Leader of Legion Issues Statement Straight Thinking is Urged By County Commander of Veterans Group Promiscuous spreading of "fifth column" rumors and accusations was assailed by George E. Kellogg, of Yorba Linda, commander of the Orange county coucil of American Legion, in a statement issued last Saturday. He also urged Orange county people to "think straight and keep their feet on the ground" during the present war hysteria. Kellogg's statement in full: "As commander of the American Legion of Orange county, I wish to ask the people of our county to think straight and to keep their feet on the ground during the present emergency." "It is to be trusted that the fair name of Orange county will not be tarnished by acts of violence committeed in the name of patriotism against religious sects or others who may object to saluting our flag. "We believe that to be a patriotic American we should salute our flag. But we have no law to compel it, and we have no authority or excuse to make might the master of right." "Certain fifth column organizations have a creed which is based upon denial of the existence of truth. Then it is to their advantage to have false rumors parade as truth, and any person repeating false rumors unwittingly becomes one of their fellow travelers." "Certain rumors are going around our country that certain persons have been arrested for subversive activities and others have been roughly dealt with he" A Woman Looks On By MARY PATTERSON ROUTT Comments past and present on the United States relationship to the European war: Joseph P. Kennedy, on December 12, 1939 in the Church of the Assumption, Boston: "There is no place in this fight for us. It's going to be bad enough as it is. As you love America don't let anything that comes out of any country in the world make you believe you can make a situation one whit better by getting into the war... There is no reason, economic, financial or social, to justify the United States entering the war." London Daily Express: "Smart aleck Gerald P. Nye and ageing Hiram Johnson who framed the law forbidding credits to the debtor nations, are the only bulwarks of isolationism left." Edwin C. Hill: "More than one recent White House guest has reported that the conversation is mainly about how the nation can be educated most quickly to the need for our entry into the war." Senator Holt of West Virginia: "Those are the men who are telling American boys that they should go over and stop Hitler. Like the Senator from Florida (Mr. Pepper), if these individuals are interested in stopping Hitler I do not think there will be any objection by the Senate to their volunteering. But I wish to say that a man who advocates sending American troops to the battlefields" MWD Supply Line Will Enter City Bids Asked for Extension Pipes Into Santa Ana and Other Towns Bids have been asked by board of directors of the Municipal Water district for the tension of supply lines into Santa Ana and four other south California cities, Long Beach,rance, Compton and Burdin. The contract will amount to $179,000 for the five cities, it said. Decision to call for bids on project ended a controversy among board members over problem of bringing supply any farther than the city line and forcing the cities to pay cost of extension within limits, and forcing the "cities pay the cost of extension w their limits. This was the original policy the MWD but was changed to Los Angeles desired to have supply line extended from the limits at Eagle Rock to its downtown areas, at MWD expense; approximately $500,000 was expended on the Los Angeles line. Chairman Whitsett wanted to turn to the former policy, and the other cities pay their costs, but assented Friday to new policy. Santa Ana's extension, from city limit at the northwest border near the Santa Ana river, the city pumping plant on B Street, near Santiago creek, will cost about $20,000, it is estimated. Col. S. H. Finley of Santa Ana secretary of the MWD board, last Saturday that work will begin on the 20-mile supply route from Lo Verme to Orange co "Certain fifth column organizations have a creed which is based upon denial of the existence of truth. Then it is to their advantage to have false rumors parade as truth, and any person repeating false rumors unwittingly becomes one of their fellow travelers. "Certain rumors are going around our country that certain persons have been arrested for subversive activities and others have been roughly dealt with because of their utterances. I have personally checked with authorities relative to some of these rumors and have been assured that they are without foundation. "Therefore I request that patriotic Americans of Orange county prove their patriotism and Americanism by refusing to pass on these rumors unless they have personally checked their truthfulness. Organizations have been set up in Orange county to handle subversive activities, and any information citizens may have of such matters should be given to the regularly constituted peace officers or the American Legion, and they will be thoroughly investigated." Vance Hoyt Walks, Talks With Nature RARE TREES—In the struggle of survival and development through 200 million years, trees have had to contend with many enemies. Many have been eliminated by this age-old struggle; but others whose seeds contain 200 million years of evolutionary history, still survive as the rarest trees of America. Here is a list of the rarest trees; so aged and rare that the range of some is limited to only a few hundred acres: The Port Oxford Cedar, Weeping Spruce, Monterey Pine, Montgomery Cypress, Bigcone Spruce, Bristlecone Fir, Corkwood, Florida Yew, the "Lost" Franklinia, stinking Cedar, Torrey Pine, the Redwood (tallest tree), and the Sequoia (the world's largest tree). Justifiable pride is shown in Here is a list of the rarest trees; so aged and rare that the range of some is limited to only a few hundred acres: The Port Oxford Cedar, Weeping Spruce, Monterey Pine, Montgomery Cypress, Bigcone Spruce, Bristlecone Fir, Corkwood, Florida Yew, the "Lost" Franklinia, stinking Cedar, Torrey Pine, the Redwood (tallest tree), and the Sequoia (the world's largest tree). Justifiable pride is shown in these rare trees wherever they grow, and many travelers journey far to see them. Especially the redwoods and sequoias, because of their great height and massive size. Aside from a trip through the Grand Canyon, there is nothing quite so impressive as a visit to a grove of the Big trees in the Sierras. Just to sit in the "silence of the ages" beneath the giants is an awe-inspiring experience one will never forget. TRANSFERRED Vernon Barnhill of the California highway patrol, member of the Orange county squad since 1924, completed his service here early this week. He is transferring at his own request to Santa Clara county. Classified Ads Young Lady 21 to 30 With car to learn classified advertising business under nationally known instructor. Salary at start.
