County TB and Health Association Makes Plans For Annual Meeting That Anaheim returns to date from the sales of Red Cross Christmas seals under chairmanship of Mrs. Homer G. Ames, have reached a total of $1845.72 as compared with $1488.86 of the same date a year ago, was one of the points brought out at the latest meeting of Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association officers and directors. Mrs. Ames is secretary of the association, and assembled with other officers for the business session in the headquarters office, 112 West Fifth street, Santa Ana. Principal topic of discussion was the program for 1943, whose keynote will be "Prevent a wartime rises in tuberculosis in Orange county." Among projects to be carried out are school and adult health educational programs with emphasis on tuberculosis, nutrition and rheumatic heart ailments; sponsorship of tuberculosis case-finding in industrial, teacher and food-handler groups in cooperation with the county health department and physicians; follow-up of men and women rejected at induction and employment centers because of health conditions, and the recruiting and training of personnel and volunteer workers. Mrs. Oliver Wickersheim, president, appointed committees to plan the annual meeting scheduled for the fourth Wednesday night in April. Frank A. Henderson was named chairman of the personnel committee including Mrs. R. W. Balch, William Dohr, the Rev. Robert Burns McAulay and Dr. Edward Lee Russell. Mrs. H. G. Ames as chairman of the annual meeting committee will have assistance of Mrs. George D. Griffith, Dr. Russell, Mrs. Charles A. Riggs and Dr. R. Morgan. Other committee groups include nominating, Mrs. W. Maxwell Burke, chairman; Mrs. Ames and F. William Dohr; budget, Wilfred B. Taylor, chairman, A. J. Cruickshank, Mrs. Balch, Raymond Elliott and James E. Walker. In his seals sale report, Dr. McAulay, chairman, stated that county returns to date amount to $13,775.82. This sum is not sufficient to meet the year's budget, so it is hoped that belated returns and aid from individuals will round out the sum required. PASS THE BEANS Rubber is now being produced from soybeans commercially at the rate of 250,000 pounds a month. This rubber is not suitable for tires but makes excellent gaskets, belting, insulating mats, etc. WE NEVER KNEW That 60 old toothpaste tapes would provide enough pure tin solder all the electrical connections in a fighting plane! Nor 40 pounds of their reclaim metal would make the bearings of a tank. We thought they were just old toothpaste tubes! THANK YOU! The people who live in the cities, towns and villages along Southern Pacific's lines in the West have just provided a fine example of war-time cooperation. We think this cooperation deserves recognition and we want to say "thank you" . . . since Southern Pacific was primarily concerned. And we're quite sure the many thousands of men in uniform who benefitted too, would also like to join us in this expression of appreciation. Early in December we were faced with the problem of providing transportation during the holidays for a very large number of men in the armed services who were to be given holiday furloughs. Because of the pressure of war traffic on our equipment . . . cars and locomotives . . . we knew that we could not provide transportation for all these service men and the normal number of civilian holiday travelers too. So we arranged a somewhat drastic and extensive program requiring coach reservations for virtually all trains, and set aside a major portion of both Pullman and coach space for the service men. Then we ran advertising telling people what our problem was, and why we could not take care of everyone who would like to travel during the holidays. We asked people not to "Try the Train". and the normal number of civilian holiday travelers too.

Then we ran advertising telling people what our problem was, and why we could not take care of everyone who would like to travel during the holidays. We asked people not to "Try the Train". As a result many people gave up holiday trips they very much wanted to make. The amount of civilian travel, compared with December, 1941, was considerably reduced and we took care of the service men in good shape. There was comparatively little congestion, and all essential travel was accommodated. So we know that people generally have cooperated...and we give you all a hearty "thank you." May we also express our appreciation at this time for your considerate and understanding attitude towards Southern Pacific and its service during the last twelve months? We hope you will continue to confine your trips, in 1943, to essential travel. A. T. MERCIER, President S·P The Friendly Southern Pacific GREATER PRODUCTION NEEDED FOR VICTORY! All-Year Club Faces British Post-War Plan Indicating that Southern California will be offered brisk competition by Great Britain as a mecca for travelers and tourists after the war comes to a close, Don Thomas, manager director of the All-Year club, has issued a letter describing some of Britain's post-war tourist plans. "According to reports from London, the come-to-Britain movement will be reorganized, probably on a bigger scale than ever before, immediately after the war," Thomas declared. "Two big organizations for stimulating tourist travel, the British Council and the Travel and Development association, have submitted coordinated postwar plans to the British government. The government is considering more extensive financial aid for the program and means association is increasing itsately-subscribed funds foring on the work." Thomas declared that Year club is pushing a program to secure for the land, a quick and healthful of the post-war tourist which in normal years, real figure of $200,000,000 forern California. This income, he stated when resumed, aid in the transition of Southland industries from war to peacetime production.

That was the first fire in its history for which it failed to sound an alarm. It was lying on the ground at the time and gave forth a feeble response to the hammering administered to it in lieu of other means of alarm. Thus ended the account of half a century ago. And the bell continued to give faithful service to Anaheim citizens for the next quarter century. For it was duly installed in its tower in what was then the “new” city hall, occupying the same site where the present city hall stands. When the new building was completed, the bell eventually found a home in the light and water department of the Anaheim Water works, at 518 South Los Angeles street, where it is spending its serene old age in absolute quiet. But its tongue is not forever stilled. It spoke loudly and triumphantly just 25 years ago, when it was rung frantically to notify the city that the Armistice had been signed, and the devastating World War was finally ended. It shall speak again, according to V. W. Hannum, power plant superintendent, and his co-workers at the plant. They are hoping that the day is not far in the future when the gallant old bell will ring the same triumphant message to the community, that the present Global Conflict is at last ended with complete victory for the Allied Nations.

Chairman Demaree today asked that all local organizations who wish to take part in the gala occasion, get in touch with him as soon as possible. He hopes to enlist every merchant, every organization — and in fact every citizen, in the movement. Special entertainment is being planned, with indications that speakers and music will be provided by Southland military bases. However it is planned to have local talent as well, so that anyone with special talents might well get in touch with Chairman Demaree. Bond and stamp sales will be general, but will center in the novel Victory House. Its construction of glass bricks, each representing a Victory bank, includes with the stamp booth, a roomy stage (from which the program will be given), an electric organ and sound amplifier. A talented organist is a member of the Victory House staff, as are two charming Standard Chevronettes, the Misses Mary Ellen Gleason and Pat Hawkins. Paper Underwear Looms For GI's Underwear made of pulpwood paper is in store for Army personnel stationed in colder parts of the globe it has been amplified. The new undies are made of puffed cotton clipped and two sheets of paper joined by a coating of asphalt and tar, for added insulation against extremely cold climates. They are disposable after one wearing. The government is considering a more extensive financial backing for the program and meantime the association is increasing its privately-subscribed funds for carrying on the work." Thomas declared that the All-Year club is pushing a vigorous program to secure for the Southland, a quick and healthy share of the post-war tourist income which in normal years, reaches the figure of $200,000,000 for Southern California. This income, he states, will then resumed, aid in meeting the transition of Southland war industries from war to peace-time production. In advertising campaigns conducted nationally by the All-Year club, emphasis is placed on the way in which the advantages of the Southland, its sunshine, oranges, desert, mountain and seaide playgrounds, are making a vital contribution to the war job. Eagles Organizer Is Speaker for Santa Ana Order In the midst of his activities in enrolling a charter membership for the proposed new Anaheim Aerie of Fraternal Order of Eagles, Paul B.
