Anaheim Gazette by JOHN S. NEUBAUER IN MEMORIAM—Troubles of this earthly existence pressed heavily on the broad shoulders of Gillbert (Leapin) Baker, the 31-year-old Anaheimer who died in the Los Angeles General Hospital Sunday. He was a sensitive individual who often pondered frail man's inequalities and fretted about man's injustice against his fellow man. He was an athlete with championship potentialities. The unhappy youth found the going extremely tough in a rough-and-tumble world. He wanted to bask in the sportlight, but fate denied him that honor because he played with some of the greatest athletes of his day. Though life was good to him in a way, life was a continuous struggle against which he—or anyone else—could not win. Anaheim will miss Leapin' and his free and easy smile. Anaheimers will not forget him quickly. PROFILES—Frank Schweitzer, Kwikset's latch department foreman, who overcame a severe handicap to become one of Anaheim's best precision workmen.

Men like Frank Schweitzer are to be congratulated and honored for their perseverance, industry and determina- Gasoline Use Jumps in State SACRAMENTO — Heavy increases in the use of gasoline were announced today by State Controller Thomas H.

SA Players Plan 'Light Up Sky' Moss Hart's gay contemporary comedy, "Light Up the Sky," opens the 1950-51 season for the Santa Ana Community Players when the curtain rises at the Ebell auditorium Thursday, Nov. 16. Under the direction of Gladys Simpson Shafer, an enthusiastic cast will be seen in the "story back of producing a play." Heading the players for the opening event is Virginia Jones, a newcomer to Santa Ana theatrical circles, playing the role of a temperamental stage star. Author of the play within a play is Benny Turner, while George Busdiecker takes the part of the producer. John Brown is the "angel" whose skating wife, Elinor Schmidt, provides many a chuckle during the evening. Vivian Griset, Lulu Brackett, Bill Beeman, Joe Bell and Harry Brackett and Wesley Havermale complete the lineup.

Ray Starbuck, well-known labor coordinator, is under the weather. Pasqual Ramirez is recovering from an auto crack up in Wilmington. The friendly little fellow is a refinery worker—an expert in his line. Sam Hilgenfeld, the Anaheim mortician, was in business in Brea and Buena Park before he came to Anaheim.

PEPPER FETCHES BOOM-PRICES SINGAPORE — (AP) — Malayan black pepper is fetching boom prices in Europe owing to a world shortage and insufficient production to cope with demand.
