MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager PALEH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager Against communism in Orange county... Among its other good works, the Associated Farmers of Orange county conducts a great and militant anti-communism program. Spearhead of the drive which has done inestimable good in keeping communism in Orange county dispersed and bewildered is Jack Miller, secretary of the organization. Of course, Mr. Miller is not righting this battle alone. The schools, the churches, veterans organizations, and Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Citizen, are all in there pitching and altogether they are getting results. Every once in awhile, however, we like to mention the Associated Farmers and Mr. Miller because we feel that if you have an opportunity to hear Mr. Miller speak you should leave the dishes in the sink, the business to itself, and run—not walk to the meeting place. We feel Mr. Miller is doing a But apparently it isn't always possible to quit. According to a news story appearing in a recent issue of the People's World, the communist party seems to feel that it is presumptuous for a party member to resign. The People's World story concerned one Berklee Roberts of Los Angeles, and his wife Ether Roberts. When Roberts once an active community announced a few weeks ago that he was resigning from the party, the party would have none of it. The loss would have none of it. THE LATE RAIN the best valencia orng return to the grower) is no water to irrigate started the long fight combination with the Anaheim Union W Almost everyone to protect our water dams and other effort water for their crops. We turn this water orange juice known in practically give it away we don't miss our guesses the next few years. BUT TO GET BACK a new technique or some results in Santa Fe when clouds were "seeded Are we right about that? "Seeding" is on top of a cloud form and a lot of what is added "know where important ingredient." These clouds that days surely came to a would most certainly blown It would probably be of water that would be part of that? WILLIAM MULLHOOD in from Owens valley had the idea of spending that down on just how much answer: "Water is worth That statement does sense. We know that Every once in awhile, however, we like to mention the Associated Farmers and Mr. Miller because we feel that if you have an opportunity to hear Mr. Miller speak you should leave the dishes in the sink, the business to itself, and run—not walk to the meeting place. We feel Mr. Miller is doing a valuable and useful job for Orange counties by his close attention to what he calls "the communist conspiracy." (You know the Associated Farmers are causing serious pain to our misguided brethren because of the names they call Mr. Miller and his colleagues.) The red People's World (a newspaper), for example, gets mighty worried about these farmers once in awhile and tries to call them "fascists" in about the nastiest words they can muster. However, because of the red hot word slinging, you know even the writers on the People's World are convinced that the only "ism" sacred to Mr. Miller is "Americanism." Consequently, that makes Mr. Miller and the Associted Farmers a prime target for all the slime the reds can throw. But—what greater compliment could the communists give them? And that leads us into the general subject of those Hollywood boys, and others, who become "great heroes" because they were weak-kneed, joined the communists then quit when the party got rough. Probably the most fascinating reason that anyone yet has offered for having joined the communist party was Hollywood actor Marc Lawrence's explanation last week to the House un-American activities committee that he became a party member "to get to know the dames more." Lawrence's reason, for leaving the party was interesting, too. He quit, he testified, because the highbrow speeches gave him headaches. A great many ex-reds these days are publicly confessing their past mistakes. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago All were complaining of the intense heat yesterday. We consulted the thermometer and found that it indicated 92 degrees in the shade at 2:30 p.m. One of the pleasant features peculiar to our climate is the agreeable temperature which follows our hottest days. Last evening the air became cool and delicious to those who had suffered from the heat of the day. Walking John was ruffled off last evening in the presence of a large crowd at the St. Charles saloon in Los Angeles. E. W. Noyes threw 44 and R. J. Wolf the ring numbers. At the close of the raftie a bartering ensued, and the rival agreed that Noyes would pay $125 and expenses and take the horse. Mr. Snodgrass will also open a butcher shop at the depot. 50 Years Ago Arthur Porter of Fullerton, who has been quite seriously ill with pneumonia for some weeks past, is recovering and will soon be out again. Miss Minna Roper comes over from Santa Ana once a week to give singing lessons to a numerous class who are making meritorious progress in vocalizing. Miss Roper is reckoned the prettiest girl in Santa Ana and has a wonderful voice. She is going to New York to study singing under some of the leading instructors and will be absent several months. 25 Years Ago Oliver and Mrs. Peter L. Weisel have been on a family reunion at their cottage in Carbon Canyon on Sunday when members of the Weisel family were thrilled to enjoy a picnic that delightful spot. There were present Hans V. Weisel and Fritz Lily, Fred Weisel and family, Larsen and family of Hollywood, Joel Hiltschot and family of Jorton, H. Schallens and family Carbon Canyon.

Mother could are doing fine and Carb passing around cigars. - Colony Quips By the Gazette Farm Editor THE LATE RAIN brings to mind that this country where we grow the best valencia oranges in the world (for the least amount of money return to the grower) used to be a desert and will be again if there is no water to irrigate the land. The people who founded Anaheim started the long fight to protect their rights along the river and the combination with the "north Anaheim" settlers produced what is now the Anaheim Union Water company. Almost everyone knows what they have done over the years to protect our water supply. We also know about the aqueducts, dams and other efforts made by the people of this area to insure water for their crops. We turn this water into the most wonderful nectar, valencia orange juice, known in the world. And we let people like Mr. Wilcox practically give it away. But that is the growers' own fault and if we don't miss our guess the whole deal is going to get a cleaning in the next few years. BUT TO GET BACK to water. Do you remember hearing about a new technique or something called "seeding" that was used with some results in Santa Barbara county? We seem to remember that when clouds were "seeded" up there we got a good rain down here. Are we right about that? "Seeding" is a we understand it dropping a lot of dry ice on top of a cloud formation. To do this you use airplanes, photos and lots of what is termed know-how. We believe to this should be added "know when" and you would find it to be the most important ingredient. These clouds that have been hanging around for a good many days surely came to a critical time when a good dose of "seeding" would most certainly precipitate some moisture. It would probably be mighty hard to arrive at a cost per cubic foot of water that would be produced by a "seeding" campaign. But what of that? WILLIAM MULLHOLLAND, builder of the Los Angeles aqueduct in from Owens valley, had a hard time selling the powers up there on the idea of spending that much money. When they tried to pin him down on just how much each unit of water would cost he had a stock answer: "Water is worth what you have to pay for." That statement is a Resident of Southern California makes sense. We know that a river out here is a dry place. Anaheim High Opens Season Here Tuesday Fumbling, kicking, erroring six times Friday against Fullerton's Tribe, the Anaheim Colonist baseball team fell for their second straight loop defeat, 8-1, at Fullerton to remaltied for last with Newport. No. 2 pitcher for the Braves, Tony Padilla, had the Colonist's looking like a rusty gate swinging in the breeze as he set them down with only two hits—both singles by shortstop Kenny Coen. The Redskins pounded Val Weathorn for 10 hits, but the six SUNSET LEAGUE STANDINGS Fullerton 2 0 1.000 Santa Ana 2 0 1.000 Orange 1 1 .500 Huntington 1 1 .500 Anaheim 0 2 .000 Newport 0 2 .000 Tomorrow's Games Newport at Anaheim.

WASHINGTON — Republican leaders in the Schale have not been too happy about General MacArthur's talks with Herbert Hoover. It began when they were not able to get MacArthur on the telephone in Tokyo, and later earned that the general had several phone conversations with Hoover. Later, in Washington, their approaches to MacArthur'sout politics were politely ignored. The suspicion has prevailed, therefore, that MacArthur and he ex-president have been discussing politics at the Waldorf tower in New York. Such, however, has not been the case. Hoover did approach MacArthur, builder of the Los Angeles aqueduct in from Owens valley, had a hard time selling the powers up there on the idea of spending that much money. When they tried to pin him down on just how much each unit of water would cost he had a stock answer: "Water is worth what you have to pay for it." That statement to a Presidency of Southern California makes sense. We know that a river out here is a dry, sandy lake. We know that water is hard to come by but it costs money. We also know that a food glass of water is nature's best drink. (Except valleys orange juice and it is over 90 per cent water.) Water to us is worth what we must pay for it. We think that "seeding" would be the best kind of a gamble for Orange county to pursue. We think that the county should put a "seeding" appropriation in this year's budget. If the orange growers are smart we believe they will insist on something like "seeding" being given a good trial. Hope the Exchange does not turn "thumbs down" on this suggestion. We are simply advising it for Orange county. Citrus Report The California Fruit Growers Exchange reported today all auction markets California oranges were easier in spots.

Harnessing the Sun An appropriation for harnessing the sun's heat in Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California is now being debated in a House Appropriations subcommittee. The project, pioneered by the Smithsonian Institution, would use giant mirrors in our southwest deserts to catch the sun's rays and convert them into power. If successful, it would transform the now sparsely populated southwest into one of the great industrial areas of the nation. Dr. Charles G. Abbot, a pioneer in solar radiation at the Smithsonian laboratory, has two devices which he says will produce nearly 1,000,000 horsepower per square mile. He has also mapped no end of trouble and enabled the Warriors to build up a 3-0 lead in the first two frames with gift markers. In other league games Santa Ana, tied with Fullerton for the loop lead, walloped Newport 12-2 while Orange was blanking Huntington Beach 6-0 on a three-hit performance by Russ Heman. Anaheim plays its first league home game tomorrow afternoon in La Palma park at 3 p.m. against Newport Harbor—the team they're tied with for the cellar.

The Oxy tracksters won the title for the second year straight Saturday by outsourcing their combined opposition. The Tigers piled up 90% points while trailing were the University of Redlands with 34%, Pomona with 17, Caltech with 11 and Whittier with 10%. Several phone conversations with Hoover. Later, in Washington, their approaches to MacArthur about politics were politely ignored. The suspicion has prevailed, therefore, that MacArthur and the ex-president have been discussing politics at the Waldorf power in New York. Such, however, has not been the case. Hoover did approach MacArthur as to whether he was invested in politics, but got an qualified negative. Hoover then gave MacArthur own ideas about the Republican candidate for the presidency 1952 and went all out for Governor Earl Warren of California. Hoover unhesitatingly debed Warren as the best qualifier on the entire GOP poll horizon. Not given much to musiasm, Hoover almost waxed nauseastic about Governor Warren. Note—Warren, who ran for president on the Dewey set in 1948, has been almost popular with Democrats as a Republican in California. He also had considerable California labor support and, like Taft, would probably get invited to enjoy a picnic in delightful spot. There were sent Hans V. Weisel and fam-Fred Weisel and family, H.

Abbot, a pioneer in solar radiation at the Smithsonian laboratory, has two devices which he says will produce nearly 1,000,000 horsepower per square mile. He has also mapped out a 150,000-square-mile area in the southwest, which has cloudless skies 70 to 90 percent of the time, and which is the ideal location for the huge mirrors and converters. To finance some of the initial experimentation, the Smithsonian Institution is asking Congress for $102,751, but word has leaked out that even this small amount will be cut back because of the economy drive. “If only one-tenth of our desert area were devoted to power production,” Dr. Abbot claims, “more than 20 times as much power could be produced from solar energy as is used for all heating, lighting, transportation and manufacturing in the U.S.” Note—the question of sun power is now in the hands of a House subcommittee, headed by able Congressman Albert Thomas of Houston, Texas.

Drop 11 in Row By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer It is no longer a question of where the Giants will finish. Fans now are asking—will they finish? Thunderstruck by the club's 11th consecutive defeat, yes the Giants lost again yesterday—New York, random is wondering what Leo Durocher is going to do next. Just picture the Giant's plight today. The situation is almost unbelievable. This is the ballyhooded Giants, the club a majority of experts picked on opening day to win the flag. Now, two weeks later, Durocher's "my kind of club" is wallowing deep in the basement in dapper of dropping out of sight completely. The end is not yet in sight. Already in the midst of the third worst losing streak in the club's history, the despirited Giants must face the relentless Dodgers in Brooklyn again tonight. The Brooks have won all five clashes between these arch inter-borough rivals. Two more losses would equal the Giants' longest losing streak. They dropped 13 straight in 1902 and 1944. It was not until the sixth inning yesterday that the Dodgers broke up a 2-2 deadlock with a three-run uprising to pave the way for their 6-3 victory. Leonard Weaver and Fullerton's Pete Lae. Lae won the 100 yard backstroke in 1:08.4, captured the 150 yard individual medley in 1:45.9 and started the Indian medley relay which came within four tenths of a second of the 1942 league mark. Weaver captured the 50 yard free style in 25.8—only four tenths of a second off the league record. He also won the high board diving event plus anchoring the Colonist four man relay team of Wagoner, Hoffman, Clayes to a near victory. When Clayes finished his two laps the Colonists were in fourth place. They finished one inch back of victorious Fullerton. Al Clayes placed third in the 50 yard free style to qualify for the CIF trials, but didn't quite make it in the 100. He ended fourth. Dick Wagoner placed fourth in the 200 yard free style. The medley combine of Moist, Hoffman and Ladig placed fourth. In the Bee meet Galusha, Taylor and Schmidt placed fifth in the medley relay. Joe Critchfield after plodding along in third spot for most of the race, plodded along even slower on his lap to end up sixth in the 200 yard free style. Bell placed fourth in the diving while the quartet of Morris, Taylor, Schmidt and Critchfield placed fourth.
