Dr. J. C. Osher has been pulling teeth around Anaheim for a good many years. On the side, he has raised a family and now his son, Edwin, is the Methodist minister at Garden Grove. That is near enough for Rev. G. Edwin Osher to give his dad a little personal attention in his religious thinking. Not that Edwin's dad needs this attention but it won't hurt anyone. Wonder if it would make teeth come out any easier? Earl Dahlman is devoting the major part of his time to ranching now that the fishing season has come to an end. His boat is cleaned up, painted and standing idly by for the fish to start biting. Earl says his time is so taken up that none remains for the piscatorial enterprise. Weaders at home. Are these two wishes compatible? There is the $64 question. We are afraid they are not. So it behooves the people, who are still the real rulers of America, to think and forget prejudices. An old professor of our once said: "People will forgive you anything except trying to make them think." He was right. Most appropos was the advice a newspaperman of our acquaintance received one night this week via the little slip of paper that comes folded within the sweet cake served with tea at the Chinese restaurant: "Express yourself freely; heed all you hear and see." That's all there is to being a newspaperman. Earl Dahlman is devoting the major part of his time to ranching now that the fishing season has come to an end. His boat is cleaned up, painted and standing idly by for the fish to start biting. Earl says his time is so taken up that none remains for the piscatorial enterprise. We were just hoping he would need some help. On the boat—not on the ranch. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Sheridan received a very welcome telephone call on Sunday night. It seems that a Saipan buddy of T/Sgt. Ted Sheridan arrived in Los Angeles harbor on his way to New York to be discharged. This soldier boy had just left Ted on Saipan and was able to tell the folks the latest dope on how things were going. Here at home we can depend on death and taxes, on Saipan one can depend on rain and mud. Average rainfall around 90 inches. By an almost forgotten mathematical calculation we figure that to be almost 8 (eight) feet of water. Must be a pretty deep duck pond. P.S. The Sheridans were surely glad to hear some first-hand news of their son. Harry Horn's father, J. H. Horn of Calispell, Mont., got into town the first of the week by way of the Pacific Northwest and San Francisco. After visiting a sister, ill in the northwest, he decided to check on son Harry (a right smart man, Mr. Horn). In making connections by the Golden Gate Mr. Horn ran into some of the light-fingered gentry and was relieved of his luggage and overcoat. He was also hard put to it to find a place to sleep. All of which goes to show and Anaheim isn't the only place where living accommodations are on the vanishing side. Speaking for the All-Year club we wish to assure Mr. Horn that his overcoat will hardly be needed here in Anaheim—but we urge him to see some of our merchants and buy a new coat before he returns to Montana (adv.). There is not a family with a son or daughter in the armed service who is not anxious to have that loved one at home. On the other hand the government has a great investment in each one of these "units" of Uncle Sam's good right arm. The statement Most appropos was the advice a newspaperman of our acquaintance received one night this week via the little slip of paper that comes folded within the sweet cake served with tea at the Chinese restaurant: "Express yourself freely; heed all you hear and see." That's all there is to being a newspaperman. General Barker is quoted by Crossroads, the SAAAB publication, as stating upon taking over command of that base, that accuracy will not be sacrificed for sake of speed in discharging men from the service. Wisdom of that policy was brought home right here in Anaheim recently. The wife of a discharged serviceman remarked that her husband has gone back east to visit his aged parents, who had been made ill by a mixup caused by inaccuracy of his discharge papers. It seems that the husband's records had not followed him from one station to his place of discharge and, after he was out of uniform, a telegram went to peace officers of the town where his parents reside and where he had entered service, stating that he was deserter and asking that he be apprehended. The matter has been straightened out, but the fact remains that the elderly parents experienced a lot of needless worry. You're right, General Barker, accuracy is mighty important, in discharge papers, as well as elsewhere. 22 Women Listed Among 154 Pass State Bar Exams The Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California today announced that 154 men and women had passed this year's examination successfully and will be recommended to the Supreme Court for admission to practice law. Of the successful candidates, 22 are women. None among those taking the exams were from Anaheim. This is the fourth year that the committee, by special arrangement with the armed forces, has given the examination to student applicants in the service at stations wherever they were located throughout the world. The committee will move the admission of the successful applicants to make them think." He was right. Cooperative orange mark organizations announced their flicers for the coming year for annual meetings last Both Mutual Orange District and California Fruit Growers change reelected their presidents for another term. F. S. Gunn Redlands for the former Charles C. Teague for Sumner J. A. Baker of Anaheim among members of the new directors of MOD. It marks the beginning of 26th term for Teague, who been so long in southern California citrus circles that his has become a tradition in the dustry; and a fixture of agricultural matters nationally. OFFICER SINCE 1911 Teague, who planted his citrus grove at Santa Paula 1893, has been instrumental solving many of the problems of culture and marketing for formia's citrus growers. He became a member of the St board in 1911, and began his term as head of that organization in 1920. During that time, mentions of the exchange have been from 43,500 carloads to more than 100,000 annually. He has served as president of the National Council of F Cooperatives, and now is a director of that organization... Also is a trustee of the Am Institute of Cooperation; director of the Agricultural Council California, which he serves years as president; director California State Chamber Commerce; member of the regents of the state university and was a member of the There is not a family with a son or daughter in the armed service who is not anxious to have that loved one at home. On the other hand, the government has a great investment in each one of these "units" of Uncle Sam's good right arm. The statement of Admiral King the other day that our fleet could not fight a major engagement gave many people a bit of a chill—even though some of their loved ones were still in uniform! We are still in a gigantic poker game with the seeds of the third world war on the table—some think they are already planted—every trump possible must be kept in Uncle's hand. We sincerely want peace. We also sincerely want our solRooms in Homes Under OPA Control Warning that rooms rented in private homes must be registered with OPA and are subject to all provisions of federal rent control regulations, with the exception of that governing eviction under certain conditions, is voiced by Wayne Cardon, assistant district director. Cardon points out such rooms occupy the same status as hotel rooms and are subject to all regulations except that where a private resident rents not more than two rooms in his home, he may require the removal of his tenant without taking steps which OPA requires otherwise. PARENTS OF A SON Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Nichel, 512½ East Sycamore street, Anaheim, are parents of a baby son born at Santa Ana Community hospital Nov. 20. Rationing of All Foods But Sugar Comes to an End Yes, rationing is ended, hoo-ray! That applies to everything—that is, everything but sugar. So don't tear up your rationing book quite yet, unless you want to do without that popular item of diet. Rationing of meats, fats and oils came to an end a minute after midnight last Monday, as result of a conference the preceding Wednesday night between Chester Bowles, OPA administrator, and Clinton Anderson, secretary of agriculture. However, so far as Anaheim housewives are concerned it has made little difference: Butter, especially, remains hard to find, and will remain so for some time to come, retailers are told. Cooking fats also are far from over-plantful; bacon and some choice cuts of fresh meat, likewise. Housewives are requested by OPA officials to turn in their red tokens to their retailer, to be forwarded through his bank to OPA headquarters. "AHEIM GAZETE" "In The Heart of the Valencia Orange District" ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1945 BIG BUYERS MAY RESCUE BOND QUOTA Unless larger corporations come to the rescue when purchase of government bonds in the present Victory Loan is made available to them Saturday for the first time, Anaheim is headed for failure to make its million dollar quota. This fact was apparent Wednesday, when total sales were announced at $219,877, slightly less than 22 per cent of the goal, with but one week of the six-week campaign remaining. Past experience has shown that "smart investors" readily take advantage of opportunity to put surplus funds into safe security offered by the government issues, and GIRL SCOUT PARTY WILL OPEN SEASON Following a period of months of comparative interest during which time the without an executive members of the Anaheim Scout council are reread and preparing for a busy Miss Florence Hilton of Los Angeles who formed connected with the Girl organization in Chicago, named to the vacancy in executive secretary's office to get an ambitious program way next Monday, with acquainted party at school cafeteria.

Past experience has shown that "smart investors" readily take advantage of opportunity to put surplus funds into safe security offered by the government issues, and campaign leaders expect that total sales will jump under impetus of corporation buying. It is pointed out, however, that never before in a local bond drive have they faced such a heavy task as at present. Response to appeals for subscriptions by individuals is much less this time than ever before in a war bond campaign. QUEEN NOMINEES Nomination for honor of Victory Queen among high school girls closed Monday, with 15 nominees being named during the week nominations were open. An air of mystery surrounds the contest, with Chairman Paul Demare declaring that no announcement of individual standings will be made until next week. Votes are allowed on each $25 of bond purchases. The winner will be crowned at an inaugural ball to be held at the high school. Exact date of the event has not yet been decided. Demare said, but it probably will be Friday night, December 21. In addition, the successful candidate will be awarded a tour of a Hollywood movie studio, with a companion of her choosing. Names of the candidates were announced yesterday as follows: Elva Clasen, Joan Crenshaw (Continued on Page 6).

A suit for $25,050 damages filed in Superior Court by Walter Flockton of Santa Ana, father of Harry C. Flockton of Anaheim, against Jack Bastin, is outgrowth of an automobile accident last August 22 which is alleged to have caused the death of Walter Flockton's wife, Mrs. Ethel Flockton.

The remaining $5050 is demanded for hospital and funeral costs resulting from her death and medical expense Flockton alleges resulted from injuries he sustained in the accident. Alert Taxi Man Aids a Soldier Find His Folks Importance of road-side mail boxes bearing names of their owners was demonstrated in Anaheim recently when a returned soldier approached Lyman Nisely, owner of a fleet of taxi cabs, and explained that he was seeking his parents, who recently had moved to an orange ranch near this city. The soldier had lost their address. "What is their name?" Nisely inquired, and when told, exclaimed, "I know right where they live. It happens I saw a man painting their name on their mail box today." Nisely explained that, because he does much of the delivery of telegrams in the outlying sections and often is put to extra trouble because many mail boxes are without names, it is but natural that a box with a newly-painted name interests him. Man From Scene Of Bus Tragedy Visiting in City News of the bus accident, which claimed the lives of a number of school children when the vehicle plunged into a lake in Washington last Monday, was received with more than ordinary sorrow by at least one person in Anaheim. He is E. L. Boyd; who is visiting his sister, Mrs. J. R. Carpenter, 322 Melrose street. His home is in Chelan, Wash., toward which the bus was headed, and his daughter is a teacher in the public schools there. "When the names of the victims are made public, I probably will recognize most of them," he commented. The road from which the bus plunged after striking a rock lodged by a heavy snowfall, hugs the side of a mountain. Boyd explained. Surface of the water is at 1100 feet elevation, but the bottom of the lake is 400 feet below sea level, giving the water a depth of 1500 feet. The bus rested on a ledge in about 200 feet of water.

GIRL SCOUTS' PARTY WILL OPEN SEASON Following a period of six months of comparative inactivity during which time they were without an executive secretary, members of the Anaheim Girl Scout council are reregistering and preparing for a busy season. Miss Florence Hilton, native of Los Angeles who formerly was connected with the Girl Scouts organization in Chicago, has been named to the vacancy in the executive secretary's office and will get an ambitious program underway next Monday, with a get-acquainted party at Fremont school cafeteria. The affair will begin at 7:30 p.m. Party leaders and assistants BUS SERVICE INSIDE CITY A POSSIBILITY Possibility of public bus service for the various sections of Anaheim is seen in plans for the future as unfolded at a meeting of the transit committee of the chamber of commerce Monday night. Elmer Hunt of Garden Grove revealed that he has an application before the state railroad commission for a permit to inaugurate bus service between Huntington Beach and Anaheim, via Garden Grove.

Twenty-three troops make up the Girl Scouts council here. Police Seek Man With Pocket Sag If you notice Anaheim police officers being a little over-interested in any pocket that sages more than customary, it is just that they're heeding a request of the sheriff's office to help locate the person who entered a home on Harbor boulevard near Santa Ana Sunday afternoon and walked off with 100 silver dollars.

DeF BARKER "Speed with care at SAAAB" Head of SAAAB Pledges Speed With Accuracy Release of men from the armed service through the Santa Ana Army Air base will continue with speed and efficiency that has characterized it in the past, Brig. Gen. John DeF Barker announced, as he assumed command of one of the largest air force installations in the country last week. "At no time will we sacrifice accuracy for speed," General Barker added. "The future of these men is too important to be passed over lightly in preparation of their final papers. Great care will be exercised that all GI's are discharged properly." DAY AND A PART Men are being discharged at the base now within 33 hours after arrival, in one of the fastest separation processes in the country. SAAAB established its reputation for speed under direction of Barker's predecessor, Brig. Gen. Arthur E. Easterbrook, "the GI's general," who is retiring at end of a military career which spanned both world wars. The 48-year-old General Barker was assigned here from Washington, where he held a staff position in the operations division of the war department general staff. A veteran flyer with more than 4000 hours in the air, he has been in the army as a pilot since December, 1917. SAW UNIFICATION WORK The new SAAAB commander is a strong believer in unification of command, a subject which is attracting much attention in official circles and among the general public at the present time. "When complete unification was inaugurated in North Africa under General Eisenhower, I had an opportunity to see how much better it functioned than did a number of individual and diverse chambers of commerce Monday night. Elmer Hunt of Garden Grove revealed that he has an application before the state railroad commission for a permit to inaugurate bus service between Huntington Beach and Anaheim, via Garden Grove. No opposition to the move has developed, and Hunt declares that he anticipates none. His appearance before the local body was for the purpose of acquainting the members with his proposal, and "to obtain their moral support for his plans." Hunt declared that he already has sufficient equipment to inaugurate the service to and from Huntington Beach as soon as final approval is received. It is possible the first trip may be made prior to Christmas or at least by the first of the year. ROUTE NOT SET Exact route into the city has not been decided, but Hunt said he may extend it to touch either the northern or eastern city limits, or both, and that is can be routed to serve the new plants the General Electric corporation soon will start building here. Additional projects which he is considering include establishment of local bus transportation between the Anaheim business district (Continued on Page 6).

Segrais, chairman of the Christmas Decorations committee of the chamber of commerce, announces that approximately half of the $1800 necessary to provide the decorations has been pledged. Workers are busy seeking the additional amount. Santa Claus will arrive on East Center street in a manner of which leaders in the move for his reception have not been advised and will stage a triumphant entry immediately following turning on of the lights. The decorated portion of the business district will extend along Center from Emily to a point beyond Clementine street, and on Los Angeles a short distance north and south from Center. Mayor Charles A. Pearson will present the keys to the city to Santa during his progress through the business district. He then will continue to city park, where a program of carol singing and tableaux will be presented. Carol singers, representing various churches and the Y.M.C.A., also will tour the residential districts of the city nightly prior to Christmas, serenading all whose windows are lighted. Approximately 200 persons already have agreed to participate. They represent the following churches, in addition to the "Y": Salem Evangelical, White Temple, Methodist, Bethel Baptist, Wesley Methodist, First Church of the Nazarine, Church of Christ (Christian) and St. Michael's Episcopal.

The 28 permits issued by Building Inspector R. Nyboe up to and including Monday called for a total expenditure of $70,600. Residences, nine in number, call for well over half the total—$46,290. Seven of these are for individual investments of from $4800 to $8000 each. Activity in the automobile business is reflected by two permits calling for investment of $9500 in show rooms. One is for $6500 for a new motor car display facility and the other for alterations to an existing structure for such use. The balance is divided between construction of new industrial buildings, garages, additions and alterations to dwellings and garages and alterations to retail store buildings.
