Lauretta Dress Shop 116 West Center Street Anaheim 3907 State Department To Ask Course In Driver Education Every high school in Orange County will be asked to add a course in Driver Education to its curriculum for the school year 1944-45 and thereafter according to announcement today by Captain Meighan of the California Highway Patrol. Captain Meighan said he is arranging conferences with every high school principal and board of trustees as a part of a statewide program sponsored jointly by the Departments of Motor Vehicles and Education at the request of the Office of the Quartermaster-General. The immediate purpose of the program was described by Captain Meighan as the classroom training of youths about to enter the armed services in the operation and maintenance of military vehicles and relief of the ever increasing shortage of civilian drivers engaged in essential war work. "But while the program is a definite part of our war effort it has far greater implications in the post-war period," Captain Meighan explained. "It contemplates nothing less than the training of every high school boy and girl approaching legal driver age in the fundamentals of safe driving and the social attitudes so necessary for the safe driver." Captain Meighan estimated the cost of putting in the course for the average high school will be under $100, exclusive of the time of the teacher. The American Legion, Congress of Parents and Teachers, safety councils and automobile clubs are cooperating in the program. BURGLAR BREAKS INTO HOUSE NEAR ANAHEIM The home of W. P.

Meeting Anaheim Rotarians enjoyed a very interesting and humorous talk by Capt. J. W. Limeric.

Warships." In opening his talk the speaker said he enjoyed his contacts with the personnel at the Santa Ana Base. He said most of the cadets at the base are quite young, ranging from 18 to 24 years of age and that they are "the cream of the crop." The officers at the base have a dual obligation to the cadets. First, they must teach them how to be flyers or navigators and second, they must teach them to be good officers. Most of the cadets are handicapped in becoming officers because they are so young and inexperienced. These handicaps must be overcome. The speaker stated that he worked as an engineer installing ice plants for making ice cream on U. S. Warships from 1932-1938. He had also worked on warships of many foreign nations including Japan. He said the Japanese warships were very modern and complete but lacked sufficient equip- Orangethorpe Graduation To Next Wednesday The Orangethorpe exercises will be held on day evening, May 31, at school auditorium.

Virus Diseases Of Potatoes Explained By Farm Advisor Virus diseases are now showing up in potatoes in many home gardens. Diseased plants are indicated by rough crinkled leaves, yellowish-green mottling of the leaves, dwarfing of the plant or by combinations of these symptoms. Since the tubes from infected plants seldom reach normal size, yields are materially reduced. No treatment will cure plants which have been infected and there is no advantage in removing diseased plants from the garden, said W. M. Cory, Assistant Farm Advisor. These diseases are transmitted by the seed tubes; therefore, control is secured by planting disease free seeds. Late Blight may be guarded against by spraying with Bordeaux or a copper lime dust. It is characterized by the appearance of black or brown spots on the leaves. These spots may increase rapidly in size until the entire leaf is involved. If you own a business in Anaheim you can't afford not to advertise in The Gazette. Mother of Local Businesswoman Passes Away Mrs. Florence E. Hall of Mrs. E. S.
