KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. A REAL PATRIOT One of the greatest production managers in the world today is William S. Knudsen. His selection as production chief for national defense was unanimously approved by our best industrial technicians. He is also a patriot—a quiet patriot of deeds rather than words. When asked to give up his $300,000 a year salary to serve the nation as a dollar-a-year man, Knudsen's simple comment was that he had come to America as a poor Danish lad, and he felt it a singular honor to serve the country that had given him freely the democratic opportunity to make a success of his life. Last week, speaking on national defense, Knudsen gave quiet counsel to business and to government. He urged upon all businessmen who may contribute to national defense the duty of "100 per cent cooperation" with each other and with governmental agencies. He then warned against "a school of thought in Washington which feels that the government should go into business on a large scale." The limit in that direction has been reached in full, Knudsen feels. "The government is in business right now," he said, "on a larger scale than any other country, perhaps, except Russia, and we don't want any part of the Russian system over here." Few words and plain words, from a production manager who sees further than the production of automobiles, further even than the production of a war machine, to the production of safeguards for the fundamental soundness and permanence of the American way of life. To business: "gird and prepare without dissent." To Government: "we don't want any part between the Headlines By Fleetwood Law" STORM OVER ASIA—signs and alarming reports in the course of events in Asia have become more during these weeks.

Decision as to the successful bidder will be made in a week or two, according to Superintendent M. A. Gauer. R. Joe Quast, Anaheim plumber, was awarded the contract to install a sprinkling system in the lawn surrounding the school district's office on South Citron street at a cost of $200. Three other bids were also submitted and opened by the board last night. Participation of the Anaheim elementary school children in the juvenile parade during the Hallowe'en celebration was assured when the board decided to use the minimum schedule on October 31. School will start at 8:30 in the morning and close at 12:30 at noon. Miss E. Kate Rea, member of the board, reported on her attendance at the California School Trustees convention held at San Diego September 26 to 28. Superintendent Gauer gave a review of the activities of the superintendents' convention held October 5 to 9. Father of Anaheim Resident Succumbs Friends of Paul A. Black, 735 North Olive street, were saddened this week to learn of the death in Riverside last week of his father, Harry J. Black, 76. The elder Black had resided in Riverside for 15 years, having come to California from Rockyford, Colo. Funeral services were conducted CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice of God for a sweetsmelling savour." This verse from Ephesians is the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Doctrine of Atenement" on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. The Lesson-Sermon includes these verses from John: "Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. . . I and by Father are one." Paul's words to the Corinthians are also presented: "Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. . . For Christ sent me not to baptize, but preach the gospel." Among the passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, are the exemplification of man's unity with God, whereby man reflects divine Truth, Life, and Love. Jesus of Nazareth taught and demonstrated man's oneness with the Father, and for this we owe him endless homage." Keep your face to the sunshine, and you cannot see the shadow.—Helen Keller. Father of Anaheim Resident Succumbs Friends of Paul A. Black, 735 North Olive street, were saddened this week to learn of the death in Riverside last week of his father, Harry J. Black, 76.

In addition to the son here, Black is survived by his widow, Eva Jane; a daughter, Mrs. H. M. Parker of Glendale, and another son, Homer E. Black of La Crescenta. Mrs. Haney Knocked Down by Automobile Mrs. L. H. Haney of 306 West Center street, suffered slight injuries last Thursday afternoon when she was struck down by an automobile driven by C. A.

Hoffman Shoe Rebuilding 217 West Center Street, Across the Street from Kress Store (In Anaheim Since 1926) Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton STORM OVER ASIA—Ominous signs and alarming reports regarding the course of events in eastern Asia have been becoming ever more frequent during the past weeks. The United States fleet is said to have been placed virtually on a war footing. Lord Lothian, the British ambassador, says openly that his government expects an acute crisis in the Orient within the very near future. The state department has formally advised all Americans to leave Japan and the Japanese-occupied territories. Certainly these are symptoms not lightly to be regarded, but there is probably no reason for any fear that an armed clash between the United States and Japan is inevitable or even likely. What we are witnessing is the opening of an energetic and formidable diplomatic offensive designed to wrest from Tokio the initiative which so far Japan has held, unchallenged, in Asia. Assuredly past experience has proved that mere words, however earnest they meant, cannot be relied upon to convince Tokio that appeasement is forever dead. Only too often have diplomatic representations been made to the Japanese government by both the United States and Great Britain without result.

With the coming winter, a winter promising the greatest hardships for the people of Germany and of Italy who had been repeatedly assured the war would be over long before the end of the summer, some military destruction had become essential. The first endeavor was to enlist the support of Spain, but this plan appears to have failed for the simple reason that no answer could be found to the Spanish objection that war would mean the speedy starvation of the Spanish people. Flashily the three-power pact exploded like a rocket in the international sky, but like a rocket its radiance was short-lived. Its effective results have been negligible, and it will not be long before this fact is apparent to every German, to every disillusioned Italian. There is every reason to believe that the Nazis shrink from an invasion attempt which, so late in the year, would certainly prove appallingly costly and might well end in an overwhelming disaster for the Germans. The Italian invasion of the Egyptian desert promises small glory. And so the only other course open lay in a thrust through the Balkans, relying upon the threat of the Japanese alliance to keep Russia inactive. This thrust has begun, but it is an endeavor replete with the greatest danger. Bulgaria may offer co-operation, Jugoslavia may capitulate, but Greece and Turkey show every indication of being prepared determinedly to resist and we can expect that their resistance will be much stiffened by Soviet aid. Paprika Production In County Forseen Another possible crop for Orange county may develop as a result of the successful growing of paprika by Clarence Brown of San Juan Capistrano, states Ross E. Crane, assistant farm advisor after nine years of trials and experiments, a promising variety has finally been found by Brown. As the European supply of paprika has been stopped by the war, the United States supply is low and the price of the product is comparatively high. With production costs about the same as in growing the hot chili, and yields of the new variety comparable to yields of the hot types, considerable interest is being shown by growers in this new crop. Telephone Company Erects New Plant Construction of an emergency gasoline power plant as insurance against a prolonged power failure was started late last week by the Southern California Telephone company. The building, to cost $747, is being erected at the rear of the main building on North Lemon street, according to Manager Robert Rossberg. Batteries have in the past been depended upon for emergency service, Rossberg said. While they could provide power for from three to five hours, the new gasoline plant can be operated for an indefinite length of time, he said. Two Willkie Units To Combine Forces The Willkie Democrats of Orange county with H. E. W. Barnes of Anaheim as president, Thomas F. Bowen of Orange as vice-president and William J. M. Heinz as secretary have joined forces with The Willkie volunteers of Orange county and now have their headquarters at 114 W. Fourth St. in Santa Ana. The motto of both organizations is "Regardless of party—Willkie." "It's like seeing you!" Several thousand trained scientists work constantly on problems in the Bell Telephone Laboratories. Carefully standardized equipment is provided by Western Electric workshops with their sixty years' experience in telephone engineering and supply. And an army of courteous, skilled people maintains and operates the service the nation over. Your voice is you. You're with your friends—and they're with you—quickly, when you telephone. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TELEPHONE COMPANY 217 North Lemon Street Telephone Anaheim 2101 Officers Probing Shooting Affair Two Anaheim men and two Buena Park ranchers filed almost simultaneous complaints with the sheriff's office early Sunday, and the complaint of each pair was directed against the other. The men involved are Bernard C. Pelle, 23, of 315 West North street, Flcyd Miles, 33, of 903 West Center street, and Ernest and Ed Bastady of Grand avenue, Buena Park. The two Anaheim men told officers that the car in which they were riding with Mary Harris of Long Beach was shot at by the brothers. They took the woman to safety and then returned to the scene of the shooting, only to be fired upon again, they said. In making their complaint to the sheriff's office, the Bastady brothers said they were awakened by noise which their chickens made and noticed the car prowling around. They claimed the car was on private property and refused to halt when asked to do so. Miles was booked for intoxication by the sheriff's officers who are also continuing their investigation into the episode. Seal Beach Hunter Wounded Yesterday First victim of the new duck hunting season is William R. Pierce of Sunset Beach, who was wounded early yesterday morning while hunting on the marshes near Sunset Beach. When an unidentified hunter's shot gun discharged a load of buckshot struck Pierce in the face. Two of the County Will Hold Jobs of Draftees Orange county's board of supervisors Tuesday established a policy of returning jobs to county employees who are called to military service. Action of Orange county's board makes this county one of the first to go on record in support of the federal government's request that position to available to employees upon their return from service. Under the county's program, those men called into service will be returned to their jobs with seniority and pay the same as they had when they left. Their services will be regarded as leaves of absence. The reward is in keeping the commandments, not for keeping them.—Lydia Maria Chlid. Cleaning Concern's Workers Form Club A first "Supper club" was inaugurated by employees of the A-1 cleaners of Orange county when they met at the South Seas Sunday evening. Officers were elected during the short business meeting, and it was voted by the 32 members that a gathering would be held once a month in each Orange county town, Anaheim being the first host. A varied program was presented, with Joe Luney dancing a Hawaiian solo, and Leon Winters giving a comical talk on "Your cleaners and the paint spot remover." Harry Leighton sang two numbers, after which the meeting was adjourned until a later date. WANT ADS 25c October CLEARANCE OF GUARANTEED USED CARS Come in and see the CLEANEST Used Cars in Orange Co.
