CHINA'S EIGHT YEARS OF WAR On July 7, 1937—more than two years before Hitler invaded Poland and 4½ years prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor—China began the heroic and historic struggle forced upon her by Japanese aggression. Now, after eight years of ceaseless fighting, the battle is still going on. By all odds the Chinese should have collapsed long ago. But today they are fighting back more strongly and more effectively than ever. From present indications a long hard road lies yet ahead. Even if American forces invade the Japan and events beyond our time must answer that. He would be a cynic, however, who would argue that a first step, however faltering, has not been taken toward world peace. Any international federation, organized with the expectation that nations would hand over all executive power of foreign policy to a mixed international body, would be doomed from the start. But a world federation dedicated to the common ideal of world peace, whose members may consult each other with an element of mutual understanding, and whose auspices offer an ultimate means of collective security, surely will strengthen and fortify the Now, after eight years of ceaseless fighting, the battle is still going on. By all odds the Chinese should have collapsed long ago. But today they are fighting back more strongly and more effectively than ever. From present indications a long hard road lies yet ahead. Even if American forces invade the Japanese homeland there is the possibility that the powerful Nip armies in China will continue to fight. The situation in China, however, has brightened tremendously during the past year. The overland route to Chungking's "back door" has been reopened. Supplies are now coming through in greatly increased quantities. American pressure in the Pacific is apparently forcing Tokyo to withdraw troops northward in China, thus opening areas on the "invasion coast" for possible landings by our armies. Eight years ago, and for nearly five years thereafter, Chiang Kai Shek and his country stood alone against the Jap war machine that had largely been built up and was being sustained by American oil and scrap iron. Today the greatest sea armada of all time, together with powerful air and land forces, are giving the Chinese long-deserved assistance. By the end of this year, if the Nips have not thrown in the sponge, they will be faced by military might even more overwhelming than at present. So, for the first time in eight long years, the light of hope is dawning across China's night of blackness and chaos. The devotion of the Chinese to the cause of liberty and their determination to preserve it against all odds will long stand as an inspiration to freedom-loving peoples the world over. ONE SMALL CANDLE The United Nations Conference on International Organization is history. No man can say today nor for many years to come whether or not the great Charter, signed by the representatives of 50 nations, will bind the world in lasting peace, or whether it will be an utterly meaningless document to future generations. Men taken toward world peace. Any international federation, organized with the expectation that nations would hand over all executive power of foreign policy to a mixed international body, would be doomed from the start. But a world federation dedicated to the common ideal of world peace, whose members may consult each other with an element of mutual understanding, and whose auspices offer an ultimate means of collective security, surely will strengthen and fortify the basis on which enduring peace may build. "No peace system will be entirely watertight," remarked Lord Cranborne, Dominion secretary, on the final day of the conference. "But the alternative is so frightful we must make every effort to make our peace system work." Five years ago a gun that could fire 50 miles was a phenomenon, but in the last six months rocket projectiles have poured into London from 200 miles away. And the rocket principle is capable of indefinite expansion. All things considered, the world simply cannot afford to fight another war. Imperfect as the initial work of the conference undoubtedly is, its offer of settlement of quarrels by agreement is the only alternative to settlement by war. The great light of certain peace may not break over the world for some time to come. Meanwhile, it is better, certainly, "to light one small candle than to curse the darkness". Pioneer of Big Bear Valley Dies After having pioneered and lived in Big Bear valley for 40 years, George J. Pascoe passed away there this week at the age of 70. He was a native of Ontario, Canada and is survived by numerous nieces and nephews including Mrs. A. T. Wilson, Jr., of Anaheim. Graveside services were conducted this afternoon, Thursday, at Inglewood Park cemetery, Rev. Thomas L. Burden officiating. Funeral arrangements were in charge of Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars. Everybody reads The Gazette. Your reporter has just read mighty interesting story. It's tainted in the recently published annual Report of the Fruit Grocery Company. As you probably know, the Growers Supply Company is the organization set up many years by Sunkist growers to furnish orchard and packing house supplies. The story has to do with box shipper (That word shook used to coine me, but I found out it means for citrus shipping boxes.). In 1910, to make sure that a related Sunkist growers would always have a good supply of shook able at reasonable cost, the Growers Supply Company acquired some timber and a mill at Hiltown in 1919 bought some larger timbers and built a modern mill Susanville, in northern California. The idea was not to supply all shook needed by Exchange growers but simply to make sure there was always enough and at reasonable cost. This was far-sighted. Yet no matter at that time could have dreamt how tremendously important facilities would one day prove to That happened about twenty years later, when the war came. Up to then the Supply Company was producing about 25% of its shook used by its members. The war laid its unheard-of demons on the lumber industry, the supply of shook from other producers creased sharply. A ruined short was about to paralyzize the entire California-Arizona citrus industry. Then, because the Supply Company owned its own timber mills, it was able to increase its production until now it is making 70% of the shook used by its members. This has taken a tremendous off-the other suppliers, and as a result there has been enough shank for the California-Arizona citrus dustry. Well, today after a quarter o'clock, the Supply Company may have cut nearly 2 billion feet timber. So, as this Annual Repellent tells, the Exchange has once again looked to the future. During this last year, the Supply Company has once more made... Amye Gilliam’s Beauty Shoppe NOW OPEN Come in and let’s get acquainted!

The full board was present. Marshal Steadman reported the collection of $503.12 for water, licenses and electric lights and $30 for dog tax. Treasurer Cahm reported a balance of $919.97 in the treasury on the 8th inst. Trustees Helmsen and Lewis, as a special committee appointed to investigate the conduct of Charlie Wommer, driver of the city team, accused of being derelict in his duty, reported that Wommer had stayed in Fullerton longer than was necessary on one excessively warm day, being lenient with his team, but that he made up the time in the evening, when he sprinkled the north end of Los Angeles street upon which a lot of gravel had been hauled. Mr. Wommer was exonerated from any charge of dereliction of duty. The finance committee announced a reduction of 25 per cent on the electric light rate. This action will doubtless be the means of securing more patrons. A further reduction will be made shortly if the running expenses of the electric plant permit. The old blacksmith shop on Center street, next to Everhaly's livery stable, belonging to Mrs. Mitchell, was reported to be in a dangerous condition and may collapse at any moment. The owner will be notified to repair it at once. Engineer des Granges was instructed to place an electric polygon on North Los Angeles street. 25 Years Ago JULY 8, 1920 The old Central school building is no more. Work of demolishing the building was completed the first of the week, and Orange county's oldest school house passed out of existence. This building was erected more than forty years ago. Some years later one wing was destroyed by fire, but was immediately rebuilt. The beautiful new structure that crowded it off the grounds will be ready for occupancy when the fall term ends. It is reported that the Crown Stage company has secured a lease on North Los Angeles street now occupied by Kaspar Chanieres as a restaurant and will use the same as an entrance for an auto stage station. The lot in the rear will be equipped for the housing of stages, which will come in and out from the alley on the north.
