See Page 8 The fast pace towards the millionth traffic death since 1900 was speeded up last year by increases in fatalities in California and 42 other states—the largest number to report an upward trend since 1946—while only five states held street and highway deaths below their 1949 tolls, a survey by the Association of Casualty and Surety companies shows. Noting that this group of 43 states was more than three times greater than the number which reported bigger death tolls a year ago, the association's accident prevention department warned that "a tragic trend to more fatalities in all but a few states threatens to eclipse new gains in highway safety in 1951." Unless most states reverse the trend this of unrestricted motor travel following World War II—there were two. Twenty-one states reported more deaths in 1948, he said, 17 in 1947 and 45 in 1946. California had 45 more deaths in 1950 than in the previous year, with 2092 persons killed on its streets and highways, compared to 2947 in 1949. Traffic fatalities in the state increased two per cent, which compare with an 11 per cent average increase in the nation for 1950, according to National Safety council statistics. The national toll in 1950 was 35,000 lives, against 31,500 in 1949. Well, we bring that out in order to increase your wariness on the highways. The Gazette simply does not want you to be that millionth traffic victim. WASHINGTON — boss Charles Wilson drastic powers over copper and steel, middle of June.

NOTING that this group of 43 states was more than three times greater than the number which reported bigger death tolls a year ago, the association's accident prevention department warned that "a tragic trend to more fatalities in all but a few states threatens to eclipse new gains in highway safety in 1951." Unless most states reverse the trend this year, declared Thomas N. Boate, the association's director of public safety, "Victim X"—the millilonth traffic fatality—will be killed in about 10 months. Auto deaths since 1900 now total about 968,000, he said. Only 14 states reported greater traffic fatalities for the year 1949. Mr. Boate pointed out. A year ago 32 states boasted fewer deaths in 1949, nearly seven times the roster of "honor states" for 1950. In 1948, 23 states had fewer deaths; in 1947 there were 31, and in 1946—the first full year increased two per cent, which compare with an 11 per cent average increase in the nation for 1950, according to National Safety council statistics. The national toll in 1950 was 33,000 lives, against $1,500 in 1949. Well, we bring that out in order to increase your wariness on the highways.

Drive with your eyes, your ears, your good common senses, and with your heart. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Yesterday morning Thomas Scully was engaged in a violent altercation with his wife, who is a sister of Thomas Yorba. Being told of the trouble Yorba ran over to see about, and as he approached, Scully shot him through the window, the bullet entering the left shoulder, entering the lung. Dr. Yocum has been unable to find the bullet. Yorba is spitting blood and seems to be in precarious condition.—The case of the People vs. Thomas Scully, on charge of intent to kill Vicente Yorba, came up in Judge Randall's court at 10 o'clock. Attorneys for the defense were Messrs. Davis and Lynn. Mr. M. L. Wicks representing the plaintiff. Senora Maria Jesus Yorba de Scully and Senorita Eloisa Bottilleris, witnesses for the plaintiff gave the circumstances of the shooting. Ball was set at $5000, but up to the time of going to 50 Years Ago Carpenters McWilliams, Stone and Dunn have been engaged during the week in erecting an addition to the building on Centre street recently occupied by Mr. Melrose and sold by him last week to Mr. Barborka. Mr. Barborka has made an offer for the Dreyfus property on Centre street now occupied by McCullom and Judge Stanley, beginning at the West line of the Helmsen property and running 36 feet to the land recently purchased by R. Spoerl. Mr. Barborka will erect a brick building on one or the other of the lots. W. W. Scott has returned from Point Conception where he was employed with the Southern Pacific force of carpenters, erecting depots on the new surf line. 25 Years Ago Charles E. Stone is a personal increased two per cent, which compare with an 11 per cent average increase in the nation for 1950, according to National Safety council statistics. The national toll in 1950 was 33,000 lives, against $1,500 in 1949. Well, we bring that out in order to increase your wariness on the highways. The Gazette simply does not want you to be that millionth traffic victim. AND, WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO BE AMONG THE ALMOST 100 PERSONS WHO PROBABLY WILL DIE IN ORANGE COUNTY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN 1951. So, please be careful when you venture out on the highways. Please be patient and courteous with the other drivers on the road—even though they drive you to almost complete anger with their careless driving. Drive with your eyes, your ears, your good common senses, and with your heart. ANSWER: The point is hastily abandoned less than two weeks adopted. An Army explained it was caused of Chinese Inter-Korea. Reminded thene didn't intervene November, he con superiors and came the story that the cntary situation had plan to be dropped. Was pointed out that tary situation was m on Oct. 28 when them was announced Nov. 7 when it was The Army had no fun. ELmer Henry, Sr., "Can't anything be done my three boys in uni sacrificed high civilia serve Uncle Sam, but to pay income taxes ev small Army incomes." Ans.-Enlisted men zones are exempt from income taxes. If they tioned in noncombat ever, they must pay same as civilians. Several bills have been Thomas Scully, on charge of intent to kill Vicente Yorba, came up in Judge Randall's court at 10 o'clock. Attorneys for the defense were Messrs. Davis and Lynill. Mr. M. L. Wicks representing the plaintiff, Senora Maria Jesus Yorba de Scully and Senorita Eloisa Bottileris, witnesses for the plaintiff gave the circumstances of the shooting. Ball was set at $5000, but up to the time of going to press Scully had not procured bail and was still in custody of the constable. The small number of drunken men ever seen upon our streets is surprising when we consider that intoxicating liquors are so cheap here as to be within the reach of all. An immense mail came last night. The number of bags that were thrown into the post-office was enough to discourage the heart of the most industrious postmaster that ever read postal cards. Mr. Fort, the gentlemanly assistant postmaster told us that for Anaheim alone there were between five and six hundred letters, by actual count. The night before the only mail from Los Angeles was one paper for the Gazette. Dr. Higgins supposed the reason to be that so large quantity had been received at Los Angeles as to prevent a prompt distribution. A Los Angeles paper says that Eucalyptus trees have been planted very extensively in Algeria for railroad ties and that they answer admirably for that purpose. W. W. Scott has returned from Point Conception where he was employed with the Southern Pacific force of carpenters, erecting depots on the new surf line. 25 Years Ago Charles E. Stone is a personal friend of Engineer John Sullivan, who hauled the first train of cars into this city in January 1875. Sullivan is 84 years old and lives in Los Angeles. He hauled the train into town for a number of years, and was succeeded by Martíf Wetzel. Frank Monahan was the first conductor. The brakeman was named Johnson and the expressman, Bassett. The arrival of the first train in this city was a red-letter day and all the old-timers were there to meet a company of distinguished visitors who came down from Los Angeles. The train remained here over night and returned to the city early the next morning. A turntable was provided in the railroad yard upon which the engine ran and was turned about for the homeward trip. Later on two round trips a day were made. For several years before the railroad reached Anaheim, the terminus was at Downey, and people took the stage Diego stage here for that point before sunup in the morning. They returned after nightfall in the evening, but were very glad to be able to make the round trip in one day. It was a very cold and cheerless trip, and there was great rejoicing when the tracks were finally laid to this city. LEGAL NOTICE (Pub.

WASHINGTON — Mobilization boss Charles Wilson will assume drastic powers over aluminum, copper and steel, beginning the middle of June. He will put these strategic metals under a controlled material plan, which will give the government authority to regulate their use down to the last pound. Wilson spelled out his plan behind closed doors to the joint Congressional committee on defense production. "The controlled materials plan is one that will operate on scarce materials absolutely," the mobilization boss explained. "I mean, it will have the control of all the material in the particular line that is short." However, Wilson added ruefully: "once you start to control things, it is a terrific job. That is why I hate controls, and from the very bottom of my heart I hate controls." G. I. Gripes Letters pour in to this column every day from G. I.'s exercising their time-honored American privilege to kick. It is impossible to investigate all their complaints, but from time to time, this column will publish the most serious G.I. gripes and try to give them a straight steer. Names will be withheld upon request. A draftee, Ft. Story, Va.—"There are 500 of us at Ft. Story, who haven't been home since we were drafted. Now we are supposed to be shipped overseas. We were promised 10 days leave, but this has been cut to three days." Liquor, Smokes, and Minors to Get Renewed Attention of Legislature SACRAMENTO (A)—There's some crackdown legislation before California lawmakers which would make it more difficult for anyone under 21 to buy alcoholic beverages. An assortment of other bills would concern anyone buying or selling wine or liquor or beer. Or anyone buying or selling tobacco from a vending machine. It's already against the law for anyone under 21 to buy alcoholic beverages. But now there's a proposal making it illegal for a minor to even try to buy them (AB 3070, McMillan). It would also be illegal for a minor to show any false evidence in order to prove he is 21. Anyone convicted of breaking the law would be subject to at least 10 days in jail and a fine of $100. Another bill would make it against the law for anyone under 21 to have an alcoholic beverage in his possession on a street or highway or any public place (SB 1104, Dorsey). And there's legislation for people who have drunk too much alcohol (SB 1435, Jesperson; AB 1204, Connolly). It directs the director of the state mental hygiene department to establish and maintain two hospitals for the study, treatment and rehabilitation of acute and chronic alcoholics. The proposal came from Governor Warren. There’s a bill which would ban the sale of liquor on trains for the duration of the current defense emergency period (AB 2536, Davis). Another would require wine labels to include the kind and grade of the operator—and where they are not directly available to the general public. No others would be licensed. It is also proposed to ban machines dispensing tobacco from within 600 feet of school property. (Watch for other articles on this series.) Avocado Pruning In New Booklet A new publication, "Why Prune Avocado Trees," by the Agricultural Extension Avocado committee, has just been released, according to Farm Advisor C D Gustafson. This pamphlet discusses such topics as pruning young trees, pruning mature trees, what results are obtained by pruning, pruning in relation to fruit yield, time of year to prune and how pruning can be used in changing the growth habits of a variety. He says that lack of experimental evidence on pruning avocado trees makes this subject highly controversial. Almost every degree and type of pruning can be found in practice. A copy of this bulletin can be obtained free of charge at the Farm Advisor's office, 1104 W. Eighth st., Santa Ana.

There’s a bill which would ban the sale of liquor on trains for the duration of the current defense emergency period (AB 2536, Davis). Another would require wine labels to include the kind and grade of grapes used by the vintner (AB 1747, Condon) and another would permit anyone to bring as much as two quarts of liquor from Mexico without paying a tax on it (AB 3187, McMillan). There's legislation which would make it possible for any nonprofit social organization to have a liquor license, providing a substantial part of its revenue goes to charity and it has been in existence at least five years and owns its building ('AB 1748, Condon). And the sale of packaged liquor would be restricted by another bill (AB 846, Luckel). It can now be sold from 6 a.m. until 2 a.m. The proposal would limit sales to between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Another bill carries the same restrictions except purchases would be permitted until midnight on Saturdays (AB 32, McMillan). The restrictions on vending machines (all by McMillan) would require the licensing of anyone with a machine dispensing any kind of tobacco. The bill does not yet include the amount which would be charged. Other bills would make it necessary for all such vending machines to be located where they are under the supervision... COMMUNITY CHEST LEADER—Ray Reafsnyder has been elected head of the Anaheim Community chest. Reafsnyder, of the Smith-Reafsnyder Furniture Co., has been an active worker in the Community Chest and other civic projects. He succeeds Judge John Shca. BY JEANNINE PANNIER This week I've got to start off with congratulations, because for the second straight year both the Varsiy and the Bee basketball teams have won the Sunset League championship. Upper classmen get all the breaks it seems. Well, anyway, any junior and senior student considering attending the University of Redlands has been invited to the annual University Day Saturday, March 3, at 9 a.m., to see and participate in college life for a day. Many activities have been planned for the day with the lighting of the "R" and a big jamboree planned for the evening. The ever popular AUHS Band will leave Friday morning on its first all-day trip in the band's history. Its first stop will be at the Capistrano high school where it will entertain the student body. Then the band will journey to Camp Pendleton Marine Base where it will give a full evening's concert. For the second time in two weeks Connics and Clems were hustled out of their classes by the sound of the air-raid warning bell. The students went to the different places of shelter assigned their classroom. It has been announced that they will continue to have this type of drill until students are accustomed to what to do and where to go. Rehearsals for "Not in a Thousand Years," the junior play, were slowed down somewhat this week as replacements were made in the SQR STORE OFFICIAL—Taking over the duties today as sales promotion manager of the SQR store in Anaheim is Harry Coughlan. He has held the same position with a large department store in Hollywood for the past year, and previous to that was with the SQR store. Mr. and Mrs. Coughlan live at 309 W. Center st. with their daughter, Connie Sue, a high school junior. A married daughter lives in Fort Smith, Ark.; and a married son lives in San Diego. Mrs. Coughlan has been an employee of the SQR for some time. Previous to coming to Anaheim, Coughlan was in sales promotion work for the Pollack Stores Co. in Fort Smith, Ark. THE TOPPER—Don Suydam crowns John Dunn as one of the co-winners of a just-completed Chamber of Commerce membership contest. Dunn, with his partner, Bob Crowell, had an impressive REFUGEE—Priest, refugee from Tibet, rings sacred bell (left hand), sounds equally sacred drum (right hand) to attract attention as he berg for food on Delhi, India, streets. THE TOPPER—Don Suydam crowns John Dunn as one of the co-winners of a just-completed Chamber of Commerce membership contest. Dunn, with his partner, Bob Crowell, had an increase of 37 per cent in his group. Other top scorers in the drive were E. H. McCoy and A. J. Schutte, 32, and Adolf Schoepe and Leo Hardpin, 36. The contest ended at 9:30 a.m. today. Sargum Sprout Sez WE NEED A BELL SHEEP Now that we have had a month to outgrow our New Year resolutions we should be able to look the world in the eye but there are few of us able to do so. We are so scared of the big bad wolf, or is it the Bear, that we are unable to look anything in the eye. Then if we are not afraid of the A-bomb, taxes will get us or some government limitation will catch us. The trouble is there is no place for us scared people to go. The air plane, jet plane, rocket ship has made this earth so small there is no place for us to hide anymore. We just have to take it. We want about our great nation, our leadership, our prosperity but still we are scared. A lot of us are like the small boy whistling in the dark we are just trying to cover up our scaredness. It would be a lot of fun if someone would come along and tell us where to head in and where to go. We need a "bell-wether" to lead the flock. The two "grand old Partys" are full of would be Bell-sheep but the herd does not harken to their tinkles. By Golly we have the greatest nation on earth, we have the best government, the most freedom, the most everything, why are we afraid? We need to recapture the pioneer spirit of our forefathers. They knew they were night. They did not compromise. We know we are right. Let us not compromise. We are all in the big wagon train of freedom. We may have to fight but let us do our part unaffraid. Only about a millionth of our fears ever fall due any way. —Sargum Sprout.
