American Legion Presents Arm Bands To Faithful Watchers of The Skies (Continued from page 1) of the Fourth Fighter Command for what they called "the wonderful team work between community, American Legion and city council." As Chief Observer Peck called off the names of the watchers to be honored, they were presented by the guest lieutenants with the handsome blue armbands embellished with golden wings. Then came the turn of the assistant observers, who received pins for their faithful work. They were Clair Liebhart, David Proud, Roy Helsing, K. B. Rigby, Gordon Handsfield, Henry Baxter, Milton Kohne and Carleton Starr. There was appreciation by the audience as well as by those in charge, of the faithfulness of all the proud new owners of arm bands, but special applause greeted the one woman watcher, Rose Gowdy, with 171 hours to her credit; A. G. Tuma and Elmer Hanson, who never permitted physical disabilities to interfere with the faithful performance of what they accepted as a patriotic duty. Others so honored were H. D. Ackerman, Claire Albin, Edward Backs, Vernon Bruederle, Ray Cheatum, Fred Clough, Stephen Gallagher, George Graham, Robert B. Gregg, Lawrence Haas, H. G. Hamilton, O. E. Hanson, Fred Hays, Glenn Hipes, Harry Horn, Milford Johnson, E. C. Kendrick, Anton Kern, Harry Kindig, Milton Kohne, Gilbert Kuenzli. Claude Lane, Sam Lund, C. J. Mauerhan, Frank E. Mauerhan, H. A.

Stewart, John Stitchman, Robert Truxaw, Dewey Van Atta, George Walters, J. D. Wilcox, Paul Williams, W. H. Young. Following the awards, Cols. Pillsbury and Tomlinson supervised the screening of motion pictures showing the work of watchers in England, and also along the eastern seaboard in this country. The authentic Navy pictures of the battle of Midway followed. Before the close of the program Legionnaires and their guests stood in 30-second silence in tribute to the memory of the late Eugene Phillips and Harry Gird. As finale to the evening, the post served refreshments "army style." Suggestions Are Offered On Point Rationing Anaheim housewives, like their sisters all over the nation, are going to have to learn to be expert jugglers as soon as the OPA is ready for distribution of the new ration books—those which will be used to buy much of the family food. For women will have to learn to budget both their money and their coupons, which will call for careful planning. War Ration Book 2 will have four pages of blue stamps and four of the red stamps. The blue will be used for the first group of goods to be rationed by points, and the red will be used for the second group. The number on each stamp will indicate its value, and the letter will tell the period during which... Backs, Verizon Brudelerie, Ray Cheatum, Fred Clough, Stephen Gallagher, George Graham, Robert B.

Easterner States Victory Tax Is Income Tax Basis In an address delivered by the National Retail Dry Goods sociation in New York, Stanley Surrey, tax legislative counsel the U.S. Treasury department, clarified that the foundation of pay-as-you-go income tax system has been laid in the new Vic tax. "The withholding provision the law which requires employers to withhold the tax at the source is the simplest, most effective means of placing individual payments on a current basis," declared. "If such a system were applied to income taxes the vast majority have to learn to budget both their money and their coupons, which will call for careful planning." War Ration Book 2 will have four pages of blue stamps and four of the red stamps. The blue will be used for the first group of goods to be rationed by points, and the red will be used for the second group. The number on each stamp will indicate its value, and the letter will tell the period during which it will be good. These periods will be announced in advance by the OPA. In Point Rationing, one set of coupons covers a group of commodities. For instance, a week's meat ration coupons will offer a choice among beef, veal, pork, lamb or mutton. Coupons to be spent in one week are of different denominations; for example, a one-point coupon, a two-point, a five-point and an eight-point. Various rationed articles in one group will have different point values. Tenderloin steak, for instance, with a higher point value would require a larger number of coupons than hamburger with a lower point value. The government will set the point value of each item in the group of rationed products and issue an official list. These point values will be based on available supplies and will vary as supplies of various items increase or decrease.

PICK UPS AND THROWS ---- WETTING THE WHISTLES In some circles they are clamoring for prohibition. Some people declare that liquor is sabotage. It is said that up in Canada, an individual can buy liquor from the government to be used in his home, but there are no public places where booze is sold. THANKS A MILLION It takes a dry wind from the east and a moist current from the south to cause a rain. The day before Christmas, these things happened, and a fine rain fell, sending the community a most acceptable gift. Mr. Weatherman, keep up the good work. LOVEABLE TRAIT When women of the Old South started decorating the graves of their Confederate soldiers who died in action during the Civil War one of them suggested that they also remember the boys of the north. They did this, making Memorial Day a nation-wide custom to live forever. THREE STRIKES AND OUT We have the blackout, the dim-out, and the fellow who stays out but fails to obey the first two outs, thereby causing trouble and accidents — and who should be put someplace where he couldn't get out, at least for 30 days. SUNKIST SOUTHLAND A man who lived here 50 years ago, and who has since been in various eastern states and traveled in Europe, was in town a few days ago, and declared that he is going to stay here. Experience is a good teacher, and it is hoped that he has learned how to be happy and prosperous, Incident- Death Summons Cal D. Lester In Orange Home The death Tuesday morning of Cal D.

He was a res Fullerton at the time of pointment to the office of clerk to succeed the late Beckett who was elected and died in the same year. In 1907, Lester was county auditor, remaining post until 1915 when he succeeded by William C. Jero successively held such of Orange city clerk, city council and justice of the peace of township. He is survived by one Oliver D. Lester, now s in the South Pacific war and was recently commended commander of his ship, ceptional bravery during engagement.

Esterner States History Tax Is Home Tax Basis An address delivered before national Retail Dry Goods assision in New York, Stanley P. Payy, tax legislative counsel for U.S. Treasury department, de-lim that the foundation of a us-you-go income tax system been laid in the new Victory We withholding provision of law which requires employers withhold the tax at the source, be simplest, most effective of placing individual tax cents on a current basis," he added. Such a system were applied home taxes the vast majority May Be Sent To Men Overseas That no more third class mail will be received in the local post office for men in overseas service, has been learned here following the early January order of the postmaster general. The order (No. 19687) states in part: "The War Department has informed the Post Office Department that in view of heavy demands being made on cargo space for military shipments and because of the limited facilities available to commanders of theater operations for delivery of mail, the volume of mail dispatched to overseas destinations must be kept to a minimum . . . No circular matter of the third class shall be presented for mailing at A.P.O.'s overseas as the War Department advises that it will not be despatched from ports of embarkation." Packages which hitherto have been accepted at the local post office, can no longer be sent. There are a few exceptions. If certain articles have been requested by the soldier overseas, and his request is approved by his commanding officer, then such gifts may be sent. The new ruling also applies to letters which must be sent V-mail, and must therefore be written in black ink, suitable for photographing. Lois Rebekah Lodge Installs Officers At the next regular meeting of Lois Rebekah lodge in Odd Fellow hall, official affairs of the organization will be directed by the new noble grand, Mrs. Violet Howard, who was installed at formal ceremonies Friday night. She takes over the office held by Mrs. Edna Kruse. Mrs. Mary Edwards, district deputy president, installed the new staff, with Mrs. Alice Shell as marshal. Serving with Noble Grand Howard will be Mrs. Mabel Ives, vice grand; Berthyle Reisinger, recording secretary; Elsie Borth, financial secretary; Hannah Horwitz, treasurer; Helen Pannier, warden; Elsie Armburst, conductress; Grace Schafer, chaplain; Maude Adams, musician; Ora Horn, RSNG; Mildred Fitz, LSNG; Eileen Peterson, RSVG; Clarabelle Burns, LSVG; Ellen Robinson inside guardians — and who should be put someplace where he couldn't get out, at least for 30 days. SUNKIST SOUTHLAND A man who lived here 50 years ago, and who has since been in various eastern states and travelled in Europe, was in town a few days ago, and declared that he is going to stay here. Experience is a good teacher, and it is hoped that he has learned how to be happy and prosperous. Incidentally he was interested to hear of the gonaflora rubber vine. IN THE SPOTLIGHT The rubber vine commonly known as gonaflora, which grows wild in Mexico, is attracting attention here and several well-known citizens are intensely interested. The vine matures in six months ready to be used. Southern California's frostless areas would be well adapted to raising the vine which no doubt would aid in the solution of the acute rubber problem. Men with financial backing would be well paid to get busy right now in producing the vine. Possibilities of the venture are great and the sooner the people here get started, the better things would be for the whole nation. Once again we say—Get Busy! OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE It is reported that in the 12 mid-western states, the Republicans won about half of the House Representatives at the recent election. It is also said that the Republicans polled a larger vote in congressional races in the nation, for the first time in 14 years. It appears that the people are lining up with the G.O.P. hoping that everything will work out all right for everybody. DECEITFUL DEMONS Initial successes of the Japanese in the Far East were due in a large way to trickery and deceit. They used fishing boats upon which were naval officers in disguise, to take pictures of harbors and also to plant mines. The scrap iron they bought is being used to make which they shoot back at must pay for this a thousand. They will be crushed coarse when our Marines get threem them, aided by the Army Navy. HOPE FOR PEACE While millions of men slaughtered all over the world this inhuman war, stop and of the other millions who nocent, and think of their and sorrow for their love who have been lost. It rn continue. Let us all hope soon will be ended now ever. THE POCKETBOOK OF KNOWLEDGE BAKE A HEART If you haven't served baked heart before, it will be a pleasant treat now. A small beef heart makes a most nutritious main dish and is a reasonable buy because it is over 90% lean meat. Make enough well-seasoned bread dressing to stuff the prepared heart and tie it securely with cord to hold its shape. Roll in melted fat, then in flour, and salt it generously. Place in deep baking dish with close fitting cover and bake in oven preheated to 350 degrees F.—until tender. A three-pound heart will take about three and one-half hours. At the same time bake potatoes, squash, or a dish of onions, covered. There will be room for two loaves of brown bread, too. But if all foods chosen for the oven meal are covered, a steamed carrot pudding may be baked. The main point is to utilize the oven completely—then the baking is not a fuel luxury. Gas is essential in the multiple operations of our war production, so it must be used at home with careful thought and planning—none should be wasted. Death Summons Cal D. Lester in Orange Home The death Tuesday night in Orange of Cal D. Lester, removed as well known figure in Orange county political circles. His passing followed a several week's illness, and he had been removed from St. Joseph hospital to his home at 1111 West Chapman Avenue, only a short time before the end. Lester had served in various official capacities in county political circles as well as in Santa Ana and his home city of Orange since beginning his political career in 1943. He was a resident of Bullerton at the time of his appointment to the office of county clerk to succeed the late W. D. Beckett who was elected in 1902 and died in the same year. In 1907, Lester was elected county auditor, remaining in that post until 1915 when he was succeeded by William C. Jerome. He successively held such offices as Orange city clerk, city councilman and justice of the peace of Orange township. He is survived by one son, Sgt. Oliver D. Lester, now stationed in the South Pacific war area, who was recently commended by the commander of his ship, for exceptional bravery during a naval engagement. County Insectary Head Retires Retirement of A. B. Perkins, former head of the Orange county insectary in this city, completed 55 years of faithful service, according to Agricultural Commissioner D. W. Tubbs. In announcing the retirement of Perkins, 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 Anaheimi and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago January 24, 1918 The moving back of the city frontages on West Center street, between Los Angeles and Lemon, in order that wider sidewalks may be attained is commendable and now that the block is almost finished, that part of the down town district takes on quite a metropolitan appearance, naturally more business is attracted to that quarter. While the property owners are to be congratulated for their enterprise still the tenants really foot the bills, as in every case higher rents are being asked for storerooms in that block. Rents have been raised there from $15 to $25 per month. Patriotism was the paramount subject at the annual banquet of the Anaheim Board of Trade which was held in the banquet room of Masonic Temple Monday night. All the speeches hinged upon the war and the necessity of subordinating everything during the coming year to the needs of the government in the conflict. Felling’s orchestra arranged its program to include some of the latest war songs among them being “We're Going to Win, By Heck,” “Somewhere in France,” “Where Do We Go From Here, Boys,” “We're Going Over,” “Goodby Broadways.” C. E. Holcomb made an admirable toastmaster, sandwiching in appropriate remarks between the music and the speeches. The banquet was provided by the ladies of the Eastern Star. As a fitting close to the evening’s County Insectary Head Retires Retirement of A. B. Perkins, former head of the Orange county insectary in this city, completed 55 years of faithful service, according to Agricultural Commissioner D. W. Tubbs. In announcing the retirement of Perkins, Tubbs stated that it meant the loss to the commission of one of the most experienced inspectors in California, and that his place would be difficult if not impossible to fill. Perkins has served at various times as inspector in Anaheim, Capistrano and Fullerton districts and was serving in the latter city at the time of his retirement. He lives at 520 East Commonwealth Avenue, Fullerton. ON RATIONING We're still the envy of Europeans, so far as coffee rationing is concerned. At least we get a cup a day, but the Belgians (if they're lucky) get 10 cups of chicory a month; Danes get about seven cups each 30 days; French, by means of the "black market" night possibly get a cup of real coffee every 10 days. And also to plant mines. The scrap iron they bought here is being used to make bullets which they shoot back at us. They must pay for this a thousand-fold. They will be crushed completely when our Marines get through with them, aided by the Army and Navy. HOPE FOR PEACE While millions of men are being laughedered all over the world in this inhuman war, stop and think of the other millions who are innocent, and think of their anguish and sorrow for their loved ones who have been lost. It must not continue. Let us all hope that it soon will be ended now and forever. KETBOOK EDGE BY TOPPS C. E. Holcomb made an admirable toastmaster, sandwiching in appropriate remarks between the music and the speeches. The banquet was provided by the ladies of the Eastern Star. As a fitting close to the evening's entertainment the orchestra struck up "America," the entire audience joined in the singing. Speeches were made during the evening by F. C. Krause, A. B. McCord, president of the Board of Trade, Thomas Crawford, Secretary Whitaker and others. One of our oldest and most esteemed citizens, Mrs. Catherine Backs, wife of Joseph Backs, died at her residence on North Lemon street Friday. Mrs. Backs was the daughter of Dr. A. F. Heyerman, she was born in Guaymas, Mexico, April 1, 1854, and came to Anaheim with her family in 1862. The doctor and his family made the trip overland and it was an exciting and dangerous one as hostile Indians infested the country. They finally reach Anaheim which then was only an oasis in a trackless desert. The family removed to San Francisco where in 1875 she was married to Joseph Backs, who was one of Anaheim's young business men. This city has been their home for the past 43 years. Mrs. Backs is survived by her husband, seven children and a brother and sister. Funeral was held at Backs and Terry's chapel Tuesday morning with a later service at St. Boniface church. Father Dubble being celebrant assisted by Father Gallagher of Fullerton and Father Morris of Pasadena. Interment was in Anaheim Cemetery. Mrs. J. J. Schneider entertained the "500" club at her home on Friday afternoon. The first prize, an embroidered towel, was won by Mrs. Closson, the second a cut glass sugar and creamer, by Mrs. Grim, and the consolation, a box of handkerchiefs by Mrs. Rust. Refreshments were served at the close of the game. Mrs. J. H. Brunworth entertained the Elite club at her East Center street home Thursday, and as Bennet pleaded himself before election to vote for the Senator in exchange for being endorsed by the Democracy, there are a number of fiery-eyed Democrats at Santa Ana very anxious to interview him and make it interesting for him when he comes home. Bennet was kept in the Populite ranks by telegrams from Jim Weaver, who adjudged him to stand fast and true to his other pledges, and the visit of the local statesmen to the wicked city of Sacramento was for naught. We have pleasure in announcing the wedding of William L. Dunlap and Miss Lillie M. Kellogg, which happy event occurred at the residence of the bride's mother in West Anaheim last evening. Rev. Hiram Hill officiating. The ceremony was witnessed by members of the family and near friends of the high contracting parties. After the ceremony refreshments were served and the happy couple bidden godspeed on their journey through life. The bride is one of the fair daughters of this city, and is known far and wide for her many abiable qualities. Mr. Dunlap is one of the rising young businessmen of the city. The happy couple will take up their residence in the cottage on Philadelphia street recently purchased by the groom. We join their many friends in wishing them all manner of good fortune in their journey through life. Work on the artesian well at the site of the proposed co-operative beet sugar refinery has been suspended temporarily, at a depth of some 235 feet, but operations will be resumed in time to have flowing water for the erection of the refinery this year. Albertson & Middleham have just completed painting Mr. Fay's residence on West Broadway. The work is done in their usual artistic manner and reflects great credit upon that painstaking firm. Veit Bentz returned on Monday from Jacksonville, Or., where he was called some weeks ago on account of his father's death. He made a quick trip north and reached home in time to attend the funeral. He brings with him his mother and sister, who will make their permanent home in this city. J. E. Rankin a brother-in-law Mrs. J. H. Brunworth entertained the Elite club at her East Center street home Thursday, serving refreshments to her guests at the close of an enjoyable afternoon spent in playing "500." The first prize was won by Mrs. Al Nowotny. The second by Mrs. A. D. Palmer, the third by Mrs. L. F. Pomeroy, and the fourth by Mrs. Louis Kroeger. E. H. Adams has tendered his resignation as city electrician to the trustees and will go into the sugar factory. Mr. Adams has been employed in the city power house for the past ten years. Three years ago on the resignation of A. L. Lewis he was made chief which position he has held ever since. Hon. P. A. Stanton, president of the Bayside Land company, has been ill for the past week at his Los Angeles home. He is now improving nicely and will probably soon be out again. C. Connell, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Katherine Connell and the Misses McKenzie of Los Angeles, were the guests of Richard Melrose and family on Sunday. Arthur Staley and Max Nebelung who have been engaged for several days auditing the books of the Anaheim Union Water company, finished their labors yesterday. Veit Bentz returned on Monday from Jacksonville, Or., where he was called some weeks ago on account of his father's death. He made a quick trip north and reached home in time to attend the funeral. He brings with him his mother and sister, who will make their permanent home in this city. J. E. Rankin, a brother-in-law of Sam Wilson of Santa Ana, recently arrived from the east, was in Anaheim one day last week with a view of making real estate investments. He will probably locate with us as he thinks this valley is the best part of what he has seen of Southern California. Mr. and Mrs. I. V. Albertson entertained a number of their friends at a party at their residence last Saturday evening. The time was passed very pleasantly in social converse and music, including mandolin and guitar solos. A bountiful supply of refreshments were served and at a late hour the party dispersed. Clark Minor, well known and popular business man of this city died Sunday after a long illness of consumption. Mr. Minor came to Anaheim from San Diego two years ago and engaged in the nursery business. He was also part owner in the big walnut tract south of town. He leaves a wife and family of small children to mourn his loss. Charles Schindler was the happiest man in two counties on Monday, all caused by the advent of a new girl baby at his home on Center street. Mother and child doing well and the old man is getting over it.
