In an editorial yesterday, we said: "... we hope to deserve the confidence our new subscribers have given us." So, to lay it on the line, the Gazette is out to get 10,000 family-subscribers to this newspaper. We believe the potential is here (including new families moving to this area) if we are good enough to get them. The slogan, "Be a Charter Member of the Gazette First 10,000 Club" is something of a battle cry for us. It reminds us that we have to be good to get you folks to join up with us in this community newspaper. We know you haven't got five bucks to toss around lightly. We know we have to earn your respect and your interest in our newspaper before we can earn your subscription. So that we may feel a little closer to our subscribers—the people who make this community what it is (and who, incidentally, will make or break us)—we are banding them all together in our club: The Gazette First 10,000 Club. You know, when YOU are a member of this club you not only get our paper, but you are the PEOPLE—the people who can give us the benefit of your advice and guidance on how we all can make this newspaper a community newspaper, the people who can stand right up and tell us what to put in your Gazette... The people who have a real share in this newspaper. (WASHINGTON. — Short fore Trygve Lie left New York on his current mission to the United Nations, now important mission to Moscow). WASHINGTON. — Short fore Trygve Lie left New York on his current mission to the United Nations, now important mission to Moscow. For the secretary-general United Nations thinks the situation is in a very dark state—not because of an diplate threat of war but because of the U.N. is threatened for life. This is the reason for a trip to Moscow. "I am going to tell the told a friend before he left do you want to do about the ed Nations; we must decide because in another six months if the deadlock broken, this organization will lapse." Lie added that he think Soviets recognize that they out has been a blunder, the Berlin blockade was der. But Russia is a big and it cannot extricate itself this situation without some saving.

The people who have a real share in this newspaper. Remember, Sunday is Mother’s Day Mother's Daay is almost upon us. Next Sunday the day will be observed by fathers, sons, and daughters everywhere, who will pause for awhile to honor the grandest person in the world. There will be mothers, cards, gifts for mother, visits with mother, and other greetings for mother. Now, sitting down to write an editorial on mother isn't the easiest thing in the world, although at first blush you would think there would be plenty to say: Thing of it is, it all has been said, you've heard it often before, and you've read all the wonderful things which have been said about mother—from experts with words. Above all, you have experienced the emotions only a mother can give to her family. So, since there is nothing left to say, the purpose of this message is to remind you that right now you had better slip out and get mother a greeting card, a little gift, order some flowers, figure on a telegram, or plan a telephone call. There is still time. So please don't forget it. We believe it will mean a lot to mother—and you. Drew Pearson (Gnash! Cheer!) The Gazette has signed up Drew Pearson to pen a little editorial page column every day. It is called "The Waashington Merry-Go-Round." The first effort is on this page today. Now some of you staid folk are going to raise your eyebrows and perhaps wonder why we are giving space to a guy who gets into a little (ahem!) controversy now and then. Well, cuss ol' Drew's onnery hide, he does slap people in high places around once in awhile—and, incidentally, gets kicked around in the bargain now and then. What come out of it all? Simply a lot of interesting (and informative) reading. And, we are all in favor of bringing you interesting (and informative), reading . . . by all types and shades of writers. We know you are going to gnash your teeth once in awhils while perusing a Pearson column. But, that's fun too! Glives you an outlet to blow off steam. Tell you what. Read Drew Pearson pretty carefully. You'll like his breezy style and his stuff often is fascinating. Then, just watch out. You'll catch yourself once in a while (even in polite, staid company) saying: "Well, now on that, Drew Pearson says . . ." We betcha you are going to read Pearson's works regularly.

But Russia is a big and it cannot extricate itself from this situation without some saving. Here he made a circle with his thumb and finger, and peeped through said: "Some little peephole some little peephole." Since then the search for peephole has been made by the British Foreign Office the French. The final result depends on Lie's talks in New York. Most Americans think of Lie as a stout, cornerstone character, with a heavy Soviet accent, who does so or other at the United Nations. This vagueness is part fault. He has operated for years on the conviction that secretary-general of the should keep out of contact. But he has changed in few months. Lie is now ing some of the fire he displays when at 16, he be local president of the No-Labor Party—or the kind he displays now on a Long Island tennis court when the six games to six and he break the deadlock. For, in these last months five-year term as secretary-lie is determined to the deadlock of the cold war is throwing his old cauliflower winds. He doesn't care more whether he has the aid of the state Department. Actually, he lost it. In fact, is that the State Department to sidetrack his mission to cow. As a European, and essex as ex-premier of a country—a long border adjoining Lie is fearfully worried. He the policy of both sides—calling and arms building lead to an eye-for-an-eye bomb-for-a-bomb. And his egypt is to try to knock the heads of what Europeans gates call "les deux grenades" two bigs."

Polhemus died at his home in Miraflores on Monday morning after a brief illness of pneumonia superinduced by an attack of la gripe. He was a native of Valpariso, Chile and was aged 56 years. Mr. Polhemus had been a resident of this vicinity for upwards of 30 years. He was a son-in-law of John Esq of Mirafa. JEWS MAKE CLAIMS ON GERMANY TEL AVIV. Israel. (P)—Fifteen thousand Jews who were imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps have filed claims for compensation against the government in West Germany. Claims amount to about $30 for each month of imprisonment. It is believed there are another 10,000 Israeli citizens entitled to claim compensation against the government in West Germany.

He even expresses vigorous opinions about things as "the dark comb of votes" that forced through internationalization of Jerry Lie said at the time that never seen such a combination of Catholics, communists Arabs—which rammed the decision that he regarded as workable. He said he decided after having talked with the military expert, Gen. William ley, who, though himself aolic, reported that it would impossible to make Jerusalem international without force. Now 53 years old, the tary-general of the United Nations was born in Oslo, to of a carpenter. His first job as an office boy in the headquarters of the Norwegian party. At 16 he became president of a local labor branch, 23 he was one of the leaders the party. At the outbreak war, Lie was Minister of (The brass ring, good for one free ride on the Washington Merry-Go-Round, today goes to Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the United Nations, now on an important mission to Moscow). WASHINGTON. — Shortly before Trygve Lie left New York in his current mission to Moscow, President Truman had announced that the world looked better—a statement which Truman reiterated last week. And Trygve Lie, talking privately to a friend immediately afterward, said: "I am glad they (the press) did not ask me to comment on President Truman's statement yesterday that the world situation is better than in 1946!" For the secretary-general of the United Nations thinks the world situation is in a very dangerous state—not because of an immediate threat of war but because the U.N. is threatened for its very life. This is the reason for his trip to Moscow. "I am going to tell them," he told a friend before he left, "what do you want to do about the United Nations; we must decide now, because in another six or eight months if the deadlock is not broken, this organization will collapse." Lie added that he thinks theoviets recognize that their walk-out has been a blunder, just as the Berlin blockade was a blunder. But Russia is a big power and it cannot extricate itself from this situation without some face-saving. Here he made a little circle with his thumb and forefinger, and peeped through it, and merce in the Norwegian government and by February, 1941, was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, then in exile in London. Lie's catapult into U.N. affairs came during the San Francisco conference which founded the United Nations, where he served as chairman of the commission which drafted the charter of the Security Council. At that time—and since—he has sometimes sided against the United States and Great Britain. In fact, during the early U.N. days, he was nominated by Ambassador Gromyko to be the first president of the General Assembly. Now his influence is emphatically against his onetime supporters. In New York Lie gets along well with Mayor O'Dwyer and Bob Moses, with whom he confers every two weeks or so regarding the great international city on the East river of Manhattan, which the Rockefellers are erecting a symbol of international peace. This, of course, has put him in touch with various New York civic leaders such as Tom Watson of International Business Machines, Winthrop-Aldrich of the Chase National bank, and John W. Davis, former democratic candidate for president, who have come to regard Lie almost as a fellow New Yorker. Last December, Lie told a friend that he thought the cold war could be ended by a high-level conference between Tru- Colony Quips In the early 1890's the then publisher of this newspaper. Henry Kuchel, brought in the finest machine this area had ever seen—west of the Santa Ana River—to print the Anaheim Gazette on. It was a drum cylinder press which was adorned in many places with bright brass parts, engraved to show pastoral scenes etc. It was built in Cincinnati, Ohio and it's trade name was the Cincinnati man, Stalin, Attlee and Bidault. "The State Department wouldn't like it," he said, "and they always keep a good watch on me." In this, Lie has one remotely common interest with Senator McCarthy. While he doesn't believe there are communists in the State Department, he wonders why, when President Truman has made such a clean sweep of his domestic cabinet family, he has never brought much change to the State Department. Lie apparently feels that it needs a change. At any rate, the conference that Lie proposed last December is now taking place in part—one segment meeting in London under the Big Three, the other between Lie and the Kremlin in Moscow. nati Dum.

It was a wonderful innovation over the old Washington—hand press that really took time to get the job done. The only trouble with the thing was that 'it had to turn to print. There was no power, no gas engines and no motors available in Anaheim at the time. But there was man power and the press was fitted up with a crank. Maybe "Chinaman power" would be nearer right as Dad made a deal with Ah Foo, who would work instead of trying to get on a 'Pentagon' detail, to turn the press for fifty cents a week. He did this tiresome task for many years until electricity was hooked up. One of the few times Ah Foo did not show up, two of the boys, Bill Wallop and Ed Zeus, got the paper out and we suppose Pop saved the four bits. Ah Foo was an early day Anaheim character who was well known to all for his many ideosyncracies. He would turn your press, clean your yard, wash your windows, dance you a jig, it matter not what, just as long as you paid off in dimes. He took no coins which did not have the face of a woman on the face. On Chinese New Year's he would insist on doing a dance for all his friends at the small cost of an 'oomma' which everyone knew meant a dime with a woman's face upon it. He would really dance and really sing—the dance being energetic and the song loud. But a big smile went with it—if the dime was forthcoming. And if it wasn't, you got a cussing out in the finest Chinese east of Anaheim Landing. One time we came home from a circus (this was many, many years ago—needless to say) with a beautiful, gas filled, red balloon, tied to and tugging from the end of a string. Ah Foo was doing the yard and when we showed up he smilingly admired the balloon. He was as affable as could be. A few minutes later the balloon got away and sailed into the wild blue yonder. Tears came to our beautiful blue eyes but lightening darted from Ah Foo's. "Goose-baby. Goose-baby," he exclaimed over and over again. Boy was he mad. He had intended to borrow that balloon after we were put to bed. Ah Foo carried his money in a tin box tied to his bicycle and would bury it close to his home or other places where nobady could find it. John Hartung, one of the town bankers, finally talked Ah Foo into depositing his wealth in the bank. The next day some $40 worth of the dirtiest dimes the bank had ever seen were placed on deposit by Ah Foo. He was given a bank book with everything correctly noted and he left. The next morning a few minutes after the bank opened Ah Foo came in and demanded to see if his money was safe. He was assured that everything was in good shape and that his money was intact. However, he would not leave until he saw and counted the same number dimes or oomas' as he called them, as he had deposited the day before. After he was satisfied, he smiled and left the bank. When he appeared the next morning for the same purpose, his money was refunded and the bank book picked up. John Hartung evidently had decided that the old tin box was safe enough for Ah Foo's wealth. There are many people who remember this poor Oriental who was slightly tetched but who always gave a good account of himself. He was a hard worker, giving all people he worked for full value and a lot of good entertainment on the side for free. Turning that old press about four straight hours to get out the Gazette was no fun. If you don't believe the job was tough, ask Bill Wallop for first-hand information. We first saw the press much later when a large electric motor did the turning. Ah Foo was convinced that there were a million little devils in that thing doing the work. He was more than convinced when he touched the bare wires and was knocked down.
