Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions. When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! MACARTHUR ON THE MOVE That intrepid soldier, General Douglas MacArthur, who has promised his men that he will lead them down the streets of Tokyo—and who has an unfailing habit of keeping his promises, as the Japs learned in the Philippines—is on the move again, directing the drive of Aussie troops in the invasion of Borneo. With Okinawa lost, the Nips now feel a further tightening of the military noose around their necks, with MacArthur, their most feared Nemesis, pulling on the rope. For Borneo is not only rich in oil, rubber and other vital war resources, but at Brunei and Tarakan, now held by Allied forces, MacArthur stands at the geographic center of the enemy-smarted and boxed in, with hundreds of thousands of their troops cut off from reinforcements in the East Indies, and with the rich resources of the Indies isolated from their military machine. MacArthur is on the move—and the move is aimed at the heart of the Nip empire. Mary A. Auget, 79, Dies Suddenly On Wednesday Mary A.

When an American flyer has had to "ditch" his plane at sea, one of the first things he does is set out some colored signal flares on the water. That's so his comrades can find and rescue him. The containers for these flares are made of—yes, you guessed it—TIN, which happens to be a "precious metal" these days, because the Japs have cut off 90% of our regular tin supply. But there's enough pure tin in just 31 ordinary tin cans to make a container for one flare. So that's still another reason why it's so important for you to save every tin can that comes into your home and prepare it for collection and salvage. If you'd like to help find a flyer downed at sea— So that's still another reason why it's so important for you to save every tin can that comes into your home and prepare it for collection and salvage. If you'd like to help find a flyer downed at sea— Remember...TIN is a "precious metal" that goes to war in hundreds of ways. TIN helps make protective containers for blood plasma, medicines, foods. TIN goes into every field telephone and radio, into every cannon, machine gun, and hand grenade. Practically everything that rolls, flies, fights, or that feeds, heals, or saves our men—needs TIN! And America's only "tin mines" are in your kitchens!
