COLONY QUIPS Taking a vacation and writing a colony will not mix any better than oil and water unless you can get ahold of the scissors and paste pot without reaching too far. Of course, one must keep the old fingers from shaking and the heart from beating too fast. (What was that we heard about not having a heart). The anticipation surely does raise the blood pressure especially if the time off does not come very often. That is the beauty of writing about things, no one can make cracks at you until it is printed and then it is too late to do any good—all that can be done then is to make the writer feel bad. In the case of a vacation just try and make us feel bad. When we get back we will probably feel bad enough anyway. We can always start harping on the sewer situation. Please pass the paste pot. "A woman's mind," says Everett "Abe" Cone, local Chevrolet dealer, "is as uncertain as the delivery date on a new automobile." When a man suddenly announces out of a clear sky that he is Napoleon, he is usually rushed to the bughouse. Except when people believe him, in which case he becomes a dictator or a senator from Mississippi. As we judge Congressman May's present position, he does not want to come too close to the Mead committee, because it may still be radioactive. "Biting the hand that feeds" C of C Okays Xmas Plans For Streets Plans for having street decorations during the Christmas holidays were approved unanimously at a meeting of the retail division of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at Mother's Kitchen last Tuesday morning. Present plans call for decoration of Center street from Olive street west to Helena street, and of Los Angeles street from Broadway north to Cypress. Negotiations for the decorations are now under way, according to Mrs. William Trockstad, co-chairman of the Christmas decoration committee. In a talk, given by Mrs. Trockstad, she declared that the decorations should be up by the first week in December, and she supplemented her statements with a colored sketch of the streets as they will look in their Christmas garb. Her estimates on the cost for each merchant is $1.50 per front foot.

Cooperating with the army, this project is the Veterans' ministration and the attorney general's office. They're been provided with lists of ex-POW's have been requested to give descriptions, and they have been briefed in the procedure for taking evidenciary statements. The crimes branch of the civil affairs division will act as the coordinator in agency for the informa gathered.

"Biting the hand that feeds them" is the chief national sport in Yugoslavia this season, and a good many on our own public payrolls seem to be taking it up. Huntington Beach proudly announces the appointment of Dick Miller to the staff of Sports Digest. His first article on angling is featured in the August issue under the title of "Dick Miller's Fishing Forum." The introduction to his first column reads as follows: "Setting six world records and winning fifteen national championships in a mere matter of seven years is nothing to fly and bait caster Dick Miller of Huntington Beach, Calif. This brown-haired, brown-eyed master of the line and rod walks off with championships with—literally—a flock of the wrist—and what's more, to further prove his versatility, Champ Miller casts distance plug events left-handed and the fly games right-handed. We welcome this expert and authority to the staff of Sports Digest." It is now estimated that Hitler murdered 6 of the 8 million Jews in Europe, a tragic commentary on man's inhumanity to man. The trouble with the many of our reformers and planners is that they think human nature can be regulated by a slide rule. It will help a lot if the revived OPA will place a ceiling on federal taxing and spending. It's called a "down payment" because it gets poor father down, and then the instalments keep him there.

Phillips To Tell Doings in Capitol At Public Meeting Congressman John Phillips revealed the doings in Washington during the recently-concluded record-length 79th session of Congress at a public program scheduled for September 4 at 8:00 p.m. at the Santa Ana Ebell clubhouse according to invitations where were issued today. New chairman of the Oregon County Republican Central Committee, Mrs. Lella Eastman, sued the public invitations said that Phillips agreed to cuss Washington affairs in his trial "report to the people" upon his return from the capitol. Phillips will meet at noon at the Santa Ana Kiwanis members and their invited guest at a banquet at Santa Ana Sonic Temple, but this is not public program. He will meet representatives at a conference question hour at 2:00 p.m., later that afternoon will go session with the Republicion council committee. Both of these conferences will take place at campaign committee headquarters 116 North Sycamore street, San Ana. Anaheim G. O.

When you find a girl who "knows all the answers," make up your mind that she has been traveling with lads who ask all the questions. One optimist tells us the time is coming when "people will do only mental work." That ought to make for record-breaking unemployment! It's all right to have a friend in need—provided he doesn't need too much. A man is never so weak as when some women is telling him how strong he is. Beware the woman who likes to tell you how many doctors have given her up. The chances are they were beauty doctors. Worry is what you sometimes read between the lines on a person's face. You won't have much luck trying to climb a ladder with your hands in your pockets. If what you did yesterday still looks big to you, you haven't done much today. Be sure and see "Bells of San Gabriel," drama of the mission days, which is playing in Mission Bowl, San Gabriel every Friday and Saturday night. It is not difficult to imagine the ardor of Count Rezenoff nor the enthusiasm of the American pioneer for California's lovely senoritas when he sees Betty Ramirez and Madeleine Lifur, exotic ballerinas of the Fiesta, or Norma Dana of the golden voice. Plumbers "Not Available" For Vet Project Lack of Anaheim plumbers to install the plumbing for the 36-unit veterans' emergency project on North Olive street is the crisis which now threatens to cause a delay of an indefinite period. In a letter to E. P. Hapgood, city engineer, Daley Brothers, general contractors, stated that despite material shortages, the project could be completed by September 1, if the services of plumbers could be found. A union construction job, $2.00 an hour, is being offered to the plumbers, 12 cents an hour above union scale for journeymen plumbers, it was revealed by Walter F. Maxwell, traveling secretary for Daley Brothers. Men would work five days, 45 hours a week, with regular overtime pay for overtime work. However, local master plumbers state that they can get $2.75 per hour on regular jobs and that their assistants are rushed with back orders. Several of the Anaheim officials connected with the emergency housing program expressed the following opinion: "It seems strange in a housing project for local veterans and their families, that it has to be necessary to look for plumbers to finish it outside of Anaheim." There are sufficient bathhouses at Jones Beach, Long Island, N.Y., to accommodate for surf bathing more than the entire population of Emporia, Kans. ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1946 Ex-Prisoners of Traps Asked to Give Statements The war crimes branch of the affairs division announced a nation-wide campaign has started to contact 2,661 former American prisoners of the Japanese in order to secure depositions concerning atrocities for use evidence at the war crimes in Tokyo. Operating with the army in project is the Veterans' Administration and the attorney general's office. They're been pro-act with lists of ex-POW's who have been requested to give depositions, and they have been briefed on the procedure for taking enclary statements. The war crimes branch of the civil affairs division will act as the coordination agency for the information needed. Each former POW has been sent a request for his statements, urging him to visit either a federal attorney's office, or a Vet's Administration office, withresses of these offices included in the letter. First, each POW was asked out a questionnaire immediately following his release, in Burned Liquor Store To Re-Open Within a Month Don Franks, owner of the Mother Colony liquor store on 247 West Center street which came very close to becoming a complete wreck during the fire of August 19, announced yesterday that he'll re-open within several weeks. Both the liquor store and the Mother Colony House restaurant next door, also owned by Franks, are closed for now and are undergoing complete repairs and a general clean-up. "Some of the materials are pretty scarce," said Franks, "and as long as we can get them, repair work will go on. I can't say definitely how long it will take; maybe three weeks, maybe a month. Everything depends on how fast we can get building materials and new supplies." The blaze was estimated to have destroyed some $40,000 worth of merchandise and property. Smoke and water damaged the Mother Colony House restaurant which is located next to the liquor store. When asked for a statement Twenty Prizes Given In Big Model Meet More than three hundred people attended the model building contest held at Aggie's Sport and Hobby shop last Saturday, with over fifty entries submitted and twenty handsome awards made. Outstanding among all the entries was a handsome model of a cutty shark boat, constructed by an Anaheim boy, Ray Smale, who is only 15 years old, proving that age doesn't make the slightest difference when it comes to building a winning model. Robert Lamb, 24, of Anaheim, took 1st prize with a self-designed torpedo bomber, gas powered and capable of flying. Second prize was taken by Tom Wright, 16, also of Anaheim, with his gas-powered model "Dreamer." The Zipper," built by Phillip Borst, 18, of Fullerton, came in third. In Group "B" of the rubber-powered model planes, Gerardo Ramos, 23, of Santa Ana, took State Controller Claims Finance To Be Improved "California is improving financial condition," State Controller Thomas Chel, in what he called off of the cash box" report.

Later, as the trials pressed, such statements were all to be inadequate in places, recovering particular points led by the prosecuting teams.

The blaze was estimated to have destroyed some $40,000 worth of merchandise and property. Smoke and water damaged the Mother Colony House restaurant which is located next to the liquor store. When asked for a statement naming the cause of the fire, Franks revealed that actually, no one could be absolutely positive. At first he reasoned that sparks from a shorted wire may have set off the roof, but later Fire Chief R. Nyboe suggested that it could easily have been the result of the spontaneous combustion of alcohol fumes in an entry box between the liquor store and the restaurant, which had been given a coat of shellac Sunday morning. The building was leased by Franks, of 328 North West street, from George H. Capron, 1500 East Ocean Front, Balboa. Building damages were estimated at $25,-000. Unused Leave Forms Available Veterans who wish to file a claim for settlement for unused leave may now obtain official forms issued under the Armed Forces Leave Act of 1046 at the Anaheim Municipal Veterans' Information center, room 202, city hall, it was announced by Ira B. Hodgkins, service director. These forms are for enlisted members of the armed forces separated from active duty under honorable conditions prior to September 1, of this year. They must be signed before a notary public or other officer authorized to administer oaths for general purposes. Hodgkins urged local veterans who qualify to secure these forms now and make their claim for settlement. Robert Lamb, 24, of Anaheim, took 1st prize with a self-designed torpedo bomber, gas powered and capable of flying. Second prize was taken by Tom Wright, 16, also of Anaheim, with his gas-powered model "Dreamer." The Zipper," built by Phillip Borst, 18, of Fullerton, came in third. In Group "B" of the rubber-powered model planes, Gerardo Ramos, 23, of Santa Ana, took first prize with a flashy monoplane of 30 inch wing span. Gary Mattoon, 11, of Anaheim, placed second with a P-40; and a Santa Ana boy, Carlton J. Jordan, 12, placed third with his "Whirlwind." Going on to gas models of boats and racing cars, Douglas McClure, 18, of Fullerton, took first price with a racing car he'd planned and built himself. A seabird hydroplane made by Spencer Conrad, 21, of Anaheim, came in second; and William Weatherman, 16, placed third with a model racing car. Robert M. Bojorquez, 27, of Santa Ana, submitted one of the most beautiful and authentic model Lockheed Venturas to be seen by any of the judges, other contestants or witnesses to the event. He took first place easily, in the solid model planes group of the contest. Second place was taken by Lloyd Marshall, 15, of Anaheim with his Thunderbolt, and third was claimed by Don Davis, 11, of Stanton, with another P-47 Thunderbolt. Racing car judging came next, with the midget racer belonging to Ray Bersticker, 16, of Anaheim, coming in first. Second prize was taken by a jet racer, constructed by Madison Scheppe, 14, of Santa Ana; and third by Ernest Chapman, 17, of Fullerton with a sports roadster. The best solid boat was made by Spencer Conrad, who named it "Old Ironsides." He was the only double winner in the contest.

The location and general nature of these subsurface dykes are indicated in the view above. This type of structure aids in spreading the water over the entire width of the channel and aids in replenishing the water in the basin.

Kuehl, in what he called "a state of the cash box" report. Based on the close of business on the last day of July, Kuehl's figures show that California is not only meeting all its current obligations, but has an excess of 190,000,000 in the general fund. His surplus jumped almost nine million dollars during the past month, and has been mounting steadily under the present administration. Part of the increase in the excess last month was attributed to half million dollar revenue increases from inheritance taxes andari-mutual fees from California race tracks. Oil and mineral royalty revenues also mounted, along with a $115,.000 increase in transportation taxes collected from truck and bus operators, but motor vehicle license receipts declined. Nearly five million dollars were NEW TAX ASSESSED VALUATION SET BY CITY COUNCIL TUESDAY First reading of the city's new tax rate was offered at the meeting of the city council in the council chambers of the city hall last Tuesday night, setting a rate of 80c assessed valuation on $100.00 and showing a tax raise of .05 over last year.

In About Sept 1. Plans for a state-wide campaign to get out the votes in favor of Proposition 1, at the November elections were being formulated this week with the slogan, "Homes and Farms for Veterans." Veterans' Home and Farm committee held an organization meeting last week in San Francisco, with Ed W. Bolt as chairman. Delegates from all parts of the state attended. A similar state proposition was carried by an 11-1 majority in 1944, and personnel of the present group is little changed from the one that passed the proposition two years ago. Proposition 1, this year offers a $100,000,000 state bond issue to finance farms and homes for California veterans on favorable terms of extended payments and low-cost insurance. Soundness of this type of financing, as administered by the State Department of Veterans' Welfare, is proved by the fact that smaller previous issues never have cost the California taxpayer a penny, all the loans being on a healthy financial footing. This new issue is proposed so that the state may continue in part, to pay its debt and repay its promises to its returning soldiers and sailors by providing them such a favorable financing for their much-needed homes and farms. Members of the executive committee, in addition to Mr. Bolt, are Cecelia McKinnon of Concord, vice-chairman; Ada Pennington, Ontario, co-vice-chairman; Warren B. Hillman, San Francisco, secretary-treasurer; and Harry L. Foster, San Diego, vice-chairman. Ralph Nicodemus of Brea and Pauline Cleary of Santa Ana are delegates to the group from this district. Both the Republican and Democratic state groups, along with all veterans' organizations, have already endorsed Proposition 1. With some 4000 members of the American Legion and its auxiliary actively pressing the drive in their respective localities, the campaign for a "yes" vote was planned at the committee meeting, their purpose being to spearhead the drive into every precinct in the state. Committee Chosen To Lead Campaign Arthur W. Carlson, chairman of the Republican State Central committee, announced the appointment of a state-wide "executive committee of 100" to direct the over-all Republican campaign in the November general election. Robert Gossom of the National YMCA finance bureau, will preside over the combined meeting of the men and women's boards of the Anaheim "Y" council, tonight, Thursday at 7:30 o'clock in the local office, 407 South Philadelphia street.

The total sum to be raised by bonds will be $34,907.79; by the library, $24,416.42; by general operations of city, $43,575.74. Two resignations were submitted by city police officers at this meeting. The first, by Officer Ivan E. Wood, states that he wishes to enter a business of his own. The resignation was accepted by the council, and it will become effective as of Sunday, September 1. Wood expects to enter the painting business. He worked as a police officer for the past nine years. The second, which was submitted by Officer Wilford E. Otta, states that "outside interests" are the cause of his decision. The letter was dated Monday, August 26, and the resignation was passed by the council. Both men tendered their thanks for the cooperation they received during their work as police officers, joining in praise of the good fellowship existing on the police force. Charles E. Griffith, city clerk, declared the total expenditures for the city between August 1-15 to be a total of $49,296.11. A contract was renewed for one year by the city council for garbage disposal.

Carlson, chairman of the Republican State Central committee, announced the appointment of a state-wide "executive committee of 100" to direct the over-all Republican campaign in the November general election. Stating that the "committee of 100" was authorized by resolution passed at the meeting of the Republican State Central committee July 21, Carlson added that the appointed men and women are truly representative of all sections of the state. The persons named are of every race and creed; they are leaders in industry, labor and agriculture. "Recent events prove that our constitutional form of government is fighting for its very existence against forces of dictatorship, selfish minorities and machine politics," he said. Carlson concluded his announcement saying that "the executive committee of 100' has been named to bring this fact to the people of California."
