ARE YOU READY TO HELP When a fellow offers to give us a helping hand, the least we can do is to give him our hand in return. We've been wondering lately, on hearing reports from the 20-30 club concerning the progress of its plan to aid Anaheimers in the nation's services, whether we've been doing our part. More than 150 letters were sent by the committee in charge to parents of men in the service. Only 19 were returned. All the committee asked was the names and addresses of local servicemen. All the club wants to do is to write these servicemen, find out what they really need and want, and to make every possible effort to get it for them and send it to them! Now, we're wondering if it can be possible that this idea isn't as deserving as we thought it was. According to present plans, if more responses aren't received this week, the whole idea will be given up. It's up to us. We owe a lot to the boys who have given up everything to aid in winning the war. Here is a chance to show our appreciation. The 20-30 club wants to help 'em, so let's help the 20-30 club. If any of you who are reading this now, have a brother, sweet-heart, cousin, uncle or husband in the armed services who was a resident of this city before his induction, send his name and address to the AAEF, P. O. Box 333, Anaheim. A deserving plan like this needs half-a-break. THE AMERICANS COME Who, having once heard it, can ever forget that poignant song of the First World War, "The Americans Come,"? But who would ever have dreamed in post-war years, that the song would have a new fervency and a new meaning in the present global conflict? But it is true. That cry, "The Americans Come" is again bringing new hope and courage to Europe. Those small countries, ground under the oppressor's heel, are imbued with this courage, for an-held points in France in the first all-American raids of the conflict. And not in Europe alone, are Americans dealing these bitter blows, but in the Pacific area and to the Japanese strongholds in China. And daily, more and more of America's forces are moving into these various scenes of action. We have no way of knowing as yet, of any of this city's intrepid youths are a part of this great advance.

But who would ever have dreamed in post-war years, that the song would have a new fervency and a new meaning in the present global conflict? But it is true. That cry, "The Americans Come" is again bringing new hope and courage to Europe. Those small countries, ground under the oppressor's heel, are imbued with this courage, for daily the roster of American soldiers arriving at those distant battlefronts, is growing by leaps and bounds. There were American youths in that famous Commando raid on Dieppe. American airmen are attacking Rommel's supply lines in the terrible heat of the African desert. They have blasted Germans. "Victory lunches" are now being served to war workers in one large company's cafeterias. For 30 cents, the workers can get a liberal helping of meat, fish or eggs; vegetables; whole wheat or enriched bread; butter, and milk or a milk dessert. The Wenchow district, scene of recent heavy fighting between Chinese and Japanese troops, is the world's oldest citrus producing area. In 1178 A.D., a Chinese civil official named Han Yen-Chih wrote three volumes on the culture of oranges near Wenchow.
