Office of Censorship Asks Secrecy On Movement of Armed Forces From the Office of Censorship in Washington, D.C., has come information on the necessity of maintaining secrecy regarding troop movements and whereabouts of individual members of our country's armed forces, that everyone in Anaheim will find of value and interest. “If you know what ship a sailor is on, or what company or regiment a soldier is with overseas, then you know a military secret which must not be revealed,” the office warns. In explaining the reasons for maintaining such secrecy, the office points out that a general needs to know the strength of his opponent: How many men, guns, ships and planes there are in each theater of war. Both the Nazis and Japs want to know these things about our forces. Their agents assemble the information something like this; From one paper, an item reveals that the 00th Infantry is in Australia; another, that the U.S. Wisconsin is in the Mediterranean; another, that the 206th Tank Battalion is in North Africa. Add hundreds of these separate bits of information together, and our enemies have a too-accurate estimate of American military strength. And it is our own American soldiers whom we endanger by these little slips. “This is not a blackout on news about our soldiers” the Office of Censorship points out. “Considerable latitude in reporting personal experiences gives little military information if the troop units and ship names are kept secret. “It is permissible to say that Pvt. John Jones is in Australia, or that Seaman Tom Brown saw action in the Atlantic, but there is military information that endangers the lives of American fighting men if Private* Jones’ Infantry unit or Brown’s ship is publicized.” RATION FASHION To buy a new dish in England the shopper has to turn in a broken dish.

Before planting in the open, the plants should be hardened off by gradual exposure to field conditions. Plants do best if moved on a cloudy day or in the evening and care should be taken to water immediately and provide shade if necessary during the hot days. Helpful bulletins on planting instructions and varieties adapted to Orange county conditions, are available at the farm advisor's office, 220 Ramona building, Santa Ana. Gen. Eaker on War "By destroying the enemy's aircraft factories you can put an end to his air force. By destroying his shipyards you can make it impossible for him to build submarines. There is nothing that can be destroyed by gunfire that cannot be destroyed by bombs." Major Gen. Ira C. Eaker, Chief of U. S. Bomber Command in Europe.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter ago. These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago January 10, 1918 The Anaheim Ebell at its regular meeting on Monday afternoon endorsed Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana for county chairman of the reorganized council of defense. A reorganization has lately been effected in the state council and Mrs. Robert J. Burdette of Pasadena has been placed at the head of the women's organization in the state. Mrs. Lawton is probably the foremost woman in Orange County engaged in defense work and her endorsement by the Ebell society is a worthy tribute to the high regard in which she is held. Two thousand ostriches on the bird farm near Brawley are offered for sale at $10 each. The low price of plumes and the high price of alfalfa, are given as the causes for sacrificing the birds. Chairman T. B. Talbert of the Board of Supervisors, has been granted a hundred days leave of absence and has gone to New York on a business mission. Charley McAulay, who has been spending his holiday leave of absence with his family here, left Friday for the Mare Island Navy yard. He went to San Francisco on the steamship Yale, and will spend two days in that city before reporting for duty. Mrs. Eva Boyd was in Los Angeles Tuesday, visiting with the Eastern Star.

During November, the total amount paid to the needy old people in the county was $116,572, compared with $120,499 for January, 1942. Average aid per person amounted to $36.12 in November and $35.98 in January, 1942. Throughout the state, 154,481 persons received $5,677,776 in aid for the needy aged during November, an average of $36.75 per person, the association found. In January, 1942, aged aid rolls numbered 158,478 persons, with aid extended amounting to $5,783,218, and average aid per person being 36.49. "The number of people receiving aid to the needy aged in California should decrease much faster than the 4,000 drop throughout the state between January and November of 1942," the association declared. "With such great demands for manpower and high-average earnings, responsible relatives should take over much more of the care of their needy and folks in California than has been the case during 1942.

She attended a meeting of the past matrons and past patrons in the evening. J. C. Mauerhan, speaking of the lack of rainfall so far this season, said the other day that he recalled the winter of 1884, when no rain fell until the latter part of January, and that the precipitation for the rest of the winter amounted to 35 inches, causing floods and considerable damage in many portions of Southern California. Mr. Mauerhan was at that time a member of the Los Angeles fire department, and assisted in the rescue of many families in the flooded district of that city. While he does not expect to see a repetition of those occurrences he believes the rains will begin in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth were host and hostess to a number of friends Friday evening at their Broadway home. Five hundred was the diversion of the evening. Mrs. Melrose and Mrs. Borchert being winners of the ladies' prizes and Messrs. Ames and Ahlborn proving champions among the gentlemen. Sunday was a strenuous day for the rabbit population in the Peralta region. Walter Cadman, Archer Fay, Leo Sheridan, Fred Hudson, Earl Abbey, Percy Rust and Ralph Kemp were out gunning for them and it is presumed that few of the bunnies escaped with their lives. As a weather prophet, Cy Sparks can always be relied upon. He predicts that dry weather will continue until the end of this week, after which the rainy season will set in and the precipitation for this year will be ample. Lieutenant Stanley Chapman, who has been visiting with his relatives since receiving his commission, left Saturday to join the Army. His destination is not made public. and Mrs. G. J.

There was no quorum at the meeting of stockholders of beet sugar refinery held at Krueger's hall Monday and so no vote was "The number of people receiving aid to the needy aged in California should decrease much faster than the 4,000 drop throughout the state between January and November of 1942," the association declared. "With such great demands for manpower and high-average earnings, responsible relatives should take over much more of the care of their needy and folks in California than has been the case during 1942. Certainly war-time high wages of many people should result in reduced relief burdens on the taxpayers. In addition, much more can be done by local officials, the people and the legislature to get people who still cling to relief back to work. This is the time that cut civil government expenditures and to lower state and local taxes in California, so that the people may be better able to pay federal taxes to finance the war."

Speidel and John Sloan were in Buena Park on Monday, talking sugar beets and co-operation refinery. Both are stockholders in the enterprise. Clarence Groat is one of our constables now and it's quite a good one he is making. He hasn't made any arrests yet, but is putting in time sizing up the hard characters. Dr. Warner was in town from Garden Grove on Monday. He reports everything flourishing down his way. Zanjero Henderson had his hunting dogs out last week for a little sport on the La Habra and succeeded in capturing a lynx, a wild cat and a coon.
