ANAHEIM THE OLDEST NE VOLUME LXXII ANAHEIM, ORA The Inside Lieut. Col. Smith To Speak At Elks' Flag Day Program Here CYPRESS WILL Never had much use for anyone who went around looking for a fight. Confidentially I've always hoped such yahoos would eventually end up by getting the boom lowered on them and their block knocked off—which they eventually do. Neither is there much sympathy to be wasted on anyone who won't fight—or who won't get ready to fight when he sees one coming. Yet that's the ease in Anaheim right now. A situation that is not caused by cowardice — but by public apathy on the part of men hereabouts. For six months now, we've had a fight coming. It may never get here, but if it does, it'll come right in our front door and smack our teeth out. I'm talking about the much dreamed up, talked of, oft promised invasion of continental United States. To the casual observer it must be obvious that should it ever come to pass, we're all going to Lt. Col. Raymond Smith, a former Anaheim man now stationed at Camp San Luis Obispo, will be the main speaker at the annual Flag day celebration sponsored by the Anaheim Elks club Sunday at 8 p.m. in the clubrooms. Participating in the program will be local boy scouts and many patriotic organizations of northern Orange County. The public is cordially invited and is especially urged to attend this year by Leo Friis, chairman of the event. Also on the program is George Holden, past exalted ruler, who will give the history of the flag. Lt. Col. Kirby Barnes, a businessman in Anaheim a few years ago now stationed at Los Alomitos, was present for reinstatement in the Anaheim lodge at its meeting last night. Announcement was made of the annual stag barbecue June 21 at Shell park in Brea hills. Gil Kraemer, Gene Arroues and Oscar Schneider are in charge and are planning to barbecue 350 Old Timer, Mrs. Nebelung, Passes One of Anaheim's real old timers passed away this morning. She was Mrs. Josephine Nebelung, 84, who came to Anaheim in 1878 from Oregon and lived here continuously until her death at her home at 812 Sycamore street. She was born in Missouri and was the wife of the late Max Nebelung, rancher and civil leader in Anaheim. Their original ranch was on South Lemon street. Surviving her are a son Raymond of Berkeley; and two daughters, Mrs. Elsie Skinner and Mrs. Violet Cantwell, both of Anaheim. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. at Backs Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary with Rev. Thomas Walker of San Clemente officiating. Burial will be made in the Anaheim cemetery. For six months now, we've had a fight coming. It may never get here, but if it does, it'll come right in our front door and smack our teeth out. I'm talking about the much dreamed up, talked of, oft promised invasion of continental United States. To the casual observer it must be obvious that should it ever come to pass, we're all going to be right in the middle of it; we're all going to have a personal and very realistic part of it—unless we choose to run away. And sad but statistically we're going to be woefully unprepared among the ranks of our civilian combatants. The reason for this statement is the fact that for months now, the Anaheim company, State Guard has been trying to fill out its reserve ranks with men between the ages of 18 and 45. At the present rate, they'll still be trying years from now. For two weeks local organizers have been attempting to organize (Turn To Page 2) "Night In Park" Program Given Program for "Anaheim's Night In the Park" to be held at the City park, Friday, June 19, were announced this morning by Councilman H. E. W. Barnes of the Municipal Park commission.

SAVANNA GRADUATION Three girl graduates, Norma Ruoff, Janet Streshley and Sophia Acosta, received their diplomas at a formal ceremony at the Savanna It Is Hardly Enough It should be with no ordinary feeling that we, on Sunday, pay special tribute to the Stars and Stripes. Sunday is more than a mere holiday this year—it is Flag day, 1942! It is a day on which we may renew our pledge of allegiance to the cause of freedom for which the colors stand, the self-same cause for which Americans today are fighting and dying on distant battlefronts. For this reason, it is hardly enough that we display the Flag Sunday, and haul it down Sunday evening promptly forgetting the principles for which it stands. That would be much like an "arm-band" brand of patriotism that has no place in America today. And what does the Flag stand for? Among many things it stands for a united America—an America that will stand aside for nothing that forstalls victory. It stands for a just America—a country that boasts not as the Kaiser did in the last war, that "God is on our side," but one which knows that it, as Private Joe Louis said in a talk recently: "Is on God's side." It stands for a strong America—a nation that finds power to win this war on every hand. Over 600 Children Expected It stands for a just America—a country that boasts not as the Kaiser did in the last war, that "God is on our side," but one which knows that it, as Private Joe Louis said in a talk recently: "Is on God’s side." It stands for a strong America—a nation that finds power to win this war on every hand. Over 600 Children Expected To Attend Church School Fourth annual vacation church school in Anaheim will begin Monday at the host church, the Church of Christ, Broadway and Helena streets, according to Rev. Don Earl Boatman, pastor of the church and general superintendent, this morning. The school will last for two weeks. About 600 were enrolled last year. More than 70 superintendents, teachers and helpers will work in the school, which is sponsored by the Anaheim Ministerial union and the Anaheim Council of Church Women. A bugle call at 8:55 a.m. will start the day's program, followed by Bible stories, songs, handcraft, special features and class room work where the life of Christ will be studied. ADMISSION FREE Admission is free and is open to all boys and girls from the ages of 4 to 14. A bus will run west to Lincoln to Cypress to carry all who care to enroll from west of Anaheim. A new feature will be the nursery school to care for small children of the workers under the direction of Mrs. Ola Essary. Enrollment will continue all week at the Church of Christ between the hours of 3 to 5 p.m. and all day Saturday. Buttons and points will be given to all who bring friends to enroll. Points will be counted toward winning a very handsome award to the outstanding students of the school. Assistance On Price Regulation Offered Anaheim businessmen struggling with rules and regulations pertaining to the OPA price freezing and "ceiling price" orders today, were offered qualified help today by the local Chamber of Commerce. "Any and all problems dealing with price regulation, display of 'ceiling prices' and the like," Secretary John Johnston said, "can in most every case be answered from information we have here at the Chamber of Commerce. "If they can't," he continued, "we make weekly pilgrimages of OPA clinics and can secure the information quickly for anyone requiring it." ZETTE 72nd YEAR 11, 1942 NUMBER 37 building In City Fails To Respond To Priority Return; No Home Permits Issued In May Anaheim builders paused to consider today that if it isn't one darn thing, it's another. For nearly two months, their chief concern, and gravest worry was that the city, neatly severed from the Los Angeles Defense housing area, would be without permission to continue in the construction business until after the war. May 9 the area was reinstated by Federal authority, and this week, additional confidence was given local contractors with the statement that we are also considered a part of the newly formed Santa Ana Defense housing district, but there is still little joy to be discovered here. For according to the City Building Inspector this morning, May building permits, those since the reinstatement, amounted to only $4.467, and did not include one single permit for a new home for anyone. Reason for the lull is placed with several causes, such as the GIRL SCOUT camps offer peace, health, and comradeship to thousands of girls who are growing up in the shadow of war, and here is a scene from one of them similar to the one at Jenks lake which will be attended this summer by girls from six Anaheim troops. Anaheim Girl Scouts to Attend Camp Six Anaheim Girl Scout troops will leave with Whittier Girl Scouts for summer camp at Knicks lake Monday, June 22, or two one-week periods, according to an announcement day by Miss Nancy Hargrove, director of the camp. Busses will pick up the girls front of the Boy Scout house Chartres street at 8 a.m. Counsellors will be Miss Adah Louise Wilcox and Miss Nancy Webb. Camp nurse is Miss Dalaide Price. Each scout is asked to wear an identification badge. Plenty of provisions will be on hand in case of an emergency and girls will not be sent home in case of disaster but will be kept at the camp, which is under the jurisdiction of Foresby supervision. It was announced that the director of the camp will keep in touch with Mrs. Roy Belsing, Anaheim Girl Scout commissioner. Swimming Instruction Begins Tuesday; Plunge Safety Equipment Approved Swimming classes will begin Tuesday at the Anaheim city plunge and will be given daily except Sunday and Monday, under the direction of Miss Dora Draper, graduate of the University of California, who will teach the beginners and intermediates, and Miss Jean Heying, who will take over the activities for children of preschool and elementary school age, for high school students and adults.

SWIMMING INSTRUCTIONS Swimming instruction will take place in the morning only and is a part of the recreation program offered during the summer. There will be planned and supervised DAYS, HOURS The days and hours for the various events will be listed very shortly.
