THANKSGIVING Three centuries ago a handful of men and women knelt to give thanks to the Creator for having preserved them from the dangers of the forbidding wilderness and rewarded their labors with a harvest of sufficient food to carry them through the long winter ahead. Today one hundred and thirty million Americans have cause to thank the Creator for having preserved them from the dangers of the forbidding wilderness of oppression, dictatorship, Communism and war that surround us as a raging sea surrounds a safe island—to thank Him for having rewarded our labors with comforts of living beyond the dreams of the humble Puritans. Today, as then, thankfulness for the past connotes thankfulness for present opportunity to make for ourselves a better future. Democracy and liberty preserved give us freedom to build stronger barriers of steadfast faith against the deadly infection of foreign "isms", as preservation from savages and starvation enabled the Puritans to strengthen their rude forts and extended their hard-won food acreage. We have clung to liberty for the common man, while whole peoples have yielded theirs. We have kept to the path of peace, while armies ravage other lands. Most serious problems confront us—problems of labor strife, of enormous tax debts, of economic dislocation still unconquered. But we have the freedom and the will, the resources and the me- overwhelming “No” vote Revenue Bond Act. Less measures, Proposition 13 vote against it is forceful against free-handed spending. Basically, “revenue” bore oral obligation bonds. De final analysis, has to pay by sad experience—Illinois with the problem of a series—but California, du avoided the mistake and further adventures in squ CALIFORNIA MAKES NEWS It is a commonplace observation among newspapermen that California makes news. In this State—America’s last frontier—are gathered the adventurous, the eager, the nimble-minded who are bold to experiment. In the election just closed, issues on the California ballot engrossed the attention of the entire nation. Here experiments of the venturesome were placed on trial and judged. Here news was made. And the biggest headlines of all recorded the fact that Californians, when it came time to render their verdict, voted sanely and wisely on the extreme and fantastic proposals submitted to them. California has particular reason for satisfaction in the "Yes, things do stay cleaner here—practically everybody uses Natural Gas" OFFICIAL TOURS You notice the cleanness of Southern California's atmosphere most when you compare it with busy communities where natural gas is not available. That is why visitors here so often comment on the delightful freedom from soot. They see what a difference it makes to have natural gas, a fuel cheap enough for everybody to use and yet so clean that it leaves no residue whatever. But even more important is the fact that gas brings extra conveniences. It is the fast, effortless way to cook and it provides automatic refrigeration that is permanently silent.

Less spectacular than some of the other measures, Proposition 13 was no less dangerous. And the against it is forceful evidence that the tide has turned fast free-handed spending and mounting public indebtedness. Basically, "revenue" bonds are little different from gen-dobligation bonds. Debt is debt—and the taxpayer, in the analysis, has to pay it. Other States have learned that bad experience—Illinois, for example, which is wrestling with the problem of a series of bankrupt revenue bond problems—but California, due to the verdict of its voters, has added the mistake and has said emphatically "No" to other adventures in squandermania. The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Good times or bad, farmers play a role of host the year around—leading food for the hungry, buets for celebrities and sus-ces for a working world of billions. It at holiday time farmers a doubly important job. They often become the good provider for a nation in gala mood, extent of a sumptuous table. Banksgiving day, to the world stage, means a time for feasting turkey and giblets, for roast or chicken; for chestnut-baking, eranberry sauce, celery salves and all the fixings.

The New Deal's hope was that, with their party's power threatened, all democrats would feel more like pulling together: Legislation. Whether or not actual coalitions of republicans and conservative democrats are formed, the 76th congress looked by every outward sign certain to defeat government reorganization, regional planning, and any other major Roosevelt reforms. Conversely, no repeal of any New Deal measures appeared likely because the elections reflected no criticism of New Deal objectives and President Roosevelt still has veto powers. Sure to be agitated and perhaps passed are: Amendment of the corrupt practices act (governing elections to congress); investigation of WPA and PWA for political pressuring; revision of NLRA, with new consideration for employers; extension of social security; to head off the demands of old age pension lobbyists; revision of crop control and subsidies. Likely to result from the new line-up in congress: A tax bill less onerous would have been expected (if a new one is now written); railroad legislation more helpful to owners than the last congress would have passed, withdrawal of the president's discretionary powers over moneys voted, especially for relief and recovery; some gesture toward economy and budget-balancing.

Youth is Accurate of Second L La Verne Holmes, father already facing an attempt to murder his old wife, now faces another There are, to be sure, many crops in California which are over-produced. It would be foolhardy to deny it. In many branches of the industry, supply has exceeded demand; in some branches, prices have returned less than cost of production and farmers have tightened their belts, holding on courageously for an upturn in the market. But farm debt in California is at the lowest point in 17 years. Farm marketing co-ops, in California, are the strongest in the United States, with a record for solvency and security which equals that of the state's best banking institutions. Farm labor troubles, after a long period of unrest, are noteworthy by their absence. And farm land values, slowly but surely, are staging a comeback. It is not the purpose of this writer, simply because the Thanksgiving season is near, to blot out the bad and enlarge on the good. California agriculture is still far from being out of the woods. But California agriculture is basically sound; it is founded on efficient, high-grade production and business-like, economical marketing. And the state's farming industry will climb back to solidarity as rapidly as improvement in urban purchasing power creates a normal demand for farm produce. On the practical side—and of current importance — California farmers have this to be thankful for, too, that the dangerous "single tax", which would have handed farm lands with exorbitnt taxation, has been overwhelmingly repudiated by California voters; that the "$$0 every Thursday" pension scheme, which would have played havoc with the state's entire economic structure, has been defeated and that the Garrison revenue bond act, which would have made it easier to mortgage California farms with public indebtedness, has been decisively beaten. The California farmer, as he plays his role as the unseen host at Thanksgiving day dinners, can be grateful that foreign armies do not threaten his soil; that dictators cannot requisition his crops; that tax theorists cannot confiscate his lands—and that when winter comes, spring can not be far behind! railroad legislation more helpful to owners than the last congress would have passed, withdrawal of the president's discretionary powers over moneys voted, especially for relief and recovery; some gesture toward economy and budget-balancing.

Armistice Program Slated for Beach Plans were formulated last week by the Huntington Beach American Legion post and the chamber of commerce of that city for holding an Armistice day celebration in that city next year. The plan was endorsed by the chamber of commerce and a resolution sent back to the post offering financial aid from the city in carrying out the program. Commander Edwin S. Allen of the American Legion will make the request for having the celebration at Huntington Beach at the meeting of the American Legion county council next month.

The exchange believes that volume regulation is necessary whether elimination is practiced or not, because volume proration is essential to insure shipment each week during the season of a definite quantity of fruit in line with existing demand. It is also the only method by which each grower is given equality of opportunity to supply the market. "What the orange grower needs most is unity of purpose and action," Armstrong said. "We have a difficult year ahead of us. Let's stick together and work this thing out on a sound basis."

Officers Identify Drowning Victim Identity of a middle-aged woman whose body was washed up near Sunset Beach October 14 was established last week by Deputy Sheriff James Musick as Miss Pauline Allen, 55, unemployed stenographer. Officials declared her a suicide. Identification came after weeks of futile investigation, with dozens of possible acquaintances being shown the woman's picture. Finally, Musick located Mrs. Annie Dodd of Pacific Palisades, who identified the picture as that of a woman who had roomed with her since her arrival from New Jersey last July 19. Miss Allen, the friend said, was between 50 and 55 years of age. She left Mrs. Dodd's house October 9, saying she intended to return to the east. Four days later, Mrs. Dodd said she received a letter from Miss Allen, mailed at Long Beach, in which Miss Allen reiterated her intention to return east immediately. The next day her body was found. Miss Allen had said on numerous occasions, according to Mrs. Dodd, that she dreaded growing old. She also had said "I'll never grow old or be a burden on anyone."

Holmes was charged in a new complaint filed in Santa Ana justice court with kidnaping Edmoney Gaines, friend of Mrs. Holmes, when he assertedly forced the two women into a car on the night of November 5 and drove them to Greenville, where Mrs. Holmes was shot twice. Mrs. Holmes, mother of a four-months-old baby, had just been granted a divorce decree from her husband the day before the shooting. She is now in a serious condition in the county hospital from the gun wounds.
