ANAHEIM GAZETTE Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange County HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. "HANK" SAYS ... Dathan D. Burns, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emerald Burns, 13131 West street, Garden Grove, enlisted this week in the Army of the United States. Burns graduated this year from Garden Grove Union high school where he earned letters as a guard on the basketball team and as an end on the football squad. He chose the one year enlistment available to 18 year olds under the recently enacted Selective Service Act. Following completion of his term of service Burns plans on continuing his education in college. The path to major's pay will be almost as fast for the enlisted man, under the career guidance plan, as for the officer. This rather startling fact is deserving of the widest publicity, and while the program is still in his first three year enlistment. He can climb into the warrant officer bracket in his third three year enlistment. He can reach the top of the ladder, the 11th grade, major's pay and allowances, in what would be the first part of his fifth three year enlistment or in approximately sixteen years. Sixteen years is then the minimum time scale to reach the top — major's pay and allowance — the 11th grade under the career program. It requires 14 years commissioned service for an officer to reach major's rank and that doesn't count the preliminary academic years or the time spent in enlisted status (with or without time at officer candidate school). On the other hand of course, most officers starting out as second lieutenants will reach major's pay in fourteen years, while few enlisted men will reach major's pay in sixteen years. But the possibilities are there!!! 13 County Men to Be in Uniform By Mid-November (Western News Service) Orange county selective service institution.

This rather startling fact is deserving of the widest publicity, and while the program is still in the planning stage there is every evidence that it will be adopted by both the Army and the Air Force. On this pathway of advancement the Army and Air Force has a fixed scale of advancement so that an enlisted man can now look forward, if he climbs his ladder at top efficiency, reaching the top of the ladder in a fixed and certain period of time.

It may be of interest to some of our newcomers to learn a little of what the early farmers had to contend with. There were no railroads. Everything that came or went to San Francisco was by steamer from Anaheim Landing and freight was high. Between dry years, grasshoppers and bands of wild horses that would get in the grain at night, the farmers had a hard time. Colony Quips Continued from Page 1 causing a tremendous lot of reentment.

Republican national convention declares: "We favor restoration to the states of their historic rights to the tide and submerged lands, territorial waters, lakes and streams."' "In other words, the Republican party doesn't think Mr. Truman is an especially good friend of Texas. He certainly doesn't seem to like But friend or not, a more disturbing angle is the fact that a president or a political party is advocating direct abrogation and violation of a solemn treaty, made on good faith, at the time of Texas' annexation. It is unthinkable that such should be the case, but there it is.

It forces responsible workmen to stand idle or reduce their productive capacity—in a nation that grew to greatness because it knew how to produce!

It listens for underwater cables to signal they're in trouble. Right now the meter shows something's happened... perhaps a sharp submerged rock has cut a cable... and vigilant telephone men using another testing device locate the break that may be miles away. 2. On the job fast, a repair barge grapples for the cable and lifts it from its underwater bed... guided almost to the exact spot by the distant test center. And the moment the break was discovered, other telephone people in the Traffic Control Bureau set up emergency routes to make any delay on your calls as brief as possible. 3. At top speed, skilled workmen splice in a new section and the cable is soon back in service. Although there are hundreds of underwater crossings in the West's many bays and rivers, such emergencies are infrequent. But telephone people are on the job 24 hours a day to keep your telephone ready to work for you any time you need it. 4. When you make a telephone call, you hire a valuable servant for low wages... a more useful servant than ever before. It can do more jobs, run more errands. For today there are twice as many telephones in the West as ten years ago. Thousands more go in each month. And each new phone added makes your telephone that much more useful.
