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! (Continued From Page 1) Development of the art of advertising and propaganda, it was a recognized fact that public opinion could easily be molded by the written and spoken word. Therefore it followed that the people must be permitted to hear all sides of any story before they cast their votes. But the framers of the Constitution were not aware that there would one day come into being the government press-agent. Now these government press-agents are adept at molding public opinion without the public knowing that its opinion is being molded. His is the practical application of the principle of bringing a man around to your point of view by simply letting him think that he arrived at the conclusion himself—without having been convinced by you. The New Deal has employed the press-agent technique from the beginning. There is not a bureau or commission or agency that does not have its press-agent. He is variously known as the "Educational Director," or the "Director of Information," or simply the "Assistant to the Director." But he is there and his function is explicit. He is the man who has to sell the public on the agency for which he works.

Now these government press-agents are adept at molding public opinion without the public knowing that its opinion is being molded. His is practical application of the principle of bringing a man around to your point of view by simply letting him think that he arrived at the conclusion himself—without having been convinced by you. The New Deal has employed the press-agent technique from the beginning. There is not a bureau or commission or agency that does not have its press-agent. He is variously known as the "Educational Director," or the "Director of Information," or simply the "Assistant to the Director." But he is there and his function is explicit. He is the man who has to sell the public on the agency for which he works. By every trick of the trade these government press agents flood the country with alleged information and supposedly accurate statistics designed to convince all and sundry that their agencies are necessary to the public welfare. Thus we have arrived at a situation where the public's opinion is manufactured to a large degree right within the very offices of the government which that opinion is supposed to control. There is obvious danger in this state of affairs. And something must be done to avert that danger. Public opinion must flow into Washington—not out of it. BLUNTLY BLANK Recently a friend of ours complained that the men overseas could not vote. And that friend was a member of the armed services of the United States. Frankly it puzzles us as to the source of his information. Obviously he was sincere, but just as obviously he had been misinformed. Ever since the battle over the so-called "bob-tailed" ballot for service voting, the Administration has repeatedly tried to convince the people that a conspiracy existed to prevent our boys and girls in the service from exercising their Constitutional suffrage rights. That is bluntly bunk. Under the provisions adopted by the Congress every man and woman otherwise eligible to cast a ballot can do so. And what is more important they can vote a full ticket, something that Mr. Roosevelt and his Administration leaders would have denied them had they had their way. So let us short circuit the subterfuge. Let's be honest with ourselves. The method prescribed by the Congress for participation in the forthcoming elections is a Constitutional method, it is an easy method and it is a very complete method. Your son and daughter can, if they will, vote for every office on the list from sheriff of their county to the President of the United States. To deprive them of the right to choose local officers as the New Deal proposed would have partially disfranchised them. It would have enabled them to vote for President, Vice President and Congressional representation only. Not even for Governor if one were running in their state. The American people and the men and women in uniform are not going to be deceived at this brazen effort to prevent them from exercising their rights under the Constitution. They are not willing to be voted enmasse in the manner of the totalitarian countries they are fighting. The New Deal is laying down a smoke barrage but they are accustomed to that. There is no smoke in their eyes. Death Takes Mrs. Martha E. Porter Mrs. Martha E. Porter of 545 South Ohio street, passed away at her home on Friday, at the age of 86 years.

SUNKIST REPORTER Today's column rounds out actively half a year during which you reporter has explored various departments and activities of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. He's covered a good deal of growth in his rambling way. Surprising what varied activity the Exchange takes in. Everythi from cutting lumber (for box shear) to studying poisons (for insects ringing doorbells (to learn how people use citrus fruit) and planning motion pictures (to show details how to display it). Look at the Exchange one and you see it as a communicable system, keeping District Exchange informed from hour to hour exact where their fruit can be sold to greatest advantage. Look at it another way and you see it as a traffic organization securing needed refrigerator curing over every car of Exchange fruit in transit and collecting clams without charge. Again you see the Exchange sales organization with 56 offices covering the whole of the U.S. Canada, giving Sunkist growers widest possible market for their fruit, so they can sell it at the lowest price. Or you can visualize it as an advertising and merchandising operation, increasing our sumption of oranges and lemons and building ever greater demand for fruit with the Sunkist name. The Exchange is all these things—and a lot more. But the more study them, the more you read how they all gear together to form one all-important function: sell the grower's fruit for the greatest possible return. Every Exchange activity supports this aim. And are carried on with an efficiency economy possible only through operation—through many growers working together. Which brings to mind a question that was put to your reporter on day last March in Cleveland. Your reporter was going around on grocers with a salesman from local Sunkist Office. The stores wished me mighty cold. On the way home we stopped Martha E. Porter Mrs. Martha E. Porter of 545 South Ohio street, passed away at her home on Friday, at the age of 86 years. She was born in Missouri and came to Anaheim in 1933. Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Anna M. Bobert of Anaheim, Mrs. Mary Govreau of Los Angeles and Mrs. Elvira Holt of Redlands; four sons, H. V. and J. M., both of San Bernadino; F. J. of Santa Monica and F. L. of Baker, Calif.; 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Job Printing, Gazette, Ph. 2206. In the last eleven years the American people have contributed $29,562,742.54 to conquer infantile paralysis, Basil O’Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, announced today at the opening of the annual meeting of the Medical Advisory committees of the National Foundation at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. At that meeting applications for grants to carry on medical research will be considered and further plans for carrying on the fight against infantile paralysis will be made.

These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago October 23—1919 With a state surveying party now working along the Orange county shore line for the coast boulevard from Hueneme, Ventura county, to Serra, Orange county, it is believed that this section of improved highway will be built much sooner than was at first thought. The crew worked last week between Huntington Beach and Seal Beach. Huntington Beach has been asked for the ordinance establishing the grade at the northeasterly city limits. The chief surveyor has advised that the road will not be diverted around Huntington Beach. The state will also construct the paved road through Seal Beach. The good old time, when clocks traveled on the same schedule as the sun, will be restored to us Sunday. On that day all clocks will be turned back one hour. There will be no more juggling with valencias and fourteen in walnut. Samuel Kraemer is steadily proving but it will be some time before he is able to leave the high pital. Herman Stern has purchased 20 acres of land from P. A. Stanton on the Ball road and will have the place set to trees. Frank Mauer and wife were writing in Los Angeles Sunday.

The Exchange is all these things and a lot more. But the more you buy them, the more you realize they all gear together to perform one all-important function: to the grower's fruit for the greatpossible return.

The good old time, when clocks traveled on the same schedule as the sun, will be restored to us Sunday. On that day all clocks will be turned back one hour. There will be no more juggling with time, as Congress recently repealed the law providing for the change twice a year, passing it over the President's veto. Clark Scott who is now in Arizona, killed an eight-pronged buck several days ago and sent the horns to his father, W. W. Scott of this city. The deer was a big one and it was all Clark and his brother Frank could do to get it home. Brick masons are working on the walls of the new Resh building on East Center street this week. It will be occupied as an automobile paint shop when completed. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Joplin have arrived in California from Louisiana and expect to locate in this county. Mr. Joplin is a brother of County Treasurer Joplin. They visited in Anaheim last week with their daughter, Mrs. Fay. Anaheim and Fullerton joined forces some weeks ago and sent a request to the government for a carload of army bacon, the same to be divided equally between the two cities and disposed of by the city officials. Last week a carload arrived in Fullerton and Mayor Dwyer and Harry Whitaker lost no time in going after Anaheim's share. The car contained 40,000 pounds, consequently 20,000 pounds was loaded on trucks and bought to this city. A room in the Valencia hotel was secured as a store room and the bacon will be on sale soon as the invoice arrives when the authorities will know what price to set. The bacon was put up by Wilson & Co., packers of Kansas City and is of first class quality. It will be sold in cartons of 12 pounds only and in Los Angeles the price is 36 cents a pound which will probably be the price asked here. Victor Browning was a visitor in town Monday from his home in Brookshurst. Mr. Browning reprovenements had inspected teams of horses belonging to Wonimeo and Berdrow, Oliver Hill and J. B. Pierce. The two former were offered for $300 each and that of Mr. Pierce for $225. The committee was given further time to act. The sum paid for hauling and repairing last year amounted to $523.17, besides $686.88 paid for sprinkling, which might be lessened if the city did its own street work. Wonimeo and Berdrow also offered the use of a team and man the year round for $3 per day. Trustee Helmsen reported that the finance committee had purchased three carloads of coal for the water works. Wm. Konig petitioned the board for permission to construct an asphaltum culvert across Broadway, about 100 feet west of Los Angeles street, for the purpose of conveying water for irrigation to his lot on the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets. Granted. Trustee McWilliams again asked for a bridge over a ditch which runs south of his residence on Broadway. The water company has refused to place a bridge there, and as the city does not think it is its duty to build it, the clerk was instructed to notify the water company to put in the bridge within a week or the ditch will be filled in. The Hon. W. W. Bowers of San Diego will address the people of Anaheim and vicinity at the Opera house this evening. The various Republican candidates for the county offices will also be present. Mr. Bowers is a pleasing speaker, and he has done more for the protection of our southern California industries than the whole House delegation put together, he ought to and doubtless will have one of the largest audiences of the campaign. The following named gentlemen have been named as a reception committee to meet him. Arthur Lewis, Richard Melrose, Clay Kellogg, H. W. Chenoweth, W. G. Potter, D. J. Young, J. B. Pierce, J. W. Landell, W. L. Hale, E. R. Amerige, Erwin Barr, H. D. Polhemus, Charles Norman, A. C. Jennings, George C. Clark, W. A. Witte, N. H. Mitchell, A. M. Williams and the editor of the Gazette.

Every Exchange city supports this aim. And all carried on with an efficiency and army possible only through co-operation—through many growers joining together. Which brings to mind a question was put to your reporter one last March in Cleveland. The reporter was going around call-grocery with a salesman from the Sunkist Office. The stores were very cold. On the way home we stopped cup of coffee. Here's one thing I can't understand, the salesman said. "The fell-in the other Sales Offices don't stand it either." For years we've been selling most oranges and lemons in common with non-Exchange fruit. Years we've seen the Sunkist get the call—seen it win out the other fruit day after day, bring a better price... How can grower afford NOT to belong to Exchange? With the post-war future drawing closer, when you as a grower bound to meet very different tions from today, it's time you ask that question squarely. Can afford not to be a member of the range? Prepare for that future joining up with your fellow growers now. Site to the Field Service Department at the Sunkist Building, Los Angeles, and simply say you'd like to somebody about membership. They'll send a well-informed Server man to go over with you. Better do it—today!
