IT IS AN ACCEPTED FACT that the World’s worst food shortage of modern times is at hand. Senator Vandenberg says that there is need for a special session of Congress before January, to act upon relief to the starving people of Europe. Senator Taft does not favor the extra session. It is the President’s responsibility to call that session, if the Congress is to be reconvened. There is another side of this same question, and that is the high cost of food right here in every part of the United States. There are several million Americans who are working on “slave wages”—and not one of them belongs to a labor union. Thousands of deserving folks don’t get pay enough to buy sufficient food to keep themselves and their families going, no matter how hard they struggle to keep off public relief rolls. So, while the politicians are crying their eyes out about people in foreign lands they should spend more time preventing pyramiding of wages in many industries that have reached the peaks. How can poverty-stricken people pay around a dollar a dozen for eggs, and nearly a dollar for a pound of butter? If you have the answer you are doing better than most of the politicians who are managing our national government. on "slave wages"—and not one of them belongs to a labor union.

CALIFORNIA'S UNPARALLELED GROWTH in population and prestige in recent years has been dazzling, but we must not overlook the need of making our state better as well as bigger. Mere bigness is not enough. In fact, bigness without corresponding betterment in our California economy could intensify undesirable conditions such as inadequate housing and unemployment. With the heavy westward migration continuing it is imperative that California citizens take steps to meet the challenge which the increased population brings to them. A step in this direction is the campaign opened by the state's banks to broaden the economic circle of our state to provide more jobs and homes both for newcomers to California and for those already established here. An important step in this campaign is to further mobilize California's financial resources by encouraging citizens to keep their money on deposit in banks so that it may serve as a basis for loans for housing construction and the expansion of industry. This, of course, does not affect the depositor's ability to draw his money whenever he wishes. California citizens should wholeheartedly support all such efforts as this to make the growth of our state solid and sure so that our progress may continue and our prosperity may endure. THE SATURDAY EVENING POST isn't the only great publication of 50 years ago. Cyrus Curtis bought it for a small pile of dollars. Frank B. Nichols, publisher of The Bath Daily Times told the world a few days ago that his newspaper was born that same year of 1897, and he seems to be a little proud that it is "the smallest daily newspaper in Maine," due to the fact that its field is "definitely circumvented by circumstances of geography and population." It is, nevertheless, true that its news and editorial pages and its make-up and appearance are not eclipsed anywhere in larger-sized cities of New England. Editor Harry C. Webber is featured in the editorial relating "A Half Century" in a way to make you understand that he is another Rock of Gibraltar. For the past ten years The Bath Daily Times has been coming to one of its news and editorial contributors in Washington—and the editorial "we's" in the Capital City offer our congratulations to one of the top newspaper productions in our whole country. The Anaheim Gazette proudly sticks a feather in its hat—we've been here since 1870. DRAFT EISENHOWER? Professional politicians are paying increased attention DRAFT EISENHOWER? Professional politicians are paying increased attention to General Dwight Eisenhower as a possible GOP nominee for the presidency in 1948. No one knows whether or not he is a Republican since military men of his rank have to keep their political sentiments pretty well buried. But "Ike" is from Kansas—probably the strongest Republican state in the nation—and his brothers are Republicans. This doesn't prove anything in regard to him but indicates that he would be more likely to lean toward the GOP than toward the Democratic party. If General Eisenhower turned out to be a Democrat he would be a tremendous asset to them as the vice-presidential nominee. But it is generally acknowledged that he is too powerful a figure to play second fiddle in either party. As for the general, himself, he disavows any presidential aspirations. However, Roy Roberts of the Kansas City Star put it this way: "If, for the first time in history, there was an honest-to-God draft that came from the people without conniving and intrigue, the general would accept." TAXES AT WARTIME PEAKS Do not fail to remember that the recent Congress passed laws to lower rates of taxation and that President Truman vetoed that legislation. The political talk at the time was to the effect that the President would recommend tax reduction before the political pot begins to boil in the Presidential election of 1948. That's a safe bet! The American taxpayers have had tough scratching, trying to keep up with the government. Our national debt is 260 billion dollars, the top of all borrowing in any country. An able authority in Washington says that prices of the United States are high because the world demand is high. And, labor rates have grown because the cost of living has risen. We are buying our own food products and foreign countries are also buying American foods—because they haven't anywhere else to go. We give 'em the money! Unless we find some way of getting back on our feet ANAHEIM GAZETTE IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago SEPTEMBER 28, 1872 The largest political gathering of the season excepting perhaps the occasion of the speaking McConnell and Ganahl some days since was held last Thursday by the Greeley and Ganahl club of Anaheim and vicinity. A splendid American flag floated all day from the flag-fronting the club room, and dusk set in a row of many Chinese lanterns was illuminated, and the soul stirring morsels of "The Star Spangled Banner" and other patriotic tunes gloriously forth upon the rising air from the brazen incidents of the Anaheim band.

Aguilar, Andrew Rimpau this week sheared from a yearling sheep eight pounds of wool, which has all grown within 4½ months, since a previous shearing. Service Clubs Hear of Duties Of Controller (Continued from Page 1) his contract with the state controller was not passed by the legislature, Kuchel said his office now requires the department making a contract for goods or services to file a copy of such contract with it before the claim for payment is approved by the controller for payment. Farm Leader Urges Support Of Junior Fair Support of the Orange County Junior Fair, to be held in Fullerton September 18, 19, 20, has been asked of the public and particularly of the farmers by the president of the county's largest agricultural organization, the Orange County Farm Bureau. Herbert M. Warren, Yorba Linda, himself a young man, urged the public to attend the show and see the outstanding agricultural exhibits as a means of encouragement to the scores of boys and girls who will be exhibiting hundreds of head of livestock and poultry, plus a wide variety of home economic enterprises. Staged in the Amerige ball park in Fullerton, the Orange County Junior Fair will bring before the public a capacity number of feature exhibits and will also provide means of entertainment other than the display of beef, swine, sheep, dairy cattle and miscellaneous animals, Warren pointed out.

Pointing out that the same conditions which interfere normal ways of getting aid with the newcomers brought the state the mass migration in all Giannini said: "California to them in many ways. Our mate, many of our living or many of our ways of doing business, are different from what have been accustomed to." Commenting on surveys showed that hundreds of lands in California today made no banking connection; banking leader brought out "modern life in the American demands that money at work. Money at work work, creates employment pands business, increases or for the products of our farm forests and our factories; pands opportunity for all," phasized "and by thus ex- 50 Years Ago SEPTEMBER 30. 1897 A fire boys had the fire apes out on Saturday evening in the outer permits.

Staged in the Amerige ball park in Fullerton, the Orange County Junior Fair will bring before the public a capacity number of feature exhibits and will also provide means of entertainment other than the display of beef, swine, sheep, dairy cattle and miscellaneous animals, Warren pointed out. "Farm Bureau has been an official sponsor of 4-H Club work in Orange County for many years, but its interest also extends to encouragement of the program of vocational education under the Smith-Hughes Act, familiarly known as the Future Farmers of America," Warren said. "We feel that this is an occasion for the general public to show its support and interest in a fair staged particularly for the young folks and know that attendance of the public not only will assure them of an interesting experience, but will provide further incentives to the young folks in their agricultural work and home economics projects."

Hanson of the Anaheim branch of Bank of America has announced that L. M. Giannini, president of the institution, had called on the bank's statewide organization to launch "Let's Get Better Acquainted" campaign aimed principally in the direction of the three million newcomers who have settled in California in recent years. In an address made by radio to the staff of all branches of the bank throughout California, Giannini declared: "We, as an organization for public service, do not want any feeling of newness or strangeness to cling too long to the new citizens who have joined us to help us all in our ambition to make this a greater state." Pointing out that the same war conditions which interfered with normal ways of getting acquainted with the newcomers had brought the state the greatest mass migration in all history, Giannini said: "California is new to them in many ways. Our climate, many of our living customs, many of our ways of doing business, are different from what they have been accustomed to." Commenting on surveys which showed that hundreds of thousands in California today have made no banking connection, the banking leader brought out that modern life in the American pattern demands that money be kept in work. Money at work makes work, creates employment, expands business, increases demands for the products of our farms, our forests and our factories.
