School Field Day Attended By Capacity Crowd
Hundreds of elementary school students with that scrubbed and healthy free American look marched before an admiring capacity crowd of parents, grandparents and friends last Friday afternoon in the 19th annual physical education demonstration. It was held at the city park and for an hour-and-a-half youth performed with athletic prowess and grace under the direction of Miss Adah Louise Wilcox and Paul Jungkeit, heads of the physical education department. Music was directed by Ted Bourne and Miss Bonnie Mae Smith, heads of the music department.
The program was opened by the Fremont school hand playing Seniors Look Forward to Week of Social Gayety and Commencement
There is no doubt but what the busiest people in town these days are the senior students at the Anaheim Union High school and on Monday they will enter upon their last full week of campus activities. For them it will be a mixture of fun and seriousness as the turn to the last chapter in their school books and enter upon the social whirl of Senior Week. Never again will there be anything quite like the thrill of the next few days. In less than two weeks these 168 students who have been together for so many years will have parted company and gone their separate ways into the adult world.
Some will go on to institutions of higher learning; some will enter the work-a-day world; for some it will mean marriage and for others the call to colors.
The ranks have already been broken to a certain extent for 24 boys, who have earned diplomas, will not be present to accept them. They are already fighting their country's battles in the distant corners of the world. Instead of carrying diplomas they are wearing on their tunics the little bronze stars of battle; the medals The girls have a far-away look in their eyes as they dream of the lovely new frocks that are hung so carefully in their closes and of the blossoms they'll wear in their hair and for once the boys are giving thought to the color necktie they'll wear. They are all hoping that mother and day will go easy on the curfew hour and that teacher will understand the hand that covers the yawl. They will for they've been senior too!
parents and friends last Friday afternoon in the 19th annual physical education demonstration. It was held at the city park and for an hour-and-a-half youth performed with athletic prowess and grace under the direction of Miss Adah Louise Wilcox and Paul Jungkeit, heads of the physical education department. Music was directed by Ted Bourne and Miss Bonnie Mae Smith, heads of the music department.
The program was opened by the Fremont school band playing a group of selections after which they drilled with precision and accord. Forming numerous intricate designs the band won for itself loud applause when members grouped themselves into a large "V" for Victory. They were led by pert, high-stepping Ellen Newton.
A color guard of Boy and Girl Scouts next appeared with the American flag and the California standard. They were followed by a group of Fremont school majorettes and the band. Behind the band came all the students divided into marching units and later they passed before the grandstand in review while round after round of applause was accorded them for their marching ability.
While all the students were on the field they, and the audience, joined in the flag salute and the singing of "America". M. A. Gauer, superintendent of schools, briefly welcomed them and thanked the teachers and students for the fine spirit they had shown in working up the demonstration. He urged the young people to continue to strive for physical fitness as well as for mental fitness and above all to strive for self control.
The upper division students next gave a demonstration of physical exercises. First and second grade students of all the schools then performed a dance, "Partner Come, Dance With Me" from "Hansel and Gretel" after which the combined third and fourth grades performed a snappy polka dance.
A specialty number was given by the Fourth grade girls from George Washington school. Performing an Hawaiian dance the girls were both graceful and lovely in their green grass skirts and colorful leis as they danced to the tune of "A Little Brown Girl in a Little Green Shack".

A specialty number was given by the Fourth grade girls from George Washington school. Performing an Hawaiian dance the girls were both graceful and lovely in their green grass skirts and colorful leis as they danced to the tune of "A Little Brown Girl in a Little Green Shack".
A second specialty number was the rope skipping act given by the fifth and sixth grade girls of Benjamin Franklin school. Grace and rhythm were particularly noticeable in this demonstration.
Fifth and sixth grade boys gave an exciting demonstration of a relay race and it was George Washington boys who were the victors. Seventh and eighth grade girls then gracefully performed an American folk dance, "The Virginia Reel".
As usual, the tumbling act put on by seventh and eighth grade boys proved one of the highlights of the afternoon.
Particular skill was shown by Herbert Perez and Garth Menges. Dressed as white-faced clowns they were adept at mixing humor with an excellent performance.
The concluding number was the maypole dance given by upper division girls and as usual proved a fitting climax for the afternoon's performance. There were eight maypoles on the field and all the pastel shades of the rainbow were represented and they were beautifully interwoven by the girls.

City Prepares To Start Veteran's Personnel Dep't
Determined to see that Anaheim's World War II veterans get a square deal upon their return city councilmen and other officials met Monday evening at the council chambers to lay the foundation for the establishment of a municipal public relations office where returning veterans can secure accurate information regarding their rights and benefits and good sound advice on their return to civilian life.

council chambers to lay the foundation for the establishment of a municipal public relations office where returning veterans can secure accurate information regarding their rights and benefits and good sound advice on their return to civilian life.
Officials contacted following the meeting were all strong in their determination that this be no half-way measure and that the city must back their returning men and women who, in many cases, will find readjustment to civilian life a difficult and confusing affair.
While plans are in no way completed the general idea is that a personnel department be established with a well qualified, full-time employed director at the head of the office. This director must thoroughly understand the outlook of the returning serviceman and be prepared to quickly and efficiently hand out information that he needs and direct him to the agency that will best serve his particular requirements.
The serviceman or woman will have to know how to go about securing the rights he is entitled to under the GI bill of rights, whether it be for education, building a home, securing a pension, or paying up on a back mortgage or insurance policy.
Returning servicemen are greatly confused by the number of bureaus and agencies set up in his behalf, each dealing with its own particular line of activity, and for this reason it is felt that there is a great need for a coordinator of veterans' activities. In most cases the veteran does not know whether he should go to a credit bureau, a building and loan association, the Red Cross or the Veterans' bureau for help.
The public relations director will be backed by an advisory board composed of local citizens who are really interested and understanding of the returned serviceman's problems. As one official put it, "This won't be just a board of names; it will be a good, strong, hard-working advisory board."
The same group that met Monday evening will again meet on June 11 at which time the advisory board will be selected.
In addition to city councilmen those present included U. S. employment bureau representative, Winterbourne; "Lucky". Baldwin of the Veterans' bureau in Santa Ana; William P. Webb, service-man's representative for the American Legion; Secretary of charm.

Large Crowd Witnesses VFW Patriotic Program
More than 500 assembled for the excellent Americanism and Memorial program that was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Auxiliary last Sunday afternoon at the Greek amphitheater in the city park when homeage was paid to a group of public school teachers for their outstanding example of good citizenship; to a gold star mother, a Red Cross Nurse and a World War One veteran.
The teachers presented with citizenship medals by Brig. Gen. Arthur Easterbrook, commanding officer of the Santa Ana Army Air Base, were Clyde Nickle and Lucia Upp of Anaheim; William B. Purdy and Gladys Colestad of Placentia; Glen Dysinger and Alta Teef of La Habra; Ruth Knowlton of Fullerton, D. E. Jaster of Brea and Edna Ingham and Edith Gilbert of Santa Ana. In addition to the medals the women teachers were presented with flowers and the men teachers with carnation boutonnieres.
Brig. Gen. Easterbrook spoke briefly of the fine example the teachers had set and congratulated them on having been chosen by their P.T.A. groups as examples of good citizens. George Sala, chairman of arrangements, (Continued on Page 6)

A. J. Schutte of Anaheim, president of the Orange County Farm bureau, has recently returned from a visit to President Truman’s home town, Independence, Mo., where he talked so many mutual neighbors and friends of the President.

DROP IN FLORIDA CITRUS OUTPUT PLACES LOAD ON STATE GROWERS
Building $70,000 Warehouse
One of Anaheim's major industries, the Southern California Citrus Foods company, has started excavation work on a $70,000 warehouse of re-inforced brick at its plant, 124 North Olive street. The work is being done by the J. A. Mitchell company of Los Angeles and will probably be finished in approximately 70 days.
The warehouse will be 100 by 175 feet. Rapidly expanding the plant, work was started several weeks ago on a $13,000 cooling tower that is located behind the main building. The warehouse will be located behind the cooler.
With a sharp reduction in Florida shipments of citrus fruits, the task of supplying the increased demand for these products is placed with the California growers and citrus exchanges. The demand for oranges still greatly exceeds the supply and this condition has been further accentuated by the failure of California shipments to step up. Harvesting of valencias should get under full swing within the next few weeks, providing enough pickers can be hired to do the job. The importation of Mexican Nationals is far below that of last year, particularly at this time. At first it was believed that the approximate amount of the preceding year would be available but this is not the case this year.
Europe will have ended. I be waited a long time to write and now that it is over I scarcely believe it.

Lions Club Unveils Plaque In Honor Of Capt. F. Fitch
Unveiling of a plaque in memory of the heroic deeds of Capt. Frank Fitch, former member of the Lions club who lost his life in the European theater of operations during World War II, marked the highlight of the year's most outstanding meeting of the Lions club last Friday afternoon at the Elks clubhouse, Mayor Charles Pearson officiated at the impressive ceremony and the eulogy was read by S. F. Hingenfeld.
Witnessing the ceremony in addition toto members were the sister of the deceased, Mrs. E. Hardy, and her husband from Artesia and Mrs. Mary Millerick Bergfeld, aunt of the war hero.
The beautiful plaque that will hang as a permanent memorial in the clubrooms reads, "Capt. Frank Fitch, Co. L., 18th U. S. Infantry, First Division. Fell in combat Normandy beachhead June 6, 1944, 'D-day.' Homage to a brave Lion."
The meeting also marked the election of officers for the coming year; appearance of Col. John C. French, California State Guard tactical commander for the southern area extending from San Luis Obispo through Nevada and other western districts, and the appearance of a group of Navy entertainers for the advancement of the Seventh War Loan drive.
Glen L. Hippe was elected president for the ensuing year and those re-elected were Vic LaMont, secretary, and Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, treasurer. Ted Schleuter, Tevis Westgate and E. O. Hutson were elected trustees.
Elmo Davis introduced the guest speaker Col. French.
dition has been further accentuated by the failure of California shipments to step up. Harvesting of valencias should get under full swing within the next few weeks, providing enough pickers can be hired to do the job. The importation of Mexican Nationals is far below that of last year, particularly at this time. At first it was believed that the approximate amount of the preceding year would be available but this is not the case this year.
Officials of various organizations are working with the military authorities on plans to use the prisoners of war who rae interned in camps in th immediate territory, although, according to all reports, these do not produce the amount in volume of fruit picked as-do the nationals.
The few cars of California valencias have been accepted with only moderate resistance on extremely small sizes, however, in the face of the present existing shortage this resistance, in some instances, has faded.
The shipments from California will materially increase in the next few weeks, with probably not more than a few hundred carloads remaining for shipment from central California, giving a ready market for southern California fruit. The remaining cars for shipment on the Florida markets will probably not be more than five hundred.
A gradual improvement in the lemon market is being felt on the market with the volume of sales to increase over last week with prices appreciably higher. Weather conditions for this crop are also more favorable over the past few weeks.
Plan Preservation Of Landmarks
Plans for preserving some of Orange county's early landmarks will be discussed by members of Mother Colony parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, who will meet next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the Anaheim Elks club.
Orange county is rich in history and tradition of early California and little has been done to keep these things for posterity. One by one the old landmarks are being erased and today only a few remain. President Gerard Callens said today.
At a recent meeting of officers of Mother Colony parlor it was felt that local Native Sons should

I.C.A. Camp Rally
No 1 at Church
Y.M.C.A. camp rally will be this Friday evening, June 1, 2000 o'clock in the Presbyterian basement and all boys who attended summer camp at La as well as those who are on attending this year urged to attend. Parents are also.
Evening will include a Pic-Roundup and a Friendly In-pow wow. The fore part of the evening will be devoted to showing of motion pictures last year at Camp Osceola. Group will then adjourn to Anaheim Union High school swimming pool where they will swim. Boys are reminded it is necessary to bring as well as their own swim-trunks.
Lillian Knutsen left Ana-Tuesday night for Chicago she has accepted a secret position. She has been emailed at the Anaheim Chamber commerce for the past 20 days.
Elmo Davis introduced the guest speaker, Col. French, who told how the state guard, now numbering 30,000 members, was formed immediately after the National Guard was called into active service. The west coast was left without armed protection right after Pearl Harbor, he said, and it was the state guard that gave protection to the coastal areas.
Larry King acted as master of ceremonies for the Navy program. Formerly Sally Rand's manager, he and his associates are now helping to put over the present bond drive with a series of entertaining programs. Appearing on the program with him were Pat Hogan, John Ferris, W. Holler and Ray Duffy.
O. E. Hanson was appointed Lions club chairman for the bond drive.
Special guests of the day were Lt. Roger Chapman, brother of the club's president; Wayne Reafsynder and Fred Grable, past president of the Huntington Beach Lions.
ADDRESSES ORANGE GROUP
Paul Demaree was the guest speaker last week at the Orange Walther League when that group celebrated the 52nd anniversary of the founding of the league. He talked on "Three Needs For Success". The dinner meeting was attended by 175 members and guests of the St. John's league.
Orange county is rich in the history and tradition of early California and little has been done to keep these things for posterity. One by one the old landmarks are being erased and today only a few remain. President Gerard Callens said today.
At a recent meeting of officers of Mother Colony parlor it was felt that local Native Sons should take the lead in this work, as the membership is made up largely of pioneers or sons of pioneers in this area, a situation unique even in the statewide order. The officers also feel, Callens said, that Mother Colony parlor, although its membership comes from northern Orange county, should interest itself in the entire county, working wherever possible with parlors in Santa Ana and Huntington Beach. For this reason, the matter will be laid before the parlor for discussion Tuesday evening.
At the meeting the parlor will also initiate a class of candidates, the impressive ritual being put on by its officers. Every member is urged to be present, Callens said.
BOARD MEETING MONDAZ
Executive board meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce will be held next Monday evening at the Rossmore hotel in Santa Ana at 6:30 o'clock. All directors and members of the airport committees in the various communities are urged to attend as the evening will be devoted to a discussion of an airport system for the county.
CHILDREN'S PARTY
