Valencia Market View Improves For the second consecutive week, sales of Southern California Valencia oranges exceeded shipments and from a statistical standpoint, the outlook points to an improved marketing situation in the not too distant future. Total sales for the week ending August 26 were about 40 cars less than the previous week, because of lighter arrivals, and the fob average was unchanged. Competition to California citrus continues from abundant supplies of relatively low priced summer fruits and melons. With the return of vacationers and the reopening of schools in September, increased demand for citrus has normally been experienced and this year should prove no exception. For the past five weeks, Southern California Valencias have not been subject to proration but, effective the week beginning August 27, the Orange Administration Committee set a prorate of 1000 cars of 288s and larger Southern California Valencias to move in fresh channels that week. Under much below average offerings for this time of year, sales of California lemons during the week ending August 26 were approximately 50 cars less than the previous week, the fob average unchanged. During most of the week unfavorable weather prevailed in almost all of the major markets but improved daytime temperatures towards the end of the week resulted in increased interest in lemons at a slightly higher price level. Because of the lighter supplies on track and Cold War Between U.S. and Russia Over Century Old Says Commentator By CHARLES HONCE If you have any idea this cold war between Russia and the United States is something new, or, at best, only a few years old, you are sadly mistaken. The fact is it has been going on for almost a century. Or, at least, there have been persistent rumblings over that period of storm ahead. Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, who opened Japan to the world in 1854, predicted as early as 1856 an "inevitable" battle between the growing giants, Russia and the United States. American cartoons of 80 years ago show both Uncle Sam and Ivan reaching for Asia. Thus during the period when the great English, French and German empires were building up, the real titans of the coming world struggle actually were the two other fellows who now dominate the global scene. Of course there have been interludes of good fellowship. There was even a time when an American Secretary of the Navy could write, "God bless the Russians." He entered this remark in his diary in 1863 when a Russian fleet entered New York Harbor; presumably an act of friendship during a depressing moment of the Civil War. Another time the Russians did the United States a particularly good turn. This was in 1867 when the Russian Minster told Secretary of State Seward one night that Czar Alexander II would sell Russian America (Alaska) for $7,000,000. Seward didn't wait for anybody, and at 4 a.m. on March 30, 1867 the deal was signed. Although the cost of Alaska's 375,000,000 acres was less than two cents an acre, Seward got the merry ha ha and for years the purchase was known as "Seward's Folly." But no more. It shut the Russians, the greatest expansionists in history, out of the American continent. The Russians actually hadn't stopped yet to be unfolded; and notwithstanding the reason of political empires, westward, northward and southward, to me it seems that the people of America will, in some form or other extend their dominion and their power, until they shall have brought with them their mighty embrace, multitude of the islands of the Great Pacific. "And I think too, that eastward and southward will her great rival in future aggrandizement (Russia) stretch forth her power to the coasts of China and Siam and thus the Saxon and Cossack will meet once more, in strife or friendship on another field. "Will it De in friendship? I fear not! "The antagonistic exponents of freedom and absolutism must meet at last, and then will be fought that mighty battle of which the world will look with breathless interest. "On its issues will depend the freedom or slavery of the world—despotism or rational liberty must be the fate of civilized man." "I think I see in the distance the giants that are growing up for that furious and final encounter." Camp Extension Hearing Slated September 8 Plans of Citrus Growers, Inc., organization of packinghouse executives engaged in supplying Mexican nationals for the citrus harvest, to enlarge housing facilities of their labor establishment southeast of Anaheim from quarters for 450 men on two and three-fourths acres, to quarters for 1200 men on nine acres, will have a hearing before the county planning September 8 at 2:15 p.m. The date was set at a meeting of the Planning Commission.

Rohrs Anaheim, California Phone ZEnith 2518 Seward didn't wait for anybody, and at 4 a.m. on March 30, 1867 the deal was signed. Although the cost of Alaska's 375,000,000 acres was less than two cents an acre, Seward got the merry ha ha and for years the purchase was known as "Seward's Folly." But no more. It shut the Russians, the greatest expansionists in history, out of the American continent. The Russians actually hadn't stopped at Alaska but in earlier days had settlements all down the American coast. Some Russian vestiges still persist in California. (Incidentally if Soviet Russia ever gave official imprimatur to Czarist Russia's sale of Alaska there has never been any public announcement of it.) America's purchase of Alaska brought the two countries very close together. It is only 55 miles between Alaska and Russian Asia, but more significant is the scant three and one-half miles of water between Little Diomede Island, which belongs to the United States, and Big Diomede, which is under the Soviet flag. Characteristically, the Eskimos who live on these islands cannot officially visit each other. Back in the 1870's, Frank Bellew of Harper's Magazine, prophetically pictured the new Pacific scene in a cartoon "Two Young Giants. Ivan and Jonathan Reaciling For Asia by Opposite Routes." Uncle Sam had his hand on the Sandwich Isles (Hawaii) in a commercial deal while Ivan was clutching in the direction of China. And now, here is how Admiral Perry eyed the situation after dealings with Russian Pacific outposts: "It requires," he said in a paper read before the American Geographic Society on March 6, 1856, "no sage to predict events so strongly foreshadowed to us all..." But the last act of the drama is Plans of Citrus Growers, Inc., organization of packinghouse executives engaged in supplying Mexican nationals for the citrus harvest, to enlarge housing facilities of their labor establishment southeast of Anaheim from quarters for 450 men on two and three-fourths acres, to quarters for 1200 men on nine acres, will have a hearing before the county planning September 8 at 2:15 p.m. The date was set at a meeting of the Planning Commission. A petition signed by 16 adjacent property owners opposed the Citrus Growers, Inc., application for land use permit when it came before the Planning Commission Friday afternoon. Eight opponents of the expansion move were present to speak orally against it. Site of the labor housing project is at Vermont ave., and East st., in an area classified as suburban residential. Citrus Fruit Rate Book Released The why and how of the present citrus fruit rate structure is the subject of Citrus Fruit Rates Development and Economic Appraisal ($3.25), published recently by the University of Florida Press. The conditions which have produced the present rates, and a picture of the resulting complex economic pattern, are fully discussed by the authors of the work, Professors Truman C. Bigham and Merrill J. Roberts. Rate structures of the three major citrus-producing states, California, Florida, and Texas, are evaluated and suggestions for change made where existing practices appear to depart from the given economic standards. Citrus Fruit Rates is designed to appeal to students of transportation, and to professional and general readers interested in the economic forces of this branch of agriculture. is a vital necessity to ANAHEIM and its environs. The present system is overloaded and worn out in many places. The flow of effluent has more than tripled in less than a year. MAILBAG—A customer postcards his sentiments on painting footprints over sidewalks as an advertising stunt. He agrees. The guilty parties should see to it that ANAHEIM's sidewalks should remain free of any sort of advertising stunts... "I am a lonely fellow, 38, have a good car, good job as jobs go, but still I'm a lonely batchellor. Perhaps you know a lonely girl who would like to meet a lonely guy for laughs and to pal around with." No, sir, the GAZETTEER does not know any lonely gals, but if one should answer we'll forward the reply to you. That's part of a columnist's job to provide service for his customers... Incidentally, the GAZETTEER has offered to teach Carl Pennington how to draw, if there are any ANAHEIM teenagers who'd like to draw just drop the GAZETTEER (John Neubauer, P.O. Box 501, Anaheim) a line and we'll make an extra copy for you, too. That's part of the service of a col'm, too. What's more, it won't cost you anything but postage to learn what we learned from Walt Disney, Rube Wolfe, Ed Nofziger, and Cy Young... That reminds me of the time they sent a bunch of us out to work on a Janet Gaynor Picture at Fox... but that has nothing to do with ANAHEIM, so we'll skip it... REMEMBER—Anyone can learn if he applies himself. Practice—the right kind of practice—makes for perfection. State Calls for A. and Russia Commentator be unfolded; and notwithstanding the reason of political westward, northward and ward, to me it seems that people of America will, in form or other extend their mind and their power, until all have brought within mighty embrace, multitudes lands of the Great Pacific. I think too, that eastward southward will her great future aggrandizement stretch forth her power coasts of China and Siam; to the Saxon and Cossacks it once more, in strife or up on another field. It be in friendship? I fear antagonistic exponents of land absolutism must then last, and then will be that mighty battle on the world will look with us interest. Is issues will depend the mor slavery of the worldism or rational liberty the fate of civilized man. I see in the distance that are growing up for obvious and final encounter. SIDELINE SLANTS—Before returning to school, ANAHEIM's Roaring Rainbows will make another tournament bid at Bellflower this week. Don Liebhard and Dave Hernandez believe they have a good chance in the eight team tournament... Liebhard will return to Pepperdine in the fall, while Hernandez continues his college work at Fresno State... He has nothing but praise for Rabbit Bradshaw, former Fresno State coach, who now heads the Fresno recreational program... Frank Doretti is an exceptionally good scorekeeper. He records all the action... Johnny McDonald isn't too happy with his bat boy's job. Some of the Rainbow stars demand that he pay off in ice cream bars to hold his job... What Terry Tangney lacks in size he makes up in aggressiveness... Dennis Daniels, like Harry Beans and Verne Weaver, plays better ball at the ANAHEIM City Park than he does away from home... Anyway, it was fun. And the Rainbows will do a better job at Bellflower this week... Marilyn Rimpau is to be congratulated for the fine work she has been doing with the ANAHEIM Bloomer Girls. Walt Cullen, the North ANAHEIMER, who helped pioneer girls' softball with the SERA back in 1936, has nothing but praise for the ANAHEIM girls and their coach... CONGRATULATIONS — The ANAHEIM Chamber of Commerce is to be congratulated for the fine manner in which it is continuously working for the betterment of ANAHEIM, a city of schools, churches, parks and industry. It is doing a herculean job. And it isn't an easy one either. Disney, Rube Wolfe, Ed Noziger, and Cy Young... That reminds me of the time they sent a bunch of us out to work on a Janet Gaynor Picture at Fox... but that has nothing to do with ANAHEIM, so we'll skip it...

State Calls for Social Workers To round out the care and treatment program for patients in State mental hospitals, the Department of Mental Hygiene employs three levels of Psychiatric Social Workers. These are Junior, Senior, and Supervising Psychiatric Social Worker. They may be assigned to a State institution, clinic, or district and help the patient and members of his family during the readjustment period. The State Personnel Board has just announced that examinations are to be given in October in California and other states in order that the most competent personnel in the field may be obtained for this important phase of the mental health program. The social workers supplement the work of the psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, occupational, physical, music and recreation therapists of the hospital staffs. Applications are being accepted by Personnel Board officers in Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles until September. Candidates for all three must have completed a graduate curriculum in psychology in a recognized education requirement for the junior paying a salary range of $325. Two years of such psychiatric social work experience is required for the senior paying $325-$395 and for the supervising positioning $358-$436. Applications are also accepted by Personnel Board at 1015 L st., Sacramento State Building, Los Angeles 107 State Building, San Francisco for the following: September 19: Psychiatrist, $255; senior Psychiatrist, $341.

It is doing a herculean job. And it isn't an easy one either. NEWSETTES—W. A. Mills, the ANAHEIMER who is co-owner of the McCoy and Mills automobile agency in Fullerton began razing the building that was destroyed by a $500,000 fire that proved the worth of ANAHEIM's new ladder truck. Adolf Schoepe owns a beautiful new home in the hills north of ANAHEIM. It is as Herman Hoch says: "On a clear day you can see..." Charles Knowlton who used to pick up five dollars every Sunday keeping score on the ANAHEIM ball games for the GAZETTE at the turn of the century is an amateur weather expert. He has the answer for small oranges. Merril Royer keeps tab on the weather, too. He lives in ANAHEIM on Fullerton property. Does that mean he checks Fullerton weather in ANAHEIM, or ANAHEIM weather in Fullerton for Uncle Sam. Anyway, Royer received a 25-year-award for good and faithful service. That reminds one that Max Royer, the mayor of Orangethorpe, is a pretty diplomatic chap. The personable hombre does business in both cities and can't afford to get muddled up in inter-city politics. Incidentally, do you know that Orangethorpe actually was incorporated as a city at one time and was later unincorporated? Ben Hammerschmidt is making hay in Riverside county—literally. He is an alphalfa farmer...

Tan and hardy Scotsmen and young warriors from the London area disembarked from the aircraft carrier Unicorn and the cruiser Ceylon to the cheers of South Koreans and Americans. They were cheerful, these men from Britain who were brought on their station at Hong Kong. Sgt. Ian Bell of Palsly, Scotland said: "The lads feel we should have been here sooner."

A spokesman for the British said these troops had been training for a year in terrain similar to that of Korea. Korean War (Continued from Page 1) force of 1500—landed in the south. Near the center of the line another 20,000-man red force attacked South Korean infantrymen 18 miles north of Taegu, the rail hub. Taegu and Pusan, principal U.N. seaport at the southeastern tip of the Korean peninsula, are the main North Korean objectives in the southeast. Pusan Chance Lost An official spokesman said the communists had lost all chance of seizing Pusan in a quick end-run thrust. American troops approached the main area of battle around Pohang. But they had not gone into the battle. U. S. artillery ringed $268; topographic engineer, $481; morbidity research project supervisor, $556. the airfield six miles southeast of Pohang and supported hard pressed South Koreans. The Pohang sector battle was developing into a see-saw action. While one force of reds was pushing southward another was forced back by the South Korean Capitol Division. It moved north more than a mile and retook Kigye. Kigye itself is not important, but the complex of roads around it leads west to Taegu, which draws much of its supplies through Pohang port. A U. S. 8th Army communique said the reds controlled the hills around Kigye and had blocked one highway southwest of Pohang. A spokesman for General MacArthur warned that the east coast area still offers the possibility for a major breach in the United Nations wall, which 40,000 to 60,000 reds have been probing for a soft spot for days.
