NEWSPAPER WEEK The sixth annual observance of Newspaper Week, beginning next Monday, has a theme in which the men and women of the American press may take honest pride: "A Free Press—Torch of World Peace." War-time difficulties of the press, and journalism's direct contributions toward victory, may be passed over. Shortages in materials and personnel were serious handicaps—but other industries suffered comparable burdens. Newspapers were lavish in donating curtailed space to War Bond drives, metal and paper salvage drives, recruiting appeals, and a thousand and one other. Cypress Honor Roll Soon Will Be Completed When the boys and girls coming marching home to Cypress, there is going to be a large honor roll awaiting them. The stand is already completed. It is five feet wide by eight feet high, legs stand in cement, and a glass cover will protect names from the elements. Placed in front of the Cypress Company G’s marksmen parade for their regular semi-annual target practice on Saturday last at the range beyond Fullerton. Good scores were made, Sergeant Hatfield carrying off the honors with a score of 47, the highest ever made on the company range. Having made more than 90 at boots shoots this year (his score was 92) he gets a gold bar added to his present medal for superior marksmanship, and a chance to take part in the shoot for the diamond medal offered for the best shot in the state. Other making high scores were George Boyd, 43; Lloyd Bailey, 42; Lt. R. Adams, 43; Capt. G. S. Laidell, 44; William Kroeger, 41, and E. Holman, 42. William Hill hauled in his thresher last Friday evening after dark, after having been in the field 83 days. An average of 7 sacks of grain per day was threatened, equaling an output of 6250 sacks altogether. Of this some 5000 sacks were wheat, the rebarley. The many friends of Rail Blair will be pleased to learn his good fortune in securing the position of instructor of military tactics at the Preston School Industry at Ione. He recently passed a successful examination in the tactics at Sacramento and was commissioned major w headquarters at the Ione institution. War-time difficulties of the press, and journalism's direct contributions toward victory, may be passed over. Shortages in materials and personnel were serious handicaps—but other industries suffered comparable burdens. Newspapers were lavish in donating curtailed space to War Bond drives, metal and paper salvage drives, recruiting appeals, and a thousand and one other needs of public information and inspiration. But other industries were likewise zealous in patriotic sacrifices and labors. The unique achievement of American journalism was its demonstration that true freedom of the press engenders a high pride in integrity as well as a sense of intolerance for shackles imposed from without. American newspapermen — scores of thousands of them—accepted without coercion a voluntary code of war-time censorship. They were entrusted by the government with many secrets that would have been extremely dangerous to this nation in the knowledge of our enemies. The secrets were kept. The code was observed. There was no need of a government censor in an American newspaper office! History has proven, again and again, that human liberty cannot long survive where the press is stifled, and that despotism cannot survive for long where the press is free. In the torch of a free press flames the hope of mankind for peace throughout the world—and in the war record of the free press of America is established a standard of honor and responsibility that brightens the white dame. CLEAN UP IN JAPAN Fearing that our occupation policy under General MacArthur is becoming too soft, the War, State and Navy departments have directed him to get rid of the extreme nationalist element in Japan both in public and private posts. Probably the General's recent statement that only 200,000 men would be needed to make up the army of occupation together with the indication that he intended to let some of the "old crowd" retain their positions, has stirred Washington into action. No one questions General MacArthur's ability as a soldier but many doubts are already springing up as to his political insight to cope with the situation now. When the boys and girls coming marching home to Cypress, there is going to be a large honor roll awaiting them. The stand is already completed. It is five feet wide by eight feet high, legs stand in cement, and a glass cover will protect names from the elements. Placed in front of the Cypress school auditorium, the honor roll will be in a prominent place where all may see the names of those who fought—and in some case died—for their country. Sponsored by the Cypress chamber of commerce, the committee working on the honor roll is composed of Jake Van Dyke and Haskell Kelley. Names of Cypress men and women to appear on the honor roll are as follows: Claire Barnett, Emmett Barnett, Paul Boettcher, John Boettcher, George Strempel, Raymond Oelke, Dorrence DeWitt, Jess Green.

Although Joyce proved his American citizenship he was held to have committed treason by leaving England under the declaration that he was a British subject and then working as a Nazi propaganda broadcaster. His radio programs, given in a rich British accent, made fun of England's efforts to stand up against Germany. His humor was hardly appreciated by the British during the dark days of the war. But it would appear that they will have the last laugh. It has been said, "He who laughs last, his laugh lasts". IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 50 Years Ago OCT. 3, 1895 By an overwhelming vote Thursday the people of this city decided that Anaheim should have a municipal park and that bonds in the amount of $100,000 should be sold for the purpose of purchasing the site and improving the grounds. The total vote for the bonds was 699 against 169. The people have spoken in unmistakable language. They want a park and they want it located on the site offered the trustees by H. A. Dickel. Three or four of the forty pepper dryers in the Garden Grove district have opened up and will be receiving peppers in ten days, it was stated today by Fred Kealiher, of West Anaheim, who says he never saw peppers looking better.

Edison Company Offices to Close On Saturdays The return of the Southern California Edison company to the peace time forty hour week was announced today by R. E. Bacon, Santa Ana district manager for the comapny. To effect this the Edison district office in Santa Ana and the local office in Orange will be closed all day Saturdays, Bacon said. At the beginning of the war, the Edison company, like other major industries of the nation, extended its working schedule to meet war-time demands. The return of the company to the former forty-hour week, but with the elimination of Saturday office hours, is in conformity with the program of federal offices and other industries.

Zens of Berkeley were in town visiting friends during the week. On Monday they drove with Mr. and Mrs. Welborn Wallop through Los Angeles and Pasadena, On What's Ahead for the Citrus Grower? Now that we are in the long awaited postwar era, every citrus grower is asking himself, "Where do I stand—what can I expect in the next few years?" We can't escape the fact that we face an entirely different set of conditions both at home and abroad than ever before. The effect of war-time controls; national debt; and taxation are but a few of the problems to be met in coming years. But as Paul Armstrong, General Manager, California Fruit Growers Exchange, says, "While we can't expect to retain all of our wartime gains in volume and prices, now more firmly than ever citrus is established as a staple food. Some conditions are beyond our control but essentially the future of the citrus industry is in the hands of the same growers who made it what it is. We must face our postwar problems realistically and move with unity toward their solution." Some of the problems ahead are already plain to see. As everybody knows, national income is expected to fall considerably below its wartime peak of 160 billion dollars annually. Folks will have less money to spend. Citrus will have to compete vigorously for its share of the consumer's dollar—not only against a full supply of other fresh fruits and of canned juices, but against all other types of foods and consumer goods returning to the market. Total U. S. citrus production is going to be expanded by substantial increases in Florida and Texas. Each of these states has planted about 40 thousand acres of oranges and grapefruit and a similar acreage of lemons. (Reasons for larger plantings in Florida and Texas: much lower land cost; lower cultural and packing costs; shorter hauls to major markets.) This increased production in other areas will mean that California oranges will compete in the postwar market with an unprecedented volume of fruit produced at low cost. As Mr. Armstrong pointed out to your reporter, the California industry will have a substantially smaller percentage of total production. This will call for aggressive California Reporter Avocado Growers Meeting Schedule Oct. 19 at La Habra Friday, October 19, has set for the annual Avocado Growers' Institute at La Habraington school, according to nouncement from farm at Harold E.
