COLONY QUIPS The following comes under the heading of "Why the Editor Left Town" and comes to us from a valued subscriber: Somebody sent the editor of the Poketown Tribune a few bottles of home brew. The same day he received for publication a wedding announcement and a notice of an auction sale. Here are the results: "William Smith and Miss Lucy Anderson were disposed of at public auction at my farm, one mile east of a beautiful cluster of roses on her breast and two white calves before a background of farm implements too numerous to mention, in the presence of about seventy guests, including two milch cows, six mules and one bobsled. The Rev. Mr. Jackson tied the nuptial knot with 200 feet of hay rope, and the bridal couple left on one good gang plow for an extended trip, with terms to suit purchasers. They will be at home to their friends, with one good baby buggy and a few kitchen utensils after ten months from date of sale, to responsible parties and some fifty chickens." When your congressman notes your interest in the vast and sometimes incomprehensible UNRRA and takes the time to write you a detailed letter and send you one day's proceedings of the Congressional Record on the subject, which takes you four hours to absorb, you wonder how he finds time to so well post himself on so many vital issues about which his constituents can only have an inkling. When your congressman notes your interest in the vast and sometimes incomprehensible UNRRA and takes the time to write you a detailed letter and send you one day's proceedings of the Congressional Record on the subject, which takes you four hours to absorb, you wonder how he finds time to so well post himself on so many vital issues about which his constituents can only have an inkling. One thing a weekly newspaper man never will be able to understand is why 19 out of 20 holidays always manage to fall on Wednesday and Thursday. And the one which don't fall in the middle of the week come on Sunday, which is sometimes a day off for us anyhow. Isn't there such a thing as a Monday or Friday holiday? This week the press of California saw advertising history made. Doctors ponied up the money to advertise California Physicians Service in every paper in the state, and simultaneously launched a weekly radio drama for the same purpose. "If the medical profession is to survive," said John Hunton, executive secretary of the California Medical association, "we must let the people know that the best health care in the world is available here and now—under the voluntary system!" An age-old advertising jinx is broken, mayhap, by the home town doctor! While a hot contest is brewing, our operative reports that Assemblyman Sam L. Collins of Fullerton has a big edge to win that coveted spot—Speaker of the Assembly—when the state legislature reorganizes in January. And Senator Harold L. ("Butch") Powers of Eagleville looks like the new top man—President Pro Tem—in the Senate. Both men are GOP'ers. Uncle Sam's revenue collectors, our spy advises, have a list of all the big wagers won in the S. F. and L. A. betting marts on California's primary election—just in case anybody tries to skip his winnings in computing his income tax! You'll probably see your congressman around town this summer, no matter what's on the gridle back in Washington. Farm Head Says Case Bill Veto To Be Felt Here Charging presidential legislation now under consideration in Congress is both "inadequate" and temporary," H. T. Brewer, president of the Associated Farmers of Orange county, in a statement issued today, declared defeat of the Case labor bill will be felt "right here in Orange county." Terming legislation "under consideration in Congress is inadequate and temporary," Brewer asserted, "its effectiveness would be limited to one year at the most. If the Case bill is attached to as a rider, the Case bill would die with it at the end of the year." Declaring that it would be no coincidence that the measure would die just before the election season, Brewer said, "we need full-time legislation, not stop-gap measures. The outlawing of abusive labor tactics should be for all time, not temporary." Warning association members they should write their congressmen and senators, urging support of adequate, long-range legislation instead of hasty, "temporary" measures like those proposed by the administration" Brewer said losses from work stoppages would continue to mount "if we are inactive as voters." Wages and man-hours lost by non-strikers because of other stoppages cannot even be estimated, but the totals would be astronomical, he said. Nylon Sale Here Marked By Calm Milady got her nylons last Tuesday morning. At least some did. A queue over 300 strong, including young and old women and several young and old men lined up outside the J. C. Penny department store on Center street waiting for the firm's doors to open at 9:30 a.m. In 45 minutes the approximate 300 or so persons cleared as many pairs of 45 gauge nylon hose at $1.20 a pair from the shelves of the store and the quest for nylons ended. Attaches at the store could give no prediction as when the next shipment would arrive but then can you blame them for not giving out secrets. One woman, told that a nylon sale was in progress down the street, looked up and asked, "so what?" "Nothing," we replied, "but nylons sure make 'she-lions' out of some women." Uncle Sam's revenue collectors, our spy advises, have a list of all the big wagers won in the S. F. and L. A. betting marts on California's primary election—just in case anybody tries to skip his winnings in computing his income tax! You'll probably see your congressman around town this summer, no matter what's on the gridle back in Washington. Of this state's 23 congressional seats, 13 are still to be contested in November—and if Congress doesn't take a recess, the gentlemen with contests will take one anyway. Hoppy Harold Ickes nearly brought the world to an end the other day. In his column he said, "The pretense of infallibility assumed by most commentators has always irritated me... In my salutatory as a columnist I announced that if I ever made a mistake, I was going to admit it." This from Hal is a world-shaking statement, but the old globe really did shake when Ickes went on to admit that he had made a mistake. Of course, most of the rest of the column was devoted to explanation that it wasn't much of a mistake, and really not Harold's fault. In fact, by the time we reached the end of the column we were doggoned near convinced that the whole thing was a conspiracy on the part of the U. S. Navy to get poor old Harold in bad with himself.

Teacher Reverses Old Custom; Brings Pupils the "Apple" Thirty-three young fans of the George Washington elementary school lined up at the soda fountain at Jackson's Drug store on the corner of Emily and Center streets last Friday morning, each to receive an ice cream cone of any flavor, purchased by their teacher. Said Miss Aletha Macy, 201 East Broadway, teacher of the second grade school group: "I know this is a reversal of the old custom of the students bringing teacher an apple but this is their first lesson in public relations—buying something of their own across the counter. And then, they were such good children this term!" The ice-cream buying spree was a reward for the tiny second-graders as school closed last week. Army Vets Warned June 30 Too Late Army veterans with dependents, this week were warned they must re-enlist before June 30 to take advantage of dependency benefits under the current re-enlistment in grade program, army recruiting officials at Santa Ana said. After July 1, enlisted men must return to service within 20 days after discharge in order to retain their rating. Heading the brilliant array of three-year-olds slated to go postward in the $25,000 Cinemas Handicap over a 1 1/16 mile distance at Hollywood Park Saturday, June 22, is C. V. Whitney's Burra Sahib, recent winner of the $25,000 Will Rogers Handlecap at the Inglewood track, and one of the most promising colts now in training. Flier Narrowly Escapes Death A brush with a 11,000-volt power line made sparks fly but Justus Warner Critchfield, 50-year old pilot of 1211 E. Santa Ana street, miraculously escaped death last Saturday after the propellor of his plane snapped electric wires as he practiced dead-stick landings near Crescent and Western avenues. Sighting the death-laden wires when he was but 50 feet from them Critchfield opened the throttle of the plane and attempted to climb over the power lines but the propellor snapped the volt-loaded line and it wrapped around the propellor shaft. Unharmed Critchfield was able to bank the plane and successfully pilot it back to the Fullerton airport. The power line break cut off current to the Knott's Berry place, plunging it in darkness for several hours.

Anaheim Man Gets Probation On Arson Charge Ordered to pay $5 a month for two years, Jonas Clerk, 47, of 916 N. Lemon street, was placed on probation for 10 years when he appeared before Judge Kenneth E. Morrison in Santa Ana Superior court last week to answer a charge of arson. Clark attributed a fire he set at his home the result of a domestic quarrel. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Two other complaints filed last week by Dist. Atty. James L. Davis included a manslaughter complaint against Manuel Venegas Bracamonte and an assault with a deadly weapon charge against Joseph Lara Torres.
