Good kite flyers heed the four safety rules below. They know that failure to observe these rules can result in injury to themselves and to power lines which carry electricity needed for war production. It's more fun to play safe when you fly your kites! Learn and follow these rules: 1. Fly kites in an open field, away from power lines and other overhead obstructions. 2. Never use wire, tinsel or metallic string. 3. Be sure the string is perfectly dry. 4. If the kite catches in a power line, let go immediately. Don't pull! Phone the company owning the line, and a lineman will come to get your kite for you.

Davis made an interesting discourse on the subject of crime, with special reference to its activities in Orange county. "Crime is the biggest business in the world," the district attorney said," and costs this nation more than $120 per capita per year for all the various agencies of crime control and prevention. While the nation spends over 15 billion dollars a year, Orange county's share in the expense of crime is $1,320,000 annually, and the problem continues to grow."

While the nation spends over 15 billion dollars a year, Orange county's share in the expense of crime is $1,320,000 annually, and the problem continues to grow," he said. “This county has more churches than any other area in the United States of the same population, it has 13 city courts, 11 justice courts, and three superior courts, all of which are designed to discourage crime, yet in 1943 the district attorney's office filed 1,350 criminal complaints with the courts,” the speaker said. “We do not file complaints unless we feel sure they are justified and out of the 1,350 filed last year we only lost two cases,” he continued. He gave many interesting details of the operation of his office, the courts and police departments and complimented the enforcement officers for the cooperation they have given in the war against crime. The speaker was introduced by Lion Ed Hackley, former schoolmate of the district attorney in their native Missouri. Mayor Charles Pearson introduced Glenn McLoud of the U. S.

The very least that you can do is to buy an extra $100 War Bond…above and beyond the Bonds you are now buying or had planned to buy. In fact, if you take stock of your resources, you will probably find that you can buy an extra $200…or $300…or even $500 worth of War Bonds. Sounds like more than you “can afford”? Well, young soldiers can’t afford to die, either….yet they do it when called upon. So is it too much to ask of us that we invest more of our money in War Bonds…the best investment in the world today? Is that too much to ask? BACK THE ATTACK! ANAHEIM MARKET
