Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions. When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! FARMER'S ACE A wholesome change is taking place on the farm. Farmers are growing wary of centralized government control. After a decade of trying to fit their existence to the dictates of politics rather than natural laws, the farmers are fed up. Their attitude is best exemplified in their battle against subsidies. Farmers in the future are going to have to depend upon themselves to an increasing extent in reaching sound solutions on agricultural problems. This does not mean that each farmer will have to fight his battle alone. That day is long past. He can now turn to such farmer-owned business organization as the marketing cooperatives. The co-ops help him sell his produce at a fair price. They strive to stabilize supply and demand, while leaving the farmer free to concentrate on the job of production.

The co-ops help him sell his produce at a fair price. They strive to stabilize supply and demand, while leaving the farmer free to concentrate on the job of production. The marketing cooperatives will prove to be the farmer's ace in the hole when disillusionment with "super" government becomes complete.—Ind. News Review. MAKING THE HORSE DRINK Doctor Paul H. Nystrom, Professor of Marketing, Columbia University, in discussing the postwar outlook for retail distribution, expressed the conviction that: "Postwar planning is as necessary in distribution as in production. If industries are to be maintained and full employment provided, selling and distribution are certain to be important factors. Retailing in particular will have a highly important part to play, on the one hand, in interpreting consumer demand to producers, and, on the other, in stimulating those demands for the goods that producers make..." The old saying that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, aptly describes the position in which the United States may find itself after the war. Our industries will have almost unlimited productive capacity to turn out the most elaborate array of necessities and luxuries the world has ever seen. But this will mean nothing unless consumers have the desire and the money to buy the things manufacturers produce. And that is where the distribution industry will step in. Merchants are devising ways to increase efficiency and reduce costs. They are planning more attractive establishments. If is is humanly possible, they will, through advertising and salesmanship, not only lead consumers to "water," but will induce them to "drink." In so doing, they will help mightily to restore the trend toward higher living standards that characterized pre-war America.—News Review. WILLING TO DIE—FOR WHAT? A news release from Pearl Harbor telling of the attack on the Marshall Islands, said: "... The troops must make landings through machine gun and artillery fire, must secure the beachheads and push forward, often yard by yard. ... It will be ... willingness to die which will capture the Marshalls." A news release from Detroit of approximately the same dateline reported that: "A sitdown of more than 1,000 workers in support of demands for a 10-cent an hour wage increase ... threatened production in the Ford Willow Run bomber plant." A news release from Edgewater Beach, New Jersey, also of the same approximate date, gave an account of how two union men had been expelled from the union for conduct "unbecoming to union men." Their offense was testing 22 to 24 trucks a day instead of the union decreed average of 10 to 12.

How long can we expect our men in the armed forces to be willing to die for the nation, if these criminal abuses of freedom are continued?—Industrial News. THE "GREATEST MOTHER" On the invasion beaches, in the battle ravaged jungle and in all the foreign, war-wracked spots where American boys fight today, one warm and hearty hand straight from home reaches out to comfort them. The American Red Cross is there almost with the assault waves, ministering to our sons, its help ranging from handouts of hot coffee and doughnuts to life-saving ambulance and hospital services. Every mother of a boy in uniform must bless this international "Greatest Mother," who may be called on to feed her son a snack at a base canteen or to provide life-sustaining plasma for the young fighter on the battlefield. That the watchful attention of the Red Cross is indispensable overseas is evidenced by the letters of service men themselves, and their gratitude is reiterated by their military leaders. General Eisenhower summed it up when he said, "We consider the Red Cross an auxiliary of the Army. We simply couldn't get along without it. It is doing a perfectly magnificent job." That is all we at home need to know to pitch in and fill our local quotas during the annual drive now in progress here and in every city in America. In peace time we may have to pause before we make our contributions and think over the great work of the Red Cross in aiding the homeless and hurt in fire, flood, earthquake and accident. But not in war time, when our own sons tell us their rough and painful road is lightened by the work of the organization. Our dollars are needed now to support the "Greatest Mother," who crosses barriers neither government nor the military may scale, lifts morale, rekindles life and makes the countless woes of war easier to bear.

WEEKEND VISITOR Miss Nancylee C East Center street,s weekend in Huntington visiting with friends Cong. John Phillips Is Guest Speaker At Lions Club With many visitors present and a large attendance of its own members the Anaheim Lions club entertained as guest speaker at last Friday's noon luncheon meeting, Cong. John Phillips who was in the district for several appearances while here on an official trip from Washington. The speaker was introduced by Program Chairman J. A. Baker. According to Cong. Phillip's version of the situation in Washington the next congress will have a Republican majority, which, he says, is a more wholesome condition than when there were only 60 Republicans out of 435 representatives in congress. He touched upon the apparent world effort that is being made to break down the democratic form of government by discrediting congress. "Congress," he said, "does not attempt to curb the operation of law, but it has been making an effort to curb "regulations" under which the government has been operating that are not a part of the national law," he stated. Referring to the recent tax bill passed over the president's veto, Cong. Phillips said that since the army turned back 27 billion dollars that it could not use last year, he could see no reason for passing a greater tax revenue bill than the one adopted. "Some industries," he said, "are unable to pay their tax bills after their contracts are re-negotiated by the government whereas if..." Referring to the recent tax bill passed over the president's veto, Cong. Phillips said that since the army turned back 27 billion dollars that it could not use last year, he could see no reason for passing a greater tax revenue bill than the one adopted. "Some industries," he said, "are unable to pay their tax bills after their contracts are re-negotiated by the government, whereas if they make profits on their contracts the government would take away 95 percent of it anyway for taxes," he said. Touching on the soldier vote controversy he said the American Youth for Democracy, which is a successor to the "Young Communist League," Harry Bridges and others, have favored the "bobtail" ballot which in most cases could not be filled out properly by the soldiers and would not be counted. He said that 12 million post cards had already been printed when the ballot argument started, which were to be sent to the soldiers for requesting regular state ballots. "Production is the best insurance against inflation and congress wants a better price control than OPA," he said. Lions whose birthdays fell in March were allowed to line up and contribute one cent for each year to the club's benevolent fund. They were, Dr. Paige, Art Wilmsen, Leavitt Ford, Louis Hoskins, Cliff Mann, and Clyde Cromer. Lieut. Harold Redman was introduced by his father-in-law, Lion Stanley Matejka. He is home on furlough from 18 months stay in Iceland, where they have considerable weather, he said. Ration Stamps Are Extended Indefinitely Another shoe stamp, number to be announced later, will become valid on May 1 and no expiration date has been set. Shoe stamp No. 18 in War Book No. 1 will expire April 30. Stamp No. 1 on "airplane" sheet good for one pair of shoes is 50 run indefinitely. Sugar stamp No. 40 in War Ration Book IV, good for 5 lbs. canning sugar, will expire on Feb. 28, 1945, while stamps No. 30 and 31, each good for 5 lbs. of sugar, Pupil Unit Cost Up Slightly; Capital Outlay Reduced Capital outlay spending by the Anaheim elementary school district averaged $0.88 per pupil in average daily attendance for 1942-43, compared with $3.64 for 1941-42, California Taxpayers' association stated today, making public its study of capital outlay spending per pupil in 211 of the larger elementary school districts. Total expenditures of the district per pupil amounted to $117.79 for 1942-43, compared with $113.70 for the year preceding. Debt service is not included. Teachers salaries and other running expenditures of the district averaged $116.91 for 1942-43, compared with $110.06 for 1941-42. Average daily attendance of pupils was 1,203 for 1942-43 and 1,302 for 1941-42. Investigating whether the reductions in capital outlays were actually realized in reductions in total district expenditures, the association said: "With labor and material shortages and the need for priorities for building, decreases in capital outlay were to be expected. However, 38 elementary districts increased capital outlay spending per pupil. "Of the 211 districts studied, 172 showed reductions in capital outlays per pupil in 1942-43 compared with 1941-42. One district showed no change. "Seventy-seven of the districts which cut capital outlays per pupil did so by $5 or more. Fifteen of these 77 districts failed to effect any of the possible economy; in fact they added more to unit costs for current operations than they reduced capital expenditures. Twenty-two of the 77 districts reduced their total expenses by at least as much as their capital outlay reduction; 25 went down more than half; fifteen, while realizing a fraction of the possible economy, cut total costs by less than half the capital outlay unit cost reduction."
