Anaheim Gazetteer BY JOHN S. NEUBAUER What applies to one sport applies to every sport. Even the very hairs of your head are numbered, fear not therefore.—Luke 12:7. BOX OFFICE—Six months ago it was reported in this column that Marion (Shorty) Hill, the Buena Park girls' softball impresario, was trying to promote another softball alignment which would include the fast, turntable clicking teams of the great southwest. His dream is about to become reality. Indidentally, Little Mary Whitney, we are told, is doing right well at Santa Barbara state where she is taking a physical education course. Don (Bucky) Green, the little lefthanded pitcher didn't get a $100,000 bonus when he signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates, but like people by serving them. Edward Juenemann is an exceptional fellow. He's always cheerful. No wonder — he's boosting Anaheim by boosting the Morales Brothers food products. You're a comparatively newcomer to Anaheim if you don't remember Old Alex's tamale factory when it was back of Leo Sheridan's place of business. In those days, kids like Pat Kavanagh even helped the Morales brothers—Alex, Jr., Richard, Charles and Albert—help Alex Sr. with the chores—such as peeling an onion. And, it wasn't very long ago, either, that Joe Liekhus had a corn patch where Anaheim's fast-growing Northgate industrial plants now stand. Why Joe's old mule grew fat on the bermuda grass that grew wild. BULLETINS — Mrs. Florence Williams told police that her purse—it contained $150 — was Mary Whitney, we are told, is doing right well at Santa Barbara state where she is taking a physical education course: Don (Bucky) Green, the little lefthanded pitcher didn't get a $100,000 bonus when he signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the little fellow has what it takes to win ball games... His father Don Green, a manufacturers representative, is a great baseball enthusiast and a friend of the Mahatma—Branch Rickey, Sr., who undoubtedly will drop in at La Palma Park this spring to talk baseball with Vic Ruedy. CONGRATULATIONS — Today's accolade goes to Mrs. Stella Danker and Bernard and Mary Renstrom, Anaheimers with hearts as big as they are themselves. In troubled times like these, it is indeed a pleasure to sing the praises of honest-to-goodness humanitarians. STATISTICS — For some reason or other there's something fascinating about statistics. That's why people read annual reports and stuff like that there. Coroner Earl Abbey states that 498 people became statistics last year. More than half of these people—54 per cent—died from natural causes; but, 18 per cent, or 89 people, were traffic fatalities ... Nineteen of these were pedestrians; 31 died as the result of two-car crashes and 13 died as the result of truck-auto accidents. Most of these people had something to live for—most of them were in the prime of life. Drive carefully. Do it for your own sake. NEWSIES—Albert Rothaermel is one of those friendly good-natured hombres who learned to BULLETINS — Mrs. Florence Williams told police that her purse—it contained $150 — was taken from her car while she was visiting her daughter. It's always wise to lock your car. Dr. John Truxaw learned that the hard way, too ... Anaheim's able and efficient police chief, Mark Stephenson, is well aware of the modus operandi of the Orange county "pants-burglar." He warned Anaheimers to lock their doors. But what happened? They leave the doors wide open—a virtual invitation to a clever crook. Warren Lichenwalter left his car parked at the side of a lonely country road. When he came back, the car was just where he left it—but it had been stripped of $190's worth of parts. What can the sheriff do about it? Investigate. REMEMBER — Women have their beauty secrets; but men have secret beauties. WOMEN SENATORS ABSENT NEW HAVEN (UP) — For the first time in 10 years, there are no women members in the Connecticut State Senate. Another oddity of the current session is that not one of the 17 Republican members of the chamber is a lawyer, although there are several of that profession among the 19 Democrats. The total coast of the Revolutionary War to American taxpayer was $144,555,642. Hiroshima was three-fifths destroyed in the atomic attack of August 6, 1945. Announcing...

(Gazette photo by Kreidt) He Didn't Sell Daughter for $5, Says Job Hunter SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—William A. O'Brien, who has been job hunting clear across the country and back in the past year, denies that he ever offered to sell his 11-year-old daughter, Shirley, for $10 and a tank of gasoline. But, he did leave her—"just till I got on my feet"—with a Los Angeles service station operator, Cecil Glover. Then O'Brien and his wife and four smaller O'Briens continued north seeking a job. The 35-year-old itinerant sail maker, cotton picker and man of all work but few jobs rushed to the police yesterday. He had read an account that Shirley told Los Angeles police her father tried to sell her to Glover. She said he settled for $5 and the gasoline. Glover had turned Shirley over to the Los Angeles authorities after he heard from O'Brien that his jalopy had broken down in Bakersfield and the family had gone on to San Francisco after selling the old auto. "Nothing to it," O'Brien told the Associated Press. "Glover offered to care for Shirley until I got on my feet. I left her birth certificate with him so he could get her in school because I didn't get a transfer for her from the last school in Phoenix." Last March, the O'Briens turned up in New York and slept in the old auto for several days. When authorities investigated, O'Brien said he had been looking for work. 20 Pensioners Die in Old-Age Home Flash Fire HOQUIAM, Wash., (AP)—Twenty-old age pensioners perished in flash fire that roamed through Anaheim. New Paint Store To Open Tomorrow Dougan Hylton Co., Anaheim's newest paint store, will open for business tomorrow at 224 N.

Proprietors of the baby busi- 20 Pensioners Die in Old-Age Home Flash Fire HOQUIAM, Wash., (P)—Twenty old age pensioners perished in flash fire that roared through rambling frame rest home yesterday noon, and two more were near death early today. The blaze apparently leaped from a basement clothes drying room to the second floor while the 30 aged residents of the home, many too ill and feeble to move in their beds awaiting lunch. Fourteen were trapped in the frames and suffocating smoke that licked and billowed up stairways and air vents to encompass the rear of the building and its second floor and leave it a charred shell. Firemen and volunteers helped others escape the building. Six of those rescued died later, we from burns and one from a heart attack. Citrus Growers To Assemble in AUHS Auditorium The 23rd annual citrus growers' institute for Orange county will be held Friday, Feb. 16 at the Anaheim Union high school auditorium, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. This institute is sponsored jointly by the Agricultural Extension Service and the Farm Bureau in Orange county. The morning session beginning at 9:30 am will feature the most recent information and findings on current citrus orchard problems. The afternoon session starts at 1:30 pm and will bring to the growers, leaders in the marketing and economic phases of the citrus industry. Wahlberg announces that among the topics to be discussed are the New Paint Store To Open Tomorrow Dougan Hylton Co., Anaheim's newest paint store, will open for business tomorrow at 224 N. Los Angeles st., featuring a complete line of Siller's paints, exclusive in Anaheim. Proprietors of the baby business are Kenny Dougan and Eugene "J. R." Hylton. Both men have become intimately acquainted with the paint business during 12 years of employment at Lund and Sons Co., local paint and glass firm. In addition to Siller's paints, Douglas Hylton Co., will handle mirrors, wallpaper, steel sash and glass. A color bar situated in the store will give customers a choice of 216 shades of color. A striking color combination has been used within the store. Walls are of forest green with coral and white trim. Walls of the office are yellow and the floors are red tile. Hylton is practically a native of Anaheim, having come to this city from Kansas at the age of five. He lives at 10851 La Palma st., with his wife Glady's, and their two daughters, Gloria Eunice, 2, and Helen Clair, 8 months. He spent three years in the Army during World War II and holds membership in the local Isaac Walton League. Dougan, a native of South Dakota, also has spent most of his life in California. He served three years in the Army during World War II. His wife, Shirley, will work as office manager in the store. They live at 853 N. Dickel st. Johnny Dougan, brother of Kenny and an ex-rancher, will assist in the store. Harry Gay, 75, Passes at Home Seventy-five year old Harry F. Gay, died last night at the family home, 10591 Orange ave., after a prolonged illness. "Nothing to it," O'Brien told the Associated Press. "Glover offered to care for Shirley until I got on my feet. I left her birth certificate with him so he could get her in school because I didn't get a transfer for her from the last school in Phoenix." Last March, the O'Brien turned up in New York and slept in the old auto for several days. When authorities investigated, O'Brien said he had been looking for work all the way from Los Angeles. Newspaper readers contributed clothes, and money, and gave promises of housing and jobs. Then the O'Brien dropped out of the news until Shirley told her story in Los Angeles. O'Brien said he had located a job at the Mare Island Navy yard, "if this ruckus hasn't killed it for me." HOME-MADE CLEANING PASADENA, U.S.-At 90, Mrs. Minnie Schaeppi still makes her own soap. The spry nonagenarian, who also does all her own housekeeping, gardening, cooking and mending, says she started making soap for home use when she was a girl and has continued ever since.

Government Eases Up Wage Freeze Soft Coal Miners Get $1.60 Boost WASHINGTON (P)—The government today eased the wage freeze to permit all wage raises granted Jan. 25, or before, which apply to a pay period starting Feb. 9 or before. The action was taken by the Wage Stabilization board by the wage freeze. But the regulation says states and other governments which fix the wages of those employees are "expected" to conform to the wage freeze and whatever other policy is laid down by the board. Painter Feels Good Again Hadacol Supplies Vitamins B1, B2, Niacin and Iron Which His System Lacked When a man works hard all day, he has to get a good night's sleep in order to keep going. Take Mr. Tony Wesalick of 1010 Tabor St., Houston, Texas, for example. Up until a few months ago Mr. WASHINGTON (UP)—The government today eased the wage freeze to permit all wage raises granted Jan. 25, or before, which apply to a pay period starting Feb. 9 or before. The action was taken by the Wage Stabilization board by a vote of 6 to 3, with the three industry members dissenting. The new order permits a wage increase of $1.60 a day for about 400,000 soft coal miners which takes effect tomorrow. It apparently does not permit, however, a similar increase to about 75,000 hard coal miners, but Board Chairman Cyrus S. Ching said "we will have to determine that. We don't know the facts of that case." The hard coal contracts were signed Jan. 26, the day after the wage-freeze order took effect. The soft coal contract was signed several days earlier. The regulation does not specifically mention coal, and board officials said at least 50 other contracts, and maybe 10 times that many, are affected by the easing of the wage freeze. The announcement of the regulation and three other wage orders clarifying the wage freeze was made by Ching at a suddenly called news conference. One of the new orders exempts state, county, and municipal employees—but not federal—from the wage freeze. But the regulation says states and other governments which fix the wages of those employees are "expected" to conform to the wage freeze and whatever other policy is laid down by the board. The fact that the industry members dissented in the very first major policy decision did not mean that they would quit the board, they said. They merely thought that wage raise contracts, signed before the freeze order but effective afterward, should be taken care of in a later general order on wage policy. AUSTERITY ORDERED IN FORMOSA TAIPEI (UP)—The people of Formosa face harder times. Living costs are going up continually. Electricity for private homes is provided on a fixed basis and all excess consumed is subject to severe overcharges. The foreigner in Formosa pays through the nose for almost everything. Landlords think nothing of asking $300 to $500 a month rent for a modest little house, rent payable six months or a year in advance. Such conditions, Chinese officials explain, are necessary because the government is short of foreign exchange and is fighting the Chinese reds. Austerity is the order of the day. When a man works hard all day, he has to get a good night's sleep in order to keep going. Take Mr. Tony Wesalick of 1010 Tabor St., Houston, Texas, for example. Up until a few months ago Mr. Wesalick just couldn't sleep, had no appetite, and was bothered with indigestion. Then he heard about HADACOL and started taking it. A painter by profession, Mr. Wesalick says that now he gets up in the morning feeling so rested, and so full of energy that he's almost never tired any more. He eats everything he waits without being troubled with indigestion, and has a wonderful appetite since HADACOL helped overcome his deficiencies of Vitamins B1, B2, Niacin and Iron. Here is Mr. Wesalick's own statement: "I was run-down and I would get up in the morning feeling as if I hadn't slept at all. My appetite was bad, and I just didn't feel like eating, and when I did eat I had terrible indigestion. After a bottle and a half of HADACOL I felt much better. I have now taken about five more bottles of HADACOL and can eat and enjoy everything I want. I sleep much better and feel more rested." (Adv.) Copyright 1951, The LeBlanc Corporation NG THE...
