These plans will culminate Wednesday night in Elks clubhouse with cocktail hour at 5 o'clock; a special dinner at 6:30, followed by lodge session at 7:30, with Lewis as special guest of honor throughout the evening. Acceptances have been rolling in from invitations to state and national officers, "from San Francisco to Prescott, from San Diego to Imperial Valley," and fully 300 guests are expected. Three Southland lodges, Burbank, Whittier and Compton, have granted privileges to suspend meetings and have dark night that their members may attend the gala affair here. One of the anticipated guests is Andy Devine of screen and radio fame, exalted ruler of Burbank lodge.

Stuard called the city's merchants together for a conference in Chamber of Commerce headquarters. After having assurance of city-wide cooperation in such a plan, as proposed by the Southland War Finance committee, Stuard called attention to the radio broadcast to be heard tonight at 8:45 over KECA. This broadcast will be of special interest to merchants and their employees, for it is based on the part which retailers and their staffs are being asked to take in the campaign. In accordance with suggestions from the War Finance committee, local merchants have expressed willingness to celebrate the "Kick-Off Day" by deferring store opening until 10 o'clock next Wednesday, the early morning interval to be devoted to an informative program for all store staffs to be given in a local theatre. It is hoped that the Fox theatre here will be placed at their disposal for the program which will begin promptly at 8:45 o'clock with the feature film, "Seven Fighting Words," followed by a talk by Secretary Ross Lee Laird of the Chamber of Commerce. Retailers and their employees will make it a point to be present, as absence from this program will be considered in the same light as unexplained absence from store duty, and will be correspondingly penalized. Merchants in attendance yesterday were in favor of the plan and it is believed that every retailer in Anaheim will cooperate fully. Chairman Stuard named committee groups including publicity and attendance headed by Lee Fabian (Continued on page 3) Stove Quotas Set For September In Orange County Anaheim home owners who find themselves in need of a new stove for either cooking or heating purposes, will have to take their chance among 427 Orange county folk who will be privileged to make such purchases during the five-week period from Tuesday of last week, August 24, to Thursday September 30.

Neville and Dr. Howard Tews hope to take in all the more important sessions, and Dr. W. C. McCarthy who spends the early part of each week at his Westwood office, will attend most of the sessions. Other dentists of the city, including Drs. William H. Stehly, W. V. Fallis and J. C. Osher, were uncertain of their plans. An excellent program on the theme of war service has been promised by Dr. Francis J. Conley, president of the Southern California association. An Inter-American luncheon is scheduled for Monday, the opening day, when Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of University of Southern California, will be guest speaker. Eighteen members of Los Angeles consulate corps will be honor guests together with many visitors from Latin-American countries.

Rags is a black and white cocker spaniel with just enough springer spaniel in his ancestry to make him a bit larger than the usual cocker although not so large as the springer. If anyone has seen the little homeless dog, they would confer a great favor on his master, young Jimmie Holcomb, 2129 Greenleaf street, Santa Ana, by telephoning him at Santa Ana, 4719-W. Rags was visiting in Fullerton two weeks ago while his own family was vacationing, but disappeared just before his young master was due to return. The Holcombs have combed the country for the little dog, visiting animal shelters and searching vainly for any trace of the family pet. Young Jimmie Holcomb is lost without his pal and companion for the past nine years. Community Banks Pledge Support To 3rd War Loan Enthusiastic support of the Third War Loan drive in September by the 70 community owned banks throughout this area was pledged at a joint meeting of the War Activities committee of the Independent Bankers association of Southern California and officials of the Treasury Department's War Finance committee, according to Wilson W. Phelps, secretary of Southern County bank, a member of the association. Arrangements were completed for the immediate enlistment of officers and staffs of all association members as active workers in the campaign to sell 15 billion dollars in War Bonds to non-banking sources next month. Phelps stated: "During the past two years banks throughout the United States have given freely of their time and facilities without compensation to handle the sale of many billion dollars in War Bonds, and it is estimated that these institutions have been resourced."

The Holcombs have combed the country for the little dog, visiting animal shelters and searching vainly for any trace of the family pet. Young Jimmie Holcomb is lost without his pal and companion for the past nine years. He has reached the point that even if the news concerned the death of Rags, it would give him relief from the worry of wondering if his pal goes hungry and homeless. New Blood Donors. Bring Local List ... Beyond Quota Set Who says Anaheim can't rise to an emergency? When the mobile unit of the blood plasma bank visited this city Tuesday, the requested quota was well over-subscribed, and when the unit left in early afternoon hours for its next station its sealed refrigerator cans carried exactly 272 pints of life-giving blood which had flowed freely from the veins of Anaheim's men and women, boys and girls. It was a busy day at Ebell clubhouse, when donors began arriving shortly after 8 o'clock, as soon as the unit was here with its convoy of seven nurses, a haemoglobin nurse, Capt. Moore Smith of the U. S. Army Medical Corps, and the staff of assistants and business personnel. It was "Reunion in Vienna" for many of the donors and the bevy of Nurses' Aides and Canteen Corps workers from Anaheim chapter American Red Cross, when they greeted Mrs. Robert Guild, (Betty Maloney Guild) former local newspaper woman, and now traveling with the mobile unit as a member of its business personnel. Melbourne A. Gauer with Mrs. J. Ben Kaulbars and Mrs. Llewellyn Wilson of the blood donor service of the Red Cross chapter, felt that their efforts to bring the importance of the service to attention of Anaheim citizens generally, was well rewarded. For as result of their efforts, more than a hunfor the immediate enlistment of officers and staffs of all association members as active workers in the campaign to sell 15 billion dollars in War Bonds to non-banking sources next month. Phelps stated: "During the past two years banks throughout the United States have given freely of their time and facilities without compensation to handle the sale of many billion dollars in War Bonds, and it is estimated that these institutions have been responsible for 80 per cent of such sales to date. "Next month we again are called on for service in connection with the largest financing operation ever undertaken by this or any other nation. Now that the invasion has begun those of us on the home front must back the attack with bonds. Southern County bank is ready and willing at all times to join with other banking institutions in using our facilities to the utmost in this all important phase of the war effort." Kiwanis Club Has Speaker From 'Land Down Under' Born and educated in Australia, John B. Davidson of the California division of highways, was well qualified to speak on the "Continent down under" for Anaheim Kiwanians at their Tuesday meeting conducted by President Ewald Lemcke in Elks clubhouse. Following his introduction by Joe Collings, chairman for the day, Davidson launched into an interesting account of the immense ranches of Australia, which, he explained, are referred to as stations rather than ranches. Many of them exceed a million acres in extent and the largest, the Victoria Downs station, is the largest holding of its kind in the world, with 8,300,000 acres under fence. Mineral wealth of the continent he described as rich in iron, coal and gold deposits although the country lacks the "black-gold" of petroleum. This, he explained, is due the immeasurable age of the continent claimed by geologists as the oldest land mass of the world, and formed in periods antedating oil deposits. Bird and animal life derives from early reptilian ages also he Elks clubhouse where President W. Elliott and his staff extend cordial welcome to scores of enjoyable dinner and its sign cant program.

R.pau, one of Orange county's most prominent pioneer families with Southland history goes back to the old golden Days of the Daisy has been in steady demand as speaker before various organizations here. Everyone is eager to hear something of his fine reverence of more than half a hundred bombing missions in North Africa, as pilot of a Flying Fortress. He tells such stirring tales so much modesty that his prove enthralling to all privileges to hear them. For the Lions and their guild he told of being a member of first bombing crew over Germany operating from a base in Britain for several months before he transferred to North Africa. He followed this with tales bombing raids over different North African cities, including Zerte. It was off Bizerte he plained that four Axis vessels were sunk by the bombing crews. Other phases of his talk included the morale of the German diers as shown by those traitors. Contrary to general opinion, their morale is highly declared, and the men appear well clothed and well fed. It was the privilege of Coop Supervisor James A. Baker introduce the speaker to his sister Lions, and later to present the loving cup, which according its inscription was presented "Lieut. T. R. Rimpau, U. S. Air Forces, for outstanding zenship. Anaheim Lions October 27, 1943. When Lions meet tomorrow their weekly luncheon in a clubhouse, they will be expected to bring pieces of old jewellery be donated as rewards in Thursday's War Bond auction. Legion's Election Is Slated For Monday Night Although it will still be possible to nominate other candidates office in Anaheim post America A home owners who find it in need of a new stove will have to take their stove at present and that needed to heat essential working space or for those needing new stoves are out-worn models also eligible. Listed for the quota were 15 cooking stoves, 15 oil and 10 for coal and wood. Heating stove division, 29 oil and seven coal and are allotted. Dealers and distributors required to register either 22 or '43 sales, whichever was during the first three September at their local offices.

Vance, chief duty of the Bureau of In-venue, are for a tem office to be maintained the city hall.

STATE PICNIC PROGRAM American Indians in their tribal costumes and dances will give special glamor to the annual picnic of Oklahoma State society of the Southland to be held all day Monday in Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles. Attorney William G. Condron as master of ceremonies, will introduce the Labor Day program after the noon picnic dinner. Rolling Cloud and his Indian dancers will be featured at 2 p.m. and the program will be open to the public as well as former Oklahomaans. Melbourne A. Gauer with Mrs. J. Ben Kaulbars and Mrs. Llewellyn Wilson of the blood donor service of the Red Cross chapter, felt that their efforts to bring the importance of the service to attention of Anaheim citizens generally, was well rewarded. For as result of their efforts, more than a hundred new names were added to their list of donors. This creates a very important "pool" from which to draw for future visits of the mobile unit. For now that the city understands the importance of its contribution to lives of the boys at the front, the continued return of the unit to Anaheim is assured. In fact the next date has already been set for December 2. Some idea of the importance of plasma in saving lives at the front may be gained from word that Dr. Llewellyn Wilson has sent from his hospital base in the Pacific. Even in that modern and well equipped hospital, he declared that direct blood transfusions were impossible, but that blood plasma made it possible to save lives that otherwise would be sacrificed. Council Considers Routine Business At Weekly Session Tuesday night's adjourned session of Anaheim city council was devoted in the main to purely routine business. There was among other matters, the final reading of the tax levy for 1943-44, and its adoption by the council whereby the city accepted the 70 cent tax rates. In the matter of new business, the city sold its right, title and interest in the tax-deeded lot 6, block 3 of the Mills Park tract to A. W. Young of 615 North Clementine street. The lot increases Young's holdings in the residential tract, as he owns the adjoining lot. Mineral wealth of the continent he described as rich in iron, coal and gold deposits although the country lacks the "black-gold" of petroleum. This, he explained, is due the immeasurable age of the continent claimed by geologists as the oldest land mass of the world, and formed in periods antedating oil deposits. Bird and animal life derives from early reptilian ages also he declared describing some of the strange types including the duck-bill platypus, an egg-laying water mammal and one of the continent's greatest curiosities; the dingo or wild dog, and the kangarooos, wallabies and other animals carrying their young in pouches. Despite slowness of rail development, due largely to the desert interior, Davidson stated that Australia has become self-sufficient under the pressure of war, producing her own needs in wool, wheat, beef and manufactured articles. Commander Rigby is making rangers for special entertainment features in connection with the program, and Legionnaires ticipate also hearing reports of annual convention of the state department held recently in Francisco. Anaheim post sent quite a copy of a objection including Commander Roy by, honored by being named serve on the Americanism committee; Past Commander Roy sing, named to the resolution committee; Alex E. Dutzi, Dutzi Proud, Charles Steniger, All Alberts, Ray Perry and F.Ranker. The local delegation was specially interested in the election of William Haughton, El M.M.city attorney, to the office state commander, succeeding Happell. For most of the know Haughton personally, as former home was in Santa where his parents, Dr. and T. J. Haughton, still reside. CETTE Save Those Dollars Buy War Bonds September 9 SEPTEMBER 2, 1943 NUMBER 49 Buying Its Quota of War Bonds Spot Of Fortress Lions Speaker For Ladies’ Night Anaheim’s War Bond Quota Exceeds Million Dollars While the exact sum of Anaheim’s quota in the Third War Loan campaign has not been set, it will be in the neighborhood of $1,500,000 according to estimates given today by Paul H. Demaree, chairman of the city’s War Finance committee. Clayton Allen Is Transferred To Camp Hueneme Friendships of his boyhood and business days in this city were renewed early this week by Clayton Allen, SK 3c, who enjoyed a two Orange county’s quota in the nation’s 15 billion dollar campaign has been set as $10,995,600, of which individuals are expected to purchase bonds to the amount of $4,995,600 with the remainder to be subscribed by corporations. These figures were given the local War Finance committee by Rodney E. Bacon of the county committee. Chairman Demaree and his coworkers are confident that Anaheim will rise to the responsibilities placed upon her with the same enthusiasm that has marked her past record in War Bond sales. They feel that their plans for a community auction on Thursday, September 9, opening To Camp Hueneme Friendships of his boyhood and business days in this city were renewed early this week by Clayton Allen, SK 3c, who enjoyed a two CLAYTON ALLEN weeks' leave spent here with Mrs. Allen at their home, 427 South Citron street, before reporting for duty at Camp Hueneme near Oxnard. Allen, who entered Naval service after 22 years connection with the F. A. Yungbluth men's furnishing store here, just completed four months' training at Camp Perry, Williamsburg, Va., and was transferred to Camp Hueneme. He arrived here August 20 and left Tuesday of this week for the new station. Like so many of the men in our country's military service, Allen has the satisfaction of knowing that his wife supports him loyally. For upon his departure a few months ago, Mrs. Allen stepped into his post at the Yungbluth store, and has carried on valiantly ever since. TO ARMED FORCES In the month of July, California Fruit Growers' Exchange sold eight per cent of its packed shipments of oranges direct to the armed forces. During the same month more than 1600 carloads of California oranges were diverted to citrus products plants to be made into juice and concentrates for our armed forces and for lend-lease. Many From Anaheim Attend Rites For Mother Henrietta Many from this city, including Sisters from Marywood Central high school, were in Laguna Beach Saturday for final rites conducted for Mother Henrietta, whose death last Thursday closed a long career of Christian service. Mother Henrietta's passing occurred at Sacred Heart convent in Laguna Beach, which she had served as superior since 1924. Born 64 years ago in New York City she entered the Dominican Order in 1895. Four years later she enlisted as a Sister for service in the Spanish American war, going directly to Cuba where she remained for 13 years. In 1912, Mother Henrietta with other Cuban Sisters, came to what was then St. Joseph's academy in this city, the forerunner of what is now Marywood Central high school. She served the academy as superior until 1924 when she went to Laguna Beach as superior of Sacred Heart convent, a position she retained until her passing. Rosary was recited Friday afternoon at the Laguna Beach Funeral home. Saturday morning services at 10 o'clock were in St. Catherine's Catholic church, Laguna Beach, followed by interment in Holy Sepulchre cemetery, Orange. St. Joseph's academy which Mother Henrietta served here so faithfully, became Marywood Central high school some nine years ago when it was taken over by Sisters of Providence coming here from St. Mary-of-the-Woods, in Indiana. Agricultural Conference Places Blame For Farm Conditions Upon OPA Important resolutions passed Saturday by the Regional Farm Bureau conference held in White Temple Methodist church, pertained largely to OPA regulations and gave evidence of difficulties which farmers encounter in producing and selling their crops in accordance with such regulations. More than 200 farm leaders from California's eight southernmost counties assembled for the all-day conclave over which director S. W. Stanley of Tustin presided. One of the important features was the dairymen's conference addressed by W. B. Woodburn, chief of the bureau of market enforcement, California Department of Agriculture, who recently returned from Washington where his superior, Director W. J. Cecil is at present attempting to secure adjustments in dairy production prices in order to assure continuation of the industry in this state. It was the consensus of the dairymen that appeal to President Roosevelt was the last resource left them, as they were of the opinion that OPA will give no assistance in maintaining milk prices in the state. OPA was again blamed by poultrymen and by rabbit producers in difficulties that beset them under present market conditions. Poultrymen were united in the opinion that OPA's program is designed to force growers of fryers and roasters out of business, and asked that the producer ceiling in Los Angeles markets be returned to its level of March, 1943. Rabbit growers have been informed that they may not sell rabbits at retail unless they also retail other food stuffs, a ruling that compels them to sell only to wholesalers or else on a black market. Margins permitted wholesalers and retailers are such that the producer loses substantial sums through this situation for which OPA was blamed. The conference supported the growers' contention that they should be permitted to sell at retail. Partial solution to all these problems was seen in adoption of a resolution requesting more regional authority and a local autonomy permitting practical adjustments to meet the needs of different localities and their various commodities. Following these various morning conferences and the mid-day luncheon was an afternoon program featuring many interesting (Continued on page 2)
