MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager You're never too old... The oldster is getting a break. It seems there's a labor shortage developing, and younger workers are going into the armed forces or defense production jobs. Companies who thought a man was washed up at 60—some said he was unhirable after 40—are suddenly discovering that the oldster has virtues of skill, experience and executive talent. "Don't apologize for growing old—ninety persons are denied this privilege," the Controllers institute reminds its members who are looking for a job once more. The older age brackets offer a large reservoir of already trained ability. The Census Bureau reports that 12.3 per cent of the men and 13 per cent of the women in the country are over 55. There are 11.5 million persons over 65—one out of every 13 in the country—and both the number and the percentage is growing. Age groups on which the military draw, and to which industry normally looks for replacements—the 15 to 35 range—have been growing very little, if at all. For the oldster wanting to get back into harness, the Controllers institute has some good advice. The institute says medium-sized firms offer the best prospects. Other suggestions: Address your letter to top executives only. Follow-up letters are important as the application. Don't stay too long at interviews. Don't fail to send a thank-you letter after an interview. Don't be impatient because you aren't hired immediately after the interview. Taft.

HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago In pursuance of a call published in the Anaheim Gazette a meeting of the citizens of Anaheim assembled at Enterprise Hall last evening John Pischer was elected chairman and S. J. Davis secretary. Mr. Pischer stated the object of the meeting was for the purpose of devising ways and means to purchase a lot in Anaheim and to erect a school house large enough to accommodate all the school children of the city and district. Mr. J. M. Guinn read a bill he had prepared to present to the legislature empowering the mayor and common council of the city of Anaheim to issue bonds for $10,000 payable in 14 years. The bill was amended to read payable in 20 years at nine per cent per annum. On motion it was agreed the amount of bonds be raised to $15,000. The bill as amended was adopted and Mr. Guinn was instructed to write Senator Bush and Judge E. Evey to use their best endeavors to forward the bill to renew our city charter and for passage of the bill for school purposes. Adopted by mass meeting.

Ball is gatening final data for his forthcoming history of early day physicians in Orange county on which he has been at work for a year or two past. The doctor will have a treatise on every physician who practiced in this county prior to 1865. The history will be a notable volume of some 300 pages. Dr. Ball has a number of photographs of these physicians, of which engravings will be made for the embellishment of his work. He is very anxious to obtain a photograph of Dr. W. N. Hardin, who was one of the best known physicians practicing here 30 years ago. Dr. Hardin was frequently called into consultation by Los Angeles physicians, who later gained state wide reputations.

Committee OK Four US Divisions WASHINGTON (UP)—Two Senate committees voted unanimously today to approve President Truman's assignment of four more U.S. divisions to the Western European defense army. Over the objections of Chairman Connally (D-Tex) and 10 other Democrats, however, the committees, which are handling two resolutions on the Troops-to-Europe issue, retained provisions requiring Congressional consent to future troop assignments. Connally announced that the Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees had agreed to insert in the resolutions the stipulation that "the Senate (Congress) hereby approves the present plans of the president and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to send four more additional divisions of ground forces to Western Europe." Mr. Truman already has placed the two American divisions now in Germany under international command of Gen. Dwight ‘Over the Back Fence’ Pays Visit to Ellsworth Street My Anita Robertson This week the Gazette photographer and I visited three of the families living on Ellsworth. In this column I want to introduce some of the people who are your neighbors. Mrs. Fred Volz of 229 Ellsworth was our first interviewee. She came from Pennsylvania in 1919, the same year she was married. At the time her husband worked in the wildcat fields in He was stationed in Brazil at the time with the Signal Corps. He is an avid photographer, the two children are his favorite subjects. Janet is the extrovert in the family, the clown as her mother says, and seven year old Alison is the quiet one. Alison is also the proud possessor of curly golden hair that hangs to her waist. I noticed, as she came bouncing into the room on her return home from hotel one afternoon when an older gentleman rushed out and most hugged him. He was rather embarrassed, of course, and the gentleman apologized, explaining and showing him a picture of his son. Mr. Miller said that he himself was astounded to see an almost exact replica of himself. Then they introduced themselves and were again astonished to learn they were both Millers. Further Mr. AND MRS. FRED VOLZ Taft. Then he was transferred to the oil fields in Brea canyon and on March 3, 1926 they moved to Anaheim on Palm st.

Soon after, she married Deryl Dickson and they moved to Compton. Recently they returned to Anaheim to live with the Volz's as Deryl expects to be called into the Navy in the hot too distant future. When I walked into the Volz home I passed Mr. Volz in the front yard watering the lawn and the flowers. Mrs. Volz mentioned that she had done the family washing that day and was then getting the garden ready to plant vegetables and more flowers. We got on the subject of furniture and she mentioned that she was re-doing hers. She was upstering chairs and revarnishing goodwork. One of the pieces she was redoing was an old chest of drawers she had picked up at a second hand store many years ago. At the time it was painted fory color and she repainted it the same color. The other day she started to sand it down to the natural finish and repaint it. After she had gotten through three coats of paint she found that the natural finish was walnut and that the chest seemed to be very well, with the heavy scrollwork at antiques often have. She isn't sure, but she thinks she may have find. At the James Miller home, 221 Elsworth, little two-year old met me at the door. The Millers' have been married for years and have lived at the present address for four years. Mr. Miller is an automobile insurance agent for the Automobile Club of Southern California, out Fullerton. Mrs. Miller came here from who while her husband was in school. She attends the new Thomas Jefferson school and her mother says that the children are finding it difficult to study because the landscaping crew at the school is so much more interesting, but they like their new surroundings. Alison is in the second grade, and belongs to the Brownies. Mrs. Miller does most of the sewing for both children, and she likes to read. She says she hasn't inquiry and they found they were cousins. Time was growing late and I moved on to the next house, 217 Ellsworth. No one was home but the Millers had told me that there was a house in back too. So I went around and knocked at the door of the attractive home at 217½. Gene Beck answered the door and asked me in. We sat in the living room and chatted about things for awhile and then I heard voices from the kitchen, and Mrs. Beck, the former Betty Barnes, emerged from the kitchen carrying 17 months old Linda Jane, a tow-headed little beauty. About the most important thing in the Beck's lives right now is the new home they are planning to build during the next five months.

Mrs. Miller came here from who while her husband was in service during the last war. gotten a library card for the simple reason that when she has a book around she can't seem to get her housework done. The simplest solution to that problem seemed to be to omit books until she has lots of time. Mr. Miller told me an experience that he had during the last war while he was stationed in Washington. He was walking in front of a room and chatted about things for awhile and then I heard voices from the kitchen, and Mrs. Beck, the former Betty Barnes, emerged from the kitchen carrying 17 months old Linda Jene, a tow-headed little beauty.

Pete Mondorff and Herb Karpel will work for the Stars. Sargum Sprout Sez OUR SANTA ANA'S The wind comes over the mountains. We call them Santa Anas because they come down the Santa Ana canyon. The dust attending comes off the desert but where ever it comes from it is not conducive of good temper, peace and quiet. Fifty years ago these Santa Anas were really something. Some times sand drifts across the highway would reach 10 feet in depth. There are a lot of us who allow Santa Anas to boom up inside of us. We think we must allow steam or pent up emotion and outlet and we blow our top. When we blow off steam we think we have relieved ourselves and rid ourselves of damaging emotions. If we but knew that every time we allow our tempers to generate emotions to the blowing stage we are stirring up a lot of dust that settles inside our being that harms us more than anything we could do. These hot tempered guys must learn sooner or later that loosing your tempers and blowing your tops is more harmful to your self than it is to any one else. Some people say these Santa Anas are good for the land for they bring in new soil but they take off good top soil and the desert soil replaces. We would be better off without them. So Santa Anas, inward or outward, could be dispensed with very nicely. SARGUM SPROUT. (Ed. Note: Drew Pearson is on a flying tour of Europe and the Middle East, surveying the world situation.) ROME — The real, background reason why the governments of France, The Netherlands and Italy are having trouble staying organized today is that the fear of communism is vahishing.

He sprained his ankle sliding back into first base. ROME — The real, background reason why the governments of France, The Netherlands and Italy are having trouble staying organized today is that the fear of communism is vanishing. For a long time the middle-of-the-road and rightist parties in these countries banded together to form cabinets only because they had to do so to prevent the communists from organizing a government in their place. With communist strength disintegrating, these anti-communist coalitions are now falling to pieces. This is a real danger. For despite the lessening threat of the communists, they still have by all odds the largest boots of votes in both the French and Italian parliaments. In fact, Italy, with at least 2,000,000 card-carrying comrades, has the largest communist party membership outside of Russia, while France ranks second. The slim vote of confidence given the de Gasperi government in Italy a week ago Thursday illustrates the let's-get-out-noses-back-in-the-feed-trough attitude of the non-communist parties. For three years Alcide de Gasperi has been able to beat the communists and bring stability to Italy by a coalition cabinet in which the most important posts were not held by members of his own Christian Democratic party. Italy's minister of foreign affairs, for instance, is Republican Count Carlo Sforza, a vain outspoken peacock who has lectured before thousands of American women's clubs while in exile and who has done a magnificent job for Italian foreign affairs. Now the Chrissian Democrats would like to get his job. Another they wanted even more passionately was that of Randolph Pacciardi, minister of defense who led the anti-fascist Garibaldi brigade against the Mussolini Black Shirts in Spain, then bolted the communists when they got control in Spain and went to the United States where David Dubinsky's International Ladies Garment Workers took him under their wing. Pacciardi is vigorously pro-American and violently anti-communist but, beware and more juicy jobs to hand out to deserving friends than ever before in Italian history. For the new defense budget means the expenditure of billions of lira and under the tightfisted, unpolitical Pacciardi the Christian Democrats won't get them. Fighter for Democracy The man who blocked the hungry members of his own party and finally won out in Italy actually began life as an Austrian, de Gasperi once served in the Austrian parliament. He vigorously opposed Mussolini and, to escape execution by the fascists, took refuge in the Vatican where he worked in the library for 16 years, de Gasperi does not have the appearance of booming voice of a politician.

Eateries Granted Menu Increases WASHINGTON (AP) — The government today allowed public eating and drinking places to raise menu prices to reflect actual increases in food costs. At the same time, it banned any increase in their pre-Korean price margins. The Office of Price Stabilization (OPS), which issued the order effective April 1, said this will result in some rises in restaurant menu prices, and price rollbacks for those restaurants which increased their margins after July 1, 1930. Marion W. Isbell, chief of the UPS restaurant branch, said at a news conference that he expects fewer than half of the eating places to raise their prices in April food prices don't go above the present levels. He added that he does not expect such a rise in food prices. Trotters Put 14 As Top Horses Age CHICAGO — The UPS boarding association has put an age ruling on race horses. USTA officials, at their annual meeting, voted unanimously make 14 years the age of reelection for horses in one day last spring. Starting Jan. 1, 1952, no race older than 14 as of Jan. 1 the racing year will be issued a racing certificate. The state flower of Kentucky is Goldenrod.

Pacciardi is vigorously pro-American and violently anti-communist but, because he once fought against the Black Shirts in Spain and because the Christian Democrats are revenously job hungry, they almost upset their own coalition government yapping over his political carcass.
