THE GENERAL TALKS STRAIGHT If General George C. Marshall, the new Secretary of State, can get along half as well with foreign diplomats and the officials of his own department as he did with newsmen when he arrived back in Washington to take his new post he should be most successful indeed. Political reporters, long accustomed to daily doses of double talk from leading Capital figures, gasped in astonishment when General Marshall, who has been rumored as a rpresidential or vice-presidential candidate, talked to them in unequivocal language about his political future. Reportorial ears sharpened when he said: "I will never become involved in political matters and therefore I cannot be considered a candidate for political office." But they must have poppedgressive Southern leaders to appear in many years. He is the direct antithesis of the Bilbo-Rankin-Talmadge type of fire-eating, Negro-hating demagogue. He would strongly appeal to Northern Democrats and to many independent voters. The Democrats will do well not to forget him—and so will the Republicans. CENTENNIALS AHEAD About this time next year California will be getting knee-deep into the centennial celebrations commemorating the early days of our state. The 100th anniversary of the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill—the most dynamic event in all California history—is now less than a year away for it occurred on January 24, 1848. After that centennial there will be many others marking the events which crowded the roaring 31 months between James Mar- Reportorial ears sharpened when he said: "I will never become involved in political matters and therefore I cannot be considered a candidate for political office." But they must have popped when he went on, "The popular conception that no matter what the man says he can be drafted as a candidate for some political office would be without force or effect with regard to me. I never could be drafted." Probably not since the day when General Sherman said in regard to the presidency: "I will not accept if nominated, and will not serve if elected," has any American stated his political position so clearly as did the new boss of the State Department. General Marshall may have set a precedent for an era of straight talking in Washington, and his forthrightness should help to further eliminate the diplomatic evasiveness in international dealings. At least, his candor has already won him the enthusiastic backing of both major parties and it is bound to enhance his stature in the eyes of foreign statesmen. Both America and the rest of the world have great need of men who say what they mean and mean what they say. GEORGIA "PEACH" The Georgia "putsch" which put Herman Talmadge in the Governor's chair, at least temporarily, may eventually do his political career more harm than good. Herman is finding that the Governor's chair is really a hot seat which is getting hotter as public indignation and protest increase. On the other hand, the man whom Talmadge so unceremoniously displaced—former Governor Ellis Arnall—has greatly benefitted by the national prominence he has gained in his fight against the Talmadge maneuver. Arnall is now being widely discussed as a possible Democratic presidential nominee in 1952. There is also the possibility that he might be paired with Harry Truman in 1948. The 39-year-old Georgian is recognized as one of the most pro- THEE WALTONS SPONSORING FLY-TYING CLASS HERE Beginning a second successful season is the fly-tying class now being instructed by Angler Charlie Evans at Bob Williams' sporting goods store on West Broadway each Monday night at 7:30 o'clock.

Leader SERVICES Every Nite Through February 16th Christ for Orange County Appelman Meetings IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago Feb. 10, 1872 One of the most gratifying features of our progress, and the strongest recommendation that should be given of the character of our people is the rapid increase in school facilities in this county, our courteous and efficient school superintendent, W. M. McFadden, esq., favors us with the following exhibit: Anaheim, Jan. 29, 1872. My dear editor: At your request I have prepared a statement of the increase of the school districts, schools and census of children between the ages of 5 and 15 years for the last six years in Los Angeles county: In 1866 there were 32 districts, 16 schools and 2,504 census children. In 1870 there were 34 districts, 43 schools and 137 census children. The total value of the school property increased from $13,786 in 1866 to $19,512 in 1871. About four years ago Postmast-Clark, of Los Angeles and a party of prospectors, found a small spring of petroleum at San Fernando. Drilling a hole into the rock in which the spring was located, with an ordinary mining mill lengthened out, they struck flowing well, which has, we are formed, yielded an average of our barrels of oil a day ever since. A large shipment of this oil has just been made to San Francisco. Gen. P. J. Banning has been commissioned brigadier general for the first brigade N. G. C., vice admiral John M. Palduin resigned peace policy are again illustrated in the murder of three more white men between Tucson and Camp Bowie, Arizona on the 24th ult. It seems that the buckboard (the vehicle in which the mails are carried in that country) was attacked by Apaches, three persons killed, another wounded, the mail destroyed, the driver barely escaping with his life. The people of Arizona are certainly entitled to protection at the hands of the government, which has a military force strong enough to occupy every square mile of Arizona and there is no reason why these savages should not be immediately exterminated. Messrs., Bent and Ralph hold a grand skating carnival at their rink in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening next. Those of our citizens who find it convenient to be there will have an evening's entertainment with visiting.

'March of Dimes' Aerial Show This Sunday To swell the "March of Dimes" drive, a veterans air show featuring Herb "Madman" Page, acrobatic airman; Tommy "Batman" Boyd, delayed-jump parachutist; Lynn White, multiple-chute jumper, and Johnny Shumaker, aerial clown, will be staged this Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Orange county airport. The two-hour benefit program of thrills and chills is under the auspices of the Santa Ana Junior Chamber of Commerce. Art Dempster of Santa Ana is the general chairman of the air circus. All performers are ex-Marines, Navy, and Army air force veterans. A 10,000-foot batwing jump by Boyd, the last of six pioneer parachutists will be included. A veteran of 400 jumps, Boyd does not open his 38-foot wingspread chute until 300 feet from the ground. This aerial extravaganza will make the conclusion of the week's concentrated drive the junior chamber's drive to subscribe a city goal of $10,000 to the National Infantile Paralysis fund.

Wednesday February Lincoln's birthday. 50 Years Ago Feb. 11, 1897 Bishop Johnson preached an inquisitive sermon in the Episcopal church on Sunday afternoon. He spiced and Deering conducted the services. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Tharp of San Francisco, grandchild of Mr. and Mrs. Hanna of Miraflores, was christened. The singing of the noir composed of Mrs. Edith Day, Mrs. Garrison, Miss Fritzie Heiman, Miss Benchley and Mrs. Polhemus was very fine. The bishop preached from the sixteenth chapter of St. Matthew: "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." The sermon was delivered with the bishop's well-known forceful address and was an eloquent elaboration of the theme in hand. The bishop was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Hoy, of Villa Park. Wedding bells rang out yesterday at Buena Park when Gilbert Sandell, son of Judge and Mrs. Sandell of Centralia, and Miss Jenelope Beard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. I. Beard, and sister of Mrs. Charles Bixley, were married. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. M. Webster, of Pasadena. The ushers were George Whitaker, Leonard Johnson and Mr. Ed Johnson. The bride was a travelling costume of seal brown cloth with light blue and pink silk front, cut with bolero effect of velvet and silk, with a charming turban of brown velvet. Immediately after the ceremony they received the congratulations of their relatives and friends among whom were Mrs. Fannie Shoemaker, Mrs. Josephine Butler, Frank and John Landell, Miss Ray, and others. The bridal couple left for their honeymoon on the four o'clock train. Alex Henry has presented us with a sample lot of oranges grown on his Caledonia orchard at West Anaheim, which are superior to any we have seen in a long time. The samples are Washington navels and naval Bloods, the latter a new and popular variety. Mr. Henry has disposed of his crop of oranges at the rate of $1 per box of 65 pounds on the trees. There are to be no "off sizes," in fact, Alex has "no off" sizes in his grove. Alex has a box of his fruit on exhibition at Boyd's grocery. Caroline Mead, wife of the late E. A. Mead, died in Los Angeles on the 6th inst. She was born in Tennessee in 1826. She was married to Mr. Mead in 1847 and they came to California in 1870 and settled in Orangethorpe where they lived continuously since Mrs. B. F. Porter is her daughter. She was a sister of our postmistress, Mrs. J. S. Gardiner and of K. A. R. Keener. Mrs. Langenberger has been quite seriously ill for some days past, but yesterday was reported somewhat better. Agricultural Service Groups To Meet Jan. 31 In keeping with the long established policy of the Agricultural Extension Service of developing a program of activities based on the wants of farm people and interests of those engaged in agriculture, a conference has been called by the service to take place in their new offices in Santa Ana Community Center, Friday, January 31. The extension services's work program for 1947 will be made up from ideas advanced by the subcommittees on the principle crops and farm home interests. The problems of the different groups will be carefully considered, and a schedule of activities, such as demonstrations, test plots, etc., will be made up for the coming year. Among those committees represented will be Citrus and Avocado, Rural Home, Livestock, Truck and Field Crops and 4-H Clubs. "OKLAHOMA OPTIMISM" Oklahoma citizens, especially the farmers and oil fraternity, are noted for their optimism, and even in the midst of a summer drought or the drilling in of a 'duster,' they are planning on next year's planting or drilling a new "wildcat." As proof of this assertion of their optimism we wish to reproduce the following paragraphs taken from a recent letter (January 24) from an Oklahoma citizen to an old friend now living in Anaheim. The paragraphs here-with follow: “This is a real Oklahoma day—nice and warm and in about two minutes (after finishing this letter) I will be in my garden getting ready to do the planting. A few days ago we would not been able to plant anything unless we had used dynamite to tear up the ground—only 17 degrees below zero here, and for a few days you can imagine what a nice time we had enjoying it (shivering). I 25 Years Ago Feb. 9, 1922 Another rain began falling Tuesday evening and at 8 o'clock yesterday morning nearly half an inch had fallen according to R. W. Sandilands' gauge. This takes a precipitation of 12.38 inches for the season according to the measurement of the same instrument. The temperature, Mr. Sandilands reports, at 5 o'clock yesterday morning was 50 above zero. Brick work on the new Zion Lutheran church at the corner of family and Chartres streets is almost completed. This is a beautiful structure and will be one of the finest church edifices in the city. It will be ready for dedication probably in a month. Saturday and Sunday were busy days for the Orange county cops. Thirty-eight violators of the law were gathered on the highways in the county. Mrs. Wm.
