Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXIV A Legal Newspaper ANAH We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR In and About "The Orange Capitol of the World" I don't get all the bologna that's being put out by this and that organization, including OPA. The Magazine Publishers' Association is spending a lot of space to say "use that broken coffee cup," although such a thing is against all health laws and all education of the last generation, yet OPA encourages the buying of china baby ests may be much more mutual after this war than we have allowed them to be in the past. We live too close to Mexico to let a barbed wire fence become a barrier between us and that great country. After reading and listening to speeches of the various candidates I don't get all the bologna that's being put out by this and that organization, including OPA. The Magazine Publishers' Association is spending a lot of space to say "use that broken coffee cup," although such a thing is against all health laws and all education of the last generation, yet OPA encourages the buying of china baby shoes and other chinaware ornamental objects as being "useful as well as ornamental." If it is not good business and good sense to replace the chipped coffee cup, then what excuse can be offered for buying china baby shoes and other ornamental china objects? For the first time, the other day, I heard the federal soil conservation program get a severe criticizing and denounced as a waste of the taxpayers' money. This critic was a woman, who knew nothing about soil conservation in the first place, and her object was to throw a slam into the Democratic New Deal, she being a radical Republican. As a matter of fact soil conservation is not a political matter, any more than this war is a democratic or a republican war. So conservation is a war, really, against the ignorance of man, to start with, and the ravages of the elements which take hold to finish the job after man has done his worst to destroy the soil. The civilization of a neighborhood, or a nation, invariably goes down with the soil and it behooves one neighborhood to protect the soil of the adjoining territory, because a nation, like a chain, is only as strong as its weakest spot. Civilization took a set-back of several thousand years when the soil of the Mediterranean area went into the sea and with its going went a very highly civilized group of people. So, I would advise those who are inclined to let their politics run away with their reason to argue about more frivolous things than the sacred soil from which all life is sustained. I have made it a point to visit with many of the Mexican Nationals brought here recently to help in the orange harvest and I find them to be a group of rather high type agricultural workers. Reports from the ranchers employing them indicate that their work has been most satisfactory and their labor has been the means of saving one of the record citrus crops this year. These ests may be much more mutual after this war than we have allowed them to be in the past. We live too close to Mexico to let a barbed wire fence become a barrier between us and that great country. After reading and listening to speeches of the various candidates for high political office, it seems to me that party politics, as such, has reached the lowest ebb within the range of my memory, at least. There is a difference between putting out a lot of conversation to take up radio time, and saying something that would indicate intelligent thought in keeping with the changing world. You can't run your business as you did 40 years ago and there isn't any use to try to go back to 1900 thinking along political and economic lines. As far as we know, and until somebody shows us a better way, we believe our two-party system provides the best government in the world and offers the most freedom to the individual. But, the political parties must modernize themselves from time to time. You couldn't handle today's citrus business with the type of orange packing houses Anaheim had 40 or 50 years ago. When the constitution was written it took three months for some of the delegates to reach the national capitol. You can get there now in six hours from the most remote corner of the United States. Every man, woman and child now living, and every baby born today in the United States is in "debt" $2,000 as his part of the so-called national debt which has reached the sum of $258-billion and is still growing. This "invisible mortgage," referred to as a fantastic debt, with accrued interest, represents more money than there is or ever can be in the world at one time, and, therefore, can never be paid within any length of time the present generation can imagine. If this amount of money is owed to any individuals in particular, then it might as well be charged off, because they'll never get the money anyway, and if it is entirely "fantastic" and imaginary it might as well still be wiped off at the end of the war so we can at least start over with a clean slate. I don't understand money, but if it is true that less than 1,000 people own and control all the wealth in the Latin-Americans To Send Spanish Lessons To U.S. Latin Americans are proud their sincerity in the movement both in South America to build good relations and a better understanding between the peoples on north and south. A gesture comes from the American Society, Box 315, Ecuador, South America, in form of a letter addressed to Anaheim Chamber of Commerce in which the Society offers to give a free pamphlet on Simple Spanish to anyone who will I have made it a point to visit with many of the Mexican Nationals brought here recently to help in the orange harvest and I find them to be a group of rather high type agricultural workers. Reports from the ranchers employing them indicate that their work has been most satisfactory and their labor has been the means of saving one of the record citrus crops this year. These Mexicans are proud of the fact that they are Americans. They call themselves American Indians and some of them feel a little hurt that we look upon them as "foreigners." Some of them are college graduates and they recognize that they belong to this land, in spite of the imaginary boundary between the two nations. They call attention to the European influence on this side of the border, whereas their Americanism antecedes the tomb of King Tut. One of these Mexicans, who spoke very good English, told me he was happy to be here to help with the work and was sorry that he would have to be deported as soon as the war is over. He thinks the two countries should be more friendly and learn to understand each other better. I once published a Spanish language newspaper, in an adjoining county, "El Eco del Valle," and through this connection I learned that the Mexicans are pretty good people. As a class, considering the opportunities given them, they rate well with other nationalities and they are equally as dependable as some of our other adopted citizens. A little kindly attention extended to these Mexican Nationals who are here temporarily to help us out of a tough spot will not do us any harm. We need to promote good will with Mexico and the people there.

Ratin-Americans To Send Spanish Lessons To U.S. Ratin Americans are proving their sincerity in the present movement both in South and North America to build goodwill between the two hemispheres which will result in more friendly relations and a better understanding between the peoples of the north and south. A gesture comes from the Pan-American Society, Box 315, Quito, Guador, South America, in the form of a letter addressed to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, which the Society offers to send free pamphlet on Simplified Spanish to anyone who will write first time since he started in the business with his uncle, Fred Crist, in October, 1893. Coming direct to Anaheim from Tierdorf, Germany, when he was 15 years of age, he became an apprentice in the tailor shop of his uncle and developed into an expert merchant tailor.

Throughout the years Mr. Yungbluth has been a leader in all civic affairs, serving on the city council, as president of the chamber of commerce and of the former California Valencia Orange show, and has been an untiring worker for other developments of Anaheim and Orange county. Commenting on his years of activity here Mr. Yungbluth stated he believes Anaheim has a great future and he will continue to make his home here. "No other place would seem like home to me now, so I plan to stay here and grow up with the town. In disposing of my business I am not saying goodbye. I will have more time to devote to civic affairs and more opportunity to visit with my friends, which is a happy conclusion to 51 years in the same business," he said.

PROCLAMATION Believing that every American regardless of political affiliation or convictions has the duty as well as the right to vote and that the obligation to participate in public decisions increases in wartime, I hereby urge the citizenry of every California community to make a final effort to increase our state registration by September 28. The right to vote one's own convictions is a principle of democracy for which men are now offering their lives. We have properly shown concern over the right of these fighting men to vote and have adjusted our state laws to increase their opportunity. We must now add to their confidence in our management of the homefront by assuring them of our full participation in the decisions which lie ahead. This is a trust which they have placed in our hands for they are fighting for an ideal in government which imposes responsibility upon all and permits the expressed will of the majority to become the program of all. September 28 being the final day for registering for the November 7 general election, it is important that every person qualified to register in California be urged to do so immediately. For this reason, I, Earl Warren, Governor of California, do hereby proclaim September 11-18 inclusive, with the exception of Sunday, September 17, as REGISTRARTION DAYS in California and do hereby urge all citizens to join in a drive to make California's registration totals added proof of our full assumption of wartime responsibilities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this sixth day of September, A. D., one thousand nine hundred and forty-four.
