The Class of '48 To a million or more young Americans, school days will soon be but a memory. All that remains for them to do is pack up their books, pick up their sheepskins, and select the one in the class "most likely to succeed." Then they will set forth with great enthusiasm (and some trepidation) to carve out careers for themselves in their chosen fields. We wish them well. Fortunately for them, as for other graduates in recent years, they will find a ready market for their talents. American industry, now bending every effort to meet the enormous demands upon it, is scanning the army of graduates for those with ability and imagination. These young people should not assume, however, that because of the prevailing situation, success will come to them automatically. The same qualities and habits which have been essential to advancement in the past are still necessary today. Sincerity, common sense, neatness, willingness to accept responsibility, and a capacity for hard work—these can never be discarded. Care in the handling of one's financial affairs is also important. Nothing is more demoralizing than a load of personal debts brought on through carelessness. It is well to early form the habit of spending less than one earns and to regularly put the difference appear assured office while 22 Democrats seem to be elected. Of the remaining seats Democrats nominated to challenge 11 Republican incumbents while the GOP will contest only Democratic assemblymen. Democrats and Republicans will co-ordinate seven vacant assembly seats in the November general election. All in all the Bourbons end up with a total of 40 members to an even division of power in the assessee. One of the two posts won by the Republicans was the 10th Congressional District where Thomas Werdel succeeded to the vice vacated by the retirement of Alfred Liott. The other was the 37th Assembly district where Stanley Tomlinson succeeded Fred Robertson who also retired. One Democrat assemblyman, Harry Wilson of Porterville, failed to win his own nomination but captured the Republican nomination to eliminate both himself and his opponent. New candidates may be made by the county central committees of parties. With the added congressional seat the publicans continue to hold the majority California congressional offices with 15 members to the Democrats seven, the first trict vacancy still contested by both Rican and Democratic candidates. Care in the handling of one’s financial affairs is also important. Nothing is more demoralizing than a load of personal debts brought on through carelessness. It is well to early form the habit of spending less than one earns and to regularly put the difference in the bank. This develops confidence. It also provides a reserve fund for emergencies, or might make it possible for the individual to establish a business of his own. Every graduate should set a high goal for himself in his chosen field. If he keeps that goal ever before him and is not discouraged by the ups and downs leading to it he is sure to attain a substantial measure of success. Envy of the World The history of the world, since recorded time began, has been blackened at regular and frequent intervals by terrible famines. Countless millions have died miserably from hunger. And those cataclyms were not confined to long past, primitive times. In the last quarter century starvation has stalked through China, Russia, and other nations. Yet, in the United States, we have never had a famine. Some may say short-sightedly that this is because we are blessed with an abundance of resources. But other countries, where the standard of living is abysmally low compared with ours, have great resources also. Some may think it is because we work harder. Yet in the hunger-ridden nations the average man and woman work much longer hours, and perform a great deal more manual labor, than does the average American. The basic reason for our abundance lies elsewhere. It has been in a theory of government that encourages every man to do his utmost and reap the rewards that has stimulated voluntary, individual enterprise and that, finally, has given every man the right to compete with any other in his chosen field. We see how this system works on every hand. As a simple example, every American can walk into a store and buy all the meat he wants—something that is impossible in most other countries. Free enterprise is responsible for putting that meat in the butcher’ showcase—for turning steers, hogs and other animals into cuts that are ready for consumption. To meet the needs of the country, a great packing industry has been developed to bridge the gap between the livestock producer and our homes. It performs a vital service at a cost which is almost unlation, success will come to them automatically. The same qualities and habits which have been essential to advancement in the past are still necessary today. Sincerity, common sense, neatness, willingness to accept responsibility, and a capacity for hard work—these can never be discarded. With the added congressional seat the publicans continue to hold the majority California congressional offices with 15 bers to the Democrats seven, the first trict vacancy still contested by both Republican and Democratic candidates. However, the Democrats will challenge five of the Republican incumbents in vember and the Republicans have nominated to contest four Democratic congressmen. In the state senate the Democrats lose seat vacated by the retirement of Quinn but offset the loss by taking the candy left by T. H. Delap’s retirement. Democrats were nominated in both th and 33rd Senatorial districts to contest Republican senators while the vacated created by the retirement of Thomas Cormack will be contested by nominees both parties. The present majority of Republicans senate number 27 to 12 Democrats so ever the November outcome of the three decided Senatorial districts may be, change in the present Republican con­ ion of the senate will be noted. Another significant development o­ election is that no third party candidate pears to have presented any real three though the I.P.P. nomiees will seek 12 gressional posts, three state senate o­ and 21 assembly seats. Communism in Colleges The Saturday Evening Post recently tured an impressive editorial, signed by Rick Nelson, on the extent to which this try is being softened up by communist fluences. One paragraph dealt with the gers in current American education said, “Another point against the survive our democratic system is the state of an important section of America’s ingents . . . Young people are taught th achievements of successful men are duely to ‘social conditions’; that there is m of supply and demand,’ only the greed o acious businessmen; and that the funct taxation is not to raise money for purposes, but to hamper the successf­ the delight of the unsuccessful. College books which reflect that defeatism were written by Communists, but by depres­ bred New Dealers. Nevertheless, th efect in weakening the influence of a cap­ economy has been tremendous.” Election Returns While election returns reported indicated a GOP gain of two legislative offices, Democrats denied any substantial defeat at last Tuesday's primary election and are pointing out they have successfully challenged the domination of the state assembly by the Republicans. Furthermore, they say, the party nominated candidates to contest 18 lawmaking seats now held by Republican incumbents. On the other side, Republicans will challenge nine Democratic office-holders and nine political post vacancies will be contested by both parties. This threat to wrest control from Republicans in the assembly while possible was deemed unlikely to succeed by observers here. However, they were quick to point out that such an occurrence could mean the removal of Republican Sam L. Collins from the office of speaker, the post he has held for the past two years and in which he is conceded to win again if the Republicans retain their majority in the state's lower house. At this point 35 Republican assemblymen IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago JUNE 21, 1873 The exhilerating, strengthening effects of our climate find a good illustration in the physical abilities possessed by the gophers around Anaheim. We are the happy owner of a very fine orange tree, which was threatened with destruction by one of those pests. With frantic haste we purchased a patent trap—price one dollar and a half—and carefully placing it in the hole, as per directions, retired a short distance to await the result. In a few minutes we heard and unearthly squeak, and on hastening to ascertain the cause, we found the gopher caught—his head and forefeet being in the trap and the balance of his body free. On our stooping to pull the trap out of the hole, the gopher began a rapid retrograde movement, and before we could recover from the surprise incident he had "gone from our gaze" carrying the trap with him into the bowels of the earth. On Thursday afternoon while Louis Wartenburg's stage from Los Angeles was passing Mr. B. H. Bancroft's residence, a sudden jolt of the wagon dislodged the hind seat, throwing out Dr. W. M. Higgins and Lew E. Smith. They were so severely stunned that it was with greatest difficulty that they were able to return to their homes in Anaheim. Frank Lecouveur completed on yesterday the laying out of a public road from Anaheim to Anaheim Landing in accordance with the petition presented to the Board of Supervisors. The line of house, whereby he is enabled to make advances on consignments of grain, hides, wool, etc. From his personal popularity and business tact, we predict for him a large and remunerative trade. Squire Johnson of Santa Ana has expressed an opinion "as is an opinion." It is to the effect that when one drinks with a candidate at his earnest solicitation, or even without being invited, it does not necessarily follow that a pledge to support the said candidate has thus been tacitly given, or that the candidate is authorized to feel injured or aggrieved if he does not receive the vote of the gentleman of bibulous propensities. Asa Ellis, candidate for state senator, was in town last week. As he is an outspoken "No Division" man, his reception by our able bodied voters was not particularly enthusiastic. We are indebted to Mr. W. McPherson for a copy of his valuable pamphlet entitled "Resources of Los Angeles." The citizens of Santa Ana have decided to give a picnic near that place on the Fourth of July. Mr. Spurgeon informs us that a meeting will be held today to select the ground and make other preparatory arrangements. Full particulars will be given next week. We were favored wisht a call from Mr. G. M. Dannels of Julian City, who has been sojourning in Anaheim for a few days. Mr. Dannels was a member of the last legislature, from San Diego county, and if Dame Rumour is to be believed WASHINGTON AS SEEN By Congressman John C. Byrne A little of this and that: This weekly letter is Washington before the election, and will be read fornia after the election good time for a few miscellaneous comments while your man waits for the election.

Patrick Henry the Virginia Assembly, every schoolboy has "Give me Liberty," or Death!" Suppose he hooks up and said, "Give me Death," his histories do you suppose mention his name today? If everyone sweeps his own doorstep, say "the whole city will You and I call it local." 25 Years Ago JUNE 21, 1923 It is reliably reported that the gas company will soon begin the construction of a modern two story business building on a lot on North Emily street between Center and Chartres. The front of the big building on West Center street recently vacated by an auto firm is being cut down to the new property line in conformity with the frontages of other buildings in the block. This is the last building in the block between Clementine and Helena to cling to the old line. As soon as the new front is in and the interior remodeled, the White Lily bakery will move in. James Stewart states that his real estate company has purchased 22 acres of land on Ball road near Hansen station, have subdivided it, and are building 22 houses on it. The houses with an acre of ground will be put on the market at $3500. The new building being erected by Carl Pressel on West Center street for the J. C. Penney store, will be completed in a couple of weeks and ready for occupancy. It is just opposite the California theatre on ground formerly occupied by the Pressel blacksmith shop. It extends from Center to Oak street, with frontage at each place on the Fourth of July. Mr. Spurgeon informs us that a meeting will be held today to select the ground and make other preparatory arrangements. Full particulars will be given next week. We were favored wiht a call from Mr. G. M. Dannels of Julian City, who has been sojourning in Anaheim for a few days. Mr. Dannels was a member of the last legislature, from San Diego county, and if Dame Rumour is to be believed he will again be called to represent his county in the next legislature. G. W. Barter will become editor of the Puget Sound Courier. Incidentally, Mr. Barter founded the Anaheim Gazette. Iced drinks at the Anaheim Hotel. Sin Se Wau plays a respectable game of pool and takes his toddy with as much relish as we do. 25 Years Ago Horn second, and Mrs. Henry Heying the consolation prize. Max Nebelung has been seriously ill at his home for some weeks past but was reported somewhat improved the first of the week. He was able to sit up Monday, the first time in several weeks. Shipment of Valencias from Anaheim last week totalled 133 cars, one car less than the shipments of the previous week. One car of lemons and a hundred boxes of grapefruit were also shipped. Miss Jessie Boyd leaves Sunday for Mexico City, where she will enter the University of Mexico. Her purpose is to study Mexican history at the university. E. W. Baum, city carrier No. 1, is off on a vacation this week, his place being taken by substitute Click. Alfred E. Ey, a native of Anaheim and member of one of the pioneer families of the county, disappeared from the steamship Yale Friday night on a trip from San Pedro to San Francisco and is supposed to have either jumped or fallen overboard. He was a son of Frank Ey, former prominent resident of this city and for many years has made his home in San Francisco where he was employed in the customs house. He had been hard work and relied at home. Patrick Henry, the Virginia Assembly, every schoolboy has "Give me Liberty, or Death!" Suppose he had up and said, "Give me Sage give me Death," histories do you suppose mention his name today.

Wallop, superintendent of the Anaheim Union Water company, and Leo Sheridan, secretary, gave a dinner at the Elks Club house last Wednesday to the directors of the company. The occasion was the birthday of President H. H. Hale and the dinner was in his honor. Mr. Hale declines to state how many birthdays he has passed, stating that a man is just as old as he feels, consequently he is still a young man. Mrs. Barbara Parker celebrated her 74th birthday last Saturday and was greatly surprised when a large number of friends assembled at her home. They came at the invitation of her daughter, Miss Eleanora Parker. Many beautiful gifts were presented to her by relatives and friends. Mrs. Parker, who is a sister of Benjamin and Samuel Kraemer, Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw and Mrs. L. E. Miller came here more than fifty years ago and many of her guests had known her in Anaheim's young days. Mrs. V. W. LaMont entertained the Coterie club at her home on Chartres street Thursday. After luncheon five hundred was played by the guests, Mrs. William Lake winning high score, Mrs. Rose Van Alfred E. Ey, a native of Anaheim and member of one of the pioneer families of the county, disappeared from the steamship Yale Friday night on a trip from San Pedro to San Francisco and is supposed to have either jumped or fallen overboard. He was a son of Frank Ey, former prominent resident of this city and for many years has made his home in San Francisco where he was employed in the customs house. He had been in ill health and for some weeks had been visiting his parents in Santa Ana. He leaves a wife and son in San Francisco, a brother, Frank, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ey in Santa Ana. Miss Lulu Goble, of Los Angeles was visiting the latter part of the week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Goble. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs and Miss Florence Backs left on Saturday for San Francisco driving in their car. They arrived in the city yesterday and will spend two weeks sightseeing in the northern district. Miss Frieda Barman of San Francisco, paid a short visit to the family of Arch Henry the first of the week. Mr. and Mrs. H. P, Tobin and children and Mrs. A. Williams are enjoying an outing at Big Bear. Bird Beebe recently returned from a trip across the desert where he went to look after some mining property in which he is interested. Part of the road to the mines was impassable for autos and the party was compelled to walk and carry supplies. The thermometer, he says, was 120 in the shade and there was no shade. WASHINGTON AS SEEN By Congressman John Phillips A little of this and a little of that: This weekly letter is written in Washington before the primary election, and will be read in California after the election. It is a good time for a few miscellaneous comments while your congressman waits for the election returns. The percentage of the vote cast on Tuesday may be considered an index to the interest of the citizens in free government. If 55% of the voters go out and vote on Tuesday, then that will be a 55% index, and if 65% vote, that will be a 65% index. I talk like a government agency statistician. If the people do not make a deliberate effort to protect freedom, it can easily be lost. When Hitler had control of Germany, he got out a 97% vote. You don't think that was free government, do you? I rise to remark that people rarely get back freedom, when they let it slip out of their hands; if they do, it is only after tragic sacrifices. What is this "security," that became such an enticing word under the New Deal administration? We didn't make this nation strong on "security." We made it strong on courage and initiative and hard work and responsibility at home. Patrick Henry got up in the Virginia Assembly, and today every schoolboy has to learn, "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!" Suppose he had gotten up and said, "Give me Security, or give me Death," how many histories do you suppose would mention his name today? "If everyone sweeps in front of his own doorstep," say the Dutch, "the whole city will be clean."
