Many 17-Year-Olds Are Enlistees For Naval Service Two Anaheim youths, Roma Dean Montgomery and Robert Peralta, were numbered among 18 of Orange county’s 17-year-olds who enlisted in the U. S. Navy during the last two weeks of December, according to the latest press release from the county's Navy Recruiting station in Santa Ana. F. A. Cochran, recruiter in charge, pointed out that such youths now have the opportunity to choose the branch of service which they prefer, whereas if they wait until they are 18 years old, they will come under Selective Service, thereby losing the opportunity to volunteer for the Navy. Of the late December group of enlistees, North Orange county produced a number in addition to those from Anaheim. Francis Anthony Bushman and Thomas Edward Hotz enlisted from Fullerton; Donald Dee Smith from La Habra and George Robert Hopkins from Olive. Two were from Orange, Gwylym Williams, Jr., and Orville Glenn Groover. Santa Ana had the largest number of enlistees, the five including Harold W. Rosier, Edward M. Gantt, Charles E. Stack, James Edgar Heim and Robert V. McClernon. From other county points were George J. Blendlin and Roger F. Hamerlinck, Costa Mesa; Jack L. Lashbrook, San Clemente; Ralph B. Kelly, Huntington Beach, and Luis Romero, San Juan Capistrano. LIEUT. GARDNER AT ROSWELL FIELD Second Lieut. Charles R.

It was the final session at which Ewald Lemcke will preside and next week he will turn the presidential gavel over to his successor, Frederick Robins. Marion Pickel, program chairman for the day, introduced Nickel who told of the stepped-up physical program of the schools, in keeping with wartime America. This program includes organization of student cadet corps in all high schools of the state. He described also pre-induction courses in physics and aeronautics. Nickel also told of the efforts being made in the local school to promote stamp and bond sales; of the collection of 29 tons of paper in a recent drive, and of the work of girl students in making surgical dressings for the Red Cross. "We dare not rear a generation of young people without ideals of a democratic type of government," Nickel said in concluding a description of the form of student government now being used. Short talks were made by other Kiwanians. Everett Cone discussed war-time restrictions as applied to his business as an automobile dealer, and Glenn Merrill discussed problems of lumber industry as imposed by stringent regulations.

The breakfast menu was served by members of the Red Cross Canteen under direction of Mrs. Joe Walters, and the selectees heard an interesting short program featuring a talk by M. E. Beebe. His talk on what the boys are really fighting for, was especially arresting, for his son, Lieut. Com. Marshall Beebe, Jr., was one of the fortunate survivors of the sunken aircraft carrier, Liscombe Bay. Arrangements for the breakfast were made under direction of the Anaheim Civic committee headed by K. B. Rigby, past Legion commander. Short talks were made by Mayor Charles A. Pearson and by Jimmie Heffron, adjutant and past commander of Legion post, and invocation was offered by the Rev. Thomas L. Burdeh of White Temple Methodist church. Fraternal and civic organizations of the city were well represented. Many of the leaders were introduced during the half hour wait occasioned by the delayed arrival of the bus upon which the half hundred or more selectees left for the Los Angeles induction center there to take their positions. ONLY THE WORTHY REMAIN FREE (From Industrial News Review) As the calendar heralds 1944, grim predictions of allied political and military leaders rank foremost in the minds of all people. Nine-leen-hundred-forty-four is the year of decision. It is the year of total destruction, death and suffering. It may well be the year of military victory—thanks to the courage of our fighting men and the American production miracle. Armament production in the United States has reached staggering proportions. In November every five minutes saw the birth of one new complete plane. The month's total was 8,789, of which 1,000 were heavy bombers. More than 150,000 war planes have been built since the start of hostilities. Nineteen million tons of merchant ships were launched in 1943, compared to 1,163,000 tons in 1941. Naval and shipbuilding has outstripped the imaginations of the wildest dreamers. About a dozen aircraft carriers were turned out in November alone. Warship tonnage in 1941 was 2,132,000. Out of the ashes of Pearl Harbor it rose to 5,000,000 tons in 1943, a colossus bent on the destruction of Japanese aggression and Nazi tyranny. Tanks, guns and supplies are being produced in unbelievable quantities. These things were made possible by the productive genius of free enterprise. In the hands of 10,000,000 American men and their companions in arms, they are America's answer to the warped leaders of Europe and Japan who have challenged our freedom... But we have no cause to rejoice. Tens of thousands of our men must die in 1944 to meet the challenge of the dictators. Usual year-end speechmaking and editorial phrase-making are out of place. The people were told when the war started that they would have to make sacrifices. They were told that this was total war. And, yet, other than those who have given their men, no one has so far made an iota of real sacrifice. It is not in the cards for such a conditions to continue. Sometime in the not-too-distant future we, at home, are going to find out what total war means, even though we may never feel the impact of bombs on our cities. A pretty good indication of how we are going to find out can be seen in the gusts of bitter controversy sweeping through the land over strikes, taxes, subsidies and inflation. They are the prelude to the storm. When it hits in full fury, the test of our love of freedom will be upon us. No person in this nation can ever shut from his mind the awful vision of the last days of 1943 in which 1,000 Marines lay dead on the beaches of one little South Pacific island. Those men died for the right to be free. We at home have yet to prove worthy of the freedom for which they died. LOCAL YOUTH ENLISTS WITH MARINE CORPS Anaheim contributed another youth to the U. S. Marine Corps this week, Pedro Augustine Perez, 18, whose home is on Gilbert street, Route 1, Box 333A. Private Perez, who has been working for the M. W. Kellogg company, is the son of Mrs. Francisca Perez Delgado of Central, N. M. Now on a 14-day furlough, Perez will leave January 18 for the Marine Corps base, San Diego, to begin his recruit training. LA HABRA FLIER MISSING IN ACTION Chief of Police Andy Johnson of La Habra, and Mrs. Johnson have abandoned hope that their son, Dick, survived his second "missing in action" in the South Pacific. He had been reported some months ago as missing in that theater of war, but later turned up safe and sound. However no such happy outcome has developed on the latest report of the young Navy flier's plane having been shot down in heavy action occurring in the Pacific zone in early December. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have been notified that their son's personal effects are being shipped to them. Many Scholarships To Be Awarded By Pomona College High school and junior college students of Anaheim have been notified that they will be eligible to participate in competitive examinations on Feb. 12 for $7,500 in high school and junior college scholarships offered by Pomona college. Twenty high school scholarships, four of them for $500 and four for $350, will be awarded together with seven junior college students out what total war means, even though we may never feel the impact of bombs on our cities. A pretty good indication of how we are going to find out can be seen in the gusts of bitter controversy sweeping through the land over strikes, taxes, subsidies and inflation. They are the prelude to the storm. When it hits in full fury, the test of our love of freedom will be upon us. No person in this nation can ever shut from his mind the awful vision of the last days of 1943 in which 1,000 Marines lay dead on the beaches of one little South Pacific island. Those men died for the right to be free. We at home have yet to prove worthy of the freedom for which they died. - So The People May Know - By Congressman John Phillips One hundred years from now, when history will have recorded the incidents of the period through which we are now going, this will undoubtedly be called "the incredible decade," or something like that. There are a few quotations I do not want overlooked. As history's little helper, I will record them now. The Price Control Act says that advisory committees are to be formed from the groups which will be affected by control rulings. Congress wrote this section in, believing the experiences of men and women of these trade groups would be helpful in establishing equitable and workable controls. The OPA never thought much of this provision. Often it ignored it; sometimes it called these committees into conference, when its own decision had already been made. Under Mr. Bowles, more attention has been paid to this part of the law. I now quote from the current issue of a well known news magazine. "By the latest count, the OPA has 320 business, 96 labor, and 4 consumer advisory committees." You will observe that, out of 417 advisory committees in OPA, not one represents the farmer. The next quotation is from a letter I have just received from the editor of a well-known news letter. This news letter repeated one of the statements, on the subsidy argument, being poured out from the Washington propaganda machine. The idea was that, if consumer subsidies were not voted, inflation would be the direct result; also that food control in this war is a better job than in the last war. It isn't, as you know. I wrote and asked the editor of the news letter for the source of the figures, on which he made the statements. I now quote from his reply: "Our comment on price control in this war was taken directly from OPA's own economic material, the precise accuracy of which is, as you know, questioned by many." I just want history to have that in mind, looking back! The next quotation is from Mr. Bowles himself. He wrote to a Los Angeles attorney, a friend of mine, who had challenged his statements about the necessity for consumer subsidies, and I quote from the letter: "Of course there are arguments against subsidies, the validity of which I recognize. They will add to the tax burden and increase the national debt. They introduce new principles into the American economy which have never before been experienced." I want history to record that one. I have been saying, and so have all who oppose the present "consumer subsidy program" that this is something new in America; but something well known to history in the past, and always a failure. The last quotation is the best of all. I will have to let it go over until next week. TERMS OF WILL ARE MADE PUBLIC According to a petition filed in superior court this week by Cecil R.

THERE THEY ARE — Marines "hit the deck" as soon as they reach the beach and crawl ahead of their stomachs so they will be smaller targets for the waiting Japs. Here a squad leader points toward the spot from which Japs are firing. His squad crawled ahead and eliminated the enemy strong point.
