Victim X isn't dead yet. He or she is still alive and among us. That is all we know except that in the next 11 months or so Victim X will die—and not a natural death. Even the dead do not escape statistics. In a sense they create them. So a printed form is already on file somewhere for Victim X, waiting to be filled out: Name, address, age, sex, occupation, place and time of death, and so on. It can't be filled out yet because nobody knows the answers now. But in the next several months some highway patrolman, a local policeman, or perhaps a doctor in a hospital may make out the necessary report on Victim X. For Victim X may have the dubious honor of being the 100th person killed in a traffic accident accident since 1900. For just the inexorably the nation is moving toward its millionth traffic accident—and it may happen in 1951. The Gazette is not alone in praying that it is not you, or you, or your family, or friends, who may contribute Victim X. Anaheim business people, your friends and neighbors, have taken note of this coming terrible catastrophe and have co-operated with the Gazette in WASHINGTON—Today Angstedyk calls from Phila city of brotherly love, but first cargo of the tide of Europe. This is a friend which the American Lions painstakinely collected parts of the USA for the of Europe and for the f American Gi's in Korea. Last year the Legion sent 000 toys to Europe. It drives of this kind slack the first year. People go discouraged, figure the quite so great. But that has reversed this trend, amazing total of 7,000 have now been contrived children who could spare from under their own tree. What the Legion did have realized is that monies buy friendship. Nor can the rebuilding ropean factories, importance is build friendship. It people to people under such acs comes through a toy bearing a message child to another, which builds the kind of enduring ship we need. Note—The Legion did good job collecting friends this year that the cost of became much greater than year. Whereupon a group triotic businessmen in Ne led by Lewis Rosenstiel, in to raise $50,000 to coy Abraham Lincoln's Birthday... Besides his Gettysburg Address and the Second Inaugural there are many other utterances of Abraham Lincoln which, though not as famous, are almost equally as moving and profound. Of these, his letter to the Boston mother who had lost five sons in the Civil War, is one which because of its great tenderness and superb phrasing, bears frequent reading. Today, the one hundred and forty-second anniversary of Lincoln's birth, we think it fitting to reprint it again. He wrote: "I have been shown in the files of the War department a statement by the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Our readers will see by the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors at their recent meeting, which here and was so captivated by the climate and surroundings that he has returned to reside permanently. For just as inexorably the nation is moving toward its millionth traffic accident—and it may happen in 1951. The Gazette is not alone in praying that it is not you, or you, or you, or your family, or friends, who may contribute Victim X. Anaheim business people, your friends and neighbors, have taken note of this coming terrible catastrophe and have co-operated with the Gazette in warning that it not be you who will serve as Victim X. (See Page 8.) The merchants, the Gazette, the local police, everybody, want you to be wary on the highway. Drive with your mind and your eyes and your cars. Beware of the other driver. Observe carefully all the rules of the road. Don't be killed, don't kill. Always remember, the careful, courteous, thoughtful drivers or pedestrians stand a good chance if not being—or causing—Victim X. One of the little-notice festering political sorces ofington is General Aniline Film, the giant German chemical corporation, affiliated with the notorious Farben Cartel and now in the cutthroat game of eratic politics. If a Senate committee ever into the political ramifications General Aniline and Film make the current probe of construction Finance Corp., would be piled by comparison by the German-Switzerland company is supposed to be by the alien property custodian. The U.S. justice department must have directed the company to assist friends who helped Truman got where he is. First of all, shrewd, faint Victor Emanuel, tycoon of American Aviation company pointed Leo Crowley as his Standard Gas and Electric when Leo was a power Roosevelt administration-time—1939 and the years—Crowley had the unique illege of drawing $75,000 Standard Gas and Electric very same time he was vying for U.S. taxpayers as his federal deposit insurance at alien property custodian. An indication that Crowley serving two masters came when he rewarded the man paid him $75,000 annual making Victor Emanuel a tor of the giant German fireral Aniline and Film. As propriety custodian, Crowley appoints the directors of the man firm, and he appoints only Emanuel, but Em close friend, George Allen. Profitable Back-Scratch After Crowley stepped down IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY EUCHEL 75 Years Ago Our readers will see by the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors at their recent meeting, which is published in this issue, that Messrs. Hammel & Denker have petitioned them for the franchise of a street railroad in Anaheim. We are informed by Mr. John Fischer that their intention is to lay it along Centre street to Los Angeles street. Since writing the above, we are informed that the privileges granted Hammel & Denker in the matter of a street railway, are as follows: They are granted the franchise to lay track from the depot along Centre street to the intersection of Los Angeles and beyond, and along Los Angeles street, it being obligatory upon them to finish on Centre street from the depot to the intersection of Los Angeles street within three years, and the whole within five years. (The "depot" mentioned was the Southern Pacific At the time, it was located on Centre street about a mile west of the intersection of Centre and Los Angeles.)—Ed. 50 Years Ago J. E. Schmidt has returned from New York and will take up his permanent residence in this city. Mr. Schmidt was one of Anaheim's Pioneers, although for a number of years past he has been a resident of New York. Last year he paid a visit to relatives here and was so captivated by the climate and surroundings that he has returned to reside permanently. W. H. Blennerhassett, the retiring secretary of the water company will have charge of the Golden Belt Packing House at Fullerton, where E. K. Benchley is packing the fruit of the Botsford and other groves. Mr. Blennerhassett will probably be in town every day or so for a while. He contemplates spending the summer at Catalina and will purchase an automobile and go riding ever and ever so far. He has been a capable and efficient secretary and his many friends here about regret his departure. A. D. Ruddock of Fullerton, aged 65 years, father of Geo. A. Ruddock was stricken with paralysis on Saturday morning and has since been in a precarious condition. 25 Years Ago So dense was the fog at Buena Park Monday night that neighbors of the H.B. Crockett family knew nothing about the fire that destroyed the Crockett Town, at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning. Awakened by the crackling flames, Mrs. Crockett found that escape through the door was cut off and aided her sick husband and three-year-old son to climb out a window. They were forced to stand Bootleggers smuggled than $100,000,000 worth of across the Mexican and Canadian borders last year. Treasurers estimate Thirsty A cans obtained and drank more than 300,000 gallons of real Indian beer, several hundred sand bottles of alms, and 400,000 quarts of Canadian key. Across the Mexican border there trickled more than 1,000 quarts of tequila and thousands of gallons of other intoxicants WASHINGTON—Today the SS Angledyk calls from Philadelphia, city of brotherly love, bearing the first cargo on the tide of toys to Europe. This is a friendship cargo which the American Legion has painstakenly collected from all parts of the USA for the children of Europe and for the families of American GI's in Korea. Last year the Legion sent 3,000-4,000 toys to Europe. Frequently drives of this kind slacken after the first year. People get tired or discouraged, figure the need isn't quite so great. But the Legion has reversed this trend, and the amazing total of 7,000,000 toys have now been contributed by children who could spare a toy from under their own Christmas tree. What the Legion and its friends have realized is that money cannot buy friendship. Nor can the shipment of arms build friendship. Nor can the rebuilding of European factories important as that is, build friendship. It is the people-to-people understanding, such as comes through a gift of a toy bearing a message from one child to another, which really builds the kind of enduring friendship we need. Note—The Legion did such a good job collecting friendship toys this year that the cost of shipping became much greater than last year. Whereupon a group of patriotic businessmen in New York, led by Lewis Rosenstiel, stepped in to raise $50,000 to cover over- Allen Property Politics One of the little-noticed but fascinating political sores of Washington is General Aniline and Film, the giant German-Swiss chemical corporation, formerly affiliated with the notorious I. G. Garben Cartel and now a pawn in the cutthroat game of Democratic politics. If a Senate committee ever prizes into the political ramifications of General Aniline and Film it will make the current probe of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation mild by comparison. Technology, the German-Swiss company is supposed to be operated by the alien property custodian of the U.S. justice department. But the justice department has farmed direction of the company to various friends who helped Harry Cruman got where he is. First of all, shrewd, farsighted Victor Emanuel, tycoon of the American Aviation company, appointed Leo Crowley as head of his Standard Gas and Electric co., when Leo was a power in the Roosevelt administration. At that time, 1939 and the years following—Crowley, had the unique privilege of drawing $75,000 from standard Gas and Electric at the very same time he was working for U.S. taxpayers as head of federal deposit insurance and as alien property custodian. An indication that Crowley was serving two masters came later when he rewarded the man who laid him $75,000 annually by making Victor Emanuel a director of the giant German firm, General Aniline and Film. As alien property custodian, Crowley could appoint the directors of this German firm, and he appointed not only Emanuel, but Emanuel's rose friend, George Allen. Profitable Back-Scratching After Crowley stepped down as Swiss firm, manufacturing as it does Ansoe film, hormones, and 1000 different synthetic dyes; it was the juiciest property seized by the government during the war. Its factories spread out from Grasselli, N.J., to Binghamton and Johnson City, N.Y., and a total of $1,000,000 a year was paid out to top executives and directors. So, in 1947, Bob Hannegan of Democratic national committee fame, induced Attorney General Tom Clark to appoint Jack Frye as head of General Aniline. Frye, a partly faithful, had been eased out of his job as head of Trans-World Airlines, but now stepped into the presidency of the giant German-Swiss firm at $72,000. Battle of Tycoons About that time Victor Emanuel's influence began to wane, and the influence of rival Tycoon, Floyd Odium, began to increase. Both, incidentally, had carefully sweetened the kitty of the Democratic party, but in 1948 Odium had gone down the line for Trueman while Emanuel flirted with the Republicans. At any rate, today finds Richard C. Patterson, a satellite of Floyd Odium's, on the board of General LET'S PLAY CANASTA! YOU as North were first to mold, and now you are first to get the pack in the game of Canasta fully described in eight articles, of which this is the fifth. Any number of natural cards may be laid off on a meld (added to a meld on the table). Furthermore, a player may take the pack (when unfrozen) to lay off the upcard on a meld of his side. No card may be laid off on a Anilline and significantly appointed as U.S. ambassador to Switzerland. Patterson has no outstanding qualification for the U.S. ambassadorship to Switzerland, having recently served in an opposite area of the world—Guatemala. However, it may or may not be a coincidence that the Swiss are now doing their best to take over General Aniline, in fact, have sued the U.S. government, while the Swiss government has made representations to the state department on behalf of the European investors in General Aniline. So naturally the question is being asked as to whether a Floyd Odium man as ambassador to Switzerland could not perhaps intervene in this delicate difficult situation. The wives and mothers of this community are wonderfully Their names do not get into the news very often because they are doing is not of the spectacular variety. But the more homemakers I meet, the more I am impressed their industry, resourcefulness and skill. They are interesting in the backbone of community life. For these reasons, I would like you to know Mrs. Charles Walker. She is the mother of three hunky youngsters aged seven, nine and 11 and she does all her own housework in a good sized house. You would think her hands would be full, but she has planned her activities so that she is able to do an excellent job of teaching to ninety students at Home Economics class Anaheim High school. Thinking that her housekeeping might be to rest of us, I visit this week to see how she hauasted little woman, we from a constant round on Instead, I found a lovely lady, bubbling over with enthusiasm and bored right down to the fresh flowers pinned shoulder. When I had recovered my astonishment, we got to cases. I found that Walker makes good use of variety of modern labor devices, and perhaps most important to her deep freeze. She makes a doubling or tripling when she cooks. She buys unused portion in the She makes 25 sandwiches Sunday and stores them freezer for school lunches. Mrs. Walker's automaton does the wash several times and she sets up the Any number of natural cards may be laid off on a meld (added to a meld on the table). Furthermore, a player may take the pack (when unfrozen) to lay off the upcard on a meld of his side. No card may be laid off on a meld belonging to the opponents. Turn 3. After West draws, he discards a 9. You decide to take the pack. You expose the 9-2 from your hand, put the upcard with it to complete the set, then take the rest of the pack into your hand, getting K, 7, 6, 5, 4, 8, 5, 4. The upcard may be taken only to be melded or laid off in the same turn. Having melded the upcard, the player takes the rest of the pack into his hand and may then meld all the additional cards he pleases. The pack is frozen for a side before it has made its initial meld. It is frozen for both sides so long as it contains a wild card or a red trey. (If such a card is turned for the first upcard, additional cards are turned over on it until a natural appears.) When the pack is frozen, it may be taken only by matching the upcard with a natural pair from the hand. But a player (for whom it is not frozen may take it either this way or by matching the upcard with one natural card, using a wild card to complete the set. Also, when unfrozen, the pack may be taken to lay off the upcard. The pack may not be taken at all when the upcard is a wild card or black trey. This turn brings out the real reason for melding the aces in Turn 2. By making an initial meld you unfreeze the pack for your side, though it remained frozen for the opponents until East melded his queens. -Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor There follows a little required reading for every California citrus grower. It is our belief that if the California grower would only get "wised up" a little on the true status of his business the "hired help" would have to get out and do a job or else. This is a story, handled entirely in a routine way, by one of the best informed m.n. in the country, Jack Gurnett, of Winter Haven, and is an example of the real down to earth facts which are given the Florida grower by his newspapers. You will look long and without result for the generalities and platitudes handed out by the California "Brass" to our people. The following is just a small part of one day's article by Mr. Gurnett. Having escaped two consecutive danger periods of freezes damage and with the trees and unharvested fruit in good shape following providential rains, the industry can market the rest of the crop in an orderly manner at more money if all growers and shippers don't try to see how much they can get out of the state in the shortest possible time, it was pointed out last night. If the rail strike comes to an end within the next 48 to 72 hours, as many believe it must if only in the interests of national defense, auction prices are expected to go up over the $4.47 average for last week and a $3.50 FOB market is in sight, observers have said. The cannery price for oranges which ranged from $1.65 to $1.90 a box delivered in "official" reports, last week, but with $2 actually being paid in some instances, according to reliable reports, the availability of warehouse space for the finished product is the only thing that can prevent a further advance, according to veteran citrus men who have been studying the situation. "The whole situation is in the hands of the grower," one prominent citrus man said last night. "If he refuses to become panicky, if he sets a reasonable minimum on his fruit, consistent with actual conditions, then he can get more money." But, on the other hand, if he listens to a lot of talk about price collings, scarcity of materials, and other such things and gets scared to the point where he wants to get his fruit off the tree in a big hurry, then almost anything can happen." There may be a revision of the plans for advertising grapefruit Forum community are wonderful people. news very often because the job ular variety. eent, the more I am impressed with skill. They are interesting people, excellent job of teaching cooking to ninety students a day in Home Economics classess at Anaheim High school. Thinking that her system of housekeeping might be valuable to the rest of us, I visited her this week to see how she does it. I half expected to find an exhausted little woman, well worn from a constant round of work. Instead, I found a lovely young lady, bubbling over with vitality and enthusiasm and beautifully groomed right down to the spray of fresh flowers pinned at her shoulder. When I had recovered from my astonishment, we got down to cases. I found that Mrs. Walker makes good use of a variety of modern labor saving devices, and perhaps the one most important to her is the deep freeze. She makes a habit of doubling or tripling recipes when she cooks. She banks the unused portion in the freezer. She makes 25 sandwiches every Sunday and stores them in the freezer for school lunches. Mrs. Walker's automatic washer does the wash several times a week and she sets up the ironing board where she can keep and eye on her favorite television programs. This trick prevents ironing from being the long drawn out chore it once was. The children are old enough to have special duties of their own and are considerable help.

Students bring only apron and hair net. High school home economics is not a required subject but may be elected according to the student's wishes. Since something like 85 per cent of high school girls marry not long after grade 10. board where she can keep and eye on her favorite television programs. This trick prevents ironing from being the long drawn out chore it once was. The children are old enough to have special duties of their own and are considerable help. Their mother feels that the responsibility and experience has been good for them. Mrs. Walker's thorough knowledge of nutrition has been a big factor in keeping them healthy. They have a generous serving of meat or meat substitute each day with liver once or twice a week. They are allowed all the milk they can drink and all cereals and bread are whole grain. The accent is on fruits and vegetables preferably raw. Raw carrots and celery are a favorite after school snack. Besides this, the whole family supplements its diet with a vitamin and mineral concentrate. Homemakers are particularly interested in the "laboratory" in which Mrs. Walker's cooking classes meet. It is colorful and most attractive. Each of its five units include a full size stove (either electric or gas) a sink, storage cupboard, work table and dining space, and simulates home conditions as nearly as possible. Beginning classes concentrate on breakfast preparation, school lunches and proper food selection through a study of nutrition. In Foods II, they cook and serve luncheons, study food preservation and learn more about the school lunch. The advanced class works on dinner plans and advanced food preservation. Students in all the classes actually plan, prepare and serve complete meals. All the raw food is supplied by the school. Students bring only apron and hair net. High school home economics is not a required subject but may be elected according to the student's wishes. Since something like 85 per cent of high school girls marry not long after graduation, most of them would derive great benefit from these courses. Mrs. Walker has figures which show that the divorce rate among students of home economies is considerably lower than for the average of the population. Could be that the way to a man's heart is still through his stomach! One of Mrs. Walker's family favorites is her way of making chili. They like it with rye bread and a green salad on a chilly night. Hot chocolate or milk and a fruit dessert completes the meal. BAKBARA WALKER'S CHILI 1 pound dry red chill beans 1 pound ground beef 1 quart tomatoes 1 onion 1 teaspoon chili powder (or to suit your taste) Salt and pepper Celery salt Pick over and wash the beans and soak over night. Cook in the same water you soaked them in. Slice and try the onion and add it to the boiling beans. Crumble the meat and fry it. Drain off the grease. Add the cooked meat, tomatoes and seasonings to the beans. Simmer slowly until the beans are done. This takes from one and a half to two hours. If they seem dry while cooking, add some tomato juice.
