ANAHEIM GAZETTEER by JOHN S. NEUBAUER ANAHEIM ITEMS — As long as there are square shooters like Betty Routh ANAHEIM will remain a veritable paradise in a troubled world... Lee Hanson, the ANAHEIM high school agriculture instructor, spent this summer getting additional information to pass on to ANAHEIM's Future Farmers... ANAHEIM's ex-British Army men include Francis Murphy formerly of His Majesty's Northumberland Fusiliers... And, that wee Scott, Alec Walker, who sells the good earth, might hae been, but he was too busy appreciatin' Bobby Burns. Alec is the foremost member of the Bobby Burns Society in Orange county, and about 15 years ago tried to have the WPA erect a shrine in the memory of the Scotch poet... The only flying saucers Robert H. Boney, the ANAHEIM city dad, knows anything are the manhole covers from the city's overtaxed sewers... Ilsa Vogt is a busy gal trying to learn English when all the ANAHEIMERS talk American. Her aunt, Emma Bouldin, has her difficulties too. She can't speak German any more. It's Pennsylvania Dutch. I give you gooden morgen, Herr. Did you see the cow what jumped the fence over, yet? 31 4-H Clubbers Represent County At Convention Orange county will be represted at the annual state 4-H club convention by 31 outstanding club members and leaders.

SHORT SPORT STORY—Herb Salveson, the well-known ANAHEIMER with a lot of citrus interest, is an avid baseball fan. He ought to be. His nephew, Jack Salveson, is having his greatest year with Fred Haney's Hollywood Stars. Herb tells a story about Jack, the late immortal John McGraw's last rookie find. Jack never got to play for McGraw, but he broke in under Bill Terry, the Giant wonder boy. Jack was just a raw rookie when Terry sent him in to pitch an exhibition against the Philadelphia Athletics who at that time were loaded with Foxx, Simmons and flock of other name players. Jack was nervous. He was throwing to baseball's headliners. When he pitched to Al Simmons, one of his pitches got away and dusted the American League slugger who naturally hit the dirt. While Simmons was dusting himself off, Jack ran down an apologized: "I'm sorry, Mister Simmons, that one got away." Bill Terry bounced out of the dugout and shouted: "What did you say?" Meekly, Jack replied, "I apologized to Mister Simmons. I was sorry I almost beaned him." Terry exploded: "What? You apologized?" "Yes, sir," the rookie stammered, "You see he's Mister Simmons." Terry used elemental language. "Don't Mister Simmons have to eat the same as you do?" "Yes, sir!" "Don't Mister Simmons dress the same as you do?" "Why, yes sir!" "Don't Mister Simmons have to sleep the same as you do?" "Yes, sir?" There were other questions, but the answers were all the same. Finally, Terry shouted: "He may be Al Simmons, but he's no better than you are. He's human, the same as you and I! Go out and pitch your game and I'll do the apologizing if it's necessary." That's a story with a moral—actually, we're all human beings. No one is any better than anyone else, even though some may possess greater ability than others. Red Cross Names Swim Certificate Recipients Anaheim Red Cross today released the complete list of summer swimming program participants who were awarded swimming certificates.

PROFILES—ANAHEIM is indeed fortunate to have such an outstanding clergyman as the Rev. Frank Butterworth in one of its leading church's pulpits: A minister has many duties to his congregation and community. Few men are as gifted as the Reverend Butterworth in fullfilling his obligations to ANAHEIM—his city. NITECAPS—Dick Gay of the firm of A. P. Giannini and associates is quite a golfer of note. He'd like to get a golf club and golf course for ANAHEIMERS and operated by ANAHEIMERS. Are ANAHEIMERS interested? Incidentally, no one with as big a handicap as that Stan Riley carts around can spank the golf ball at a more lively clip... With the compliments of the manager of the Orange Drive-In Theater, Placentia ave., and Highway 101, the GAZETTEER is sending a couple of passes to Robert D. Routh of ANAHEIM... And while we're at it, we might mail a couple of passes to Victor Zuniga just because he's the last ANAHEIMER listed in the phone book. REMEMBER — Everyone drives a used car. Take care of yours, drive carefully and you won't be driving a wreck. Demand Great for County Homes Days Local Builder Orange county's reputation for obvious living has been broad throughout the armed forces, ordering to Henry C. Cox, president of Lifetime Homes, Inc. The sales department of the developers report that newly assigned men to the area, and those subjected to overseas service, express a desire for a permanent Orange county home. The national reputation of the county in offering parklike home sites, exceptional schools and friendly atmosphere, nearby beach and mountain resorts . . . and the natural geographical boundary of desert, mountain and sea, creates a feeling of investment stability and home-security for service men and others with a family left "at home." Reports from all builders indicate that incoming service personnel are taking advantage of the last few no-down-payment homes for veterans. Non-service families are also buying to protect living facilities against what may easily develop into a housing shortage if war industries are ordered into full production. From its derivation, the word "classic" means first class.

Compounding his challenge after a $65 telephone call from Detroit to his father's business partner here, Hercules was quoted in dispatches as doubting his sister had married her kidnaper. "This cannot be," he said. "Once in a while there are kidnapings among peasants. But it is a disgrace to have it happen to a family like mine. "Behind my father stand many loyal fighters and the liberals, the biggest party. I do not want civil war. But I do not want this Constantine as a brother-in-law.
