Carroll of this city is one of a group of enlisted men recently commissioned as second lieutenants following graduation from the infantry officer candidates' school in the European theater of operations. Immediately after his graduation he was assigned as an infantry platoon leader. He was a member of the fourth class to complete the prescribed course. Modernization of Stores Discussed At Retail Meeting Modernization of store fronts and interiors with an eye to customer appeal and service was the theme of Robert Fields' talk Tuesday morning when members of the retail division of the Chamber of Commerce met Tuesday for the second of its monthly breakfasts at the Parker House cafe. Herb Eldred, chairman, presided. A prominent Los Angeles architect, Fields discussed the necessity and value of attracting customers by the proper use of display and urged that merchants pay more attention to the outside appearance of their stores. Merchants should be forward looking and should figure their investment on potential sales, he said, as he stressed the necessity of proper automobile parking facilities for patrons. He spoke of the new materials available for store design such as glass, wood veneers, acoustic materials, flourescent lighting and color combinations. The speaker was introduced by E. W. Moeller, secretary of the Anaheim Fails To Meet Seventh War Bond Quota With the Seventh War Bond drive officially closing this Saturday night all prospects are the Anaheim, for the first time in wartime history, will not meet the quota, Paul H. Demaree, chairman, stated today as he announced that up to last Saturday night only $1,699,697 worth of bonds had been sold in the Anaheim district that roughly comprises the same territory as the Anaheim Union High school district. This figure includes all bonds sold through Anaheim issuance agencies such as banks, buildings and loans and the postoffice and includes payroll deductions for local residents working outside the district in plants such as Douglas and Vultee Aircraft and the shipyards. Anaheim has only reached a percent of its "E" bond quota of $467,000. Individual purchases of bonds other than "E" series amount to only $331,000 while the quota is $497,000. In all other war bond drives Anaheim has not only met its quota but has gone well over the top. There are still a few days left in which to buy bonds that we count toward Anaheim's quota. Mr. Demaree said in urging residents to "dig down deep" for them and women who are giving their lives on the Pacific battlefronts. HOME FROM BERKELEY Miss Pamela Van Buren of South Kroeger street has returned to Anaheim for the summer months from the University of California at Berkeley where she has just completed her honeymoon. Rev. Earl Berg, superintendent, and Miss Evelyn Reeves, principal, report that an interesting program has been planned and that certificates and special honors will be awarded the deserving students. Projects accomplished during the past two weeks will be on exhibition. Several special features have been held at the church school during the past week. Last Friday was "watermelon" day and at that time the young people consumed 700 pounds of watermelon. Monday morning was visiting day and Shirley Dinsdale and Judy Splinters, popular ventriloquist team from Hollywood, appeared on the program. Today the throng of young people went to the city park for a playday at which time they enjoyed a penny scramble, games, free swim in the pool and picnic lunch. The program was concluded with a baseball game. The church school has been sponsored by the Ministerial Union and church leaders and parents are expressing their gratefulness to the corps of teachers from the Lockman Foundation who have made this year's school such an outstanding success. Pioneer Settler Dies in Long Beach Hospital Death claimed 83-year-old Albert Muckenthaler on June 17 at the Long Beach Community hospital and his wide circle of friends in Anaheim are mourning the passing of an old pioneer who grew up on the plains of Kansas when Indians still roamed the countryside and who came to Anaheim in 1909. For the last few years he has been making his home in Long Beach and is survived by his wife, Augusta, and six children. Settling here 34 years ago he purchased 10 acres of land from the Dominican Sisters. It was located northwest of St. Catherine's Military school and it was here that he erected the home and raised his family. He was born in Fergus Falls, Minn., in 1862 and lived there until he was 8 years old when his family moved to eastern Kansas where they settled on the Kansas river just south of St. Mary's. He and his family pay more attention to the outside appearance of their stores. Merchants should be forward looking and should figure their investment on potential sales, he said, as he stressed the necessity of proper automobile parking facilities for patrons. He spoke of the new materials available for store design such as glass, wood veneers, acoustic materials, flourescent lighting and color combinations. The speaker was introduced by E. W. Moeller, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Eldred appointed a nominating committee to select a slate of officers for the retail division in the coming year. Appointed were H. E. W. Barnes, August Schumacher and Mrs. Mabel Masterson. The "General Pershing", medium-heavy army tank, is armed with a 90mm gun, two .30 machine guns and one caliber .50 machine gun. Food purchases for the army this year will be 20 per cent above that of 1944. What's the good news about the farm telephone? Settling here 34 years ago he purchased 10 acres of land from the Dominican Sisters. It was located northwest of St. Catherine's Military school and it was here that he erected the home and raised his family. He was born in Fergus Falls, Minn., in 1862 and lived there until he was 8 years old when his family moved to eastern Kansas where they settled on the Kansas river just south of St. Mary's. He and his family experienced many hardships as they helped to build up the great Kansas plains, and they had many a harrowing experience with the Indians who roamed the territory. The deceased made four trips to California before finally settling down in Anaheim. During his first trip in the '80's he helped build the one-time famous Hotel Del Campo that was located near the old opera house. Returning to Kansas he married Augusta Ebert of Flush, Kan., and in 1898 they came to Anaheim where he sought to regain his health. Besides his widow he is survived by three sons, Walter M. of Fullerton, Lawrence A. of Anaheim and Martin A. of Balboa; three daughters, Mrs. Frank Reding of Kansas, Mrs. Fred Hays of Anaheim and Mrs. Owen Adair of Long Beach; 25 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Additionally needed hospital space for American wounded in the southwest Pacific is being made available through prefabricated housing units. Accidents will decrease when more drivers look out for the road ahead and fewer for the cop behind. What's the good news about the farm telephone? Q I've been hearing a good deal about farm telephone service lately. Can you tell me something about it? A Yes, it's a live subject with telephone people. They're doing a lot of work on it right now, though the needs of war come first, of course. Q What do you have in mind? A Two main points. One, improve the present service; two, extend service to families not now reached by existing lines. Q What are some of the new ideas? A Among them are new types of wire for rural areas; a way to send telephone conversations over electric power lines; and possibly a radio-telephone system using very short wave lengths, to reach people in remote spots. Q Has there been much farm telephone growth? A Since 1935, more than half a million additional farm families have had telephones put in—nearly 400,000 since 1940. But there is still much room for improvement, so every means will be explored to make farm service still better and easier to get.
