MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Dangerous Question... Yesterday the Anaheim Gazette editorial page had a picture of a GI standing before the 38 Parallel in Korea. Behind the Parallel was a line of ??? marks. The implication, of course, is that soon the United Nations will have to face the dangerous question of whether its forces shall cross the parallel and occupy North Korea—or stop at the line. One uses the expression "dangerous question" advisedly. Invasion of Northern Korea could produce an Asiatic upheaval. And with the major powers preoccupied in the Far East, there might easily be an explosion in Europe. The U.N. goal, of course, is not only to smash the red invasion of South Korea and restore peace, but to unite North and South Korea under one government, chosen by the people. So far as one can see now, that must call for watching developments. Other Chinese and Manchurian troops are available, and Russia has been feeding military equipment to the North Koreans. As for Russia, just as she has avoided becoming directly involved in the present Korean war, so she might be expected to pursue that policy if U.N. troops occupied Northern Korea. However, should red China go to the rescue of the Korean communists, with Moscow's blessings, it could produce a major upheaval in Asia. And why should Russia steer clear of entanglement? Well, for the very good reason that the European theatre is of much greater importance now than is the Far East. Moscow certainly would hesitate to commit vast strength to an Asiatic campaign while Europe is rapidly becoming a doxical fact that, while the environment has been cracking on war hoarders, the Agriculture Department has been breaking records for hoarding. Since Korea war, the Agriculture department has hidden away caves another 47,200,000 pounds cheese, 30,200,000 pounds of ter, and 16,700,000 pounds of eggs. This, remember, is all since Korean war started. Meanwhile food costs have been skyrocketing. Purpose of this government being supposed to stabilize prices. Yet the artificial shortage on top of the war crisis, created a crisis at the grocery store. As a result, not only the bows but the Army, too, is ing more for butter, eggs, cheese. What this means is that taxpayers are boosting prices that they themselves pay to feed the Army. Meanwhile total surplus food stocks climbed to 191,800,000 pounds butter; 110,595,296 pounds eggs; 106,100,000 pounds of chicken; 320,700,000 pounds of dried potatoes; 52,623,504 pounds of Mexican beans; and the almost unbelievable foothold of three billion pounds (3.500,000 of grain sorghum). Much of this stored food is likely to become moldy and rainy people are hungry from food in many lands. Note—The Agriculture Department also has 7,500,000 pounds rice in storage. This could much further than bullets to the peace in Korea. Fued Hits Children IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Wm. Crowther advertises that he is prepared to do all kinds of blacksmith work, wagon and carriage making at reasonable prices. Horse-shoeing is a specialty at his shop on Centre street, Anaheim. The drinking fountain erected by Lotta, at the junction of Kearney and Geary streets, San Francisco, is about completed. In the formal presentation to the city some members of the theatrical profession will represent Miss Crabtree. Mr. H. Summerfield of Santa Ana is one of those far-seeing business men who believe that the obstacles on the road to fortune are cleared away by a liberal use of printer's ink. He has had a large supply of posters printed at this office, announcing great bargains in his line. He keeps everythingue that policy if U.N. troops occupied Northern Korea. However, should red China go to the rescue of the Korean communists, with Moscow's blessings, it could produce a major upheaval in Asia. And why should Russia steer clear of entanglement? Well, for the very good reason that the European theatre is of much greater importance now than is the Far East. Moscow certainly would hesitate to commit vast strength to an Asiatic campaign while Europe is rapidly becoming an armed camp. Moreover, that's an argument that cuts two ways: The Western Allies certainly have no desire to get heavily involved in Asia at this juncture. They are in process of building their defenses in Europe against any upheaval there, and can't afford to weaken that effort. The North Atlantic Council at this moment has before it the American proposal for the defense of Western Europe. Therefore one would expect the U.N. to hold the Korean program in leash, pending completion of the defense plans for maintaining peace in Europe. Maintenance of a fairly equal balance of power in both east and west would seem to be essential if world war is to be avoided. Dr. Bailey has received a letter from his sister, Mrs. Emma Semmler, dated Brookshire, Texas, September 11, saying her residence had been among those destroyed some days ago in the hurricane which devastated Galveston and the neighboring country. The house was blown down and wrecked and the waters of the subsequent flood drowned the livestock and fowl on the plantation. An awful night of terror had been spent by the lady and her husband in their barn during the deluge. Another sister and her daughter spent the night in the cellar after the partial destruction of their home. 25 Years Ago Mrs. Ella S. Ross, wife of W.A. 52,823,504 pounds of Mexican and the almost unbelievable force of three billion pounds (3,500,000 of grain sorghum). Much of this stored food is likely to become moldy and rainy yet people are hungry from food in many lands. Note—The Agriculture Department also has 7,500,000 pounds rice in storage. This could much further than bullets to the peace in Korea. Fued Hits Children The world's underprivileged children will get no money from the USA—all because of a trespasser feud and because consin's well-intentioned Ser Alexander Wiley got so bombarded that he woke up feudist Ser Kenneth McKellar. Since the Children's Aid mission was not on the Senate soULE, the rules provided that could not pass without unanimous consent. This was requested Tennessee's junior Senator Kefauver and was just about be granted. But suddenly braska's Senator Kenneth White broke in, explaining he had objections but wanted an explanation of the bill first. Wiley offered to make the planation and got all wound in his own oratory. Kefauver joined at Wiley's coattail a couple times to shut him up, but Wisconsin Senator boomed on on. His speechmaking finally wiped up the Senate's grandpa, Moeller of Tennessee, who had dozing in his seat. Disturbed grumpily began whispering around to find out what was ing on, learned that Kefauver was behind the bill. That enough. Aid to thousands children made no difference. Kellar hates Kefauver so fgiously that he won't even attend his staff to mention Kefauner name. So, after Wiley's eloquent speech, McKellar snorted: "I compelled to object." The stunned Wiley explained that the Children's Aid bill already been approved in print by McKellar's own Appropriation committee. But the surly Sen from Tennessee mumbled that committee had been given "run-around." Then, in a tone dictating he didn't wish to disguise it any further, he rasped agen"I am compelled to object." That ended it. There will be aid to children despite the high amounts of food stored in caves and warehouses. White House Bathrooms Mr. H. Summerfield of Santa Ana is one of those far-seeing business men who believe that the obstacles on the road to fortune are cleared away by a liberal use of printer's ink. He has had a large supply of posters printed at this office, announcing great bargains in his line. He keeps everything from a barrel of flour to a fish hook. A new social club has been organized under the euphonious name of L.O.C. P. Davis goes to San Francisco on Sunday. It is with deep regret that we chronicle the demise of Mrs. J. M. Allis, wife of the pastor of the Presbyterian church of this place. She died about 5 o'clock this morning at the residence of her sister, in Compton. The funeral will take place in Los Angeles tomorrow at 1 o'clock. J. D. Ott has gone to Santa Monica for a brief vacation. 50 Years Ago Jack Hunter, the man who makes traveling pleasant between Anaheim and Fullerton by keeping the roads well sprinkled, was in town shaking hands with friends on Saturday. Jack sprinkles the county road from Placentia west to Fullerton, and thence hitherward to the city's north line. He has lately constructed a new bridge over the barranca on the road between Fullerton and Placentia. Under the guidance of Supervisor Potter he is giving trav- Funeral services for Mrs. Hettie M. Houck, wife of Dr. F. H. Houck, were held at the chapel of Backs, Terry & Campbell, Friday morning. Mrs. Houck was the daughter of the late Peter and Josephine Weisel, old-time residents here. Besides her husband she leaves two daughters, Helene and Grace, five sisters and three brothers. The sisters are Mrs. Della Larsen of Hollywood, Mrs. Elsa Schellens and Mrs. H. Sayer of Los Angeles and Mrs. Josephine Krastel and Joseph Hillscher of Anaheim. The brothers, Peter J. Weisel of La Habra, Hans V. and Fred Weisel of this city. Frank Dyer and daughter, Miss Lois Dyer visited at Anaheim Landing Sunday where they engaged in a swim around the bay, both being expert swimmers. Hon. and Mrs. Phil A. Stanton of Seal Beach have returned from a month's visit to British Columbia where they enjoyed a delightful sojourn. WASHINGTON — It’s a paradoxical fact that, while the government has been cracking down on war hoarders, the Agriculture Department has been breaking all records for hoarding. Since the sea war, the Agriculture De-ment has hidden away in its another 47,200,000 pounds of seas, 30,200,000 pounds of butcher and 16,700,000 pounds of dried fish, remember, is all since the sea war started. Meanwhile, costs have been skyrocketing. Some of this government hoarder was supposed to stabilize farm prices. Yet the artificial shortages, stop of the war crisis, have led a crisis at the cornerery store. As a result, not only the housewives but the Army, too, is paying more for butter, eggs and cheese. What this means is that taxpayers are boosting the prices that they, themselves, must feed the Army. Meanwhile, surplus food stocks have needed to 191,800,000 pounds of oil; 110,595,296 pounds of dried milk; 106,100,000 pounds of cheese; 100,000 pounds of dried milk; 13,504 pounds of Mexican beef; the almost unbelievable figure three billion pounds (3,052,-100 of grain sorghum). Much of this stored food is likely to become moldy and rancid, people are hungry from lack of food in many lands. The Agriculture Department also has 7,500,000 pounds of corn in storage. This could go further than bullets to win peace in Korea. Fued Hits Children Colony Quips For the past three weeks the orange market has been showing a healthy gain and if the prices had been no lower for the whole season than they were last week then the grower would be getting almost up to that figure which Washington calls parity. The pitiful thing is from the grower's standpoint, that every valencia which would not float up in the air when picked from the tree should have brought back, at least, the money return now being "rejected" as the term is used. This last statement probably looms us to the salt mines of Siberia. But, to our mind, it is true. Without using too much "hind sight" a smart guy could make this contention stand up. To do the job several things would be needed and one, perhaps, is essential. That is the handling of a majority of the crop. Does any one shipper have substantially more than 50 per cent of the valencia crop under their wing? Yep. Has any one group power enough in the industry to set the price of by-products and juice fruit? No argument there. Florida has done a terrific job of merchandising on a $2 million advertising budget for the entire industry. They are ready now to increase their selling punch through the medium of a new advertising agency. J. Walter Thompson Co. Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S.

Fued His Children The world's underprivileged children will get no money from USA—all because of a Tenure feud and because Wisdom's well-intentioned Senatorander Wiley got so bombastic the woke up feudist Senatoreth McKellar. Once the Children's Aid meas was not on the Senate schedule the rules provided that it did not pass without unanimous consent. This was requested by Wisdom's junior Senator Estes涧er and was just about to grant. But suddenly Nela's Senator Kenneth Wherry in, explaining he had no options but wanted an explanation of the bill first. Wiley offered to make the ex-tion and got all wound up own oratory. Kefauver pulls Wiley's coattail a couple of days to shut him up, but the Consin Senator boomed on and speechmaking finally woke the Senate's grandpa, McKellar Tennessee, who had been in his seat. Disturbed, he rapidly began whispering and to find out what was going on, learned that Kefauver behind the bill. That was with aid. Aid to thousands of men made no difference. McRear hates Kefauver so ferociously that he won't even allow staff to mention Kefauver's actions after Wiley's eloquent snort: "I am called to object and I do objection." Stunned Wiley explained the Children's Aid bill had already been approved in principle Kellar's own Appropriations Committee. But the surly Senator Tennessee mumbled that his committee had been given the ground." Then, in a tone ing he didn't wish to discuss further, he rasped again compelled to object." It ended it. There will be no children despite the huge cuts of food stored in our warehouses. White House Bathrooms Has any one group power enough in the industry to set the price of by-products and juice fruit? No argument there. Florida has done a terrific job of merchandising on a $2 million advertising budget for the entire industry. They are ready now to increase their selling punch through the medium of a new advertising agency, J. Walter Thompson Co., which has undertaken the job of selling at a profit, the largest crop ever to be produced in the southern state. To have done the job mentioned above here in California a substantial advertising budget would be needed. Because our crop is much smaller a smaller outlay for advertising would help do the selling. Has any group or individual any money for advertising? Yep. Perhaps even more than Florida will spend to market her 100 million box crop. Hully, gee. Say, pop, what the —— are we doing with all that dough? Well we have not been able to find out entirely. But we noticed one 1890 campaign which told, in full color, what a fine package nature had wrapped orange juice in. The ads did not mention what variety of oranges were being shown. Our snap judgement, which is not good, was that this campaign could not sell free heat to Eskimos or Sterno to a why-know. Catch? The whole thing to our way of thinking could be likened to a big manufacturing company like General Motors spending hundreds of thousands of dollars telling customers about the wonderful freight cars they used to ship their automobiles to market. The potential customer wants to know other things about an automobile. Chevrolet never mentions how the cars get into Cone Brothers hands but they do say that the Chevrolet is "First — and Finest — At Lowest Cost." This division of GM has outsold the entire industry for 19 years and cannot be classed as "freshmen." The housewife does not care how that juice reaches her table. She serves it to keep and improve the health of her family. They drink orange juice because they like it and it is our job to give them a product that tastes good.

NEGRO WOMAN "QUEEN FOR A DAY" HOLLYWOOD (AP) — The first negro woman chosen "Queen for a Day" since the Mutual Broadcasting system daily radio contest began in April, 1945, is Mrs. Cora Richie, 26, Los Angeles.

The mother of three children will be entertained at a night club and movie studio, have a chauffered limousine for a day and receive many other awards. out of the sagging mansion will be used anew. A piece of Virginia pine used in the original trusses in 1817, still as stout and hardy as when it was hewn from the forest south of Washington, will panel a room. Miles of pipe, some of it dating back to the first installations, were carefully taken out and laid away for the day when the plumbers start rebuilding. They are in good condition.
