Progressive Woman Starts Growing Business With Olive Sewing Guild Advancing from a tiny business with two employees to an industry with a $3000-a-month payroll—that is the story of one of Anaheim’s newest industries, the Olive Sewing Guild, 110 East Center street. In July of 1944, three Olive women decided to band together and accept a few personal sewing orders from friends and relatives in the near vicinity. However, in a few months their work had achieved such popularity that their founder, Mrs. Sarah Ash, began to contemplate placing their business on an industrial scale. And as the business increased she became even more serious about the group’s advancement, until, in April, 1945, the Olive Sewing Guild moved to its present plant and started its commercial business with 25 sewing-machines in operation. Now, still with the same unprepossessing name, the Olive Sewing Guild is a growing industrial concern, manufacturing women’s and children’s wear on a wholesale basis. A total of 35 women, working 40 hours a week, comprise the concern's staff. Mrs. Ash, who is president of the company, says that within a year’s time she expects the business to be doubled, and to be manufacturing under their own label, with an outlet store opened in Anaheim as soon as conditions permit. Although the plant’s turnout will increase greatly now that materials are again available in more variety and quantity, the guild has never closed a day, even throughout the wartime period when materials were relatively unavailable. Garments made by the Guild sewers are sold in leading stores throughout the country, with their special line of hand-made infants’ wear available only in the most exclusive shops in leading cities. Six women devote full time to school rivalry Gets Entirely ‘Too Hot!’ Over-exuberance of youth... an excess of school pride... just plain itchin' for a scrap? Whatever be the cause, school authorities and officers of the law are determined to break up a practice which is becoming a nuisance to them, and which constitutes defacement of public property. Rival high schools of the district, recently have found the school letter of their most hated rival burned on their lawns. Names purporting to be those of the “ringleaders” of the bands committing the acts are in the hands of officers. Unless the practice is discontinued, it is warned, school or law officials will act, singularly or in unison. Veterans Needed For Reenlistment In Regular Army Veterans who now reenlist for the regular army will hit the jackpot for sums up to one thousand. Assistance League To Hold Country Fair The Anaheim auxiliary of the Orange County Assistance league is planning a glorified countryside fair for Thursday. Not far away... Veterans Needed For Reenlistment In Regular Army Veterans who now reenlist for the regular army will hit the jackpot for sums up to one thousand dollars cash, it was revealed yesterday, as Lt. Col. John L. Alt-house, commanding officer of the Los Angeles military personnel procurement service, announced that the newly-passed "voluntary recruitment act of 1945" has gone into effect. Under the terms of the new law, men who enroll for service in the peace-time army are paid a variety of cash benefits. These include mustering-out pay, which is $200 for men who have at least three months previous service, and $300 for men with overseas service. Other payments now made to men who reenlist include bonuses of $50 for each year of previous service, and travel pay of 5 cents per mile for each mile of travel from the place of reenlistment to the soldier's home, and return. Col. Althouse predicted the new inducements would attract large numbers of ex-soldiers back into the ranks of the peacetime army. He pointed out that men now volunteering are permitted to select their own branch of service as well as the area in which they will serve. Men who reenlist within 30 days of their discharge are also reappointed to their former army rank. Special benefits are also thrown into the pot for married men. By the new congressional act, family allowances will also be paid to anyone who now reenlists. Volunteers may enroll for periods of one year, 18 months, two years, and three years, and the benefits of the G.I. Bill of Rights are granted to all men now signing up for the regular army. Local recruiting office is located at room 302, city hall, Santa Ana. Open daily 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Saturday at noon, all day Sunday. VOLUNTEER POLICEMAN An unidentified army officer became a volunteer member of the Anaheim Police department last Saturday night. He stopped an automobile driv- activities, escaped to Russia and was later returned to a high governmental position in France while Petain, who only did what he thought best for his country, paid the supreme sacrifice. "General Marshall is asking for a large standing army and President Truman suggests a military training program for our youth in order to maintain peace. Of whom are they afraid? Not Germany or Japan; they are both smashed. Only Russia then is left. We must not allow ourselves to be so compromised that she can finagle us into another war." Mr. Lebedeff concluded his talk by saying, "Each individual represents a piece of granite which occupied a certain place in the edifice of the United States government—hence the government is only as strong as its people. We are the ones who elect our leaders. It is our duty to choose those who make the United States interests paramount and who carry the name and glory and prestige of our country to the high places as it should be carried." Mr. Lebedeff conducted a question period after his lecture and during this period he scored what he called our "Hollywood Communists," who beat upon their breasts and proclaim their universal brotherhood while retaining all the comforts their high salaries provide. The lecture was preceded by a luncheon in Mr. Lebedeff's honor and presided over by Mrs. Eva Boyd. Mrs. B. A. Arnold, president of the Orange County Republican Women's club, welcomed the guests and presented Mrs. Eastman. Pledge of allegiance was led by Mrs. Roberts, and was followed by a prayer by Mrs. J. J. Dwyer. Please phone your local, society or personal news items to The Gazette. Call 2206. Local recruiting office is located at room 302, city hall, Santa Ana.

VOLUNTEER POLICEMAN An unidentified army officer became a volunteer member of the Anaheim Police department last Saturday night. He stopped an automobile driven by Elmer J. Jones of Fullerton, relieved Jones of his keys and called Officers Vipond and Miranda. Jones, was booked at police headquarters and later released on bond to appear in city court at 9:30 o'clock next Saturday morning.

The Ship—Why He Is Known as 'She' Every sailor speaks of his ship as "she," without thought of the reason. Some facetiously say a vessel is feminine because she requires constant painting, because it takes men to handle her, and because in port she has a "husband"—an agent who handles business ashore. There are others who say that because a ship has a waist, bonets, laces, stays, scarfs, combings, jewels and earrings, and often has a "bustle" about her, the gender properly is feminine. Femininity cannot be accounted for by the gender of the word itself. "Ship" is masculine in French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, and possess no sex in Teutonic and Scandinavian. During the 17th and 18th centuries vessels were merchantmen, men-of-war, Indiamen, and the like. Even as early as 1426 a historian recounting the battle of Agincourt said "Euery ship wayed his anker"; 150 years later a treatise mentions that "in a shype the Rudder ought to be not lesse than may suffise to direct hys course." Along about the time that Shakespeare was picturing a "Shippe boaring the moon with her maine mast," a ship master entered in his dairy a note that "wee mette a great Dutch shippe neare Nassapore Point. He wore a Flagg." As late as 1784, the authors of the famous "Spectator Papers" recognized the masculinity of vessels, writing that "the last (ship) . . . swallowed up within sight of his own shore."
