grew and prospered his business would grow and prosper. With that conviction in mind, Yungbluth has worked steadily and earnestly for the betterment of this community. Yungbluth started his career in Anaheim as a youth, as apprentice to his uncle, Fred Crist, a merchant tailor. He later purchased the business upon the death of his uncle and established the present concern. During the early part of 1902, Yungbluth and Louis Kroeger formed a partnership in a men's furnishings store, the former also continuing his tailoring business. After many years of successful partnership, Yungbluth and Kroeger foresaw that Anaheim was soon to grow large enough to support two men's furnishings stores and, as a result, they dissolved partnership and established separate businesses. Tailoring First Love In spite of the complete stock of nationally-known men's clothing now carried in the store, Yungbluth's first love still is tailoring.

He was appointed to the council in the fall of 1932 following the death of Mayor Fred Koesel. He completed that unexpired term and twice has been elected to succeed himself. He takes pride in the fact that every bit of the modernization work done on his building during the past month was the work of Anaheim concerns wherever possible, with A.C.Vary the general contractor. Large Sales Staff Yungbluth's customers are served by a staff of five men in addition to the proprietor.

Athletics Engage Chrysler Sunday East Los Angeles Club Bows to Anaheim Last Sunday By Score of 7 to 0 Paul Holloway and his Chrysler Motors baseball club comes to Anaheim's La Palma stadium next Sunday to tangle with Joe Huarte's Anaheim Athletics. The home-town crew took an easy 7 to 0 victory over East Los Angeles Merchants last Sunday afternoon, with Jim Glimpse, big left-hander Brea-Olinda high school hurler, doing the mound work. Although he has added several new men to his line-up during the past few weeks, Huarte hasn't stopped trying to build up the best team available for the summer campaign. Two new players, Stew Lewis of Whittier and Ray Amling of Orange, both of whom played with the University of California varsity this spring, will probably join the club next Sunday. Lewis is the son of Fay Lewis and rates almost as an Anaheim boy. Glimpse had no particular trouble with the East Los Angeles club last Sunday, allowing them only four hits. He loaded the bases in the ninth with two walks and a wild pitch, together with a defensive error, but got the side out without a run scoring. After picking up single tallies in the second and sixth innings, the Athletics put the clincher on How Goes World? By Austin Conover OLD GLORY—Flag Day this year holds a more profound significance than it has done for many a decade. The steady and relentless sweep of dictatorship over vast sections of the earth is good cause for us to pledge ourselves anew to the American flag. As a free people in a liberty-loving nation, let us highly resolve to keep the flag flying and to hold to those principles for which it stands. In the early colonial days, each state had a different flag. One of the most distinctive was that of South Carolina, emblazoned with a rattlesnake and inscribed with the words, "Don't Tread on Me." In 1775 the Continental Congress considered the question of a single flag for the 13 states. Later it was first raised by John Paul Jones on the "Alfred," flagship of the U.S. Navy. For a while a stripe as well as a star was added to the flag for each state admitted to the Union. But in 1818 the original 13 stripes were re-established to remain unchanged. Today, and every day throughout the year, Old Glory floats in silent majesty above our schoolhouses, public buildings and military barracks. It is a visible sign of our national unity. And we
