SACRAMENTO SHADOWS According to a rumor coming out of Sacramento Governor Olson has definitely decided to become a candidate for re-election in 1942. The startling part, however, is that his campaign slogan will be: "We have balanced the budget and wiped out the deficit." This statement, as we all know, is not true today. With the national defense program booming the State's income it may be true next election day. We do not believe that the public has so soon forgotten the Economy Bloc of the Legislature who, with the whole force of the Olson administration against them, slashed budgets and fought to the last ditch against new taxes. The Olson machine will have a hard time selling that slogan to California. Another surprise may crop up in Sacramento when the drive starts to return relief control to the counties. Rumor has it that the administration will spring a big surprise and favor the move. Two years ago Governor Olson fought this move with all the power he could muster. His attitude then was a complete reversal of the stand he, as Senator Olson, had taken a few years before. At least he has had experience on both sides of the argument. A. G.

FLAGG—PRINTER One of the best beloved men in the printing industry was called from among us last week. At the early age of 12 'Pop' Flagg, as he was known to many friends, started his apprenticeship to the trade he loved and made his life's work. Death stopped his career permaturely for "Pop" should have had many more years of useful life ahead. Years ago, when he lived in Anaheim, the writer had the opportunity of working with him in the preparation of a booklet for this city. As a boy the writer received many helpful hints and encouragement in the printing and binding of this brochure. Those lessons and never to-be-forgotten tips on the trade have always remained a fond memory. Orange County will long remember A. G. Flagg and revere his memory.

It must be remembered that our previous occasion Berlin-jubilant proclaimed that a complete accession with Russia had been reached when Molotov held in the German capital his now famous conference with Hitler. But the Soviet envoy returned home and there is every reason believe now that those meetings proved entirely abortive. At the time too Finland and a slice of Rumania were to have been the price of Soviet cooperation with the axis. But the bid obvious was not sufficiently high. Today Hitler's need for Bulgaria is more pressing than it then was his hopes of a speedy victory over Britain very much less buoyant. Therefore the possibility exists that Stalin will not repeat the previous intervention to save Bulgars from otherwise certain submission to the Nazi dictatorship will. Now, the Fuhrer might turn back to western Europe as did before when faced with Stalin's opposition. Germany needs Bulgaria several reasons. The Italian coasters in Albania and in Libya well have brought the Nazis to point where they feel the urgency for some spectacular nature. The occupation of Bulgaria would fill that need while at same time the arrival of German troops at the Greek frontier would be expected in Berlin to bring Athens immediately to an acceptance of a Nazi dictated peace with Italy. A long stride nearer world Hitler be to planting upon farther shore of the Dardanese swastika standards. But the Soviet such a development would be in the extreme dangerous.

New Low Gas Rates Effective in County Placed in effect yesterday were new domestic and commercial rates of Southern Counties Gas company which afford savings of 7.3 per cent for consumers using 5,000 cubic feet of gas a month. Minimum consumption benefitting under the new rate is 3,000 cubic feet, with savings amounting to 2.4 per cent. The reduction affects natural gas consumption up to 10,000 cubic feet, according to the California Railroad commission. Savings at this classification amount to 3.6 per cent. PETAIN'S STRENGTH GROWTH The arrival in Vichy of Admiral Leahy, the new United States admiral, will have served very considerable to strengthen the hand of Marshal Petain in his dealings with Benin. The nature of the message from President Roosevelt to the chief of the French state, which Leahy lived, is not likely to be officially revealed. That it will contain something likely to persuade Petain further concessions to Hitler may be taken for granted. According to some sources, their view appears extremely plausible, the president's letter assured Petain either directly or indirectly that the fullest supply in arms and supplies would immediately be forthcoming were French government to move Africa and there once more to take up arms against the axis; that the extension of the policy of collusion with the Nazis would result in a most unfavorable reaction Washington towards the Vichy gime. If this is approximately the meaning of President Roosevelt's communication, then Petain will be virtually guaranteed adequate supplies and equipment for very considerable French forces in Africa and Syria should he cease once more to raise the banner free France and fight for that dependence which he has failed negotiations with Hitler to secure. Britain's highly important victories in Africa have so reduced the power of Marshal Grazia armies that there now remain scant, if indeed any, prospect that Mussolini could contemplate an effective move from Libya again Tunisia. Indeed, were the French African empire to re-enter the war under Petain and Weygand, French invasion of western Libya coordinated with the British advance from the east, would he HE'S THE BOY CAN DO IT!

Section 378-b of the vehicle code provides that: "A penalty shall be added upon any application for renewal of registration made on or after February 5... and the penalty shall equal the fee and shall be collected therewith." With nearly one-half of the license period gone, only 24 per cent of the motorists in Fullerton have renewed, and unless a steady flow of at least 475 applicants a day is maintained, many will be faced with a penalty. Ed Hatch, manager of the Fullerton office, states he is staffed to handle 500 applicants a day, and urges no further delay. forth every prospect of crushing utterly the remnants of Italian power along the southern shores of the Mediterranean. This in turn would ensure a firm and unbroken allied front along almost the entire length of the northernmost fringe of the African continent, a front held by powerful forces which could possibly, if future developments were to render hazardous the passage of merchant ships through the Mediterranean, be munitified and supplied through French Morocco. Under such circumstances, a Nazi attempt to force a passage around the eastern end of the Mediterranean, be munitified and supplied through French Morocco. Under such circumstances a Nazi attempt to force a passage around the eastern end of the Mediterranean basin would be a herculean task. On the other hand, Petain is understandably, far from eager to abandon continental France and leave its population to the tender mercies of the conquerors so long as there remains any possibility of improving by negotiation the lot of these people. Such a possibility, however, does not appear to grow brighter for Nazi demands and actions show little signs of declining in harshness. Church Officers For Year Named The Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector of the St. Micheal's Episcopal church, presided over the annual meeting and election of vestrymen and lay delegates held Monday in the parish hall: New vestrymen for 1941 are J. A. Clayes, T. K. M. Smith, D. W. Davis, new members, and Frank Garrett, Bert Shaw and L. G. Vanderboom, holdover members. Rev. Dow selected Clayes to take office of senior warden and the five vestrymen selected Shaw as junior warden. Davis was elected secretary and Ernest Zitzmann was reelected treasurer. Lay delegates to the Diocesan convention were named, including E. Zitzmann, T. K. M. Smith, J. A. Clayes, D. W. Davis and Bert Shaw, with alternates C. R. Brandon, Earle Jackson, W. D. Grafton, Mason Henry and L. W. Daigle. A report of finances and activities showed all assessments and apportionments met for 1940. Plans for the cleaning up of the parish hall, and church and the pastor's home by repairing and painting were discussed.

Theft of Bicycles Admitted by Youth The theft of at least five bicycles in Anaheim during past weeks has been cleared up, police said last week, as the result of the apprehension of a 15-year-old boy.

Such a possibility, however, does not appear to grow brighter for Nazi demands and actions show little signs of declining in harshness.
