One strange thing about getting excited is that it helps us forget that: 1. We may have just gotten over being excited. 2. When this is over, we'll get excited about something else. And if you don't think so, just remember some of the fevers of the past few months. The echo of one national excitement had hardly faded before our blood pressure rose over something else. There was always something else. At this minute the nation is steamed up over the Truman-MacArthur dispute. It's hardly a month since we had a high temperature over the Troops-for-Europe debate, the so-called great debate in which we wondered whether sending any the Russians had achieved an atomic explosion, two or three years before most of our experts said they could. And in 1949 a Senate committee broke open the five-per-center racket, we joined the history-making Atlantic Pact, the Navy disputed with Air Force over the Navy's role in the air, and there was the trial of the top communist leaders in this country.

It's hardly a month since we had a high temperature over the Troops-for-Europe debate, the so-called great debate in which we wondered whether sending any troops at all to our Allies in Europe was a good idea. Not as many people were as interested in that, though, as in the Truman-MacArthur fuss. And at the same time we were able to stay highly excited by the Senate's Kefauver crime investigation and the Senate's investigation of doings in the RFC, the Reconstruction Finance corporation. There was a lot of talk, too, about the unsettled question whether to draft 18-year-olds. There was, of course, a flurry of excitement when the Republicans in Congress voted no-confidence in Secretary of State Acheson, but nothing to match the excitement we felt in late November and for more than a month afterward. That was when the Chinese communists entered the Korean war against us, driving our troops back, a situation which caused the president to declare a national emergency. Then we got wage and price controls. And, of course, before that, there was the great excitement over the outbreak of war in Korea last June, the event which touched off a whole line of fever peaks. Although the past 10 months or so have been bad for the national calm, they weren't much different from previous years in providing a quota of events that frayed tempers and kept us fever-hopping. Take 1949, for instance: announcement by the president that IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anahelm Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL That list doesn't cover all the steaming events. There were others, just as there were in 1948: The 1948 elections which put the Democrats back in control of Congress and President Truman back in the White House, again to the surprise of experts. That was the year of the Berlin airlift, when no one could say whether the next day would bring war. The Marshall Plan for helping Europe got going that year. And in the House there was the investigation which led to Alger Hiss' trials for perjury and his going to jail this year. And the cost of living was still shooting through the roof, in spite of those Congressional experts who so confidently predicted that once OPA was killed, back in 1946, prices would go up briefly, then come down. The year 1947 had some events of its own, such as passage of the Taft-Hartley act after months of bitterest dispute. Howard Hughes' war contracts were investigated. And this country and Russia came to the parting of the ways. In 1946 the Republicans won control of Congress—that was the year OPA got its death stroke—after a tough campaign that kept the country agog for months. Enough for 1946. In the past six years none has provided the excitement of 1945 when Germany and Japan quit. Hitler killed himself. President Roosevelt died, this country undraped the atom bomb and dropped it on Japan, the United Nations got started after months of preparation and the Congressional investigation of Pearl Harbor disaster began. It seems safe to predict that before this Truman-MacArthur dispute has quitted down altogether, we'll be up to our necks in something else. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A complimentary dinner was given to Messrs. McConnell, Lambourn and Bush in Los Angeles last night. We are exceedingly anxious to know what our Legislators have done, to deserve any higher compliment than a kick. Parties were in town yesterday selling clams and mussels. Barley was the only freight shipped from the depot this morning. There were 456 sacks. Everything that had wheels and would carry passengers was confiscated to carry the merrymakers to the Gardens yesterday. The Planter's Hotel books showed arrivals to the number of 50 yesterday. It is not often that our citizens are taken in by the Heathen Chance. But yesterday one of the moon-eyed cusses wandered through Centre street with a box under his arm, and questioned several of our saloon keepers and sadlers in this style: "You want to buy piggee?" Naturally surprised that pigs should be sold in such small packages, one of our friends proceeded to examine. The "childlike and bland," requested him to apply his eye to a small hole in the box. Upon raising the slide to do so he was asasulted by a swarm of bees emanating from the box aforesaid, which soon made him remember as has been remarked before. "That for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the Heathen Chinee is peculiar." The advertisement of the Orange Hotel (formerly the Hyquian Home) appears in our columns today. Messers. Webber & McGibbon, the new proprietors, advertise that connected with the house are a number of baths which can be used by guests free of charge. 50 Years Ago Tim Carroll was downtown the other day and feeling good, over the prospects for an excellent sugar beet crop, fell to telling stories with some of the boys. Here is one of them: Three men, an Englishman, a Scotchman and an Irishman, were travelling along the wayside, when they came to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Fowler leave tomorrow evening at o'clock for Deep Creek, a tary of the Mojave river, Hesperia, on a trout fishing pedition. They go by way of mona, Cajon Pass and Victoria and then travel through Valley to the creek, which by waters from the Arrow and expect to come upon fish unawares sometime daylight. Bob was born and ed in San Bernardino and the record for catching more than any man up that waft expects to be home again on urday with a load of trout, in the creek measure twelve fourteen inches. WASHINGTON — A highlight of the current Truman-MacArthur controversy is the New York Times story summarizing the conversations between the two men at Wake Island. Because The New York Times story had the earmarks of being leaked out by the White House, some MacArthur proponents have challenged it, while MacArthur states that no records were made of the conversations on Wake Island. In view of this controversy, the Washington Merry-Go-Round's account of the Wake Island conference, published on Jan. 23, some months prior to the Times' April 21 account, may be significant. For the president can hardly be accused of any partiality toward this writer except in his choice of cuss words. Writing at that time — three months before the Truman-MacArthur controversy — I reported that: 1. MacArthur was so sure of victory he promised General Bradley that he would transfer one full division to Europe. 2. MacArthur assured the president the Chinese would not intervene. 3. MacArthur expected to get his troops back to the United States by Christmas. 4. Because of the certainty of victory, much of the conference was devoted to plans for reconstructing Korea. 5.

MacArthur completely dominated the conversation. What They Said Because the Wake Island conference now appears to be playing such an important part in the Truman-MacArthur controversy, the salient portions of my Jan. 23 Wake Island column follow: Only one clue was given to what Truman and MacArthur talked about in their private meeting. This was when someone asked the president about Formosa, and he cut further discussion short with the curt reply: "General MacArthur and I have discussed Formosa already and we are in complete agreement on the subject." Home By Christmas MacArthur assured Truman that he could "finish the job in North Korea" in a short time. According to the stenographic notes he said: "I hope to be able to have the 8th Army back in Japan by Christmas. I may be able to send a convoy into Pyongyang immediately." At this point, President Truman asked, "What about Chinese intervention?" MacArthur's reply was: "They could have intervened earlier when it would have been decisive, but that time has passed. We are no longer fearful of their intervention. Although there are several hundred thousand along the Yalu river, it is not likely that they could cause us much trouble." He also implied that he could "take care" of the Chinese, even if they decided to cross the Yalu river. At the same time MacArthur described his plans for completing the conquest of Korea, he also argued against keeping American troops in Korea. MacArthur's advice on the future of Korea was: "We should turn Korea over to the Koreans as quickly as we can and get out as quickly as we can." "Korea is a poor country," he said "and we cannot afford to impose an occupation on them military occupations are always failures: I want to withdraw all our troops as soon as possible." Troops to Europe At one point, Gen. Omar Bradley asked whether MacArthur asked the president about Formosa, and he cut further discussion short with the curt reply: "General MacArthur and I have discussed Formosa already and we are in complete agreement on the subject."

Hal Boyle By SAUL PETT (For HAL BOYLE) NEW YORK—If you want to get along with night club chorus girls, don't call them chorus girls. Call them dancers. Don't think that mink will make up for what you lack-in good intentions. Don't assume they're all nitwits. Many have been to college. Don't whistle or make passes at them from your table. They'll cut you dead. Don't assume they're dancing just to entertain the tired business man. Most have been trained in ballet and modern dance and are deadly serious about their careers. Don't invite them to your table if you're drunk. They won't come. And remember, in just about every decent night club it's understood the girls don't leave the place with the customers. Don't tell them about your California orange ranches or oil wells. These girls have been exposed to every line known to man or wolf. And if you actually do own an oil well and she smiles at you, don't draw any conclusions on your progress. Chances are she's engaged to marry a $75 a week trumpet player. Do try to talk to them about books and art and the more serious things of life. Many are well traveled, well read and well informed. Don't assume that girls go out on dates every night. "Most of us," says one, "are home four or five nights a week doing our looking, wholesome, levelheaded."

Mrs. Northam was getting ready to go out to Hollywood, in the Cahunge valley where Col. Northam is building an elegant new home, when she suffered an appoplastic stroke. Dr. Fletcher was immediately summoned and did everything known to medical science to save the life of his patient. Col Northam who was in Hollywood superintending the building of the home, was sent for but was unable to reach her bedside before the end. The only surviving child Mrs. Thomas M. Seilly of New York. She was formerly Miss Aud Northam. 25 Years Ago The Elysian club met at the time of Mrs. Wm. Dolan on Friday afternoon, and bridge was the order of the day.

Mr. and Mrs. Bob Fowler will have tomorrow evening at 9 clock for Deep Creek, a tributary of the Mojave river near Esperia, on a trout fishing expedition. They go by way of Poona, Cajon Pass and Victorville, then travel through Apple Valley to the creek, which is fed waters from the Arrowhead that expect to come upon the unawares sometime about night. Bob was born and raised in San Bernardino and holds a record for catching more fish in any man up that way. He sects to be home again on Saturday with a load of trout. Fish the creek measure twelve to fifteen inches. OLD MAIDS WANE IN ILLINOIS CARBONDALE (F) — A Southern Illinois educator, Dr. Sina Mott, says the days of the "old maid" teacher, who lived in one room and ate in the restaurant around the corner, are just about gone. Dr. Mott's statement is based on a study of 520 southern Illinois teachers in nursery and primary schools. It showed that the "old maid" with her book satchel, is being replaced by the teacher-homemaker with her grocery bag. Korea is a poor country," he said "and we cannot afford to impose an occupation on them; military occupations are always failures: I want to withdraw all our troops as soon as possible." Troops to Europe At one point, Gen. Omar Bradley asked whether MacArthur could make any troops available for Europe in the next few months. MacArthur replied: "Yes, I think a division can be made available early in 1951." Bradley also remarked that he hoped MacArthur wouldn't have the same trouble he had with American pilots in Europe shooting up railroad bridges that were needed later for rehabilitation. Laughter came when John Muccio, U.S., ambassador to Korea, proposed using sound trucks for propaganda purposes to sell democracy to the Korean people. This prompted the president to observe: "I believe in sound trucks. I won two elections with them." Today's chorus girl is far different from the girls in the line in the old days," says Don Fletcher, who employs 150 of them. "She's more intelligent, by far more serious, more moral, more mature, chic but not flashy or brassy." "We just don't stand around any more on a stage and look pretty," says blue-eyed Joy Skylar, a Fletcher and Arden dancer. "In the old days, they just lined us up in a straight line, we posed, kicked three times and were off." Today we try to do work with some meaning and taste. We frequently work in abstract patterns and doing a combination of ballet, modern dance and musical comedy. We don't stand around and giggle and roll our eyes. We play for an audience, not to them." Fletcher says half of his girls have been to college and about a third are married. "We want beautiful girls," he says, "but we also want girls who are smart."

Scent cents in coin. - Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor WE REPRINT today a little table such as Aesop might write on what has been going on in the lemon industry. If the reader is in any doubt as to what is being talked about in this table have him come into our office and we will be more explicit. If this isn't the direct opposite of "force enterprise" and the "American way" then you can call Joe Stalin "Goldylocks" and be about right. No government control has ever, to our knowledge, worked for the benefit of the producer unless there was a guaranty with it. We California orange growers have it in our power to legally guarantee ourselves a floor under out fruit the same as Florida growers have done. Here is the table: Once upon a time, there was a beautiful lemon grove snuggled between the majestic heights of the Sierra Madre mountain range and the Pacific Ocean, and extending from San Diego to Gaviota Pass. It was a very fine lemon grove. Some of the lemons it grew were sold in their original form. As new products were developed, an increasingly larger share were used to make a wide variety of products such as frozen concentrated lemon juice, lemonade, yes, and even cattle feed. Now in this beautiful lemon grove, there grew a huge giant lemon tree that completely dominated the entire grove. This huge tree would rustle its leaves, wave its branches and exclaim—"Look at Me, I'm big and huge, and my lemons are the finest that ever grew. Whatever I do, the rest of you have to follow." The other, smaller trees in the groves would listen in silence, and being patient trees, they plugged away doing the best they could. And despite the bombastic claims of the huge, big tree, the consistent, well-directed efforts of the smaller trees were generally just as good and quite often better than their huge, big neighbor. There appeared in the market place a new use for some of the lemons that grew in the grove. For, you see, the big lemon tree had decreed that only so many lemons each week were to be shipped to fresh fruit markets. The balance were sent to the land of low, slow returns to be made into various slow moving products. Now when this new product appeared, the huge big tree at first, shook its leaves in disgust and exclaimed "I don't want any part of this upstart. It is just a flash-in-the-pan. Here today and gone tomorrow. You other trees can waste your efforts and money if you want to. You'll be sorry." When the big tree saw that the smaller trees were not wasting their efforts in developing products and markets for these new products, the big tree looking, wholesome, mature and levelheaded. "The average age among our girls is between 22 and 24. If you get them younger, they're likely to be silly and gullible. You know, the kind who'll sit at a bar with a man, get drunk with him on three martinis and fall for his propaganda about having two million dollars." SUBSIDIZED BABY SITTERS PRAGUE (AP)—Nurseries, which will remain open for 24 hours, will soon supplement the system of day nurseries here. Prague's city budget provides for the nurseries so that working mothers can leave their children there on a day-long basis. There appeared in the market place a new use for some of the lemons that grew in the grove. For, you see, the big lemon tree had decreed that only so many lemons each week were to be shipped to fresh fruit markets. The balance were sent to the land of low, slow returns to be made into various slow moving products. Now when this new product appeared, the huge big tree at first, shook its leaves in disgust and exclaimed "I don't want any part of this upstart. It is just a flash-in-the-pan. Here today and gone tomorrow. You other trees can waste your efforts and money if you want to. You'll be sorry." When the big tree saw that the smaller trees were not wasting their efforts in developing products and markets for these new products, the big tree thought to itself, "I hate to admit it, but I probably made a miscalculation. Guess I'd better get on the bandwagon but big and fast." So saying, the big, huge tree started turning some of its lemons into frozen concentrates at a terrific rate. In fact, the rate was so great that it had warehouses just bulging with these products in no time. Apparently the big, huge tree neglected, like the sorcerer's apprentice, to learn the magic word to shut off the flow of lemons into canned products when its production far outstripped its sales. When the big tree finally realized just where it stood, it rustled its leaves louder than ever before, and waved its branches in a most furious manner and exclaimed "I'm the biggest and best lemon tree ever. What I say goes. If anyone doubts this, we'll hold an election here and now. I hereby cast my 65 per cent of the votes in my favor. I win!" "Now here's what we are going to do—all of us, because my 65 per cent says so. We will still ship some of our lemons to market. But, of course, after me the rest of you come first. That's fair, isn't it? After all, I'm the biggest and the best. Then whatever is left, we'll all pool. Fifty-five per cent of all your fruit has to be sent to my plant in the land of slow, low returns. Why? Because you fellows have gotten ahead of me with your new-fangled frozen concentrated products. I won't permit it. Up until now, you've been sharing my umbrella and making hay while the sun streams through its many holes. I won't stand for it, do you hear. I won't, I won't. I won't!!" "It's my considered opinion that 45 per cent is all the crop that should be concentrated. Perhaps after I sell my products and get my brand established I might change the percentage, perhaps. I'm the biggest and the best. If you don't think so, just ask me; I'll sure tell you, but fast. All the other lemon trees in the grove began to exclaim, "Why should we be penalized for being better?" "We don't want to send our fruit to your plant in the land of slow, low returns. We won't hear from it again for a long, long time. And when we do, the return won't be anywhere near the cost of producing the fruit." "Why should we limit our production of frozen concentrates just so you can work yourself out of the bad position you've gotten yourself into?" Raising its voice above the outcry of the other trees the great, huge tree intoned in its most autocratic tone of voice; "It will be thus." "By virtue of my vote, Sacramento will do my bidding. I have spoken." Unlike other tales that end with everyone living happily ever after, this yet to be completed tale would lead one to believe that instead of all the trees in the grove enjoying an improved lot, all will be pulled down to the level of the big tree. Returns from pooled fruit are going to be very, very slow in returning to the grove. And did you know that the big, huge tree did not even consult its member branches—the component parts that do all the work, take all the risks and gambles, and are expected to follow blindly—the lead of the tree as a whole before it cast its vote for its own plan? Indeed, this tale will have a very disastrous ending for all the member branches of the big and the smaller trees in the grove unless the decree made by the big tree for and in the name of its members is not drastically modified or eliminated completely.
