KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim. California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. THE LEGISLATURE MEETS On the eve of the Legislature's regular session at Sacramento next Monday, State Controller Riley has wrapped up a bundle of holiday cheer in his announcement that California' income is now greater than its expenditures, and that the general fund cash deficiency is dropping rapidly. As against this welcome year-end accounting of California's finances, there is the fact that revenue hunters' appetites have by no means been appeased. Demands for new taxation are already being sounded, particularly for revenue from that already heavily tax-ridden source—gasoline. Although California's vehicle owners have been pouring increasing millions into the State treasury with each passing year, it would be a mistake to conclude their capacity to pay is unlimited. With annual gasoline costs per motor vehicle now $135.75, State and Federal taxes, as well as levies hidden from the consumer, already comprise $39.39 of that sum. The California motoring public even now pays millions in Federal gasoline taxes yearly which are never returned to this State for road construction, as was the declared intention when that "temporary" tax was enacted. Proponents of more and higher levies upon motor vehicle owners point to California's strategic defense situation and the vital importance of her roadways to that defense. None denies California needs better roads and sturdier bridges. But these are properly national defense needs, a responsibility to be shared and supported by the nation as a whole, and not undertakings for Californians alone to support. Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton BRITAIN'S NEW ENVoy Within the next few days, within the count Halifax, until recently a reign secretary in the Churchill cabinet, will be arriving in the United States by clipper plane in his new capacity of ambassador. Lord Halifax comes to this country at a moment in history which may be of decisive importance to the outcome of the war and therefore to the future of the entire world. Despite the fact that the most ambassador was one of the ministers who supported the Neville Chamberlain's disastrous appeasement policies, he is a man of unquestionable ability and great personal prestige. His outstanding tact and his eagerness try and understand the other man's point of view will stand him in good stead and may perhaps counterbalance the ascetic pearance and aloof manner which make it highly unlikely that Halifax will ever be able to achieve the warm and immediate popularity which Lothian enjoys. Lothian did much indeed promote between Great Britain and the United States a more complete mutual understanding that perhaps, has ever before existed. The first duty of Lord Halifax will be the consolidation and eventual possible, the still further amplified. from the consumer, already comprise $39.39 of that sum. The California motoring public even now pays millions in Federal gasoline taxes yearly which are never returned to this State for road construction, as was the declared intention when that "temporary" tax was enacted.

None denies California needs better roads and sturdier bridges. But these are properly national defense needs, a responsibility to be shared and supported by the nation as a whole, and not undertakings for Californians alone to support. They will pay this year, in State, Federal and local taxes, approximately one billion dollars—itself evidence that this is not a time for the Legislature to add to the weight of that burden with new State taxes. DAD'S WEEK Give a thought to the Forgotten Man. This is his week. He's the man who figures in the post-holiday mail. Now that the warm flood of Christmas time letters and happy New Year greetings have reached ebbtide, he's the recipient of that cool stream of communications which ever follow these holidays as night follows day. These little communications, sparing of words and right to the point, are also known as bills. No member of the family will hurry to greet the mailman and seize these letters from him, as they did last week and the week before, when the postman brought greetings of a different sort. No, indeed! This is the time when Dad comes into his own. The first of the month bills, now falling due, are part of the aftermath of one of the most bustling, prosperous Christmas buying seasons the country has ever known. Officially, of course, Dad's Day is months away. But as a supporting silent—and sometimes not so silent—partner of a shopping holiday that put more new life and new dollars into circulation than have been seen in a decade, let's not forget him now. This is really his week. Radio Headliners For the Week STATION LOCATOR KVOE 1500 kc. MBS KNX 1050 kc. CBS KECA 780 kc. NBC Blue KFI 640 kc.

It is commendable for its attractive make-up and also gives evidence of the enterprising spirit of the merchants of Anaheim, by the unusually generous advertising displayed on its pages. Not only do I admire this issue of the Gazette for the above mentioned reasons, but for the pleasant memories I have for its long-time loyal and capable Editor, and I am happy that the paper continues to remain in the Kuchel family. The Gazette has made a great contribution to the development and on-going not only of Anaheim, but of Orange county and of California. May it long continue this efficient service and in the hands, of the Kuchel family. I appreciate that you included the article on Citrus Culture prepared by me, which I trust will be really of some service even today. It is also interesting to remember that in 1898-99 the Gazette published in full the memorial addresses I delivered at services at the Anaheim cemetery those two years. May you long continue to give local and general news in as readable a fashion as you have done and as The Gazette has done for seventy years and incidentally lose no opportunity to popularize your city and boost citizens coming into the lime light, and ever rally to the support of the grand Old Party. Wishing you and yours a Happy and Prosperous New Year, I am, Sincerely yours, Charles C. Chapman which, one way or the other, may well be vital to the future of the French nation. And once this decision is made it is doubtful that Petain could modify it. Leahy brings with him sufficient unexpected and genuine moderation, Petain may have to choose between complete submission or the refusal of the German demands.

Goodrum came to California and Anaheim in 1921 to visit a brother who owned the Buick agency in Anaheim, and stayed here to become affiliated with his brother. Four years later, he went into the used car business for six years, before moving to Santa Ana as an employee of two automobile concerns there. Goodrum returned to Anaheim in January of 1937 to his present position. Goodrum's present hobby is horseback riding, and he owns two horses. He also likes to fish and hunt deer and pheasants. He was married on December 23, 1918, to Ann E. Douat at Vicksburg, Miss., and while they have no children of their own, they have one foster daughter, Cathryn McCormick.

It's the "Stratoliner"...fast looking and poised of line The Italian press has openly condemned Vichy of being engaged in negotiations with General Leahy. General Leahy, the new United Ambassador to Vichy, has asked his post aboard a war bearing with him a permanent Roosevelt. The Nazi are using, according to seemingly false reports, for the complete final alignment of France with Austria, but these demands are being with stubborn resistance. Austria has two cards, and only cards, of importance in his case. The first of these is the decision to dissolve the Vichy government and declare to the world that Nazi interference makes it impossible for a French regime to conceive with so much as a resistance of independence. The Nazi is the fast that almost be doubtful Petain's presence at head of the Vichy regime alone. Marshal Weygand from Germany is up some form of autocratic rule in the African colony of France, perhaps even giving the not inconsiderable forces of these colonies a war against Germany. Leahy is probably perfectly willing to pursue a policy of internal and economic collaboration with Germany so long as he is led to negotiate on something teaching equal terms, so long as there remains some faint pro-advantage deriving for the people from such a course. This deeply averse to going to some measures which would at present tail the occupation by the head of all continental Franceiser with the institution of reprisals by the enraged Russians. Berlin, however, will be satisfied with such concessions as Petain is prepared to do for Hitler requires, as ever, less than complete domination. The head of the Vichy government is on the verge of a decision which, one way or the other, may well be vital to the future of the French nation. And once this decision is made it is doubtful that Petain could modify it. Leahy brings with him sufficient unexpected and genuine moderation, Petain may have to choose between complete submission or the refusal of the German demands. If the aged soldier moves his headquarters to Paris, it will be safe to assume that surrender has been his choice in preference to the further suffering which the alternative would bring upon the French. But almost certainly no decision will be made until President Roosevelt's letter has been read, its contents carefully considered. In Vichy it is being said that if Leahy brings with him sufficient encouragement, Petain may once more be persuaded to present un-yielding opposition to Berlin. The letter which the ambassador carries to the head of the French state may perhaps become for France a document of historic importance. STETSON PULLED THE STRATOLINER Out of a Clear Sky!

White, manager of the concern since the death of his father, the late H. N. White, about two and a half years ago. S. N. White has operated the store during the time the estate was in probate although he is a member of the faculty of Orange union high school. His decision to remain in school work rather than to enter the business field is the cause of the closing out sale which will open next Saturday morning. The board of trustees of Orange union high school has granted White a leave of absence for 30 days to permit him to direct the final sale. It is his hope that the extremely low prices which he has placed upon all his merchandise will enable him to complete the closing out process within the 30 days.
