MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager Tomorrow is St. Pat's day... Begorra, lads, the whole world turns green on St. Patrick's day. From County Cork to California people roll out the green carpet of welcome and celebration for the Irish. And who isn't Irish on the seventeenth of March? The name may be Pat O'Brien or Jack O'Benny, Mickey Rooney, Basil McRathbone or Judge John O'Shea, but they're all the sons of Erin on the great day. Ireland may be but a small place on the map but its fame and influence encircle the world. Irish wit and humor along with the warmheartedness of the people of the Emerald Isle and their love of a good scrap have added much to the zest for living. Many of America's most prominent citizens are either natives of Ireland or of Irish descent. And what would we do for law enforcement without the Irish lads who man the police forces everywhere? To all the Irish and in honor of their patron saint we extend the heartiest best wishes on St. Patrick's day. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago There will be a festival at Enterprise Hall next Thursday evening. The proceeds to go toward purchasing a new library for the Sabbath school of the Presbyterian church. The entertainment will consist of music, vocal and instrumental, tableaux and a sumptuous supper. Ice cream will also be furnished. Admission 50 cents, children half-price, supper included. We are sorry to be informed of the shooting, at ElMonte, of Mr. Williams, a dealer in cord wood, well known here. It seems that it occurred in some difficulty with the husband of his step-daughter. The bullet entered the cheek, and passed out behind it. We are unable to learn how serious the wound is. Born—In Anaheim, to the wife of Amos Wright, a daughter. Died—In Anaheim, March 2, Flora, daughter of Rudolph and Malvina Luedke, aged 16 years. The band of twelve hundred horses bound for Chicago, started from Santa Margarita yesterday. Sunday night a lighter went ashore at Wilmington. The Los Angeles papers are clamoring for levies to the river there. 50 Years Ago Jake Vetter is carrying his hand in a sling as the result of severe bites by a dog. Mrs. C. G. McKinley has returned from her trip to Seattle. While late rains are needed to insure crops on lighter soils, much of the overflowed land near Los Alamitos is sufficiently moist to produce abundant crops. Mr. Knapp was in from Katella a day or two ago. He is making extensive improvements on his farm, and now has one of the handsomest places to be found in the neighborhood. 25 Years Ago The old house on East Center street between Olive and Topeka, formerly owned by Leopold Nemetz, is being torn down, having been condemned by city authorities. This is an old landmark, having been built half a century ago by H. T. Boldt, who used it not only as a residence, but as a winery. The house was built over a brick cellar which was used as a storage warehouse for wine in the days when turning apples into wine was not unlawful. The Republican study club met Friday morning last at the home of Mrs. Henry Adams on North Los Angeles street. Miss Frances Backs introduced the first subject for study, "The Preamble." Miss Amy Wheeler followed with "The World Court." Mrs. Adams discussed "The Constitution;" Mrs. H. N. White, "Political Parties." The strenuous job of moving the SQR store has been completed and the big establishment is now transacting business in all departments in the new home at Center and Lemon streets. It was a big job, as the stock is one of the largest in the county. The new building was especially constructed for the business and contains all the conveniences that could be conceived.

United States and asked some of his American newspapers friends about it. Their reply don't you realize that Americans boys are dying in Korea, we all face possible war Russia, yet Italy is doing nothing about it? The American people are getting tired of repeating the rest of the work. Rearmament was not in Sfora ballwick. Furthermore, it was in the ballwick of certain Ancans who talked to Sforza as rearmament. Both were on cate ground because he risked fending Italian generals; Marr Plan officials because they riled offending U. S. Ambassador J.Dunn, who follows the old-fashioned diplomatic theory that must not jog the elbow of foreign governments regarding domestic policies and he was reluctant crack down on the snail like poke of Italian rearmament. However, Sforza finally came up with a 26-page rearmament plan which was so confident that it was given to ECA office in the Rome railroad station Sforza's deputy so they would The Los Angeles papers are clamoring for levies to the river there. 50 Years Ago Jake Vetter is carrying his hand in a sling as the result of severe bites by a dog. Mrs. C. G. McKinley has returned from her trip to Seattle. Amos Jennings has returned from Sacramento where he has been during the session of the legislature and is now engaged in taking the assessment in this district. B. H. Bancroft was in town yesterday afternoon. He contemplates a trip to Santa Barbara shortly to visit his son, John, who is employed on one of the newspapers there. Bishop Johnson preached to a large congregation at St. Michael's church on Sunday morning and confirmed a number of young ladies seeking admission to the church. Max Jacobson drove through town some days ago accompanied by his brother from Colusa. Oscar Warling came up from Laguna on Tuesday and reports the Laguna Oil Co. getting ready to make a record attempt to secure oil at that point. W. J. Cole came in from Hard-scrubble Tuesday. He reports the country going into beets out his way. Monday morning's rain helped the young plants considerably. The strenuous job of moving the SQR store has been completed and the big establishment is now transacting business in all departments in the new home at Center and Lemon streets. It was a big job, as the stock is one of the largest in the county. The new building was especially constructed for the business and contains all the conveniences that could be conceived. All three floors are occupied by the store. The force has been busy the past few days showing interested visitors over the place and receiving congratulations of hundreds of friends. There will be a formal-opening of the store today from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. (Ed. Note: Drew Pearson is on a flying tour of Europe and the Middle East, surveying the world situation.) ROME—The inside fact about the new armament program just voted by the Italian parliament is that it was put across only after some heroic backstage wire-pulling which few people, even those in official life, know about. The behind-the-scenes story illustrates what terrific uphill obstacles the United States faces in both rearming Europe and inspiring internal reforms over here. The rearmament move really began when Foreign Minister Count Carlo Sforza, a great friend of the United States, became worried about the bad press Italy was getting in the Dunn, who follows the old-fashioned diplomatic theory that must not jog the elbow of foreign governments regarding domestic policies and he was reluctant to crack down on the snail-like plea of Italian rearmament. However, Sforza finally came up with a 26-page rearmament plan which was so confident that it was given to ECA officials in the Rome railroad station. Sforza's deputy, so they would be seen together. The ECA officials sent back word that the proposed plan chiefly called for more expenditures; the already overburdened American taxpayer and that any russian rearmament plan must so provide for Italian sacrifice. More conferences followed, out which was finally evolved to $400,000,000 arms bill okayed by the Italian parliament last week. Money Wasted by Army The new Italian arms bill calls bring about a complete end to communism here, provided Italy is able to get all-too-scarce steel aluminum and copper from the United States. For the new program should reactivate the northern automobile and tank factorio which have been virtually idle since the war, and wipe out Italian unemployment — the child cause of communism. However, the inside fact is a loss of money will also be wasted under Italian armament. The army for instance, still maintains huge farms, theoretically for breeding cavalry horses. Though the cavalry has long since passed from use, the army'elique refuses to reinquish its vast landed estates and Minister of Defense Randolph OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER WELL, HOW DID YOU fare in the March 15 Federal shakedown of the poor peasantry? It certainly gives one pause to total up the annual earnings and see the thick slice that the heavy hand of Uncle Sam has hefted. Large as this percentage is, we wouldn't mind the sacrifice so much if we HAD AN IDEA of where the money is going and what they are doing with it. Well over $100 BILLION has gone into the military establishment since 1945, yet Korea found the "most powerful nation in the world" able only to make the most feeble attempts to fend off a peasant army for several months after the outset. Surely it is not treasonable, or even unreasonable, for a poor, unknown, unheralded and unsung e pluribus unum to ask what they did with the money. I DON'T KNOW how you feel about it, but I find it extremely difficult to derive any sense of satisfaction out of the knowledge that 20 cents out of every dollar I earn is grabbed by my government to send to a gangster like Francisco Franco, or to a cut-throat like that house of a Tito in Yugoslavia who is made not one bit more gainly by the fact that he happens not to like the same bums we don't like. Have we any assurance that—when the chips are finally laid down—it will fight for our side? Couldn't the whole thing be part of a great conspiracy against the U.S.? How do we know that the Yugo-av dictator (who despises everything we stand for, and who once had his bandits shoot down American fliers) will not line up with mat grinning Cat-in-the-Kremlin, bloody old Stalin? In the light of fast performances, commitments, treaties, agreements and such with nose polyglot European governments, can ANY of them be trusted? TO THE COLLECTOR OF INFERNAL REVENUE: Take my dollars if you must, but I would much rather see you use them for cancer research, aid to the blind, crippled, insane, tuberculous (which would put an end to the humiliating annual spectacle of various associations and organizations in the richest nation on earth begging for pennies and nickels to fight such scourges.) Use my dollars for a genuine, sound, ECONOMICAL program of national defense. So far as I am concerned, you can use them for aid to the needy, for old peoples' pensions, for education of the illiterate . . . for anything that will help someone less fortunate than I, in THIS country, for I owe alliance to Clivia Thrives Equally Well In or Out-Doors The Clivia is an ornamental flowering plant of the Amaryllis family. It makes itself quite at home either as a potted plant in the house, the conservatory and the patio, or just planted in a shaded corner in the garden. Be sure that the spot is well shaded; however, for here is a subject which delights in heavy, deep shade at all times of the year. It is unusual that a plant which has such handsome, dark green leaves that it easily could be classed as a decorative plant, also has the rare free-flowing habit of the Clivia. Older, well established plants often produce up to 25 flower clusters in a single year. Amaryllis-like in form and appearance, the massive flower heads are brilliant in color and surprisingly beautiful. The principal blooming season is early Spring, but further blossoms spring up throughout the season, especially in plants several years of age. Potted plants seem to flower more freely when some root more freely. It is best to TO THE COLLECTOR OF INFERNAL REVENUE: Take my dollars, if you must, but I would much rather see you use them for cancer research, aid to the blind, crippled, insane, tuberculous (which would put an end to the humiliating annual spectacle of various associations and organizations in the richest nation on earth begging for pennies and nickels to fight such scourges.)

Let each take care of his own. BUT, I DRAW the line at showering the wealth of American citizens on raggle-tagle foreign governments. In the first place, the wealth of this country is not unlimited as a lot of people seem to think. Natural resources are dwindling, as will anything else which constantly tapped and seldom added to. In the second place, the ore we give to the international parhandlers, the less they think of what would YOU do if I came over to your house every time you had a little trouble and without asking for collateral, or without using anything at all, handed you a check for 10 dollars? You would begin to look upon me as a fool, a sucker, and an easy touch. Your doubles" would multiply, and finally you would take the attitude it would be silly for you to do anything at all to help yourself when that peculiar guy next door would take care of everything. If these words sound a bit strong, never mind. I expect to be an Alcatraz within a few weeks anyway. Forgot to list my Social Security number and affix my signature to the Short Form. The punishment might even be worse than that. They COULD deport me to Texas. United States and asked some his American newspaper sends about it. Their reply was "not you realize that American wars are dying in Korea, that all face possible war with Russia, yet Italy is doing nothing about it?" The Americanople are getting tired of proclaiming the rest of the world." Resmament was not in Sforza's wick. Furthermore, it was not the balliwick of certain Americans who talked to Sforza about resmament. Both were on deli-ground because he risked off-going Italian generals; Marshall officials because they risked ending U.S. Ambassador James A., who follows the old-fashioned diplomatic theory that you cannot jog the elbow of foreigniments regarding domestic issues and he was reluctant to sit down on the snail like pace Italian rearmament. However, Sforza finally came with a 26-page rearmment which was so confidential it was given to ECA officials by Rome railroad station by Sforza's deputy so they wouldn't Pacciardi, a devotee of David Dubinsky and the International Ladies Garment Workers, hasn't dared to buck the military hierarchy to bring about needed economies. In fact, Pacciardi has quietly appealed to American military advisers to pressure him for these economies. This illustrates in Italian bureacracy something which would make Senator Byrd faint. Commerce Minister Ivan Matteo Lombardo, commenting privately on this bureaucracy, once remarked "I have 13 stenographers. If I could fire all but three of them I could get some work done, but with 13 they just get in each other's way." This bureaucracy has piled up so many government servants that 86 per cent of the social insurance paid in by the workers goes to pay for government administration. Repeatedly, since the war, the workers have had their premium payments for social security raised but not once have their insurance benefits been raised. The increase goes to pay bureaucrats' salaries. Plants often produce up to 25 flower clusters in a single year. Amaryllis-like in form and appearance, the massive flower heads are brilliant in color and surprisingly beautiful. The principal blooming season is early Spring, but further blossoms spring up throughout the season, especially in plants several years of age. Potted plants seem to flower more freely when somewhat root-bound. It is best, therefore, not to repot the plants until the fleshy roots have so filled the pots that they are forcing their way out of the soil and over the rim. The best potting soil is a friable loam, mixed with sand and leaf mold. To induce free blooming all fertilizer should be withheld until the flower spikes are formed, then a light application of fertilizer will improve the bloom and heighten the color. Nurserymen say by Orange County Nurserymen's Association Outstanding plants for the perennial or mixed border are Delphiniums, or perennial larkspur. There has been great improvement in the strains—the last few years and no garden need be without these aristocrats. The English strains run largely to the darker blues, while the American strains contain mostly lighter blues and pinks. The Pacific hybrids strain has become a leader and most of the plants offered by local nurserymen are of this strain, which produces long dense spikes of flowers in many shades. Yellow strains have so far not proven satisfactory. The Belladonna strain bears large sky blue flowers on low bushy plants with finely divided leaves. Delphiniums are best when planted by themselves or back of low border plants. There is likely to be high mortality among the plants the first winter, especially in some strains. The best colors tend to disappear from large plantings, and it is necessary to raise new plants from seed. EAST-WEST BLEND—An furnishings in this lovely st., Anaheim.

Ordinarily this depends how the monthly carrying fee fit your budget.

They also argue that want to resell your house be easier to find a buyer have a sizable mortgage. They will not need so much cash meet your price and merely over the remaining payment the mortgage. Whether this is good or business depends on various factors and ultimately on your average person it is easy find bugs in those argument. 1. Can you be sure that stiles will remain as stable in as residential real estate? 2. Will any net profits be dividends and mortgage income amount to more than ch feed? 3.

Repeatedly since the war, the workers have had their premium payments for social security raised but not once have their insurance benefits been raised. The increase goes to pay bureaucrats' salaries. Delphiniums are best when planted by themselves or back of low border plants. There is likely to be high mortality among the plants the first winter, especially in some strains. The best colors tend to disappear from large plantings, and it is necessary to raise new plants from seed. Soil for Delphiniums should be well drained, moderately moist, with plenty of calcium. Refuse mortar or agricultural lime added to heavy soil is helpful. Plenty of organic matter should be added to get long spikes and luxuriant growth. Steer manure added in quantity some weeks before planting and the soil kept moist is very good. To get the best and longest flower spikes, several of the best spikes should be chosen and the rest removed. The plants should be given an application of commercial fertilizer some time before blooming. Following the spring bloom, the old flower spikes may be removed and the plants fertilized after a brief rest. This will bring on a second late summer or fall period of bloom. Mildew attacks the plants and spotted wilt sometimes is serious. Sprays are only partially effective, but planting in a well ventilated, sunny location and watering in basins, avoiding sprinkling, helps. Snails and slugs may be controlled with metaldehyde baits. Sowbugs are controlled with baits or chlordane dust.

Ordinarily this depends on how the monthly carrying charges it your budget. But there are times when a home buyer is prepared to invest more than a minimum equity. Sometimes he has a nest egg of bonds and other securities he can liquidate and thereby reduce the amount of debt on his house. Some people will argue that to do this would be bad business. They will tell you that you can get a greater return on your money in investments than the amount of interest you can save on your mortgage. They also argue that if you want to resell your house it will casier to find a buyer if you have a sizable mortgage.

Will you expect to resell your house, or like most homes it be your permanent dwelling? With money subject to devaluation in value under inflation. Real estate usually rises in value, which will you choose? 5. What price can you put on the security of your family and your own peace of mind in later years? And there are many other factors you can think of. The time-tested rule is to pay all you can in cash, carry as small a mortgage as possible, and pay it off as soon as you can.
