A Threat to Family Newspapers There are bills pending in the House and Senate of the United States which if enacted into laws would hit the publishers of "Family Weekly" and daily newspapers in communities of from 3,000 to 5,000 population, below the belt. Congressman Russell V. Mack of the state of Washington has gone to bat for the publishers of "Family Newspapers." He has taken up the question of price boosts of publishers postage rates with the Post Office Department and he says that the rates that have been asked for in the bills before Congress are a serious threat to publishers. The present rate of newspaper postage for city delivery within a county is 1 cent per pound. The proposed rate is 4 cents per pound. Rural delivery within the county is free. The proposed rate is 1 cent. These figures indicate that the proposed rates would add up to a boost of 500 per cent and probably 700 per cent. of Public Schools Week have wisely chosen as the glogan of the occasion, "The Lamp of Freedom—the Public School." The public school system is part and parcel of the American way of life. It is in the public school, rural as well as urban, that the seed of democracy is planted and nourished. Day by day and year after year, students grow in their awareness and understanding of the principles of freedom and the responsibilities of citizenship in a democracy. The public school system imposes a grave responsibility on the legion of teachers entrusted with the education of the youth of the land. It is a responsibility delegated by the public and it is wise from time to time that both teachers and students should have the opportunity of giving an accounting of what is being done. That is the reason for Public Schools Week. Every public school, no matter how small will hold open house during this week. Men and women are urged to visit a The present rate of newspaper postage for city delivery within a county is 1 cent per pound. The proposed rate is 4 cents per bound. Rural delivery within the county is free. The proposed rate is 1 cent. These figures indicate that the proposed rates would add up to a boost of 500 per cent and probably 700 per cent. In the opinion of Congressman Mack more increases of rates on editions of newspapers carrying a profitable amount of advertising could give postal authorities the power to revoke the second class mail rate to publishers. The statement made in the House of Representatives in protest of this threat to weekly newspapers prompted Congressman Mack to notify the publishers of Washington state just what they are up against. He says that the high cost of reading would be as disastrous as the high cost of living. Our publishers everywhere are up against a real proposition that the lawmaker declares "would weaken the 10,500 weekly newspapers of our country and bring financial difficulties to most of them." Why not write to Congressman Mack and back him up? The Lamp of Freedom Once more California pauses to take stock of its system of free education with the advent of the 30th annual Public Schools Week, April 25 to 30. With free men the world over girding themselves to protect their heritage of freedom, the sponsors L. H.

Los Angeles St. Anaheim Phone 3404 IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago May 2, 1874 On Tuesday evening last Enterprise hall was the scene of one those pleasant gatherings in which Anaheim superiminently excels. The occasion was the opening night of a fair and festival under the supervision of the ladies connected with the Presbyterian church and for the purpose of obtaining funds to liquidate the debt which still remains upon the church organ. Fancy articles and ribles were for sale and on Wednesday evening a program of vocal and instrumental music, the whole concluding with a burlesque entitled "The Spirit of '76" or The Coming Woman." We are informed that the gross receipts of the Fair amounted to almost $200. In our researches in and about the old Mission church at San Juan Capistrano we discovered written on a pillar in a part of the church, where the altar is said to have been, the following lines which we give verbatim in order to assist the poet (?) in perpetuating his memory: "In this sacred doom where Choirs have chaunt and sung Now numerous swallows Hatch and nurse their young" Thomas Swaney—1872. On next Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. Kellogg will preach from the text, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as Thyself." If we mistake not, he intends making a rmon of local significance. four Viscounts and seventeen Lords make up the list of peers who wear the apron and have ridden the goat. Neither Mr. Gladstone or Mr. Disraeli is a Mason. Probably for the same reason that the Duke of Wellington never learned to dance. Messrs. John Fischer, John P. Zeyn and E. W. Champlin leave for San Francisco on Wednesday. The latter as representative to the Grand Lodge of IOOF which convenes in Vallejo on May 12. Mr. Saxon in a few days, will further adorn his beautiful home by the erection of an "Economy" wind-mill which he has purchased from Heiman & George, the agents for Anaheim. M. L. Goodman left for San Francisco last Tuesday. A natural consequence will be that the firm of which he is a member will soon have several heavy freight bills to pay. No services will be held in the Catholic church until May 24. Rev. Philip Farley informs us that in a short time a priest will be sent here to reside permanently. We omitted to mention last week that the old Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Water Company were unanimously re-elected. Much interest is felt in the contemplated narrow gauge railway between Bolsa Chica Landing and Planners Ask City Att'y, 'Are Chicks Animals?' (Continued on Page 2) Saturday handicraft classes and daily vacation Bible school at 1303 West North street was denied. Rev. and Mrs. Bennett appeared on behalf of the variance and voiced the need for such a school, and stated that it would not become a nuisance or create a public disturbance in the neighborhood. Residents Object Voicing objections were Howard Loudon, Carrie Southerland and Mrs. Marvins, residents of the area, who protested the location of a "tent church" in a single family residence zone. Objections were to location and not to the sincerity or work done: Also getting the negative nod was the petition of James Requarth and Pearl J. Fitzgerald for permission to use the existing building at the rear of 128 West Broadway, for an automotive repair shop. The commissioner passed on a recommendation of approval to the county planning commission of the petition of Mr. Dale to establish a self-service gas station on Highway 101, south of Orange-thorpe with the proviso that there be an additional five foot setback. stood that the board contemplates abolishing the office of city manager. When the office was created some years ago the action did not meet the approval of a large portion of the population and these opponents are of the same opinion still. Clyde Butler, deputy city manager and engineer will act as chief until some action is taken. City attorney Weisel, who has ably filled the office for the past four years retires from the job and Wm. P. Webb, Jr., was unanimously chosen for the job. Webb is one of the boys who followed the 200 Trophies For Dog Show.

The strenuous quarantine laws against the dreaded foot and mouth disease of animals have apparently effectually checked the spread of the plague. In Orange county business has been demoralized, recreation interfered with and yet there has not been a single case in the county.

WASHINGTON AS SEEN By Congressman JOHN PHILLIPS The next time somebody says that the Federal government appropriated a billion dollars, I want you to say, "You mean $71!" I say to my secretaries that I wish I could get you in California a quarter as interested in our trend toward national socialism and in the threat of national bankruptcy as you are in the Oriental fruit fly and yellow oleo and postage rates. You must get your money thinking down to terms of everyday understanding if you are to save the Republic. I could ask if you thought a million dollars was a lot of money and you'd say, "Of course." I could remind you that a billion is 1000 millions. I could lay dollar bills end to end around the globe. That won't do. So my new unit of Federal spending—is 7 bucks. If there are 150 million people in the United States, then appropriating one billion dollars in Washington, means $28 for each family. Actually, it means more in Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties, because we'll have to admit, modestly, that we're over the average in living standards, and incomes. We have to make up for districts below the average. Congress authorized 5.38 billions for foreign aid. Everybody ready? staff, my subcommittee took 1.4 billions off one appropriation bill, and we only started with 9 billions. "You mean you saved me $10." Thursday, we passed the appropriation bill for the Independent Offices; my subcommittee. That was 7.1 billions. "You mean $49.70." To the average family, $198.80. After the recess, we'll implement the Atlantic Pact. How much? Rumor says 2 billions. "You mean $14." That's $56 for the average family. I rise to ask, if we need that 2 billions, do we still need 15.9 billions for Army, Navy and Air? Do we need millions for the Atomic Bomb? Is there any connection between billions for war, and billions for peace? Can we spend for everything without coordination? A billion is still a billion. Now, all together. "$7 is still $7." $28 for the average family; more for a family in the 22nd District.

Mr. Hoffman doesn’t expect to need 5 billions. How much did we try to save? All ready? “$7.” What could you do right now with $7? $28 in your family? More than that average in the 22nd District. Wednesday we put through the appropriation bill for the Army, Navy Air Force. 15.9 billions. All ready? “You mean $111.30.” For the average family $445.20. More for each family in the 22nd District.
