Supervisor Gordon Acts Unofficially As "State Senator Selected by Orange county board of supervisors as its representative in Sacramento, Irvine George Gordon of Newport Beach, newest member of the county group, is in the capital city this week as the county's unofficial state "senator" for the time being. Gordon's familiarity with government affairs gained through his service as mayor of Newport Beach, was given as reason for his selection by the supervisors to look after county interests in various matters of legislation to come up this week. These matters were not designated, but unofficial opinion has been that some of them might concern the proposed purchase by the state, of beach frontage for state park purposes. People generally are aware of Gordon's interest in the proposed purchase of a beach tract between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, and the bill proposing allocation of $299,000 for its purchase. Gordon is the county's second "unofficial" appointee, since Willis Warner, chairman of the board of supervisors, was in the capital city a week ago for the same purpose. Health Films Are Available To Education Groups Announcement has been made by Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association of a list of educational health films, both sound and silent, which it will be prepared to release during May to instructors of home nursing, nurses' aid, pre-nursing, first aid, health science and physical education. The association has the cooperation of Orange County Health department in securing the 16 millimeter films, which vary in length of showing from 15 minutes to half an hour. One of the quarter hour films is in technicolor with nutrition as its subject, and is titled "Fun in Food," It portrays food constituents, their uses, requirements of the body and foods supplying these requirements. Other subjects include "Your Health Department," "Told by a Tooth," "Posture," "Morning to Night" (day in the life of a baby); "Prenatal Care," "A New Day," (modern pneumonia treatments); "Choose to Live" (a woman's victory over cancer); "Heart Disease," and a number of films (all sound) on tuberculosis and social diseases. Instructors wishing any of these films for use in their classes may obtain the list from the TB association, and check the films desired, together with notations regarding the time and place of programs, the group to be addressed and the approximate attendance expected.

Distribution of the books will begin in late June and be completed by July 21. Under a plan worked out by Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown and Postmaster General Frank C. Walker the mailing of a simple post care application is all that is necessary to secure the book. There will be no schoolhouse registration such as was necessary for obtaining the first two ration books. Plans as worked out are to have application forms good for a single person or for a family, left in every post box by mail carriers on their regular routes, sometime between May 20 and June 5. These cards, pre-addressed to OPA mail centers, will be filled out by the head of the household, stamped and mailed, and OPA mail center will begin sending out the book at the end of June. War Ration Book 3 will combine both unit and point stamps in eight pages. Unit stamps are those with which housewives have been purchasing sugar, coffee and shoes and point stamps are the ones with which canned goods, meat and fats have been purchased during the past few weeks. The new replacement book will not be called into immediate use. Its unit stamps will be available for coffee, sugar and shoe purchases when Book One expires in LOOSE TALK COSTS LIVES!

PLEASE DON'T TRAVEL unless absolutely necessary unless absolutely necessary Use the money to BUY WAR BONDS Winning the war is the most important job confronting us today—far more important than taking a week-end or vacation trip. Transportation is vital to this victory toward which we are now advancing. Because buses are already crowded with military traffic, war workers and others whose business is important to the nation's welfare, there is little room for vacation or pleasure travelers. That's why we say "Please don't travel unless you absolutely have to." Refrain from unnecessary travel now and buy War Bonds with the money you would spend for your trip.

War Board Assists In Deferment Of Essential Workers Orange County War board has announced that it will assist essential farm workers and their employers to secure deferment as provided by recent directives from the Federal Selective Service, in order to help maintain adequate food supplies. In making the announcement, Ransler J. Baker, county USDA War Board chairman, stressed the importance of keeping draft boards advised on the status of farm workers. He pointed out that each employer should see that information concerning the status of all his essential workers is filed with the workers' local Selective Service boards. Selective Service Form 42-A is provided for this purpose and should be filled in and filed with the board. A new form must be prepared each time a worker changes his status. Such information must be given in writing rather than verbally. California Heads List of States In War Contracts California now holds contracts for major war supplies and construction projects to the amount of $10,865,086,000, or more than 10 per cent of the national total, retaining its rank as first state in the nation in volume of war contracts. The three Pacific coast Bus Official Has Suggestions For Summer Travel "Please refrain from all absolutely essential travel d the coming months," is the of a message addressed to general public and which c surprisingly enough from Duck Hunter Finds Rifle Target In Japanese Pilot The story of a former duck hunter who put a rifle bullet squarely through the temple of a low-swooping Japanese bomber pilot was disclosed this week at the Army Air Forces West Coast Training Center's pre-flight training school in Santa Ana. Lt. S. G. Saltzman, a native of Wilmington, Del., now a student officer at SAAAB, was stationed on the island of Oahu as communications officer at the time the Japanese made their sneak attack on the island on the memorable morning of December 7, 1941. Lt. Saltzman was on duty at the time, and some of his men were stringing telephone lines to repair initial damage, offering a perfect target for the ground-strafing Jap planes. One of these planes swept down to machine-gun a lineman, and Lt. Saltzman snatched the nearest weapon, a Springfield rifle, and, with a whispered prayer, pulled the trigger. The plane fluttered, then dived straight to the ground. Investigation by Intelligence officers disclosed that Saltzman's bullet had gone directly to its target—the Jap flyer's temple. The young California Heads List of States In War Contracts California now holds contracts for major war supplies and construction projects to the amount of $10,865,086,000, or more than 10 per cent of the national total, retaining its rank as first state in the nation in volume of war contracts. The three Pacific coast states of California, Oregon and Washington now have total contracts to the amount of $15,131,-820,000, which is an excess of 14 per cent of the national total, according to the latest available WPB reports as compiled by the research department of the California State Chamber of Commerce. Michigan is second ranking state in volume of contracts awarded; New York is third; Ohio fourth and New Jersey fifth. The major war supply contract awards in California during the last quarter of 1942 were for military aircraft. Aircraft contract awards to plants in Los Angeles and San Diego areas totalled $1,117,408,000 during the three months period, bringing the cumulative total since June 1, 1940, to $5,690,624,000, or 22 per cent of the national total. New York stands second in aircraft awards and Connecticut is third. California shipbuilding awards, through additional contracts placed during the last quarter of 1942, reached a cumulative total of $2,615,859,000, or 15.7 per cent of the national total. Heaviest shipbuilding contracts awards were placed during the third quarter of 1942, when California shipyards received $823,115,000 in government orders. Contract awards for other war supplies in California amounted to $169,250,000 during the last quarter of the year, bringing the cumulative total to $556,744,000, or one and one-half per cent of the national total. RED CROSS DOUGHNUTS Doughnut flour and shortening sufficient to make a million and a half doughnuts for American service men in North Africa, were part of a huge shipment of supplies recently cleared from a U.S. port, according to A. L. Schafer, Red Cross manager of the Pacific area. Other items in the shipment Bus Official Hassles Suggestions For Summer Travel "Please refrain from all absolutely essential travel during the coming months," is the note of a message addressed to general public and which can surprisingly enough, from B. Ackerman, vice-president of Pacific Greyhound lines. Admitting that his advice leased in a statement to the company whose business promote travel, Vice-President Ackerman points out that while the war is far more vital everybody than taking week or vacation trips, and suggests that money which other would be spent on such might well be invested in bonds. He expressed full agreement with ODT Director J. Eastman that there will be room for civilian vacation pleasure travel and asserted his system's buses already taxed with military traffic workers and others whose necessity is important to the national welfare. Vacation pleasures and reation may be taken at Ackerman suggested and further pointed out that in the even essential travel, it be co- to the middle of the day whenever possible; that all information should be secure advance, and passengers can little baggage as possible. Cooperation, he said, would relieve the nation's over-transport facilities not vital to the successful prose of the war.

Announcement of the annual distribution of such beverages on the basis of location of landed premises, has been made by William G. Bonelli fourth district member of the state Board of Equalization. California cities counties will share the sum $1,129,207 for the six months. Of the sum allocated to Orange county, the unincorporated will receive $2,618.75. All municipalities, city of Santa Cruz will receive the largest amount $2,811.25, and La Habra smallest, $112.50.

Noting that the amount being apportioned is approximately $50,000 less than the sonding figure of a year, Bonelli attributed this to a toward reduction in the number of outlets for alcoholic beverages and to the board's policy line the issuance of licenses. NAZI SACRILEGE ... ... ... ... The typical Nazi disregard the sanctity of the church shown when a Norwegian citizen was taken over by the Nazis vaders and used as a bar for soldiers. Later it was stripped all furnishings including the hangings of the altar, and used as a store and accommodation for Nazi troops. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter ago. 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 May 2, 1918 The Santa Ana canyon road at Sulphur Slide seems to be hopelessly doomed. For several hundred feet there remains not a particle of the cement wall, nor even the road bed. The flood waters made a clean sweep, having cut in right up to the wall of the mountain side. Further west a large block of another section of the cement wall has broken out and should a stream of water work inside of that structure and the side of the mountain the rest of it would soon go out. The flood waters undermined the foundation of the walls and having washed out the piling, the cement walls collapsed. Were it possible to sink these pilings deep enough the cement wall plan might seem feasible, but otherwise it looks like a hopeless task. A road over the hill at that point seems to be the only solution. Mrs. L. E. Miller gave an informal party Friday afternoon to a number of her former schoolmates, the guest of honor being Mrs. Minnie Niehaus of Berkeley, formerly of Anaheim. Mrs. Niehaus is here on a visit to her sisters, Mrs. F. A. Backs Sr. and Mrs. Jos. Bennerscheidt. The hostess was assisted in serving refreshments by her sister, Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw. Those present were the hostess, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Grimshaw, Mrs. Niehaus' and Mendames J. J. Dwyer, E. R. Turck, H. A. Dickel, Arthur Lewis, Etta Schindler, Mattie Bennerscheidt 50 Years Ago May 4, 1893 The following pupils are taking the Examiner's World's Fair examination: Anna Frentz, Centralia; Zorah D.

Nourse Jr., Lela Mansur, Edith Johnson, Santa Ana; Susie Young, Maude Young, Fred Solomen, Westminster; Pearl Wall, Tustin. The two best scholars in this list will be given a free pass to the World's Fair. Each county contesting for the prize will be allowed to send two pupils and they will all go together in special cars in charge of the Examiner. The winners will be announced on Saturday by the county Board of Education. Assessor Ross was in town last Friday on business connected with his office. The largest taxpayer in Orange county this year is the Stearns Ranchos company whose taxes amount to something like $15,000, and the largest individual tax payer is Hon. W. H. Spurgeon of Santa Ana who pays taxes on an assessed valuation of $150,000. The San Joaquin is close to the Stearns Ranchos among the big taxpayers in the county, being probably second or third, the Bolsa drainage ditch company being well up among them. Mr. A. S. Bradford was in from Placentia on Monday and reports that the last of the cabbage crop Has Official Has Suggestions For Summer Traveling Please refrain from all but absolutely essential travel during incoming months,’ is the tenor of message addressed to the general public and which comes, irresistibly enough, from F. W. Hermann, vice-president of Pa.-Greyhound lines. Admitting that his advice, relied in a statement to the press most unusual as coming from company whose business is to note travel, Vice-President Hermann points out that winning war is far more vital to anybody than taking week-end vacation trips, and suggests money which otherwise would be spent on such trips, not well be invested in war bonds. He expressed full agreement with ODT Director Joseph Hermann that there will be scant effort for civilian vacation or secure travel and asserted that the system’s buses already are used with military traffic, war workers and others whose business is important to the nation’s welfare. Vacation pleasures and relaxations may be taken at home, Hermann suggested and further stated out that in the event of initial travel, it be confined to the middle of the week whenever possible; that all travel information should be secured in advance, and passengers carry as baggage as possible. Such operation, he said, would help save the nation's over-taxed transportation facilities now so well to the successful prosecution of the war. Decense Fees From Be Distributed When the sum of $13,468.75 is distributed in the near future among Orange county cities and incorporated areas as their due of $1,129,207, representing 8% of the alcoholic beverage sales for the final six months of 2022, Anaheim will receive $1,-75.

Mrs. Niehaus is here on a visit to her sisters, Mrs. F. A. Backs Sr. and Mrs. Jos. Bennerscheidt. The hostess was assisted in serving refreshments by her sister, Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw. Those present were the hostess, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Grimshaw, Mrs. Niehaus and Mesdames J. J. Dwyer, E. R. Turck, H. A. Dickel, Arthur Lewis, Etta Schindler, Mattie Bennerscheidt, W. Berdrow and Miss Lizzie Kuchel. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Hill and Mr. and Mrs. Orris Mullinix motorized over to San Jacinto and Hemet a few days ago to witness the scenes there after the earthquake. There was considerable damage to buildings in those two ill-fated towns. It is said that section experienced twelve distinct shocks, during a period of three days, although the worst were felt on Sunday afternoon when the temblor shook all of Southern California. Damage to the two cities is placed at several hundred thousand dollars. The time honored trick of putting nice, large red strawberries on top of the box and filling the bottom with inferior ones is doomed in Southern California if the various horticultural commissions throughout the southland have their say. The state law regarding standardization will be rigidly enforced from now on. The law requires the berries to be “practically uniform throughout the container in quality, color and maturity.” Street Superintendent Sackett, whose official duties with the city terminated on Tuesday evening, yesterday morning began his new position as yard foreman at the sugar factory. The city loses the best street superintendent it ever had, and the sugar company gets a man we can recommend as head chemist, superintendent or president of the company. A letter from Sergeant Hollis Knowlton, now somewhere in the east, tells of a performance of Otey Pettigrew of Brea, a graduate of the Fullerton high school, with rapid fire. Sergeant Knowlton writes: "Otey Pettigrew tied the world’s record for shooting rapid fire on the army course at 200, 300 and 500 yards last week individual tax payer is Hon. W. H.

The San Joaquin is close to the Stearns Ranchos among the big taxpayers in the county, being probably second or third, the Bolsa drainage ditch company being well up among them. Mr. A. S. Bradford was in from Placentia on Monday and reports that the last of the cabbage crop contracted for by the Earls has been shipped. The last assignments going out rapidly up to the first of the month. Twelve carloads were sent out last week, the growers being anxious to get their crop off at the contract price—$18. No contracts have been made for May cabbage, with the result that the price has gone down to $12 per ton. About sixty carloads were shipped at the contract price, and there are yet about seventeen carloads to go forward. The high school meeting at Kroeger's hall last Saturday evening, called by Dr. Hunt and Prof. Garwood, who oppose the formation of the district failed to pan out. There were about two dozen gentlemen present, nearly every one of whom favored the school, and inasmuch as Dr. Hunt failed to put in an appearance and Prof Garwood declined to set the ball rolling, the meeting adjourned without action. Vote for the high school. Members of the Orange County Chamber of Commerce will be over from Santa Ana next Saturday evening to address our citizens on the advisability of organizing a branch in this city. A meeting has been called to assemble at Kroeger's hall at 8 o'clock to hear the gentlemen and we are authorized to extend a cordial invitation to everybody interested to be present and take part in the meeting. The new boiler at the city water works was found to contain several leaks the other day, and a boilermaker from the Baker iron works was engaged to repair it. While helping in the work on Monday Engineer Schneider had the misfortune to severely scald his left hand by coming in contact with escaping steam. The Board of Supervisors on When the sum of $13,468.75 is distributed in the near future along Orange county cities and incorporated areas as their share of $1,129,207, representing 8% of the alcoholic beverage market for the final six months of 1922, Anaheim will receive $1,-75. Announcement of the semi-annual distribution of such funds on the basis of location of license premises, has been made by William G. Bonelli fourth district member of the state Board of Realization. California cities and counties will share the sum of $29,207 for the six months of the sum allocated to Orange County, the unincorporated area receive $2,618.75. Among municipalities, city of Santa Ana receives the largest amount, $11.25, and La Habra the smallest, $112.50. In the thousand-dollar brackets with Anaheim Laguna Beach, allocated $1,-50, and Newport Beach, $1,-25. Fullerton’s share of the distribution will be $475. Noting that the amount now being apportioned is approximate-$50,000 less than the correct figure of a year ago, Elli attributed this to a trendward reduction in the number outlets for alcoholic beverages to the board's policy limiting issuance of licenses. AZI SACRILEGE ... The typical Nazi disregard for the sanctity of the church was taken over by the Nazi insiders and used as a bar for their clients. Later it was stripped off furnishings including the plush garments of the altar, and used as store and accommodations for troops. A letter from Sergeant Hollis Knowlton, now somewhere in the east, tells of a performance of Otey Pettigrew of Brea, a graduate of the Fullerton high school, with rapid fire. Sergeant Knowlton writes: "Otey Pettigrew tied the world's record for shooting rapid fire on the army course at 200, 300 and 500 yards last week making 147 out of a possible 150 points in 30 shots." Ray Adams, who is in Company C, 319th Engineer regiment at Camp Fremont, writes to friends in this city that he is having a fine time. Ray says he has dug enough trenches to lay all the water pipe in the world. Herman Noll has been bereaved of another car.

Prof. C. R. Prince, Miss Bella Walker, Miss Ottillie Steckert and Miss Lucille Turner of the high school faculty, visited the schools at Pomona and Ontario Wednesday. They also went over to Hemet and San Jacinto to view the wreck. Dad Kennedy has received a letter from his son, William F. Kennedy containing the news that the soldier boy has been transferred from Camp Lewis to Fort Riley, Kansas. The new boiler at the city water works was found to contain several leaks the other day, and a boilermaker from the Baker iron works was engaged to repair it. While helping in the work on Monday Engineer Schneider had the misfortune to severely scald his left hand by coming in contact with escaping steam. The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday issued the yearly saloon licenses for the county.
