Last week the Anaheim Gazette passed out the congratulations to several folks who have been active in building up the recreation program for Anaheim's kids. A few days earlier the Elks band led a group of marching soldiers into the Anaheim City park—an event which pointed up Anaheim's woeful lack of regular performances by a good ol' band. Both of these things tie-in to the Anaheim City park. Both take money. Over the past week-end holiday, the park was jammed with folks from all over—people from neighboring communities north, east, south, and west. Taking care of the park so that all these folks may enjoy it also costs money—Anaheim money. So far, so good. Now, about the money business...that they are a bountiful source of money for the city? Of course, it all has to be controlled by the city so that there is no flagrant salesmanship, no litter, and so that all salesmen, carts, booths, etc., are inspected by city sanitation experts. At first blush you might cringe at the idea. But, what's wrong with it? Biggest and best argument for the deal is that through money derived from the sale of these commodities the city would be enabling the out-of-towners to pay a share in the upkeep of the park. Thus, the full burden doesn't fall on Anaheim. Also the increased revenue could be used to pay for bigger and better recreational programs—and it's possible the city might Both of these things tie-in to the Anaheim City park. Both take money.

Did you ever notice you can not buy an ice cream cone, a hot dawg, a candy bar, a sack of popcorn, a "coke" in the City park? Did you ever consider that these things can be sold in a park under a concession controlled by the city, that they are a real convenience to the folks who use the park (particularly the out-of-towners), that they can be "policed" to keep the park clean, and Biggest and best argument for the deal is that through money derived from the sale of these commodities the city would be enabling the out-of-towners to pay a share in the upkeep of the park. Thus, the full burden doesn't fall on Anaheim. Also the increased revenue could be used to pay for bigger and better recreational programs—and, it's possible the city might see its way a little clearer toward providing the where-with-all for park band concerts. Other cities with similar park facilities have made a good thing out of park concessions. A good thing for the persons served by the concessions and a good thing for the public which has had to foot the bills for the park upkeep. It is a matter worthy of considerable exploration by the city dads. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Mrs. W. M. Higgins and Mrs. P. C. McKinnie will visit Los Angeles today for the purpose of collecting funds to liquidate the indebtedness still remaining on the Presbyterian church. We hope the citizens of our neighboring city will donate liberally. We saw the plans yesterday of a house to be built immediately on the Heiman and Sorenson vineyard for Peter Richards, Esq. The house will be very tasty and convenient. D. G. Sorenson has obtained the contract to build it. A half yearly report of the Episcopal mission in Anaheim will be read at the close of the service on next Sunday morning. Members of the congregation and all persons interested in the services are cordially invited to be present. In the case of J. Vahle, now on trial for the murder of his wife at Ballona, there are six Anaheimers on the jury, viz: J. M. Gibson, John Bush, H. Watson, J. P. Zeyn and Lum Smith. H. Fleischman of Los Angeles is in town today. He is perfecting station on the trip of 400 miles. However upon his return home he sent for his son, Dr. Horace Howard, an experienced osteopath who immediately discovered the dislocation and has been able to restore his father to his usual good health. The judge will be around again in a day or two. Stewart Gates left Tuesday morning for South Bend, Ind., where he will enter Notre Dame university. We expect to see him distinguish himself not only in the classrooms, but on the athletic field. Oscar Renner and E. A. Braunlich of the S.Q.R. store are attending the market week sales at San Francisco this week and will purchase a fall stock for the big department store.

Owen Brewster of Maine and Ed Martin of Pennsylvania. Freshman Study However, two upstart freshmen, senators Paul Douglas of Illinois and Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, decided to make a thorough study of taxes on their own. They killed in the best tax experts in Washington, both from the Treasury Department and private practice. Together, they went over the senate's tax bill with a fine-tooth comb, and exposed 12 glaring loopholes. Here they are: 1. Dividend withholding—Each year stockholders fail to report their income tax returns one million dollars in dividends. This presents a loss to Uncle Sam $160 to $170 million tax dollars. State-earners have their taxes withheld from their salaries, yet the taxes on dividends are not withheld. 2. Family partnerships — The senate bill allows businessmen to take fictitious "partners" of their lives, children and other relatives in order to evade taxes. This practice was stopped by the Supreme Court after babies were listed as full-fledged "business partners." However, the present Senate bill now reverses the Supreme Court decisions retroactively to 1938. 3. Life insurance companies actually didn't pay a penny income tax for 1947, 1948, and 1949—all a result of a technical error in the Revenue act. The House adopted a provision to collect 50 million dollars of these back taxes, but believe it or not the friends of big business on the Senate Finance committee have now struck out this provision. 4. Percentage depletion — The senate bill does nothing to limit the excessive depletion allowances for oil, gas and other minerals which President Truman has debased as the worst loophole in tax laws. This windfall costs the government 400 million dollars year. corporations can now write off the entire cost in five years. This accelerated depreciation was probably the greatest source of excessive profits during World War II, yet the Finance committee voted not to recover these excess profits. 9. Property sales—Another tax loophole, which costs the government about 70 million dollars a year, is a special provision favoring the taxpayer who sells business property. If the sale results in a profit, it is taxed as a capital gain. If it results in a loss, it is allowed a full deduction. 10. Foreign subsidiaries — The Senate bill allows domestic corporations to liquidate subsidiaries overseas (such as oil companies) and bring back tax-free profits that have never passed through the federal income tax stream. 11. Holding period — Under existing law, a capital gain is taxable at a maximum 25 per cent if the asset is held over six months. However, the Senate has reduced this to a scant three months in order to benefit Wall street speculators. They will now be able to convert speculating profits into capital gains in only 20 days, despite the fact that few people consider a 90-day investment to be anything but pure speculation. 12. Tax free redemption — The Senate bill also contains an extremely generous provision whereby corporation owners could draw down accumulated earnings and profits free of income tax to the extent used to pay estate and inheritance taxes. NOTE—It is significant that two of the Senators who fought hardest for these loopholes were millionaires Bob Kerr of Oklahoma and Eugene Millikin of Colorado. Colony Quips so the grower gets money enough to stay in business. Good fresh fruit, if handled right, will bring the grower good money. Good frozen concentrate, if handled right, will bring the grower good money. Two elements are essential: Quality and management. This column has found fault with some of our large shippers. But you will notice that it all boils down to management and quality. We believe that it is our right to believe that the management of our big co-op is inept, inefficient and has not done a good job for the Valencia grower, if we honestly think so. If we think so then it is our duty to say so. When Mr. Wilcox will prove to us that his "cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid is a good one for the California citrus industry or even for Exchange growers we will buy him a new hat. We would like to know how many cases or gallons of frozen concentrate have been sold and delivered to Minute Maid during the entire month of August. Or is that too much to ask? Bet you we even get ignored on that one. If it looks too bad we will not print the figure. We are not trying to embarass anyone. But we surely expect them to try. To try what? To get money back to their growers. Homemakers Forum (Continued from Page 3) that the meringue extends to the crust all the way around.

Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific have decided to meet truck competition and ask for lower rates. So here we are again with Texas in the picture and on top of that a rate differential of 55 cents a box against us right off the bat. How can we keep on fighting among ourselves and make the grower any money? How can we sell Minute Maid "cheaper fruit" and expect the grower to live through it? This all sounds like we have heard the same stuff before. About the same thing has been said before in this column and it will be said again. We are only concerned about the grower. This freight rate reduction which Texas is to get will simply add more headaches to the California operation. We should be able to put up a united front for relief. We could put more oranges per car by making frozen concentrate for eastern consumption. We will do that—eventually. But we don't care how the crop moves east just that the meringue extends to the crust all the way around. This contact with the crust keeps the meringue from shrinking away from the edges. After the meringue has been spread evenly, put the pie into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven door in the meantime. Now—at the end of 15 minutes—turn off the oven and open the oven door. The meringue should be lightly browned. (If it is either too light or too dark, better call a service man to have a look at your stove. Your oven regulator is not working properly.) Leave the pie right where it is in the oven and allow it to cool for a half hour with the oven door open and the fuel turned off. This gives the meringue a chance to cool very slowly. At the end of a half hour, remove the pie from the oven and set in a cool place away from drafts. When you are ready to cut the pie, dip the knife first in warm water to prevent the meringue sticking to the blade. Slow Down at Sun Down Says Highway Patrol SACRAMENTO—"You bet your life when you fail to slow down at sundown," the California Highway Patrol warned motorists today. Pointing out that night driving is more than three times as dangerous as daylight motoring, the Patrol admonished drivers to regulate their speed with safety and common sense. "Don't over-ride your headlamps," the Patrol urged. "Be sure you can stop within the distance you can see ahead—and that is shorter than you think." We have to," said Lt.

Hal Boyle By HAL BOYLE POHANG AIRSTRIP, Korea (AP) —There are few things in the world more lonely than abandoned air field. The silence rushes in when the roar of engines can be heard no more and the whistle of departing wings has died away. The long runway along which planes lifted and landed on busy missions becomes a rusty metal skeleton, and sparrows again claim the peaceful yellow dust for feather baths. Returning the other day to this airstrip was like going back to a home you once had lived in, and finding it bare, haunted by mice and old memories, and guarded by a strange policeman at the door. It had changed that much. But less than three weeks ago this was the busiest fighter base in South Korea, and the nearest to the front. The boys nicknamed it "the Cleveland municipal airport." From dawn to dusk ground crews sweated and strained under a steaming midsummed sun to tune the planes and load them with bombs and rockets. And sometimes bright, talented young pilots, clad in shabby and torn flying dungarees they kept on wearing "for good luck," flew as many as three sky cavalry charges against the enemy in a single day. At evening they watched the sun sink in red splendor beyond the western hills and turn massed clouds into great chariots of blue and gold and a strange soft yellow that fired them with both courses meeting concurrently, and should be particularly attractive to teachers because of the hurdle requirement. The program will be completed before the Christmas holiday, running from September 25 through December 11. The course also should be attractive to the general public because of the high caliber personnel brought to Fullerton to discuss the most important aspect of our life — our health. It is hoped that a large enrollment will take advantage of this marvelous opportunity. Family Health Courses Slated for Fullerton Wilshire Auditorium The Extension Division of the University of California, in cooperation with the State Dental Association will present two courses at Fullerton's Wilshire Auditorium beginning Monday, September 25, 1950, and continuing each successive Monday until December 11. The courses are "Fundamentals of Total Health, X 301AB," and concurrently "Fundamentals of Total Health for Family Living, 877." "Fundamentals of Total Health, X 301 AB" will carry two units of university credit and may be used by teachers to achieve hurdle requirements. This course meets from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., and will cost $9.00 per unit or $18.00 for the entire course. The "Fundamentals of Total Health for Family Living, 877" is designed for general public and will meet from 7:00 to 8:15 p.m. It will carry a fee of $4.50 for the entire series of lectures, but will not carry any university credit that may be applied for hurdle requirement. These courses are brought to Fullerton by four outstanding men in the field of medicine and nutrition. Dr. Michael J. Walsh, nationally known biochemist, will discuss the functions of the essential nutrients and will bring important information regarding proper diets for children and for adults engaged in various types of work. Dr. Douglas Campbell, a well-known psychiatrist, will discuss the functioning of the human nervous system. Dr. Joseph Risser, physician and surgeon, will lecture on the functioning of the muscular and skeletal structures of the body. Dr. Hermann Becks, who is an M.D., as well as a Doctor of Dental Surgery... At evening they watched the sun sink in red splendor beyond the western hills and turn massive clouds into great chariots of blue and gold and a strange soft yellow that fired them with a sense of mystery. Behind them the sea darkened into black. A cooling breeze sprang up and dried their sweat. And it was a good night indeed if, before they yawned themselves to sleep on cots in their tents, they could share a few cans of beer ferried over from Japan by a friendly transport pilot. But this serenity vanished when the enemy they had been attacking by air suddenly began to attack their base from the ground. The reds seized Pohang only six miles away. The airmen flew their missions by day and then grabbed carbines and guarded the field at night until infantry could be rushed up to protect it. But the enemy got within artillery range and shells began to drop around the airstrip. To keep from losing their planes the pilots had to gas them up and then fly to another field farther behind the lines. The ground crews took down the tents and loaded them on boats and sailed away. And they took with them the American flag that had flown proudly from a hill near the runway. That was on August 13. Since then the reds have been tossed out of Pohang. They have tried again to take the city and been repulsed. A strong force of American Negro doughboys and white artillerymen have held the airbase all the while but the enemy is still too near for it to resume combat operations. A few transport planes do land there to bring supplies. I rode up with one this week. Only one other plane was parked by the runway from which dozens of fighters used to swarm up daily. A long jeep wheeled over carrying two anti-aircraft officers—Lt. Wilbert Harrison, Pittsburgh, Pa., and Lt. William Sallery of Springfield, S.C. They meet each plane as small towners a generation ago went down to see the trains come in. We have to," said Lt Sallery. "We haven't been eating too well here and our headquarters 'FREEDOM WEEK' SACRAMENTO (AP) — Californians were urged by Governor Warren to get behind the "Crusade for Freedom" to help fight communism. Warren, honorary state chairman of the newly formed anti-communist movement, made the appeal in a proclamation setting aside September 4th to 10th as "Crusade for Freedom Week." They meet each plane as small towners a generation ago went down to see the trains come in. We have to," said Lt Sallery. "We haven't been eating too well here and our headquarters in Japan has been flying us in fresh vehetables. If we aren't here when the plane lands someone else gets them." They drove us over to the infantry command post and an officer said: "Our men go out and comb the hills every morning. We find one or two now and then—but it has been pretty quiet." It was quiet, too, as we drove back along the empty, rutted road to our plane. I felt homesick as we passed the deserted spot where the operations tent had stood. In the silence I could hear the past laughter of pilots eagerly telling what they had seen and done on their missions. "We are fixing up a place to live in," said Lt Harrison. "We are going to call it 'rocket house' because we are building it out of the wooden boxes they ship rockets in. Everybody's been chasing lumber. We can't leave now. We got a huge investment here." He was joking. But as our plane took off and circled the rusting runway, the lonesome grass bleached tops where the tents had stood. I knew that this haunted airfield would come to life. And an American flag flying from the hilltop will again banner young Tilers to home and rest.
