Anaheim Post Office Yields To Present-Day Trends For the first time in its history of more than eight decades, Anaheim post office has seen woman invade man's realm, with the swearing in of Mrs. Evelyn Benson, 506 South Resh street, as the city's first woman letter carrier. In the many years since the Anaheim office was founded back in Civil War days, women have twice served as postmistresses, but the task of distributing the mail to the city's homes has always been delegated to the men. Mrs. Laura G. Bates was the city's first postmistress, it was recalled today by Mrs. Mary Coons, who is probably more familiar with the history of the Anaheim office than any living resident of the city. Mrs. Coons' mother, Mrs. Maria Jane Gardiner was the second woman to fill the responsible post which her husband, J. S. Gardiner, had filled in the late '80s' Mrs. Coons, then Miss Mary Gardiner, had served in the office under both her father and her mother, and took over its management when her mother became postmistress. In fact it was through her post office duties that she met her husband, the late Richard L. Motor Vehicle Dpt. Lists County Car Registrations The Department of Motor Vehicles today announced that 54,142 automobiles were registered in Orange county during the first six months of 1943. Other registrations for the county were announced by the department as follows: 3,999 pneumatic trucks; 453 motorcycles; 106 solid trailers; 3,755 pneumatic trailers. The registrations announced for Orange county were a portion of the total of 2,418,744 registrations of automobiles for the entire year. Other statewide totals announced were: 502 solid trucks; 199,022 pneumatic trucks; 17,010 motorcycles; 1,822 solid trailers: 147,-975 pneumatic trailers. State War Council Member Address Anaheim Kiwanis Emphasizing the fact that State War Council was organized to offer aid to communities by visiting them and not dictating I. Stuart of Pasadena, field representative of the Council, providing an interesting program Tuesday for Kiwanis members. Presented by Charles H. M. local director of Civilian Defence Stuart clarified provisions on new State War Powers act. It needed, he declared, in order eliminate confusion and to denate defense activities granting to state, county and governments, certain war powers for the protection of life property. He discussed among other things the importance of the War services division, dealing with nation on the homefront, and conservation of valuable fire The vital need at present, he clared, is the saving of crop essential to the war effort. In developing this point spoke of the probable necessity registering every person capable of doing agricultural work. Jane Gardiner was the second woman to fill the responsible post which her husband, J. S. Gardiner, had filled in the late '80's Mrs. Coons, then Miss Mary Gardiner, had served in the office under both her father and her mother, and took over its management when her mother became postmistress. In fact it was through her post office duties that she met her husband, the late Richard L. Coons, who was in the mail service for 40 years prior to his death. According to Mrs. Coons' familiarity with local post office history, the first postmaster was Fisher, owner of the old Planters hotel here. She assembled much of this history to be giveh at the gala banquet which celebrated the completion of the handsome new federal building in 1936. Representatives of the families of all the various postmasters were present at the dedication ceremonies and at the banquet given by Mrs. Coons. Postmaster Louis Hoskins today explained some of the duties of Mrs. Benson as a letter carrier. She will for the present have charge of parcel post deliveries and will aid in getting relays out to other city carriers. It is possible, he said, that she will be assigned later to some of the mail deliveries in the city's business district. Postmaster Hoskins was appointed to his position in March, 1936. Serving with him as assistant postmaster is Elden R. Deering who has filled that position since 1924 and has served in the local post office for 31 years, under the regime of A. W. Duckworth, J. H. Ahlborn, J. H. Whittaker, and Louis Hoskins. Flax Crop Thrives On Olinda Ranch To those who never saw the little blue blossom of the flax, it might be interesting to know that there are 120 acres of flax growing right now between Brea and Olinda. Flax is not an ordinary Orange county crop by any means. It is believed that plantings last year on the Irvine ranch at Tustin, were the first in the county, and the acreage near Olinda is the first time it has been grown in the north part of the county. County To Receive Apportionment Of Gas Tax Funds State Controller Harry B. Riley today apportioned $68,266.91 in gasoline tax money to Orange county as part of a $9,449,535 distribution for the quarter ending last June 30. Orange county's share was computed on the basis of a motor vehicle registration of 63,233. Controller Riley said the apportionment was $2,587,023, or 21.49 per cent, less than that for the corresponding quarter last year. Riley distributed one-third of the $9,449,534 to the counties, and deposited the balance of $6,299,-690 in the state highway fund. From the latter amount, the Division of highways will allocate $1,574,622, to be expended for highway construction and maintenance within cities of California, and the balance of $4,724,768, remaining in the highway fund will be expended on the state highway department as follows: 3,999 pneumatic trucks; 453 motorcycles; 106 solid trailers; 3,755 pneumatic trailers. The registrations announced for Orange county were a portion of the total of 2,418,744 registrations of automobiles for the entire year. Other statewide totals announced were: 502 solid trucks; 199,022 pneumatic trucks; 17,010 motorcycles; 1,822 solid trailers: 147,-975 pneumatic trailers. There were also registered a total of 35,882 exempt vehicles by various public agencies and public service utilities. A comparison of motor vehicle fees collected for the six month period shows a decrease over the corresponding period of last year of 2.44%. The decrease in vehicle registrations was 4.77%. Director Gordon H. Garland announced that the decrease in revenues accruing to the department for its support, exclusive of vehicle license fees revenues, dropped 3.71% as compared with the same period of 1942. Registration fees collected for the period totalled $12,789,573 as compared with $13,-110,103 for the same period last year. Vehicle license fees (in lieu tax) totalled $12,422,878 for the period—a loss of 6.81%. Uncle Learns New Of Hero Nephew Crash Above Sicily To Mr. and Mrs. Jack Borden 812 North Topeka street, they came the sad news that nephew, Lt. Lawrence G. O'Brien has been reported as missing early July aerial action at Sicily. Lieut. O'Brien, who visited shortly before he left for over service just four months ago, received as awards for gallain action, the Distinguished F Cross, three Oakleaf Clusters in the Order of the Purple Heart.

O'Brien was known in this city where he his home with his uncle and for two years. To those who never saw the little blue blossom of the flax, it might be interesting to know that there are 120 acres of flax growing right now between Brea and Olinda. Flax is not an ordinary Orange county crop by any means. It is believed that plantings last year on the Irvine ranch at Tustin, were the first in the county, and the acreage near Olinda is the first time it has been grown in the north part of the county. The flax was planted last December on land formerly given over to hay and bean crops, and is the property of Herbert Bergen and Tony Ondaro. It has been indicated that when harvested, the crop will go to a Buena Park mill and then be sent to Russia under lend-lease. Riley distributed one-third of the $9,449,534 to the counties, and deposited the balance of $6,299,-690 in the state highway fund. From the latter amount, the Division of highways will allocate $1,574,622, to be expended for highway construction and maintenance within cities of California, and the balance of $4,724,768, remaining in the highway fund will be expended on the state highway system. Los Angeles was the high ranking county of the state both in its apportionment of $1,119,358.74 and in its 1,156,981 registered vehicles. Alpine county was lowest, with $7,607.63 as its apportionment for 112 registered vehicles. Model of U.S.S.Cruiser Los Angeles Comes to Anaheim Next Wednesday Anaheim young women who have been contemplating enlistment in the WAVES, the Women's Reserve of the U.S. Navy, in which each enlistment releases a man for active duty at sea, will be interested in the visit to Orange county of the 26-foot, made-to-scale model of the heavy cruiser U.S.S. Los Angeles. This model, which toured Los Angeles county during July in the drive to raise $40,000,000 in War Bond sales, will be in this city on Wednesday, August 11, and will be moored at Henry Bros. Drug store, 201 West Center street, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. From here it will go to Santa Ana. The cruiser model will be "manned" by four WAVES and members of the Navy Recruiting Service. Advantages of enlistment will be explained by the WAVES, who will give detailed information regarding rates, pay, type of activities, training methods, uniforms, and all other matters in which prospective enlistees will want information. Thousands of people have viewed the amazingly accurate replica of the cruiser Los Angeles on its previous tours through Los Angeles county, and have marveled at its careful details, which include guns that actually fire, turrets that turn, and miniature Navy planes mounted in catapults. The big cruiser Los Angeles, of which this is a replica, has been purchased with the funds from Los Angeles county's buying of bonds, but the model on display emphasizes the fact that bond buying must be continued by everybody, and that there is an equal need for additional women in the WAVES.

But Carl was carried in state by his young mistress, Ann Brunskill, so the parade moved along swiftly as interested on lookers watched the children and their varied pets. The pet show was arranged by Miss Dora Draper, director of the recreational department, and her aides, the Misses Doris Tuffree and Bettie Balliet. It was an unqualified success, although of course dogs led all entries, their leashes tangled around the ankles of their young owners. Possibly the American Kennel Club would not have understood the system of judging employed, but that didn't bother Mrs. J. A. Clayes and Mrs. Harry Hathaway at all. They used their own methods entirely, with results that were entirely satisfactory to both dogs and exhibitors. For instance Mary Jean Starr's "Dotsy" wore the ribbon and Fay Anderson's "Midgie" took second place as smallest. When it came to the longest dog, there was a tie between Susie Menasco's "Schopsy" and Dorothy Dutton's "Joe." But there were many other dog honors. "Trouble," owned by Marilyn Bubb, scored first as the prettiest pup, while second honors were taken by Clarice Wollerman's "Cinders." And when it came to the oddest looking dog—Billy Darrow's "Landy" easily took first place, with Jimmy Webb's "Blacky" not so far behind in second place. Since "Carl" the turtle was alone in his class, he naturally took turtle honors for his proud mistress, who carried him along with his head, tail and four feet all waving from his shell. The little brown bantam hen with her polka-dotted sunbonnet and apron to match, created many smiles among the onlookers, and won a special award for her owner, Joan Burdick. First place in the chicken division went to Jimmy Wurtz for his "Goldy," with Judy Menasco's "Mother Hen" taking second, and Carolyn Davenport's "Boots" scoring third. Sharing special honors with the bantam, were Ronny Young's "Moe and Mosephine." Mary Lou Wurtz, Mary Lee Melton and Jean Young took first place with their fluffly duckling "Marleen." 'Gene Fife's pair of pigeons took first, while in the rabbit division, first place went to Dick Merrill's entry and second to Virginia Coolidge's "Snowball." Darlene Krueger was very proud of the first place taken by her cat "Dickie," as was Jackie Cone of the special award to his cunning cat family.

C. Kendrick, who drew upon experiences of many years as a jeweler for his interesting talk. "Many of the most interesting books involving adventure, intrigue and crime, have been written about precious stones and valuables" Kendrick declared. Jewels as emeralds, probably the most valuable of all; diamonds which are 100 times harder than rubies, and the increase in diamond values because of the number now being used in industry. He told of the European diamond-cutting centers which before the war did 75 per cent of the world's business. The war changed this however, and he stated that at present 75 percent of the diamonds are cut here in the United States.
