MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Orange county battle line ... About 500 Gazette readers saw (before we corrected it) by the paper Friday that the proposed Magnolia Trunk sewer would wend its course in a southerly manner from just about Taegu on the north, down along the Naktong river through Changyong and Yongsan to Pingpong and Singsong, near the Orange county line. What happened was the Gazette inadvertently put Magnolia sewer caption lines under a very good map of southern Korea. And, just about all those 500 readers who received those "collector's items" have called us up to tell us about it. Here are some of the comments these folks made: 000 people in this area. The population now numbers some 200,000 people. To say nothing of the industrial expansion which has multiplied the sewage load immensely in the past few years. And you see each day by the papers that more people and more industries are locating here constantly. It all adds up to one thing for sure. The bond issue must be passed on September 18. If not, maybe people will find themselves better off in South Korea than in a sewage ridden Orange county. As for the Korean issue, the best home folks can do is to study the situation as closely as possible. WASHINGTON—A significant intelligence report on China's negotiations with Russia on vital question of coming into staying out of the Korean war has just been received in Washington. Obviously it is impossible know how accurate these reports are regarding such important issues as Molotov and Mao or Tung. However, here is what they are supposed to have talked about in their recent Peiping meeting. Molotov, who is Stalin's East manager, was unable to budge Mao, China's communist boss, on the Korean war. Mr. reported to have refused permission to intervene in the Korean war or to set a date for the invasion of Formosa, or to assist British Hong Kong or Portugal Macao. Finally, after much wrangling, a 5-point program was agreed. 1. Russia will outfit 15 Chinese divisions, or a total of about 1000 men. 2. Mao will send limited troops as "volunteers" to Korea nowhere near the 38th Parallel. 3. China will patrol the Marian-Korean border. 4. Molotov and Mao will again this month to reach agreement on the invasion of Formosa. All summer the Russians have been demanding the munists make an amphibious attack on Formosa, but Mao has been putting them off week after week. This was one reason President Truman cracked Naktong river through Changyong and Yongsan to Pingpong and Singsong, near the Orange county line. What happened was the Gazette inadvertently put Magnolia sewer caption lines under a very good map of southern Korea. And, just about all those 500 readers who received those "collector's items" have called us up to tell us about it. Here are some of the comments these folks made: 1. The Orange county sewer problem is REALLY getting out of hand these days. 2. U.N. troops have more than just Russian-inspired North Koreans to contend with in South Korea. 3. The Navy probably shot down a flying sewer manhole cover last week and not a plane as the Russians claimed. 4. The North Korean troops are massing heavy armored forces complete with gas masks on Ellis ave., west of the Cannery blvd., juncture for an all-drive on the disposal plant. 5. Orange county sewer money will be sent to clean up the mess in Korea. 6. If the voters so desire on September 18, a $3.5 million bond issue will relieve the pressure on the U.N. South Korea supply line. Darnit, you folks can crack all you want about our mistakes. Because, when you do, it proves you read our paper pretty thoroughly. And, it shows you are anxious for us to turn out a good product. Of course, we are grateful for your keen interest in us. The blunder serves, when you think about it, to upraise a pair of mighty vital issues. The TWO MOST VITAL ISSUES ARE AS FAR AS MOST LOCAL RESIDENTS ARE CONCERNED these days. First and closest to home, the sewer problem. You've seen lots of news stories about the dangers we face here in Orange county if added sewage facilities are not forthcoming, but quick! Lately you've seen several advertisements pointing up, more vividly, these dangers. Present sewer facilities were designed and installed 25 years ago to take care of a maximum of 80,- And you see each day by the papers that more people and more industries are locating here constantly. It all adds up to one thing for sure. The bond issue must be passed on September 18. If not, maybe people will find themselves better off in South Korea than in a sewage ridden Orange county. As for the Korean issue, the best home folks can do is to study the situation as closely as possible. Learn what is behind all the trouble over there. Then learn what is behind that. More complete knowledge of the situation facing us will bring about a quicker solution through more complete understanding of actions in the immediate future. A lot of civilians are going to find themselves in uniform before too long. Calling the National Guard was apparently just the first of many calls. A lot of people earning good money now will be giving more of it to the war effort, whether that effort be actual shooting or insurance against actual shooting in the form of a large standing armed force. A lot of people earning not-so-good money also will join the contributing list. People who know why they are making these sacrifices will be a lot more valuable and a lot more conducive to a favorable outcome of the situation than those who don't know why but who go along because they have to. The former will be of positive assistance; the latter of negative. And negative help always has and always will produce negative results. It behooves every man to find out what he is fighting so that he will be just that much better prepared when it comes to fighting it. The means of learning are close at hand. Journalism today is equipped to tell you what happens where at almost the instant it does happen. For perspective you can look to innumerable daily, weekly and monthly analyses. For background you have libraries full of books. Combine all these facilities and you're much more ready to cope with current situations. And it must be coped with, and successfully, if the "survival of the fittest" doctrine is to continue to swing in our favor. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 3. China will patrol the Marien-Korean border. 4. Molotov and Mao will again this month to reach agreement on the invasion of mosa. All summer the Russians have been demanding the munists make an amphibious attack on Formosa, but Mao been putting them off week after week. This was one reason President Truman cracked on MacArthur when he shot his uncleared statement on mosa. 5. Mao's government will re-equip Viet Minh forces in China for a new, all-out offer. NOTE—The above intelligence report is chiefly based on British information, the British had much better sources than we in the Orient. "Phonograph - Needle" Schoeppel The backstage decision to Senator Schoeppel of Kansas communist mud at Secretary of Interior Oscar Chapman made at a meeting of Republican Senators in the office of Sen Ken Wherry of Nebraska, recently played into the hands the racketeers by slicing the late crime probe appropriation one half. Wherry remarked that Chapwell was winning too many battles against the public utilities, Frank Bow, former axeman, the GOP Harness committee in Republican 80th Congress and aide to Schoeppel worked up mud-slinging attack for the actor. The fact that the speech ghostwritten was why Schoeppel asked for a delay of Secret Chapman's reply. For Bow, ghost writer was out of town in the Senator himself knew no about the facts in the case of a phonograph needle knows all the record it is playing. Though Schoeppel didn't preface the trade against Chapman was delighted to spearhead attack, because it dovetailed with the interests of his law firm in the big gas and oil company client it serves. Unlike conscientious Semen Brien McMahon of Connecticut Schoeppel did not divorce him from his law firm when he came to Washington. And the Marshall-Hubbell law directory Schoeppel as representing oil companies, two gas companies and 20 insurance companies, including Republic Natural Colorado Interstate Gas, Tex Sinclair, Phillips Petroleum, O and Lion Oil. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A committee of ladies from the Presbyterian church who visited Los Angeles for the purpose of raising funds to cancel the debt on the church were successful as the people of Los Angeles responded liberally by donating $200. Messrs. Fischer and Thatcher have also donated a clock to the church which will be put in position this week. There was a very pleasant gathering at the residence of Don Marcos Yorba last evening. Many Anaheim residents were present. Several prairie schooners passed through town today after loads of grain. By telegraph from San Francisco—It is not improbable that Bank of California will be opened soon. There are negotiations going on between the mint and Flood & O'Brien for purchases of the Consolidated Virginia mine for the next 30 days, which will insure a large supply of gold coin. The coinage of the mint for the month of August is the largest of any previous year. The Bank of Nevada, at Nevada, California, sustained a run on Friday and suspended. No run has occurred on Stockton banks.

"MA, HE'S GETTING BOLDER!" INFLATION OUR ECONOMY Colony Quips There are so many things pertinent to our citrus industry that we in California have been in complete ignorance about that it is just about impossible to get all angles into print. We have picked out a few to dwell upon and feel that some progress has been made—if only in getting some of our own thinking cleared up. We are going to give you some figures today that really tell a story. If you are open minded you will see in them a great future for the citrus business. But not in the way it is set up at the present time. We don't even like to mention things like this, but it is stupid to go about and not look things right in the face. We have been running a gold plated agency to sell and handle our citrus fruit. They in turn have been selling to a hard-rock group of merchandisers who are in the business to make money. When things go well then everybody is happy. We travel down the accustomed, well marked lanes in the conduct of our business. We make rules as we go along and they work; because they are based on cause and effect. But many of our men, in all phases of the citrus business, have grown old for their job. They have become a bag of habits as far as the conduct of their occupation is concerned. Change comes slowly—if at all. This is no criticism of any one person or group. It is simply a statement of fact known to any first year student of psychology. But we must bring it to mind in order to understand its importance. with a higher prorate a couple of weeks ago and a great debate ensued in the OAC meeting. Mr. Wohlwend said at the time that the Exchange had sold 100 more cars than they had shipped the previous week and that the same thing was then being dpulicated. Another member rose to his feet and asked Comrade Wohlwend what price had been received for the fruit. That ended the debate. But the market is better now For which we are thankful. From what we hear on the inside (?)) there may be no carry-over of frozen concentrate in Florida. There may not be enough to go around. It seems that Uncle has or is developing a great fondness of the stuff and wants to buy a few million gallons. And there may not be enough of it to fill the first order. What fools these mortals be. Hal Boyle KOREA (AP)—Those who die in battle rarely leave mementoes. Infantrymen in particular must travel light. Every unnecessary ounce is a tax on their strength. And when they are killed and stretched in rows, there is little to tell them apart except the nature of the wounds through which their life drained out. The fixed look of death robs their features of their usual individuality. The dreams that marked their faces in life no longer stamp them. Was this closed eye once eager? Did this shut mouth often open in complaint—or only to say good things? There is no way to tell. They share an eternal languor that holds all their secrets. The dogtags to be placed upon their crosses in temporary cemeteries out more about them in It was that way with "Blond"—to give him name. He fell only a few days later I visited the found a captain friend some things in a cigar chatted a while and I had about run out of me. The captain picked up a from the small pile of before him, thumbed to a moment, then said: "He this. We found it on the we lost." I demurred but the case consisted so I took it. "You know, that strangely to be sent to the Quant Corps so they could send objected the company my dad myself," said the captain he began to wrap up the He showed me a recent view of the outfit's officers. The slender face of lieutenant—a handsome face topped by close blond hair—laughed off the photo. "He was a fine one," captain gently as he bdressing the cigar box. A lot of fun." That night at my bill a chance to inspect the man who had only half when he died. He must have been mad and philosophical as my laughter-loving. The bad carried neat charts of the army vehicles and number of lashings needed en each on the ships that his battalion to Korea. The first few pages he hand-written ribald joke was perhaps because of his captain hadn't wanted to notebook home. They like conscientious Senator McMahon of Connecticut, appell did not divorce himself his law firm when he came Washington. And the Martin-Hubbell law directory lists appel as representing five companies, two gas companies, 20 insurance companies, in-ing Republic Natural Gas,ado Interstate Gas, Texaco,air, Phillips Petroleum, Gull,Lion Oil. The wonder Alf Landon once deed Schoeppel as the "errand of the utilities." No wonder that he was delighted to use senate floor to castigate the get member who had opposed law clients. It was delightful that is until tertiary Chapman came back this scathing reply. After that, senator decided that Congress Kansas farm are absolutely when it come to sticking finger in a buzz saw.

But many of our men, in all phases of the citrus business, have grown old in their job. They have become a bag of habits as far as the conduct of their occupation is concerned. Change comes slowly—if at all. This is no criticism of any one person or group. It is simply a statement of fact known to any first year student of psychology. But we must bring it to mind in order to at least make an attempt to climb out of a rut. And we all get into ruts. But we started out to say something about figures and got into ruts. So let's stay in the rut and handle the figures tomorrow. Our greatest rut in the California citrus business is the idea that fresh fruit is the only "kosher" thing we have to sell. That is easy to understand. Our whole industry is set up on that basis. Our first profitable handling of oranges was when we started to ship quality fruit to market. We did well and made money for the grower. We need not dwell on the story. There is only one thought that always must be kept in mind: the grower must be kept in business. This does not mean good money for poor fruit, neither does it mean poor money for good fruit. It means, to our way of thinking, at least 50 cents a pound for soluble solids, net on the tree, to the grower. The grower is not concerned now the result is accomplished—short of murder and treason. But he wants the job done. And a lot of growers are getting smart enough to stand up and be counted. As has come to us, and is common talk in the industry, many believe that if Ventura county had kept its off grades at home the market this summer would not have hovered close to red ink. Some in the industry refer to Ventura as the "holy of holies" and one can only guess why? But they wanted the crop "moved" The fixed look of death robs their features of their usual individuality. The dreams that marked their faces in life no longer stamp them. Was this closed eye once eager? Did this shut mouth often open in complaint—or only to say good things? There is no way to tell. They share an eternal languor that holds all their secrets. The dogtags to be placed upon their crosses in temporary cemeteries give only a few identifying facts—rank, name, army serial number, and religion. Ironically, the tags also list the type of blood they no longer use. But these bare statistics are poor clues indeed to the personalities of the voiceless dead. Their pockets tell more about them than does their clothing, their death-softerened faces or their dogtags. But it is surprising how little they tell. They usually hold a few sheets of crumpled paper, a stubby pencil, a comb and often a good luck charm or a religious medal or prayer book. In their wallets are small amounts of money, perhaps a treasured letter from home or an envelope containing a lock of child's hair and pictures of those the soldiers loved. As this army was long in Japan, many of the faces in the photos are those of Japanese girls. "I always feel a little sad when I open a wallet that has no photos in it," said a sergeant whose job is to catalog the personal belongings found on combat casualties. "I feel that soldier must have had an awful bare life—and no chance left to make it happier." He said he often wonder what manner of men those he burried had been. It is perhaps unfair to wish to invade their final privacy, but it is human when you see the battle dead to want to know more about them. Sometimes, later, you do find man who had only nailed when he died. He must have been manslaughter-loving.

The Olinda oilworker has to get something for the risk he has to take in getting the "durling little kitttens" with the potent defensive item. Billy Ross, the Santa Barbara pitcher, who began his baseball career at ANAHEIM's La Palma park is back home. A Navy specialist, he replied that he doesn't think they're interested in his category just yet. He's a printer. His brother, Bobby Ross, who was up with Washington for a look-see, finished with Chattanooga last night. Billy plans to work this summer; Bobby plans to go to Fresno State. Don Hedrick was the first of the local boys to return from the baseball wars. ANAHEIM's Harold (Skeets) Gregg is winding up the present campaign with Indianapolis.

Oscar is proud to be an ANAHEIMER and ANAHEIM is fortunate to have such men as he to serve its needs. MISTAKES—"You made a mistake when you said I was born in ANAHEIM," Joel Newkirk corrected the GAZETTEER."Weren't you?" he was asked. "No... who is?" ... Though the GAZETTEER stands corrected, it is a shame that there aren't any first-class maternity hospitals in ANAHEIM that ANAHEIM children might be born in ANAHEIM... ANAHEIM has almost everything else it needs to be a progressive, up-to-date city. With a man like Earnie Moeller in the driver's seat at the Chamber of Commerce ANAHEIM out more about them in odd ways. It was that way with "Lieutenant Blond"—to give him another name. He fell only a few days after his outfit went into battle. A few days later I visited the outfit and found a captain friend putting some things in a cigar box. He chatted a while and I mentioned I had about run out of notebooks. The captain picked up a notebook from the small pile of objects before him, thumbed through it a moment, then said: "Here. Take this. We found it on the lieutenant we lost." I demurred but the captain insisted so I took it. "You know, that stuff ought to be sent to the Quartermaster Corps so they could send it home," objected the company mail clerk. "He was my friend and I'm going to send his things on to his dad myself," said the captain. And he began to wrap up the cigar box. He showed me a recent picture of the outfit's officers. The slender face of the dead lieutenant—a handsome, boyish face topped by close-cropped blond hair—laughed out from the photo. "He was a fine one," said the captain gently as he began addressing the cigar box. "He was a lot of fun." That night at my billet I had a chance to inspect the notebook and learn more about the young man who had only half filled it when he died. He must have been meticulous and philosophical as well as laughter-loving. The back pages carried neat charts of the weight of army vehicles and the exact number of lashings needed to fasten each on the ships that carried his battalion to Korea. The first few pages had a few hand-written ribald jokes, and it was perhaps because of these the captain hadn't wanted to send the notebook home.

The first few pages had a few hand-written ribald jokes, and it was perhaps because of these the captain hadn't wanted to send the notebook home.
