Melrose Abby Inc. Names Officers At Its Recent Annual Meeting Election of officers shared interest with yearly reports at the recent meeting of Melrase Abbey, Inc., held in the offices of the Abbey mausoleum on 101 highway. Election saw the return of all officers, Bob Fernandez, Santa Ana, as president; W. A. Mills, Fullerton, vice-president; E. R. McCoy, Anaheim, treasurer, and W. T. Lambert, former Orange county auditor, secretary-manager. Business reports were of particular moment, since they showed the steady advance of the company during the year just closing, and indicated continued advance in the coming year. One of the improvements of the past year was the addition of a new corridor on the ground floor level, opposite the beautiful "Acacia" corridor with its stained glass window in scenic design. The new corridor is a sunny, airy one whose wide landscape window opens upon a grassy court where pink roses clamber over their white trellises. The whole effect is of sunny spaciousness, far different from the funereal atmosphere of many mausoleums. In fact this atmosphere of nature and the freedom of the outdoors has always been a feature of Melrose Abbey, for the careful planning of the building in relation to the spacious grounds has resulted in a serene and quiet beauty that offers its own comfort to grieving hearts. All the ground floor corridors lead from the little chapel itself, where the most arresting note of the entire Abbey is sounded in the big stained glass window depicting the Sermon on the Mount. This, with the rose window above the entrance, and the scenic win- APRIL QUOTAS Of the quota of 4,881 new passenger autos set by the OPA for April rationing in the five western states, California was granted 3,055, highest number on the list. Bicycle quotas for this state were set at 10,918, also the highest percentage of the five states. window of the Acacia corridor, were created by a famous artist formerly of Tiffany's in New York City, and are acclaimed as among the finest examples of such work in the country. All the corridors are of marble construction, the new one being developed in Colorado Yule trimmed with imported Italian marble. With similar basement and second floor corridors, the new one brings Melrose Abbey's present capacity up to 2500 crypts. With unlimited grounds at their command, members of the company plan for continued expansion, for they have ample room for establishment of no less than a hundred thousand similar crypts as time goes on. Because Melrose Abbey was designed to be in harmony with nature's peace and beauty, it has become identified with many happy things as well as hours of grief. Its fine Moller pipe organ on the mezzanine, not only adds dignity to burial rites but has been heard on memorable concert program and to signal the advance of many a happy bridal party. Because of seating facilities and acoustics of the chapel, it has become a favorite spot for fine concert programs where many of the county's young artists have been presented in recitals. The Sunday afternoon "Musical Memory hour, long a popular feature, has been discontinued for the duration but will be resumed as soon as possible, according to America's Food Emergency A Statement by Santa Fe United States facing most critical "crop year" in its history. During the coming months, the need for more food may be greater than the need for more guns, tanks and planes. Serving, as it does, "the breadbasket of America," the livestock and meat industry, and the great fruit and vegetable areas of California and the Southwest, Santa Fe pledges its all-out effort in the production and mobilization of food. What Santa Fe Is Doing Santa Fe employees are planting Victory Gardens along their railroad's cars are few and hours are precious. Every hour a freight car stands idle holds back food or other vital war freight from folks who need it. Every unused cubic foot squanders vital space. The supply experts of the Army and Navy, the ODT, and the Interstate Commerce Commission Bureau of Service are all focusing on this problem. How Shippers Are Helping guns, tanks and planes. Serving, as it does, "the breadbasket of America," the livestock and meat industry, and the great fruit and vegetable areas of California and the Southwest, Santa Fe pledges its all-out effort in the production and mobilization of food. What Santa Fe Is Doing Santa Fe employees are planting Victory Gardens along their railroad's 13,199 miles of right-of-way. Everything that rolls on the Santa Fe is being kept in fighting trim. Old cars with good running gear are being rebuilt into sleek new gondolas. Many Santa Fe refrigerator cars that used to go back "dead-head" now hurry back loaded with other freight. Cars are few and hours are precious. Every hour a freight car stands idle holds back food or other vital war freight from folks who need it. Every unused cubic foot squanders vital space. The supply experts of the Army and Navy, the ODT, and the Interstate Commerce Commission Bureau of Service are all focusing on this problem. How Shippers Are Helping Shippers are helping and can continue to help (1) by maximum loading; (2) by quicker loading; (3) by quicker unloading. More than 57,000 Santa Fe folks join with the farmers, the livestock producers, the shippers, and the consumers of all America to help meet the greatest food crisis our nation has ever faced. * They're On The Job, Too! For years the Agricultural Development Department of Santa Fe has cooperated with growers all along the line, for greater production per acre, through better seeds and better cultural methods. For example: The people of the middle Rio Grande know how the desert has been converted into paying crops. The folks in Blue Water Valley of western New Mexico know how the production of vegetables has increased from 86 to 1076 carloads in the past three years. The potato growers of Kern County, California, know how Santa Fe cooperated in stamping out ring rot and blight. This year, the people in the Texas Panhandle are bringing in their first harvest of waxy kaffir which promises to produce the starch for tapioca and other important products that formerly came from the cassava roots of Java. In the present national food emergency, these people of Santa Fe's Agricultural Development Department are working harder than ever, doing everything they can to help food growers all along the line.

S. Marines stationed here their information in “securing appropriate action” from Japanese prisoners who do not understand English. Published under the title “Japanese Language for Front Line Troops,” the card lists the English commands and their equivalent translation into Japanese capitals with the Jap phone pronunciation in lowercase letters. Thus, upon capturing a Jap Marine will call upon him to render his arms by calling “Buki Wo Watase,” to halt the command “Tomare.” ORDERS GIVEN PRISONERS The son of Tojo having dropped his weapons on the ground he be commanded to “put your hands up and move ahead” by a Mae who commands “Ryo Te Agero Susume.” If the prisoner moves too slow his Marine captor will urge on with a growled “Isogawa hurry! If he proves to be the least recalcitrant he will be told to down and keep quiet with “Yu Ni Nare Demare,” the first two words of which can be translated as “Reclining position in become.” “Ka” indicates a question mark as our question mark does at end of a sentence, so the Japan be asked what his name is or “Namae We Nani Ka.” When answers he will be told to write it “Kaite kure,” in Roman leftright “Romaji De,” or in Japanese bange Da.” Workers Are Denied Extra Gas For Summer Home Trips Dashing the hopes of many war workers, who like to move to beach or mountain cabins for the summer and commute from there to their duties, was announcement made this week by the OPA in Washington that extra gasoline rations will not be allowed in such cases this year because of the general rubber shortage.

These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago April 25, 1918 People who predicted that a strong Santa Ana wind or a gentle earthquake shock would reduce our age-enfeebled city hall to a heap of brick and mortar were wrong in their prognostications. Last week the strongest Santa Ana wind within the memory of the oldest inhabitant came out of the canyon and for two days and nights tested its strength against the grim old walls, but had no perceptible effect on the old building. Then came the earthquake test. Sunday the temblor that was born in the San Jacinto mountains came rumbling under the surface of the earth and considerably jarred things in Anaheim. The gaunt and decrepit old derelict, especially its 1882 model tower, creaked and groaned under the strain, but it was still standing when the earth quit trembling. But the quake, in the short space of thirty seconds put an end to the usefulness of the city hall. The city trustees made an examination of the building Monday evening and agreed that the ornamental facade on the northeast corner and its two small towers is unsafe and a section of the sidewalks has been fenced off in front of this portion of the building to prevent pedestrians passing under it. Although the earthquake was the most severe shock ever experienced here the damag was of no consequence. Charley McAulay writes from Mare Island where he is training in the naval school that he expects to be transferred to New York. 50 Years Ago April 27, 1892 The line of continuous development in Southern California is indicated by a transaction, reported a few days ago, in which Mr. Andrew McNally, of Rand, McNally & Co. of Chicago, purchased two thousand acres of land from Mr. Robert Northam near Buena Park. He proposes to colonize the land, and no doubt, as the Los Angeles Herald remarks, we shall soon be treated to another magical scene of development in which water development and enterprise and industry will do their perfect work as they have done so often in the past. Anaheim pointed the way of all the colonies of Southern California, which are all that have so far been established in this state, and it is pleasant to know that her splendid example is going to be repeated in her own neighborhood. One day while Ed Morgan was hunting rabbits down on the desert at New River he came across a huge rattlesnake, coiled up under a Mesquite bush, with its head aloft and its tongue darting out is if ready to strike. Ed had his gun ready for any stray rabbit that might come down his way, and when he came upon the snake, blazed away at it instantly, and then beat a hasty retreat until the smoke and dust had cleared away. When he had reached a safe distance he turned and surveyed the field and found that his snakeship was writhing in the jaws of death, as it were. The reptile had been hit in the neck and when it succumb- he will be told to lie and keep quiet with "Yoko Demare," the first three lines of which can be translated declining position in become." indicates a question much over a sentence, so the Jap will ask what his name is with Mae We Nani Ka."

A program was rendered, which was greatly enjoyed by the visitors. Dr. J. P. Brastad gave a saxophone solo, accompanied by Mrs. Winslow Hyde, Miss Fay Kern and Miss Dorothy Rockwell gave readings, and Dr. Harriet Bigham lectured on Alaska. William Fox died at his home on Broadway Friday after a long illness. Mr. Fox was an old resident of Anaheim having come here in his boyhood. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Viola Fox, a son Harvey Fox and two daughters, Misses Anna and Dorothy Fox. The funeral occurred on Monday at Backs & Terry's parlors. Interment in Anaheim cemetery. out is if ready to strike. Ed had his gun ready for any stray rabbit that might come down his way, and when he came upon the snake, blazed away at it instantly, and then beat a hasty retreat until the smoke and dust had cleared away. When he had reached a safe distance he turned and surveyed the field and found that his snakeship was writhing in the jaws of death, as it were. The reptile had been hit in the neck and when it succumbed Ed cut off the head and skinned it. The rattler measured six feet and had seven rattles, the end of the rattles having been broken off. Experts say it must have had twenty rattles. The skin is a very beautiful specimen and is now in the possession of Mrs. Everharty to whom Ed presented it sometime ago. J. E. Hoy of Washington, D. C., has purchased a part of the Joel B. Parker ranch at Villa Park. He purchased forty acres, twenty-nine of which are in Mediterranean Sweet orange trees in full bearing and good condition. Conservative estimates place the crop of this season at 9,000 boxes. Evidently Hr. Hoy has made a good buy, as we understand from the Orange News that he has already refused an advance of $1,500 on the price paid which was $21,000. He has arranged for the planting of eleven acres of the vacant land to lemons, and will commence to erect a fine dwelling on the premises at an early date. He expects to be comfortably domiciled in his new home early in August. Telegrams from England are to the effect that the last carload of naval oranges shipped to Liverpool brought $3.65 per box and would have bought $4.50 to $5 a box, but for the fact that the market was full of Mediterranean oranges. At $3.65 the growers get a clear profit of $1.60 per box. Wesley Alms left for Los Angeles yesterday where he will join Mr. and Mrs. Gilman and their party on their camping trip to the Yosemite valley, Mount Shasta and different points of interest in the northern part of the state. The party will be absent during the summer.

Mr. Whitaker believes this entertainment is a good thing and expects to see a large audience at each performance. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Heying and Dr. and Mrs. Closson motored over to San Jacinto Monday to see the wreck caused by the earthquake which was quite severe in that locality. Ben Berinbaum has invested his spare change in an auto and now when he wants to go anywhere he hops in and gives her the gas and is off on his journey. A. Pierotti, the well known Placentia orange grower was in town on Monday morning. Mr. Pierotti contemplates a trip to Italy with his family after the war. Dr. H. A. Johnston was attending the meeting of the state medical association at Monterey last week, being the representative from Orange county. Milton Pannier, who is in training at San Pedro came up Sunday on a visit to his parents. Rev. H. G. Schmelzer was attending a conference of ministers at Santa Ana last week. Wesley Alms left for Los Angeles yesterday where he will join Mr. and Mrs. Gilman and their party on their camping trip to the Yosemite valley, Mount Shasta and different points of interest in the northern part of the state. The party will be absent during the summer. Prof. Grogan informs us that there are already 662 children on the census rolls up to date, and there are probably a dozen more to place in the rolls. Last year we had 577 census children, the increase this year being upwards of a hundred children. This will give us ten teachers next year. Our esteemed contemporary the Orange Post has donned a brand new head—a sort of Easter bonnet as it were—and is just as pretty, besides being one of the ablest and best written papers in the county. A meeting of the orange growers will be held in this city this evening to discuss the question of organization and co-operation. Full particulars of the plan proposed will be found set forth on the first page. In the rapid computation drill at Woodburys college in Los Angeles one day last week, Joseph Backs reached the speed of adding fifty figures in ten seconds. This is the fastest speed yet attained by any pupil in the school. Mr. Darling is erecting a frame building on his lot west of his residence below the Southern Pacific depot. It is reported that it will be used as a store, with Louis Bolz as manager. The dreaded infliction is upon us! Hoopskirts have arrived.
