Jackson Successfully passing the state board examination for pharmacists when he had completed only four months of his first year as a pharmacy student was the accomplishment of Earle T. Jackson, proprietor of the Jackson Drug company, 217 East Center St. Nevertheless, Jackson finished his course and obtained his degree because he wanted to know everything their was to learn about his profession. The degree, incidentally, was awarded by the University of California in 1923. Jackson isn't quite a native son, he came to Anaheim from Los Angeles at the age of five years and that makes him a resident of 32 years' standing. He attended and graduated from Anaheim union high school, and during his last three years in school here worked part-time at Heying's pharmacy, where he received the practical experience that aided him in passing his state examinations so early. While a student at the University, he worked about six hours a day in addition to doing his class work. Shortly after his graduation, Jackson returned to Anaheim and established his business here because he thought this city offered exceptional possibilities.

Maybe the University of California would win the top spot in his affection because it was from that school he received his bachelor of arts degree. As a lad, Henry's record at Anaheim union high school was of the best. From there he went to Fullerton junior college before moving on to the universities. He studied law and civil engineering, but when it came time to choose a profession, Henry went into the pharmacy business. But to prove his versatility, Henry sold his drug store interests several months ago and opened his Henry's Drive Inn on 101 Highway. Henry is a member of one of Anaheim's old families. His grandfather, Capt. Alexander Henry, was one of this city's outstanding characters in the years before the turn of the century. He was a great traveler and collector, traits which his grandson inherited. George Henry has numerous antiques and museum pieces, including a Scotch music box more than 100 years old; several Eskimo bowls and arrows, 75 years old, and 35-year-old Scotch kilts. When not collecting antiques, Henry likes to do a little deer hunting and deep sea fishing. One of the outstanding events in Henry's life was a trip he took through the south, visiting many (Continued on Page 4) Stolen Car Figures In Mishap Mystery Anaheim police, answering a call to an accident on North Los Angeles street early Saturday morning, faced a temporary mystery when they discovered a wrecked and deserted automobile.

Laws have changed. Science, industry and mechanization have made fast strides in every phase of business and life. Much has changed. But people remain the same—and today as generations ago, we still are thankful for the land we live in. For the religious freedom that was made our heritage by those first Americans—emigrants all, from lands of persecution. History has seen many changes. But to us in America, there is still much to be thankful for.

"Everything over here goes more or less as anticipated. Perhaps next year things will go better and the end will be in sight. At least, end of war, but the beginning of the hard and difficult task of recivilizing central Europe." “This is a crusade rather than a war. Your people over there are at last beginning to realize it. The Germans have planned this now for seven years and were prepared for it. We have hopes of beating them in two years. So the myth of the German invincibility will be broken for all time. They have failed in peace, politically and economically, and will also fail in war, but it will take a long, long time to counteract all the Nazi treachery unless a whole generation and even two of the German generations are exterminated. The majority of them are sheep and don't reason or think and don't get any true information. "The sooner the election is over and the U.S.A. accepts their world responsibility, the better."
