Pfc. Bill Morris, Army Signal Corps, Moves to Paris
Mr. and Mrs. Paul A. Morris of 410 North Lemon street have received word that their son, Pfc. Bill Morris, has been transferred from London to Paris. He has been overseas for more than a year and in England was attached to a photographic headquarters company of the U.S. Army Signal corps.
Shortly before Germany surrendered he sent his family two boxes of signal corps pictures that vividly tell the story of our armies.
Iwo Jima Road Named for Local Resident
Though he died at Iwo Jima last February, the memory of First Lieutenant William A. Stevens, formerly of Anaheim, will live on for his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William A. Stevens, Sr., of Santa Ana, who have been notified by Maj. Gen. G. B. Erskine of the Third Marine division, that a road on that far away island has been named for him and for another marine lieutenant who also gave his life on the bloody battlefield.
The letter to his parents also included a photograph of the Burke-Stevens road. The order for the dedication of the road commended Lt. Stevens for repeatedly exposing himself to enemy fire to better observe the enemy position while directing naval gunfire on Japanese artillery positions. Through his direction many enemy batteries were silenced before he met his death.
The letter read in part: "I can pay this gallant marine no higher tribute than to echo the words of the order naming the road, a copy of which I am also sending you. Your son's name will not be forgotten and his devotion to duty and brave spirit will be an inspiration to all of us in the hard battles which still lie ahead."
Lt. Stevens was on his third tour of overseas duty, having served previously in Iceland and in the south Pacific.

NEW TOUR OF DUTY
Friends received week that Dr. John A commander in the U.S. Medical corps has left
Mr. and Mrs. Paul A. Morris of 410 North Lemon street have received word that their son, Pfc. Bill Morris, has been transferred from London to Paris. He has been overseas for more than a year and in England was attached to a photographic headquarters company of the U.S. Army Signal corps.
Shortly before Germany surrendered he sent his family two boxes of signal corps pictures that vividly tell the story of our armored might, the destruction of Germany and the reasons why our armies were so victorious. A whole series of pictures portray the Seventh army's fight into and for Nurnberg, shrine of the Nazi party, and the devastation that resulted from the bitter fight.
Included in the group is a picture of an underground German factory where 40 to 50 jet planes were turned out monthly. The entire group of pictures were taken around April 20, just prior to Germany's surrender.
Pfc. Morris was in London on V-E night and took part in the great celebrations. He saw the king and queen of England when they appeared before 40,000 of their subjects; heard Prime Minister Winston Churchill make a brief speech and marveled with the British at the brilliance of the lights when they were turned on. He wrote that the most impressive sight he had ever seen was famous Big Ben clock with its lights turned on.
Pfc. Morris is a graduate of Santa Ana high school and junior college and was employed at Douglas Aircraft for a year before entering the service Feb. 15, 1943. He received his basic training at Camp Livingston, La. and further training at Camp Crowder, Mo., and an army photographic school at Astoria, Long Island.

Seaman Eby received multiple shrapnel wounds on May 12 but now has returned to duty. At the time he was awarded the Purple Heart a picture was taken of him shaking hands with his captain and the picture was then forwarded to his family. He is entitled to wear seven campaign stars.
Seaman Eby enlisted in the navy in December, 1943, and took his "boot" training at Farragut, Idaho. He was at sea when his class graduated from the Anahiem union high school in June, 1943, but his diploma was forwarded to him as he had completed the required work.

The singer was none other than Edward Dunning who was director of the White Temple Methodist church choir for several years. While he didn't remember the extct dates of his residency here he did recall that it was "around the time of the earthquake". After leaving Anaheim Dunning was director of several choirs in Los Anegles churches and, according to report, was keenly interested in hearing about some of his many friends in Anaheim.
