Maybe it is because we are a new paper and the word has gotten around that we have been hiring a few folks—or maybe it is a general trend. Whatever it is, we have been privileged to have quite a group of young folks call on us inquiring about jobs. Of Anaheim youth we can say they do not lack brains, good looks, personality, or a willingness to work. And, they seem well schooled. But, what about the job prospects for Anaheim high grads, or this year's crop of college seniors? Of course, the prospects are not as bright as during the past 10 years.

Of Anaheim youth we can say they do not lack brains, good looks, personality, or a willingness to work. And, they seem well schooled. But, what about the job prospects for Anaheim high grads, or this year's crop of college seniors? Of course, the prospects are not as bright as during the past 10 years. There simply isn't the volume of openings which awaited graduates in other years, particularly in the administrative or white collar jobs. Yet, there are job opportunities—plenty of them. The controlling factor is, however, THE COMPETITION FOR THESE JOBS IS LITTLE SHORT OF FIERCE. Recently a young man just about to graduate from high school came in to see us about a job. Although intelligent, he disclosed an understandable lack of information on things in the world outside his classrooms. His studies had brought him face to face with problems confined to text books where a certain amount of diligence would always yield the answer. He doesn't quite grasp it, but he now stands on the threshold of an entirely new situation. Business enterprise is well organized and extends into highly specialized fields. It is difficult for a student to understand where his future job opportunities might lie. And taxes and government controls affect his road to his job. (Note cartoon on this page). These factors he must learn to recognize and analyze before he can decide on his life work ahead. So it boils down to this crude fact: he must know his way around. Alas, EXPERIENCE gained day by day is the best way to learn it all. But, let's face it, he hasn't had an opportunity to follow that path. Somewhat in despair and bewilderment our high school senior asked what an ambitious kid can do to overcome the initial obstacles to beginning an employment record. Fortunately, that can be answered. The field of employment in the Anaheim area is large. It can cover Orange county and Los Angeles and its suburbs... a better field than faces most students. In looking for a job a good rule is to consult the classified telephone directory. List all the firms which would seem to offer you something somewhere within your schooling and training. You'll find some firms want a letter of application. Okay, go along with it, if for the EXPERIENCE only. Take the utmost pains in writing your letter. Carefully, not in a derogatory manner, admit your inexperience. But, show where you would be an asset to a firm because of the things you have done in and out of school. And stress your willingness and adaptability to fit into jobs allied to the type you primarily seek. A well-written letter is an art in itself—particularly your employment application. Remember that. Do it in a business-like way, present your facts clearly, follow the simple rules of grammar. What does that mean? Age, education, capability, experience, schooling, and the kind of work desired must be fully covered. If you possess any special ability or if you have directed your studies along some particular line, refer to it since it will strengthen the appeal. Use sufficient space. Give yourself the benefit of a little reasonable publicity. When you have practiced selling yourself through the medium of that letter you have picked up some valuable EXPERIENCE on which to build your campaign. But don't stop there. Next, a reliable employment agency is a practical clearing house for placements where personal contacts with job seekers and a thorough discussion of one's attributes, adaptations, and ambitions will fit him into a job classification—and perhaps registration which could result in a call for employment. Above all, remember that interview. You have picked up some information about business and employment. That is good EXPERIENCE. The classified columns of many newspapers offer opportunities. Help wanted advertisements are usually inserted by people too busy to go out and search for help. So carefully write that letter of inquiry based on your previous experience at letter writing. When granted an interview with a prospective employer, the applicant must appear at his best and be courteous, confident and collected. All questions should be answered in a straightforward manner with the impression that an opportunity rather than a position is sought. When finished, the employer should be thanked for the interview. He works on newspaper not hooked up in any group of growers or pages is his answer to Mr. W crack: "I would like to serious exception to wend reported in the newsletter of April 19. ers of this state (Florida). Mr. Wohlwend to the notwithstanding, express cern over the future of th trates deal. And Mr. probably does not know canning plant in the sta ing independents co-op like are contract hand Muutal." That puts an entirely light on the deal doesn' know, of course, the M sort of super co-op whi price structure and all cluding the regulation o IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 25 Years Ago Hundreds of workmen have been busy in the great tents out at the orange show grounds the past couple of weeks and everything is now in readiness for the opening of the show tomorrow evening. While the show will present a beautiful spectacle both day and night, perhaps the best time to see it is after nightfall when the great canvasses will be brilliantly illuminated, appropriate vaudeville and musical entertainment will feature each day of the show. There has never been so elaborate a display of citrus, automotive and industrial divisions. The best music in the southland—on the opening night. Mayor Mathis, Harry Riley and Tom Talbert will speak. 50 Years Ago On Tuesday evening meeting of the city trustees W. O. L. F. Schwenckert was chosen to preside in the absence of Trustee Helmsen, who was detained at home by the serious illness of his mother. Three were present at the meeting, Trustees Schwenckert, Dickel, Schneider and Weisel. 75 Years Ago A notebook containing a note and a tax receipt was picked up on Center street Friday. The owner can have it by applying at Reiser's brewery and paying for this advertisement. The Anaheim Water Company will prosecute anyone interfering with their ditches or tampering with the water therein. 'Everything Looks Fine To Me!' By Thomas Indochina. This may be of the well-heeled lobby which has spent in Washington influencing gress.

The French are French administration China in the past has client, corrupt, impernatives don't like down French troops they stray a mile or of towns. 3. Indochina is split factions. There is Emperor Bao Dai, or playboy, whom the set up as ruler. The bitter hatred for guerre Ho Chi Minh and his earth policy. Possibly the Un could handle the situation without the French would alienate one or allies. Thus Acheson Senate to buck on or French on the other a munists all around him. John L. Lewis John L.

However, Lewis' men are doing thir Edward Dumgault, opponent. Colony Quips Better get back to the orange deal. Under date of April 19, 1950, the California Fruit Growers Exchange sent out what they call a "News Letter" to all their growers. On Page Two of that letter Mr. L. H. Wohlwend, general sales manager, reporting on a 17-day trip which he took to Florida, "stated that Florida growers are expressing concern over the future of their concentrating deal despite success this year and last." Now this sounded to us just like the old malarkey that we have been fed all along the minute anything not shipped fresh starts to how a profit to the grower. It really smelled bad. So we did something about it. We sent it to a newspaperman in Florida who makes a specialty of writing about the citrus industry—every day. He works on newspapers and is not hooked up in any way with a group of growers or packers. Here is his answer to Mr. Wohlwend's crack: "I would like to take very serious exception to what Wohlwend reported in the Exchange newsletter of April 19. The growers of this state (Florida) are not, Mr. Wohlwend to the contrary notwithstanding, expressing concern over the future of the concentrates deal. And Mr. Wohlwend probably does not know that every canning plant in the state, including independents co-ops and the like are contract handlers under Muutal." That puts an entirely different light on the deal doesn't it? You know, of course, the Mutual is a sort of super co-op which dictates price structure and all that, including the regulation of supply to high as $84 a ton for their fruit, not $75 as the "news letter" says. Now on this new Minute Maid contract we are unable to figure out where the California grower is better off than the Florida grower. That escape clause means nothing to the grower and to say it is makes the whole thing a laugh. In Florida, right now, there is a floor under the price of by-products fruit and it is $2.50 a box. It takes 24 of their boxes to make a ton and if you multiply 24 by $2.50 that looks like $60 bucks a ton from here. So, the story does not add up—for the grower. He is the only guy we are interested in. Last year Minute Maid bought frozen concentrate right here in Anaheim and they paid for it in the way oranges should be sold. For every case packed they paid $2.50 and furnished the cans and cases. Then on top of this handling they paid 60 cents a pound for the soluble solids. This is the only way the grower and the seller can really be sure that both are not being caught short. Remember this new contract has no such provisions—at least we whose fruit they are going to process have not been told of anything except an "escape" clause which looks to us like a laugh up the sleeve. Why be so mysterious about the whole thing? We know the concentrate is selling for more money right now than last year. We also know that only a small percentage of Americans have heard about this concentrate. We know a lot of other things too that make the "stuff" in those news letters smell bad. We also know that Jack Fox, president of Minute Maid, told a reputable newspaperman the reason they were going out on that California deal was because they could get cheaper fruit. If anyone does not believe that, we can prove it. Why was the deal announced in Florida? It was not mentioned publicly out here until it was questioned in this newspaper. We only hope the deal is better than it. WASHINGTON—Some time before leaving on his whistle-stop trip, President Truman held a hush-hush dinner with one of his most vigorous political enemies, Senator Brewster of Maine. The dinner was held not in the White House, but at the Carlton Hotel. And it was the President who inspired the meeting. He and Brewster had worked together on the old Truman committee, once had been warm friends. Chief result of the Carlton dinner was a challenge to test out the Fair Deal. Brewster is chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign committee, and has the job of electing as many GOP senators as possible next November. Knowing this, Truman challenged: "I'll lay my program out and you lay your program out and we'll have a showdown." Brewster agreed. Though they didn't actually plan it that way, part of the showdown is coming right now. Truman is putting his policies before the public, while Brewster has been busy lining up speakers to refute him. He has already lined up Taft for a speech in Chicago, Wherry in Nebraska, Hickenlooper in Iowa, Morse in Oregon, and Congressman Keefe in Wisconsin. Brewster says the battle, hatched over the dinner table at the Carlton Hotel, will continue until November. Acheson's Big Problem Before Secretary of State Acheson left for the Big Three conference, he had a report from the Orient indicating that French Indo-China was the most vital area in preventing the spread of communism. The report came from Ed Dickinson, ace trouble - shooter for ECA administrator Paul Hoffman. State Department officials concur with Dickinson's views. They believe that if communism once takes over Indo-China, then Burma the Malaysian Siam... notwithstanding, expressing concern over the future of the concentrates deal. And Mr. Wohlwend probably does not know that every canning plant in the state, including independents co-ops and the like are contract handlers under Muufal.’ That puts an entirely different light on the deal doesn’t it? You know, of course, the Mutual is a sort of super co-op which dictates price structure and all that, including the regulation of supply to demand. Mutual had the power a week or so ago to put a floor under Florida citrus prices and this move stabilized the market, ours included. The Exchange “news letter” then goes on to say that the Florida canners are not interested in the grower and that some of them are financed from Wall st. We don’t want to seem anti-Exchange but who is Minute Maid but a large company with stock selling on Wall st. And what is wrong with their money? That is providing you get enough of it to pay your expenses. At least Minute Maid has paid Florida growers as make the “stuff” in those news letters smell bad. We also know that Jack Fox, president of Minute Maid, told a reputable newspaperman the reason they were going out on that California deal was because they could get cheaper fruit. If anyone does not believe that, we can prove it. Why was the deal announced in Florida? It was not mentioned publicly out here until it was questioned in this newspaper. We only hope the deal is better than it sounds—for the California grower. He is the person who pays the bills and takes what is left—and has no escape clause. PANTSLESS COP DOES HIS DUTY SOUTH PASADENA, Calif. (AP) —Officer Lloyd Taylor’s arrest report described how he pinched a man he saw throw a bottle through a window. “Then,” the report continued, “I went home and put on my pants.” Taylor had spotted the offender while he was off duty and clad in beach shorts. Before Secretary of State Acheson left for the Big Three conference, he had a report from the Orient indicating that French Indo-China was the most vital area in preventing the spread of communism. The report came from Ed Dickinson, ace trouble - shooter for ECA administrator Paul Hoffman. State Department officials concur with Dickinson's views. They believe that if communism once takes over Indo-China, then Burma, the Malays, Siam, India and Indonesia will also fall, making all of the Orient a Russian sphere of influence. Furthermore, it is believed that this is Moscow's chief goal. For the Red Army today lacks oil, gasoline, tin and rubber. All these things are to be obtained in the wealthy area lying south of French Indo-China. However, saving Inco-China will be one of the toughest jobs the West ever tackled. It is also Acheson's thorniest diplomatic problem at London. Here are some of the factors making it tough: 1. The U.S. Senate is hot and bothered about China, but not Elemental “It doesn’t take my magnifying glass to see why these beautiful rugs are so long-wearing. The famous Bigelow quality and decorator-styling are evidence enough.” Smith-Reafsnyder Furniture Co. Indochina. This may be because of the well-heeled Kuomintang lobby which has spent thousands in Washington influencing Congress. Whatever the cause, when Acheson publicly proposed aid to Indo-China, he was rebuked next day by Senator George of Georgia who wanted to know who was going to vote the money. 2. The French are a handicap. French administration of Indochina in the past has been inefficient, corrupt, imperialistic. The natives don't like them, shoot down French troops at night if they stray a mile or so outside of towns. 3. Indochina is split among various factions. There is no love for Emperor Bao Dai, onetime Paris playboy, whom the French have set up as ruler. There is also bitter hatred for guerrilla leader Ho Chi Minh and his scorched-earth policy. Possibly the United States could handle the situation better without the French. But that would alienate one of our oldest allies. Thus Acheson has the Senate to buck on one hand, the French on the other and the communists all around him. John L. Lewis Purge John L. Lewis, Republican, has been busy backstage trying to purge a Democrat, Rep. Anthohy Cavalcante of Pennsylvania. Lewis is sore because Cavalcante demanded that District Four of the United Mine Workers have local autonomy and the right to elect their own officers. Cavalcante used to be a member of this local, has an excellent record in Congress, and will be supported by many rank-and-file miners. However, Lewis' strong-arm men are doing thir best to elect Edward Dumgault, Cavalcante's opponent. The Mailbag To the Editor: I like the new daily Gazette.
