Coveted Cross Is Bestowed On Navy Flier With scores of Naval enlistees eager to serve aboard the USN airplane carrier Lexington when it finally takes to the high seas, Anaheim friends of Ensign J. D. (Don) Wakeham are wondering if he will be among the fortunate ones to be assigned to the new vessel. Ensign Wakeham, son of the E. A. Wakehams, Magnolia avenue, Garden Grove, has hosts of friends in this city who were thrilled at his recent decoration with the coveted Navy Cross, by Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander in chief of the Pacific fleet. Ensign Wakeham pilots one of the Navy's famous dive bombers, and was decorated in recognition of his heroism in the battle of the Coral Sea. He was at the controls of a big Douglas bomber during the famous battle, having taken off from the ill-fated aircraft carrier Lexington to attack a huge enemy ship with a 14-plane squadron. Diving from 18,000 feet, he released his 1000-pound bomb from a height of approximately 2500 feet he declared. "It hit the carrier (Ryokaku) directly amidship" he explained when describing the battle to his parents. "The carrier opened up like a big red rose and flames leaped up 500 feet. They were a deep orange color, just like the insignia on Jap planes, and made the carrier look like the setting sun." The battle of Coral Sea was the seventh engagement in which the 23-year-old flier had participated. He was one of the many Navy pilots who regretfully watched the directly amidship” he explained when describing the battle to his parents. “The carrier opened up like a big red rose and flames leaped up 500 feet. They were a deep orange color, just like the insignia on Jap planes, and made the carrier look like the setting sun.” The battle of Coral Sea was the seventh engagement in which the 23-year-old flier had participated. He was one of the many Navy pilots who regretfully watched the final sinking beneath the waves, of their parent ship, the Lexington. The new Lexington, to be launched Saturday in Quincy, Mass., was to have been christened the Cabot, according to original plans. But four days after the Lexington disappeared beneath the waves of the Coral Sea, her commander, Rear Admiral F. C. Sherman, asked Secretary Knox to name the first carrier launched, after his gallant ship. Rear Admiral Sherman will be present at Saturday's launching.

CLAES, veteran of the First World War whose death last Friday came as a shock to all his friends, was laid to rest Wednesday in Loma Vista cemetery, Fullerton, after quiet services held under auspices of Anaheim post American Legion, in the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel. Graveside rites at Loma Vista were conducted by Veterans of Foreign Wars, of which he was also a member. Born in Davenport, Iowa, 46 years ago, “Tony” Claes came to Anaheim when a boy of nine. He enlisted with other Anaheim youths in the First World War and saw active service overseas. In recent years he has been prominent among county citrus growers and operated his own ranch on Ball road. He left as his immediate family, his wife, Mrs. Mollie Claes, who is president of Anaheim auxiliary, VFW, and one sister, Mrs. Agnes Mosena of San Francisco, who came south for the funeral services. STEPHEN BARKER, whose death at the age of 65 occurred Saturday morning at the family home, 531 South Illinois street, was laid to rest Monday afternoon in Fairhaven cemetery, to the accompaniment of the impressive rites of Masonry, administered by Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. and A. M. Born in Olive, Mr. Barker had lived his entire life in the Anaheim area. His affiliation with the Masonic lodge was with the Oxnard chapter. Funeral services held Monday afternoon in the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel, were conducted by the Rev. Don Earl Boatman, pastor of Anaheim Church of Christ. Mr. Barker was survived by his wife, Mrs. Prudy Barker of the home; two daughters, Mrs. William Hobro of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Harold Harling, 401 North Janss street, and two grandchildren, the little Misses Shirley and Mildred Harling. Other near relatives include also a brother, Left Barker of Tustin and three Campus Modes Will Reflect Trend Toward Patriotism As Miss Anaheim College Girl plans her school wardrobe this year, she is giving plenty of thought to her chicness when she swings along the campus, either classward or date-ward. And all of her clothes are being planned with a thought of the patriotic duties to which she will devote much of her leisure time. Indications are that the popular Teddy bear coat with matching accessories, stands high on the list of favorites, and of course the trench coat, with its hint of militarism, remains inevitably in the spotlight. Quilted cotton skirts and Churchill pea-jackets are both on the college clothes curriculum. One of the big stores on Chicago’s fashion-famous State street recently completed a survey of style preferences on every important college campus of the country. It showed that girls are eager for “purposeful” clothes geared to long and arduous service, and styles that harmonize with the present patriotic pattern of college life. “Little boy’ long shorts are high on the list. The MacArthur plaid is being hailed with enthusiasm, and fringed carryalls with matching scarf and mitts are almost a campus “must.” Soft crepes for fraternity dances and dates are definitely “in,” and corduroy for knucklewear, is on the “passed with honors” list. Accessories that work approval include suspender belt of hand-crocheted wool; crochete Dutch cap with matching mittens felt flowers attached to combs and fur and leather animal head as lapel ornaments.

Movement Starts On Relocation Of Jap Evacuees The Army began work Sunday on the transfer of a new contingent of Japanese evacuees from the Santa Anita Assembly center at Arcadia, to the new Rohwer relocation center in Desha county, Ark. This is the first major movement to the Rohwer center, although an advance party of some 200 Japanese was transferred there from Stockton on September 14. Colonel Karl R. Bendetson, assistant chief of staff, Civil Affairs division, Western Defense Command and Fourth Army, is in charge of evacuation and transfer movements. He stated that some 4,500 Japanese will be affected by the order. Five hundred evacuees will be moved at a time, and work will continue on alternate days until the specified number is transferred. Evacuees affected are largely from the Downey and Los Angeles area. The journey will require about five days for each group. Medical attendants from the Public Health service will be aboard the train, and meals will be served the evacuees. The Rohwer Relocation center is the first of two to be opened in Arkansas, and will have a capacity of 10,000 evacuees. It lies in the Mississippi delta region and comprises 10,000 acres now covered by second growth timber. Drainage and irrigation facilities are being provided, and the land will produce long staple cotton, alfalfa, soy beans, small grains, fruits and truck crops. The climate is mild with an average rainfall of 52 inches, light winter snows and a frost-free period of about 230 days.

Home Gardens May Have Variety Of Vegetables Considerable variety of vegetables can be planted by home gardeners during this month. Suggested vegetables to plant are carrots, beets, lettuce, parsnips, spinach, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, radishes, turnips, chard and green onions. In locations that are frost free, string beans and Irish potatoes may be planted. Celery is not usually considered in a home garden, but it may also be planted in September or October. The volume of vegetables produced locally and in nearby counties is not expected to increase in coming months as fast as population and demand increases, so temporary shortages of some vegetables may be experienced. NEW HOUSEHOLDERS Anaheim recorded a total of 17 new householders during the past week, and 28 changes of address including a business change when the Fields Service station moved from 538 South Los Angeles street to 415 West Amerige. Figures were compiled by North Orange County Credit bureau. A derivative of pectin now being made from orange peel at Ontario, Calif., has been developed as a substitute for agar, formerly imported from Japan. A circular giving general directions for a home garden is available free, at the office of the agricultural extension service, 220 Ramona building, Santa Ana. Vegetable varieties, planting distances and suggested feet of row for the average family are given in the circular. This Week's Gazette Has M Autumn Style Hints.

Szymanski of Sqdn. 76 has spent the last seven years touring midwest vaudeville theatres and night clubs as the senior member of the acrobatic team of Savage and Ware. Ed discovered his acrobatic ability while a student at Boys' Tech High School in Milwaukee. Twice he was runner up for the gymnastic high school championship of Wisconsin. After graduation from high school in 1935 Szymanski acquired the stage name of Savage, a partner named Ware, and the two of them worked out an act called "Rhythm in Slow Motion." It met with great success and continual bookings until Ed broke up the act by joining the Army Air Forces in July of this year. Meanwhile Ed discovered he had artistic abilities. He got occasional jobs as an interior decorator and painted landscapes and portraits. He took up flying and had 30 hours flying time, 9 of them solo, before he became a cadet. His old vaudeville routine, with a cadet partner, is one of the hits of the new Cadet Follies. Men, Women! Old at 40, 50, 60!
