War Relief Committee Will Work For United Nations Little children, just like those that gladden Anaheim homes, are slowly starving to death in war-torn Europe and in China. Brave soldiers of the Allies are dying because of lack of the sulfa drugs. Anaheim, like every community in the United States, plans to do something to alleviate such suffering. A committee has been formed under chairmanship of Judge Frank Tausch, to seek funds for the United Nations War Relief movement now under way. On the committee working with Judge Tausch are Melbourne A. Gauer, superintendent of elementary schools; Miss J. Elizabeth Calnon, city librarian; Wilson Phelps, secretary of Southern County bank, and the Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector of St. Michael’s Episcopal church. The committee has pointed out that the current drive is the only one to be conducted during 1943 for war relief funds, but that the need is so acute that local sympathizers will be assured that contributions, no matter how small, will be gratefully received. Hapgood Returned To Met. District Secretarial Post An excellent picture of Anaheim’s city engineer, E. P. Hapgood, appears in the current issue of Colorado River Aqueduct News, official publication of the Metropolitan Water district of Southern California. The picture illustrates an article on the annual election of the board of directors, in which the local member was returned to the secretarial post which he has held for the past two years. All officers of the board were reelected, including with Secreteer Declares Victory Depends On Air Supremacy “Air power is the key to victory on every battlefront at sea as well as on land,” declared Geoffred F. Morgan earnestly when addressing Anaheim Kiwanians Tuesday at their midday meeting in the Elks clubhouse, on the trend which victory will take in the global war. Clubmembers felt the authority behind Morgan’s decisive talk, for as manager of Douglas Aircraft company’s speaker’s bureau, he is familiar with all the phases that go toward air supremacy. And that such supremacy will be the deciding factor in the war, he assured the club, declaring emphatically that victory will go to the side which maintains and keeps dominion in the air. Morgan, who was introduced by Frank Kellogg, dwelt upon the fact that this nation is building the largest airforce in its history, and that Douglas planes hold a foremost place in every category of fighting, bombing and transport aircraft. He told of the Douglas Dauntless, dive-bombing plane which played a vital part in The committee has pointed out that the current drive is the only one to be conducted during 1943 for war relief funds, but that the need is so acute that local sympathizers will be assured that contributions, no matter how small, will be gratefully received. To show how much good can be accomplished by the modest gift of two dollars, the committee points out that it will provide sufficient sulfathiazole to combat pneumonia and blood poison for 30 cases. Ten dollars would feed a starving family of five persons, for an entire month. Explaining further the buying power of a single War Relief dollar, it was pointed out that it would provide a nourishing meal for one hundred starving children in the far-flung war zones. “These starving children are the pitiful victims of a war machine in which they had no part,” today stated Miss Calnon, in urging the cooperation of kindly Anaheim folk. “In China alone, there are more than two million hungry, homeless children. Twenty dollars will take care of one of these children for an entire year.” It has been pointed out that here in the United States we have grown so accustomed to dealing with huge financial figures as given in the daily press and by radio, of the country’s outlay for war, that we fail to appreciate the stellar figures when applied to man. But even so, we pause when we are told that more than six (Continued on Page 6) Annual Drive for ‘Victory’ Books Nears Conclusion But one more week remains of the nation-wide Victory book campaign engineered by American Library association, USO and American Red Cross. And still Anaheim is far behind in donations to the collection of worth-while books to be distributed among men and women in the nation's military service. Miss Elizabeth Calnon, city librarian, today expressed the belief that many donors have Burial Rites Held For Pvt. Williams Sorrowing friends gathered at the Hilgenfeld chapel Saturday afternoon to pay final tribute to James Everett Williams, a native son of Anaheim, whose death on February 15 at Camp Hale, Colo., was a shock to all who knew him. He had been inducted into the U.S. Army only a short time before the brief illness that cost his life. His pastor, the Rev. Thomas L. Burden of White Temple Methodist church, conducted funeral services which were followed by burial in Loma Vista cemetery. Pvt. Williams was survived by his widow, Mrs. Gwen M. Williams, and two young sons, Richard and Robert, of this city. Councilmen Have Quiet Evening Just a nice quiet rainy night brought all members of the city council together Tuesday evening, to confer with Mayor Charles A. Morgan, who was introduced by Frank Kellogg, dwelt upon the fact that this nation is building the largest airforce in its history, and that Douglas planes hold a foremost place in every category of fighting, bombing and transport aircraft. He told of the Douglas Dauntless, dive-bombing plane which played a vital part in the battle of Midway Island, the A-20B which the British call the "Boston" and which is conceded to be the wrold's greatest all-round warplane; and the various transports. “Terrific attacks already made upon enemy cities, railroads, harbors and ships are but a foretaste of the death to be rained upon Germany, Japan and Italy as our planes swing into full production,” he asserted. He added that their importance is equalled by that of transport aircraft such as the giant Douglas C-54 which for speed and capacity, is unequalled by any other transport plane. "America's period of preparation is almost ended" Morgan said in conclusion. "During the past year the industry has built enormous factories, designed enormous planes, and hired enormous forces of workers. In 1943 the fighting force and the destructive power will be even greater since constantly growing emphasis is being placed upon construction of mighty bombers and transport planes that will carry the war to the enemy,"—and carry the army to the war." In the business session preceding introduction of the speaker, Dr. Charles Schutz presided, and William Webb conducted ceremonies inducing John P. Mary into Kiwanis membership. Associated Farmer Group Names Staff Of Officers Activities of Associated Farmers of Orange County, Inc., through the coming year will be directed by Edward P. Backs of Placentia, who was elected as president at the annual meeting of recent date. Officers to serve with him include C. S. Chapman and Dr. Clarence L. Ranney, vice-presidents, and George A. Graham, secretary-treasurer. But one more week remains of the nation-wide Victory book campaign engineered by American Library association, USO and American Red Cross. And still Anaheim is far behind in donations to the collection of worth-while books to be distributed among men and women in the nation's military service. Miss Elizabeth Calnon, city librarian, today expressed the belief that many donors have delayed taking books to the collection at the library believing that they had ample time to get them in before close of the drive. But time is drawing short. Saturday, March 6, is the final day. So it might be well, she said, to paraphrase Shakespeare and cry "Friends, readers and Anaheimers, give me your books!". Councilmen Have Quiet Evening Just a nice quiet rainy night brought all members of the city council together Tuesday evening, to confer with Mayor Charles A. Pearson on civic affairs in council chambers of the city hall. But it was almost as quiet in the council chambers as it was on downtown streets. About the only business demanding attention was the matter of allowing warrants and demands to the extent of $10,-866.67. So councilmen rolled down their sleeves and went home. Metropolitan Tenor Wins Acclaim Of Large Orange County Audience That tidal wave of music which rose Tuesday night when those world famous artists, Richard Crooks, tenor, and William Primrose, violist, appeared on the Orange County Artist series, is still beating today against the memories of Anaheim and all Orange county music lovers. The concert, held as usual in Santa Ana High school auditorium, was one of the major events of the season, and drew a capacity audience, with score of Anaheim patrons present to join in enthusiastic ovation to the guest artists. Richard Crooks, Metropolitan Opera tenor, held the great audience breathless with the supreme beauty of his voice, its wide range and mellow qualities, abetted by a flawless enunciation which gave each word a clear and crystalline quality. Operatic numbers prevailed, representing the works of Arne, Stradella, Paladilhe, Fourdrain, Giordano and similar composers of note. But there were countless more familiar melodies to lighten the program, including "Passing By," Mendelssohn's "On Wings of Song," the incomparable "Ave Maria" of Schubert, sung with viola obbligato, and the beautiful "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord" which rested on the air like a benediction. "Land of Hope and Glory" from Elgar's "Pride and Prejudice," ended his program on a note of triumphant patriotism, although many encore numbers were demanded until he brought the audience to its feet with the National Anthem, again with viola obbligato. No less arresting was the use of the viola as a solo instrument by William Primrose. He proved its flexibility, its combination of (Continued on page 6) Staff Of Officers Activities of Associated Farmers of Orange County, Inc., through the coming year will be directed by Edward P.

Last week he broke through the screen guarding the popular wishing well at the well-known rendez-vous of epicures, and made off with coins to the value of some $50. But he was robbing far more than the Berry Place, for according to Walter Knott, proprietor, all wishing well proceeds are turned over to San Juan Capistrano Mission at monthly intervals. Before leaving the Berry Place, the burglar, now being sought by sheriff's deputies, also broke open a vending machine and made away with its cash contents.

Johnston was notified that Consolidated Aircraft corporation would establish one of its branch plants here. George Hoyt, who directs the decentralization policy of the giant industry, the parent plant of which is located in San Diego, called Secretary Johnston on the telephone and gave him the gratifying news of the signing of the lease. The contract to bring a Consolidated branch to this city will become effective March 1. The plant, according to present plans, will be located at 113 South Palm street in the old Roberts Motors building, which will be equipped to meet present needs. No information is yet available as to the type of work to be produced locally, nor the number of employees needed. Earlier surveys included one on available labor supply, especially among women exclusive of those now employed in other defense industries. Large BPOE Class Initiated On 75th Anniversary Anaheim Elkdom's contribution to the national celebration of the Diamond Jubilee recognizing the 75th anniversary of the founding of BPOE in this country, was the initiation last night of a total of 78 men into the local lodge No. 1345. It was truly a gala occasion, from the opening dinner event shared by more than 300 members of the Antlered Herd gathered in the club cafe, to the final entertaining program provided by five acts of Orpheum vaudeville. Plans are well under way for the annual Orange County Citrus Growers' institute, to be held March 18 in Fremont school auditorium in this city, according to announcement made today by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. The sessions are continued this year because of popular demand, due to the many emergency and war-time problems that face the citrus grower at present. The institute is held under auspices of the Agricultural Extension service and the citrus department of the county farm bureau. Subjects to be discussed include the Valencia market outlook and price ceilings; labor situation in the citrus industry; fertilizer recommendations for citrus orchards; the fruit quality survey recently completed in the county, and similar subjects of current war-time importance. In view of the value of the information to be gained from the program, S. M. Rosedale, citrus department chairman of the farm bureau, has urged all citrus growers of the county to reserve the The plant, according to present plans, will be located at 113 South Palm street in the old Roberts Motors building, which will be equipped to meet present needs. No information is yet available as to the type of work to be produced locally, nor the number of employees needed. Earlier surveys included one on available labor supply, especially among women exclusive of those now employed in other defense industries. It has been indicated that Hoyt will make a statement revealing all such plans, at an early date. In the meantime it is believed that the welcome news will have other far-reaching results. Chief among these will be the possibility of increased building activities here where they have been at a virtual standstill for many months because of war priorities. Among such plans that are handicapped at present because of building priorities, are remodeling operations on the old First National bank building at Los Angeles and Center streets. Building Inspector R. Nyboe has not been able to issue full permits for this work, which is held up because of inability to get WPB release on materials. Plans embrace remodelling the street floor for store quarters, and second and third floors for small apartments, fifteen in all. Rainfall Figures Given Boost By Recent Storm In common with other Southland areas, Anaheim’s rainfall figures have been given another welcome boost by this week’s copious showers, according to data compiled at the city power plant by Superintendent V. W. Hannum. The season’s rainfall total now stands at 12.31 inches, a gratifying advance over the corresponding date of a year ago when the total reached only 7.81 inches. The week’s storm is now sufficiently far in the past that its figures may be cited, since he government edict sets 48 hours as the limit for which secrecy must be maintained, according to Hannum. The storm added 2.32 inches to the total. Effects through the county were equally beneficial. Santiago dam has impounded water. Diamond Jubilee recognizing the 75th anniversary of the founding of BPOE in this country, was the initiation last night of a total of 78 men into the local lodge No. 1345. It was truly a gala occasion, from the opening dinner event shared by more than 300 members of the Antlered Herd gathered in the club cafe, to the final entertaining program provided by five acts of Orpheum vaudeville. Many state dignitaries were present, including Newton Todd of Long Beach, president of the California Elks’ association; Ben Lieberman of Santa Ana, vice-president, and Oscar Heying of this city, secretary. In addition lodges of nearby Southland cities were represented by officers and prominent members. Six members of the new class were unable to be present but membership was conferred on the 78 in attendance by Exalted Ruler A. F. DeWitt and his corps of officers. It was the largest class initiated since July 2, 1929 when 108 new members were received. An interesting feature of the cremony was when Exalted Ruler DeWitt presented the lodge’s gift of Elks pins to members received during his year in office. These pins were given new initiates but not those reinstated or transferring from other lodges, but at that, the number was approximately 85. Reception of the new class adds to the anticipations of Elkdom in "Nite Club Nite" which the club is staging Saturday evening. Chef Glenn has promised a fine dinner menu to be served at 7:30 o'clock. Dancing will begin at 9 o'clock and an excellent orchestra has been secured to provide toe-tickling music.

The storm added 2.32 inches to the total. Effects through the county were equally beneficial. Santiago dam has impounded sufficient water that the surplus has been flowing over the spillway for the first time in two years. This is the fourth time since the dam was constructed in 1931, that the lake has been filled to overflowing. Its storage of 25,000 acre feet of water will be used for irrigation purposes during dry summer months to come.

American Red (Continued on Page 6) State Has Largest General Fund Cash Excess in History State Controller Harry B. Riley has announced that California ended January with a general fund cash excess of $76,488,781, the largest in the history of the state. Riley said that with revenue exceeding expenditures by nearly $9,000,000 a month, the state now is better off by $84,879,-626 than it was a year ago. With the majority of tax sources producing greater returns than last year, the state's general fund revenues totalled $149,412,-612 in the first seven months of the 1942-43 period. Expenditures in the same period amounted to $87,- contribution to the nation's home food production program this year, Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg today declared that he felt his estimate was a very conservative one in view of the interest already being manifested in every community. Wahlberg heads the County Home Food Production committee whose membership includes Mrs. A. J. Schutte of this city, representing the farm bureau home department; Mrs. George Peterson, Federation of Garden clubs president; W. D. Miller, secretary of the Production Credit association; Clyde Simmons, president of Associated Chambers of Commerce; John Hayes of the county superintendent's office, and E. J. Campbell of the Childers hatchery. This committee conferred on the goal set after consulting the latest federal census which revealed that in 1939 the county numbered 50,000 household dwellings in its urban and rural districts, and registered some 6,000 farms. It was estimated that these farms would show approximately 5000 Victory gardens or livestock projects and that the remaining 10,000 gardens or small livestock yards would represent the 44,000 householders in urban and suburban divisions of the county. Ranchers May Buy Rations Monthly By New OPA Order So much misunderstanding in regard to point rationing seems to prevail among those in rural areas, that OPA today clarified some of the puzzling matters by pointing out that ranchers and those living at a distance from a marketing center, may obtain certificates for buying rationed foods in quantity. By applying to the local War Price and Rationing board, such persons may secure certificates up to the full number of points in War Ration Book two. Applications for certificates may be made either in person or by mail, on OPA Form R-315, and must be accompanied by ration books of all persons included in the application. A certificate is good for 60 days from the date it is issued, but its full point value must be spent at one time.
