Free Methodist Conference Opens Today In Church Host city to scores of ministers and church workers of the Southern California conference Free Methodist church, Anaheim today is preparing to welcome still more delegates and workers who will arrive for successive conference program events to be held in Anaheim Free Methodist church, West Broadway at Clementine. For many weeks past, the Rev. Bergen Birdsall and his congregation have been devoting their time to completion of the new decorative plans for the interior of the church building, in order to have everything in readiness for the conference. Next Sunday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock, formal dedication services will be held in the church, celebrating the fine achievement of the pastor and his congregation of half a hundred members. This achievement is presenting a church absolutely debt-free. For in the three months that alterations have been under way, the congregation has raised and donated the sum of $6500, total cost of improvements. Today, the Rev. Mr. Birdsall was able to say with pride, that Plasma Unit Comes Friday For Fifth Visit To This City Just about the most important "banking" that Anaheimers can do is scheduled for tomorrow, and Anaheim chapter American Red Cross is reminding all the city's generous blood donors of the need of making their fifth contribution to the essential blood bank. The plasma bank mobile unit comes here tomorrow, and will have its customary headquarters at Ebell clubhouse. Donors have been communicating with Red Cross headquarters, 129 West Center street, for the past week, registering their names as contributors. One hundred blood donors are needed for this fifth trip, and Red Cross workers feel convinced that city will maintain the splendid record achieved on the four previous visits of the mobile unit. For the local chapter has the distinction of being the only Red Cross chapter in Orange county that has filled its quota on previous visits of the mobile unit. REV.

For in the three months that alterations have been under way, the congregation has raised and donated the sum of $6500, total cost of improvements. Today, the Rev. Mr. Birdsall was able to say with pride, that this has been accomplished without approaching the city's merchants for contributions. "Merchants are always called upon for such aid, until the drain on their resources is considerable," declared the pastor. "We felt that it would be unfair to ask them for more. However I am proud to say that several of them volunteered their aid." In addition to giving generously of money, members of the congregation also donated their time, so much of the painting, installing of equipment, and general refinishing was done by loyal men and women of the church. The pastor's wife, Mrs. Birdsall was one of the most active of his assistants. CONFERENCE PLANS In plans for entertainment of delegates, the church will provide rooms and meals free of charge. Local committee chairman arranging such details are G. E. Martin, housing; Mrs. Pearl Wheeler, dining room; Mrs. Birdsall, music; Mrs. Geneva Ward, menus; Nathan Lehman, ushers.

Recruits Needed For State Guard Men Wanted! That is a familiar sign at present, but Commander Ewald Lemcke and Lieut. L. N. ("Pete") Wisser of Company K, California State Guard, place special emphasis on the sign. They want to fill existing vacancies in Company K, created by the departure of many members for military service. Lieut. Wisser is recruiting officer, and has asked men interested in membership, to attend the drills held each Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock at the athletic field of union high school. Richard Mendoza Now Training at Corpus Christi This week when 68 young California cadets reported at the U.S. Naval Air station in Corpus Christi, Texas, for the final course of training that will lead to their coveted Navy wings, they included one of the native sons of whom Anaheim is so proud, Richard N. Mendoza, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy N. Mendoza, 837 South Lemon street. Richard Mendoza, a graduate of Anaheim high school, was in the senior year at USC, taking the prelegal course in preparation for his chosen profession of the law. But when the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor electrified this country on December 7, he declared immediately that he was going to enlist. He did so the following day, and was accepted for pilot training, but because he had so nearly completed his senior college year, he was advised to continue his studies and graduate with his class in June. Immediately after graduation, he reported for training at Los Alamitos Air base, where he graduated at the end of August. With that preliminary training successfully completed, he was detailed with the other California cadets to the Corpus Christi station. There they joined Naval cadets from 34 other states to form a new flight class and have already demonstrated their ability to handle primary training aircraft. The course which Cadet Mendoza and his companions must now master, will include theories of aviation warfare from radio code and machine gunnery to instrument flying. Later will come controls of tricky fighting planes practice bombing from swift dive bombers; following charted courses in observation scout planes, and patrol of waters in huge long-range flying boats. When this exacting course is completed, Cadet Mendoza and his brother pilots will receive their Lieut.-Com. Wood has been stationed at San Diego Naval base ever since his enlistment in May. The family home was formerly at 542 South West street, but Mrs. Wood and her small daughters, Rosemary and Jo Ann, will be in Ashdown, Ark., until they have some definite knowledge of whether Lieut.-Com. Wood will be detailed for foreign service or will remain in continental United States. Mrs. Wood's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Sanderson, arrived from Ashdown, and were accompanied by Dr. Wood's broth-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Raulton, also of Arkansas, for a few days visit in San Francisco with Lieut.-Com. Wood. They took Mrs. Wood and the two little girls north, and then all returned to Ashdown together. Draft Comes Closer To Married Men California married men between the ages of 20 and 45 may be subject to call for military service in November draft calls, according to a statement made by Major Kenneth H. Leitch of Sacramento, state director of Selective Service. Major Leitch declared that the supply of 1-A registrants is nearing exhaustion, and despite pooling eligibles between the various draft boards of the state, it will be necessary to summon married men if November drafts calls are to reach the size expected. He further stated that this will not apply to married men with children, but will apply to those with only collateral dependents. Sergt. Stephenson To Leave Sunday For Pensacola A radical change in his life work is indicated for Police Sergeant Mark A. Stephenson, who, after 14 years as a member of Anaheim's police department, has enlisted in the U.S. Navy, and will depart Sunday for Pensacola Field in Florida. Stephenson is going into the naval aviation branch where his rating will be as chief specialist in gunnery. He is the second member of the family to enlist within the last few months, for on July 8, Richard Stephenson, elder son of the home, enlisted in the Navy and has been stationed at San Francisco. Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson do not know the present whereabout of their son, but know that he has left San Francisco for active duty in the war zone. Mrs. Stephenson and her younger son, six-year-old David, will remain at their Anaheim home, 1114 Pearl street, for the present and young David will start to school this fall. They plan to join their husband and father after he completes his Pensacola training, if he is assigned to a post in the United States.

Army Libraries Ask For Use of Maps Anaheimers who own maps foreign lands, especially of the Orient and the South Pacific area have been asked to loan them temporarily to the U.S. Army according to CC Secretary John Johnston. Johnston explains that the request has come through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and that such maps would be copied for use in Army libraries, and then returned to their owners.

According to M. A. Gauer elementary school superintendent, the opening day will see a full enrollment, and the regular class schedule will become effective immediately. There are no present indications of any changes in the school bus schedules, which remain as they were last year. Of the rural schools in the Anaheim area, Katella of which Paul H. Blocher is principal, is observing the same opening date as Anaheim. Schools in the remaining districts, including Mexican schools in Stahton and Magnolia, had their opening on Monday of this week.

October To Bring Opening of Dirigible Base Shortly after the first of October, the U.S. Navy's new nine million dollar dirigible base now under construction just south of Tustin, will be in operation, making three such bases in California. Work on construction has been speeded up until the buildings already are far ahead of schedule. The contract was let to the James I. Barnes construction company of Santa Monica. Barracks for enlisted men are expected to be completed by the first of next month, making it possible to put the base into operation while work progresses on remaining buildings. These will be completed by early spring, allowing for full operation. Commander H. R. Coulter, USN, is the newly appointed officer in charge of the U.S. Navy Station, Santa Ana. He has declared that there will be no formal dedication ceremonies in connection with the commissioning exercises, but that Admiral R. S. Holmes, commandant of the 11th Naval District with headquarters in San Diego, has been asked to be present and speak on the occasion. Commander Coulter has been active in Naval affairs ever since Orange County Bees Fail To Get Down To "Buzziness" It really does seem as though California bees should be reminded of their patriotic duty. Just now when sugar is so carefully rationed, and when even housewife is advised to substitute honey for sugar in every possible manner, what do those unpatriotic bees do but lesse their honey production by 5 per cent! In fact according to Orange County Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg, it is possible that the total honey crop in California will not even reach 50 per cent of normal. He also states that reports from Oregon and Washington indicate a similar situation, although the Rocky Mountain states seem to have the average crop. So it looks as though someone would have to put the bee or these coastal bees, give them buzz and say, "Honey-comb you hair, wash your face, beehive yourself and get down to buzziness! Why be a drone? Give us the honey we need, and you be our queen bee for life." Sgt.-Pilot Mills Reports Soon For Merd Mendoza Training at Mas Christi Seek when 68 young Californians reported at the U.S. Air station in Corpus Texas, for the final course that will lead to their navy wings, they include the native sons of whom is so proud, Richard N.

Anaheim high school students have a little more additional freedom in order to aid in the county's agricultural industries. With Monday, October 5, set as the opening date for high school, they may begin registering on October 1 and 2, according to Principal Paul Demaree. Private schools of the city are already well under way. St. Cathereine's Military school opened on September 8 with virtually a capacity enrollment. St. Boniface started its school year last week as did Marywood Central Catholic High school for girls. Zion Lutheran school opened Monday of this week, with all classes now pursuing their regular routine. Thirty Days! Says Judge Kuchel To Tight Wire Walker Acrobatic feats amidst high voltage wires 160 feet above the ground may have afforded a thrill last week to Louis Antolin, Mexican of Route 1, Anaheim. But he will have the next 30 days in the county jail in which to decide whether his aerial circus was as much fun as he thought. For Antolin's escapade of climbing to the top of an Edison company tower in the Stanton district, was a violation of the penal code which prohibits tower or pole climbing on privately or publicly owned public utilities. So the acrobat was halled into Judge Charles Kuchel's court Friday, with the Edison company as plaintiff. Judge Kuchel had a new experience, because the Mexican, a deaf mute, could neither hear nor answer the charge against him, which had to be translated into the sign language by his brother. But even the sign language failed when Judge Kuchel pronounced sentence. Instead the brother USN, is the newly appointed officer in charge of the U.S. Navy Station, Santa Ana. He has declared that there will be no formal dedication ceremonies in connection with the commissioning exercises, but that Admiral R. S. Holmes, commandant of the 11th Naval District with headquarters in San Diego, has been asked to be present and speak on the occasion. Commander Coulter has been active in Naval affairs ever since his graduation from Annapolis in 1921, with duty aboard a variety of Uncle Sam's seacraft, including both battleships and cruisers. He was navigating officer aboard the Cruiser St. Louis on his most recent sea duty, and sailed from Pearl Harbor only a week before the Japanese sneak attack on December 7. Coming to the Orange county base directly from Washington, D.C., he has established his headquarters in Laguna Beach but will transfer them to the blimp base as soon as officers' quarters are completed. The station will number enlisted men, Marines and civilians in its personnel, although the number will remain a military secret. This same rule applies to operations and installations at the base, although it has been disclosed that present plans call for the installation of two hangars, whose ships will soon be on their way to the west coast, ready for action in coastal reconnaissance.

NATION’S SCHOOLS ARE FOR ALL CHILDREN OF ALL PEOPLE NOBER 24, 1942 NUMBER 52 Death Writes Last Chapter To Long And Active Life Story, When Mrs. G. H. Bailey Passes in Arizona The death on Tuesday, September 22 in Phoenix, Ariz., of Mrs. G. H. Bailey, mother of Mrs. Henry Kuchel of this city, brought to a close, a long and active life for a member of a pioneer family of the entire Southwest. Mrs. Bailey was in her 93rd year, having been born in Millheim, Austin county, Texas, in 1849. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Amsler, Texas pioneers who settled there in 1832, before the war between Texas and Mexico, in which her father took part. Her husband, Dr. H. G. Bailey, one of Anaheim’s pioneer physicians, preceded her in death many years. Dr. and Mrs. Bailey came to California in 1871, following the famous old Pioneer Trail into the little town of Julian, near San Diego, then a typical western mining town. As the only physician in the community, Dr. Bailey had a flourishing practice although his wife was uneasy because of the many Indians, the rough mining life, and the hazards of a flourishing boom town of the old west. After a year there, they went to Los Angeles where Dr. Bailey practiced for awhile, but their stage trip had led them through Anaheim, and they always re- Parcel Post Driver Enters Service With Navy “Seebees” Having enlisted two weeks ago in the U.S. Navy, C.

SO Offers Idea of Making Scrapbooks for Men in Service There is a new idea. Scrapbooks Victory.

A full study program of evening classes for adults, has been announced by Fullerton District junior college, to begin Monday evening, September 28, with registration opening yesterday and continuing today and tomorrow. While almost two score subjects will be covered in these classes, chief interest perhaps attaches to those which offer opportunity for students to secure training for occupations essential to national defense. In this classification are aircraft sheet metal, aircraft welding, machine shop, marine electricity and marine welding, all of which are essential vocations at present. These and other classes of the night school course are free to students, with no tuition or registration fees required, according to E. Michael Crotty, director of the adult education and national defense classes. Classes will meet nightly from Monday to Friday, inclusive, throughout the school year. The variety of subjects will offer in addition to English, Spanish, mathematics and similar branches, several vocational training studies such as bookkeeping, blue print reading, Diesel engines and Diesel refrigeration, typing, stenography, linotyping, etc. First Aid, nature study, nutrition, flower arrangement, mineralogy, public speaking, woodwork, citizenship, and sewing classes are a few of those to be formed. So. Cal. Auto Club Posts Dimout SO Offers Idea of Making Scrapbooks for Men in Service A plan, sponsored by USO, assembles interesting reading matter such as short stories, bits reverses, cartoons, perhaps a first magazine mystery serial, in other weight scrapbooks for men service. Marguerite Mullins, USO staff member, has pointed out that books and magazines are often too busy for easy transportation, but the proposed scrapbooks will be easy to carry and will serve to take away many an hour for the rested men. The National Women's committee of California USO has prepared blank books of 24 pages, and none wishing to secure them may do so at USO Information Center, 315½ North Main street, Santa Ana, at the small cost of 15 cents apiece. An unlimited number of the books will be needed for men and women in service, many of whom have already written to tell how tightened they have been with the books. Magazines from which the stories are clipped need not be new. The idea is that the donors will choose stories, poems, and similar material that have had their strong appeal to them, with certainty that there will be readers among the men and women in the armed forces and the nurses' division, with similar dates. Orange county residents as well as those directly in the Anaheim area, who are concerned as to the post-war program of rehabilitation are giving close attention at present to the national Citizens For Victory movement, an outgrowth of the Committee to Defend America, and which is headed in California, by Chester H. Rowell, whose name is a household word to every newspaper reader. To Mrs. Helen B. McLaine, 420 North Lemon street, has been accorded the chairmanship of the Orange county division, and today she called attention to the weekly Citizens For Victory radio programs, heard each Sunday at 2:15 p.m. over Station KSFO. Next Sunday, the program will be devoted to San Francisco's International Center project. This project, made possible by financial aid from the Carnegie Endowment board of trustees, resulted, according to Mrs. McLaine, from the working together over a period of years, of affiliated groups desiring to build toward a better world community. It fosters public programs and educational campaigns, with speakers competent to discuss international relations. It will sponsor conferences in Pacific coast cities, and promote in every way possible, the humanitarian objectives to be achieved in the post-war reconstruction period. Dr. Monroe E. Deutsch, vice-president and provost of University of California, is chairman of International Center, which is strictly non-partisan and non-sectarian, declared Mrs. McLaine. So. Cal. Auto Club Posts Dimout Area In Southland Orange county's coastline, part of the strategic district affected by dimout regulations, will soon be plainly marked with dimout signs designed to serve for the duration. Signposting crews of Southern California Automobile club started last week on the work of installing such signs from the Monterey county line south to the Mexican border. Signs are of pressed hardwood, beaded to reflect headlights, and will replace the temporary cardboard placards which have served since dimout regulations first went into effect. Five thousand of them will be placed in the southern area. Placement orders have been authorized by Lt-Gen. John L. DeWitt, commanding the Western Defense Command. Entrance to and exit from territory of restricted headlight use will require three thousand signs to acquaint motorists with rules they must observe. A full cooperation with regulations is required from all motorists traveling at night. Strict punishment has been ordained for violation not only of the rule governing the dimming of headlights, but also for exceeding speed limits established for such areas.
