COLONY QUIPS In the current smoke screen from Sacramento that has offended almost everyone's nostrils, the Highway bill, S.B. 5, has seemingly been relegated to the background. There still may be a compromise measure this session. The smoke of other alleged deeds and misdeeds hangs heavy upon the northern horizon. Before all is over, come June, there may be a serious conflagration that we will be able to see this far south. But other important legislation should not be impeded by all this internecine strife. We, the people, need action on many of these measures. If California’s proposed post-war highway program ends up on a dead-end street in the State Legislature, the people who ride the highways probably will be called upon to resolve the problem at a special election in November, according to reports in the Capitol. That solution would require two major steps: 1. Qualification of initiative petitions to submit the gas tax-truck tax revenue measures to direct vote of the people. 2. The calling of a special election by Governor Earl Warren, so that the issue could be presented to the voters this year, instead of waiting for the regular State election in 1948. Emasculation of the Senate-approved highway program by the Assembly — and the seemingly hopeless deadlock between the two legislative houses — already Tall Tales Are Spun At Golf Dinner The Anaheim Golf Association held its quarterly meeting and golf tournament at the Hacienda Country Club last Thursday afternoon. The tournament was followed by dinner and entertainment in the evening. Seventy Anaheim golfers, including a few foreigners, teed off for the afternoon game and 57 sat down to the banquet and other festivities. Arrangements for the entire affair were in the hands of a committee of Everett Cone, chairman; Harry Pearson and Clyde Cromer. For the golf tournament Harry Pearson acted as official starter. Master of Ceremonies Clyde Cromer handled the evening meeting. The first order of business was the attempt to restore order which enriched the coffers of the Association to a great extent. President Rudy Lemcke, after a flowery 2.—The calling of a special election by Governor Earl Warren, so that the issue could be presented to the voters this year, instead of waiting for the regular State election in 1948. Emasculation of the Senate-approved highway program by the Assembly — and the seemingly hopeless deadlock between the two legislative houses — already has resulted in initial action by backers of the big road program to submit the issue to California's 4,000,000 voters. Two initiative acts, one increasing the gas tax 2 cents a gallon, and the other sharply stepping up truck taxes to place the commercial carriers on a parity with other motorists, are in the process of being drafted—and titles for the acts shortly will be asked of the Attorney General's Office. The proposed truck tax initiative, it is reported, also would limit the size and weight of commercial vehicles—and would ban most double-header trucks from the highways. A proposal to impose a severance tax on petroleum which would raise $90,000,000 a year, as a possible alternative to an increase in the gas tax, likewise has been under discussion by some of the groups sponsoring the highway program. The likelihood of the initiative acts being submitted to the voters at a special election in November, or earlier, hinges on the fact that Governor Warren has placed great emphasis on the need of quick action in meeting the highway problem. The Governor has even gone so far as to charge that needless highway deaths and injuries will result from legislative delays—an accusation which has created bitter resentment in the Legislature. In light of his public position on the urgency of the highway program, it is considered almost certain that the Governor would call a special election if it becomes necessary to carry the fight to the people. There is still some prospect, however, that the Senate-Assembly deadlock can be broken, and that a compromise highway program will be adopted, if the bitterness dies down and reason replaces resentment. But if attempts to effect a satisfactory compromise fail, the whole battle will be fought out at the polls—and it arrangements for the entire affair were in the hands of a committee of Everett Cone, chairman; Harry Pearson and Clyde Cromer. For the golf tournament Harry Pearson acted as official starter. Master of Ceremonies Clyde Cromer handled the evening meeting. The first order of business was the attempt to restore order which enriched the coffers of the Association to a great extent. President Rudy Lemcke, after a flowery introduction by the MC, made the address of welcome. The meeting was then turned over to Program Chairman Jack Neville, who was also celebrating his birthday, and in the absence of golf pictures which did not arrive, the MC threw the meeting open to a story telling contest. Two judges, Dick Gay and Rudy Lemcke heard contestants Art Shipkey, Carroll Cone, Robert Boney, Horace Benjamin, Ray Van Wagoner and others who desire to remain anonymous, put forth their best efforts. The sweepstakes were taken by Ray Van Wagoner who gave the group a new method of spelling. The prize was awarded by Bob Williams of Williams Sport Shop. One of the features of the banquet was the presentation of the golf awards by Everett Cone, chairman of that phase of the gathering. Cone distributed prizes as follows: Oldest golfer, Al Riutcel received two golf balls; youngest golfer, Bill Pearson, two golf balls; high gross, C. A. Schutter, two golf balls; second high gross, Glen Peck, one golf ball; low gross, Houston Kier, two golf balls; low net, 'Abe' Cone, two golf balls; second low net, each receiving one golf ball: Larry Jones, Len Bonnat, Joe Sholz, Wally Riutcel, Ray Van Wagoner, George LaFollette, Chauncey Woodrome. The following each received one golf ball: Art Shipkey, most corpulent golfer; Cliff Batchelor, most disagreeable golfer; Clint Wilmsen, most agreeable golfer; President Rudy Lemcke, for least effort expended; Harry Pearson, for most work and no play. The Horrible Hundreds consisted of: Al Bushman, Bill Pearson, C. A. Schutter, H. Keel, Glen Peck, Ernie Gielow, Bill Payne, Bill Ham, Art Wilmsen, Horace Benjamin, Bruce Cook, W. N. Miller, Warren Schutz, Ray Reafsnyer, Bob Mungall, E. O. Hutson, Art Shipkey, Charles Irvin, Sully Roquet, Clint Wilmsen, J. Harper. "A maximum salary for teachers of $5,000 is eminently reasonable today," said Dr. Lionel Silva, research director of Inwood schools, in an address "Adequate Teachers' Salary Tuesday night before an audition of more than 500 at the Frank Willard Junior High School Santa Ana. The meeting sponsored jointly by the same committees of the various schools of Orange county and was attended by teachers, administrators trustees, Parent-Teachers Association members, and other zeners of the county. There was considerable delegation from Aheim. Dr. DeSilva pointed out that National Education association—the American Association for School Superintendents,and National Congress of Parents Teachers have all endorsed a salary schedule for teachers of $250 to $500. "These minimum maximum figures," he said,"not excessive in view of the fact that $2,500 represents only about $1600 in 1940 dollars and $50 only about $3,200." Dr. DeSilva said that salaries must be based in part upon ability of the district to pay,the number of Orange county districts have the ability to supply salary schedules of $2,500 to $500 that already ten districts in the state have adopted $5,000 maximum or are committed to that figure,and that teacher salaries should be the joint concern of boards of educationministrators,and teachers working cooperatively. Following Dr. DeSilva's address James A. Baker, Orange county supervisor and member of Anaheim Union high school board spoke briefly on better salaries for teachers. "The trustees of Orange county.of California,andthe nation have been slow to preciate the fact that teachers have been underpaid. We have get out of the rut we have been in these many years and pay our teachers what they are worth said Baker. The meeting closed with unanimous adoption of a resolution which said in part: "Fully aware of the responsibilities that rest with the teachers in perpetuating our democracy way of life...we...indivisible." It is so often said, in commenting on the death of noted men, that their passing marks the end of an era. But in the case of Henry Ford, it was his vision that opened an era; no thinking person will want to countenance the death of the era with him. Scarcely an American of the present generation is not heir in some degree to the more bountiful living generated by the genius of the Detroit industrialist. The period that Henry Ford pioneered has been the age of mass production, of the assembly line, of more and better goods for more and more people—at a price within the reach of all. Ford's notions were ridiculed at the outset. Obviously, it was believed, a luxury such as an automobile only could be the possession of the fortunate and privileged few. But in a few short years the happy catch-phrase, "you can afford a Ford," was sweeping the Nation. The era of Henry Ford had begun—an era that was to bring the American promise to its highest degree of fulfillment. "It gets rather ridiculous to devote all our energies to saving ourselves from the atom bomb only to move into a slow lingering deterioration because we have not been smart enough to save our soils." — R. E. Bridgeforth, State PMA Director, Virginia. Citrus Growers To Tour Station At Riverside A tour to the Citrus Experiment Station in Riverside will be conducted by the Agricultural Extension Service on April 29 and April 30, according to R. E.

But it was frequently possible to get through calls to all exchanges in the county as well as to Long Beach and Los Angeles. Phone Service Improves But Strike Still On While the telephone workers who are on strike—switchboard operators, clerical help, maintenance men—and the officials and supervisory workers who are not on strike watched the newspapers and listened attentively to the radio this week for some sign of a break in the deadlock between the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company and the striking union members, there was some improvement during the week in telephone service.

The meeting was ordered jointly by the salary committee of the various schools range county and was attended by teachers, administrators, nurses, Parent-Teachers Association members, and other citizens of the county. There was a deliberable delegation from Ana. DeSilva pointed out that the National Education association, American Association of Superintendents, and the General Congress of Parents and Teachers have all endorsed a schedule for teachers of $2,500,000. "These minimum and maximum figures," he said, "are excessive in view of the fact that 2,500 represents only about in 1940 dollars and $5,000 about $3,200."

J. Rossberg, manager of the Anaheim district office. "I'm not experienced enough," says Bob Rossberg, "to handle long distance calls, but I can plug in connections on the local switchboards at Santa Ana and Fullerton, with only a wrong number now and then." Main improvement was in Santa Ana and Fullerton where the telephone company still provides manual service. In those cities it was possible this week at times to put through only emergency calls. A great deal of the time, however, it was possible to get through a call for any purpose. Sometimes phone users had to wait a little while for the operator to answer and sometimes got wrong numbers. But there was enough service to be a great deal better than nothing. The company estimated that, counting locally dialed calls, it was handling better than 90 per cent of the normal number of calls. The operating force on the switchboards in Southern California, according to R. J. Rossberg, manager of the Anaheim office, this week was over 1600 employees, including 988 volunteers, about 400 of which were men.
