WASHINGTON THE NATION-BUILD BICENTENNIAL POEM Written especially for the CELEBRATION OF THE TWO HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF GEORGE WASHINGTON By EDWIN MARKHAM Autor of "The Man With the Hoe" A Spartan mother called him into Time. And kindled duty in him as a flame; While he was schooled by the primeval hills Of old Virginia—schooled by her mighty woods, Where Indians war-whooped and the wild beast prowled. His name was written on no college scroll; But he drank wisdom from the wilderness. The mountains poured into his soul their strength. The rocks their fortitude, the stars their calm. He grew a silent man; Yet carried on all roads The lofty courtesies, the high reserves. He seemed to know, even in this noise of time. The solemn quietts of Eternity. But fiery energy, a live crater, slept Under that mountain calm; yet never blazed Into a passion, save in some black hour When craven souls betrayed the people. Then He was all sword and flame, a god in arms. With the heart of a child, the wisdom of a sage, He toiled with no self to serve. He grew in greatness, year by luminous year Until he carried empire in his brain. Yet if no Cause, no high commanding Cause, Had called him to the hazard of the deed. None would have guessed his power To build a nation out of chaos, give To her the wings of soaring destinies. But at the Hour, the People knew their Man. The one ordained of Heaven, ordained to stand In the deadly breach and hold the gate for God. And when the Scroll was signed and the Of Independence echoed round the world He led his tattered host on stubborn field Barefoot and hungry, thru the ice and Thru dolors valors desperations, dreams Thru Valley Forge on to world-startling When proud Cornwallis yielded up his And all the way, down to the road's la Cool Judgment whispered to his listening Where there was faltering, he was there Where there was weakness, he was the Where there was discord, he was there His trust was in the Ruler of Events— In Him who watches. He could say, "T Are in God's hand. I trust, But while I trust I battle." In this creep His soul took refuge and his heart fouled When, after Yorktown, all the guns we Still was our Chieftain on a battle line Fighting old laws, old manners, old believer He fought the outworn old, And lit new torches for the march ahead Life tried his soul by all the tests of By hardship, treachery, ingratitude; Yes, even by victory and the loud applaud When fortune flung to him a crown, he The daule back and followed the Peo He turned from all the tempters. Stood firm above the perils of success— Stood like Monadnock high above the c He did the day's work that was given h He toiled for men until he flamed with Now in his greatness, ever superbly long He moves in his secrene eternity, Like far Polaris wheeling on the North. Mental Gymnastics Keeping Hoarders in Trouble as Assessor's Plans Told Mental Gymnastics Keeping Hoarders in Trouble as Assessor’s Plans Told Money-hoarders this week got stiff necks from mental gymnastics. County Assessor James Sleeper’s announcement that he has “ways and means” of finding out how much cash one has in his possession, other than merely going through bank withdrawals to secure the information, has put hoarders in a tough spot. Mental gymnastic fatigue soon was evident when Sleeper announced: One thousand dollars in the sugar bowl is taxable at $57.50. In the bank it is tax free. The full tax will be levied. If the hoarder tries to misrepresent, he’ll be taxed more than half, or $5,750 for every $10,000, as a result of the authorized penalty of ten times the value of actual tax. If false representation is made, the hoarder is subject to a prison sentence from one to 4 years. Hoarded money will cost six percent in taxes. Deposited in savings, it is tax free and earns interest. Money in checking accounts legally is assessed at $2 for each $1000, as personal property, taxed at $57.50. These facts are becoming clear to hoarders. Sleepers’ deputies, if they have reason to suspect hoarding, have a right to ask for an affidavit, and if they find after investigation that the affidavit misrepresents, the full force of the law becomes effective. Failure to make such affidavit after request is punishable by a fine of $100. Initiate Many Into Jr. Girl Reserves Code of Organization Discussed at Meeting at Presbyterian Church Tuesday Nearly a score of new members were admitted to the Junior Girl Reserves at the organization meeting Tuesday evening in the Presbyterian church.

TO THE MAN WHO HAS STOPPED SAVING Perhaps that savings account you started has been asleep quite a while. At regular intervals, we wake it up to add the interest it has earned. But it hasn't grown as you intended. Too bad. By this time, you might have had a sum equal to six months' income—little enough in case of illness, accident or loss of work. Undoubtedly there was a good reason why you stopped saving. But isn't it worth trying again? After all, nothing takes the place of cash in the bank. You can make deposits in any Bank of America branch for credit to your account in any other branch... just one advantage of saving with this strong, statewide Bank.

Theusands submitted photographs in the contest. Succeeds Mellon Ogden L. Mills, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Andrew Mellon and who has discharged many of the duties of his chief in recent months, has been named to succeed him. Election to Fill 2 School Vacancies Nomination petitions for one member of the board of trustees of the Anaheim union high school, an done member of the Anaheim elementary school board must be filed ten days before election on March 25. Successful candidates will take office April 1. Henry Ramm, who is completing his second term on the high school board, has informed associates that he will be a candidate for re-election, but has made no formal announcement of his plans. Miss E. Kate Rae, clerk of the elementary school board and a trustee since 1925, hasn't any announcement as to whether or not she will be a candidate to succeed herself. AGE— The State of New York granted pensions to 51,168 old people in 1931, the first year of the operation of the State Old Age Security Law. The average pension was $26.92 a month. Any person over seventy years old who is unable to support himself or herself is eligible for a pension in New York. Massachusetts gave relief to 10,000 old people in the first six months of its Old Age Assistance Law, for which every voter in the State is taxed $1 a year. It cost an average of $5.85 a week for each pensioner. Delaware, California and Minnesota have State old age pension systems. In Canada 63,285 old people are on the pension rolls. The time is coming soon, I believe, when nobody in any civilized part of the world will need to fear destitution in old age. CALENDAR— The International Conference on Calendar Reform seems to be making some headway. There is still a bitter dispute between the people who would like to change our method of computing time from a twelve-month year to a thirteen-month year, but on one point almost everybody has come to an agreement. That is to make Easter fall at the same time every year. Unde rour present calendar Easter is the Sunday after the first full moon which follows the twenty-first of March. That may be any time from March 22nd to April 25th. The Roman and Greek Catholic churches, the Church of England, the Lutheran church and all the important Protestant denominations have agreed that there is no reason why Easter should not be fixed for the Sunday following the second Saturday in April, and authoritative action may be looked for within the next year or two, insuring that Easter in all parts of the northern hemisphere will always occur after spring has got well under way, instead of falling, as it now often does in northern climates, while the world is still in the grip of winter. NECKTIES— Is there anything more foolish than a man's necktie? If you wear a collar you have to wear a tie. It is a perfectly useless adornment, serving no real purpose except to gratify the wearer's vanity. A man never sees his own necktie when he is wearing it, so he must wear it to please other people's eyes. I think there is a good deal to be said for the costume which used to be so popular in the movies, the rolled-collar shirt worn open half way down the chest. Men are such slavish followers of fashion however that they will never Izaak Waltonians Fight Federal Plan Take Action to Prevent Federal Transference of Forests to State Control Protesting against the federal government turning lands in the national forests back to state governments on the grounds that wild animal life in Orange county would be practically eliminated by such action, scores of friends of the Izaak Walton league of Anaheim were scheduled to meet in the Leglon room of the city hall at 6:30 o'clock Thursday. After the dinner, motion pictures of wild life were to be shown to those present, under the direction of George Hedstrom. State-President Dave Vasbinder was to preside at the presenting of a charter to the Anaheim league, after which permanent officers were to be elected and installed. 20 Employees Planning 3-Day Mountain Trip Approximately 20 employees of the city of Anaheim plan to go to the Kiwanis club lodge in Iryllwild for a week-end party Saturday, Sunday and Monday, according to plans announced at the city hall late this week. Heavy snow in the mountains offer much opportunity for winter sports, it is stated. Daughter Arrives at Lyle Janes' Domocile Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Janes of 1121 Diamond street this week received congrations of friends upon the arrival Monday evening of a baby girl, Barbara Louise, at the Resthaven hospital. Mother and daughter were reported doing well. We've Added—NUTS and CANDIES Get these also when you're in for your regular Karmelkorn bag THE KARMELKORN SHOP 219 W.
