Thursday, November 30, 1944 Fullerton Lions Sponsor Big Time Football Game Big time professional football comes to Orange county the night of December 2 when the sensational Hollywood Rangers will play a team of Pacific Coast stars at the high school stadium in Fullerton at 8:15 p.m. The game is under the sponsorship of the Fullerton Lions club, and the net receipts will go to the club's charity fund, a large portion of which will be used for rehabilitating returning service men who are sightless. While ticket prices for such games in the cities on the coast run as high as $6 per seat, the Lions have come out with a general admission charge of $1.50 per seat plus federal tax, with a reserved section selling at $2.50 per seat plus federal tax. At this low cost, Orange county fans will be able to witness one of the finest games on the coast for a very nominal price. Plans are being made to seat close to 10,000 persons, and those planning to see this contest will have the opportunity to secure advance tickets which will save standing in line on the night of the game. Each community will have tickets at their local ticket agencies. Those who follow football need no introduction to the Rangers' record this season. They have run roughshod over all opposition, and the club features several Orange county stars as Merle Hapes, leading scorer of the country, Earl Pruney Parsons and Rusty Roquet. The All Stars will consist of Two Anaheim Men Finish Course at Great Lakes, Ill.

BULLETIN ON LABOR-SAVING DEVICES AVAILABLE Labor-saving Devices for Farm, an illustrated 21-page circular published by the University of California, describing labor-saving machines and es, is now available for free publication at the Agricultural Division Service office, 220 Ra Building, Santa Ana. According to H. E. Wahlbeck the Agricultural Extension service, the equipment described includes a homemade bale pick-up sack loader, pot grain elevator, tray lifters branding equipment, peach er, walnut shakers, and sealer labor and time-saving device... IT TAKES PLENTY OF WAR BONDS TO BUILD B-29s THE WAR in the Pacific is the most costly war America has ever engaged in. It's simple arithmetic. A mountain of special, costly equipment is needed. A B-29 Superfortress used in the bombing of Japan costs $600,000 in War Bonds. And this is just one of the many extra costly implements of war needed to achieve final victory in the Pacific. That's why the 6th War Loan Drive is so important. That's why you must back it as generously as you have every other war loan drive. Invest in the next raid on Japan...

Los Angeles Street, Anaheim Orange County 4-H Clubs Produce Food for War 4-H Club boys and girls in Orange County produced food this past year valued at more than $68,000, it was stated today by H. W. Longfellow of the Agricultural Extension Service. The Annual Report on 4-H clubwork in this county has been sent to the College of Agriculture of the University of California, where it will be combined with reports from other counties to contribute to the national report of the United States Department of Agriculture. Three hundred and eight 4-H boys and girls contributed in a large measure to the agricultural war effort. Food crops led the production list, with a value of $48,000. Livestock production was valued at $20,000. Poultry and rabbit production were the most popular projects, with dairy cattle, beef cattle, and swine following. In addition to food production, 52 girls specialized in clothing conservation, and made or remodeled 449 garments. Six boys and girls carried food preservation projects, and seven members conducted home furnishing projects. A current slogan of the 4-H program is "Feed a Soldier." Over 700,000 club members in the nation have produced enough food for thousands of soldiers. In addition, they have taken part in salage drives and sold and bought millions of dollars worth of war bonds. 4-H Clubwork is conducted with local volunteer leaders under the Big Race Card Up For Saturday at Hollywood Park INGLEWOOD, CAL.—Eighteen of the finest thoroughbreds on the ground have been nominated for the 5th running of the American Handicap, for $25,000-added at Hollywood Park, Dec. 2. The race, for three-year-olds and up, over one and one-eighth miles, will be a final preview of the top contenders for the Hollywood Gold Cup, to be run on the final day of the meet. With the track still improving, after the re-surfacing which was one of the finest pieces of work on a racing strip the nation has ever known, assurance of fast footing, and eagerness of horsemen to give their runners a race before Gold Cup time, gives promise of about 14 starters in the American. Some of the finest-bred animals the country boasts will be present for the race. To mention some of them, there is Lou-Bre, by Brevity, and a sensational horse in the Widener string in his running days, just barely missing a Kentucky Derby victory. Porter's Cap, in the C. S. Howard barn, as is Lou-Bre, is by the Porter, one of America's finest distance performers; No Wrinkles, a Grandson of Man 'O War, on the dame side; Paperboy, the British-bred flyer, which was sired by Papyrus, winner of the British Derby; Phar Rong, another grandson of Man O' War, "Dig Red" as he has been affectionately called. Others are Sickles Choice, by Sickle, sire of Stagehand, winner of the Santa Anita Derby and Handicap in 1938; Autocrat, out of Spooky, which was one of the fastest mares seen at old Tiauana: Rev. Dow, Family Go to New Home The Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector of St. Michael's Episcopal church, and his family left on Wednesday for their new home, St. Mary's-by-the-Sea, Pacific Grove, in the northern part of the state, where he will be rector of the church there. Next Sunday he and his family will officially be welcomed by the members of the Parish. During the past few weeks, Rev. Dow and his family have been entertained many times by their parish members and friends. Nearly fourteen and a half years ago, they came to Anaheim and during these years have endeared themselves not only to the members of the church but to the entire community who regret exceedingly to see them leave but feel that they are finding a larger field in which to carry on their work. The rector delivered his farewell sermon on Sunday, which saw an unusual number of friends and members in attendance. In appreciation of the splendid work done here, the Dow family received many gifts. To conclude his last sermon and as a remembrance, the church had engaged a photographer who took pictures of the gathering.

Rittgers, U. S. N. R., maintenance officer at the new Navy munitions and net depot at Seal Beach. He was introduced by Wilson Phelps, program chairman. President Fred Robbins presided. The huge naval installation, which is still under construction, is expected to employ 800 civilians and 1,200 enlisted men by next March, the speaker said. It is also contemplated that the ammunition depot will be a permanent supply base for the U. S. Navy and that it will be as busy after the war as it will be from now until hostilities cease, he said. In order to prevent any such occurrence as the recent explosion at Port Chicago on the Sacramento river, the munitions will be taken from storage on the area in small amounts and hauled six mlies out to sea on barges where it will be transferred to the navy ships, Com. Rittgers said. Every precaution will be taken to protect the public in the adjacent area and along the highways running through the district, by the erection of bunkers at strategic points, he said.

LATEST REPORTS SHOW HEAVIER STORM DAMAGE IN FLORIDA More recent appraisals of the loss of fruit and vegetables in Florida due to the hurricane of October 19-21 have just been received by the Agricultural Extension Service. Because of Florida's keen competition with California products, the losses will undoubtedly have much significance in final returns to Orange County and Southern California growers. Grapefruit production has been reduced 43%; oranges, 21% less; tangerines, 6% less; late snap beans, 71% less; early snap beans, 25% less; celery, 25 per cent less; cucumbers, 80 per cent less; eggplant, 70 percent less; green peppers, 85 percent less; early Irish potatoes, 15 percent less; and late fall tomatoes, 75 percent less. The heaviest fruit losses occurred in Polk, Orange, De Soto, Hardee, Highlands, and Seminole counties. The harvest vegetable losses were in the West Coast areas and in the Lake Okeechobee region.

LOCAL MEN BEGIN TRAINING AT CATALINA ISLAND BASE Two Anaheim men sailed for Catalina Island this week to begin "boot" training in the U.S. Maritime Service. Marvin Fluegge, t. 1, Box 270, and James Maxon, route 1, Box 270, Buena Park, were included in the latest local group, according to Lt. (jg) J. F. Rundeen, Regional Enrolling Officer at 514 West Sixth Street, Los Angeles. Extensive training in the use of feboats, rubber exposure suits (called "zoot suits" by the men), and other modern safety equipment, is included in the course. Athletics are also stressed to put the men in topnotch physical condition for their rigorous new life, and a final two-weeks cruise aboard the "American Seafarer," Maritime Service training vessel, will give them their sea legs. As soon as they qualify as seamen, they will be ready to sail the ships of America's great new merchant fleet. “It’s a good deal,” the men agreed. “Besides doing our part in the war, we’ll be preparing for a post-war career. The Maritime Service offers a swell chance for any man from 17 to 50.” GEN. SOMERVELL SAYS: “No one in the Army Service Forces is going to get hung for taking action . . . but, inaction cannot and will not be tolerated!”—Lt. Gen. Brehon Somervell, ASF chieftan.

Lemke, 21, of Anaheim, is now authorized to wear the Distinguished Unit badge, signifying that he is a member of a Twelfth Air Force B-25 Mitchell bombardment group which has received the war department's citation "for its part in destroying the Benevento, Italy, marshalling yards with devastating effect." The citation reads in part, "distinguishing themselves through extraordinary heroism and unswerving resolution, the combat crews destroyed 18 of the attacking planes and bombed the marshalling yards with devastating effect." The gallantry and combat proficiency exhibited by the personnel of this group in striking this decisive blow have reflected the highest credit on their organization and the military service of the United States.
