Page Six of the ANAHEIM GAZETTE THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1942 Fourteen Anaheim Men Enroll In State Militia Meeting Last Night Fourteen Anaheim men enrolled in the State Militia last night at a meeting in the Greek theater of the city park. About 22 were present to hear a discussion led by C. V. Curry, assistant militia enrollment officer, concerning the duties and the purpose of the organization. It was announced that another organization meeting will be held in the council chambers of the city hall next Wednesday night. Either Harold Wahlberg, enrollment officer, or Mr. Curry will be present. According to officials, 106 men are needed to form a company, 74 for a smaller company and 26 for a platoon. It is believed that a platoon will be formed at this meeting. TWO MORE UNITS In other parts of the county, two more units were completed. Garden Grove men elected Irvine F. German as temporary company Commander. In El Modena, the unit elected Otto Puchert as commander. Licenses were previously granted to five other units—Santa Ana, Cypress, Bulaa, Tustin, and El Toro. Training meetings are being planned for these companies and members will be instructed in the technique of handling invading parachutists, scouting, sniping, camouflaging, use of hand grenades and dother details of guerrilla warfare.

Dr Seuss Buy WAR SAVINGS BONDS & STAMPS U.S. Treasury Department $50,000 for one 90-millimeter anti-aircraft gun sounds like a lot of money, doesn't it? But this type gun is a real "plane-crasher"—one shell from it can smash a half-million dollar Jap bomber quicker than you can swat a fly. This Space is a Contribution to America's ALL-OUT War Effort by Supposing That San Clemente Was Wiped Out Imagine reading the following government announcement in the Gazette. "All men of San Clemente have been shot. The women have been deported to a concentration camp and the children sent to appropriate centers of education. All buildings of the village were leveled to the ground and the name of the village was immediately abolished." Those are the words of an official Nazi statement issued a few days ago except that the town was named Lidice—a quiet little community of Czecho-Slovakia near Prague. IN LIDICE In Lidice (prounced Leed-est-say) men and women lived where their ancestors had lived for more than 600 years. A Lidice son brought his bride to his parent's home; his children were born in the same room where is grandfather first saw light. Above the roofs of the town rose the spire of St. Margaret's Church, a symbol of community faith since the church's building in 1736. In Lidice, a farmer with earth sticking to his boots greeted the coal-dusty miner who as a boy sat beside him in school. On a warm day the tapping of the shoe repairman sounded through an open door like a faint echo of the blacksmith's hammering. A store-keeper going to the tailor shop paused on Wilson Street—named for the American president—to gossip with a man carving wood before his front door. Children laughed and played or were drawn to the Nazis follow their policy of bloody vengeance—a policy which has meant the murder, in retaliation for the death of Heydrich, of more than 700 innocent men and women. So when you read or hear the name Lidice imagine what it would mean if San Clemente crushed to the earth, its scratched from all records bodies of all its men dumped a common grave, their widow prisoned, and the doubly-orphaned children in the hands of veins and merciless foreigners.

A store-keeper going to the tailor shop paused on Wilson Street—named for the American president—to gossip with a man carving wood before his front door. Children laughed and played or were drawn to kitchens by the sweet scents of the cakes their mothers baked. NOT EASY Life was not so easy after the German conquerors came. The men had to do what the rulers ordered. Limits were set on worship in the church and on schooling for the children. The women didn’t have such good things or much to fix for meals. But the people lived on, they worked, they loved, they dreamed—oppression had been upon them in the past but “Wilson” Street seemed a reminder that to a people of unconquered spirit, freedom at last returns. Then two men fatally wounded Reinhard Heydrich who, as Nazi “protector” of Czecho-Slovakia, earned the title of “Hangman.” That happened on a highway which doesn’t even go through Lidice. The Lidice people told the Nazi secret police that they didn’t know anything about the two men. GESTAPO AGENTS But the Gestapo agents learned that Lidice folk still dreamed of freedom. They claimed they found a radio, forbidden by German conquerors, arms and munitions. Several of the Lidice young men had escaped to join United Nations forces fighting the Germans.

THIS ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN COSTS $50,000 YOUR HOUSE may not be a military target, but bombs don't stop to inquire. Bombs don't ask your name or the names of your children, either. In this war, as in no other in history, we are all targets. Blackouts merge soldiers and civilians alike. "War is hell" . . . for all of us. And it is costly . . . for all of us. Who's going to pay the bill? Not only for the guns, but for the tanks and ships and planes our boys must have to smash the Axis? Who? Why, all of us . . . you and me and the man next door. Because we are all in this war, and because blood and tears and sweat don't mean a thing if they do not come from everybody. Everybody must put every dime and dollar he can spare into Bonds and Stamps, even if it means going without something else . . . realizing that we are apt to go without everything, unless we win. Remember you can start buying Bonds by buying Stamps for as little as 10 cents and that you get a $25 Bond (maturity value) for only $18.75.
