Flags of Freedom Despite the terrorism of the firing squad and the hangman, and the hawk-eyed vigilance of the secret police, Europe still has a free press. Little news-sheets, circulating surreptitiously through all of German-occupied Europe, proclaim both the widespread hunger for the real facts of the war and the unquenchable courage of those who support these papers. Editors and their staffs are customarily shot, if discovered. A person may even pay with his life for being found in possession of a copy of one of these secret journals. Yet the underground press survives, a brave flag of defiance flaunted in the face of Nazi tyranny. Papers may be suppressed and editors executed, but there are always others who quickly take their places and dozens of these newspapers continue to make their appearance in occupied Europe. Sometimes laboriously set up in type by hand, sometimes mimeographed or typewritten in duplicate, a single copy is sure to have hundreds or thousands of eager readers. Stealthily slipped under doorways at night, slipped between the covers of a Nazi book in a store, inserted—when chance and ingenuity make it possible—between the pages of the Nazi-controlled newspapers, or baked into a loaf of bread, no scheme that daring can suggest is overlooked by the standard-bearers of free press in the conquered countries. Needless to say, the Gestapo's zeal in hunting them down only reflects the success of these papers in sapping German morale; in exposing humbuggery, and in presenting a true picture of events. Truth is their part in the defeat of the Nazi regime. Unless You Don’t Care California’s registration of voters is at a level far below that of two years ago. Actually it comes even closer to home than that. Registration of voters in Orange county has dropped 14.4 per cent since the general election of 1940 according to a report made by County Clerk Basil J. Smith to the Secretary of State. For the general election in November, 1940, there were 81,951 registered voters in the county. As of last month, there were only 70,174 even though the population has increased 1.3 per cent according to estimates by the California Taxpayers’ association, and possibly much more than that. These are sad statistics for a state within a nation at war—a nation fighting for free government. This is an important general election year and in a few days—July 16—the books close for the August primaries. Good citizens who read this, and who have neglected to register, will mark that date—and get their names down ahead of the deadline, unless, of course, you don’t care. Do you? Horses To Help Navy Nursery More than 250 riders from California and Arizona will participate in the parade of the third annual Long Beach Horse Show this Saturday and Sunday at the Mounted Police arena, located between Spring and Carson streets, two miles east of the Long Beach Municipal Airport. Conducted by the Long Beach Mounted Police, the two-day show will donate half its proceeds to the new $20,000 Navy Housing Project nursery at Long Beach, financed largely by gifts from the combined Elks’ lodges of Los Angeles county. All service men will be admitted free to the Saturday show. The three and one-half hour will begin at 1 p.m. each day and will include field events, class judging, contests and calf-roping.

Increasing Capacity of Statewide Bank to Spur More War Production Bank of America Mid-year Statement Shows Progress The statement of condition of Bank of America as of June 30, 1942, shows deposits at the all-time high mark of $1,958,430,000, an increase of $272,942,000 over a year ago and an increase of $56,047,000 since December 31, 1941. Total resources were $2,143,202,000, a gain of $265,464,000 over a year ago. LARGE LOAN VOLUME Loans and discounts outstanding aggregated $889,353,000 which is $44,887,000 higher than a year ago. Since December 31, 1941, loans and discounts decreased $25,216,000, while bond investments increased $81,437,000. Earnings after operating expenses and accruals for taxes were $12,618,000. From this total $2,-133,000 was reserved for depreciation of bank premises and amortization of bond premiums and $2,053,000 was set up in reserves and applied to the absorption of losses or the revaluation of assets. After payment of $5,267,000 in dividends at the annual rate of $2.40 per share on the common stock and $2.00 per share on the preferred stock, and after profit-sharing bonus to employees, capital funds were increased from earnings for the six months' period by $3,119,000. This, with the divi- dend, is equal to approximately $4.00 per share per annum on the common stock. WAR RESERVES Following the policy previously established, one-half of the net increase in undivided profits was transferred to the war contingencies reserve. Capital funds, including reserves, now total $158,767,000, which is an increase of $2,024,000 for the year, after the utilization of $3,882,450 to retire 77,649 shares of preferred stock during the period, and after applying $842,000 of an unallocated reserve, previously set up for the purpose, to reduce the book value of certain banking premises, in addition to normal depreciation. WAR PRODUCTION President L. M. Giannini stated that the curtailed demand for ordinary civilian credit had made more funds available to finance war production. "We are continuing to carry forward our policy of unstinted support to America's victory program," he said.
