Anaheim Y's Men Visit Newport Club Nineteen members of Anaheim's infant Y's Men's club attended a meeting of the Newport Harbor area Y's Men's club last night at Christ Church of the Sea in Newport. The visit served as a return visit for two previous trips the Newport club had made to Anaheim. Newport will officiate at the formal ceremonies to be held next month locally. District Governor, Bob Boice, was present to direct plans of both clubs, Speaker of the evening was Bob Hayes, "gemeologist." Regular meeting of the Anaheim club will be held next Monday night at Mother's Kitchen at 6:30 p.m. At that time, charter members will be called upon to sign the club charter and to assist in planning the formal chartering ceremonies. All interested in the club are invited to attend. Savanna Defense District Meets The Savanna District 3Fs, civil defense group, met Monday night, when 30 block wardens were given instruction by assistant co-ordinator Paul Pletz to contact all residents in their territory before next Monday when another meeting will be held in the clubroom of the Stanton Community Church at 7:30 p.m. A report will be compiled by the District Warden Carl Jameson The Savanna District 3Fs, civil defense group, met Monday night, when 30 block wardens were given instruction by assistant co-ordinator Paul Pletz to contact all residents in their territory before next Monday when another meeting will be held in the clubroom of the Stanton Community Church at 7:30 p.m. A report will be compiled by the District Warden Carl Jameson as to how many adults, children, invalids, nurses, electricians, pump men, machinists, trucks, pickups, spray rigs, tractors, bulldozers, water systems, fire hydrants, etc., are in the district. There are 24 block wardens in the Savanna school area and six in the Stanton school under the assistant block warden, Fillipe S. Valdez. Every block warden has been asked to name an alternate in case he should be away from home during a disaster. LOS ANGELES (UP)—A boom in the soft drink industry, with five-cent bottles selling for seven to 10 cents was forecast at a meeting of 600 California and Nevada bottling executives. President Ray G. Deary, Sacramento, attributed the boom to the reactivation of armed services and influx of war workers. D. H. Roney, chief of operations of the department ducting a three-day session on the problems with 100 area employment department managers, pointed out these differences to newsmen: 1. In World War II, much manpower had to be used to build plants and other facilities. Today, the plants are built so that defense production can begin sooner. 2. Because the plants are built, their location is fixed and much of the labor source is located around them, so that the problems of shifting workers from one area to another is not so great. 3. The state has files of workers—such as women riveters—who worked in World War II and can be tapped again. It had no such files before. Roney said the big manpower swell is just beginning to develop. Many plants, he said, are breaking down jobs into simple skills so that instead of using a highly trained worker, they can put lesser trained workers on different phases of one job. Women and old folks will play a large part in the defense production force, he said. Veterans not likely to be recalled into service will not form too great a source of defense IT'S REALLY NEW...Not just "re-styled," but new beauty, new comfort, new power, too.

Problems Now Not Like War II — Roney There are some big differences be­lization problem now and that of employment department official said operations of the department, con­dent on the problems with more than work manpower, he explained, be­cause most of them are firmly established in regular jobs already. The conference, which began today, is discussing the technical Air Force Call Continued from Page 1 will probably draw the biggest proportion of reservists who will be called to active duty this spring. All reservists, whether members of organized units or volunteers, will be called to temporary active duty for about five days at processing stations nearest their homes. During this brief period, reservists will be given physical examination, reclassified on the basis of education and experience and given an opportunity to request deferment from active duty. Anacheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER Recompense to no man evil for evil—Rom. 12:17. OLD STUFF—In 1857 a German settlement known as Anaheim was established about twenty-five miles southeast of Los Angeles, on a large tract of land lying close to the Santa Ana river, from which the colony derived its water for irrigation... The Colonists were a curious mixture—two or three carpenters four blacksmiths, three watchmakers, a brewer, an engraver, a shoemaker, a poet, a miller, a book binder, two or three merchants, a hatter, and a musician... In spite of this medley of professions, the colony flourished almost from the beginning; and for many years its name was almost a synonym for prosperity and industry throughout the southland... RUGGED MEN—John August F. Heyermann was an adventurer. He was not one of the little band of Germans who settled here. He came to California with the Gold Rush in 1849, but remained in San Francisco to operate a drug store. HISTORICAL—When the wanderlust got John August in 1851. Rail M By The Assoc.

The conference, which began today, is discussing the technical aspects of recruiting the labor force and of breaking down jobs to accommodate non-skilled workers. The problem of farm labor recruitment is scheduled to be discussed. Peanuts, Popcorn Going for Free Is anyone looking for a kitten?—We're "Peanuts" and "Popcorn" Armstrong. We are twelve months old and we're brothers. The rest of our family, Mr. and Mrs. Meryl Armstrong, are moving from our home at 4092 S. Valencia, in Placentia, and we are left holding the bag. References we have in abundance. We are young, strong and healthy. Chasing mice is our favorite sport and we are very gentle with children. Please find us a home! All reservists, whether members of organized units or volunteers, will be called to temporary active duty for about five days at processing stations nearest their homes. During this brief period, reservists will be given physical examination, reclassified on the basis of education and experience and given an opportunity to request deferment from active duty. Reservists will be given at least 10 days notice to report for this preliminary duty. Thereafter, reservists will be given 30 days at home to wind up personal affairs if they so desire. Orders for extended active duty will be issued to qualified reservists either at the processing station or at the reservists' home. The Air Force said Reservists selected for extended tours of duty under the current program can expect to serve for 21 months. SMALL SMASH Property damage only resulted this morning at 12:30 o'clock when cars driven by Frank Dean Bledsoe, Paramount, and John Robert Madwell, 211 W. Whiting st., Fullerton, collided at Walnut st., and Manchester blvd., according to Anaheim police reports. RUGGED MEN—John August F. Heyermann was an adventurer. He was not one of the little band of Germans who settled here. He came to California with the Gold Rush in 1849, but remained in San Francisco to operate a drug store. HISTORICAL—When the wanderlust got John August in 1851, he drifted to Gauymas, Mexico, where he remained for a number of years. In 1862, as a man of 44, he decided to go back to the City by the Golden Gate... Enquete, a band of Apaches jumped him, took his horse and wagon and chased him scampering over the hills. Just before they looted Heyermann's wagon, they wiped out an entire wagon train, killing every man, woman and child in the party... Heyermann was discouraged, but not undaunted. He made his way to Anaheim on foot, content and happy to be alive. He must have liked the Colonists because he remained to establish a drug store here. TOO QUIET—Anaheim was too quiet for the man with a restless spirit, because in 1873 he returned to San Francisco to re-enter the drug store business... He wasn't happy, though because he took the State Medical Examination when he was 58 years old. He passed it and was given Certificate No. 662. He returned to the Mother Colony to practice medicine. He died in 1888... This brief biographical sketch of Anaheim's first doctor and one of its first druggists does not bring out the romance, hardships those early pioneers endured. Life was good, but it wasn't a free and easy life. People tolerated all kinds of hardships... History shows that this was a barren, fleabitten neck of the tall mustard grass—a land of opportunity for those who worked for what they got... HARD DRINKER—The Doe was a hard drinker as most of the other pioneer medicos were. They were called upon to work under crude conditions.

They were called upon to work under crude conditions. They were on the go from the crack of dawn until late at night. They never refused a call. PROGRESSIVE—In those hectic days when the horse and buggy was in vogue, Anaheim was a prosperous bustling settlement that produced the best wine in the world. Opportunity, then, as now, is where you find it. There were numerous opportunities for doctors here and medicine men drifted to Southern California from all parts of the world. Seventy-six years ago, George Henry Bailey (1837-1909)—Mrs. Henry Kuchel's father—came to Anaheim to help minister to its needs. He was a religious man, an ardent Methodist, and a staunch Democrat. Sketchy historical records show that these pioneers were rugged individualists who worked hard for what they believed in—and all of them believed in Anaheim. It is little wonder that a city with such a heritage has prospered over the years. NITECAP—a girl who knows all the answers, must have been asked all the questions. All growth that is not toward God is growing to decay—George Macdonald. Rail Men Start Drifting Back to Work By The Associated Press Railroad switchmen returned to work in many important centers today but there was no general back to work move. Senator Humphrey (D-Minn) said in Washington he had good reason "to be optimistic a settlement of the rail strike may be imminent." The crippling "sick call" strike ended in the New York area. Switchmen went back to their jobs in large numbers at Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Baltimore, Chattanooga, Buffalo and other large cities. But the walkout kept a stranglehold on much of the nation's war geared economy. The Defense Transport administration (DTA) took action to make sure that highway truckers give mails and vital freight first priority. The DTA ordered motor freight carriers to put demands on their services from the Armed Forces, The Atomic Energy commission and the mails ahead of everything else. It said there has been a large-scale diversion of rail freight to trucks because of the strike. All truckers operating for hire under either interstate or intrastate licenses are affected by the order. Although rail freight was beginning to move some places, the logjam continued elsewhere. Idle switchmen still let war supplies and other goods pile up in Chicago's vast freight yards, the biggest in the world. Many other cities also noted no back-to-work trend despite Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson's plea to the workers last night. Wilson told them their strike could hurt the United States "more than all the communist armies in Korea put together." Speaking with President Truman's approval on a nationwide broadcast from the White House, he said a "creeping paralysis" of the rail system was crippling the country's defense effort. But mail express and freight embargoes continued. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Freight traffic on the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe in the Los Angeles area was practically nil today but operations were normal on Union Pacific. Not one switchman reported for work in the overnight shift at the SP's freight yards, halting 43 engines. A spokesman said the time situation prevails on the day shift. Switchmen are reporting for work in the coach yards, allowing normal operation of pasesager traffic. The spokesman added that 1000 loaded freight cars are tied up in one SP yard alone. Santa Ke, which reported operations near normal yesterday, said 35 to 40 switchmen failed to appear for today's first shift. At Barstow, an important switching point, all crews failed to appear. Many were reported out at San Bernardino.
