COLONY QUIPS Political gossip has it that our leading "ex" man Henry Wallace will soon show up to campaign for any candidate who is acceptable to the extreme left wingers. We wonder if ex-this and ex-that Wallace will show in Orange county and if he will be treated as a messiah or as just a has-been. It is also rumored that the secretary of Senator Sheridan Downey has been in this county running the campaign of Ray Adkinson. Well there seems to be a real need for a little outside help. Our congressman, John Phillips, seems to be doing a good job without an imported Washington bureaucrat. Anyway that makes one less bureaucrat in Washington. As long as we got started on politics here is an article written by Clem Whitaker of San Francisco telling how the betting genteel feel about the coming election: The political pendulum, which has had a leftish bias for more than a decade past, is swinging free again—and swinging toward the right! California, as a consequence, will go Republican in November, and several other major states, while still Democratic in registration, are also slated for GOP victories. That is not alone this writer's forecast; it is the considered judgment of the betting fraternity, who back their opinions with their dollars, and who make their wagers on the basis of carefully-conducted surveys, rather than on personal preferences. San Francisco betting commissioner Anaheim’s 23rd annual Hallowe’en festival will be celebrated Thursday, October 31, sponsored by the City Chamber of Commerce and affiliated organizations, with the usual enormous community tune breakfast starting the festivities at 7:00 a.m., followed by a show of star vaudeville entertainers and concluding with a monsieur street parade at night. This spectacular festival is noted throughout the southland as one of the outstanding events of the year. Last Hallowe’en, 40,000 people lined the streets of the city to view the big parade. This year the parade committee, headed by John Ardaiz, promises to make the day “bigger, better and more exciting than ever before.” All citizens were given whole-hearted invitations in letters sent out by the committee to join the festival. Floats, decorated cars, horses and stunts will be included in the parade. Following is a list of rules and regulations that entrants are asked to comply with: 1. Floats should stress “Hallowe’en theme” (Merchandising should be relatively inconspicuous). 2. All Floats must be com- New Bargains! Don’t get your dander ladies, but here’s and “ancle price list distributed by a grocery store some years ago,” was discovered in a pile of newspapers and is headed the following declaration: “Due to an oversupply of food products in the United States, prices are dropping. Here are our new prices: Crisco, 48 cents; Snowdrift, cents; Oleomargarine, 11 cent a pound; canned milk (tall), for 25 cents; sugar, 10 pounds for 50 cents; pineapple juice 10 cents.” The list was issued by a grocery store owned by Mr. A Mrs. O. T. Johnson who hails retired from the business.” will go Republican in November, and several other major states, while still Democratic in registration, are also slated for GOP victories. That is not alone this writer's forecast; it is the considered judgment of the betting fraternity, who back their opinions with their dollars, and who make their wagers on the basis of carefully-conducted surveys, rather than on personal preferences. San Francisco betting commissioners are quoting the following odds on the contests for two top state offices still at issue: For lieutenant governor: 2 to 1 that Goodwin J. Knight of Los Angeles defeats Senator John F. Shelley of San Francisco. Even money that Knight beats Shelley by 150,000. For attorney general: 3 to 1 that District Attorney Fred Howser of Los Angeles defeats District Attorney Edmund G. ("Pat") Brown of San Francisco. The bettors are more cagey in their approach to the United States senate fight, however, with only even money being quoted on the fracas between Senator William F. Knowland and Will Rogers Jr. Generally speaking, according to the proprietors of the betting marts, there is more money being offered to back GOP candidates than the Democrats are willing to cover—and the odds will lengthen if this condition continues. International as well as domestic issues are influencing voter opinion (and indirectly, the betting odds), survey specialists report. Soviet Russia, by her imperialistic power grab methods, has antagonized millions of American voters, with devastating effect on left-wing candidates in this country. Similarly, failure of Washington agencies to come to grips with post-war domestic problems has hurt administration candidates—and hurt badly. The stock market crash—and the harrowing difficulties of housewives at the corner meat market—have both cost the Democratic party heavily, according to professional samples of public opinion, and the slow-down in cars, refrigerators and housing is helping to put the skids under Democratic candidates. The net result, if the betting gentry know their politics, will be a California GOP victory in November—with a good prospect that the nation will elect a Republican congress. The pendulum is swinging back! All citizens were given whole-hearted invitations in letters sent out by the committee to join the festival. Floats, decorated cars, horses and stunts will be included in the parade. Following is a list of rules and regulations that entrants are asked to comply with: 1. Floats should stress "Hallowe'en theme" (Merchandising should be relatively inconspicuous). 2. All Floats must be completely decorated. All passenger cars must be at least 50 per cent decorated. All entrants must pass inspection of parade marshal. 3. Floats must have signs not more than 14 inches by 44 inches on both sides carrying names of entry and title of float. 4. Cars must have signs not more than 7 inches by 22 inches on both sides—carrying name of entry. 5. All marchers must wear costumes. (Musical organizations may use their own uniforms.) Marchers must wear number on left shoulder. 6. Marchers must enter 2 abreast and at least ten feet apart. 7. Vehicles must maintain 30 foot separations. 8. All horsemen (and mounts) assemble at the corner of Olive and Center streets by 6:00 p.m. (Unless notified otherwise) all entries to be judged must be on hand not later than 5:30 p.m. Do not fail to be present—the judges will not wait! 9. All entrants in parade from south side of Center street must enter their division from Broadway. 10. All entrants in parade from north side of Center street must enter their division from Chartress. 11. Music is permitted from floats. Speaking and announcements are strictly forbidden. 12.

Petitions Asking For Annexation To Be Circulated James Kilduff, chairman of the Annexation committee, Chamber of Commerce, declared that petitions requesting the city council to incorporate two general areas lying on the outer border of Anaheim into the city will be circulated among the residents and property owners soon. Petitions of non-residents were meat market—have both cost the Democratic party heavily, according to professional samples of public opinion, and the slow-down in cars, refrigerators and housing is helping to put the skids under Democratic candidates.

In the event that you have been on a shopping tour and have come home empty handed, or otherwise, the little poem below might have a point or two in it that will be interesting. SHORTAGES There’s a shortage of rubber, A shortage of wheat, A shortage of blubber, A shortage of meat, A shortage of silk, A shortage of bricks, A shortage of milk, A shortage of wicks, A shortage of kelp, A shortage of suits, A shortage of help, A shortage of boots, A shortage of wax, A shortage of tools, A shortage of shacks, A shortage of spools, A shortage of shoes, A shortage of pelts, A shortage of screws, A shortage of felts, A shortage of men, Money, marbles, and chalk—But there never HAS been Any shortage of talk! —Pickleberry Ben, Johnston City, Ill. A building permit was issued to Melvin Kilgenbeck of 123 South Palm street, for a dwelling on the east side of Walnut street, 300 feet north of Stanford street costing $6500. “Every Dog Has His Day” “Every dog must have his day”—or so the old adage goes. Only this time it's a week which began last Sunday and will end next Sunday. National Dog Week has been observed annually since its inaugural 28 years ago by Capt. Will Judy in the interest of better poochs and better canine owners. The advisory board boasts of such famous personalities and organizations as Dogs for Defense, Inc., the American Humane Assn., John Phillips, California congressman, and Robert Ripley of “Believe It or Not” fame. Main purpose of the organization is the elimination of stray dogs from the streets, obedience-trained dogs, well-kept shelters, kind treatment toward canine pets and the support of legislation designed to protect "man's best friend." The average jackrabbit can keep up a top speed for 35 or 40 miles an hour for considerable distances. James Kilduff, chairman of the Annexation committee, Chamber of Commerce, declared that petitions requesting the city council incorporate two general areas lying on the outer border of Anaheim into the city will be circulated among the residents and property owners soon. Petitions of non-reidents were recently heard by the committee asking for aid in their desire to join their properties to the city of Anaheim. One group lives in an area bisected by the Manchester highway and the other is in the vicinity of North street. The proposed westerly area for annexation is roughly bounded by the city limits on the east; Burton street on the north, running westly to a point at Euclid avenue and then south on Euclid broadway which would form the south boundary of this area. The North street area is roughly bounded by the city limits on the west; Sycamore street on the south; Placentia avenue on the east and Romneya drive on the north. The north line would extend westerly to the railroad tracks and the city limits on the east. "These proposed annexed areas are potentially the fastest growing on the outer lines of our city and will develop rapidly as residential and commercial areas as soon as the city services are extended to these outlying properties," said Chairman Kilduff. The main reason for the demand for annexation is the need for city water and fire protection. The full advantages of the joint outfall sewer which runs south or Euclid avenue would also be extended to the residents living on the avenue or near it.

He managed the Dickel Department store for 16 years and in 1920 he decided to enter the insurance business. April 27, 1931, Tausch was appointed city judge, handling the insurance business along with the new position. "It was easy in those days," he said, "but since the beginning of the war this job of being judge has gotten to be more than five times busier than ever before. In fact, since 1941, we take in five times more a year in fines than we ever dreamed of taking in the years before. The population has increased, new industries have come into being, bringing with them transients and people from other states who are not always familiar with our city ordinances. In the meantime, my insurance..." Beginning at 2:30 o'clock, the afternoon session will be divided into two divisions, elementary and secondary.

Coons, son of the late Mrs. Mary Ella Coons of this city, and graduate of local schools, will be inaugurated as president of Occidental College, Los Angeles next Thursday, it was announced said, "but since the beginning of the war this job of being judge has gotten to be more than five times busier than ever before. In fact, since 1941, we take in five times more a year in fines than we ever dreamed of taking in the years before. The population has increased, new industries have come into being, bringing with them transients and people from other states who are not always familiar with our city ordinances. In the meantime, my insurance business has grown to such proportions that both jobs together would need a superman to manage." The former judge discussed his association with the city police, telling of their wonderful cooperation with him. "As far as the city council goes," he said, "they're one hundred per cent okay!" Shea is associated with the law firm of McFadden and Turner, located in the Bank of America building. He lived in Cypress from 1923 to 1933 and entered the Anaheim Union high school in 1925, graduating in 1929. In 1933 he moved to Fullerton where he attended junior college and he graduated in 1935. He went to the University of Southern California during the following two years working on his Bachelor of Arts degree and in 1941 he received his LLB degree from Loyola Law school. He practiced law in Los Angeles until his entry into the army in May, 1942. Shea received his honorable discharge in March, 194C, attaining the rank of major after seeing service with the infantry in the Philippines. Aside from the resignation of Judge Tausch, the city council busily went ahead with the routine business coming to their attention, approving an application from the high school district asking for the use of La Palma football field for five night games. Also approved by the council was the re-routing of Pacific Electric coach service through Anaheim via Los Angeles street.
