Ross Lee Laird, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce who is working with city officials to give Anaheim residents a big program of wholesome entertainment, stated today that "the stage is all set." Starting at 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon 20 circus acts, including clowns, bands and thrill acts will entertain the crowds at La In a few days the campaigning for the November election will get under way. Candidates throughout the states will make speeches, if they can get a crowd, and the people are going to be listening for something new and constructive. Some of the old phrases used by the professional speech makers are not going to click this time. They used to say, "Two cars in every garage," "A chicken in every pot," "A farm for every farmer," "The grass will grow in the streets if I am not elected," etc. That kind of campaigning won't get the job done this year. The people are not so dumb, they want to hear something that makes sense. (NOTE: the following paragraph is an example of the reporter writing a story about a meeting he didn't attend. It was written on Monday and on Tuesday Governor Warren threw me a curve by refusing to accept the nomination for vice-president; otherwise it would have been a good story. You can form your own opinion about the man who will run in his place. We can't afford to throw type away after it has already been set—J. P.). Now that the Republican convention has nominated Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York for president and Governor Earl Warren of California for vice-president, the situation seems to be up to the people. There is no doubt but that these two men are among the nation's leaders, regardless of party politics. They are capable, honest and sincere and both have made good in jobs second only to those they have been chosen for by the Republican party. Representing the extreme east and the extreme west their mutual cooperation and interests should bridge the intervening territory in a manner that would eliminate sectional strife among the people. They represent the majority party and the question is now squarely up to the country. It may be taken for granted that President Roosevelt will be the Democrat's nominee for re-election for a fourth term. His running mate will be Wallace, or Willkie, or somebody else. The campaign will soon open and in four short months from now the people will render their verdict. The only way the Democrats can be returned to power is to draw world. The War Department has taken the island over for the duration and the title, which goes back to the Spanish grant era, is complicated, but that could be straightened out with enough money. San Clemente Island is an equal distance from San Diego and Long Beach, approximately 60 miles, and slightly farther out than Catalina. You can imagine airplanes and boats plying from both directions to the enchanting spot that could be made of San Clemente. Wm. Wrigley spent many millions to develop Catalina, but when the war is over it will take more than one such off-shore resort to accommodate the tourists and visitors. Somebody had better pinch me and wake me up before I go too far with this thing! Charles Davis, C. E., D. Eng., of Bass River, Mass., who is advocating the drafting of Wendell Willkie for vice-president on the Democratic ticket, says in his latest press release: "If World Government is not established before this war is over the world will be headed toward a third World War on the soil of the U. S. A." Do you suppose he could be right? About eight years ago, on August 10, 1936, to be exact, I went over to Will Rogers' home town, Claremore, Oklahoma, to be the guest speaker at a meeting of the Rotary club. Most Rotary clubs like to hear soothing talks about this and that with reassurances that everything is all right, that conditions are gradually adjusting themselves back toward normalcy and good interest rates. So I decided that what the Claremore Rotary club needed was a right good shocking, and I let them have it. I told them about the changing conditions, political and otherwise, that were taking place at that time. About the revolution we were undergoing; that they would eventually see a four or five-hour working day; that pensions were here to stay and would get larger; that our government traditions were being overthrown by a form of modified dictatorship, now called bureaucacy; that the world was preparing for another war, while most of us were thinking in terms of money with organizations such as theirs too aloof from the world to take any active interest in the political and economic environment. Starting at 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon 20 circus acts, including clowns, bands and thrill acts will entertain the crowds at La Palma park. The circus is all free to the public being brought here at the expense of the city to provide entertainment at home, since gasoline and tire shortages will make it impossible for many to take the usual Fourth of July trips. In the evening, another free show of big-time vaudeville acts will be put on at the Greek theatre at the City park, rounding out Local Resident Safe In Air Crash Capt. Paul T. Haven of 327 South Indiana street, Anaheim, and who is an intelligence officer for a scout bomber squadron based at El Toro, was a passenger in the plane piloted by Lt. Albert B Hawkins of 1220 Temple Terrace, Laguna Beach, that crashed into Laguna Hills five miles west of El Toro Marine base at 10:35 a.m. last Thursday. The pilot and his passgner were in a dive bomber and both parachuted to safety. They were on a routine flight to North Island when the crash occurred. WILL VACATION AT BIG BEAR LAKE FOR WEEK Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Hilgenfeld and small daughter of 1025 West Broadway, plan to leave Monday morning for Big Bear Lake where they will spend a week's vacation. Later Mrs. Hilgenfeld and her sister from Los Angeles will return to that popular resort where they will remain a month. Post-War Aviation Meeting of Supervi At a meeting of county supervisors and county civic leaders held during the week at White's Coffee Shop, Balboa Island, it was proposed that an "aviation the people. They represent the majority party and the question is now squarely up to the country. It may be taken for granted that President Roosevelt will be the Democrat's nominee for reelection for a fourth term. His running mate will be Wallace, or Willkie, or somebody else. The campaign will soon open and in four short months from now the people will render their verdict. The only way the Democrats can be returned to power is to draw a certain percent of the Republican vote. Naturally the Republicans will get some Democratic votes, so if their own party members hang together they are bound to win. Everybody knows what the present trend is and the coming election will give everybody a chance to make a change, if that is what they want. This may be the most important election this country ever had. Every voter will share the responsibility for whatever happens. It will be interesting to watch the campaign as it progresses, and to note the results. When the war is over a new era of opportunities to do things will open up that will even surprise the dreamers of today. A few years ago we were seized with a reactionary complex and you heard people say, "there are no more frontiers, no more opportunities." That was a challenge that could have prevented this war, but when we quit trying perhaps a war became the inevitable. If it took a war to wake us up, at least we have awakened. I hope. If your vision is good enough now would be a good time to plan to do something bigger and better when the war ends. If I had enough money, or the ability to organize big money, I would start now on a plan to develop San Clemente Island as the greatest resort and vacation spot in the At a meeting of county supervisors and county civic leaders held during the week at White's Coffee Shop, Balboa Island, it was proposed that an "aviation commission" be appointed by the supervisors. This commission would make a thorough study of the post-war possibilities of aviation as far as Orange county is concerned, including the location and number of airports that should feasibly be located in the county. Present at the meeting were Supervisors Willis Warner, J. A. Baker, Irvin George Gordon, and Willard Smith; Capt. Sam Maxey, A. B. Rousselle, Fred Rowland, Santa Ana; Ross Lee Laird, Anaheim; Hubbard Howe, Newport Beach; V. D. Johnson, Orange; Harry Hansen, Santa Ana; D. A. Patch, Sunset Beach; Dale Deckert, Santa Ana; Braden Finch, Newport Beach; Bill Harmuth, Fullerton; Wm. Gallienne, Huntington Beach; Harry Welch and Chas. Peyton of Newport Beach. Chas. Peyton, by reason of his experience in the aviation business, led the discussions and outlined to those present some of the post-war possibilities of this industry. While it is not expected that any definite plans can be put into effect until the war is over, it is believed that now is the time to study the situation and formulate plans which might be carried out when the time is right. The proposed aviation commission, after their study and surveys were made, would be the county's contact with industrialists and "In The Heart of the Valencia Orange District" ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1944 Day of Free Entertainment Planned Home Town Folks Fourth of July a day of fine entertainment provided by the city council. In addition to the free shows, the parks will be open to visitors and those who wish to use the picnic facilities at both parks. The swimming pool at the City park is now open and it is expected that it will have a big play during the day and evening, in spite of the free shows. Usual admission charges will prevail at the plunge. With activities limited on account of the war Anaheim residents may stay at home over the Fourth save their tires and gas. Another Grove Near Anaheim Sold Roy W. Solomon of Inglewood, purchased a 20 acre orange grove from the Ove Andreasen estate on Tuesday of last week for $46,000. This grove is located one-tenth mile east of East street, on the north side of Vermont Avenue south of Anaheim. There is a seven-room house, garage and a small caretaker's house on the property. Trees on the land range in age from 25 to 30 years. The late Mr. Andreasen died Nov. 19, 1943. No Anaheim resident can afford to be without The Gazette at the small cost of only $2.00 a year.

Lions Club Bond Sale Totals $101,000 New Type Securities Offered Public Sales of War Bonds last Friday when the Anaheim Lions club sponsored the sale, went over the top for a total of $101,000, the largest volume made to date by any sponsoring organization. A large number of small denomination bonds have been sold during the past week, evidence that the Third Army, representing the retail store clerks are working at the job of helping put Anaheim's quota over, before the deadline if possible. Lee Fabian, head of the Third Army forces, and General Chairman Paul H. Demaree, are hopeful the quota will be reached before the deadline, July 8, although to date the sale is lagging. With a quota of $1,400,000 before them Anaheim bond workers are determined to reach the highest goal ever attempted and efforts are being redoubled to avoid a possibility of Anaheim failing for the first time to oversubscribe a War Bond quota. Designed to meet the requirements of all types of investors, both corporations and individuals, four new Fifth War Loan securities were offered to the public for the first time Monday, June 26. Robert H. Moulton, chairman of the Treasury War Finance committee for Southern California, who made the announcement, said these new offerings, which start drawing interest immediately, will be withdrawn from the market after July 8, official closing date of the drive. However, he said, purchases of Series E, F and G Bonds and Series C savings notes will be counted toward this area's drive quota if bought any time during July. The four new offerings are: 7/8% U. S.

With activities limited on account of the war Anaheim residents may stay at home over the Fourth, save their tires and gas coupons, and enjoy a safe and sane 4th of July with plenty of free entertainment thrown in. Practically all stores and business places and all public offices will be closed all day Tuesday, but all stores except the furniture stores will remain open all day Monday in order that shoppers may lay in a supply of food and other commodities to last over the Fourth.

New C of C Board Organization Meet Following the election of ten members to the chamber of merce board of directors on T- day, June 27, an organiz- meeting of the new board will held Wednesday night, July 1 organize and appoint a pres- who will serve for the ens- year.

After the organization meet on July 12 committees will be War Aviation Study Proposal At Planning of Supervisors, Civic Leaders Meeting of county superintendent county civic leaders during the week at White's shop, Balboa Island, it posed that an "aviation plan" be appointed by the city. This commission took a thorough study of aviation possibilities as Orange county is including the location of airports that possibly be located in the area at the meeting were Mrs Willis Warner, J. A. Harvin George Gordon, Card Smith; Capt. Sam A. B. Rousselle, Fred Santa Ana; Ross Lee Haheim; Hubbard Howe, Beach; V. D. Johnson, Harry Hansen, Santa A. Patch, Sunset Beach; Kent, Santa Ana; Braden Newport Beach; Bill Harrilton; Wm. Gallienne, on Beach; Harry Welch, S. Peyton of Newport. Mrs. Peyton pointed out that it probably would not be feasible to maintain more than one large, fully equipped air port in the county, and that probably the county air port south of Santa Ana, now being used by the Army, would be the logical location for this main field. There are several reasons for this deduction, the matter of available land and the fact that this port is already established being among them. Additional landing fields would be located at various points in the county where storage and light repair shops would be maintained for the benefit of local airplane owners and travelers. While it is not expected that every family will own an airplane in the immediate future, it is reasonably presumed that they will be extensively used in business, especially among airmen returning from the services. It is to be prepared for any contingency that Orange county leaders see the need for starting now with a program of study and planning so that the expected rapid development of the airplane industry will not catch this county napping in the matter of service for the industry. The matter has been taken under advisement by the board of supervisors and now awaits their further action. Orange Grove Sold to Realty Corp., Close Estate A 53.55 acre orange grove located on East North Street, three miles east of Anaheim, was recently sold to the Northroad Realty Corp., of Beverly Hills for a purchase price of $160,151, according to a release from the county recorder's office Tuesday of last week. The sale of this parcel of land closes the estate of the late Louis Henning estate. Mr. Henning passed away May 14, 1936. Oscar W. Heying, re-elected the board, has acted as president for the past year. Holdover members who continue to serve on the board are Harry C. Arthur, Sr., J.A. Baker, Al DeWitt, Ernest Ganahl, Harry I. Horn, J.Kaulbars, Theo B. Kuchel, W.W. Phelps, Lotus Loudon and Sowder. After the organization meet on July 12 committees will be pointed and a work program lined for the coming year.

ZETTE The Citrus Industry's NEWSpaper JUNE 29, 1944 TEN PAGES NUMBER 40 TOP V-P NOMINATION Gov. John Bricker of Ohio to be Running Mate of Governor Thomas E. Dewey County Officials At Three-Day Meet In State Capitol Four members of the county's official family left Tuesday for Sacramento to attend a three-day meeting of the State Association of County Supervisors and the state meeting of County Engineers. Those in the party included Supervisors James A. Baker of Anaheim and Willard Smith of Orange; Highway Supt. A. A. Beard and County Counsel Joel. After refusing to allow his name to be entered in the primary elections as a candidate for president of the United States, California's popular and dynamic governor, Earl Warren, further refused to accept the Republican party's nomination for vice-president when it was handed to him Tuesday night on the proverbial "silver platter." Keynoter of the Chicago convention, Governor Warren easily demonstrated himself to be the "strong man" of the party and kept himself in that enviable position by not being a contender for any national political office. Totals $101,000; Offered Public other financial institutions about restrictions, the subscription would be tremendous," Clinton said. "They provide the collateral, the highest degree marketability of any securities in the world, and the public, as individuals and as institutions would learn to recognize the great value of these holdings for temporary reserve funds and for permanent investment." HAS NEW GRANDSON Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Dolphin, 49 South Lake Avenue, Pasadena, announce the birth of their son, Joseph Michael, on Friday, June 23, 1944. Mrs. Dolphin is the former Mary Ellen Chambers, daughter of Mrs. Ann Clambers of the Anaheim Lutheran hospital. New C of C Board of Directors To Hold Organization Meeting Wednesday, 12th Following the election of ten new members to the chamber of commissioners board of directors on Tuesday, June 27, an organization holding of the new board will be held Wednesday night, July 12, to size and appoint a president who will serve for the ensuing ten new and re-elected members on the board include Jack Belmont, Everett Cone, Demaree, O.

Those in the party included Supervisors James A. Baker of Anaheim and Willard Smith of Orange; Highway Supt. A. A. Beard, and County Counsel Joel Ogle. Other members of the board of supervisors remained here in order to hold an official meeting Tuesday at which time they were to approve the payroll for 4,000 county welfare clients so they would get their checks on time. Keynoter of the Chicago convention, Governor Warren easily demonstrated himself to be the "strong man" of the party and kept himself in that enviable position by not being a contender for any national political office. As far as his friends know his present political ambition is to return to his beloved California and finish a successful term as this state's governor. It is reasonable to assume that he will be a candidate for re-election at the end of his first term, however, the governor has made no mention of a desire to succeed himself. Easily the popular choice of the G. O. P. convention and reportedly the choice of the presidential nominee, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York as his running mate, Governor Warren towered as the most powerful delegate at the historic convention. His keynote address on Monday night received the plaudits of party leaders, editorial writers and news commentators alike. The Californian shares his honor with his state as this west coast empire basks in the realization that the head of its government is recognized as a national figure and a power in the nation's politics, regardless of party. Failing to gather any appreciable backing as presidential nominee, Governor John Bricker of Ohio accepted the party's nomination as vice-president, which he refused to consider until it was definitely known that Governor Dewey was to receive the presidential nomination on the first ballot. Governor Bricker comes from the cradle of presidents, the great state of Ohio, always a Republican stronghold and noted for its famous men. He has a background of success in politics and business that places him in a position second only to Governor Warren as the party's vice-commander, in the case of a Republican victory this fall. The party platform unanimously adopted by the convention is rated by observers and party members as the greatest declaration in the history of the Republican party. It stresses the re-establishment of 1ST LT. JOHN ROBERT FLUOR for service with the U. S. Army Seventh Air Force, according to an announcement issued by the War Department on Monday. Lt. Fluor has been in the Army for two and a half years, receiving his second lieutenant's commission at Roswell, N. M., in July, 1942. He served as a bomber pilot in the Central Pacific theater for twenty-one months before being sent back to the states where he is now stationed at Mather Field, Sacramento, as a B-25 instructor. He was awarded the Air Medal in March, "somewhere in the Pacific" for extraordinary bravery and valor in action against the Japs in attacks over the Marshall Islands and has since received two Oak Leaf Clusters. "Bob," as he is known by his many friends in Anaheim, is a graduate of the Anaheim Union highschool and was a chemical engineer student at the University of Southern California when he enlisted shortly after the Jap sneak attack on Hawaii. He was married to Miss Lillian Breaux of Santa Ana on May 17, 1944, at St. Boniface church in this city. Mrs. Fluor is in Sacramento with him where they are making their home while he is stationed there. The party platform unanimously adopted by the convention is rated by observers and party members as the greatest declaration in the history of the Republican party. It stresses the re-establishment of liberty at home, stable employment through private enterprise, winning the war and winning the peace, elimination of bureaucracy, freedom of the press and radio, and touches upon labor, agriculture, industry, domestic and foreign policies, etc., and concludes with the following: "The essential question at trial in this nation is whether men can organize together in a highly industrialized society, succeed, and still be free. That is the essential question at trial throughout the world today. In this time of confusion and strife, when moral values are being crushed on every side, we pledge ourselves to uphold with all our strength the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the law of the land. We so pledge ourselves that the American tradition may stand forever as the beacon light of civilization." Gets Higher Rank While on Furlough It's Corporal Ted Sheridan now! Ted, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo J. Sheridan of 402 North Lemon street, is here on a two weeks furlough from his duties at Camp Polk, La., and on Monday of this week he was informed that he had received the rank of Corporal, Technician Fifth Grade. At the conclusion of his furlough he will report back to Camp Polk for further duty.
