KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher ROBERT FUNGETH Managing Editor WILLARD GREGORY City Editor NEIL STANLEY Display Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager The Anaheim Girl Scouts and their friends Last Monday night officers and chairmen of committees were installed by the newly created Girl Scout Association Council of Anaheim. The many folks who have gotten behind the Girl Scout movement in this area are doing a job for which the entire community can be grateful. These individuals have contributed time, effort, and money in this most useful community program; and, they have seen the Girl Scout organization in Anaheim grow from 105 girls in 1924 to more than 800 at the present time. Childhood is the time when the most important decisions of our lives are made. There are people and events and conditions to guide us. From them we develop values and decide what things in the world really matter. These decisions give our lives a basic direction which through size the need for wholesome, leisure-time activities for girls. These worthwhile organizations and activities are brought in focus by two booklets, "The Girl Scouts in 1950," and a "Handbook for Guardians of Camp Fire Girls." Each in its way is trying to build a better world. Each seeks to perpetuate the spiritual ideals of the home and to aid in the formation of habits for health and character. And each is trying to project these attributes on the larger plane of community and nation. From Blue Bird and Brownie Scouts, through Camp Fire Girls and Girl Scouts, through Horizon Club members and Senior Girl Scouts both booklets trace the development of young girls to womanhood—adults who can respect the rights of others and work willingly with them; who are resourceful and self-reliant; who have imbued the need for wholesome, leisure-time activities for girls. Obviously, all this can blamed on the boom in trade, but much of it can be traced taking a third of the orange crop and some of its fruit and tangerines, has no fruit from previous fresh or nursery channels and made the prohibitive to producers less novel and romantic. Some believe that concentration is pricing itself out of a not yet fully tested. Naturally, high fruit prices helping growers, and their remains in Florida. It does have the spread, however, which was circulated to packing house payrolls. And what hurts some others. The loss of the crater facturers is the can manufacture. Plants of America Continental Can Company Tampa are being expanded toduce the heavy new demand six-ounce concentrate tins. The boom is also helping nurseries which report a shortage of seedlings for season and late variety ores as many rush to bulldozing acreage and put in orange fruit. This is an interesting development in itself, indicating a swing away from Hamlin early season varieties. Early and greater production ferred this season by the citrus code which kept them...

From Blue Bird and Brownie Scouts, through Camp Fire Girls and Girl Scouts, through Horizon Club members and Senior Girl Scouts both booklets trace the development of young girls to womanhood—adults who can respect the rights of others and work willingly with them; who are resourceful and self-reliant; who have imagination and courage; who try to live according to their belief in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Obviously, the Girl Scouting executives and friends of the Girl Scouts in this area have recognized the high purpose and real value of the organization. They have built a live wire organization and one which is surely most attractive to Anaheim girls and their parents and friends. 50 Years Ago Mrs. Luedke has been seriously ill of erysipelas at her home for a fortnight. She was in a critical condition yesterday. Miss Regina Harris of Santa Ana visited with friends in town last week and was the guest of Mrs. Konig. Miss Harris is the fiancee of our esteemed fellow townsman, William Falkenstein. 25 Years Ago F. N. Gibbs left yesterday for St. Paul, Minn., where he goes as a delegate to the National Kiwanis meeting as a delegate from the local club. He will be absent three weeks. Paul Tedrick, who lives on the old Tucker place, east of town, has just disposed of a 10-acre crop of Valencias on the trees for $6.95 per hundred pounds. This is a fancy price and indicates that the fruit is in good condition. Rev. Father Dubble was in town yesterday from Burbank, visiting with his mother and sister. The boom is also helping nurseries which report a shortage of seedlings for season and late variety ores as many rush to bulldozage and put in orange fruit. This is an interesting development itself, indicating a swing away from Hamlin early season varieties. Early and greater productivity ferred this season by the citrus code which kept their off the market before Dec. This condition is blamed for the overall drop in citrus employment, along with last hurricane which destroyed fruit, but employment never picked up after its Fall loss. There is no doubt that climate has radically changed da's citrus picture, but we for good or bad has not been termined. It all depends on whether you're concentrate or fruit "minded." On the pro concentration are those who talk about wonderful new product, an avenue of distribution in order to fresh fruit and canned strength juice, about its suitability in getting the ultimate commercial juice, to the consumer; about creation of new markets yet have not been measured its supposed stabilizing effect the entire industry. They out that it has no effect on employment in production stage until the time fruit reaches concentrate plant. On the con argument are who laugh-at the stabil theory. They point to peak and declare they may become valleys if current prices are sustained by abnormal conditions. They say the industry would be among those to feel the slightest dropping national prosperity, and the it is at that moment, the haw would fall. Many small growers would rather be getting prices now with some assurance continued reasonable return high prices with an uncertain future. They would rather be left to fight among themselves to be in the economic ring outside speculators. S. W. Iler of San Juan comes to the front this week with an advertisement of his popular hotel at San Juan. He furnished superior accommodations to visitors to the San Juan Hot Springs. Santa Ana is the only town we ever heard of that mourns because of a lack of Chinamen. The only Chinaman there is in the laundry business and his charges are so preposterous that the citizens are trying to induce some other celestial to start an opposition wash house. We are pleased to learn that Drs. Cummins and Burtnett who recently established a drugstore in Santa Ana, are meeting with great success in their business. They have just received a large stock of fresh drugs and chemicals. Sample bricks from Fischer's kiln may be seen at Heiman and George's store. A large quantity are now ready for use. DORIS GATES, L.A. author—"Youngsters should be allowed a glimpse into the trials and dissappointments that are an unavoidable part of any normal life." CONGRESSMAN JACK Z. ANDERSON, San Juan Bautista — "There is absolutely no need for cutting postal service to save jobs for unnecessary top brass." LINDA DARNELL, Hollywood — "To this business of just looking pretty—I say pah!" A. W. BRAMWELL, Chico publisher, on Congressional debate on proposed 7½c piece—"It's surprising to observe that Washington knows money comes in anything less than million dollar lots." JOHN GUNTHER, Current events expert, in S.F.—"I don't think there'll be a war—we're not the kind of people to knock off somebody just for fun, and the Russians surely must have some sense of self-preservation." LOS ANGELES (AP)—When USC hands out diplomas this Saturday, a husband and his wife will be among the recipients. Mrs. Bonnie Schwarz, 26, who gave birth to a child last January, will receive a masters degree. Husband Jack, 25, will be given his elementary teacher's credentials. They both are World War II veterans. Colony Quips Quips Continued from Yesterday) Not All To Blame Obviously, all this cannot be claimed on the boom in concentrate, but much of it can. Concentrate taking a third of the state's orange crop and some of its grapefruit and tangerines, has diverted fruit from previous fresh and canery channels and made the price prohibitive to producers of the less novel and romantic forms. Some believe that concentrate also is pricing itself out of a market yet fully tested. Naturally, high fruit prices are helping growers, and their money remains in Florida. It does not have the spread, however, of that which was circulated through tracking house payrolls. And what hurts some, helps others. The loss of the crate manufacturers is the can manufacturersain. Plants of American and continental Can Companies inampa are being expanded to produce the heavy new demand for x-ounce concentrate tins. The boom is also helping citrus nurseries which report a large shortage of seedlings for mid-season and late variety oranges, a many rush to buildoze new storage and put in orange groves. This is an interesting development itself, indicating a definite going away from Hamlin and early season varieties. Their early and greater production suffered this season by the state's citrus code which kept their fruit could be put in the position of being to blame for the poor quality of the Armed Forces program. Naturally Dillon, who knew his words were being recorded, could take pains to see that what he said was right. That's how, some of the taxpayers money is being spent. Congressional 'Economy' While Congress preaches economy and prepares to slash another billion dollars from the civilian functions of the government, some Congressmen have indulged in a certain brand of economy that benefits themselves, but not Uncle Sam. They are evading the 15 per cent transportation tax which every other citizen of the U. S. has to pay. The way they do this is by claiming their trips are on government business, when actually they are private. Worst offenders are Senator William Langer, North Dakota, Republican; Congressman Homer Angell, Oregon Republican, and Congressman Abraham Multer, New York Democrat. Legally, they cannot escape the travel tax unless the government actually pays their fare. And if they are traveling on Congressional committee business, that committee must initiate the exemption request. However, Langer, Angell and Multer have been signing their own exemption certificates, using a form that the Bureau of Internal Revenue has ruled not legal for members of Congress. Ticket offices have been advised not to accept this form from U. S. Senators and Congressmen, but Langer, Angell and Multer have disregarded the warnings of ticket girls. In fact, Congressman Angell even started to write out an exemption certificate for his wife when he bought airplane tickets to Oregon for Easter vacation. The ticket girl protested that neither the patients including occupational therapy programs and post lobotomy care. Part of her success has been due to a genuine interest in her work and a willingness to recognize the individuality of the patients and meet their problems on an individual basis. Dr. Theo K. Miller, superintendent of the NAPA state hospital, gave particular tribute to Mrs. Carson, pointing the way to greater success throughout the state's mental hospital system. "She (Mrs. Carson) is constantly at work obtaining the little things that means so much in every day living," said Dr. Miller. "As a result, her ward has the homey, livable atmosphere." 'No Smoking' Signs Posted in Santa Ana Mtns. "No Smoking" signs have been posted by State Forest Ranger Joe Schermann's crew throughout the Santa Ana mountain range trails and approaches in anticipation of the annual season of fire hazard. The hazard is considerable this year with "lots of dry grass in the hills", said Schermann. Thousands of acres of mountain areas will be closed to the public later in the year. One favorable point with respect to fire, said Schermann, is the fact that the water shed has not yet grown a full new crop of brush in the 45,000 acres that burned over in the great fire of 1948. The marks of the fire will remain for another decade, Schermann estimated. Stringent regulations designed to reduce fire danger in the backlands are in effect in the Angeles The boom is also helping citrus nurseries which report a large shortage of seedlings for mid-season and late variety oranges, many rush to build doze new storage and put in orange groves. This is an interesting development itself, indicating a definite going away from Hamlin and early season varieties. Their early and greater production suffered this season by the state's citrus code which kept their fruit at the market before December. This condition is blamed partly for the overall drop in citrus employment, along with last Fall's hurricane which destroyed some suit, but employment never fully kicked up after its Fall losses. There is no doubt that concentrate has radically changed Florida's citrus picture, but whether or good or bad has not been determined. It all depends on wheth you're concentrate or fresh suit "minded." On the pro concentrate side are those who talk about the wonderful new product, a third venue of distribution in addition to fresh fruit and canned single strength juice, about its savings in getting the ultimate commodity, price, to the consumer; about the creation of new markets which it have not been measured, and supposed stabilizing effect on the entire industry. They point at that it has no effect on employment in production stages or until the time fruit reaches the concentrate plant. On the con argument are those who laugh at the stabilization theory. They point to peaks now and declare they may become deep valleys if current prices are not stained by abnormal national conditions. They say the citrus industry would be among the first feel the slightest dropping off of national prosperity, and the higher is at that moment, the harder it would fall. Many small growers actually would rather be getting lower prices now with some assurance of continued reasonable returns than high prices with an uncertain future. They would rather be left alone fight among themselves than be in the economic ring with outside speculators. In fact, Congressman Angell even started to write out an exemption certificate for his wife when he bought airplane tickets to Oregon for Easter vacation. The ticket girl protested that neither he nor his wife were entitled to the tax deduction, but Angell brushed aside the girl's objections. "How much would I save on my wife's ticket?" he demanded. The girl figured about $22. "Well, never mind," Angell decided and finally paid his wife's tax. Afterward, when this column asked Congressman Angell why he did not pay the transportation tax on his own ticket, he protested that he was violating no law, though he also admitted that the girl at the transportation desk had warned him. When reminded that on the tax-exemption certificate there was printed in bold-face type: "Penalty for fraudulent use $10,000 or imprisonment or both," he protested that he would refund the money if he was wrong. Later he did. Other Senators and Congressmen have been buying tickets in their home states and also using the illegal form to evade the transportation tax. They have found that the ticket offices outside of Washington are less familiar with the law. The violations have been reported to the Bureau of Internal Revenue, but no action has been taken. The Bureau will prosecute private citizens for tax violation, but just doesn't like to tangle with members of Congress. For instance, ex-Congressman Parnell Thomas, now in jail, was just as guilty of income-tax evasion as of kickbacks. But the U.S. Treasury has failed to prosecute. Nor has it prosecuted General Vaughan's friend John Maragon, who perpetrated a glaring and clear-cut income-tax fraud. One favorable point with respect to fire, said Schermann, is the fact the water shed has not yet grown a full new crop of brush in the 45,000 acres that burned over in the great fire of 1948. The marks of the fire will remain for another decade, Schermann estimated. Stringent regulations designed to reduce fire danger in the backlands are in effect in the Angeles National Forest. It is now unlawful to build campfires, even in designated areas, without a permit; to smoke during periods of extreme fire danger; to throw smokey materials or match fires may be started, and firearms or fireworks in t HEL MAI GIVE DISC Salvation Salvage Week WASHINGTON—Frank McCall of the National Broadcasting Company doesn't know it, but when he went to Washington the other day to talk about the Armed Forces revision show, his entire conversation was secretly recorded. NBC has been putting on a revision show for the Army, Navy and Air Forces as a public service. No charge is made. However, the quality of the show has been up to par, and NBC has been worried. That was why McCall went to Washington. Meanwhile, the National Defense department got from Congress a nice fistfull of the taxpayers' money to build a specialudio studio in the Pentagon building with new wire recording apparatus, etc. This apparatus is supposed to be used to promote Armed Forces pride, not to spy on private citizens who are trying to help their country—with no charge to taxpayers. But before NBC executive McCall arrived Charles Dillon, in charge of the Armed Forces television show, arranged to have McCall's conversation recorded. Thus Call, who didn't know his words are being taken down on tape, Nor has it prosecuted General Vaughan's friend John Maragon, who perpetrated a glaring and clear-cut income-tax fraud. SACRAMENTO (WNS) — The continued shortage of physicians and psychiatrists in the state mental hospitals has added to the importance of the work of hospital attendants at these institutions. For this reason the recent national recognition of a NAPA state hospital attendant is held of considerable moment by those concerned with the standard of care given to patients in the state hospitals. The attendant so signally honored is Mrs. Gertrude Carson, who has been a psychiatric aide for 28 years. She was designated as one of six finalists for the "psychiatric aide of the year award." The presentation is made jointly by the National Mental Health Foundation and the Catherwood-Kirkbride fund for research in psychiatry of Philadelphia. The award is in recognition of outstanding contributions toward patient welfare. Mrs. Carson was selected from a field of 20,000 mental hospital attendants. Her accomplishments which won her recognition have included a high rate of success in aiding patients in recovery and an especial ability in training new attendants in their work. As a ward supervisor she has developed projects of benefit to BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! GO WEST, YOUNG MAN EAST GERMANY Hey, driver, keep your eye on the road! Television sets have been installed in buses on a Los Angeles-San Francisco line and the SANTA BARBARA (P)—A billion volt X-ray machine goes into operation today at the Cottage hospital. The machine is the sev- ing materials or matches where fires may be started, and to use firearms or fireworks in the forest. D. J. Callaghan, State Director of Veterans Affairs, was named by Governor Warren to the State Advisory Council established by the Unemployment Insurance Act. Hey, driver, keep your eye on the road! Television sets have been installed in buses on a Los Angeles-San Francisco line and the customers like it, says the company. The sets are mounted at the front of the buses. Everyone can see the screen but the driver. SANTA BARBARA (P)—A billion volt X-ray machine goes into operation today at the Cottage hospital. The machine is the seventh of the same size to be built in this country for medical use and is believed to be the only one of its type in Southern California. Your castoffs last year provided thousands of hours of employment, meals, and beds, a home and financial aid for needy and handicapped persons. Used shoes, clothing, furniture, electrical appliances and miscellaneous items are needed. Telephone Anaheim 4631 and a Red Shield truck will call for your discards.
