The painting is "The Queen of Sheba" by the late Hugo Possner of Hollywood. It is four by eight feet and is considered one of the artist's finest works. Giv- ANAHEIM GAZETTE AN EXTRA PENNY CAN BE A BOOBY TRAP! HOW WE CAN KEEP YES, YOUR PENNIES can cause an explosion! Every time you pay one penny more than ceiling prices, you endanger the whole structure of price control. So far, the shoppers and grocers of America have done a great job in keeping prices down. But the battle is really just beginning. In the last war, prices went sky-high AFTER the fighting stopped. So keep your eye on OPA price lists in the stores! WATCH THE EXTRA PENNIES...THEY'RE "BOOBY TRAPS" Collector Places 'Queen of a' on Display at Public Library MEMORIAL PLAQUE AT SANTA ANA J. C. Another memorial plaque, containing 33 names of former students of Santa Ana junior college who have given their lives in the service of their country, has been added to the line of other plaques that already hang in the college library. There are 67 names all together and on these beautiful memorials appear the names of a number of former Anaheim boys including Sgt. Rex Middleton, '32; pharmacist's mate second class Marvin Adam Lehr. The new deal, which in its tremes was the American equivalent of the National Socialism with pinkish tinges, is raping apart at the seams, so far as I can observe, no Republicans and a very few Democrats are standing around with need and thread hoping to save it. The selection of Clinton Anderson as Secretary of Agriculture pleases everyone; I haven't heard a negative comment. He is of us. He is from the west. Is the first Secretary of Agriculture ever in the history of a country to know from experience that water can come through irrigation ditches as well as direct from the clouds. The speech...

Belgian People Get Medical Items Helping to relieve the acute suffering of thousands of long-oppressed victims of Nazi terrorism, vast quantities of vitamins, pills and dehydrated foods have been shipped to Belgium by the Belgian War Relief society, according to a report today to Orlyn N. Robertson, chairman of the Orange County War Chest, from the National War fund which finances the work of that organization. In an effort to help check the spread of famine and disease left in the wake of the vanquished Germans, 140,000,000 vitamin tablets, pills and drugs, shipped overseas during the first quarter of this year, are now being distributed among the Belgian people, the report stated. All of the packages have imprinted on the wrappers; "Gift of the Belgian War Relief Society of the U.S.A." the report concluded. Bought your War Bond? 12-Year-Old Boy Writes First Poem And Studies for Interesting Profession With all the confidence of a 12-year-old, John Hilbers presented a neatly typewritten envelope and asked if the Anaheim Gazette would like to print his first poem. After reading it the Gazette is indeed happy and proud to publish it and at the same time to express the hope that future years will see his name signed to many a bit of verse. Not that John is planning to be a poet but he does think that poetry and writing might make a nice hobby. What he wants to do is to teach Esperanto and towards that end he is already studying the language. He became interested in it from a young friend in Long Beach and in his spare moments is studying a book on the proposed universal language. "It is very easy to learn," he said as he reeled off a sentence in Esperanto. John has a lot of other "likes" too, including baseball, swimming and the Boy Scouts. He is a member of troop No. 12 at the George Washington school where he is just completing the sixth grade. He lives with his mother, Mrs. Helen Hilbers at 216 North Clementine street. Following in his poem: The Willow Tree in My Favorite Park The willow tree in my favorite park, With strings of leaves and spots of bark, Are graceful as the winds and streams As puppet dancers on the strings. They have a flowing gracefulness Against the mountain's silver crest; They seem to give a golden light That shines upon me all the night. Vacationists Urged to Help in Season's Harvest With vacation time hovering near at hand Warren S. Schoonover, state supervisor for the emergency farm labor program of the agricultural extension service is urging vacationists to take their vacation in late August, September and October and to spend a good part of it, if not all, in the harvest fields helping produce the nation's food supply. The following message was sent by him to residents of Orange county: "Up to the present time the number of seasonal workers has been sufficient to accomplish all the arm tasks necessary in most areas. The same condition, we hope, will prevail during June and July despite increasing demands. However, as the major seasonal crops come in during August and on into September and October the labor requirements will rise sharply and critical shortages will develop. We will need hundreds of volunteers at that time." The number of Mexican nationals and prisoners of war workers allocated to Orange county is The willow tree in my favorite park, With strings of leaves and spots of bark, Are graceful as the winds and streams As puppet dancers on the strings. They have a flowing gracefulness Against the mountain's silver crest; They seem to give a golden light That shines upon me all the night. And often in my favorite park I hear the thrilling of the lark; And then I hear the robin's cry As it goes swiftly winging by. A stream that rushes past the trees, The sigh of wind, the hum of bees, The whispering trees, the dog's loud bark, All these are in my favorite park. DROUGHT ABROAD Food to meet the critical needs of liberated Europe has been reduced materially by drought conditions in countries south of the Equator, including Argentina, Brazil, Australia, and the Union of South Africa. Most of the food normally exported from countries in the Southern Hemisphere goes to Europe. The drought has reduced supplies of such export commodities as meat, dairy products, wheat, and feed grains. Lack of fuel in Argentina has compelled the burning of many farm surpluses such as corn and protein meals. WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS Miss Perkins has caused no obvious distress in Washington, and I trust the folks at home will pull through. I know nothing of Mr. Schwellenbach (for Labor), and Mr. Clark is "upgraded" (I'm talking like a bureaucrat) to his office. I prophesy again there will be fewer "ideologists" and less publicity and better management in Washington jobs from now on. I think a couple other cabinet members have their bags packed. There was an incident in Washington the other day that was impressive. The President came up to the Hill and pinned on the 100th Congressional Medal of Honor. The same condition, we hope, will prevail during June and July despite increasing demands. However, as the major seasonal crops come in during August and on into September and October the labor requirements will rise sharply and critical shortages will develop. We will need hundreds of volunteers at that time." The number of Mexican nationals and prisoners of war workers allocated to Orange county is far below the estimated needs. The first batch of German prisoners of war arrived last week at the camp established between here and Garden Grove and they will work in the citrus groves during the coming months. The camp is a branch of the one established at Pomona and is under the direction of Major Ralph E. Poe, officer in charge of prisoner activities in the Pomona area. The camp was established at the request of the citrus industry because of the unavailability of other workers. Major Poe declared that the prisoners will be required to accomplish the same daily quotas as civilians and that they will be paid 80 cents a day in accordance with the provisions of the Geneva convention. There will be no pay, however, he emphasized, if the required daily quota of work is not reached. Major Poe also warned civilians to stay away from groves where the prisoners are working and explained that there will be absolutely no fraternization between civilians and prisoners. At the end of the day's work the prisoners will be returned to the stockade where they will be fed and slept. Their menus will consist of food with low ration point value and "scarce" foods will not be included in their diet. nificant thing was that 48 hours before Jake Lindsay got his medal in Washington, he was with his division in Czechoslovakia. I call that America; maybe I should say America from now on. SHIP REPAIRS Navy Secretary James Forrestal has made it clear that the ship's repair situation on the Pacific coast has become extremely serious. The fact that the shipyard labor shortage out here made it necessary for the wounded aircraft carrier Franklin to travel all the way to Brooklyn for repairs gives a clear picture of the gravity of the problem. and a very few Democrats, standing around with needles thread hoping to save it. The selection of Clinton Anderss Secretary of Agriculture is everyone; I haven't heard native comment. He is one He is from the west.

I prophesy again there will be fewer "ideologists" and less publicity and better management in Washington jobs from now on. I think a couple other cabinet members have their bags packed. There was an incident in Washington the other day that was impressive. The President came up to the Hill and pinned on the 100th Congressional Medal of Honor given an infantryman in this war. It went to T/Sgt. Jake Lindsay of Mississippi, a slim lad, and if you saw him in street clothes, he'd be just another American boy. What he did was stand off a tank attack or so single handed, and then when his ammunition gave out he charged a German squad of eight men, killed three with his crew and took three prisoners. That wasn't all the citation. I'm just giving the general idea. He looks like any boy who says "how many gallons" at the filling station. What I'm leading up to is this. I've seen German soldiers, with Prussian-bred officers treating them like dirt and striking them with canes when they put them over jumps in the training camps. The President of the United States came down to pin the medal on this boy in a very simple ceremony; the Chief of Staff, General Marshall, acted as his personal escort to the rostrum and read the citation, and looked as comfortable and homely as an old shoe, and when the party walked out, the boy got a greater ovation than either Marshall or the President, and both of them are popular on the Hill. Another sig- SHIP REPAIRS Navy Secretary James Forrestal has made it clear that the ship repair situation on the Pacific coast has become extremely serious. The fact that the shipyard labor shortage out here made it necessary for the wounded aircraft carrier Franklin to travel all the way to Brocklyn for repairs gives a clear picture of the gravity of the problem. Victory in Europe has caused many shipyard workers to leave their jobs and seek employment in peacetime industries. The result is that just at the time when the West coast is entering the most crucial period of the war it is losing desperately needed manpower. The Navy urges men to stick to their work, or if their job is completed at one place, to accept other war work in that area. Even if, for some reason, a man cannot work in a shipyard, there are many other essential industries in need of men. More drivers for highway freight carriers must be had if essential war supplies are to be kept moving. The fact that millions of tons of war supplies move daily by this means of transportation indicates its extreme importance to the war effort. The main thing is for workers to stay on the job. This is not the time to "call it quits;" rather it is the time to work harder than ever. It's been estimated that the United States will have at least 500,000 private, commercial and military planes in active service by 1950.
