Outline Plans for Hallowe’en Fete Complete pre-designing will underlie this fall’s anniversary of Anaheim’s annual Hallowe’en Festival, it was decided during a special meeting of the central committee for the big event at Mother’s Kitchen Wednesday afternoon. Glen Hipes is chairman of the group and E. W. Moeller, secretary-manager of the Chamber of Commerce, is festival manager. Plans are being made by the group to accommodate from 2,000 to 25,000 persons at the huge Hallowe’en breakfast variety show at La Palma park, beginning the celebration Saturday, October 31. Theme of the event will be “Hallowe’en Gold Discovery,” Moeller stated. The grand parade, main attraction each year, will be completely streamlined. It will be rerouted to assure one street for east and west traffic and one for north and south. Three or four speakers platforms will be placed so that experienced announcers may keep the public informed of the line of march which will conclude in La Palma park where judging will take place. Three prize divisions for parade entries will include commercial exhibitors, municipalities and volunteer groups including civic, club and church groups. According to present arrangements an after-parade show and horse show will be held at the park. Twenty-one musical organiza-tions will march in the parade including well known bands and drum and bugle corps. Prize awards for parade entries will go to the most beautiful and to the most comical in each division. Preceding the all-day and evening celebration, judging of window art, which is scheduled as a permanent part of the forthcoming festival, will take place Friday, October 30. Most stores will remain open that evening according to present indications. Adequate lighting will be assured, Moeller said. He added that the Kiddie parade, always a popular highlight for young and old alike, will proceed according to tradition. Kangaroo court, however, will be completely programmed as will the Whiskerino contest. Although its name may be changed, a slick chick type of contest in which an attractive local girl is chosen as festival queen will be featured. New street decorations have been purchased by the chamber and bigger and better commercial window displays are expected, committee spokesmen remarked. More trophies and many other impressive prizes will be awarded to parade entry winners, young window contest artists and other lucky festival event winners. Members of the festival’s central committee in addition to Chairman Hipes and Manager Moeller include Mrs. Claire Larson, John Ardiaz, Al Raymond, Leavitt Ford, Dick Gay and Clyde Nickle. Employment in State on Increase An increase in employment opportunities in California during the next six months was forecast by James G. Bryant, state department of employment director. Three major programs, he said, are expected to result in this increase; the nation’s rearmament program, the draft, which will remove many young men from the employment field, and the recovery program, which now is forging ahead at full speed. Already, the employment director pointed out, the aircraft industry in southern California is “picking up” as far as employment is concerned. “Almost all the plants are putting on new help,” Bryant said. “While they won’t reach the production of war-time, nevertheless, they are headed toward a substantial peace-time program.” The state is at peak employment now, said Bryant, with seasonal agricultural operations in full swing. It will remain at this level until November, when the seasonal work starts falling off. Meanwhile, unemployment insurance payments were decreasing and the unemployment reserve fund has reached a $721 million dollar level. As far as Bryant knows at the present time, the department will have no recommendations for reducing the unemployment insurance tax rate again when the 1949 legislature convenes. Unemployment benefits were increased to $25 a week by the 1947 legislature and, the taxes decreased in certain reserve brackets to the point where some employers are no longer required to pay an unemployment insurance tax, provided their reserve funds with the department reach a certain per cent of their total payrolls.

ORANGE VET STUDENTS PAID $13,473 IN SEMESTER A total of $13,473.28 was paid by the state to 66 veteran students in Orange county by the state during the 1948 spring semester. This was disclosed today by the State Department of Veterans Affairs which assists World War II veterans in completing their education. Throughout the state 3,728 veterans participated in the program during the spring semester at a cost of $882,332.66 to the state. The state program was designed to aid California war veterans who have insufficient federal aid to complete a planned educational program. Maryland's important agricultural products are tobacco, wheat, corn, hay and potatoes. U.S. Savings Bonds provide a means for the best possible education for your children. BIBLE COMMENT For Aug. 8 History of Israel Shows Persistent Struggle, Conflict DURING the year of the 172nd anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a new state of Israel is struggling for existence. The time seems appropriate to review the history of the Jews in their homeland, their original settlement, their exiles, their efforts for return and restoration, their dispersion throughout the world, their persistency under centuries of persecution, and the dream of re-establishing a national life. The life of Israel in Palestine began when Abraham, forsaking his home and idolatrous environment in far-off Ur of Chaldea, in the pioneer spirit, established a new civilization in the way that the Book of Genesis describes. That civilization took root and FIRST PRESBYTERIAN 310 West Broadway, Phone 2176 Rev. Howard S. Congdon, minister. Phone 4146. 9:50 a.m., Sunday school.

This declaration of Jesus from John is the Golden Text of the Sunday Lesson Sermon on "Spirit" in all branches of The Mother Church. The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. A Bible passage from Joel reads, "Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice; for the Lord will do great things ... Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: ... And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else; and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh." In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy says, "As mortals begin to understand Spirit, they give up the belief that there is any true existence apart from God." "Material sense never helps mortals to understand Spirit, God. Through spiritual sense only, man comprehends and loves Deity." Fourteen Signs Show Marriage Disaster Peril Do you know the danger signals which warn that a marriage is heading for the rocks? You should, because they could mean the difference between marital success or disaster. One of the most critical considerations in marriage inevitably has to do with sex, which, unfortunately, is frequently a serious problem. For unless married persons treat sex in a frank and adult manner — and unless sexual adjustment is normal and complete—they are headed for trouble. A second danger signal in marriage is evidence of waning interest in each other. Closely allied is the failure of any married woman to identify herself with her husband's troubles, either personal or business. She must stand by him when things are unfavorable to him. Any man or woman who wants to be the center of marriage doesn't know the real meaning of marriage. Neither party is all-important in this relationship. The belief of either partner that the other must be held primarily responsible for the success or failure of the marriage is dangerous, because it is unrealistic. In most instances such childish convictions indicate not only an unwillingness to accept individual responsibility but an underlying desire for escape from reality. Quarrels over money are a sure sign that there are nothing but dead ends ahead. They may have their basis, not in inadequate income itself, but in mental unhappiness stemming from other marital failings. Any marriage in which either partner desires to be the dominant individual is wide open for trouble. But even more suspect is the marriage in which either partner gives evidence of a desire to reform the other. The feeling on the part of any married person that he is 'suffering' because of his marriage, but that he is willing to make the 'self-sacrifice,' is a warning of trouble ahead. The desire of either individual for undue or excessive privacy is another red light in marriage. Any married person who needs to be 'amused' or entertained constantly should take his foot off the accelerator and come to a full stop. For although most normal people crave a certain amount of association with others, happily married persons who have interests in common don't find quiet evenings together either boring or unsatisfactory. In instances when either partner refuses—on the basis of non-physical reasons—to have children, the soundness of the marriage is highly questionable. In a great many instances the man whose wife is incapable of bearing a child may unconsciously resent her because of that fact and may reveal his displeasure in numerous other ways. Similarly, the wife whose husband is impotent may become restless and discontent. Often the solution to the problem may be found in the adoption of a child. The attitude and behavior of a child may frequently be a warning sign to parents. Older children usually react almost instantly to anything which seems to affect their security. But according to some medical authorities, even restlessness or nervousness in an infant may have its origin in parental discontent. Many people have no real appreciation for the dangers to marriage revealed by flirting. For very often it's not the flirting that produces unhappiness in marriage but the unhappiness in marriage that causes the flirting. Final danger signals are undue possessiveness or suspicion. The desire to keep a mate away from parents or friends or jealousy of a mate's ability to experience any real pleasure outside of marriage is usually selfish in origin. San Francisco, California, is a little more than 46 square miles... WHAT DID GENERAL ELLE...and who benefited WE have passed the halfway point in what we feel is another historic year at General Electric. In the first half of 1948, we have not merely sold more goods, paid higher wages, and had more earnings left. We have done a lot more—a lot that we feel is for the good of all, as well as for the good of each of the individuals and groups we are trying to serve. The figures are significant in themselves. Our customers wanted still more, but we were able to give them a new high of $773 million worth of products in peacetime. The prices on these products averaged only 35 per cent above 1940, whereas our employees' hourly earnings rose to 75 per cent above and prices on our material purchases mounted close to double 1940. The new general wage increase in mid-June and the selective price increases resulting from this and higher material costs are not reflected appreciably in the above figures. They are expected to raise our employees' earnings to 89 per cent above 1940 and still keep our average prices to less than 40 per cent above 1940. Our restrained pricing policy throughout these times, as well as the two outstanding price reductions made contrary to the trend this year, resulted in many of our products being priced well below those of our competitors. Thus we have been—and will continue—trying to do our best in the battle against inflation. On this $773 million of sales billed—and on the $1,100 million the stockholders have invested or left in the business or committed themselves for—we earned under $55 million, or 7¢ out of each dollar taken in. These earnings were after payrolls and other employee benefits of $319 million, or 41-3/10¢ of each sales dollar. These earnings were also after materials, services, and taxes amounting to a new peacetime high of 51-7/10¢ of each sales dollar. Our Federal income taxes alone were about $45 million. Through trying to be an efficient producer, we thus were able to sell at prices below those of most competitors, were able to pay the new high peacetime take home pay to our 200,000 employees, were able to keep the confidence of our stockholders that we would sooner or later do better by them, and still were able to provide $45 million for the support of our Government out of sales made at prices not even as high as those on which many competitors were breaking even. These figures may seem big—and they are big. You may want to break them down. General Electric is made up of seventy divisions—each with a manager.

General Electric comes down to size quickly if we divide everything by 70 and get an average of 3,500 stockholders, with $11 million of sales, with $4½ million for employees, and with only about ¾ of a million dollars of earnings left in each case. Aside from the earnings of 7¢ on each dollar received, we assume there is the usual interest in what the "return on investment" has been and the many questions about what it ought to be. The "investment" in this great enterprise—from a technical accounting standpoint—is $665 million, representing the amount of our assets, i.e., the depreciated value of plants and equipment, the inventories and customers' accounts, the amounts ventured in advances and stock of needed affiliates, and the cash and marketable securities required for day-to-day operations, replacements and emergencies, less the sum of amounts owed to trade creditors and for taxes. This total investment is made up of proceeds from the sale of capital stock now owned by 250,000 stockholders, the reinvestment of earnings shown in surplus, the long term debt, and the general reserve withheld for the security of employees and the Com- While we are trying constantly to do better—and expect to—we feel they sent further substantial progress toward serving the best interests of c ANAHEIM WORK GENERAL ELECTRIC BARBERS MUST RENEW THEIR CERTIFICATES Orange county's 253 barbers and 37 barber shops must renew their certificates by August 31 or pay a penalty of $2, C.

General Electric wants to get its investment down in relation to goods produced, and do it through getting its efficiency up just as fast as possible. That's the way to get the greatest possible output at low costs that will protect the high volume. That's the way to provide the greatest number of steady jobs, and do it while still employing in fixed facilities the least amount of goods and services that could otherwise go on through to the public in consumer goods. To some it seems a virtue to have a low return on investment, whereas just the opposite is true where the high return is accomplished through such savings and competitive skills as are indicated above. The producer with a low return on investment is the one who may be doing for customers what they want done but who, to accomplish this, is tying up more materials in fixed property than does his more efficient competitor. On the accompanying chart is shown—for 1947 and 1948—the high proportion of the earnings the stockholders are currently having to leave in the business. Our stockholders are thus currently involved in the soundest sort of inflation-arresting action.

They are receiving for personal use only 3¢ of their earnings and are saving 4¢ from consumption and for investment in expanded and improved equipment to provide more jobs and to turn out more goods to help meet the needs of the country and to aid in keeping prices down. One of the problems of our stockholders—and likely to be the problem of any owner of any business, large or small—is that about half our plants and equipment are carried on the books and being depreciated in accordance with their cost in prewar dollars, whereas the replacements for these have got to be bought at the new high prices with dollars worth half as much. Another problem of our stockholders is that in continuing to receive the $1.60 annual dividend rate, they have been experiencing a constant cut in actual take-home value while the compensation of General Electric employees and material suppliers has more than kept pace with the inflationary cheapening of the dollar. expect to—we feel the record of the first six months of 1948 reprethe best interests of customers, employees, owners, and the public.
