Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 TWO YEARS AGO on that unforgettable August 14th we all waited for the fateful hour of four o'clock. It seemed a certainty that the Japs had thrown in the sponge officially. But until four when the President's press conference was to be held we couldn't be positive. Came the hour—and peace; Well, it wasn't unexpected but from that moment on for the next three or four days the whole country went on a sort of emotional binge. All the pent up tension of the war years suddenly found release. People shouted and cried and prayed and marched in the streets and threw confetti—and a lot of other things—and acted zany in general. Finally, the spree was over and we all settled down to enjoy the newly-won peace. But peace didn't turn out to be quite what we had expected. Probably the reason was that world conditions were not peaceful. Fighting broke out in Indonesia. The Chinese kept on battling among themselves. There was shooting in the Philippines. Palestine and India continued to seeth. Russia's conduct toward her allies was not friendly. Even at home we had a first class brannigan between management and labor that dealt the nation a blow from COLOR IS ONE OF NATURE Can you imagine a garden whose trees are dressed with splashes of red and orange monotony meals would be better.

They're people get a glimpse of war by the contrast—a contr propaganda. Active Communists has never been equal to power by capitalism. And the communist leaders. suddenly found release. People shouted and cried and prayed and marched in the streets and threw confetti—and a lot of other things—and acted zany in general. Finally, the spree was over and we all settled down to enjoy the newly-won peace. But peace didn't turn out to be quite what we had expected. Probably the reason was that world conditions were not peaceful. Fighting broke out in Indonesia. The Chinese kept on battling among themselves. There was shooting in the Philippines. Palestine and India continued to seeth. Russia's conduct toward her allies was not friendly. Even at home we had a first class brannigan between management and labor that dealt the nation a blow from which it has not yet recovered. To sum it all up, we found out after August 14, 1945 what had been discovered after November 11, 1918, namely, that the mere declaration of peace doesn't automatically bring peace. We've learned that the fight for peace is not over—it has just begun. And we've learned that this fight is a harder one, in the final analysis, than any military operation. But we must win the peace. We must win it through a courageous stand for the right as we see it both at home and abroad. We must win it through wise, not impulsive, action. We must win it through faith not merely in material might but in that Power which inspired the founding of our country and has preserved it through the years. UNION LABOR BOSSES were riding high-horses at the end of 1946, and there was always a strike somewhere in the United States. Congress accepted the challenge and worked out a new labor bill. Labor bosses were so defiant that the courts were called on to defend law and order. The coal miners suffered well-deserved judicial spankings. John L. Lewis never let up until "his ears were pinned back." He and other bosses missed the support of FDR, who always selected new boards, mediators—and puppets, and kept watch over them until they won all the strikes for the strikers. The less temperamental Truman "sat tight" and agreed to let Congress "do something about it." But when the only sane labor legislation since the passage of the Wagner Act was passed up to the President he caved-in and vetoed the legislation. Whereupon the Congress overrode the veto. The bosses sputtered and threatened—but now they are beginnig to behave. A few weeks have passed. Employers and employees are getting along much better and there is every prospect that rules of reason—collective bargaining and conciliation will "come back" in time. The wage levels are not likely to go higher. Price levels are apparently being set to a level with wages. These levels will be permanent in all kinds of large and small business. A dollar bill will never be worth 100 cents again. And the taxes that big and little people and business institutions "used-to-pay" will never come again. It will be $10 to the $1 of old-times. AT THE BEGINNING of the 1947 session of Congress, the Republicans started out to upset the so-called Reciprocal Trade Act, which Cordell Hull sold to the world as a substitute for the Democratic policy of free trade.

And the taxes that big and little people and business institutions "used-to-pay" will never come again. It will be $10 to the $1 of old-times. AT THE BEGINNING of the 1947 session of Congress, the Republicans started out to upset the so-called Reciprocal Trade Act, which Cordell Hull sold to the world as a substitute for the Democratic policy of free trade. The Republican Congress changed its mind and decided to let the scheme live awhile longer. There were so many International blunders that have been given our blessings that one more won't make much difference. As a matter of fact, the Republican leaders raised the truce flag for fear that the United States might lose some of its prestige in Europe. It doesn't seem to matter how much these political free trade policies cost the United States, because the Administration and Congress have been voting away millions and billions of dollars for so long a time that they don't know how to quit. A leading columnist, in discussing trade treaties, offers the half-cooked suggestion that if Hull's free trade scheme is ditched it will be an indication that Congress has gone "isolationist." Maybe that wouldn't be a bad way out of the mess we are in. ALONG WITH ITS GROWING POPULATIONS has come a growing crime problem in California. Recent gangland slays have spotlighted the fact that underworld "big shots" have joined in the westward migration. Now the state wants to find out just what crime conditions are and what can be done to prevent further growth of lawlessness. Accordingly, five special commissions are going to delve into the various phases of crime in California. The commissions' work however, will be wasted unless civic groups and law enforcement agencies strive to correct the weaknesses in our present methods of combatting crime which the survey probably will uncover. On his recent visit to California FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover put his finger on one cause for increasing crime out here when he said, "Hoodlums seldom come to a place where they are unwelcome or where it is unprofitable. . . They thrive where citizens are not particularly alert to improved law enforcement—I don't mean only in police departments, but among judges, probation officers and parole board members." COLOR IS ONE OF NATURE'S FINEST GIFTS Can you imagine a gay vacation in dull, drab mountains whose trees are dressed in grey? Or can you picture your ever garden without its delicate tints here, its vividishes of red and orange there? And think of food. What potony meals would be without color! Yet there are those who would make the public believe that color is privately owned, either by one industry—or in more restricted sense by old bossie, the cow. But we know better. Cows haven't a priority on the color, yellow. Her food turns the intensity of that color in butter. Furthermore, but butter has to be artificially colored, which results in many people being misled because they think that a bright brown indicates a higher Vitamin A content. Many people have also been led to falsely believe that a color wafer enclosed in each package of vitaminized marine contains Vitamin A; however, the 15,000 units of Vitamin A contained in leading margarines are mixed in the margarine itself. The color wafer is made of harmless vegetative matter, approved by the Pure Food and Drug Administration, and, incidentally, is the same coloring used in butter. So, we repeat, ain't nature wonderful? COMMUNIST WORRIES The Moscow Government would have the world believe that virtually all Soviet citizens are sold on communism and couldn't have anything else—if they could. But reports coming out of Austria from dependable sources declare that there has been a serious disaffection long Russian occupational troops there and that many of them don't want to return to Russia. It appears that they've come "contaminated" with capitalism. This report indicates why Soviet leaders are so determined to keep the iron curtain closed tightly. They reali-that capitalism has brought to many countries a living standard not likely to be achieved by the Russians for years come—if ever. They realize, too, that when any of their people get a glimpse of what goes on outside they are struck at the contrast—a contrast not easily explained away by paganda. Active Communists are a zealous lot but all their zeal never been equal to producing the economic fruits creat-By capitalism. And this is no small source of worry to communist leaders. 25 Years Ago AUGUST 17, 1922 George Strobel was in town this week from his ranch at Hanford, Kings county, where he is engaged in raising peaches. He is a son of Major Max Strobel, who was formerly mayor of this city and has many old friends here. His brothers, Duke and Loumay, are in Hanford, and Otto Strobel is in the blacksmith business in Hawthorne. While in town George told a story of Guy Barham. Major Strobel went to London in 1872 to sell Catalina Island to a syndicate of English capitalists. He was interested in the island with James Lick of San Francisco, Governor Downey and others. While in London he fell dead of apoplexy. When the distressing news arrived the family was heartbroken. George sat weeping on the front steps of his father's house on Lemon street and Guy Barham who lived nearby on Broadway, came over to console him. He said, "Maybe if your father had not gone to London he would not have died." George read of Guy's death in the Gazette some months ago, and observed that if Guy had not gone to London he perhaps would not have died. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Falkensteen and daughter, Edith, have returned home after a five-months' tour of Europe. They had a pleasant visit but say the most enjoyable part of the trip was reaching home again, safe, sound and in good health.

WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLAS The first session of the 80th Congress ended, as the leadership predicted, on Saturday the 26th. Perhaps I'm not entirely correct in calling it Saturday for it was 32 minutes after midnight in the House, and about two hours later in the Senate. That is the first time in 18 years the Congress has run into Sunday, and the adjournment resolutions had to be hastily recalled and changed from Saturday, the 26th, to Sunday the 27th. A year ago, the session just died away, quorum calls showed fewer and fewer members, and finally there was no more work to do, and practically nobody on hand to do it! This year, the membership was on hand in surprisingly large number, and during recesses, while we waited for bills to come back from the other end of the Capitol, the members were on the floor, singing or talking. We have some good voice in the House, and almost everybody sang—members, pages, attaches and press gallery. In previous years I've left rather quickly for home, dumping the last few weeks' mail, and some things still to do, into the "official" trunks, which are bigger than Army lockers, and which we send by mail, and then spending the rest of the summer trying to sort out the papers and determine what to do about them. This time your Congressional office adopts a new system. I expect to keep the staff intact until after the tenth of August. There are letters to write, various matters to straighten out, and contacts to make here about District problems. I hope for a clean desk when I leave. Well, it doesn't hurt then on to California, for a farm meeting in August 26. By this slow we'll probably be in Sanford for the State Fair, Sept then home. I want to get around trict. However, I'll have string to every acceptance. We may have a spionage.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dunley and Mrs. Rushton left on 10 o'clock train to join them the seaside, driving over in the large running thence from El Centro. Miss Lillian Robison will start dancing class next month and secured the dining room of Del Campo for that purpose. Miss Robison has lately taken a course of training in the terpsiphorean art in Los Angeles and being a graceful dancer will no doubt succeed in the undertaking. W. J. Smith and his two daughters, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Barman of Los Angeles visited at Catalina during the past week. Mr. Gade runs a bus to the Landing every Sunday and last Sabbath had quite a number of passengers going down to the beach for the day. Miss Lucretia Richards of San Gabriel is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Adolph Rimpau. Sam Kraemer was in town Friday regaling his friends with 10 centers and incidentally remarking that it was a girl, who arrived on the 9th. Sam has five children now, three boys and two girls. The Hill boys are hauling great loads of barley from the La Habra ranch and storing it at the Griffith warehouse. Barley is worth 75 to 80 cents and competent judges predict it will go to a dollar before long. C. C. Chapman is shipping a car of valencia oranges from his orchard in Placentia this week. C. W. Almes of Placentia is talking of going to the Klondyke. Jake Vetter is celebrating the arrival of a new son and heir, the youngster making his appearance at 3 o'clock Sunday morning. Ronny's Dress Shop Opens Here In a newly remodeled modernistic setting, Ronny's, 110 West Center street, swung open its doors for business Wednesday.

Mr. and Mrs. Lee Eicholtz motored down to Long Beach Sunday. They were accompanied by Mrs. Emma O'Rourke of San Bernardino. Dr. C. D. Ball, candidate for the Republican nomination for assemblyman, was in town from Santa Ana Tuesday. Dr. Ball is one of the best known citizens of the county, coming here thirty-five years ago. He took a prominent part in county division and has been one of the county's foremost citizens during his long residence here. He is an uncompromising Republican, is thoroughly familiar with affairs of the county and would prove a valuable representative at Sacramento, both for Orange county and the state of California. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Frantz were taking in the sights at the beaches Sunday. Fred Yoern has taken out a permit to build a residence on West Brooklyn. "CHANEL" UN-NUMBERED DECORATES UPHOLSTERY Some free samples of "Black Magic," perfume extreme, presented to Anaheim citizens last week by a well-known drug store, found their way into the car seat of a prominent county flyer Monday morning.

By this slow process, we'll probably be in Sacramento for the State Fair, September 5, then home. I want to get around the district. However, I'll have to tie a string to every accepted invitation. We may have a special session. Speaker Martin thinks not; I wouldn't be surprised. The Appropriations Committee will put on much needed investigations of several agencies, including agriculture, and others in which I'm interested. I may have to come back here, during the recess. The Independent Offices subcommittee will look into the work of the Atomic Bomb Commission. Several committees including one from Public Lands, inspecting irrigation matters, and one from Agriculture, preparing itself for the long-program-hearings, will be in California, and I want to see these committees as they go through southern California. I'll have to conserve time and energy, for I'll admit frankly, that like all Congressmen, I am tired, and charging the physical batteries is an important recess job. My committee will definitely be back at work, in Washington, by December 1, if not before. Your first question will be, how did we come out on the effort to cut the budget 6 billions? The House said we could cut 6 billions, the Senate hoped 4½. The actual cuts off budget estimates were $3,049,882,785; however, the changes in estimates and the rescisions of money previously appropriated, added $3,995,742,090.19.

Izaak Waltons Have Good Catch Seventy-nine barracuda, three white sea bass and one halibut were caught by 17 members of the Anaheim Izaak Walton league Tuesday during the regular charter boat trip on the "Happy Landings" skippered by Ernie Lane out of King's Landing, Newport, Walton spokesmen reported.
