That was the pessimistic atti udes of small merchants in the vicinity of Manchester and Lincoln ave. Intersection when they were interviewed by a Gazette reporter last September during the MFY Footlighters to Present Comedy Fare with 'High School Daze' Tomorrow The MYF Footlighters, noted young group of dramatists from White Temple Methodist church, who won coastwide fame for Anaheim last summer during a two-week barnstorming tour of the Pacific Northwest, present their latest dramatic effort on both tomorrow and Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m., in Wesley Hall at White Temple church. The new vehicle is Russ Greenbaum's one act comedy of adolescent emotions, "High School Daze." It is the story of a girl's plans to sabotage the efforts of a campus vampire, and is chock full of hilarious situations. The public is invited. Next month, the Footlighters have been invited to present this same comedy-drama at the Arcadia Methodist church for their young adult club. All funds realized from performances of this production will be given by the redecoration of Wesley Hall into young people to the fund for the an attractive youth lounge. "It has been over a year since we presented a comedy," states Rev. Frank E. Butterworth, pastor of White Temple and director of the Footlighters. "but it is our educational policy to provide various types of plays through which to achieve the maximum development of expression for our youth. We believe that only those who can portray comedy and serious plays with equal conviction can be called true artists." The cast of "High School Daze" includes several veterans of last summer's road-show tour with "The Brother," and also several new faces. The characters: Mary Jo Duncan, Jean Bastian, Hart Hessel, Judy Belle Wicker, Nancy Rail, Loren Herman and Roy Casey. Stage manager is Don Brunmet.

That was the pessimistic attitude of small merchants in the vicinity of Manchester and Lincoln ave. intersection when they were interviewed by a Gazette reporter last September during the height of the Santa Ana Freeway construction mess. At that time trade had dwindled to a trickle for the handful of merchants because of the maze of barriers, cuts and fills patrons had to hurdle to get to the business establishments. How About Now? How have they done, now that the highway is open again? The Gazette sent a photographer out last Friday to take a look with his camera and interview some of the businessmen. What he saw is pictured elsewhere on this page. One fruit stand has failed to open for business again, now that the highway is open. Either his pessimism is continuing on he is waiting to see how things go before he invests again in stock. Another fruit stand is still in approximately the same position it was during the height of the construction—$2 or $3 worth of business per day and no reduction in the rent or drop in overhead of any kind. Try Until Summer "We'll try to stick it out until summer, to see if things get any better," the husband and wife proprietors of the stand explained. "If it isn't any better by then, perhaps we can find someone to buy it who has ideas that will bring in the public in spite of the speed at which they pass this place." A common complaint is the high speed at which traffic moves on the highway, now that it is wide, smooth and divided. "Motorists just don't see these small stands and cafes when they're traveling so fast," the merchants say. No Divider Loss The highway divider doesn't cause as much loss of business as was expected, it seems, since it Keep in Good Humor, Says Tree Trimmer Mr. James D. Singletory, 236 Oak St., tree trimmer for the Superior Co., in Louisville, Ky., thinks that keeping one's self in a good humor is about the most valuable asset a person can possess, and when your job requires personal contact with many different types of people, being good humored is not only being pleasant with one's self, it's an absolute necessity in business. Here is Mr. Singletory's statement: "Before I started taking HADACOL there wasn't a person in the world who could get along with me—seemed like the least little thing would upset me. I was tired all the time and it really affected my work. I had a hard time sleeping—just roll and toss and cat-nap all night long. I didn't eat properly either. Then one day I heard how other folks with the same trouble I had were being helped by HADACOL. I tried it and noticed an improvement after the first couple of bottles. Now I feel good—get along with everybody—I'm not a bit nervous—sleep like a log and appetite—why, I can hardly support myself, I eat so much. Yes, sir—HADACOL is really fine and I recommend it to all my friends." Mr. Singletory was suffering a deficiency of Vitamins B1, B2, Niacin and Iron which HADACOL contains. Buy a bottle of HADACOL, either the trial size, $1.25, or the large family or hospital size, $3.50, and if HADACOL does not help you, your money will be refunded. If your druggist does not have HADACOL order it direct from The LeBlanc Corporation, Lafayette, Louisiana, (Adv.)

Troops cut a narrow passage through snow and rubble last night to bring food and medical supplies to Switzerland's worst hit village of Vals, in a narrow dead-end valley near one of the sources of the Rhine river. Of the 19 persons killed by a monstrous avalanche which crashed down on the center of the village on Saturday, 12 were children. Late last night the bodies of three children still were buried under the ruins of their homes. A common complaint is the high speed at which traffic moves on the highway, now that it is wide, smooth and divided. "Motorists just don't see these small stands and cafes when they're traveling so fast," the merchants say. No Divider Loss The highway divider doesn't cause as much loss of business as was expected, it seems, since it is broken up by a sufficient number of turn-about spaces to allow easy access to establishments on the opposite side of the road. Business has returned to approximately normal proportions THANK YOU FOLKS... for the many expressions of congratulations and good wishes. The response to our opening announcement was so gratifying that we are certain the tremendous effort to offer you.

LEMON—PHONE ANAHEIM 3164 We Give S&H Green Stamps MATH—Following months of highway construction work, the intersection of Manchester blvd. and Lincoln ave. looks like the above, right, a far cry from the scarred, torn intersection of September, 1950. Scars from the construction still remain, however if they aren't visible to the naked eye. The left upper photo shows a restaurant and fruit stand whose economic wounds failed to heal with return of the highway to normal traffic conditions. Photo at left shows one economic casualty that failed to any comeback at all—the fruit stand of H. D. Akerman.

No Divider Loss Highway divider doesn't much loss of business aspected, it seems, since it for the three service stations at the intersection of Manchester and Lincoln ave. One operator explained that business isn't particularly good, but it is normal for the season. "The highway development has made this intersection a beauty for service station operation, and in a month or so, when the seasonal slump cases off, business should really be booming for us," he said. In many cases, formerly steady customers have found new routes by which to reach their destination which by-passed the unpleasantness at Manchester and Lincoln. Now, according to entrepreneurs of the area, they are not returning and one fruit stand owner reports less than half of her erstwhile steady customers have returned. What the future holds for owners in the area is uncertain. Probably the main change is in the exclamation used to express their feelings on current conditions. It used to be "Murder!" Now it is modified a bit to "Mayhem!" HOME CARE—Hollis Fuller, 21, 7641 Acacia st., Anaheim, who contracted polio in July, 1950, has had more than his share of trouble with the disease. After being taken to the hospital and placed in a respirator, he was returned home only to contract pneumonia on top of it. He was returned to the hospital and the respirator. A baby was born to his wife, Della, above, 15 days after he was first admitted to the hospital. She is seen placing hot packs on his back in the home care plan originated in Orange county and now being used widely.

He said state workers haven't had a general pay increase since October, 1948. The committee heeded Legislative Auditor A. Alan Post in adopting the lower figure and shooting the bill on to the upper house floor. It was part of his call for economy in state spending during the national emergency. The 120 lawmakers had other things to think about as they packed up and got ready to go home after 16 days of bill-writing: 1. The George H. McLain legislative initiative to liberalize the aged aid program. Blocked in the Senate it is headed for a decision by California voters. 2. A $1,500,000 appropriation for flood damage repair. The Senate passed the bill yesterday and rushed it to the Assembly for final action today. 3. And over 4000 bills that will be waiting for the legislature when it comes back from the recess March 12. New bills included proposals to: Levy an unspecified tax on vending machine cigarettes. Tighten regulation of health insurance associations to get after bogus operators.

The problems would include steps for withdrawal of all foreign troops, including Chinese, from Korea and withdrawal of the U.S. Seventh Fleet from the Formosa Straits. 3. "The legitimate status of the people's republic of China in the United Nations must be ensured." Rau said he considered this new red Chinese declaration, delivered to India's ambassador in Peiping, satisfied the American and U.N. demand for "cease-fire first negotiations afterwards." U.S. Delegate Warren R. Austin disagreed and termed it "a transparent effort to divide the free world and to . . . postpone, delay, procrastinate." Goodwill Progress 'Surprises' Guests Guests at the regular monthly directors meeting of Goodwill Industries of Orange County Monday expressed surprise at the scope of rehabilitation work being done by Goodwill Industries among the disabled veterans and physically handicapped employees who receive all revenues from the Goodwill operations, above operating costs. Richard Matthews of Santa Ana, Harry Fox, Anaheim businessman and Judge Elwood H. Paddock of Orange, were among guests who said that while they had known something of what Goodwill Industries was doing in the rehabilitation field, their "eyes were opened" by what they had learned by their visits to the plant and their attendance at the coara meeting. John Winterbourne, of River side, formerly of Santa Ana, was one guest who was not surprised at the extent of Goodwill operations. He operated the first Goodwill store and plant in Santa Ana. Los Angeles and San Bernardino executives of Goodwill industries were visitors at the session. Dr. F. H. Blair, executive counsellor and advisor for Los Angeles County Goodwill Industries, reported on national affairs of Goodwill Industries association. While a member of the national association, the Orange County Goodwill Industries is an independent organization.

Lamington volcano probably killed more than 3000 native New Guineans. The External Territories department in Canberra held no hope for the survival of 35 missing Europeans in the area visited by the century's worst disaster in this section of the globe. One Australian official directing rescue work in the disaster district, 80 miles northeast of Port Moresby, estimated the toll of dead and injured at 4000. Others at Port Moresby predicted many of these would later emerge from the jungle into which fright may have driven them. The eruptions produced an "atom bomb" effect, one eyewitness said, and layers of volcanic ash hampered efforts of rescue workers to reach the scene. Airline pilots said an ashen cloud 100 miles in diameter flattened out at 40,000 feet. Ashes sifted one inch deep on the streets of Port Moresby. Lamington began to erupt Thursday. Six major blasts were reported between then and yesterday. Korea War Continued from Page 1 derjets tangled with 18 to 28 MIGS over Sinulju, just across the Yalu river from Manchuria. "There was a real commotion, a real mixup," said one airman. Soon after daylight Tuesday the Thunderjets struck at Sinulju airfield where photographs had showed a number of enemy planes. The enemy jets flashed across the Yalu river from Antung in the sanctuary of Manchuria. For 30 minutes the air battle flamed as the roaring jets streaked from high altitudes to low and swoobhed upwards again at dazzling speeds. "I'll say this for the MIG pilots," one American jet captain commented. "They are damned good and they aren't afraid of us." In a companion raid, 46 F-86 Shooting Star jets screamed down Van Verst Takes Speaker's Award Toastmaster club met last night at Ruby's cafe in Fullerton at 6:30 p.m., with president Lewis Taylor presiding.
