MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Yes, you can buy Minnie the TV set... In an announcement on Page 8 of today's Gazette, Anaheim's leading television dealers—Smith-Reafsnyder Furniture, Aaron Schultz Furniture, Superior Radio and Music, Anaheim Appliance TV, Ballman's Appliances, Doller Radio, H. R. Fox, Hartfield Jewelers, Garey's, Schneider Appliances, Television Parlor—point out that you should not hesitate to purchase a television set now. Many people are in a dither about TV sets because of all the ruckus and confusion generated by the Federal Communications commission (which is supposed to "protect" the public interest) over color television. Your friends, the Anaheim television dealers, quote you good authority on Page 8 to guide you in deciding if you should buy a station taken from the news columns of The New York Times—undoubtedly the nation's most reliable newspaper: "Why Present Sets Will Have Extended Usefulness; Both the manufacturers and C.B.S. are agreed on one point: The set now in use will give service for a number of years to come. It will not become a piece of junk to be put out with the morning trash. "The reasons for this are many, primarily economic. Under the C.B.S. system, it will be necessary to build up a color audience from scratch. "But with production costs constantly mounting, it is not logical to assume sponsors of major programs will sacrifice..." IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago It is for the interest of all parties doing business in Anaheim to endeavor to have something done towards repairing the county road from Anaheim to the Landing. They have a good road from Santa Ana to Newport. Why can't we have one to our Landing? Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock train No. 7 met with an accident at a point five miles from Cucamonga. Six cars were ditched and badly demanded, but no passengers or employees were injured. The accident was caused by the ward W. Mansfield of San Diego. Several years ago Miss Foster played with Madame Modjeska. For the last four years she has been leading lady at a San Francisco theater. St. Michael's Guild will meet in Placentia at the home of Mrs. Garrison on Thursday, November 1. 25 Years Ago Sheriff Sam Jerrigan, while passing through town on Monday was halted by motorcycle officer WASHINGTON—Out in ribbed Republican Iowa folks don't know much about Democrats than a hh about Sunday. But this y Democratic are throwing scare into the Republic here are three factors them do it: 1. "Old Hector" whisker 2. P-60 anti-freeze. 3. A bona fide dirt farming for the Senate on the oeratic ticket. The bona fide dirt farmer Loveland, who can't make much better than a rooster eggs. But he served far in the U.S. Department of culture as undersecretary, about half the farmers in and has uncovered the rattl portant fact that his op GOP Sen. Bourke Hickey attended only one out of sixings of the Senate Agriculture committee. As a result, Loveland been effectively asking voters: "would you hire a who came to work one day of six?" Instead of attending most of the Agriculture committeeator Hickenlooper had lied-peeping probes first Atomic Energy commission of the State Department. The probe of the Atom energy commission backfired partly because the former of the Des Moines Register, W. W. Waymack, was member of the commission people in Iowa knew he would for atomic secrets partly because every atom so far has been nailed Army. Not a single leak hailed on the civilian-commission that Hickenlooper made so many charges about Hound-Dog Hickenlooper Hickenlooper's probe of State Department, in which followed in the footsteps of standing Joe McCarthy, looking if it would pay better dividends. Everyone points his big primary majority and "At last Bourke's hound-o has been rewarded." But now folks are incl figure that a State Depa Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock train No. 7 met with an accident at a point five miles from Cucamonga. Six cars were ditched and badly demanded, but no passengers or employees were injured. The accident was caused by the breaking of an axle. Four of the wrecked cars were loaded with ties, and the two box cars contained general merchandise. For several days there have been large fires in the mountains north of here. Last night the fires could be plainly seen from the town. R. W. Scott has just received a wagon load of volumes of the law. Hereafter our suits will be conducted according to Hoyle. The Catholic church in Los Angeles when completed will cost $150,000 and will seat 3000 people. The organ will cost $300. 50 Years Ago Miss Sarah Crowther, while riding on a street car in Los Angeles some days ago, in company with Miss Mary Cowan, had the novel experience of being in a collision of cars which came near resulting seriously to a number of passengers. While her car was turning the corner of Fifth and Hill sts., it was run into by another car and wrecked. Miss Cowan sustained severe bruises, but Miss Crowther escaped unhurt.

Stewart was so flabbergasted when he learned the name and station of his victim that he permitted Sam to roll out of town without the tag. Probably the sheriff will tour Anaheim the next time he has business in this end of the county. Five hundred Sciots, which is an associate branch of the Masonic order, gathered in Anaheim Saturday night and paraded down Center street headed by a band. They came from Long Beach, Santa Ana and Fullerton. The object of the gathering was to initiate 50 candidates for membership. The ceremony took place in the Knights of Pythias hall. All initiates were securely roped and led down the street at the tail of the procession. Miss Marie Hamman and her fiance, Perry Smith, were honor guests at a dinner given by friends Friday evening at the Mary Louise, Fullerton. The wedding date is fixed for early in November. Seventy couples attended the first dance of the season given by the Elks last Friday night. Kurt Epstein is in San Francisco this week, buying a heavy stock of goods for Falkenstein's. Hickenlooper's probe of State Department, in which followed in the footsteps of standing Joe McCarthy, looked if it would pay better dividends. Everyone points his big primary majority and "At last Bourke's hound-dog has been rewarded." But now folks are inclined figure that a State Depa which acted so forthright Korea couldn't have had many communists, and that hound-dog Hickenlooper got of a scent that was about years old. Hickenlooper will probably in November. The normal margin in Iowa seems fair tain to carry him through he isn't being helped any other developments.

So far no been forthcoming. 2) Iowa's GOP Secretary Agriculture, Clyde Spry, apothecary purchase of an anti-freeze, but GOP tary Spry OK'd P-60 just same. The Democrats now know why.

It will WASHINGTON—Out in rock-bored Republican Iowa a lot of folks don't know much more about Democrats than a hog docs out Sunday. But this year the democrats are throwing a slight care into the Republicans, and are three factors helping them do it: 1. "Old Hector" whiskey. 2. P-60 anti-freeze. 3. A bona fide dirt farmer is Al Loveland, who can't make a speech much better than a rooster can lay eggs. But he served faithfully to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as undersecretary, knows out half the farmers in Iowa, and has uncovered the rather important fact that his opponent, DP Sen. Bourke Hickenlooper, ended only one out of six meetings of the Senate Agriculture committee. As a result, Loveland has been effectively asking Iowa voters: "would you hire a hand who came to work one day out of six?" Instead of attending meetings the Agriculture committee, Senator Hickenlooper had led the I-peeping probes first of the atomic Energy commission, then the State Department. The probe of the Atomic Energy commission backfired badly, partly because the former editor the Des Moines Register-Tribune, W. W. Waymack, was then a member of the commission and apple in Iowa knew he wouldn't end for atomic secrets leaking; partly because every atomic leak far has been nailed on the my. Not a single leak has been led on the civilian-controlled commission that Hickenlooper made so many charges about. Hound-Dog Hickenlooper Hickenlooper's probe of the State Department, in which he showed in the footsteps of grandstanding Joe McCarthy, looked as if would pay better political dividends. Everyone pointed to big primary majority and said: "It last Bourke's hound-dogging has been rewarded."

Following, in the black type, are a few hoary campaign clichés as the candidate utters them. In parentheses is this writer's interpretation of what the candidate really means. "It's time for a change." (Let ME shoulder up to the public trough for awhile). "My honorable opponent." (That mallet - headed incompetent). "The voting public." (An aimless, milling mob of faceless things). "The common man." (Any person, over 21 and at least two decimal points to the right of a half-wit, who will scratch an "X" for me). "I seek this office only because a great number of interested citizens have urged me to run." (The old lady, the corner barber, and some of the folks back in Iowa said I might as well take a whack at it). “If elected, I shall show no partisanship; no special groups shall have favors.” (After I have settled with The Boys, that is). “The party faithful.” (Anyone sucker enough to lay out $25 for a ham dinner). “If elected to this office, rest assured there will be some changes made.” (I'll put up some venetian blinds). “Conducting a grass-roots campaign.” (Getting out among the hay-shakers. Trying to spellbind the hicks). “Regardless of your political affiliation, despite what conclusions you have drawn from the charges and counter-charges in this bitter campaign, I urge you, as American citizens, to exercise your sacred right of franchise on election day and elect the man of your honest choice. Vote as you will but please VOTE!” shock to dog lovers, but some zoologists hold that canines are color blind, and that through their eyes things look hazy and indistinct, a sort of grey mass. They depend almost entirely on the sense of smell. You might keep this in mind next time your dog fixes you with that great big heart-melting, worshipful stare. It will keep your ego down where it belongs to remember that, to Rover, you are just a great big blurry blob that smells good. STREET SCENE: Two sleepy-looking individuals standing on the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets holding up to the hurrying Saturday shopping crowds a magazine entitled—“AWAKE!” ONE CAN'T HELP wondering how many disgruntled taxpayers got a vicarious sense of satisfaction out of the recent attempted shooting of the Fullerton city official. Sheriff's men are still puzzling over the shooting which was done in the best cinema gangland tradition, on a lonely county road in the dead of night. Someone bent on removing an official from public office, evidently has not heard of the equally effective but less dangerous recall procedure. The would-be assassin's shot, however, went wide of its mark. Let's hope this doesn't happen in the case of any of our local officials. Colony Quips The strong year-end market for valencias this year was no fluke according to some real thinkers in the orange business. We do not mean any of the “hired help” and “cheaper fruit” men the industry has been (so help us it still is) burdened down with for a long time. We are speaking about some of the new fangled growers who are starting to do some of their own thinking. You will recall some of the terrific oratory that was indulged in at OAC meetings in early summer grade which puts them in the later. See what we don't ship until that we start out to “moon”. They think about the vulgar. Vulgar but nice. Marshal Tito Government Palace Belgrade, Yugoslavia Dear Sir: The other day, after dispatch from Belgrade issued all special privately by communist officials food, housing and so the first time in a spokesman was quoted the rulers and they going to be treated o This piece of new cellency, hit me when late, and so I mose the Public library tha see whether you re No. 1 spot on the Parade. And the am searched it, is that dozen centuries later history means anything cinch to fall flat on late.

Everyone pointed to it big primary majority and said: "It last Bourke's hound-dogging has been rewarded." But now folks are inclined to sure that a State Department which acted so forthrightly in Korea couldn't have harbored any communists, and that maybe Hickenlooper got hold of a scent that was about five years old. Hickenlooper will probably win November. The normal GOP margin in Iowa seems fairly certain to carry him through. But isn't being helped any by two other developments. These are: 1) The Republican-controlled state Liquor commission loaded itself up with a lot of "Old Hector" whiskey, aged three years, when it could have bought bonded whiskey, guaranteed by the federal government to be four years old at almost the same price. Why the GOP commissioners went for Old Hector instead of the better trade is a question the Democrats won't answer. So far none has been forthcoming. 2) Iowa's GOP Secretary of Agriculture, Clyde Spry, approved the purchase of an anti-freeze for trucks despite the fact that Iowa state college, warned, that this would sign engines in the U.S. Bureau of Standards in Washington also refused to OK 60 anti-freeze, but GOP Secretary Spry OK'd P-60 just the time. The Democrats now want know why. In fact, Lester Gillette, Democratic candidate for Governor, "Conducting a grass-roots campaign." (Getting out among the hay-shakers. Trying to spellbind the hicks). "Regardless of your political affiliation, despite what conclusions you have drawn from the charges and counter-charges in this bitter campaign, I urge you, as American citizens, to exercise your sacred right of franchise on election day and elect the man of your honest choice. Vote as you will, but please, VOTE!" (For me). THIS MAY COME as a distinct goes further than this, "It would be better," he says, "to put Old Hector whiskey in our radiators and drink the P-60."

It was very good. And the concentrate deal needs a lot more fruit. But we "moved the crop" in a way that Mr. Wilcox said our "best marketing opportunity" lay. That of course was "in the field of fresh oranges" and with the "cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid he seems to be exactly right. Of course there are other things in the business that make this little deal look much worse than this column does. We mean that other growers, including Florida, got a lot more money for their fruit which went into the identical product. The raw material brought more money and if these "boys" did not know it when they signed the "cheaper fruit" contract then we've got another think coming. But to get back to that early entry of Florida into the citrus market. Those folks down there are so far ahead of our operation that it is not even funny. The grower down there knows more about the business than our "top brass" in the upper reaches of the kremlin. They got "wise" and were mindful of low prices after fast starts in former seasons. The grower down there wants money—and he gets it. So they put on a tight grade which automatically puts them in the market much later. See what we mean? They don't ship until that fruit is good. We start out to "move the crop". They think about the money. How vulgar. Vulgar but nice. This is the season for persimmons, the goregous orange fruits that are beginning to take their place in our markets amid the more common fruits of fall. A persimmon insists upon clinging to its tree long after the leaves have fallen to give an unexpected bit of color to the countryside. Bit into a persimmon before it is fully ripe and your moth will surely pucker. But allow the fruit to ripen until its almost reaches the mushy stage, carefully peel off the outer skin, remove the center membrane and you will be rewarded by an exotic flavor that is delightful. If the children enjoy eating them raw, that is fine for the persimmon is high in mineral and vitamin content. A good ripe persimmon has nearly twice as much vitamin C content as an orange of the same size. The trouble with persimmons is that because of the rather cloying sweetness, most people can not eat very many and the owner of a persimmon tree is faced with the problem of how to use this perishable fruit. We are indebted to Mrs. Claude Slack of 523 S. Dickel for some excellent suggestions. Mrs. Slack is one of Anaheim's best cooks having won a number of prizes at the Orange County Fair in sugar for her candy and cake. Her duties this year as secretary of the Farm Bureau and membership chairman of the Ebell club keep her very busy but she always finds time for cooking and baking. Mrs. Slack successfully freezes part of her persimmon crop although she finds that the color darkens during the freezing process. Persimmons may also be dried or made into jam. Here are the recipes using persimmons that Mrs. Slack's family particularly enjoy: MRS. SLACK'S PERSIMMON COOKIES 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1 cup persimmon pulp 1 cup raisins 1 cup nuts 1 teaspoon soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon cloves 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Cream shortening with sugar and beat in the egg. Put the persimmon, raisins and nuts through a meat grinder and add to the first mixture. Sift together the dry ingredients and stir in. Drop by spoonfuls on a greased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until cookies are nicely browned. This makes about 60 small brownies. PITCHING HORSESHOES by Billy Rose Marshal Tito Government Palace Belgrade, Yugoslavia Dear Sir: The other day, according to a dispatch from Belgrade, you abolished all special privileges enjoyed by communist officials as regards food, housing and services. For the first time in history, your spokesman was quoted as saying, the rulers and the people, were going to be treated exactly alike. This piece of news, Your Excellency, hit me where I speculate, and so I moseyed down to the Public library this morning to see whether you really rate the No.1 spot on the all-time Split Parade. And the answer, as I researched it, is that (a) you're a dozen centuries late, and (b) if history means anything, you're a cinch to fall flat on your postulate. Here are the pertinent precedents: Back in the 8th Century, the ruler of Tibet, a sharp-conscienced gent named Muni Tsan-po, decreed that the wealth of his country be divvied up among the people, share-and-share-alike. A few years later, however, when Muni (no relation to Paul) took a turn around his bailiwick to see how the plan was working, he found that in almost every case the rich had regained their riches and the poor their poverty. Twice more he reshuffled the wealth, but when the results were the same he finally abandoned the notion and decided to devote the rest of his life to prayer—the lion, so to speak, turned into a lamb. The same thing, according to the times in this country during the times in the past 150 years. In 1825 an idealistic gent named Robert Owen set up an egalitarian community in New Harmony, Indiana, and saw it break out some years later. The trouble with persimmons is that because of the rather cloying sweetness, most people can not eat very many and the owner of a persimmon tree is faced with the problem of how to use this perishable fruit. We are indebted to Mrs. Claude Slack of 523 S. Dickel for some excellent suggestions. Mrs. Slack is one of Anaheim's best cooks having won a number of prizes at the Orange County Fair including a sweepstakes award of wcalthy bureaucrats and a perfume and cosmetic industry for their wives. The country I'm referring to, of course, is Soviet Russia and the above incquities came about soon after the Stakhanovite piecework system was introduced in 1935. Yes, cockeyed as it may seem, only 15 years after the revolution there was a greater gap between top and bottom wage levels in Communist Russia than there had ever been in Capitalist America. Am I setting forth all these grim statistics to prove the overworked cliche that you can't change human nature? Not at all—I've seen human nature overhauled more than once in the last half century. However, if you'll pardon the presumption, I am trying to point out to Your Excellency that no matter how you juggle human nature you can't eliminate it entirely. Sincerely, Billy Rose P.
