MELLEN Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Crusade for Freedom . . . George Spielman, who puts in a full day's work at Anaheim's SQR store, is the local chairman of a powerful movement called "Crusade for Freedom." We point out that Mr. Spielman is a busy man to illustrate the fact that a public service must be compelling before a businessman will add it to his already full program. But, what could be more compelling than the realization that to protect our way of life we must fight fire with fire. Korea proved that. The Crusade for Freedom is a means of giving every man and woman in the land an opportunity to raise his "voice" for human some thinking about it. Freedom scrolls are being circulated by the "Crusade for Freedom." When you have an opportunity to sign one of these scrolls, do so. You will not be signing a "phoney" pledge, a document which later will be used to embarrass you, nor will you be subject to ridicule. The "Crusade for Freedom" is a proud and bona fide organization. It has a good and useful purpose behind it—it merits your support. One part of the program of the crusade is the dedication of a "Freedom Bell" in Berlin. Obispo, accompanied by Drury of Santa Ann Major School died in London in 1873 when an expedition to negotiate the Cetakina Island. His son have a photograph taken to homestead, which is still standing. 25 Years Ago The meeting of the Ebell club Elks hall on Monday afternoon was quite a notable one in several particulars. It was the first ing of the year, a new press was installed and a very delicate program was given, the feature the afternoon being the lecture "Romance of the California sions," by Mrs. Victor Monroe of Santa Ana. Mrs. Monroe, besides being a particularly well informed speaker who does her subject in a most interesting manner, is a charming southern woman. She spent girlhood days in Anaheim, the former Miss Charlie ver, a daughter of Mrs. J. S. diner, who was a pioneer of heim. The lecture took one back to old days of romance, the date the Dons, of Fray Juliero S who founded the Missions.

But, what could be more compelling than the realization that to protect our way of life we must fight fire with fire. Korea proved that. The Crusade for Freedom is a means of giving every man and woman in the land an opportunity to raise his "voice" for human freedom. Its purpose is to get people interested in what is happening to free institutions throughout the world and to arouse them to doing Faith in Things Spiritual . . . Millions of Americans will be urged to read and reread the Bible in the heat future. The occasion is National Bible week, October 16-22, which is sponsored by the Laymen's National Committee. The week will have, as participants, persons of all faiths and creeds. It is designed to appeal to people of every age and in all walks of life—the housewife, the factory worker, the farmer, the businessman, the professional worker. Governors and mayor and others will issue proclamations asking that all turn again to the Holy Scriptures. We live in a world which seems to have become almost utterly materialistic—a world in which the black shadow of war is seen once more. Yet in such a world matters of the spirit remain all-important. General Bradley, the chief military officer of the nation has written, "Our enemy has faith in things material. I do not hesitate to say, as a soldier, that we must have faith in things spiritual. That faith diminishes physical hardships and enhances physical valor. It can—and I am sure, will—shorten our trial and speed our triumph." The lessons of the Bible are eternal. They can serve us all in these turbulent days. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The grape stealing season has commenced. The vineyardists complain bitterly of the depredations made on their vineyards. We were interviewed this morning by a man with a gun. It was Menzel. He has bought a beautiful new gun and will soon have a shooting gallery in the rear of Volk's hall. About twelve hundred workmen are now engaged on the San Fernando tunnel. Seven hundred of them are Celestials. medicinal properties: This is a remarkably strong mineral water taken from a depth of 320 feet, from the artesian well on the Santa Gertrudes rancho.

Seven hundred of them are Celestials. We have received the Santa Barbara Illustrated Press and find it replete with interesting information concerning Southern California. The engravings are numerous and well executed. We are pleased to note that the edition says kinds things about Anaheim and quotes liberally from the Gazette. The price of this illustrated number is only 10 cents. More relics of bygone days have been discovered by the workmen on the Cajon ditch. A number of sharks teeth were found the other day, embedded in the standstone road. A local artist, a Mexican, is engaged in making a copy of Toby Rosenthal's famous picture "Elaine." The San Francisco "Ledger" of Thursday says: Yesterday in the United States District Court, the case of Francis Mora vs John Forster was submitted on brief on file. This is an action in ejection commenced on the 18th day of January, 1869, to recover possession of the Mission San Juan Capistrano, in Los Angeles county, and for $500 yearly rents and profits. We made brief mention yesterday of the sulphur well recently struck near Sanford's place. The Downey Courier has the following on the subject: We have received from Dr. Fulton a bottle of white sulphur water famed for its 50 Years Ago City Clerk Merritt's official figures show an increase in the property valuation in the city of Anaheim during the year amounting to $25,657. The total assessed valuation amounts to $579,262. Last year it was $554,262. Amount raised by taxes $7,538.95. An increase of $25,657 during the year speaks volumes for the progress made by the city. A. T. Pendleton, another life-long Democrat, has also come out for the Republican ticket, and J. C. Sheppard of Fullerton shows good indications. In town, F. A. Korn, a life-long Democrat has come out for McKinley as has also Charles Lorenz. The oldest pioneer in Anaheim, Alex Henry and A. H. Cargill have already publicly announced their renunciation of the Democracy. L. Dahlman of Brookshurst is of the same way of thinking. Here are eight life-long Democrats who will vote the Republican ticket this fall—and the changes have just begun to be announced. The Republican committee has the names of a dozen other Democrats in this vicinity who will vote for the party of prosperity. Orange county will be a landslide for the Republican ticket—you bet. Greorge Bauer is visiting with his son-in-law and daughter, George L. Curtis and wife, at Walters, Riverside county. Marmaduke Strobel, son of Major Max Strobel, who was mayor of this city in the early 70's, was in town yesterday from San Luis Disposing of his interests at the store of Locke and McAulay some six months ago, A. McAulay well-known Anaheimmer, has decided to enter the business field Azusa, and on Saturday will open a first-class shoe store in that city. Mr. McAulay will handle famous Hamilton-Brown lines shoes exclusively and is greatly enthused with the business projects of his chosen city. He will maintain his residence in Anaheim, driving to and from his business. His many friends wish him success. There was a strike at the Silly Moon cafe a couple of weeks ago at the employees all walking down Billy Tobm, the chef, after quitting the cafe, decided to go into business for himself. He leased the room formerly occupied by Scotty at 212 N. Los Angeles and opened up for business Monday. All the city trustees, City Manager Price and City Attorneys Neisel will attend the annual convention of the California League of municipalities to be held at Long Beach September 28 to October 3. The county supervisors have appropriated $1500 toward fraying expenses of the Armistice Day celebration to be held in the city on November 11.

The following commit- MAN OF THE WEEK WORLD SERIES WASHINGTON—General Marshall has given a hint that he may remain as Secretary of Defense only a short time. The hint is a request to continue as head of the American Red Cross—despite the fact that at the age of 70 he occupies one of the most backbreaking jobs in the cabinet. The reason given is that General Marshall has been a strong advocate of civilian defense, and has committed the Red Cross to several civilian defense programs on which he would like to follow through. Behind him, however, it is believed that the General may want to step out of the Defense Department next year and go back to the Red Cross. The Red Cross Board of Governors will meet on November 18 to decide whether they will retain Marshall. In the interim Marshall rates next to the president as the highest-paid public servant in the United States. His salary is $45,000 plus $6000 for entertainment — total $51,000. This is because Marshall now draws $22,500 as a cabinet member, plus another $22,500 as head of the American Red Cross, plus $6000 for entertainment. Even when head of the Red Cross alone and before he took the defense job, Marshall was one of the highest-paid public officials in the country, drawing $16,701 as a five-star general, plus $22,500 from the Red Cross, plus $6000 for entertainment, or a total of $47,261. Johnson and Brewsler President Truman is still telling intimate friends about the reasons why he fired Louey Johnson. "Found out," said Mr. Truman. Colony Quips Announcement was made some days ago by the Exchange of plans to move and advertise this year's naval crop. The "theme" to be pursued was unveiled for their growers, no less, to gaze upon. Three sparkling new superlatives were shaken out before the dazed eyes of the "faithful" 14,500. It read like a "fight talk" given the Light Brigade before their famous charge at Balaclava. Indeed, it was of the same vintage. And that is where the parallel ceases. Here they are, in all their pristine splendor: "Finer Flavor" is the first, "Richer Juice" sounds like the second, and believe it or not, "No Seeds" brings up the rear. There is the new 1950 promotion for navel oranges. Did you ever hear of anything so svelt—we almost said ducky. Come to think of it the new theme sounds familiar. It seems we have heard the same old stuff last year, the year before and so on for about 25 of them. These "new" themes are all true, could hardly be called new, and are not designed to make growers blue. But they sure will not bring up any consumers blood pressure and cause same to part with money in the markets — unless they are "cheaper" than anything less. Now the pattern gets familiar. The same old baloney boils down to less money for the grower. And a lot of growers are getting a belly full. Florida grower a center regular advertising station. When an agency places an ad newspaper, for instance them a 15 per cent cost and this is their entireation. This is standard in all periodicals and is the way advertising is. The point is that all brains went to work to Florida growers how could be sold for a profit to land the two million count for themselves. There has never been petition for the Exchange in the memory of man; said it was given to the because he bought lunches. So our promotion way: "What is fresh juice?"; and now the gras "No seeds." So that is why we feel Light Brigade which Kaiser described after reading fornia advertising. Florida is again awa front.

Johnson and Brewster: President Truman is still telling intimate friends about the reasons why he fired Louey Johnson. "Found out," said Mr. Truman recently, "about all those secret deals between Louey and Senator Brewster, and those trips Louey made to New York to see Barney Baruch." "I hear that Louey and Brewster even had a connecting door between their apartments in the Mayflower," remarked the presiden-tial caller. "It was almost that bad," replied the president. "Louey was actually feeding Brewster ammunition against our foreign polio." It showed up in speeches by Republican Senators: NOTE — Had Truman waited two weeks until after the Inchon investment to fire Johnson, it would have been difficult. The Secretary of Defense would have received part of the credit. Hence the latest Washington wisecrack: "Trumen has captured Formosa from the Republicans and prevented Johnson from taking Seoul." Woodrow Wilson's Namesake: Former President Woodrow Wilson must have been present in spirit when a disabled veteran of the war he tried to prevent by a League of Nations called at the White House in a wheel chair. The caller was ex-Army Corp. Woodrow Wilson of Millville, N. S., who lost both legs and a hand-in Germany after the Battle of the Bulge. He came to present President Truman with a forget-me-not, opening the annual fund-raising drive of the Disabled American Veterans. "You have a distinguished name," suggested Truman. "By any chance—" "Yes, sir, I am related to the late President Wilson," said the veteran, "and was named after him." "Well, I know he'd be mighty proud of you if he were here today," replied Truman. "You remind me of another young fellow to whom I awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. He told me he regretted having only one life that he could give to his country."

Off to a good start in the card derby is Mitchell's Treasure House of Gifts, 239 W. Center. This Anheim store is offering something completely different this year in greeting cards. For example, there is the "twirl around." Thist card can be folded flat in an envelope and mailed. When it arrives at its destination it may be hung on a bough of the Christmas tree where it will dance and Florida grower a cent over the regular advertising appropriation. When an advertising agency places an ad in this newspaper, for instance, we give them a 15 per cent commission and this is their entire compensation. This is standard practice in all periodicals and is, roughly, the way advertising is handled. The point is that all these top brains went to work to (1) show Florida growers how the crop could be sold for a profit, and (2) to land the two million dollar account for themselves. There has never been any competition for the Exchange account in the memory of man. Someone said it was given to the same man because he bought the most lunches. So our promotion goes this way: "What is fresh orange juice?"; and now the coup de gras "No seeds." So that is why we feel like the Light Brigade which Kipling described after reading our California advertising. Florida is again away out in front. Here is how their grapefruit will be mentioned: "Florida grapefruit—the 'Bracer' fruit." Makes you want to try some? Here is a real one. Florida has had trouble to get good money for tangerines so "JWT" comes up with a real one here: "Our Tangerines with the 'Zipper Skin' etc..." Do you see what we mean?
