City Sports In The News Tuesday, Anaheim played against luck in their conference game against Fullerton on the Santa Ana diamond. Pannier made two errors, of which one was responsible for a Fullerton run; Albin made two misses, and Coen muffed one. In the outfield, Hurtado let one go right through him for a double. Dave Hernandez, as usual, turned in a matchless performance in the right side of the diamond, but couldn't seem to connect with one at the plate except for one bounding ground ball down to third that should have been an out, but was badly handled by both the third baseman and the number 3 man. Dave went down, swinging, on one, and was called out the first time at the plate. The Colonist pitcher, Art Bielefeld, failed to get the support from his infield that he should, though he was touched for 13 safeties, six of the other one-trippers were credited to errors. In the fourth inning he unavoidably allowed the Indians to bat Bielefeld out of the ball park before they were finally retired. Rex Bohannon turned in the sweetest job on the mound in the season so far, allowing only five hits, three of which were on errors and an overthrow. The Indian infield gave their moundsman fine support, fouling up only four times. Anaheim made three hits, no runs and collected seven errors. Fullerton scored 11 hits, eight runs and three errors. Score by innings: Fullerton .....001 340—8 Anaheim .....000 000—0 If the softball fans are interested in a good fast game, watch the Orange County Night Ball league when it rolls into action Good Old May Day Is Spring Fever Day May Day is a nice holiday, comfortable as an old shoe. Many other holidays are occasions for serious reflection, high purpose, and inspirational oratory. We need them. But also we need May Day, when gay little girls are Queens of the May, and poets scribble odes to blue skies and red-breasted robins and flower-flecked meadows. No one could be mean enough to tell our spring poets, on benign May Day, that most of their stuff is pretty terrible. They are such joyous fellows! Only sour-pusses haven't liked May Day. When Oliver Cromwell's dour Roundheads ruled England, they forbad May poles. But in 1661, after the Restoration, a May pole 134 feet high was set up in London, and everybody danced and sang and some of the people (we regret to report) overindulged in the nut-brown ale and had splitting headaches next day. But they had so much fun they danced around that same pole every year till 1717, when Sir Isaac Newton bought it and moved it to Essex as a support for his great telescope. Puritans over here didn't like May poles either. In 1660, Governor Endicott of Massachusetts, shocked at hearing of a May pole, personally led a company of men who chopped it down. Old Samuel Pepys' wife used to go to the country on May Day to wash her face in dew just as the sun rose. Pepys wrote that she thought this good for her complexion. He didn't record what he thought, but he always wanted the "fond, foolish creature" to be happy. In modern Europe, May Day has become a day for demonstrations by extreme radicals. They stir up riots, heave an occasional bomb, and heads are cracked. But has often been prevented from doing so by restrictions imposed by the U.S. government. "No one will need to fear sugar shortage, even in war-time," said a recent statement by the Council, "if the sugar trade bitesween the United States and Cuba were put on a sounder basis." U. S. government figures show that Cuba supplied almost 60 percent of the total sugar made available to the United States and the allies in World War I and over half the supply made available in World War II. Cuba has maintained throughout the years its high sugar production record when other suppliers of the U.S. market, for one reason or another, have been unable to do so. Cuba, according to official figures at Washington, can produce sugar at a lower cost than any other major U.S. grower. Cuba has demonstrated both the capacity and the willingness to ship adequate supply of sugar to U.S. consumers. Sugar-hungry Americans serve their own best interests insisting that low-cost Cuban sugar reaches their dining tables and the plants which use sugar for many other kinds of food stuffs. New V-5 Plan Requirements Set By Navy A V-5 Naval aviation pilot training program is again open for enlistments in the fifth revised post-war class, Comma der Keith F. James, director naval officer procurement, Los Angeles, recently announced. The only existing program currently in the Navy, this V-5 plan offers qualified candidates education which includes up to four semesters of college, the first aviation training obtainable and leads to a commission as an sign in the United States Navy or second lieutenant in the M.M. dian infield gave their moundsman fine support, fouling up only four times. Anaheim made three hits, no runs and collected seven errors. Fullerton scored 11 hits, eight runs and three errors. Score by innings: Fullerton .....001 340—8 Anaheim .....000 000—0 If the softball fans are interested in a good fast game, watch the Orange County Night Ball league when it rolls into action this coming May 13. The league is the oldest in the county, and has always been known for its fast and furious brand of ball. Vic Ruedy is the advisor of the league. The old circuit went out of action during the war years due to the loss of so many of its vital players, and in order to conserve car fuel and tires. Now, most of the boys are back from the service and ready to put the old life back in the league that so many Orange countians grew accustomed to in the many years before the war. The member teams are Buena Park, Brea, Placentia, Yorba Linda, Garden Grove, Cypress, Olive and La Habra. The league also advises that all who know the game and wish a part in the league of Orange county, that the circuit is taking applications as umpires from interested parties. Those interested should contact Ben Agajanian, proprietor of Aggies Sport shop, at his establishment at 265 East Center or phone him at the same address. The Sunset league Tuesday was turned upside down again. Anaheim suffered a disastrous 8-0 loss to Fullerton, placing that team at the top of the heap, and dropping Anaheim from a tie for first with Fullerton in the third slot, Santa Ana battled to a 4-3 win over the cellar dwelling Huntington Beach Oilers to rise to a second-place tie with Orange. Orange benefitted from a smashing 12-0 victory over Newport. Latest prognostications by Orange county predictors placed Fullerton and Orange battling it out for the league pennant, with odds slightly in favor of the Black Panther from over Orange way. Anaheim was given an outside chance to stagger into possession of this year's crown. Santa Ana was given the fourth-place position all to itself, while Newport Harbor and Huntington Beach were favored to finish in that it down. Old Samuel Pepys' wife used to go to the country on May Day to wash her face in dew just as the sun rose. Pepys wrote that she thought this good for her complexion. He didn't record what he thought, but he always wanted the "fond, foolish creature" to be happy. In modern Europe, May Day has become a day for demonstrations by extreme radicals. They stir up riots, heave an occasional bomb, and heads are cracked. But that's just their way of having fun. An anarchist who can't riot on May Day feels as frustrated as a poet who can't rhyme out a sonnet. Let every man celebrate in his own way, say we. For us, May Day is spring fever day. Our May pole has a reel attached; and if we don't answer our phone that day—well, who ever heard of a phone ringing by a trout stream? "WHY CAN'T WE HAVE SOME SUGAR?" Housewives throughout this country, as well as industrial users of sugar like the bakers, confectioners, canners, ice cream manufacturers and others, would like to know why they "can't have sugar." The war has been over for months and sugar is still scarce, still rationed. Why? What are the facts of the sugar shortage? Sugar is a major and vital part of this country's diet, particularly those in the low income brackets. Sugar is the least expensive of all the basic foods. It is highest in energy value. Housewives and the industrial users want an adequate supply of sugar at all times at a reasonable price. There doesn't seem to be any doubt about that. Cuba, the largest sugar producer in the world, has been prepared to make available just such an adequate supply, according to the United States Cuban Sugar Council in New York City, but open for enlistments in the film revised post-war class. Commander Keith F. James, director naval officer procurement, Los Angeles, recently announced. The only existing program current in the Navy, this V-5 plan offers qualified candidates education which includes up to four semesters of college, the first aviation training obtainable and leads to a commission as eighth sign in the United States Naval or second lieutenant in the Marine corps. Men enlisting now report to accredited United States college university or junior college at the beginning of the 1946 fall semester. Each candidate has the privilege of choosing the institution he wishes to attend. While a student, he is in the Navy on inadequate duty, he may wear civilian apparel and is on the same basis with civilian students, all with tuition prepaid by the Navy plus $25 every month. Traveling expenses are also paid by the Navy. Candidates must also be between the ages of 17 to 20½ with one year of college of work completed, or high school graduate between the ages of 17 to 19. Another phase of the program opens to men between the ages of 18 to 23 who have completed two years of college work. They must enlist as aviation cadets and receive $75 a month plus for maintenance, reporting for elementary flight training at a Naval air station.

Warren Asks Congress Speed Insurance Law Governor Warren today announced he had requested prompt action on the part of congress to enable California to start payment of disability insurance as soon as possible by drawing on an employee contribution fund estimated at $100,000,000. In a letter to all members of congress from California, the governor called attention to the recently enacted disability insurance law adopted by the California legislature, and pointed out payments can start as soon as congress authorizes any state to withdraw employee contributions to the unemployment insurance fund for use in payment of disability benefits. The governor's action followed a report from James G. Bryant, chairman of the California Employment Stabilization Commission, that the Social Security Board has no authority to allocate funds for payment of disability insurance, and that congressional action for commencement of payments after May 21, 1946 when the disability insurance law goes into effect, is necessary. Unless congress takes such action, payments will be held up until May, 1947, a year after the effective date of the act. Walter R. Cram In Air Corps Base Pvt. Walter R.
