AN AMERICAN TRADITION Christmas Seals have become an American tradition. Have they become a tradition because they are bright and attractive? Or because we like to decorate our holiday packages? No. American traditions have deeper roots than the appeal of a pretty piece of paper. Christmas Seals, distributed each year around Thanksgiving time by our tuberculosis association, have become an American tradition because they are the symbol of an intelligent battle being waged in this country against a disease and because it is an American custom to stand back of efforts to improve the welfare of our people. Christmas Seals are a little thing in themselves. We can buy a whole sheet of them for a dollar. But the thing for which Christmas Seals stand is big—as big as the health of every man, woman and child in our country who have lived here through this period of such remarkable expansion are invariably startled when we pause to compare the California of today with the California of 1936 or 1940. But, as remarkable as has been the physical change within the state it has been no greater than the change in attitude toward California by the people living outside our borders. This fact was emphasized by Mr. Carl F. Wentte, senior vice-president of Bank of America in a speech entitled "California, here I come!" Said Mr. Wente, "For years we were told by eastern factory representatives out here looking us over for the possibility of establishing plants: 'Yes, we would like to locate here, but the West Coast does not have sufficient market; not enough people; not enough buying power.' How things have changed!" Then he went on to point out that with a new capital, house of Representatives step up to the post of chief executive should both the F.D.C. and the Vice-President decide or be disqualified from office. Mr. Truman argued convincingly that under the circumstances where their Vice-President he can not own successor who would over if he failed to first term. This, the President clared, was not consistent with democratic form of government. On the other hand Mr. Truman, the Speaker House was the logical man he is "elected in his own name and is also elected to be siding officer of the House vote of all the Representatives all the people of the country. But when those words spoken Sam Rayburn, D.D., Texas, was the Speaker House. Events on November changed that. When the Congress convenes in January Martin of Massachusetts-publican, of course—is the man to take over the gave way. We wonder if President still has the same enthusiasm his proposed change now had a year or more ago thing is quite certain: the means will be very much of making it a law. Undoubtedly the Presidency feels that it was a good idea. MARCH OF TIME—AND MR. LEWIS In the coal strike timing in favor of John L. The nation must have Railroads and industries, easily in the east, will have these operations when coal supplies gone. Millions of homes on coal for heat. When we buy Christmas Seals we are giving our support to a campaign to control tuberculosis, a disease which causes more deaths among young people between 15 and 80 than any other disease, a disease which kills people of all ages at the rate of one person every ten minutes. The campaign against tuberculosis has been supported by the sale of Christmas Seals for nearly 40 years. During that time, tremendous strides have been made in conquering the disease, but the final victory has not yet been won. It will be won if the American people continue to support the association directing the battle by buying and using Christmas Seals, which provide the ammunition for the battle. It is an American tradition, a good American tradition, to buy and use the Christmas Seals. THE NEW CALIFORNIA The story of California's spectacular growth in recent years has been told and retold countless times. And yet, even those of us IT'S DIFFERENT NOW President Truman may be in for some embarrassing moments next year as a result of legislation which he proposed. Shortly after he moved into the White House, Mr. Truman came forth with the declaration that the line of Presidential succession should be changed. He proposed that instead of the Secretary of State being next after the Vice-President, the Speaker of the Bank of America in a speech entitled "California, here I come!" Said Mr. Wente, "For years we were told by eastern factory representatives out here looking us over for the possibility of establishing plants: 'Yes, we would like to locate here, but the West Coast does not have sufficient market; not enough people; not enough buying power.' How things have changed!" Then he went on to point out that with a per capita income of approximately $400 annually more than the average for the United States as a whole, and with a 0-million population California has become one of the greatest markets in the world. Now, easterners no longer say, "Yes, we would like to locate here, but . . .." They're too busy finding suitable locations and building their plants to say much, except to sing the praises of the Golden State. We're glad not only that California has "arrived", but that the rest of the country has now awakened to that fact.

Again it becomes our sad duty to record the death of one of our fellow citizens, one who was in the first adventurous band of Ploneers to settle upon the broad wild plain where now stands Anaheim.

Rogers suggests the propriety of beginning a sentiment among the citizens in favor of the long delayed dinner of the chamber of commerce, and considers that the time for it ought to be about the time of the return of the excursion of citizens to the Alamitos sugar factory, which Mr. Boschke has kindly tendered our people, and which it is expected will occur probably on Tuesday of next week. The chamber of commerce has been in a condition of innocuous desuetude for many moons past, but whether the dinner be merged into the jollification of the excursion, by all means let us have it any way.
