Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. Subscription Per Year .....$2.00 Six Months .....$1.00 MRS. HENRY KUCHEL THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. WHERE DOES CALIFORNIA COME IN Is it worth a $10,000 superior court judgeship to resign the position of lieutenant-governor of the state of California, which pays only $4,000 per annum? Don't talk about qualification for the bench, or legal training or experience; that is entirely irrelevant to the question. This was the question which Lt.-Gov. Ellis Patterson had to ponder over the telephone this week, as Governor Olson called him from Chicago to tell Patterson that he, Olson, had a great chance to be nominated vice-president, but that Patterson should get out of the way first. Mr. Patterson, according to newspaper reports told the governor to go somewhere. Mr. Patterson said to the press that he would not be a party to "any cheap maneuver," to further the political ambitions of the present governor. Any number of sound, substantial reasons occur for Patterson's turning down Olson's offer. For whatever reason, the lieutenant-governor deserves credit for his decision. He is reputed to have told the governor where to go. But the people of California have a stake in all this amazing political juggling. Are appointments in general by the governor of Cali- A Woman Looks On BY MARY ROUTT PATTERSON Mrs. Roosevelt, via her column indicates she will not keep hands off in the coming presidential campaign. Immediately following the Willkie nomination she wrote "And so Wendell Willkie is nominated for President on the Republican ticket . . . The headline in one of the metropolitan papers recently said: 'Willkie aims at unity, defense, and recovery.' I'm discouraged. In heaven's name, will any one aim at anything else? "Sometimes I wonder whether we shall always go on using generalities to which every one can subscribe, and which mean very little. What is important, is how we expect to achieve the above objective. That is the only thing that matters to the people of the country and, apparently, we are going to be very vague about these methods. "We can, however, judge parties and people by their records, and Mr. Willkie's record is something all of us should study in the next few weeks." The country little realizes the tremendous influence which Mrs. Roosevelt wields in the politics of the New Deal and the policies of the Administration. Right now her power is greater and more far reaching than at any time during Mr. Patterson said to the press that he would not be a party to "any cheap maneuver," to further the political ambitions of the present governor. Any number of sound, substantial reasons occur for Patterson's turning down Olson's offer. For whatever reason, the lieutenant-governor deserves credit for his decision. He is reputed to have told the governor where to go. But the people of California have a stake in all this amazing political juggling. Are appointments in general, by the governor of California, made with no thought towards ability or qualification? Patterson has been a lawyer for only a short time, and has had very little experience in his profession. Should not this fact alone have deterred Governor Olson from his very foolish offer to place Patterson on the bench, where presumably, he would sit in judgment over the lives or property of those who would come before him? I find some comfort in the report of Dr. George Gallup, director of the American Institute of Public Opinion, given in the national convention of the National Editorial Association at New York recently. The old ideas about the public swallowing whole all kinds of propaganda, he said, would have to be revised. His investigations during the last five or six years prove, he said, that it is not propaganda, or speeches, or showmanship but events that shape public opinion. Every time he made up his mind that propaganda was turning things upside down along came some event or a series of events that changed everything and most men's thinking. Dr. Gallup says the public at large is not stupid and does not need to be led, as so many of the "great leaders" have been saying. Many cases might be cited, he says, in which the public is acutally far ahead of its legislators and political leaders. American voters, he says, were calling for a large air force FIVE YEARS AGO. About one-half the voters replying to the institute were urging compulsory military training to Uncle Ed Sez BY ED STOLTZ Lotta American flags bein' flown these days but Europe's got red, white an' blue. Red Armies, White Papers, an' a lotta Blue Folks. The woman who tries to hold her husband's love through his stomach is apt to leave him—with a bad case of indigestion. See where they're tryin' to raise silk worms down South. Wonder if they know you gotta feed the young worms every two hours, day an' night. Imagine bein up up all night with a worm an' tryin' to make your wife believe it the next mornin'. That's too much for any white man to put over. Bullets go where Angels fear to tread.

We can, however, judge parties and people by their records, and Mr. Willkie's record is something all of us should study in the next few weeks." The country little realizes the tremendous influence which Mrs. Roosevelt wields in the politics of the New Deal and the policies of the Administration. Right now her power is greater and more far reaching than at any time during these seven and half years. I well recall those early days of March, 1933, when Mrs. Roosevelt broke all First Lady precedents and began her regular weekly press conferences with the feminine scribes of the nationa capital. One of the first announcements she made to us as we sat around her in the cheerful west end hall, which the Roosevelts at that time used as a combination living and breakfast room, was that she would gladly answer any questions we might care to put to her except those pertaining to politics and pending legislation. "If you ask such questions I shall have to ignore them," she said. But the temptation was more than even so self-disciplined a woman as Mrs. Roosevelt could long withstand. Inch by inch she edged over into the political area. Her press conferences, her newspaper columns and her lectures began to include the politics of the day until now she has few inhibitions in discussing them. Placentia Minister Red Cross Chairman Dr. David Jack Brigham, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Placentia, was named late last week as chairman of the Orange county council, American Red Cross, as successor to Alfred Higgins of Orange, who resigned because of ill health after having filled the post for three years. Norman Lombard of Fullerton was chosen vice chairman. Mrs. Robert B. Johnson of Orange was named secretary, and Dr. John Wehrly of Santa Ana was elected treasurer. War relief fund contributions in the county totalled $13,769.60 at the time of the meeting. Most polar bears live permanently on the ice, often hundreds of miles from the nearest land.
