Away
JeweIer Dies Of
Stroke Suffered
Tuesday Morning

Oscar F. Haun, jeweler in
Ell Centre for 10 years, died
late Tuesday from a cerebral
hemorrhage he suffered earl
ier in the day.
The body was taken to the Lem
ons motuary in Ell Centre to await
funeral arrangements.
Valiant efforts to save his life
failed and Haun passed away at
$40 p. m. Tuesday.
During the 10 years of his resi-
dence in Ell Centre, Haun made
many friends and participated in
community development. He be-
longed to the State Street Christian
church and to the El Centro Rotary
club. He was a past master of Di-
nuba lodge, 1856, F. & A. M. and in
1892 affiliated with El Centro lodge
No. 384, F. & A. M.
Immediately after he sold his in
tereSts in Dinuba, Haun bought a
jewelry store at sos Main street and
moved to Ell Centro with his wife
and sons. Later he bought a home
at 704 Olive avenue.
Among his survivors are his wife,
Mrs. Kathryn Haun; three sons;
and his mother.
Haun was stricken suddenly while
at work redecorating the window in
his store early Monday night. He
reached his home with difficulty
but refused to permit a physician
to be called. Early Tuesday morning
he suffered another attack and be-
came unconscious. A physician sent
him to the Ell Centre hospital and
the resuscitator squad from the Ell
Centro fire department worked with
him for hours.

The Place to Watch


If Napoleon was right about the
anatomically unique position of
travelling soldiers, RR is willing to
bet plate of hot biscuits that the
most thoroughly guarded units in
the llth cavalry's current maneu-
vers between Live Oak springs and
Camp Moreno are the mobile field
kitchens. The troopers are playing
the war game for keeps, which
means that anything captured by
the enemy" remains under cap
ture unless re-captured by strategy
or force. Ergo: a field kitchen in
the hands of the enemy is out of
commission, and the horseback SOL
diers would have to get along on
field rations. tASk any oldtimer
about field rations; they're worse
than Stuka dive bombers looking
at you down their noses) No field
kitchens, no grub. SO you may eX-

had none. So Jeff was taken before
