Our Heritage—The Forests By WILLIAM E. O'BRIEN Western News Service Though California's most dangerous season for forest fires is only half completed, arrangements for next year's campaign to warn the public of forest fire hazards are already underway. The Forestry division, sharing a small part of the $100,000 given by the federal government to the state for advertising, has been able to develop a campaign rivaling the million dollar programs of the soap and tobacco companies. Fire prevention has been sold to the public by using billboards, outdoor posters, newspapers, radio, films and transit advertising in buses and railroads. Most important of all, the forestry men have been able to convince private industry that it is worth while to devote a large part of their summer advertising to the protection of state forests. How well the program has worked has been shown in the reduction by half, of the number of forest fires that occurred in 1947. Forestry officials throughout the United States struck it rich when they found sympathetic people in the national advertising council. The council has been the publicity cornerstone of every large and successful public safety and health campaign carried in the United States during the last five months to save their nickels should be strongly emphasized elsewhere as it is hated in California. The child who has learned to have money has a big advantage in life over the one who has not. The American public school system has added responsibilities in these days, brought on by the threat of foreign ideologies. Schools must inculcate in our children a love for democracy and an understanding of the fallacy of any scheme which would deprive anyone of his basic human rights. Of course, this task should not be left tirely to the schools. The home and church must help. But it behooves every person—yes, every citizen whether he has children or not—to take a greater interest in our schools, to support every progress step and oppose all that would weaken the How sound America will be tomorrow depends on how sound our schools are today. Political Picture Things are moving faster in politics than days. Charges and counter charges, as well as eggs and ripe fruit are being hurled with much vigor and little discretion. Henry Wallace hit the headlines when he got hit with some poultry produce on convince private industry that it is worth while to devote a large part of their summer advertising to the protection of state forests. How well the program has worked has been shown in the reduction by half, of the number of forest fires that occurred in 1947. Forestry officials throughout the United States struck it rich when they found sympathetic people in the national advertising council. The council has been the publicity cornerstone of every large and successful public safety and health campaign carried out in the United States during the last five years. The advertising council called on the national advertising agency of Foote, Cone and Bolding and asked them to prepare a complete campaign for the forestry people. The agency obliged by putting top talent to work on the project and the result has been seen, heard and read by millions of Americans. The agency waived its usual commission and forest conservationists had many thousands of dollar of time and effort handed to them without charge. The material that was conceived by the advertising agency was turned into radio recordings, pamphlets and posters by using the $100,000 Clark-McNarey appropriation, which the federal government makes available to its forestry department to aid the states in their fight against forest fires. Materials of all sorts have been produced by the millions and distributed throughout various states. California, which is one of the most forest conservation minded, annually receives about one quarter of all the material produced. The job of interesting private industry fell to the state forestry divisions. The idea took hold and many large corporations were soon putting a large part of their advertising budgets into the task of telling people how they might save one of the states most valuable natural resources. Even during the paper shortages when advertisers were using available stocks to push their own products, there was no lessening of the campaign to save the forests. To be sure that each visitor to the state becomes conscious of fire hazards, he is given a small pamphlet at state border quarantine stations which tells him of the states vital concern over the safety of California timber. Over a million of these pamphlets are being printed at the present time for distribution during the 1949 season. The national advertising council is also at work on new devices that will remind the public that they have a stake in the timber of California and other states. State forestry officials believe that if the more than $5,000,000 loss of timber in California during 1947, can be averted on a nationwide budget of $100,000, the offert will Political Picture Things are moving faster in politics than days. Charges and counter charges, as well as eggs and ripe fruit are being hurled with much vigor and little discretion. Henry Wallace hit the headlines when he got hit with some poultry produce on a swing through the south. Harry Truman and Tom Dewey seized the occasion of Last Day to belabor each other. The lesser members of their respective parties helped with assorted accusations, condemnation and denials. In state politics the ghost of Huey Lodge dominated the election in Louisiana and Missouri, Russell Long, was sent to Washington to follow in the footsteps of the garrulant Huey. In Texas, the contest for the senate seat abandoned by the once-popular "Pappo O'Daniel" turned out to be propably the closest vote for a major office in American history. With nearly a million ballots cast among the candidates, former Governor Coke Stenson and Representative Lyndon Johnson less than 100 votes separated them according to latest reports, with Johnson having the edge. The political situation as a whole is ready hotter than a hot-foot, but it's good to get a lot hotter before November re-around. The best thing we citizens can do to keep our heads up and our tempers down during the "heat wave." Charles E. Hughes Although the public career of Charles Evans Hughes was one of distinction he was probably be remembered in history almost as much for what he failed to do as for what he accomplished. The failure, of course, refers to the presidential election of 1916 where he missed the White House by a bare 3,000 votes. That was the approximate margin which he lost the state of California, and was California's vote that swung the victory to Woodrow Wilson. But even though he didn't reach the top post in the political field he did achieve the highest goal in the judicial realm—the position of Chief Justice U. S. Supreme Court. It was while he was serving as Chief Justice in 1937 that President Roosevelt attempted to "pardon" the court. Hughes fought this move with cool determination. Among the other high positions he held were those of Governor New York and Secretary of State under Coolidge and Hoover. In his passing America has lost a sincere, able and distinguishable citizen. tine stations which tells him of the states vital concern over the safety of California timber.

Short Orders If you're too busy to eat you may soon be able to dispense with the necessity of sitting down to a meal and consuming your valuable time. A British scientist has come up with a new drug to be taken in tablet form. It will keep you well fed for as much as five days. During that time neither food nor drink is necessary. The drug has been thoroughly tested and large scale production of it, principally for emergency use, is being planned. If the drug gains wide use what is to become of Crunchy-Wunchies and all the other wonderful foods? The School Bell Rings Millions of young Americans are facing their darkest hour. Vacation is nearly over. Soon the grave problems of getting up early, reaching school on time and doing home work will engage much of their time and thought. It's a bleak outlook—just now. But in a month they'll be back in the old routine and the world won't seem like such a bad place after all. It happens every year. The approach of the new school term brings to the fore once again the need for instructing the children more in the art of living. Literature, mathematics, science and so on are important but they lose their value to the individual if he hasn't learned good habits and how to get along with others. Even such simple things as teaching young- IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago Sept. 20, 1873 On Thursday last, telegraphic communication was established between Anaheim and San Bernardino. At 7:32 p.m., the first message was sent over the line by Mr. P. A. Clark. Several congratulatory telegrams were exchanged between the citizens of Anaheim and San Bernardino. Yesterday the line was in constant operation. Mr. L. M. Holt, late of the Healdsburg Flag, and now acting as correspondent of the Rural Press, visited us on Wednesday. We also acknowledge a call from Mr. C. A. Bancroft, correspondent of the Los Angeles Star. The next entertainment of the Ladies’ Social club will be given at Enterprise hall on Wednesday evening. The program is made up of tableaux, vocal and instrumental music. They will even invade the domain of Negro Minstrelsy, two adepts in the burnt cork business having kindly volunteered to assist in the entertainment. On tomorrow Anaheim will be invaded by forty members of the Los Angeles Turn-Verein. They will probably arrive about 11 a.m., and the programme will be about as follows: They will form in procession at the outskirts of the town, and headed by the Los Angeles band, will march through the streets to Enterprise hall, where they will fraternize with the Anaheim Turn-Verein. In the evening the members will give a dramatic performance after which will be a dance.

It was a full grown Tarantula, which we found gamboling over the types on the imposing stone, in pursuit of knowledge. We imparted some to him, with the heavy end of a broomstick. While Dr. Gardiner was making visit in Upper Santa Ana on Thursday, his team became frightened and broke the ropes with which they were hitched. After a mad gallop of about five miles they were brought to a standstill by a vaquero. Strange to say, neither the horses nor buggy were injured in the least. There are so many buildings in process of erection in Anaheim and vicinity that our carpenters elevate their nasal appendage when asked to do any small and puttering job. Mr. Pete Richards has sold one of his billiard tables to a gentleman in Los Nietos. An elegant new one will soon take its place. Geo. C.

Mr. Parker planted some vines of the Muscatel variety last year. There is nothing very remarkable in this, and we would not have mentioned the fact at all, had we not been the recipient of a large, compact bunch of grapes, weighing over two pounds, which Mr. Parker picked from one of the vines planted at the time aforesaid. We devoured it in a few minutes.—Mr. J. B. Raine also brought to our sanctum another specimen of our agricultural capabilities. It was a sweet potato weighing six pounds, which we 25 Years Ago Sept. 20, 1923 Citizens of Fullerton will be called upon at an early date to vote on a $200,000 bond issue to provide for the construction of a new city hall and the plans already adapted, for a fire house and for equipment and furnishings. It is estimated that the sum to be asked for, together with the $81,000 now available on the city hall sinking fund, will be sufficient for all requirements. The five bids on construction which were opened at the council meeting last week were formally rejected at the meeting Friday and new bids will be invited after the bond issue has been voted upon, assuming, of course, that the verdict is favorable. Consensus of opinion at city council meetings is that the objectionable features of an oil field within the city limits would outweigh the advantages of temporary prosperity and it is proposed to adopt an ordinance to ban drilling within the city limits. Whatever action the board may take, it is believed the matter will be put to a popular vote, giving the people an opportunity to approve or disprove the proposed action. It man in Los Nietos.

It is expected that the walls of the Odd Fellows building will be completed today. Menzel will receive by the next steamer some hams, herring and cheese. A new paper to be named The Herald will soon be published in Los Angeles. A Grange was organized at Santa Ana on Monday by Deputy Thomas A. Garey. WORK ON CHEST BUDGE The budget committee Anaheim Community Chest was called Tuesday night to on a budget for the 1948 and the agencies which we financed by it did not comp work Tuesday night and co its meeting to next Monday. Wisconsin produced 7 tons of hay in 1945. Ul 'Round-t Consensus of opinion at city council meetings is that the objectionable features of an oil field within the city limits would outweigh the advantages of temporary prosperity and it is proposed to adopt an ordinance to ban drilling within the city limits. Whatever action the board may take, it is believed the matter will be put to a popular vote, giving the people an opportunity to approve or disprove the proposed action. It is probable that the ordinance will be drawn up for consideration early in October. Mrs. George Mattis, who owns property within the city limits and who is said to represent owners of more than 100 acres of land sought by large oil companies, has appeared before the board and strongly championed an ordinance to prevent drilling in the city. Congressman Phil D. Swing was the principal speaker at the Rotary club luncheon Monday. The Colorado river project was the subject of his speech. There are at least three propositions for harnessing the turbid river and conserving the millions of tons of water annually flowing down its channel into the sea. One is the Hoover project, one the Maxwell scheme, and the other is the Swing-Johnson proposal now before Congress. Judge Swing naturally favors his own bill. The bill provides an advance of $50,000,-000 by the government for construction of the Boulder dam and carrying the waters to the land. This expenditure is in the nature of a loan, which will eventually be returned to the government. The Orange County fair opens at Santa Ana on Tuesday, September 25 and continues throughout the week.

Mr. and Mrs. William Matter have returned from their honeymoon trip to the northern part of the state. Mrs. Matter was formerly Miss Evelyn Degryse. Miss Leona Van Booven, who has been spending a week at Arrowhead is back on her job at Webers Book and Music store. Miss Ruth Reed and Miss Margaret Brisco left the first part of the week to begin their studies at Pomona, college. Mrs. Helen Hatfield left some days ago for Gilman Hot Springs, where she will stay for an indefinite period. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Lewis, who have been spending some weeks at Seal Beach, have returned home. St. Boniface hall, on north Palm street, adjoining the church has been completed and will be opened this afternoon. The Young Ladies Institute will entertain visitors during the afternoon and evening. 3722 Pleasure Craft in County (Western News Service) Boats registered as pleasure craft in Orange county total 3,722 according to a report issued by the California Yacht and Ship Brokers Commission, of the Department of Professional and Vocational Standards. According to the report, there are 716 inboard, 859 sail, and 13 outboard boats owned and moored in the county. There are 50,389,300 dead-weight tons of merchant shipping under the U.S. flag and another 631,500 tons under foreign flags is owned by U.S. nationals. D. T.

He had the distinction of being the oldest member in the ledge in years of service during which time he held many offices. Left to mourn his passing are two daughters, Ellene Gaston Cailor and Alma M. Cailor, and a son, Clarence M. Cailor. Funeral services were held tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the chapel of Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary with the Rev. Robert Burns McAulay, master of the Presbyterian church Orange, officiating. Members of the Odd Fellows lodge had charge of the graveside rites in oma Vista Memorial Park.

Says Soundness Of Senate Setup Cause for Attack "The essential soundness of California's senatorial apportionment system, as it has existed for years, has prompted the present attempt to destroy it." Wh these words, A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana farmer, today urged for the welfare of California that all citizens vote no against the measure, which will be Proposition No. 13 on the Nov. 2 election ballot. "Those who seek enactment of this proposed constitutional amendment," he said, "have marshalled an impressive array of asserted facts and figures to sustain their position. "They have appealed to what they believe to be the selfish interest of the more populous counties, first advancing the argument that the existing method is unfair and out of balance."
