A-Bomb Survival... The government has come up with its answer to such atomic era questions as: What should you wear if there's danger of an A-bomb attack? What should you do about radioactive dust in your clothes? How soon after an A-attack it is safe to let the cat out? The government's answer to these and a host of other questions appear in its long-promised booklet, "Survival under atomic attack." It's the first official publication to tell the public in plain English just what to do if the big bomb ers. A can opener is one of the hardiest things to have around. 6. Don't start rumors. One false one may start a panic that will cost your life; Beyond these "survival secrets," the new A-bomb defense manual gives a pretty complete course in atomic age living. "Starting right now," it says, "you should go in for 'fireproof housekeeping.' Don't let trash pile up around your house, and always keep it in covered containers." Some other hints: If you work in the open, always wear full - length, loose - fitting, light-colored clothes in time of WASHINGTON — This is kind of column most editors like me to write because it's think-piece, and they don't me to think. They pay me to the inside on cabinet meeting and closed-door sessions, but I tired allegedly crouching uncabinet tables, and being humble I can't help thinking occasional. Recently I've been thinking about some of the discouraging things that have been happen in different parts of the world which we have lost sight of during elections. I've also been dulging in that cheapest of pastimes—thinking about what would do if I were running a country: I've even got two to propose to make things better and am almost tempted to write a letter to Harry Truman. First, however, there are no things happening in Europe haven't hit the headlines which we have missed because we have been so absorbed in late battle to control the war bank of the Potomac. In Italy, a country which helped out to the tune of about a billion dollars a year, big cards are posted on the streets. English: "Get the hell out take your money with you." This means us. Naturally, placards are communist inspired but one-third of the people Italy are communist... As from the communists, Italian... What should you do about radioactive dust in your clothes? How soon after an A-attack it is safe to let the cat out? The government's answer to these and a host of other questions appear in its long-promised booklet, "Survival under atomic attack." It's the first official publication to tell the public in plain English just what to do if the big bomb does fall. It costs a dime and you can get it from the Superintendent of Public Documents, Washington, 25, D. C. A more technical discussion was issued by the atomic energy commission last August. This was also reviewed by the Gazette. The National Security Resources board, which put out the 32 page booklet, plans to distribute millions of copies through local civil defense organizations. The goal: a copy in every American home. Unless you're right under an exploding bomb, the booklet says, you can survive—if you keep your head. But you should know these "six survival secrets": 1. Try to get shielded—in a basement if you can, in a ditch or gutter if you have to. 2. Drop flat on the ground or floor. 3. Bury your face in your arms. 4. Don't rush outside right after a bombing. 5. Don't take chances with food or water in open containment. Beyond these "survival secrets," the new A-bomb defense manual gives a pretty complete course in atomic age living. "Starting right now," it says, "you should go in for fireproof housekeeping." Don't let trash pile up around your house, and always keep it in covered containers." Some other hints: If you work in the open, always wear full-length, loose-fitting, light-colored clothes in time of emergency. Never go around with your sleeves rolled up. Always wear a hat—the brim may save you from a serious face burn. If you have walked through rubble from a ground burst or water from an underwater burst, be sure to change at least your outer garments and shoes. If the clothing is heavily contaminated by radiation, bury it. You should also manage to take a bath or shower. Unless you are careful, some radioactivity is likely to be tracked in by pets. Keep you dog or cat indoors. Usually, radioactivity lasts only a minute or so, though it can linger for minutes or even weeks. But the booklet says the danger from atomic radiation has been exaggerated—the big danger is from blast and burns. Even if you should get radiation sickness, there's a good chance you will recover. In short: "If you follow the pointers above, you stand far better than even chance of survival." IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

He also says that the quality of the wine is superior to previous vintages. Tim Carroll will embark in the nursery business this season. R.

In case of war, Italian defenses would burst like a bubble. It is not pleasant news. Yet we remember this is a nation we depend on to resist the army. In France exists the largest communist party in the world. Though weakened by Marshal Plan and the old tradition of French friends for the U.S.A., the French communist party is still strong enough to stymie rearmament. More important, if war came, the French communists would create a powerful bloc for sabotage and revolt. About 15 per cent of the French army is communist, serving under Vichy officers, and the two dix mix. Result: France could stand up against the red 75 Years Ago Don Mateo Keller estimates that the wine crop of this valley this season will be about 800,000 gallons.

Gooch has a new double spring wagon and he wants to sell it. A brick cesspool is to be built at the Planters' Hotel. It will be twelve feet in diameter. As we go to press the pleasant patter of rain is heard on the roof of the office and the less pleasant splash of water on the paper on which we are now writing indicates that the aforesaid roof is in need of repairs. The rain comes down very sparingly, but the cloudy sky and the painful condition of our devil's pet corn indicates a near approach of very wet weather. Mr. L. Gunther has laid in a large and varied stock of boots and shoes at his residence on Los Angeles street. Anyone wanting a first class article will do well to give him a call. A wagon load of wild geese and ducks was brought into town yesterday. They were readily disposed of at fair prices. 50 Years Ago Thieves broke into the winery of C.

The final dismissal of the action of the Anaheim Union Water company against the Jurupa Land and Water company was made by Judge Trask in the Los Angeles superior court on Monday, on motion of plaintiff's attorney. This suit involved the right to use the waters flowing in the Santa Ana river. The case has been pending for several years. Recently a number of compromises have been effected.

The Marshall Plan, he feels, was a great thing for the factory owner and the government. It rebuilt the big war plants and helped his boss. But what did it do for his wages? They are still low. Actually the Marshall Plan has accomplished its main goal. Without it all Western Europe would have gone communist long ago. But in countries which have not tasted communist rule, some people think the communist experiment might be worth trying. Oblong Views FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER (The Poor Man's Drew Pearson) REMARKS IN THIS department last Thursday were not meant to deprecate that great actress Helen Gahagan Douglas. Fact of the matter is, I have great admiration for her, and no one can truthfully say that she did not campaign at a pace which would have put some men in the hospital. She spent something like $37,-000 on the campaign, driving herself at a killing pace to reach every segment of the electorate. It is surprising that this gruelling without notes, she railed at the Pacific Gas & Electric co. because it was fighting federal dams in the Central Valley; she voiced approval of the 160-acre limitation for farms in that valley; she attacked Senator McCarthy as a smear artist; she supported Harry Truman's foreign policies; and she talked so eloquently and so forcefully on water problems that her audience could envision enough water eventually dammed up in California to supply all seven of the western states. In fact, at one point, an orange rancher from the rear of the house was heard to cry hoarsely: "Help! Help! I'm drowning!" But nowhere in her remarks could a fair-minded person accuse her of preaching communism. However unpopular Helen's program was, despite the hostility of the press, and despite Nixon's majority, she is to be admired for the courage of her convictions, and it is a sorry state of affairs that that ephemeral word "communist" was tagged to her apron strings even before the primary elections. It will stay there, too, probably all through her public life. Such is the peculiar make-up of present-day American politics.

This contract was not coded in California until Though weakened by the small Plan and the century-old tradition of French friendship the U.S.A., the French com-mit party is still strong enough to rearmament.

How long will the valencia grower stand by and see the pro-rate idea prostituted and used to Mail Bag To the Editor: Last week the accent was on youth. Some 500 boys and girls in Orange county stopped to consider what they have accomplished this past year in the 4-H clubs, the largest rural organization in the world. The 4-H clubs are organized groups of young people, who are engaged in farming, home-making and community activities under the guidance of cooperative extension workers and local volunteer leaders. Club members "learn to do by doing." There are 4-H clubs in practically all counties of every state, and in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The 4-H club work is part of the national system of cooperative extension work in agriculture and homemaking in which the United States Department of Agriculture, University of California College of Agriculture, and counties participate. The program is helping to increase farm income, improve standards of living, increase the satisfaction from community life, and prepare young people for the world ahead. The meaning of 4-H—the green 4-leaf clover on the white background, the symbol of 4-H clubs, is closely tied to the purpose of club work. Each member knows the pledge in which he offers his Head to clearer thinking, his Heart to greater loyalty, his Hands to larger service, and his Health to better living, for his Hal Boyle WITH U. S. EIGHTH ARMY, KOREA (CD)—"Big Brother" China crossed over to help out "Little Brother" Korea only after both became communist comrades—and "Little Brother" was losing face. Before both became communist Elr Brother usually stayed at home no matter who was blacking Little Brother's eye. This time China crossed the border not against a nearby bold and natural enemy such as Japan. It went against the will and hope of the United Nations, a new world organization which neither has accepted Red China nor invaded it. A link in the chain of belief by American intelligence officers that communist nations are getting closer tonight in their network of military operations is the escape of the North Korean general staff from South Korea. U. N. forces killed only one enemy general officer in the campaign—at least the only one the enemy has admitted. He was a Lieutenant General King, reported variously to have been a Soviet citizen, a captain in the Soviet army and a high officer in the Chinese communist army. No general of the North Korean army surrendered or was captured. Only one senior colonel and two lieutenant colonels surrendered. None was captured. "move the crop" instead of to raise the price as we, in our ignorance, think its function should be? We have been told that the prorate act is too technical for "phools like us" to even think about. When it comes to things like that we can get on our hind legs and tell everyone, even Mr. Prizer, how terribly bad the experts record is from the growers standpoint. That they could do as bad as they did last season is an amazing record. The crop was short. The sizes were large. Nothing smaller than 288s could be shipped. The income of the country was at a new high. Every big corporation was having its best year. Employment was at a new peak. And then take a look at the average valencia grower's return. The valencia grower of all people. His fruit is the kind that will beat the Florida valencia in the making of the new miracle product, frozen concentrate. The picture gets sadder and sadder from the California angle. Last season Florida hit a new high and California almost hit a new low. Who is to blame? The grower. Who let the thing get out of hand? The grower. Who has taken advantage of the whole thing? The grower's "hired help" and we are afraid it has gone on so far that almost nothing can be done. "Cheaper fruit" contracts signed right under the growers nose and he is told nothing about it. The "cheaper fruit" contract was not announced to growers of the Exchange. It was never mentioned, never explained so the grower could see his return in direct comparison to the Florida grower. This contract was not mentioned in California until this col- The meaning of 4-H—the green 4-leaf clover on the white background, the symbol of 4-H clubs, is closely tied to the purpose of club work. Each member knows the pledge in which he offers his Head to clearer thinking, his Heart to greater loyalty, his Hands to larger service, and his Health to better living, for his club, his community and his country. "To make the best better" is every member's motto. To become a member in California, any boy or girl between the ages of 10 and 21, who has a desire to learn, whose parents are willing to cooperate, is eligible to carry on some farm or homemaking plan of his own as a club project. Both rural boys and girls have a wide choice of agriculture projects open to them. Some of the most popular are dairy, swine, sheep, beef, poultry and vegetable. Homemaking projects include clothing, food preservation and home furnishing. Two new projects have been added this year for boys—tractor maintenance and electricity. While the extension service encourages the boys and girls to own their own animals, they are not expected to spend large amounts of money. Some of the newer projects such as tractor maintenance and electricity do not require ownership. A project is available to every boy or girl who wishes to join the club. Club propects do more than teach new skills. They teach habits of thrift and industry, good sportsmanship, make better citizens, give members a chance to travel to fairs, make new friends, and more than any other organization it tends to bring out individual initiative. Three reasons why members like to belong to 4-H clubs are: they have fun, they learn, and they fatten their pocketbooks. There are no club dues, or outside financial help—each club is self supporting. In Orange county alone 397 boys and girls took part in some judging and demonstration activities. About 83 club members and eight volunteer leaders attended summer camp. 4-H club members preserved 840 quarts and 158 pounds of food. They made 1,365 garments and remodeled 73 others. 4-H'ers produced 15½ acres of crops; cared for 18,625 head of enemy general officer in the campaign—at least the only one the enemy has admitted. He was a Lieutenant General King, reported variously to have been a Soviet citizen, a captain in the Soviet army and a high officer in the Chinese communist army. No general of the North Korean army surrendered or was captured. Only one senior colonel and two lieutenant colonels surrendered. None was captured. There finally were several mass surrenders of troops among the 135,000 taken prisoner. None gave up as units under command of their own officers. The big guns either fled the U.N. advance under orders or later crossed U.S. Eighth Army lines, some in civilian clothing. A few are still trying to do that. In the last world war, high officers of Germany and Japan either committed suicide, were captured in combat, or surrendered with their units. They fought as armies and gave up as armies. Nazi Germany's Adolf Hitler killed himself. Red Korea's Kim Il Sung fled. What is the difference? U.S. intelligence officers believe the difference is that the German and Japanese leaders had to kill themselves on principle or give up through failure because there was no "Big Brother" to offer refuge or help. "They were basically nationalist," is the way one American officer put it. "But the North Koreans have been largely trained in Soviet Russia or China. They were taught by the international communists. If they lost a war in their own country, their goal was to pull back to the nearest communist country and work to begin again. They put communism above country." And, as the defeated North Koreans withdrew to reorganize, the Chinese communists crossed the border to delay the issue. The world thus faces its first big challenge of communism fighting in octopus defense depth. This, say U.S. intelligence officers, essentially is based on one red country backing another red country—with the lines of instructions coming from Moscow. afraid it has gone on so far that almost nothing can be done. "Cheaper fruit" contracts signed right under the growers nose and he is told nothing about it. The "cheaper fruit" contract was not announced to growers of the Exchange. It was never mentioned, never explained so the grower could see his return in direct comparison to the Florida grower. This contract was not mentioned in California until this column had the gall to print a story about it which came from Florida. We were then told it was a "good contract" and that if we knew what was what—well us country peasants did not know from nothin'. It was a "good contract" and the simple fact that the California grower could not produce the fruit for that kind of money return did not hold his "hired help" back one minute from offering the fruit to Minute Maid for that kind of a price. We have heard it said, by smart fruit men, that the Exchange "brass" wanted the by-products market below cost of production in an effort to make their operation look better. This is hard to believe—but how else can you explain selling the product of your boss below the cost of production? What the industry needs is brains. Whatever the cost of brains might be to the grower they would be cheap in the long run. Or short run either, Our great Way-shower; steadfast to the end in his obedience to God's laws, demonstrated for all time and peoples the supremacy of good over evil, and the superiority of Spirit over matter. —Mary Baker Eddy pocketbooks.

Orange county club members also learned how to be more understanding citizens through running their own meetings, discussing their responsibilities and acting as leaders in their clubs and in community activities.
