Newly Seated Judge Faces Competition For Position Seated early in January on the Orange county superior court bench, Judge Raymond Thompson of Fullerton will face competition for that post in the May primary, since Dist. Atty. James L. Davis of Santa Ana has filed his declaration of intention to be a candidate for the post. Judge Thompson was appointed to the bench to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Judge G. K. Scovel. Presiding Superior Judge Franklin G. West also filed his notice of intention this week as a candidate to succeed himself for a second six-year term. Indications point to his being alone in the field. The campaign season opened this year earlier than usual because of action by the state legislature to abandon the usual August primary by moving it up to the May 16 presidential preferment primary. In Orange county this action affects all justices of the peace and two county supervisors in addition to the two superior court judgeships. Supervisors James A. Baker of this city representing the third supervisoral district, and Fred C. Rowland of Santa Ana, first district, whose tenures as members of the county board of supervisors both expire this year, have the period between Feb. 16 and March 7 to file their declarations. Both have indicated that they will be candidates to succeed themselves, and as yet no other candidates have announced their intention of entering the race although there seems to be a gen- Kiwanis To Hear World War Hero At Coming Meeting Paul Bakenhus as chairman for next Tuesday's program for Kiwanis club, aroused interest at this week's meeting by his announcement that Capt. Fuller of New Britain and Coral Island fame, would return to the club for a talk next Tuesday. He will relate some of his experiences as pilot of a Flying Fortress in South Pacific engagements with the Japs. This week's Kiwanis meeting in Elks club, with President Frederick Robins presiding and Joe Sowder as program chairman, was likewise an outstanding event. For Sowder introduced one of Orange county's best known leaders of youth movements, Judge Kenneth E. Morrison of Santa Ana, in observance of National Boy Scout week, Judge Morrison's talk was key- Warning Against Issued By Chief With several suspects in large fictitious check ring seized operating in the South now taken into custody, and dragnet out for others, Chico Police Teed L. Wilder has issued a pertinent warning to all of heim's retail merchants. Pointing out that merciless and government officials have cashed a number of commercial and government checks for persons other than the full owners, and in many cases have lost considerable money by accepting checks forged endorsements, he them to refuse to cash checks where they may be certain of the identity and of the person presenting them. "Before cashing ANY ask yourself this question," Wilder urges: "If this check turned because of a forge dorsement, can I locate the and recover my loss?" The warning is given as to the police department's service to the public, and in co-operate with the "Know Your End." Many Men Volunteer Coast Guard's H Although approximately a hundred men from the Anas Fullerton area already have listed for service with the unteer Port Security Force U.S. Coast Guard Reserve need is still so urgent that sign Wallace of the U.S. this city representing the third supervisoral district, and Fred C. Rowland of Santa Ana, first district, whose tenures as members of the county board of supervisors both expire this year, have the period between Feb. 16 and March 7 to file their declarations. Both have indicated that they will be candidates to succeed themselves, and as yet no other candidates have announced their intention of entering the race although there seems to be a general opinion that others will file. Abandonment of the August primary by legislative action was in order to give the soldiers the voting privilege. Otherwise there would be insufficient time between the August primary and the November election date. WPB Sets Quota For New Buses During Next Year In permitting the manufacture of a limited number of buses in 1944, the War Production Board has given further recognition to the importance of highway transportation in the war effort, according to Arthur M. Hill, president of the National Association of Motor Bus Operators. WPB has set a tentative quota of 6,960 integral type buses to be built for civilian use in the next twelve months. Indications are that 1700 will be allocated for intercity service. Mr. Hill stated that more than 4,000 of the nation's 22,000 intercity buses are over eight years old, the life expectancy of such vehicles. Although highway buses are now carrying triple the number of passengers of any pre-war year, no new equipment has been made available for over-the-road use since 1942 and there is an acute need for replacements. Many buses are being driven 10,000 to 12,000 miles a month to meet wartime transportation demands. Older models are kept operating only because the industry has developed more intensified methods of maintenance, repair, and conservation. While the number of new buses promised the intercity lines is far less than the annual requirements in peacetime, even the limited quantity will help by replacing the carriers which have South Pacific engagements with the Japs. This week's Kiwanis meeting in Elks club, with President Frederick Robins presiding and Joe Sowder as program chairman, was likewise an outstanding event. For Sowder introduced one of Orange county's best known leaders of youth movements, Judge Kenneth E. Morrison of Santa Ana, in observance of National Boy Scout week. Judge Morrison's talk was keynoted by his assertion that the Scout movement is one of the best means of combating juvenile delinquency. His own work not only with Scouts but with youth in general, has long been recognized. During the course of his talk he announced that Boy Scouts of America now boasts a membership in excess of a million youths. The talk was an excellent introduction to Anaheim's annual financial drive on behalf of the Scout movement, which started this week. Particularly interested guests at the luncheon were members of Kiwanis Scout Troop No. 74, and L. E. ("Tex") Middleton, president of the North Orange County Boy Scout council. New members inducted with appropriate ceremonies by William P. Webb, were William Schumacher and Earl Dahlman. Secretary Jordan Gives Information On Soldier Voting Requesting all California newsapers to give publicity to information on the matter of voting by those in the armed forces, Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan has expressed the opinion that such publicity will be valuable, since readers may advise their relatives in overseas service, on rules governing absentee voting. Jordan has explained that the federal government will provide cards to those voters absent from their home precincts, by means of which they may apply for ballots. However he has emphasized the importance of prospective voters designating their party affiliations in addition to answering all questions contained on the cards. This is important, Jordan stated, since if party affiliation is not included and the applicant has South Pacific engagements with the Japs. Although approximately a dred men from the Anaheim Fullerton area already have listed for service with the unteer Port Security Force at U. S. Coast Guard Reserve need is still so urgent that sign Wallace of the U. S. Guard will be at chamber of mercy Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to enlist other recruits.

Panhellenic Meets Monday Evening Members of North Orange City Panhellenic society are pating their postponed meetings an event of Monday evening Fullerton, with Valerie Lo and Joyce Harris as co-hosts. Many buses are being driven 10,000 to 12,000 miles a month to meet wartime transportation demands. Older models are kept operating only because the industry has developed more intensified methods of maintenance, repair, and conservation. While the number of new buses promised the intercity lines is far less than the annual requirements in peacetime, even the limited quantity will help by replacing the carriers which have reached the point where overhauling and repair work is impractical for dependable operation. DAR Announces Meetings For Next Two Months The Southern Council of the California State Society, Daughters of the American Revolution will meet Tuesday, February 15, at 11 o'clock at Patriotic Hall, 1816 South Figueroa, with Mrs. Frank E. Lee, State Regent, presiding. The call to conference has been issued throughout the state by Mrs. Frank E. Lee, State Regent, Daughters of the American Revolution.

General features and a hearty good time are assured. Open registers, badges, coffee will be provided. Jordan has explained that the federal government will provide cards to those voters absent from their home precincts, by means of which they may apply for ballots. However he has emphasized the importance of prospective voters designating their party affiliations in addition to answering all questions contained on the cards. This is important, Jordan stated, since if party affiliation is not included and the applicant has not previously registered to vote, he will receive only a non-partisan ballot. In order to vote each absentee applicant in the armed forces must forward the government-provided card to Secretary of State Jordan. Or he may write the county clerk of the county in which he previously resided, requesting an absentee voter’s ballot. In Orange county he would address County Clerk B. J. Smith, Santa Ana. Action already has been taken by the state legislature to continue the usual August primary with that of the May 16 presidential preferment primary. This was done in order to make the soldier vote possible as otherwise there would not be sufficient time between the August primary and the November general election. Figures Given On City's Sewage Flow This city's flow of sewage during January reached a total of 40,799,600 gallons, or 36.6 percent of the total flow of 131,803,300 gallons for Sections 2 to 6 inclusive of the Joint Outfall Sewer and Waste Water Disposal company. These figures were quoted by Ewald Lemcke, maintenance engineer, for council members Tuesday night.

Warning Against Bogus Check Artists Issued By Chief of Police Wilder With several suspects in the fictitious check ring said to be operating in the Southland, they taken into custody, and the gnet out for others, Chief of Police Teed L. Wilder has issued pertinent warning to all of Anaheim's retail merchants. Pointing out that merchants are cashed a number of commercial and government checks on persons other than the law-owners, and in many cases lost considerable sums of money by accepting checks with fraud endorsements, he urges them to refuse to cash such checks where they may be untain of the identity and right of the person presenting them.

Two of the men assertedly affiliated with the fictitious check ring, have been turned over to authorities in Southland cities after questioning by Fullerton and Santa Ana police. They are Ted Walsh, who was released to San Diego authorities for prosecution on charges of passing six worthless checks in that city, and Samuel Woolchow, who went to Long Beach to answer to similar charges. In both cases officers stated that checks were made out as salaries and were drawn on such well-known firms as Libby, McNeil and Libby, the Kraft Cheese Co., and the H. J. Heinz Co. Other suspects held in custody in Santa Ana include James Deza and John Griffin. They were returned to this county from Oklahoma City where the asserted head of the ring, Thomas German, jumped bail and has not yet been apprehended.

Not all the victories are on our side; not all the losses are our enemy's. Here you see barrel upon barrel of good American fuel going up in smoke after a Jap strafing. The boys cannot be replaced but the material can—that is, if all real Americans do their utmost in the war effort and buy War Bonds. Make your dollars work for victory: Buy More War Bonds.
