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" "What man can imagine, he can do." If we can get our imaginations to working as well for peace time pursuits as we do for war purposes, then, can you imagine the things we can accomplish for sleeve insignias worn by the various branches of the armed forces there are exactly 99 different kinds of medals and service ribbons worn by the service men. I can't see any reason for one "What man can imagine, he can do." If we can get our imaginations to working as well for peace time pursuits as we do for war purposes, then, can you imagine the things we can accomplish for the good of humanity? For instance, conjure with the possibilities of the robot plane, now being used by Germany to bomb and kill civilians. They claim they have a robot plane that will cross the Atlantic carrying a ten-ton load of bombs, and no doubt they have, because they imagined such a thing. If that can be done, why would it not be reasonable to imagine that such planes can be used to carry harmless loads of freight over land or sea? With the benefit of radio, or some other system, it is not unreasonable to imagine that they can be controlled and landed without crashing, as they are now allowed to do with their bomb loads. Consider the flat-bottom, sea-going landing barges, used now to deliver and take on cargoes at the beaches. These boats could be used in peacetime to bring cargoes of raw materials from isolated landing places on the islands and mainlands, including everything from cattle to saw logs. And so on, and so on. If we can think as well for constructive purposes, when peace comes, as we do in time of war, there's no telling what miracles will be performed. Times have changed quite a bit since "away back when." I remember once when a columnist on the paper where I worked got called on the carpet and almost lost his job on account of an "undignified" squib in his column which said: "We saw some very pretty things in ladies' hosiery while strolling on Main street today." That was in the days of modesty, before women started posing in the nude for pictures to be printed in the papers, and when legs were referred to as "limbs." Even the men blushed in those days, and no woman would appear on the street with her legs bare. False modesty perhaps, but maybe better than no modesty at all. The Fifth Cotton Research Congress just held in Dallas brought some encouraging news to cotton sleeve insignias worn by the various branches of the armed forces there are exactly 99 different kinds of medals and service ribbons worn by the service men. I can't see any reason for one branch of the service to look down on another branch, but then I'm not in the service, so I wouldn't know. About all we civilians do know is that we have the best fighting men in the world in all branches of the service and they're all heroes to us. Have you ever noticed with what lack of rhyme or reason most California cities have named their streets? Since Anaheim is the oldest town in Orange county it can at least be credited with being first to name its streets, and it appears that all the other towns thought they had to use the same names and with the same abandon as to arrangement. There is no alphabetical or other continuity by which street names in any Orange county town can be learned in anything short of a lifetime. In most cities the original streets go by numbers or are named for other cities, states, trees, or individuals in some sort of arrangement that can be memorized and visualized in a short time, even by newcomers. In Anaheim, for instance, very few of the older residents know the name and location of more than a half-dozen streets besides the one they live on. A stranger wandered through the west side of town looking for a friend who lived on Philadelphia street. Finally in desperation he called to a resident sitting on his front porch and inquired: "Mister, is this Philadelphia?" whereupon the resident answered back: "Hell no, this is Anaheim!" If all the money the present war will cost could be accumulated at one time, which it can not, and was used for the benefit of people instead of to kill them, every human being now living could have everything they could ever use or need for as long as any of them will live. Nobody now living would ever have to work, as a matter of making a living, and the Garden of Eden would become a reality. With such a picture to Plans Being Made Between California California will be one chief buying markets for imports in the post-war greatly increased shipment fresh oranges, apples and also canned fruits, dry evaporated fruits being shipped all-water route, according received from Line headquarters to the offices of W. R. Grace and several agents on the Pacific. A fleet of modern, fast ships of the Johnson Line placed in operation just as the war in Europe is over received here from Stockholm. Sweden once more will one of this state's best c The Fifth Cotton Research Congress just held in Dallas brought some encouraging news to cotton farmers. Mechanized equipment has been developed that will take much of the drudgery out of cotton farming. Most of the machines will be tractor-drawn and will include everything from plowing the ground to picking the crop. Machines will cultivate the rows, "chop" the plants to a stand, pick the cotton from the bolls, and then cut down the stalks so the field can be plowed again. Growing cotton has been the worst backbreaking, man-killing job of all farm work and has pauperized the workers who followed the cotton fields. Naturally the mechanical devices will free these workers from their slavery jobs, but the question is, what will they do when they are no longer needed in the cotton fields? Other work will have to be provided for unnumbered thousands of black and white people who have never done anything but work in cotton. There again is another job for the post-war planners. Some of the service men get out of patience with civilians because they are not posted on military procedure, and maybe you can't blame them after all the drilling they have had. Marines get mad if you call them soldiers and Coast Guards get mad if you call them sailors, but how is the civilian to know the difference when they all wear so many kinds of uniforms, badges and decorations? Besides the dozens of If all the money the present war will cost could be accumulated at one time, which it can not, and was used for the benefit of people instead of to kill them, every human being now living could have everything they could ever use or need for as long as any of them will live. Nobody now living would ever have to work, as a matter of making a living, and the Garden of Eden would become a reality. With such a picture to contemplate, do we have nothing to look forward to but another World War? Is it possible that the intelligence of the human race cannot overcome selfishness and greed and the lust for power, which after all is the only cause of wars? Hitler's days are numbered and nobody knows that any better than Mr. Hitler. Developments of the past week could mean that the war in Europe may end most any day. That is no reason, however, for the allies to relax their relentless war on Germany, and that will not be done even to the last minute of the last hour. In the meantime Hitler is killing his efficient war leaders at a rate that will soon deplete his staff to a point where his army will flounder to its doom without the benefit of experienced directors. That is fine. The more of the war guilty Hitler kills the fewer we will have to kill, and the only language the German war monsters know is bullets. There is no other way to deal with them, as we learned following the other war. We tried to be tough with Germany by forcing her to pay indemnities that she could not pay, but we let the war-guilty murderers go free to ignore the treaties they had made and start from the day they signed the "scrap of paper" to prepare for another war. If we have any qualms about using the firing squad, then we had Russia make the settlement Germany. The Russian "liquidate" that bunch derers so fast it will make head swim and never bail. We hate to contemplate secedure but that is the only German war lords stand.

New C of C Committees Named; Ross Laird Retained Secretary; Year S Starting the new chamber of commerce year, which promises to be an unusually active one, President O. E. Hanson called the board of directors together Tuesday noon for a luncheon and business session at the Parker House cafe. Committee appointments were made and work programs discussed which will soon be under way, looking especially toward the post-war period when much development and industrial expansion is expected. While Secretary Ross Lee Laird's first year of tenure in office has not expired the new board of directors extended his contract to run concurrently with their term of office, which at least is a gesture of reassurance that his services have been highly satisfactory. For the benefit of the directors present Mr. Laird outlined some of the accomplishments already made and looked into the future with possibilities for industrial and population growth, pointing out the many advantages Anaheim offers to prospective new industrialists and residents. An amendment to the constitution and by-laws was presented by a committee composed of Louis Hoskins, Oscar Heying and Victor Loly, which was approved by the board, subject to adoption by the membership at the annual meeting in October: The amendment to Article 2,' Paragraph 3, reads as follows: 3 (a) 1 Any member who may have heretofore or shall, in the future, have served a term or terms as President shall thereafter be a life member of the Board of Directors with full voting powers.

Local Hotel Man Slugged, Robbed In Cafe Washroom According to reports from the sheriff's office, a local resident, A. T. Shumate, operator of the Pickwick hotel, was slugged and robbed of $80 by two unknown men as he washed his hands in the wash room of the Dixie Castle cafe on highway 101 south of Anaheim Sunday night. Going to the cafe with his wife, Shumate left the table where they were seated and went to the wash room and while washing his hands, with his back to the door, two men entered and slugged him into unconsciousness. He was discovered a few minutes later on the floor of the wash room and his billfold and money was missing. Unable to give a description of his assailants, who evidently left the premises at once, it is unlikely that they will be apprehended. Following this assault officers issued a warning to residents to be careful in exposing themselves to danger of being slugged, indoors or out, and to be particularly careful about picking up hitchikers, especially at night.

Great Growth In Population Seen By Long Beach Man Predicting an unprecedented growth in population for southern California following the war, David Olmstead, director of publicity for the city of Long Beach, told Anaheim Kiwians at their Tuesday noon meeting that Orange county was due for a great expansion, industrially and otherwise. The speaker referred to the permanent military establishments in this county as a factor that will bring a big increase in the population. Introduced by Ross Lee Laird, secretary of the chamber of commerce, Mr. Olmstead painted a glowing picture of the development that will take place in this section of the state. Pointing out that many industrialists are already making plans to establish plants here, he urged local communities to formulate their plans now to accommodate the new industry and the people that will come with the new activity. Kellogg in cooperation with the Associated General Contractors of America whose Los Angeles manager, F. J. Connolly, was the principal speaker. British message based on the need of planning for postwar growth and development in southern California and Orange county in particular, the speaker held the attention of 153 men and women for one hour and forty-five minutes while he outlined the needs of this territory and urged immediate action. Pointing out that the accelerated tempo of the war may bring the end of the European conflict within the next few weeks or months, undoubtedly within this year, he sounded a warning to the various municipalities to be prepared with a construction program that will provide work for the returning soldiers. The speaker urged the community leaders and officials to start now on building plans, funds for which have already been allocated by the state in the amount of $10,000,000 to be distributed on a population basis. Anaheim, for instance, will have at its disposal $15,000 of this fund with which to pay for plans and surveys and acquire sites. Many copies of the address were distributed for future study by the civic leaders and elected officials of the various communities. Ross Lee Laird, secretary of the local chamber of commerce welcomed the gathering to Anaheim and the response was given by Mayor T. B. Talbert of Huntington Beach. William Gallienne, secretary of the Associated Chambers, intro- BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED TO COUNTIANS Among the several building permits issued from the office of the county building department were William J.
