ANAHEIM GAZETTE Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange County HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207. Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1897. Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 MEMORIAL DAY It is difficult to walk among the graves of America's fallen heroes without feeling an overwhelming urge to carry on the fight with renewed vigor and determination for those things for which they gave their lives—lasting peace, true justice, full equality for all men. As we observe world conditions today, however, the prospects for victory in that fight are not promising. But they were not bright either when men fell at Bataan and Corregidor and Guadalcanal. The dismal outlook then only spurred them to fight harder until they could fight no more. That the world now enjoys a measure of peace, that some degree of justice has been established where none existed before, that equality among men has been given impetus—all this has resulted largely from their sacrifices. We must strive to protect these gains. With the money now on hand plus what will come in under present tax rates, the state will have sufficient money for all the road construction at can actually undertake in the next few years. If, however, a huge surplus is created through higher taxes it will serve more to build up a pork barrel than it will to build roads. And that isn't so good. USS OKLAHOMA It wouldn't do for such a proud battleship to end her days in the junk yard. It would be much more fitting to go down fighting at sea. But the Oklahoma survived World War I. And when America was suddenly engulfed in World War II the Oklahoma never had a chance to get out to sea. Within 11 minutes after the first Jap bomb hit Pearl Harbor she was lying capsized and mortally wounded. Late last year she was sold for junk and recently the IN THE DAWN JUNE 8, 1872 The closing examination of public schools of this city Thursday and Friday last grand success and a most ing evidence of the complex and efficiency of the school departments.

The dismal outlook then only spurred them to fight harder until they could fight no more. That the world now enjoys a measure of peace, that some degree of justice has been established where none existed before, that equality among men has been given impetus—all this has resulted largely from their sacrifices. We must strive to protect these gains and to advance the world toward the fuller realization of them. True respect for the dead carries with it also the duty to care for the living. To their families and disabled buddies we must continue to give the comfort and assistance they need. They must never be allowed to feel that they have been forgotten or that the Nation's gratitude to them has waned. So, on this Memorial Day let us rededicate ourselves to the task of "binding up the Nation's wounds" and striving for that better world so long sought for and fought for. Any lesser effort would not be worthy of the silent armies that now march unseen. PROTECT OUR FORESTS The unusually dry winter and spring this year will make it all the more necessary for campers, hikers and vacationists to use extreme caution in handling matches or cigarettes or in building fires in wooded areas. Carelessness simply cannot be tolerated—not even a little carelessness. Every person who visits our forests or lives near them should be on the alert to see that he does nothing to endanger them, and he should not hesitate to warn others who do not heed fire prevention practices. Motorists passing through timber areas also have a responsibility to help protect the forests. They should never toss burning cigarettes along the roadside. If the dry grass catches fire it can quickly spread into the trees. And many fires have started that way. The great majority of forest fires would never occur if everyone used care and common sense. Do your part in preventing these unnecessary and tragic conflagrations during this year's dry season—and always. NO NEW ROADS OVERNIGHT With all the arguments about it wouldn't do for such a proud battleship to end her days in the junk yard. It would be much more fitting to go down fighting at sea. But the Oklahoma survived World War I. And when America was suddenly engulfed in World War II the Oklahoma never had a chance to get out to sea. Within 11 minutes after the first Jap bomb hit Pearl Harbor she was lying, capsized and mortally wounded. Late last year she was sold for junk and recently the attempt was made to tow her to San Francisco for dismantling. But she had enough "fight" left in her to break the tow lines and sink at sea. Yes, it wouldn't do for such a proud battleship to end her days in a junk yard. DUNKIRK The elapse of seven years since the "Miracle of Dunkirk" has caused that remarkable event to lose none of its awe-inspiring effect. The story of how more than 300,000 men were rescued from those battered beaches when their capture or destruction seemed incapable will be told long after other events of the war have been forgotten. Millions who prayed for the armies trapped at Dunkirk during those black days of early June in 1940 are convinced that the protecting fog that fell suddenly over the Channel, quite out of season, was not a freak occurrence. They feel, as did Tennyson, that "more things are accomplished through prayer than this world dreams of." At any rate, many thousands live today who appeared doomed to death at Dunkirk.

The governor is looking NO NEW ROADS OVERNIGHT With all the arguments about the need for more taxes to raise more money to build more roads, it appears that one of the biggest questions in connection with the whole matter has yet to be satisfactorily answered. That question is: What are we going to build the roads with? They can't be built with the coin, currency and checks that flow in regardless of how large a highway fund is built up. In other words, it still takes men, machines and materials to do the actual construction. And on this score the outlook is not bright. Writing from Washington, Earl Richert, Scripps-Howard staff writer, reports, "High prices and materials shortages have kept the three-billion dollar post-war building program (the joint Federal-State highway program) in low gear since it started in October, 1945, and there is little prospect of immediate improvement." Proponents of increased gas taxes and of other higher automotive levies keep stressing the point that the state must have more money right away so that roads can be quickly built. But it is quite obvious as Richert points out and as anyone familiar with the present condition of the labor and materials markets knows, that a lot of new roads or extensive road improvements simply can't be accomplished now or in the near future. A petition to move a garage and shed to 705 West Broadway was presented by the Calvary Baptist church, to be used as a work shop for teenage boys. The request was referred to the planning commission. A letter from H. Roy Hamey, manager of the Pittsburgh baseball club, stated his intention of visiting Anaheim. Hamey had previously wired the council inquiring if it was interested in having the Pirates train here next spring. A resolution was adopted to operate the Federal Housing project under "Alternate Plan No 1" which provided for the retaining of federal government funds at the end of the fiscal year to be used for future project expenses. The council adopted a resolution approving a revised estimate contract with the Edison company modifying an agreement of July 1945, for servicing equipment in the 50 to 60 cycle change.
