Let's buy out the merchants on Dollar Day. Next Thursday, February 20, is the time. "TO MY VALENTINE" Here comes St. Valentine’s Day, bringing to youth one of the exciting days of the year. But need oldsters scorn it for that? After all, let them send their memory wandering back to some February 14 of a bygone year in grade school when life and the first stirrings of puppy love—that's not what you called it then, of course—possessed an exciting magic that was never to be recaptured. Would Betty send that valentine? Would you dare send her a rhymed picture card, a card which would defiantly proclaim your affection for her? Yes, you would. Tongue-tied and fearful, you dared not tell her so in person, but a valentine, like a friendly friend, would bear that message for you. No wonder February 14 was a day easily remembered and not soon forgotten in those early school years! All of us now live and work in a harder school, but few there are who, by sending a valentine, will not kindle a bright, and perhaps unexpected spark of happiness in someone near. A token of affection and remembrance is never out-moded. It will be welcome to someone now, just as it was when you first signed your name in inky scrawl below the words, "To My Valentine," and sent that magic message on its way. DO WE WANT AN AIRPORT? During the past few weeks civic leaders of Anaheim have been discussing privately and publicly the possibility of obtaining a government approved airport for northern Orange county. The principal questions being discussed are how to get it and where to put it. Public sentiment, apparently, is almost entirely in favor of the project. This newspaper sincerely believes that an airport which would receive federal approval and support would be a definite asset to Anaheim, and to Orange county. It would be especially beneficial to this city if located in the northern part of the county, perhaps at the present Anaheim airport. That it could be located here is not beyond the realm of possibility; in fact, it was the suggestion that the Anaheim airport be developed which opened the present discussion. How would Anaheim benefit from such an airport? There are several possibilities. Private pilots are being forced out of Los Angeles county airports, and must rent storage space elsewhere. Industries affiliated with aircraft manufacturing are also being forced out of Los Angeles and are seeking new sites. Government approved pilot training schools are springing up like mushrooms and must be looking for good locations. These factors alone, all of which are possible to secure here if a suitable airport is developed, would add greatly to the influx of new money to the city, through additional population and increased payrolls. Add to them the possibility of connections with the commercial airlines and it is obvious that the airport development is worth striving for. No sudden revulsion of fury was this, but the long-convulsive animosity which apply to how he must have felt condescension in war in which Britain was allies of France, in which his personal friend Mussolini was enemy camp. No sooner had the army been concluded than Pierre Laval was eagerly striving to read understanding with Mussolini achieve the formation of a block of Latin nations, led Italy, France and Spain. However, Il Duce, through columns of the Roman press subjected with scathing disdain ridicule the advances of Lauter Hitler had instantly became one of the potential conspiracy against Nazi interests. Unabashed, Laval turned Berlin in the conviction Hitler and not Mussolini was master of the axis. Here, too, he was at first with scornful rebuffs, but given interest in his services did Nazis show when the ex-collapse of Britain failed to terializeize, when it became evident that for many months most conflict would be prolonged that, after all, France might a useful tool. Then began a new phase career of Pierre Laval, which in time may possibly his name to be mentioned in history books when they recount events of this era of devastation and treachery. But one imminent that those will be pages which his descendants will turn with little pride. Irving R. Gates’ Rites Held Today Funeral services for Irving Gates, 48-year-old native of Anaheim who died Tuesday morning at the veterans' hospital chaplain Sawtelle.

GOVERNMENTAL COSTS IN STATE INCREASES NINE-FOLD IN 30 YEARS Expenditures of the state and local governments in California for 1940, when they totalled $773,-860,881, were nine times greater than expenditures for these governments in 1911, when they totalled $85,110,894, the study "Income and Expenditures of Government in California," just made public by California Taxpayers' association shows. Since 1911, the first fiscal year for which complete data are available, state expenditures have increased 27 times, going from $8,249,587 to $223,076,171; county expenditures have gone up seven and one-half times, from $23,155,661 to $173,-237,089; cities, more than five times, from $32,834,718 to $173,-099,464; school, nine times, from $20,370,918 to $184,172,127; and special districts, 40 times, from an estimated $500,000 to $20,276,030, the association found. On a per capita basis, the expenditures of the governments in California jumped from $34.84 per captia in 1911 to $112.03 in 1940, an increase of 322 per cent, the association stated. State expenditures per captia went from $3.38 in 1911 to $32.29 in 1940; counties, from $9.48 to $25.08; cities from $13.44 to $25.06; schools from $8.34 to $26.66; and special districts from 20 cents to $2.94. "Such increases in total and in per captia expenditures of government in California are completely out of line with increases in either the standard of living or the ability of the people of California to pay for government," the association declared. "In these huge expenditures is a vast field for economy and incerased efficiency—which will result in reductions in the expenditures of these governments and a consequent reduction in the tax bill the people must pay to support these governments. Such reductions can and will happen in California—if the people demand economy and efficiency in the administration of their governments." August W.

Formerly ailiar name for a cavat or necklace was "lavaliere." Assuredly, Pierre Laval and his satellites are no ornament, yet around the neck of France today they weigh so heavily as to bow the shoulders of a once proud nation. Well might this small group unster men be described as the liere of France, placed about throat of the French people by Hitler. Proven now beyond shadow of a doubt Pierre Laval his followers are no more in the agents of their Nazi ters, for Laval, like the cap of a band of mercenaries in Middle Ages, was amply preed to sell his allegiance to any person who might offer a tempting lie in political power. No only two principles does Pierre Laval seem consistently to be adhered, his personal greed advancement, and his hatred Britain, which amounts to abia. In the day following the French tender, at a luncheon in Borux, Laval openly declared that great desire was to send inst Britain the armed force of France as quickly as might be.
