People in Anaheim who have a little financial savvy say that one of the questions they hear frequently is: "Should I hold onto that "E" bond or cash it?" The answer apparently is that each person will have to decide the answer for himself. It is reported that there is a wide difference of opinion among financial experts the nation over to just new attractive Secretary of the Treasury Snyder's new offer is. Snyder hopes you will hold onto your bonds. Details of his plan aren't announced yet, but he asks what he appears to be offering you. WASHINGTON - Last week went up to the little Peans town where I spent most boyhood, to help dedicate the ginning of a new township brought back a lot of money. It also set me thinking what forms the real fourth of government in this county namely, the small towns orica. Swarthmore boasted 2000 people when I grew up and it still isn't much bigger. The houses are of that early tertiary, Mansard - room solid, a little ugly, but bone heartstones and the heart the people inside are warm. A few things about my have changed in the 30 odd since I moved away—but many. There's a new movie —unheard of in my day. An underpass has replaced the railroad grade crossing with watchman Mike McCariny, the of every kid in town, used to and fume until school was and all the children had herded across the tracks. Some swank new homes been built in the cow pasture and woods where I once traked skunks; but Frank Gettz, the town tax assessor, greeted with the observation: skunk-catching isn't so good here any more, but I see still catching them down. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The San Diego Union has the following comment: The county division question is the chief topic of discussion in Los Angeles. All the city papers oppose it, of course, and equally, of course, the Anaheim Gazette favors it. The Gazette contends against odds, but it makes an exceedingly lively fight and keeps its adversaries busy enough. Preston was accompanied by quite a contingent from our neighboring berg, among them being Pap Lymburner, Mr. White-sides (so-called because his sides are black, being a gentleman of color), Shorty Karton, Bob Raines, "Cunny" Cunningham, Dan McCoy, E. Johnson, Ollie Jensen, Robin Adair Scott, Morris Ray and Billy Alvarado. Others doubt if bondholders will und Snyder's 2.9 per cent interest rate offer attractive — many had hoped for a higher rate as an incentive for government bond purchasing. But others thank that the main tinge isn't the amount or interest you be getting, but just how much purchasing power the dollar will have when you get it back after another 10 years. They are of the opinion that the chances of the dollar's gaining in purchasing power, or even holding its own, are pretty poor as long as the defense program—and the threat of further warfare continue. Many persons have been bitter because the $75 they invested in 1941 would have bought them more in commodities then than the $100 to which they are entitled this year. They see their savings frittered away by inflation. And many million billion dollars worth of these bonds have been cashed in before they became mature. Cash-ins in 1950 exceeded the total of new "E" bonds sold by the Treasury. But other forms of savings—bank deposits, insurance and the like — also have been whittled down in purchasing value by the same inflation, which aims its sharpest blows at the saver, and at those on fixed incomes. Biggest change in Swartham however, is going to be the town hall, for which—with paucity ceremonies — we broke grow. The old town hall, a gaunt, gainly eyesore, caught fire a year, which reminded me maybe the police records burned with it, thereby removed from the clutches of my Senate well-wisher the criminal justice they have been so diligently trying to find. A certain Senator has eagerly digging into my pass-late, and last week an attorney close to the McCarthyites sued up in court and indicated by cross examination of me they were even trying to trample an incident in Reidsville N. C., where, after taking dea Chautauqua tent, I was arrested for taking a sponge bath in murky Southern Railroad yard. But, I was acquitted. This is a story which I every time I go to North Carolina, the last time having been to the North Carolina Press association in Chapel Hill about year ago. I also get humorous letters from Judge Ira Humphreys who presided over the court, and the Rev. William A. Lambert then Methodist minister in Reidsville, reminding me of my wicked past. I have also had kidding minders from Attorney P. Glidewell of Reidsville, who kindly volunteered to defend me who predicted that, if I ever became a public figure, my enemies would investigate me scarcely past. Backbone of America Well, all these memories a 75 Years Ago The San Diego Union has the following comment: The county division question is the chief topic of discussion in Los Angeles. All the city papers oppose it, of course, and equally, of course, the Anaheim Gazette favors it. The Gazette contends against odds, but it makes an exceedingly lively fight and keeps its adversaries busy enough. Sealed proposals for the construction of a steamer to navigate the lake in front of the Gazette office is in order. The schooner "Mary Queen" arrived at Anaheim Landing yesterday morning with 150,000 feet of lumber for Halberstadt & Co. Messrs. Chico Forster and Geo. H. Kimball passed through town yesterday on their way to Santa Margarita ranch. The freight register at the Anaheim depot on Wednesday amounted to over $300. Mr. T. J. Askin of Los Angeles arrived in Anaheim last night. He intends to pass the winter here if suitable residence can be found. 50 Years Ago A great surprise was handed out to the crowd assembled at the opera-house on Saturday evening to witness the boxing match when Prof. Lymburner's 162 pound beauty, Frank Preston, was knocked out in the first round by Jack McCaskey of Los Angeles, weight 155. The hall was comfortably filled with the elite of this city, Fullerton, Brookshurst and the oil wells. The argument was conducted according to the rules of polite society. Preston was accompanied by quite a contingent from our neighboring berg, among them being Pap Lymburner, Mr. White-sides (so-called because his sides are black, being a gentleman of color), Shorty Karton, Bob Raines, "Cunny" Cunningham, Dan McCoy, E. Johnson, Ollie Jensen, Robin Adair Scott, Morris Ray and Billy Alvarado. 25 Years Ago Election of vestry men and trustees to head St. Michael's church, featured the annual parish meeting in the church parlor. The following vestry men and trustees were named: A. Glenn Wright, Henry M. Adams, J. H. Whitaker, Thomas Hill, Arthur Finnegan, J. M. McDuel, H. L. Turton, Thomas Lumsdon, Robert Easton and Ernest Zitzman. Delegates were also chosen to represent the local parish at a convention to be held in Los Angeles. Those named are Miss Margaret Hill, Mrs. Homer Ames Glenn Wright, Thomas Hill and J. H. Whitaker. Officers elected to conduct the affairs of the local vestry are Thomas Lumsdon, secretary, Ernest Zitzman, treasurer, and Arthur Finnegan, assistant treasurer. Officers of the Anaheim Knights of Pythias Lodge will be installed at the next meeting. New officers are: Stanford Kerr, W. M. Kelsey, A. L. Larsen, James Clow, H. H. McIndo, E. H. Hatfield, Charles Harrison, Dr. B. F. Badgley, Stephen Barret, Dan Higgins, Byron Winters, A. L. Pendleton, John Saenger. Well, all these memories are a lot of others came crowding back at that dedication ceremony last week. And among them was the realization that our small towns are the backbone of America, and that if we ever lose our small-town independence, and the community spirit that goes with it, then we might really be in danger of going the way of Russia. The tendency of our modern streamlined nation is to concentrate too much power in Washington. Most people blame Washington for this, though actually part of the blame belongs to home. For, when some towns can't or do not raise enough taxes to build new schoolhouse or pay their teachers, then they come to Washington for federal aid to education. And when states want new roads, they are eager beavers in tapping the public roads subsidy in Washington. So Washington can't be blamed for exercising the power which local communities abdicate. As long as our communities have folks like the Joe Seals; for whom I once delivered paper and the Joe Cellias; who men a pair of shoes as carefully as Michelangelo painted a fresco and the J. Russell Smiths; friends and teachers to mankind, I am not much worried about this country's future. "MIND IF WE MAKE A SUGGESTION?" MILITARY BUDGET OTHER SPENDING HST. Home-Makers' Forum By JOAN 8. WHITE Gazette Home Economist Hal Boyle By TOM BRADSHAW (For Hal Boyle) On The Central Front In Korea UP—At the moment Pvt. Gilbert Hubert is a long way from the little book shop he once operated in the French Alpine skiing resort of Val Disere. Being absent from his beloved shop is not to Gilbert's liking. But it is a separation of his own choosing. Gilbert is a Frenchman—but beyond that he is an ardent believer in the brotherhood of man. That's why he shouldered arms to fight against German and Italian agression in World War II. And that's why he has volunteered to accompany the French detachment to Korea. Back in Val Desere Gilbert Hubert was a man of no little consequence. He was a respected businessman and something of a scholar. Moreover, he loves to ski and in Val Desere there was much skiing. Why does a man like Gilbert Hubert leave his wife, his books and his favorite skis to journey half around the world in search of trouble? "I believe in the United Nations," explains Gilbert. "I came to Korea to fight against the ignorance of so many people." Gilbert's sacrifice becomes all the more remarkable when you examine the schedule of his everyday duties. He is personal orderly to the commanding officer of the French Social events that include the whole family get my vote and there are all too few of them these days... Family night at Katella school was a spectacular success. Two hundred and forty parents and kiddies ate their way through the mounds of food that only a pot luck dinner can supply. Dr. Donald McNassor from Claremont who came to speak about helping children grow to maturity took one look at the prevailing fun and fellowship and decided there wasn't much about raising children that he needed to tell these folks. Nevertheless the grownups enjoyed his talk while the children watched Huck Finn on the movie screen. Good Cooks The pot luck dinner was the idea of Mrs. Merton Landweer who has family interests at heart. Her family numbers six. Mrs. K. Shigekawa, who used to be a first rate pharmacist before she took to full time homemaking, joined Mrs. Landweer in planning the meal. Lucky were the ones who tasted of the crispy, golden brown fried chicken brought by Mrs. George D. Osumi. Mrs. Jack Bell's heart shaped chocolate layer cake seemed almost too pretty to cut. The tables were beautifully decorated by Mrs. Willard Olding. She old wonderful things with long strands of miniatures. And there is quite a story behind it. As a 13 year old over in Germany, Jack learned the art of sausage eating, the genuine German cuisine he went to work at the third knew best. He spent 26 years foreman in a packing plant ing—you've guessed it—saun. That was up in Salem, Ohio. Lately, his boy lives over Glendale persuaded him to Southern California a try. Jack set eyes on Anahiem, headed our city (very understory) and he says he is here stay. It goes without saying that makes every bit of his pork sausage himself. It is a point of view with him. But say—wait till taste the other delicacies, include liver sausage (both fresh and the smoked), Metz sage, Polish sausage, goose sausage, and German style sausage to name a few. If it is made of pork, Jack Rer's pork store has it, and you be sure it is ALL MEAT with cereal added. Hello Mrs. Tom Hill is all settled out Stanton way. She and family came here from Illinois have also had kidding rears from Attorney P.

FILIPINO CHILDREN HEALTHIER TODAY MANILA (P)—A Bureau of Health survey here has disclosed that the average Filipino child today is 10 per cent taller and heavier than 15 years ago; Next time you cook spaghetti make a clam sauce for it instead of the usual meat sauce. You can use the minced clams that come in cans and team them with tomato, or you can add butter or margarine and garlic to them. "I believe in the United Nations," explains Gilbert. "I came to Korea to fight against the ignorance of so many people." Gilbert's sacrifice becomes all the more remarkable when you examine the schedule of his everyday duties. He is personal orderly to the commanding officer of the French detachment, Lt. Col. Ralph Charles Montetar, a four star general who took a considerable reduction in rank to come over. As the commander's orderly Gilbert cooks, sews, sweeps, chops wood and last—but far from least—absorbs the explosive and frequent wrath of the man he serves so well. Life with a front line unit in Korea is not too hard for him to take. For one thing he is used to the sort of cold mountain country he found here. The two things he minds most are the lack of his books and the clothes he must wear at war. He show you some snapshots of Gilbert Hubert in civilian dress, "Maybe," he says wistfully, "we will meet again in a different situation." Ham Loaf 2 lbs. fresh pork 1 lb. smoked ham 1 cup milk 1 cup bread crumbs 1 teaspoon dry mustard 2 eggs Have the butcher grind the pork and ham together. To it, add the other ingredients as listed and shape into a loaf. Put one half cup of hot water into a baking pan and then put the ham loaf in it. Bake for one and one-half hours at 350 degrees. This makes 12 generous servings. For a truly fancy dish, serve it with pineapple, raisin or horseradish sauce. All this talk of smoked ham and fresh pork reminds me to tell you about the new pork store that has opened in Anaheim's Northgate business district. Porky Jack Relmer opened his unique store on Jan. 5 at 742 N. Los Angeles st. Just call him "Porky" because his store handles nothing but pork and pork products—hams, bacon, lean fresh pork and rate pharmacist before she took to full time homemaking, joined Mrs. Landweir in planning the meal.

She old wonderful things with long strands of miniature ivy, an inspiration for this time of the year when flower gardens are nearly barren and looking so poory. 1 managed to come away with a recipe. It is for nam loaf, plump and juicy, with a true ham flavor. This is the way Mrs. F. W. Combs says it is made: Ham Loaf 2 lbs. fresh pork 1 lb. smoked ham 1 cup milk 1 cup bread crumbs 1 teaspoon dry mustard 2 eggs Have the butcher grind the pork and ham together.

(P)—The Irish diet of salt and potatoes is not bad, said R. E. Goodin of Ontario Agriculture Department in a speech here. He said that adding a little milk, cream butter to a potato a food combination is produced that provides every element contributing to health and energy. SLOW ON WHISTLE NEW YORK (P)—Jim Konstyty, the ace relief pitcher of Phillies, apparently enjoys waving his basketball rather than blowing a repeated whistle. Ming his Madison Square Garden debut as a basketball referee, minutes elapsed before Kernell-NYU game. = Colony Quips= By the Gazette Farm Editor YEAR END FIGURES are not as yet available on the volume of frozen concentrate that Mrs. American housewife bought in 1950, but there has been a new record set every month that the product has been in the frozen food cabinet of the grocery store. The rate of consumption is now running well over 2,000,000 gallons a month with only about 20 per cent of families buying it as yet. On top of this is the institutional use which, as yet, is an almost untouched market. When one looks into the future and sees a five million man army it is easy to see that instead of the "carryover" the Exchange has been "viewing with alarm" there never was such an animal. It is the belief of many that they deliberately went out to sabotage frozen concentrate in California, found this policy was bouncing right back in their teeth, turned around, paid $1½ million for the use of "Sun-kist" on cans for five years, and now see that the average grower still sees through their efforts. For their effort has been pointed too much at retrieving the lost grower and not enough at the consumer. Their philosophy is still down the old selfish, bragging alley. THEY STILL try to point the finger of scorn at anyone on the "outside" as it is termed in the most "select" circles. But when you sell your fruit for less money you simply cannot return more to the grower. And if you watch here, long enough, you will see some figures that give the "lowdown" on the juice picture. It is a pitiful sight to hear some growers, who are taken in by the glamor of their "hired help" by such an extent, that they go about, bragging about their "juice fruit" returns and parrot the answers put in their mouths. The pitiful part is that they believe that somehow the Exchange has returned more money for fruit that went into frozen concentrate packed for Minute Maid. By some legerdemain the "cheaper fruit" contract that Mr. Wilcox signed with Mr. Fox, which, we are told, never came before the "big Exchange board", brought the grower back. It is a pitiful sight to hear some growers, who are taken in by the glamor of their "hired help" by such an extent, that they go about bragging about their "juice fruit" returns and parrot the answers put in their mouths.

By some legerdemain the "cheaper fruit" contract that Mr. Wilcox signed with Mr. Fox, which, we are told, never came before the "big Exchange board", brought the grower back more money than the pitifully small price the fruit brought from Minute Maid. Can you imagine that? Some growers BELIEVE it. If you will remember late in last valencia season the Exchange was forced, yes, we said forced, to raise the price of juice fruit to $50 a ton, at the packing house, for fruit having 120 pounds of soluble solids per ton. That meant less than $35 a ton when it got to the grower. That meant less than one-half what the Florida grower was receiving for his valencias at the time the "cheaper fruit" contract was signed. That meant just about 29 cents a pound on the tree for soluble solids. That "cheaper fruit" contract meant less money for the Exchange grower and that's for sure. If that "cheaper fruit" contract did not come before the "big Exchange board" then who is making the decisions? The "hired help"? The "hired help" refer to the Exchange as "your business" meaning the growers'. Who do they think they are kidding? Yet they get away with it and if you are so bold as to call attention to anything then you are a something or other and the "interests" control you. That is what this "great" organization, which controlled some 75 per cent of the industry at one time, says about anyone who even asks for information. They will send you the kind of information they want you to read. They refuse to answer your requests for information. It beatsell what these guys expect their growers to believe. They have gotten away with it for so long that they think all that is necessary is to pile it on higher and deeper. But the old man grower is getting harder and harder to fool. He may even be getting ready to DEMAND money for his fruit. He may even want to know how much the "big" Exchange raised salaries the other day. Who said so? OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER I THINK THAT one of the main causes of lack of unity of purpose in the United Nations is the fact that nobody in the group can pronounce the name of Jawaharlal Nehru, one of the key personalities in the world today. If you pronounced that first name like it is written, you would make a noise like a cocker spaniel growling over a piece of brisket. I have made quite OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER I THINK THAT one of the main causes of lack of unity of purpose in the United Nations is the fact that nobody in the group can pronounce the name of Jawaharlal Nehru, one of the key personalities in the world today. If you pronounced that first name like it is written, you would make a noise like a cocker spaniel growling over a piece of brisket. I have made quite a study of this name, and have done some worrying about it. Nehru is an important leader and it seems a shame that none of us can pronounce his first name. The only way to come close to a reasonable pronunciation of this jawbreaker is to bite down with the incisors on a sunflower seed, at the same time having someone hit you in the back of the head with a heavy book such as Flinchcraft's Guide to Common House Palms. This will cause you to make noises sounding like "JAWAHARLAL." FROM EUROPE LAST week, almost lost in the flood of dreary "cold war" stuff, was a happy little item regarding a proposed scheme to revolutionize the British Broadcasting Company. According to Time Magazine, the British radio audience may soon be treated to commercials along with their radio fare. This definitely will jolly well cause more of a sensation among the British than did the theft of the Stone of Scone. Britons have been spared radio advertising, the BBC's only source of revenue being license fees paid by radio subscribers." Things are so tough over there nowadays, however, that the government-owned BBC is planning to pattern its operations after good old Yankee radio, ushering in a new era of enjoyment for the British radio audience. Now, they will hear the strident voice of the radio pitchmen, the olly blandishments, of the soap opera announcers, those insane singing commercials, maphap even the nerve-grating caterwauling of that midget who shrieks the dubious merits of a certain name-brand of cigarettes. I wonder if they, too will yearn to close strong fingers over his yielding throat and silence that frightful wall forevermore. And those horrific patent medicine commercials one hears in the morning on the sustaining programs at breakfast time—the laxatives, hallitosis cures, the pile remedies and such—they will make old John Bull pause to stare long and moodily into his plate of kidney pie. Those hallowed islands have stood well the cruel buffets of history. The British people withstood World War II's tribulations in a manner which won the lasting admiration of all mankind. They have also borne up under the susterity of the Labor government, and reacted with traditional courage in the Stone of Scone crisis. Yes, they are made of sturdy stuff. But this new menace is liable to do them in for once and for all.
