On June 13, 1942, actress Lana Turner kissed local contractor Henry J. Schneider on the cheek as a "receipt" for his purchase of a $500 War Bond at Liberty Center, 1000 Pacific Ave. Miss Turner sold $25,625 in bonds during the rally. Mayor Harry P. Cain, far left, looks on with amusement. Mayor Cain had designated June 13th both "Bond Day" and Lana Turner Day, and named the block on 10th Street between Pacific and A Street "Liberty Center". Besides personally autographing bond applications made during the noon rally at the center, Miss Turner promised to give a big kiss to some of the extra large purchasers.
