Mass fear has pumped much gas into the inflation is a fact and can become an explosive one. But much of it, they say, has risen from a state of mind which the facts themselves so far haven’t borne out. Artificial scarcities in the midst of abundance. Spiraling prices based on exaggerated fears. Customers haunted by warnings of possible shortages in the indefinite future crowding into over-stocked stores. Businessmen counting their customers and rushing to pile up inventories in spite of record industrial output. Manufacturers expanding plant facilities and scrambling for raw materials. Some can't afford them. Some don't want them. Government controls of materials could cut this year's production back by about 35 per cent. That would leave production still at five million sets. And television makers say that redesigning and huge savings in critical materials in making sets can push production about five million this year. Home building was supposed to have been given a death blow by credit restrictions. But the Labor Department reports more new homes started last month than in any January in history and expects this February to top any previous February.

Customers haunted by warnings of possible shortages in the indefinite future crowding into over-stocked stores. Businessmen counting their customers and rushing to pile up inventories in spite of record industrial output. Manufacturers expanding plant facilities and scrambling for raw materials. A man-made inflation built upon a pyramid of scares. But the economists ask you to look at some of the consumer items people fear will be short: Auto production continues at a peak rate. Last year more than 6½ million cars were built. Some say output will be cut back 40 per cent by midsummer. That would still leave the annual rate at 3¾ million new cars. Television sets rolled out at a 7½ million clip last year, more than double the production of 1949. About 10/ million families own sets and only about 15½ million families within television's range don't have them. IN THE DAYS OF JONG AGO From the Flies of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago We see every morning the my-ranidons of the Chinese wash-houses, carrying large bundles of soiled clothing to the various establishments. We believe they monopolize the laundry business here, but as they are not popular with all as wash-men, it is probably that an American laundry would do well. Some energetic man might obtain a good business by such an enterprise. There is one inducement at least, we have plenty of water for that or any other purpose—a boast, by the way, which cannot be made by all the towns of Southern California. Mr. Mendelson, the well-known tailor, tells us that he has recently received a new lot of very attractive goods. 50 Years Ago Charley Tuffres came up from his mines at Capistrano last week and is now at Placentia. His brother Fred came up from Capistrano some weeks ago and is also at Placentia. The boys say they have great riches in sight at their mine and contemplate an early return. Frank Dauser was married to Miss Mary Pratt at St. Boniface church on Tuesday morning. Rev. Dubble was the officiating clergyman. John Dauser, brother of the groom, was best man and Miss Gertrude Pratt, sister of the bride was bridesmaid. Only relatives and near friends were present and after the ceremony congratulations were extended the newly-wedded pair. The young couple have many friends who wish them state. A lot of people cough up for Helen before but when she was deprived too...

Gunther reports from while dining with Charles Willoughby, Mligence officer. Willough posed the following to second greatest military the world—Francisco Lily. The bitter row over participation in the mobilization boils down partly with Gen. Lucius Clay military governor of now right-hand man mobilization czar Charleston. There is also a loot against Harry S. Trump ally. Clay, a hard-hitting Army officer, accepts and taking orders tinually clashing with when he served as right to war mobilizer Jimmy World War II. Later Germany, he establishes probably a record for a can official. He cabled nation to the State Department military governor of three times in one day.

The roads are very solid and firm now that the rain has been somewhat evaporated from the upper crust. It is a real pleasure to ride on such roads, behind a good pair of horses. The preliminary lines for a narrow gauge road from Santa Ana to Newport Landing were run out yesterday by Mr. Harmon and others. As we go to press a very stiff wind is blowing. In London, in the House of Lords last evening Disraeli moved a bill enabling Queen Victoria to take the style and title of Empress of India. The weather is particularly warm—especially in February. The new town of Newport, just laid out by Mr. Maxwell, consists of a ten-acre plat of ground divided into lots 50x125 feet in size. Many of the lots have been disposed of and there is no doubt but what it will make a flourishing village. We are informed that about 5000 to 6000 sacks of barley are annually used by the breweries of Anaheim. The beer they make is very superior.

He was born in that year, he knows how old he is and he knows also how old the city is. Bill is one of the most influential citizens of Anaheim and anything he says goes. He say he is 69 years old and he ought to know, and Anaheim is the same age. In fact Bill and the town are twins. Dr. D. S. Hayward was the principal speaker at the Rotary club luncheon Monday.

The colorful Texan was presiding at the joint Foreign Relations-Armed Services quiz of Secretary of State Dean Acheson. As he called the roll, and came to the name of crime-busting Sen. Estes Kefauver, there was silence. "He's off chasing crap-shooters," Connally grumbled into an open microphone. There were roars of laughter from the audience. "That's off the record," boomed "Long Tawm," and went on.

Sam Ingram, who built bleachers, grandstands and stadiums at Hamilton N.Y. now building Legislators Have Chance to Determine If State Needs More or Less Government By MORRIS LANDSBERG (What's coming up before the California legislature when it returns from its long recess? Here is part of a special series reviewing bills introduced in January and awaiting action in the March session.) SACRAMENTO (LP)—Do you think California needs more government—or less? The 1951 legislature will have to decide. There are bills to create a number of new agencies. But other proposals call for streamlining the state government, unifying present services. Then the lawmakers will find a bill (SB 1571, Dilworth) which could very well change the map of California. This measure provides that two or more counties may consolidate. It would require only a petition by five per cent of the voters in the particular counties to call a special election. California has 58 counties. Their boundaries go back to the horse and buggy days. In recent years, a number of plans have been presented to merge some of the counties, now that distance from the county seat is no longer the problem it used to be. Governor Warren is behind another bill (AB 1725, Waters) to create a commission on governmental organization. Its job would be to study possible economies in operating the big state—for which the governor has asked $1,016,000,000 in his 1951-52 budget. In contrast, individual legislators are seeking to create these new agencies: State Commerce Commission (AB 1934, Henderson). Community Redevelopment and Housing administrator (SB 1488, O'Gara). California State Advertising and Publicity commission (AB 2325, McCollister). Auditor General, to make periodic audits and special investigations of state finances (AB 2812, Lowrey). Department of Revenue, to succeed tax duties of Board of Equalization, Controller, Motor Vehicles department and Franchise Tax commission (AB 1968, Hawkins). Seven-member Unemployment Insurance Appeals board, with final adjudicatory powers in Department of Employment (AB 890, Moss). Legislative Research Bureau (SB 1668, Burns); Legislative Archives (SB 1670, Burns); Legislative Library (AB 2021, Lindsay). Senator Jesse M. Mayo (R-An- Illustrative of Clay's difficulties with labor leaders is one backstage incident involving the appointment of a manpower commissioner. President Truman had telephoned mobilization czar Wilson asking him to appoint ex-Sen. Frank Graham of North Carolina as manpower commissioner. Former president of the University of North Carolina, Dr. Graham served as a member of the War Labor board in World War II and played a potent part in keeping labor relations on an even keel. Wilson seemed to welcome Truman's suggestion, but later, when Graham called on Wilson and General Clay, the latter made it clear that Graham would be only one of six assistants, and would report not to mobilizer Boss Wilson but to Clay through Wall street investment banker Sidney Weinberg. Under these hamstringing conditions, Graham politely declined. Note — Graham subsequently went to Alaska, showed how skillful he was in handling labor relations by smoothing out a difficult situation threatening to stop vital construction of Air Force housing and Army fortifications. Son, Glenn Wright, Louis Danz and Henry Plotzke. Election of directors at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Anaheim Community Industrial Land Company held yesterday resulted in five of the seven last year's directors being renamed. Two new directors, Robert Royalty and Ernest Ganahl, who succeeded H. H. Benjamin and Ed Smith, retired. The five re-elected are Henry Adams, William Stark, J. E. Schumacher, F. A. Yungbluth and B. H. Sidnam. Governor Warren is behind another bill (AB 1725, Waters) to create a commission on governmental organization. Its job would be to study possible economies in operating the big state—for which the governor has chise Tax commission (AB 1968, Hawkins). Seven-member Unemployment Insurance Appeals board, with final adjudicatory powers in Department of Employment (AB 890, Moss). Legislative Research Bureau (SB 1669, Burns); Legislative Archives (SB 1670, Burns); Legislative Library (AB 2021, Lindsay). Senator Jesse M. Mayo (R-Angels Camp) seeks to enlarge the Highway commission from seven to nine members (SB 1424). State Public Utility commissioners, now appointed by the governor, would be elected on a nonpartisan basis (ACA 21, Burkhalter). Different ideas are expressed in bills dealing with the legislature itself. One would remove the new 120-day limit on the length of regular sessions (ACA3, McCollister). Another would make it 120 legislative days instead of 120 calendar days (ACA 12, Stanley). And a third would continue the present annual sessions but abolish the budget session as such (ACA 14, Elliott). Let's call ourselves "Representatives," says Assemblyman Luther H. Lincoln (R-Oakland) (ACA 34). And let's serve for four years instead of two, he urges (ACA 16). Senators already have four year terms. When it comes to voting, Assemblyman G. Delbert Morris (R-Los Angeles) believes the right should be extended to 18 year olds (ACA 13). You have to be at least 21 now. There are a half dozen or more proposals (including AB 2594, Waters) to designate a candidate's political party on the primary ballot opposite his name. Californians would receive a voters' handbook for both primary and general elections (SB 1596, Miller). The handbooks statements by each party for president and dent in a presidential platforms of each position regarding each and statements by (graphs of) each office There'd be a new co-Elections Director and Registrar of voters Dunn)—to take the off county clerks.

(Next: Social Welfare -Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor WE LISTENED to a talk by Mr. Wilcox of the Exchange the other day and heard him tell the faithful that the production of citrus fruit in the US had increased 143 per cent since 1930 and that citrus was the only major fruit which has increased substantially more than the 21 per cent increase in population during the same period. Now we can't help thinking, in a nasty manner, that this sort of thing is dangled before the growers nose to scare him half to death. This sort of talk should not scare any grower who is doing a little of his own thinking. You only have to remember back about a year or so when the propaganda line from the Exchange was so heavily weighted against frozen concentrate. Today, by their own admission, families are using the frozen concentrate at a rate of 2½ million gallons a month. Or do you remember when this column was threatened with scurvy, or something, for saying the same thing? OF COURSE, the California crop will tend to go down, not up and the increase will be in Florida—the same place it has been. And as any phool can plainly see our California valencias can't miss, they are better for eating, drinking, processing and will keep on the trees longer. The only time the grower gets hurt is when Mr. Wilcox, or somebody like him sells the fruit "cheaper" and, well that's what we think. We just can see no reason for selling a better product "cheaper" on a rising market. "Rolling" cars east to return red ink makes the grower who allows his fruit to be handled in that way look mighty naive. If you get what we mean. We hope enough has been said right here and elsewhere to eliminate the kind of thinking which is exemplified by last year's "cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid. If the Exchange does not take better care to return more dollars to the growers it holds in the palm of its hand then it will surely die. One only has to compare the Florida market with the California on an overall, day to day, basis to see what suckers we California growers are to be led down the road of control with no guaranty. It is the same old story of "taxation without representation" and you can say that one again and again. Mail Bag Dear Mrs. White: You almost overwhelmed me with the nice article you wrote about me recently and I want you to know that my family and I appreciate it. I have had lots of favorable comment on it so I am sure your column is widely read. I always look forward to it and often make note of the valuable suggestions contained in it. I hope that our paths will cross often for I have enjoyed our visits together. Mrs. R. W. Marvin 314 W. Center (ED. NOTE: Mrs. Marvin adds an interesting post script about Katella school. She points out that the Anaheim Parent-Teachers council recently had a tea at the home of Miss Kate Rea. Miss Rea's father owned the land where Katella school stands. The school is named for his two daughters—Kate and Ella—or "Katella.") Sargum Sprout Sez WE PEOPLE AND THE MASSEUSE The high cost of living and taxes are not all the troubles we Americans have. You know there are some of us cat too much, or we eat the wrong foods and the old "rumatix" or "art-ritis" gets into our bones and then we have a trouble that really is something. It is then we go to the hot springs for mineral baths. There we meet a Masseuse. A masseuse is necessary to the mineral bath. The bath is alright and you perhaps would get well if you stopped off eating long enough for the water to do its work but you hurt all over and when you hurt you want something done about it. So you get a masseuse. A masseuse places you on a table and rubs the sore places nice and easy like. He rubs in oil and you feel better. He pats, rubs some more and about the time you are sure that you are going to enjoy life once more he gets a good hold and jerks and twists at the same time. The way I figure it out he coaxes and coddles all the little devils up in to one spot which is the sorest and most painful spot and then he tries to scare them out by sudden jerk and pull. Anyway the jerk and pull certainly sends the devil pains securing all through your anatomy. Before you can get your breath he is back again with his soft touch, rubbing and patting and again you begin to feel better. If you allow the masseuse to work on you long enough you'll be a well man or a wreck. People are funny; they spend weeks, months and years, eating expensive foods so that they can spend a few weeks at the "springs" with a masseuse giving them hell. Of course... LIFETIME CONTRACT —Smile flickered across face of Gen. Bob Neyland in Nashville, Tenn., after he was given lifetime contract as Univ. of Tennessee football coach. Miller). The handbook would carry statements by each political party for president and vice president in a presidential year; state platforms of each party; statements regarding each candidate and statements by (and photographs of) each office seeker. There'd be a new county post—Elections Director and Ex-officio Registrar of voters (AB 3343, Dunn)—to take the election load off county clerks. Campaign expenditures without the O.K. of the candidate would be banned (AB 2604, G. D. Collina). And primary elections would be held in August instead of June (AB 3359, Brady).
