COLONY QUIPS The great festival of the Christian faith, Easter, is celebrated on Sunday and every church in town will have special services and decorations. The ancients celebrated the budding out of all growing things at this time of the year. The Jews call it their Passover and celebrate it as their release from bondage in Egypt and the start of their journey to the Promised Land. Jesus and His disciples went to Jerusalem for the Last Supper which was to them the celebration of the Passover. He served them the traditional unleavened bread and wine of the Passover which later became the Christian Communion. Easter has always been the time for the renewal of hope, for introspection of the human mind and for the effort of mankind to better itself. Man wants freedom. Have we not just fought a terrible war for this very end? We want political freedom. We want some measure of economic freedom, not so the lazy can live off of the industrious, but enough so children will not starve and a man can be assured of his labor returning him a living. We want freedom of thought and conscience in order to worship and think as we please. Until these are assured mankind will not have true freedom. In this connection we wish to put in a quotation by Benjamin Franklin, which is self-explanatory: "Men will be ruled by God or by tryants." City Awarded Six Housing Units By Government It was announced Wednesday by the city engineer that Anaheim had been awarded six units by the Federal Housing Authority. The units will be built as one multiple apartment house of which the size is as yet unknown. The building will be located at North Olive and La Palma streets with construction beginning, it is hoped, about April 29. The city had sent in its request for those units as one bedroom apartments two weeks ago. However what the size established in the management plan will be, is unknown as yet. The city engineer’s office had advised the Los Angeles offices of the housing authority that they had a total building capacity for a 126-foot long building. The deal has not yet been made official as the contracts have not been drawn up, but the city hopes to complete arrangements in sufficient time. Coast Guard to Hold Reunion All members of the Coast Guard Company I, Division Auxiliary, will hold a reunion the Anaheim Elks club Thursday, April 25, at 8 o'clock in the evening. Commander Striker, Balboa Island, and Raymond, executive officer, be in charge of all arrangements. The evening will feature a dinner and program for all members of the Coast Guard, a temporary Reserve who served ing the late war. A new 50-ft. boat has reeled been assigned to the Coast Guard at Newport Beach for a rescue work. Plans for the eration of the new ship one hour 7 day schedule will be ed over at the meeting. Coast Guard hopes to have of the Temporary Reservist turn to duty and take over operation and maintenance of new service. Plans for a to Catalina will also be disc at next Thursday's dinner. One interested may get further tails from the executive or Al Raymond, by phoning heim 2248. dustrious, but enough so children will not starve and a man can be assured of his labor returning him a living. We want freedom of thought and conscience in order to worship and think as we please. Until these are assured mankind will not have true freedom. In this connection we wish to put in a quotation by Benjamin Franklin, which is self-explanatory: "Men will be ruled by God or by tryants." We urge everyone to attend the church of his choice on this Easter Sunday. Look your God squarely in the eye and resolve to try to make yourself a better man, and to live so your neighbor might enjoy a fuller and better life. Follow the teaching of the great Jesus who taught that, "Thou should love thy neighbor as thyself." Go to your church and pray, not alone for yourself, but for him who might differ a bit with you, and also recognize some of your own shortcomings. Get into the spirit of the great festival of the re-birth of hope and feel within yourself the urge that the Almighty gives to trees and plants. Remember the scriptural admonition: "Faith without works is dead." So go to your church and let Easter become part of you. One of the most significant and encouraging aftermaths of the late war is the ambition of so many ex-GI's to further their education before getting into the maelstrom of life and business. The advantages of learning a trade or profession were never before so obvious and these boys figure to get in on the tide that has, through the years, made the great strides of industry and science possible. This eagerness with which our vteerans are seeking a higher education is creating a critical situation in our institutions of higher learning. Emergency measures are going on in all of them to try to take care of the increased student load. Many, of course, will not be able to attend the school of their choice or any other for that matter, but the urge is there. And it all adds up to a better educated America. There seems to be no shortage of automobiles in the "hot rod" class. The highway patrol had to step in and forcibly stop an impromptu race scheduled for last weekend in the Bolsa area. Seems to us that with the shortage of parts, tires and other things need- for those units as one bedroom apartments two weeks ago. However what the size established in the management plan will be, is unknown as yet. The city engineer's office had advised the Los Angeles offices of the housing authority that they had a total building capacity for a 126-foot long building. The deal has not yet been made official as the contracts have not been drawn up, but the city hopes to complete arrangements in sufficient time to begin construction by April 29. The building will be a prefabricated structure shipped by panels. The units will be on a rental basis price as yet undetermined, the profits of which will accrue to the federal government. The city in all probability will be left in the red, and will have to apply to the state for aid. The Daily Brothers of San Francisco have been contracted by the housing authority to erect the buildings. The units awarded thus far to the city by the government total 36. Local authoritative sources have stated that maximum building capacity of Anaheim is 350 homes, of which 86 will definitely be built by Nichols Realty company of Anaheim. Thirty-eight homes are slated to be built back of the high school at a sales cost of $10,-000 while 48 homes priced from $7750 to $10,000 will be in the district south of Santa Ana street and east of Olive street. None of the houses will be built facing the railroads tracks, as it is desired to segregate that district from the railroad districts. Additional housing districts are planned by other realtors. The payment will be on 20-year plan with monthly payments figured at 25 per cent of the family's total monthly income. This will range at an average of $40 per month for the average veteran. In 10 years at this rate the veteran will have paid half the amount of a $10,000 home, and it is reasonable to assume that in that length of time the price on that class of home will cut in half so the veteran will find that he has fulfilled his obligations. Said these authoritative sources, "rezoning of certain parts of town is definitely needed if we are to put to full advantage the building potentialities of this city. Building is impossible in the decadent parts of town, therefore operation of the new ship one hour 7 day schedule will be over at the meeting. Coast Guard hopes to have off of the Temporary Reservist turn to duty and take over operation and maintenance of new service. Plans for a Catalina will also be discussed at next Thursday's dinner. One interested may get further tails from the executive officer Al Raymond, by phoning heim 2248. Caltone Shows Great Increase The annual meeting of stockholders of Caltone Corporation was held Tuesday, April 1946, at the offices of the corporation on North Lemon street first order of business was election of a board of directors for ensuing year. The lowing were elected as director Joseph A. Allard, Jr., Charles Simon, James B. Rogers, Jo Drum and Merval D. Smile. Immediately after the stockers' meeting the new board called together and the fellow officers appointed: James B. ers, president; Charles R. S secretary; James C. Poole,urer; Joseph A. Allard, Jr., an ant secretary and treasurer. The corporation reported stockholders that sales had been in excess of $3,000. This figure showed an increase three times the total sales by Caltone in 1944. It was further reported that the Orange county payroll of the corporation was excess of $180,000. Stephenson Denies Purge Of Police Dept. H Mark Stephenson, new chief police, in an interview last day stated he was contemplating no drastic changes in the force. "There has been a rumor about town that I am going to disband a lot of men from the stated Stephenson." "That is true. I may shift some new positions but there work any great change in the organization." About former relief servant Decker, Stephenson said that was off the force completely. There seems to be no shortage of automobiles in the "hot rod" class. The highway patrol had to step in and forcibly stop an impromptu race scheduled for last weekend in the Bolsa area. Seems to us that with the shortage of parts, tires and other things needed to keep the family "buggy" in a safe operating condition that these "hot rods" are more of a menace now than ever before. The boys that drive them don't seem to have any fear. Perhaps age has something to do with it. We remember when the boys around here used to drive fast motorcycles. In those days a boy under 21 hardly knew what liquor tasted like and knew it didn't mix with gasoline. Today lots of them try to mix whisky and gasoline and find out the truth too late. A girl and a motor car are much alike. A good paint job conceals the years, but the lines tell the real story. With this new dark bread it now remains to be determined at what point we stop scraping the burnt toast. Missouri is the only state without a housing shortage. So many residents have gone to Washington to take a job under Truman. There are a few times when religion and politics mix—usually in the proportion of about 10 parts religion and 90 parts politics. Turning out ships and planes like matchsticks during the war was an easy job compared to that of turning out baby diapers and men's shirts during peace time. A drive is on in congress to discard the senility system and promote committeemen on merit. Antique lovers may be able to pick up a chairman or two in the confusion. Former Mayor of Orange Passes W. E. Clement, former mayor of the city of Orange, passed away unexpectedly at his ranch home near Garden Grove last Saturday night. He was 69 years old at the time of his passing. Born in Garden Grove, he had spent his entire life in Orange county. Mr. Clement was elected city treasurer of Orange in 1918 and served until 1922.

Sheridan Praised By Council It is not every city that can point with pride to one man serving on its council for a full 16 years and then retiring voluntarily. Leo Sheridan completed such a term of service on last Tuesday. For four consecutive city elections he was high man of those elected to serve the city. The council resolved on behalf of the officers, employees and citizens of Anaheim to extend the sincere thanks of a grateful city for his splendid record of achievement as a member of the council. This expression coming from a group of men with whom Leo Sheridan has worked and striven to achieve is doubly sure and true, for they were not always in agreement.

Pearson has been the mayor of Anaheim for six years beginning in 1940. He was first appointed to the council back in October, 1935, and has been reelected three times consecutively since then. In 1940, '42, '44 and '46 he was named mayor, and is now serving his fourth term as chief executive of Anaheim.

The readjustment compensation paid by the government provides the vacation, but the ever increasing housing problem and the obtaining of jobs remain a critical problem of the local communities. Illustrating the increasing rate of returning World War II veterans and the influx of veterans from other areas, the Fullerton office has reported a total of 2,628 Sheridan has worked and striven to achieve is doubly sure and true, for they were not always in agreement. This kind of praise is true indeed and the whole city knows the verity of it. F.B.I. Head Talks To Kiwanians The F. B. I. took the Anaheim Kiwanis club into its confidence at the Tuesday noon luncheon and told what is before the country and California in the coming years. Paul Bakenhus introduced W. A. "Bill" Murphy, head of the F. B. I. office in San Diego as the speaker of the day. The territory handled by the San Diego office includes the four southern counties and the Mexican border of California. The speaker told of coming to the F. B. I. in 1936 when it had a total budget of $3,000,000 and to illustrate the increase in crime the necessary budget in 1946 is $28,000,000. This last figure is, however, a cutback of $5,000,000 from the war-time peak. They are required by congress to maintain the crime statistics and a fingerprint bureau in Washington. The crime increase in the last few years has been 33 per cent in the cities and 8 per cent in the country areas, the speaker stated. There are six million criminals at large today and they are the source of most of the crime, together with their converts who come largely from the age group of 18 to 35 with low physical, mental and moral standards, he explained. In this age group only one out of three was fit for military service. The speaker told that San Quentin and Folsom are now receiving around 250 new inmates a month and that only one out of five is a veteran. The conclusion naturally follows that converts to the old crime group come from the young men who did not qualify for military service. To cope with this rising wave of crime all law enforcement agencies are working together and their considered answer is better personnel. To develop better men these agencies are pooling their knowledge and working out new programs of training future officers. Rev. Earl Berg, who is leaving Calvary Baptist church for La Mesa soon, thanked the Kiwanians for a pleasant five years in the Pearson has been the mayor of Anaheim for six years beginning in 1940. He was first appointed to the council back in October, 1935, and has been reelected three times consecutively since then. In 1940, '42, '44 and '46 he was named mayor, and is now serving his fourth term as chief executive of Anaheim. The only other business which was conducted was the swearing in of the new councilmen, the canvassing of the votes, and declaring the results of the balloting official. The city council's membership now consists of Charles E. Pearson, mayor; Ray Van Wagoner, Oscar W. Heying, Robert H. Boney, and the newly-elected Clarence Pace. Library Crippled By Lack of Space Miss Elizabeth J. Calnon, librarian, recently expressed the need for expansion of the public library. She showed how the library has a far too small capacity in its stack room. She lamented the crowded condition of the children's library. There are a vast number of non-fictional books coming off the publications houses' presses each week, presenting new outlooks and discoveries in old fields and dealing with the staggering concept of the new atomic science, that must be given room on the shelves of the library, and can't be done at the present time without crowding older and still valuable books off the shelves. These must be given room in the library, and that can only be done through immediate increase of floor space of the stack rooms of both libraries. There have been no blueprints drawn up as yet, nor any speculation on the needed space. That depends on the increase of population that is possible in the next five to 10 years, and upon the present population of Anaheim. Another factor to be considered is the ability and the willingness to shoulder the burden of this new improvement of the intellectual offerings of the city to its people. So the problem is squarely up to the people and the city as to whether the educational facilities of this city's library are to continue its former high standards, or whether this city is going to fall far behind its sister cities in the struggle for intellectual States Employment Service office in Fullerton in a report issued this week. The readjustment compensation paid by the government provides the vacation, but the ever increasing housing problem and the obtaining of jobs remain a critical problem of the local communities. Illustrating the increasing rate of returning World War II veterans and the influx of veterans from other areas, the Fullerton office has reported a total of 2,628 contacts in January, 2,892 in February and 3,897 in March for a total of 9,417 for the first three months of this year. Among the sailors and soldiers back from the war who have recently registered at the office are: John A. Myers, Jesse W. Riddle, Harold E. Clasen, Fred E. Robinson, Tony and Don Tafolla and Donald J. Reoff, all of Anaheim; Arthur L. Martin and James McConkey of Buena Park; Phil Montana and Robert A. Moreno of Placentia, along with seven from Fullerton, five of Brea and one from La Habra. Local Boys Start Store in Laguna Bushard's Pharmacy formally started operations in Laguna last Saturday. Earl and Joe Bushard, two of Anaheim's own boys, opened one of the county's finest drug stores and from all reports were having a hard time tending to rush of customers. Featuring prescriptions, cosmetics and a modern fountain, reports from the beach city indicate the natives are pleased with the new store. Earl and Joe have been identified with the drug business in Anaheim for many years. Joe has just returned from the service. Their mother, Mrs. L. W. Bushard, lives in the family home on South Kroeger streets. All of their Anaheim friends wish the boys every success in their new venture.
