Red Cross Campaign Finals Show That This City Attains High State Rating Tuesday night when Anaheim chapter, American Red Cross met in chapter headquarters on West Center street, final figures were given on results of the recent drive for funds to carry on the tremendous war aid program. Edward J. Power, local drive chairman, reported that the Anaheim area’s contributions totaled $22,185. This generous donation helped appreciably in boosting the Orange county total of $130,185, a sum that caused special rejoicing since it was $89,400 higher than the quota assigned the county. Mrs. Laura Warren, executive secretary for Orange county, announced the amounts raised, showing that Orange chapter subscribed $16,000; North Orange county produced $22,000, and southern Orange county which comprises the coast areas as well as Santa Ana, topped the list with $70,000. Mrs. Warren had gratifying news to relate in connection with results of the campaign. Arthur Basham, War fund field director for the Pacific area, was an Orange county visitor last week and head of TB Work In County Takes New School Post Of interest to local members of Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association, is the fact that Linton T. Simmons, recently elected to the association presidency, is the new acting superintendent of Placentia Unified schools. Simmons, whose home is in Santa Ana and who has served as assistant county superintendent of schools under Ray Adkinson for the past four years, was named by Placentia board of trustees to replace superintendent John B. Crossley, granted a military leave of absence. Crossley, who has also been acting superintendent of Valencia high school since resignation of A. P. Patton, in 1941, has been granted a military leave of action for the duration, and has enlisted in the V-12 program of the United States Navy. He enters the service with the rating of lieutenant (jg) and is to leave immediately for New York to take specialized training at Columbia University preparatory to an assignment as administrative officer to train youths in the Navy program. In assuming his new duties, Simmons will not include those of acting principal of Valencia high Mrs. Warren had gratifying news to relate in connection with results of the campaign. Arthur Basham, War fund field director for the Pacific area, was an Orange county visitor last week, and informed her that the most sensational happening in the area office during the progress of the drive, was Anaheim's achievement in so far surpassing its goal. In previous campaign, this city has always been down among the lowest donors. This year it was fifth from the top in the entire state of California, a position that filled the heart of every Red Cross member with pride. Director Basham stated that the entire county achievement occasioned special commendation in the area headquarters. Visiting Anaheim during the past week was Ben Carpenter, field representative of the Red Cross First Aid Water Safety program. Carpenter, who is no stranger to this city, having been former physical education director at the Union high school, was here to confer on plans for the summer program in that division. He met with Mrs. T. Jerry Youngs, chapter chairman; C. R. Brandon, water safety chairman, and H. E. Barnes, city councilman in charge of the parks. The latter expressed deep interest in the program and promised the city's cooperation in promoting life saving classes for young people approaching military age. The chapter agreed to ask the national office to provide a special swim manager for a two weeks' period, the time to be agreed upon later. Broadcast Planned For Citrus Growers "On the Citrus Front," that newly instituted radio program heard each Tuesday night at 7:45 o'clock in this area over stations KHJ and KVOE is proving very popular with local orange growers. The broadcast is a plan of MOD to keep growers fully informed on labor, processing, priorities, price ceilings, crop and market conditions and similar matters of importance the amounts raised, showing that Orange chapter subscribed $16,000; North Orange county produced $22,000, and southern Orange county which comprises the coast areas as well as Santa Ana, topped the list with $70,000. It was direct answer to prayer,” declared Mrs. Bureta, who has endured many months of sorrow and anxiety since she first received word that her son was missing in action. Pfc Door, a graduate of Union high school, is only 18 years old, but enlisted two years ago. He enlisted for foreign service and was with the Medical Corps stationed in the Philippines at the outbreak of the war. Since receiving the comforting word that her son is still among the living, Mrs. Bureta has made every effort to contact him through American Red Cross. So far these efforts have been unavailing, since all attempts to receive information on American prisoners of war of the Japanese must be made through Japanese Red Cross, and it has been impossible so far, to learn where the prisoners are being held. Pfc Door was one of 32 Californians named on the latest list of prisoners released by the War department. Another Orange county man was named as Austin M. Murdock, water tender first class, whose wife, Mrs. Florence Murdock, lives at 456 North Euclid avenue, Garden Grove. Car Owners Urged To Affix V. Tabs “Put your 1943 license plate tabs on your car as soon as you receive them,” was the request made by G. H. Garland, director of motor vehicles, when a survey disclosed the fact that thousands of drivers have failed to affix the Victory tabs, despite the fact that more than half of the state’s automobile owners already have received them. “The sooner people display their tabs, the sooner we will be able to clean up the 1943 license renewal,” Garland stated. He pointed out that the little tabs should be bolted to the upper right hand corner of the license plate, after the cover strip used last year, has been removed and donated to the local scrap metal piles. Watson Park Bill Given Approval By Lieut. Kuchel Recent comment made in the press of Orange county regarding the county’s “vacant seat” in the state Senate, was checked by announcement made this week from Sacramento that Lt. Thomas H. Kuchel of the U.S. Navy appeared before the senate’s ways and means committee on behalf of the Watson bill for purchase of beach frontage between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, as a state park site. Ways and means committee approved the bill, which was sent to the assembly floor with a “do pass” recommendation, proving that Lt. Kuchel was strong in his support of the measure introduced by Assemblyman Clyde Watson of Orange. In his address, Lieut. Kuchel pointed out that Huntington Beach oil fields contribute the greater part of the money in the state park fund, or about $1,000,000 annually. Purchase of the strip of land would complete almost 12 miles of unbroken beach frontage under county ownership. Further it would make the beach frontage available to all Southland counties for park privileges at a crucial time when other areas are closed by military necessity. The assembly ways and means committee still has pending before it, the bill by Assemblyman Sam L. Collins to pay $115,000 for the Hamilton Cotton 115-acre estate in San Clemente as a state Broadcast Planned For Citrus Growers "On the Citrus Front," that newly instituted radio program heard each Tuesday night at 7:45 o'clock in this area over stations KHJ and KVOE is proving very popular with local orange growers. The broadcast is a plan of MOD to keep growers fully informed on labor, processing, priorities, price ceilings, crop and market conditions and similar matters of importance to the industry. The plan was introduced as a means of overcoming difficulties of keeping the industry informed through customary channels, because of gas rationing, shortage of manpower and materials. "The sooner people display their tabs, the sooner we will be able to clean up the 1943 license renewal," Garland stated. He pointed out that the little tabs should be bolted to the upper right hand corner of the license plate, after the cover strip used last year, has been removed and donated to the local scrap metal piles. The V tabs are being shipped out as rapidly as they come from the manufacturers but department officials believe that it will be fully another month before all motorists are supplied. Supervisors Vote For Bond Purchase With Reserve Funds of County In accordance with a suggestion made by County Treasurer Terry E. Stephenson, that some of the county's idle cash be invested in war bonds, the board of supervisors have authorized the purchase. At their meeting Tuesday in the county courthouse, the supervisors took action on Stephenson's proposal, by authorizing the purchase of $500,000 in such bonds. The purchase will apply on the county's bond quota of more than six million dollars, by being credited proportionately to all local community quotas. There will be the additional advantage of revenue, for the bonds will yield approximately $15 per day in interest on the basis of the investment being made in one-year certificates of indebtedness bearing interest at the rate of seven-eighths of one per cent. Stephenson had pointed out that this rate of interest while low, is much higher than the rate heretofore paid by the various banks among which the funds have been distributed. Banks have paid only one half of one per cent on county funds on term deposit, and furthermore have announced that this rate of interest would be discontinued. Following Stephenson's recommendation of the type of war bond to be purchased, his proposal was approved by Supervisor Willard Smith, Orange banker who acted as the board committee. Orange county now has approximately $3,000,000 on deposit with no accruing interest, although much of it is for current operation of county government. An additional sum of $2,000,000 is on time deposit in different banks, at the earning interest of one half of one per cent, according to the treasurer's statement. Bank of America recently turned a million dollar deposit back to the county, unwilling to continue further payment of this rate of interest. Two County Girls Enter Training We are becoming accustomed to receiving telegrams and special delivery letters from feminine messengers, and to having feminine hands fill our gas tanks and transact our banking business.

For Mrs. Irene Lemke Maglio of the Anaheim-Olive boulevard, and Miss Jean Parker of Yorba Linda, left early this week for Sweetwater, Tex., to begin their four months' basic training in the Air Corps Ferry command.

Sgt. Gordon Purdy of SAAAB was soloist for the occasion, and reflected the season with his songs, "When I Have Sung My Song" and "The Lord's Prayer," to piano accompaniment played by Mrs. Stanley Frederick George. There was commotion singing as well, led by the Rev. Earl R. Berg of Calvary Baptist church, a member of the club, followed by the Easter story read by Miss Norma Tews. Program chairman Frank N. Gibbs introduced the Rev. Stanley Frederick George pastor of First Presbyterian church, as speaker, and his message was thoroughly appropriate to an Easter season in the midst of war. After bringing out the point that in the midst of the worldwide observance of the sacred preEaster week, the Allies celebrated the birthday anniversary of Hitler, "The symbol of murder and hate in today's world," by sending him gifts of bombs, he drew a parallel with the very first Easter week of church history. “There is no question as to what we shall do with Hitler,” he declared. “The question is, what shall we do with Jesus?” He explained that in that first Easter week, when the people were asked a similar question, they replied by turning the murderer loose, and crucifying Jesus. In addition to the thought-provoking program, Kiwanians under presidency of Ewald Lemcke, welcomed to membership, James B. Hansel, new manager of the local Kress store. He was inducted by Harry I. Horn, past club president, and district lieutenant governor.

They like it. They proved that fact to a man Thursday night when they gathered for a feast engineered by Chief Teed L. Wilder, in the Legion clubrooms in city hall. The fact too explains the reason for a notation in flaming red letters made on the police blotter—"Don't forget the spaghetti feed." They didn't forget it. Neither did Mayor Charles A. Pearson, City Clerk Charles A. Griffith and Councilmen Leo Sheridan, Robert Boney, H. E. W. Barnes and Ray Van Wagoner. Not to mention Police Judge Frank Tausch and City Attorney Leo J. Friis. Who else never forgot? Oh there was Chief Teed L. Wilder of course, although he maintains that he had nothing to do with preparing the spaghetti and its accompanying toothsome dishes. And there was Assistant Chief Arthur Bowen, and the whole staff, J. M. Pifer, Roger Sherman, Niles Fiscus, Gib Cheatum, Ralph Decker, Ivan Wood, Harry Hughes, Alfred Bennett, W. E. Otta, E. E. Blankmeyer, Grant Wood, Dillard Wilkirson, Earl Vipond and Joe Miranda. Not a man forgot. U. S.

Such was the case during the past week when American Legion and Legion auxiliary members took the lead in the farewell breakfast held in the city hall for 115 selectees before their departure for Los Angeles. Then only a day later a class whose members had successfully passed the rigorous physical tests, left for induction. Of the class from which these latest selectees were drawn, only 26 were rejected.
