BOND DRIVE OPENS HERE WITH SHOW, PROGRAM AT THEATRE The Seventh War Loan drive got off to a good start in Anaheim Monday morning when the retail division, composed of store owners, managers and employees gathered at the Anaheim theater at 9 o'clock Monday morning for last-minute instructions and a program that would fire them with enthusiasm for asking "Will you buy a war bond?" The drive will end Saturday night, June 30 and Paul Demaree, chairman of local drive, and Lee Fabian promised that it will be enthusiastically pushed and that Anaheim will meet the greatest quota that it has ever had if everyone cooperates. Pointing out that it is a privilege to be able to buy American war bonds and of the momentous task ahead in meeting the required quota, Fabian again announced that headquarters would be at his store, 148 East Center street and that block captain are to report there. It was also announced that a premier movie will be shown at the Fox theater during the drive and that admission price will be only by bond purchase excepting for the volunteer workers who will be announced. School System Field Day at City Park May 25 The 20th annual demonstration of the Physical Education department of the elementary school system will be held on Friday, May 25, at the baseball field in the city park. It was announced Pointing out that it is a privilege to be able to buy American war bonds and of the momentous task ahead in meeting the required quota, Fabian again announced that headquarters would be at his store, 148 East Center street and that block captain: are to report there. It was also announced that a premier movie will be shown at the Fox theater during the drive and that admission price will be only by bond purchase excepting for the volunteer workers who will be admitted free. A Coast Guard band will make several appearances at service clubs and on the evening of June 18 "This is Your Infantry Show" will be staged at La Palma park by officers and men from Ft. Benning, Ga. The demonstration will show how a Jap pillbox is taken and the weapons of war, including tanks and flame throwers, will be used. Again the admission price will be by bond purchase. An army band will also perform. Demaree said that 85,000,000 Americans own bonds and that more than 87 per cent of the bonds are still in the hands of the original purchasers. The program was opened with him offering a prayer invoking God's help in the war against Japan. Guest speaker was Lt Henry Konysky of the Santa Ana Army Air Base, who, as pilot of a B-17, completed 35 missions over Germany. Stressing that the war is only half finished he said "we all have assignments whether we are civilians or in the service and the civilians greatest assignment is in purchasing war bonds. The success of the men overseas depends on us here at home." He said that in army lingo, "We don't want excuses, we want results." Buying war bonds is the best way to avoid inflation, he said, in saying that the men and women overseas want to come home to a people who are working hard and who have held the line on the home front as the servicemen have in the battle-line. He said that every man overseas feels that he has left a legacy to those behind and that feeling means more to him than buying ice cream sodas at the corner drugstore. He told how bitterly the men overseas feel when they hear the way the folks at home are throwing money away on expensive entertainment and unneeded luxuries. The program was concluded with a newsreel showing the atrocities committed by the Nazis School System Field Day at City Park May 25 The 20th annual demonstration of the Physical Education department of the elementary school system will be held on Friday, May 25, at the baseball field in the city park, it was announced today. The demonstration will be under the direction of Paul Jungkeit and Miss Adah Wilcox, heads of the department. One of the outstanding events of the school year, the program will start at 1:30 o'clock and, as in past years, a large crowd of interested parents and friends are expected to be in attendance. The hundreds of school children will march from their various schools to the city park and each student will be wearing visor caps of their own school colors. As in past years climax of the program will come at the end of the events when 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade girls will wind the large maypole. Two special demonstrations will be given; the first by 4th grade girls of George Washington school who, under the direction of Miss Esther Larimer, will give a Hawaiian dance. The second special number will be a rope skipping demonstration by the 5th and 6th grades at Benjamin Franklin school. Ted Bourne will direct the school bands in the opening exercise after which the marching units will enter. Following the flag salute and the students singing the first verse of "America" the students and audience will be welcomed by M. A. Gauer, superintendent of elementary schools. The upper divisions will then give a demonstration of physical exercises and hold a posture parade. The balance of the program will be as follows: Demonstration of folk game, "Partner Come Dance With Me" by 1st and 2nd grades. Children's polka dance by 3rd and 4th grades. Hawaiian dance by 4th grade girls of George Washington school. Demonstration of folk game, "Hewitt's Fancy," by 5th and 6th grades.

Civilian Goods Delay Predicted By Rotary Speaker Predicting that there will be considerable time lapse before in dusty will get into production of civilian goods John Bovee ad dressed members of the Rotary club Monday noon at the Elk club and told of his experience in helping the companies he works for change over from civilian production to war production. There is a lack of co-operation in Washington that delays action on contracts of the most necessary equipment, he said, and new developments must be made by private companies without financial aid. Nine out of ten developments tried prove to be failures and the continual changing of the specifications of the different equipment causes an increase cost of the finished product. He was introduced by Aksel Oas program chairman. John Dwyer, chairman of the USO party held Saturday night at the Santa Ana YMCA reporter that the event was most successful. Bill Cook and his band furnished the music and the local Rotarians furnished home-made cookies for the refreshment hour. Paul Demarée announced the opening of the Seventh War Loan Drive and announced the War Loan show; "This is Your Infantry" that will be given at La Palma park on June 18. Al Raymond explained provisions of the GI Bill of Rights how it operates and the control imposed by the Veterans Administration. He emphasized the fact that it is a loan and not an outright gift and that it is available to both men and women of the armed services. that every man overseas feels that he has left a legacy to those behind and that feeling means more to him than buying ice cream sodas at the corner drugstore. He told how bitterly the men overseas feel when they hear the way the folks at home are throwing money away on expensive entertainment and unneeded luxuries. The program was concluded with a newsreel showing the atrocities committed by the Nazis in Europe and a signal corps picture showing the first bombing of Tokyo. Quota for individual salespeople has been raised from $300 to $500 and promotion in the Naval Task force will be in accordance with naval rank, all starting as apprentice seamen.

Cherry Prices to Be Lower This Year Local consumers will pay less for early California sweet cherries this year. Herbert E. Sandberg, OPA food price specialist in the Los Angeles office, released this bit of cheering news to housewives this week when he announced lower grower ceilings this year should reflect a reduction of from 2 to 3 cents per pound at the retail level. Sandberg declared that the initial maximum price for California produced cherries should be 34 or 35 cents to local consumers up to the middle of June. He pointed out that later in the year, when importation from the north started, retail prices would range from 37 to 39 cents per pound. HAS OPERATION Lynn Witherell of Harbor boulevard underwent an operation on his leg at the Good Samaritan hospital last Friday. Friends understand that he is getting along nicely. County Tax Rate To Remain Static County department heads are now preparing tentative budgets for the 1945-46 fiscal year and county officials predict the county budget will be slightly higher but the tax rate probably will remain at 83 cents on the $100 assessed valuation. The board of supervisors has asked the county department heads to present the preliminary estimates to the board by June in order that the supervisors will be able to compile an estimate of total expenditures in advance of the regular budgets. The fiscal year opens July 1 but formal budget hearings will not be started before Aug. 10 in accordance with state law. Officials predict major items in the budget will be for capital outlay, such as replacement of worn out equipment. Included are automobiles, typewriters and office machines if they are available.

Moeller and Lee Fabian, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce retail division, waited upon the council and asked that the city lights be turned on to-pre-war wattage and the streets in the downtown district be cleaned up. City officials explained that the streets in Anaheim, including the downtown district, are cleaned every morning seven days a week between 4 and 6 a.m. The streets are cleaned by a power sweeper and two hand sweepers. City officials further explained that it is the merchants themselves who create the litter in the gutters by sweeping the filth from their stores and the sidewalk in front of their businesses into the gutters after they have already received their daily cleaning. V. W. Hannum, head of the municipal water and power department, states that the black-out caps are being removed as rapidly as possible but that it is a slow, painstaking job as the paint can only be removed by use of acid. He predicted that it would be from 30 to 60 days before the work is completed. Yank on Okinawa Prefers Banzai Charge to Ambush From Okinawa comes the following story written by Sgt. Ed Meagher, a Marine corps-combat correspondent and it tells what a young man from Anaheim, Pfc. Russell E. Schmitt, saw, thought and felt as he stalked the Japs on Motobu peninsula: OKINAWA—(Delayed) — The most frightening experience in war, veterans say, is facing a "banzai" charge, but Marine Pfc. Russell E. Schmitt, 20, of 111 North Santa Fe street, Anaheim, Cal., fervently and repeatedly hoped the Japs would launch one on Motobu peninsula. And every man in his company shared that hope. But the Japs didn't charge. On Motobu—among its wild mountain peaks, rugged hills and deep ravines—they fought Indian style, striking suddenly from ambush and then quickly fading back to set up the next ambush. "It was rough," said Schmitt, "walking along knowing the Japs were watching us, waiting for us to reach their next ambush." When we reached it, they'd cut loose with nambus (Jap light machine guns) or knee mortars. Men you'd lived with for a long time would go down and there wasn't a thing we could do. "Mountains echoed the sound of their fire so that it seemed to come in all directions. They'd fire a few bursts, let go with a few rounds on the mortars and then drop back to wait for us to catch up with them again. "We'd have welcomed a 'banzai' any time. All we wanted was a chance to fight back. A 'banzai' would have been fine," he said. Schmitt's company advanced under such conditions for 48 hours, and then the Japs ran out of ambushing positions. Once his squad caught up with a bunch of Japs running down a 72 Anniversary of St. Michael's to Be This Weekend St. Michael's Episcopal chiewill celebrate its seventy-secoanniversary on Sunday and Mday, May 20-21.

German Prisoner STRONG DEMAND FOR ORANGES CONTINUES ON CITRUS MARKETS The demand for oranges continued strong and prices for reasonably sound fruit was at ceiling on the markets during the past week. However, some cars of navels were showing extremely heavy decay and they were heavily discounted. Central California valencias are arriving on the markets and are generally selling at ceiling prices with sizes of the fruit desirable. The sales of packed oranges for last week set a record for volume with 211 cars more being sold than at this time a year ago. Shipments this week are expected to be of greater volume, combining all shipments of navels and valencias. In comparison with the Californias shipments, Florida is estimated to ship far below the western state shipments. Extremely cool weather in all markets has caused a sharp decline in demand for lemons and prices have weakened materially. Growers and shippers are in hopes the weather will soon warm up and spur the sale of lemons. Shipments are being held to a fewer number of cars in an effort to bring supply and demand more closely in balance. Supplies enroute are building up to a point that can be of a decided detriment to the lemon grower and to the exchanges, flooding the markets unless steps are taken to keep up the current prices for this commodity. 1945 SENIOR CLASS TO GRADUATE 168 STUDENTS; 24 IN ARMED FORCES Army Officers Warn Youth of Use Of "PW" Stencils SANTA ANA, May 15—The juvenile practice of stenciling PW on a piece of clothing may begin as a joke and end as a tragedy, according to Brig. General Arthur E. Easterbrook, Commanding General of the Santa Ana Army Air Base. In a statement issued today, Gen. Easterbrook said: "It has become a practice among young people to stencil the letters PW on pieces of clothing they wear. The letters, standing for Prisoner of War, are put there as a sort of prank. The results, however, may be both serious and tragic." Paul Demaree, principal at the Anaheim Union High school today disclosed the names of students who will receive diplomas in commencement exercises at the city park Greek theater on June 12. Diplomas will be presented to 168 students, barring last minute changes, the list including 24 students who are in the armed forces but have completed the required work.

Anniversary of Michael’s to This Weekend Michael’s Episcopal church celebrates its seventy-second anniversary on Sunday and Monday May 20-21. The two-day event will be observed in special places on Sunday and on Monday evening a pot-luck dinner will be held in the Parish hall dining at 6:30 o’clock. The latter event will give members of the congregation an opportunity to meet their new recruits and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. K. Sayille of Los Angeles, will be special guests for the event. Mr. and Mrs. Saville will take up their residency in the city until July 1 as he is going up his activities at St. Agnes Guild members take charge of the decorations.

Michael’s church is the old church in the county still by the same congregation. Church was founded in 1873 the organization of the Sun-school and in 1875 the church was built. Man Prisoners According to Brig. General Arthur E. Easterbrook, Commanding General of the Santa Ana Army Air Base. In a statement issued today, Gen. Easterbrook said: “It has become a practice among young people to stencil the letters PW on pieces of clothing they wear. The letters, standing for Prisoner of War, are put there as a sort of prank. The results, however, may be both serious and tragic. “Military personnel are always on the alert for escaped prisoners of war. It is not improbable that some youth with PW marked on his clothing may be mistaken for such an escaped prisoner and will be treated accordingly. “Such pranks, moreover, interfere seriously with the apprehension of genuine prisoners. It becomes difficult and confusing to arrest escaped PWs, known enemies of our country, if young people masquerade as such. “Cases have come to our attention wherein citizens have seen young men with PW on their clothing. These cases have started false rumors and have resulted in long and costly investigation. It is needless to stress that anyone who causes such a waste of our precious manpower is guilty of an unpatriotic act which is obstructing our most efficient pursuit of this war to a speedy end.” Red Cross Faces Greatest Task In discussing the future needs and work of the American Red Cross, Mrs. H. D. Nelson, chairman of the local chapter, issued the following statement and appealed for volunteer workers to stay on the job and finish the great tasks that still lie ahead. “Red Cross workers must remain with American troops in Europe until they return home for more than ever they must bring cheer to the tired, homesick soldiers awaiting demobilization—and to untangle demobilizing personal and family problems. “In the Pacific our task will become more complex and infinitely greater as the fighting increases in intensity and casualties mount. Red Cross field directors must stay with combat units, trained workers must remain in hospitals and experienced personnel in our clubs. “On the home front we face new and challenging problems in providing skilled assistance to returning veterans, both hospitalized work. Those in the service are as follows: Leslie Adams, Kenneth Athy, Robert Benson, Robert Berg, Donald Brown, Leslie Carey, Elmer Clabaugh, Douglas Crout, Jack Dunton, Jack Duval, Wayne Gates, Earl Gautsche, Dwight Harvey, Dominic Hoffman, Guy Holman, George Kelly, Louis Kibat, Mike McClain, Lyle Newkirk, Glenn Porter, Mickey Smith, Bill Trimble, Ollie Williams and Richard Wiltse.
