NEWS SOURCES PROCEED TO MAKE MORE NEWS Due to the fact that a large contingent of local Issak Walton anglers joined the Fullerton league for a full day and evening of sport cruiser fishing off Port Lido yesterday, it was impossible to obtain the names of this week's jack-pot winners before "deadline." Seems the Anaheim fishermen enjoyed "ladies' day" so much they decided to take another trip immediately. Our milk's adjudged the best By every trial and test.

The warning adds that you should apply for them just as soon as you're 65 years of age. Some 12 per cent of all beneficiaries lost part of the benefits coming to them under the Social Security act because they have failed to file their claims promptly. Manager of the Long Beach field of the Social Security Administration, James G. Bretherton, said this was revealed in a nation-wide survey recently. "Any loss of benefits could be completely eliminated if all wage earners covered by the law, 65 or over, will contact a Social Security Administration for the purpose of freezing their benefits whether or not they plan on retiring immediately," Bretherton said. The Long Beach field office is located at 423 Jergins Trust building. Representatives of the Social Security Administration are available for consultation in the U.S. Employment Service offices on the indicated days for this area: Santa Ana at 501 West Fifth street on Thursdays and Fridays after 1:30 p.m. These representatives will be able to assist persons in matters relative to the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program. SHORT SHORTS Imagine finding a 600 x 16 tire and tube deposited in your chickenhouse? That's what happened to the proper owner, for the entire load was transferred to his office. "Why pick on MY chickenhouse," asked Morales! The Smith-Reafsnyder furniture company reported a bundle of chromium-plated legs removed from the premises last Friday. There were 24 legs in all, valued at $40 and belonging to six brand-new dinette tables. Police are checking on this now but in case the legs aren't recovered, it was suggested that the company capitalize on their loss by advertising "a recent acquisition of six dinette tables for very short people," or, "why bump into your tables at night when you can trip over them much easier?" When you're discussing inflation, speak low when Roy Titus of Falls City, Nebraska is present. Seven years ago he bought a wheelbarrow for $7.50. Today he bought a new wheel for it. Price, $14.50! The suspicious looking character standing in front of the Bank of America building last Monday between 5:45 and 6:00 p.m. was merely placed there by the Gazette for the purpose of obtaining a few statistics. Here they are folks: A total of 18 jaywalkers proceeded across Center street, even though there were two safety zones placed nearby for their convenience. As far as things went for those who DID use the safety zone, nine drivers refused to stop for them and at least two pedestrians received "close calls" while half-way across. Two vehicles halted in observance of the state ruling at the safety zones, permitting a safe passage of three children across the street. Their license numbers are 35N503 and a taxi, 4109. Congratulations to these two drivers. No one payed much attention to a large sack lying on North American Legion Convention To Draw 150,000 Vets Commander Henry Dubois of the city's post of American Legion announced that their eight local delegates returned last week, following the four-day State American Legion convention held in San Francisco from Sunday, August 18, to Wednesday, August 21. The delegates, which were chosen by the members of the Anaheim post, included Commander Henry DuBois, who is also a member of the local post's board of directors; Cliff Jones, 1st vice-commander, and also on the board of directors; Al Steffin, Charles Schmidt, Evelyn Grant, Dave Proud, a member of the board; Al Dutze and "Chick" Stedecker. At last Monday's meeting of the local post, DuBoise stated that veterans' housing was the main subject under discussion. "The plumbing situation is really causing a serious delay," he said, "we appointed a committee to request the journeymen's plumbing association to supply several men a week to do the job, but whether they'll come through for us or not, remains to be seen." DuBoise added that a great deal of the needed linoleum has been secured, and several dwelling units will receive it shortly. General Convention Chairman Ed Sharkey, and Joe L. Lumpkin, national convention director, urged all legionnaires planning to attend the national convention in San Francisco, to contact their post adjutant.

It was marked "Pillsbury's Best" but (heh) that's impossible, nobody finds flour lying around during these hard days! Picked up by the police, it was turned over to its owner later in the day. "Yop," said the owner, "it's flour all right. Fell off my truck!"

General Convention Chairman Ed Sharkey, and Joe L. Lumpkin, national convention director, urged all legionnaires planning to attend the national convention in San Francisco, to contact their post adjutant. They explained that immediate action is necessitated by the tremendous problem of housing the vast influx to San Francisco presents. More than 150,000 legionnaires are expected to go to San Francisco from every state in the Union. California alone expects to provide 80,000 or more for this, the Legion's first postwar convention. It was pointed out by officials that purchase of the registration books was not limited to Legion members, but available to all their friends and relatives, many of whom are expected to avail themselves of this opportunity to get in on the Legion convention doings. "Here's what convention visitors will get for their $3 registration fee," said A. H. Meyer, chairman of the registration committee: Official bronze convention badge; official convention program; admission to Legion championship band concert; ticket for "Anchors Away" cruise; half-price admission to pro-football game; admission to street danc- Now, more than ever, it pays to KEEP YOUR CAR PHOTOGRAPHERS BETZSOLD STUDIO MRS.

C. Chapman, regional manager for the Veterans Administration in Los Angeles, advised former servicemen who expect to apply for a GI loan in the near future, not to use their original discharge or separation papers in connection with applications for terminal leave-pay. Chapman claims that original discharge papers might not be returned by the army or navy for a long period of time. The Veterans administration requires the original papers in guaranteeing GI home and business loans. Chapman advised the ex-GIs to submit certified or photostatic copies when applying for leave pay from the service arm to which they were attached. KEEP YOUR CAR —IN GOOD CONDITION!

Rendezvous To Feature Ansel Hill Saturday An up and coming new star of the dance floors is due at the Rendezvous ballroom in Balbon on Saturday, August 31, and Sunday, September 1. Ansel Hill is the new star mentioned, and accompanying him will be his swingy, but smooth-playing band of more than 16 members. Hill's band is known to have a style similar to that of Stan Kenton's, who is a famous alumnus of the Rendezvous ballroom. He already has many enthusiastic supporters among dancing couples throughout the land, according to music authorities, he will have many more following his engagement period at the Rendezvous. A full house has been predicted for this occasion. Wingert Reports On Trout Fishing Of interest to local anglers was the vacation enjoyed by Nick Wingert, owner of the Anaheim Auto Glass and Parts company, and his wife and son, Jimmy, in the Mammoth lake district above Bishop. They returned to their Long Beach home last Sunday evening after four days of trout fishing. "Trip was wonderful despite a thunder storm the first day," said Wingert. Using some "super deluxe" flies, created locally, the trio angled in the San Joaquin river "right above" Rainbow falls, at Red Meadows and at Lakes Mary, Mamie and Crystal. Lake June fishermen "weren't having such good luck" so it was omitted from the tour. Adding to the occasion was a 12-foot Foldcraft out-board motor boat, Wingert thoughtfully took along from his Anaheim Marine and Sport shop.

Rev. O. B. Schroeder, former pastor of the Bethel Baptist church, officiated during the absence of the Rev. P. G. Noumann, present pastor. She died last Tuesday morning at the home of her son at 622 South Claudina street after a prolonged illness. A resident of Anaheim for 40 years, she had been in the United States for 60 years. Surviving are her three sons, William, Ford and Harry Fries, all of Anaheim, five grandchildren and one great grandchild. She was a member of the Bethel Baptist church. Entombment is being made in Melrose Abbey mausoleum. Anaheim Gazette. since 1870. Balboa Announces 'Pirate Days' Are Starting Thursday "Pirate Days" are back again!

Sell your surplus articles through a Gazette "For Sale" ad. 278 Miles of Canvas If you're a citrus grower in any of the areas where trees are subject to scale insects, you know about the serious situation that arose during the past year regarding fumigation tents. During the war, all canvas naturally went for war purposes. No fumigation tents had been made since 1941, and of the 12,000 in use that year many had worn out; others were in bad shape. In the interest of the growers, and the consuming public, too, something had to be done—quickly. The California Fumigators' Association asked Fruit Growers Supply Company to help. How the necessary canvas was eventually received is an interesting story—and a good example of the way the different departments of the Exchange work together: First, Fruit Growers Supply Company, the Exchange growers purchasing organization, tried to get canvas through local suppliers, then the big textile houses in the East. No canvas was available. Thereupon, the Supply Company, in cooperation with the Exchange, contacted its representative in Washington, D.C., to find out if any suitable canvas could be obtained from the government. The War Assets Administration reported there was a tremendous quantity of army canvas stored around the country. But most of it turned out to be useless for fumigating. Canvas for fumigating tents must be strong, but light, and pliable. It must hold the hydrocyanic acid gas long enough to kill the scale. Most army and navy canvas was too stiff and had been waterproofed. Finally a supply that sounded more promising was located at Ft. Worth. The emergency was explained to the Department of Agriculture, whereupon the Department froze 1,500,000 yards of the Ft. Worth canvas so it would not be disposed of until the citrus industry could determine its suitability. At this moment, Dr. Fulton of the Department of Agriculture, leading U.S. fumigation expert, was about to go East—via Texas. Dr. Fulton was glad to help. He stopped off in Ft. Worth, examined the canvas and pronounced it satisfactory. Upon further inspection of the materials the Fumigators' Association and the Pest Control Bureau of the Exchange concerned. modern SERVICE HEADQUARTERS with its skilled modern tools—and genuine parts—all of which make OUR CAR-SERVICE YOUR BEST CAR-SAVER! • Secure the higher trade-in value that a sound, well-conditioned used car commands when you trade • Keep your car "alive," keep it in good running condition, until you get delivery of your new Chevrolet well serviced till you can trade it in on a CHEVROLET because a new Chevrolet is the investment that will pay you and your family the highest returns in utility—pleasure—health—travel—economy.

CHEVROLET AGENCY Phone 2215 At this moment, Dr. Fulton of the Department of Agriculture, leading U.S. fumigation expert, was about to go East—via Texas. Dr. Fulton was glad to help. He stopped off in Ft. Worth, examined the canvas and pronounced it satisfactory. Upon further inspection of the materials the Fumigators' Association and the Pest Control Bureau of the Exchange concurred. Then suddenly negotiations hit a snag. The War Assets Administration couldn't release the canvas unless the purchaser had a priority—and under its rules the W.A.A. was powerless to grant a priority. Through anxious weeks Exchange men worked to solve the difficulty. They enlisted the aid of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives. Wires were sent to congressmen. The citrus growers' desperate need for canvas was placed before the Civilian Production Administration. These efforts and the invaluable work of the Department of Agriculture finally succeeded. On May 15 the Civilian Production Administration issued a directive setting aside a requisite amount of canvas for use of the citrus industry. Few days later Exchange District Sales Manager Scott presented the quartermaster at Ft. Worth with certified checks of the Supply Company totaling $170,964.45. The canvas purchased came to 400,750 yards. This equals 278 miles of canvas one yard wide. By careful routing and shipping under the right classification the Exchange Traffic Department saved over $1,400 on the shipping cost. The canvas was finally made available to pest control operators in California and Arizona. Through well organized cooperative effort, Exchange growers were able to overcome a serious handicap. Just one more example of the value of Exchange service. Next report: In this paper two weeks from today. California Pratt Growers Exchange Sunhats Building, Los Angeles 88, California
