Letter Written By Lt. "Wally" Teed Has Value to All Young Selectees So valuable to all youths just entering military service, was the advice offered by Lieut. Charles Wallace Teed to his younger brother Robert Teed of Yorba Linda, that we take the liberty of reprinting Lieut. Teed's letter from a recent issue of the Yorba Linda Star. Lieut. Teed is well known in Anaheim, where a host of friends remember him as "Wally," popular member of Fullerton high school and junior college student body. Minus its family personalities, the letter reads: "In regard to your entering the armed services . . . I think you are really going to like it. Be sure and get a good night's sleep the night before you go in because your first day will be a tough one, filling out forms, etc. At the end of the day you will have an intelligence exam that really counts heavy in this army. Almost the entire placement system is based on it, and secondly your training. "When you take the examination go through and do the ones that you can do as quickly as possible. Don't spend any time pondering over tricky ones; just tear thru the easy ones and then go back and pick up the others. The same applies to all army mechanical clerical and-so-on tests. Those good grades will mean a lot. And for heaven's sake don't be afraid to speak up on your interview. Let them know what you can do. Tell them of your typing experience. List your occupation as student, and then in the lesser occupations and hobbies mention other accomplishments such as stagecraft, lighting, etc. Don't soft pedal any of your accomplishments. Play up your administrative training such as bookkeeping, etc., plenty heavy" "Be sure to get yourself fixed up so that you can dress neatly. As soon as you are issued your uniform and get to your first post go to the post tailor and have your clothes altered to fit snugly, especially your shirts. It doesn't take long for the commanding officer to pick out a good soldier. Also polish your shoes and belt buckle constantly. Be willing to work hard and be ambitious at whatever lousy job they dig up for you, and believe me, they will do that more than once. "The first few weeks will be the hardest. You will have to make up your mind to standing for hours at a time in long lines, but learn to relax and enjoy it, as you will do it all of the time in the army. Also don't let some of these wise guy sergeants, and non-coms get you down, they may be dumb as nails but they have the authority, and remember to take their orders quietly and wait for the day that you will boss them. And I have had that joyful experience several times; it is worth waiting for. For heaven's sake don't ever lose your temper and I'll guarantee you it will be hard to keep some of the time. I still run in to that. After your rooky training is over you will begin to enjoy it. Be sure to take every grab at recreation you can get. The USO is pretty good nowadays. In fact in some places it is excellent. You will be in with every kind of person that exists and you will have to choose your friends. Don't drag your standards down to comply with any of the low class or you are sunk. There are a lot of wonderful people in the army and lots of scum. There is every opportunity to meet the finest and the lowest girls in the Summary Presented On Year’s Aid To County’s Needy Even under war conditions and all the financial outlay involved Orange county's needy like those of the state of California as a whole, received generous aid during the year which ended officially on March 31, 1943. For figures submitted by California Taxpayers' association in its annual study of the question, showed that the sum paid by the state as aid to the needy was far in excess of 87 million dollars. This aid as extended in Orange county alone totaled $1,593,482 for the year, with the county itself providing $425,482. The remainder of the sum was made up by $405,575 from state funds, and $762,438 from federal funds. In making the summary public, the association pointed out that post war plans for relief must take into account a possible curtailment of federal money available for relief payments, because of demands on the federal treasury estimated at a minimum of 12 billion dollars. The summary declared "Citizens cannot overlook the fact that the principal source of revenue for finance enormous federal expenditures, is borrowed money. The war makes this necessary but cannot continue indefinitely. We must be prepared to live within our income when peace comes." In post-war demands on the federal treasury for military debt costs becomes so great that relief payments must be curtailed, California can expect to receive less rather than more federal money to help pay for the state's public assistance program. This means that (1) state and local costs and taxes must go up (2) the number of persons receiving relief must be cut; (3) amounts of relief given must Those good grades will mean a lot. And for heaven's sake don't be afraid to speak up on your interview. Let them know what you can do. Tell them of your typing experience. List your occupation as student, and then in the lesser occupations and hobbies mention other accomplishments such as stagecraft, lighting, etc. Don't soft pedal any of your accomplishments. Play up your administrative training such as bookkeeping, etc., plenty heavy because that is the foundation for all good setups in the army. Also put in a plug for your mechanical ability, if you can. I think that Air Corps Mechanic is a pretty good deal and you have a good chance for O.C.S. after a few months in the mechanical schools of the army. Grab every chance for any kind of a school you can in the army because that is a good way to get ahead. AT FIRST SIGN OF A COLD USE 666 666 TABLETS. SALVE. NOSE DROPS Fashion Triumph In Sports Wear!

U.S. Treasury Department "I RISE TO REMARK" By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS There was one factor involved in the second clash of philosophies, not mentioned last week. Woodrow Wilson was an executive. An executive is a man who selects able men to do certain jobs; defines their authorities and responsibilities clearly, and then tells them to go ahead and do the work. He delegates the authority previously centered in himself. An executive is also a man who treats his personal friends exactly as he treats anyone else. He demands ability and results. Last week's column showed you the results in figures; practically, you can see the results locally upon your own lives and pocketbooks. The third clash of philosophies between the food administration program of 1918 and the food administration program of 1943 is the most important of the four this column is discussing. It is the attitude of each program toward PRODUCTION. Without production, there will be no food. Even a youthful Friends Pay Final Tribute To T. E. Stephenson (Continued from page 17) tened to Rawlins to make arrangements for the return of father's body to Santa Ana long his home city. Probably no man in O' county ever had gained a circle of friends than Terry Senson, attracted by his stale qualities of manhood, and the cerity and cheerfulness of friendliness that he felt for him. Although born in Texas, he spent the greater part of his in California, and had so idied himself with the state that was recognized as an authoritative state and local history. He educated in the schools of O' and Santa Ana, finishing at Ford University before embarking upon a newspaper career. It was on his first full newspaper job with the B.Publican that he met the society editor, Cora Belle Snake who became his wife in a long companionship that broken only last August with passing. Terry Stephenson was their only child, but the home has been shared with many young nephews and including Mrs. Edmund Wear former Louise Stephenson, co-owner of J. B. Stephenson of canso. Returning to Santa Ana 30 years ago, Terry Stephenson became associated with Baumgartner in editing and lishing the Santa Ana Rebut disposed of his new holdings in 1927. In the meantime he served as Santa Ana master from 1923 until 1935 signing that post to become ange county treasurer, then he held at the time of his pardon. His study and research Southland history resulted in Home when peace comes. Post-war demands on the treasury for military and posts become so great that payments must be curtail California can expect to recess rather than more federally to help pay for the public assistance programs. Means that (1) state and posts and taxes must go up; a number of persons receive relief must be cut; (3) the costs of relief given must be used, and (4) other services government must be cut. These facts should be kept in mind considering relief compts by the state and councine association stated, point out that it is much more difficult to take an individual off and much harder on that usual, than if relief had not started. Even if you do get sent in ways from home you will lots of interesting places over you go. And meeting people is a lot of fun. Hard your valuables carefully.

Department heads lack the needed definitions of their authorities. Men who should be fired are kept in office, but the work is given to others, or a new "administration" is set up, at least partially duplicating theirs. A man who has failed in the job given him in some internal matter, is "promoted" to some world inclusive job, and the job on which he failed is added to the duties of some other, or some new, appointee. We have the constant picture of inter-bureau quarrels, and even intrabureau quarrels. There are many more employees than are needed in good business practice.

He delegates the authority previously centered in himself. An executive is also a man who treats his personal friends exactly as he treats anyone else. He demands ability and results. If he favors his friends, or overlooks their shortcomings, or fails to recognize their abilities, he is not an executive. Woodrow Wilson came from a college background. He suffered the post-war-1918 pre-war-1939 interim. But more than one of the men who worked under him, especially in his cabinet, has told me personally that Wilson held frequent "councils"; that the heads of departments and bureaus "fought it out" before him. Usually this settled the arguments; if not, he settled them. Once settled, all turned to it to make the decisions work successfully. It is different here today. Department heads lack the needed definitions of their authorities. Men who should be fired are kept in office, but the work is given to others, or a new "administration" is set up, at least partially duplicating theirs.

These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago May 16, 1918 Many women in the audience were in teams at the Chautauqua meeting on Thursday afternoon when Capt. E. H. Longher of the American Army who has lately returned from France, related first hand information of the progress of the war and of the brutalities practiced by the Prussian invaders upon the helpless French civilians. On Saturday Capt David Fallon an Australian, who was with the British Army in the Gallipoli campaign told a graphic story of this terrible disaster, his regiment one thousand strong lost all but 43 of its men. He testified that the stories we have read of atrocities committed by German soldiers are not exaggerated. In fact the full truth has not been told. The captain called attention to his shattered right arm "I got that out in No Man's Land at the Somme," he said, "I met two Germans out there, but they are both in hell." Each threw a grenade at me and I lost no time in handing them one of my own. One of the German missiles went over my head, the other fell at my feet, and I succeeded in throwing it back before it exploded. Both Germans were blown to pieces, but I was so close that fragments of the shell stripped the flesh from my right forearm, broke my left arm, broke my jaw and wounded me in the breast. I remained in a shell hole for three days and nights, on the fourth night I crept to our lines." Capt. Fallon also told of the inhuman treatment of wounded Allies taken by the Germans. After the lecture many in the audience purchased the book "The Big Fight" Gallipoli to 50 Years Ago MAY 18, 1893 Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Browning entertained their friends at a progressive euchre party at their beautiful country home last Friday evening. The palatial mansion was beautifully decorated, the spacious parlors being transformed into bowers of lovely flowers, the grounds without being gaily lighted with lanterns. During the evening a very tempting supper was served. The first lady's prize, a silver souvenir spoon, bearing an engraving of the mansion, was won by Mrs. Horr, the second, a cup and saucer, by Mrs. Cole. The first gentleman's prize, a silver match case, was won by Henry Kuchel, the second, a silver ash receiver, by Plez James. The booby prizes went to Mrs. Fred Crist and Mr. Kendall. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Browning, Mrs. Josephine Butler, Mrs. Stern, Mr. and Mrs. H. Cahen, Mr. and Mrs. Plez James, Mr. and Mrs. G. V. Horr, Mr. and Mrs. R.

The following Board of Directors of the reading room and library Returning to Santa Ana some years ago, Terry Stephenson came associated with J. P. Bumgartner in editing and publishing the Santa Ana Register, disposed of his newspaper findings in 1927. In the meantime served as Santa Ana postmaster from 1923 until 1935, renaming that post to become Orange county treasurer, the post held at the time of his passing. His study and research into southland history resulted in such books as "Caminos Viejos" ("Old Roads"), "Shadows of Old Sadback," "Don Bernardo Yorba," and others. They furthered an interest in county history expressed through prominence in Orange County Historical society, as a director of Bowers Memorial Museum, and similar activities. His interests also included American Red Cross in which he served as president of the sixth county chapter. Press association, membership in Episcopal Church of the Messiah, and various financial organizations. Funeral services yesterday afternoon in the Smith and Tuthill Chapel, Santa Ana, were conducted by the Rev. Wesley Havermale, pastor of Church of the Messiah, with burial in Fairhaven cemetery on the side of his lifetime commion, Mrs. Stephenson. The large crowd of grieving friends, the wealth of floral tributes, and the prominent men serving as full-bearers, attested the esteem in which Mr. Stephenson was held at the entire county. CHARLES W. UNDERHILL, 74, Wednesday, May 4 at his home West Lincoln avenue, leaving his widow, Mrs. Lenore Underhill at the home, a son, Harold N. Underhill of Hartford, Conn., and two daughters, Mrs. Hazel Walzs of Denver, Colo., and Miss Laura Underhill of Los Angeles. A native of Illinois, he had lived in California for the past 10 years, and came to Anaheim in 1922. The remains were shipped back to Denver Colo., by Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars, for final ties and burial in that city. Nosegay Topper Germans were blown to pieces, but I was so close that fragments of the shell stripped the flesh from my right forearm, broke my left arm, broke my jaw and wounded me in the breast. I remained in a shell hole for three days and nights, on the fourth night I crept to our lines." Capt. Fallon also told of the inhuman treatment of wounded Allies taken by the Germans. After the lecture many in the audience purchased the book "The Big Fight, Gallipoli to the Somme," by Capt. Fallon, each copy was autographed by the author. Forrest Callan and Miss Selma Salverson were united in marriage on Wednesday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and H. Salverson of 410 East Chapman avenue, Fullerton. Rev. Howard C. Clark of the Methodist church officiating. Only relatives of the bride and groom were present at the ceremony. Immediately following the tying of the knot the young people left on a motor trip to Santa Barbara and will be away about a week. When they return they will be at home to their friends on the ranch of the groom on West Orangethorpe avenue. The bride is well known having lived all her life in Fullerton and was chief operator for the Home telephone company for ten years, giving up the position only two weeks ago. The groom, better known as "Buster" Callan is well known as one of Fullerton's best ball players and is the idol of the local base ball fans. A picturesque wedding scene was enacted in Santiago Canyon Sunday, when Miss Jennie Dempke and Walter Mickle were united in marriage under a spreading oak, a large number of friends who were enjoying a picnic in the canyon being witnesses. The wedding was a surprise to most of the guests as they had assembled in the canyon to celebrate the wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mickle and the birthdays of Mrs. Olga Boege and Mrs. Mary Orth. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mary Hill of Los Angeles. Miss Blanche Mickle, sister of the groom acted as bridesmaid and Charles Luedke as groomsman. The young couple left for the north on a wedding hike. The following Board of Directors of the reading room and library were elected at a meeting held at the irrigation office on Tuesday afternoon: Miss Minnie Zeyn, H. Clay Kellogg, W. L. Dunlap, B. V. Garwood, Lloyd Bailey, Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Heald. The Board will meet to organize at the irrigation office this evening. Forty dollars have been paid in and there is yet quite a sum outstanding, which we are requested to say should be paid up at once. Two hundred and thirty shares have been subscribed. Delinquent subscribers are requested to step up and pay their subscriptions. Gus Schade went up to Los Angeles the other day to have a conference with Santa Fe officials about the hiring of a box car to take a party of tourists to Chicago to see the fair and to advertse the "Mother Colony on wheels." Gus says it was a long time before he could find the proper official, and then was told his scheme wouldn't work at all, but after insisting and going further into the details of the proposition he was given a figure, which he says was out of sight, so he doesn't know whether the party will go to the fair in a box car or not. A rather unusual sight was seen on Center street early Friday morning. A big jack rabbit, which had probably been scared out of some neighboring orchard by dogs, turned into the street and before he noticed his mistake, was in the business portion of the city. The jack was frightened at the passing teams, dogs and yelling boys, and came down the street car track at an evaporating gait. Near the opera house the runaway almost ran into a young colt, badly frightening the latter, after which the jack turned down Olive street and soon evaporated out of sight.

Cole Thursday afternoon, a two course luncheon being served at the close of the games. Five tables were necessary to accommodate the players. Mrs. Joe Carroll won the first prize. Mrs. Arthur Lewis the second and Mrs. J. M. Bradley the consolation. Among the guests present were Mesdames Jos. Bennerscheidt, J. M. Bradley, J. J. Dwyer, J. Hartung, J. Janss, G. W. Sandilands, A.

Young lady members of the Red Cross will give a Red Cross tea in the parlors of the Valencia hotel next Thursday. The hotel management donates the use of the parlors, the Oyster Loaf Cafe furnishing without cost the tea and coffee, while the bakeries supply the cake. Miss Lucy Zeigler and Miss Thompson have charge of the refreshments while Misses Margaret Junge and Carries Evans will arrange the musical program. Tickets for the tea will cost 25 cents. Major McNally has asked for an option on 800 acres of land adjoining his recent two thousand acre purchase east of Buena Park. The option is said to be at $9 per acre, the land being assessed at $5 per acre. The two thousand acre tract is assessed at $15 per acre, and probably brought $35. Much of the 800 acre tract is practically valueless, and may be turned into sheep pasture, although it is said the tract contains a rich bed of potters clay, which will be developed. If the clay turns out well, the bed will be worth a mint of money. Billy Fox and George Thompson left a couple of weeks ago for Seattle, going by way of San Pedro. At the latter port they boarded a vessel that was manned by a non-union crew, and were detained some days by the Sailor's Union, who caused the arrest of the entire party. After spending several days at San Pedro they finally succeeded in getting away and are now probably at their destination. Joe des Granges has fitted up an electric lighting plant at his mill on the corner of Lemon street and Broadway, and has had some very fine incandescent lights burning during the week.
