GOODBYE TO "46" The year 1946 has passed. It is nothing more than a memory to the entire world now that 1947 has officially taken over. At approximately 11:59 on December 31, as millions of people turned to face a new year, faint memories of the past 365 days may have come to them. A fleeting glimpse of a certain day of happiness; a passing thought of another day that may not have been so happy; other thoughts, stirred by the importance of the occasion; all of them bundled together, would belong to another year in exactly one minute. A million clocks ticked on. Sixty seconds later, as the silence was shattered by whistles, horns, sirens, bells, another year had started. It was given to this world fresh and clean and peaceful—far more peaceful than 1946. With it we can shape a new life; a new destiny; maybe a 1812 it was $15 per capita. After the Civil War the national debt was the equivalent of $78 per citizen; in 1918 it was $240., and now it has leaped to $1,981. To put it another way, we owe one hundred times more per capita now than we did following the Revolution; twenty-five times more than after Lee's surrender; and eight times more than when the Kaiser called it quits. That's plenty. And, incidentally nobody should pass it off with the bland remark that it doesn't matter much since "we owe it to ourselves." We don't. We owe it to each other—and that's vastly different. If you lend your next door neighbor some money that debt exists within the national "family" but your neighbor doesn't owe the money to himself, he owes it to you. And you want your money back in due course. So do the individuals and or- C. of C. President Tells of Progress (Continued from Page 1) A recommendation for an park in Anaheim will be forwarded by the transportation committee, of which Joe Scholz is general chairman. The committee will also mobilize its forces to aid Governor Warren in his efforts to solve the traffic problem through a 12-year extensive road modernization program. The retail division will be encouraged to work out a program of action through the united forts of the retailers to make Anaheim the trading mart of Orange county. Jim Kilduff's annexation committee will have before it a proposal from the people living northeast of the city limits for annexation to the city. Plans will include a definite program of action for the education and culture committee, the veterans, the housing, the public buildings, services and facilities, and the community design and land use committees. All of these committees will coordinate their activities in an effort to make Anaheim the most progressive city in the southland. Special mention was made of proposed "civic program week," which calls for the collaboration of all clubs, organizations and groups in the city, for the purpose of promoting the best interests of the city.

Today it belongs to history. NATIONAL DEBT A study made by the late Brigadier General Leonard P. Ayres, noted economist, just before his recent death shows how the United States has come out of five important wars from the financial angle. After winning our independence from Great Britain the per capita debt in the country was $19. Three decades later after the war of nobody should pass it off with the bland remark that it doesn't matter much since "we owe it to ourselves." We don't. We owe it to each other—and that's vastly different. If you lend your next door neighbor some money that debt exists within the national "family" but your neighbor doesn't owe the money to himself, he owes it to you. And you want your money back in due course. So do the individuals and organizations which have loaned money to Uncle Sam. STOP THE SLAUGHTER! The carnage on American streets and highways which has reached an appalling peak in recent weeks calls for swift and positive action to bring an end to the careless killing of men, women and children by drunken or habitually reckless drivers.

Asked whether he still suspicioned the city clerk as the guilty party, he replied evasively that that august official had said nothing about it, and it might have been one of the orange growers, probably Mr. But we won't say anything about it.
