Sugar To Be Raised At Rate Of Half
Advance notices from the office for Emergency Management in Washington, D.C. today concerning the coming rationing for civilian use of sugar, scheduled for Anacheim and the rest of the nation indicated that sugar will be apportioned at the rate of one-half pound per person per week.
According to todays statement from the OEM, who will be in charge of rationing through schools:
WAR BOOK
"A war ration book will be issued for every man, woman, and child in the United States excepting members of the armed forces, inmates of institutions, and persons temporarily or permanently in hospital and convalescent homes.
"War ration book one will contain 28 stamps. The first few stamps will entitle holders to purchase one pound of sugar per stamp. This amount is expected to cover a two-week period."
AMOUNT ON HAND
"When applicants register, they will be required to declare the amount of sugar on

Why And Wherefore Of Jungle Warfare Listed Here By Military Officials
An insight into what is happening in jungle battlefields of the Far East is given in a factual disclosure by Army officials today.
United States troops require up to ten times the amount of supplies and transportation facilities as are called for by the Japanese thus making it difficult to get such equipment to distant points in a hurry, according to Army officers.
25-CALIBER
The Japanese soldier is equipped with a 25-caliber rifle against the 30-caliber rifle furnished US soldiers. He can, therefore, carry a fifth more ammunition for the same weight. He also carries rice, sugar, fish and medical loions that will last him for five days even if he loses contact with his supplies. Because his skin is immune to sunburn, jungle thorns and insect bites, he wears scanty clothes, further reducing weight.
On the other hand, the US soldier is trained to fight with heavy equipment, is led to expect good food and plenty of it, wears heavier clothing, and must be protecte from the sun and from the jungle insects.
LARGE NUMBERS
The type of equipment and ractions used by the Japanese have enabled them to get large numbers of men of critical points with a minimum of effort while the United States policy of furnishing soldiers with fine food, comfortable quarters and showers undoubtedly makes for better fighting men but makes rapid moving difficult.

ANAHEIM BOARD
'Tsk! Tsk! Says OPA To Razor Hoarding
Last week Anaheim men were seeking an answer to the complex problem of remaining clean shaven for the rest of the war in the face of an announced cut in the production of razor blades. "Patronize your barber," "pluck your whiskers," or "join a Dan'l Boone club and don't shave for the rest of the war," were several of the proposed solutions.
Most noticeable result was a reported run on drug counters to lay in a supply of blades that would outlast Hitler and then some. It didn't last long. Stores had plenty of blades.
For this however the office for Price Administration had a scolding today.
"There will be more razor blades manufactured in 1942 under the WPB order an nounced recently," the OPA said. "than in any year before."
According to information received here, the Anaheim Rationing board which currently dispenses tires, tubes, and automobiles will also be placed in charge of sugar after registration is complete through the schools.
Failure to disclose excess amounts of sugar on hand will result in a fine of $10,000, 10 years in prison, or both, it was stated.
"Like Fresh Fruit"
Local Firm Told
"The nearest thing to a fresh Valencia I have ever had the pleasure of drinking." That's what Private Woodrow M. Hodgson, had to say today in a letter to E.A. Silzle Corporation, concerning some of the local concern's juice products served to him by the Army mess sargeant at Ft. Greeley, Kodiak, Alaska, where he is now stationed.
Private Hodgson's letter concluded: "Being from Santa Ana, I was surprised to see the product up here. May it continue to come."
It's Victory book day tomorrow.
In his press conference this week President Roosevelt named tomorrow as Victory book day. He asked Americans everywhere to contribute as many books they can spare to the men in armed forces. The Anaheim library has been designated an official place where books will be brought from other college places in Anaheim.
The local Fox theater urging all persons who wish attend the theater tomorrow night to bring books and leave them with the ushers will in turn deliver the contributions to the library.
Miss Elizabeth Calnon, librarian stated this week that about books were collected by the ary during the last book sale. Over 700 were shipped in New York to the Army and Navy USA at San Diego and J. F. War delivered 80 books to the regional center. Several people brought in cash and asked library to buy books for them in service, Miss Calnon said.
Although many books have collected, more are needed to armed forces, Miss Calnon put out. And although tomorrow the official Victory book sale more books are needed even in the week from now on.

Japanese Here Warned To Get Affairs In Order Before Eviction Takes Place
With alien evacuation moving nearer daily, all Orange county Japanese were urged this morning by Vincent B. Hackett, representative of the Federal Reserve bank, stationed at the US Employment service, 501 West Fifth street, Santa Ana, to get their affairs in order before the notice to move is issued.
Hackett emphasized that all Japanese interests will be persecuted and the services of the bank are available in all matters pertaining to the selling, transferring, and storing of any property of the evacuees.
JAPANESE FARMS
Also located at the employment office is Lee Seidel, farm security administrator, who is available to discuss farm matters with Japanese residents of the county, and who has for American occupation and management, a large number of alien farms over the county. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Seidel said.
Meanwhile this week a spokesman for the Civil commission in charge of the mass movement sought to dispel rumors currently afoot that treatment of Japanese evacuees at Army induction centers discredited military officials and personnel in charge.
"Such persons speak without factual knowledge," the commission spokesman said.
RAINS CAME
Rainfall this week .98 of an inch of which came on Saturday, and .44 of an inch on Tuesday, brought the 1941-42 season total recorded at the Anaheim Union Water company today to 11.30 inches.
Although far behind last season at which time 32.45 inches had been reported on April 10, the latest percipitation in this district was sorely needed and was welcomed by farmers and growers alike.
