ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 Orange County's Oldest Newspaper HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. CRAEMER Hands across the county to the city of Orange, there to pay our respects, and to offer our congratulations to Justus F. Craemer, co-publisher of the Orange Daily News, who, on Saturday was made head of the state Republican party. Waiving all questions of partisanship, and the national election of next month, it is a signal honor to the county that one of the major parties should come to one of our local cities, and pick one of our local county publishers to preside over its state organization. The point which should be of particular interest to the people locally is that opportunity still knocks in the smaller town. There may be some glamor for the young person out of school in connecting himself with some 'big city' enterprise, but leadership comes from all sorts of places, city and country alike. In this case, Mr. Craemer ascends to high political prominence, after an imposing past during which he was president of both the National Editorial association, and the California Newspaper Publishers' association. In his present position, he may find himself in a position to better his state and his county. And if he does, he is the kind of man who will do that very thing. SAVING LIVES AND DOLLARS During Fire Prevention week, which is to be observed from October 4 to 10 this year, every effort will be made to instruct the public in the elimination of fire hazards. Newspapers and periodicals will publicize the Week. Insurance Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of three articles by Ralph H. Taylor, executive secretary of the Agricultural Council of California—legislative body of the state's main farm cooperatives—dealing with the California farm labor problem. Taylor's second article will deal with union demas in eliminating causes of dissatisfaction and unrest. Although Taylor's articles naturally fleet the viewpoint of agriculture, he will attempt to give fair analysis of the problem—the farmer sees it—in the interest of a better understanding between farmer and worker. In the heat of controversy, exceedingly difficult to weigh merits and demerits of any fairly and dispassionately, but present agitation in California unionize farm workers certain calls for clear heads and ratification if tragic consequences to be avoided. Not only is the movement doomed to failure—if past his means anything—but it is also a certainty to play into the hands of communists and radical activists who are the enemies of labor and agriculture. California labor leaders have pettedly admitted in the past that it is both impractical and impossible to unionize farm work due to the peculiar problem migratory and seasonal labor. SAVING LIVES AND DOLLARS During Fire Prevention week, which is to be observed from October 4 to 10 this year, every effort will be made to instruct the public in the elimination of fire hazards. Newspapers and periodicals will publicize the Week. Insurance organizations will send speakers about the country. Fire marshals and fire departments will cooperate. Fire prevention, like accident prevention, is largely an individual matter. It is impossible to do away with multiple hazards found in average home unless the owner takes an interest, and it is impossible to eliminate industrial fire hazards unless factory managements help to the extent of inspecting their factories and enlisting the interest and aid of workmen. Every town government should carefully inspect its public buildings, especially schools, during the week. Cases have been found where new an expensive school buildings presented a large number of grave hazards. Fire in a school is the most horrible of all—as a long list of disasters that snuffed out thousands of young lives witnesses. Remember the date—October 4 to 10. It should be regarded as both a duty and a privilege to take advantage of the week and join in the war against fire. THE BEST SHOES FOR 4 OUT OF 5 MEN FLORSHEIM SHOES with Flarewedge Physicians say that 4 out of 5 men have "outflare" feet—normal feet that need more room on the outside of the shoe... so Florsheim developed the Flarewedge last. This type of shoe provides extra room, and ends such foot discomforts as running over, instep corns, pinched and crowded toes. $875 and $10 YUNGBLUTH'S 145 West Center Street The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Editor's Note: This is the first series of three articles by B. H. Taylor, executive secretary of the Agricultural Council of California — legislative body of the state's major cooperatives—dealing with California farm labor problems. Taylor's second article deals with union demands eliminating causes of dissatisfaction and unrest. Although Taylor's articles naturally reflect the viewpoint of agricultural workers, he will attempt to give a analysis of the problem—as farmer sees it—in the interplay of a better understanding between farmer and farm worker. The heat of controversy, it is widely difficult to weigh the pros and cons of any issue and dispassionately, but the agitation in California to size farm workers certainly for clear heads and rational if tragic consequences are avoided. Only is the movement foreseen to failure—if past history is anything—but it is almost certain to play into the hands of communists and radical agitators who are the enemies of both land and agriculture. California labor leaders have readily admitted in the past that both impractical and impossibly unionize farm workers—to the peculiar problems of history and seasonal labor, the workers, and whose insidious organization reaches into every corner of the country. And the communist program is definitely designed to foment hate and distrust, without regard to the welfare of either farmers or farm workers, but with the sole purpose of promoting strife and bloodshed which will speed their dream of revolution. Both the State Federation of Labor and the American Federation of Labor have fought courageously and intelligently against radical attempts to undermine their organizations and, in all probability, the real leaders of California labor are just as fearful of the proposal to unionize California agricultural workers as agriculture itself. The most serious threat in the present situation is that labor's leadership will yield to the demands for farm-worker unionization against their own best judgment, due to pressure from radical influences in their own groups and from communists who have cleverly and deliberately incited farm laborers to demand organization. In some areas, the communists have boldly laid down the ultimatum to organized labor that "Either you organize the farm workers, or we will!" From the standpoint of the radicals, that is smart strategy. They recognize that the rank and file of farm workers want a fair of its own, and the other counties of California play ball with county in the same spirit; county cooperates with fairs? Many have expressions in favor of an Orange fair. Maybe it would be ping success, and maybeident of the United States be persuaded to keep h county summer white ha long enough in the fall. GIMME! GIMME! Another bunch of expert free space grabbers picked on the weekly newspapers recently, and in some instances they go what they went after — in other they got—nothing. This time it was the circus. For two passes the press agent expected to plant two long stories, illustrated with cuts, in every newspaper in Orange county. The newspapers sell space, the circus sells entertainment. A couple passes don't go very far in paying the publisher's grocery bill. The waste basket is an excellent filing cabinet for this type of bribe. Maybe some of the political candidates are beginning to classify themselves as the public have classed them — circuses. Space for sale, gentlemen. COUNTY FAIRS Orange county is bounded on one side by the Los Angeles county fair, and on the south by the San Diego county fair. At each of these expositions Orange county agriculturists and organizations enter the wares and capture several prizes. Now the question arises, does Orange county only is the movement foreced to failure—if past history is anything—but it is almost certain to play into the hands communists and radical agitawho are the enemies of both and agriculture. California labor leaders have readmitted in the past that both impractical and impossive to unionize farm workers— to the peculiar problems of history and seasonal labor, the of nature which defy unionrules as to hours of labor. The many other hazards of business which upset the farmer's calculations even more the farm worker's. The same labor leaders have confessed that previous exents in unionization of farm workers almost invariably resulting communists wresting control labor and dominating the oritations. At, undoubtedly, is the greatganger in the present situation, from labor unions are actually and throughout California, will inevitably come the condition of the communist organizers, travel with the seasonal WASHINGTON SNAP-SHOTS - - One of journalism's sanest thing takes place during the man's holiday" which is the stable practice among Washian correspondents.

Aberhart of Alberta was elected on a promise to pay pensions to everybody. That plan wouldn't work out, so he initiated a scheme of inflation through the use of monetary script. The newspapers predicted the pension scheme would fail; it did. Now they are criticizing the script plan. Aberhart, touchy, threatens to require the licensing of news-papers. He would, of course, grant licenses only to the papers which were nice to him. Washington correspondents are interested for two reasons: First, it shows what happens when a Share-the-wealth "Messiah" fails; second, it reminds them of the NRA, under which newspapers could have been required to get federal licenses. The census bureau has put some other federal agencies on the spot. Recently, it announced that since 1900 the average span of life for men in the United States increased from 48 to 59 years, and for women from 51 to 63 years. It added that increase was due in part to "labor sa- Orange county is bounded on one side by the Los Angeles county fair, and on the south by the San Diego county fair.

Many have expressed opinions in favor of an Orange county fair. Maybe it would be a whipping success, and maybe the president of the United States could be persuaded to keep his Orange county summer white house open long enough in the fall for him to attend our fair. The enthusiasm displayed by Orange county coastlines over the proposed summer white house indicates someone is really taking the matter seriously. COUNTY LIBRARIES There seems to be plenty of loose cash around the country for most any project that comes along, worthwhile or not. Forums included. Orange county could use some of the cash to good advantage, but it would probably have to come out of Governor Merriam's state budget. We are speaking now, behalf of the county library branches. Some of them are relics of antideluvian days. Many of the books were read by the crew that sail the ark, and put back for circulation in county libraries. Constant reminders are given the leisure class public to improve their spare time by reading, and as many of these spare time folk are the jobless ones they necessarily turn to the public libraries. Certain library quarrels are terrible, almost as bad as the books therein. County librarians do excellent work with the niggardly sums allotted them for their projects, but there plenty of room for improvement. PROUD OF OUR BOYS Orange county ought to proud of two of its newspapers. Frank Rospaw, publisher of the Placentia Courier president of the California New paper Publishers association, and Justus Craemer, publisher of the Orange Daily News is the king fish of the Republican party California. Whenever there is gathering of publishers within the borders of the state, one or both of these men will be among those present. The Demos probably won't find many good political words to speak for Craemer, but they do admit he is one of the finest newspaper men on the coast.
