As part of Civic Progress Week, Kwikset Locks of Anaheim is holding "open house" on May 11 for the folks of this community. Here is a grand opportunity for Anaheimers to see what goes on inside the modern plant of Anaheim's leading industrial unit. Here is a grand opportunity to observe the Kwikset team in action producing fine products which fill a vital function in the lives and work of many, many people. Here is a grand opportunity to see the teamwork which makes the free-enterprise system the most productive and most useful economic and social system the world has ever known. You might think these things are "over the heads of the folks of Anaheim." spreading the true story of a part of the economic foundations of our city and nation. A story the misguided enemies of the American system everywhere try to distort. The open house also affords the families of the Kwikset team a real appreciation of their breadwinners' jobs, the conditions under which they work, and their important roles in the over-all production at Kwikset. Because of the size of a manufacturing plant's operations, individual production units may be relatively small force threw the 8th Army headlong retreat of more miles. Furthermore the army of last December w Here is a grand opportunity to see the teamwork which makes the free-enterprise system the most productive and most useful economic and social system the world has ever known. You might think these things are "over the heads of the folks of Anaheim." Of course, they are not. It goes on all around us every day of our lives; we are part of it. At Kwikset's open house, folks in the community have the opportunity to see the close relationship between all the elements (at every level) of the producing team. Here you have an opportunity to see the power of the team as it pulls together; and the machinery and other physical properties harnessed to create the products which contribute to our civic and national wealth and to our standard of living. Here you have an opportunity to see the free-enterprise system at work; to see how the joint effort of all the folks at Kwikset contributes, in general, to our welfare. People who see this impressive "story" of the teamwork at Kwikset will pass it on to others; IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY EUCHEL 75 Years Ago A large crowd or lannes assembled last evening to witness the opening of the new dress goods at Goodman and Rimpaua. We were particularly struck with some caulicoe of the American flag pattern and intend ordering a suit soon. We have heard many expressions of regret at the announcement of the contemplated departure of Miss Lafaucherie. This lady we learn, will leave for the East next week. Mr. P. Pelegrin is setting out pleasure of the party. A large dancing floor was prepared and excellent music was in attendance. Luxuries of all descriptions were in abundance and a general good time was the result. Mr. Charles Lefond has retired from the management of the Tivoli Gardens. A horse was stolen from the stable of Mr. I. Cohen on Monday. 50 Years Ago An enjoyable entertainment was given at the opera house on guided enemies of the American system everywhere try to distort. The open house also affords the families of the Kwikset team a real appreciation of their breadwinners' jobs, the conditions under which they work, and their important roles in the over-all production at Kwikset. Because of the size of a manufacturing plant's operations, individual production units may be removed from the finished product. But, an open house gives everybody the opportunity to see how the team's operations mesh. Actually, in a well-sign plant the final product is a final miracle of the hands and minds of everyone at the plant—each in his own job, each in his own skills. The purpose of this article is to remind our readers of the factors right under our eyes which make the American system the wonderful thing it is. We just want to point out that Kwikset's open house is more than the merely "looking over a plant." If an opportunity to observe how an effective part of America—personnel and management—works together for everybody's good; it is an opportunity to see how our American free-enterprise system actually operates.

Previously, the men American forces were rooted and easily outflanked by nene, who swarmed through backwoods and rice paddies, keeping off main hirdway has now moved fantry off the roads, and them to fight on the common ground.

This lady we learn, will leave for the East next week. Mr. P. Pelegrin is setting out orange trees on six acres of his land, southwest of Dr. Hardin's orchard. It is possible that Mr. Pellegrin will build a house on the tract. The holders of protested warrants against the late lamented city corporation, are about to take steps to compel the payment of same.

Mr. Gustav Davis is making improvements on his elegant property on Lemon street, preparatory to moving thither with his family. The new house of Louis Durr on Lemon street is nearly completed and yesterday was given an outside cost of paint. It is estimated that about four hundred people were on the picnic grounds at Cowan's Grove to celebrate May Day. Everything was furnished for the comfort and good time was the result. Mr. Charles Leond has retired from the management of the Tivoli Gardens. A horse was stolen from the stable of Mr. I. Cohen on Monday. 50 Years Ago An enjoyable entertainment was given at the opera house on Monday evening for the purpose of procuring funds for the purchase of a flag for the high school. Quite a sum of money was secured for the laudable purpose. Much of the credit for the performance is due Mrs. Schneider, who took an active part in arranging the affair. The program included selections by the Fullerton orchestra and Glee Club, a minstrel overture by the Fullerton high, a May pole dance by Fullerton high school girls, vocal solos by Miss Melanie Cahen, Miss Grace Smith, Miss Christine Nelson and Miss Edna Wilder. A short play, "A Cyclone for a Cent," in which parts were taken by Charles Schindler, Mary Mills, Eugene Bayha, Faith Roberts, Louisa Paschall and Fay McKinley. The entertainment concluded with a social hop. The landlord (Joseph Helmsen) is telling a new story about an Irishman, just over, who had been hold money, could be picked up in the streets of America. Pat was walking along a public thoroughfare one day shortly after his arrival and seeing a tin tag lying upon the sidewalk, picked it up, imagining it was money. He went to the nearest saloon, tossed it upon the bar-and-called for a 25 Years Ago John Hartung, pioneer of heim passed away on Friday St. Catherine's hospital Monica after an illness of months.

Later he embarked banking business and was one the organizers and for some president of the First New Bank. He was married to Marie Chevalier of Los Angeles who survives Jim. One son J. Hartung, also survives H. A number of local men living J. E. Schumacher, J. E. Brus, Wm. Heiling, P. S father, C. Lindlow, and O Roman visited the new gold section of the desert area Randsberg.

Truman took this precaution, first because it had been known for some time that the offensive was coming, second because he also knew what a catastrophic torrent of criticism would be heaped on his head if after relieving MacArthur, U.N. forces suffered a staggering defeat. Gen. Ridgway cabled back that his forces could hold. He went further and stated that he could hold against any enemy attack for 60 days—even without reinforcements. The Pentagon, reporting this to the White House, said they had complete confidence in Ridgway, so Truman shot the works with MacArthur. There are several important reasons for this confidence, all going to the tremendously improved fighting quality and command of American troops. Last December a Chinese army only half as big as that facing us today, was thrown against the U.N. It was not one million men as MacArthur announced. Yet that relatively small Chinese force threw the 8th Army for a headlong retreat of more than 120 miles. Furthermore the Chinese army of last December was poorly Last December a Chinese army only half as big as that facing us today, was thrown against the U.N. It was not one million men as MacArthur announced. Yet that relatively small Chinese force threw the 8th Army for a headlong retreat of more than 120 miles. Furthermore the Chinese army of last December was poorly equipped with small arms and almost no heavy artillery. Today, twice as many Chinese are attacking, equipped with twice the firepower of last December, Menwhile U.M. forces are only slightly bigger than as of last December. Chief change between now and then, however, is in American fighting spirit and strategy, for which Lt. Gen. Matt Ridgway serves most of the credit. Here is what he has done: American Guerrillas 1. Previously, the mechanized American forces were roadbound and easily outflanked by the Chinese, who swarmed through the backwoods and rice paddies, usually keeping off main highways. Ridgway has now moved his infantry off the roads, and trained them to fight on the communists' own ground. Instead of relying on trucks and jeeps, Ridgway has hired South Korean bearers to haul supplies to GIs who are dug in off the highways. Ridgway also has used guerrilla-trained American Rangers to harass the enemy behind their lines. 2. Ridgway has moved cautiously, and patrolled every step of the way, instead of racing class of beer. "That's tin," said the barkeeper. "It is" replied Pat, then have one wid me, I thought was only a five." 3. Was only a five." The landlord will spring the story on Tim Caroll, the first time Tim comes to town. 25 Years Ago John Hartung, pioneer of Anaheim passed away on Friday at t. Catherine's hospital Santa Monica after an illness of several months. The funeral service of the Elks Lodge was performed by ahead pill-mell, as L.A. Gen. Edward Almond and the late Gen. Walden Walker did last November to see whose troops could reach the Yalu river first. Ridgway also keeps tight liaison between his front-line commands, in contrast with the Eighth Army and Tenth Corps last November which were forced to keep in touch with each other through Tokyo, a thousand miles away. 2. Ridgway has reorganized his command down to the company level. This got rid of incompetent officers and gave the men new confidence in their commanders. 4. Ridgway has also bolstered the South Korean troops, who fight ferociously against North Koreans but flee in panic from the Chinese. Ridgway gave the South Koreans a taste of victory over the Chinese by integrating South Korean and American units and throwing them into battle side by side. Ridgway also assigned South Korean soldiers to count the Chinese dead. This has helped, but not overcome the South Koreans' psychological fear of the Chinese. Army Reserves Protest Army and Air Force reserve officers have registered plain-spoken protests with General "Lightning Joe" Collins, the Army Chief of Staff, and the House Armed Services committee about the shoddy treatment of reserves. "The morale of a large percentage of reserve officers on active duty is at an all-time low," protested Colonel C. M. Boyer of the Reserve Officers association. "The system breeds a group of 'yes men' rather than officers who can think and act independently." The grines are threefold: Hal Boyle NEW YORK (UP)—An open letter to Joseph Stalin, care of the Kremlin, Moscow: Dear Mr. Stalin: As one Joe to another, I am just writing to wish you a happy May Day. This is supposed to be an international holiday for the working man, and us fellows in the third squad kind of wonder how you are celebrating it. You guys in the Kremlin knocking off early today to watch the big parade? And afterward I'll bet you'll be hip-deep in caviar and vodka. Pretty nice, Joe, you've got it made. That's the way for a working man to live. You've become the poor man's rich man in Russia. Too bad you can't be with us here in Korea. We're having a parade also. But it's a noisy parade, and just means more work for us. That's enough to make a guy see red, and boy are we seeing red? Nothing but red—red Chinese. They organized this May Day parade, and it's one big bloody mess. It's in your honor, Joe, and in the villages north of us your propaganda agents are busy again pasting up your picture on every house door. The liberated Koreans are cheering for you at gun point. This parade is the third one your boys have organized to throw us out of Korea. It's the bloodiest one so far, but much as we hate to mess up your party we don't think the parade is going to get all the way down to Pusan. We'll give you one thing, Joe. Your parades are hard to break Why don't you give working men of the world instead of just another promise? You're getting up in man. You don't have left. Soon you're gong start a final solitary your own—to the God believe in. You don't want to last march alone with you still wet with the red by working men you all you wanted to help do. See you at parade reenewn't be much longer. G. I. Joe of the third Korea.

Mr. Hartung was born in the Hartz mountains, Germany, March 17, 1858. He came to America when four years, of age and in 1868 the family came Anaheim. He lived here continually until five years ago when took up his home in Venice in march of health. He lived here 53 years and engaged in wineiking. Later he embarked in banking business and was one of the organizers and for some years president of the First National Bank. He was married to Miss Marie Chevalier of Los Angeles who survives Jim.

KARACHI, Pakistan, (AP)—Pakistan this year aims at a record export of 25,000,000 pounds of wool. There has been an increased demand for Pakistan wool from world markets in recent months. This is due to three reasons: China is not exporting any wool, India has imposed a ban on wool export, and Tibet will not be in a position to export with the Chinese invading the country. The morale of a large percentage of reserve officers on active duty is at an all-time low," protested Colonel C. M. Boyer of the Reserve Officers association. "The system breeds a group of 'yes men' rather than officers who can think and act independently." The gripes are threefold: while Regular Officers are serving a grade or two above their permanent rank, the reserves are put below their permanent reserve status. Some Army and Air Force reservists after sweating out training to qualify them for a reserve promotion, must requalify, now that they are back in uniform. Promotions of reserves are based on paper records. If the Army wants to promote 15 majors to lieutenant colonels, 45 records are pulled out and the top third on paper elevated. The others are marked as "passed over." "It's like the fellow who ordered rabbit hash," commented Col. Boyer. "He found it was mostly horse meat and asked the cook why he dared call it rabbit hash. The cook answered, 'well, it's 60-50, one rabbit and one horse.' This policy is one horse, too." This parade is the third one your boys have organized to throw us out of Korea. It's the bloodiest one so far, but much as we hate to mess up your party we don't think the parade is going to get all the way down to Pusan. We'll give you one thing, Joe. Your parades are hard to break up. But your Chinese marchers don't have much choice. They have our guns in front of them—and your guns behind them to keep them from turning and running for home. Being reds is no fun for those poor peasants. Red is the color of life, Joe, but for them red is also the color of death. We idle so many of them that sometimes we have to pull back because our guns are too hot to fire anymore. At your age, Joe, you should be ashamed of playing with puppets. Live puppets at that. Why don't you call off your little puppet show, and play at a big game called peace? The funny thing about your May Day parade is that the working man in Korea doesn't like it. They don't want it. And most of them aren't staying to watch your festival. They're leaving their homes to fall back with us. Why? Because they don't believe in either your parades or your promises. They don't think you remember what it is to be an honest working man. Korea is a lovely land right now, Joe. The wild flowers are coming out in the hills, the rice plants are greening in the west paddles. But your big red parade is ruining the land. Why don't you call it off, Joe? OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER WITH WAR AND rumors of war, and with reservists daily being called to the colors, World War II veterans surely wonder about their status and ponder on the eventuality of another tour of duty. In a national disaster such as an atomic bombing or a repeat of the Pearl Harbor thing, the old veterans could be yanked back in short order. For, despite the seemingly incredible inefficiency, stumbling and bumbling in Washington, they will never get so careless that they will mislay your military service record. They might scatter dollars to the four winds, with the abandon of a maid decking the sward with spring daisies, but don't think for a minute that they lose track of the nation's manpower. Your service record will remain carefully preserved in the National Archives long after your bones have gone back to dust. Your service record is what they call a "perpetual document." THE OLD VETS are undoubtedly wondering if the Army is still run on the "order, counter-order and disorder" theory, and if "hurry up and wait" is still S. O. P. There is no reason to believe that things are much different. The old veteran remembers with a bitter smile some of the apparently stupid things he was required to do. This old vet does. It was in the summer of 1942 on the idyllic semi-tropical island of New Caledonia that the following episode took place. New Caledonia, a cigar-shaped island some 350 miles long and 50 miles wide, lies about 1200 miles from Australia on the fringe of the Coral Sea. It is a beautiful South Sea place, the kind you see in the movies. It differs somewhat with the movie version, however, in that the native women, instead of singing and dancing for you, would rather throw cocoanuts or poisoned darts. Our platoon of some 54 men was stationed in a valley in the interior of the island to act as a liaison group for communications. The valley, sheltered on three sides by towering and verdant mountains, was called by the French colonists "Vallee Splendide." It was all of that. The floor of the valley was carpeted with a grass that gave it the appearance of a golf course. Thousands of cocoanut palms gave us welcome shade, and at night their graceful fronds seemed to Why don't you give the real working men of the world a break instead of just another empty promise? You're getting up in years, old man. You don't have much time left. Soon you're gong to have to start a final solitary parade of your own—to the God you don't believe in. You don't want to start that last march alone with your hands still wet with the red life shed by working men you always said you wanted to help, do you? See you at parade rest, Joe. It won't be much longer. G. I. Joe of the third squad, Korea. Our platoon of some 54 men was stationed in a valley in the interior of the island to act as a liaison group for communications. The valley, sheltered on three sides by towering and verdant mountains, was called by the French colonists "Valee Splendide." It was all of that. The floor of the valley was carpeted with a grass that gave it the appearance of a golf course. Thousands of cocoanut palms gave us welcome shade, and at night their graceful fronds seemed to drip with liquid tropical moonlight. We had it nice. There was a cool, crystalline mountain stream racing right down through our bivouac, and it was loaded with trout, bass, and uncounted other species of game fish. This stream coursed within 50 feet of the bamboo mess hall, and its water was drinkable and cookable, but do you think our lieutenant would let us use it? If you do, you ain't been in the army. On one of his scouting expeditions up in the mountains, the lieutenant had run across a spring, and upon his return to camp announced to his astonished platoon that we would build a bamboo vladuct from that spring, some three miles from us, right down to the mess hall. There was the usual demurring, muttering, and grumbling, but the work commenced, and it lasted four weeks, eight hours a day. Huge bamboo poles, four inches in diameter and averaging 40 feet long, were split, hollowed out, and used to construct a trough from that spring clear down to our camp, around huge boulders, over yawning crevasses. SPACE LIMITS detailed description of the entire project, with its many humorous incidents and incongruities, but I can report that after four weeks of labor by some 50 men, which on the free market would have amounted to something like $25,000 in wages, we had the pipeline constructed, and the mess sergeant could hold his kettles under a cool, clear stream of water right in his own tent, 10,000 miles from U.S. plumbing. It was a great event when the last section of the viaduct was completed, and the lieutenant made a little speech praising the platoon for its diligence, enterprise, and loyalty in this project to bring a constant supply of pure, fresh water to camp. As he talked, we thrilled to the gurgling of the water as it completed its last lap of the long journey, and we were proud. But a scant two hours after this little ceremony, a courier from battalion headquarters roared into camp in a jeep, and he bore orders for the lieutenant. I can still hear the gurgling of the mess sergeant—a grown man—who wept unashamedly into his pots as his crew tore down the mess hall and ripped out the bamboo plumbing. The platoon has been ordered to a spot 150 miles away, starting immediately.
