Colony Quips Whether we are going through the wringer of a depression or have gone through or are heading for the same is a matter that you hear discussed on every hand by men in every walk of life. We all knew that the lush times when you got nothing for your money, not even a smile, could not go on and, if you were honest with yourself, did not want them to go on. We know fairly well now that many enterprises have gone through the squeeze and are emerging all the better for it, some still have that road to travel. But whether you have gone through, are going through or still have a date with the old wringer there is one thing you are going to have to do. You are going to have to accept responsibility. That challenge, in one way or another, will be forced on everyone who is the least bit serious about his citizenship or just his membership in the human race. There are many tests that psychologists use to measure maturity. They measure physical size, weight, etc. But many morons are seven feet tall. Some tests measure mental growth. But how about the Buchenwald gas chambers run by Nazi scientists of great mental aptitude and intelligence? Then there are the people who have poise, who can just do things, including 'making friends and influencing people' and yet we can tell on close inspection that they do ring true and really are not quite grown up or mature. C. of C. Committee Declares Need for Diversification of Industry Here "Spurred by the economic problems facing citrus and also the decline generally in employment the action of the Industrial Committee took on new meaning this year. The need for new sources of income for this company became more intensely apparent as work became densly, more scarce and retail business began to level off." Madge Sproul Resigns Post At High School With deep regret, the board of trustees of the Anaheim Union high school accepted the resignation of Miss Madge Sproul from the faculty. Miss Sproul has taught languages at the high school for twenty-three years and for the past few years has been teaching Spanish. Contracts were offered to two teachers and a salary adjustment. "The committee is more closely conscious of the need for industrial diversification and new emphasis on it to keep balance and stabilize our munity. "The committee is impressed by the report of the National Security Resources Board entitled National Security Factors in the trial Location' which deals the strategic relocation of tries, services, government economic activities, the cohesive operation of which is vital to the nation's security. The decentralization of industry by removal from highly concentrated and vulnerable industries is taking on a more serious consideration." The best test of growth toward maturity is willingness to accept responsibility. The way that a man faces up to the challenge of responsibilities that inevitably confront him in life reveals the stature of his highest part, the thing that we call his soul. People meet these challenges in many ways. We could classify them in four groups. First the lazy, who instinctively turn down responsibility because it means worry and work. If they are talked into taking on a job then they do a good one. But because they avoid responsibility they really can be classed as parasites. Second come the limelight seekers and they never turn down anything that will give them notoriety. They are the ones who hold on to a job as long as possible. They do not care if the initiative in others is stifled. All sorts of organizations are held back by this type of individual blocking the way. You know many if you but stop and think: Next come the carefully prudent who are always ready to do their fair share, but no more. When an emergency or accident occurs they will help if asked but they quietly do what they can to avoid being involved. Do you get what we mean? And then come the wisely daring who know when a job is beyond them or when they have held one long enough or when they are already doing so much that they should not take on another. But they are daring enough to accept responsibility when no one else will. If they honestly feel better success can be had they are willing to strike out on a new path. They are the humble ones who realize their own unworthiness but if the need is real they are ready to accept the responsibility. When you hear the call, and you will, what will your answer be? Thus endeth the lesson. With the completion of 207 issues the Santa Ana Globe has suspended publication. John W. At High School With deep regret, the board of trustees of the Anaheim Union high school accepted the resignation of Miss Madge Sproul from the faculty. Miss Sproul has taught languages at the high school for twenty-three years and for the past few years has been teaching Spanish. Contracts were offered to two teachers and a salary adjustment to another were made by the trustees at their Tuesday evening meeting. Two Contracts Miss Virginia C. Bailey, 40, was offered $3800 to teach ninth grade orientation and counselling. She has been a member of the Fullerton high school faculty. A $3800 contract was also offered Miss Maxine L. Du Coty, 37, to teach tenth grade social living and history. She has been teaching at Modesto. Mr. Chester Branlett, hired in May to teach orientation and counselling was granted a $100 adjustment to his original $3000 contract. Hire Accountant Hired to fill the position of accountant in the school business office, vacated by the death of William Davis, was Mrs. Dorothy Peck who will receive a salary of $255 per month. Mrs. Peck, who is a former employee of the school, will start work July 15. The trustees learned from Superintendent Demaree that the scholarship of Anaheim high students in college was above average. He said that the University of California at Berkeley has reported that none of the 17 Anaheim students entering as freshmen last year had an average below "C." College Students Doing Well Their grade point average was 1.54—several points higher than the state-wide average of 1.37. He also reported that no Anaheim freshmen at UCLA has dropped below a "C" average in the past five years.

Declares Need of Industry Here problems facing citrus crops employment the activities on new meaning this past of income for this communrent as work became, sudsiness began to level off to war competition conditions. This committee is more deepconscious of the need for instrial diversification and places new emphasis on it to keep influence and stabilize our community. The committee is impressed by the report of the National SecurResources Board entitled 'National Security Factors in Indusal Location' which deals with the strategic relocation of indusses, services, government and economic activities, the continuous operation of which is essential to the nation's security. Thus, decentralization of industry removal from highly concented and vulnerable industrial aters is taking on a more seuss consideration. Opportunity There Trustees Grant ‘Unsatisfactory’ Teacher Hearing Mary P. Heinlein, Anaheim high school study hall assistant, gained another round in her attempt to be restored as a “satisfactory” teacher. The board of trustees of the high school at their meeting Tuesday evening granted the request of her attorneys for a public hearing because of the "unsatisfactory teacher" rating that has been written in her contract. Set Hearing The hearing has been set for July 19 at 7:30 p.m., and will be attended by the trustees, a member of the high school faculty and a member of the school administrative department.

Legal Ruling Slashes $4,000 From $10,000 Recreation Program Budget Anaheim’s fine dreams for an all-year recreation program were dealt a rude awakening with the ruling of County Counsel Joel Ogle that the high school district is forbidden from transferring $2000 to the recreation budget. This was learned at Tuesday evening’s board of Trustees meeting when a letter from Ogle was read stating that in his opinion such action by the board was in violation of the State Education Code. Under the code, according to Ogle, any financial contribution of the high school district will have to be through separate agreement with all bills first authorized by the county office and duly itemized. It is expected that a similar ruling will apply to the Anaheim Elementary school district which was to contribute $2000 to the $10,000 annual budget. The city was to contribute $6,000. The ruling presented an unexpected hurdle to PTA and civic groups who after years of research and work thought their goal was reached when the city council adopted an ordinance setting up the recreation board and allowing...
