Women's Auxiliary Police Meets With Enthusiasm An important event in the city's defense program is scheduled for tonight in American Legion chambers in the city hall, where more than a score of Anaheim's public spirited women will join the ranks of the Women's Auxiliary Police, already established with 38 members. Work of the men's auxiliary police group has been found invaluable in preparing for any emergencies here, but upon the occasion of the recent March alert here in the Southland, it was discovered that fully 60 per cent of these men were employed out of the city. At that time, members of the auxiliary group conceived the idea of enlisting the women's aid. Mesdames Yuarda Ackerman, A. G. Kohler, Peter H. Funk, Harold Hile and James Young responded to this request and did valiant work as a recruiting committee, with the result that at an organizational meeting in the Legion clubrooms on March 30, the first group of 33 women were sworn in. Tonight's new class will go through the same finger-printing and identification processes, and will receive their arm bands, whistles and night sticks like their student speakers give program for Rotary Group Officer Nominees Proposed For Toastmaster Club Variety in trades and professions was represented by the nominees for Toastmaster club offices presented at this week's dinner meeting of the organization in its new club home, Mother's Kitchen on South Los Angeles street. Ranching was represented by LeRoy Ater, the nominating committee's choice for president. In the educational field was Richard Clowes, vice-president, who is principal of Loara school. Royal C. Marten, the selection for secretary-treasurer, is an instructor at SAAAB. M. E. Beebe, proposed sergeant-at-arms, is a local insurance man, and Leonard Schwacofer, nominee for district governor, is a local printer. Climaxing their talks was Superintendent Demaree's plea for Rotary cooperation in the current War bond drive, to aid this city in meeting its assigned quota of $800,000. He is local chairman for the drive in which the nation is asked for 13 billion dollars. President Robert H. Boney, the Rev. Thomas L. Burden and Lee C. Deming gave brief accounts of the Rotary district conclave which Hile and James Young responded to this request and did valiant work as a recruiting committee, with the result that at an organizational meeting in the Legion clubrooms on March 30, the first group of 33 women were sworn in. Tonight's new class will go through the same finger-printing and identification processes, and will receive their arm bands, whistles and night sticks like their predecessors in the civic movement. Duties of the Women's auxiliary will be only in daylight hours, and each will be assigned to a street intersection as near her own home as possible. Two and sometimes three women will be assigned to each station in the event of an alert, so no one will ever work alone. Their work will augment that of the men's group, which now numbers 205 auxiliary police, who cover the city from East street to Manchester boulevard on Center street, and from Ball road to Romneya drive on Los Angeles (Continued on page 7) Marine Reservist Will Train At Hunter College Anaheim's newest recruit among young women ready to serve in some needed capacity with the nation's military forces, is Miss Evelyn Hunton, who for the past three and a half years has been secretary to City Attorney Leo J. Friis. Miss Hunton will "Free a Marine to Fight," for she has enlisted as a private in the Women's Reserve of the U. S. Marine Corps. She took her oath last week before Capt. Norman S. Nyce, in change of the Marine Officer Procurement office, Los Angeles, and having passed all her examinations with flying colors, has been told to stand by for travel orders. These travel orders, when they come, will take her to New York City where she will enroll at Hunter College for six weeks' basic training leading to assignment to some Marine base to be named later. Her college work will be specialized, but will supplement that which she received at California Christian College, Los Angeles (now Chapman College, Whittier) after her graduation from Santa Ana Polytechnic high school. She is the daughter Ranching was represented by LeRoy Ater, the nominating committee's choice for president. In the educational field was Richard Clowes, vice-president, who is principal of Loara school. Royal C. Marten, the selection for secretary-treasurer, is an instructor at SAAAB. M. E. Beebe, proposed sergeant-at-arms, is a local insurance man, and Leonard Schwacofer, nominee for district governor, is a local printer. Election will take place at the next club meeting, at which time additional nominations may be made from the floor. President Paul Blocher conducted this week's session at which Richard Clowes served as toastmaster and Royal C. Marten as critic. On the speaking program were Paul H. Demaree on "What Makes a Citizen?", Dr. M. M. Henderson on "After the War—What?" and Millard Parks on 'War Time Expeditors." Councilmen Confer Together on Facts and Figures Mayor Charles A. Pearson and city councilmen spent a busy evening with facts and figures Tuesday night in city hall council chambers. Figures reached the high sum of $165,899.84, reported by City Treasurer A. G. Tuma as the total amount in the treasury. The general fund balance was reported as $142,207.35, and warrants and demands for the period of March 15 to 31 were allowed to the sum of $35,607.25.

These represented principally, the new industries locating here, including Consolidated, since there is no residence building at present under priorities in effect. When it came to law infractions, Police Chief Teed L. Wilder had a total of 39 arrests to report, together with 116 citations for traffic violations.

Curtis Case to a three-year term on the city library board of trustees. Other business considered Higher Bean Prices Are Promised Recently announced increase of 90 cents per 100 pounds in government support prices for dry edible beans should result in a material increase in plantings in Orange county, in the opinion of Ransler J. Baker, county AAA chairman. Price supports were announced at $6.50 per 100 pounds for U. S. No. 1 grade of pea, great northern, small white, flat small white, pinto, pink, small red and cranberry beans in carload lots cleaned and bagged, at country shipping points. Lima, baby lima, light red kidney, dark red kidney and western red kidney varieties will be supported at $7.50 per 100 pounds.

These loans will make it possible for growers to finance harvesting operations and still retain title to the crop it was explained. In view of the increased price ceilings no incentive payments are now contemplated on beans though incentive payments will be made on potatoes and fresh truck crops as previously announced. These travel orders, when they come, will take her to New York City where she will enroll at Hunter College for six weeks' basic training leading to assignment to some Marine base to be named later. Her college work will be specialized, but will supplement that which she received at California Christian College, Los Angeles (now Chapman College, Whittier) after her graduation from Santa Ana Polytechnic high school. She is the daughter of Mrs. Darlie M. Hunton, 1018 West Sixth street, Santa Ana. She has been active in defense work in this city, and was identified with the Women's Ambulance Corps prior to its transference to Fullerton.

Curtis Case to a three-year term on the city library board of trustees. Other business considered by the group was the moving of 123,380 pounds of scrap from the salvage yard on South Claudina street, and the fact that Thomas H. Kirven will move the balance of the salvaged material as rapidly as possible. Quotas Are Named For Current War Bond Campaign Southern California's quota of $221,216,500 in the huge Second War drive, has been broken down into county and city quotas, according to Paul H. Demaree, Anaheim drive chairman. Of this sum, Orange county has been assigned the task of raising $6,057,000, Chairman Demaree explained, while Anaheim must meet her quota of $800,000. These figures are exclusive of allotments to banks, he stated. "The amount to be raised in the three weeks' drive is large, but it must and will be raised" Chairman Demaree declared. He pointed out that the task was not out of proportion to the increased income of the people, due to war industries, and stressed the importance of the drive's slogan, "They give their lives—you lend your money."

They were accompanied by their son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hughes of Fullerton, and their baby son Dennis. The little family party had only a few days with their daughter and sister, who had to forego the usual short furlough granted nurses called to such service, because of the shortness of the notice given. Five nurses out of Lieut. Hughes' class of 100 at Camp Beale, were called. She has been stationed at Camp Beale ever since her induction on December 9. A native daughter of Anaheim, Lieut.

Or maybe it rolled up for them. Anyway in Fire Chief Rudolph Nyboe's report submitted Tuesday night to the city council, it developed that the men were called out on only one fire during the entire month. And it was a sort of a two-penny ha'-penny fire at that. An automobile which blazed merrily away in the 200 block on West Center street. Too bad for the car owner, but good exercise for the firemen.

Bob Rimpau Interviewed On Nation-Wide Radio Former Union high school classmates of Lieut. A. R. ("Bob") Rimpau, pilot of one of the famous Flying Fortresses in North Africa, had the thrill of hearing their former schoolmate on a nation-wide radio program last week, when he talked on the recent airplane raid on the Axis North African base at Cagliari. Lieut. Rimpau, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theo. R. Rimpau, Route 2, Box 171, has many relatives in this city, including his grandmother, Mrs. Adolph Rimpau, 119 South Melrose street, his great-aunt, Miss Sophie Rimpau, 309 South Palm street, and various cousins.

He starred in athletics in both schools, especially in football and baseball. Following his enlistment for Air service he trained at King City, Stockton and Geiger Fields and is now making a brilliant record for bravery as Flying Fortress pilot in North Africa. In his radio interview Lieut. Rimpau told of the raid of 100 of the big Fortresses, all of which returned safely after doing almost incalculable damage to the Axis base. He declared "If there was 10 War Effort Told To Kiwanians Importance of Public Schools week was given due recognition at Tuesday's Kiwanis club meeting over which President Ewald Lemcke presided in Elks clubhouse, where members of Union high school's student commission provided special program features. These were under program chairmanship of Kiwanian Clyde Nickle, a member of the faculty. One of the points of special interest brought out by the young people was that the school is eligible for the Minuteman flag awarded by the U. S. Treasury department on War bond and stamp sales. The high school has sold a total of $87,000 in bonds and stamps so far this year. Other school activities as geared to prevailing war time conditions were outlined by the speakers, who stated that school activities during the coming weeks would revolve around the new war bond drive, with every effort centered in raising the school's quota. Members of the commission who took part in the program were Ray Yelkin, president; Don Baggott, vice-president; Betty Sims, secretary; Mary Adams, finance; Marjorie Metzger, girls' athletics; Lester Jones, boys' athletics; Norma Tompkins, safety and welfare, and Warren Heckman, student affairs. Frank N. Gibbs announced that next Tuesday's Kiwanis program will be on the Easter theme, and will be presented in cooperation with the Anaheim Ministerial association. Local Basso Works In Production of Irving Berlin Show Work in the various Hollywood studios continues to demand all the time that Albert M. Cranston popular local basso, can possibly spare from his teaching, and at present Cranston, whose home is at 206 South Rose street, is working on three different pictures at as many studios. Perhaps most interesting of the three, is the Warner Brothers production of Irving Berlin's "This Is the Army." For while Cranston takes no dramatic role in the picture since he is engaged for his voice alone he has opportunity senior class who sped up his high school graduation by attending summer school in order to become a mid-term graduate. His reason for this, was his eagerness to join the Marines, and he enlisted in early December, after completion of his high school work.

His brother Ensign Richard Novello Mendoza, who was commissioned in early March at the Naval Training Center, Corpus Christi is now stationed at Miami, Flas- as pilot in a fighter squadron. When plans for tomorrow night's concert were nearing completion, Miss Elizabeth Hunzike in charge of vocal feature wrote to Pvt. Mendoza's captain at the Marine Base, asking that the young man might be permitted to return to his home school for the event. This request was granted freely, which is not at all surprising to those who know that record the young man has made in his school career and in his determinatio nto join the Marine At present he is attached to the public relations office at the Marine Base. Tomorrow night's concert will culminate the open house event at the high school. Superintendent Paul H. Demaree and his entire staff of teachers will welcome guests to all departments.

For the club has devised a Service Man's book to distribute through fraternal and civic organizations, whereby mourists who give a lift to some lads in his country's service, or entertain him in private homes, may retain a record of the event.

City Wells Record High Level Water level in the city wells registered 111 feet on April 1, the highest point reached since February 1, 1930. Steady rains of the late winter were credited for the high level. An unusual plan now being put into effect by Anaheim 20-club, promises to have far-reaching results. For the club has devised a Service Man's book to be distributed through fraternal and civic organizations, whereby men torists who give a lift to some local in his country's service, or entertain him in private homes, may retain a record of the event. This record is not for the personal satisfaction of owners of the little booklet. Twenty-Third men have a much broader vision than that. They have systemized the pages in such a manner that each one will offer a message to transcribed on a postcard and relayed to the service man's family or anyone whom he may designate. The booklets, attractively printed in two colors, and with the American flag and the 20-30 signe both given prominence, may be carried in the glove compartment of a car and always ready to hand to a chance ride. The owner after transcribing the message, will have a last-minute memorial of his thoughtfulness.

ETTE Year 15, 1943 NUMBER 29 One Will Return Take Part In School Event Placentian To Be Installed As Native Sons President With the selection of a capable staff of officers headed by S. James Tuffree of Placentia as president, Mother Colony parlor No. 281, Native Sons of the Golden West is preparing to take its place as one of the community’s outstanding civic organizations following formal institution on Friday night, April 30. Response from native Californians of the North Orange county area has been enthusiastic ever since the plan of instituting a local parlor was first proposed here by Native Sons Leonard Schwacfer and John M. Johnston. Organizational meetings held in Elks clubhouse have been well attended and that held Friday night indicated the enthusiasm prevailing. Southland deputies were hosts at the dinner which preceded a general meeting and election of officers. The vote was unanimous for James Tuffree as the parlor's first president. He is a prominent rancher of the Placentia area, and represents one of the county's oldest and most substantial families. Officers elected with the same unanimity of spirit included the senior and junior past presidents, necessary for the conduct of the parlor business affairs and all the Civilians Will Have Freedom Again Of Popular Irvine Park Good news to all Orange county folk whose idea of a perfect outing is a picnic in Irvine park providing they can scrape together the necessary picnic fare, plus the gas and tires, is the fact that today, April 15, celebrates the military's relinquishment of the park back to the county. For the past six months the historic retreat, gift to the county from James Irvine, has been occupied by U.S. infantry troops under the command of Col Clarence Jenni. During the interval the county has kept a few civilian employees on the task of keeping up park facilities, but now with the evacuation of the troops there will be certain employment difficulties according to Supervisor Willard Smith, chairman of the park committee. Although the Army left the park a week ago, a few soldiers have remained to police the grounds and leave them in the same condition as when the military took over, as per agreement. However the present difficulty of getting civilian help makes it seem advisable to keep the park open to the public only on weekends. Supervisor Smith has pointed out that the supply of county prisoners usually available for work in the park, has dwindled noticeably, so that shortage of labor will make it necessary to restrict opening days. Reason for the Army's surrendering the park to the county is that James Irvine has made ad- Class who sped, up his high graduation by attending school in order to become a term graduate.

The record is not for the per-atisfaction of owners of the Farm Labor Committee To Hear Plan For Conserving Valuable Crops When Orange county's Farm Labor committee meets next Tuesday its members hope to hear the complete plan and recommendations of the volunteer labor division and its chairman, Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg, on the spread of Fullerton's Victory Shift plan to all Orange county farm products processors. The plan was first put into effect by the Hunt Brothers' plant (formerly the Val Vita company) at Fullerton, and was disclosed to the Farm Labor committee at last week's meeting. It was then proposed that the matter be left to Wahlberg's committee to work and details that might apply to each community. Working with the farm advisor on a plan for action are D. W. Tubbs, county agricultural commissioner; Linton Simmons, representing the county school system, and Don Cram, head of the farm replacement division of the U. S. Employment service, all members of the Farm Labor committee. The tentative plan of operation calls for establishment of a food production council in each community, with chambers of commerce or local newspaper offices to be asked to maintain headquarters for recruiting local farm labor corps. Civilian Defense setups in each community will be asked to aid in conducting intensive search for volunteers from business and professional men and women. Such volunteers would be card indexed to show those available for emergency work, the days and hours when such work could be undertaken, and the types of work for which each individual might be suited. Efforts would be made to place volunteer workers in or near the own communities, it was stated, and a standard record is not for the per- satisfaction of owners of the booklet. Twenty-Thirty have a much broader vision what they have systematized pages in such a manner which one will offer a message transcribed on a postcard played to the service man's or anyone whom he may date. Booklets, attractively printed in two colors, and with the clean flag and the 20-30 inch given prominence, may be carried in the glove compartment of a car and always be put to hand to a chance rider. Owners after transcribing the note, will have a lasting special of his thoughtfulness. Booklets are to be given initial distribution, and anyone copying copies may obtain them at charge, by addressing Nicketo Anaheim 20-30 club, 210 N. street.
