ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1939 Mrs. Henry Kuchel Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Subscription Per Year, $2.00 — Six Months $1.00 Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. Two Symbols of Victory We're all full of what the mid-Victorian novelist called "mingled feelings." 'it began with our pride in Anaheim schools and their privilege of flying Minute Man flags, showing a whole-hearted cooperation in buying War Stamps. Those War Stamps you know, made it possible for Uncle Sam to purchase in turn, whole fleets of jeeps for those schoolboys of a larger growth, the young men of the U.S. Army. Our pride was occasioned by the fact that Union high school, Marywood Central high school and Fremont school were among those where the Minute Man flag proudly flutters in the soft California breeze. We were proud because our city's young people were a part of California's response to this call for help from youth. For when the state was assigned the quota of 755 jeeps to be purchased from War Stamps sold among its school children, the latter responded in such numbers that those of Southern California alone provided for the purchase of exactly 3175 jeeps. More than quadrupling the total assigned the entire state. This means that the amazing sum of $20,000,000 has been invested by young people of the Southland in War Stamps and Bonds, and most of the proceeds are already earmarked for mobile forces in the several theaters of war. That explains our sense of pride in our city's school children and their self sacrifice. The mingled feelings came as we pursued the matter further. All of us have been told that the Treasury Department awarded a Minute Man flag to each school that met its quota. But did any of the reams of literature on the subject, mention that after the youngsters had sacrificed and bought War Stamps, they had to dig down in scanty pockets, and produce still more pennies and nickles and dimes to BUY the flag that they had won? We quite agree with Volney O. Elliott, principal of George Washington school (which school incidentally, purchased enough War Stamps and more to earn the flag) that the money the banner cost could well be diverted to other channels. In this case, it went for prizes in their Victory Garden contest. And to our minds, those Victory Gardens of the George Washington school children are just as much a banner to unfurl to California's sunshine as the blue Minute Man flag. You, we are still very proud of our schools where the Minute Man flag is displayed. But we are still prouder of the Victory Gardens of those youngsters at George Washington school.
