THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BEILER WILLAND GREGORY ERNEST BEYER MYLES BRADLEY NEIL STANLEY Q. E. MELLEN MARY ROULAND RALPH ROULAND American Education Week... The following editorial was prepared in the Anaheim Union High school in observance of American Education week. The Gazette is glad to cooperate with the school in publishing the article. Anaheim Union High School, like educational institutions across the nation, is pausing briefly this week to observe American Education week. To be recognized locally without benefit of any particular celebration, the week only will be another week of "business as usual." A senior class P-TA meeting Monday evening provided the only outward sign of the observance. Yet, although administrators and teachers are not taking "time out" from duties to pay formal recognition to the week this year, the public should none the less realize that such a multifaceted effort but the shifting population into western areas will make for acutely overcrowded conditions in many areas. Piled on top of accumulated shortages in curriculum, personnel, classrooms, equipment, and funds are these needs of increased enrollment. Estimates indicate that 13.5 billion dollars will be needed for school buildings within the next 10 years to accommodate increasing enrollment and replace worn out buildings. Not enough buildings have been constructed during the past 20 years to even take care of normal enrollment. And at least 100,000 new teachers will be needed during each of the next 10 years. To attract and hold persons of highest quality attention as to how far the Chinese alliance will go all-out world war will largely on one factor—how atomic bombs we have, coupled with the number Russia has. The preponderance of weapons in our favor comes to be the most reassuring in the otherwise unhappy national picture. For definite information been obtained that Russia been able to manufacture atomic bombs and is making only at the rate of two per cent. On the other hand, the Japanese stockpile, while it is vastly greater. Further our rate of production is faster. This superiority of strength has been the main deterring the Soviet from war up to now, and the are it will continue to be a rent in the future. It is also the Russians have adopted policy of wearing down An resources by wars of attrition which satellite nations, red army, do the fighting. In brief, it is likely that Kremlin will not risk a major in which Russian troops mattle and in which Russia are exposed—until there is better balance between our stockpile and Moscow's. Guarding the Preside... Until the recent attempt life, President Truman had little thought to his personalty. He once told my as Fred Blumenthal, that he hured out what he would do... IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Col Kewan and Stephen M. White have formed a law partnership. George M. Devendorf has received his commission as postmaster of Downey city. Dr. J. H. Yocum, A. G. Smith and W. Hunter have been elected trustees of the First Presbyterian church. Dr. Yocum is president and A. G. Smith is secretary and treasurer. The president has issued his proclamation for a day of Thanksgiving fixing that event to occur this year on the 25 of November. A petition to Senator Sargent is in circulation asking the government to put all the Mission Indians on reservations. near the wrist. He went home saying nothing about the accident. His mother noticed the breaks and called Dr. Wilson, who set and bandaged the arms. The next day Johnny was out again as usual. He suffers no pain and experiences little inconvenience as a result of the accident. Ed Morgan has returned from Twenty-Nine Palms where he went several weeks ago. He reports two of the heaviest rainfalls in 20 years. Ed returns in time to plunk in a vote for McKinley and prosperity. C. Wagner was in town from Fullerton on Saturday. He expressed the opinion that the Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad will be in Placentia before many months. In brief, it is likely that Kremlin will not risk a major battle in which Russian troops may be exposed—until there is a ter balance between our stockpile and Moscow's. Guarding the President Until the recent attempt at life, President Truman had little thought to his personality. He once told my asshole Fred Blumenthal, that he hadured out what he would do assassin came into the room assassins, he said, would be the president to get under desk, but he was planning to verse things and attack the tacker—just as Andrew Johnson did when attacked in the Congress... When last shooting started, Mrs. Tucker entered into the president's room where he was napped tell him a Secret Service man lying wounded on the street usually she mistook assassin lazo for a plain-clothes man One Secret Service man front of Blair House at the rear eating lunch. The House police, which bore the of the attack, are under the secret Service... The Secret Service have been under some crisis in recent years for them to become partially political. Gen. Harry Vaughan interment in the early days of the Tad administration, fired Mike Pence who operated under Roosevelt and gave the impression he'd run the service. This not have been tolerated in the days of Chief William Moran Later, during the Senate five center probe, Reilly was rehired and given a $10,000 in the Interior department knew too much about how Secret Service gave a special to Vaughan's friend, John gon, and about other private wire-pulling.)... Despite casional politics, however, the secret Service does a good job. Problem for U.N. The North Korean-Mandela area is an ideal one for Nations cooperation—if N Korea would permit it. Reason is that the Japs, which once conquered Korea and Manchuria, developed power and industry regardless of international aries, just as Grand Courage Bonneville dams serve states, regardless of state aries... Seven major are reported on the Yalu river tween Manchuria and Northeastern China. The president has issued his proclamation for a day of thanksgiving fixing that event to occur this year on the 25 of November. A petition to Senator Sargent is in circulation asking the government to put all the Mission Indians on reservations. Sheriff Rowland will soon commence collecting taxes. He gives notice that he will be at San Juan on the 17th, Santa Ana the 18th and Anaheim the 19th and 20 of November for the purpose of collecting taxes. However taxes will not become deliquent until the first Monday in January. In response to a call, a number of citizens met at Enterprise hall last night to devise means to secure the town from extermination by fire. John Fischer was called to the chair, and after some discussion it was decided that the most important matter to be transacted was to secure a large water supply. Accordingly a committee composed of P. A. Clarke, C. Kilmer, C. Mossemann and P. Richards, were appointed to ascertain the cost of constructing three cisterns in various parts of the town. The committee is requested to make its report on next Saturday night. Mr. Fischer stated that he would contribute brick sufficient for a cistern near the corner of Los Angeles and Centre streets. 50 Years Ago While Johnny Cadman was turning upon the horizontal bar at the Turner's gymnasium on Monday, he fell, breaking both arms. Ed Morgan has returned from Twenty-Nine Palms where he went several weeks ago. He reports two of the heaviest rainfalls in 20 years. Ed returns in time to plunk in a vote for McKinley and prosperity. C. Wagner was in town from Fullerton on Saturday. He expressed the opinion that the Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad will be in Placentia before many months. Mrs. John Hart of Los Angeles was the guest several days during the week of Mrs. Ernest Brown-ing. Frank Gates returned some days ago from the session of the Grand Foresters at Santa Cruz. The boys took a straw vote for president on one of the excursion trains and the vote stood as follows: McKinley 169, Bryan 69, Debs 5. On another train the vote stood: McKinley 133, Bryan 49, Debs 7. Frank says the state is good for McKinley by 20,000. 25 Years Ago That Anaheim is exceptionally free from crime, the per capita percentage of arrests for criminal offences being less than that of any other city in the county and probably in Southern California, was the statement made by Chief of Police John Martin in a talk before the Anaheim realty board. The bulk of the police work here, he said, is in the traffic department." Grand Chancellor Frank P. Merriman and Robert G. Louche were visitors at the meeting of the local Knights of Pythias lodge Monday night. The next Southern California Pythian convention may be held here. The North Korean-Manchester area is an ideal one for Nations cooperation—if M would permit it. Reason is that Japs, which once conquered both Korea and Manchuria, developed power and industry without international aid, just as Grand Coulee Bonneville dams serve states, regardless of state aries. Seven major are reported on the Yalu river between Manchuria and Northeast Asia. The Suiho dam, one largest in the world, is 337 high, 2,788 feet long, has anervoir 40 miles long and covers 700,000 kilowatts of power. Another dam, Mamposhin, ers 234,000 kw. The total when completed, will produce 000,000 kilowatts and will industries as far south as Arthur at the southernmost of Manchuria. Two other ervoirs are south of the river, wholly in North Korea; ritory, and about 20 miles of the present U.N. front. About the time U.N. troops proached these reservoirs Chinese troops crossed the. The only possible way power projects can be done is under some form of Nations control, since they cited in and supply power countries. NAMES DATE COWS CHHAMPAIGN, Ill.—UP) Rhode, University of dairyman, offers cattlemen easy way to remember their cows. His formula is to call all born in one year with names ing with the same letter—Amber for all heifers born in Bonnie, Barbara, Belle for born in 1951. And so on the alphabet through 1975. WASHINGTON—The final decision as to how far the Russo-Chinese alliance will go toward out world war will depend largely on one factor—how many atomic bombs we have, compared with the number Russia has. The preponderance of atomic weapons in our favor continues to be the most reassuring thing in the otherwise unhappy international picture. For definite information has been obtained that Russia has been able to manufacture only 24 atomic bombs and is making them only at the rate of two per month. On the other hand, the American stockpile, while a secret, vastly greater. Furthermore, our rate of production is much faster. This superiority of atomic strength has been the main factor interfering the Soviet from world war up to now, and the changes it will continue to be a deterrent in the future. It is also why Russians have adopted the policy of wearing down American resources by wars of attrition in which satellite nations, not the army, do the fighting. In brief, it is likely that the emlin will not risk a major war which Russian troops must do battle and in which Russian cities are exposed—until there is a balance between our atomic stockpile and Moscow's. Guarding the President Until the recent attempt on his life, President Truman had given little thought to his personal safe-He once told my assistant, Ed Blumenthal, that he had figured out what he would do if an Until the recent attempt on his life, President Truman had given little thought to his personal safety. He once told my assistant, Ed Blumenthal, that he had figured out what he would do if an assassin came into the room. Most assassins, he said, would expect the president to get under the trunk, but he was planning to release things and attack the attacker—just as Andrew Jackson was when attacked in the halls of Congress. When last week's shooting started, Mrs. Truman rushed into the president's bedroom where he was napping, to him a Secret Service man was wounding on the street. Actually she mistook assassin Colony for a plain-clothes man. The Secret Service man was in front of Blair House at the time of the shooting, the others were in their eating lunch. The White House police, which bore the brunt of the attack, are under the Secret Service. The Secret Service have been under some criticism in recent years for having some partially political. Maj. John Harry Vaughan intervened in the early days of the Truman administration, fired Mike Reilly, who operated under Roosevelt, and gave the impression he wanted to run the service. This would have been tolerated in the old days of Chief William Moran. Later during the Senate five-perpetrator probe, Reilly was hastily hired and given a $10,000 job at the Interior department. (He now too much about how the Secret Service gave a special pass Vaughan's friend, John Mara, and about other political re-pulling.) Despite occasional politics, however, the Secret Service does a good job. Problem for U.N. The North Korean-Manchurian war is an ideal one for United Nations cooperation—if Moscow could permit it. Reason is that Japs, which once controlled Korea and Manchuria, deprived power and industry readless of international boundaries, just as Grand Coulee and Yoneville dams serve several states, regardless of state boundaries. Seven major dams reported on the Yalu river between Manchuria and North Korea. Oblong Views FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO · HUNTER (The Poor Man's Drew Pearson) THE ONLY MOVIE I remember which starred that great actress Helen Gahagan Douglas was a fantastic and highly imaginative production called "She," which was on the screens in about the mid-30's, if memory serves right. Locale of the picture was in some wild and inaccessable place like the mountains of Tibet, where a beautiful empress ruled a "lost" world. Although appearing to be quite young, this queen (played by Mrs. Douglas) was according to the story, actually about 750 years old. Her eternal youthfulness sprang from a magic flame which she had to step into every once in a while to keep the blood of youth flowing through her veins, and radiant beauty emanating from her face and frame. After all these years I have lost the thread of the story; but the climactic scene of the film was a masterpiece, and stands out vivid and clear. In this monumental scene, something goes wrong with the magic flame (due, I believe to some transgression against the gods on the part of the empress) and by means of clever trick photography, the empress is transformed in a matter of minutes from a beautiful young woman to a hysterical, palsied and shriveled 750-year-old crone. That ends the story. Could be, however, that this scene was repeated at Mrs. Douglas' home sometime around midnight Tuesday when the Nixon returns really started coming in. Colony Quips The propaganda line, intended to scare the growers, about frozen concentrate being what it is we thought that an article which appeared in the Orlando, Fla., Morning Sentinel a few days ago and written by one of the best informed citrus authorities down there, Jack Gurnett, would be of great interest to all California growers. The tremendous job this great newspaper is doing for the Florida grower is simply astounding to us here in California. We have no writers who can even come close to the all-around standard of Jack Gurnett in the Florida industry. Taken as a whole the job done by California newspapers for their citrus industry is pitiful. Result: California shippers get by with murder. You know what our biggest shipper, the Exchange, did with its "cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid last year. Do you suppose that an informed group of growers would have let Mr. Wilcox get by with something like that? Not by a jug full. But our growers are just beginning to wake up and become informed. The false prophets, with their axes to grind, are being found out. And it will not be long until the anvil chorus comes up to its crescendo or sumpin. But you know what we mean. There had better not be any more "cheaper fruit" contracts with anybody. Mr. Wilcox's shelter may be bombproof but it is not growerproof! You understand? Before we start on Jack Gurnett's article we want to call your attention to one fact about frozen concentrate: The most astounding fact about frozen concentrate is increased—the concept to the higher level. "In contrast to meeting of Florida virtual directors, where a packed house in Citrus Commission yesterday's audience of three newsmen employes, one Murdock and an unidentified who sat through showing of slide graphs.

Reason is that the Japs, which once controlled North Korea and Manchuria, deprived power and industry readless of international boundaries, just as Grand Coulee and Oneville dams serve several sites, regardless of state boundaries. Seven major dams are reported on the Yalu river between Manchuria and North Korea. The Suiho dam, one of the largest in the world, is 328 feet high, 2,788 feet long, has a reservoir 40 miles long and delivers 1,000 kilowatts of power. Other dam, Mamposhin, delivers 234,000 kw. The total system, even completed, will produce 2,000 kilowatts and will operate industries as far south as Port Arthur at the southernmost tip Manchuria. Two other reservoirs are south of the Yalu River, wholly in North Korean territory, and about 20 miles north of the present U.N. front. It was out the time U.N. troops approached these reservoirs that Chinese troops crossed the border. The only possible way these water projects can be operated under some form of United Nations control, since they are located in and supply power to two countries. MES DATE COWS CHHAMPAIGN, Ill.—(U.P.)—C. S.,ode, University of Illinois Jayman, offers cattlemen an easy way to remember the age of their cows. His formula is to call all calves born in one year with names starting with the same letter—Alice,uber for all heifers born in 1950; Janie, Barbara, Belle for those born in 1951. And so on down the alphabet through 1975. IT IS NOT VERY sportsmanlike to kick these candidates around when they are down, but this department can't let Jimmy Roosevelt off without at least a pat on the wrist. One of his more implausible ideas, which he used as a vote catcher, was an atomic-war defense plan calling for the mass migration of the California coastal population to such bleak places as the Mohave desert and the wildernesses of Arizona and New Mexico. Remaining on the coast would be only those absolutely necessary for defense and war industries. Jimmy's idea was to set up vast camps where the displaced citizens would live in barracks. However, they never went into the astronomical expense of such a scheme. Nor did he say where the money would come from. A better idea, perhaps, would be for us all to stay here and let Jimmy head for the desert (which he may have already done since Tuesday). MONTREAL (U.P.)—Medical Research has proved that tuberculosis of the lungs may be caught in other ways than by breathing in the germs, Dr. Raoul Kourilsky, French specialist, said in an interview here. He mentioned cases where infection spread from a hand injury.

Before we start on Jack Gurnett's article we want to call your attention to one fact about frozen concentrate: The most astounding fact about frozen concentrate is the increase in consumption of the Florida product in the Pacific Coast states. California, Oregon and Washington have shown an increase of 687 per cent in the last year. Do you like that, Mr. California grower? Right in your back yard, too. How does that make Mr. Wilcox, Mr. Prizer and Mr. Turner look, hey? That increase was 687 per cent in your own back yard, Mr. Grower. Here is the article by Jack Gurnett and we suggest you cut it out for future reference; it was headed. "More stores handle wonder product; Frozen concentrate sales set new mark." They might have added: The California fruit growers exchange to the contrary, notwithstanding. Here it is: "American housewives set a new all-time record for the purchase of frozen orange juice concentrate during August, buying 1,308,000 gallons at an average price of 25.7 cents for a six-ounce can, while the distribution of the cinderella product was considerably broadened in the same period."

The Challenge On May 13, 1917, the three children took the rock or sheep to a new owned by Lucy's family in the Cova district. While they were at play, they were startled by a bright flash of light. The daughter than the sunshine in which they were playing might be lightning signalling a storm, they shouted down the slope to gather the family and save them inside there was another flash and they began to run. A little further on, they stopped for they were compulsively by a light whose influence bewildered and almost blinded them. Just a few feet to their right, above a three-foot high, holy-like tree, called the azanneira, and in the center of the radiance stood a beautiful lady. She seemed to the children to be very young, perhaps seventeen years old, age, and was composed entirely of light of varied colors and intensity. Her dress was formed of waves of vibran white light, giving the impression of lengthwise pleats without being so. She did not have a belt or sash but there was a line at the waist, which was caused by a definite break in the waves of light at the waist, which was caused by a definite break in the waves of light at the waist so that the folds of the upper pleats meet the furrows of light between the lower pleats. The dress reached to her feet, which rested tightly on the top leaves of the azanneira. The Lady did not resemble any picture the children had ever seen or the Blessed Virgin. The Lady's Words The children stood entranced by the sunlight God may send you so that you may offer repaition for the sins that originate and may obtain the conversion of sinners." "Yes, we would like to do that," Lucy answered eagerly for all three. "Then you are going to suffer a great deal but you will be strengthened and comforted by the grace of God." The joy of friends and Jacinta was so overwhelming and they were talking so freely that Lucy feared they would want to tell everyone about it. On the way home, she cautioned them that what had happened was too holy for them to go around talking about, and nobody would believe them. They promised not to tell anyone. The Secret Gets Out But how could Jacinta keep from telling her mother about the Beautiful Lady! Her heart was too consting with joy. As soon as she saw her mother, she ran to her and said at once: "Mama, I saw the Blessed Virgin at the Cova today and she said that I am going to heaven and she wants me to say the Rosary every day." The Story Spreads The story spread through the vicinity and people were talking. Many laughed: "What won't youngsters think up!" Some were resentful of the religious implications: "It's sadul. Those children should be punished for telling such lies." Others were insinuating that the parents themselves were encouraging a pious fraud or monetary gain. Lucy's mother consulted the pastor, Father Manuel Ferreira. creased — the concentrate went to the higher level. "In contrast to Wednesday's meeting of Florida Citrus Mutual directors, when there was a packed house in the Florida Citrus Commission auditorium, yesterday's audience consisted of three newsmen, two FCC employees, one Mutual attache and an unidentified spectator who sat through part of the showing of slide charts and graphs. The rest of the concentrate story will appear tomorrow. Mail Bag To the Editor: We have been hearing comments concerning NTG's (television m.c.) effort to help publicize the Hallowe'en Festival in Anaheim. What's it all about? Jackie Hatfield Carol Steele To the Editor: I read Mr. Heinze's letter to the editor taking a pot shot at NTG. However, we don't see the high school paper.

By Dick Syverson The "coronation" of the queen at the Anaheim community Fair last Sunday night at LaPalma should have been an impressive event. It wasn't. And most of the ineptitude of the occasion was due to N.T.G., television "star." That gentleman genially opened the program by bragging about a show he had put on in San Francisco; by complaining about the smallness of Anaheim and the difficulty he had finding it; and by making uncalled for cracks about one of the girls. Then he introduced the contestants, each of whom had been working for the honor of being up there on the stage, and ridiculed The Story Spreads The story spread through the vicinity and people were talking. Many laughed: "What won't youngsters think up!" Some were resentful of the religious implications: "It's sinful. Those children should be punished for telling such lies!" Others were insinuating that the parents themselves were encouraging a pious fraud or monetary gain. Lucy's mother consulted the pastor, Father Manuel Ferreira. She was lying. "And it's the first time, too. I don't know what has got into her outfit I'll stop her. She's bringing talk and disgrace on the family." At first she endeavored by curses and promises to make Lucy contradict herself, then argued with her, accused her of lying, and ordered her to go to all the neighbors and tell them that she had made up the story about a Lady from heaven. But Lucy said that she could not say she did see her. Her sisters joined in the mother's threats of punishment. Finally Mrs. Dos Santos took up a stick and applied it. The Lady had said: "You will suffer much." Crying and miserable, Lucy prayed: "Offer this in reparation for sin and for the conversion of sinners." And most of the ineptitude of the occasion was due to N.T.G., television "star." That gentleman genially opened the program by bragging about a show he had put on in San Francisco; by complaining about the smallness of Anaheim and the difficulty he had finding it; and by making uncalled for cracks about one of the girls. Then he introduced the contestants, each of whom had been working for the honor of being up there on the stage, and ridiculed them by telling a few jokes that would have been considered more proper (although not very funny) in a barroom. This was followed by the presentation of each girl with $25 and a corsage. During these proceedings, N.T.G. tossed off a few more offensive remarks and wasted everybody's time by making fun of someone in the front row. By the time the "coronation" was over, most of the girls were embarrassed, angry, and felt a bitter dislike for the television mogul. For example, here is what some of the girls who were contestants thought of Master of Ceremonies N.T.G.: Helen Weir—"A very vulgar and embarrassing man who did his best to make a fool out of himself." Joann Faust—"Too forward and wolfish an old man." Jo Ann Wood—"Too fresh and forward and he seemed to take delight in embarrassing people." Jo Burdick—"Radical in his ways." Janice Pullman—"Just plain sickening, and far too forward." Joan Hanson—"Embarrassed the audience too much." We can only fervently hope that future queen contestants of future Anaheim Fair and Festivals will not be subjected to this type "coronation" again.
