Anaheim Man in Fierce Fight for Key Hill in Italy From Italy comes a story of how a strategic hill in the Po valley was finally taken after three days of fierce battle by Company B in the 361st infantry regiment, 91st "Powder River" division of the Fifth army. Taking part in the bitter fight was an Anaheim man, Pfc. Mike De Los Reyes. In taking the hill the company took 50 prisoners and killed or wounded 30 Germans. Understrength and exhausted from previous fighting, the men Anaheim Man Wins Silver Star for Action in Combat WITH THE 94TH INFANTRY DIVISION IN GERMANY—Pvt. First Class Wilfred Macon, son of William C. Macon, 1227½ Lincoln avenue, Anaheim, and a member of the 319th medical battalion, 94th infantry division, has been awarded the Silver Star Medal for gallantry in action in Germany. While evacuating wounded personnel Pfc. Macon's ambulance was halted by enemy troops which had infiltrated behind our lines. Directed to a clump of woods by the enemy commander Pfc. Macon and a comrade immediately built a dugout to care for the wounded. In the ensuing battle, Pfc. Macon and his comrade, repeatedly and under intense artillery fire, carried wounded soldiers to their makeshift aid station and rendered first aid. When the enemy was forced to retreat the two soldiers, despite the raking fire still covering the area, succeeded in evacuating their wounded to a battalion and station. Pfc. Macon's gallantry and deep concern for the welfare of his comrades are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service, according to the citation accompanying the award.

From Italy comes a story of how a strategic hill in the Po valley was finally taken after three days of fierce battle by Company B in the 361st infantry regiment, 91st "Powder River" division of the Fifth army. Taking part in the bitter fight was an Anaheim man, Pfc. Mike De Los Reyes. In taking the hill the company took 50 prisoners and killed or wounded 30 Germans. Understrength and exhausted from previous fighting, the men were repulsed in the attack they made the first day. On the second day they captured three caves beneath the crest of the hill and dug out 19 Germans and seized three machineguns. The caves, blasted out of solid rock had withstood divebombing and direct fire of tanks and were defended by mortar fire and crossfire of machineguns. The Jerries made a fierce counter-attack that night and some of the attackers reached the ledge above the caves and threw grenades directly into the position of the defenders. The Yanks held, however. There was an intense mortar and artillery duel that night and on the morning of the third day the Yanks moved ahead against machinegun cross-fire, reducing the remaining German strong points successively and securing the crest of the hill.

All these reports keep into Los Angeles from Farmers to benefit from new telephone development The half-million miles of existing telephone pole lines make it possible for 80% of the nation's farm families to obtain telephone service as easily as for families in built-up areas. Our first job is to win the war but as soon as conditions permit, many new devices and methods will be used to further improve and extend farm telephone service. They include such important developments as new types of wire for rural areas, a dial system for small communities, and a way to use electric power lines in transmitting telephone messages. These and other developments will bring telephone service to more and more farmers when men and materials are available. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TELEPHONE COMPANY Castillo Fights With 31st Div.

Bring Your Shopping Bag When Shopping REPORTER The Next Step Past The Packing House Had a chat yesterday with a grower from down in Orange County, a man with long experience in citrus, and incidentally quite a philosopher. “It’s too bad,” he said, “that we growers get so tied down to our own groves and busy with our own work that we tend to lose sight of the broad picture—our industry as a whole. We ought to look past the packing house.” That remark set your reporter thinking... There’s nothing more important in the citrus business than a fine packing house operation. But after the fruit is packed well, it must be sold well if the grower is to get a good return. Take, for example, the very next step after the packing house: the job of figuring out where your fruit ought to go and what price it should sell for. That’s mighty, mighty important, too! High time this column talked about it... So far as Sunkist growers are concerned, this job is handled by the District Exchanges. It’s the reason for them. Say that your fruit has already been harvested and packed for shipping under the direction of your Sunkist packing house manager. Right then the Sunkist District Exchange Manager takes over. He’s a hand-picked man, trained for the job. It’s his business first of all to know the fruit from your District every car. Next, it’s his business to know exactly where each particular car is likely to sell at the best possible price. Now off hand it seems unlikely that any man could know just where, on the whole U.S. and Canada, at one particular time, your particular car of fruit is most likely to sell at the best price. And yet your Sunkist District Exchange Manager, sitting in his office in your District in California or Arizona, does know exactly that. He knows it because of the far-lung facilities afforded him by the central Exchange. The teletype machine in his office is hooked up with a teletype machine in the central Sales Department of the California Fruit Growers Exchange in the Sunkist Building in Los Angeles. All day long his machine keeps clicking out information: Buffalo vendors three more cars of such-and-such sizes and quality of fruit. Deand has slacked off in Memphis; prices there are weakening. And so on. All these reports keep pouring into Los Angeles from the 56 HELP YOURSELF HELP OUR FARMERS Please! Bring Your Shopping Bag When Shopping Local TOMATOES 5 Lb.
