In November we have a general election. These troubled times make an election a mighty important event. The coming election is of urgent importance to Californians since a number of important issues will be settled, a Governor will be elected, and officials from Senator right on down will be selected by the voters. Reduced to reading the reams of "canned editorials" which cram the mails every day, we sorted out the ones plugging the coming election. A few of them urge the voters to turn out the rascals who, to some folks, always seem to be in office. (For no apparent reason on office holder—good, bad or indifferent—is always a rascal to some people.) Another canned editorial gets in a few sound blows against minorities who want to "steal" elections from the folks who star perhaps it might be a good idea to print one of them. So, here is one. It says: GUARD YOUR VOTE—REGISTER Every Californian 21 and over should draw a circle around November 7 on the calendar. In many respects it will be the most important election day of the decade. This year, in addition to the usual importance of casting ballots for candidates and of voting either for or against ballot measures that affect the welfare of every person in the State, the Legislature that is elected will have a great deal to say concerning the political destiny of California for some time to come. For once the national census is completed, Congress will reapportion seats in the House of Representatives among the States on the basis of population gained or lost IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago An auction sale of lots in the new town of Colton, San Bernardino county, will take place on Wednesday the 25th inst. The easy terms of sale and the favorable future prospects of the town are great inducements to purchase. An excursion train will run on the day of the sale. Shortly after midnight a fire was discovered in the stable in the rear of Dr. Yocum's residence. An alarm was given and within a few minutes the bucket brigade was engaged in a struggle with the flames. The hay stored in the stable burned furiously, but the absence of wind and the gallant fight of the citizens succeeded in confining the flames to the shed in which the fire originated. Dr. Yocum, who discovered the fire, endeavored instantly to release the horses, but before the carriage, which block- 25 Years Ago Oscar Gibbs has obtained a job from contractor Franzen, and is cleaning brick at the building being razed at the corner of Center and Lemon streets (the old Lanyan building) to make room for the new SQR store. Oscar receives a minimum of 50 cents per hour, works bankers hours, gets Saturday afternoons off and is rapidly rolling up a wad of the real McCoy. Mrs. Raymond Spaulding of Hollywood was a guest at the home of her sister, Mrs. Hilda Chandler, 130 South Philadelphia street, Sunday. Mrs. Floyd West and children are visiting relatives and friends in Toledo, Ohio. They expect to return to this city about the first of September. Shortly after midnight a fire was discovered in the stable in the rear of Dr. Yocum's residence. An alarm was given and within a few minutes the bucket brigade was engaged in a struggle with the flames. The hay stored in the stable burned furiously, but the absence of wind and the gallant fight of the citizens succeeded in confining the flames to the shed in which the fire originated. Dr. Yocum, who discovered the fire, endeavored instantly to release the horses, but before the carriage, which blocked the entrance could be removed, one of the horses was dead and the other so badly burned that it had to be shot this morning. A woman was seen to leave the stables when the fire was first discovered, and her presence is supposed to have had something to do with the disaster. 50 Years Ago Clarence Groat was in town on Tuesday on his way to Bolsa Chica, where he has a force of mechanics at work lowering the weirway in the docks across the channel to extreme low water mark. He states that probably a number of cottages will be erected by the gun club in the fall prior to the beginning of the winter season. Miss Nora Storm was married at her mother's home in Fullerton yesterday at high noon to Henry C. Babize of Santa Ana. Rev. James Stone of this city performed the ceremony. The newly wedded couple left last evening for San Jose where they will make their home. Otto Rust returned on Monday from Ocean Park near Santa Monica where his family is spending a few weeks. Mrs. Raymond Spaulding of Hollywood was a guest at the home of her sister, Mrs. Hilda Chandler, 130 South Philadelphia street, Sunday. Mrs. Floyd West and children are visiting relatives and friends in Toledo, Ohio. They expect to return to this city about the first of September. The lady employees of the First National Bank and the American Savings Bank as well as some of the gentlemen belonging to the banks and their wives were entertained one evening last week by Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Wallop at their Balboa summer cottage. Guests included Mr. and Mrs. William Sieman, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Benjamin, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Hilleary, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Zitzman, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Randall, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Peck and the Misses Murl Gossett, Thelma Strathman, Madge Sanders, Marie Troost, Edith Yoes, Mildred Henry, Cecil Atherton, Amy Degryce and Wilhelmina Zitzman. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Jones of Anaheim and Mr. and Mrs. Sam Collins of Fullerton returned last week from a ten days' trip in the mountains of the northern part of the state, which included a visit to the Sequoia National Forest. On their way home they visited at the new Chapman ranch, where Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Chapman of Fullerton are staying. Miss Alice Wright of the J. C. Penney store has returned from a vacation spent in Minnesota and Kansas where she visited with relatives. You will suffer an embarrassing defeat if you go through with this," warned Senate Majority Leader Scott Lucas of Illinois. "There isn't the slightest chance of the Senate or firming any of the four nominations. I strongly suggest you withdraw them." Lucas pointed out it was less to buck the long-strain Senate "tradition" of never proving a nominee who isjectionable to a Senator from same state. Hutchinson was...

One infantryman has about 17,000 tons of ammunition and uses about 436 of stuff a day fighting a deception. Of Pusan runs a double track to Taegu, as well as highways that are poor by western standards to other frontline sectors. If the North Koreans had the planes or the rockets to knock out Pusan, they would make things even hotter for the defenders than they have. Whether emergency cargo handling methods, such as those demonstrated on the Normandy beaches during the last war, could overcome a knockout blow is something else again. A third of a million people are packed into Pusan normally, making it Korea's third city, the National Geographic Society reports. It has textile mills, a gas manufacturing plant and factories that produce soap, rubber goods and other articles, as well as military installations. Many of the buildings are modern because the Japanese, who called it Fusap, developed the city and its port facilities. It lies only 135 miles from the Japanese port of Shimonoseki. Long before the Japanese were able to get a foothold in Korea, the Koreans made Pusan a fortress against invasion. Ed. Note—While Drew Pearson is on a brief vacation, his will be written by members of his staff. WASHINGTON — The Ameri-Embassy reports from Moskau that the Kremlin is delighted to loan Dictator Franco 2000,000. In fact, the Russians are already planning to use this as a tool for anti-American propaganda. The reds have a list of quotes from Franco's lips, more poisonous than anything they could invent. Are a few Franco quotes in the communists will be ing in our faces? 1977 — (To Hitler) "Fervent resentment as the great German people once under the glorious emperor of the swastika. Heil Hitler." 1988 — (To Hitler) "Cordial conclusions (on annexation of the US)." remember Lidice? 1917 — "What joy to see the Ger- posed by Virginia's Sen. Harry Byrd, while Sen. Guy Gillette of Iowa objected to Switzer. "I'm sorry I can't accept your recommendation, Scott," replied Truman. "But I made those nominations and I intend to stand back of them—all of them. They are good men, well qualified for the positions to which I have named them." "That may be true, but you'll never get them through the Senate," countered Lucas. The Illinoisan then reminded the president that he (Truman) had voted against Judge Floyd Roberts of Virginia in a similar case when he was a member of the Senate in 1939. Roberts also was opposed by Byrd. "Yes, I remember that," retorted Truman, without batting an eye. "And if I were in the Senate now I would do the same thing." Note—the other two Truman appointees, turned down by the Senate, were Neil Andrews for Northern Georgia Federal Judge and Frank Hook of Michigan for the motor carrier claims commission. "Home-Front" Blacklist bed the "phantom Congressman" by Drew Pearson, because he seldom shows up in Washington. (That's providing the Dems retain control in November.) Freshman representative Tony Tauriello of New York deserves chief credit for lifting Britain's unfair arms embargo on Israel. Tip to Senator Pepper of Florida: If you want the real lowdown on Senator Brewster's story that he hired Joseph Shimon, wire-tapping D.C. police lieutenant, to protect him (Brewster) from an alleged "shadow," ask Shimon's assistants on this case. Shimon never once told his confederates about a "shadow" on Brewster, which any good cop normally would do if he was hired to protect a U.S. Senator. Instead, Shimon ordered his aides to spend all their time tapping the wires of Howard Hughes, the TWA official then under investigation by Brewster. Colony You will suffer an embarrassing defeat if you go through this," warned Senate Majority Leader Scott Lucas of Ohio. "There isn't the slight chance of the Senate continuing any of the four nominations. I strongly suggest that withdraw them." Lucas pointed out it was used to buck the long-standing tradition of never apologizing a nominee who is obnobable to a Senator from the state. Hutchinson was op-ed case when he was a member of the Senate in 1939. Roberts also was opposed by Byrd. "Yes, I remember that," retorted Truman, without batting an eye.

"Home-Front" Blacklist All patriotic Americans are disgusted with the greedy hoarders and profiteers who read the headlines about American boys dying in Korea, then rush to the stores to stock up on scare goods or push up prices to cash in on the crisis. As our part to combat this un-Americanism, we wish to use this space to alert public opinion against me-firsters. We urge decent Americans in every community to organize "home front" committees to campaign against local hoarders, profiteers and rent gougers. Any people who think more of their comfort than of their freedom will lose both. Capital Chaff A rookie Capitol cop, eying a "suspicious" character browsing through newspapers in the House lounge, gruffly inquired: "Are you a member?"

Walter Thompson Co. advertising agency will take over the two million dollar Florida Citrus Commission advertising account with Don Francisco, for 23 years advertising manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, in active charge of the account, is of interest to every California grower. Yet it has hardly been whispered about in the industry. Neither was the 6000 (six thousand) gallons of frozen concentrate that Birdseye turned down and, we are reliably informed, had to be dumped over there at Ontario, California. Then how about that consignment of single strength juice that went up to Canada "slack filled" and cost a lot of money for a California man to fly to Toronto and rework the lot? Where is the return to the grower coming from? Why do we tie all this up together? To show that one of our large shippers shows signs of losing their Nurserymen say... by Orange County Nurserymen's Association Cyclamen plants require much the same conditions as Primulas, Fuchsias, or Cinerarias. That is, a cool spot without too much direct sunlight. A lath house in our area is usually good, or the plants may be set on the shaded east side of a house. However, dense shade is not good as large ungainly leaves are produced and certain diseases are encouraged by such conditions. The best soil for growing Cyclamen is a rich loam of leaf mold, or they do well in finely ground leaf mold. A mixture of equal parts of leaf mold, loam, and sharp sand is usually used. This mixture is used both for starting and potting. If possible it should be steam sterilized. If one wishes to start the plants from seed, they are planted sometime from August to December in seed pans or flats, set about one fourth inch deep and one inch apart. They should be set in a fairly warm spot and must be kept moist at all times. Germination takes a month or more. Unless the seed is fresh, germination will be irregular. When about two weeks old, the seedlings are set in flats or small pots. Plants are shifted to three, four, and five inch pots during the course of their growth. About sixteen months are needed for seedlings to reach blooming size. Plants offered by nurseries are already several months old so there is a considerable saving of time and trouble by use of such plants. These plants may be potted or set directly in the shade gar- good as too much a growth is caused. Plants should be sprayed with nicotine or pyrethrum-rotenone for control of aphis and mites. Diseases may be mostly prevented by clean and careful culture and soil sterilization. 56 Per Cent More Veterans Claiming State Aid Benefits The state of California gave financial assistance totaling $1,-438,215.32 to 5790 World War II veterans who attended school during the spring term of 1950. Twelve of these schools are in Orange county. This was reported today by the State Department of Veterans Affairs which stated the enrollment figure represents a 56 per cent increase over the spring 1949 semester, when the state educational assistance program helped 3635 veterans at a cost of $923,-423. The sharp increase in state aid to veteran students reflects the fact that a greater number of veterans are exhausting the benefits available to them under the GI bill of rights and are turning to the state program to complete their courses. Of the total students enrolled in 232 schools in 29 California counties, 12 attended educational institutions in Orange county costing the state $2487.40. Eligible for benefits are those honorably discharged veterans who were bona fide residents of California, at the time of their entry into military service and who served at least 90 days prior to January 1, 1947. MOBILIZATION CONFERENCE SET FOR SMALL BUSINESS A government Small Business Mobilization conference, scheduled for Sept. 5, at which Southern Californians will be told by go- When Florida has just taken on going to do. They are going to make more people WANT to buy Florida citrus whether in cans or fresh. They have it all: They SELL it all. They return more money to the grower than he has ever had for his fruit. The whole economic structure of Florida is 41 the highest ebb it has been. Those southerners are out there fighting for sales and are making them. They demand results from their "hired hands" as witness the hiring of Benton and Bowles an agency which had the account for several years. They grow their fruit for MONEY and good money. If some of their boys went out and andersold us to get the business—we would get the business. They don't want any underselling, they want MONEY for their oranges. They are getting it. Minute Maid pays more for fruit in Florida than they pay Mr. Wilcox for his growers fruit. Who is he working for anyway? AFFAIRS OF STATE EARL G. WATERS MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD, RESERVISTS CALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY, AND CIVILIANS CALLED UP FOR INDUCTION WILL RECEIVE THE SAME PROTECTION AFFORDED THose called by the military during World War II. This protection is afforded under terms of the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief and the Selective Service Act. A further protection of rights for those whose studies under the GI Bill are interrupted. This ruling is to the effect that such persons will not be bound by the July 25, 1950, cutoff date for starting courses. They will be permitted to resume studies "within a reasonable period" following their release from latest service. Employment rights will continue to be guaranteed under the Selective Service Act for honorably discharged veterans. Most important to the many reservists who are subject to call are the provisions of the Civil Relief Act. This assures these men, many of whom are veterans who returned to civilian life and undertook the normal obligations coincident with establishing their own homes, a protection from mistreatment by creditors. The act provides for moratoriums on debts which the service seed is fresh, germination will be irregular. When about two weeks old, the seedlings are set in flats or small pots. Plants are shifted to three, four, and five inch pots during the course of their growth. About sixteen months are needed for seedlings to reach blooming size. Plants offered by nurseries are already several months old so there is a considerable saving of time and trouble by use of such plants. These plants may be potted or set directly in the shade garden. Cyclamen must have ample moisture at all times, but the soil must not be soggy. Pots should be set where there is good drainage and where the temperature is around 50 degrees to 55 degrees. Frequent overhead watering mornings aids in keeping the plants in good condition. Liquid fertilizer applied weekly during the summer encourages growth, or a dressing of dry fertilizer may be used two or three times. Too much fertilizer is not costing the state $2487.40. Eligible for benefits are those honorably discharged veterans who were bona fide residents of California, at the time of their entry into military service and who served at least 90 days prior to January 1, 1947. MOBILIZATION CONFERENCE SET FOR SMALL BUSINESS A government Small Business Mobilization conference, scheduled for Sept. 5, at which Southern Californians will be told by government officials how they may contribute to mobilization efforts, was being arranged today by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce at the invitation of Senators Sheridan Downey and William F. Knowland. Harold W. Wright, general manager, said invitations are being broadcast to the business community from San Luis Obispo and the Southern San Joaquin Valley south to the Mexican border. The meeting will be held at the Ambassador Hotel.
