Local Agricultural, Business Leaders Invited To State C of C Conclave at L. A. Agricultural and business leaders of Orange county, together with members of the Board of Supervisors and officials of local chambers of commerce, have received a call, issued by Hal G. Hotchkiss, of San Diego, regional vice president of the California State Chamber of Commerce, to attend the forthcoming session of the Chamber's Southern Council. The meeting is to be held on Thursday, January 27, at the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, starting with a series of committee session at 9:45 a.m., culminating with luncheon at which action will be taken on committee reports and recommendations. Since this is the initial council meeting of the current year, the letter of invitation extended by Hotchkiss emphasized the need for developing a sound plan of action to be followed in solution of problems relating to agriculture, industry, transportation and highways, natural resources, and taxation. Projects of both regional and statewide importance will be considered at the conference, Hotchkiss stated. "We have invited leaders of all areas and all economic interests in the ten southern counties to confer with us," he said, "since we consider it essential that full consideration be given to the affairs of this area, and that the greatest possible degree of cooperation and coordination be achieved." Leaders of business culture from Orange County invited to attend include: Anaheim, Ted Craig, Dan; Corona Del Mar Mitchell; El Toro, Ben Fullerton; Stanley C.

EVERYBODY—AN EXTRA $100 WAR BOND IN THE 4th WAR LOAN DRIVE EVERYBODY—AN EXTRA $100 WAR BOND IN THE 4th WAR LOAN DRIVE Your government is urging you—urging everyone with a job and an income—to buy an extra $100 War Bond in the Fourth War Loan Drive. That’s the least being asked of every American—over and above your regular, month-in-and-month-out purchases. We’ve got to have that extra money for victory! And it won’t be easy for most of us to set it aside! Taxes and living costs are a heavy burden. We’ll just have to sacrifice and skimp and save to put this drive across! Do without everything you don’t absolutely need for happiness and health. Don’t buy a single useless thing or waste one precious penny. And put everything you can possibly raise into War Bonds. No sacrifice you can make can approach the sacrifices of our marines on the blood-soaked sands of islands in the Pacific or our soldiers who are fighting their way mile by mile towards Berlin. No sacrifice you can make can remotely match the selfless heroism of our gallant flyers over Germany or our sailors grappling with the tricky, stealthy Japanese fleet! Our boys are giving up their homes and their families, their sweethearts and their jobs, even their lives. Let’s back them up by buying United States War Bonds—the strongest and most productive security in the world. Buy an extra Bond in the Fourth War Loan Drive. You’ll help to keep Old Glory flying everywhere it belongs! City Donates 1,800 Garments To Be Sent To War Needy Some place in war-torn Europe, sad faced children are going to snuggle down gratefully in warm clothing once worn by Anaheim’s more fortunate little boys and girls; patriots of the underground and evacuees from bombed cities are going to be thankful for garments once worn by Anaheim’s men and women. All because of the success of a recent salvage drive. Some two weeks ago when this city’s Civilian Defense Salvage committee of which A. L. Raymond is chairman, undertook to collect rags and old clothing, members found their efforts crowned with astonishing success. In the period of approximately 10 days, the committee took in fully a ton and a half of such material. Much of it was composed of waste rags, all of which will find their place in the war effort in due time. But included were many garments which still had much wear in them. These garments were cleaned and repaired, with the result that the committee workers discovered they had a total of 1,800 pieces of clothing, all eminently wearable, to be sent to the needy in re-occupied countries of Europe. The clothing has been turned over to Defense Supplies Corp., of which former Governor Raymond of Massachusetts is chairman, and Chairman Raymond of the local committee, has been assured that it will be sent on its way at once, to bring warmth and comfort to the stricken peoples in the re-occupied zones. The remainder of the local collection will all be used for military purposes, as gun wrappings and the thousand and one uses which Uncle Sam has found for otherwise waste material. Raymond E. Smith Advanced To Rank Of Full Colonel “Eagles have been flying around since Dec. 28” was the characteristic way in which Col. Raymond E. Smith relayed the news to City Ordinance Has First Reading City councilmen held a comparatively uneventful session this week in the city hall, where the principal matter of business was consideration given a new ordinance, regulating use of public sewers. First reading was given the ordinance, which will affect local Raymond E. Smith Advanced To Rank Of Full Colonel "Eagles have been flying around since Dec. 28" was the characteristic way in which Col. Raymond E. Smith relayed the news to Mrs. Smith at the family home, 518 South Dickel street, that he now wears the insigne of the colonel's eagle on the shoulder of his uniform, replacing the maple leaf of a lieutenant colonel. The letter containing the happy news was written by Col. Smith on Jan. 3 from his present base somewhere in the Mediterranean area, and reached Mrs. Smith Tuesday. She is especially proud of her husband's military career, since he rose from the rank of a "buck private" in 1914, entering The First World War after having served on the Mexican border. By August, 1918, he had advanced to a second lieutenancy, and when World War 2 came, he enlisted in May, 1941 with the rank of a major. Just two years ago he was advanced to lieutenant-colonel, and the award of his City Ordinance Has First Reading City councilmen held a comparatively uneventful session this week in the city hall, where the principal matter of business was consideration given a new ordinance, regulating use of public sewers. First reading was given the ordinance, which will affect local industries in the probability of its passing by the city council. Its terms will govern the use of sewers by such industries, tending toward prevention of pollution by prohibiting the dumping of deleterious substances such as citrus pulp and peel, fats, oils, etc. Walton League Has Fine Program At Installation Event Since members of Izaak Walton league are campaigning for the establishment of club headquarters at Harmony park and an increased membership list, they took a long forward step last Thursday night by staging an outstanding program and dinner at the park in connection with annual election and installation of officers. George Sloop presided at installation ceremonies when Don Pannier was placed in the presidency, succeeding Henry DuBois. Returned to office were Dick Martin, vice president; Allen Hughes, secretary, , and Charlie Evans, treasurer. Preceding the ceremonies was a barbecued venison dinner prepared under chairmanship of Arthur B. ("Bud") Paschall, and shared by some 250 appreciative diners, since the league members made the occasion their annual ladies' night. Venison was served through cooperation of some 30 local sportsmen who bagged four deer in the hunting season when they shared the Kiwanis cabin at Idyllwild. Hot biscuits served with the fine menu called forth many compliments for Chairman Paschall, who made them. Program features maintained the same high level. Guest speaker was Capt.

By August, 1918, he had advanced to a second lieutenancy, and when World War 2 came, he enlisted in May, 1941 with the rank of a major. Just two years ago he was advanced to lieutenant-colonel, and the award of his eagles is the latest recognition of his military ability. Col. Smith has been in the European war zone since March 1, 1943 when he arrived in Africa in the midst of the battle of Tunisia. Mrs. Smith has lost no time in sending on the good news of his advance and his welfare to their son, William ("Bill") Smith, aboard the USS North Carolina now in the South Pacific. Bill, who spent five years in Alaska where he was with one of the big mining companies after graduation from University of Alaska, came home two years ago to enlist in the Navy. While the men of her family are serving on the battle front, Mrs. Smith is just as active on the home front. She has worked with Civilian Defense in various capacities, including aircraft identification, and works indefatigably with the Red Cross, among other self-assumed duties. HOCKADAY HEADS SANTA ANA CHAMBER Robert N. Hockaday is the newly elected president of Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, succeeds Dudley Morrison. Chester A. Warren takes over the treasurer's post from which Harry L. Hanson resigned after 25 years in office. During the past year the Exchange Orange Products plant at Ontario furnished more than one-fifth of all concentrated orange juice purchased by the government. COUNTY PURCHASING AGENT RESIGNS Acting upon advice of his physicians, Charles H. Chapman has resigned from his duties as Orange county purchasing agent and all other business interests for the present. It will be remembered that he suffered a stroke while at his duties in the court house a few weeks ago. County supervisors in accepting his resignation, named his chief asssitant, Mrs. Glad Bower, to the post although at no advance in her salary. Everybody reads The Gazette. ILLINOIS PICNIC Ushering in the 1944 picnic season, the Illinois Association of Southern California, will hold an all-day picnic reunion at Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles, Saturday, January 22nd. Judge Georgia Bullock will speak on "Juvenile Problems." The national grapefruit crop during the 1942-43 season was by far the greatest ever produced, 15 per cent greater than the record-breaking year of 1938-39. I HEAR A LOT OF FOLKS AT HOME CLAIM THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY AN EXTRA WAR BOND! WHAT WOULD a wounded soldier think of you if he could hear you say: "I can't afford to buy an extra War Bond?" He might remind you that he couldn't "afford" to go to war! But he went, and now he's making more sacrifices...for you. No wonder he expects you to do something that will help him! Especially when all you're asked to do is to buy an extra $100 War Bond this month. So check over your budget ...see if you can't swing at least an extra $100...or $200...or $300...or even $500 for extra War Bonds.
