Printing Week It is useless to point out the part the art of printing plays in our world today—everyone thinks he knows. However, it might be apt to speculate on what a restaurant’s patrons and cook would do without anything to cook, or anything to cook in, or anything in which to serve the phantom meal. We venture to suggest that the patrons would not eat. And the same goes for the readers of the printed page. But on a much broader scale. For printing is the one indispensable link, the one broad avenue, in our communication with one another. The records of commerce and industry, the journals of news and opinion, the expression of political ideals—all these rest upon the broad base of the art of printing. January 11-17 has been designated as Printing Week throughout the United States and Canada. It is well that we all pause a moment to review the progress in the art since the invention of movable type. It is surprising to think just what it means in our daily lives. “May the Lord ... inspire us with prudence in this time of danger ... and unite us all, of whatever sect or nation, in one body of peace, brotherly love and generous care the Marshall Plan making the general recommendation except for the important fact that the Marshall form called for a 17-billion dollar “target” to pledged instanter by the United States government. Fortunately, a couple of able editors copied important posts in Congress. Or Joe Martin of Massachusetts, Speaker of House of Representatives. The other editor is Senate Foreign Relations Chair Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan. The two editor-statesmen insist that the president has no legal right to make appropriations for relief for four years. Congress seems to agree that its job is to approve 6.8 billion dollars at the present time to the European aid plan in motion. Belief or not, President Truman agreed, and there seems to be no objection from Secretary State George C. Marshall, author of Marshall Plan. What this Federal Government needs more editors and fewer lawyers in charge of the United States. The signs are encouraging, because they will be closer attention given to plans legislation for the United States of America—and—to be perfectly non-partisan and free about it," we must keep the Republican January 11-17 has been designated as Printing Week throughout the United States and Canada. It is well that we all pause a moment to review the progress in the art since the invention of movable type. It is surprising to think just what it means in our daily lives. "May the Lord . . . inspire us with prudence in this time of danger . . . and unite us all, of whatever sect or nation, in one bond of peace, brotherly love and generous public spirit. . . and give peace in all our borders." The patron saint of printing, Benjamin Franklin, who described himself as "that humble printer of Philadelphia" wrote those lines as part of a prayer intended for his own time. It is curious that his words should have such an immediate application today. The International Association of Printing House Craftsmen and the Orange County Master Printers Association are this year celebrating Franklin's birth date, January 17, and designating the week January 11-17 as Printing Week. Throughout the United States and Canada meetings will be held to commemorate the art of printing, and citizens everywhere will pause briefly to consider what printing has meant to our modern world. For indeed, printing plays the indispensable part in the dissemination of news, in the expression of political ideals, in the records of commerce and industry. It broadens the scope of everything it touches, it is vital to the up-building and sustaining of business through advertising. Since its establishment in 1870, the Anaheim Gazette has endeavored to bring to this city, county and its readers, the truth in the news and that which would build up our interest in reading habits. AFL Chasing Rainbows One of the strangest moves in Union Labor circles is led by William Green, head of AFL who has replaced John L. Lewis as the foe of the Taft-Hartley labor law. Green says he expects to raise a fund of at least $8,000,000 for the purpose of a political drive to unseat all members of Congress who supported the Taft-Hartley Act and to elect new members more favorable to labor. Major efforts also will be made in those states which have adopted measures restrictive of labor unions. One unanswered question is whether the AFL will support a presidential candidate. The answer probably will not be forthcoming until after the Republicans and Democrats have nominated their candidates next summer. Strike Problem to Appeals Board By HENRY C. MacARTHUR (Western News Service) An appeal to the courts to wipe out decision of the California Unemployment Surance Appeals Boards which provides for state financing of strikes with master contracts are in effect, will be within a short time. This was announced today by Gilford Rowland, attorney representing the San Mento Wholesale Bakers Association. Land said the association will ask for a mandate in each of the approximately 300 cases to prevent the appeals board charging the reserve accounts of the ployers involved with the funds paid to strikers. The point at issue, the attorney said, involves the broad question of whether state of California shall finance wide strikes with moneys contributed to unemployment insurance fund by emploi which the law specifically holds is for relief of suffering caused by unemployed. Further, he said, the law provides specially that insurance shall not be paid to strikers. In its bakery case decision, the maiden of the appeals board, which consists of land C. McGettigan, Santa Rosa; Micha Kunz, Sacramento, and Hiram Johnson San Francisco, held the Bakery and fectionery Workers union of Sacramento struck only one member of the association the rest of the employers had "locked the workers. Rowland called attention to the which states an individual is not eligible insurance "if he left his work because trade dispute, and for the period which he continues out of work by of the fact that the trade dispute is active progress in the establishment in he was employed." Johnson, holding this phrase meant it said dissent from the majority o to unseat all members of Congress who supported the Taft-Hartley Act and to elect new members more favorable to labor. Major efforts also will be made in those states which have adopted measures restrictive of labor unions. One unanswered question is whether the AFL will support a presidential candidate. The answer probably will not be forthcoming until after the Republicans and Democrats have nominated their candidates next summer. Meanwhile, an AFL leader said that John L. Lewis, before he took his United Mine Workers out of the AFL last month, asked for the leadership of the political league as the price of peace. The proposal was made after the October convention of the AFL when Mr. Lewis broke openly with federation leadership. When the Lewis suggestion met with silence at AFL headquarters, the miners' leader sent the blunt "We disaffiliate" note to Mr. Green. Last week Mr. Lewis informed the 600,000 UMW members that the final break with the federation was caused by the "increasing hostility" toward the union of the small group" of men who control the AFL. Mr. Lewis was one of those primarily responsible for the establishment of the education and political organization. Revising the Marshall Plan The White House and Capitol Hill have "taken a tumble to themselves." As the new Congress whirled into action a pair of editors informed several hundred lawyer Senators and Representatives that there is no law of God or man that makes it possible for Congress to carry through its plan to dump 17-billion dollars in one swoop to carry on the Marshall Plan for four years. Congress must legislate for its own period of time, and leave future legislation to future Congresses. In the beginning Herbert Hoover made an inquiry into the European aid plan and recommended to President Truman that the United States should meet its full obligations "to help Europe help itself.' Then Rowland called attention to the fact that states an individual is not eligible insurance "if he left his work because trade dispute, and for the period which he continues out of work by of the fact that the trade dispute is active progress in the establishment in he was employed." Johnson, holding this phrase meant it said, dissented from the majority of He maintains that in an association master contract is in effect, a strike against one employer is a strike against the membership of the association. It is on this point, Rowland said, that will base his appeal for a writ of malice. Calling attention to the fact that past ten years, employers have joined together for purposes of negotiating contracts with labor unions for collective bargaining, Rowland said that if the board decision is allowed to stand, California industry which has such a contract is threatened. "In the bakery case," he said, "generally conceded that a strike against member was a strike against all men. In fact, the union negotiated solely with secretary of the association, and did any time notify an individual employee his plant would be struck." If labor chose to use this weapon state-wide basis, it could effectively virtually all California industry on money, as most of the industries have contracts. The point at issue is new in the interpretation of the unemployment rate act, Rowland said, and for this it may go to the state supreme court a decision finally is secured. The assoc he said, is prepared to carry the case high court if necessary, as operation the decision would force major changes in collective bargaining, and might go as to break up employer association that purpose. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago JANUARY 25, 1873 Mr. F. H. Adams of the late firm of Bemis & Adams, well borers, proposes to bore for artesian water in Anaheim in order that the vineyards may not be dependent upon the supply to be obtained from the Santa Ana river. Fischer's forty acre lot, on the northeast corner of town has been selected as the highest point, and five hundred dollars have already been subscribed. This is a project that if successfully accomplished, would be of great benefit to the citizens of Anaheim and should receive the hearty cooperation of everyone. A subscription list can be found at the Planters Hotel. J. B. Stone has set out twenty acres of his farm in vines. E. S. Saxton is preparing 50 acres of the tract recently purchased by him for a vineyard. He will have twenty-five acres in vines, chiefly foreign, encircled by a belt of orange, lemon, olive and poplar trees. Last Sunday morning the saloon of George Miller on Center street was burglarized to the tune of seventy dollars and two Colts revolvers. The thieves gained access to the saloon through a window which they easily pried open and cut the lock from the money drawer with a pruning knife which they found in the saloon. No trace of the thieves has been found. Resolved that all parties interested in said company, who have not paid their dues and assessments by February 1, 1873, shall be stricken from our list without further notice. Resolved that $3 per acre be charged for every acre, as per written application, stating the situation of the land. Terms, one-half cash and one-half payable in six months. Resolved that the regular meetings of the board be held every Saturday at 3 o'clock p.m.—A. Heyerman, secretary. Sailed—From Anaheim Landing on January 18, the schooner "Cora."

No trace of the thieves has been found. Our worthy host of the "Planters," John Fischer, entertained his many friends on Wednesday evening. It was the anniversary of his birthday which must have happened nearly fifty years ago. May you live, old friend, to see the realization of "The future of Anaheim, one hundred years hence," as foreshadowed by the Anaheim Gazette. We have sent to San Francisco for a new Gordon job press and several fonts of the latest styles of type. Our friends who may favor us with their orders can rely on having this work done as neatly and cheaply as in San Francisco. We ask those who have already given us their orders to wait a time with patience until we receive our press. We were the happy recipients of a dish of luscious strawberries grown in the garden of Mrs. Parker near Anaheim. The smallest one in the lot measured three inches in circumference. Mrs. Parker has some of the plants for sale. A letter to the Los Angeles Star from Riverside gives the particulars of a fire which occurred at that place last Wednesday morning, whereby the house of Rev. J. W. Atherton of that city was burned to the ground with all its contents. Loss about $2000, no insurance. At an adjourned meeting of the board of trustees of the Anaheim Water company, held January 20, 1873, the following resolutions were passed and ordered to be published: 25 Years Ago JANUARY 25, 1923 Building a house of worship in a day is an accomplishment that even Anaheim can boast of, although muchroom houses are common here, and things are done in the way of inmovements with and beauty of Anaheim met at the Anaheim hotel on Wednesday last and gave themselves up to the delicious windings of the "mazy."

This defeat which could easily have been avoided with a proper knowledge of the strength of the enemy, will certainly be followed by raids against the settlers in the vicinity of the battle ground. Our troops lost forty killed and wounded and are now trying to protect the settlements until they can be reinforced. The weather was foggy and the Modocs were entrenched behind rocks. The howitzers could not be used. The circus will be here on Tuesday evening. We give them this free ad, through pure generosity. The fact of our wanting a free ticket has nothing to do with it. Services will be held in the Catholic church by the Rev. Philip Farley on Feb. 16, 1873. Elsewhere in our columns will be found the advertisement of Jas. H. Ellison and J. B. Pierce, who have nice glean rye for sale at reasonable rates. Mr. C. A. Gardner left Anaheim Tuesday. He will locate somewhere in Napa Valley, where he is about to purchase a vineyard. Major Henry Hancock passed through town from San Bernardino yesterday. Alfalfa and all kinds of fresh garden seeds can be had at Stein-hart & Bros. Messrs. Dreyfus, Hecht, Frowenfeld and Huntington are on the steamer and will arrive today.

Monday morning many truckloads of lumber were stacked around the vacant lot belonging to O'Ree Reese, at the corner of Helema, and Chestnut streets, and the evening of the same day the lot was covered by a substantial auditorium which will be devoted to church purposes. A small army of men attacked the stacks of lumber in the morning and before the 5 o'clock whistle blew they had converted the raw material into a building. This house is called a tabernacle by the Christian church people and is for temporary use only. The congregation found itself without a home when the old church site on the corner of Helena and Center streets was sold and decided to build a temporary structure for use until the new church can be built. All the carpenters and painters in the city declared Monday a holiday and in a body assisted by twenty members of the church tackled the huge piles of lumber. The building grew as if the genii of Aladdin's lamp had been employed. A chicken dinner served by the ladies of the Christian church rewarded the willing workers who labored without money and without price. C. R. L. Vawter, the famous evangelist will hold a series of revival meetings in the tabernacle, beginning Sunday. Max Nebelung obtained a decision in the superior court last week quieting title to property on South Lemon street which he and Frank Shanley purchased twenty years ago. Mr. Nebelung recently sold the property to the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association, and when the certificate of title was received from the abstract company it was shown that title vested, not in B. F. Seibert and wife, from whom he purchased the property, but in one Dimond, whom nobody ever heard of. He brought action to quiet title, and this was obtained without trouble, Dimond failing to appear. It is believed that Seibert bought the property of Dimond, but failed to have the purchase recorded. Seibert had been in the banking business here and was a man of considerable wealth. Earl Abbey, deputy county clerk, almost had an attack of palpitation of the heart Monday when Clara Phillips applied for a marriage license. Abbey gave the woman the once over and then consulted a photo of the notorious Los Angeles hammer murderer. He decided the woman before him was not the much-wanted Clara, and hastened to fill out the license because, he said, the sooner that woman changed her name the better it would be for her and all related to her. This Clara lives at Taft and soon changed her name to Mrs. Harry Hanford. Mr. and Mrs. George Jackson and Mrs. Eva Boyd attended a meeting of the O. E. S. at Long Beach Friday night.

All morning my subcommittee has been listening to the President's economic council justify their appropriation request. It was entertaining. Did you ever read "The First Men on the Moon," written by H. G. Wells a generation ago? Life was so organized that the moon's inhabitants were developed from birth for predetermined occupations. Some were developed as thinkers. The greatest thinker of all, the Grand Luner, thought so hard he had to have his enormous head sprayed with soothing and cooling vapors. I asked the economic advisors: What did you advise the president about fertilizer? The farmers discovered during the war that certain fertilizers would increase production to offset rising costs. When the State and War Departments wanted fertilizer for use in foreign countries, they told the Congress they would take only 10 or 15 percent of our production. They are taking more than 15 percent; they take it when they want it, not 15 percent out of each months production, so some areas are seriously shorted for fertilizer just when they need it, and there are at least three plants, owned by the government, now shut down. The council said they had told the President that taking fertilizer would have an impact on the economy of the country, but that the need here would have to be weighed against the foreign need. They hadn't men- rather than above it, not to mention keeping the west from producing steel. The council said they had advised the President that less steel was produced than was needed for foreign and domestic consumption, and that if we shipped steel abroad, we would have to deduct this from the domestic use. They also said there were shortages of railroad cars and of scrap. They did not, however, advise on those points. I presume they, too, were "administrative." I think one 'phone call to Pittsburg would have covered that one, and a local call (no long distance charge) to Colonel "Steamboat" Johnson of the Interstate Commerce Commission, would have secured some suggestions about cars, in language which any railroad man would have understood, but which might have melted the wire. As to scrap, anyone who reads the papers knows we are desperately trying to get back scrap from Europe and from the Orient. Then I asked about using surplus foods, instead of scarce wheat, which is forcing up food prices. Wheat is an agricultural barometer. We need a nutritional balance. The Commodity Credit Corporation has millions in dried eggs, dried milk, dried peaches, and other items, rotting in warehouses, while the government buys scarce grains. Citrus, and raisins, and other commodities are in surplus. What did the council recommend to the President? They said buying grains had a tendency to increase the impact on the domestic economy: to you and me that means increased inflation. They had said nothing about using surplusses. But the choice bit, which I've been saving for you, is this literal quotation from the chairman's reply to my question about steel: “If you lump them into general categories, you blur all the peculiarities of the differences between the separate lines of production.” Now you know why I said I am beginning New Proposals on Ballot By EARL G. WATERS (Western News Service) One of the proposals to be contained on the ballot come election time will be a constitutional amendment granting the legislature the right to fix its members' salaries. Under the constitution at present the salary of legislators is fixed at $1,200 per year, stipend which most persons concede is ridiculously low in view of the amount of time members must give to legislative affairs. Various proposals to increase that salary have been on the ballot almost every election and all have been defeated. During the war, the members took things in their own hands and voted an expense allowance during the legislative session of $10 per day. In addition, members serving on interim committees receive a per diem allowance of $15 for each day of committee work, plus travel expenses. These interim committee expenses, plus the per diem allowance, have augmented the legislators $1,200 considerably. A tabulation of the total money collected by each of the 120 members of the legislature claimed by Senator Harold J. Powers of Modoc county. Powers is president pro tem of the senate and chairman of the rules committee. For these reasons he is required to attend many committee meetings between sessions. Other two high senators were George Hatfield of Merced with $4,325.84, and Jesse Mayo of Angels Camp with $4,147.62. The three senators claiming the least remuneration were Chris N. Jesperson, $2749.90; Thomas McCormack, $2689.50; and H. E. Dillinger, $2513.86. In the lower house, Assemblyman Richard McCollister walked away with the honors for the highest amount to be claimed by any member of either house with a bill for $5,888.07. His nearest competitor in the assembly was James G. Crichton who collected $5,408.71. Other assemblymen who collected more than $4,000 for the year's work but less than $5,000 were: Randal Dickey, Ralph C. Dills; Francis Dunn, Thomas Erwin, Vernon Kilpatrick, Alfred Robertson, Vincent Thomas, and John Thompson. Assemblyman Allen G. "Scoop" Thurman collected the least, $2,582.20, of any member in their own hands and voted an expense allowance during the legislative session of $10 per day. In addition, members serving on interim committees receive a per diem allowance of $15 for each day of committee work, plus travel expenses. These interim committee expenses, plus the per diem allowance, have augmented the legislators $1,200 considerably. A tabulation of the total money collected by each of the 120 members of the legislature for 1947 shows that the 40 members of the senate received a total of $126,861.37, while the 80 members of the lower house collected $264,766.54. This means that each senator averaged $3,121.50 while their lower house colleagues averaged the slightly higher figure of $3,309.50. Highest amount to be claimed by any senator for the year's work was the $4,993.18 A permit was granted to B. F. Wilson to build a residence on Cherry street to cost $4000, and to T. A. Williams for a $4000 residence on South street. Chas. Eygabroad also has a permit to build a house and garage on Cherry street to cost $3000. The Star Whist club met Friday at the Masonic temple with Mrs. J. W. Sackett and Mrs. Charles Turner as hostesses. At the card games Mrs. Sackett won first prize, Mrs. L. Dahlman second, Mrs. J. A. Clayes third and Mrs. Chas. Mann fourth. Past Commander Sampson, Adjutant Cohen, Jack Hebson and Walter Altnow attended the meeting the Orange county council at Orange on Wednesday night. The Legion is arraying itself against fakers who pose as World War veterans and solicit money from the public by all sorts of schemes. A plan is under consideration to assist the officers of the law in punishing these frauds, who are gulling the generous public. When the force of seven colored men, waiters and kitchen help, struck at the Elks cafe Friday evening, just before dinner, they expected to demoralize the service, cause much inconvenience to the guests and anguish to the manager, Bob Wilson. But theft effort was a failure. George Hup, the new chef and his wife took charge of the kitchen, and several prominent Elks including Doc Barnes and Tom McFadden, donned immaculate aprons and waited upon tables. It is reported they gave satisfactory service and pocketed a number of generous tips. The Business and Professional Women's club will serve a dollar dinner to the members at tonight's meeting at the Elks club house. The dinner will be seved at 6:30. Mrs. J. Helmsen spent the first part of the week in the Imperial Valley looking after her extensive land interests in that thriving section. Anaheim last week shipped twenty-four car loads of navel oranges to the eastern market. Miss Ruth Grim came home some days ago from the north where she has been ranching. Dr. and Mrs. Wickett send word that they have just completed a tour of China on their world trip and are having an enjoyable time. Walter Crowther died Thursday at his Placentia home at the age of 52 years. He leaves a wife, a brother, Ed Crowther, and a sister, Mrs. Ruby Kitchen of Beverly Hills. LICENSE TO WED Applying for a marriage license were James Leroy Bolte of Anaheim and Patricia Nadine Cornhardt of Santa Ana, last Thursday, at the county court house in Santa Ana.
