Newspaper Week "Your right to know is the key to all your liberties." Under this slogan Newspaper Week will be observed from October 1 to 8. The American press is the eyes and ears of the American people. It brings the world in word and picture to the humblest citizen. It not only reports events but it helps to interpret the meaning of those events and how they will affect the average American. The American press is a free press. But maintaining that freedom has not been, and is not, easy. Under the guise of national security, efforts have been made in high places to keep information from the public. Newspapers as a whole have always been willing to cooperate in preventing the leakage of data vital to our national safety. They will not however, placidly accept restrictions on their news gathering or on their news commentary which are set up solely to conceal the blunders of government or military officials. The people have a right to know the facts. The press has a right to gather and report on those facts, and to express its views on them. To interfere with these rights is the first step away from freedom of the press and freedom of the individual. Cusing the Republicans of trying to make west "an economic colony of Wall Street That is a sample of “leadership” that Nation does not, and cannot, continue atop of the government of the United States It is as true today as it was in 1863. Aham Lincoln said at Gettysburg that “Government of the people, by the people, not perish from the earth.” Truman can win on his record. On the other hand Dewey promises unite the Nation and to “unsnarl agency Dewey’s promise to “unite us as we peace, seems to be endorsed throughout land. And as for Washington, D. C. promises “the biggest unraveling, unsing, untangling operation in our history.

The people have a right to know the facts. The press has a right to gather and report on those facts, and to express its views on them. To interfere with these rights is the first step away from freedom of the press and freedom of the individual. This newspaper, along with other newspapers, is dedicated to the job of helping to keep the American people the best informed in the world. Indeed, "your right to know is the key to all your liberties." Dewey and Truman Reader, did you ever stop to think how it is possible for a Washington newspaper correspondent to be “non-partisan in politics”? Here’s the answer: He likely takes his big political questions apart and reports the positions taken by the White House and Congress. Right now, President Truman is laying up his own failures on Congress and accusing him of being part of a conspiracy. County Fair Plans Progressing, New Features Added (Continued from Page 1) Orange county residents only, include the community and feature displays, horticulture, including citrus, fruit, nuts, etc. Floriculture, home economics, school displays of wood-working, and poultry, including turkeys, also are included.

At least that's the impression one of the latest banners in Russia tries to convey. Written by Olai Voznesensky, Deputy Premier and member of the Politburo, the book is, in effect expression of the views of the Soviet government. Lend-lease? Apparently the Russians never heard of it. It isn't mentioned in the book. The billions we spent to aid Soviet must have been just our imagination! But what an imagination! It would appear that the Russians won the war not because but in spite of, American help. At any rate Voznesensky has proved one thing: Kremlin propagandists have no peers with it comes to juggling facts and figures to their purpose. They never spoil a good story with the truth.

Sponsored by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations, the Festival is under the direction of Glen Hipes, chairman; E. W. Moeller, manager, and Genevie Drummond, secretary. The Anaheim Festival was originally conceived to divert unrestrained pranksterism into the channel of a supervised program of harmless frolic and entertainment. It has grown steadily into an occasion of merrymaking and enjoyment for adults and youth alike. Originating as a localized event, it has now become an occasion of state and national interest. The Festival officially gets under way with a costume breakfast which will again be held in the city park. Members of the Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce will serve the breakfast to an estimated gathering of over 2500. Other events include the Kid's ards along part of the line of march.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago OCTOBER 11, 1873 We find in the "Alta" of the 7th inst., the following in regard to the possibility of a wet season; "Twenty-four years ago today, we had in this city the first rain of the autumn, or rainy season, and next day a very heavy rain. The first day's rain was about equal to that which fell here yesterday, but that of the 8th was a very heavy soaking storm, with wind at southeast. Thence the weather was delightful until about the 5th of November when the winter rains set in regularly, and we had that season of heavy rains and heavier discomforts which all who experienced and have survived will remember whether the wet season, the foretaste of which was given yesterday is to be like that of "Forty-nine" is uncertain, but commencing about the same date gives us reason to anticipate a wet season. But the rains now do not bring the discomforts of twenty-four years ago."

It is a great satisfaction to know that for all the lives and property lost during the Modoc war, we made four good Indians, the four leaders that Gen. Wheaton slung into the happy hunting grounds last week.

Fears for the walnut crop in the Anaheim district, following a rain of .26 of an inch Sunday night were allayed when Walter Ross, secretary-manager of the Anaheim Walnut Growers Association, announced that the showers had been a benefit rather than a detriment to the crop.

Council Acts Upon Third Annexation (Continued from Page 1) "gentleman's agreement" that Fullerton would not attempt to annex territory south and Anaheim would not look with covetous eyes on property north of Orangethorpe avenue. This agreement, say city officials, has been in effect for many years. Fullerton interests now divulge that it was legally published in Fullerton that some property owners south of the avenue were passing a petition for annexation of the territory to Fullerton. But few read legal notices and nothing was said openly about the proposed raid on territory looked upon as within the Anaheim "sphere of influence" until the Anaheim city council took action. There is a considerable strip of unincorporated territory between the southern city limits of Fullerton and Orangethorpe avenue, but the Orangethorpe elementary school which is on the south side of the avenue is in the Fullerton high school district. The Anaheim city council acted, it was explained this week, when members heard that Fullerton interests contemplated action which would enable that city to make an end run around the west side of Anaheim's proposed annexation along Orangethorpe avenue and take in some of the territory south of Orangethorpe avenue and east of 101 Highway.

Members of the Anaheim delegation went to the conference in response to an invitation which, they said, led them to believe it would be a private attempt to Colorado River. In spite of this situation, Arizona is seeking to build a gigantic new irrigation and power project at a cost of more than a billion dollars. Water for this project could be obtained only by depriving California. "Arizona wants to take water that legally belongs to California," Phillips said. "California taxpayers would pay for Arizona's gigantic project by buying the power it produces. So Arizona would use California's water and get the project for practically nothing." "We want the Supreme Court to settle this dispute, despite Arizona's efforts to prevent the issues from going before the high court. The federal government must be a party to the Supreme Court litigation, because of its interests on the Colorado River, so permission must be secured from Congress to make the United States a party." The trip is arranged by the Colorado River Association. It will visit the Hoover, Davis and Parker dams, see the M.W.D. aqueduct, and drive through the Coachella and Imperial Valleys, before returning to Los Angeles by way of San Diego.
