COLONY QUIPS Henry Adams and Anaheim have been almost inseparable for these past many years. To start enumerating some of the things he has had a hand in for the upbidding of this community one would have to get ready to write a detailed history of the Mother Colony. Practically anything you want to mention that had a constructive place in bringing Anaheim to its present stature had the name of Henry Adams connected with it in some spot that counted. He was the first president of the Kiwanis club, a prominent Elk, Mason, Shriner and a pillar in the Episcopal church. He was a past president of our chamber of commerce when that job meant heading the California Valencia Orange show, one for the prime movers in the Community Industrial Land company which had a large place in bringing much of Anaheim's industry. A director in the Savings, Loan & Building association and an executive in the Gibbs Lumber company. He came over to Anaheim around the turn of the century as manager of the Griffith Lumber company, which a little later came to the Adams-Bowers Lumber company, then the Henry Adams Lumber company, which a few years ago merged with the Gibbs Lumber company, in which two friends and competitors, Frank Gibbs and Henry Adams, put their interests together and operated together. Henry Adams was a grower-member of the Anaheim Citrus association, president of the Nut- ger of the Griffith Lumber company, which a little later came to the Adams-Bowers Lumber company, then the Henry Adams Lumber company, which a few years ago merged with the Gibbs Lumber company, in which two friends and competitors, Frank Gibbs and Henry Adams, put their interests together and operated together. Henry Adams was a grower-member of the Anaheim Citrus association, president of the Nutwood Mutual Water company, a prime mover in the Kiwanis lodge at Idlywild and an active B. I. L. which is the men's auxiliary of the P. E. O., to mention a few more of this man's duties and interests. Always active, always sincere, always unselfish, Henry Adams was the ideal type of the American community builder. He was a loyal husband and father and leaves his wife, Katherine, two daughters, Katherine Adams and Mrs. Martha Grafton, one grandson. A sorrowing city joins with the bereaved family in the loss of one of our best citizens. Two of our well known ex-servicemen have come up against some of the pit-falls that beset civilians. Ted Sheridan and Gordon Morley, both just back in civilian life, needed a driver's license. Ted had been handling jeeps and other motorized equipment, not to mention his father's automobile before the war, for the Army the past many months. Gordon had been flying B-29's for the air force. The state motor vehicle department did not think this experience amounted to much. It sent both boys home with a slip to be signed by their parents before a driver's license could be issued. Getting careful, aren't they? By the way, these boys and many others, are old enough to go out and fight for their country but they are not yet mature enough to cast a ballot. That seems a bit funny or does it? Those seats of higher learning, the colleges and universities, of this state have fared badly in intersectional competition so far this year. SC and St. Mary's both had unhappy football experiences in bowl games and then came Cal's calamities at the hands of Oklahoma A. & M. Looks like the Oakies upheld their boast of taking California without killing a man or firing a shot. "in which manufacturers of clothing and other retail merchandise, are required to mark the retail price on their goods. This price is the 1942 price. But the manufacturer has been allowed in many cases to double and treble the cost to the retailer. Obviously no retail store can remain in business under a condition where its merchandise costs double what it did in 1942—and then pay greatly increased rent, and higher wages for employees—and still sell merchandise at the 1942 level." Other members of the merchants committee pointed out examples of clothing items which were on the market in 1942 with a retail price of 65 cents. New merchandise coming on the market will not allow the merchant to pay for the merchandise; pay rent, wages, take a profit and sell the item for 65 cents. On food items James R. Kilduff, who is in the retail meat business in the Greater Anaheim market, said that in general all of the local meat and food markets were selling at legal OPA prices. Mr. Kilduff said that the recent adjustment made in favor of the meat packers had been of some help in the food prices, but in the end had restricted the profit of the local retailer almost to the vanishing point. Meanwhile from the Los Angeles area offices of the OPA came the admission that almost half of Los Angeles restaurants are openly violating their posted meal prices. Some are merely charging more for standard meal items, while others have applied new names to old dishes and charge an excessive price for the "new" serving. In the building line the OPA offices announced that manufacturers of brick will be allowed to increase their prices by $2 per thousand over that charged in December of 1945. Higher prices have already been approved by the Los Angeles OPA for both beef and pork. The most startling of all of the announcements issued by the Los Angeles office of OPA was the statement that the cost of living had receded.

This new trend in the apparel petites of rats and mice has been discovered in the testing laboratories of the American institute of laundering. In statute member laundries serve in garments with buttons myteriously missing. How did happen, they wanted to know All the buttons were case plastic—a byproduct of milk. The technical brains of the institute's laboratories in Jole Ill., tackled the knotty problem. The buttons appeared to have been gnawed down to nubbin by some strange agent. However, it was no until teeth marks were found on some half consumed button that American institute of laundering was able to return the verdict. The plastic fastener had been eaten away by rat and mice, who apparently like a little roughage in their diet. Crowded conditions in ramshackle dwellings, where returning servicemen have been driven by the shortage of real homes, were blamed for the recent increase in the rat-button damage. 20-30 Clubs to Have District Meeting Anaheim's 20-30 club plays hard to her sister clubs of 20-30 district 4 next Tuesday evening at 6:45. in the Elks club. Bru Cook, president of the local club will preside and welcome the visitors. Speaker of the evening will "Sky" Dunlap, co-publisher of the new Santa Ana Globe. Dunlake was formerly head of the Sacramento bureau of the United Press and become coming to Santa Ana was in charge of the United Press in Portland, Ore. A new potato harvesting machine digs, brushes, grades and boxes the potato in a continuous operation.

Looks like the Oakies upheld their boast of taking California without killing a man or firing a shot. Dim in history seem the days when athletes coached by Howard Jones, "Pop" Warner, Dean Cromwell and Dink Templeton lurrupted eastern boys by lop-sided scores with monotonous regularity. Of course, Dean Cromwell may show the rest of the country something in track later in the year. His team showed a thing or two in San Diego last Saturday and he didn't even use all of his talent. The Golden States is always optimistic anewway. District Attorney Fred W. Howser of Los Angeles is making a determined bid for the office of attorney general. Fred was formerly in the legislature and practicer law in Los Angeles county. His record is good, the Los Angeles Times to the contrary notwithstanding, and many people living in the city of the Angels say he might win at the primary in June. SOUTH DAKOTA PICNIC The spring picnic of the South Dakota Society will be presented in Bixby park, Long Beach, Sunday, April 28, according to Earl Rowley, president. The Long Beach municipal band will play from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., with Admiral Willsey, the speaker. All South Dakotans are invited. The most startling of all of the announcements issued by the Los Angeles office of OPA was the statement that the cost of living had receded.

The events scheduled are a part of the Anaheim participation in Public School week and will include programs to be presented by each of the grade schools and the high schools. The pinafore-frocked and marble-shooting segment of the Anaheim population have been busy for weeks under the direction of their instructors preparing such marvels for public display as the Mexican exhibit at the George Washington school. The exhibit, drawn, built, pasted, borrowed from parents and friends and even from their own collections, has been described as one of the most complete of its kind in California school work. Under the mild urging of teachers, the fourth-graders at the George Washington school, have prepared an exhibit on the history, arts and sciences of the republic south of the border, which many have suggested would be suitable for further display. V. O. Elliott, principal of the school, said tha'the unusual display was due in no small measure to the historical background of Anaheim, and credited as well the alert parents of the children who encouraged the youngsters to arrange the showing. Included in the arrangement for the Mexico exhibit are a number of drawings in color by members of the class which compare in execution and technique with the actual and highly lauded "primitive" drawings of Mexico. The George Washington school sparked by the fourth grade exhibit, completes the international exposition idea with displays in other rooms on Hawaii, Plone Life, the Post Office and The Home. The kindergarten class not to be excluded from the work of their elders, has prepared an exhibit of a church, complete with a cardboard organ and altar. The event, scheduled at the George Washington school on April 10, next, will open with a dinner sponsored by the Parent Teachers association. Adults will be guests at the dinner for a charge of 85 cents, with 50 cents for children. The program arranged for the Anaheim Union high school largely devoted to musical numbers as a part of the observance of the week, is scheduled for next Monday evening, April 8 at 7:30 p.m. The program will begin in the auditorium and will feature high school orchestra and GI clubs. Sandwiched in between the presentation of the music groups will be demonstrations by the student body government and by the mathematics department. Following the program the entire plant will be thrown open for it.

ARTHUR COONS Water Projects Under Scrutiny By Chamber Opposition to any substantial changes in the national reclamation law of 1902, insofar as these Dr. Arthur Coons Relates Mission to Combined Clubs A combined meeting of Anaheim's Rotary, Lions, and Kiwanis clubs was held Tuesday noon at the Elks club for the purpose of hearing one of the town's native sons, now president of Occidental college, Dr. Arthur G. Coons, speak on his recent trip to the Far East as a member and economic advisor of the American Reparations mission. Dr. Coons was introduced by Mayor Charles Pearson, a former classmate in the Anaheim schools and at Occidental, who first introduced the speaker's mother, Mrs. Mary Coons, who was the mayor's guest. The American Reparations mission was sent primarily to Japan to work out the rehabilitation of that defeated country and to see that some of the mistakes made in the first World war were not repeated so far as Japan was concerned. The speaker gave his word that Japan was really a defeated country with their cities bombed almost out of existence Twelve Hour Election Drought Tuesday, April 9, is election in Anaheim. William G. Bonelli, four trict member of the state of equalization, calls attention alcoholic beverage licensed the general public to sect of the alcoholic beverage act, forbidding the sale of holic beverages on election as follows: "Every on- or off-sale li- who sells, gives away or fur- any alcoholic beverage in election district or precinct county in the state where an tion is in progress, during hours when by law the po- required to be kept open fo ing, shall be guilty of a meanor." Hours for voting on April from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Merger, Water Weeds, Lights Before Council Following a procedure DR. ARTHUR COONS Water Projects Under Scrutiny By Chamber Opposition to any substantial changes in the national reclamation law of 1902, insofar as these would permit construction of economically unsound reclamation projects or allow loose interpretation of the basic principles of economic feasibility, repaying ability and local control was voiced at a San Francisco meeting of the state chamber of commerce's statewide water resources committee. The committee recommended that the state chamber's board of directors take action on this at its April 12 meeting in Los Angeles, it was announced today. Looking toward state operation and management of the Central Valley project, the committee instructed a subcommittee, headed by Sidney T. Harding, Berkeley, to prepare a report on procedure for early state participation in contractural negotiations with water users, and assumption of control of water and power features of the project after construction has been completed by the bureau of reclamation. Recommendation regarding the basic reclamation law followed a review of new interpretations by Ravmond Matthew, chief engineer, Colorado river board. He cited vagueness in some of the 1939 amendments to the act which could allow interpretations out of line with the original provisions, include "gross benefit" as a factor, and ignore ability to repay cost and interest on federal investment as a factor to be determined before construction. It was contended that unless these points are specifically enunciated, projects may be established with no chance of success, and their cost would become a burden on the rest of the nation. Lt. Gen. Raymond A. Wheeler, chief of engineers, U. S. Army, tanded the session, and briefly discussed the Army's flood control program and status of various California flood control projects listed in the war department civil functions bill. Carl F. Wente, San Francisco, chairman of the state-wide committee, presided. The American Reparations mission was sent primarily to Japan to work out the rehabilitation of that defeated country and to see that some of the mistakes made in the first World War were not repeated so far as Japan was concerned. The speaker gave his word that Japan was really a defeated country with their cities bombed almost out of existence and their war potential about three-quarters gone. He recounted the arguments of the mission in its effort to rehabilitate the Japanese people in a democratic and economic way and yet in a way in which they would no longer be a menace to the peace of the Far East or the world. American military men, Dr. Coons stated, had greatly changed their thinking about the Japanese in the months after the war. They no longer thought of Japan as a cow to be milked for reparations for that would entail feeding the cow and the experience with Germany after World War I was that the outflow of reparations hardly equaled the inflow of capital. America's Reparations mission decided that Japan's war potential would have to be broken to an extent that would make it impossible for her to make war but not to such an extent that she would become a drag upon the impoverished Far East or upon any of the other United Nations. With this in mind, Nippon's steel industry was cut from a war peak of some ten million tons to around two and a half million, all and more of which will be needed in the rebuilding of the bombed-out cities. Then the mission gave a searching glance at the chemical industry, grown out of all proportion in the race to get ready for war. This industry, however, could be converted to the manufacture of fertilizer which would stabilize Japan's agriculture to an extent where the islands, with their 78 million people, would become close to self-supporting. In other words, the speaker stated, Japan is the same general size as California and has about ten times the population, so must cultivate and heavily fertilize every available square foot of ground to gain subsistence. The American Reparations mission's objective was to hold a level of production in Japan that would keep the peace. The American group flew to China as far inland as Chunking and from there over to Manila reduced the speaker's mother, Mrs. Mary Coons, who was the mayor's guest.

Members of the city council are assured that the Colorado water served the pipe-and-cut customers in Anaheim ES taste good. Moreover, Edw. Russell, MD, the Orange county health officer, said that while there were a few odd chemicals and elements in the city water, there were none so potent to endanger public health. The list of chemicals found in fluid which runs in Anaheim pipes, in addition to water, includes silica, aluminum oxide, oxide, calcium bicarbonate, magnesium bicarbonate, sodium fluoride, magnesium sulphate, sodium sulphate, sodium carbamate, Dr. Russell, in his re-entry on the city water said that foreign elements were present in either minute quantities or "allowable" limits, for potable healthful drinking water. The official report on the water did not enlarge on the definition of "table" which means "drinkable"; usually a matter of taste. To the matter of taste, several those attending the council recalled the ancient Roquefort which translated said: "to taste, there can be no dis-" Other matters which came before the council meeting included transfer of $2500 from city is to speed the erection of any emergency housing units by La Palma park on city land, with federal funds.

Anaheim Students Play in Southern County Orchestra Three talented young musicians from Anaheim Union high school participated in the All-Southern California high school symphony orchestra's annual concert presented before an enthusiastic capacity audience, under the direction of Eric De Lamater at Ross Lee Laird, secretary; Clarence Pace, merchant, and J. D. Wilcox. Voters will place an "X" after three of the above. The only one of the above to appear on the ballot four years ago is Robert H. Boney. The other two were Leo J. Sheridan, who is not seeking re-election, and the late H. E. W. Barnes, who passed away while in office and was succeeded by Druggist Oscar W. Heying, who is now seeking re-election for the first time. Derril A. Graham, a returned war veteran, appears next on the list. He operates his dry cleaning business on West Center. Joe Kaska, who operates the Ritz Cleaners on East Center, is the next new entrant in the political area. Ross Lee Laird, former secretary of the chamber of commerce and now secretary of a local packing house, is putting on a determined campaign. Clarence Pace, another newcomer to politics is a longtime merchant operating on South Lemon street. J. D. Wilcox, who does not list his occupation on the ballot, has lived in Anaheim for some years and this is his first fling at politics. So far the city campaign has been very tame with no loud name calling. This seems to be typical all over the county as almost all other cities having municipal elections report that no bricks are being broken and no violent campaigns are being waged. Candidates say that the period ahead is one that requires a tremendous amount of work and that the pressure on the council will be heavy. Anaheim, the Gazette believes, is faced with a great many large problems, the two most pressing being off-street parking, and an adequate sewer system. We urge everyone to vote next Tuesday and also urge the voters to talk to the candidates on the two problems stated above. These problems are not political in their nature but they hold the key to Anaheim's future growth and prosperity. East Anaheim Votes Merger Setting the pattern for other additions to the city, voters within a special election area to the east of the city voted on Thursday last to become a part of the Anaheim Students Play in Southern County Orchestra Three talented young musicians from Anaheim Union high school participated in the All-Southern California high school symphony orchestra's annual concert presented before an enthusiastic capacity audience, under the direction of Eric De Lamater, at the Old Lobero theater in Santa Barbara last Monday evening at 8:15 o'clock. Virginia Casey of Anaheim, first violinist, had the honor of being chosen concert mistress, from the group of county representatives. The two other AUHS artists were Doris Essary, violin, and James, Friis, drum. Bill Cook, music director of Anaheim high, accompanied the local musicians of their three day trip. With several other instructors he assisted with try-outs and rehearsals Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Soloists featured included Barbara Brown of Pasadena, violin soloists, presenting the First Movement of the Mendelssohn Concerto and Marcia Mckee of Bakersfield, pianist, interpreting the First and Second Movements of the Liszt Concerto. Under the baton of Lemarter, who is also the conductor of the junior symphony orchestra of Los Angeles, the versatile group played Rameau's arrangement of D'Ardany's Suite. The following numbers included brilliant interpretations of the "Adagio Pathetique" by Godard, the famous First Symphony by Brahams, "Valse de Concerto by Glazawnoff and the beautiful piano concerto," "Cortege de Noces" by Rimsky-Korsakoff. Some of the hit tunes sound like misses. East Anaheim Votes Merger Setting the pattern for other additions to the city, voters within a special election area to the east of the city voted on Thursday last to become a part of the city. The vote was 73 to 30 in favor of annexation. The election brought to a close the first stage of the annexation move, with the next step ordinance b ythe city council of Anaheim sealing the merger. The election results and the ordinance will later be forwarded to the Secretary of state in Sacramento. Results of the election will bring city water for both domestic and fire use to the newly acquired area, plus other city services. Coming Events for YMCA Club Announcement has been made of two especially interesting meetings for YMCA groups, the first of these being a meeting of Junior Hi-Y clubs Friday evening in the Little Theater at the high school building beginning at 7 p.m. Cecil Bernard, who lived in the Hawaiian islands for nine years, will show colored slides of life among the natives of that country and how the different races of people live together. Another moving picture of interest to be shown at the meeting is the work of the YMCA organization in South America. The second event is the staff meeting of the YMCA to meet at Alhambra on Saturday when the chapters will meet for a program planning session, laying plans to do with inter-association meetings in the future.
