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" I haven't written much copy for the colm, or otherwise, this week. With the life of the faithful helpmate apparently hanging by a slim thread for several days, frivolous words for this alleged column were lacking, so I clipped some real editorials from contemporary columns to fill some of the space. By next week I hope to function normally again and will come forward with some opinions and conclusions of more or less doubtful merit, I hope. and at Pearl Harbor is still too vivid to expect even the best citizens to pay much heed to the Bill of Rights, or the laws of the land, or the Golden Rule.

With the life of the faithful helpmate apparently hanging by a slim thread for several days, frivolous words for this alleged column were lacking, so I clipped some real editorials from contemporary columns to fill some of the space. By next week I hope to function normally again and will come forward with some opinions and conclusions of more or less doubtful merit, I hope. Mr. Hitler says "When one is confronted with military idiots, one cannot know where they will attack." He has probably reached the point of insanity by now where he thinks the whole United States army has gone crazy. The bees Hitler has been carrying in his bonnet are now crawling over his carcass, gradually stinging him to death. Charley Vernon of the Yorba Linda Star has me on the pan on two counts; for using sloppy English, which he says is ignorance, and for not wanting the Japs brought back to California. If his Honor please, may I enter a plea of "guilty" to both counts and pray for leniency? "There are more ways than one of jeopardizing the traditional American freedom of the press. From Soviet Russia our government adopted regimentation. The Nazis introduced us to social security and infiltration. And of the three infiltration is the most insidious. How many editors today have paused in the task of keeping up with ever increasing federal rules and regulations, to note how completely their columns have become prey to news releases from a thousand and one federal propaganda bureaus? "Post war plans are in the making. Will three men rule the world? Will the self determination of little nations envisioned by Woodrow Wilson, again become a puppet string of scheming war lords? Will the age old hatreds of Balkan neighbors modify their fury? Even in America, the shadow is still cast of Andersonville and Libby prison. Of a death struggle between brother Americans, which left men bereft of reason and blighted the lives of their offspring. On which side of the Atlantic may the world hope for wisdom to supersede the folly of ages?"—Jim Farquhar in Huntington Beach News. "What to do with the Japs is and at Pearl Harbor is still too vivid to expect even the best citizens to pay much heed to the Bill of Rights, or the laws of the land, or the Golden Rule. It just isn't human nature."—Newport-Balboa News-Times. "One effect of war only slightly less appalling than the killing and maiming of men, women and children, in and out of uniform, is its effect on civilians whose habits loosen and whose morals degenerate with growing war prosperity. For example, a trustworthy publication announced a week or so ago that not less than 35 children abandoned permanently by their parents are found weekly in Los Angeles. And the number of arrests in Los Angeles of mothers accused of cruelty or neglect of small children is running a close second to the number of arrests of husbands for wife murder."—Charley Vernon in Yorba Linda Star. Mrs. Jake Proctor Recovering From Major Operations According to reports from the Anaheim Lutheran hospital today, Mrs. Jake Proctor, wife of the city editor of The Gazette, is believed to be practically out of danger after undergoing the second major operation within a period of ten days. She entered the hospital on August 18 for an emergency operation, later complications making a second operation necessary. During this time she has been under the care of Drs. J. W. Truxaw, H. A. Johnston, and Geo. W. Koch, and attended by a corps of special nurses. On Tuesday night her son, Jack C. Proctor, of the motion picture department at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, arrived by plane and train to be at the bedside. Barring unforeseen complications attending physicians now believe Mrs. Proctor's recovery is assured.

Quite a discussion the other day at a luncheon, when Harry Welch suggested that some solution of the problem must be found, perhaps segregation of the citizen Japs where they could be left to themselves to make their own way. The idea won approval — provided they set up their communities in other states than California. Erwin Spicer thought the best solution was to relocate on the Pacific coast front facing their native land, and then telling them to keep going. "The problem isn't an easy one—but the time is coming when some action will be necessary. The War Relocation Authority is already seeking to soften up Californians for their return to this state. Reams of propaganda are being sent to the newspapers, telling of the glorious part Japs in the service have had in the war—their exploits in Italy—acts of heroism, etc. Which all may be true, but the people of this state are in no mood to welcome the little brown men back, no matter what their record has been. Granted that they are citizens, and might even become good citizens, but remembrance of recent happenings across the waters— Anaheim Citizens Called For Jury Among a panel of 77 prospective jurors called for service in superior court to convene at 9:30 a.m. next Monday, was included the following from Anaheim: Julius Poetz, 943 N.

That's California as she moved step closer to her centennial as a member state of the United States. It is a far cry back to September 9, 1850, when the 'lusty ritory of California with yellow poppies in her fields and stores of yellow gold in her mines became a full-fledged state. In those days California was hardly more than a wilderness cut off from the East by a couple of thousand miles of little knotted territory, with great mountains and vast plains, and Indian tribes that resented the coming of the white man. But the lure of brought men by the thousands to the fabulous land of El Dorado.

To the Youth of America: "Let me lay before you a serious problem only high school students can solve. Our nation, which has grown great by cultivating the abilities of its people, is now rolling up a colossal deficit in education. Our college classrooms have few men students. More than one million fewer young people your age are now in high school. Hundreds of millions of man hours of learning are being lost forever." "You want this country to be powerful and prosperous after the war. But this country can do its duty in world leadership only if its citizens continue to have the 'know how.'" "The best place for you to get ready for tomorrow is in high school. The Army and Navy want boys and girls to complete their high school education before joining the services. The War Manpower Commission says schooling comes first." "To give up a job in September and return to school may mean a temporary sacrifice of income. It may seem to mean sacrificing work essential to the war. But your 'battle station' is in school. Your nation asks that you return to your post of duty in high school and stay by it until you have finished the job." All students new to Anaheim Union High school are requested to come to the administrative office on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of next week so that their program for the year may be planned before registration day.
