NELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager Another March is here ... As a patriotic citizen of the United States, I don't mind paying income taxes any more than the next loyal citizen. I recognize that it does seem as though there must be minds at work in Washington in effort to make the job of completing a return just about the most difficult one the average taxpayer tackles during the year. Personally, I think it would be easier to make a watch. There are still days before March 15. On that date I shall rush out a few minutes before midnight and mail my return. So far I've just looked over Form 1040 and The Instructions. Already I have the old familiar symptoms of dizziness, upset and guilt-feelings. Can it be that the Treasury Department people in charge of setting forth rules, explaining them and designing The Form are nothing but cynical misanthropes? Do they hate taxpayers? After all, you can deduct contributions. You must pay on dividends. It can't be that they are inviting people to list more contributions, because once I read a long complaint by a tax official who said that if people really ponied up for charity the way their income tax returns said they did, charity organizations never would have to worry about their budgets. I have been reading the instructions, a pamphlet which come with my blank forms. I don't know where the Treasury Department gets its writers. Death missed a grade.

"Our hometown newspapers are in a unique position. Nothing can take their place in American life." This was the declaration made by Lou E. Townsend, vice-president and advertising manager of Bank of America, in a talk at the recent California Newspaper Publishers convention in Sacramento. "It is true," Townsend continued, "that metropolitan papers reach many of the 'home' towns tributions, because once I read a long complaint by a tax official who said that if people really ponied up for charity the way their income tax returns said they did, charity organizations never would have to worry about their budgets. I have been reading the instructions, a pamphlet which come with my blank forms. I don't know where the Treasury Department gets its writers, but I think they should be writing television comedy shows instead. I can't seem to make much sense out of it, no matter how many times I read each sentence. Probably the type has something to do with it—its size is that usually brought out for use in the parts of insurance policies and leases which people are always cautioned to read and don't until something unfortunate has happened. Right now I'm working over it with a microscope left over from a high school biology course. What I object to most is that dishonest feeling I have even before I start working on my trial-and-error copy with pencil. I'm trying to make an honest return, but I have a feeling that the government expects me to try something funny. And isn't it about time for the news to come out that this year every single return will be carefully scrutinized, instead of every tenth as before? It seems to me I hear that one every year about now. All I can say is that I'm making an old school try. One thing I'd like to know is about this Form 1040. Who is it gets the other 1039 forms. And who for instance, gets to fill out Form 1? 25 Years The Central Parish Association met Tuesday with a good number in All joined heartily in triotic songs.

Nothing can take their place in American life." This was the declaration made by Lou E. Townsend, vice-president and advertising manager of Bank of America, in a talk at the recent California Newspaper Publishers convention in Sacramento. "It is true," Townsend continued, "that metropolitan papers reach many of the "home" towns, and we could not deny them their function. But nothing serves the local community like the local paper when it is managed with the community welfare in mind." The bank advertising expert went on to point out that in these days of national emergency the roots of the nation's greatest strength lies in the "home" communities. The hometown newspaper, he said, "is on the spot, in its own family circle, the one means of dispensing critical information, of giving inspiration and keeping ideals alive." He also stressed the fact that the hometown newspaper is the means by which legislators and government circles can judge the temper of a community since it is accepted as the interpreter of community feeling on issues of the day. The radio, he said can never compete in interpreting the community. These statements, coming from one of the leading advertising authorities in California, confirm the view we have always held. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Flies of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The instruments for the new Anaheim band were received by A. G. Beebe yesterday morning. Some of the timbers from the wrecked vessel at the Landing were brought into town yesterday. The effects of cheap whiskey and abundance of shearing money was forcibly illustrated last evening on Los Angeles street. The first pay day of the shearing season took place at the store of P. Davis & Bro. yesterday. Many an empty pocket was filled by the transfer. Davis Bros. will handle the largest wool clip of Southern California this year. Mr. Barney Williams was the fortunate winner of the accordion last night. His throw was 42. Born, in Anaheim, Feb. 7, to the wife of L. F. Lewis, a daughter. Some are delaying the pruning of their vineyards for fear that if pruned, the new growth may be killed by an April frost. We believe there has never been a frost later in the season than April 10. The Zion Lutheran on Emily street, which the home of Rev. H. G. and family, was pulled foundations on Monday to Placentia. The c will erect a better house pastor on the site. T zers are living temp East Center street. Miss Winifred Me nephew Dickey, and keeper, Mrs. Konig, seriously ill with infli are recovering. 50 Years Ago Death missed a harvest at the grade. A wagonload of school children in a runaway narrowly escaped with their lives. On Saturday afternoon, as the children of the West Anaheim and Katella schools were returning from a picnic in Santiago, a large beet wagon drawn by four horses and driven by Loren Henderson, in which were seated some thirty children and two teachers, Miss Darby and Miss Spencer, was wrecked. As the wagon was about half-way down the El Modena grade the brake rod snapped in two, throwing the wagon down on the wheel horses. The wagon attained great speed and narrowly escaped pitching off the steep embankment. To escape running of the grade Henderson headed the wagon into the side of the hill. At the first impact the wagon lifted off its bed precipitating the children upon the side of the hill. Several were unconscious, many were bleeding and all were severely shaken up. Had the wagon fallen the other way, there is no telling what a harvest of death the Grim Reaper might not have claimed for his own. One other wagon containing children had gone on ahead and was miles away and out of danger from the runaway team, which plunged madly down the hill. Mrs. Fred Nickle was returning from the picnic, a short distance in the rear. She alighted and ran to the scene of the accident, rendering such assistance as in her power lay. By some wise forethought she had brought along a quantity of court plaster, bandages, etc., and these articles were put to good use.

She alighted and ran to the scene of the accident, rendering such assistance as in her power lay. By some wise forethought she had brought along a quantity of court plaster, bandages, etc., and these articles were put to good use. Among the injured children she found her boy unconscious and her daughter with a bad scalp wound. The good people of El Modena and Grange did all in their power to assist in caring for the injured. Professor Bird, Mrs. Kendrick and Mrs. Bertha Bennerscheldt, who were in a third wagon also assisted. Those injured in the wreck were Walter Nickle, serious injuries about the head and unconscious for 12 hours, was taken to the residence of Dr. Wood at Orange, but is now at home and recovering. Marie Bennerscheldt, severe scalp wound, is now recovering at the home of Richard Pearson, at El Modena. David Christen, cut on forehead and wrist broken. Charley Darling, unconscious, badly shaken up. Lola Duckworth, Maud Nickle, Gracie Sparks, Earl Spencer, Fred Weisel, Amelia Green, Percy Elliott, Clarence Breeding, Willie Huhn, scalp wounds. Gretchen Weisel, left arm and collar bone broken. Russel Evans, Mrs. Hattie Spencer bad sprains. Charlie Norman and a crew of men went to the scene of the accident Sunday morning and cleared up the wreck. He brought back the wrecked wagon which was run into the blacksmith shop for repairs. 25 Years Ago The Central Parent Teachers Association met Tuesday afternoon, in the Central kindergarten, with a good number in attendance. All joined heartily in singing patriotic songs. After the business meeting Miss Mackey told of her work among the Mexican women. Rev. A. G. H. Bode was present and gave a good talk. A meeting of the Executive board will be held next Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Jack Waltz. (Ed Note: Drew Pearson is on a flying tour of Europe and the Middle East, surveying the world situation.) ISTANBUL — Musings of an American loose along the highways and byways of Turkey—Most people don't remember it but Turkey once came within a hairsbreadth of slipping into the Soviet orbit. This was after World War I, when Europe spurned the liberator of Turkey, Mustapha Kemal, and Stalin wooed him... all you have to do is walk through the ornate palaces of the Ottoman empire to see how easy it would have been for Turkey to have gone communist, for communism comes from extremes—extremes of poverty and wealth. You're not likely to find Norway going communist because the Norwegians have found a middle ground, but in Turkey under the Sultans there was the same kind of luxurious living and the same kinds of extremes of suffering which existed under Czarist Russia. While Russia went to the violence and bloodshed of communism, however, Turkey, led by its modern hero, Kemal Atat Turk—Americans call him Attaboy Turk — escaped with a moderate state socialism. I remember Turkey — It has been just 30 years since I was in Turkey. At that time I was a young relief worker in the Balkans and Turkey was occupied by French and British troops. Turkish women then wore veils and it was worth your life to see a woman face to face. Today Turkish women not only have discarded the veils but have become judges and have the same wage rate as men — something they One was that almost every member of Parliament was in his seat, listening. There was no rattling of newspapers or rude conversations, as in our House and Senate. Another difference was that the presiding officer wore white tie and tails. Furthermore, Turks really work at parliamentary government, beginning their debates at 10 a.m. and continuing until 2 a.m., unlike our Congress which adjourns at 4 p.m. Americans in Turkey—There are now about 3000 Americans in Arkansas, most of them doing unique jobs.: One is that of Col. Francois d'Elescue of the U.S. Army, who is teaching the Turks guerrilla warfare tactics. The fighting Turks are supposed to be pretty good guerrillas themselves, but d'Elescue is giving them new training as a result of Korea... One American who causes the Turks to raise their eyebrows is U.S.Ambassador George Wadsworth, who plays bridge most of "See yourself as others see you." That old saw is especially timely right now when pepping up our appearances for spring. Is the coiffure a little long in back? Ought shades of make-up be chained season? How is the figure shaping up for a new Easter? To see yourself as others see you is a trick that can best be accomplished with the aid of mirrors. And not just any mirror but a good plate glass mirror that tells the truth. Oh, the luxury of a full length one that accurately reflects you Mirrors are being throughout the house and for decorative chen mirror is a best busy homemaker who ute to glance into it to answer the door properly placed in a house, creates an makes the room seem it really is. Modern coming to depend on oh both mirrors on charming interior Harry Ashley says usually a sharp chaperature that damps and he can repair with re-silvering come with a year's Good glass is the mess at Ashley's Glass Shop. Window glass automobiles or glass fine furniture from scratching. Harry taillures and then Charles Stone of Placentia was in town yesterday visiting old friends and talking over old times. Charlie's parents were among the original settlers of the Orange-thorpe section, coming here in 1868. He and his sister Emma and his brother Tom, and other youths of the neighborhood walked to school in this city. The school was located on the north side of Chestnut street between Los Angeles and Lemon streets. For many years he occupied the responsible position of zanjero for the water company and has possibly delivered more water than any man who ever lived in the county. Charlie has retired from active business and lives with his daughter and grandchildren in Placentia. The Zion Lutheran parsonage, on Emily street, which has been the home of Rev. H. G. Schmelzer and family, was pulled from its foundations on Monday and moved to Placentia. The congregation will erect a better home for the pastor on the site. The Schmelzers are living temporarily on East Center street. Miss Winifred Melrose, her nephew Dickey, and her housekeeper, Mrs. Konig, have been seriously ill with influenza, but are recovering. I remember Turkey — It has been just 30 years since I was in Turkey. At that time I was a young relief worker in the Balkans and Turkey was occupied by French and British troops. Turkish women then wore veils and it was worth your life to see a woman face to face. Today Turkish women not only have discarded the veils but have become judges and have the same wage rate as men — something they don't have in the U. S. A. . . Furthermore, it's no longer a sin for a Turkish woman to have gold filings in her teeth, as was previously banned by the Mohammedan religion, or to call in a doctor when she's sick . . . These are some of the things that President Ataturk abolished when he broke the strangle hold of Mohammedan priests on Turkey. George Marshall president of U. S. A.—Some Americans have worry. Up in northern Turkey really gave us credit for the Marshall plan. Turkey is one country where we don't need to worry. Up innorthern Turkey a coal miner was asked whether he knew President Truman. He replied he didn't not and added that he thought Marshall was president of the U. S. A. . . The Marshall Plan has been given the widest publicity and has done a good job The ways of buying tractors and organizing farm cooperatives under the Marshall Plan have been explained on the radio until almost every village understands American aid to Turkey. Turkish Congress — Turkey has gone in for democracy of the vigorous American brand. I sat in the balcony listening to the debate and with few exceptions, it sounded like our Senate debate. Kara, most of them doing unique jobs.: One is that of Col. Francois d'Elescue of the U. S. Army, who is teaching the Turks guerrilla warfare tactics. The fighting Turks are supposed to be pretty good guerrillas themselves, but d'Elescue is giving them new training as a result of Korea . . . One American who causes the Turks to raise their eyebrows is U. S. Ambassador George Wadsworth, who plays bridge most of the night and sleeps much of the day. Wadsworth startled Turkish society last month by appearing at a fancy dress ball wearing a fez. This caused many Turks almost to fall over in a faint, for the fez has been banned as a symbol of the past and for a long time it was against the law for any Turk to wear a fez . . . In contrast, the British Ambassador, Sir Noel Charles, had the sense of humor to attend the fancy dress ball dressed as a valet—the famous valet who sold all the secrets of the British Embassy during the war to German Ambassador Franz Von Papen . . . Von Papen was the German who tried to blow up the International bridge between Canada and the U.S. and the Welland canal during World War I. In World War II he was stationed at Istanbul as Nazi ambassador and his wife was approached by a valet to the British ambassador offering to sell highly important secrets. As a result the valet was paid $1,000,000 by the Germans and he produced a photofilm of the minutes of the Teheran and Yalta conferences—the best leak the Nazis ever had of Allied war plans. The text the valet delivered turned out to be bona fide, but the money Germans paid him turned out to be counterfeit.

Well, happened to a frie -Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor Florida oranges are again bringing good prices to the Florida grower. The concentrators and canners are "officially" paying a lot more money than Florida Mutual has said they must pay. Now all this should sound very good to the California grower. And it certainly should be very good for the California grower. But what if Mr. Fox of Minute Maid suddenly thinks of Mr. Wilcox and the "cheaper fruit" contract he signed out here in California last year? Wonder what kind of a price the Exchange will ask for "It's fruit this year?" Will the price be "cheaper" than is paid the grower in Florida? Will the Exchange continue to be able to "beat the world" in grower returns while selling "cheaper" to the big concentrators? Or did you believe that baloney? That was the saddest bunch of "gab" we ever saw or heard about. Some day we may get into the middle of that one and really give it an analyzing. But it would take too long and everybody would get too tired. But we hope Mr. Wilcox will not sign a cheaper fruit contract this year with anybody. As of the middle of last week Florida fruit was bringing, on a confirmed sale basis, $2.35 a box, net on the tree, and there were other actual sales up to $2.50 a box, net on the tree, if the processor did not have to pick at once. Remember that these figures are for mid-season oranges and that when Valencias finally get ripe the canners will pay more. Also remember that these are PUBLISHED prices and that they are not the idle thoughts of a demented California newspaperman. Remember, also, that Florida is again bringing her grower's BIG MONEY—in the BIG CROP year. This year, you know, Florida has the largest crop ever. The MONEY return to the grower is also very fine—and it is in cash. NONE of their fruit has sold for less than the floor Florida Mutual set. Compare that to our pitifully inadequate, topheavy selling organization, who are seeking above all to perpetuate themselves and their provident plan. They have put government control on California citrus growers with no government guaranty on price. As long as they are allowed, by growers, to dominate the market with methods at least forty years old and a philosophy antedating the "eye for an eye" stuff, then the grower will have to be content with what he receives, and no recourse, either. We hope Mr. Fox, if he buys California Valencias, will have to pay the California grower about as much as the Florida grower gets. Sargum Sprout Sez OUR COUNTRY GOING TO POT There are a lot of us that are sure our county is going to pot. Labor is getting out of reason, taxes are going to get us, our education system is all wrong and all our legislatures are crooks and the communists are everywhere. Gosh we are in a fix if we just think so. It has always been that way. When the Colorado miners struck for an eight hour day our people were sure that the end had come. Eight hours! Why no one could do a day's work in eight hours. Any way it would break business to pay for so little work. Then when they started to legislate child labor out we were cutting our own throats. Business had to have child labor to compete with foreign trade. It was too bad that children had to work but it was a necessary evil. To compete we must have cheap labor. Despite all our moaning and groaning children were taken out of the factories and the eight hour day has been established for all these years and still we are compelling. There has been always the few who head the parade and the rest of us drag along crying wolf! Wolf! Despite appearances this is a very healthy condition. If the leaders did not have to drag the load of drones they would run away and destroy themselves and the country with them. We must have a few isolationists, a heavy load of reactionists, to keep us traveling at the proper speed. Don't get all excited. We have always pulled the load and we will keep on pulling it. —Sargum Sprout. Charles Walker. She dined at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City and was so delighted with a rich wedge of chocolate-cake that when she returned home, she decided to send for the recipe. The kitchen at that time was the domain of the famed "Oscar of the Waldorf." I have never had much use for him since the time when, figuratively speaking, he poured cold water on my plans. Interested in the food field at an early age, I wrote to ask him about my chances at the Waldorf. He wrote back to say that at the Waldorf, women were employed only to peel vegetables! But to get back to the chocolate cake...and it is in cash. NONE of their fruit has sold for less than the floor Florida Mutual set. Compare that to our pitifully inadequate, topheavy selling organization, who are seeking above all to perpetuate themselves and their provident plan. They have put government control on California citrus growers with no government guaranty on price.

Hey timely right now when we girls are for spring. Is the coiffure getting to be shades of make-up be changed with theaping up for a new Easter outfit?

Good glass is the basis of business at Ashley's Glass and Mirror Shop. Window glass for houses or automobiles or glass to protect fine furniture from marring and scratching. Harry takes the measurements and then fashions the glass to fit. High Class Rummage The Anaheim Assistance League put on a rummage sale last week which was a huge success. The resulting funds which this organization will use in its many good works and charities were raised chiefly through the efforts of Anaheim homemakers—those who bought and those who sold. When I stopped by the sale, I found Mrs. John Larson, chairman of the ways and means committee doing about fourteen things at once but she took time out to tell me with a smile, that they were dealing strictly in "high class rummage." Mrs. Lee Deming had set up an ironing board and was ironing with a will. In one corner Mrs. Charles Pearson and Mrs. Charles Harbenson were having a discussion about the price tags, a perennial problem at rummage sales. I never really had a chance to talk with Mrs. Foster Warwick or Mrs. Ben Kaulbars, they were that busy bringing order out of the chaos of dishes, wearing apparel and hardware. Recipe with a History Did you ever taste a delicious dish in a restaurant and wish you had the recipe? Well, that is what happened to a friend of Mrs. I have never had much use for him since the time when, figuratively speaking, he poured cold water on my plans. Interested in the food field at an early age, I wrote to ask him about my chances at the Waldorf. He wrote back to say that at the Waldorf, women were employed only to peel vegetables! But to get back to the chocolate cake. The lady received the recipe and shortly thereafter also received a bill for $100. On advice from her lawyer, she paid it and took some small revenge by passing the recipe around to her friends. It makes Mrs. Walkers' favorite cake and is unusual because it calls for salad dressing. CHOCOLATE CAKE 2 cups sifted cake flour 1 cup sugar 1½ teaspoon soda ¼ teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons cocoa 1 cup salad dressing ½ cup cold water 2 teaspoons vanilla Sift all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Add the salad dressing all at once and blend. Gradually add the water and vanilla. Stir well. Pour into two greased eight inch layer cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. TIME FOR DECISION RANGOON UP—Burma Democratic party President Thakin Ba Sein has called for a nationwide campaign to stem the increasing momentum of the communist movement in this country. He said that Burmese "civilization and culture are doomed" unless the people now unite against the "dangerous ideology that's communism." U. S. BLAMED FOR INDECENT BOOKS LONDON UP—Home Secretary Chuter Ede has ordered a country-wide drive against indecent publications. They are said to be mostly of American origin. They are reprinted by small-town printers in this country, and are believed to be circulated through a lending library which spreads indecent literature throughout Britain. Some of the books are typewritten and leave little to the imagination. Traffic in indecent literature and pictures is said to have had a startling increase in the past two years.
