FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT "The President is dead!" Suddenly, last Thursday afternoon, every newspaper in the United States pushed aside every other news story the wires had brought in — and re-made its pages to flash that momentous message to its readers. Every radio station stopped whatever program was in progress and started giving its listeners bulletins from the White House and other official quarters in Washington concerning the tragic death of the President. To every person on the street, every man in his office, every woman in her home, the news—"The President is dead!"—carried personal shock, almost as great as an unexpected family tragedy. dent of the United States had succumbed. When he first began to campaign for the Presidency, in 1932, spectators at the political rallies murmured wonderingly about this man who had to be wheeled onto the platform or had to be assisted in walking. But his warm personality and his ability to inspire his listeners soon wiped out the concept of him as a cripple. To his everlasting credit it must be said that he saw the rising danger of fascism long before many of his countrymen, and he recognized that the safety of this nation was definitely linked to the survival of Britain. His efforts to aid Britain have redounded to the benefit of America. Men often differed with Frank- IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Quarter Century ago.

The Santa Ana and Huntsville To every person on the street, every man in his office, every woman in her home, the news—"The President is dead!"—carried personal shock, almost as great as an unexpected family tragedy. A whole nation mourned the loss of its leader—and in other nations, thousands of miles distant, big and little people alike were shocked and stunned by the news. This wasn't just Franklin D. Roosevelt who had died. This was the President of the United States—a man whose tremendous influence had reached out to every corner of the globe, a man who personified Uncle Sam to millions of little, helpless people, whose very right to live might depend on the policies of the United States government. History, in the years to come, will place its own valuation on Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It may mark him down as one of the greatest Presidents in the annals of the American people, or it may give him lesser stature—dependent on how the acts of his administration measure up when they are viewed dispassionately after the man's personal magnetism and warmth are gone. But this much every real American would grant Franklin D. Roosevelt: In our country's greatest hour of trial, when we could have been over-run and despoiled, if we had failed each other, President Roosevelt rallied the American people solidly together, with one purpose, with one cause—to save the United States and the world from enslavement and tyranny. He had great ability; he had great courage; he had a great capacity for inspiring confidence in the people—and he used every power at his command to save not only the American people, but all freedom-loving people, from the loss of their liberty. Life goes on. The passing of any man, however humble or great, from earth's scenes does not break the flow of Life, for Life is something more than the existence of one man or even the collective existence of all human beings. So, with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. His death, coming as it did in this crucial day of history, at the Airplane beacon lights develop in walking. But his warm personality and his ability to inspire his listeners soon wiped out the concept of him as a cripple. To his everlasting credit it must be said that he saw the rising danger of fascism long before many of his countrymen, and he recognized that the safety of this nation was definitely linked to the survival of Britain. His efforts to aid Britain have redounded to the benefit of America. Men often differed with Franklin Roosevelt. They often disagreed with his methods. But in bidding him goodbye they pay tribute to his courage, his vision and his humanitarianism. He will be missed. The President is dead. May God give strength and wisdom to the President who succeeds him. PRESIDENT TRUMAN After more than twelve years of saying "President Roosevelt" it will not be an easy task to change it to "President Truman." Harry S. Truman, born on a Missouri farm 60 years ago, has been thrust into world history from comparative obscurity of the Vice Presidency. Unlike his predecessor, his family was poor. His career has not been outstanding. Before his election to the Senate, he devoted his time to farming, to an unsuccessful business venture, and to a job as county judge. As head of the Senate investigating committee of war activities, he made a good name for himself. The committee's reports were enlightening. They were straightforward in placing the blame where deserved or giving credit where it was due. These investigations gave Harry Truman an inside knowledge of the war effort which he could not have otherwise obtained. It should help him greatly in his new duties. Mr. Truman is an unassuming man. He recognizes his own limitations. He has made it clear that he plans no radical changes in policy or in the Administration. His principal aim will be to keep the nation on even keel during the months ahead, in seeing the war to a successful conclusion and in laying the foundation for a lasting peace. Few men in all history have been faced with a greater responsibility than now confronts him. He cannot handle it alone. He will need our cooperation, our support and our prayers. These we must give him. Newport Beach and Balboa hold a harbor jubilee Saturday celebration of beginning dredging work for Orange City's harbor. Persons from all the county are expected to pay pate.

We hope the good work will be kept up to the end that a public telephone system may also be established. A correspondent suggests the formation of a 5,000 club. Surely with a bit of energetic work we ought to be able to secure 5,000 inhabitants for our city. It is all very well for us to realize that we have the very best climatic conditions, the finest soil and most productive lands and a grand irrigation system, but to obtain the standing and position to which we are entitled we must call forth our dormant energies and work for the development of our city.
