Please reserve plates for me, my wife and children or girl friend. NAME .... NUMBER COMING .... Marked Increase In Donations For Vets Day Shown "This week showed a marked increase in donations to the finance committee for the veterans' picnic," stated the Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, finance committee member. "We are looking forward to the picnic day on August 15 in the city park with a greater optimism than ever before." Two girls teams have come forward to help out by scheduling a softball game in the city park this Saturday night at 8:15. The entire proceeds will be given to the picnic fund and tickets may be purchased for 50 cents each at the Chamber of Commerce, from William T. Wallop, at the Savings Loan and Building association; Aggles Sport shop, Pete Wisser, Swanberger's, Southern County Bank, Auto Club, the Bank of America, Al's, Embassy, and Dave Proud. The teams, which have attracted a great deal of attention, are the Buena Park Lynx and the Monterey Park Girls Local Anglers Fish for Gear Jimmy Mitchell, "popular Anaheim playboy," and Dick Soltz of Garden Grove, man about town, spent quite a weekend over July 4 at Lake Henshaw, it was revealed this week. According to the two anglers in question the "darn boat sprung a leak and sunk." However, ascertained by usually reliable sources, they got into a "tight situation, tipping 'er over. All that was saved was the refreshments, rescued by the quick thinking of Mitchell who had taken the precaution of placing them in a floatable chest: Expensive fishing gear, shirts and pants, which contained "well stacked" bill folds and valuable watches went "into the drink." Two days were spent by the dispondent duo dragging the lake. It was two fishermen from Los Angeles who finally hooked the missing garments but didn't recover the tackle. Barber shop gossip has it that Charlie Brown's knife and padlock turned up in Soltz's pocket! Florist Shop, Cleaners-Tailors Open Today A duo grand opening is being inaugurated by "Wayne's for Flowers" and Thrifty Cleaners and Tailors, two new establishments housed in the former Anaheim Red Cross chapter office, 142 East Center street, as both stores officially throw open their doors today.

Everyone is urged to witness this game, not only for the enjoyment they'll receive, but to help the veterans' picnic to be a success. "Buy two tickets," the Reverend asked, "bring the whole family in fact!" Veterans who wish to attend the picnic are requested to fill in the form which is printed in this newspaper for that purpose. This will enable the committee to know approximately how many are coming. Present-day members of the armed forces are also requested to attend. As for the picnic, it will be an all-day affair. Vic Ruedy is in charge of the sports end of it, having available all sports equipment necessary for any games the vets wish to play. He has high hopes that an army-navy softball game can be played during the afternoon with team members picked from those attending the picnic. The pool will be open all afternoon, giving the vets who wish to cool off a chance at swimming. Abe Cone, noted for the high caliber of shows he produces, is directing the entertainment program. He has engaged Sammy Lee to put on a diving exhibition in the pool and he expects several Hollywood stars to attend. "Duffy", who is chef of the Elks club and who is known as the best barbecue man in the business, will prepare the food. "This is one of the greatest citizens' events ever to be put over on the coast, or in any city anywhere," stated E. W. Moeller, secretary - manager of the city Chamber of Commerce." The enthusiasm now being showed has caused Al Raymond, finance chairman, to order for $800." Definition of a lucky man—A drunk who has lost the keys to his car. The new regular army welcomed six Anaheim boys who enlisted as a group at the Fullerton recruiting office last Tuesday. The boys had been together since childhood, growing up as close friends, so it was not surprising that they would join the service as a group. Their sports in high school were football, track and swimming; training together in and out of school and during their summer vacations, they became so inseparable as to join their country's service together. What with service schools in the army and the thirty paid-up school months of college they will earn for 18 months of service, they can't go wrong, the boys claim. Five of them attended Union high school in Anaheim, while one; Robert Bruce, attended Loyola high school in Los Angeles. They are listed as follows: Jerry Liekhus, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Liekhus, 208 S. Vine; Charles Bengochea, 17, son of Mrs. C. Mason of 207 S. Palm; James Dutzl, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Dutzl, 714 N. Zeyn; Robert Fellbaum, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Fellbaum, route 2; Anaheim; Kenneth Knapp, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Knapp, 418 S. Illinois; and Robert Bruce, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bruce, 807 N. Janss.

Facilities Tax Becomes Reality, Effective In Aug. The services and facilities tax became a reality when Ordinance No. 703 was passed at a meeting of the city council in the council chambers of the City Hall last Tuesday night. This ordinance, which fixes a charge for services and facilities in connection with the sanitation and sewerage system, provides for the garbage and trash disposal for the city, becomes effective as of today. The tax will be added to the monthly bills submitted by the Public Service department, the funds gained to be used to the best advantage for sanitation and sewerage. Public opinion of this tax alternates on the usual pro and con basis. The results of a canvass among several local merchants and various people met in and about the city had formed two main impressions. One side states that a tax of this kind is particularly necessary to any city, for people are drawn more easily to a place when it is noted for its beauty and cleanliness. This tax will help to maintain the city's standards and will, in the long run, help the city to become greater, the reputation for sanitation proving a positive drawing card. On the other hand, there are people who opined that greater efforts on housing problems by the local government instead of on taxation would show greater benefits. The question proved far more debatable than expected; but the one main interest is the welfare of the city. The city council welcomes the various opinions, taking up each question as it comes along and working it out. The sanitation tax was hashed and re-hashed by the council and in the end it was decided to be incorporated as an ordinance designed to serve the people to its best advantage. The first reading of a new ordinance providing for the annexation of uninhabited property on South Palm street was made at this meeting. Amounting to 3.29 acres, the property is to be sub-divided into home-sites, bounded by 496.84 feet of the southeast corner of Vermont and 290 feet of South Palm street. The ordinance will be set up for approval by the council next Tuesday.
