George Washington George Washington was anything but a hero to some of the people of his day. He was criticized for everything from his politics to his personal habits. But the petty jealousies and personal animosities have passed with the passing of time, and now, a century and a half after his death, we see the man and his deeds in their true perspective. We see him as the inspiring and dauntless leader of the ragged Continental Army, fighting not only the British but the political intrigue against him in Philadelphia. We see him as the influential chairman of the Constitutional Convention who helped to save that convention from collapse. We see him as the wise and farsighted first President of the infant United States. Washington said in a letter to President Adams in 1798, "My whole life has been dedicated to my country in one form or another." Anyone familiar with his career would not doubt that statement. It was largely because of this devotion to his country that the Colonies were able to break free of British rule, it was because of this devotion that he severely rebuked attempts to make him king, it was because of this that he worked to establish a govern- Color Now the Issue Butter processors and distributors have started a new propaganda campaign against another wholesome American product, margarine. The first “publicity” release has been sent out in the name of the American Butter Institute, the National Cream Association and the National Co-op Milk Producers Federation. This is the latest proposition: Representatives of these three dairy organizations will urge a flat ban on the imitation of butter through commercial manufacture or sale of margarine color yellow. It is implied that in return they organizations would not oppose measures Congress or in the state legislatures to move all taxes and license fees now imposed on butter substitutes. “Imitation butter” and “butter substitutes” are ugly terms. In truth, they are crooked terms. Spokesmen for the butcher producers and distributors alone have used them. Margarine manufacturers have called their product by any name other than its correct name. They have advertised it a wholesome, nutritious food, but not as imitation of butter or as a butter substitute. The Pure Food and Drugs Act and the law against misuse would attend to that.” him as the wise and farsighted first President of the infant United States. Washington said in a letter to President Adams in 1798, "My whole life has been dedicated to my country in one form or another." Anyone familiar with his career would not doubt that statement. It was largely because of this devotion to his country that the Colonies were able to break free of British rule, it was because of this devotion that he severely rebuked attempts to make him king, it was because of this that he worked to establish a government of laws and not of men. Whatever the objections were to Washington's politics and personal habits, the point to be noted is that time has obscured his critics while revealing his true stature. The honor we pay him on this 217th anniversary of his birth is an honor well deserved by a great leader who helped lay the foundations of a great nation. MRS.

ONE OF TODAY'S BIGGEST BARGAINS How your telephone gives you more real value today in spite of sharply-increased costs of furnishing service 1. For a quick call to the druggist, for business, for every purpose, your telephone is a more valuable servant today than ever. It can run more errands, do more jobs. In the past ten years, telephones on the Coast have doubled. We're continuing to add them rapidly. Result: You can get in touch with more people. More people can get in touch with you. 2. If you could see how much expensive equipment goes to work for you each time you make a call, you might wonder how it can be done...for just a few dollars a month. Lines, cables, poles, buildings, intricate equipment—all must be ready along with the people who man them...to serve you when you pick up your telephone. 3. More "Voices with a Smile" are serving the West today...our payroll is the biggest ever. Postwar costs have shot up all along the line on the things we do to provide service. The facilities to serve new telephones today cost about twice as much as prewar. Yet telephone rates are up much less than almost anything we buy or you buy. 4. There is no way to determine the full value of a telephone, of course. A call may be routine—or it may save a life, make a new friend, close a business deal. Yet a few pennies still buy a telephone call. In these days of high prices, it's good to know that your telephone keeps giving you real value—it's one of today's biggest bargains. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company Your telephone gives you more service today than ever before IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago March 7, 1874 Vasquez and his gang stopped the Los Angeles and Solidad stage at a point between Mill Station and Solidad and went through the passengers to the tune of $300.
