Ration Tokens Will Be Legal Tender In Purchase Of Rationed Products Just when Anaheim housewives are growing assustomed to the zinc penny, and no longer giving it or receiving it in change as a dime, comes news of the new form of legal tender, the red and blue ration tokens for use in the purchase of all rationed food products. Paul Barksdale d'Orr, OPA rationing chief for the Southland, has announced that bids on 900 million such tokens have been called for by the OPA. The tokens, as he describes them, will be slightly larger than a nickel and smaller than a quarter. Inscribed on both faces within a circle around the edges will be the words, "Office of Price Administration, with 'Processed Foods' on the blue ration coins and 'Meats, Fish, Fats, Cheese' on the red. Then in addition the figure 1 will be centered in the circle below and above the words "One Point." Indications are that the tokens, to be used in making "change" from the ration stamps of book Three, will be in general use early in the new year, since bids require that delivery of blue tokens is to be made on January 1, and red tokens by February 15. They will have no expiration date and will be used to make change for as long as food ration- Information given by d'Orr, showed that it costs the government nearly $1,500,000 to produce the ration books. The initial cost of the tokens is expected to be no more than a million dollars. If the war continued 96 weeks it would mean that at least three ration books would be needed at a cost of $1,500,000 each, so the use of the tokens represents a savings to the taxpayers of approximately three million dollars. County Quotas On Tires and Cars Slightly Lowered Do you need a new tire or tube for your car? Or did you have secret dreams of getting a new bus this month? Well then you'd better hurry about consulting with your ration board, because the OPA fiat has gone forth, and Orange county motorists, like their fellows all over the nation, have been placed on sharply reduced rubber and car rations. Even with the Southlands, reduction of tires, tubes and cars for October, it has been pointed out that the area still gets a break as compared with other sections of the nation. Frank Althis Jr., OPA FOOTBALL GAME Anaheim Union high school football squad will open the season tomorrow afternoon with a game in Santa Ana starting at o'clock. OFFICERS MEET The first open meeting of the Southern California Association of Fingerprinting Officers will held tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock. AUXILIARY POLICE Members of the auxiliary police heard Sgt. Harry Wilson describe the bombing of London and tell how the civilian defense world there, at a meeting last night Wilson has served with the Canadian and American armies. HOME IS PURCHASED After several weeks' search I find a pleasant home in this city Ross Lee Laird, recently arriving from Phoenix to take the secretary's post at Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, has purchased the Benjamin Home at 516 North Lemon street. Mrs. Laird and the couple's young son, Roger Laird, arrived recently and the family stayed at Hotel Valencio until the home was ready for our cupancy the first of the month Roger enrolled for his studies Fremont school. TAKES OFFICE Barbara Freese, Senior in Anaheim Union high school, and last year's president of the Senior 4- Examinations For Army-Navy To Be Given Here The second qualifying test for the Army Specialized Training Program and the Navy College program V-12 which will be given throughout the country on Tuesday, November 9, will be administered at the Anaheim Union high school, Principal Paul H. Demaree announced today. A pamphlet of general information which contains an admission identification form may be obtained at the high school office. This form properly filled out will admit to the test, students between the ages of 17 and 21 inclusive who are recent high school graduates of who will be graduated by March 1, 1944. Intent to take the test should be made known immediately to Demaree at the high school office in order that the necessary test supplies may be ordered. The same examination will be taken by both Army and Navy candidates. The examination is designed to test the aptitude and general knowledge required for the program of college training and all qualified students are urged to take the test. At the time of the test each candidate will be given a choice of service preference, but taking the test does not obligate the candidate to enlist in the service. The Army Specialized Training program and the Navy College program enable students to continue academic training at government expense following induction into the armed services. Successful completion of the prescribed courses may, following further officer training, lead to a commission in the Army or the Navy. Those selected for the Army will, after further screening and basic military training, well then you’d better hurry about consulting with your ration board, because the OPA fiat has gone forth, and Orange county motorists, like their fellows all over the nation, have been placed on sharply reduced rubber and car rations. Even with the Southlands, reduction of tires, tubes and cars for October, it has been pointed out that the area still gets a break as compared with other sections of the nation. Frank Althis Jr., OPA head for the eight southern counties, makes this point clear. “Nationally the reduction will amount to around 20 per cent,” he stated, but continued with the information that Southland motorists will escape with only a 16 per cent decline. Reduction in the releasing of tires is due, he explained, to the new OPA ruling that henceforth only those motorists who need to drive more than 601 miles a month will be eligible for Grade 1 tires. Orange county’s quota of Grade I tires for the month was set at 865, fewer by 165 tires than the September allowance. This situation was helped a trifle however by the quota of Grade III tires, of which 1275 were assigned to this county, as against 1211 for last month. October passenger tubes were set at 874, lower by 46 than last month. In truck tires, 378 were allotted, as against 425 for September, with 379 truck tubes, 34 more than a month ago. In the matter of new cars, Orange county purchasers are limited to 75, fewer by 13 than in September. Potato Ceilings Will Be Maintained Assurance has been given by L. M. Kearns, OPA price section chief for eight Southern California counties, that retail prices on potatoes for Southland consumers, will hold at present levels throughout October. This was in conformance with OPA action in extending ceiling prices put on potatoes of the early crop, to cover the late 1943 varieties as well. The move is part of the fight to hold the line on essential food prices, Kearns explained, and ceiling prices will be maintained through June of 1944, with only fractional advances to cover storage charges. Shipping point ceilings, U. S. Benjamin Home at 516 North Lemon street. Mrs. Laird and the couple's young son, Roger La Laird, arrived recently and the family stayed at Hotel Valencio until the home was ready for occupancy the first of the months.

The Army Specialized Training program and the Navy College program enable students to continue academic training at government expense following induction into the armed services.

D. is pastor, has set October apart for a campaign to reach every home in the city in observance of Church Advance week. “There is no intention of seeking to win members from other congregations,” Dr. Hendricks stated. “We are working only for a renewed sense of spiritual values, and to urge men and women to resume membership in the churches of their choice.” Local church events which started last Sunday with observance of World Communion, will include a two weeks' revival campaign starting October 17.

OFFICE Ana Freese, Senior in Ana-nion high school, and last president of the Senior 4-H Citizens Rally To Push War Bond Drive Over Top Anaheim citizens rallied to a real come-back last weekend when they pulled the lagging total for the city's share in the Third War Loan drive over the top by $500,000. Only a week and a day before the drive was over, Anaheim was falling behind, but a spurt of enthusiasm, ending with a Saturday night auction, pushed the final figures up to an excess of $2,000,000. The quota was $1,500,-000. Harry L. Hanson, chairman of the drive for Orange county, wants to express through the Gazette columns, his personal appreciation for the fine work done by the committee, workers and people of Anaheim. "I was never before so proud of Anaheim," he said, "and you have certainly done your share in putting the country over the top." A succession of rally meetings held in the school districts during the week gave the drive a needed shove and the auction staged on the last evening of the campaign finished things up with the traditional "bang." Tom Kilshaw, veteran Treasury department auctioneer was on hand again to keep the crowd bidding and having fun. He handled the opening auction. Fire Prevention Campaign Is Now Under Way Two more days are left in this Fire Prevention Week—two days in which Anaheim citizens should scurry upstairs and down, carrying out accumulated papers, rags, and old trash stored away in attic and garage. As the cold weather approaches and heating units will be put into use again, it is wise to check up on fire hazards which may be lurking behind some old trunk pushed far away out of sight. Loses from fire in war time become more serious even than in peace time—everyone should take an extra bit of caution this year. Anniversary Is Celebrated By Legion Post One of the highlights of the anniversary meeting of the American Legion post Monday night was Grant Rude's introduction of Warrant Officer George W.

A succession of rally meetings held in the school districts during the week gave the drive a needed shove and the auction staged on the last evening of the campaign finished things up with the traditional "bang." Tom Kilshaw, veteran Treasury department auctioneer was on hand again to keep the crowd bidding and having fun. He handled the opening auction Sept. 9. Not every one could be inside the building on Center street where the auction took place, but loud speakers attracted crowds which stood back into the middle of the street. Merchandise which was sold under the auctioneer's gavel was of an exceptionally high quality and went for sums up to $125,000. Prizes offered included toys, wearing apparel, furniture and a wide variety of articles. Two pair of Nylon hose caused a surge of comment from the women, but went to two male bidders. The Elks club won the $500 bond offered as a prize to the organization showing the largest total sales. The club's sales were $245,920. The Rotarians were second with $182,924 and the Ebell club was third with $50,850. The J. C. Penney Company contributed $8,000 of this fund from the store here. Penney stores throughout the nation have added ten million dollars to the drive. Several youngsters bid prizes for $25 bonds. Chairman Paul Demaree praised those who had contributed to the success of Anaheim's drive - his committee, the merchants and Ross Lee Laird, tireless secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Again Anaheim maintained her record of reaching and surpassing the goal set in a patriotic undertaking. Celebrated By Legion Post One of the highlights of the anniversary meeting of the American Legion post Monday night was Grant Rude's introduction of Warrant Officer George W. Boles, shipmate of his during the last war. Rude just recently got in touch with Boles, whom he hasn't seen for 25 years, after seeing pictures and an article in the National Legionnaire, monthly Legion magazine, about survivors from his ship, the U. S. S. Oosterdyck. The Gazette carried a story about the Rude's North Atlantic incident last Aug. 12 and he mailed it to N. R. Davis in care of the magazine. Davis replied in the last few weeks, giving Rude the names of four shipmates who had also written to him after publication of the story. The reunion between Boles and Rude came shortly after. The two friends plan to get together many times to discuss the old days of the last war since Boles, recalled from retirement for active duty in this war, is stationed in Long Beach. Other distinguished Legionnaires introduced, included Ewald Wegener of Orange; George Franzen, chief deputy sheriff; and D. B. Baldwin of Garden Grove. The meeting at which 125 Legionaires and guests shared turkey dinner served by the Auxiliary headed by President Nora Dodge, was a celebration of its own anniversary and the Silver Jubilee of the Legion. The program centered around a theme based on Americanism with Dr. John Lechner of Los Angeles, state department American Commission and director of the American Education League, as the guest speaker. Commander Henry W. Baxter dispensed with all business. Junior Past Commander K. B. Rigby gave an annual summary of the past Legion year. He pointed out the three-point program of the Legion -- Win the War; Win the Peace and Rehabilitation.

Dr. Robert G. Sproul, president of the University of California, said in speaking of cooperation in agriculture, "cooperative markets is in itself, the most important movement in agriculture and one of the most important in human relations." The speaker continued, "Handling three fourths of the western US crop, the Exchange has not only shown steady growth in total amounts but has become an increasingly important factor in the whole fruit growing industry. It made the story of oranges and lemons as a vital constituent healthy human diet so widely known that in a single generation these fruits have been taken out of the luxury class and designated essential even in time of war." More Men Leave For Armed Service The Selective Service board has recently released the names of 22 men who have been inducted into the armed services. The following are their names: Albert J. Acosta, Navy; Chesapeake A. Porter, Jr., Saul A. Diaz and Harold K. Utesch, Army. These boys from nearby communities have left for service: Eliton C. Alvarado, Donald E. Byse, James R.

The ground is in the Rancho Canyon de Santa Ana and will be taken over by Placentia for a consideration of $400. Ordinance No. 664 was passed. It is an amendment to Section 2A of Ordinance No. 94, which deals with the prohibiting of the consumption of intoxicating liquors on any public alley, street, parkway or park of this city. The amendment, now passed, changes the section to read, "alcoholic beverage" instead of "intoxicating liquors" and thereby includes all beverages which contain any alcohol whether in intoxicating portions or not. Resurfacing of the city streets will be underway by October 11, according to A. P. Hapgood, city engineer. Navy Mothers Add 12 Members Twelve new members were received into the Navy Mothers Club at the regular meeting held last night in the council chambers of the City Hall.

Smedley, Santa Ana, publicity chairman, will be speakers at the meeting to be held in the association headquarters in Santa Ana, according to Mrs. Edna Hewitt Crawford, executive secretary of the organization. "With the same sort of splendid cooperation that has been given in the past by the residents of this county and similar efforts of our splendid corps of volunteer workers, there seems every reason to predict that the 1943 seal sale will better all previous records. Last year, $16,040.83 was raised through the sale, a gain of 23% over the previous year," Dr. McAulay pointed out. He further states that, "the farther we become engaged in war, the greater becomes the opportunities for the spread of tuberculosis; the more need is present for increased activity of our tuberculosis associations. Knowing that, our people appreciate the connection between the two, I feel safe in predicting a banner sale in Orange county." Clowes Presides For First Time At Toastmasters Richard Clowes, newly elected president of Toastmasters, presided over his first meeting Tuesday night at the Parker House. Toastmaster Leo Oden led a discussion on the question of sending cigarettes to the boys overseas. Interest in the subject was heightened by the fact that some of those taking part in the meeting were veterans of the first world war and had experience in the morale value to soldiers on the battle fronts. P. H. Pendleton, acting Toastmaster of the evening, introduced the speakers on the program. The speakers and their topics were: Paul Blocher, "The Cord That Was Not Lost," referring to the parts of an airplane; Leroy Ater, "Why Russia is Unhappy"; Dr. C. O. Patterson told the story of "Kata Rangosa", a Christian native in the Solomon islands; and Frank Kellogg spoke on "Keep America American."

Rotary Hears Talk On Saddle Horses Matt Cohen, one of the best known saddle horsemen in America today, gave an unusual talk on "American Saddle Horses," before Rotary club members who met Monday noon at the Elks club. He pointed out that most pure bred saddle horses come from Kentucky, Ohio and Missouri, but during the last two years California has been coming to the front as a breeding state. California already ranks high for thoroughbred racing stock, he said, but is not famous for saddle horses. "All countries of the world participating in the war will come to the United States after the war for their breeding stock. This is not only true of horses, but of most other domestic animals," Cohen predicted. Program chairman of the day was Dr. Lee C. Deming. The birthdays of Eldon Deering and Dr. H. J. Johnston were remembered.
