Anaheim Gladiola Grower Confesses Glad-Bug's Bite "When the glad bug bites you—you're gone!" At least that's what Guy French, 758 N. Clementine st., says. And he should know. French was "bitten by the bug" five years ago and today, as a commercial gladiola bulb and cut flower grower, he's going stronger than ever before. Well above the "little 10,000 bulb grower class," French raises his radiant crops on extensive acreage on N. Euclid ave. A member of the Southern California Gladiola Society, he recently proved the perfection of his field by copping an astounding 25 ribbons at the society's annual gladiola show at Exposition park. French cultivates about 300 different varieties of gladiola's at his Anaheim flower farm, among them the Snow Princess, Rosa Van Lima, Red Charm, and most other leading species. He also does a certain amounting of hybridization work, having several seedling plants he hopes soon to register. He adds that on this matter of creating new varieties, however, that "If you get one good one in a lifetime, you're lucky." Raising gladiolas from May to November, French markets the majority of his cut flowers to Orange county florists. Memorial Lima, Red Charm, and most other leading species. He also does a certain amounting of hybridization work, having several seedling plants he hopes soon to register. He adds that on this matter of creating new varieties, however, that "If you get ore good one in a lifetime, you're lucky." Raising gladiolas from May to November, French markets the majority of his cut flowers to Orange county florists. Memorial Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and other spring and summer holidays are what French calls "good market days." He adds that weddings and funerals are the source of a day to day demand. French, a former Burbank aircraft plant employee, entered the business five years ago when a fancier sold him two dozen bulbs for his garden. "Bitten by the Bug," French's gladiola stocks quickly doubled in value and spread to a nearby vacant lot. Two years later, the Frenches moved to Anaheim and commenced operations on a still larger scale locally. An uncertain business with many pitfalls, French yearly faces severe losses from wireworms, from weather, and over-supplied markets. He offers this tip to successful flower-growing, however: "You can't be afraid of work and you have to love the flowers you grow, to begin with." French adds he'll be glad to talk with glad-bug-bitten glad growers anytime about problems. KNOTT'S BERRY FARM DEFENDANT IN SUIT Walter Knott and his family as operators of Knott's Berry Farm, west of Anaheim, were named defendants today in a Superior court suit filed by Mrs. Ethel Brown Wade, who asks $25,000 damages for injuries received in a fall at the Berry Farm a year ago. Mrs. Wade suffered her injury July 6, 1949, when she stepped in a hole in a walk. She asks $239 for damage to her clothing and $546 for loss of earnings, in addition to the $25,000 general damage claim.

A NEW SHIPMENT OF SLIX World at Glance (Continued from Page One) ington said General MacArthur had advised the Pentagon the situation of the retreating GI's in Korea "is not considered serious in any way." The spokesman denied that an American infantry outpost had been "wiped out" by the red advance. He said the outpost had withdrawn behind strong defensive positions with "very moderate" losses and under approved tactical procedure. Tanks Move The North Korean tank force captured Pyongtaek, 36 miles South of Seoul. Then it overran Songhwan, another five miles to the south, and Chonan, seven miles beyond Songhwan. Word that the red forces had thrust 60 miles beyond Seoul came in a front dispatch from AP correspondent Tom Lambert. A Tokyo headquarters communique, probably lagging behind front developments, put the reds in an area 31 miles south of Seoul and eight miles south of Suwon. In strikes at the advancing red armor American F-80 jet planes destroyed eight enemy tanks, the communique said. A field headquarters spokesman, in an apparent summary of all recent action, said 20 to 35 of the North Korean's Russian-built tanks had been destroyed along with 19 to 25 Yak planes. He said the reds had 160 to 170 tanks in South Korea and speculated they might be running low on fuel as their drive progressed. American reinforcements were being rushed to three points on the U.S. left flank at Pyongyon, Kongdoyu and Kanu. Americans withdrew from one key command post after suffering what an officer called nominal to heavy casualties. One U.S. officer described the red drive as a small scale blitzkrieg.
