TEACHERS NEED MORE PAY In the little red school house—or maybe it wasn't little, or even red—millions of us learned to read and write and wrestle with arithmetic—and by the aid of teachers, lay the foundation of our lives. Lots of people are slipping today, and the statistics show that in 1940 there were 10 million Americans who were functionally illiterate. A total of 676000 were rejected by the Selective Service in wartime for mental or educational deficiency. Among the registrants in the draft 350,000 signed their names with a mark. Today 5 millions of school age are not in school. How can these children win their battles with life? The remedy exists in the public schools. Adults over 25 years old who have not completed more than 4 years of schools reach a national percentage of 1.3.57. In the long ago perhaps your their profession in recent years, simply because they had to make more money to live on. Besides, it is estimated that the average public school teacher in 1945-6 has attended college one year less than the average teacher did a few years before. It is interesting to know that as late as 1941 married teachers were debarred from regular teaching positions in 58 per cent of the cities school system; but progress has debunked the old idea that teachers must be unmarried. Marriage and parenthood is now recognized as having stepped-up the competence of teachers. The National Education Association demands that "we can afford to spend a larger amount for education if we want to do so... Schooling pays. We can afford to educate our children." The Association declares: "Responsibility cannot be lightly regarded at any time... It is of the utmost moment in the period of world- IN THE DAY Feb. 17, 1872.

It gives us pleasure to announce the opening of a fine new hotel in the Anaheim hotel building two of our most popular men, Messrs., Al and M.Steinhart. The former was agent of the Anaheim Life Company, then a partner in firm of Heiman, Steinhart George, and more recently he keeper for Messrs. Phillip H. & Bro. The latter has been several years a clerk for He & George. May they be succeed in their new enterprise.

The remedy exists in the public schools. Adults over 25 years old who have not completed more than 4 years of schools reach a national percentage of 1.3.57. In the long ago perhaps your sister taught in a country school for $20 a month and was "boarding around" in the homes of her pupils. In 1917 the average annual salary had arisen to $600. In 1929 a teacher's annual salary was much less than that of employees in all forms of private business, and in 1944 it was still $464 less than that of the average worker in private employment. The average teacher still gets much less pay than the privately employed man or woman. The National Education Association of the United States is our authority for these statistics. It properly emphasizes the point that the school teacher in order to be a success must be highly educated, and possesses practical, technical and artistic skill representing the best talent. More than half of the children of the United States between the ages of 5 to 17 years live in rural areas and about 9,000,000 live in the open country. It is comforting to learn that some of the best schools for rural children are in the rural districts. But, among the schools of rural children a disproportionate number are of the poorest kind. There is an urgent present need for qualified teachers for these children. Sad to relate, several hundred thousand able teachers deserted ORANGE COUNTY RESERVE OFFICERS TO CELEBRATE NATIONAL SECURITY National Security Week, February 12-22, will be celebrated by the Orange County Chapter of the Reserve Officers' Association in co-operation with the organization's national headquarters, according to announcement by Lt.

Breyfogle has gone to Death Valley to hunt up rich diggings from which he was formerly driven by Indians. C. Tustin has sold three more lots to new-comers. A public school house was commenced at Tustin City, Sycamore district which will be taught by Miss Ellen Casad. There are about 25 scholars in the district. The residence of P. A. Clark on Los Angeles street is all enclosed and presents a very neat appearance. It is sided with rustic. Thomas Alva Edison The memory of one of America's greatest men—Thomas Alva Edison—will be honored throughout the nation on February 11, the centennial anniversary of his birth. The inventor was born 100 years ago at Milan, Ohio. He died October 18, 1931, at West Orange, New Jersey. Edison's centennial is being observed in schools, by civic organizations and service clubs, by special programs in theatres, and by a commemorative U. S. Stamp, on sale for the first time on February 11, in his birthplace. Edison demonstrated how high a man could rise in a free economy. In many countries of his day, where a son could not rise above his father,, Edison would have been a maker of wooden shingles because that was his father's trade. Edison showed also how far a man could go under exceptional handicaps. As a boy he was not re-made our lives. When he died in his 80s Edison had been issued more than 1,097 patents. Perhaps famous was for the electric This would have been a benefit without his establishment of the present day method of electricity central station. The motion and phonograph were conceived by Edison. Among his other important contributions are the carbon phone transmitter, the railroad, the universal motor, steel storage battery and rotary cement kilns lamps for miners, and a discovery on which radio television and other electronic devices are based. It has been said that his tions and methods father modern methods of industrial search, and that they gave to new industries with a valuation of more than billion dollars, employing than four million men and However, the real merit Edison's stature cannot be limited in dollars and cents reds of men have accrued more from his inventions did. He was interested in getting enough money to him to carry on his work. "Edison's genius and its can best be judged by the fits they built," one of his life has said. "The light brought a new era out of darkness, his poems lessened physical touch where, his phonograph means of capturing film for the inspiration of art and his motion pictures livened leisure hours with that brightens a drab world." 50 Years Ago Feb. 18, 1897 elaborate preparations are be-made for the masquerade ball given by the Legion of Honour at the opera house Monday night, and the indications are that the ball will be very largely adored and many rich costumes tail. The Legion of Honor has the management of some of the most enjoyable masquerades ever given here, and the sent affair bids fair to eclipse all.

Edison demonstrated how high a man could rise in a free economy. In many countries of his day, where a son could not rise above his father,, Edison would have been a maker of wooden shingles because that was his father's trade. Edison showed also how far a man could go under exceptional handicaps. As a boy he was not strong, and because of his physical condition he was kept out of school beyond the usual age. In fact his formal schooling totalled only three months and was augmented by what teaching his mother could give him, and by his own reading. Yet Tom Edison, who was considered "addled" by one of his teachers because his young imagination was beginning to sprout with genius, made scientific discoveries and inventions which NEW DAUGHTER Welcoming a new were Mr. and Mrs. Jesus rez of Route 3, Box 327, She arrived last Thursday Fullerton general hospital the scales at six pounds ounces.

The total registration it is expected will exceed 32,000. Valencia orange growers of the Rheim district received a grand total of $4,550,000 for their last year's crop it was disclosed by annual reports of the various rail packing houses, showing the productivity of Orange county's land and its adaptability to citrusulture. The shipments approximated 3200 carloads of fruit, averaging 400 boxes to the car. Approximately 60 per cent of the total output was shipped through two exchange houses, the Rheim Orange and Lemon Association and the Anaheim Rum Association. The Merchants Association met the Elks club house Monday evening and elected a board of directors for the coming year. The new board is composed of M. Renner, Sidney Prince, Joan Kustiner, H. N. White and Stroup. The directors were elected to elect officers at a later meeting. Frank Tausch was an elected secretary. Work will begin next meeting with the new F. A. Hartman business block on East Center street, between the Gazette office and represent Hartman building at Olive street office. The second floor will contain two rooms. Hundreds of people flocked to Ana Fe Springs, Sunday, to see the big gas well which broke through prematurely Saturday evening, blew the derrick into kindling wood and went on a rampage. The roaring could be heard for a distance of twenty miles. In Anaheim it sounded like a train of cars. At two o'clock Monday morning the gas caught fire from friction and shot a column of flame 400 feet into the air. It is still burning and probably will continue to burn until the pressure becomes lower, when the flame can be more easily snuffed out. The well is situated in an orange grove on the Ball ranch. Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Donahue of Pittsburg, have arrived in town and will remain until spring enjoying our climate. They have apartments on North Lemon street. Reports relative to collection of funds for river protection indicate that Charles Harbeson, J. J. Dwyer and Allen Withee were highest. Fritz Yungbluth made the heaviest returns in one of the most difficult districts, his total amounting to nearly $3,000. Figures of the total amount at the time of going to press were something over $36,000. C. W. Mason died at his home in this city Saturday. Funeral services were held on Tuesday at Backs and Terry's, Rev. Geissinger being in charge.

When he died in his 84th year, Edison had been issued more than 1,097 patents. Perhaps his most famous was for the electric light. This would have been of little benefit without his establishment of the present day method of distribution of electricity from a central station. The motion picture and phonograph were also first conceived by Edison. Among his other important contributions are the carbon telephone transmitter, the electric railroad, the universal electric motor, steel storage batteries, giant rotary cement kilns, safety ramps for miners, and a scientific discovery on which radio, radar, television and other electronic devices are based. It has been said that his inventions and methods fathered the modern methods of industrial research, and that they gave birth to new industries with a capital evaluation of more than twenty billion dollars, employing more than four million men and women. However, the real measure of Edison's stature cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Hundreds of men have accumulated more from his inventions than he did. He was interested solely in getting enough money to enable him to carry on his work. "Edison's genius and inventions can best be judged by the benefits they built," one student of his life has said. "The electric light brought a new era of light out of darkness, his power systems lessened physical toil everywhere, his phonograph provided the means of capturing fine music for the inspiration of everyone, and his motion pictures have enlivened leisure hours with magic that brightens a drab world." SANTA FE SKYWAYS TO INAUGURATE NEW LINE Santa Fe Skyway, Inc., the Santa Fe Railroad sponsored airfreight line, announced a new service to patrons inaugurated February 3, when regular service between San Francisco and the midwest began. The Skyway organization has been operating a line between Los Angeles and Chicago since July 1946, and now has seven airfreighters in operation.
