We have had some of the needlework and sewing experts around Anaheim look them over and they agree they are pretty good—and will save you considerable money on your clothing expenditures. With needlework you have something material to show for your effort—something to brighten up your house or to make you more attractive personally. If the cat has used your favorite chair for a tree to scratch on, and has left it in ribbons, you yourself can make slip covers out of a variety of materials. There is a trick in making slip covers, and when you know how, it is easy to overcome the lack of professional labor. To do this yourself not only saves money, but gives you the satisfaction of showing your friends and the members of your family what a professional job you can turn out. If you like embroidering, and most people do these days, there are scores of things you can make to dress up your tables, IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Anaheim is just entering an era of unprecedented building activity. The buildings now in course of construction and those which will be commenced within the next two months represent an outlay of about $60,000. The outlook for the future enlargement and rapid growth of the town is most cheering.

Dr. Higgins, who has held the office for the last three years in a most satisfactory manner, is the retiring trustee. An election for trustee in Orangethorpe school district will also be held today. The recent change in the running time of the trains between Anaheim and Los Angeles is a great convenience to the citizens of the latter place. They can now leave Los Angeles in the morning, do their shopping, etc., in Anaheim and return home the same.

There are hats and sweaters such as you have always wanted, yours for a price counted almost entirely in time—time that you will spend in pleasant creative effort. There are things for baby and his crib, things to make for tiny tots, that add even more to the joy of having them around. And there are instruction patterns to teach you the varied arts of crochet, knitting and cutwork, or to help you teach these things to others. Yes, truly, needlework and sewing are more than an ideal way of escape—they are a source of lasting satisfaction in self-amusement, self employment and self expression. So watch for the patterns in your Gazette. Try a few of them. And let us know how you like them and what success you had with them. WASHINGTON — Congratulations John S. Wood of Canton, Ct., is a scholarly, dignified man who looks the way he expects a Congressman to look. However, irrefutable evidence at hand that Mr. Wood has acting the way a Congressman should not act—in brief, money from the folks in the district for getting a bill through Congress. Here are the regrettable in the case. On January 23, 1944, Stanfield of Tate, Ga., a member of the Congressman's office expected to be performing this service. It is, of course, the very regular salary by the U.S. currency for this, and it is again law for him to accept fees. In fact, such fees may go into his pocket, are a fentiliary offense. However, the Congressman then secretary, Charles H. according to a statement by Stanfield, father of the boy, suggested that part of his salary should be paid to Congressman Wood. But he hadn't passed at that time; point was not pressed. Unique Law Partner Following passage of this however, Carl Tallant, the gressman's law partner, said that it was "customary."

Fay on Monday afternoon and discussed a number of pertinent questions among them the wide-tire law, forest preservation and water conservation and decreases in the salaries of county officials. They discussed at length the matter of free rural mail delivery. The members being heartily in favor of the formation of a district embracing Anaheim and the country west and south. The chair appointed a committee consisting of Messrs. Henry Kuchel, H. A. Dickel and J. B. Roe to enter into correspondence with Congressman Needham relative to the preliminary steps necessary to be taken. Mrs. Fay and her daughter served refreshments which were dispatched with neatness characteristic of the club in such matters, and after a vote of thanks to the host and hostess for their hospitality, the club adjourned to meet with Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Rogers the afternoon of the last Monday in July. W. J. Smith, an old and highly respected citizen of this section, died at his home on Orangethorpe avenue on Monday. He was in his seventieth year. Mr. Smith came to this section in 1879 and was, up to a few years ago, actively engaged in the care of his large ranch. The pall bearers were: M. V. B. Lovering, H. Cahen, B. H. Baneroft, E. B. Foster, William Schulte, and B. F. Porter. Interment was in Anaheim Cemetery. 25 Years Ago Riding in an airship from Paris, the gay capital of the French to London, capital of the British empire, was one of the stunts performed by Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Grim, who recently returned-home safely from a four months' tour of Europe and the Holy Land. They boarded the ship and landed in London, 2 hours and 50 minutes after leaving Paris. The ship was one of a regular line flying between the two cities. They are enclosed, principally with glass and have a capacity of ten passengers. Mr. and Mrs. Grim left New York on Feb. 3rd; on the steamship Rotterdam on a cruise through the Mediterranean. They visited Gibraltar, Nice, Naples, then by rail to Rome. They then turned eastward toward Jerusalem. On their return trip they visited Switzerland, France and England. Although they enjoyed every day of their journey, the happiest day of all was the day they reached Anaheim on their return and were greeted by friends they left behind them. However, the Congress then secretary, Charles H., according to a statement by Stanfield, father of the boy, suggested that part $10,000 should be paid to Congressman Wood. But he hadn't passed at that time, point was not pressed. Unique Law Partner Following passage of this however, Carl Tallant, the gressman's law partner, said that it was "customary" to per cent on compensation this kind. Tallant was not partner in the firm of W. Tallant, but was also on the gressional payroll and won Wood's office in Washington in itself, is an unusual amount, since Tallant now draws $7022 from the government to work for Wood, but handles law cases from the tage point of the Congress office. Thus, Tallant, both as lawyer and employee, was invited to speak for the Cman. And when he made check for $1000, Mack S father of the crippled boy it. I have in my possession a stat copy of that check September 13, 1947, on the Canton, Georgia. I also a photostat of a check day same day, made out to hospital for $3,300. In other when young Stanfield $10,000 compensation from government, he immediately the bills incurred by his and simultaneously was paid to pay an unjust fee to Cman Wood's law partner a gressman employee. It is significant that a check was passed, Congr Wood apparently got worn the elder Stanfield says Congressman asked to know matter quiet.

Wood of Canton, Georgia, is a scholarly, dignified gentleman who looks the way you expect a Congressman to look. However, irrefutable evidence is that Mr. Wood has been acting the way a Congressman should not act—in brief, taking money from the folks in his district for getting a bill passed through Congress. Here are the regrettable facts on the case. On January 23, 1944, Ralph Stanfield of Tate, Ga., a resident of the Congressman's district, was struck by a U.S. Army truck and seriously injured. As a result, he was entitled to damages from the truck-owner—namely, the U.S. government; and Congressman Wood introduced a bill authorizing $10,000 compensation. While the bill was pending, the standford family got its first information that Congressman Wood's office expected to be paid for performing this service. It is, of course, the job of every Congressman to introduce bills in which his constituents are interested. He is paid a regular salary by the U.S. Treasury for this, and it is against the law for him to accept outside fees. In fact, such fees, if they go into his pocket, are a peni-fientary offense. However, the Congressman's then secretary, Charles Holcomb, according to a statement by Mack Stanfield, father of the injured boy, suggested that part of the $10,000 should be paid back to Congressman Wood. But the bill hadn't passed at that time, and the point was not pressed. Unique Law Partner Following passage of the bill, however, Carl Tallant, the Congressman's law partner, suggested that it was "customary" to pay 10 cents. Congressman thought anything was wrong he could have returned the check. But he didn't. Russell Is Different Also significant is the fact that 10 days ago when the Congressman heard I was interested in this pay-off, he sent a friend of the Stanfields around and asked to borrow the canceled check, promising to return it. It has not been returned, however, and probably won't be. What the congressman did not know was that I had obtained notarized photostats of the telltale check before he borrowed it. In contrast to the $1000 paid Congressman Wood's office for helping a crippled boy, was the fact that Senator Russell got similar relief for another Georgian who was hurt by the same U.S. Army truck. But Senator Russell, like 99 per cent of the other members of Congress, performed his service—as he is supposed to do—merely as part of his routine job of being a Senator. He charged no fee. The second man hit by the truck was Herman Philyaw, also of Tate, Georgia, who was standing alongside young Stanfield when the Army truck came round a sharp turn, out of control, and crashed into them. Stanfield's leg was smashed and Philyaw broke his wrist. Senator Russell promptly got a bill passed paying damages to Philyaw, but charged him no fee. Oregon Smear Campaign Politicians who are victimized by smear campaigns can take a tip from Senator Wayne Morse, the plucky Oregon Republican. During his rough primary fight, Morse was accused of being "Soft on communism" and a pre-fellow traveler. The whispering campaign against him was malicious and deadly. But two days before the election, Morse turned the tide by taking newspaper ads in which he offered to answer any and all questions during an hour on the radio before an audience. A special battery of phone operators took down the questions from the unseen audience and the Senator answered one after the other in machine-gun fashion. Morse's opposition sent in "smear questions," which brought the issue out in the open, and gave him a chance to answer. He is certain that radio-quiz hour won his decisive renomination. SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Temperatures reported by the U.S. Weather Bureau for the 24 hours ended at 4:30 a.m., PST today.

DON'T SPEEER DON'T ETC. However, the Congressman's when secretary, Charles Holcomb, according to a statement by Mack Stanfield, father of the injured boy, suggested that part of the 10,000 should be paid back to Congressman Wood. But the bill hadn't passed at that time, and the point was not pressed. Unique Law Partner Following passage of the bill, however, Carl Tallant, the Congressman's law partner, suggested that it was "customary" to pay 10 percent on compensation bills of this kind. Tallant was not only a partner in the firm of Wood and Tallant, but was also on the Congressional payroll and worked in Wood's office in Washington. This, in itself, is an unusual arrangement, since Tallant not only draws $7022 from the government to work for Wood, but also handles law cases from the vantage point of the Congressman's office. Thus, Tallant, both as law partner and employee, was in a position to speak for the Congressman. And when he made out a check for $1000, Mack Stanfield, father of the crippled boy, signed it. I have in my possession a photostat copy of that check, dated September 13, 1947, on the Bank of Canton, Georgia. I also have a photostat of a check dated the same day, made out to Cokers hospital for $3,300. In other words, when young Stanfield got the 10,000 compensation from the government, he immediately paid the bills incurred by his illness, and simultaneously was persuaded to pay an unjust fee to Congressman Wood's law partner and Congressman employee. It is significant that after the check was passed, Congressman Wood apparently got worried. For the elder Stanfield says that the Congressman asked to keep the matter quiet. Of course, if the Thought for a Day By Chester Ferris OPENING OLD WOUNDS On the walls of a theatre building is displayed the motto: "Shows are better than ever before." We could hope so. I do like a good motion picture and every once in a while find such a one. So this time, I went with high expectation. Evidently the public was not stirred by this anticipation. I was the first one there. Others came in, but not many. The titles called for action, and the stars are popular. Both themes had to do with battles with man. They were war pictures, one depicting scenes along the Nurma road in a fight with airplanes. The other was the story of a submarine, interesting in its description of its manner of life without much bloodshed. For war pictures, relating story years old and out-dated, they were good. They lauded our country and our young men, and would assist in building war morale. For the year 1950 however, they were out of place, creating emotions that should now cease to be. It was the old story of national enmity, the United State against Japan. There was no effort or accuracy or good feeling. Perfection was the monopoly of our forces. The foe was dispersed. He boasted he cheated he was cruel out of that. North and South are fellow citizens. The men, in gray can join with the men in blue for a united pledge of allegiance to the flag. The old sores are mostly healed. Woe to anyone who reopens them! Hal Boyle NEW YORK (AP)—Wilbur Peeble came home the other night and said briskly: "Hello, hon. When'll dinner be ready? I'm hungry as a grizzly bear." His wife, Trellis Mae, looked at him sternly and replied: "Wilbur. You forgot something. You go right back out that door and come in again." So Peeble went outside—and then he remembered. Annoyedly, he came back in and gave his wife a kiss-peck on her ear; a custom he sometimes wished he hadn't started on their honeymoon 15 years before. "That's better," said Trellis Mae. "I still want to know how long it'll be before dinner." "Dinner will be ready as soon as I thaw it out—and heat it up again." "What do you mean—thaw it out?" grumbled her husband. "What are we having—icicles?" "Something good—frozen steak, frozen peas and carrots, iceberg lettuce salad, and frozen strawberries for dessert." "Frozen this, frozen that—what am I, a man or a refrigerator?" demanded Wilbur. "Now, don't be angry dear!" Wilbur stormed over to his favorite chair, and shook open his SACRAMENTO (WNS) — Post mortems on the primary election result in several findings which should provide Californians with much conversational material. Among other things reliability of various pre-election polls are open to serious question. For both the polls and the betting odds favored Attorney General Fred N. Howser to win the Republican nomination over Edward Shattuck of Los Angeles and predicted a close contest for the Democratic nomination between Howser and the winner, Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, San Francisco district attorney. As it developed Howser ran a poor third all the way around. Another event which should provoke wonderment is the showing made by an admitted communist candidate for the office of state superintendent of public instruction. This was the votes rolled up by one Bernadette Doyle of San Diego who is a declared communist party worker. Running as a non-partisan she piled up a vote approximating 20 per cent of the vote cast for the incumbent Roy E. Simpson. Then the old criticism of cross-filling can crop up again on the basis of the Eighth Senatorial district election. There, former Senator D. Jack Metzger, a Republican ran against Republican incumbent Senator Louis G. Sutton. Both candidates crossed filed as did a third Republican candidate, Grant Merrill. No It was the old story of national enmity, the United State against Japan. There was no effort or accuracy or good feeling. Perfection was the monopoly of our forces. The foe was dispersed. He boasted, he cheated, he was cruel. So it was calculated to stir hate. To me, it was a sad commentary on our inability to build peace. Now our great objective should be to create friendly feelings as of Japan to the United States, and as of our country to Japan. They are our wards for the present. MacArthur has proved to be a good leader. They have been disarmed, but that is the least important element in their peace-ableness. To have them respect us and like us is of supreme importance. That relation is reciprocal. We must also recognize their good points which are many, and communicate all possible help to them. The war was wretched, but the war is over. For morale, the military cultivates hate, distrust, bitterness. To live together, there must be trust and mutual liking. Some people cannot let sores heal. They must police at the scab. So blood flows again, maybe poisoning from infection, and the sore is worse. In good old Connecticut, there was in my town, a group of families that bore a common name. One or two of these families would have nothing to do with the others, would not "see" them as they passed by, made scurrilous remarks, were ever pervaded by anger and resentment. Why? Many years before, perhaps in a preceding generation, there had been a slight or a wrong. Retention was not made, nor forgiveness. The sore was not allowed to heal with the kindly processes of time. It was always kept open. It was dangerous, even deadly. It was hell. Let us have no open sores with Japan or Germany. Let us not keep the sores open by telling stories on the screen, or in print or by word of mouth. Living together is a fine art. Many husbands and wives have not learned it, alas! To achieve it with our boys and girls is our mission. Running as a non-partisan she piled up a vote approximating 20 per cent of the vote cast for the incumbent Roy E. Simpson. Then the old criticism of cross-filing can crop up again on the basis of the Eighth Senatorial district election. There, former Senator D. Jack Metzger, a Republican ran against Republican incumbent Senator Louis G. Sutton. Both candidates cross-filed as did a third Republican candidate, Grant Merrill. No Democrats filed and Metzger won the Democratic nomination but lost his own party; thereby disqualifying himself. Now the Democrats will be permitted to select a candidate to run against the Republican nominee, Sutton, in November. Nation’s Workers Warned to Avoid State if Jobless SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Workers of the nation have been warned, in effect, to stay out of California if they don’t know in advance what they are going to do. The warning was given by Don Roney, assistant director of the state employment department, addressing the Pacific Institute board of intergovernmental public relations. Roney reported that California workers collected more paychecks last month than at any other time in the state's history. But, he added, the unemployment percentage is still double the national average. The California labor force for May totaled 4,040,000 persons, he said. Unemployed totaled 325,000 or 8.07 per cent. The national unemployment average is 4.5 per cent. Increasing mechanization, Roney said, has hit the cotton worker the hardest and he is likely to have to seek other fields. Between decreased acreage and mechanization, employment in the cotton fields will be reduced this year from 112,000 last season to 62,000 this season, a decrease of 50,000 jobs. “Some frozen orange juice for your breakfast,” said Trellis Mae brightly. “Yes, dear,” sighed Wilbur. “But please . . . please . . . no powdered eggs.” Savannah, Georgia, was founded in 1733.
