IN THE BEGINNING we didn't start either the first or second World Wars. But we did win both of them. And in the winning of those wars we have suffered immeasurable losses in our own home lands—now the old nations receive first-aid, and America is supposed to eat at the second table. Notwithstanding all we have done in defending and saving the nations of the world we find ourselves listening to our President telling us what to eat. The United States has changed its way of doing business with the outside world. We are putting up our money and our energies, to save Europe and Asia. On top of all our other sacrifices it seems that we are going too far in bally-hooing the new food drive. The President of the United States hasn't convinced most of his neighbors in Washington that the so-called food-savings plan is practical. Isn't it time to wake up to the fact that we have pretty serious problems on our own hands? There is no use kidding ourselves in believing that these new loans to Europe will ever be paid. One well-wisher prophesied: "Repayment of at least part of the funds advanced by the United States will be insisted upon." Oh—how hopeful! What reason is there to give Europe $12,000,000,000 for relief? Our own country, right now, is filled with people staged by our sea force the magnificent way in and the Marines in the strategy and bold exec naval encounters with bring us back from the hasten the day of victory The American flee the English Channel or convoys in the Atlantic the history of our sea Today we salute the valiant ship. May it not fight in defense of our TENS OF THOUSAND from the war. But they hoped and dreamed THE BOYS COME HOME America pays tribal services are held: Eulogy Heads bow in reverence died in war that others All this is very fitting monies and words do not they pay any part of them with them in some degree striving untiringly to justice for which they help for their widows hospitalized buddies the need, The boys are coming is just beginning. Let us HALLOWE'EN We doubt if there witches are going to u Hallowe'en. There's real years past they've always other sacrifices it seems that we are going too far in bally-hooping the new food drive. The President of the United States hasn't convinced most of his neighbors in Washington that the so-called food-savings plan is practical. Isn't it time to wake up to the fact that we have pretty serious problems on our own hands? There is no use kidding ourselves in believing that these new loans to Europe will ever be paid. One well-wisher prophesied: "Repayment of at least part of the funds advanced by the United States will be insisted upon." Oh—how hopeful! What reason is there to give Europe $12,000,000,000 for relief? Our own country, right now, is filled with people who are so poor that they can't buy enough food to eat. Besides there are millions of Americans who can't get proper housing for themselves and families. If this correspondent is going rather "far out on the limb," he is in good company, as a large part of the people in the national capital, who saw our country go on the slide after the first World War, openly object to going back, still worse, after the second World War. Haven't we inflation enough to pull in our horns about sending limitless quantities of food and money to Europe? The best information in Washington indicates that food prices always rise higher as the supply tightens. The fact is that food prices have been jumping so fast that incomes have not kept up with the speed with which food has been juggled—by our own government. Normally, the prices would have turned down long ago, as production has been entirely sufficient. Finally, we went into this war to end wars. And Russia, whom we grub-staked with unlimited supplies of tools, power and munitions of war, has turned out to be our enemy. On the whole the intentions of official and unofficial United States have been well meant, but in our handling of post-war affairs we are right back where old Samuel Johnson said the world was two centuries ago, when he noted that even "hell is paved with good intentions." Hasn't the time come when the United States Government should unite to save "America First?" Our obligation is to our own people and we can't go on grub-staking the world indefinitely. Right now, the Washington bureaucrats are planning to multiply the costs by donating more billions of dollars.—J. E. Jones, Washington, D. C. NAVY DAY Navy Day on October 27 should serve to remind the American people of the necessity for maintaining strong fighting forces. Despite the advances made in the development of atomic weapons and guided missiles, war vessels would unquestionably play a vital part in any conflict in the foreseeable future. Tests which involved the firing of large rockets from the deck of a battleship indicate that instead of modern fleets being made obsolete by new weapons they will be altered so as to fit the pattern of rocket and atomic warfare. Navy Day should also remind us of the great service rendered by our fighting ships and the men who sailed them in the recent world struggle. The remarkable comeback the deck of a battleship indicate that instead of modern fleets being made obsolete by new weapons they will be altered so as to fit the pattern of rocket and atomic warfare. Navy Day should also remind us of the great service rendered by our fighting ships and the men who sailed them in the recent world struggle.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Engaged by our sea forces after the disaster at Pearl Harbor, the magnificent way in which they worked with the Army and the Marines in the long series of landings, the sound strategy and bold execution of the plan of battle in the naval encounters with the Japs—all these factors helped to bring us back from the brink of disaster in the Pacific and hasten the day of victory. The American fleet was also very much in evidence in the English Channel on D-Day, and its service in guarding invoys in the Atlantic wrote another brilliant chapter in the history of our sea warriors. Today we salute the brave men of our Navy and their valiant ship. May it never again be necessary for them to fight in defense of our country. ENDS OF THOUSANDS of American boys are coming home from the war. But they are not coming home in the way they hoped and dreamed they would. There are no screaming sirens, no shrieking whistles, no deep-throated roar from the crowds. The crowds are there but they are silent—silent as the boys who have come back. Loved ones watch through tear-filled eyes. The sorrow of war is felt keenly once again. But there is a satisfaction in having the mortal remains of brothers, sons and husbands back on American soil. America pays tribute to these fallen heroes. Impressive services are held: Eulogies eloquent and simple are spoken, reads bow in reverent remembrance of these fine men who died in war that others might live in peace. All this is very fitting. But let us not forget that ceremonies and words do not pay the debt we owe them. Nor do they pay any part of the debt. We can square our accounts with them in some degree only through our actions, through driving untiringly to preserve the ideals of liberty and justice for which they fought, through providing adequate help for their widows and children, through giving their hospitalized buddies the care and friendly attention they need. The boys are coming home. Their task is done. Ours just beginning. Let us not fail them. ALLOWE'EN We doubt if there is any truth to the report that the pitches are going to use rocket-propelled broomsticks this fallowe'en. There's really no reason why they should. In years past they've always moved fast enough to get away urday appointed by President McKilley to the postmastership of this city, vice Mrs. Gardiner, whose term will shortly expire. Julius Schneider is fumigating on the Thorpe place in West Anaheim. He informs us the fumigating season has been a long one and will probably continue a month yet. A. H. Cargill and Isaac Lyons, two of the prominent horticulturists of the Brookshurst and Orangethorpe districts, were in town Monday morning. Attention is directed to the advertisement of C. S. Sheffield offering 80 acres of land at Miraflores and 46 acres in town at a bargain. Herman Dickel has just received a particularly fine line of imported cheese and other fine groceries. Miss Wilmot Lawrence arrived from San Francisco on Saturday evening to remain for a visit with relatives here. Rev. Stone returned from a brief visit to San Francisco last week in time to occupy his pulpit at the Presbyterian church last Sunday. County Surveyor Kellogg and wife are rejoicing over the advent of a new girl baby at their home in Santa Ana. Will Lawrence came in from Indio on Thursday last for a visit with relatives here. R. L. Fisher has been employed by the city trustees to be city electrical engineer in place of Jos. P. Des Granges, at a salary of $100 per month. 25 Years Ago SAJC Landscape Plans Underway Landscaping of the Ana Junior college can hardly becoming a realization and grading open underway this week. The berry, grass and flower find their way onto teenth street site. Under the direction of Lydia C. Davis, landscapes, plans are beginning shape and will call forth out of trees and shrubs will be both useful and it was disclosed. Designs call for a variety of plants to co-ordinate activities of the college department. Trees and will be placed to meet requirements of the art and departments of the college.

JAMES LOWE AT FORT ORD Pfc. James L.

Parents of the Army man reside at this city. Pfc., enlisted for three years a rating of expert wifes. When in high school longed to the Latin class. Justice for which they fought, through providing adequate help for their widows and children, through giving their hospitalized buddies the care and friendly attention they need. The boys are coming home. Their task is done. Ours just beginning. Let us not fail them. ALLOWE'EN We doubt if there is any truth to the report that the witches are going to use rocket-propelled broomsticks this Hallowe'en. There's really no reason why they should. In years past they've always moved fast enough to get away after performing their "duties." Whether they use the rocket type broomstick or the conventional kind, however, we sincerely hope that they (and the youngsters who help them) will confine their activities to the milder pranks on the evening of October 31. There is lots of fun to be had without damaging anybody's property or creating excessive disturbances. Of course, a lot of strange things are bound to happen in Hallowe'en. Pumpkins with gleaming eyes and sawothed months will peer from windows, and wierd faces and arms of all imaginable descriptions are likely to pop out of any doorway without warning. Store windows will undoubtedly blossom forth with designs defying description. Well, in spite of all these mysterious happenings the town will be just about the same on November 1 as it was the night before (except that some things may look a bit different). And all will be well again—until next Hallowe'en. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago NOVEMBER 2, 1872 Report of the Anaheim public school for the month ending Fri., October 25, 1872.

Certain business buildings on West Center street still protrude eight feet beyond the front property line narrowing the sidewalk and causing much inconvenience to pedestrians. The Dreyfus building at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets which is occupied by the S.Q.R. Store, the Knights of Pythias building on the corner of Lemon and Center, and the building occupied by the Stewart Realty company, Eygabroad and Fisher and the Anaheim Feed & Fuel company, still stick out to the old line. The city cut down the sidewalk in conformance with the new order, making the walk so narrow in front of these buildings that two persons can scarcely walk abreast. The city trustees and City Attorney Weisel are considering the proposal to form an assessment district to raise money to pay the owners of these buildings the cost of cutting down the fronts and for the eight foot strip required for the sidewalks. After being closed several weeks Miss Mary Kuchel met with a serious accident on Thursday last.

A furious west and northwest wind raged on Sunday and gave us considerable dust. This is the first disagreeable wind of the season. After being closed several weeks undergoing repairs caused by the fire, the Fairland theatre again opened to the public last night.
