IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO People of this city were shocked Monday morning to learn that David Hamler, one of Anaheim's best known young men, had been drowned at Anaheim Landing on the previous day when making an heroic attempt to rescue three men whose boat had been capsized by a rip tide at the mouth of the bay. A second boat one of its crew being Frank Dyer started to the rescue. This boat was also caught by the tide and capsized, seeing the danger the men were in, Dave, who was in the water at the time, called for a rope. The rope was produced and he accompanied by another man whose name is unknown, started toward the imperiled men, evidently intending to make an attempt to swim through the raging surf. The other man gave up the attempt and returned to shore, all supposed Hamler had also got safely to shore, and it was announced that all men were accounted for, but Erickson was unable to find Hamler. Search was made for him all night and Monday morning at 9 o'clock the body was discovered floating in the bay. The remains were brought to Anaheim and the funeral was held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlor yesterday afternoon. David Hamler was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hamler. He was born in Moline, Ill. Jan. 2, 1888 and came to this city ten years ago. He was married to Miss Mable Gade six years ago and his wife and a three year old daughter survive him.

He was born in Moline, Ill. Jan. 2, 1888 and came to this city ten years ago. He was married to Miss Mable Gade six years ago and his wife and a three year old daughter survive him. His untimely death is sincerely mourned by the entire community. Sister Hedwig has arrived from Ukiah, Mendocino county and has taken charge of St. Catherine's academy, being the new sister superior of that educational institution. She succeeds Sister Hyacinth, who for 24 years past has been sister superior of St. Catherine's and goes to Ukiah to be sister superior of a boys academy in that city. Sister Hedwig has 21 Dominican sisters with her in the academy, who are teaching 120 boys, the youngest being an infant of 17 months, whose father has gone to war. Sister Hyacinth has many warm personal friends here who have formed a high regard for her during her long residence, and she takes with her their best wishes for her future welfare in her new location. Sister Hedwig is a lady of fine educational attainments and will no doubt continue the academy up to the high standard of excellence which has characterized it in the past. Nine graduates of the Anaheim high school have entered junior college at Fullerton.

Lawton, oversees the operation. Oscar Zeyn killed a wild cat while out hunting north of town last Sunday afternoon. The cat was taking it easy up in the limbs of a tree, when Oscar espied it, and having only one charge of small bird shot in his gun, he approached it as near as possible, the cat eying him intently all the while, and when within about twenty feet of it, blazed away and Mr. Cat was no more. He removed the pelt and brought it home as a memento of the eighth wild cat he has killed so far. He informs us the Kraemer reservoir and the flumes on the upper ditch are alive with quail. The public schools are in an excusably over crowded condition. Prof. Grogan's room having 56 pupils in it compared to 39 last year, when it was pretty well crowded. More facilities are imperatively necessary. And there should be at least another school room, yet no appropriation has been made for additional teachers, and we shall have to get along as best we can until another building is put up. Next term we should have a high school building to accommodate our rising generation. H. P. Larsen is at work on a big contract for Col. R. J. Northam on his ranch north of Buena Park.

Lawton, Orange County administrator, has announced that a careful check will hereafter be made of all purchases of sugar for canning. Information clearly showing that the home canning certificate plan has been abused, is the cause of the step. Henceforth every yellow canning slip turned in will be checked and when it is found that one family has secured a large amount of sugar an inspector will be sent to the home to acertain the amount of preserves that have been put up. When it is found that the stock of preserves does not equal the amount of sugar purchased, prosecutions will follow, it is announced. Ralph Kemp who has been employed at the Mullinix drug store, has entered the University of Southern California where he is specializing in dentistry. He is within the draft age and will also take military training at the university.

As we go to press Eugene Johnson invades the editorial sanctum and brings us as fine a box of peaches as we have seen this season. They are from Mr. Fowler's new orchard below town and speak well not only of the soil of the ranch, but of Eugene's care of the trees as well. Call again Mr. Johnson. Charles Bailey was in from the Olinda ranch on Tuesday. He has not yet removed to Puente but expects to do so in the near future. He has recently leased 1600 acres of his ranch to be planted to barley next year and thinks of putting in several experimental patches of beets on the ranch next year. Heavy fogs have prevailed mornings during the week, and yesterday we had the first indications of rain this season. None fell however. September 23, 1943 Recent Events in Nearby Communities Summarized in Short News Notes BUYS BONDS Habra—Taking a long step toward amassing La Habra's quota of 100,000 in War Bond sales in Third national drive, was the council's action in applying 500 of the municipal water company's bond interest and resolution fund to the purchase of its City Treasurer Proud point-out to the council that the fund has some $5,000 with no payouts to be made from it before January, by which time routine transfers will take care of any incidents for next year. CITY HALL PURCHASE San Clemente—The "Spanish Village" of San Clemente now owns its own city hall. The council in its latest session, adopted a resolution accepting the deed to the property which has served as city hall, from its former owner, Walter Bye, of Riverside. At the same time a resolution was passed asking the county board of supervisors to cancel 1943-44 taxes on the property. MOTOR COACH SERVICE Newport Beach—Resumption of full motor coach service on the Los Angeles - Huntington Beach - Newport Beach - Balboa line became effective Monday, replacing the partial rail service. The new motor coach schedule provides for the same basic service as has been in effect of eight round trips each weekday, and six round trips on Sundays. The Club car Commodore rail service made its last trip Friday. ZONING ORDINANCE Placentia—With a forward look to post-war building, Placentia city council is considering a zoning ordinance that will regulate all construction in the city and protect those desiring to make investments in homes. As proposed, the ordinance would provide zones in the downtown area for business and industrial purposes and restrict certain sections to residences alone. It is hoped that the educational campaign can be completed and the law passed by the first of the coming year. RED CROSS CHAIRMAN Brea—Mrs. George Gesme, prominent in American Legion auxiliary, has been appointed to head Figures Are Given On Summer Waste Fat Salvage Predictions that the Southland's war-time drive for waste fats for ammunition purposes would bog down entirely during the summer weather, were proven to be without foundation this week when figures on August collections were released by Zack J. Farmer, WPB salvage chief for Southern California. For Southern California came within 64 per cent of its quota by collecting 456,780 pounds of fats, a much higher poundage than had been anticipated. The city of Anaheim had been assigned a quota of 2,167 pounds of waste fat, based on an estimated population of 13,-000. While housewives failed to meet this quota they turned in the appreciable amount of 1,346 of the allotted pounds. Other Northern Orange county communities maintained about the same percentage, although in nearby Buena Park where no quota was assigned, residents turned in 221 pounds of fat. The only county community meeting its quota was Laguna Beach, whose 7,350 residents were assigned the amount of 1,225 pounds but who exceeded that quota by exactly 490 pounds. This achievement places "Our Village" on the honor roll of 28 Southland communities which reached or exceeded their quotas for the month, and were cited for a "War job of outstanding excellence."

Present electric generating capacity, together with the capacity now under construction, is ample to meet all foreseeable electric needs. But it is essential to save the use of electricity wherever possible so as to reduce directly or indirectly the demands for materials, fuel, transportation and manpower. As a wartime conservation measure—use only the electricity you need. GAS IS VITAL When you save GAS at University Offers Tuition-Free Technical Courses Prompted by urgent needs of the War Manpower Commission for women and women in government and industrial work, a series of 50 tuition-free courses will be given by the War Training division of University of Southern California.

She still has "The Voice With A Smile" even when the lights are thick on the Long Distance switchboard and the circuits are crowded. Even when she has asked you to— "Please limit your call to 5 minutes. Others are waiting." That's to help everybody get better service and you couldn't ask for a better reason than that. BACK THE ATTACK—with War Bonds Help win the war with the money you save The Government asks for your patriotic cooperation in a nationwide program for CONSERVATION of fuels and utility services REQUIREMENTS for war industries and military operations over-seas are enormously. In order to meet them, the Government has launched a program to pool and conserve the nation's resources in fuels and utility all kinds. Am is of first and immediate importance to the continued successful of the war. Its objectives are far reaching: to conserve manpower, critical coal, petroleum products, transportation, gas, electricity, water and nations.

That's how it comes about that the gas you save in your home allows essential War Industries to use more gas for fuel instead of having to use up limited reserves of fuel oil. And for big events shaping in the Pacific, fuel oil is a MUST for the Navy. By using gas wisely at home—you are contributing to the reserves of fuel oil that the Navy must have to win the war on the Pacific. "The Navy wants YOU"— to save Fighting Fuel! You have a vital part in the Government's all-fuel conservation program. In the case of household gas, don't think that the amount you can save is too small to count. Practically everybody in Southern California uses gas; so it's what you save—multiplied by similar savings in over 1,000,000 other patriotic homes that is going to make a difference in the battle of the Pacific.
