Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia, Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions. When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! (Continued From Page 1) turned out of the detention camps. The very least that should be done is to keep the Japs where they can do no harm until the war is over — and incidentally where no harm can be done to them, if the government has any concern about their safety or physical welfare. From some of the es, wage differentials, price differentials, lopsided allocation of medical personnel, disgraceful war housing, and soldiers' families forced to accept government-sponsored charity to supplement meager allowances—behaving like anything but a nation engaged in an all-out war. They don't like it and are just waiting for the job of war to get finished to start balancing accounts of civilian vs. soldier contribution to victory" (end quote). Now what do you think of that? The pro-Nazi, Fascist-controlled Hearst newspapers continue to carry on their campaign against America's allies in the war.

The Cherry blossom has again under the management Clyde Alling, the man turned out of the detention camps. The very least that should be done is to keep the Japs where they can do no harm until the war is over — and incidentally where no harm can be done to them, if the government has any concern about their safety or physical welfare. From some of the things I have heard I would hate to turn any Japs loose in this section of the country if I didn’t want them to get hurt. As far as their loyalty is concerned everybody knows there isn’t any such thing as a loyal Japanese-American. They know only one loyalty, and that is to Japan. It can be taken for granted that those who are claiming loyalty to this country are only carrying out their part in the Fifth Column scheme which Japan had worked out to the minutest detail long before they struck Pearl Harbor, and in which every Jap in this country had a part to play when the time came. The following is an official release from the Office of War Information. Maybe you will notice the story has a good beginning but a bad ending: Despite the strains of three years of wartime living and working, and an increasing shortage of physicians, psychiatrists, nurses and hospital facilities, the physical and mental health of America’s civilians shows no indication of a serious decline, the Office of War Information states in a comprehensive report on the state of the Nation’s health. It adds however, a warning from Surgeon General Parran that our lines against disease are lightly held, and that our shortages of health and medical manpower leave us vulnerable to a breakthrough on many fronts. The shortage of doctors continues to be more acute in rural areas than in towns and cities. Sanitation in many rural parts of the country remains at a low level. Correction of deficiencies in the Nation’s sanitary equipment would require construction of about 11,500 water systems, adequate sewerage facilities in more than 10,500 communities, safe water and privies for 5,000,000 rural homes, 400 milk pasteurization plants in 35 states. I have been wondering what the soldiers will think about the war they are fighting to stamp out Persian when they return. Now what do you think of that? The pro-Nazi Fascist-controlled Hearst newspapers continue to carry on their campaign against America’s allies in the war. The Hearsts and the Hoovers apparently are still grieving over the ill-gotten interests they lost when the Russians “threw the rascals out” of their country. When exploitation of the other fellow’s resources is stopped, friendship ceases and the propaganda war begins. That’s one main reason we have had such a hard time to gain the friendship and confidence of Mexico and some of the other countries to the south. When we learn to be honest with our neighbors we won’t have much trouble getting along with them. They are about as near human as we are. Maybe you have wondered how the American soldiers match up with the Japs in a show-down, hand-to-hand fight, since the record appears to indicate that many more Japs than American soldiers are killed, even during an invasion when the defending army has all the advantage. “Judo” means “to kill” in Japanese and every Jap soldier is thoroughly trained in judo defense. He plans to kill every American, if possible, and failing in that he plans to be killed himself. But, the American soldiers are also trained in judo fighting, only they plan to kill the Jap and not be killed themselves. I talked with a U.S. Marine judo instructor who told me the Japs are no match for an American with anything like even odds. He said he would tackle any ten Japs in a hand to hand fight and kill all ten of them with his bare hands before they knew what it was all about. The Japs are smaller and weaker than the American soldiers and they have no “sixth” sense—they do only what they have been trained to do and no more. The United States Marines know better than anybody else that you can’t trust a Jap, even in captivity, so why capture one when it’s just as easy to kill him. The Japs are mortally afraid of the white invaders which indicates an instinct inherent in all jungle animals. George Hunter, Woodman of the World in officers Thursday night at lowes: C. C.

The following three paragraphs from "The Technocrat" magazine about tells the story, all of which was confirmed by General Stillwell in a speech only last week. The Technocrat's comment follows: (quote) "There are 12 million men and women in our armed forces. Many of them have served since 1940. National Service has worked for them. Why can't it work for the rest of us? Are we a different breed? "Surely, we can no longer continue the pretense of distinction between the UNCONSCRIPTED—free to boost prices, raise wages, operate in black markets, resist governmental directives, bribe, graft, jam the hot spots, load pleasure trains, splash thousand dollar bills around, consume clothes, food, gasoline and cigarettes at any price—and those CONSCRIPTED into National Service—behaved, disciplined, rationed, organized, fighting, dying. Our soldiers are galled by these pretexts. Fortunately for us, all the men who have fought and suffered have not been here to witness our doings—YET.

Donald Fergus of Anaheim who is now in the Marianna Islands and participating in tennis matches "over there." Hunter, who was serving with Patton's Third Army at the time of the German push into Belgium, has no relatives in Anaheim but his brother Glenn lives in Santa Cruz. Concern for his friend led Cpl. Fergus to write the brother and he recently received a letter from Glenn informing him that Hunter is in a prison camp somewhere in Germany. Hunter has been in the Army about a year and went overseas approximately six months ago. He is a graduate of the Anaheim Union High school.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter Century ago. These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago March 11 — 1920 One of the heaviest showers experienced in a long time fell between twelve and one o'clock yesterday morning. Considerable ill was mixed with the rain on the Eastside. H. A. Dickel's gauge registered .72 of an inch during the night making 13.60 for the season. County Clerk J. M.

The supervisors will spend about $3,000 on the break in putting in lines of piling and barbed wire, the latter having been tried in Los Angeles and found to be a very effective means of gathering the floating brush and creating the nucleus of a solid embankment. Instead of extending the bridge a couple of hundred feet this way, which would cost about $575, the supervisors have determined to dyke the embankment and keep the river in its channel. Several lines of piling will be put in, according to plans by Surveyor Kellogg and when completed we hope the work will be permanent, and that we shall hear no further cause for dissatisfaction with this ever re-curring puissance.
