ANAHEIM, OR
Chamber of Commerce Hopes To Bring Industry Here
Anaheim housewives are facing a big responsibility.
Upon their response may depend entirely, the outcome of attempts being made to bring a large industry to this city.
Such is the opinion expressed emphatically by Secretary John M. Johnston of the Chamber of Commerce, whose every waking moment at present, is directed toward interesting San Diego’s Consolidated Aircraft corporation in locating one of its decentralized industries here.
Consolidated Aircraft is going to branch out. That much is certain and indications are that the branch will be located somewhere in Orange county. Two things will govern the choice of the city, according to Johnston. One of these is the feminine labor supply, and the second is the availability of quarters.
Johnston has made a list of buildings well suited to the company’s needs, and well situated in respect to transportation problems that might arise. He feels certain that this city has advantages to offer that surpass anything that other county cities may present.
Woman power is the principal thing, he states. He is convinced that Anaheim has a wealth of such power that has not yet been tapped. To discover how many women would be available for work in the new industry, he has
Naval Recruits Get In Just Under The Wire
Rather a special honor goes to three young Anaheim men, George Leroy Baker, Lyle A. Diggins and Manuel M. Lopez. For they were the last local enlistees accepted for service in the U.S. Navy before the new ruling went into effect whereby the Navy for the first time in history, will maintain its personnel by draft rather than by enlistment.
The three men were included in the list of 32 Orange county enlistees accepted during the week ending December 4. U.S. Machinist Mate C. E. Ristine who had

Woman power is the principal thing, he states. He is convinced that Anaheim has a wealth of such power that has not yet been tapped. To discover how many women would be available for work in the new industry, he has asked that they communicate with him at the Chamber of Commerce, 136 North Los Angeles street.
A penny post card will give ample space on which to set forth the wanted information of full name, age, address and possible telephone number; whether married or single, and the simple statement "I want to work." Such cards are available at the Chamber of Commerce it was pointed out, and Secretary Johnston and Mrs. J. T. Brastad will give full assistance in filling out the cards.
"If I can show 250 or 300 of these cards to George Hoyt, production manager of Consolidated, together with the information I (Continued on page 5)
Local Banker Gives Talk in Bay City
Wilson W. Phelps, secretary of the Southern County bank here, was among the speakers at the recent meeting in San Francisco of the executive council of Independent Bankers' association of the Twelfth Federal Reserve district. This association represents 367 member banks with combined resources in excess of two billion dollars.
In his talk, the local banker stated that independent banks of the west are giving unlimited support to the successful prosecution of the war. "We are assisting the war effort by financing directly the increased production of food and war materials and by the purchase of government securities" he declared.
"We are promoting in every possible way the sale of war bonds to the public, and our staffs are devoting many hours a week in handling these sales without compensation to the bank. So much has been said about sacrificing in order to buy U.S. war savings bonds, that many people have lost sight of the fact that they are actually purchasing the world's fini-

JAMES A. BAKER
for of Southern County Bank, 18 West Center street, according to announcement made this week by J. W. Phelps, president of the institution.
Supervisor Baker has long taken active part in civic and cultural activities of this city where he has spent the greater part his life. Born in Kansas, he was brought to California when he was but two years old, by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Baker. The family's first home was an orange grove at El Modena, but two years later they purchased 40-acre tract west of Anaheim and planted it to citrus fruit and it was there that James Baker and his five brothers and sisters grew to maturity.
He prepared himself for teaching at Los Angeles State Normal school after graduating from Anaheim High school in 1910. He had been principal of Centralia school and La Habra Elementary school which he also served as district superintendent. Even now with his extensive citrus interests, his responsibilities as supervisor from the third district, and as president of Anaheim Cooperative Orange association; a vice president Southern California Citrus Food and a director of MOD, he still finds time to act as a member of Anaheim Union high school board of directors.
He and Mrs. Baker, who was Miss Mae Dickenson prior to their marriage in 1912, have three sons and a daughter. Two of their sons are in military service. Lt. Warren Baker is Communications Office at Hamilton Field, and Edward Baker is in the Army Intelligence at SAAAB. Their third son, Gerald, and their daughter Marjorie now Mrs. George Ellis, both live in Anaheim.

Anaheim's remaining newly naturalized citizens were Mrs. Marie U. Buechler, Martinus Talset, Manuel C. Fuller, Serafin Cabral, Mrs. Frieda Hartmann, Antonio Garabito, Frederick Watson and Mrs. Irma B. Mills. Mrs. Mills was repatriated, being among four American women applying for repatriation after losing their citizenship by marriage to aliens.

See Jap Submarine
Many Anaheim buyers of war bonds and stamps are putting aside their week's allotment of sums devoted to this purpose, in order to make their purchases next Wednesday in Santa Ana, and thus gain the pirivilege of inspecting the pocket-size Japanese submarine which will be on view in that city for the one day, December 16.
This two-man submarine was captured just a year ago Monday in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It is being displayed throughout the Southland during the anniversary month of December, but the privilege of seeing the little vessel is reserved for the purchasers of war bonds or stamps.
The submarine is 81 feet long and weighs 20 tons. It is said to be one of a group released from the Japanese mother ship during the Pearl Harbor attack.

Anaheimer Tells Of Rescue From Torpedoed Ship
Arrival last week from Norfolk, Va., of Boatswain's Mate Sidney T. Hammond, formerly of 852 North Dickel street, gave Mrs. Hammond a firsthand account of her husband's narrow escape from death when his vessel, the Naval transport Hugh L. Scott, was torpedoed and sunk in the Mediterranean just off the African coast at Casablanca.
"I was unloading cargo when the torpedo struck" Hammond said today. "When I finally came to my senses everything on the ship seemed to be sailing up into the air. I dived for the superstructure and just managed to find shelter when the debris started falling. When things quieted down somewhat I crept out and then the second torpedo struck. Then came the order to abandon ship."
Hammond went overboard into the oily waters from which he was picked by by a rescue barge. He has returned to California on a 30-day leave following which he will return to Norfolk, to receive his assignment to some other vesicle.

Plans Formulated For High School Football Banquet
Always one of the high lights of the school year, the annual football banquet of Anaheim Union high school at which varieties of both B and C teams will be complimented by the student body, will be held Monday night in the school cafeteria.
Special program features have been planned for the evening according to L. Frank Kellogg, boys' vice principal. Although plans are not yet complete it is certain that guest speaker will be Coach Bill Cook of Santa Ana junior college, winner of the championship this year.
Special music will be provided by the music department, with a string quartet composed of William Cook of the faculty, viola; Roberta Norland, Barbara Gelke and Lester Jones of the student body, violins, and Marian Hill, also of the student body, accompanist.
The Rev. Henry W. Gross, pastor of St. Boniface Catholic church, will offer invocation, and there will be greetings from representative citizens including Mayor Charles A. Pearson, A. C. Riutcel, president of the board of trustees, and others, with L. Frank Kellogg as master of ceremonies.
Various presentations will be made by Principal Paul H. Demaree assisted by Coaches Dick Glover, John Wallin, Ralph Kingsbury, Chester Shirk and Shirl Keith.
Table arrangements and decorations are being planned by High School P.-T.A. members assisted by the Misses Edith Weber and Josephine Derigo of the art department, and Marjorie Metzgar, student representative of the Girls' Athletic association.
This dinner event, open to anyone interested, will begin promptly at 6:30 o'clock. Tickets at a nominal price, may be secured at the high school, but must be purchased yet this week, according to Kellogg.
State's Finances
Hammond went overboard into the oily waters from which he was picked by by a rescue barge. He has returned to California on a 30-day leave following which he will return to Norfolk, to receive his assignment to some other vessel. Mrs. Hammond was aware that the Hugh L. Scott had been sunk in the attack, but had no knowledge of her husband's safety until he telegraphed her after arrival in this country. She is now operating the Leatha Beauty shop on East Chapman avenue.
Returning with Hammond was another Orange county survivor of the Scott's sinking, Quartermaster Second Class Emil Friedemann of Orange, also home on a 30-day leave. The two men shared the same experience of rescue from the waters of the Mediterranean, and reached Norfolk on Thanksgiving Eve. Hammond said he did not see the sinking of the enemy submarine which torpeded the Scott, but Friedemann saw its destruction. He said it rose to the surface after being struck, then submerged, never to rise again.

**FLASHES FROM THE WAR FRONTS**
AFRICA—Stiffened Nazi resistance to the American and British offensives indicates that Hitler has been successful in getting reinforcements to Rommel. Apparently Hitler is determined to save face here, and that means hard desperate and possibly prolonged fighting. American troops in Africa are destined to see modern warfare at its fiercest. U. S. tanks and planes are proving themselves in battle. With Hitler throwing his reserve strength in, this may be the decisive campaign in Europe.
BRITAIN—Heavy bombing raids over occupied Europe continues to soften Nazi morale and important war industry factories have been gutted. Success of American heavy bombers still continues in skies where the Nazis had their own way a few months ago.
NEW GUINEA—MacArthur's men are still pushing the Japs hard. The enemy is making desperate efforts to land the reinforcements necessary to hold its New Guinea bases. Vicious jungle fighting is going on.
GUADALCANAL—Valiant Marines are still holding their toe-hold in the Solomons, despite desperate and costly efforts of the Japs to replace them.
TOKYO—Public announcements in the press indicate the Japanese war-lords are not happy with the way their campaign in the Pacific is going. The people are urged to make greater sacrifices and contribute more to war production.

Because military authorities prohibit the release of service men's names to strangers, this plan was adopted by the USO in response to many inquiries from kindly folk who wanted to help brighten the holidays for the men. Details of the plan were announced by Horace R. Head of the Orange County USO committee.
While USO headquarters in Santa Ana will be the distributing point from which such packages will be sent out to men in detached units, Anaheim donors may leave their packages in the office of City Clerk Charles E. Griffith, who has arranged to deliver all such packages to the county headquarters.
Arch Raitt, county USO director of mobile service will distribute the packages, which will go to service men who operate searchlight and antiaircraft batteries, and others whose work serves to isolate them from community activities. If response is as generous as seems indicated by present plans, any gift packages left over from first distribution will be divided among the county's different USO clubs to be presented to service men on Christmas Day.
Uniformity has been asked in the preparation of these gift boxes, coupled with the suggestion that none should entail an outlay of more than half a dollar. Gift suggestions include shaving articles, combs, brushes and similar toilet articles, cigarette lighter, address books, note books, diaries, pocket knives, fountain pens, pencils, nail clippers, wallets, handkerchiefs, playing cards, sewing kits, paper-backed books, and home-made cookies and candies.
