WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS The War Manpower Commission has now joined the group of government bureaus which, with unintentional humor, sets out to regulate the obvious to confuse the simple, and in the words of the colored minister, to "unscrew the inscrutable." I have before me several informative little booklets of the "Job Family Series." One is for people who want to know what occupations are related, in the manufacture of ammunition. Another one, which gives me the greatest enjoyment, lists "occupations related to selected professional, sales and service occupations." The one on ammunition manufacturing occupations is a nicely printed booklet, 8 x 10, with 48 pages and cover, listing occupations related to ammunition making. For example, the booklet says on page 4 that if you have been a "bench machinist" you could be a bench machinist in an ammunition plant, which must have taken some heavy thinking, but it also lists 63 other jobs the WMC considers related, including "watchmaker," which explains a lot to me, as I now suspect the man who fixed my watch in Washington was a "bench machinist." There's little in the book that a good personnel man doesn't know already, and it completely overlooks the fact that under present conditions all a personnel man does is to put his hand on an applicant for a job and see if he, or she, is still warm. The book S. R. Bassingwaite Dies Suddenly Sterling R. Bassingwaite, a native of Alabama and a resident of California for more than sixteen years, was found dead in his bedroom in Los Angeles Sunday afternoon. He was about his work on Saturday and was found by the landlady when she entered the room on Sunday. He had lived in Los Angeles for ten years but came to Anaheim very frequently to visit relatives. He was 54 years old. Surviving are his mother, Mrs. Ruby Bassingwaite, and a sister, Mrs. Clifford Elliott, both of Anaheim, and two brothers, Edward F., of North Dakota, and George J. Bassingwaite of Minnesota. Funeral services were conducted this afternoon (Thursday) from the Hilgenfeld chapel at 2 o'clock. The Rev. Thomas L. Burden, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church and a personal friend of the deceased, officiated and entombment was made in Melrose Abbey mausoleum. Anna K. Kroeger Buried Wednesday Mrs. Anna K. Kroeger passed away at her home at 313 East Center street last Sunday. She was 69 years old and a native of Stillwater, Minnesota. She had made her home in this city for seven years and was the manager of the Eighth Air Force Denot. Luna M. Bartlett, Well-known Citizen Passes Wed. Night Luna M. Bartlett, 80 years old, a native of New Hampshire, a resident of California for nearly forty years and residing in Anaheim for twenty-eight years, died Wednesday night at a local hospital after an extended illness. She was a member of the Calvary Baptist church of Anaheim. Mrs. Bartlett is survived by two sons, Charles W. Bartlett of Phoenix, Arizona, and William W.Bartlett of Anaheim; two daughters, Mrs. Guy E. Ankrum of Hemet and Miss Elizabeth E. Bartlett of Anaheim; three sisters, Mrs. Della Randall and Mrs. Bertie Wheeler, both of Massachusetts and Mrs. Grace Frazier of Los Angeles; one grandson, Donald Guy Ankrum and one great granddaughter, Mary Lidonna Ankrum. Funeral services will be conducted from the Hilgenfeld chapel at 2 o'clock this afternoon (Thursday). The Rev. Earl R. Berg, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, will officiate and entombment will be made in Melrose Abbey mausoleum. Jot Bushard Home From North Ireland Joe Bushard, well known in Anaheim, returned home last Sunday after being in North Ireland for the past two years where he was with the medical procurement department of Lockheed overseas division in the foreign plant there. He was stationed at the Eighth Air Force Denot. considers related, including "watchmaker," which explains a lot to me, as I now suspect the man who fixed my watch in Washington was a "bench machinist." There's little in the book that a good personnel man doesn't know already, and it completely overlooks the fact that under present conditions all a personnel man does is to put his hand on an applicant for a job and see if he, or she, is still warm: The book is just as necessary as a second tail on one of my Scottes, but it did allow the WMC to set up a new department called the "Division of Occupational Analysis and Manning Tables." All in all, 17,452 occupations have been listed under 29,744 job titles, with code numbers for all the jobs. The other booklet really gets down to cases. If for example you have been a tea-leaf reader up to now, or a palmist, (honest folks, I'm not making up one word of this) the WMC suggests that you could be a tag machine operator, or a sorter, or in one of 13 other jobs. If you've been a gambler, the WMC says you could be an "Information Clerk" which I personally think is appropriate, or one of 27 other occupations. If you were an actor, you've got great opportunities. You can even be a telephone operator. Shakespeare said, "There's good luck in odd numbers," and the WMC evidently thinks he meant wrong numbers. I can see the possibilities of a masseur as a baker's helper, to mix dough, which the WMC lists quite seriously. I am not so sure about a "rest room attendant" as a "sanitary man" in a dairy. I agree that a "custom tailor" might be able to run a sewing machine. There are apparently no openings for politicians, but I find that "writers" (which I hope includes columnists) can be "continuity writers,gov.service;editors,news;script writers;senariowriters;editorial writers;reporters;copy readers;teachers;abstractors;job analysts;censors;proof readers;or library assistants." I still can't figure that this took a great deal of brainwork to compile, but it did give somebody, or several somebodies, something to do in Washington. I rise to remark that the sentence I like best isn't in the booklets, but in the personal letter from Paul McNutt which came with them. It said, "This Job Family was intended to serve a special purpose and should Anna K. Kroeger Buried Wednesday Mrs. Anna K. Kroeger passed away at her home at 313 East Center street last Sunday. She was 69 years old and a native of Stillwater, Minnesota. She had made her home in this city for seven years and was the manager of the Kroeger Safeway Cleaners. Surviving are a daughter, Arlowine S. Kroeger of this city and one son, Henry H. Kroeger of St. Paul, Minn.; two granddaughters and one brother, Henry Hefty of Stillwater, Minn. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel with the Rev. L. E. Elfert, pastor of the Zion Lutheran church officiating. She was a member of the Zion Lutheran church and also of the ladies aid. Burial was in Fairhaven cemetery.

Wanted—Hundreds Of To Build More I still can't figure that this took a great deal of brainwork to compile, but it did give somebody, or several somebodies, something to do in Washington. I rise to remark that the sentence I like best isn't in the booklets, but in the personal letter from Paul McNutt which came with them. It said, "This Job Family was intended to serve a special purpose and should be used cautiously." Very cautiously, I'd say. Louise M. Helwig Passes Suddenly Death came suddenly to Mrs. Louise M. Helwig, 63, last Saturday at her home on Crone avenue, Anaheim. Working as a practical nurse in a home here, she suffered a stroke and died shortly after being removed to her home. She was a resident of Orange for eight years, until four months ago when she came to Anaheim. She was born in Berlin, Germany, March 14, 1881, and came to the United States when she was fifteen years old, living in eastern cities until she came to the west coast in 1931. She leaves two sons, Fred A. of Montebello, and John H. Wipfle of Los Angeles and three grandchildren. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the St. John's Lutheran church in Orange with the Rev. W. C. Gesch, pastor of the church, conducting the last rites. Burial was in the St. John's cemetery under the direction of Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary. She was a member of the St. John's Lutheran church and of the St. John's Ladies Aid. M.

AND MRS. L. E. MILLER CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY LAST TUESDAY AT SON'S HOME, BALBOA ISLAND Mr. and Mrs. Louis E. Miller of 118 West Broadway, quietly celebrated their golden wedding aniversary last Tuesday by remaining at home and receiving guests during the morning hours. In the afternoon they were guests of their son, Donald A. Miller, and Mrs. Miller of Balboa Island who entertained immediate relatives for dinner that evening. Many cards and lovely bouquets of flowers commemorating this special occasion were sent Mr. and Mrs. Miller throughout the day, expressing the esteem with which this couple is held in the entire community. The center of attraction for the anniversary dinner was a beautiful two-tiered gold and white wedding cake with all other decorations carried out in the same scheme. Those present to enjoy this delightful affair were Mr. and Mrs. Miller, the honorees, Mrs. E. M. Grimshaw and Miss Alice Grimshaw and the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Donald A. Miller. The day was spent very quietly due to the ill health of Mr. Miller, who in recent years, has undergone several major operations with the hope of restoring his failing eyesight. His many friends will be happy to know that he is able to have visitors again. Louis E. Miller and Miss Mary Kraemer were married on July 25, 1894, at the home of Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw, the bride's sister. The young couple was attended by Miss Eleanora Parker maid of host of friends and acquaintances and may their life together extend into the diamond celebration. Unable to attend the celebration was Edwin L. Miller, Jr., grandson of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Miller, who is in the Naval Reserve and is attending Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. He was recently at home on leave but was unable to stay over for this long a period of time. Dessert-Bridge In Home of Mrs. Howard Tews Wed. Mrs. Howard A. Tews and Mrs. Carl Lemke entertained a number of friends for dessert-bridge in the home of Mrs. Tews at 700 North Helena last Wednesday afternoon. Lovely pastel shades were used throughout the rooms and on the small tables for attractive decorations. The dessert tables were quite unusual in their decorations, small, old fashioned cups and saucers were lovely, filled with an attractive arrangement of small flowers. Table covers, tallies, score pads and gift wrappings used the theme of decoration. Guests present for this enjoyable affair were Mesdames: L. S. Keith, Joe Wilmore, F. E. Birtch, Cortez Hoskins, Arthur Eliott, Richard Heffron of Altadena, William McCarthy, Kenneth Walker, Ronald Brandon, Carroll Cone of Fullerton, A. A. Newland, Marion Fort, C. B.

Gauer at her home at 212 North Helena Wednesday afternoon for a luncheon in the patio. During the afternoon the members worked on articles for a rummage sale to be held in the early fall. The money raised in this way is to be used to assist in P. E. O. war work. The P. E. O. Sisterhood have already purchased six "club-mobiles" and have donated them to the Red Cross. They have also paid for the maintenance on these for one year, which are used to serve food to the boys in the front lines and to distribute magazines to them. Guests present were Mrs. Katherine Adams, Mrs. Harriett Ames, Mrs. Minnie Bennett, Dr. Harriet Bigham, Mrs. Celia Bonney, Mrs. Janet Davidson, Mrs. Edith Edmiston, Mrs. Laura Hargus, Mrs. Gertrude Jackson, Mrs. Dorothy Jordt, Mrs. Helen Kaulbars, Mrs. Gene Kuchel, Mrs. Franc Koch, Mrs. Ann Lumsdon, Mrs. Hanna Manter, Miss Winnie Melrose, Mrs. Diana Newkirk, Mrs. Sally Boege, Mrs. Myrtle Peterson, Mrs. Hazel Powell, Mrs. Edythe Skewis, Mrs. Janey Vander Veer of Los Angeles, Mrs. Mabel Vincent, Miss Bella Walker, Mrs. Minnie Ward of Fullerton, Mrs. Gladys Woodward and Mrs. Charlotte Young.

His many friends will be happy to know that he is able to have visitors again. Louis E. Miller and Miss Mary Kraemer were married on July 25, 1894, at the home of Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw, the bride's sister. The young couple was attended by Miss Eleanora Parker, maid of honor, and Miss Floy K. Roberts as bridesmaid. Serving the groom were Mr. Willard Miller and Mr. Bert Boyd. The Rev. J. Beaizley performed the ceremony. Mr. Miller, formerly a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, was a resident of Anaheim three years before his marriage, during which time he was head clerk in Mr. Lyons store. Later he entered business for himself. He served as mayor of Anaheim for many years, resigning when his health became so poor. Both Mr. and Mrs. Miller were formerly very active in all community affairs and retain a deep interest in the city of Anaheim. Congratulations are extended to Mr. and Mrs. Miller from their small, old fashioned cups and saucers were lovely, filled with an attractive arrangement of small flowers.
