He attended Anaheim schools. Truman Hodges, USN, Has Favorite Birthday Cake. From the far Pacific comes a kindly story of a birthday cake and a $5 bill that travelled from Anaheim to our mighty fleet and back again to the Red Cross. The story started some weeks ago when Mrs. S. W. Hodges of 406 South Vine street went to the local chapter of the American Red Cross and asked that she be helped in sending $5 to the chaplain of the ship that her son, Truman S. Hodges is serving on. Volunteers helped her compose a letter requesting that the money be used for a birthday cake for her son—a white birthday cake with chocolate frosting. Some weeks later a letter was received from the chaplain stating that Truman was given a surprise birthday party on May 23, his birthday, and that the birthday cake appeared just as specified. The money was returned with a request from Truman that it be used in Red Cross activities. Llovd Smith Enlists in Navy Llovd Smith, son of Mrs. Elsle Llovd Smith Enlists in Navy Lloyd Smith, son of Mrs. Elsle Smith of 207 Cherry street, left last Thursday to start his U. S.

His older brother, LaMarr recently returned from the Aleutian Islands where he served with the U. S. Navy for many months. Mother Hears From Son in Jap Prison Camp Mrs. Rachel Singer of 754 North Lemon street has received a card from her son, Pfc. Floyd L. Singer who has been a prisoner of war in Japan for the past year and a half. Prior to being sent to Japan he was a war prisoner in the Philippine Islands, having been taken prisoner early in 1942. The card came from Kukuoka prison camp, Honshu Island. He said that he was fine and asked for letters and photographs. Mrs. Singer says that the signature is authentic and not a Jap forgery. SERVING IN PACIFIC Elmer P. Calaway, 23, machinist's mate second class, is serving aboard the U. S. S. Sterett somewhere in the Pacific, according to word recently released. His mother, Mrs. E. P. Calaway, lives at 424 North Los Angeles street. A BOND Will Please Him Most Tuck it in a gift package chosen from our outstanding selection of Father's Day gift suggestions.
