Coming to our attention today is a beautifully printed leaflet published by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Plant Location committee. It is called "Sound Industrial Promotion Pays Off in Anaheim." The leaflet points out that everybody Chamber of Commerce supporters and those who don't support it—gain directly or indirectly by new business units in Anaheim. Here is a list of the gains which go to merchants, distributors, processors, property owners, labor, and citizens: Expanding payrolls. Increasing volume of retail sales. Augmenting demands for professional services. Broader job opportunities. Supplanting lost citrus packing house payrolls (free). or not; or whether we are just agin everything in general, there is powerful truth in those words. And, they show the general trend in California, particularly Southern California. You can't escape it. You shouldn't want to. There is only one thing that could be added to that leaflet. We recognize they didn't want to write a book.) We would have added these thoughts: It is difficult to express the heart and soul, the LIFE of a community, with only words and statistics. WASHINGTON—Almost teresting as the military he revealed — which can told—was the human side Dwight Eisenhower as he the House Armed Service Foreign Affairs committee his recent trip to Europe. Ike impressed Congress with his honesty and his during the closed-door There wasn't a member p Democrat or Republican wasn't solidly in his corner It was over. Probably the best company was paid by articulate Carlson of Georgia. House Services chairman, who open his mouth once during entire meeting. As one Comman remarked, "A guy be good to make Carl, who nates all our meetings," back seat." Eleenhower reported that ropeans generally were "mined" to fight commun with our help, but he said that we should not add "mendicant attitude" to Germany, or any other mast as though they are doing favor by fighting their battles against Soviet agion. "I'm the kind of a guy would rather go down wif flag nailed to the mantle, ing for what I believe in." IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The Express is satisfied from Information received from Sacramento that the County Irrigation Bill will not be passed, and that it is probable that its passage will be opposed by its introducer—Gen. McConnell. The Zanfero of the Anaheim Water Company reported yesterday to that body that the ditches were very much in need of repairs, that the gates were out of order and that a part of the main ditch was filled with sand. The Zanfero was ordered to make the land owner in this immediate vicinity would make this one of the finest places to reside this side of China. We can't help but admire the public spirit displayed by our sister city, Santa Ana—so writes one Orange correspondent. Mr. Columbus Smith has the contract for filling up the low places on Los Angeles street. Center street will soon receive a thorough overhauling. A gentleman from Maine has recently purchased one-half of with our help, but he said that we should not add "mendicant attitude" to Germany or any other nation as though they are doing favor by fighting their battles against Soviet agression. "I'm the kind of a guy would rather go down with flag nailed to the mustache, ing for what I believe in emphasized. Those we are using must show the same stance. Ike also told the closed meeting that Marshal Zhukov former Soviet commander Berlin, was in bad with the Nazi lin, apparently because of a friendly attitude toward war powers. "Back in the days when I him, Zhukov was hand-in-wait with Stalin," Eisenhower said. "But the last time I heard him, he was riding around old Ford that could use a new job." Future of Foot Soldier While like was stressing importance of sea and air power GOP Rep. Carroll Reece of nesses inquired if he wasn't imzing" the importance of foot soldier. "I don't want to be stood at any time as minimizing the responsibility and ability the Doughboy," Eisenhower replied quickly. "No fight ever been won without me. The Air Force and the Navy get the cheers, but the doubles boys get the white crosses the ground. At one point when he felt he was growing preachy, grinned: "If I sound philosophical just remember that I have a college president." But he didn't sound like alege president a moment later, stressing the importance unity with our European Allies he said: "We'd be in a hell of a fix." Then he apologized to Cressswomen Frances Bolton Ohio and Edna Kelly of New York. Along the Potomac-Warth bureaucrats are flocking back Washington by the thousands quarter of a million auditors. The Zanjero of the Anaheim Water Company reported yesterday that body that the ditches were very much in need of repairs, that the gates were out of order and that a part of the main ditch was filled with sand. The Zanjero was ordered to put everything in good order for the irrigating season. We have known some people to utter mournful walls about what is termed a "Santa Ana wind." But the uncomplaining Colorado look with equanimity upon a gentle zephyr which plays freaks like the following: "While the proprietor of the Cucharas sample room was at breakfast this morning, the back door of the establishment was burst open by the force of the wind and his bar and bar fixtures were carried through the front window and scattered over the broad pampas in wild and dire confusion. There was about $10 in currency in the drawer and all was lost." Judge Sepulveda was in town yesterday visiting his old friends. The Judge is the pride of our valley and is always heartily welcomed by friends and acquaintances. A new house is in process of erection on one of the orchard lots of the Strobel vineyard. There is a project on foot in Orange to change the present arrangement of the public plaza to a solid square with streets around it. A little public spirit on the part out admirable public spirit displayed by our sister city, Santa Ana—so writes one Orange correspondent. Mr. Columbus Smith has the contract for filling up the low places on Los Angeles street. Center street will soon receive a thorough overhauling. A gentleman from Maine has recently purchased one-half of Mr. Anderson's place at Westminster for $40 per acre. 50 Years Ago The Southern Pacific company has established a station to be known as Neff, a half mile west of the ranch of J. B. Neff on the Alamitos railroad. The station appears upon a new time card just issued. Mr. Neff will next summer endeavor to secure a siding and will make shipments from that point. Napoleon Hart is confined to his bed by an attack of the prevailing malady, la gripe. Word has been received here of the death at his home in San Francisco of Charley Henry Ludwig Hilmer, aged 69 years. Mr. Hilmer was for many years a resident of Anaheim. He leaves a widow and family of grown up children to mourn his loss, they being Kate, Rosalie, Charles Henry Jr., William Frand, Fred, Emma and Louis Hilmer. William J. Hill, who has been indisposed with an attack of rheumatism for some days past, is able to be out again. Charlie Rogers has taken his departure for San Francisco where he will reside permanently. 25 Years Ago All Southern California has been drenched by generous rain during the past few days. The storm began here Saturday at 8:55 of an inch was recorded. After a day of sunshine, another show gave us .65, and the weather four caster states that these showers are merely forerunners of the heaviest and wettest storm California has experienced since 1921, which is now on the way. If the weatherman has read the signs right it may be upon us before you read this. The total precipitation here for the season, up to Wednesday morning was 4.3 inches. Last year at this date it was 2.6 inches. At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Southern County Bank of this city and the branches in El Modena and Buen Park, officers re-elected were as follows: J. W. Phelps, president; C. Klingerman, vice-president; H. A. Hawley, secretary and cashier; James A. Fay, assistant secretary and treasurer. WASHINGTON—Almost as interesting as the military secrets revealed — which cannot be held—was the human side of Gen. Eisenhower as he briefed the House Armed Services and foreign Affairs committees on his recent trip to Europe. Like impressed Congressmen with his honesty and humility during the closed-door session, there wasn't a member present in Democrat or Republican—who isn't solidly in his corner when was over. Probably the best compliment paid by articulate Carl Vinson of Georgia, House Armid Services chairman, who didn't open his mouth once during the fire meeting. As one Congressman remarked, "A guy has to good to make Carl, who dominates all our meetings, take a back seat." Eisenhower reported that Europe generally were "described" to fight communism, with our help, but he added that we should not adopt a militant attitude toward Germany, or any other nation, though they are doing us a favor by fighting their own battles against Soviet aggression. I'm the kind of a guy who would rather go down with my nailed to the masthead fight for what I believe in," he Senators sore. Byrd of Virginia gave Mrs. Smith pointed support by publicly praising her views on economy, while Pat McCarran of Nevada told GOP Leader Wherry: "I would like very much to have Mr. Smith as a member of my committee investigating subversives." Backstage with the diplomats—Dean Acheson has been sore, as blazes by the British, especially Foreign Minister Bevin, for hanging back on citing red China for aggression. In one off-record session, Acheson exploded: "How many times do the Chinese have to say no before Bevin believes them;" The red Chinese in Peiping have suddenly started courting British and Swedish diplomats. The Chinese invite them to dinner and receptions where the following line is dished out: "There is no reason why China can't be friends with Britain and Sweden if only you will stop being friends with those atrocious Americans." The first zoological garden in the U.S. was established in Philadelphia in 1874. LET'S PLAY CANASTA! This is the second article of a series of eight on Canasta. The first article described the Canasta back of 100 cards, and the dealing for a game in which YOU are North. You pick up your hand, sort it in the usual manner with highest cards at the left, and this is what you see: Mail Bag To the editor: I have read with a great amount of interest the reviews by E.A.B. In the Gazette about the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra appearances in the Anaheim area. Much as I heartily enjoy reading witty written, two-fisted reviews (they are the best kind), still I think there are important considerations in regard to the appearance of the Philharmonic which should be pointed out. People who have worked to bring cultural enterprises to a community know that the discouragements are many, the progress is tedious and that it is a battle from beginning to end. That is the nature of every branch of culture. Good things are wonderful and necessary. But, oh so hard to attain and maintain. Behind the appearances of the Los Angeles symphony in this area is the hard work of a lot of good citizens who want to bring better things to Anaheim—and most especially, to our young people. For many it is their only choice. To many of the young attendees the concerts of the Los Angeles Philharmonic are the very first opportunity for them to see and hear a symphony orchestra "in person." The Los Angeles orchestra DOES, most assuredly, represent a valuable and desirable contribution to the community. When they have brought such an organization to Anaheim our tireless workers actually have done a tremendous—and difficult—thing. The very existence of any symphony is due to prodigious work generally acclaimed by the leagues. Above all, they bring music to thousands of listeners. Granted there were some of Sunday's program—choreo repertoire, personal idioms other grievances which often into such performances—displeased the Gazette critic. I, for one, am glad he read recording to his own likes and likes—for that is the privilege any good critic, and is the people read his reviews. However, in this installment the critique—because necessarily must be short, point and meet a deadline secretes the great stride represented in Northern Orange county having the Los Angeles musics in our midst. I hope the Gazette will have many fine people who are to bring us fine and better. The Gazette is a powerful man in our community. It continue to use that force to ensure that Anaheim has more of the finer and cutter things in life. It is to be hoped the Gazette may be able to join in the campaign to sell tickets and interest our people in fine events. Margaret S. Ben EDITOR'S NOTE: The Gazette will be happy to have the opportunity to do what it can promote fine musical and cultural events in Northern ange county. ISRAEL PLANTS FOREST TEL AVIV (P)—The recent establishment of tree nurseries ten million young plants part of a huge Israel affordable program. The Ministry of... CANASTA! This is the second article of a series of eight on Canasta. The first article described the Canasta pack of 108 cards and the dealing for a game in which YOU are North. You pick up your hand sort it in the usual manner with highest cards at the left, and this is what you see: As you sit at the left of the dealer, it is your first turn to play. The turn rotates to the left (clockwise) just like the deal. You must begin by putting the 3 face up on the table near you, and drawing the top card of the stock to restore your hand to 11 cards. Red treys are bonus cards and do not count as part of a hand. A red trey must be exposed at once, and if it was found in the original hand or was drawn from the stock, a replacement for it must be drawn from the stock. Turn 1: The replacement you draw chances to be a J. You are now ready to begin your turn proper. A turn comprises two or three steps, always in order: DRAW (always compulsory) MELD (optional) DISCARD (may be omitted in going out). Drawing means taking an extra card into your hand—either the upcard or the concealed card from the top of the stock. If you cannot or do not wish to take the upcard, you must draw from the stock. The upcard chances to be a K; since you cannot take it, you draw from the stock, getting a Q. Melding means placing cards from your hand face up on the table. When you meld at all, you may meld all the cards you wish, provided that you observe the rules as to validmelds. EDITOR'S NOTE: The Gather will be happy to have the opportunity for them to see and hear a symphony orchestra "in person." The Los Angeles orchestra DOES most assuredly represent a valuable and desirable contribution to the community. When they have brought such an organization to Anaheim our tireless workers actually have done a tremendous—and difficult—thing. The very existence of any symphony is due to prodigious work and belief of the citizens of the community which it serves. The Los Angeles symphony has become a major symphony and a pillar of culture in Southern California. Here a word about the artistic standard would not be amiss. Actually, within the ranks of the Los Angeles Philharmonic there are some of the most competent symphony musicians in this country. They are very well disciplined (rehearsed) and they have been opened farm areas. ATOMIC BOMB LIFE SAVERS* By MAJ. GEN. WALTER M. ROBERTSON, USA (RET) CALIFORNIA DIRECTOR OF CIVIL DEFENSE What specific things should I remember in connection with household? There are five keys to household safety. 1. Strive for fireproof housekeeping. Don't let trash pile Keep waste paper in covered containers. When an alert sounds, off your utilities just as if your were going out of the house for day. 2. Know your own home, particularly the safest part of your cellar, if you have one, or whatever other parts of the house provides best protection. 3. Close windows and doors. Draw blinds. If time allows, with alert sounds close the house as tight as possible. This will keep sparks, reduce entrance of radioactive dusts, and lessen chance being cut by flying glass. And keep house closed until advised the danger has passed. 4. Store emergency equipment and supplies. These should include a good flashlight with extra batteries, first aid equipment and canned goods. 5. Use telephone only for true emergencies. Needless use w seriously tie up the lines.

IF YOU DRIVE an automobile, you too, have longed at one time or another to be "Traffic Judge for A Day." This frustrated driver has many times yearned for a chance to sit on the other side of the bench and with a stern hand mete out justice tempered with vindictiveness to wayward automobile pilots. (And I do NOT have in mind truck drivers or "hot rod" specialists, as drivers in those two categories are the best on the roads today). Further, I have devised a list of common traffic offenses, with appropriate corrective "sentences." Draw up a cactus and sit down and we'll go over them once lightly. The Violation Women drivers who timidly poke two or three exploratory fingers out the car window expecting the guy behind to know which way she is going to turn, if any. The fellow who waits until you are almost upon him before he turns from a side road into your lane. The idiot who bashes other people's fenders in while apparently road-testing his car in public parking lots. The fellow behind with the hyper-sensitive reflexes who blasts his horn 1/67th of a second after the light changes from red to green. The Punishment Amputation of the offender's left arm at the elbow and compulsory installation of directional lights on her vehicle. Seventy-five lashes, a week in the stocks, revocation of all licenses held in his name, including hunting & fishing. Five years in the U.S. Armored Force with immediate shipping orders for Korea and an operator's license for a light tank somewhere WAY up front. Immediate loss of all of his teeth; revocation of birth certificate, if possible. The idlot who bashes other people's fenders in while apparently road-testing his car in public parking lots. The fellow behind with the hyper-sensitive reflexes who blasts his horn 1/67th of a second after the light changes from red to green. The balloon-head who passes you on the right-hand shoulder. The mallet-head who drives 20 mph on congested mountain roads on Sunday afternoon, backing up traffic for miles. The gossamer-brain who seldom drives slower than 85 mph on the straight-away. The person who gets out of his car from the driver's side when he is parked parallel on a busy city street. Five years in the U.S. Armored Force with immediate shipping orders for Korea and an operator's license for a light tank somewhere WAY up front. Immediate loss of all of his teeth; revocation of birth certificate, if possible. Fifteen whiffs of cyanide gas up at San Quentin. Round trip from Los Angeles to New York strapped to the tail of a Thunderjet doing 850 mph. (On Sunday). No punishment recommended. He'll get his, sooner or later. Far be it from us to interfere when a man is choosing his own method of meeting his Maker. - Colony Quips - By the Gazette Farm Editor FROM ALL reports Texas citrus growers are simply out of business after last week's freeze and Florida was too close to being wiped out for comfort. We in California should be very sorry for the Texas grower and should feel very glad that Florida was not ruined. We have heard other attitudes than this from some interested parties but hasten to assure them that a freeze in Florida is not necessary for us to receive a satisfactory price for our California valencias. If you are going to have to wait around for another growers disaster before you can make a profit out of your produce then you had better quit. IT IS OUR PERSONAL belief that if you are going to have to sell your valencias on the same basis that Mr. Wilcox sold ours to Mr. Fox of Minute Maid, just about a year ago, then you had better take the best way out that you can find. Or, if you are going to stand still for the hot concentrate deal that "stabilized" the starvation early market we had last year when Mr. Wohlwend was telling about fearing a "run-away" market unless the valencia prorate was increased to "move the crop," then you had better raise alfalfa. Any pig grower in the mid-west has more sense in one minute than a lot of people the California valencia growers stands in awe of. The way a lot of these lugs have handled the California grower is a sin and a shame. But they come back for more. The grower for more kicks and the snysters for more money. FLORIDA now produces about twice the amount of citrus that EDITOR'S NOTE: The Gazette will be happy to have the opportunity to do what it can to promote fine musical and other cultural events in Northern Orange county. ISRAEL PLANTS FORESTS MEL AVIV (UP)—The recent establishment of tree nurseries with a million young plants forms part of a huge Israel afforestation program. The Ministry of Agriculture and the Jewish National Bank "Keren Kayemeth" work in conjunction in this field. The joint forestry program for Israel is designed to fight soil erosion, fix sand dunes and to create a timber reserve for the future. No forests are planned in Southern Israel Negev Desert. They will be put there only as breaks to protect newly seeded farm areas. LIFE SAVERS* ABERTSON, USA (RET) CIVIL DEFENSE Number in connection with my safety. Long. Don't let trash pile up. When an alert sounds, shut out of the house for the early the safest part of your other parts of the house problinds. If time allows, when possible, this will keep out dusts, and lessen chance of disease closed until advised that supplies. These should include first aid equipment and emergency services. Needless use will attack, official U.S. Gov't. FLORIDA now produces about twice the amount of citrus that we do out nere in California. Yet they sell more than 80 per cent of it on an foo basis. We, of course, are muchartner from the eastern markets. So what? It there was a voluntary FLOOR on sales what difference would it make? The big difference would be return to grower, if return to grower is not above subsistance level then what good is a prorate, the kremain or the "baloney?" We wish somebody would tell us why a deal like Florida Mutual would not work here in California. It would certainly make unnecessary some of the kolossal kremlin overnead and, we are afraid, therein is the story. Someday, someone will get the inside cope and spill it. So what? The grower now is so used to "paloney" that steak has interest for him. AS OF THE END of January Florida Mutual announces the addition of sixteen new firms who have signed "handler contracts" since the list was puisonnea ten days previously. By signing one of these contracts the concern is then able to buy trust from growers AT THE PRICE SET BY FLORIDA MUTUAL. They can pay more but NOT LESS. If you don't think that is a better deal FOR THE GROWER than we have in California then you need your head examined. We could have it here for the asking. How long will it be before the growers start thinking about their own welfare and doing something about it even if they step on the toes of the "hired help?"
