Thursday, October 25, 1945 A SALUTE to AMERICA'S CREED I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies. BUY BONDS TO HELP BRING THEM HOME! THE AMERICAN NAVY Sing a song in praise of Jack the Sailor, Sing a song about the Jolly Tars, How Jack fought in victories dearly bought Our history plainly shows, What he did in glorious days gone by America still can do. When on land he makes a mighty stand And keeps our foemen back; Why in our Glory do we tower? What is the secret of our power? It is the Navy, the American Navy That keeps our foes at bay; The Grand old song, "America rules the waves" We still can sing today. We have a navy—a fighting navy, Our neighbors know that's true, And it keeps them in their place When they know they've got to face The lively gallant lads In navy blue.

Credit Bureau AL RAYMOND, Manager Bank of America Bldg. Phone 2248 Pfc. A. H. Altheide Gets Purple Heart Because a Jap sniper on Okinawa apparently underestimated how fast Private First Class Arthur H. Altheide of Anaheim could crawl despite a serious hip wound, the 21-year old Infantryman escaped. He told the story in an interview at Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco, where he arrived after evacuation to this country. Private Altheide, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Altheide of Route 4, Anaheim, was overseas eight months with the famous 96th Infantry "Deadeye" division. He joined it at Okinawa after basic training in the Infantry Replacement Center at Camp Roberts, California. The former southern California ranch hand, who won the Combat Infantry Badge for exemplary conduct in action against the enemy, was a Browning Automatic rifleman. He knows for sure of one Jap machine gun crew his BAR silenced, he said, and there were many others on which it gave heavy-duty assistance to his comrades. Private Altheide was shot in the left hip by a Jap sniper as his company was moving up for an early morning attack. "The firing was pretty heavy right there," he recalled, "so my platoon called for some smoke shells to give us a curtain. That seemed to be the only way our casualties could be moved." "The shells came, all right, but the sniper who got me kept peeping away through the smoke. However, he was peppering at where I had been—not where I was: I crawled out of that spot. Colonists Invade Rose Bowl; Face Glendale Hoovers With a Tustin scalp tucked securely under their belt, the Colonists of Anaheim high face Pasadena-ward Saturday. They're Rose Bowl bound, these hustling gridiron huskies who hunger for Glendale's vaunted Hoover high as a real test of the speed, skill and stick-to-it-iveness which has brought victory in the first two games of the 1945 season. The hide of the Valencia Tiger was the first trophy tacked to the wall of the sturdy Colonists' trophy room this season, following a 14-6 broadside. Tustin tumbled, 20 to 0. Marked improvement in all phases of the game were noted in last week's victory, as contrasted with the opening game. If continued, Coach Hopkins' proteges have a good chance of bringing back the Rose Bowl laurels, come the week-end. Good Pheasant Season Looms A banner season looms for Orange county pheasant hunters, according to Anaheim sportsmen. Birds are plentiful in the area immediately adjoining the city; they report. It is not uncommon to see birds almost at the city limits, and ring necks crossing the road two or three miles out are a common sight to motorists. The pheasant season opens Nov. The firing was pretty heavy right there," he recalled, "so my platoon called for some smoke shells to give us a curtain. That seemed to be the only way our casualties could be moved. "The shells came, all right, but the sniper who got me kept peeping away through the smoke. However, he was peppering at where I had been—not where I was: I crawled out of that spot as fast as I could, and he never came close to me." Private Altheide received the Purple Heart for his wound. Receives Discharge From Army Service Corporal Joseph P. McCall of Anaheim received his honorable discharge from the Anti-Aircraft Artillery on October 19. Corporal McCall served 2 years and 9 months and saw action in the southwest Pacific. He is the husband of the former Mary Hutain of Anaheim and before his induction was employed by Mutual Citrus Corp. He and his wife are now residing at 408½ South Palm. Robert I. Jayne to Be Home Soon With Army Discharge With a traditional "well done" from Cdr. Ralph R. Humes, USN, he has presented orders preparatory to honorable discharge for Robert I. Jayne, radarman, second class, USNR, in occupied waters off Ominato, Japan. He is the husband of Mrs. Mary Garr Jayne, 526 Avenue "A", Redondo Beach, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry S. Jayne, 125 North Olive street, Anaheim. He has had 20 months sea duty since induction Oct. 2, 1943, and expects to return home within the next few weeks. Aboard the USS Savo Island when commissioned Feb. 3, 1944, Jayne has served in his ship's Combat Information Center. The Savo Island prowled in quest of the enemy in every operational zone from the New Hebrides north to the Aleutians. Her bridge wears 65 "meat balls" for aerial victories, and three silhouettes for Japanese surface warcraft sunk during nearly every major assault operation from the Palaus to Okinawa, including three initial landings in the Philippines and the famous Battle for Leyte Gulf. Season Looms A banner season looms for Orange county pheasant hunters, according to Anaheim sportsmen. Birds are plentiful in the area immediately adjoining the city; they report. It is not uncommon to see birds almost at the city limits, and ring necks crossing the road two or three miles out are a common sight to motorists. The pheasant season opens Nov. 20 and runs to Nov. 25. Shooting starts at 10 a.m. opening day and at sunrise the remainder of the season, ending a half-hour after sunset. The daily limit is two cock birds per person, or a total season's bag of 10. Quail are rather scarce in the immediate vicinity of Anaheim, but more plentiful at distances of 50 to 100 miles. The season opens Nov. 20 and extends through Dec. 15. The quail limit is 10 birds a day, or 20 a week. Irvine Lake Gets State Duck Permit Orange county is the only county in southern Callifornia in which a commercial hunting license has been issued up to mid-October, the state division of fish and game reports. Among the nine such permits for 1945-46 season granted to organizations in seven counties is one obtained by the Stevenson Lake corporation, Irvine lake. The waterfowl season opens on such areas in accordance with the reguar season, Nov. 2. However, shooting is restricted to opening and closing days, Saturdays, Sundays, Wednesdays and legal holidays. Amnesia Not Cheap Disease In City Court If you're handed a ticket for a traffic violation in Anaheim, don't let it slip your mind. Police Judge Frank Tausch doesn't have much patience with an absent-minded offender. Two defendants appeared before him last Friday morning. Each had "forgotten" to appear on the date their notices called for. One was aborut a month late, and the officers had picked him up on a warrant and he had posted bond. It cost him a $25 fine, which he paid. The other was two days late. He got off with a $20 fine." The Savo Island prowled in quest of the enemy in every operational zone from the New Hebrides north to the Aleutians. Her bridge wears 65 "meat balls" for aerial victories, and three silhouettes for Japanese surface warcraft sunk during nearly every major assault operation from the Palaus to Okinawa, including three initial landings in the Philippines and the famous Battle for Leyte Gulf. Delwin McGregor Sees Much Action ON THE USS CABOT—Delwin S. McGregor, aviation ordnanceman, third class, Anaheim, served on this aircraft carrier which took a leading part in the battles that led to the defeat of Japan. The Cabot saw action in the Marshalls, at Truk, the Palaus, New Guinea, in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Battle for Leyte Gulf, at Guam, Luzon, Lingayen Gulf, and Indo-China, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and raids on Tokyo and other Japanese homeland cities. The late Ernie Pyle was aboard during a Tokyo raid and the Iwo invasion and described the life of the crew in his columns. Kenneth Burden on USS Kitkin Bay ON THE USS KITKIN BAY—Kenneth Keith Burden, seaman first class, Anaheim, served on this aircraft carrier when she helped in the occupation of the main Japanese Islands, Honshu and southern Hokkaido. While surrender negotiations were being carried on, planes from the Kitkin Bay patrolled overhead and parachuted supplies to prisoners of war camps. His ship entered Ominato Naval Base after the surrender and helped in the occupation. If you drive, don't drink; if you drink, don't drive." Wisdom of that axiom is impressed rather forcibly on offenders who appear before Judge Tausch. Fines of $150 were imposed on several who have come before him recently on drunken driving charges. Thirty-day suspended jail sentences were appended as sort of a bargain offer. Hizzoner doesn't believe in mixing gas and alky. Employees of the Kirby shoe store recently reported to police that someone was on the roof of their building. Officer Rude found a woman from a nearby building using the roof as a convenient place to sweep a rug. An automobile stolen during a public dance here Friday night was recovered by Santa Ana police there the following day, Anaheim authorities were advised. The car belonged to a Santa Ana man. DORSETT IS VISITING C. P. Dorsett, Center street sporting goods dealer, left last Friday to visit relatives near Fresno. The trip is for the combined reasons of catching up with his deer hunting and to recuperate from a three-week illness. Mrs. Dorsett is in charge of the store during her husband's absence.
