A GOOD START, MR. TRUMAN! Harry S. Truman-the man who didn't want to be President-got off to a fine start in his new job as the Nation's Chief Executive. His first speech to Congress was simple, sincere and direct. In his first press conference he won the plaudits of the White House correspondents for his straightforward answers to their questions. His first appointment, that of John W. Snyder as Federal Loan Administrator, was hailed as a sound one. His im- BERLIN BURIAL Berlin, dying as it lived, in a final, furious outburst of violence, has been buried in its own rubble. The citadel of might, where ruthless men planned their sordid campaign of world subjugation, has become a symbol of total war's fearful retribution.

Truman-the man who didn't want to be President-got off to a fine start in his new job as the Nation's Chief Executive. His first speech to Congress was simple, sincere and direct. In his first press conference he won the plaudits of the White House correspondents for his straightforward answers to their questions. His first appointment, that of John W. Snyder as Federal Loan Administrator, was hailed as a sound one. His immediate decision that the San Francisco Conference should not be delayed showed that he can act quickly and confidently. Of course, the real test lies ahead. The problems of winning the war and making the peace secure call for skillful leadership. There are also the difficult matters of reconversion, demobilization, how long price control and rationing shall be maintained after V-E Day, full employment, and balancing the Federal budget after Japan is beaten. He has already expressed his approval on reciprocal tariffs and the Bretton Woods monetary plan. He has made known his opposition toward monopolistic schemes which would be to the detriment of the Nation's agriculture, business and industry. For a man who hardly more than a decade ago was an obscure county judge, and even as Vice-President was not looked upon as possessing more than average ability, he has proved, thus far, a happy surprise to the Nation. History records the names of many men who became great when great responsibilities were thrust upon them. In time, Mr. Truman's name may be added to this list. At least, he has made a good start in that direction. When barbed wire was first introduced in the British Isles and America, there was strong objection to it on humanitarian grounds. Berlin, dying as it lived, in a final, furious outburst of violence, has been buried in its own rubble. The citadel of might, where ruthless men planned their sordid campaign of world subjugation, has become a symbol of total war's fearful retribution. Fragmentary reports of the battle for Berlin make it clear that the once-arrogant Nazi capital has been literally blasted from the face of the earth-and that little remains in vast areas of the city but tangled wreckage and debris. This is Hitler's final monument-a gravestone of broken masonry, piled on the broken bodies of his people; a once great capital reduced to ashes; a city condemned to death by its own fanatical leaders seemingly determined on their own self-destruction when they could no longer satiate their lust for destruction on the helpless of other Nations. Russian tanks and artillery, and Allied bombs and rockets, wrought the actual destruction. But if ever a city committed suicide, and then pulled its buildings down to cover its passing, that city was Berlin, capital of the Nazi hierarchy. 'Going-to-Shop' Clubs Asked by WPB We've all heard of "going-to-work" car clubs. In fact, it's very likely on or more members of your family already belong to one. You, as a housewife, can do your part in sharing the ride, too. Form a "going-to-shop" club with three or four other women who live near you and shop in your neighborhood. If you take turns driving, you'll all be saving gasoline, tires and general wear and tear on your individual cars. It will be an important contribution to our critical war-time transportation problem, too. WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS The baseball season is in full swing.

I will take two familiar cries of the ball park and apply them to the conference in San Francisco. What do you hear first? No, I didn’t mean “Tickets please!” I meant, “You can’t understand the game without a score card; get your score card here.” I will make you a score card for San Francisco. It will be the list of eight items which are the document known as the “Atlantic Charter.” Oh yes, it turned out later that there never was such a document; only the press releases of the newsmen who accompanied the party. That is technical; unimportant for the moment. It did exist in the hearts and minds of the people of the little nations, and some of the big. It was presented to the House of Representatives as House Document No. 358, of the 77th Congress, 1st Session, August 21st, 1941. These are the statements of the representatives of the two most democratic nations in the world, of the two strongest nations. These are the promises upon which the peoples of the world planned their hopes. Take this score card to the San Francisco game; mark the results. The eight items, slightly abbreviated, are: (1) No aggrandizement; territorial or otherwise. (2) No territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned. (3) The right of all people to choose the form of government they want; self-government restored to those deprived of it. (4) To try to get for all nations, big or little, access to the trade and the materials necessary for their economic prosperity. (5) “The fullest collaboration between all nations in the economic field with the object of securing, for all, improved labor standards, economic advancement, and social security.” (6) A peace which will afford all nations the means of living in safety within their own boundaries; freedom from fear and from want. (7) A peace under which all people can travel the seas freely. (8) All nations must abandon the use to force; “the establishment of a wider and permanent system of general security;” the disarmament of nations which threaten the peace; the encouragement of measures to lighten the burden of armaments. This is your scor card. What I the last thing you hear coming home from the ball park. “Get your winning colors!” I want the winning colors of San Francisco to be red, white and blue, because I have no illusions about that conference. The hope for success lies in the unchallenged sincerity and unselfishness of the United States; in the influence of this nation. Our strength today, materially and spiritually is not realized by our own people. Our first test is San Francisco. I haven’t forgotten that I was going to polish the crystal ball and write about the new president, but the Conference opens today. The crystal ball will have to wait a week. Ed Atherton of the ostrich was in town yesterday and turned vegetarian laid in of bananas and dates to until he comes to town a Fred Pressel has put up residence on his recently placed lot on Santa Ana street of Mr. Lorenz’s. He moved with his family yesterday. Carpenter McWilliams is fying the Cressy residue Claudina street recently pled by John Schauman. M. B. L. Bourland of Springs, Texas a newspaper connected with the press State, has been visiting city and on Tuesday made pleasant call. The cement ditch being constructed by Mrs. Strodtle Lemon Street is a great imment, and, as a result other irrigators have in contention the cementing of ditches.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter Century ago. 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. 50 Years Ago May 9, 1895 A new oil well has been com-pleted at Puver, which produces 20 barrels per day. Another one recently put down yields 50 barrals, while from the largest well 30 barrels are pumped daily. dirty wells are now operated and others are constantly being shut down. It is probable that arrangements will be made by this day to burn oil at the water parks, the cost being considerably less than the charge for coal. Herr Conrad is bestiring himself in the matter of holding a fourth of July celebration here, and he informs us he will furnish refreshments to the strong mile the procession goes past. It us celebrate. Eleven pupils in the ninth grade of the public school will probably graduate at the close of the term, next month and they are making arrangements for a mass day, to occur just before commencement, when the usual 25 Years Ago May 6, 1920 Senator Hiram W. Johnson demonstrated Tuesday that the vote which swept him into the senate by nearly 200,000 majority while the republican candidate for president lost the state, is still behind him. His majority over Hoover in the primaries had reached 108,000 at last reports, with twelve hundred precincts yet to be heard from, and it was claimed by Johnson's manager that he had carried the state by 150,000. Nine hundred votes were cast in Anaheim. Johnson polled 558 and Hoover 273. Only about fifty democratic votes were cast. There will be no lack of entertainment in Anaheim for the next ten days. The Auto show, the finest thing of the kind ever seen in Orange County opened yesterday afternoon and will continue the balance of the week and the Chautauqua with its program of high-class talent, begins a seven-day session Saturday night. (More 50 Years Ago) It is announced the Santa Ana Blade will change hands again shortly. Horace McPhee of Riverside being the new editor and manager. Mr. McPhee will make a Republican paper out of it is the report from Santa Ana. (More 25 Years Ago) Miss Ruth Grim, who has been attending the state university, arrived home first of the week. Leonard Hessel and family will soon move to their new home on Placentia avenue where he owns an orange grove. THE NATIONS GATHER This week the representatives of the nations have gathered in San Francisco. Gathered with them are the hopes of humanity for a lasting peace. It is hardly possible that a formula for a permanent peaceful world can be worked out at this one conference. It is possible, however, that in view of the progress already made at Teheran, Dumbarton Oaks, Yalta and Chapultepec, further progress in this direction can be realized. Actually, the diplomats who gather by the Golden Gate cannot "build" the peace as one might build a house or a church. They can only seek to establish the proper political and economic "climate" in which the desire for peace-which has already grown up in the hearts of men-may be brought to fruition. It should be remembered however, that no matter how successful the conference may be, its results are not likely to completely satisfy every nation. Concessions must be made by all. No one nation - great or small - must be solved and insisted on. President Truman deserves his speech to Congress, sponsibility of the greatest to serve and not to dominate peoples of the world."

The program will appear next week. Miss Margaret E. Landell has been chosen a member of the staff of editors of the Normalponent, issued by scholars of the Los Angeles Normal School. She will graduate at the close of the term. Miss May Weaver invited a number of her young friends to meet with her at her home on Tuesday evening in honor of her eighteenth birthday and a pleasant one was spent in parlor games and dancing. The Ladies Aid Society met at the home of Mrs. Campbell on Thursday afternoon and elected the following officers to serve for the ensuing year: Mrs. Rogers, president; Mrs. Grimshaw, Mrs. Beazley and Mrs. Morton, vice-presidents; Mrs. Roberts, treasurer and Mrs. Hack, secretary. The ladies thank all who assisted them in their recent Birthday Fete, especially to Mr. M. H. DeYoung of the San Francisco Chronicle who responded to the birthday offering as the odest man-being 60 years old! - also to little George Green of British Columbia, one year old. An elongated weasel, popping up from the weeds in the old lanter's corner and darting across the street into Rimpauros store, created no end of excitement among a crowd of men and boys, on Saturday afternoon, who gave chase to it in an eager attempt to capture it. It was caught in the store and taken to Wisser's and placed in a cage, but immediately squeezed through the wires and made its way out of the place and started at a hop, skip and jump up the street with the crowd after it in full cry. It was soon overtaken and came to brief by coming into forcible contact with Ernest Bentz's boot. He placed his heel gently upon its head, and it was sent to Kingdom were cast in Anaheim. Johnson polled 558 and Hoover 273. Only about fifty democratic votes were cast. There will be no lack of entertainment in Anaheim for the next ten days. The Auto show, the finest thing of the kind ever seen in Orange County opened yesterday afternoon and will continue the balance of the week and the Chautauqua with its program of high-class talent, begins a seven-day session Saturday night. At conclusion of their labors at a special meeting Friday night the city Trustees went into executive session presumably to consider the appointment of a city marshall, recorder and rate collector. In all probability these officials will be appointed at the regular meeting May 13. Nicolas Theodore on Monday morning received a telegram from his brother George, saying that he and his wife had arrived safely in Paris on Saturday. They sailed from New York on April 24. Bert Simpson has gone into the heavy trucking business, being associated with Mr. Bigelow, and will make a speciality of heavy hauling to outside points. Dr. J. H. Bullard, of Los Angeles, formerly a well known resident of Anaheim, has undergone a surgical operation at the California hospital. He is reported improving and his many friends in this city indulge a hope that he may speedily recover. T. B. Cone and Ed Parsons left on Sunday morning for Ensenada, where Mr. Cone will visit his ranch in that locality. They expected to reach Tia Juana in the afternoon arriving at Ensenada on Monday. "Tex" Choate took a fancy to an eleven-months old airdale belonging to Mr. Cook of the sugar factory, and bought it. The dog is a thorough bred, and "Tex" proposes to train him to be an auto watchdog and guard the household at night. A white fence is being constructed about the trees and palms below Buena Park on the boulevard. These landmarks are all that remain of the little park from which Buena Park was named. They are very beautiful and for sentimental reasons alone, should be preserved and cared for. The territory around the trees consists of about an acre might build a house or a church. They can only seek to establish the proper political and economic "climate" in which the desire for peace-which has already grown up in the hearts of men-may be brought to fruition. It should be remembered however, that no matter how successful the conference may be, its results are not likely to completely satisfy every nation. Concessions must be made by all. No one nation - great or small - can expect all others to conform to its views. The problems which the conferees face are multiple and complex. The Polish question alone calls for the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job. Yet it President Truman dehis his speech to Congress, sponsibility of the greatest people of the world."

A white fence is being constructed about the trees and palms below Buena Park on the boulevard. These landmarks are all that remain of the little park from which Buena Park was named. They are very beautiful and for sentimental reasons alone, should be preserved and cared for. The territory around the trees consists of about an acre formerly deeded to the county by the founder, James A. Whitaker. This territory will be surrounded by the fence and as a good well is in this plot of ground, campers will be privileged to stop there for a certain length of time, conforming to the laws of the chamber of commerce and the automobile clubs. In a contest last week Grace Hedstrom was chosen valedictorian at the graduation exercises of the high school, and Kenneth Goodale salutatorian. Richard Fischle is making substantial improvements in his candy and ice-cream establishment on West Center street. The premises have been enlarged giving double the space for the front room which is elegantly fitted up for patrons. Vic LaMont and Marion Eden left yesterday on a fishing excursion to Little Bear. They will probably be gone all week, which means a great reduction in the fish population of Little Bear. G. A. Mills was a business visitor in town on Monday. Mr. Mills owns a fine orange grove on the state highway north of town. McClary-Hurst Rites Solemnized In San Francisco Miss Joan McClary, daughter of Mrs. Delores McClary of Anaheim and S/Sgt William B. Hurst, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hurst of Indianola, Ill., were united in marriage April 21 in the First Christian church in San Francisco. Rev. Clifford Jope, pastor of the church officiated. The bride wore a white crepe street dress, all white accessories and carried a white Bible upon which rested two orchids tied with white ribbon and gardenia streamers. She was attended by her sister, Mrs. Josephine Lewis, matron of honor, and by Miss Barbara Knight of Santa Ana who was maid of honor. Best man was T/4 Owen Pierce and usher was Sgt. Carl Lenz. Both men were stationed on Attu with the bridegroom for more than two years. The trio returned to the United States last January. The bridal couple will make their home temporarily in San Francisco. The bride is a graduate of Katella school and the Anaheim Union High school. must be solved and it can be solved. President Truman declared in his speech to Congress, "The responsibility of the great states is to serve and not to dominate the peoples of the world." If this idea is adhered to by the representatives of Britian, Russia, and the United States, it will go a long way toward speeding the establishment of a "climate" for an enduring world peace.

Then why pay more for a personal loan than the Bank of America rate? The cost of a Bank of America Timeplan loan, repaid at maturity in 12 equal monthly installments, can be as much as 50% less than the cost of a similar loan arranged through many lending companies ... and there are no other charges ... no deductions. That's as plain as we know how to say it. At Bank of America you can also borrow on your car whether it is fully paid for or not. And you need not be a depositor to arrange a Timeplan loan at any branch. President Truman declared in his speech to Congress, "The responsibility of the great states is to serve and not to dominate the peoples of the world." If this idea is adhered to by the representatives of Britian, Russia, and the United States, it will go a long way toward speeding the establishment of a "climate" for an enduring world peace.
