VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM The Massailers SAMPLE—At dress rehearsal last night, John Simpson, Pete Fort, Phil La Mori and Ernie Huene-meyer struck the Gloucestershire Wassail pose, one of 13 tableaux which make up the forthcoming AUHS Christmas Cantata. The impressive show, open to the public, will be put on tomorrow night at 8 in the AUHS Auditorium. School Board Preps Teacher Salary Boost Preparing itself in case some sort of wage control measure should be clamped upon the nation, the Anaheim elementary school board last night adopted a resolution to govern teachers' salaries in Anaheim for the 1951 and 1952 terms. According to the plan adopted by the board, teachers would remain on the same salary schedule that is now in force, with their regular advances to be granted, and with a cost-of-living bonus to be added. The stipulation was made, however, that the board would have to have enough money on hand to pay for any raises before they would be granted. The resolution was passed by a 2-1 vote, board member Tom Henry dissenting. Henry pointed out that past wage controls have not included the salaries of teachers and he maintained that the board should therefore not commit itself on the salaries. The other expected major question at last night's meeting—the centralized cafeteria puzzler — failed to materialize. The board decided to pigeonhole the whole problem until it could find out if the service was truly desired by parents. In an earlier vote, parents indicated that they were in favor of the plan, but the board decided to remove any doubts before it started any of the purchasing necessary to the installment. AUHS Christmas Cantata Set Tomorrow Evening Anaheim high school music and drama departments combine tomorrow night to present the Christmas Cantata for citizens of Anaheim. Program begins at 8 p.m. in the auditorium. This morning high school students enthusiastically received a portion of the impressive display of singing, staging and tableaux, all under the supervision of Miss Gania Demaree, Bill Cook and Miss Louise Hitt.

(AP) — This Mojave desert town's residents breathed more easily today, in more ways than one. The danger was over, and the air was cleared of potentially deadly gas that mushroomed into the sky in great pink clouds after an explosion of hundreds of tons of chlorinated lime at a Marine Corps supply base near here yesterday. Five hundred persons left their homes briefly after the blast, believed caused by a spark from a bulldozer traveling over a lime supply dump. Two infants were hospitalized at neighboring Barstow and several firefighters were treated for eye and lung irritation. The January pre-induction examination quotas by counties: Los Angeles induction station; Inyo-Alpine-Mono 24, Kern 636, Los Angeles 6013, Orange 376, Riverside 178, San Bernardino 385, San Luis Obispo 170, Santa Barbara 294, Ventura 213.

By The Associated Press Egg prices took a humpty-dumpty spill in many cities this week, but changes in other foods were mostly upward. Beef items, some cuts of pork, canned coffee and several fresh vegetables were higher. The drop in retail egg prices were very irregular across the country. In some cities, like New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the reduction ranged as much as 16 cents a dozen. But in others the declines were much smaller, and in some, top grade eggs at mid-week were still being quoted a few cents above last Friday's levels. At Los Angeles, a spokesman for a large store chain said "eggs are still in very tight supply here, but prices may go down 5 to 8 cents a dozen by the end of the week." One veteran dealer said prices in the area reached an all-time high this week. Several factors confused the egg price and supply situation. Sharp price gains last week were blamed on storms which delayed shipments of eggs to terminal markets, heavy military buying in the midwest, depletion of cold storage stocks, and most of all, brisk consumer demand. Several beef items advanced two to six cents a pound in many stores this week, while pork was generally unchanged to four cents a pound higher, and lamb, veal and poultry held about steady. Several leading roasters of nationally-advertised brands of vacuum-packed coffee marked up wholesale prices two cents a pound, to reflect higher replacement costs of green coffee. Unfavorably cold weather which reduced receipts of fresh vegeta- ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1950 Allies Compress Arrow Fierce Jet Air Battle UN Assembly Approves Cease-Fire NEW YORK (AP)—The United Nations assembly today approved an Asian-Arab plan for a Korean cease-fire despite Soviet bloc warnings that this would not end the fighting. The vote was 52 to 5 with Nationalist China abstaining. The Soviet bloc countries cast the negative votes. The proposal creates a three-man committee. NEW YORK (AP)—The United Nations assembly today approved an Asian-Arab plan for a Korean cease-fire despite Soviet bloc warnings that this would not end the fighting. The vote was 52 to 5 with Nationalist China abstaining. The Soviet bloc countries cast the negative votes. The proposal creates a three-man committee headed by assembly president Nasrollah Entezam of Iran, and directs it to seek a basis for a truce. Entezam deferred naming the committee. Russia's Jacob A. Malik vigorously opposed it as a move to give the United States and Britain a chance to prepare a new attack. Polish delegate Stefan Wierblowski told the assembly the cease-fire proposal would not stop the Korean fighting. This had been assumed by most delegates as a result of the Soviet bloc opposition, but some had clung to a slender hope that the Chinese communists still might agree to a truce. Entezam appealed to the assembly for all your help and support to "avert the danger which threatens the world." Egypt's Mahmoud Fawzi Bey, one of the sponsors of the 13-nation peace move, said he felt frustrated after listening to the communist delegates oppose it. "I hope that those who are hesitating to subscribe to our efforts will realize that public opinion is snowballing against war throughout the world," Fawzi said. "When we vote for peace, every one will know who is building up Continued on Page 5 ‘Honeybear’ Named Boston U.

Higher in most stores were snap beans, good quality broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, eggplant, peas, peppers and squash. Slightly lower were lettuce, carrots, celery and most citrus fruits. The agriculture department forecast a 10 per cent increase in output of citrus fruits for the 1950-51 season, with the crop estimated at around 172,310,000 boxes compared with 156,665,000 last season and the 1939-48 average of 163,477,000. Florida's citrus shipping industry was expected to shut down operations from Christmas Eve through New Year's Day so northern markets can clear up heavy Christmas supplies before new shipments can depress prices. Federal Tax Harvest Begins WASHINGTON (AP)—The government, faced with mounting defense costs, starts its biggest tax harvest season tomorrow. Expectations are for an intake of $16,000,000,000 or more—about 40 per cent of annual revenue—over the next three months. The government can use it. Since this fiscal year began last July 1, it has run about $1,100,000,000 in the red. The big tax season begins with the deadline tomorrow for corporations to make final payments on 1949 income. After tomorrow, the tax spot-light will shift to individuals. They finished 1949 income tax payments last March but in many instances will have something to do about 1950 income taxes.
