A sickening crash... death Maybe you would think the Gazette staff is getting used to automobile accidents, what with crash pictures flowing into our offices—and many of them getting into print. But you are wrong there. We actually are horrified by them. Because each new picture seems a little worse. Those pictures arouse a great deal of comment. Deadly serious comment. People tell us they have never had really forceful reminders of automobile driving hazards until the Anaheim Gazette began printing pictures of accidents. It brings the subject close to horrible. Well, we don't want to print them. But, we honestly feel—and law enforcement agencies support us—that the printing of such photos MAKES PEOPLE THINK WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO THEM. We feel that if just one person is constrained to drive more carefully because he has been horrified by accident pictures, then the pictures have served a terrible but useful purpose. All we can do is advise you to look at accident pictures with one thought uppermost in your mind: WASHINGTON—It was piled a fluke that led to the A. Truman conversation—one of most important conferences Potsdam. Regardless of the incident inception, however, lomats agree that the conviction has long been needed bring greater synchronization traditional British-American friendship. The fluke was the president off-the-cuff statement that were considering dropping atomic bomb and the infestation that General MacArthur had given a free hand as to whether should drop it. This statement, made a morning White House conference, hit the Brush House of Commons late afternoon and left British leaders gasping. They have increased misgivings about MacArthur, and were aware of the manner in which he had maneuvered around State Department proposals keep U. N. armies away from the Chinese dams and the Mongolian border. British labor leaders did then know that the president made his atom-bomb statement reply to oral newspaper quote and that it was not a care considered statement. Finally they did not know that the But you are wrong there. We actually are horrified by them. Because each new picture seems a little worse. Those pictures arouse a great deal of comment. Deadly serious comment. People tell us they have never had really forceful reminders of automobile driving hazards until the Anaheim Gazette began printing pictures of accidents. It brings the subject close home when our own community newspaper bespeaks accidents so much. It behooves us to be ultra careful on the highways; and, to always "drive the other fellow's car for him." It is the only way to survive on the Highways. Yesterday the Gazette printed a photograph of a sickening automobile accident on Orangethorpe ave. Myles Bradley, the Gazette picture editor, arrived on the early morning scene before the wheels of the upended and smashed death automobile had stopped spinning. Bradley did his stuff. He came up with a picture of the car with the victims pinned in death. You might think it would be a good idea not to print such a IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago When hotel men visit the Anaheim Gazette they carry a cold lunch in their pockets with which to appease the appetite of the hungry editor. That paper will never starve: — Santa Barbara News. The News jumps at conclusions without mature reflection. We said that the steward of the hotel knew what was good for a printer's stomach and always brought some with him when he visited us. Now, we put it to the News man: What is good for a printer's stomach? Would a cold lunch satisfy its yearnings? Would bread and cheese fill the vacuum in the intestines of the modern printer? Besides, cold lunches are not generally carried in a quart flask. of Fred Smith. Engineer Lewis appeared before the board and pointed out defects in the specifications submitted by the Herford Co., for the new high-pressure boiler to be installed at the water works. Trustee Dickel reported that he had been in conference that afternoon with Mr. Chynoweth relative to a number of ordinances to be drafted. Mrs. Schauman tripped over a rug in her room yesterday and fell breaking her right arm above the elbow. Dr. Bickford set it and she is getting along all right.

British labor leaders did then know that the president made his atom-bomb statement reply to oral newspaper quorum and that it was not a care considered statement. Find they did not know that the president was in the process of issuing a clarifying statement—were three hours later. British Labor Rebels By accident, it happened that the Truman A-Bomb state hit the House of Commons due a major foreign policy delay with 83 labor members led Tom Driberg and Ian Mike of labor's national executive committee proposing high level confession between the east and west by taking any further decision Korea. Simultaneously came a speech by Anthony Eden demand conferences between Long and Washington, plus a Long Daily Mail editorial gouging Lee with the taunt that China would have been half-across the Atlantic were prime minister. It was in this atmosphere extreme criticism from both servalives and labor that P Minister Attlee was shown first Truman statement indicating that the dropping of the A-b was up to MacArthur. At about 100 conservative members of parliament left the chambers and signed a petition to Church stating that if the United States dropped the bomb Britain should pull out of Korea. These are some of the facts behind Attlee's trip which wanted to put before Truman. Note—Three hours after first Truman statement on the bomb, came a clarifying W House statement that under law only the president can authorize use of the atomic bomb that no such authorization been given to MacArthur.

Hawley of the Los Angeles Star passed through town last night on his way to San Juan Capistrano. We are informed that a man who has had considerable experience in the oil regions of Pennsylvania has recently purchased two hundred acres of land at San Fernando and ordered extensive machinery from the east. 50 Years Ago The board of city trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present trustees Helmsen, Dickel, Schneider and Weisel. Trustee Dickel reported auditing demands against the city for labor and one of L. E. Miller for supplies. Amount allowed $65.72. Trustee Schneider reported the graveling of Chartres st., from Los Angeles to Lemon and 300 feet of water pipe laid to the home of ordinances to be drafted.

Frank Baum has returned from Sunrise City, Alaska, after an absence of three years. He finds the weather warm as compared with that in the north. The thermometer frequently going down 15 to 20 points below zero. He is uncertain whether to remain here or return to the goldfields. 25 Years Ago With the Christmas holidays practically at hand, dry agents of Southern California are of the opinion that Orange county will be the scene of many attempts to smuggle liquor into the United States and plans are now being laid by Sheriff Sam Jernigan to block the traffic as much as possible.

Trucks are used by bootleggers in transporting shipments from boats to Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Elliott and young son were in a collision on Telegraph road, near Los Angeles Tuesday and as a result Mrs. Elliott is in a hospital suffering from serious injuries. Bobbie, the three-year-old son received some minor cuts and bruises, but Mr. Elliott escaped without injury. Coal Oelke was given judgment in Superior Court against R. J. Binkley for $659.25 on a note. Coffee and Defense It may seem a long way to tie a coffee investigator staged by a senator from Iowa and this country's prepared for war; yet there's a connection just the same. The Senate investigation, started by silver-crested, likeable Gillette of Iowa, delved into increased coffee prices and spatulation. Insofar as it dealt with coffee manipulation by the chain grocery stores and the New York commodity market, the probe was justified. However, when blamed Latin American growers for price increases, it like balancing Iowa corn farm for the increased price of corn. Thus the injustice of Gillette probe, which made headlines Latin America, was. The big break the communists ever had south of the Rio Grande. It turned millions of hitherto friendly Latinos very sour indeed. Because Latin American growers, like the farmer of Kansas and Nebraska, had suffered extremely lean years prior to the war. And the chief reason for increased coffee prices was identical with the reason for increased price of American milk corn, wheat and cotton—namely that the world is consuming more. Anyway, the State Department agast at the harm done our Gillie coffee probe, placed all the fights before the Senate committee Forthright Assistant Secretary Edward Miller warned that WASHINGTON—It was partly Luke that led to the Attlee-man conversation—one of the most important conferences since Dam.

This statement, made at a morning White House press conference, hit the British house of Commons late in the afternoon and left British labor leaders gasping. They have had increasing misgivings about MacArthur, and were fully aware of the manner in which he had maneuvered around the Department proposals to drop U. N. armies away from Chinese dams and the Man-rian border. British labor leaders did not know that the president had his atom-bomb statement in to oral newspaper queries that it was not a carefully ordered statement.

We Need Latin America But Gillette was stubborn. He had the support of 'Cotton Elmer' Thomas of Oklahoma, chairman of the Senate Agriculture committee and he stood pat. What Gillette didn't figure on, however, was that Washington Merry-Go-Round exposures of Thomas' speculation in cotton, lard and eggs would defeat him at the polls. Now that Thomas has been defeated, Senator Gillette is without a friendly committee chairman, and new Chairman Ellender of Louisiana plans to abolish the coffee-probe committee. Oblong Views FROM AN'EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER (The Poor Man's Drew Pearson) LIFE MAGAZINE has again got itself snared in the pitfall of prognostication. Perhaps you will recall the first time that magazine made a fool out of itself by publishing a picture of Gov. Dewey and his wife on a ferry at San Francisco enroute across the bay to Oakland. It was a full-page picture. I forget what the cap Colony Quips Now let us take up one little inference that has been given much impetus by the propaganda machine in the Kremlin, as that great throbbing heart of the major handler of California citrus is known to certain less devout elements of the same industry. We hesitate to use the word "competing" so the "certain less devout" will have to do. We think the silliest thing the citrus shippers of California do is try to blackjack one another in an effort to get the other guy's growers. That is from the growers point of view it is silly. Not from the "hired help's" point of view, however. They want more boxes so the same retain will pay THEM more moola without having to increase the take from the grower. The grower might get madder than he is right now. Of course, it would be vulgar and intemperate to suggest that the overhead be cut when the fruit load goes down. But the grower is easily handled. Just scare him, give him the fast shuffle and like the country bumpkin he has been you have him right in the palm of your hand. Even though it is still true that the California valencia orange grower is the most poorly informed farmer on the ins and outs of the way his crop is handled, sold and the leavings returned to him, it is still true that he is beginning which produces 300 bovens an acre pays about $150 to grow them 50 cents a box, net or whether the grove is innia or in Florida. If he has one that produces per acre then his cost about 33 cents. A few the capital investment the two states was wid gent. From $300 to $400 a few years ago, buy some best orange groves in but those days have not the wind. Today you $2000 and up for an acid stuff. They also have a control program, a fertilizer gram and other cost it change the whole picture the cost of production into. But all that should be moment to the California He should be a lot more ed with the money than organization, of his, put pocket. He should be closer to it so it will harder to mislead him. words the grower should his business to know more his business. If you go mean. When "volunteer" talked about does the grower think of anything except a restricted ship order to get him a lot money? Very few do. Volume prorate has been tool in the hands of me think have done a poor the California grower. Should be aslamed of they go blithely on tall things calculated to inj grower and keep him a puppet. Coffee and Defense may seem a long way behind a coffee investigation led by a senator from Iowa this country's preparedness year; yet there's a connection the same. Senate investigation, staged silver-crested, likeable Guy State of Iowa, delved into induced coffee prices and speculation. Insofar as it dealt with manipulation by the big grocery stores and the New Commodity market, the probe justified. However, when it laid Latin American coffee prices for price increases, it was plaming Iowa corn farmers the increased price of corn. As the injustice of Gillette's law, which made headlines in America, was the biggest of the communists ever had of the Rio Grande. It also had millions of hitherto friendliness very sour indeed. Behind Latin American coffee prices, like the farmer of Iowa, has and Nebraska, had suffered extremely lean years prior to war. And the chief reason increased coffee prices was local with the reason for the used price of American meat, wheat and cotton—namely, the world is consuming more away, the State Department, at the harm done our Good Labor policy by the Gillette probe, placed all the facts in the Senate committee. Right Assistant Secretary and Miller warned that Gil- HUNTER and his wife on a ferry at San Francisco enroute across the bay to Oakland. It was a full-page picture. I forget what the caption actually said, but in bold black type "Life" referred to "The next president and first lady of the United States." This was just a few days before Mr. Truman capitalized on traditional American sentimentality for the "underdog" and won himself a presidency. There were admittedly red faces in the editorial rooms of Life Magazine, and in the high levels of the inky tower where its sister publication, "Time," is put together. "Time", too, had published stories referring to Dewey as "the next president." But now, "Life" put itself way out on a limb a few weeks ago by forecasting a mild winter. Published were a lot of photographs of a certain species of caterpillar. According to the magazine, the caterpillars came out this year with an extra broad band of black fuzz around the midriff, sure sign of an easy winter. It is hardly necessary to point out here that the country has been lashed with one of the worst winters in history, and the seasonal bad months are scarce upon us. Seems to me that the erudite editors of "Life" should wake up to the fact that there is no surer way for a publication to lose its readers' confidence than to attempt prophecies on the vagaries of weather and politics. Soothsaying in those two fields should be limited to the observation that politics is here to stay and that we will always have weather. And in Sunny Southern California, needless to say, we'll have nothing but the best in both. grower think of anything except a restricted ship order to get him a low money? Very few do.

If the grower has one that produces 450 boxes per acre then his cost per box is about 33 cents. A few years ago the capital investment between the two states was widely divergent. From $300 to $500 would, a few years ago, buy some of the best orange groves in Florida—but those days have gone with the wind. Today you will pay $2000 and up for an acre of good stuff. They also have a pest control program, a fertilization program and other cost items which change the whole picture when the cost of production is looked into. But all that should be of little moment to the California grower. He should be a lot more concerned with the money that great organization, of his, puts in his pocket. He should be a little closer to it so it will be a bit harder to mislead him. In other words the grower should make it his business to know more about his business. If you get what we mean.
