What Mothers Want Most Next Sunday most American mothers will receive presents of candy, flowers, stationery, wearing apparel or jewelry. Mothers of particularly thoughtful children—or perhaps errant ones trying to atone for a year’s thoughtlessness—may even receive more original gifts. The Mother’s Day custom is a happy one, and the remembrances all are sure to be pleasurably received. But the one present mothers would value above all others none will receive. It is the assurance of continued peace. In the annual report of the Rockefeller Foundation, which operates throughout the world, it is stated that “in all countries, people today are dominated by a passionate hope for peace. They seek a world where men may grow in strength and dignity. They want no world in which war periodically tears to pieces the bright promise of the future. People differ as to means by which our eyes to the cold, hard facts that they are those in the world who respect not else but force.” Senator Vandenberg emphasizes the conviction that peace must include both justice and honor. Butter and margarine met in what likely to be a death battle in Congress at very end of April, when the House moved the margarine measure to the floor for debate in which southern Democrats led the fight for a showdown on the repeal of our margarine taxes. A hundred and thirty Democrats voted for repeal and only nine Democrats against it. Ninety-four Republicans favored repeal as against one hundred and twelve. The Democrats mixed the issue with a move to step-up the markets in southern cotton, which plays an important part in the oleomargarine industry. The Republicans evidently voted to continue to take their butter straight from bossie’s milk-bag. The big power in this battle of the breeds... But the one present mothers would value above all others none will receive. It is the assurance of continued peace. In the annual report of the Rockefeller Foundation, which operates throughout the world, it is stated that "in all countries, people today are dominated by a passionate hope for peace. They seek a world where men may grow in strength and dignity. They want no world in which war periodically tears to pieces the bright promise of the future. People differ as to means by which these ends are to be secured but not in the goal itself." It is almost incomprehensible that there should be war and the threat of war when people the world over loathe war—when mothers the world over want ardently to keep their sons from battle. But the year 1948 has brought no gift of world understanding and peace. On Mother's Day, the usual gifts from the Main Street store will have to do. To the "Youngsters" If "life begins at forty," there are a lot of young people making a name for themselves at a very tender age—some even before they've been born! Two of the prominent presidential aspirants—Dewey and Stassen—are 46 and 41 years of age, respectively. The latter, if elected, would be the youngest man to ever occupy the White House. In the field of atomic energy research one of the most significant advancements since the birth of the atomic age—the detection of mesons—was credited to a couple of scientists, one of whom had reached the ripe old age of 34. The other was 12 years younger. In the realm of business and industry the innumerable young men who have achieved outstanding success makes its evident that management is becoming increasingly willing to make promotions on the basis of ability rather than seniority. Statistics released by the world's largest bank, Bank of America, show that out of approximately 500 branch bank manager, 300 attained their responsible posts before they were 40 and half of these before they were 35. This youthward trend in business is especially encouraging to students in high schools and colleges who are nearing the time when they must leave the classrooms and launch into their life careers. In this modern age of speed the ambitious and capable young man can shift his career into high and move ahead just as fast and as far as his ability will carry him. High Spots in Congress There are few, if any, periods in modern history which include so many events great significance as that which began April 12, 1945 and ended less than a month later on May 8. On the first date President Roosevelt passed away suddenly. Then on April 30 A Hitler is supposed to have met death, on May 8 the shooting war in Europe ended. In checking back over the news reports on V-E Day three years ago this week, were struck by the prediction of oneeign correspondent. He asserted that Russians would use their new position Germany as a springboard in the effort to communize that country and all of Europe. This youthward trend in business is especially encouraging to students in high schools and colleges who are nearing the time when they must leave the classrooms and launch into their life careers. In this modern age of speed the ambitious and capable young man can shift his career into high and move ahead just as fast and as far as his ability will carry him. High Spots in Congress Editor Vandenberg took off his Senatorial gloves back home in Michigan a few days ago, and talked to his neighbors in the language of ye editor. Senator Vandenberg is regarded as a possible choice for President of these United States; but some of us oldsters in the Washington newspaper game would feel very sorry to have him step down from the editorial heights. When he talked to his homefolks the other day he stuck an editorial pen into Stalin's ribs, and told him that "we shall not surrender to Communist conspiracy in the United States." He added a solid warning to Americans: "We are suicidal fools if we do not root out and destroy any treason at home which may bring a world revolution to the United States." He asserted with the force of a double-fisted editor that "we do not propose to be isolated in a world that has been Communized by conquest. We do not shut away." A thirteen-foot high replica of the Great Seal of California, miniatures of Sutter's Fort and Sutter's Mill, and figures of the miners, gamblers, padres, Indians, Chinese coolies and other colorful characters of the gold rush period are outstanding features of a huge float now being constructed by the California Centennial Commission and shown here in an artist's sketch. The float scheduled for completion July 1, will be available to southern California communities for even honoring the state's Gold Centennial. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago MAY 17, 1873 Mr. Columbus Tustin and Mr. N. D. Stafford bought in 1867 a tract of land consisting of thirteen hundred and fifty-nine acres situated about three miles east of the town of Santa Ana and about nine miles from Anaheim. They afterward divided the land equally. Mr. Tustin has this year set out more than 600 acres to orange and other varieties of trees and several thousand vines. Other settlers who have bought land have also set out trees. The land is very fertile and while the surface of the ground appears to be dry, it is really quite moist at a depth of four or five inches. Mr. Tustin has laid out one hundred and twenty acres in city lots and has, at his own expense, built a handsome school house. The average attendance of scholars is twenty. A large hotel has also been erected and a postoffice established at which the San Diego and Los Angeles stage stops every day. Mr. N. T. Harris is postmaster. As irrigation is necessary during the summer, no matter how wet the winter is, the settlers of that section have commenced work upon their own ditch to bring water from the Santa Ana river.

It is interesting to listen to the conversation of Col. Warner. The colonel is one of the institutions of southern California and from his habits of close and critical observation of men and things knows of what he speaks in discussing either the history of thirty years ago, or physical changes that have occurred during that time.

The land is exceedingly rich and like that of its nearby neighbor, Richland, is adapted for the growing of fruit. On Wednesday a four-horse team, belonging to Mr. Bixby of Los Cerritos, ran away just after leaving Anaheim Landing.

By replacing the dark-colored lining in a lamp shade with a white lining, you can get up to twice as much light without using additional electricity! There are two ways of doing this: Spray or paint parchment shades with white or light-colored paint, or roll the lamp shade on white paper and pencil mark to cut, as shown. Then fit the lining into the shade and fasten the seam with scotch tape. For fabric shades, use white or light material. E. C.
