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! WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS. The reaction to D-Day in the Congress was impressive. Both houses, meeting separately of course, were led in prayer by their Chaplains, and the members of both houses stood silently, and then repeated the Lord's Prayer. The "one-minute speeches" which precede each session, seemed more like prayers. Mass and special services were held in the Capitol. We wait for more news with the same anxiety as do the folks back home. There is a feeling here that we may not yet have been fully informed of the costs. Take fruit cake for example: The instructions to bakers on how to bake a fruit cake filled four pages, letter size pages, very small type. When the bakers read it, they couldn't understand it. So they sent a committee to Washington to ask to have it simplified. The simplified regulation is Amendment 7 to Maximum Price Regulation 319: "All commodities listed in Appendix A are those known to the trade as such excepting therefrom." houses, meeting separately of course, were led in prayer by their Chaplains, and the members of both houses stood silently, and then repeated the Lord's Prayer.

We wait for more news with the same anxiety as do the folks back home. There is a feeling here that we may not yet have been fully informed of the costs of the landing in killed and wounded. I recognize the urgency of the need for care in releasing news which might in any way give information to the enemy, but I repeat what I have said several times in this column; the American people can take it. I do not like the idea of having anyone adjust the news to what he thinks we ought to be told. It is a curious thing that a survey made recently should have come to my desk during the debate on the OPA Bill. The question was asked in all parts of the U.S., "Should OPA price control be confined to essentials?" You'll recall this is one of the things I have talked about. The job was so much better done in World War I, from the standpoint of administrative details. One reason is, it was confined to essentials. This is what the people think about it now: 60.4% answered "Yes," 39.6% answered "No." More interesting was the division geographically. In the New England states it was 57.9% Yes and 42.1% No; in the South it was 45.8% Yes and 54.2% No; the average for all the west was 60.0% Yes and 40.0% No. But for the PACIFIC COAST, the percentages were 81.5% Yes and 18.5% No. The west still thinks for itself. The reason is the attempt to freeze prices on more than 8 MILLION articles. The regulations for the foods alone are estimated to cover 7,800 pages, each page of about 2,000 words of very fine print. These are in more than 15 volumes. That's 15,690,000 words, if you care to figure it out. Who Take fruit cake for example: The instructions to bakers on how to bake a fruit cake filled four pages, letter size pages, very small type. When the bakers read it, they couldn't understand it. So they sent a committee to Washington to ask to have it simplified. The simplified regulation is Amendment 7 to Maximum Price Regulation 319: "All commodities listed in Appendix A are those known to the trade as such excepting therefrom such thereof, if any, while subject to another regulation." "Now," as Congressman Hartley of New Jersey said, when he read this to the Congress, "Now, go out and bake yourself a fruit cake." John Dierberger Summoned By Death John E. Dierberger died at his home on Mable street Monday evening. He was 52 years old.

Ben Birenbaum has receive card from Al Erickson announc LOOKING AHEAD Many Employers By GEORGE S. BENSON President of Harding College Searcy, Arkansas THREE MEN out of four in the United States work for somebody else; can not say truthfully that they manage their own economic affairs. Most Americans do, however, have a lot to say about the conditions of their employment. Workers who are very competent, whose skill or knowledge is hard to duplicate, often fare better than their employers; live as well with less work and worry. Craftsmen and workers at all kinds of formularized jobs likewise have, by right of collective bargaining, a lot to say about where they work, how long and for how much. In my opinion, the birth of the Trade Union in 1881 at Terre Haute, Ind., was a development in human progress equal in significance to the signing of the famous Magna Charta at Runnymede, 666 years before. No Work WAGES have hit Monopoly higher levels in this country than anywhere (ever) partly because we have many employers. Many men with capital are lured into ventures of their own for financial gain wherever private enterprises offer opportunity for gain. When Free Enterprise works without restraint, the number of employers is large. Many employers make competition; nobody has a monopoly on employment. After this war, the gravest danger for 75 per cent of us, we who work for somebody else, is a shortage of jobs. Prosperity depends on full employment. If private business does not offer plenty of jobs for discharged service men and former war-workers, they will have a right to ask the government to step in and take over industry. The bad feature is that government is just one employer. Only One EVERY time government takes over a plant there's one less employer. For a while some hardy private operators might hold out, trying to compete with governmental monopoly, but they couldn't last. Finally working men would have only one employer to serve; no place to seek a better job, no hope except to stay in the groove and keep friendly with whoever holds the whip hand. America can get this without even trying. There are easy blunders by which government might force Private Enterprise to fail; could positively block business from providing work after the war. Simply holding today's war-time tax laws in force will make peace-time profits so nearly impossible that no firm would dare start a new venture to create new jobs. Already the shackles of dictatorship have been fitted to our ankles and the war's end will lock them on, if only we sit still a little longer. Two main things need doing now: Government should (1) tell industry if post-war taxes will permit peace-time operation, and (2) state whether government owned factories will be trusted to private hands or built into a socialistic system. Mrs. L. F. Pomeroy entertains the Elite club at her home Thursday afternoon. The ladies share the time in playing games, W. J. Lake being winner of first prize, Mrs. Louis Kroger second and Mrs. R.

Trustees Helmsen, Lewis and McWilliams were present at the meeting. Trustee McWilliams spoke of the deplorable condition of many of the wooden bridges which require constant care and are in the main more or less of a nuisance.

Herman Birenbaum has received a copy from Al Frickson announcing Trustee McWilliams spoke of the deplorable condition of many of the wooden bridges which require constant care and are in the main more or less of a nuisance. New pipelines ought to be substituted, and the sooner the better. Let us have the new pipe improvement. In this connection the question again arises, who is responsible for keeping bridges in repair? It is the general law that water companies occupying public highways for the purpose of constructing ditches, must keep all bridges and crossings in repair. When the Anahema Vineyard association in 1860 dedicated the streets for public use, an agreement was drawn up to that effect, but the instrument was inadvertently misplaced. It is conceded that the Water company has a right to build ditches on Broadway, owing to it being not delineated on the map at the time of dedication of streets and possibly Sycamore street may be claimed by the company, but it is held that the city can compel the water board to remove their ditches from all other streets if they so desired, as they were never given the privilege to construct their waterways on the public streets. However, if the company keeps the bridges in repair, perhaps the city will keep quiet and do nothing but saw wood. In the meantime the matter was left to the City Attorney, who will probe into the question and arrive at some solution. The closing exercises at St. Catherine's academy took place on Wednesday at 10 A.M.

Mr. and Mrs. William Konig celebrated their silver wedding Monday evening. They were serenaded by the Fullerton band and the many guests were regaled clubhouse. Art Wilmsen acted as tailwister in the absence of Joe Scholz. Frank Tausch was program chairman for the day and introduced the speaker, Superior Judge Franklin West who presides over the juvenile court. Judge West did not speak on juvenile delinquency, a much discussed topic these days, but rather explained to the Lions how his branch of the court operates. The policy of the juvenile court, he said, is to treat and rehabilitate the juveniles who get into difficulty without hailing them into open court and otherwise making them feel as if they were criminals. All cases are heard in private with parents or guardian present and each case is handled on the basis of its own circumstances. Since 1915, Judge West said, the number of juvenile cases handled by the department of the superior court has jumped from 115 to 920 cases in 1943. He attributed a lot of the troubles involving juveniles to neglect in the homes where all members of the family are working, divorces, too much money, and liquor. Out of 15 percent Mexican population in the county, 40 percent of the juvenile delinquents are Mexicans, he said, citing the case of one 15-year-old Mexican boy brought into the court who said he was earning $400 a month. Seventy-five percent of all civil cases in the superior court are divorce and family trouble cases, indicating that the adults are not maintaining the proper home life to influence the juvenile along the right paths.

"I know that worn electric cords can cause blown fuses and other inconveniences, so I repair my appliance and lamp cords as soon as the insulation frays. It's easy to do! If the cord is frayed in the middle, each wire should be wrapped separately with electrician's tape, with no bare wires left exposed. Then tape the two wires together. For repairing cords frayed near the plug, follow these simple instructions:" IMPORTANT! First disconnect the cord from the outlet! 1. Unloosen screws and pull wires from plug. 2. Cut off frayed part of wires. 3. Scrape insulation off ends of wires, reconnect plug. RIGHT WAY—Wires around prongs. When cord is pulled, strain is put on prongs instead of connection. WRONG WAY—Wires not wrapped around prongs. A quick pull might tear them loose.
