Oranges Pierce the Iron Curtain This is a picture of children with the first oranges they ever saw in their lives and the picture was taken practically on the Russian border of Poland, 185 miles east of Warsaw! The oranges were sent into Poland by a national radio program to aid a little Polish girl in her fight for health. The fruit left Los Angeles by air on September 30 and arrived at its final destination on October 9. It took a taste test to convince the children that it wasn't just a box of orange colored balls. CYPRESS NEWS Children of Cypress school enjoyed a real treat Tuesday morning when the Coudens of San Juan Capistrano entertained them at two assemblies. The Coudens are veterans of many years of entertaining over the United States and those who attended the entertainment were highly pleased. Their acts were especially fine for all age groups of school children as well as the older kids, in the age group of around fifty and sixty. The magic, juggling and ventriloquism put on by Mr. Couden was of the highest class, smoothest and most finished of any you will find any place. Mrs. Couden thrilled her young friends with her Punch and Judy show, her magic, cloth pictures and her "educated" Collie she called "Honey." Honey's baby, only four months old, was introduced to the assembly and it was announced that he would soon have to start learning his three "R's," too. It isn't often that our girls and boys have a chance to get such fine, clean, wholesome and entertaining shows and our school systems should be encouraged and complimented when they give our youngsters something of this kind. Lynn Lyen celebrated his ninth birthday Thursday. It was more or less of an all day celebration for him. Early in the morning before he left for school he opened some of the presents that had been given to him the day before and at noon his mother and he entertained Miss Dickerson, superintendent, and Miss Harding, his fourth grade teacher, at noon luncheon. After school a group of boys were invited for a party.

After school a group of boys were invited for a party. They played out door games until 5:30 at which time they roasted weiners and marshmallows over an outside bonfire and then came inside for root-beer floats and birthday cake. Card games were then played inside until the parents came after the boys. In the evening Lynn and his mother attended "open house" at Cypress school and the P.T.A. following. Lynn thinks this is the biggest celebration he ever had. The Cypress Volunteer Fire Department have ben helping out this week in the fire emergency in Santa Ana Canyon. They have been taking shifts of six hours each, in groups of three. They were called out at 2:30 a.m. on Monday to help out in the Silverado area. Haskell Kelley had a very close shave with death Monday night on his way home from his new work, driving for the County Sheriff's office in Santa Ana. At about three a.m. a large truck suddenly loomed up in front of him. It was parked square in the middle of the road with no lights on and the driver had the door open on his side of the cab and was on the other side of the truck wiping off the wind shield. The truck driver was also reported as having had too much fire water. Mr. Kelley was able to swerve enough to the left to keep from smashing head-on into the truck but by so doing the entire right side of his new Chevrolet was demolished. He was taken to the doctor where several pieces of glass had to be dug out of his forehead and in the hair line. He is walking with a decided limp from body bruises and strain.

When Mrs. Madge Lyen took her young son, Lynn, to the fair in Anaheim last week, they watched the large ferris wheel go round, resplendent with its multicolored lights. She took a minute and related to the lad the following story: "Lynn, as you know, mother's middle name is Ferris. My parents named me "Madge" from the girl in a popular song that was making the rounds at that time, and gave me the name of "Ferris" for a middle name. Ferris was my mother's maiden name. In 1892 there was a popular young engineer by the name of G. W. G. Ferris, the initials standing for George Washington Gale, who had been turning an idea over in his mind for many months and finally decided on a plan of action. His friends all discouraged him but he kept to his idea and out of that was born the largest, and the first ferris wheel ever built. It was operated for the first time at the Chicago World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. This first ferris wheel was about 250 feet in diameter, carried 36 cars holding 40 passengers each, weighed 1,100 tons, and built at a cost of $300,000. At the close of the fair it was taken down and again set up in St. Louis for a time. Mr. Ferris died a short time after that, in November of 1896. But today, 55 years later, at most every fair, pleasure park, carnival or celebration you will find a ferris wheel of from 20 to PRESS NEWS Of Cypress school enrollees treat Tuesday morning the Coudens of San Juan entertained them at clinics.

A large enthusiastic crowd, with a gratifying number of men, attended the open house and P.-T. A. meeting at Cypress school, Thursday night. The new additions to the school were visited as well as the improvements to the old building viewed. John Hayes, Orange county assistant superintendent of schools was guest speaker. After a few brief remarks, Mr. Hayes led the audience into an open discussion on how the school can help us build our children into good citizens. The seventh graders furnished the program before the discussion, with the seventh grade mothers furnishing refreshments of pie and coffee after for the social hour. It has been announced this week that Miss Elizabeth Dickerson has just been made superintendent of this school district with Paul Winsor taking over the office of principal of Cypress school.

This statement was based in part upon the article "I Led A Double Life", by a Government agent who became a Communist Party member. This article was published in the October 1948 issue of a national magazine and, according to the editors, was confirmed by checking with the chief of the Government bureau which assigned the author to his task. Upon joining the Communist Party the author says he signed his name to the "oath" quoted above. He says also, of the Communist Party, "Whether we believe they can overthrow our government or not, they believe it and are preparing for it!" Since publishing our message, we have received a number of protests, among them a postcard which says: "If that is the best information you have, you better get yourself a new set of informers. Your present ones are a bunch of damned liars. (Signed) A Communist, Phila." There were other just as earnest communications from Communist Party members and such positive denials from an officer and from attorneys of the Communist Party—together with other new evidence—that we now believe our statement quoted above should not have been made, and we are therefore more than willing to withdraw it. We are interested in seeking the truth for ourselves and then disclosing it for those who may wish to examine, in these messages, what we believe we have found to be the truth. Accordingly, we feel it is just and right to make this correction so that a better understanding of the facts may be had by all of us. But in our search for the truth in this matter of current concern to all, our objective is not to determine whether a particular oath has been taken by Communist Party members. What we all want to know is: How dangerous to the safety of our country and to the continuance and improvement of our way of life is the Communist Party? This is a puzzling problem to most everybody, since a firm basis for our beliefs is so hard to come by in the emotional and controversial atmosphere that surrounds any examination of it. But let's, at least, see what certain public officials and authorities—who appear most qualified to know—have to say about this problem... The Preamble of the Constitution of the Communist Party of the United States says: "The Communist Party of the United States is a political party of the American working class, basing itself upon the principles of scientific socialism, Marxism-Leninism." Mrs. Madge Lyen took her son, Lynn, to the fair heim last week, they the large ferris wheel go displendent with its multi-gifts. She took a minute to the lad the follow- "Lynn, as you know, middle name is Ferris. Itts named me "Madge" girl in a popular song making the rounds at and gave me the name for a middle name.

Although later passages of this constitution disavow the use of force, J. Edgar Hoover, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, on March 26, 1947, testified as follows concerning the Communist Party: ". . . as the party of 'Marxism-Leninism' . . . it stands for the destruction of our American form of government; it stands for the destruction of American Democracy; it stands for the destruction of free enterprise; and it stands for the creation of a 'Soviet of the United States' and ultimate world revolution." The head of the F.B.I. said further: "In recent years, the Communists have been very cautious about using such phrases as 'force and violence'. They evade the question of force and violence publicly. They hold that when Marxists speak of force and violence they will not be responsible—that force and violence will be the responsibility of their enemies... that when their class resists to defend themselves then they are thus accused of using force and violence." In any event, we sincerely hope Communism in America will rapidly and then sincerely try to make our way of life here constantly fast course, that a part of our duty is to know and tell how fortunate we need to protect what we have against attacks or fallacious remedies. ANAHEIM WORLD GENERAL ELECTRIC ATTENTION ORANGE GROWERS! Grow larger oranges. Get back in the swim with successful growers Through the courtesy of the California Fruit Growers Exchange we have secured the auction prices of Sunkist oranges for the period from May 10, 1948, through August 31, 1948. The average price per box is as follows: 176's—$7.08 200's—6.65 220's—5.88 252's—5.01 288's—4.43 344's—3.94 Mr. Citrus Grower, do you know what this increased price for larger sizes can actually mean to you: Let us take 288,000 oranges. When packed and sold on auction, these oranges would fill Not only do larger sizes bring more money per box, but the same number of oranges will fill more boxes. This increase in the number of boxes and prices per box should be your goal. Nitrohumus helps you achieve this goal. More and more packing houses are recommending the use of Nitrohumus to their growers because they can see the difference in the Nitrohumus grown oranges—in better production, better quality, as well as larger sizes. Nitrohumus is a soil builder and gives Nature a chance to arrange a balanced diet for plant life. Its outstanding results are achieved because it builds up the soil by adding natural organic fertilizer and by feeding the life of the soil which is the feeding agent for the plant.

For Best Results Try a Classified Ad As announced by the Loyalty Review Board on September 25, 1948, Attorney General Tom C. Clark has listed as subversive and as organizations which seek "to alter the form of government of the United States by unconstitutional means"—the Communist Party, U.S.A.; the Communist Political Association; and the Young Communist League. On May 28, 1942, the Honorable Francis Biddle, then Attorney General in President Roosevelt's Cabinet, made the following findings of fact: "That the Communist Party of the United States of America, from the time of its inception in 1919 to the present time, is an organization that believes in, advises, advocates and teaches the overthrow by force and violence of the Government of the United States." In the course of an opinion delivered in the New York State Supreme Court in 1940, Mr. Justice Pecora declared of the Communist Party: "...it is a political group which actually has its roots in foreign lands. It is subject to the absolute control of persons in those lands who owe no allegiance whatever to our country.... Indeed, its members have potentially obligated themselves even to overthrow our government by force or violence, if that be commanded by the foreigners who would usually compose the majority of the Comintern. ... Grave doubts arise as to whether a person, upon becoming a member of that party does not thereupon take an oath which conflicts with the oath to support our Constitution." In the works of Lenin," the major prophet of Communism, we read: "both in England and America, the 'preliminary condition for every real people's revolution' is the smashing, the destruction of the 'ready-made state machine.'" In his book "Foundations of Leninism", Joseph Stalin, presumably the present head of all the Communist Parties everywhere in the world, writes: "In other words, the law of violent proletarian revolution, the law of the smashing of the bourgeois state machine as a preliminary condition for such a revolution, is an inevitable law of the revolutionary movement in the imperialist countries of the world." And, he writes, further: "...the transition from capitalism to communism, must not be regarded as a fleeting period of 'super-revolutionary' acts and decrees, but as an entire historical era, replete with wars and external conflicts...". And, finally, there is the sworn statement of William Z. Foster, head of the Communist Party in the United States: "When a Communist heads the government of the United States—and that day will come just as surely as the sun rises—the government will not be a capitalist government but a Soviet government, and behind this government..." And, he writes, further: "... the transition from capitalism to communism, must not be regarded as a fleeting period of 'super-revolutionary' acts and decrees, but as an entire historical era, replete with wars and external conflicts ..." And, finally, there is the sworn statement of William Z. Foster, head of the Communist Party in the United States: "When a Communist heads the government of the United States—and that day will come just as surely as the sun rises—the government will not be a capitalist government but a Soviet government, and behind this government will stand the Red army to enforce the dictatorship of the proletariat." There may be two kinds of Communist Party members in the United States: first, those who do knowingly seek the overthrow of our government by force and violence; second, those who are not actually committed to violence. But it seems to us that the second are only the "tools" of the first. And that they have been lured into lending their good names to the support of a party which the public officials and authorities quoted above have said teaches and advocates the overthrow of all other existing governments by force and violence.

In America will rapidly diminish as we all study the problem here constantly fairer in every way for all. Not forgetting, of course how fortunate and well off we are already—and how we fear fallacious remedies while striving to go on to something better. AHEIM WORKS GE ELECTRIC
