MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Omnivorous Advertising Manager A letter... Last Friday the Associated Press reported a story which is so emotionally and beautifully expressive of the fighting aims of the free man in Korea, that it must be printed by the Anaheim Gazette. Since our paper was so full of other stories last Friday we did not have room to print the Associated Press story in full. But, we believe you should see it. Here it is: COLLINGDALE, Pa., Sept. 15 (AP)—A young soldier in Korea took a piece of notepaper from his helmet and wrote a letter to his two small daughters back home. That letter was delivered yesterday to the home of six-year-old Rose Marie McCormick and her sister, Joan, three. Three days ago, their mother was notified that Pfc John J. McCormick 26, paratrooper veteran there are a lot of bad men in the world, and if they were allowed to do what they wanted to do, little girls like you wouldn't be allowed to go to church on Sunday or be able to go to the school you wanted to. "So I have to help fight these men and keep them from coming where you and Mummie live. It might take a long while, and maybe daddy will have to go and help God up in heaven, and if I do, I always want you both to be good for Mummie, because she is the best Mummie in the whole wide world. "She has always taken care of you while I have been away. You see, kids, I happened to be caught in two wars inside 10 years, and the reason I am where I am today is because I am fighting for what I think is right." COLLINGDALE, Pa., Sept. 15 (AP)—A young soldier in Korea took a piece of notepaper from his helmet and wrote a letter to his two small daughters back home. That leiter was delivered yesterday to the home of six-year-old Rose Marie McCormick and her sister, Joan, three. Three days ago, their mother was notified that Pfc John J. McCormick, 28, paratrooper veteran of World War II and infantryman in Korea, had been killed in action. This is what Private McCormick wrote to "Dear Joannie and Rose Marie:" "This is daddy. I want you to listen and pay attention while Mommie reads this to you. Just try and make believe I was there, talking to you." "Joannie, I don't think you'll remember me because you were a little baby when I had to go away, but I used to sit and hold you a lot, and when you were a bad little girl, I used to make you sit in a chair until you were good, but I always loved you a lot and I was very proud of you. "Rose Marie, you should remember me because I used to take you out with me a lot, and I used to buy you a lot of candy and sodas, and I used to feel so good when people used to say you had eyes like mine. Remember the little puppy I bought you? Your Mummy used to tie a little pink ribbon around its neck and you used to carry it in your arms. You looked awfully cute. "I want you both to know that I'd be with you if I could, but might take a long while, and maybe daddy will have to go and help God up in heaven, and if I do, I always want you both to be good for Mummie, because she is the best Mummie in the whole wide world. "She has always taken care of you while I have been away. You see, kids, I happened to be caught in two wars inside 10 years, and the reason I am where I am today is because I am fighting for what I think is right. "That's one thing. I always want both of you to remember. If your conscience tells you something is right, always stand up for it. You might be ridiculed for doing so, but in the long run you'll always find out that people respect you more for doing so. "When you grow up to be young ladies, don't ever forget all that Mummie has done for you. She has often gone without clothes for herself so that both of you could have nice things. I want you to do as she says; go to church on Sundays and you can always pray for daddy. "So remember, kids, when you grow up, save this letter in case I'm not there to talk to you, and try and remember all I am saying, for it's for your good, and because I love you and Mummie so much. "I'll be in a hole, fighting, in a few days, in a place called Korea, so I'm sending you all the love that's in my heart on this sheet of paper. I carry your picture, and Mummie's next to my heart, and if I have to go help God, you'll know that the last thought I had on this earth was for the two of you and Mommie. All my love and kisses. Be good and God bless you. Daddy."" IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

Burrows, 30 years of age, for two years head of the botany and biology departments of the Anaheim high school. He was returning to his home when a cold, which settled on his lungs rapidly developed pneumonia. He was rushed to a hospital in San Luis Obispo but frantic efforts to save his life were of no avail. Mr. Burrows was married in June to Miss Eunice Miller, a teacher in the Whittier high schools. His parents live in Detroit. He was a graduate of the University of Arizona. Principal J. A. Clayes has announced the appointment of Paul Demaree of Pasadena to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Burrows death. Mr. Demaree was taking special work at the University of Southern California when called to the Anaheim professorship. Fire badly damaged the YMCA building on South Philadelphia st. Saturday afternoon. The fire originated in a shed belonging to Mr. Heinrich and speedily communicated with the "Y" structure. All the motion picture paraphernalia used by the society was destroyed. The interior of the building was badly damaged but the outer walls were not destroyed. The loss is estimated at $2000. Senator Morse accepted. Before leaving, he took the time to ask the Library of Congress to check on the late S. Baker, and found that although he had been killed at Ball's Bluff his body had been carried to San Francisco and he buried there. Driving down to Leeds therefore, Senator Morse President Truman that he afraid General Marshall was taken about Senator Baker buried at Leesburg. The president's reaction most interesting. "Poor General Marshall," he "We mustn't hurt his feet You leave this to me." After lunch, as Marshal cursed the party to the neglected grave of Senator Baker Truman finally broke the tie that he wasn't buried there ter all. However, Marshall convinced, led them to the graveyard they found that the library of Congress was re-The marker stated that Co Baker was "killed here, Oct 1861." There was no indication that he was buried there.

Roberts, Jr. AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Many experts, including General Douglas MacArthur, have predicted for years that the American conflict with Russia would come to a head in the present day, with Europe at least temporarily quiet, that prediction news signs of coming true. General MacArthur predicted a Korean clash in 1945, although expected it to be a direct conflict with Russia. That is still a possibility, despite American efforts to localize the Korean war. Russia will do, herself or though the use of communist China, if the North Koreans begin take a beating, is still problematic. In the meantime, there is a stir throughout Asia. The Chinese communists have massed large forces north of Korea either for political or interventionist purposes. They threaten to invade Formosa despite President Truman's orders to the 7th Fleet to protect that Nationalist-held island. They are doing the same thing for Vietminh forces north of Indo-China that Yugoslavia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Albania did for the Greek guerrillas. They are harrasing British shipping and other activities around Hong Kong. Moscow-directed communists in the Philippines, Indo-China, Burma, India, Malaya—throughout the east—have quickened their subversive efforts, raiding, murdering and pillaging, or just trying to stir up trouble in general. American B-29's from Okinawa have carried the war into enemy territory, bombing North Korean cities which contain war industries, and striking heavily at Chongjin, which Russia uses as a base for some of her submarines which are operating in American sealanes. American fliers have shot down a Russian plane over an allied naval group, and the Russians claim American planes have carried their strafing across into Manchuria. Russia has been replying ships at Vladivostok. MacArthur is accusing planning to use an anese police force in aggression" in the Orkney. The Chinese Red Army about Tibet, either take it through submarine force. British troops have action against the R.Siam and others and troops for the line. The big crisis betrayed the U.S. will conquer Kremlin is forced to do, if anything, in an impending North lapse. WASHINGTON—The close personal friendship existing between President Truman and General George Marshall — amounting almost to hero-worship — was illustrated by an incident at Leesburg, some time ago when General Marshall notified the president that a former U.S. Senator, killed in the Civil War, was inappropriately buried near Marshall's cemetery. The late Senator was Colward D. Baker of Oregon. General Marshall informed his president that only a measured stone, overgrown with vegetation, marked his grave. The president, who was in front touch with General Marshall even during his retirement, phoned Sen. Wayne Morse,agon Republicand, suggested since Colonel Baker was from Leesburg they both go to Leesburg. long trip for nothing. But they told him they were delighted at the excuse to get away from Washington. Under the FBI's Nose It takes a brazen thief to steal right under the nose of the FBI. However, one was caught the other day pilfering nickels from a news vendor's box at the entrance of the FBI's offices. The thief was caught when the FBI dyed nickels in the change box a wet green, and hid two FBI clerks in the ventilator shaft near the newspaper stand. After a short wait, the hidden clerks heard stealthy footsteps coming down the corridor, then the jingle of change taken from the newspaper box. All they could see from the ventilator shaft, however, was a pair of dark blue pants. So, crawling from their hiding place they ordered all the blue-uniformed guards to report for inspection. One guard was missing. They found him in the lavatory washing room from his bed. for soluble solids. A grower in California cannot raise the fruit for less. Anytime his "hired help" offers to take less than that figure then they are selling the grower "down the river." That might be some more treason but we still believe it. It is common knowledge that the juice fruit market is dominated by the Exchange. They control a great majority of the fruit and anyone who knows will tell you they also set the price. This year, as in other years, the price of juice was set pitifully (for the grower) low. Whether this was done deliberately to make the low fresh fruit prices seem better to the grower is anybody's guess. With the "news release" announcing the $5 a ton increase of juice fruit the Exchange also lauded in some of their "medicine" that has always, in the past, been so good for growers. This stuff has served in lieu of money for so long that they can't get out thing like that. We many cases he had tuned the different account wanted to get an idea many tons of fruit seed would "reflect" any grower's pocket and would only be "salvage." To date we have not Mr. Finley.

If more would yell good and would make these realize we are back when they get "top our fruit but that we to U-NO when the "baloney" instead of More about Prizer later. If you see Finley to write us that answer—the gets us all addithe We are getting so m Colony Quips As was mentioned in a news story the other day the price of juice fruit has belatedly edged up a trifle. We use this language to describe the $5 a ton increase because the new price represents barely half the net return received by the Florida grower this year for comparable fruit. Exchange top management stated in a "news release" that "Because of the current strength of the general market, this increase is fully justified." This sort of statement reaches a new high in understatement. We simply can't understand this type of thinking. We couldn't understand Mr. Wilcox's "cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid or the lunch program deal or any other deal made by these people where the NET return to the grower falls below 50 cents a pound, on the tree, We received a letter the other day from Mr. Finley, manager of EOP, and he denied that Birds Eye had turned down any of his frozen concentrate. He also denied that the EOP had dumped any frozen concentrate. We replied to his letter immediately and as soon as he answers the questions we asked him we are going to publish the letters right here. We were very quiet and sedate with this Mr. Finley. That is our natural state. We did not ask him any impertinent questions. Nor did we ask him if any of his other accounts had turned any of his frozen concentrate down or any- What plant does not want is more money than products. If more would yell good and would make these realize we are back when they get "top off" our fruit but that we to U-NO when the "baloney" instead of more about Prizer later. If you see Finley to write us that answer—he gets us all additive. We are getting so much don't even tip our hat To our hired help, If You Can Learn to Write... ... You Can Learn to Draw The Gazette begins a series of seven illustrated art sketches which have been prepared for the young artist by Don May, designer and illustrator who has lived nationally for his fine art work. Mr. May lives in San Antonio and has his studio at 1011 W. Sycamore Avenue. These, which will be published in the Gazette during several few days, are taken from an illustrated talk on sketching with Mr. May gave to Anaheim Girl Scouts at Camp San Antonio, Mount Baldy. INTRODUCTION "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." That is from the Declaration of Interdependence. You learn that in school. Yes, all of us are equal. We are all born with the same five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. What then is this thing we call "talent?" Is there such a thing as talent for drawing (or music, or drama)? No, we are all are equal Talent is practice... hours of applying ourselves constructively. There is no "magic" short cut. You can learn to write, to play the piano—and to draw! There is, however, a partial gift that helps to make one individual's talent seem great and the other fellows' talent small. That is the gift of "feeling." Some people sing with their hearts; others play the piano with their hearts; and you draw with your heart. Your friend thanks you for your Christmas gift in so many words. Another friend, to whom you have given the same gift, thanks you and uses the same words—but that is the difference. One is done with the lips, the other with the heart. Do you remember the Bible story of the master who, before leaving home for a few weeks, gave to each of his servants five talents? One of the servants was afraid he might lose his talents so he buried them under a rock. Another servant invested his talents until he had seven. When the master returned he asked them how they had gotten along in his absence. The first servant replied that he still had his five talents hidden under a rock. The second answered that he (now) had seven talents. Remember what the master said to the second servant? "You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you master over many." But to the first servant, as he took his talents away, he said: "To them that hath shall be given, and to them that hath not, even what they hath shall be taken away." So, if you have "talent," use it Russia has been reported massing ships at Vladivostok. MacArthur is accused, falsely, of planning to use an increased Japanese police force in "American aggression" in the Orient. The Chinese Reds are talking about Tibet, either intending to take it through submission or by force. British troops have gone into action against the Reds. Turkey, Siam and others are preparing troops for the line. The big crisis between Russia and the U.S. will come when the Kremlin is forced to decide what to do, if anything, in the face of an impending North Korean collapse. thing like that. We asked how many cases he had turned out for the different accounts. We only wanted to get an idea about how many tons of fruit sent over there would "reflect" any moola in a grower's pocket and how many would only be "salvage." To date we have not heard from Mr. Finley. He would write to us often if we printed some more stuff about EOP. It might be fun. Seriously it makes not a tinkers uno to us if the EOP spoils a few gallons of brew. What plant does not? What we want is more money in the sales of products. If more growers would yell good and loud we would make these "freshmen" realize we are back of them when they get "top dollar" for our fruit but that we are ready to U-NO when they feed us "baloney" instead of "gelt." More about Prizer and Finley later. If you see Finley tell him to write us that answer too sweet—he gets us all adither. We are getting so mean that we There is, however, a partial gift that helps to make one individual's talent seem great and the other fellows talent small. That is the gift of "feeling." Some people sing with their hearts, others play the piano with their hearts, and you draw with your heart. Your friend thanks you for your Christmas gift in so many words. Another friend, to whom you have given the same gift, thanks you and uses the same words—but says it with tears in his voice. FROM OX TO LETTER 'A' ... If you can write, you can draw. The cave man drew pictures to tell his story. The letter "A" came from an ox's head. Through use and through time it turned into our small letter "a." So, we started with pictures. Then we went to symbols and then to letters. And, if we continue to watch television and forget to read good books, then writing may disappear and we all will have to draw again. WORK ASKED FOR REFUGEES TEL AVIV (AP)—The Israeli government wants work substituted for relief measures to help Arab war refugees in this country. The position was outlined here to Major-General Howard Kennedy, director of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, by Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett and other government leaders. Arab war refugees in Israel presently number 28,000. There are also 3000 Jews classed as refugees of the 1948-49 Palestine war. An Italian seer says the world will come to an end this year. But we've been disappointed so many times about this. What plant does not? What we want is more money in the sales of products. If more growers would yell good and loud we would make these "freshmen" realize we are back of them when they get "top dollar" for our fruit but that we are ready to U-NO when they feed us "baloney" instead of "gelt." More about Prizer and Finley later. If you see Finley tell him to write us that answer toot sweet—he gets us all adither. We are getting so mean that we don't even tip our hat any more. To our hired help, that is. BREAD MAKES BOOKMARK JOHNSON CITY (AP)—Do you use a piece of bread for a bookmark, or a comb or a pair of scissors? Maybe you don't but some people do, because these are among the things librarians at the Mayne Williams Library here have found in books. Other customers have used pencils, bobby pins, nail files, powder puffs, baby mittens and letters. There are lots of letters, especially those with "please remit" written on them. PEAR TREE IS 120 YEARS OLD JERSEYVILLE (AP)—A fruit tree which has stood here for 120 years is still producing pears. This season's yield was not as heavy as usual, however, because of cold spring weather. Ray Nevius, the owner, has nursed the tree through several bad spells. A few years ago he thought it was finished by a tornado which broke off its larger branches. He gave it a good pruning, and the tree parked up. The world is a pretty tough place in which to live, but perhaps it beats having no place at all to live in.
