Ted Mills Killed In Action Over Europe Flight Sergeant Ted Mills, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mills, East North street and Placentia avenue, was killed in action last Thursday somewhere over Europe. His wife and three-year-old son, Mickey, live with her parents in Santa Ana. She is the fromer Doris Cave. Flight Sergeant Mills is also survived by two sisters, Joan and Judy, of the home and a brother, Pfe. Maure Mills, with the Air Force in Tyler, Tex. Flight Sergeant Mills graduated from Anaheim Union high school in 1938. Many will remember him as a star tackle on the Colonist football team a few years ago. He attended the Santa Ana Junior College before enlisting in the Canadian Air Force in 1941 before Pearl Harbor. He was rejected by the United States Air Force because he was married. The rule concerning married men in the U.S. Air Force has since been revoked, and Flight Sergeant Mills could have transferred to the United States force, but due to the special training he had received in the Royal Canadian Air Force, he felt a loyal attachment to that service. Flight Sergeant Mills was trained as a pursuit pilot and flew the famed Spitfire, pride of the R.C.A.F. Scrap Bank Drive Quotas To Be Set At Meeting Monday Committees from every community in the county will meet in Santa Ana Monday evening to work out quotas and to coordinate plans for the new scrap drive, according to A. L. Raymond, scrap chairman for Anaheim. Tex Middleton, John Ardiaz and Bob Singleton have been added to the committee headed by Raymond to help work out details and keep the scrap piled high in Anaheim's bank. Other members of this committee are, Mrs. Al DeWitt and Victor G. Loly. Scrap is particularly needed here in southern California to supply the numerous steel and iron plants. The purpose of the scrap "bank" is to have a reserve accumulated from which the industries can draw as the need arises. Three million tons of scrap metal is the nations quota for the last half of this year--most of it must come from California and other places where the climate is such that the scrap can be easily gathered. In many places, the scrap will be buried in heavy snows during this season. Scrap should be deposited in the city yard on South Claudina soon. The drive ends Nov. 15. The committee has asked that no paper or tin cans be put on the pile at this time.

Gauer, superintendent of elementary schools, returned a few days ago from a state superintendents convention in San Francisco. Problems discussed at the convention were largely those brought to the school through war time conditions. An outstanding address by Dr. Donald B. Tressider, newly installed president of Stanford University, was entitled, "Tomorrow," dealing with the place of schools in the world of tomorrow. Group and section meetings took up city, county and state-wide problems in designing curricula to curb delinquency and changes in curriculum for the post war world. Other topics for discussion included the relationship of federal agencies to schools, the federal tax applicable to the schools and problems of training for World War II veterans. There was an interesting discussion as to post war technological education. Another meeting covered the timely problem for this state concerning minors and the war employment act. The meetings were well attended in spite of curtailed travel and proved to be worth while in every respect, according to Gauer.

The council feels it would not be for the best interests of the people of the United States, and in particular those of the State of California, to allow people of Japanese ancestry to reside here for the duration of the war. A recent statement of Chief Justice Stone, conclusively indicates that most persons of Japanese ancestry must feel a strong tie toward Japan and that there is no evidence that these Japanese reel any kindlier toward the United States than they did at the time of their evacuation. Associate Justice Murphy has said in speaking of the Japanese status of citizenship, "we will remove restrictions imposed on them, when the danger in past." The council feels that it is justified in being sure the danger is not past and that vigilance should be kept and Civilian Defense organization kept functioning.

Baker, Orange county supervisor, gave an informative talk on, "Our County Government," at the Rotary club meeting on Monday. Baker gave a brief but complete outline of the county government in which he explained that the county board of supervisors is so organized that each member is in charge of a phase of the county's activities. The speaker said that since Orange county was organized in 1889, the assessed valuation of the county has increased 25 times until the present income is approximately 11½ million dollars. He pointed out the fact that the tax rate for this county is next to the lowest of all the 58 counties of the state. "The rate could have been lowered for the present fiscal year perhaps," Baker said, "but is was the opinion of the board that a substantial reserve should be accumulated to take care of post war emergencies." He stressed the need for immediate attention to flood control after the war. In conclusion he said that the supervisors are responsible for following countries will be represented: China, Russia, Great Britain, Norway, the Netherland and France, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. The program will end with a processional, pledge to the flame and the playing of "America." About 75 piano and drama students of Mrs. Kate E. McCullah and Katherine McCullah will talk part in the program. Student range in age group from the nursery group through junior high school and graduate student.

The let-up on restrictions is made possible through a high degree of civilian defense efficiency and strict "blackout" requirements. Under the new proclamation No. 19, issued by Lieut. -Gen. Dolos C. Emmons, commanding general of the Western Defense Command, all restrictions are removed from traffic signals. Full headlights are permitted in all areas except those visible from the sea and in areas which are visible from the sea, headlights can be operated on the depressed beam with full candlepower instead of on the parking beam as before. Back areas are permitted unshielded lights up to 100 watts shielded lights on theatres and other recreational places is permitted up to 30-foot candle except in areas three miles or less from the sea. Outdoor advertising and display lighting continues to be prohibited. Street lighting throughout the entire area will remain shielded as formerly required. The purpose of former restrictions was to allow for a period of study to determine quantities of light, causes of sky glow, contributing factors to silhouetting of vessels offshore, and volume of light which may be permitted to afford security to the coast. From Oct. 1 until April 30, the lighting restrictions are to be applied from one-half hour after sunset until one-half hour before sunrise. 35 Miles Per Hour Pace Still The Rule The continued observance of the 35-mile speed limit was decided this week, by the Department of Motor Vehicles, as being the best method of keeping all California cars rolling for another year. Director Gordon H. Garland reported that investigations by the department based on findings of the Federal Public Roads Administration, indicate tires wear out four times as fast at 65 miles per hour as at 35 miles per hour. The California Highway Patrol will continue to issue warning cards to persons caught driving faster than 35 miles an hour and will report their names to their respective rationing boards.
