Ana, when an enthusiastic Captain Jack Wormser of the Armed Forces Radio Service headquarters in Santa Monica, called Donald D. Britton of the Radio Electronic Engineering company of this city, which is sponsoring the contests, to make arrangements to send transcriptions of the student programs to all United States troops in occupied territories. Arrangements with the radio headquarters are now underway, Britton announced. The transcriptions will reach from Honolulu to China, from the Alaskan group to Argentina, and from the Atlantic to Germany. With the accomplished finesse and artistry of professionals, five young actors representing Anaheim and Orange High schools, interpreted the second installment of the book re-written for a 15 minute radio broadcast by Britton who also composes spicy store commercials which incorporate novel puns and tongue twisting double-talk. Cast members included Frank Meade of Orange portraying the part of the bad boy; Bob Welsh of Anaheim, by request, giving a return performance in the role of "Pa"; Tommy Brown of Anaheim as the bad boy's chum, a new character in the radio program; Melvin Bean of Anaheim as the proprietor, and Darline Morris, also of Anaheim, portraying "Ma." It was revealed that Captain Wormser heard the student broadcast by accident. He didn't know that Britton, whom he had worked with in the Armed Forces Radio Service and Tokio and Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands four years ago, was sponsor of the series with the co-owner of the Radio Electronic Engineering Company, Henry Neyenhlus, also a returned veteran, who is in charge of advertising, until he heard Britton's voice on the long distance wire.

On Saturday evening last a discharged soldier from Arizona successfully robbed the till of the store of Mr. Spurgeon at Santa Ana of $82. He had been loafing around the store during the afternoon and seeing Mr. Spurgeon out for a moment, hastily robbed the drawer and deposited the coin in his shoe. He later was arrested by Mr. Spurgeon and Mr. English who found the money in his shoe.

Deep-Sea Fishing Enjoyed in Mexico Dr. and Mrs. H. G. Carlin of this city, H. O. Easton of Rt. 4, Anaheim, Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Illsley of Fullerton, and Arthur Anderson of Placentia, spent two most enjoyable weeks at Mazatlan, Mexico, deep-sea fishing and enjoying the sights of our neighboring country. The vacationists returned to their homes last Sunday. Driving their car to Nogales, the party proceeded the balance of the distance by train, arriving in Mazatlan ready for a perfect two weeks of vacation time. While there, they stayed at the Hotel Velmar, where "the food is perfect and hospitality the best." The weather was delightfully cool during their stay in the southern city. Going out to sea for thirty miles, the party caught a number of swordfish, dolphin, sailfish and several marlin, the largest of the latter species being caught by Mrs. Illsley who landed a 300 pound marlin. The ladies, as ladies will, visited the shops in that city of between 38,000 and 40,000 population and report they found them full of yard goods, every conceivable style of shoes, great numbers of new American made cars and all types of canned foods as well as everything else found on the markets in this country. The women of that part of Mexico, rich as well as poor, make their dresses and such a thing as a ready to wear department in the stores is a rarity. Poverty among the peoples of that country is of the lowest level imaginable and the poorer people are living in grass huts, eating whatever they can find and otherwise barely existing. Using an extremely neat and clean living habits, their clothing spotless.

Ostrich races yesterday at rode track were witnessed by a crowd. Napoleon, the sprinter was harnessed. He drew a buggy weighing pounds and a man weighing pounds, but in spite of this swap made a half mile in a seconds over two minutes, was paced by a man on a lea. The sight was a novel and the bird was so awkward apparently out of place that difficult to believe he was fast time, until it became apparent that the wheel man had to hustle to keep from being run over. After Napoleon had covered himself with glory, Prince was trotted out, and the two birds were hitched to the buggy. They made speedy time and seemed to enjoy the sport as much as the spectators. The trainer of the birds hopes to get them down to still finer work so that the old story of ostriches outrunning the fleetest horses will be proven."
