Kiwanis District Governor Makes Official Visit Here "Statesmanship is a far more important qualification for public office today, than a mere vote-getting ability," Thomas E. Gore of Riverside, governor of the California-Nevada district, Kiwanis International, assured an attentive audience of Kiwanians Tuesday night when he was guest speaker at a division meeting in Anaheim Elks club.

In discussing statesmanship, he stressed the necessity of choosing as leaders, men who are statesmen rather than politicians, and then giving them full support and encouragement in handling the problems not only of the present war era, but of the post-war period. Protection of the small businessman as the only remaining bulldog.

H. Bonney is principal. For not only did they unfurl to the breezes their beautiful Minute Man flag, won as a result of their successful War bond and stamp sales, but every pupil in the school was privileged to take a ride in the Army jeep brought to the school by Capt. Fiat of the Santa Ana Army Air Base. For the past eight weeks, Fremont young people have conducted a spirited campaign in which War Bonds and stamps were purchased to the amount of $5066.75. Sales have progressed under supervision of the Honor club sponsored by Miss Ruth Gredis of the faculty, assisted by Miss Edna Wisely, student government sponsor. To win a Minute Man flag, a school must show that 90 per cent of its student enrollment has purchased bonds or stamps. Fremont school registered 99 per cent, so in Friday morning, Melbourne A. Gauer, elementary school district superintendent, made the award of the coveted banner to the student body. It was accepted for the school by Bill Kellogg, president of the student body and “general” of the winning Air Corps who registered 100 per cent in bond and stamp purchase. Other ranking generals were Eloise Roquet and her Paratroopers; Lynn Boliek and his Tank Corps and Shirley Beneke and her Infantry. Enlisting as privates, the young people were advanced in rank as they purchased stamps and bonds, with lieutenant general as the highest rank, for purchase of a minimum of $75. Many made this rank, including Marjorie Schutte whose purchases topped all others, since her $450 in bonds represent a final value of $600. Other lieutenant generals were Mary Middleton, Teddy Lou Payne, Kenneth Dorn, John Hathaway, Bill Kellogg, Virgil Fast and Jean Eaton. Twenty-five pupils purchased an $18.75 bond or its equivalent in stamps; and 108 purchased a minimum of $10 in stamps. As a sequel to Friday's celebration, General Bill Kellogg and his Air Corps will be complimented soon at a dinner at which the other military units will be hosts.

This fact was called to the attention of generous Anaheim blood donors today by Mrs. Llewellyn Wilson and Mrs. J Ben Kaulbars, of the Blood Donor service of Anaheim Red Cross, with the reminder that the mobile blood bank is to visit this city a week from tomorrow. The unit is the new and much larger unit recently arrived from Washington, and with its staff of a dozen or more capable nurses, will be able to care for many more donors in the period assigned to this city. It will be at Ebell clubhouse Friday morning, May 28, at 8:40 o'clock and will remain to receive blood donations until 12:40 p.m. Members of the local Red Cross staff and of the Canteen will be present to aid, and it is hoped that many new donors will respond to the daily increasing need for blood plasma. Anaheim must have 225 donors in order to meet its assigned quota. Such donors are asked to register in advance if possible, by telephoning Red Cross headquarters, 2065, or Mrs. Kaulbars, 4237. Capt. John Irwin Brings Down Famed Nazi Plane Dispatches from London this week, carried news of much exciting interest to Dr. and Mrs. Charles Irvin, 500 North Clemenetine street, for they told of the aerial exploits of their son, Capt. John D. Irvin, in downing one of the famed German Focke-Wulf fighting planes in an air combat somewhere in Europe." Piloting a P-47 Thunderbolt over Europe during widespread week-end raids, Capt. Irvin brought down one of the highly publicized Nazi fighter planes, according to the dispatches. In his vivid description of the action, the young American fighter pilot said "I've never seen so many airplanes in a dog fight... Before I fired three times I saw smoke pouring from his engine. Then I circled until I saw him crash." Dr. and Mrs. Irvin's 24-year-old hero son, a graduate of Union high school and Fullerton junior college, has been flying the P-47 Thunderbolt during this first month of its use in the European war zone. He has been above France, according to word received by his parents, but they believe this latest action to have been nearer the German centers. Capt. Irvin has been overseas since last November as flight commander and operations officer with the Army Air forces, having been detailed to overseas duty shortly after his marriage on October 24 in San Francisco to Miss Betty Jane McNevin of that city.

Those in attendance were given a clearer understanding of critical situation with regard to men in military service, by talks by Capt. Jones and Lieut. Perkins. Both stated that there are no rental properties available for officers coming into the basement so that both Army and Navy ficcers find it necessary to take a sort of accommodation that offers frequently having to move in with fellow officers in already occupied conditions.

Kohlenberger, prominent Fullerton physician, was called only a month ago and is now stationed at the Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C.

Kohlenberger has expressed keen interest and satisfaction in his work. He is at present taking a course in tropical diseases and medicine at Army Medical School in preparation for assignment to some post. There is no indication as to where this assignment may take him, but his family and friends are hoping that it may prove to be in the continental United States, since the proficiency in treatment of tropical diseases is of equal importance for returning troops as in points where such diseases are contacted.

No Polio Danger At County Beaches Because of the popularity of Orange county beaches as a summer playground for all the county’s young people, Anaheim parents will welcome the statement made this week by Dr. Edward Lee Russell, county health officer to the effect that there are known infantile paralysis cases in the beach area.

In the release, the Navy department stated that Signalman Monroe's wife, Helen Monroe, lives at 311 North Paline street. Five Orange county men were listed, the group including also Chief Machinist's Mate Frank Herman Stemmer, whose mother, Mrs. Bertha Stemmer lives in Brea; Lieut. (j.g.)

Four Roads to Romance Association Four Roads to Romance Association Officers Named From This County Orange county took high rating at the annual meeting of the Roads to Romance association held last week at Carlsbad Hotel, for the presidency and two directorships came to this county in addition to the customary county vice-presidency. Anaheim will be represented on the directorate by Supervisor James A. Baker, with Supervisor Willard Smith of Orange as the second county man so honored. Howard Irwin, Fullerton realtor, was named to the presidency. The Orange county vice-presidency was accorded Ernest Spencer of Santa Ana, manager of Radio KVOE. One of the events of the session was the tour of Joseph Pendleton Marine Base on famous Santa Margarita Rancho, as guests of the commanding officer, General Joseph C. Fegan. While there they not only witnessed the review of the 24th Marines and the Raiders, but also saw the ceremony in which Gunnery Sgt. Victor Maghakian was decorated by Gen. Fegan with the Silver Star medal for bravery. Sgt. Magakian, 27, was a formed deputy sheriff at Fresno. He was awarded the Silver Star for bravery in the Solomons when he acted as a human target to draw a sniper's fire while his men wiped out a Jap machine gun nest. The citation, read by Lieut. B. A. Reed of Lubbock, Tex., said in part ... "During the engagement with the Japanese on Guadalcanal, Sgt. Maghakian assumed leadership when his platoon leader was seriously injured, and with complete disregard for his own safety, led a part of the platoon in a successful assault on an enemy machine gun position. Although seriously wounded he remained at his post ... His conduct was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service." Concluding the afternoon ceremonial, all Roads to Romance members were entertained by Gen. and Mrs. Fegan in the historic Santa Margarita ranchhouse, which Gen Fegan is restoring in accordance with instructions from President Roosevelt, who slept there last September when he dedicated Pendleton Base. Gen. Fegan and Mrs. Fegan had been luncheon guests of the association at the Carlsbad hotel, and the former spoke briefly on California traditions and the need of preserving such traditions in a nation so young in historic lore.
