Ted Craig May Have Safe, Letter Received From Company A letter received this week by Mr. and Mrs. Ted Craig of Brea, revived their hopes that their son, Lieut. Edward (Ted) Craig, Jr., recently reported missing in action somewhere in the New Guinea war theatre after his bomber failed to return from a mission. The letter, dated March 23, was from Lieut. Dick Ferris of the same flying command, who said he was Ted's closest friend in the air service, was optimistic in expressing the belief of the writer that the missing flyer would return in due time. The family and their host of friends received the tidings with renewed hopes and will anxiously await further word from Lieut. Ferris. The letter follows: "Dear Mrs. Craig: "I would have liked to write you much sooner. War department regulations require us to wait 20 days. You know by this time that Ted is missing in action. We all expect him back soon and look for him every day. He was leading a P-38 flight on a cover mission and got lost in extremely bad weather. His wingman last heard him on the radio fairly close to friendly territory. Ted was out looking for his wing down. The only remaining one for his absence would be mechanical trouble or the that he sacrificed too much looking for his other pilot." "Because of his proximity friendly islands and a long ferry coast, I believe him to be The jungle here is thick and munications are slow. I'm sure will come back, but I fear it take time. We have had gone for six months and retired by friendly patrols. We all this for a fact and therefore reasonably sure Ted is safe."

Ted was out looking for his wing man who couldn't follow him in the weather. I guess Ted figured the wingman, who was on his first mission, couldn't find his way home safely and left his course to look for him. He was right for the other boy crash-landed safely at an alternate airport. "I led several flights on this same mission through the same tropical front and always found Ted over the target and on time. I have no fear that he was lost or got into trouble because of the weather. He was the most dependable of all the P-38 pilots. I flew with them all and liked him best to fly with. "Since enemy activity is nil in this area that he was last contacted, I know he wasn't shot quite a flight. The four of us tried most of all the combat sessions and did well I think will have quite a few stories tell when we get together here. "Ted was transferred out of flight to become an assistant flight commander in another city because of his better combat ord. He led his own flight and did well. His missions always complete in spite of and weather. I think the mostcessful flight of the squadron made by Ted and myself in Hansa bay. We got some good in on that mission. "I was missing the day Ted first reported missing but had good fortune to be able to out over a friendly convoy. Picked up after a short stay in sea. Ted helped me out of fix by calling for help when went down. He never did finish whether or not I was picked and went on his mission fear was lost at sea. Wished I have thanked him for saving life but will wait until he reto do so. "Ted has several decorations his credit. They have not been officially announced as yet. Take time to go through mi channels." "I shall write again, the time I hope to enclose my wife with one of Ted's. We will give up hoping and praying his return." Services Held For Robert W.

Early Resident Of Anaheim Passes Away Thomas Crawford, an early day resident of Anaheim, passed away at his home in Los Angeles last Saturday. Many of the pioneer residents of this city will be saddened to learn of his passing. In the early days of the citrus industry, the growers and packers decided that a by-product of the orange industry should be attempted and as a result of this decision, a marmalade cannery was established here with Mr. Crawford as manager. After several years he became editor of the Anaheim Daily Herald, now known as the Anaheim Bulletin. Since leaving Anaheim, he had become associated with a paper in another part of the state and during the later years of his life had made his home in Los Angeles. Private funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at Forest Lawn Memorial Park. His survivors are his wife, Mrs. Thos. Crawford of the home; four sons, George, Hugh, Don and Max; two daughters, Ruth and UNCLE SAM ASKS YOU TO SHOP FOR THESE PLENTIFUL FOODS Put these "No Point, Low Point" Foods at the head of every shopping list.

COLLINS Attorney-at-Law Law offices, Chapman Bldg. Fullerton, Phone 568 Eleven Percent of Orange County Land Federally Owned and Non-Taxable Passage of proposition No. 1 on the May 16 ballot, which would take out of the California constitution the three words that prohibit the state taxing property belonging to the United States government, is recommended by the board of directors of California Taxpayers' association, the association announced today. It is estimated that in excess of $6,500,000 of presently prohibited revenues would be received by the local governments through passage of the amendment. In Orange county, 56,923 acres of land, 11 per cent of the 500,480 acres of area in the county, with an assessed value of $1,537,225 were owned by the federal government as of September 1, 1943, the association stated. In Alpin county, 90 per cent of the area of the county is owned by the federal government. Other counties where more than 40 per cent of the county area is federally-owned include: Inyo, 86 per cent; Trinity, 76 per cent; San Bernardino, 72 per cent; Tuolumne, 72 per cent; Plumas, 69 per cent; Del Norte, 67 per cent; Mono, 65 per cent; Modoc, 61 per cent; Lassen, 58 per cent; Siskiyou, 58 per cent; Sierra, 56 per cent; Tulare, 50 per cent; Fresno, 49 per cent; Ventura, 48 per cent; Santa Barbara, 47 per cent; Mariiposa and Riverside, 45 per cent; Lake, 42 per cent; El Dorado, 41 per cent. Over the state as a whole, it is estimated that 43 per cent of the area, with an assessed value of $320,000,000, is federally owned. In addition, the federal government owns personal property with an estimated value in excess of $1,500,000,000. "The federal government already permits the states to tax certain federal property and removal of the three words would merely take from the California Constitution the present prohibition of the taxation of any federal property, even where federal law permits such taxation," the association stated.
