Anaheim Personalities Robert A. Ermisch Anaheim has plenty of boosters, but if Robert A. Ermisch isn't Number One it would take the nicest kind of an instrument to determine the difference between him and the leader. Most of Ermisch's close competitors are Anaheim residents of long standing, but the proprietor of the De Luxe Cleaners has had only a little more than a year and a half to sing the praises of this community. Anaheim people first knew Ermisch liked this city when he landed here on September 20, 1939, after having travelled all over the United States looking for an ideal town in which to locate. Ermisch chose Anaheim, he said, "because it seemed like home; I liked the people, the city and the county, so I stayed here." Terre Haute, Ind., was Ermisch's stamping grounds before he came west. He was born in that city on Aug. 12, 1892, and attended schools there. When he finished school he became an apprentice to his father in the cleaning and dyeing business, and that occupation has been his lifework ever since. Ermisch's success in the business was instant and before long he served the Indiana State Association of Dyers and Cleaners both as secretary and treasurer and president. He also was sent to Washington by the National Association of Dyers and Cleaners as an instructor in the trade of dyeing, which, incidentally, he calls one of the outstanding events of his life. Ebell Club’s Hostess Day To Be Held Here April 6 Eighteen Business Houses of Anaheim to Participate in Special Event Next Week End Eighteen Anaheim business houses have already signified their intention of cooperating with the Anaheim Ebell club in staging a Hostess Day here on Friday, April 4, it was announced yesterday by Mrs. D. J. Youngs, president of the sponsoring group. Other merchants are expected to join in the project during the coming week. All of the stores will have at least one hostess, with an alternate, while others are having more, Mrs. Youngs said. The women are sending scores of postcards to their friends and acquaintances informing them they will be located at the stores during Hostess Day and asking them to come in and inspect the merchandise offered. The hostesses will also assist in saleswork. Stores already participating in the event are J. C. Penney company, the S. Q. R. store Epstein's Apparel shop, Lauretta Dress shop, Bank of America, Cone Bros.

Ermisch's success in the business was instant and before long he served the Indiana State Association of Dyers and Cleaners both as secretary and treasurer and president. He also was sent to Washington by the National Association of Dyers and Cleaners as an instructor in the trade of dyeing, which, incidentally, he calls one of the outstanding events of his life. One of Ermisch's early experiences in his vocation was that of dyeing army overcoats. "If I've seen one of them I've seen a thousand," he said. Ermisch later worked in the Peters plant in Detroit, working his way up almost to the top before quitting to return to Terra Haute to assist in his father's concern. Since coming to Anaheim, Ermisch has taken an active interest in community affairs. He is a director of the Kiwanis club and a member of the chamber of commerce, Northern Orange Credit bureau and Izaak Walton league. He is also a mason and shriner.

Morgan to write the county board of supervisors urging them to proceed with the project at the earliest possible time.

Morgan was named as Anaheim's representative on the executive board of the Associated Chambers of Commerce and a resolution was passed approving the organization of an Orange County Chamber of Commerce, with a director from each supervisorial district.

Porter Vaughn was charged with the defeat when he relieved Jack Knott in the fourth inning and gave up three runs during his three-inning tenure. Bill Beckman finished the game and limited the Sox to one hit. Julius Solters, Chicago outfielder, starred at bat with a long homerun over the left field wall off one of Knott's offerings. Phil Marchildon, Newman Shirley and Lew McCollum were the victims of some tough luck in the Seattle contest, holding the Rainiers to a total of three hits but losing nevertheless.

AIRPORTS ESSENTIAL Benefits which would accrue to Anaheim and the surrounding areas in event a major flying field was established in north end of the county were discussed by Frank Fletcher, one of the executives of Fletcher Aircraft corporation. This concern which originated in Orange county while Wendell Fletcher was aeronautics instructor at Fullerton junior college, is constructing a new type training ship and also conducts schools in primary and basic flying. The two Fletcher are brothers. "Every community is going to have to plan for an airport," Fletcher said. "In the plans, mistakes made by older airports should be avoided. One of these mistakes is that not enough area has been set aside for the fields." The speaker then outlined briefly the four types of airports: for use by the private fliers; for military use; for industrial use, and for transportation use. Fletcher spent some time discussing the possibilities in the field of air freight, which he said, will see great progress in the next ten years.
