Public Schools Local Responsibility One might almost be expected to believe that education of the youth of the country is a national political issue in 1948. Government statistics show that in 1870 illiteracy in the United States was 20 per cent. The average per cent of illiteracy among native whites in the United States is less than two per cent. To say that the support of local schools is not the responsibility of the communities in which children live is dodging the issue. It is just as much the duty of parents in small districts to send their children to school as it is to put clothes on their backs and food in their stomachs. The trouble that exists in nearly every part of the United States is the growing demand that the national government must furnish the means and money to carry on all kinds of civic responsibilities, including paying the teachers and all the school expenses. The Federal Government cannot—and will not—do a better job for public schools than local communities. The government has not been stingy in its aid of public educational institutions, even though Federal aid and assistance is demanded in nearly every section of the country. We must face the issue squarely. What are we going to do to insure adequate medical care for all, both in normal time well as in emergencies? We have no glib solution to offer. Obvious that no real solution will be except through the combined efforts of doctors and laymen, of federal and local government. That is the only way to secure medical care for all and yet avoid dangers of socialized medicine. Two excellent starts have been made workable pay-as-you-go medical programs which would be run by the doctor and laymen in each locality. On the level, we refer to Governor Warren's posal. But even more inclusive and better geared to the national solution, national problem is the National Health Surance bill, S. 1320. This measure would enable the people in every state to secure plete medical care from the doctor and capital of their choice. What commends the National Health Surance bill particularly is its sensible proach to the problems of state and f cooperation. This measure would leave control with the people in each locality. Our doctors and scientists are doing thing they can to end epidemics like paralysis. Now it is up to us to find th part of the United States is the growing demand that the national government must furnish the means and money to carry on all kinds of civic responsibilities, including paying teachers and all the school expenses. The Federal Government cannot—and will not—do a better job for public schools than local communities. The government has not been stingy in its aid of public educational institutions, even though Federal aid and assistance is demanded in nearly every section of the country. Supposing there are 90,000 one-room schools in this country—what's the answer? That answer was found a great many years ago when school buses appeared upon the highways and carried pupils to and from consolidated schools, that are now in operation in the United States. The American public is carrying on an adequate school system, and there is no reason why they should shirk their duties by failing to keep their schools in operation. The states give a good deal of help to support and maintain public schools—and that's the way it should be. A very moderate local tax system has always kept our schools up-to-date. The National Education Association, meeting at Cleveland, rounded up three thousand teachers and school and college officials and made a demand upon the President of the United States to summon a special session of Congress to pass legislation voting three hundred million dollars in Federal aid to education. That was carrying things too far. The nation believes in the public school system and local communities must continue to manage their own business. Local government belongs to local communities that can do a good deal better job than "brass hats" down in Washington.—J. E. Jones, National Industries News Service. Fight for Health Parents throughout the state can take heart from the news that all the resources of modern medicine are being marshalled against infantile paralysis. Overworked though our doctors, nurses and hospital staffs are, we know that with the help of the entire community they will conquer this dread scourge. But it should not take an epidemic to bring united community action to fight disease. Parents who have been forced to stand by helplessly while their children have been stricken by polio can demand: "Why weren't we prepared for this? Why don't we have enough doctors, nurses and medical facilities to meet any emergency?" We cannot brush the questions of these sorrowing parents aside. They must be an- LEGAL NOTICES (Pub.

We are informed that efforts are being made by the Episcopal portion of the community to erect a church edifice. The Rev. Mr. Loop of San Gabriel was in town on last Sunday, but owing to the illness of his child, was prevented from bringing the subject prominently before the public. It is his intention during the latter part of the present month to hold religious services in Anaheim, the Presbyterians have kindly offered him the use of their building. During his visit here at that time he will investigate the probabilities of securing the funds necessary to erect a suitable building. One of the institutions of Los Angeles city is the public library, founded some months ago. It is a child of the people, originated and supported by them, and has proved already of incalculable benefit in offering to all but more particularly to young men, a pleasant place for recreation, amusement and instruction. Through the kind assistance given the undertaking by Gov. Downey, Dr. Griffin and other public spirited citizens of Los Angeles, much of its present prosperity is indebted, yet one cannot refrain from expressing the belief that in its arrangement and management, the institution has prospered by having secured the services of the gentlemanly and courteous librarian, J. C. Littlefield. Sin Se Wan invoked the aid of the law to recover from another chinaman the sum of ten dollars. were Messrs. Korn, Mosseman and Zeyn and their families, left on Thursday morning for San Juan Hot Springs. They propose to be gone about three weeks.

He is now at San Francisco undergoing treatment, and as soon as he is able to travel it is expected he will leave by train for Washington. There is a possibility that he may recuperate in a day or two and be able to resume his journey by water, going home by way of the Panama canal, but his physicians will probably think otherwise. There is much disappointment in southern California and also much concern lest his condition prove more serious than has been reported. E. A. Beard, manager of the telephone company, a relative of the president, was at the Remsberg home in Santa Ana, Sunday, and states that Mrs. Remsberg and her two daughters decided to leave for San Francisco Monday after getting a message from the north. Mrs. Remsberg stated, however, that the news she received was not alarming. The assessed valuation of Anaheim school district during the insertion this week the steamer schedule for August.

The assessed valuation of Anaheim school district during the past year increased from $7,433,340 to $8,448,605. Most of the districts in the county gained, but some show a loss. Fullerton dropped from $15,009,000 to $12,330,000, while Huntington Beach jumped from $9,336,000 to $20,585,000. Zanjero Charles Stom was walking on the dam at the Tuffree reservoir one day recently when he saw an animal running along. His dog gave chase and the animal prepared to do some biting, so Mr. Stom secured a stick and killed it. The animal was found to be an opossum. The finding of such an animal is extraordinary. The neighbors had lost at least eighty chickens and they blame the loss to the opossum. Nick Theodore and Miss Lucille Stevens were married Thursday evening in the Greek church in Los Angeles and have gone to Catalina for a month's outing and upon their return will reside in this city. Mr. Theodore is one of the proprietors of the Anaheim Laundry and is one of the city's most prosperous young businessmen. J. Frederick Ahlborn and Miss Myrtle Owen motored over to Riverside Saturday and were married. Mr. Ahlborn has for many years been one of Anaheim's most prominent figures.

Humbert, Miss Janice Humbert and Mrs. G. H. Bailey arrived from Phoenix, Arizona, some days ago and will spend some time visiting with friends and relatives on the coast. On their way over from Phoenix they were held up for 24 hours by a cloudburst, which caused a great flood of water several hundred feet wide. Twenty cars were held up and one was washed away and wrecked. When the flood had somewhat subsided, ropes were attached to the cars and they were hauled across, the water being too deep to permit of their operation on their own power. After making the crossing the journey to Los Angeles was continued without mishap. Three days were consumed in making the trip. Turk Sherwood was over from Fullerton yesterday with a truck load of fine Alberta peaches which he disposed of at fancy prices. Turk is rapidly rolling up a wad. Mrs. Mamie Van Oost has taken out a permit to build a frame residence on North Philadelphia street to cost $4,200. H. S. Jayne and son, Robert, spent some days at Forest Home last week.

WASHINGTON AS SEEN By Congressman JOHN PHILLIPS When I ended last week's letter, I said I would talk more about this matter of the Congress being "committed" by some action from outside, either by the U.S. representative on the UN, or by the President, or by the head of some department, or even by one body of the Congress, before the other body has acted. I will use the ECA appropriation and discussion for the example, this week. The Foreign Affairs committees of both Houses brought out bills which were finally combined, passed and signed by the President, AUTHORIZING the expenditure of NOT MORE THAN $8,098,000,000 divided among four titles, as follows: For ERP, which the people spoke of as the "Marshall Plan," $5,300,000,000, of which however, $1,000,000,000 was to come from the sale of Treasury notes, and not from direct appropriations; for the children's aid organization, $6,000,000; for the Greek-Turkish fund, $275,000,000 and for China $463,000,000. This was the regular procedure. It didn't COMMIT the Congress, nor the committee, to any exact amounts. It set the top figures, over which the Committee on Appropriations could not go without which had in the meantime changed its name, plus an item of $55,000,000 which came through in another appropriation bill; the childrens' organization got $35,-000,000; the Greek-Turkish fund had $225,000,000 added, and $400,-000,000 was included for China. However, through the entire time of consideration by the committee, there was a well directed propaganda campaign, joined in by many innocent citizens, to pressure Congress to give the "full amount" which had appeared in the authorization bill, on the grounds that the United States had "committed itself." If this column had a theme song, it would set to music the repeated reminder that the United States of America is a REPUBLIC, the strongest form of government in the world, by proof, not just by patriotic expression. If we are to preserve the Republic, we must understand its procedures. To Farmers and Small Business Firms Your bookkeeping can be done by mail. Our service will... 1. Keep your books. 2.

Building a home for telephone equipment is a big and complex job. The framework must be extra massive to carry heavy loads and resist shock. To make room for equipment, the stories are taller, too. This new building, larger than most but of typical construction, has fifteen floors...yet it's as high as a twenty-story building. 2. The "furniture" for our telephone home is the equipment needed to handle your calls. Manufacturing and installing it takes time...and lots of money. Your new telephones can't get to work without it, so we're putting in equipment, constructing buildings, and providing other facilities to the tune of over half a million dollars a day. 3. A lot of close, exacting work is still ahead. Thousands of tiny connections must feel the heat of a soldering iron before new equipment can handle your calls. Scenes like this are common in telephone offices all over the Coast today as we build and expand—in the face of high costs—to meet the West's growing needs. 4. Where does the money come from? Millions of new working dollars...needed to extend and improve service...must come, not from telephone bills, but from thousands of people who put their savings to work in the telephone business. To attract these working dollars, we must pay a reasonable amount for their use. This depends on the sale of our services at fair and adequate prices.
