Mother Colony Parlor NSGW To Be Instituted April 30 April promises to be an important month in Anaheim fraternal circles, for it will bring the formal institution of Mother Colony parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, in accordance with plans made at last week's organizational meeting in Elks clubhouse. Plans for the formation have been under way for many weeks by John M. Johnston, Chamber of Commerce secretary, and Leonard Schwacofer, both of whom are affiliated at present with Long Beach parlor NSGW. They have had cooperation from other native-born Californians in the community, since this county at present has but one parlor, that in Santa Ana. Almost half a hundred men assembled for the preliminary meeting over which Roy Mendoza presided, and which was addressed by District Deputy Woody Wade, Los Angeles. Friday night, April 9, was set as the date when district deputies will preside at a dinner meeting in Elks clubhouse. At that time a list of nominees for office will be presented by a committee comprising Theodore B. Kuchel, Joe Scholz, Fred Cline, Roy Mendoza, Nick LoPorto, John Opinions Differ As To Securing State Park Site Local Rotarians Will Attend Spring Conclave When the annual district conference of Rotary clubs in District 108 convenes next Monday in Riverside, Anaheim Rotarians will be represented by President Robert H. Boney, Secretary E. P. Happgood, and Paul H. Demaree, principal of Union high school, according to present plans. Since the conference date coincides with the regular meeting day of the local club, the three man plan to attend only the afternoon session, leaving immediately after the club luncheon here. At this week's meeting in the Elks clubhouse, Rotarians welcomed a new member in the person of Earl Silzle, president of Orange county's political and official circles are buzzing with discussions and surmises regarding a situation that has arisen with regard to beach frontages for state park purposes. In the first place, at last week's meeting of the board of supervisors, members approved a proposal of Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce, that the state take steps for immediate acquisition for state park purposes, of the sandy strip of shore extending from Huntington Beach to Newport Beach. Upon the heels of this action, came introduction into the state legislature of a bill by Assemblyman Sam Collins of Fullerton, to secure the Hamilton H. Cotton 115-acre ranch at San Clemente for state park purposes. Scarcely was the editorial ink dry on this news, until Assemblyman Clyde Watson of Orange, announced plans to introduce a bill to appropriate approximately $100,000 from park funds for acquisition of a state park along the ocean front between Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. Collins' bill provides that Cot- Anaheimers Chosen For Training In Radio Mechanics Two Anaheim men, Pfc. George L. Rees and Pfc. Richard K. Reynolds, were among new men selected for special training as radio operator-mechanic at the Army Air Forces Technical Training Command's Chicago schools. These schools operate in the buildings formerly occupied by the well-known Stevens and Congress hotels and Chicago's historic Coliseum and are under command of Brig. Gen. Albert L. Sneed. Pfc. Rees, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Rees, 119 North Resh street, is a graduate of Union high school and was with the Douglas Aircraft corp. at El Segundo at the time of his induction. Pfc. Reynolds is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Reynolds of Orange, and was welding inspector at the Calif. Shipbuilding corp. when he was inducted in early January. He was married in October to Miss Ruth Marie Thompson, daughter of the Herman J. Thompsons, Route 1, Box 143, who is remaining in her girlhood home for the duration. She has just received word that her husband's continuation with his study course has been interrupted by an eye operation which he underwent in a Chicago hospital, but from which he is now improving steadily. He has signed for training as a sembed for the preliminary meeting over which Roy Mendoza presided, and which was addressed by District Deputy Woody Wade, Los Angeles. Friday night, April 9, was set as the date when district deputies will preside at a dinner meeting in Elks clubhouse. At that time a list of nominees for office will be presented by a committee comprising Theodore B. Kuchel, Joe Scholz, Fred Cline, Roy Mendoza, Nick LoPorto, John M. Johnston and James Tuffree. Another committee to report at this date will be Thomas L. McFadden, Leonard Schwacofer (acting secretary) and John M. Johnston, delegated to determine upon a future meeting place for the parlor. Formal institution will be an event of Friday, April 30, at which (Continued on Page 6) Anaheimers Chosen For Training In Radio Mechanics Two Anaheim men, Pfc. George L. Rees and Pfc. Richard K.

He has signed for training as a good, and Paul H. Demaree, principal of Union high school, according to present plans. Since the conference date coincides with the regular meeting day of the local club, the three man plan to attend only the afternoon session, leaving immediately after the club luncheon here. At this week's meeting in the Elks clubhouse, Rotarians welcomed a new member in the person of Earl Silzle, president of the Silzle corporation. He was inducted into membership by Demaree, a past president of the San Juan Capistrano club. C. George Hedstrom, program chairman for the day, had provided a musical treat through cooperation of his fellow educators, William A. Cook of the music department of Union high school, and Miss Jane Deming of the music department in the Brea school system. With Mrs. Cook at the piano, they played a succession of violin and violin-viola duets, and Mrs. Cook also added a group of piano solos. The ensemble numbers were all of the popular type, including such compositions as "The Flatterer," "Sylvia," "The Musketeers" and a novelty number, "Pepperino." Member of Co. K Wins Commission At Fort Benning Mr. and Mrs. Fréd S. Hineman, 800 North Sabina street, have received a letter from their nephew, Lieut. Arthur M. Ashton, well known in this city, telling them that he has completed his officers' training at Fort Benning, Ga., received his commission, and been assigned for the present to Fort Riley, Kans. Lieut. Ashton was a former employee of Lund and Sons, Paint company of this city, and was a member of old Company K, California National Guard, which became absorbed into the U.S. Army two years ago. Ashton was one of the members sent to Hawaii after Pearl Harbor, but was returned to the mainland for officers training. His transference from Fort Benning to the Kansas post came as a man Sam Collins of Fullerton, to secure the Hamilton H. Cotton 115-acre ranch at San Clemente for state park purposes. Scarcely was the editorial ink dry on this news, until Assemblyman Clyde Watson of Orange, announced plans to introduce a bill to appropriate approximately $100,000 from park funds for acquisition of a state park along the ocean front between Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. Collins' bill provides that Cotton shall be paid $115,000 for his ranch, including improvements, residence, etc. The property has long been one of the county's showplaces, and lies on the edge of San Clemente, "Spanish Village" by the sea, adjacent to San Clemente State park. Collins declares that the bill is in line with the state's previously announced plan to acquire beach frontages, but Republican leaders have stated definitely that they will campaign against its passage. In discussion of the bill which he will propose, Assemblyman Watson points out that chambers of commerce and other civic groups favor the location he proposes, as being far more centrally located, since Cotton's property lies at the extreme southern tip of the county's shore line. Incidentally the county supervisors' approval of the action taken by Huntington Beach C. of C was the first time the body has gone on record as favoring acgone on record as favoring acquisition of any beach frontage, or specifically mentioned any one such parcel of land. Test Drill Draws Approval of Defense Chairman "No one could ask for better cooperation nor finer display of initiative," declared Charles H. Mann, chairman of Anaheim Civilian Defense committee, in recalling the success of Friday night's incident training drill in which air raid wardens and other units of the defense council were on the alert in the eastern section of the city. Fully 400 people took part in the drill, it was reported, and showed their fitness for handling actual cases in the event of any air raid or similar disaster that might come to this community. Air raid wardens in the western City Councilmen Have Busy Session With Variety of Matters Coming Up For Their Consideration Contract awards, ordnance readings, various appointments and similar business affairs arose for discussion and completion Tuesday night when Mayor Charles A.

Thief Makes Off With Gasoline When Ralph P. Allen appeared one morning this week to take over his duties at the Allen ranch between South and Santa Ana streets; he found an unpleasant surprise. Vandals had abstracted 45 gallons of gasoline from his tractor shed; according to a report filed at the city police station. HEIM GAZETTE The Oldest Newspaper In Orange County — Now In Its 73rd Year ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1943 No Boy, No Trouble Is Situation Noted by Officers Remember what we said last week about quiet humor to be found in the pages of the police blotter? If you couldn't find a smile in the terse story of the patron trying to teach the Chinese cook how to make chow mein, what do you think of this entry? "Call to Anaheim theater. Boy trouble. When the officers got there, no boy... No trouble." In our estimation, the entire problem was studied, passed upon, wrapped up and neatly packed into a nutshell by Officers Bennett and Hughes. Val Vita Plant In Merger With Hunt Bros. Latest change in the operation of the big Val Vita canning plant in Fullerton, one of the largest in the state, has been announced as a merger with Hunt Brothers Packing company which operates in Central California, Oregon and Washington. One of the largest of the Hunt Brothers plants is located at Hayward, and officials from the plant have been transferred to Fullerton to operate the cannery. Norton Simon, president of the Val Vita company, was elected to the presidency of the Hunt Brothers company. In connection with the new operation plan, it was announced that the tin can manufacturing plant formerly operated by Val Vita, has been sold to the Continental Can company, Los Angeles. The machinery will be operated by the Continental firm which will provide cans for the various crops to be handled by the packing plant. How Popeye Would Appreciate This Civic Spirit! Education leads the way in Anaheim's response to an urgent appeal from the Val Vita company in Fullerton to help save the perishable spinach crop. For last night a contingent of teachers of Union high school formed the vanguard when fully 400 Anaheim business men and women, housewives and students worked faithfully on the emergency shift from 7 to 11 o'clock. Among those noted from the Union high school faculty were D. Frantz Lehmer, the Misses Kathleen McFaul, Madge Sproul, Laura Gene Frantz and Ethel Caverly, all of them aroused to the need for conserving a valuable crop. Fullerton too provided an army of emergency workers, and like those from this city, they agreed to continue for at least the next two weeks, or until the crop is saved. So enthusiastic has been the response and so faithful the workers, that plans are being made for motion pictures to be taken as a permanent record of civic cooperation in a war emergency. Book Drive Closes With 332 Volumes Sorted and Packed Veteran of First Patriotic Theme Some of his experiences as a member of the Army Ordnance department at New York City, were detailed by Lieut. Robert Armentrout when he was guest speaker Friday at the Lions club meeting in Elks clubhouse. Dr. John Boege presided over the executive session when the club's national program on insuring peace was discussed by Lions Louis Hoskins, Clifton C. Lamb, Victor G. Loly and M. E. Beebe. Loly presented Lieut. Armentrout, who was one of the first Selective Service men from this city, and who has been in service now for two years or longer. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James J. Armentrout, 425 East Adele street. Continuing the patriotic note sounded by other features of the day's program, was a letter read by S. F. Hilgenfeld, from Everett Granere, formerly associated with him in the Hilgenfeld Mortuary, and now a pharmacist's mate in the U.S. Navy. Old Stage Lines Described By Club Speaker Delving into history of the famous old Butterfield and San Antonio-San Diego stage lines of the early days of California, Leonard Schwacofer, one of the city's foremost students of pioneer history, addressed 20-30 club members at their meeting Monday evening in Elks clubhouse. He dwelt especially upon the history of the Vallecito stage depot in eastern San Diego county; and the tales of those pioneer men and women who died on the old immigrant road in order, as he emphasized, "that the frame work of the great state of California might be forged." Schwacofer has been a leader in the formation of a local parlor of Native Sons of the Golden West to serve North Orange county and perpetuate the history of pioneer days here. He pointed out to 20-30 members, the responsibility which rests upon the present generation to preserve all history and records of early California future generations. Vice-President Nick LoPorto conducted the club meeting in the absence of Chauncey Woodrome, 20-30 president. Among reports Book Drive Closes With 332 Volumes Sorted and Packed Anaheim's Victory Book campaign, which for a time threatened to bog down through slowness of response, finally ended on March 22, in a burst of enthusiasm, such as seems characteristic of all civic enterprises of this community. The last few days saw a steady stream of books flowing into the public library, where Miss J. Elizabeth Calnon and her staff have spent a busy fortnight sorting and packing the gifts ready for shipping. This work is now completed, and Miss Calnon has submitted her report to the Los Angeles headquarters, and is awaiting word from M. R. Dabaugh as to the points to which the books are to be dispatched. In all, Anaheim readers donated 332 fine books to the worthy cause, all of them well chosen to bring pleasure and profit to their future soldier readers. "In point of numbers, we collected only about half of the books that came to us in last year's campaign, but in quality they were far superior," Miss Calnon stated today. Every book received was a really worthwhile volume she said, in excellent condition and well adapted to the needs of men and women in the service of their country. One hundred and 60 of them were what was classified as "Grade A fiction," with 47 Grade B fiction, 88 Grade A non-fiction and 37 Grade B non-fiction.

Red Cross Campaign Finals Show Quota Far Exceeded Although returns are not yet compiled for the final days of the Red Cross campaign which closed officially yesterday, it is believed that last minute contributions will considerably increase the sum of $20,595 already collected, according to Edward H. Powell, Chairman. Mrs. Laura Warren of Orange, Red Cross executive secretary for Orange county, made her official visit yesterday to Red Cross headquarters here, and expressed appreciation for the manner in which the Anaheim area had oversubscribed its quota of $12,400. She was warmly interested in the manner in which Mexican residents of neighboring rural communities had arisen to the need of funds, and worked so faithfully to help swell the total. Out in the Magnolia school district for instance, the generous gift of $90.75 was made by residents of Colonia Independencia, through cooperation of a group of Red Cross workers captained by Honorato Miranda. He and his crew, Paul Magdalena, Alberto Viromontes, Jose Mesa and Pedro Barron, gave rest hours after their day's work, to visiting neighbors and collecting the funds.

Quite as interesting was the accomplishment of seventh and eighth grade pupils at Stanton school of which Mrs. Twila Reid is principal. They prepared a little play, "The Wedding of Maria and Ramon," and charged their parents and friends 20 cents admission, with the result that they cleared $22.50 for the Red Cross. In the same manner that the community went over the top in the campaign for funds, it registered Friday in its donations to the blood plasma bank when the mobile unit was located at Ebell clubhouse. Approximately 200 donors did their regular “banking,” to help the Red Cross in supplying the necessary blood plasma to save the lives of America's golden heroes. It had been announced that the mobile unit would visit Orange county communities at bi-monthly intervals. But Mrs. Warren has been notified by Miss Lucille Newmark, assistant director of Blood Donors center, Los Angeles, that the need is becoming so great the monthly visits will be continued. Not only this, but each county Red Cross chapter will be asked for a total of 225 pints of blood a month. This will require a much larger list of donors than heretofore, so anyone interested in joining the great fraternity of blood-givers, is asked to communicate with Mrs. Llewellyn Wilson, chairman of the local service. Advance notice will be given of the next date upon which the mobile unit will visit this city. Manchester Damage Suit Is Settled Although Attorney and Mrs. William J. M.

The Rev. Earl R. Berg introduced the guest speaker following the customary business session conducted by President Ewald Lemcke. The Rev. Mr. Archibald came into direct contact with leading business men in Calcutta during many years when he served as banker for the organization directing Methodist missionary work. These contacts gave him clear insight into the industrial development of the country to the point that it now stands in seventh place among all the nations of the world. He told of valuable ore deposits and the subsequent facilities for manufacturing steel which now replaces British and American steel in bridges and other construction. India's iron and steel and her short staple cotton brought her into direct importance to Japan, the speaker pointed out, and India in turn has provided market for the material woven by Japanese labor from cotton purchased in India, and for sugar produced in Java, now in Japanese hands. Tweed per cent of India's teeming millions depend for subsistence upon her industries, the speaker stated. He closed an interesting and diversified talk by pointing out the great opportunities in world trade in a post-war period, by concerted action in the Occident in raising the standard of living in India and China, thereby increasing their buying power, and dwelt upon the challenge offered by bringing about equality among the peoples of India and a stoppage of the present exploitation of the poverty-ridden natives.
