All Anaheim Is Urged To Take Part In Day of Prayer For Service Men That stirring call to prayer issued recently by President Roosevelt in his request that New Years Day be given observance as a National Day of Prayer, will be answered by Anaheim churches, who will have a general observance tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in White Temple Methodist church. "The Soul's Sincere Desire" will be the subject of the address which will be given by the Rev. H. G. Dymmel, pastor of Bethel Baptist church. Mindful of the President's wishes, the entire service will keep uppermost, the thought of the men in our armed forces. Denominations and creeds will be set aside, and ministers of all the city churches, regardless of denomination, have been asked to bring to the service, a list of the "boys" who have gone from their churches to the defense of their country. Service clubs and fraternal organizations have been asked to join in this city-wide prayer service, and bring lists of boys and men from their orders, who are with the armed forces. All of these names will be read aloud, and the worship hour will close with an interval of prayer for all those whose names have been read. Anaheim Ministerial Union is planning the city-wide event, and the Rev. Earl R. Berg, pastor of Calvary Baptist church and chairman of the Union's public worship committee, will be in charge. In giving details today of the plans, the Rev. Mr. Berg said, "There is little that can be done for our Boys at the front by those Traffic Victim's Son Arrives From Camp Callen The strange part that an old letter, dated in 1917, played in locating a son of the late Joseph Henley, long-time resident of Anaheim, and a familiar figure on the city's streets, is one of the touching incidents in the tragic death of Mr. Henley on Christmas Eve, at the hands of a motorist whose identity still remains shrouded in mystery. Joseph W. Henley, son of the stricken man, is a soldier stationed at Camp Callen, and arrived in this city Tuesday to make arrangements for funeral services for his father. The latter, who made his home at the Grove hotel, 240 East Center street, was struck by a hit-and-run driver on Christmas Eve as he was crossing Center street a block east of his home. He was still living when he was discovered, but died in the ambulance en route to the hospital. His was the 65th traffic fatality in Orange county in 1942. The body was removed to the Hilgenfeld mortuary, and through a careful search made by Samuel F. Hilgenfeld of Mr. Henley's personal effects, a letter mailed from Syracuse, N. Y., in 1917 and signed S. H. Henley, was discovered. A telegram was sent to the address, and through this came the information regarding the son of the traffic victim. The young man was saddened by news of his father's tragic death, but deeply grateful that FURLOUGH TRAVELS Although Lieut.

Mr. Berg said, "There is little that can be done for our Boys at the front by those who remain at home, but it is only a little way to the front line of battle through the channel of prayer. We hope that Anaheim will respond to this Call of Prayer in the same splendid cooperative way she responds to all other community projects relative to our Boys."

Telling of the National Chamber's cooperation with the war effort, he declared that the stature of the movement had grown because of this cooperation, and that its effects would be far reaching. "Every Chamber of Commerce will find an increasingly important part to play, not only in its individual community but in affairs of the nation in the reconstruction era that will follow this war" he stated. General discussion followed the short talk, and members sought suggestions from the guest speaker on the part that the Anaheim body might play in furthering local community welfare.

Secret Sight and Stability Aid U.S. In Bombing Success In precision bombing, for which our planes are designed, American craft have no equal. One vital feature of this superiority, aside from the unequalled bombsights, is the exceptional stability of the planes at extremely high altitudes, a stability made possible by development of the turbosupercharger. Germany undoubtedly has an effective supercharger, but to date America appears to have a decided edge, one which will be increasingly effective with continued expansion of its Air Forces. This stability for bombing runs cannot be underestimated, for American planes have been designed and built on the theory that it is better to plant 4 tons of bombs where they will hurt the enemy the most than to drop greater loads over a wide area with, perhaps, less than 4 tons hitting the target. home, and Mrs. Daniel will remain with her parents for the duration.

Exclusive Distributors SIMON LEVI COMPANY, Ltd. California, Arizona, Nevada Dear Friends- Dear FriendsOf Anaheim and Vicinity: WHEN WE wish you "HAPPY NEW YEAR" we want it to mean all our good wishes for the whole year to come. But we also want it to express our appreciation for the friendliness and cooperation which you have shown us in the year now drawing to a close. It hasn't been an easy year for any of us, has it? Many of you have watched sons and brothers and husbands march bravely off with a smile. Perhaps that is why you have been so helpful and cooperative with us. For we too have had to place our Country and her needs above our own personal and business needs. And you know, just as we do, that sometimes this is rather a hard thing to do. It isn't easy for a man to shoulder military duties — and just walk out and leave the business which he has worked so hard to build. It isn't easy for a woman to wave him a cheerful farewell (we just will not say "goodbye") and then try to take up the responsibilities that he laid down. But you have done it, and we have done it. And we understand each other, don't we? We are all agreed that it is the only thing to do. We are agreed that our Country and her welfare comes before our own private interests. For after all, if our Country suffers, where would our private interests be? You see, what we are trying to express, is that we understand your problems — and we feel that you understand ours. You have shown us that you do, by your fine and loyal support through the past year. And We are agreed that our Country and her welfare comes before our own private interests. For after all, if our Country suffers, where would our private interests be? You see, what we are trying to express, is that we understand your problems — and we feel that you understand ours.

And so it is with the deepest friendliness and sincerity that we wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR HILDRED FERRELL, Manager McCoy Cut Rate Drug Store Center and Los Angeles, Anaheim, California
