MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Back to school days . . . Once again it is getting around to the time of the year when we must consider . . . School days. Of course, it is an important time for all Anaheim parents, but particularly for those with children approaching the age when they too will go off to school. Families with children three to six years of age would be interested in a pamphlet published by the Public Affairs Committee, 22 E. 38th st., New York City, called "Three to Six: Your Child Starts to School." It is written by Prof. James L. Hymes, Jr., of George Peabody college for teachers, Nashville. Dr. Hymes says most children three to six are ready for school. If junior has a good nursery school to attend, he is lucky indeed. his fears, and what he doesn't like to eat; his prides and joys and special peeves. And don't feel foolish about being so forward. Talking will make your youngster come alive for her. Going to school should be like going to a friend's house. Let junior visit his classroom ahead of time; meet his teacher in her setting. These make the start of school a more familiar step. When he first goes to school, junior may want you to stay in the group for a while. He may be glad to stay as long as you're there. Many youngsters today begin by going to school with their mother, mother stays, and the first days are very short—just an hour or two. But, warns Dr. Hymes, no sneak plays, please. Don't scoot Families with children three to six years of age would be interested in a pamphlet published by the Public Affairs Committee, 22 E. 38th st., New York City, called "Three to Six: Your Child Starts to School." It is written by Prof. James L. Hymes, Jr., of George Peabody college for teachers, Nashville. Dr. Hymes says most children three to six are ready for school. If junior has a good nursery school to attend, he is lucky indeed. "Of course," he points out, "some people may talk about you if you start your child in nursery school or even in kindergarten. 'She's just trying to dump her child... She wants to get rid of him... Only looking for a parking place...' Look them straight in the eye and smile, and don't give them a second thought." Junior, at three-to-six, he says, is ready to turn to a group. "He needs a room built for children. He needs the space and the chance to make noise. He needs friends to play with and all the materials that a good group can have. He needs the chance to branch out on his own. It is foolish to try to give youngsters who are ready for school everything they need, just by yourself. The wise parent knows when to call in the team." Starting school is the beginning of many big lifetime tasks, he says. Your child can get off to a flying start. And he will too... IF you boost him over some of the hurdles. IF you build your understanding of what a good school is like. IF you blend a hand to make your child's school the best." Here are a few of the answers Dr. Hymes gives to those "IFs!" Among the boosts, he suggests you meet your child's teacher before the start of school. "Then, when you are alone with her, talk!" Tell her his nickname, his enthusiasm, his hobbies, his pets; But, warns Dr. Hymes, no sneak plays, please. Don't scoot away from him before he is ready. This gives him a deserted feeling. He'll cling to you longer the next time. "One intermediate step is to leave for a short time. Tell him you'll be back soon. Walk around the block, do some quick shopping—but come back soon. This helps build up his confidence." Junior will get off to a happy start, he says, if you build an understanding of what a good school is like. You can give your support to the sound things your child's school does. You can help it improve. Understanding good education may sound like a tough assignment. You may think this is a technical business—too hard for you, something for professional educators. But don't sell yourself short. You've lived with junior. You've seen him act in fair and foul weather. You know what makes him tick and what cuts across his nature. You'll find you know more about education than you realize. You can spot many of the main items of a good school for young children and act accordingly. What kinds of play and materials the school follows; how patient it is; how well conducted; what opportunities for learning through play there are; how a child's interests are developed, all go to make for a good school. Finally, says Dr. Hymes, lend a hand at school. Join your PTA and work to improve your school. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

A lot of things have been going on which the public doesn't know about, all pointing toward more and more military rule. One was the quiet attempt by Secretary of Defense Johnson to keep Guam under the military when it was supposed to go under a civilian governor July 1. Another is the Navy's attempt "hold on to the Trust Islands" in the Pacific. Another has been general MacArthur's repeated attempts to dictate foreign policy. Another flagrant intervention of the military into foreign policy is when 11 generals secretly sent up to Congress and urged a 50,000,000 loan to Dictator Francko Spain—despite the fact that their commander-in-chief in the White House had ruled against such a loan. President Truman was icy cool with his Secretary of Defense Ben he heard of this. Unsmiling, turned to Louie Johnson in闭enet meeting and snapped; and I don't want any more trips you or your generals to Congress regarding a loan to Franco." Generals Want War The two public crackdowns are aimed directly at MacArthur, indirectly at Johnson through Secretary of the Navy. Actual Secretary Matthews is a sinister, idealistic, lovable person, the lay Catholic in the United States, and neither the State Department nor the White House intended to hit him personally. students with the idea of an immediate attack. All these matters have been reported to the White House from time to time; and as a result President Trump is determined that the original concept of military rule as laid down by the Founding Fathers shall be followed, namely that it is the military's job to win wars not declare them. Note 1—If the United States followed the advice of the generals in favor of an early war, it would appear—based on results in Korea—that the military are a long way from being prepared. Note 2—A group of farsighted Senators, led by Brien McMahon of Connecticut, have introduced a resolution calling for a disarmament conference to show the world that we would reduce armament if Russia would do the same. While they have no great illusions that Russia would reduce, they feel it important to keep this peaceful goal before the world. Capital News Capsules Lecture in London—U. S. Ambassador Douglas has bawled out the British for falking rearmament but doing nothing. Last week he told Foreign Minister Bevin in very plain English that the United States was shocked at failure to call Parliament back into session. The Ambassador also told Bevin that Britain's current plan for rearmament is completely inadequate; that whereas the United States is calling up thousands of men, Britain is merely marking time. Bevin's Last Conference—British Foreign Minister Bevin has cabled Secretary Acheson asking a full review of Anglo-American policies for the Far East when Bevin comes to New York next month. This will be Bevin's last major conference as Foreign Minister of Great Britain. Among other things he will try to persuade the United States not to have lost your usefulness to him and you have lost your usefulness to the American people. Remember that loyalty works both ways. And if your are loyal to Mr. Trump in the true sense, you will act in his interest, not your own." Colony Quips We have been saying a lot of things in this column which some of our readers like and some do not like. We are still able to say what we think and reserve the same right for all. The only exception being those ingrates who would like to overthrow our government by force. But the fact remains that very few growers are happy about what is going on marketwise this year. By all the laws of economics, size of crop, high employment figures, the nice market other fruits and melons are enjoying, the Valencia market should be at least fair. But how is it? Part of the trouble is the fact that much fruit has been shipped east which brought no grower return and some red ink. This is the fault of many growers themselves and many packinghouse men. But that does not relieve the men higher up. The top policy gang. They must get results. Just the same as a football coach or a baseball manager. No alibi, soft soap, or any other device can last very long if results are haywire. Growers are not that docile. We are close to a showdown of some sort. There is a quietness in many quarters that leads some to think there may be something big in the wind. But the "iron curtain" intervenes. We will not be told about anything the big... Generals Wunt War The two public crackdowns are aimed directly at MacArthur, indirectly at Johnson through Secretary of the Navy. Actual Secretary Matthews is a sincerely idealistic, lovable person, the lay Catholic in the United States, and neither the State Department nor the White House intended to hit him personally. However, the statement by a knet officer in favor of a preventive war, it was decided, and to be disavowed publicly, or it played directly into the ends of European propagators, already partly successful branding us as warmongers. Another reason for the crackdown was that General Orvil Anson, commander of the Air War College, at Maxwell Air Base, Ala., has been staged a series of lectures in which a preventive war is urged openly. One of the distinguished speakers at the college was Brig. Con. S. D. Busy, former commander at well, who, in an address before a civilian group in Montgomery, indicated that he favored immediate war with Russia; and life has been concrete evidence that U.S. general follows deliberate program at the Air College aimed to indoctrinate States is calling up thousands of men, Britain is merely marking time. Bevin's Last Conference—British Foreign Minister Bevin has cabled Secretary Acheson asking a full review of Anglo-American policies for the Far East when Bevin comes to New York next month. This will be Bevin's last major conference as Foreign Minister of Great Britain. Among other things he will try to persuade the United States not to become embroiled with Chiang Kai-Shek and the Kuomintang any further. The reason: communist China and the Kremlin are making tragic headway in calling this a war between the yellow races and the white race. Bevin fears we'll lose out all over Asia. Warning Nehru—U. S. Ambassador Loy Henderson has warned Prime Minister Nehru that he should call off his proposed trip to communist China. Peace-making efforts in Korea, our ambassador told the prime minister, should be left to the United Nations. If Nehru feels he wants to contribute, Henderson said, he should fly to Lake Success to head the Indian delegation... Meanwhile the Kremlin is secretly currying favor with Nehru by offering large quantities of wheat to India's starving millions. The State Department, on the other hand, hasn't been able to get Congress to permit us to ship agricultural surpluses to India. Loyalty Begins at Home—Hard-hitting Tony Tauriello, the Congressman from Buffalo, N.Y., has made a unique appeal to Louey Johnson to resign as Secretary of Defense. Tauriello puts it on the ground of loyalty... "The chief executive is loyal to his friends, loyal to his cabinet officers, sometimes loyal to a fault," the Congressman wrote Johnson direct. "You should resign because you But that does not relieve the men higher up. The top policy gang. They must get results. Just the same as a football coach or a baseball manager. No alibi, soft soap, or any other device can last very long if results are haywire. Growers are not that docile. We are close to a showdown of some sort. There is a quietness in many quarters that leads some to think there may be something big in the wind. But the "iron curtain" intervenes. We will not be told about anything the big boys think is good for us until they have all the "bugs" figured out—from their angle. But let us get back to brass tacks for a moment. Next year (the farmer's perennial dream), our Valencia crop will be back to full normal as concerns quantity and quality. In fact the crop might be a record smasher in size and quality. Then what are our "big boys" going to be able to do for us? Shall we give it away? Send it out to the river? Trade it to Uncle Joe Stalin for a couple of big tanks? Mr. Wilcox and his helpers in the higher reaches will have to do some sober thinking because all next summer long (as it is this summer, and there is no stopping after next summer) Florida will be in the market with heavy supplies when our California fruit should have the scene all to themselves. Florida this year will have its first 100 million box citrus crop. Is there weeping and walling down there? No, sir, ree, bob. They are making plans to sell the whole shebang. They have a new advertising agency hired and charged with getting MONEY in the grower's pocket—or else. The head of one of the larger organizations in the southern state is advising the growers belonging to his organization not to be hasty about selling their fruit.

Hal Boyle By DON WHITEHEAD (For Hal Boyle) WITH U. S. 27th REGIMENT, KOREA (P)—Combat is a cruel test of endurance, courage, and sanity which no man should be called on to endure more than once in his lifetime—and even that is too much. But many veterans of World War II are facing the test again in Korea. Most of them went into the last war as youths—fresh from high school or the college campus. Somewhere between Pearl Harbor and the end of the war they lost that youth. They were young-old men. When peace came they found they had learned a trade that had no market at home. The only employer who placed any value on ability to kill the enemy was the Army which had trained them. And so they stayed in the Army. These are the men who form the real backbone of the American Army fighting to hold off the North Korean reds until a Unit- House Dress 1922 14:44 This pretty house dress keeps you looking efficient while you work.

Size 16 requires 5½ yards of 39- When peace came they found they had learned a trade that had no market at home. The only employer who placed any value on ability to kill the enemy was the Army which had trained them. And so they stayed in the Army. These are the men who form the real backbone of the American Army fighting to hold off the North Korean reds until a United Nations powerhouse is assembled behind them. They hold the key spots in companies and battalions and regiments and divisions—these young-old men of World War II. As examples there are Capt. Earl W. Buchanan of Newport, Vt., and Maj. Harry K. Hauge of Lexington, Ky. Buchanan is a lean, thin-faced man who smiles quickly even when his face is drawn with weariness and his eyes are red from lack of sleep. He fought with the 45th Infantry Division in Sicily, through the rugged mountains of Italy and across Southern France—19 long months of combat. Then one day at Strasbourg on the Rhine a piece of shrapnel from a German tank shell slapped him on the head. He woke up to find himself a prisoner in a German aid station. The Germans took Buchanan into Russia to a prison camp and then into Poland. He escaped from prison just before storm troopers forced one group of Americans to make a winter march. It was a march of death for many of them too ill and weak to stand the hardships. But Buchanan escaped to the Russians and he made his way home through Odessa months after his capture. Harry Hauge is more ruggedly built than Buchanan. But in his face there is that same taut, drawn look of the fighting man. Before he took up the trade of the soldier, Hauge was known throughout the south as a halfback for the University of Kentucky football team. For three years—1938 to 1941—Hauge played in the Kentucky backfield on Saturday afternoons and lived the life of a big man on the campus. But in '41 be joined the Army and they sent him to Europe to fight with the 78th Division. After the war in Europe, Hauge believed like many of us that he had done all the fighting that was needed. He looked forward to a comfortable peacetime life, with the Army. This pretty house dress keeps you looking efficient while you work. It is very easy to put on with its backwrap closing.

He looked forward to a comfortable peacetime life with the Army. But Harry Hauge is fighting again. The day I saw him his battalion was in the "bowling alley"—the valley down which the reds were trying to fight their way to Taegu. There is nothing unusual about the story of Buchanan and Hauge. There are scores of others like them who are welding this army into a fighting machine. But it's the Buchanans and the Hauges who have given this army the hard inner core of experience which will mean the difference between victory and defeat. The young-old men of World War II are carrying a cruel burden—but they carry it well. Collegians Go (Continued from Page 7) department is the ever-growing popularity of sport shirts. In Eastern schools, they are usually fairly subdued plaids, checks, an occasional "square dance" item. In the South and West there is more variety, with greater emphasis on T-shirts and Hawaiian prints. In hose, the survey discovered, argylees and diamond patterned socks run way ahead of their nearest competitors, solid colored lisle. While handerchiefs are being seriously threatened by deep inroads of colored and patterned ones, except in Eastern schools, where the white hanky still reigns supreme.
