President Gives Report On Success Meeting War-Time Demands Details of what was termed "the precedent shattering year of 1943" in which telephone service was geared to meet the "accelerated war activities and industrial program of the Pacific coast," are given in the annual report to Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company shareholders just issued by N. R. Powley, president. A copy of the report as coming to Robert J. Rossberg, manager of the Anaheim branch of the company, says in part: "Nothwithstanding shortages of critical materials and difficulties in obtaining adequate operating personnel, we successfully met the telephone requirements of our government, military and civilian defense, and the industries vital to the war effort. Civilian demands, the highest on record, could not, of necessity, be met in full, due to the imperative essential war needs." In his report, Powell, who also is president of Southern California Telephone Co., a subsidiary to the Pacific Tel. and Tel. Co., stated that the number of company-owned telephones passed the two and a half million mark in July, 1943. The net increase in a little over three years, was 568,432 telephones. Toll and long distance calls in 1943 increased more than 27 percent over the previous all-time high of 1942. "The public has been sympathetic and understanding in its cooperation, and service criticisms have been the lowest on record," Powley stated. "This cooperation has aided us in keeping open the recognized right-of-way for the Army, Navy and agencies for the government and the industries engaged in production for military and naval purposes." Lions Lectured On Habits Of Faulty Eating Declaring that 85 percent of human ills are the result of faulty eating. P. O. Sampson, famed chef and dietitician, lectured to members of the Anaheim Lions club at their Friday noon meeting on scientific feeding. The speaker was introduced by Lion Bill McCarthy. Coming to the aid of the citrus industry he said that vinegar is unfit for human consumption and that in its place lemons should be used in all cases where tart seasoning is desired. Also, he said, sliced oranges have twice as much Beekeepers Hold Two-County Meet At Orange Friday "Honey marketing through cooperatives" was the main discussion before the beekeepers of Orange and Los Angeles counties when they met Friday evening at the Farm Bureau Hall at Orange, according to Farm Adivsor H.

P. O. Sampson, famed chef and dietitician, lectured to members of the Anaheim Lions club at their Friday noon meeting on scientific feeding. The speaker was introduced by Lion Bill McCarthy. Coming to the aid of the citrus industry he said that vinegar is unfit for human consumption and that in its place lemons should be used in all cases where tart seasoning is desired. Also, he said, sliced oranges have twice as much food value as orange juice, and that oranges or grapefruit should be eaten with the meal, or afterwards, and not before. Orange pulp and peel make the best processed stock food there is on the market, he said. “This country consumes 123 pounds of sugar per capita, or about one-half pound a day for every man, woman and child, which is seven times more sugar than should be eaten,” the speaker said. As a result of unscientific feeding 40 percent of the original draftees were found to be unfit for army duty, Sampson declared. Following the meeting he sold several of his books on diet at $5.00 per sale. As a special feature Lion Sam Hilgenfeld, the club's official orator, delivered an eulogy to George Washington which was well received by the members. District Attorney Jim Davis and Sheriff Jess Elliott were visitors from the Santa Ana Lions club. DECEMBER LICENSE SUSPENSIONS During December, 1943, California drivers totalling 947 had their licenses either suspended or revoked, according to data forwarded to the Automobile Club of Southern California. However, this represents an improvement over December, 1942, when revocations and suspensions were 1,421. “Honey marketing through cooperatives” was the main discussion before the beekeepers of Orange and Los Angeles counties when they met Friday evening at the Farm Bureau Hall at Orange, according to Farm Adivsor H. E. Wahlberg. Barney Remer, manager of the Sioux Honey Cooperative, Sioux City, Iowa, the largest honey cooperative in the United States explained how their large cooperative functions and its advantages. Dr. J. E. Eckert, bee specialist of the University of California was a guest speaker, discussing current apiary and industry problems. LeRoy Bell of Orange, who has recently been elected president of the Orange Empire Honey Producers Association, told of their new organization of honey producers recently organized in Orange County. Nine directors compose its board of directors. Besides Mr. Bell are Charles Reed, H. J. Crawford, Gerald Twombly, Earl Emde, Leonard Scrivens, Allen Dyer, George Adamson, and Richard Harris. Over 1,000,000 pounds of honey have been pooled by this new producers cooperative. A large attendance of beekeepers from both Orange and Los Angeles counties was present, according to Charles Reed, Orange, Chairman of the Beekeepers Department of the Farm Bureau, who presided. GARDEN GROVE MAN BUYS ORANGE GROVE Floyd A. Andres of Garden Grove has purchased from Henry C. Kester the 40-acre Valencia grove located at First and Newhope streets, for approximately $90,000. The grove contains full bearing orange trees ranging in age from 14 to 22 years. Improvements include a one-story house and pump house. Kester, who has been occupying the home will move to Santa Ana. March 2, 1944 GAZETTE MARCH 3, 1944 VOLUME LXXIV—NO. 23 Class Departs For Navy Service With City’s Good Wishes Anaheim inductees who chose service with the U.S. Navy when successfully completed pre-primaries in Los Angeles inducement center a few weeks ago, were then the usual God-speed breakout Saturday morning in American Legion clubrooms in the city before their departure to be assigned to Naval training stations.

For Miss Callan's journalistic enterprise and gifts were recognized by the local paper and its readers long before she entered upon her course at the university. One of her chief honors at the university was that of being made assistant editor of the Daily Trojan for the 1943-44 semester, the first time in the school's history that such an honor was bestowed upon a woman student. In addition to this she was given the coveted Theta Sigma Phi award made to the most outstanding journalist at the annual Women Students' Recognition assembly, held only a short time in advance of graduation ceremonies. Miss Callan, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Forest B. Callan, West Orangethorpe road, Fullerton, achieved such a scholarship and character record that she was admitted to the ranks of the Amazons, prominent honorary women's service organization on USC campus. Other campus activities in addition to her editorial duties included membership in Theta Sigma Phi, national journalistic fraternity; and in the Clionians, a writers' club in which membership is based on ability. Fullerton Baritone Will Under-Study Star of "Oklahoma" Always a popular soloist with Anaheim audiences, John Raitt, Fullerton baritone, has aroused general interest throughout the county by his steadily growing success in Southland musical circles, including various Hollywood screen roles.

Mrs. Mouliot was born in France but came to the United States at the age of 18, and lived in Anaheim for the past 33 years. She is survived by her niece, Mrs. Mene, and by two sisters, Mrs. Marie Jeanne Laer of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Marie LaSalle, still in France.

Medals Won By Marines MEDAL OF HONOR The Congressional Medal of Honor (Navy) is America's highest award for heroism on land, sea or in the air. It is awarded for valor and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty. Established in December, 1861, it is awarded in the name of the Congress of the United States. The medal is worn about the neck. NAVY CROSS The Navy Cross is awarded for extraordinary heroism in the line of duty. It ranks in third position following the Brevet Medal. A small gold star on this decoration and service ribbon indicates a second award of the same decoration. This medal was established in 1918. DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEDAL The Distinguished Service Medal is awarded those whose exercise of extraordinary good judgment in a position of great responsibility and whose outstanding performance of duty reflect credit on American Naval arms. It was established in 1918. BREVET MEDAL The Brevet Medal of the Marine Corps has not been awarded in recent years. It was originally awarded subordinates (officers or men) who were forced by circumstances of battle to lead landing parties or detachments after their commanding officers had become casualties. LEGION OF MERIT The award of the Legion of Merit is made to outstanding officers and enlisted men for "extraordinary fidelity and essential service." It constitutes a reward for service in a position of responsibility, honorably and well performed. It stems from the Badge of Military Merit, established in 1782. DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS The Distinguished Flying Cross is conferred upon any member of the United States who, while serving in any capacity, distinguishes himself by heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight. The medal is identical in all services.

The newspaper article opens with an account of Goble's arrival in Victorville on May 1, 1917 as cashier and organizer of First National bank, after resigning as cashier of Anaheim National bank. But it does not sketch in the earlier Anaheim days so familiar to local friends of the family. Elton Goble is the son of Mrs. Mary L. Goble, 316 East Broadway. In his youthful days he was an employee of the Anaheim Gazette under the late Henry Kuchel, but later forsook newspaper work for banking and other interests. These interests continued after his departure for Victorville where he saw the First National bank develop into a power in the community, aiding in development of ranch properties, light and power services, the Southwestern Portland Cement Co., and many similar business ventures. Goble also was secretary of the Bear Valley Development company which brought the telephone as well as electrical power to the mountain area. At present the former Anaheim is head of the Victor Valley Insurance agency. He is a frequent visitor here in his boyhood home, and his mother, Mrs. Mary L. Goble, only recently returned from a several weeks' visit with him and his wife at Victorville. Cypress Matron Dies in Hospital Private funeral services were conducted this (Thursday) afternoon in the Hilgenfeld chapel for Mrs. Violet Birnbaum of Cypress whose death after an extended illness occurred Monday in an Orange hospital. The Distinguished Service Medal is awarded those whose exercise of extraordinary good judgment in a position of great responsibility and whose outstanding performance of duty reflect credit on American Naval arms. It was established in 1918. SILVER STAR The Silver Star, instituted in 1935, is granted to persons serving in any capacity with the armed forces of the nation cited for gallantry in action which does not warrant the award of the Medal of Honor or the Distinguished Service Cross. It replaces the tiny Silver Citation Star of 1917-1918. AIR MEDAL The Air Medal is awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the armed forces of the United States, distinguishes himself by meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flight. It is granted in cases where the act of meritorious service does not warrant the Distinguished Flying Cross. PURPLE HEART The Purple Heart, originally established by General George Washington in 1782, was not issued for many years. It was reestablished in 1932, and made retroactive to cover awards to all officers and men who were wounded in action in any war or campaign under conditions entitling them to wear a wound chevron. UNcensored... By LEONE BAXTER To the heavy Allied bombing in at least two theatres of war during the past week, reaction at home is definite. There is nothing on any Japanese island, including Honshu itself, that Americans wish to preserve. The shrines are shrines honoring gods who urge and condone bestial conduct, figureheading a savagery that belongs to ages which most of the world has far outlived. Much as we detest wholesale bombings and the necessity for them, little will be destroyed in the bombings to come—right up to the Emperor in his throne room—that will be counted an irreparable loss to civilization. The obliterative bombing of huge civilian populations is said to have reached nearly 75,000. And unless the Nazis have secreted underground and far away those recognized objects of an earlier German culture, as well as art looted in their forays over Europe, the world's great cultural heritage is certain to suffer grievous losses before the shooting is over. Allied bombers long have carried two kinds of maps on their missions over Italy and France. One shows them their "target for tonight," the other the historic and cultural objects and how to avoid them. The Nazi-provoked destruction of such monuments as the Monte Cassino monastery, occasioned by their action in turning it into a blockhouse was an utterly wanton act on the part of the enemy. It is an Italian sacrifice to the Hitler strategy of building his war plants in residential sections and hiding behind humanitarian immunities. His only error has been in count- Cypress Matron Dies in Hospital Private funeral services were conducted this (Thursday) afternoon in the Hilgenfeld chapel for Mrs. Violet Birnbaum of Cypress whose death after an extended illness occurred Monday in an Orange hospital. The Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, former pastor of Zion Lutheran church, officiated at the rites which were followed by cremation. Mrs. Birnbaum, born in Montana 36 years ago, had been a California resident for the past 20 years. She is survived by her husband, Theo Frederich Birnbaum of Cypress, her mother, Mrs. Matttie Burns of Montana; a sister and brother also of Montana, and another sister, Mrs. Annabelle Prim of Long Beach. Death Claims Stanton Resident Joseph Maya, born 35 years ago in Mexico and a resident of this country for the past 16 years, two of which were spent in Stanton, died Tuesday evening in an Orange hospital after an extended illness. He is survived by his widow and three children of Stanton, Mrs. Susanna Maya, Esperanza, Leonora and Joseph Maya, Jr., and by five brothers and three sisters, all in Mexico with the exception of one brother, Ralph Maya of Artesia. Funeral rites were held Wednesday evening at the Assembly of God church in Stanton, under direction of the Hilgenfeld mortuary. The Rev. Ramon Manriquez officiated then and again at the concluding rites this morning followed by burial in Artesia cemetery. BONDS OVER AMERICA For years our government has worked to improve conditions for our citizens everywhere. Bonneville Dam in Oregon is one of hundreds of projects erected for our benefit. In Russia the Soviets with the help of American Engineers harnessed the waters of the Dnieper River. Hitler's Huns marched in and the Russians destroyed their greatest work of this generation.
