THROWBACK TO BARBARISM In the magazine Life, dated March 13, 1944, there appears a tale in pictures of acts as shocking as we might expect from Japanese barbarians. The pictures show 600 men, women and children of Holmes County, Ohio, indulging in the "sport" of a fox roundup, the conclusion of which is the beating to death of the exhausted animals. One picture reveals an 11-year-old child in the act of bringing a club down on the head of a prostrate fox. He is being urged on in his merciless behavior by a grown man wearing the badge of a police officer. Another picture shows a crowd of men and women standing in a circle watching a four-year-old child belabor a dying fox with a stick. The sadistic expressions on their faces are not pleasant to look upon. Some are taking pictures of the spectacle. It is unbelievable that such an incident could happen in a community that professes to represent a Christian civilization. Yet, as Life observes: "This is a true story. This happens in Holmes County every weekend. . . The men of Holmes County consider it sport. . . Although hunts are Rotarians See Actual Warfare In Africa Picture Battle front scenes from the North Africa war area were shown in motion pictures at the Monday noon meeting of the Rotary club when Howard Bird of the Douglas Aircraft company showed the interesting film.

A large delegation of the Anaheim Rotarians were absent from the meeting, being in attendance at the district conference of Rotary clubs held in Los Angeles on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Rotarian Earl Silzle, who has returned from an extended business trip to Florida, was welcomed back at the Monday meeting.

Greyhound Bus Takes Active Part In Recruiting Drive Mobilizing the power of its newspaper advertising behind the Armed Forces, Pacific Greyhound Lines has run four advertisements in the past few months to stimulate recruiting. The first was for the Seabees, when that branch of the Navy was in urgent need of construction mechanics in the Pacific. This was followed in succession by large advertisements for the Waves, Women’s Reserve of the Marine Corps, and the Wacs. The latter advertisement appears in this issue of The Anaheim Gazette. Each advertisement was run in more than 500 western newspapers. Napoleon once said that an army travels on its stomach. "With all due respect to the maxim of the great strategist," says Vice President F. W. Ackerman of Pacific Greyhound Lines, "one has only to take a bus ride to gain the impression that the Army, as well as the Navy, Marine Corps and the uniformed women of all the military forces, travel on Greyhound busses!" Mr. Ackerman pointed out that most of the army camps, navy yards, and other military training centers are served by Greyhound, and many of them are not reached by other forms of public transportation. WFA RULES FOR EGG BUYING With lack of storage space blamed for much of the recent slump in egg prices, WFA is urging greater consumption of eggs by U.S. civilians and at the same time attempting to speed up its own purchases. Prices received by farmers have dipped to below 20 cents a dozen in some areas. Government buying is expected to be speeded up by (1) permitting the loading of three grades instead of one in a car, providing there are 100 cases of each grade; (2) accepting offers daily instead of weekly; and (3) permitting cars to be loaded with both fiber and wood cases. Egg production this year is the largest on record—exceeding pre-war levels by 80 percent. The current Greyhound ad in the day’s Gazette urges women to enlist in the Air Wac, a branch of the Women’s Army Corps.
