KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher ROBERT FUNSETH Managing Editor WILLARD GREGORY City and Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager RALPH HUULAND Classified Advertising Manager Class of 1950, Anaheim High School Tonight the Class of 1950, Anaheim Union high school, will don the traditional academic-graduation gowns, be extolled by speakers who will try to point out their place in life, and then will be sent forth with diploma in hand to tackle the world—or await the beginning of their college days. The logical question is: What kind of a world is it into which we are sending these graduates? Actually, it is not a world of economic difficulty in winning a place for self, family, or home. Jobs are not too hard to find, and the chances of young folks to get married and settle down to married life, while they are still young, are as bright as they have ever been. The all important factor for the Class of 1950, therefore, is the condition of life under which their place in the world is now way. It has been their right and their privilege to teach the truth as they saw it, to review the mistakes of the past, to prepare students to be freedom loving adults. The Class of 1950, Anaheim Union high school, has been brought through a school system whose teachers have had no dictator force them to conform with his private conception of what a humanist, a scientist, or a historian should teach, or who would convert the school system into a governmental bureau where only one system of social and political philosophy could be discussed. We are still a free people, our school system is still unfettered. But, our freedom is based largely on what is taught to students in our schools. So, the folks who are responding to rip the "top sword from the most revered weapon since the atomic bomb guided missile. Reason Navy's itchy fingers think guided missiles make big bomber obsolete dodo. Here are some of the facts can be revealed without prejudice and comfort to the energy: 1. The guided missile unerringly to the target echoes. If, for instance, it is fired five miles to one target, it will automatically change its course while moving and hit the target. The distance a homing missile with its course remains a miracle; but the effect is a magnet drawing a bullet target. It cannot miss. 2. The Joint Chiefs of Staff including sober, cautious G Bradley, were so imprisoning missiles they reluctant Secretary of Louis Johnson to earn lions for mass experimentation and production. Johnson may approve an order. 3. The Navy in its construction program now Congress proposed two submarines be converted guided-missile carriers. 4. The Navy has anti-submarine and anti-silies which will dive under and speed toward a fast ship. This may make portation of troops in war most impossible. 5. It will also be fairly shoot down invading Comdr. L. P. Ramage. Actually, it is not a world of economic difficulty in winning a place for self, family, or home. Jobs are not too hard to find, and the chances of young folks to get married and settle down to married life, while they are still young, are as bright as they have ever been. The all important factor for the Class of 1950, therefore, is the condition of life under which their place in the world is won. To the Class of 1950, democracy may be no more than a system of government. But, actually, it is hoped the graduates soon will find that it is a way of life of which government is but a phase. When Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia he laid down the principles of the democratic way — the principles that schools should follow. It is the way of a free people From his ime to ours teachers in the main, have been the champions of that way—the democratic Colony Quips We break into Bill Abbott's series today with a little story about what is going on in the auction marts of trade which directly affect the money our growers will jingle in their pockets come winter. We get awfully sore when the orange market comes in. The current price of California valencia oranges is far below what it should be. The Florida grower is now receiving a minimum of three cents a pound, on the tree, for his fruit. This is the going price for fruit of poorer quality and fruit the equal of our 'juice' grade with 120 lbs. per ton of soluble solids is worth substantially more. It is a shame that the California grower is being forgotten in the pull for preference between our competing shippers. They compete among themselves and the grower is the pawn. On many of the valencias currently being sent to eastern markets the only thing the grower will harvest will be red ink. After June 17th there will be no 344's shipped. This came about in the OAC (prorate) meeting last week in this way: the Exchange voted against any size regulation while the MOD and Independents vot- of the market the Sunkist and Pure Gold people voted for a 1300 car prorate. This was justified by Wohlwend of the Exchange, who stated that in his opinion the market was about to respond and they did not want prices to "runaway." We around Anaheim take an entirely different view of the situation and believe the market could stand a good deal of what Sunkist's Wohlwend calls "runaway" in order to catch up with a lot of "red ink" that does not seem to bother him in the least. The only reason for the prorate, in our way of thinking, is to increase price. If we are going to start to worry now about the pavels which go to market next fall then we had better plant some in place of our valencias. This year our whole philosophy on the movement of the summer crop is in for a lot of changes. Our fresh fruit must go to market in its best bib and tucker. Last year California shipped some poor stuff and got a black eye from the consumer. The new product, frozen concentrate, while only known by a few potential consumers is a quality product and we will need our finest taste appeal to compete with it. We hope that much of the present price trouble is due to quality of fruit and over shipment of small sizes. But we are afraid that a good bit of our in- IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The Orange public schools will close with the school year Wednesday, June 30. The last day of the term will be celebrated by a school picnic in the Santiago Canyon. The young people anticipate a pleasant time. Scholars from the surrounding districts and the friends of education generally are invited to attend. The addition now being built to Goodman & Rimpau's store will be occupied by Mrs. Flora Brown, milliner. 50 Years Ago Miss Julia Nemetz has returned home after a sojourn in Los Angeles. Charley Bauer has moved into the Boldt residence. Mr. Eastman and family who have been occupants until recently, have purchased and moved into the Goldthwaite residence on Olive street. Miss Stella Lewis is visiting in town, the guest of Mrs. John Hartung. 25 Years Ago Mrs. A. A. Perdoma returned last week from a month's visit in Santa Barbara, where she was the guest of a former schoolmate, Mrs. S. Gradle. Miss Mildred Henry and Miss Galdys Craemer are now eligible for membership in the Bankerettes Club, having accepted positions at the First National Bank. WASHINGTON — The Navy is itching to rip the "top secret" label from the most revolutionary weapon since the atomic bomb—the guided missile. Reason for the Navy's itchy fingers is that it thinks guided missiles may make the big bomber obsolete as the dodo. Here are some of the facts which can be revealed without giving aid and comfort to the enemy: 1. The guided missile is guided unerringly to the target by radar echoes. If, for instance, a missile is fired five miles to one side of the target, it will automatically change its course while in the air and hit the target. The exact distance a homing missile will change its course remains a military secret; but the effect is that of a magnet drawing a bullet to the target. It cannot miss. 2. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, including sober, cautious Gen. Omar Bradley, were so impressed by homing missiles they persuaded reluctant Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson to earmark millions for mass experimentation and production. Johnson has finally approved an order. 3. The Navy in its new construction program now before Congress proposed two cruisers and a number of small vessels and submarines be converted into guided-missile carriers. 4. The Navy has developed anti-submarine and anti-ship missiles which will dive under water and speed toward a fast-moving ship. This may make the transportation of troops in wartime almost impossible. 5. It will also be fairly easy to shoot down invading airplanes. Navy. In fact, the Air Force was so impressed with the Lark, it purchased 82 from the Navy. It also went to bat with Secretary Johnson in demanding that funds be allocated for further developments. Note—Another weapon in the Navy's bag of scientific tricks is a pilotless ram jet plane. It operates on a radical principle—the more air it rams into, the faster it goes. Merry-Go-Round Ex-Sen. Johnson Sherman Cooper, the State Department's Republican adviser, has his eye on the governor's mansion in Kentucky. The popular and liberal Cooper may run in 1951. A win would put him in the spotlight at the 1952 GOP National convention... The Republican primary in Tennessee's first district is a bitter scrap between right and left wings of the party. Congressman Dayton E. Phillips, a GOP Progressive, is opposed by mossback ex-Congressman Carrol Reece, former Republican National chairman dour Sen. Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma is making the phony boast that he brought $225,000,000 of government projects to his state. He is circulating a campaign folder with a map showing Oklahoma flood control, power and irrigation projects for all of which he takes credit. Actually, Thomas had little to do with the projects. Hard-working congressmen pushed them through. AFFAIRS OF STATE by EARL G. WATERS SACRAMENTO (WNS) — The appointment of Ralph N. Kleps as California Legislative counsel Congress proposed two cruisers and a number of small vessels and submarines be converted into guided-missile carriers. 4. The Navy has developed anti-submarine and anti-ship missiles which will dive under water and speed toward a fast-moving ship. This may make the transportation of troops in wartime almost impossible. 5. It will also be fairly easy to shoot down invading airplanes. Comdr. L. P. Ramage of the Navy's guided-missile research reported to the Secretary of the Navy: "The highest priority goes to those missiles whose targets will hostile aircraft. The pendulum swings one way and then the other. The guided missile shows promise of achieving a quantum jump in the effectiveness of weapons available to a task force against the bomber. Success is inevitable." The Navy's "Lark" The only missile which can be described in print is called the Lark, of which the Navy has manufactured and tested approximately 200. Originally developed as a counter-weapon to the Jap kamikaze, the Lark has two liquid rocket engines, uses acid and aniline fuel, and can operate outside the dense oxygen layer of the earth's atmosphere. When the Lark nears the target, a second and independent electronic system automatically picks up the target and guides the missile to it. A proximity fuse sets off the bomb. The Lark weighs 1200 pounds and is 15 feet long. It has two pairs of wings at right angles. It is a healthy fact that the Air Force, instead of bucking a Navy development which may put big bombers out of business, is giving 100 per cent cooperation to the SACRAMENTO (WNS) — The appointment of Ralph N. Kleps as California Legislative counsel should go a long way towards renewing confidence in the state's legislature. For the Kleps appointment is an outstanding example of impartial consideration by the lawmakers. He was selected over a field of 11 candidates for the vacancy created by the appointment of Fred B. Wood to the First District Court of Appeals. The appointment authority of the legislature was vested in the Senate President Pro Tem Harold J. Powers, the Senate Finance Chairman William P. Rich, the Assembly Speaker Sam L. Collins, and Assembly Speaker Pro Tem Thomas A. Malopey. All four are Republicans but Kleps is a registered Democrat. Further, Kleps is free from entangling alliances with special interests of the state. No group sponsored his candidacy. His selection was made entirely upon the basis of the application he submitted. On top of an excellent educational background the new 36-year-old legislative counsel has had some valuable experience. In private law practice he has worked with two top San Francisco law firms, Pillsbury, Madison and Sutro, and Landels and Wiegel.
