The 5th War Loan is the biggest, the most vitally important financial effort of this whole War! GET READY TO BUY THE BOND YOU CAN'T AFFORD Back the Attack! - BUY MORE THAN BEFORE HARRY I. HORN 1201 NORTH PALM, ANAHEIM This is an official U.S. Treasury advertisement—prepared under auspices of Treasury Department and War Advertising Council. Dear Jim: Sorry this letter is late, but I'm up to my ears in the 5th War Loan Drive. As head of the trons committee, I'm busy almost every waking moment selling bonds. This is, by all odds, the most critical period of the war. Everything is at stake—everything. (As if I needed to tell you that.) Our quota calls for two billion dollars more in this loan than the last—everyone got to buy two or three times more than he's Sorry this letter is late, but I'm up to my ears in the 5th War Loan Drive. As head of the trons committee, I'm busy almost every waking moment selling bonds. This is, by all odds, the most critical period of the war. Everything is at stake—everything. (As if I needed to tell you that.) Our quota calls for two billion dollars more in this loan than the last—everyone got to buy two or three times more than he's ever bought before—if things are to go as we solemnly pray they should. Thank God most of the people I talk to seem to realize the critical need. They do without things they actually need in order to plunk down another hundred or two. I guess they feel as I do. With a man you love over there, the least you can do is your utmost. I want you to know, Jim, that the folks here at home are with you—and their money is fighting with you—every last dollar they can scrape up. Mother and I send love. Dad. V...MAIL Back the Attack!- BUY MORE THAN BEFORE MOTHER COLONY WINES 247 WEST CENTER STREET This is an official U.S. Treasury advertisement—prepared under auspices of Treasury Department and War Advertising Council WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS When I came to Congress I decided the wisest policy would be to say as little as possible; make few speeches; learn all I could. Last week I broke down and accepted an invitation to appear on the "American Forum of the Air" and talk about the renewal of the Price Control Act. The temptation was too great; that's the act under which the OPA operates. The date was the 6th. Do you recall what happened on the 6th? Invasion! No broadcast. I rise to remark that I'm still sorry not to have been able to ask some questions of the Congressmen on the other side. The Emergency Price Control Act was set up by the Congress to stand between the citizens of the United States and inflation. Whether or not it has done so, and whether or not it has done a satisfactory job, is what we were to discuss that evening. The people must understand that all of the argument about subsidies and all of the statements that subsidies stand between us and inflation, are not only incorrect, but often deliberately incorrect. If we understand that, then we can talk intelligently about the Act which really does work against inflation, and which Congress will within the next few days extend and improve. The Price Control Act was approved January 30, 1942. This is its renewal. I have been making laws for sometime, although I have only been helping make them in Congress for less than two years. I would ask my more experienced friends whether they have seen a perfect law? If laws are not perfect when they are written, is it not right to believe that amendments may be made to this law, as to others, to improve it? No part of price control has operated more unequally than rent control. We have areas where rents have been depressed prior to the war and these depressed rentals frozen. We have houses of equal value, where one rents for $125.00 a month, and the house next door rents for $25.00 a month. That is not equality of anti-inflational measures. There are two sides to renting houses. One is the side of the renter who wants the property at a fair, and not an inflationary rent. The other is the side of the property whose entire income may be from rentals, and he or she not be permitted by OPA regulations to get enough out of properties to pay the increased costs of taking care of them. I have held the price control now set up is entirely too low for its own good, that it under its weight. The growth in the black market in the United States is evidence of imperfection in the system. I believe that press the sentiment of Congress when I say that it is the fact that price control should be renewed, that the Price Control should be written into bill, and that while price controls may not be doing the good that the people think it is, no less it is our present against the danger of inflation as such we cannot afford to it up. GAS TAX ASSESSMENT IN DOWNWARD TREND SACRAMENTO — George Reilly, member of the state board of equalization, today announced completion of California gas tax assessments for April amending to $4,025,417 in contrast $3,871,866 for the same month year ago. This is the smallest gain reported for any month of 1944 in corresponding tax for HELL DIVING' ..LENDING IS WITH guns blazing and a prayer in his stout heart, this American fighter is hell-bent on destruction of our enemies. HE is not thinking of how little or how much he’s doing to help win the war. For him, the chips are down; but his fighting spirit is as high as the heavens from which his plane is diving. In cramped foxholes and disease-infested jungles, on sun-scorched beachheads—under and over the seven seas—other Americans are matching his courage. And their name is legion. They KNOW that war is a bloody business; that as well as yours, are at stake. Is it asking too much of you these men up by buying more, War Bonds? There can answer. You’ll find it in your And remember, too, as you than ever before into your poor cash surplus, that the Fifth MUST raise 16 billion dollars greatest financing drive the world known...to back up the great drive the world has ever known Back the Attack! - BUY MORE THAN BEER W.

INFORMATION ON FOOD CANNING As the canning season is coming into full swing again, our thoughts must turn toward the problem of preserving sufficient seasonal food for use when it is not available. It is time to have the gauges on the pressure cookers tested ready for the vegetable and meat canning of this year. The Gas Company of Anaheim will test your gauges free of cost if you will just take the lid of your cooker to them. The State Agriculture Dept. gives this warning,—“Clean your safety valve, petcock and the opening into your gauge according to the proper method, before using your cooker.” The City-wide exhibit of canned vegetables, fruits and meats will again be held in the Ebell club house on the 14th of July. We will have to start canning and dehydrating as soon as possible in order to have our entries ready by that time. Lovely awards are planned so we hope to have a larger display than last year. MRS. L. N. WISSER. Read, use Gazette Want ads. On board ship and in the artillery their buddies call them “powder monkeys.” Not disrespectful, just a personal, intimate term between friends. Civilians call them gun crews. During a battle the crews of “powder monkeys” must work like trojans bringing the ammunition to the guns. The gun may fire an anti aircraft .50 calibre shell or a broadside from the 16 inch guns of a great battle-ship, but in either event the “powder monkey” must pass millions of dollars’ worth of ammunition to make the gun effective, and your savings in War Bonds are necessary to supply the financial ammunition that provides the shells.
