Colony Quips From the vantage point of beautiful Avalon bay we had, last week, the opportunity, while gaining a sun tan between swims, of thinking about this area we call home and evaluating it as a place to live and work and also about the niche we and this newspaper we're trying to fill. We thought about our many good readers and also about the host of new ones, God bless 'em, we have gained recently. The Gazette makes no pretense to metropolitan journalism, leaving the "spot" news and nerve tingling scoops to the large dailies where it rightfully belongs. We carry no stories for which our readers wait with baited breath. We try to make it a newspaper which may be read with pleasure at any time. There is a field in which the small community newspaper excels. And that is covering the news of its own neighborhood. If news is local in this area then the Gazette wants it. Our chief stock in trade is friendliness. It has no enemies to punish and desires only to hold up before its readers a cheery optimistic mirror in which you may see the best side of the community of which you are, after all, part of the reflection. We see the good side and leave to others the report of the bad. Having done many things ourselves of which we are heartily ashamed we always feel slightly hesitant about criticizing the shortcomings of others. So far as our experience teaches all hu- ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXVIII FIVE CENTS ANAHEIM, OR City-Church All-Star Game Set for Friday Top sluggers of the City and Church leagues will meet in their third annual all-star game, Friday evening, August 19 for the benefit of the Junior League banquet fund. Although the Church leaguers present a fat team batting average of .346, to the City leaguers .312, the softball twirling trio of Cram, Perez and Vukosonvich gives the city boys the edge in the municipal classic. Seating capacity of the city park has been increased to 1,000 with the setting up of bleachers for the event. All proceeds will go towards satisfying the gallon-size appetites of the 270 pint-size athletes of the city's recreation program. The Junior League banquet climaxes yearly the summer recreation program which this year broke all previous records in number of activities and participants. In addition to giving the kids all Reynaldo Robles Reynaldo Robles To Appear At Optimist Show Reynaldo Robles, baritone singing star of "Anaheim Antics" will appear at the Optimist's Anaheim Coilier's magazine, with their new staff of Hearst trained editors, has given a lot of interesting publicity to Mr. Arthur H. Samish and has tabbed him as "the man who secretly controls the state." To the person who does not understand what goes on in Sacramento this title gives the impression that constituted authority has broken down and that a lobbyist need only to snap his fingers to get anything done. From our personal knowledge this is not the case. It is true, however, that the interests Mr. Samish represents are well taken care of and seem to have little cause for complaint. Any individual in the state who belongs to any organization, be it a chamber of commerce, labor union, business association, or conservation club is represented by a paid lobbyist in Sacramento. If, for instance, or fishing conservation measures are not passed by the legislature then we start looking around for a new lobbyist. It is the same way in elections for we tend to vote for the candidate that will promise us the most and not for the one with the greatest integrity who might step on our playhouse. This is the attitude on the part of the people that makes it possible and almost imperative that all groups have a representative in the legislative battles. The thing that sets Arthur Samish at the head of the list in many minds is simply the fact that he gets more publicity and understands just how to get people to talk about him. This is his stock in trade and makes his employers realize just how valuable he is to them.

All proceeds will go towards satisfying the gallon-size appetites of the 270 pint-size athletes of the city's recreation program.

In addition to giving the kids all of the hamburgers, ice cream and pop they can consume, awards to the members of the teams in each of the "A" and "B" leagues and a trophy to the outstanding Junior Leaguer of the year will be made. All-star lineups for the game appears in the Sports Section of today's Gazette. Polio Cases Reach 115 Sacramento (WNS)—New polio cases in California totaled 115 last week, according to the State Department of Public Health. Counties reporting cases and the number follow: Alameda, 4; Contra Costa, 1; Fresno, 7; Humboldt, 6; Kern, 5; Los Angeles, 46; Marin, 2; Nevada, 3; Orange, 6; Placer, 2; Riverside, 6; Sacramento, 3; San Bernardino, 1; San Diego, 4; San Mateo, 3; Santa Clara, 3; Santa Cruz, 1; Solano, 2; Stanislaus, 3; Yuba, 1; Tulare, 1 and Yolo 3. The department said the number of communicable disease cases reported had dropped, with 316 cases of mumps, 138 of measles and only 116 of chickenpox. Buggy Ride Is Still Safest Mode of Travel Sacramento, (WNS)—The old-fashioned girl who still yearns for a buggy ride apparently has the right idea about safety, says the California Highway Patrol, as statistics show not a single fatality for the past two years resulting from collisions between motor vehicles and horse-drawn vehicles. Of course, the point will be raised that there are not too many horse-drawn vehicles today compared with the number of auto-seating capacity of the city park has been increased to 1,000 with the setting up of bleachers for the event.

Reynaldo Robles To Appear At Optimist Show Reynaldo Robles, baritone singing star of "Anaheim Antics" will appear at the Optimist's Anaheim Talent Night, Thursday evening, August 25 at La Palma park, it was announced today by J. W. Stephen, program chairman. His singing of "Ole Man River" stopped the Community Chest last spring at the four nights of its run. Purpose of the show is to raise funds for a proposed $20,000 Junior Optimist Recreation club, providing facilities for supervised youth activities. Top stars to be featured at the Talent Night include Sybil Ring and her majorttes, Val Moore's Hawaiian dancers and Bobby Martin's accordion band. Under the Stars The show will be presented under the stars at La Palma park on a stage to be constructed at home plate. Other entertainers performing include Sylvester Brown in rope artistry; the Maletta Brothers, tumbling team; Floyd Lewis, electric guitar and musicians from the Buttres, Schumacher and Anaheim Conservatory of Music studios. Bud Paschall will lead the audience in community singing with the assistance of the Optimist Band. Television Set A $795 Zenith combination television-radio-phonograph will be given away with all dollar donors eligible for the prize. The donation includes admission to the show. Co-chairmen of the big event are Al Garey and Earnie Bullock. Committee chairmen include: J. W. Stephens, program; Harwood Larson, advertising; Louis Larson, program editor; Al Rigley, tickets and C. O. Garshwiler, treasurer. Dr. Elton Spires, vice-president of Optimist International will be honored guest at the show as will be the boys from the Los Angeles Optimist Home. Walt Gooden, president of the local club said the Optimist building drive is in keeping with the program of Optimist International and local Optimist Clubs in fulfilling their motto and pledge. This is the attitude on the part of the people that makes it possible and almost imperative that all groups have a representative in the legislative battles. The thing that sets Arthur Samish at the head of the list in many minds is simply the fact that he gets more publicity and understands just how to get people to talk about him. This is his stock in trade and makes his employers realize just how valuable he is to them. These articles in Collier's will, perhaps, get him a raise. As long as the voter uses any method to decide who he will vote for except the yardstick of integrity then there will be bigger and better lobbyists. If anyone has a contemplated trip to Europe we have a little first hand information for them from the former pastor of St. Boniface church, Rev. Henry Gross. His advice is not to take the trip in the summer months as he found France and Italy too hot for comfort. Switzerland and Ireland were cool but his group returned to New York on one of the hottest days of the year, 98.7 degrees with the humidity standing at 75. Father Gross reports that the tour was very interesting and instructive and if the trip had been made in the spring or autumn they would have had delightful weather. He plans to be back in southern California around Labor Day making the trip home by automobile with several stopovers. His many friends here will be glad to hear of his safe return and will be waiting for the time they can see him assume the purple robes of a Monsignor. A reporter claims that nothing infuriates a woman so much as to have guests drop in unexpectedly and find the house looking like it usually does. Sacramento, (WNS)—The old-fashioned girl who still yearns for a buggy ride apparently has the right idea about safety, says the California Highway Patrol, as statistics show not a single fatality for the past two years resulting from collisions between motor vehicles and horse-drawn vehicles. Of course, the point will be raised that there are not too many horse-drawn vehicles today compared with the number of automobiles, but the horse lovers still claim other collisions are entirely too high. They cite the following highway fatality figures for 1948 to prove their point: Motor vehicles in collision with pedestrians killed 939; with other motor vehicles 1,078; with trains 154; with street cars 27; bicycles or tricycles 40; with fixed objects 291. So the cry, "Get a horse" may be heard again throughout the land. Community Chest Budget to be Presented Mon. Eve At an open meeting of the Anaheim Community Chest officers and board of directors, budgets will be presented by Louis Hoskins. The meeting will be held at the city hall, convening at 7:45 p.m. Monday evening, August 22. All those who are interested in this work are invited to attend the meeting and take part in the program. Howard Sill, Navy Airman, Training At NAS San Diego Howard F. Still, aviation chief machinist's mate, USN, husband of Mrs. H. F. Still of 9461 Houston road, Anaheim, is presently engaged in a series of training schedules in gunnery and instrument familiarization as a member of Navy Fighter Squadron 111, based at the Naval Air Station, San Diego, California. When the squadron goes to sea for qualifications and training, it operates from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Valley Forge. Last year Squadron 111 took the Navy "E" pennant, awarded to the most efficient unit on the west coast. It's a pretty good sign that the honeymoon is over when the bride starts complaining about the noise hubby makes getting breakfast.

The directors agreed to accept the proposal of Engineer Ewald Lemcke to select a qualified engineer who would direct the design and construction of all of the works proposed in the engineers' reports. Lemcke contended the present stalemate was the result of only two items, "policy of engineering design and personnel." Once the districts could agree on a construction engineer they should then be able to appoint a chief engineer-general manager to operate under the provisions of the joint administrative agreement, said Lemcke.

Exchange 'Mad' Over Increased Freight Rates Fighting mad over the latest increase in rail freight rates on citrus fruit, the California Fruit Growers Exchange has called a special meeting of its traffic committee this week to review the critical transportation situation with a view to increasing non-rail movement to the major markets. "We have fought every increase that has been granted during the past two years," states R. C. Neill, traffic manager of the Sunkist organization. "We have stated the case of the citrus shipper completely and fairly. It is obvious that the railroads have little interest in the future of our very desirable tonnage and we must look for other means of transportation." 4 Million Increase The increased rate on citrus will up the total annual freight bill for the citrus industry by about $4 million in a normal year. On top of the increased freight rate, the so-called "wartime" Federal tax on shipments will add another $110 thousand annually. Before the increase went into effect, the industry was paying an annual freight bill of more than $60 mil- Lemcke contended the present stalemate was the result of only two items, "policy of engineering design and personnel." Once the districts could agree on a construction engineer they should then be able to appoint a chief engineer-general manager to operate under the provisions of the joint administrative agreement, said Lemcke. It was moved by Chairman Virgil Reed and carried that the members of steering committee of districts 1, 2, 3 and 11 meet with Engineer Lemcke and work out a program based on his report and present it to the steering committee members of the abstaining four in an attempt to reach agreement before next Wednesday's board meeting. City attorney Preston Turner advised the directors to explore every possibility of joint settlement before considering independent action. He declared that progress was necessary in view of the pending litigation threatened by the state board of health. Such action would accomplish nothing and would be time consuming and expensive, he said. Junior C. of C. Fetes Southland Clubs of Elks Eighty Junior Chamber of Commerce men from the eighth district of the organization representing clubs in ten southland cities were hosted by the local Junior Chamber last evening at the Elks Club. Jim Grubbs, district vice-president was principal speaker at the monthly meeting which met in Anaheim for the first time since the founding of the local club. Also present at the dinner gathering were Warren Ashleigh, president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce; Slats Kraljiev, district secretary and Phil Molan, national director. Entertainment featured Professor Lyman of Santa Ana who presented his ever popular program of mental telepathy, using members of the audience for "stage props." Cities represented included: Santa Ana, El Segundo, Wilmington, Bellflower, San Pedro, Downey, Inglewood, Long Beach and 4 Million Increase The increased rate on citrus will up the total annual freight bill for the citrus industry by about $4 million in a normal year. On top of the increased freight rate, the so-called "wartime" Federal tax on shipments will add another $110 thousand annually. Before the increase went into effect, the industry was paying an annual freight bill of more than $60 million. Since January, 1947 the cost of getting California citrus fruit to the eastern market has increased 25 cents per box. Executives of the Exchange have repeatedly warned the railroads that California citrus was being priced out of many major markets of the country and that unless relief was forthcoming, other means of transportation would be used. Truck Shipments Truck shipments of California citrus have been increasing steadily, particularly to western and middlewestern markets. Over 45 percent of Exchange movement on the Pacific Coast and in the mountain states has gone by truck this year. Last June, the first direct truck shipments moved into the Chicago market and shippers are hopeful that additional truck movement can be made. Florida citrus shippers moved about 35 thousand carloads by truck during the season just past and Texas shippers moved about 50 percent of their volume by the same method last year.

Report Surplus Of Migrant Labor Sacramento, (WNS)—A surplus of migrant labor throughout California today brought a warning from Edward F. Hayes, chief of farm placement for the department of employment, to stay on the job as long as possible. "Many workers," he said, "are being disappointed when moving to a new crop area, to find no jobs or living quarters available." Workers were advised by Hayes to move as little as possible to save useless and expensive travel throughout the state. When you save and turn back to the channels of trade your waste paper, your copper waste and your scrap iron in small or large quantities you are helping your country. The fight for the heavyweight boxing championship between John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain, in 1889, was fought with bare knuckles and lasted 75 rounds.
