The Inside By the Outsider A LOST ART (With the imminent possibility in the face of tire shortage that use of the horse and buggy, and horse and wagon may reach astronomical proportions, the Insider presents an informative disccurse, which, with a little practice should enable most anyone to successfully harness that friend of man—old Dobbin. For the factual and technical information following, the Insider is indebted to the Anaheim Life Affiliated companies.) Before we get the technicalities of how to harness a horse—when you get one—it seems desirable to set forth a brief glossary of fundamental stable terms which, if not defined, might be incomprehensible to the dyed-in-the-wool motorist. One should therefore, be familiar with the following: Stall—the horse's garage. Hames—steel necktie which horse wears in his collar. Saddle-pad—that which horse wears on its back. Difficult to define, but necessary, so necessary to the well-harnessed horse. Crupper—harness loop which fits around the base of the tail, and which is not, according to popular opinion, to keep the horse's tail from falling off. Breast Collar and Traces—sort of a power transmission belt. Bridle, Bit and Reins—the steering gear. Girth—girdle, worn by both male and female horses. Terrets—this one baffled us, too. Shank's Mare—a pseudo-horse. Unharnessable. VOLUME LXXII ANAHEIM, ORAL TOWNSPEOPLE, friends, and relatives of Sue Dauser, now superintendent of the Navy Nurses corps, who journeyed to the US Navy hospital at Coronha Saturday morning to pay tribute to Miss Dauser who was born and raised in Anaheim. Just few of those present from Anaheim and other Orange counties. "Cost of Living" Lists Are Due On Wednesday Anaheim merchants were advised again this morning by the Office of Price Administration that Wednesday, July 1, is the last day for filing "cost of living" price. "Scrap Rubber" Says Chairma Hoping that scrap rubber garages, basements, and cloak and pour in to Anaheim service Orange county drive chairm and which is not, according to popular opinion, to keep the horse's tail from falling off. Breast Collar and Traces—sort of a power transmission belt. Bridle, Bit and Reins—the steering gear. Girth—girdle, worn by both male and female horses. Terrets—this one baffled us, too. Shank's Mare—a pseudo-horse. Unharnessable. Now to the barn and to work. A word of warning, though: Just as a word description of how to tie involved than the actual process after one has done it a few times, harnessing a horse is not so difficult after one knows how. Proceed as follows: (1) Untie the steed and back him slowly from his stall to the barn floor, taking care not to get stepped on or mashed between the stall-wall and the barrel of the animal enroute. It is really astonishing that anything stuffed with hay can be so solid and unyielding as aforesaid barrel. (2) If he will "stand without hitching," fine. If not you will have to snap the two ropes that you find there into the side rings in the halter. Full understanding and acquaintance with the animal will dictate the procedure necessary. (3) Take the saddle-pad and appurtenances and place in position. You may need a ladder, but it can often be done on the second or third attempt by throwing same into the air. (4) Take the crupper and put the tail through it. This is done extending beyond the fleshy part of the tail and putting the folded tail through the crupper. (5) Seat the crupper in place by pulling the back strap taut. (6) Fasten the inside girth, taking care not to pinch your fingers. (7) Take the breast collar, with the traces, and bridle "assembly" in your left hand. Remove halter and slip breast collar over head and neck. (Horse's head—not yours). If a hames collar is used instead of a breast collar, that is "something else again." Don't worry about it now. The solid collar must be slid over the horse's face upside down and turned into position just as it reaches the smallest part of the neck. The hames are then put in place and fastened by the strap at the bottom. "Anaheim merchants were advised again this morning by the Office of Price Administration that Wednesday, July 1, is the last day for filing "cost of living" price lists with the local rationing board, second floor City hall. Advancement of the date from June 1 to July for filing price list with the board, has also evidently caused misunderstanding among merchants, according to the OPA. Many retailers also felt that the posting of prices in their stores was also postponed. DEFINITE DATE OPA officials, however, declare that May 18 was the definite date set for posting "ceiling prices" in stores and urged all retailers who have not complied to post prices immediately. Highest March delivered prices are the "ceiling prices" and all "cost-of-living" commodities must be marked clearly on the commodity itself, on shelf tags, by lists on panels or posters displayed in the section in the store where listed goods are sold. BOOK FORM Posting of prices in book form or by fastening several sheets together is definitely not in order, according to the OPA. Anaheim C of C Problem Clinic Chamber of Commerce Secretary John M. Johnston today solicited the problems of local businessmen and residents dealing governmental wartime regulations and legislation, promising as a part of the organization's service his prompt attention thereto. A telephone call to 3508 whenever a knotty legislative problem presents itself concerning war regulations will often save a trip to Los Angeles, Johnston said, and especially invited Anaheim lawyers to make full use of a recently procured series of volumes which implemented three times a year. Hoping that scrap rubber garages, basements, and cloaks pour in to Anaheim service Orange county drive chairmanship, the drive must be a success, the efforts of the individual ITS SHARE Though Orange county appears to be contributing its share to the drive, citizens were urged not to "let up" but to continue to search their homes for every ounce scrap rubber and close the drive between now and next Tuesday strongly as it began. “If the drive is not successful we in the Western part of the United States, where transportation by automobile is vital important, will be the ones who will suffer most,” he said. PROBLEM GROWS Seriousness of the problem grows greater as reports throughout the country come in. It believed that the average individual upon seeing a great number of rubber, shrugs and feels that Music Classes for Begin July 6 at An First summer instruction school will be offered to adhere to an already known instrument. There will be no charge for these persons having instruments with drums, bass horns, baritone-horn alto horns, cellos and string bass will be provided free of charge.

REGISTRATION Registration will be held July 6 at the high school m Remove halter and slip breast collar over head and neck. (Horse's head—not yours). If a hames collar is used instead of a breast collar, that is "something else again." Don't worry about it now. The solid collar must be slid over the horse's face upside down and turned into position just as it reaches the smallest part of the neck. The hames are then put in place and fastened by the strap at the bottom. The traces are permanently attached to the hames so you can't go wrong there. (8) Holding the bit in the left hand and top of bridle in right, put bridle on. (This requires some finesse. If the horse yawns at the opportune moment, your job is easy. Otherwise, the upper and lower jaws must be pried apart gently and the bit put in position. (To prevent accidents do not insert over two fingers at a time.) Then the left ear (again the horse's) is inserted in the proper place and then the right. (9) Fasten the throat-latch. This is the strap that goes around the jowls. Don't get it too tight or you'll choke him. (10) Lead or drag horse in position in front of buggy. (It may be more expedient to haul the buggy.) Draw buggy slowly forward, putting the shafts through the shaft loops on either side of the girth. (11) Fasten traces or tugs to the whiffle-tree (there's another new term, but you can't miss it. All good buggies have one.) Putting them through the loops that you should find on the shafts. (12) Fasten hold-back straps. These should be neither too tight nor too loose. (Better get some expert advice on this point.) (13) Fasten outer girth. (Turn to Page 7) regulations and legislation, promising as a part of the organization's service his prompt attention thereto. A telephone call to 3508 whenever a knotty legislative problem presents itself concerning war regulations will often save a trip to Los Angeles, Johnston said, and especially invited Anaheim lawyers to make full use of a recently procured series of volumes which are supplemented three times a week with legal interpretations direct from Washington, D.C. Full information on recent State Labor Relations provisions were also available at the local office, he said. Walter M. Merrill Succumbs to Illness Walter M.

Scrap Rubber Drive Must Be Successful,"" Days Chairman; Collection Ends Tuesday helping that scrap rubber from patriotic citizens' attics, ties, basements, and closets, would continue to bounce our in to Anaheim service stations, Hal Eaton, Northern county drive chairman, reiterated this morning that live must be a success, and that its success depends upon Cart Before The Horse Scrap Rubber Drive Must Be Successful," says Chairman; Collection Ends Tuesday Piping that scrap rubber from patriotic citizens' attics, buses, basements, and closets, would continue to bounce our in to Anaheim service stations, Hal Eaton, Northern county drive chairman, reiterated this morning that drive must be a success, and that its success depends upon efforts of the individual citizens. WARE High Orange county appears contributing its share to the citizens were urged not to "but to continue to search homes for every ounce of rubber and close the drive on now and next Tuesday as early as it began. The drive is not successful, in the Western part of the United States, where transportation by automobile is vitally important, will be the ones who suffer most," he said. LEM GROWS Business of the problem greater as reports through the country come in. It is noted that the average initial, upon seeing a great pile rubber, shrugs and feels that what little he could contribute would not help at all. The office of Emergency Management reports, "One ordinary rubber sink stopper would supply elastic for a parachute harness. Two ounces from each of our 130,000,000 Americans would provide enough rubber for treading 18,000 army tanks. That's the importance of trifles in this time of dire need." KEEP BALL ROLLING Eaton urges everyone to keep the ball rolling, a rubber one, right into the nearest service station. "Cooperation has been great. Let's finish strong by contributing every rubber band, every ounce that we can possibly find, from now until Tuesday," he added.

Brief News Summary We can't afford to waste anything . . . Yet, Tuesday will come and go and the nation will completed the registration under the Selective Service approximately 43 million men between the ages of 18 and From this reservoir of manpower, according to the Manpower commission, will be built a military machine from 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 men by the end of 1943. The Selective Service machinery by which these men be inducted is the most democratic in the world. It is cated to the idea that justice be done and equality prey We have no doubt that this is and will continue to be the and purpose behind the Selective Service system. No one, however, from the realm of their personal experience, can help but be aware that the creation such military might will cause a revolutionary change in the lives of the men who go to make up this force And it would seem to us that the more than can be done to make the transition easier; the more that can be done to alleviate doubt and questioning in the minds of the men; the more that can be done to eliminate constriction—the better for the nation's war effort. In this respect our attention is repeatedly called on present Selective Service system of physical examination Current draftees register, receive a service questionnaire and are called to their local boards for a prefunctory "sing" examination which eliminates only those obviy physically defective. The remainder await their number. When this is received, they are taken enmasse Army reception center where they are examined thoroughly those who are physically unfit are rejected, and thosecepted are given a furlough in which to straighten up affairs at home before actually going into training. Only recently, we understand, that this blanket furlough been offered selectees. It is our opinion that this system of waiting until last minute to accept or reject a selectee or volunteer physically, leads to much indecision, and great constrain in the minds of potential soldiers, both selecand volunteer. It is also our contention that Selective Service disunnecessarily burden themselves with additional "book and trouble by thus placing the "cart before the horse. Why is it not more practical for all concerned the strict code of physical requirements be placed in hands of the physician giving the first physical exam that he might examine selectees thoroughly at outset and allow local boards to decide definitely immediately whether the individual is fit for mili service. Why is it not better in the beginning to say: "Joe, state license number of vehicle.

War Insurance Now Offered Property Owners War damage insurance, issued through local insurance agents, and written on a non-profit basis, is available in Anaheim today, according to A. Curtis Case, spokesman for several insurancemen who recommended the purchase by property owners inasmuch as Federal liability for war damage expires on June 30.
