California Law Members Give Free Advice to More Than 55,000 in Past Year Members of the State Bar of California have given free legal advice to more than 55,000 inductees, fighting men, and members of their families in the past year under the provisions of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act. As more fighting men go to battlefronts throughout the world the State Bar report, issued today, says: "More and more cases come from men far from home who are worried about the business and legal affairs of their dependents." Letters requesting this free service of California lawyers have come from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Arctic, the South and Central Pacific. Some cases have originated in prison camps in Germany and Japan. The State Bar War Work survey, recently made to find out ways of expanding the war service of lawyers in California, represents the minimum number of cases handled, and does not include the free work of several thousand other lawyers "who have not yet replied to the questionnaire." The State Bar free panel for men and women in the armed services and their dependents at home is available in practically every California community, and is administered through a state-wide "network of local war work committees established three years ago for this purpose." The free service of the California Bar "extends to all cases coming within the broad provisions of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act which usually arise by reason of a person's military service." Cases falling outside the provisions of the Act, of course, are handled on the "usual civilian basis." Most of the cases now handled by California lawyers involving the protection of rights under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act, come from the "wives, mothers or other dependents" of BORN TUESDAY and Mrs. Robert Haggard of East Sycamore Street, Analoma are the parents of a son on Tuesday, July 11, at St. hospital.

The State Bar free panel for Congressional Champions of Brand Names Evidence that the preservation of our system of brand names and the marks transcends political party lines is found in the cooperation of (above left) Charles E. Halleck (R. Ind.) and (right) H. Boren (D. Okla.). The Boren-Halleck subcommittee of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce has vigorously stated all efforts to initiate a system of standardized grading in lieu brand names and trade marks. Representative Boren checks with representative Halleck that "the campaign to destroy the benefits of system of brand names and trade marks is a threat to the quality everything we eat, everything we wear and everything going into home. Under this system has come mass production and largee employment. Under it manufacturers produce with pride, stores with satisfaction, and consumers buy with confidence." Anaheim Hero of 2 World Wars Home From Sicily To Visit Mother and Friends This war has produced many heroes, and, no doubt, Anaheim can claim as many of them as any city of this size, but there are not many places that can claim a two-war hero that will measure up to one of Anaheim's soldier boys, when it comes to drowright bullet fighting. The subject of this narrative would probably not "O.K" this story but he is leaving today for Camp White, Oregon, for reassignment for further duty, so he hasn't a chance to censor some of the things his friends have to say about him. His name is Johnny Martin, Sergeant Johnny Martin in the army, but just plain Johnny Martin in Anaheim where he has lived since 1907, except for the time he served in World War No. 1 and World War No. 2. Some of the older residents will remember when Johnny took off to fight in the first World War, and they will remember that he came home, finally, after overseas combat service, wearing the Distinguished Service Cross, awarded by the United States; the Cross of War, awarded by the Italian government, and the D.C.M. Medal, awarded by the government of England, not to mention ordinary service stripes. That was in the first World War. When his country became involved in the present conflict, Johnny Martin, although well over-age, didn't wait for a second call. Knowing what he was letting himself in for he volunteered his services to the United States Army. Transport. The Sicilian population, known as the toughest people on earth, were dominated by the Italian government and fought the invading army of the United States, although they resented the domination of Italy and even now they hate all intruders and want to be left alone to live on their own island in their own way, according to Sgt. Martin. Many American soldiers have been killed by the civilians of Sicily since the island was occupied and they have no scruples about killing a "foreigner" and taking all of his belongings, even to the clothing he wears, according to Sgt. Martin, who has himself been the target for some of their bullets, which fortunately for him, went wild. Sgt. Martin speaks Italian and German fluently, but he learned to know that the language they understand best is the iron fist of a Yankee soldier. During his present furlough Sgt. Martin spent 19 days with his wife who is now at LaCrosse, Wisc., before coming home to Anaheim to visit his mother, Mrs. Ana Martin of 1016 East Broadway. Covered with about all the decorations the two World Wars have to offer, and having faced enemy lead from land, sea and air in all the conceivable fashions, Sgt. Martin now hopes the conflict will soon be over and that he may return to Anaheim to enjoy a normal life among friends, and that possibly he may resume his former occupation as a member of the Anaheim postoffice force. His postmaster, Louis H. Hoskins, hopes so too. E. Rogers showed motion picture of recent action in both the U.S. Pacific and Rome, showing real war scenes of the U.S. and forces. He was introduced program Chairman Hal Eaton. Next Tuesday's meetings will be at the Elks club. Public Advised Handling Navy Carrier Pigeons Instructions to the public on loading of Navy carrier pigeons issued today by officials at U.S. Naval Air Station, Santa Ana where the Navy's winged birds are stationed. A Navy bird comes to rest at home and is uninjured, the war is advised to feed it a full of grain or similar food, yet it go. The bird is injured the find should telephone the U.S. Naval Air Station, Santa Ana, for instructions. The past few days, Navy officials said, there have been sevien instances of Navy pigeons being at civilian homes, partly in the Alhamba and nearby Park region. In these cases, the finders used with local naval officials received the proper instruction by navy officials explained that pigeons are used in the Navy's war-than-air service in themittal of communications. MAR ANDREW JONES and Mrs. Carl Franklin of Junction 14, Fullerton, the parents of a son, Oscar New, born Monday, July 10, Anaheim Lutheran hospital. When his country became involved in the present conflict, Johnny Martin, although well over-age, didn't wait for a second call. Knowing well what he was letting himself in for he volunteered his services to the United States Army. A perfect specimen of manhood, although too old for the draft, Uncle Sam was glad to accept him and he re-joined the armed forces on April 27, 1942, the same day a cyclone leveled the business district of Pryor, Oklahoma, where this reporter experienced a few minutes of what Sgt. Johnny Martin has gone through many, many times at the hands of a human enemy. After months of training for a war, which he says is much faster than the 1917-18 escapade, he went overseas early in 1943 to engage in this nation's first invasion activities. Stationed in the Mediterranean area with the First Infantry Division, he was assigned to the invasion of Sicily, which, incidentally, was the first successful thrust of U.S. Forces toward the European continent. History records that Sicily was taken by the United States soldiers, and it so happens that the First Infantry Division was cited for extraordinary valor by President Roosevelt, and Sgt. Martin wears a Blue Star as evidence that he participated in this action. Incidentally, the Blue Star is not a star, but rather is a blue bar that was made by the Sicilian women (at so much per bar, American money) by order of the commanding officer. Following the invasion and capture of the Island of Sicily, Sgt. Martin remained there with the army of occupation until he returned home in June on an ocean way. Covered with about all the decorations the two World Wars have to offer, and having faced enemy lead from land, sea and air in all the conceivable fashions, Sgt. Martin now hopes the conflict will soon be over and that he may return to Anaheim to enjoy a normal life among friends, and that possibly he may resume his former occupation as a member of the Anaheim postoffice force. His postmaster, Louis H. Hoskins, hopes so too. Lt. Richard Efker Is Awarded DFC And Other Medals Lt. Richard J. Efker, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Herman J. Efker of this city, has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal and three Oak Leaf Clusters for valiant service in the South Pacific theater of war where he has been based for the past ten months and currently in the Marshall Islands. He is a navigator on a B-24 bomber of the Seventh Army Air Force. Lt. Efker's wife, the former Charlotte Schooley, is now living with her mother in Santa Ana with her small son who was born since his father left for foreign service. His latest address is: Lt. Richard J. Efker, 392 Bomb, Sq., Seventh Army Air Force, APO 241, c/o Postmaster, San Francisco, Calif. POMONA VISITOR M. L. Proctor of Pomona arrived Monday for a two weeks visit at the home of his son, Jake Proctor, 271 East Center street. ANNOUNCE BIRTH OF SON Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Huffman of Garden Grove, are the parents of a son born at the Santa Ana Community hospital on Sunday, July 10. What about travel conditions?

Travel conditions are different than they were in pre-war days. Let's look at the facts: Throughout the land, tens of thousands of men and women of our armed forces are now traveling across the country by rail. The families of our fighting troops are taking trips to "see the boys" before they shove off for overseas. Executives and war workers of essential industries are traveling between various plants on important missions. It all adds up to this: More passengers than ever before are crowding the Santa Fe trains. We are required to handle this unprecedented volume of passenger traffic with practically the same equipment we had in 1941. Building new passenger equipment has not been permitted since Pearl Harbor. Our government has issued instructions to the railroads under Interstate Commerce Commission Service Order No. 213, effective 12:01 am June 27, to displace or remove any passenger in any accommodation upon any train, in order to provide necessary space for sick or wounded service personnel, and their attendants, transported pursuant to a medical certificate. We hope there will be little of this. We of the Santa Fe will do our best to carry all the passengers we can, as quickly and comfortably as we can, but we ask this before you plan a trip this summer: Unless your trip is essential, can't you put it off until we have a little better opportunity to carry you in the traditional Santa Fe manner?
