ANAHEIM GAZETTE McGee Technical Director For Holiday Stage Barry McGee, versatile and experienced theater man, was contacted this week by Holiday Stage, summer stock company, to be technical director again this year for the series of plays to open June 28 in the Tustin high school auditorium. Working as an apprentice backstage after classes and weekends, McGee began his theater career with the Grand Rapids (Michigan) Community Players, while he was in high school. In 1941 the Army interrupted his post-graduation activity which included technical direction with several professional stock companies in upper Michigan state. But even in time of war the theater continued his "first love." Soon he was participating in an all-Army show, the forerunner of Irving Berlin's "This is the Army." With the production at the Coronado theater in Rockford, Illinois, under the title, "We're Telling You," the cast numbered 350 enlisted personnel. It boasted of introducing the jeep in its premier public appearance and was the opening stage play to include WAACs in the cast. Running nightly for three weeks BARRY McGEE to audiences which packed the 3000-seat theater at an admission price of the purchase of one $25 war bond, "We're Telling You" received bids to tour the nation. Army headquarters, however, refused the offers and sent McGee and the cast back to the field for additional training. Recently Barry admitted, "It was hard, hard work doing that show. We would train under the hot sun all day, rush to the theater after chow and do the show until midnight, only to be routed out by the bugle the next morning at 5 o'clock. But show business was in my blood.

Other bold and conscientious companies and individuals—one after another—are seeing their public duty and individual opportunity as one and the same. What's more, they are acting without waiting for somebody else to do something first. Merchants and Manufacturers Act A New Haven baker led the way by cutting bread prices before any commodity prices came down. Three big chains have cut prices on bread, flour, lard, and bacon. Weyerhauser and Anaconda have announced reduction in wire and lumber prices. Philco's recent price cut on refrigerators and radios is another blow at inflation. There are many more. Bankers Help The American Bankers Association and The Savings Bank Association of the State of New York were pleased at General Electric's move against inflation.

Bankers Help The American Bankers Association and The Savings Bank Association of the State of New York were pleased at General Electric's move against inflation. They already had programs under way to encourage consumer education and sober use of credit. Banks in many communities already have special savings drives under way. THE BIG ITEM—THE PRICE OF FOOD—WILL 1. As business leadership furnishes example after example of price reductions that encourage all in the food field to follow—retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, grain dealers, farmers. 2. As each of us resists depending on actions of others, but keeps on doing his individual part. 3. As each of us continues to realize that early price cuts in the food field will not increase supply but may even reduce what's available in this country—if government activities should reduce farm product offerings here. Remember, fighting inflation must still be everybody's to come. And as for G.E., we’ll continue to practice level best to help others, as well as ourselves, in the ANAHEIM WORLD GENERAL E Don Ames Heads New Hi-Y Club Don Ames was elected president of a senior Hi-Y club recently organized at Anaheim Union high school, with Milton Young, popular music teacher, being chosen by the boys as their leader.

Promise of the opportunity for still more progdity prices. But we can’t depend on commodity markets— or us! We have all still got our individual jobs to do if we w simply our increased opportunity to conquer inflation. The Press Urges Others A flood of constructive editorials greeted G.E.’s price move. Time Magazine said, "G.E. touched it off." Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette stated, "G.E. has taken the lead to combat inflation." The Press is urging other companies to join the anti-inflation drive. Wise Unions Agree The New York Daily News has reported: "Labor, too, is doing some solemn and sensible thinking along this line." Typical of such thinking is the resolution of the United Hatters, Cap & Millinery Workers, which said: "We would prefer lower prices to higher wages . . . there is no question that the effect of general wage increases is washed out in the face of rising prices." You Can Help Most We must each resist any feeling that the final defeat of inflation can be handed to us by others. The rising cost of living can be conquered only when each of us does his part. That is to produce more, to buy frugally and practice some self-denial, and to make more new savings while holding on to old savings. Especially must we resist You Can Help Most We must each resist any feeling that the final defeat of inflation can be handed to us by others. The rising cost of living can be conquered only when each of us does his part. That is to produce more, to buy frugally and practice some self-denial, and to make more new savings while holding on to old savings. Especially must we resist using savings from some lowered prices to bid prices of scarce things up still higher. OF FOOD—WILL CONTINUE TO COME DOWN: 4. As each of us buys carefully, avoids waste of foodstuffs, and cuts extra demand through some self-rationing—especially on the items that continue scarce. 5. As each of us saves more just as fast as prices are cut more,—until inflation is finally under control and when our efforts to buy more will no longer run prices back up, as they would now. 6. As each of us keeps firmly in mind that it simply takes all of us, working together, to reduce food prices to a reasonable level. It still be everybody’s principal business for some time continue to practice what we preach. We’ll be doing our as ourselves, in this most important battle of 1948. GE ELECTRIC
