Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXV A Legal Newspaper ANAHEIM We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR In and About "The Orange Capitol of the World" (The statements or opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the policy or sentiments of this newspaper, or its publishers.) All of this "colm" is written this week by a young soldier who will be just one of the millions of service men that I have been telling you about who intend to come Jap Imperial Government in 1938-39 and 1940. For three years Technocracy has been reiterating the fact that we cannot have a fighting morale and internal efficiency while some citizens gain wealth and economic advantage in war prices, war wages, war profits, and war racketeering. Now the writer will ask Rev. John Saville New Rector at St. Michael's Rev. John K. Saville of Los Angeles, assistant rector of St. James Episcopal church on Wilshir Blvd., has accepted the rectorship of St. Michael's Episcopal church, it was announced last Sunday to members of the congregation. He will not be able to assume the post until July 1 when he will fake up residency at the rectory on East Adele street with his wife and small daughter. He will fill the vacancy that followed the resignation, last December, of Rev. D. Howard Dow who is now rector in Monterey. Rev. Saville was ordained to the priesthood in 1943 and for the past two years has served in the Los Angeles church as assistant rector. He is graduate of Occidental college where he won Phi Beta Kar All of this "colm" is written this week by a young soldier who will be just one of the millions of service men that I have been telling you about who intend to come home from this war and take charge of this country. The men in the army have learned what it's all about, you can depend on that. The soldier's letter which follows is self explanatory, however, he knows I cannot answer the question he asks me in the last paragraph, but he already knows the answer. The letter follows: SCU 1958 WCPC Camp McQuaide, Calif. 20 March 1945 Dear Mr. Proctor: The writer notes that your column for February 22, in calling attention to the need for Technocracy's giant bomber, the FLYING WING, stated in part: '... it is claimed by the designers (Technocracy) ... that 1,000 of these planes in one trip over Tokyo could completely obliterate that city, or Berlin ... from the face of the earth ... Then in conclusion you asked: 'Well, what are we waiting for?' Congratulations for bringing Technocracy's FLYING WING to the attention of your readers, Mr. Proctor. It was first offered to the United States Government in 1941! However, Technocracy says that 5,500 FLYING WINGS—not 1,000 as you report—could obliterate Tokyo, Rome, or Berlin. In addition these huge FLYING WINGS with their range of over 12,000 miles, could bomb either of the above cities and return to their bases in the North American Continental Area with fuel in their tanks. Now for the answer to your '$64' question: 'Well, what are we waiting for?' The answer isn't difficult, Mr. Proctor—we are waiting for the installation of Technocracy's program of Total Conscription which calls for the conscription by the respective governments of the United States and Canada, of America's Men, Machines, Materials, and Money with National Service from All and Profits to None. Jap Imperial Government in 1938-39 and 1940. For three years Technocracy has been reiterating the fact that we cannot have a fighting morale and internal efficiency while some citizens gain wealth and economic advantage in war prices, war wages, war profits, and war racketeering. Now the writer will ask you the '$64' question, Mr. Proctor, 'What are you waiting for?' If you know of any program, other than Technocracy's program of Total Conscription, that will conduct the war and post war operations of the U.S. and Canada without inflation, new debt, unemployment, black markets, profits, and racketeering, then please tell me, otherwise, as a member of the Armed Forces who is already Totally Conscripted in National Service on a non-profit basis, I ask you: 'Why aren't you doing everything you can to promote Technocracy's program of Total Conscription? Sincerely yours, Cpl. Malcolm Dorton. Red Cross War Fund Folders to Be Turned in Now The 1945 Red Cross War Fund Drive is rapidly nearing completion and all workers who still have folders are asked to turn them in by the end of the week. While the nation wide campaign closes this week contributions may be made at any time during the year at the chapter headquarters on East Center street. A. J. Schutte, general chairman of the successful local drive, has announced that the goal of $28,000 has been far oversubscribed and that more than $40,000 has been contributed with contributions from nearby defense plants and service camps still to be turned in. NEW WING STARTED Construction work on the new 20 bed tubercular wing of the Orange County hospital was started last week. The contract was let to Contractor B. Frank Anderson of Los Angeles. Largest single contribution made by Charles Bravo of the winning room. He made a contribution of $10, the money being from his own savings. Taxpayers' Association Survey Shows Now for the answer to your "$64' question: 'Well, what are we waiting for?' The answer isn't difficult, Mr. Proctor—we are waiting for the installation of Technocracy's program of Total Conscription which calls for the conscription by the respective governments of the United States and Canada, of America's Men, Machines, Materials, and Money with National Service from All and Profits to None. You and your readers will remember that back in 1940 and 1941, when the call went out to industry to convert to defense, those owners of corporate enterprise refused to budge until guaranteed their '10% and up' rakeoff and until the U.S. government agreed to put up most of the money to expand our industrial plant capacity to the point needed. Also it was ably demonstrated that private enterprise simply wasn't big enough to do the job even if it wanted to. In like manner, no aircraft manufacturer today is big enough to build Technocracy's FLYING WING, although they have had the fabricating specifications for years. It would be suicide under the chiseling practices of private enterprise with its inefficiency and hand tool methods to try to turn out the FLYING WING because the WING is designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, and can only be produced by straight line, technological mass-production methods on a non-profit basis. The cost of building the FLYING WING is figured on an energy conversion basis—not on a dollar-and-cents, 'what's there-in-it-for-me' basis. (Incidentally ask these 'patriots for a price' aircraft builders how much aircraft machine tools they sold to the NEW WING STARTED Construction work on the new 20 bed tubercular wing of the Orange County hospital was started last week. The contract was let to Contractor B. Frank Anderson of Los Angeles.

AHEIM GAZETE Est. 1870 In The Heart of the Valencia Orange District: ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1943 John Saville Rector at Michael’s Enthusiastic Audience Hears Youth Symphony Thursday at High School The Kiwanis sponsored Orange County Youth's Symphony orchestra was enthusiastically received at its first concert of the season last Thursday night at the Anaheim Union High school auditorium. The 110 members range in age from 8 to 14 years and their director and leader, Miss Norma Perkins of Orange, has molded them into a fine organization capable of playing with understanding interpretation and exceptional ability. The program was opened with the national anthem followed by Schubert’s “Seventh Symphony.” The next two numbers were by Brahms, “Russian Episode” and “Lullaby,” followed by “La Cinquintaine.” “Little Colonel,” featuring three trumpeteers, brought great applause as did “Meadowlands.” Wendell Taylor of Anaheim was narrator for the novelty number, “Story of the Three Bears.” This was followed by a Russian choral overture by Tschaikowsky. Robert Norland, Anaheim violinist, was featured in “Pop Goes the Weasel.” Hayden’s lovely “Minuet” was beautifully played and the program was concluded with “Anchors Aweigh” and “Russian Sailor Dance.” Paul Bakenhus, president of the local Kiwanis club, presented Miss Perkins with a beautiful floral gift and thanked E. T. Bradley, chairman of the orchestra committee, and members of the club for their interest and splendid response shown. Plans for future concert dates will be made known at a later date. Few organizations of any kind in the county have progressed as much as the Youth Orchestra since its organization in 1942. At present the members number 110, although all the students were not present for the concert last Thursday evening, since several were confined to their homes with a case of the “old-fashioned” measles. As has been stated before, the organizer and conductor of this group, is well qualified for the work and has spent many enjoyable hours in working with the group of young musicians and helping them to attain a certain degree of perfection which will improve as the practice pads and public concerts increase. However, the young artists due a lot of credit for the diligence on their various instruments and their crowning achievement the announcement by Miss Kins that they are to play a public concert. Each young artist displays the qualities of a vicar so as he presents his solo or in the orchestra.

Humorous War Experiences Told By Thomas Seeds Humorous incidents that he experienced as a major in World War I was the theme of the address given Tuesday night to the Fullerton Lions club by Thomas Seeds, advertising manager of the Anaheim Gazette. The dinner meeting was held at the California hotel. Seeds served with the First Canadian Division from 1914 through 1918 and was highly decorated by the Canadian government for valor under fire. Though he dwelt on the humorous aspects of his life as a soldier he concluded his talk on a more serious note with a stirring appeal for the buying of war bonds and ended with a stanza from Milton’s “Paradise Lost.” Paper Drive Day Monday will be paper drive day and residents are being reminded that all papers should be bundled and placed beside trash by 8 a.m. so that they can be picked up by city trucks. Remember there is an acute paper shortage and the nation has been asked to salvage all possible paper. State to Make Effort to Retain Title of Tidelands for Harbors and Recreation LOS ANGELES—In the interests of fair play to state and local governments and to its citizens, the United States Government should stop quibbling about the title to tidelands in California and other states, James Mussatti, general manager of the California State Chamber of Commerce, declared today in announcing that the State Chamber supports the Senate and House Resolutions which would quitclaim to respective states and private owners all rights and claims of the United States of America to all lands beneath tidewaters and navigable waters, except lands which have been acquired by Federal agencies by grant, quitclaim or condemnation. This would support the historical claim of the State to tidelands upon which most of California harbors have been built. Unless this claim is sustained beyond all question of doubt, Mussatti added, the investment of state and local government and private citizens in such lands will be jeopardized. Mussatti pointed out that at the end of the Revolution each original thirteen states became absolute owner of all submerged lands and all other states were mitted to the Union on the basis under constitutional recdment. State and Federal courts the executive department of Federal government recognize the sovereignty of the states submerged lands for more one hundred years. “This fied,” he said, “the state governments, and private cities in investing large sums of money in the creation of the ports we has made possible the development of California. This right ownership should not now swept aside by mere governmenf fiat. The simplest way to recloud from these titles is by resolutions of Congress quite ing title to these lands.” Lemons are truly a Californic crop; this state produces 99 percent of the American crops lemons every week o year.

DeMille in his fight against what he terms labor union's in- service will be held amid the beautiful surroundings of the Greek amphitheater at the city park at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday morning. After a lapse of several years the Anaheim Ministerial Union is reviving the beatiful custom that has been held numerous times in the past. As all churches of the Union are co-operating a large crowd is expected to attend. A resurrection sermon will be delivered by the dynamic speaker Rev. Thomas Titcombe of Canada and special Easter music has been arranged including a trumpet quartet from the Fullerton Union High school band. The trumpeteers will herald the approach of sunrise. A sunrise service will also be held at St. Michael's Episcopal church on East Adele street at 7 a.m. and will be a Holy Communion service. Low mass services will be held at St. Boniface Catholic church at 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. as well as other services later in the morning. While all of the churches are planning special Easter services and music a service of special significance will be held at the Grace Lutheran church when a group of young people, newly confirmed, will receive their first communion. Included in the group are Bill Vetter, Carol Stoval, Donna Mae Fairchild, Anna Marie Heinze, David Lee, Norma Lee Feenstra, Dick Heitshusen, Geraldine Gibson, Bonnie Lou Soyland, Ruth Martens and Vera Mae Heil. The Sunday School program will also be of special interest to the children as colored pictures of the Easter story will be shown during the regular Sunday school hours. For several years this practice has been followed and in this manner the children can review the meaning of Easter through a series of colored slides. At St. Michael's Episcopal church the choir will sing "Communion Service in C" by Brown and "The Lord's Prayer" by Forsyth-Dews. For the offertory Miss Doris Gamble will sing, "Open the Gates of the Temple." At the Bethel Baptist church there will be four solos during the morning service and two at the evening service. During the morning there will be "How Calm and Beautiful the Morn" by the choir with Fred B. Holton and "Christ the Lord is Risen" with Roy E. Nolte. The Men's Chorus will sing, "There Was A Garden" with Nolte and H. Stabbert will play a violin solo, "The Holy City." At the evening service Nolte was elected treasurer. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Ann O'Brien of Huntington Beach, county president. Other officers elected were Mrs. Beulah Longsdon, of Garden Grove, first vice-president; Mrs. J. F. Mueller of Orange, secretary and Mrs. A. H. Halleck of Orange, parliamentarian. Approving of the stand taken by Motion Picture Producer Cecil B. DeMille in his fight against what he terms labor union's infringement of American voter rights, the delegates passed a resolution to send individual letters of congratulation to him and assure him that the Republican women of the country are supporting him. Activity reports of the county units were heard and Mrs. John C. Kyle of Long Beach, president of the southern division, gave an instructive report on the state executive board meeting that was held recently by the northern division in San Francisco. Principal speaker of the afternoon was Judge Goodwin J. Knight of the Los Angeles superior court. Scorning those who remain neutral in a crisis Judge Knight pointed out that the Republican party is the minority party and as such it is its solemn duty to watch and correct the party in control. "When the party criticizes it is not mudslinging if their facts are based on the truth," he said and further declared that republicans who know of mistakes by democrats in power are bad Americans when they are afraid to expose those mistakes. Quoting from Dante he said, "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a period of moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." Neither republicans nor democrats want communism, he said in pointing out that both parties want freedom and free enterprise. The clever communist, however, often masquerades as a party man to fool the public and therein lies the danger, the speaker said. It may be that it was best for republicans and the country that Governor Dewey was defeated, he went on in saying that the responsibility for the last 14 years of government is on the democrats and that it is they who must lead the country back to peace and normal living. At least, he said, if they fail the republicans cannot be blamed for everything as they were in 1932. The morning and afternoon session was broken with a delicious luncheon that was sponsored by prove as the practice periods public concerts increase. ever, the young artists are a lot of credit for the diligent work on their various instruments their crowning achievement is the announcement by Miss Perkins that they are to play a pub-concert. Each young person plays the qualities of a virtuoso he presents his solo or part in the orchestra. To Retain Title to Scout and Recreation of the Revolution each of the final thirteen states became the absolute owner of all submerged lands and all other states were added to the Union on the same basis under constitutional requirement. State and Federal courts and the executive department of the federal government recognized sovereignty of the states over emerged lands for more than one hundred years. "This justifies," he said, "the state, local governments, and private citizens investing large sums of money in the creation of the ports which made possible the development of California. This right of ownership should not now be kept aside by mere government. The simplest way to remove land from these titles is by wise solutions of Congress quitclaim-title to these lands." Emons are truly a California crop; this state produces 99 percent of the American crop and loses lemons every week of the year. At the Bethel Baptist church there will be four solos during the morning service and two at the evening service. During the morning there will be "How Calm and Beautiful the Morn" by the choir with Fred B. Holton and "Christ the Lord is Risen" with Roy E. Nolte. The Men's Chorus will sing, "There Was A Garden" with Nolte and H. Stabbert will play a violin solo, "The Holy City." At the evening service Nolte will sing with the choir, "Awake Thou That Sleepest" and "Alleluia, Christ is King." As in preceding years outstanding Easter music has been arranged for the two morning services at the White Temple Methodist church. The vested choir is directed by Mrs. Donald Rees and the organist is Miss Olive Kempin. The opening number will be "Allelujah, Death is Conquered" by Tompkins, the beautiful 16th Century Easter carol, "This Glad Easter Day," arranged by Dickinson will be sung next with Mrs. H. J. Fackiner singing the role of Mary Magdalene and Miss Loretta Dean, soprano portraying the Angel's voice. The anthem, "White Lilies of Our Lord Immaculate" by Clarence Dickenson will be sung by Fred C. Edwards, bass and will include a prayer theme. The concluding number will be sung by Miss Edith Brown, soprano. This will be Mozart's beautiful "Allelujah" and she will be accompanied by the choir. Music from Handel's "Messiah" and the "Hallelujah Chorus" will be played on the pipe organ by Miss Kempin. IN MONTANA Mr. and Mrs Cortez Hoskins of Katella road are on a business trip in Montana. It may be that it was best for republicans and the country that Governor Dewey was defeated, he went on in saying that the responsibility for the last 14 years of government is on the democrats and that it is they who must lead the country back to peace and normal living. At least, he said, if they fail the republicans cannot be blamed for everything as they were in 1932. The morning and afternoon session was broken with a delicious luncheon that was sponsored by the Anaheim council. Mrs. J. J. Dwyer, local council president, and Mrs. Eva Boyd supervised the luncheon details: Among those from Anaheim attending the enthusiastic meeting were Mesdames J. J. Dwyer, A. J. Schutte, L. M. Holstein, C. J. Mauerhan, Lena Rowe, R. R. Lightner, May Griggs, Harold Kahn, C. C. Davis, Grace Lee, C. W. Wingert, Milton Sell, Emma Karlen, C. A. Sisson, Eva Boyd and B. A. Arnold. Financial Boy Scout Drive $800 Short Goal for the Boy Scout drive has not yet been reached, "Tex" Middleton, chairman, stated this morning and urged that those who received cards in the mail return them with donations as soon as possible so that the drive can be wound up. Middleton said that Anaheim lacked $800 of its $3,300 goal. The goal is considerably higher than it was last year because scouting has increased so much in the past year and the fine record of achievement cannot be maintained unless there are adequate funds to meet the budget.
