There are a lot of so-called "big business" organizations in New York, Cleveland, Washington, Chicago, Omaha, San Francisco, Los Angeles and elsewhere that are blind to the fact that the principal markets for ordinary goods and materials are outside their city limits. Institutions that turn up their noses at the "small-fry" smaller cities and towns do not seem to know that the raw materials from which manufactured products are created are drawn from every one of the 48 states. This "small-fry" is the strongest part of the nation's industrial system. There are 3,000 counties that are actually engaged in reconversion from wartime to peacetime. Government statistics substantiate this statement. On the other hand, the "big-fry" that assumes that it is smart- Knowland Scores Lumber Exports Exportation of American lumber to foreign countries, in the face of existing housing shortages in the United States, was attacked by Sen. William F. Knowland of California, in a speech from the floor of the United States senate Feb. 8. Quoting press releases to the effect that the Civilian Production Administration has set up a quota for export of 225,000,000 board feet for the first quarter of 1946, he declared that "if that were followed out for the four quarters, it would mean exportation of more than a billion feet (this year) during a period when there is a most critical housing shortage in all sections of the United States." Knowland quoted OPA figures, showing last year's exportation IN THE DAY MARCH 11, 1871 There is a project on foot have the board of supervisors tablish a county road to Anaheim.

NATIONAL 4-H WEEK Orange county 4-H clubs will fall in line with the national effort to reach the new 4-H goal of 3,200,000 members by 1950. National 4-H Club Week will be particularly devoted toward this end March 2-10. The theme for National 4-H Club Week this year is "The Local 4-H Club in a Changing World." General purposes of National 4-H Club Week have been summarized by H. W. Longfellow and M. Mabel C. Stone of the local cultural extension service: To encourage 4-H clubs to inventory their communities relative to those young people eligible for membership and to stimulate every 4-H member to assume responsibility for enrolling at least one new member and helping him to get started in accordance with sound 4-H club procedure. Thus, every 4-H member will feel that he is doing his part in attaining the national 4-H goal (3,200,000 members by 1950). To enlist more public-spirited citizens as local leaders, and to provide other opportunities whereby they may be enabled to give further support to 4-H club programs. TELEGRAPH OBSOLETE The cost of telegraphing 300 words from Washington to San Francisco is about $32. You can telephone 300 words across for a little more than $3. Dissertation in Employer Ranks Is Indicated Dissertation in the Employers Industrial Relations council indicated in persistent rumors became reality Tuesday; with announcement that William H. Carter, the body's executive secretary, has quit his post. Carter, who had been the organization's secretary six years, will remain as labor relations consultant. His successor as secretary has not been named. Declaration that Carter has not submitted his resignation, but has offered to do so "if it will clarify policy" of the organization was attributed earlier to William H. Spurgeon, Jr., council president. Directors are said to have named a committee to outline policies, which have been under fire in connection with recent handling effect that the Civilian Production Administration has set up a quota for export of 225,000,000 board feet for the first quarter of 1946, he declared that "if that were followed out for the four quarters, it would mean exportation of more than a billion feet (this year) during a period when there is a most critical housing shortage in all sections of the United States." Knowland quoted OPA figures, showing last year's exportation of lumber from the United States was 427,000,000 feet. Under the quota set up by the Civilian Production Administration, in the first two quarters of this year we will export more than we exported during the entire year of 1945," he said. Setting requirements for the average home at 10,000 board feet, Knowland declared this year's projected exports of lumber would construct more than 100,000 homes in the United States. Knowland pointed out that there are lumber resources in Europe to meet European requirements, and that the Philippines could supply demands of the Pacific area, provided sawmill facilities were made available. "I think the administration should take immediate cognizance of the situation, and, before coming to congress and suggesting other remedies, it should bring to a stop this exportation of lumber," he concluded. Neill Bailey returned Tufts from Deming, New Mexico, short visit to his folks here. He is employed as telegraph operator and coupon agent for Southern Pacific at Dept. where the lines of that road those of the Santa Fe. Do at one time bore the reputation of being the toughest town in country. Just to see how worked himself, Neill thrashed obstreperous bully, several his size, some time ago, who been looking for a fight and rorizing small men, women children. The effect of the late winters was to thoroughly irradiate the ranches of W. M. McFaul and J. B. Pierce, benefitting to the value of $9000. MARCH 13, 1896 When we wrote the item week detailing the report there were no apple trees had in the nurseries of the neighborhood, we did so in the conviction that amends have to be made to Tim Carr whose evergreen nurseries made him a reputation grower of trees true to name free from scale—far and Tim informs us that the season he had destroyed sands upon thousands of trees that were slow of sale he tells us he has yet a yard of them and would be please have a call from those who sire to purchase. Anaheim was particularly oared by the weatherman Su TELEGRAPH OBSOLETE The cost of telegraphing 300 words from Washington to San Francisco is about $32. You can telephone 300 words across for a little more than $3. And you can send an air-mail letter across the country a great deal cheaper than you can use the telephone. There is a rumor going around that the Western Union may ask the government to take over the telegraph. Schools to Fight Federal Ruling In Segregation Following a conference with County Counsel Joel Ogle, administrators and trustees of four school districts of Orange county announced that they will appeal to higher courts an injunction issued by Federal Judge Paul J. McCormick in Los Angeles district court against segregation of Mexican pupils. Judge McCormick held that such action is a violation of the 14th constitutional amendment, guaranteeing equal rights for all persons in the United States. He held that requiring Mexican children to attend separate schools retards them and "suggests inferiority where none exists." The schools concerned are Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Westminster and El Modena. They contend segregation is necessary because of learning ability of the children. Parents of chillren in the various schools brought the action. Sgt. V. L. Frederick Home from Service Sergeant Vernon L. Frederick, 318 S. Clementine street, this city, received his honorable discharge from the army, December 24, at the Fort MacArthur separation center, after serving his country since October 21, 1942. Attached to the 738th Military Police company, Frederick participated in major battles in New Guinea, the southern Philippines, and Luzon, beginning April 9, 1943. He has been awarded the American Campaign medal, Asiatic Pacific campaign medal, Philippine Liberation ribbon, Good Conduct medal, and World War II Victory medal. George Stein, itinerant mendicant arrested by police on East Center street Feb. 19, who was found to have $441 in his possession when searched at police headquarters, changed his plea to "guilty," when brought to trial before Judge Frank Tausch in city court yesterday morning. He was fined $25, which he paid. Stein had pleaded "not guilty" and posted cash bond of $50 when booked at police headquarters, following his arrest. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago MARCH 11, 1871 Here is a project on foot to the board of supervisors eschew a county road to Anaheim镇. We respectfully suggest the route of said road out of Anaheim be laid along the line seen sections 9 and 16 to theley tract, and from thence to the highest ground, on either the north or east lines ofon 14 and thence on the available route to theing. The route would pass thickest part of the environs, while it would benefit a large element of inhabitants would in every way as near and as noticeable as another. The following shipments were due to San Francisco this week: wines of wine, three puncheons, two barrels wine, one keg, 1½ bbls. eggs, 22 dry hides, bundles skins, 15 sacks beans. D. Polhemus and Ed Polheham have dissolved partnership with hardware business. The necessity will hereafter be conceded by H. D. Polhemus. We acknowledge a pleasant call on the sheriff of Alameda county, Harry N. Morse. Harry caught rascal he was after at Los Angeles and continued on to Anaheim to visit his old-time friends, in Hanna and L. W. Kirby. Old anyone in Alameda counties to know the quality of them wine and its effect in minutes upon the human sys-we refer them to Harry Rose. they should be willing to accept and hold any of the offices tendered them. It is a startling fact that, while these owners of the city repose at night in quietude at their vineyard homes, scenes of rowdyism, knavery, black-guardism and immorality hold high revel at the business center. It does not become a city to continue in this state of affairs. I insist upon it that your city be quiet, orderly, honest and well governed. We have received the following notice relative to certain stray animals. Our readers will please heed the same.

Anaheim is the home of a poet who bids fair to become famous some day. One of our fair daughters received a bouquet from him a day or two ago, accompanied by the following beautiful and touching lines: "Accept this bokay from a feller, Who oft has heard the cannon beller; And helped to do a lot of shoot-in'; Has seen the war-cloud dark arise, Like fifty buzzards when they" High Prices for Land Retarding Building, Belief High prices being demanded here for prospective building sites may drive future construction elsewhere. Especially does that apply to medium-priced homes. Such is the concensus of persons generally considered "in on the know" of real estate and construction trends. Philip Norton, construction firm partner, speaking before a recent meeting of the Santa Ana Board of Realtors, warned that future building activity will depend on availability of reasonably-priced lots, and suggested that a corporation of public-spirited citizens be formed to develop subdivisions in their various communities at reasonable profit, but without exorbitant prices. WE, OR UNCLE SAM He warned that one of the greatest needs of Orange county, as of the remainder of the country, is low-priced homes for returned servicemen and others of lower income brackets. If private enterprise does not provide those homes, he warned, the government must do so, "and we all will join in paying the cost, through added taxes." Announcement in Washington that government construction, involving materials critical in relieving the national housing shortage, will be curtailed, was received here as indication that such relief soon may be felt in Anaheim. City officials and chamber of commerce representatives have been advised that materials for Two Local Men Record $150,000 Citrus Transfer Two Anaheim men figured in transfers of two orange groves in this totalling 37 acres, which led to set a new high for citrus land deals, with said to be involved.

Morse, Harry caught a rascal he was after at Los Angeles and continued on to Anaheim to visit his old-time friends, Hanna and L. W. Kirby. Would anyone in Alameda counties know the quality of him wine and its effect in minutes upon the human system we refer them to, Harry. Speaking of the coming city action the editor suggests that original vineyardists should be the lead in making nominations of the city officers and that who bids fair to become famous some day. One of our fair daughters received a bouquet from film a day or two ago, accompanied by the following beautiful and touching lines: "Accept this bokay from a feller, Who oft has heard the cannon beller; And helped to do a lot of shootin'; Has seen the war-cloud dark arise, Like fifty buzzards when they flies; Who is much bigger than his dad And wants to marry mighty bad." 50 Years Ago MARCH 13, 1896 When we wrote the item last detailing the report that we were no apple trees to be in the nurseries of the neighborhood, we did so in the firm conviction that amends would be made to Tim Carroll, one evergreen nursery have him a reputation as a leader of trees true to name and from scale—far and wide. We informs us that the past month he had destroyed thousands upon thousands of apple trees that were slow of sale, but sells us he has yet a yard full them and would be pleased to be a call from those who desire to purchase. Neill Bailey returned Tuesday on Deming, New Mexico, on a visit to his folks here. Neill employed as telegraph operator and coupon agent for the Southern Pacific at Deming, where the lines of that road cross the Santa Fe. Deming one time bore the reputation being the toughest town in the city. Just to see how it looked himself, Neill thrashed an irreperous bully, several times size, some time ago, who had been looking for a fight and terrifying small men, women and children. The effect of the late waterfall was to thoroughly irrigate branches of W. M. McFadden J. B. Pierce, benefitting them one value of $9000. Forbes Sandilands was in form his Placentia ranch on Monday in company of his brother L. H.

Mrs. Frank Shaney has arrived from Pittsburgh and joined her husband at their comfortable residence on Lemon street. Returns from the carload of oranges shipped by the Placentia association to Jacksonville, Florida, have been received, showing the fruit sold for fancy prices, as high as $2.80 being received for fancy. This is like shipping coal to New Castle—and at good prices too. All the city officials were nominated at the caucus on Saturday evening except Trustee McWilliams. Messrs Rust and C. E. Groat were nominated for city trustee, N. F. Sleadman was named for marshal, Max Nebelung for clerk and Mons. Caheu for treasurer. What do the outsiders say to increasing the city limits? Now that the trustees are discussing the lighting system, those who want light outside the limits may be given a chance to vote on the question of coming in.
