Colony Quips With this issue the Gazette again includes a fifty year ago column thus augmenting the 'Days of Long Ago' to the previous content before the editorial department that handles this feature went on too many vacations to write all three. We have been demanding the inclusion of this fifty year stuff for some time, due to the insistence of many readers, but we were flatly told to mind our own business. Being slightly outranked by the party handling the stuff this is exactly what we did. But with this new series we have the three columns complete and our scalp is still intact. We may as well explain, in this regard, that the handling of this feature needs careful handling and editing because of the different status, from a community and economic standpoint, that many of the individuals in these columns have today. Some very good stories have to be omitted altogether because since the episode that we left out the individual has led a righteous and upright life. We have no desire to call attention to anything that had better be left in the closet. Let no one with an uneasy conscience get jittery because we are not in the blackmail business—yet. We are making no predictions on the coming election, especially on how Texas is going to go, but below is a reprint from the Bellville, Austin County, Texas, Times. We are making no predictions on the coming election, especially on how Texas is going to go, but below is a reprint from the Bellville, Austin County, Texas, Times. You can draw your own conclusions and make your own predictions. The mere fact that this newspaper, which is really deep in the heart of Texas, will handle such stuff as the appended article is a pretty good indication that Mr. Truman will not get the votes he needs from the Lone Star state. From the Bellville Times: REPUBLICANS. "A rich heritage of the school children of Texas, and a sacred trust of all true Texans, are the submerged lands along the state's coast, which are now producing petroleum and other valuable products," says a pamphlet prepared and distributed by the Republican party. When the pamphlet adds that more than $34,000,000 in royalties and bonus money have been received from this source, the statement certainly leaves no room for argument. "Now comes the meat from the cocoanut." "But now President Truman claims that Texas school children have no right to these lands, that they belong to the federal government, and he has directed his attorney general to bring suit against Texas for possession of them," the pamphlet continues. "When Congress undertook to confirm the title of Texas school children to these lands, Senator Alben Barkley, now the Democratic candidate for vice-president, vigorously opposed the measure and voted against it. And when, in spite of this opposition, the measure was passed, President Truman vetoed it." "The Republican national convention ... declared that these lands should remain the property of the school children of Texas and that their titles should be confirmed by congress. The Republican platform adopted by the Re-Continued on Page 2" Dick Golden to Leave Hospital Dick Golden, 17 Anaheim high Laguna Pastor Is Speaker at Rotary Luncheon A talk entitled "Hold fast those things that are Sacred" was presented to the Anaheim Rotary Club at luncheon meeting Monday by Rev. O. H. Tietjen, pastor of the Laguna Beach St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Rev. Tietjen emphasized the necessity of maintaining the high and noble principles on which this country was built and the continuance of the same caliber of building for our posterity. "The greatest danger we face today," he said, "is the trend toward disintegration of the unity and strength of the American home and the weakening of the place of the church in American life." The pastor urged the necessity of standing up for and practicing the basic sacred laws as found in the Decalog of Moses. This, he said is the best defense against Communism and the only way to avoid destruction. The speaker was introduced by Dr. Erwin Kersten who was program chairman for the day. President Joe Thompson gave special recognition to the members who were winners of the seven trophies that were on display at the head table. These were won at the big Rotary County Council field day and barbecue held at the Lakewood Country Club, (Continued on Page 2) Thomas V. Scott, a Former Resident, Dies in Oregon Thomas V.

Because of this design, the sound system can serve virtually any type of show and seating arrangement. It carries its own power generator and is completely self-contained.

A bond issue totaling $575,000 is proposed by the board.
