Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXIV A Legal Newspaper ANAHEIM We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR In and About "The Orange Capitol of the World" If you have been accustomed to having your barber brighten your eyes with a few drops of soothing eye lotion after you've been shaved, and probably liked it, you won't get that service any more: Somebody has had a legal ruling. But, to give the devil his dues, the match makers have never profiteered, as far as value received is concerned. In your line, how much business could you do for a penny? Well, the match makers have done up a package of OPA Sets Processor Grapefruit Juice for 'Poppy Day' Will Be Fri. and Sat. "Poppy Day," that day set aside to commemorate the memories of the heroes who fought and died in our past wars, will be observed in Anaheim, as well as over the nation, on Friday and Saturday when workers will sell small, re-paper poppies so significant of the blood shed on the battle field of France during the first World war. Millions of these hand-made poppies have been sold since the inception of "Poppy Day" in 1918 when Miss Miana Michael originated the idea. Miss Michael's death was mourned only recently when she passed away in Athens Ga. If you have been accustomed to having your barber brighten your eyes with a few drops of soothing eye lotion after you've been shaved, and probably liked it, you won't get that service any more! Somebody has had a legal ruling made declaring that dropping eye lotion in your eye is practicing medicine and the law won't allow barbers to practice medicine. As a matter of fact a barber is properly a "doctor," and you will not be out of line if you address your barber as Doctor. In former times tonsorial artists practiced surgery and dentistry when they weren't busy applying a shave or haircut. Henry VIII, I believe, had something to do with eliminating surgery from the barber's practice but as late as 1750 most of the dental work was done by the professional barbers. This new ruling about the eye drops appears to be likely to bring on complications. By way of retaliation, it is said, a movement will probably be started to stop medical doctors from using razors in their trade. So the next time you suddenly decide to have your appendix out you may have to wait until the barber gets there to do the exterior part of the operation before the surgeon can open you up so he can get at your innerds. I never lived in such a complex place as this world is getting to be, but when we all get each other stopped from doing what we're doing, then we won't even have to work any more. Hurray! When the big world peace conference was held, 15 years or so ago, a meeting to insure peace forever, the Russian delegation proposed that all the nations represented completely disarm so that no nation could wage a war. Their theory was that any nation that continually prepares for war will sooner or later start one, for some reason, or no reason at all. Us, and all the rest of the big shots, said to the Russian delegation, "We don't believe we can trust you," whereupon the Russians put on their hats and went home and started getting ready for the war they are how fighting, and which they knew by the attitude of the peace conference would eventually be forced upon But, to give the devil his dues, the match makers have never profiteered, as far as value received is concerned. In your line, how much business could you do for a penny? Well, the match makers have done up a package of matches in a nicely printed box with a sand-scratcher on two sides, with 44 stick matches in each box that retails for only one cent. I don't believe you can beat that bargain, and I don't believe they have ever spent one cent for advertising. When I was a kid in the Indian Territory I have seen the fullbloods make camp and start their fires by striking two flint rocks together, but how many of you could do it? Nobody but a Boy Scout, and not too many of them. And I'll bet the Ohio Match Company of Wadsworth, Ohio, won't even send me a carton of matches for all this free propaganda, because they don't have to advertise. I'll let you know if they do. It seems to me, at least, that there is a lot of misguided effort being wasted just now, at a time when conservation is the general order of the day. I'm afraid that a lot of organizations, some operating under the name or guise of religion, are intentionally, or unintentionally, throwing monkey-wrenches into the machinery. The latest fad is to stage letter writing campaigns, directed to senators and congressmen in particular, touching on some phase of religion or appeasement, or what not. In the first place the congressmen and senators are too busy to be flooded with millions of letters of that character. The mail services are taxed to the limit, as are all the transportation facilities. And, although these letter-writing fans may not know it, there is a dire shortage of envelopes. It is impossible nowadays to buy enough envelopes to supply the needs of either government or business, both of which are perhaps necessary. Personally I believe these letter writing campaigns that run into the millions should be put off until after the war. Then if anybody wants to write letters sympathizing with the Japs it won't do any harm American Legion To Sponsor 17th Baseball Program In co-operation with the American Legion's 17th annual Junior Baseball program, the Ford Motor Company and its dealers throughout the country again will give support and encouragement to the more than 20,000 teams, J.R.Davis, Ford Western regional manager, announced today. Many dealers will be sponsors or co-sponsors of teams and will provide local and sectional trophies, uniforms and other equipment, Davis said. The national championship team again will be awarded the Ford trophy, a sterling silver plaque won last year by the team sponsored by the Richfield, Minneapolis, Post No. 435. Wartime drainage of teen-aged youths has prompted Ford dealers to take an increasing interest in the Legion's program, designed to provide a strong physical background and education in good sportsmanship and good citizenship, Davis stated. Baker Majority Grows; No Run-off Supervisor J. A. Baker's majority in the primary election contest with Harry D. Riley as an opponent, continued to grow until the final count of ballots, not including the absentee votes which will be opened on June 2. Baker's majority stood at 854 when the votes were all counted and with no opponent on the Democratic ticket his election is now final and he will not have to Their theory was that any nation that continually prepares for war will sooner or later start one, for some reason, or no reason at all. Us, and all the rest of the big shots, said to the Russian delegation, "We don't believe we can trust you," whereupon the Russians put on their hats and went home and started getting ready for the war they are how fighting, and which they knew by the attitude of the peace conference would eventually be forced upon them. There has been war after war for as long as history is recorded and there are some who claim that there is no cure. If there is any reason at all for the earth being inhabited there must be some better way of making use of the population than disposing of them through the murder route, which we call war, and which we camouflage as patriotism. Do we have to choose between race suicide and murder, or what is it all about anyway? The only advantage to growing old that I can see is that you will remember a lot of things that younger people won't even know about. If you were here and old enough to remember, forty years ago there were only two match factories in the United States. That was before everybody smoked cigarettes and matches were used then mostly for starting fires. We had the old sulphur match, which could stink you out of the house if the windows weren't all open, and if you stayed long enough for it to start blazing. In the meantime, it has become necessary to use so many matches that no two factories could supply the demand and I don't know how many factories are making matches now, but I believe we've got them working overtime. As a matter of fact the match makers are taking a free ride on the advertising of the cigarette manufacturers, because you can't do anything with a cigarette unless you have a match. When I was a kid in what is now "New" Oklahoma we didn't have the advantages that most other sections had even at that time. Before that country was settled by the white people I lived at a military post where we had a sixth grade school, taught by a private soldier who probably hadn't even been to high school himself. After the country was settled we finally got eighth grade schools in the new towns that sprung up and more sixth grade schools in the newly settled outlying districts. There wasn't too much discipline in those schools, taught mostly by eighth grade graduates, some of whom had had as much as eight weeks training at "normal" schools. Under the circumstances I spent most of my time in school reading such books as The Swiss Family Robinson, Black Beauty, Undine, Twin Hells, Around the World in 80 Days, or whatever else I could get hold of, and studying diagrams of type cases and printing machines. I gave the school lessons a quick reading and recited them in class from memory and usually got a grade of 100 on my papers. I jumped from the sixth grade to the eighth and one year got to go to school for five whole months. We had to haul and cut our own wood to heat the school house and furnish our own chalk and erasers for the blackboard. We had no supervised play, no 4-H clubs, no Boy Scouts, and no student body activities. We attended school, worked, made our own amusement and fun, if we had any. I'm afraid the boys and girls today don't know how well off they are; or are they? Sets Processor Prices on Orange, Grapefruit Juice for California, Arizona Day Day' Will Tri. and Sat.

A special feature of the day was the presence of Dick Miller of Huntington Beach, holder of six world records in fly and bait cast- ing. He piled up four more records Sunday when he broke the distance records for fly and salmon. S. B. Kaufman W Quit As Assistant District Attorney S. B.

Final Totals on Primary Balloting to be Known June 2 When Absentee’s Opened Associated C of C Have Fish Dinner And Meeting Tues The Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county met Tuesday night in Seal Beach where they enjoyed a fish dinner at Sam’s Sea Food cafe preceding the general business meeting. The new naval ordnance depot being constructed at Seal Beach was described by the office in charge of construction and who will be in charge of maintenance and operation after it is built. David Olmstead of Long Beach, master of ceremonies, introduced Candidates who participated in the primary election on May 16, as well as others interested in the outcome of the voting, are anxiously waiting for the final totals which will be known when the absentee ballots are opened on Friday, June 2. Belated ballots are still coming in by mail, according to County Clerk B. J. Smith, approximately 525 of the absentee votes having arrived up to Wednesday morning. It is not expected, however, than the absentee vote will change any of the results of the contests over figures already given out since it is assumed that the winners, according to the present standing, will at least hold their own in the balloting by absentee Organize Orange County to Help Collect Clothing for Russian War Victims Unemployed Army In Spite of Help Wanted Everywhere SACRAMENTO. — California's unemployment insurance funds stood at $501,301,580.13 as of May 1, according to a report made today by the California Employment Stabilization Commission. During April, the Department paid $1,001,047 in unemployment insurance to 14,569 persons, which was 29 per cent less than in the previous month, but 19 per cent higher than for the same month of 1943. For the first four months of 1944, a total of $3,852,761 was paid in unemployment insurance benefits, approximately the same figure as for the first four months of 1943. During April of this year, 15,101 initial claims for unemployment insurance were filed with the Department, an increase of two per cent over March, but seven per cent under April of 1943. Help! Wanted Help! Wanted At Big U. S. Navy Ordnance Depot Several big construction jobs have started at the Marine Air Base and at Seal Beach. The construction companies holding the contracts which call for completion within a specified period are critically handicapped by the lack of a sufficient number of general laborers to keep the job on schedule. The United States Employment Service urges every person in the community to assist on the recruitment of men available for this vital work. Full information concerning these jobs may be obtained at 501 W. Fifth St., Santa Ana. These are union jobs and statements of availability are required. IN SAN FRANCISCO Mrs. Henry Kuchel accompanied her son, Senator Thomas H. Kuchel, and Mrs. Kuchel, to San Francisco this week for an extended visit. Senator Kuchel, now a lieutenant in the Navy, came home to vote on election day and is reporting for duty at the naval base this week end. RETURNS TO POMONA M. L. Proctor returned to Pomona today after spending a few days at the home of his son, Jake Proctor, and Mrs. Proctor, 271 East Center street. for the formality of having his name on the general election ballot. He is at present a lieutenant in the U. S. Navy, stationed in San Francisco, but will go on active status when the legislature convenes for the duration of the sessions, as he did during the recent special session. Supervisor James A. Baker appears to have a safe lead over his opponent, Harry D. Riley, his majority now standing at 854. An even break on the absentee ballots would not change the situation. The count of the ballots now stands at 5,709 for Baker and 4,855 for Riley. Polling over a half million votes in the State U. S. Senator Sheridan Downey, Democrat, will be opposed in the general election by Lt.-Gov. Fredrick Houser, winner of the Republican nomination against a large field of primary election candidates. Sam Collins of Fullerton was returned to his post as state assemblyman by the primary, defeating his opponent by a wide margin. Interest in the November election in Orange county will center around the presidential election and the U. S. senator race, since practically all local races were settled in the primary election.
