Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton WHY CHANNEL PORTS FELL — Probably the greatest surprise of modern times has been the apparent ease, and above all the terrifying speed with which the Nazis slashed through the reputedly impregnable "Little Maginot Line" and raced across France to the ports of Abbeville and Boulogne on the English Channel. French Premier Reynaud spoke of "incredible blunders" by the French high command. But it was a theory that caused the downfall of Gamelin, first commander-in-chief of the Allied armies in the present war. This theory was that an offensive against prepared positions would, in modern warfare, prove so expensive as to amount to military suicide. Obviously he still thought of the machine gun as "queen of the battlefield." When Germany invaded Holland and Belgium, therefore, the Allies, acting on previously prepared plans, pivoted like a door and swung through Belgium to meet the Nazi advance. The hinge of this movement was at Sedan. Any amateur carpenter knows that if a door is to work, its hinges must be strong. This was disregarded by Gamelin. At the vital hinge point he placed what we Veteran Teacher At Anaheim High School to Retire Miss Bella J. Walker Ends 33 Years of Service On Faculty Miss Bella J. Walker, a member of the Anaheim union high school faculty since September 1907, will retire at the close of the present school year, it was announced this week when District Superintendent J. A. Clayes released faculty assignments at the high school for next year. Miss Walker has been a member of the administrative staff and head of the English department for a number of years. Her position on the administrative staff will not be filled, and she will be succeeded as head of the English department by Mrs. Ethel J. Caverley. Came Here in 1907 Coming to Anaheim in 1907, Miss Walker taught all the English classes offered during the next four years. In 1912 she was assigned to some administrative work and taught fewer classes as the years passed until a few years ago when she began confining all her efforts to administrative activities. The present faculty is made up of 49 men and women, including Preparedness And Peace Urged in Address C. Burt Allen of Santa Ana distinguished member of the D. A. V., wove his inspiring Memorial day address at Anaheim cemetery around a plea to prepare "for any eventually in a war mad world" but not to permit "our sympathies to get us into another war in which we have no stake." Approximately 500 persons attended the services, a portion of which was held at the flag pole and tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the remainder in front of the mausoleum. William P. Webb was master of ceremonies, and while introducing heads of patriotic organizations, called attention to the fact that Mrs. Mary Ceans had not missed a Memorial day service at Anaheim cemetery in 52 years. Increased Use of Oranges is Urged Exchange Representative Speaker at Meeting of Booster Body BALKAN BLOC—As the shadow of Italian expansionist ambition deepens in the Balkans, falling across Jugoslavia and Greece, Russia has moved quickly to bar the gateway. Reports tell of the establishing of a Balkan bloc including Rumania, Jugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Russia. There are even rumors that the three smaller nations have agreed, at last to permit Russian troops to cross their frontiers to aid in repelling any Italian attack. Rome declares that eventually war in the Balkans, will find Germany, Italy, Hungary, and Bulgaria aligned against Rumania, Jugoslavia, Greece and Turkey. The Russian move, however, changes this picture radically. Hungary has had to side politically with Germany and Italy because she is entirely dependent on them in both an economic and a military sense. Also, Hungary still hopes, some day, to recover from Rumania lands which were a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Bulgaria, too, has claims against Rumania. These claims have been frequently and bitterly advanced, but Bulgaria has so far consistently hitched her political wagon to Russia's star. If she were to join the Nazi-Fascist alliance, she would be very important as a Came Here in 1907 Coming to Anaheim in 1907, Miss Walker taught all the English classes offered during the next four years.

He quoted statistics to show that in localities were the citrus income has decreased a general business decrease is also recorded. Unit Cost Too High The problem facing the citrus grower is not that there are too many oranges, but that there are too few oranges to the tree, Isham said. Unit production must be increased and the unit cost of production must be lessened. Merchandising machinery must be gotten into shape to sell more oranges. The speaker criticized the citrus growers who have taken a defeatist attitude toward the problems and are depending too much on outsiders to pull them out of the doldrums. The industry itself has energy and brains enough to make improvements, he declared.
