Red Cross Drive Reaches $33,000 Funds for the Red Cross War Fund drive are swelling daily and on Wednesday, as the paper went to press, $33,000 had been turned in to the local chapter, E. J. Powers, chairman of the drive, reported. Anaheim's minimum quota was $28,500 and this was met a week ago, but there are still many people who have not yet made contributions and they are urged to do so immediately by contacting Red Cross headquarters on East Center street. Originally the national drive was scheduled to end March 31, but it has been extended another month in an effort to swell the national total. Every dollar given is a dollar used in vital war relief work. The blood plasma bank and packages to our war prisoners, alone, takes thousands of dollars and the need for both will become greater with each succeeding month, Mr. Powers said. By the time final figures are in each district in the Anaheim vicinity will have met its quota, Mr. Powers believed. Fire Proves False Alarm at Church Mutilating Ration Tokens Carries Heavy Penalty Warning that anyone defacing, mutilating or altering a ration token is subject to the same U.S. statutes and penalties as one who does the same thing to actual coins was issued today by Stanley Jewell, OPA head enforcement attorney for the food unit of eight southern California counties. "Conviction of defacing, mutilating or altering a ration token puts the defendant in the same position as a counterfeiter, and makes him subject to a maximum fine of $10,000 or one year in jail or both," says Jewell. "Prompt and effective prosecution of all persons involved in such cases has been promised by the United States Attorney's office, and our OPA enforcement legal staff is ready to prosecute vigorously all such cases in the Federal Courts. "The matter controlling discovery of abnormal tokens is to be laid primarily at the retailers' doors, since no banks will accept altered or mutilated tokens for deposit. At the same time, our enforcement officials will welcome reports from any citizens who may discover any altered, defaced or mutilated tokens. These should be addressed to the Head of the Food Enforcement Bureau."

TO BUILD HOUSE Dave Phillips of 530 Chestnut street, has taken out a building permit at the county building department for the construction of a $3,000 dwelling in Stanton. a pre-election tour of his district. His appearance at the Lions club will not be in the nature of a campaign speech, however he is expected to bring some highlights about the nation's capitol in war-time. Club members have been asked to bring guests who might be interested in hearing the congressman's report on many interesting features of life in Washington under the stress of war activity. Reservations should be made for extra guests however. At last Friday's meeting the guest speaker was H. G. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, who was brought to the club by J. A. Baker, program chairman for March. He was introduced by Lion Joe Wilmore. The theme of Mr. Wahlberg's interesting talk was based on a recent trip to the east and middlewestern agricultural areas, including a visit to the Chicago and Cleveland citrus auctions and the stockyards where he found that an over-production of hogs had glutted the market. In spite of the wartime demand for meat the farmers have out-produced the market and every available pen was full of hogs on the hoof at the time he was there, Mr. Wahlberg said. He was impressed with the vastness of the interior country, where much territory is yet to be settled, in spite of which, the trend is from the land to the cities and towns. He touched upon the severe winter drought that prevails in Ohio, Indiana and the district south of the Great Lakes where farmers are discouraged over the prospects of being able to make a crop this year on account of the unprecedented dryness. Prices of the farmers' produce stand at 192 percent, based on the 1910-14 era, as compared to the wages of factory workers which are on the same basis up to 390 per cent. Food costs are up 25 per cent, compared to manufactured products which are up 69 per cent plus, Mr. Wahlberg said. A new club roster of the members was distributed by Dist. Gov. Louis Hoskins who also announced the meeting of the Orange County Council of Lions clubs to be held here on the night of April 13. Curtis Case, representing the Kiwanis club, was present and invited the Lions to attend a dinner TO BUILD HOUSE Dave Phillips of 530 Chestnut street, has taken out a building permit at the county building department for the construction of a $3,000 dwelling in Stanton.

He stated that at least 3,000 boys and girls will be needed to harvest the crops. Job Printing, Gazette, Ph. 2206. LION REV. G. H.
