John Hart Wins Cup, Ribbons In Dahlia Show Eighteen ribbons and the coveted Kiwanis cup rewarded John C. Hart of Knott's Berry Place, for the many fine dahlias entered from the well-known Berry Place in the first annual show of Orange County Dahlia association held Friday and Saturday in Santa Ana. The show was an outgrowth of an annual dahlia show staged by Santa Ana Kiwanis club over a period of several years. It had become so successful that it was decided to make it a county-wide event, open to anyone interested in fine dahlias. The parent organization awarded a silver cup for the best undisseminated seedling, which proved in the opinion of competent judges, to be the handsome rose pink bloom entered by Hart. The latter placed second in the number of ribbons won, first place having been taken by Dr. G. Emmett Raitt, a member of Santa Ana Kiwanis and one of the sponsors of the annual show. Raitt also won a $25 War Bond for the best dahlia in the show, a Pink Ambassador. Judges were three experts, Dr. F. E. Cannon, Los Angeles; Mrs. A. G. Jefferson, Inglewood, and E. E. Jones, Bellflower. The wealth of fine blooms, admired by hundreds of visitors from all over the county, later were sent to Santa Ana Air Base to decorate the chapel for Sunday services. Orange County Man Included In Great Making Survey of Southland Manpower Anaheim's man power — and woman power as well — is to be recorded down to the last adult in the city, in line with every city, village and community in the Southland, if plans formulated at a meeting of the War Manpower commission in Los Angeles, go into effect as expected. William K. Hopkins, regional director of the commission, announced the movement as a means of checking the physical qualifications of all adult citizens in order to determine their place in the nation's war effort. A. J. McFadden of Santa Ana was one of ten well-known Southern Californians named as a committee to aid in the solving of war effort problems arising out of the labor shortage. The program which this committee will aid in putting into effect will have as its preliminary, the card-indexing of every adult with a list of individual qualifications for determining his or her place in the nation's war effort. The 10-point program to be put into effect includes: (1) To provide the necessary man power for war production jobs and for the armed forces as effectively and efficiently as possible. (2) To see that individuals are directed to those jobs or assignments where they can be of greatest assistance to the war effort. (3) To insure the complete registration, recruiting and orderly referral and training of all available and potential workers in the community. (4) To see that the best possible preparation and training can be offered to potential war reduce immigration and promote the consequent problem of immigration and transportation. (8) To prevent delays induction growing out of exile turnover and absenteeism. (9) To implement this program by developing complete coordination between the various power agencies now operating in the community. (10) To obtain the active port of management, labor, government agencies and the general public in furthering this project. Suggestions Given On Apparel for Women War Work Suggestions on what women should and should not wear working in war industries made this week by Dr. B. P. Brown, director of the Department of State Office of Defense. "I make no claim to being arbiter of women's fashions," Dr. Brown, "but the rapid increase of women workers in yards, airplane plants and motion factories, make it necessary for me from a safety standpoint to offer a few helpful suggestions to these women." The physician said his suggestions on the proper wearing apparel for women workers are based on clothes are practical, comfortable and tractive. His suggestions for 1. Wear uniform type of apparel such as slack suit, shirt and tucked-in shirts, or cover minus loose cuffs or pockets. Judges were three experts, Dr. F. E. Cannon, Los Angeles; Mrs. A. G. Jefferson, Inglewood, and E. E. Jones, Bellflower. The wealth of fine blooms, admired by hundreds of visitors from all over the county, later were sent to Santa Ana Air Base to decorate the chapel for Sunday services. County Indigent Aid Figures Show Drop From Last Year July figures on indigent aid extended in Orange county have just been given out by California Taxpayers' association, following a study of the trend of indigent relief for the last fiscal year. Aid was given in this county to 172 cases, a drop of 93 from the peak load of 265 cases reached in August, 1941. While August of last year registered the highest number of cases to whom aid was given, the following month of September showed the highest expenditure when the sum of $6,413 was distributed among those on relief. July figures this year showed that aid extended totalled $3,586. "Demands for manpower in both the armed forces and war industry, are opening jobs for many men and women who formerly were dependent upon relief" the association declared. "County aid during the present period of heavy demand for workers can be cut back so that it will be given only to the few who cannot support themselves. This will remove a burden from the backs of the people." Plan Observance Of Admission Day San Diego has been chosen as the scene for the official state observance of Admission day on September 9, according to announcement just made by Lloyd J. Cosgrave of San Francisco, grand president of Native Sons of the Golden West. Native Sons and Native Daughters will be sponsors of the celebration, which was set for San Diego to cooperate with that city's quadricentennial celebration. Contrary to custom, the two host organizations are not urging members from all sections of the state, to attend the celebration. Grand President Cosgrave declared that the university is efficiently as possible.

(3) To insure the complete registration, recruiting and orderly referral and training of all available and potential workers in the community. (4) To see that the best possible preparation and training can be offered to potential war workers so they can assume responsibilities as rapidly as possible. (5) To see that all necessary steps are taken to use manpower at maximum skills and to see that nonessential men, available for war service, are replaced by women and other groups as rapidly as possible. (6) To secure the voluntary transfer of skilled workers from nonessential to essential occupations. (7) To see that the total labor supply is utilized in an effort to Oregon’s Timberline Lodge to be Closed Anaheim vacationers who in the era of rubber, included Oregon's famous Timberline Lodge on 11,-000 Mt. Hood near Portland, as one of their vacation outing "musts," have learned with regret that the beautiful resort is one of the Pacific coast's war casualties. For the million-dollar Lodge will close its doors the morning after Labor Day. Timberline Lodge was built by WPA and placed under jurisdiction of the U.S. Forest service as the only government-owned project of its kind in the United States. It becomes a favorite spot for both summer and winter vacationers, but transportation difficulties arising out of the rubber situation, have cut the business 50 per cent this year. This fact, coupled with the difficulty of getting adequate help as employees entered war industry jobs, led the directors to close the Lodge "for the duration."

In normal years, colorful pageantry and procession from San Gabriel mission to the Plaza in Los Angeles have taken place. Anaheim, once a part of Los Angeles county, has always been interested in the celebration. Miss Stoermer stated that the "birthday party" will be held in Olvera street, early-day pueblo lane now preserved as a Mexican street market, with the lighting of 161 vigil lights at the sundown hour. "Women of the Auxiliary," Miss Stoermer said, "will coordinate local historically-minded groups to stage a colorful reception for city fathers and pioneers, to be followed by a stellar anniversary program. As a gesture of good will between Los Angeles and Latin-American nations, the program will be broadcast by short wave to our southern neighbors.

Official Because of the fact that Anaheim, like other cities of this area, is served by the Outfall Sewer district, interest here was keen today in the report that the district's consulting engineer, John L. McBride, had been asked by Mayor Joseph P. Smith of Santa Ana, for his resignation as Santa Ana's city engineer. According to McBride, he was given no reason for the request, and received only three days' notice for the loss of the post which he has held for many years. Mayor Smith declined to make "Thumbs Up' For The City's Finest Anyone who ever played that favorite game of childhood. "Simon says thumbs up," will agree that members of Anaheim Police department have an unusual equipment with which to play, from Police Chief J. S. Bouldin down. For all the officers have reproductions of their thumbs, carefully done in wax, recording every print and whorl more fully than the most approved finger-printing method. When taking demolition and bomb work, the men learned of this modern way of taking casts of thums, and reproducing them in wax as a means of establishing identity. So if you chance to visit the department and are handed a little tissue-wrapped package, don't be surprised to find within, a very realistic thumb, complete even to red ink "blood." Those with a weak heart are advised against opening the package too suddenly. Farmers Attend Whittier Meeting Last Saturday Thirty or more farmers from the Anaheim area were present at Saturday's inter-regional meeting of the Farm Bureau, held in William Penn hotel, Whittier. Among resolution adopted was that urging all orange growers to vote on the citrus marketing referendum which was in effect at the time. Other agricultural problems were basis for resolutions, one asking that increased labor and feed costs be taken into consideration in future price-fixing activities. Another urged a Missionary Talks On Evacuation From Burma Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Horton, recently returned missionaries from Pyinmana, Burma, who evacuated from there during the Japanese invasion and made the trip to New York with their two year old daughter, were honored at a reception at Calvary Baptist church last night. Following a covered dish dinner Mr. Horton was introduced by Rev. Earl R. Berg, pastor of the church, who, in his introduction, stated, "Although they were forced to evacuate from the east, the work of the Hortons in this country is of strategic importance. The missionary spirit is greatly needed to bring about the proper attitude after this war." Mr. Horton spoke on his work in Burma and traced the progress of their evacuation through 100 miles of mountainous country from a Japan infested city to a boat loaded with 400 missionaries like themselves, and on to New York. At the close of the evening, Rev. Berg presented the honored guest with a purse, made up by members of the church. The Hortons have been in this city for about a month and expect to divide their time between here and Riverside, the home of Mr. Horton's parents.

McBride, had been asked by Mayor Joseph P. Smith of Santa Ana, for his resignation as Santa Ana's city engineer. According to McBride, he was given no reason for the request, and received only three days' notice for the loss of the post which he has held for many years. Mayor Smith declined to make any public statement in regard to the matter, but unofficial reports from Santa Ana city hall hinted that the requested resignation was an economy measure. These reports were to the effect that plans were under way to consolidate the office of city engineer with that of the water superintendent and a registered engineer, in charge of both. Binoculars Needed For U.S. Navy Use An appeal has been addressed to Anaheim residents, as to all Southern California cities and communities, for the loan to United States Navy of Bausch and Lomb or Zeiss binoculars, either six power, 30 millimeter or seven power, 50 mm. Since the Navy is not free to accept gifts or loans, it will pay one dollar each for all such binoculars offered. Then if they are available at the close of the war, they will be returned to the original owners. The one dollar paid will be considered as rental and depreciation charges, Navy officials stated.
