Silver Star Medal Given for Rout Of Japanese Ships Names of many Anaheim men continue to be added to the roster of those decorated for feats of bravery on the distant battle fronts of the World Conflict. Latest of these was Delbert Smith, member of the crew of one of the Flying Fortresses down in the Pacific area. Delbert Smith attended Anaheim Union high school in 1938 and is a son of J. A. Smith who at that time lived at 120 South Rose street. He was awarded the Silver Star for bravery in an attack by two Flying Fortresses on a Japanese cruiser and two destroyers in the Gona-Buna section of New Guinea. The cruiser and one destroyer were sunk and the third vessel damaged. The Silver Star is a medal awarded to anyone serving in any capacity with the Navy since December 6, 1941, who distinguishes himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity in action.

War service must come first... Ask yourself, before you travel: Is this trip necessary? These, briefly, are admonitions and warnings of our Government, for all transportation is now vitally needed to carry our Armed Forces, workers in war plants, and other essential travelers. In the past, Americans took extra trips over the Holidays, causing an above-normal volume of travel. But these are not normal times. Today transportation is faced with a serious shortage of equipment. Trained personnel has been depleted by the need for fighting men. Lower operating speed has become necessary in order to save rubber.

ANDWAGON RIDERS Many men running for high public office, will promise many songs before election, but after GRand Jury Files Final Report On County's Affairs Orange county at last is functioning under only one grand jury, the 1942 grand jury having finally filed its report this week on many matters that were not touched upon in the previously filed report on the operation of county offices. Various recommendations dealt with in the final report included action taken by the board on the present system of operating ambulances in the county; abolishment of the office of county counsel now held by Joel Ogle; cutting school insurance costs termed "excessive," and a recommendation that the state legislature enact a law permitting the holdover of not less than six grand jurors to serve on the following year's grand jury. Reasons cited for this final recommendation were "that grand jury recommendations can better be followed to their ultimate conclusion." In suggesting that the office of county counsel be abolished the jury held that the war had cut into public improvements, into building, and the need of advice by county officials, since much of their action is governed by priorities, and that as consequence the office of district attorney would be able to cope with all problems coming before the supervisors. It also characterized as "excessive" the salaries paid the office of county counsel, and held that the county could be saved many thousands of dollars by the abolishment of the office and turning CHurch Services WHITE TEMPLE METHODIST "The Supreme Quest" has been announced by the Rev.

It is necessary for many additional essential travelers to depend on already overloaded buses. That is why we appeal to you to postpone any pleasure trip you have planned which requires the use of public transportation. But another important reason is that thousands of our boys in the Armed Forces want to be home for the Holidays. Every one of them who can get leave reserves this privilege... we are not asking them not to travel. You, by giving up your trips, can add to their enjoyment and comfort. We are sure that every American will be eager and proud to make this sacrifice. So please don't travel unless absolutely necessary—especially over the Holidays and week-ends.
