VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Gazette Economist Finds Gold in Them Green Tags By JOAN S. WHITE "Wal, partner, if you think that ALL the dolns' of this here Hallowe'en Festival and Fair is goin ter be in the park, yer plumb dead wrong!" It was the old prospector, DON (Retsoob) SUYDAM, talking and I think if his office at the Chamber of Commerce had been equipped with a cuspidor, he would have whanged at it for emphasis! Having come supplied with a typical woman's curiosity and always on the lookout for the new and interesting in ANAHEIM, I urged him on. "Hain't you seed the green stickers plastered all over town?" drawled Don, who by this time had lapsed altogether into frontier character—his boots propped comfortably up on the desk, his hands stroking his vigorous growth of whiskers. "The storekeepers in this here town are planning' to celebrate with the doggone best GREEN TAG DAYS you ever seed." I had heard about GREEN TAG DAYS in other cities. They are always value packed merchandising events, a windfall to the shopper and invaluable publicity for the merchant, and so I was delighted to learn that GREEN TAG DAYS are going to be held in ANAHEIM. They are to be sponsored by the RETAIL DIVISION of the ANAHEIM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, October 26, 27 and 28. Now the rumor of reduced prices never fails to intrigue me. Especially right now when price tags always seem to be on the up grade and Christmas is just around the corner.

Spender described this as Elks Honor Oldtimers This Evening Old Timer’s Night at the Elks club is tonight.

Motorcycle patrolman Dave Gleason reported this one today: He followed a woman driver down busy Lake avenue, watching her hand signal first for a left turn, then for a right, then for a stop. Although her hand kept windmilling, she never turned. Gleason stopped her, gave her a stern lecture on hand signals and then waved her on when she came up with this excuse; “Oh, I’m sorry, officer! My nail polish wasn’t quite dry. I was trying to hurry it up.” LUTHERAN WOMEN TO NAME PRESIDENT LONG BEACH (AP) — A new president, the first since 1921, will be elected by the women’s missionary federation of the American Lutheran church before its biennial convention ends Friday. Miss.Katherine Layman, Columbus, O., has announced her retirement after 29 years as president of the group. LAKE SUCCESS (UP) — Australian Foreign Minister Percy C. Spender declared today the use of atomic weapons to repel aggression is justified because aggression itself constitutes the most heinous crime against humanity. “The way of the aggressor has got to be made hard,” Spender told the U.N. Assembly’s Political committee. He spoke for the non-communist world in the committee’s debate on a Soviet resolution. Spender described this as based on the Stockholm appeal, “A piece of international fraud.” The Soviet resolution would classify use of atomic bombs as the greatest crime against humanity and would brand as a war criminal government first using the bomb. “The most helnous crime against humanity is the crime of aggression, and the use of the atomic bomb against aggression is not a crime,” Spender said. “If a nation defies the Charter to which we are all solemnly pledged and itself resorts to armed aggression, I myself can see no reason why, as a defensive measure if the circumstances so demand, the atomic bomb should not be used.” Window Art Info Released Preliminary information about the Window Art show, portion of the Hallowe’en festival, was released today by K.

Joker Turns in Three Fire Alarms In Busy Evening A busy little prankster was having a lot of fun last night at the expense of the city government and at the inconvenience of the personnel of three different fire departments. Funny boy routed out the engines in three Orange county cities—Anaheim, Fullerton, and Orange—last night to chase down three false alarm calls. He started it in Anaheim, calling on the telephone at about 10:30 p.m. It must have been a plot, because he then tried it a half hour later in Fullerton, and repeated the procedure in Orange at 11:30. There were no leads as to his identity, although a check by the Fullerton fire department disclosed that its call had come from a pay phone at the corner of Orangethorpe and Spadra streets.

Reed on his back.—(Associated Press Wirephoto) Bring Water In or Move People Out, Rancher tells Chambermen Orange county must import water or export people, de- sent Ross A. Shafer, Tustin rancher and water authority, addressing a large Associated Chambers of Commerce meeting at Orange Legion hall last evening. Shafer discussed "Orange County's Water Problem as I See It" facts and figures pointing to the pressing need of anxieting Orange county areas to the Metropolitan Water district, and also reclaiming sewage. Speaking on the same theme was Geoffrey Morgan of Santa Monica, president of the Theater Guild and the Shoreline Planning Association of California, who noted the tremendous growth of population under way in the Southland, and the necessity of preparing for still greater growth. Shafer pointed out that Orange county has two sources of natural water supply which amount to 150,000 acre feet of water supply a year—which is not enough. Member cities in the MWD in 1945 were importing 12,000 acre feet a year, which balanced an overdraft of that amount in the natural supply. In 1947-48 the sanitation survey here showed 13,700 acre feet of water sewered into the ocean annually, and the survey predicted that in 1990 this outflow would reach 163,000 acre feet, due to growth of population; said Shafer. The only solution to meet the great overdraft, he declared, (Continued on Page 4) Chick Finalists Set for TV Show The six finalists in the Miss Slick Chick contest of 1950, a portion of this year's 27th Annual Hallowe'en Festival, will appear on Al Jarvis' show over television, KLAC-TV at 12:30 p.m., Thursday, Gordon Chamberlin, chairman announced today.
