Colony Quips Several times in every persons' life it becomes their pleasure and privilege to come in contact with a personality who gives them a moral, spiritual and mental uplift that has great effect on their future life and conduct. It has been our good fortune to know two men of this type. One has passed on to his reward, the other has lived among us for some years but is soon to go on to larger fields of his calling. Both of these happened to be men of the cloth and of different denominations but both went about doing good. One we knew in college and one in the later days while striving here in Anaheim. Both did and one is still doing far more than their actual 'job called for. Anaheim has been fortunate for the past years to have Rev. Henry Gross bring his pastorate to St. Eustace Catholic church. The communicants of St. Boniface have, indeed, been greatly blessed by the ministrations of this kindly priest and gentleman. But the whole town and area has been bettered by his unfailing interest and help in the problems that are always with us and during the difficult war years were so greatly magnified. He knew what to do and set the example for so many of us. His influence went far beyond the membership of his parish and they should be glad for they were the real reason he resided among us. The love he engendered and the friends he made Rev. Henry Gross Public School To Feature A Grade School Plans for Anaheim observance of Public Schools include a special Anaheim day night at 7:30 o'clock house on campus from schools' combined Center gold rush, Thursday night o'clock in the AUHS auditorium were announced today. This two-fold school district gram is being arranged in association with Anaheim Lodge 207, F. & A. M., with Baineycroft acting as chairmant Masonic lodge of Chelsea launched the first state objection of Public Schools Week years ago and has continued dedication itself to this annual gram. AUHS Program-Open As is the custom each Anaheim Union high school department are feature a huge assembly program the public, with this year Father Gross Transferred to Los Angeles Reverend Henry Gross is leaving Anaheim and St. Boniface church. At a meeting of the Consultors of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon, the Most Reverend Archbishop McIntyre announced that Father Gross would be transferred from St. Boniface to St. Basil's church, Los Angeles, on May 10, to succeed the late Monsignor Edward R. Kirk. Coming from Nativity parish, Los Angeles, replacing Father Gross is Rev. Maurice Dee. Father Gross came to Anaheim twelve years ago this month—in April of 1937. He was ordained in Rome, Italy, in 1937 and attended the North American college there. Sails for Europe On June 22, Father Gross will sail from New York City aboard the Queen Mary for a two month tour of shrines in Europe, stopping at Lourdes, France, and Rome. This pilgrimage which will mark his first visit to Rome since he was ordained there 32 years ago. The tour is being led by Archbishop Mitty of San Francisco and will be made by clergy and people of the west coast. From Rome the party will return through Belgium, Great Britain and Ireland, returning to New York aboard the Queen Mary on August 12. Kick-Off Party For Talent Show All vocal, instrumental, dramatic and variety artists are invited to attend a kick-off talent party for Anaheim Antics, Community Chest benefit show, April 29, Friday night at 7:30 o'clock, in the Elks club.

Many concerns have not yet found this out but soon will—the hard way. We do not mean to imply that our economic structure is leaking at the seams and about to go into the ditch. Neither do we mean that another shot of socialism, communism, or any other serum is needed for that sort of thing will only prolong the convalescence and leave the piper with a larger bill to be paid. The answer is much simpler. We simply have to go back to work. When we get a dollar we will have to put out some work and effort in order that it will be worth more. When we trade our dollar, which represents our work, we want it to get as much for us as we have put out to get it. If we have slacked, soldiered and stolen to get ours then it really is not worth much and the chances are that what we buy was produced the same way so all parties tend to get less and less. You can carry this sort of thing on and on but it just gets worse and worse. Any way you lock at it there will be a jerk at the end. And you can't help but be that jerk yourself. Business is still business and if it is not run at a profit then the whole thing will blow up and many will get hurt. As it is with everything else the only place you can do something about it is right at home—that is with yourself. There is where you can practice the 'Golden Rule' of living and cast your bread upon the water in the full hope that it will come back—and it will. This it will do if you do your part to create the proper philosophical background. This, again, is very simple. Buy as you would sell. Produce for your medium of exchange as you hope to get for the medium of exchange you have created.
