THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher GENE DE PORIS Managing Editor WILLARD GREGORY City and Sports Editor MYLES BRADLEY Picture Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager A message for Anaheim merchants only... Al Garey, Anaheim businessman, has been appointed chairman of an Anaheim Chamber of Commerce committee to "sell the city." At a meeting of businessmen Wednesday he put forth some wisdom well worth repeating. Mr. Garey pointed out that if Anaheim is to grow and prosper our merchants, as an organized group, must actively and forcefully "sell Anaheim" to the almost 50,000 persons living in Anaheim and surrounding area. He believes Anaheimers must make a special effort to carry to the people in Anaheim's environs the message of the benefits available to them through shopping in Anaheim. Therein, he says, lies the crux of his a'borning efforts to bring Anaheim's top drawer business advertising and window displays. 3. Through billboards, window displays and window cards. 4. Through genuine cooperative encouragement of new business on the part of every merchant. Ahhhhh, in that last item he has put forth his most formidable volley. No public relations program or advertising campaign in the world works for long unless the merchants put their best foot forward at all times in handling customers. Sharp, courteous, competent salesmanship and excellent products are the best promotion items in the world. The Gazette feels Anaheim merchants have these items down pat. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago J. M. Guinn has returned from Sacramento. The San Francisco Chronicle pays that gentleman a well-deserved compliment and thinks that his nomination for superintendent of public instruction was an excellent one. Jackley's Vienna Circus will exhibit in Anaheim on next Wednesday, July 7. The tent will be pitched on the vacant lot adjoining the Gazette office. The postoffice department at San Juan Capistrano has been remodeled, and new and elegant lock-boxes now accommodate the dignitaries of that burg. 50 Years Ago Mrs. Kate Simpson, who fell some weeks ago and sustained a fracture of the hip bone is still in a precarious condition. The result of the injury will probably make her a cripple for life. Dr. Wilson is attending the patient. W. S. Fish came down from Los Angeles on Sunday to look after his property interests and shake friends of the members. Mrs. William Le Vecke was in charge of the entertainment. Four hundred people attended the banquet and enjoyed a splendid musical program as well as a number of excellent speeches. Joseph Scott, the principal speaker of the evening, has long been considered one of California's most brilliant orators. He is noted also for his intense patriotism. He spoke in high praise of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and its secretary, Mr. Reid, and advised the Knights to join it and help boost for Anaheim. He stated that Catholics and Protestants had worked together in creating this great nation and together would bring happiness and prosperity to the world. Other speakers were Rev. Ambrose O'Shea of Pomona, N. J. Stehly, Wm. Calhoun and Howard Calhoun of Los Angeles, John O'Sullivan, John Stahl, J. J. Quillan of Chicago and Geo. Reid, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. J. H. Plotzke, of the Mary Millerick Shop and his wife returned Tuesday from a three week's automobile tour in Northern California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Judged unsafe. He has stated that most schools prior to anti-earthquake legislation adopted in 1933 will meet the provisions of the laws. But it has been shown those school districts will qualified to receive state demonstration a concern whether or not their soils to a degree, unsafe. And this concern was denced until after the in 1947, for the first time state's history, appropriation for school construction. In addition to seeking from the state architect school districts have resourquesting reports from Fire Marshall to determine er or not their existing can be condemned as fire. The state architect remost frame school build structurally safe. If buildings can usually be ened to standards with mum expenditure. But the school district funds to modernize the plants turn in reports shame structures are fired. As in the case of adventural safety reports from architect, no showing is to the details which resulting the school a fire he is any estimate furnish what the cost would be bilitate the structure so the fire safety standard tomorrow). 50 Years Ago Mrs. Kate Simpson, who fell some weeks ago and sustained a fracture of the hip bone is still in a precarious condition.

SACRAMENTO, (WNS) — Of the $55 millions appropriated by the legislature and the $250 millions voted by the people to build additional classrooms for the poorer school districts, evidence is submitted that less than half this money is actually going for that purpose. It has been shown that much of the money is going for replacement of existing buildings and the building of many facilities other than actual classrooms. One way money has been obtained from the state to replace existing buildings is by the submission of a report from the state architect declaring present facilities unsafe. No supporting documents are submitted to show that the cost of strengthening such buildings would be out of reason in contrast to the cost of building anew. It has been stated by the state architect that 97 per cent of the existing two or more story brick or hollow tile school structures built prior to 1933 would be ad- A Drawback to Shaking Hands By THOMAS It would certainly be thing one could think able to get even near for the California growlieve it can be done. must force our selling a better job, not only also for themselves afford to its controlencia crop get out hands and be dealt with concerns which might simply for their own the same token the grow not sit idly by and se tents handle a crop in as to return 'peanuts' who grows the stuff.

He has further stated that most schools built prior to anti-earthquake legislation adopted in 1933 would not meet the provisions of those new laws. But it has been shown that only those school districts which are qualified to receive state aid have demonstrated a concern over whether or not their schools are to a degree, unsafe. And this concern was not evidenced until after the legislature in 1947, for the first time in the state's history, appropriated money for school construction. In addition to seeking a report from the state architect, some school districts have resorted to requesting reports from the state Fire Marshall to determine whether or not their existing schools can be condemned as fire hazards. The state architect reports that most frame school buildings are structurally safe. If not, such buildings can usually be strengthened to standards with a minimum expenditure. But the school districts seeking funds to modernize their school plants turn in reports showing the frame structures are fire hazards. As in the case of adverse structural safety reports from the state architect, no showing is made as to the details which result in making the school a fire hazard nor is any estimate furnished as to what the cost would be to rehabilitate the structure so as to meet the fire safety standards. (More tomorrow). WASHINGTON — Republican leaders, already casting eyes at 1952, are now divided into three general groups. Group No. 1—is for Taft. They believe the GOP should come out on a strong, out-and-out conservative platform, not be afraid to buck labor and not worry about isolation. They are critical of Security Resources board, remarked to ECAdministrator Paul Hoffman that he had to go to Yale over the week end because his two boys were graduating. "Well, I have three sons, two daughters and a son-in-law all graduating this year," remarked Hoffman modestly. This seemed almost too much to believe, even for a man as versatile as the Marshall Plan Administrator. But this columnist, checking the facts, found the remarkable score chalked up by the Hoffman family to be as follows: Donald Gray Hoffman graduated from Kenyon College, Ohio, in February, 1950. Lathrop Hoffman graduated from the University of California in February, 1950. Robert C. Hoffman will graduate from the University of California this fall. Barbara Hoffman will also graduate from California this fall. Mrs. Kiriki De Diego Newmark, a ward, is graduating from Bennington College in July. Ben Newmark, Hoffman's son-in-law, graduated from Williams in February, 1950. Not a bad record for one man in one year! Dangerous Senator?? With a majority of North Carolina publishers opposing Senator Frank Graham for re-election, a majority of working newsmen are for him. And unable to find adequate expression in all of their papers, the newsmen put out a special edition of the Mecklenburg Democrat in honor of Senator Graham. Lead story in the special paper started off: "Frank Graham is as dangerous as the Declaration of Independence, as radical as the beatitudes, as revolutionary as the Bill of Rights." The newsmen also pointed out that Graham has received honorary degrees from Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Duke, Davidson, William and Mary, Amherst, Dartmouth, University of Louisville. Colony Quips The 2.5 million dollar fire which destroyed the fresh fruit and single strength juice canning facilities of the Polk Packing Assn. in Winter Haven, Florida, last week, failed to reach the huge new frozen concentrates plant which was an integral part of the thirty-year-old plant. This last is the important part, to California growers, of the whole story. Even though close to 400,000 cases of single strength juice and sections were destroyed in the blaze, probably enough to increase the whole price structure, but the owners' salty tears seem limited and plans are going forward to make the remaining plant the nucleus of one of the most modern citrus processing plants in Florida. We merely point this out to show that the whole philosophy of selling the fruit down there has changed. Before you start answering that one remember that this thinking has changed MORE in the last three years than in all the citrus growing years Florida. Orange County has licensed to sell liquor to a report issued to state board of equalization. In its report, which counties of the state said 48,345 premises are licensed to sell liquor, in the county, they were divided as follop.

Group No. 1—is for Taft. They believe the GOP should come out on a strong, out-and-out conservative platform, not be afraid to buck labor and not worry about isolation. They are critical of Dewey because he was too New Dealish, are convinced a strong conservative can win. Group No. 2—is for Eisenhower. This group is led by Tom Watson, head of International Business Machines, and various New York bigwigs. They think the party needs a strong, new name, even if once connected with the military; that Ike has kept out of politics, has made few enemies, would sweep the nation. Group No. 3—is for Governor Warren of California or Governor Duff of Pennsylvania. These are progressive leaders who point out that the GOP cannot win without labor, and that the big mistake they always make is to figure the Democrats are so weak that the GOP can "win with a Chinaman." Warren's stock has taken a big jump since his overwhelming victory in the recent primaries in California. Sage leaders remind themselves that a man who beats a Roosevelt (Jimmy is running against him) will prove to the voting public that he has what other Republicans haven't had for 16 years. And they aren't at all sure the American public will fall for a military man even if he has been wearing a cap and gown. Marshall Plan Papa Youngish-looking Stuart Symington, chairman of the National Lead story in the special paper started off: "Frank Graham is as dangerous as the Declaration of Independence, as radical as the beatitudes, as revolutionary as the Bill of Rights." The newsmen also pointed out that Graham has received honorary degrees from Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Duke, Davidson, William and Mary, Amherst, Dartmouth, University of Louisville and several others. Despite this, Graham is now being assailed by some of the state's big textile and cigarette interests as a dangerous radical. Under the Dome Several Boston bluebloods, including Richard Saltonstall, brother of the senator from Massachusetts, have money tied up in Texmass Petroleum company — now under investigation by the Senate. Texmass wangled a $15,000,000 RFC loan to pay back its creditors and investors. However, this column, after a careful check, is convinced that Senator Saltonstall didn't lift a finger to put through the loan and get his brother's money back. (Richard Saltonstall invested $50,000.) Secretary Acheson got a blistering cable from Ambassador Wiley in Iran, after this writer predicted Wiley would be replaced as ambassador by Henry Grady, former ambassador to Greece. When the Iranian embassy in Washington heard the prediction, it cabled the news to Teheran and the Iranian Foreign Minister called on Ambassador Wiley to say farewell. Wiley knew nothing about his imminent recall and when it was confirmed, he sent a scorching cable, saying he was insulted to learn of his recall second-hand from the Iranian government and Drew Pearson. has known. It has also brought the return to the grower up from 30 cents a box to over three dollars a box this year. This means a statewide average of $72 per sold on the tree, to the grower, for all statewide oranges produced in Florida this year. It would certainly be worth anything one could think of fast to be able to get even near that figure for the California grower. We believe it can be done. We growers must force our selling agents to do a better job, not only for us but also for themselves. We cannot afford to the control of our valencia crop, get out of growers' hands and be dealt with by large concerns which might tie us up simply for their own purpose. By the same token the grower should not sit idly by and see incompetent handle a crop in such a way as to return 'peanuts' to the man who grows the stuff. Every business that you can name is at an all time high — except the California orange business. Look at the condition of the Florida grower. Look at the condition of the General Motors stockholder and the worker in its plants. Look at any business venture you like and will be healthy and solvent to a greater degree, in most cases, than in its entire history. Then take another look at the California valenca market. We are increasing the prorate, moving the crop, and, if we keep on like we have in the past couple of weeks, going broke in the midst of plenty. But the Exchange's Mr. Wohlwend said some days ago that we must not let a 'runaway' market get prices too high. Maybe it would help to determine salaries by the return to the grower. Then the boys at the top, who we little people see only at a distance, might start to do soms thinking on getting some money back home. Bet you Minute Maid would not Orange County Has 640 Liquor Licenses Orange county has 640 premises licensed to sell liquor, according to a report issued today by the state board of equalization. In its report, which covered all counties of the state, the board said 48,345 premises in California are licensed to sell liquor. In the county, the total licenses were divided as follows: On sale beer and wine, 84; retail package off sale beer and wine, 179; retail package off sale general license, 103; on sale beer, 181; veterans club, 7; club, 4. The report stated that 13 establishments in the county have both on sale and off sale general licenses. Pomona college has received a gift of $50,000 for scholarships from the George F. Baker trust of New York. The trust this year granted such gifts to 12 colleges for the purpose of educating young men who otherwise could not afford advanced schooling.
