Whenever we mention the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, we always start off: "Whether or not you support the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce you have to admit so-and-so. Well, we have another of those deals today. Whether or not you support the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce you have to admit they did a good deed for the city in bringing the Robertshaw-Fulton manufacturing plant to Anaheim. It will be beneficial for just about every citizen in Anaheim. It is a good, clean type of industry which produces products requiring the services of high-grade employees. The buildings which the company will erect will provide a busy and attractive entrance to Anaheim on the west. Eventually the company will own the business angles. The tax income of the city will be increased, many fine people will move to Anaheim to become a part of our civic life, our churches, clubs, schools, and so on. Certainly they will have much to contribute to Anaheim. Such events, however, as the location of a useful industrial unit in a city just don't happen... The behind-the-scenes activity involves a lot of work, a lot of selling, a lot of planning, a lot of manipulation, a lot of wishing. WASHINGTON — The court is hard and cold. Their backs are straight into your spine. After your bones ache—a waking in court listening to mony, argument, rebuttance that you are a reckoning inky filth over it... The jury goes out wondering.

And there is only to handle a libel suit who know you are right—out through the American tem of a judge and a It will be beneficial for just about every citizen in Anaheim. It is a good, clean type of industry which produces products requiring the services of high-grade employees. The buildings which the company will erect will provide a busy and attractive entrance to Anaheim on the west. Eventually the company will employ perhaps 2000 people. That alone is a helpful employment base for many Anaheimers. But, consider the effects of the payrolls on all the businesses in Anaheim as the company draws money here from all over the world. Business will be aided all along the line—and the increased tempo of such activity will provide more employment, provide more goods and services for Anaheimers. Retailers look ahead ... What is the outlook for the retailer for the near future? Four hundred retailers, including both chains and independents, were recently surveyed as to this question. And their answers are of wide general interest. First of all, most storekeepers expect an increase in their dollar volume. But, at the same time they foresee slimmer profits. The reason for that is a heavy increase in retailing costs. Of the reporting retailers, 64 per cent anticipated higher advertising costs, 70 per cent higher selling costs, and 67 per cent higher payroll costs. The two retail problems most frequently and heavily emphasized were personnel and prices. And, according to a press account, "running as a common pattern through the comments was an awareness of customer problems—the scarcity of wanted merchandise at the time wanted—and a feeling of uncertainty concerning the future." The retailer, in other words, bears the brunt of inflation, just as all the rest of us do. Rising prices hurt him, just as they do the consumer. More and more dollars may roll in—but more and more dollars must roll out too, and the profit declines. The retailer—for reason of self-interest alone—is solidly on the consumer's side when it comes to inflation. IN THE DAYS OF J.ONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Stages from Orange and Santa Ana were running on time yesterday, the bridge over the Santa Ana river having withstood the storm. Some little difficulty is experienced in crossing the channelous rains, makes 11 inches as the grand total during the season up to this time. A bark called the "Kalore" was dashed to pieces against the rocks of Dead Man's island, near San Philip H. Kruck began his or newspaperman like but no newspaper like perman with any course avoid them. If you are exposed inefficiency or inability in public office you stand the risk of abuse suits. And there is only one way to handle a libel suit who know you are right—out through the American tem of a judge and a Toughest case I ever out was a libel suit brought by Congressman Martin Swie Cleveland who I described "Congressional spokesperson Father Coughlin."

Court of Appeal upheld the minimum wage in the District of Columbia cause Justice Charles H had fallen from his horse and not sitting.

Some little difficulty is experienced in crossing the channel of the old river on this side of the bridge, in which there is now considerable water. Our weather prophets differ as to whether we will have more rain. To employ a well-known Irish bull, our cup is already overflowing, but it seems it may not yet be full. The wreck of the San Diego stage occurred, as near as we can learn, in the canyon called Onofrio near Los Flores. Mr. J. C. Edwards, of Orange, narrowly escaped being drowned while attempting to cross the Santiago creek on Wednesday. His buggy was completely torn to pieces by the angry waters, and man, horse and buggy were carried down the stream a long distance before they could be rescued. Dr. Higgins, who keeps a record of the rainfall, has kindly given us the following report with regard to that during the recent storm: From the 8th to the 9th, up to 8 o'clock a.m., 1-7/16 inches; from the 9th to the 10th, 3/16 inches, making a total of 1% inches, which added to the previous rains, makes 11 inches as the grand total during the season up to this time. A bark called the "Kalore" was dashed to pieces against the rocks of Dead Man's island, near San Pedro during the recent storm. Died—In Anaheim, Feb. 9. Barbara, wife of Henry Boege, aged 31 years and 6 months. The funeral will take place from the residence on Lemon street this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Robt. Scott has lost the lower lobe of a gold ear ring. The finder will be liberally rewarded by returning it to Mr. Scott at his office. 50 Years Ago Senor de la Guerra was a visitor in town from Yorba on Monday. He reports plenty of rain in the valley and prospects good for bountiful crops. The assessed valuation of all property in this school district last year was $976,638. Reckoning upon a conservative ratio of increase. The amount this year will go to nearly if not quite a million dollars. This would necessitate the imposition of a tax, in the event of carrying the bonds to build a high school, of two and one-fifth mills on the dollar—certainly a very modest import when the importance of the undertaking is considered. A citizen An absurd item appeared cently to the effect that no portions of Orange county to join with Whittier in the nation of a new city and government. There are many junctions to this idea. In the place the laws of the state California provide that no person shall be divided and left with than 1200 square miles of As Orange county contains 795 square miles the suggest is quite out of the question. There are many other barriers to suggestion. We are for Orange county now and always, the gorgious county on earth. proposition is ridiculous. WASHINGTON — The benches in Washington's U. S. District court are hard and cushionless. Their backs are straight and dig into your spine. After a week your bones ache—a week of sitting in court listening to testimony, argument, rebuttal, testimony that you are a "cuttlefish ekuding inky filth over everyone." ... The jury goes out. You wait, wondering. A juror opens the door. No, he only wants a pack of cigarettes ... At the swank dinner parties in northwest Washington they take odds for and against Pearson. "This will fold him up," gloats one dowager, "he'll have to sell his house, his car, and everything else to pay Fred Howser that $350,000." ... "Yeah, he'll have to go back to milking cows." ... "Pearson's never lost a libel suit, but this time he's cooked." ... So ran the dinner-table conversation during the libel suit of Pearson vs. the former Attorney General of California. Libel suits are part of the hazards of the newspaper and radio business. No newspaper or newspaperman likes them, but no newspaper or newspaperman with any courage can avoid them. If you are going to expose inefficiency or irregularity in public office you have to stand the risk of abuse and libel suits. And there is only one way to handle a libel suit when you know you are right—battle it out through the American system of a judge and a jury. Toughest case I ever battled out was a libel suit brought by Congressman Martin Sweeney of Cleveland who I described as the "Congressional spokesman of Father Coughlin." He sued in 70 different jurisdictions—the biggest chain libel suit in the history of American journalism. After losing 35 cases Sweeney got tired and quit. Somebody else, incidentally, was financing his operations as a means of putting this column out of business. There were also some interesting backstage manipulators behind the recent libel suit of Attorney General Fred Howser vs. Pearson. Judicial Criticism Chapter I probably goes back 15 years to a book written by Bob Allen and me called the "Nine Old Men." That book described how whims of fate on the Supreme Court sometimes influenced American history. One such whim of fate delayed the minimum wage act from becoming Constitutional in the United States for two decades. In 1921 the U.S. Court of Appeals had upheld the minimum wage act for the District of Columbia only because Justice Charles H. Robb had fallen from his horse and was not sitting. Later Justice Robb recovered. Paying taxes on an assessed valuation of $1000 would thus pay 2.50 and this amount would decrease each year after paying of the first outstanding bond. The school would place very little burden upon the community and the necessity for its erection would them to appeal to all for a vote favor of its construction. Philap H. Krick began his labors on Monday as secretary of the water company. His former position as principal of the Placentia Crime commission whose alert counsel, Warren Olney, pointed the finger at various cases where the Attorney General's office was apparently close to the gamblers. In addition, one of Howser's assistants, Wiley Cadell, tired to bribe Sheriff Beverly Broaddus of Montgomery County. demanded a rehearing, and thus delayed action on the m.mum wage act for two years—during which time three liberal justices resigned from the Supreme Court. As a result of Justice Robb's rehearing maneuver, therefore, the Supreme Court held the minimum wage act unconstitutional, and the United States was without this important legislation for two more decades. Grandchildren Cause Trouble Chapter II probably results from the fact that my daughter moved to California and presented me with grandchildren, the oldest named for me. Naturally I visited California as often as possible. In California any observer could see that its new, war-won population had made it the happy hunting ground for hoodlums and the big gamblers. It was also obvious that those in charge of law enforcement were lax; and in reporting on this situation in a series of columns and broadcasts in 1948 I stated that the chief law-enforcement officer, Attorney General Howser, when a candidate for that office in 1946 had accepted 12 $100 bills in protection money passed on to him from a well-known Long Beach gambler. Chapter III came several months later, when Fred Howser sued. But before he did so several things happened. One was that he came in for serious criticism by the California Crime commission whose alert counsel, Warren Olney, pointed the finger at various cases where the Attorney General's office was apparently close to the gamblers. In fact until just two weeks before the Howser libel suit was originally scheduled to go to trial. Perhaps he knew that juries, being human, can be susceptible to the speeches of Senators. Perhaps it was not pure coincidence that the last McCarthy attack was even delivered on the same day the jury got the case. Perhaps also it was just coincidence that Howser's attorneys, Roger Robb and Herbert Bingham, hapepn to be the attorneys for radio commentator Fulton Lewis, who has been working closely with MaCarthy. Perhaps it was also mere coincidence that Bingham and Robb took the case on a contingent fee, and that, when Howser and friends explored dropping or compromising the suit, it was these attorneys who objected. These were some of the back-stage factors the public didn't know about in the $350,000 libel suit which went to the jury. The jury, as is now known, ruled that defendant Pearson told the truth, that defendant Pearson acted without malice, and even volunteered the information that, even if untrue, the defendant Pearson's broadcast did not injure Howser's reputation. There was only one thing that bothered me about the trial. Many years ago, as Judge Alexander Holtzoff was appointed to the bench I cast some doubt about his impartiality. And sitting in front of this same judge every day for a week I felt kind of mean inside for having said that; because the judge was absolutely fair and impartial even to me who had criticized him. Santa Ana Bay Continued from Pa. "This definitely is true," "I ever have handled," "and I hope to keep on Bang Away." Levine should be used only once. He has taken more than best-of-show awards for kinds, shapes and sizes. But Harris was any speechless. "Bang Away's grandfather the sire's side was Y Sirrah Crest, which worked at breed at the Westminster years ago," he bubbled; was not at all sure we woke up in jail; was jittery until the woke up in South America. Cuba many, the home of this. Judge William Ross Pattated for almost a half-hour before choosing Bang A though he wouldn't say the other five finalists were running, it was appeared crowd of 9000 that he laintain Speck, a fine Point by Charles Palmer of Emmeadow, Mass., the best.

The First National Bank of Anam represented by Attorneys Botton and Cailor filed the will to probate. The will leaves one ward of the estate to the widow, 1,000 to each of the three children and the residue of the estate the widow. An absurd item appeared recently to the effect that northern counties of Orange county were join with Whittier in the creation of a new city and county government. There are many objections to this idea. In the first case the laws of the state of California provide that no county will be divided and left with less than 1200 square miles of area. Orange county contains only square miles the suggestion quite out of the question. There are many other barriers to the question. We are for Orange city now and always, the mostorious county on earth. The position is ridiculous. Philip H. Krick began his labors on Monday as secretary of the water company. His former position as principal of the Placentia school is now filled by Miss Gray, formerly his assistant.

Stock Market NEW YORK (AP)—A general mark-down in prices in the stock market today centered in the railroad section. Losses ran to $2 a share in the rails and in one notable case to around $4. Elsewhere the decline was held to a $1-$2 range. There was no particular selling pressure apparent anywhere, and the lower quotations uncovered considerable buying support. The volume of business was depressed to an estimated 2,100,000 shares as compared with 2,400,000 shares yesterday. Nickel Plate preferred was the star of the sell-off. It opened on 4000 shares, off 4 at 107¼%, ex-dividend of 45. During the day it traded at a loss running from 3 to 4 points. Packard was a strong spot in the motor section, trading unchanged or a little higher most of the time. After the market closed yesterday directors declared a 20-cent dividend on common, the first since 25 cents was paid Oct. 10; 1849. But the most spectacular gain—running to around 3—was made by General Tire & Rubber which reported earnings for the fiscal year ended Nov. 30 amounting to $13.88 a share as against 94 cents the previous fiscal year. -Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor THE FLORIDA citrus deal has been through a somewhat up and down program this season and to date is substantially better from the money to the grower than last year. There have been no tremendous "ups" and, what is much more important, there have been no red ink "lows" as we have had in the California set-up. These have been eliminated by Florida Mutual which now can be considered a fixed pillar in the Florida deal. No longer can any of our "peanut amateurs" say that Mutual is floundering around and not working. That propaganda "line" is now out of date. GOOD CALIFORNIA valencias brought about $1.50 a box, net on the tree, last year, and, if you really know the truth, the biggies did a lot poorer job than they would like to have you believe. But a lot of growers will believe anything—even how much money they received from their crop. They believe they got a certain amount when actually the pounds and dollars figure out in an entirely different manner. The way to get growers on your "bandwagon" here in California is to get out a better propaganda "line" and you can lead the "suckers" (as valencia growers are termed in certain pinch locations) any place you like. In Florida the grower gets MONEY for his fruit. He KNOWS what his fruit is worth in DOLLARS, knows what Mutual's floor price is and what will be his minimum take per box and again in DOLLARS. The Florida grower gets what his fruit is worth. There is not the legerdemain between "brands" either in fresh or canned that there is here in this state. California growers get the "chin music" while their counterparts down south get the money. To get back to that $1.50 a box for good valencias last year. This figure is for good fruit and is about one-half the price the "cheaper fruit" contract, by Mr. Wilcox, sold valencias to Minute Maid tor. How anyone could return more money to his growers than he received from the buyer is anybody's guess—but, well you heard it too. Hitler used to say that if you told 'em big enough everybody would believe you and he got away with some big fish. But what we wanted to ask was: How much of an increase does $1.50 per box in 1950 represent over 75 cents a box in 1940? Will the $1.50 BUY as much now as 75 cents would BUY in 1960? THE CALIFORNIA date growers are now in the process of or- Santa Ana Dog Continued from Page 1 "This definitely is the best dog I ever have handled," he said, "and I hope to keep on showing Bang Away." Levine should be used to winning. He has taken more than 250 best-of-show awards with all kinds, shapes and sizes of dogs. But Harris was anything but speechless. "Bang Away's grandfather on the sire's side was Yobang of Sirrah Crest, which won the best of breed at the Westminster four years ago," he bubbled. "But I was not at all sure we would win. I was jittery until the very end." Dr. and Mrs. Harris have bred 35 champions since they began breeding dogs, and have Boxers winning right now in Sweden, South America, Cuba and Germany, the home of this breed. Judge William Ross Proctor debated for almost a half hour before choosing Bang Away. Although he wouldn't say which of the other five finalists was in the running, it was apparent to the crowd of 9000 that he liked Captain Speck, a fine Pointer owned by Charles Palmer of East Longmeadow, Mass., the best among the sporting dogs. "Bang Away is one of the best specimens of this breed I ever have had the pleasure of judging." said the veteran all-breed expert. "He's put together right in every way and has a magnificent style." All in all, the show was loaded with upsets, but in the final judging it was Captain Speck, best American breed last year using the name Cartlane Once, Toy Poddle, owned by Mrs. Charles R. Fleishman of North Hollywood, Calif., (toys); Ch Blakeen Cristoff, Miniature Poodle, owned by the Blakeen Kennels of Stamford, Conn., (non sporting); Ch Aristo Von Marienlust, Smooth Dachshund, shown by Mrs. Lancaster Andrews of Westbury, N.Y. (hound), and Foxbank Entertainer of Haram Wirghaied Fox... Turn 6. You take the pack with your pair of 4's, getting also: 5, 8, 6. You decide to do some heavy melding, to prepare for building canastas. This is how you stand after you meld, then discard the 3: MELDED: A set of seven or more cards is a canasta. Seven or eight natural cards form a natural canasta; one containing any wild card is a mixed canasta. A side must have at least one canasta before it can legally go out. Canastas are important also because they earn bonuses additional to the point values of the cards. South in his turn adds 4-4-4-2 to your set to complete a mixen canasta. He also melds K-K-K and lays off a J. Turn 7. You draw a 7. You can now go out, and decide to do so. You meld 6-6-2, 7-7-7, lay off the K-K, discard the Q—and you are rid of your entire hand. You were entitled to consult with South as to whether to go out, but did not do so because he was down to only two cards and you could see a good net score by going out before East-West could complete a canasta. A player may ask his partner, "Shall I go out?" and is then bound by the reply, which must be simply "yes" or "no" the sporting dogs. "Bang Away is one of the best specimens of this breed I ever have had the pleasure of judging." said the veteran all-breed expert. "He's put together right in every way and has a magnificent style." All in all, the show was loaded with upsets, but in the final judging it was Captain Speck, best American bred last year using the name C.P. which supplied most of the competition. The others in the final were Ch Cartlane Once, Toy Poddle, owned by Mrs. Charles R.
