MELLEN Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager Civic progress planning... Civic Progress Week began to day in Anaheim. During this week many words will be said about planning, transportation, recreation, and other subjects which are part and parcel of a progressive city. If you have a chance to visit any of the meetings it should be worth your while to look in on them. A lot of good information is going to be developed in the sessions. Hearing it should stimulate your interest in Anaheim and its future. Much of the week is to be devoted to "planning." Nothing is more important to any growing area than "planning." Planning in all things, but above all in the physical growth of the city. When you have visited the folks back east, do you notice that some towns along the way seem to an- of planning, we would like to introduce once more the idea that Anaheim could make no better move than to get some sort of a working understanding with Fullerton on the No-Man's land between the two cities. If the vast and important area which now separates the two cities on Anaheim's north is ever to come within the city limits of either of the two cities there must be some sort of a plan to receive the new land. Otherwise there will be a continuing running battle between the two cities to see which one can annex separate parcels of land. The people who live in the area aren't too keen about having that happen—and many of them will have to be shown WASHINGTON — They tell that woman members of Congress aren't smart, that they don't measure up in rough-and-tumble debate, don't know the tricks backstage wire-pulling. However, it took a lady to oo smart the most powerful Republican in the Senate—Bob Taft Ohio. Last fall, Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, Republican Maine, was bumped off the Senate Investigating committee. The man who initiated her ex-Was Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin who wanted revenge for Mrs. Smith's "declaration conscience" in which she urged a fair hearing for those recounted lessly and falsely smeared by McCarthy. However, Mrs. Smith would have been dropped from the investigating committee had it been for Senator Taft's cover support for McCarthy. It was Taft, rather than McCarthy, who really gave the ax to the la Senator from a Mine. Mrs. Smith had little to say at the time. She smiled sweetly bided her time, and worked at another committee job investigating the Maryland elections. Several times Senator Taft tried to pour cold water on the Maryland probe, claiming that the election scandals in Maryland were peanuts compared to what happened in Ohio. The election committee should take a go look at Ohio, he said, if it wants to unearth real skulduggery. So Mrs. Smith quietly took Senator Taft at Anaheim. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Mr. Wartenburg's team took a little pasear on their own account on Center street yesterday. It was good fun for the horses and did not seem to annoy Wartenburg, who is probably used to it by this time. Taken up for trespass and damages, a bright bay saddle mare, with blaze in her face, belonging to James Villas, Jr. The owner is requested to come forward, prove property pay change places for a week with Judge Waldo M. York of the Los Angeles Superior Court, beginning tomorrow. 25 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fischer of Los Angeles, the former's gister, Mrs. Anna De Frees and his son-in-law, O. C. Whitaker were in town last week. He is a son of the late John Fischer, a pioneer of Anaheim, who built the Planters Hotel—in its day the most pretentious building between Los An limits of either of the two cities there, must be some sort of a plan to receive the new land. Otherwise there will be a continuing running battle between the two cities to see which one can annex separate parcels of land. The people who live in the area aren't too keen about having that happen—and many of them will have to be shown how advantageous it would be for them to come within city limits. An irregular, checkerboard system of annexation in the Orangethorpe area could produce some real problems in providing schools, streets, sewers, utilities, police; fire protection, etc., for the residents and business firms of the area. What to do about it? Get the Anaheim Planning commission and the Fullerton Planning commission into a huddle. Both cities use planning consultant Gordon Whitnall as an advisor, both cities have well-informed members on their Planning commissions. There they are. Why not use them? The groups are perfectly capable of coming up with some sound planning based on the best interests of both cities and the folks in the disputed area. Several times Senator Taft tried to pour cold water on the Maryland probe, claiming that the election scandals in Maryland were peanuts compared to what happened in Ohio. The election committee should take a look at Ohio, he said, if it wants to unearth real skulduggery. So Mrs. Smith quietly took Senator Taft, at his word. "Senator Taft is quite right," she sweetened told her Democratic colleague on the election subcommittee "we should investigate the Oligarchy." May Embarrass Taft Such a probe has now been voted, but Taft is simply fit to be tied. Angrily, he told Republcans can leaders that the investigators had not been cleared with him. Reason for Taft's fire is that any careful investigation of his recent re-election in Ohio was probably embarrass him more than the Democrats. It will show for instance, that he spent more money than the Democrats and will show a vicious and Catholic whispering campaign waged by some of Taft's followers. Though Taft personally had nothing to do with the campaign it was just as anti-American as the unfair fake literature used by the Republicans in Maryland to defeat Tydings. And bringing anti-Catholicism out in the open is not going to help Taft's presidential chances. Thanks however to the kick which Taft gave a lady, the Senator from Ohio is now going to be investigated by Mrs. Smith's new committee. Note — Another Senate prob which started with a flourish now gathering dust thanks Sen. Guy Gillette of Iowa. Gillette's investigators unearthed some strange evidence regarding Lt. Gov. Joe Hanley of New York indicating that he had no debt in Iowa, though he worked a dept with Governor Dewey last year for the avowed purpose of paying off his debts. For some strange reason Gillette has now blow cold on the New York election probe. Temptation to Soviet Most dangerous fact about the present international situation... Taken up for trespass and damages, a bright bay saddle mare, with blaze in her face, belonging to James Villas, Jr. The owner is requested to come forward, prove property, pay charges and damages, and for this advertisement, and take her away, or she will be sold under the trespass act. She may be seen when not in use, in corral in the rear of Dr. Yocum's residence. The jurors from this section for the term of the county court, May 15, are Alexander Bailey, Tim Carroll and John Edwards. The matter of drunken people prowling around the printing office in the dead of night, we have treated very lightly heretofore. Its frequent occurrence has become monotonous, and a repetition may be met with serious consequences to the prowler. 50 Years Ago Herman Gebert and Auguste Krause of this city have been licenced to wed. Camp Hi Bledso, UCV of this county, has decided to hold its annual picnic at the county park, in Santiago canyon, Friday, May 10. Union and Confederate veterans from adjoining counties will attend.

He is a son of the late John Fischer, a pioneer of Anaheim, who built the Planters Hotel—in its day the most pretentious building between Los Angeles and San Diego. When the building was destroyed by fire June 23, 1871, it was at once rebuilt by its owners. As their flag was run up the staff, on completion of the new building, Mr. Fischer stood in the street and was horrified to see the flag being raised upside down. He called to have it righted and observed to bystanders that it was an omen of ill luck. On July 4, 1890, the hotel was again destroyed by fire and it was never rebuilt. A row of brick structures now stands on the old site. Mr. Fischer and his family left Anaheim in 1878, going to Los Angeles where he was later City Assessor and then county assessor. Fred Fischer is chief mechanical engineer of the Los Angeles water company with which he has been conected for 38 years. Mrs. Anna De Frees has the distinction of being the first white girl born in Anaheim. She was named after the colony. She was born at her father's home immediately west of the Planters Hotel, which stood at the northwest corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. Temptation to Soviet Most dangerous fact about the present international situation is that four important countries now face elections. This probably a greater temptation to the Soviet to strike than all other political considerations combined. The countries facing major elections are: England, certain to stage an election in the fall; France, due for general elections this summer; Italy, which is already warming up for the great four-year political tug of war to see who will be the next president of the United States. Chief difficulty with elections is their reflect on international relations. The British labor government, for instance, cannot support our position regarding communist China without getting a deluge of criticism from a powerful and quite vocal section of voters. The French government cannot spend too much on its budget for European rearmament without risking defeat at the polls. Meanwhile in the United States the MacArthur debate has already bocem a political row, closely linked with the 1952 presidential race. Most important of all, pending elections make it difficult for the democracies to act in a hurry in case Moscow should move on some strange evidence regarding Lt. Gov.

WASHINGTON — They say woman members of Congress smart, that they don't care up in rough-and tumble, don't know the tricks of stage wire-pulling. However, it took a lady to out-rage the most powerful Republiean in the Senate—Bob Taft of last fall, Sen. Margaret Smith, Republican of Ohio, was bumped off the state investigating committee. Man who initiated her exit Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin who wanted revenge for Smith's "declaration of science" in which she urged her hearing for those reckless and falsely smeared by earthy. However, Mrs. Smith would not been dropped from the initiating committee had it not for Senator Taft's covertrt for McCarthy. It was rather than McCarthy, who gave the ax to the lady or from aMine. Smith had little to say time. She smiled sweetly, her time, and worked at an committee job investigating Maryland elections. Several times Senator Taft to pour cold water on this and probe, claiming that election scandals in Maryland peanuts compared to what needed in Ohio. The elections committee should take a good Ohio, he said, if it wanted earth real skulduggery. Mrs. Smith quietly took SenYOUNG SOLDIERS DONT FADE AWAY SENATE HEARINGS ON U.S. FAR EAST POLICY HORRIS Hal Boyle NEW YORK (P)—Who said the old-fashioned American grandma had joined the vanishing dodo? Who said they ought to find a real oldtime grandma and grandpa and put them in a museum for the nostalgic joy of future generations. Was it I who said the old folks had forsaken the old ways and spent their time now learning the samba and keeping night club operators up past their bedtime? Okay, guilty. I said it. I'm wrong. I retract. It just turns out all I know are grandparents who pursue elderly glamor. Must be I just been circulating in the wrong circles. Got to mend my ways. Scarce as cigar store Indians? Heck. Why, the way the mail has been pouring in the country must be brimful of old-fashioned granies and grandpas. And the tenor of their letters is this: "What difference does it make whether we are old-fashioned or new-fashioned? Anyone who has lived as long as we have, and done as much, has got a right to run the last lap any way he wants to." Granted, granny! A foxy grandpa scribbled on a postcard: "Young man, you missed the whole picture. Grandma and I don't have to sit in a chimney corner, and we don't go to night clubs. But we make more money babysitting than we'd get if we took a government pension. Why? Because it's the young folks that gallivant today and let other people take care of their children." Did I really say grandmas don't make quilts anymore? Well, ever, extends on south, even low the city of San Diego almost to the Mexican border. The west boundary, for example follows the coast down three Oceanside, Carlsbad and Del Mar to La Jolla. Then it ducks into avoiding La Jolla and skirting city of San Diego, then suddenly reaches an arm back toward coast and snatches National Park but does not embrace Chula Mesa Inland cities of San Diego county in the new district include Escondido, Vista and Fallbrook. Orange county will take a 225,000 population into the district with San Diego contributing some 150,000,187 estimated. This appears to Orange county even more popular dominance than it now holds in the 22nd district, where it numbers Riverside and Imperial counties combined. This situation is eminently risky to Orange county political leaders—and candidates, new congressional district, fact, seems to have generate complete reshuffle of Orange county representatives in state well as national capitals. Assemblyman Earl Stanley Newport Beach, representing 74th assembly district, worked hard for creation of the new congressional district, and has concealed plans to be its first congressman. As a coast man, expects strong support along an enlongated coast line of the district. No one else has shown a hand as a prospective candidate, of course it is still early, as elections next year will settle Friends of Ross Shafer, Turbine engineer, rancher and water leaser, say they would like to him wear the toga, but he did not himself indicated any intention to run.

But we make more money babysitting than we'd get if we took a government pension. Why? Because M's the young folks that gallivant today and let other people take care of their children." Did I really say grandmas don't make quilts anymore? Well, listen to grandmother Perry of Linden, Mich.,—and I wish you could see her fine old-fashioned handwriting: "I am a great-grandmother 73 years old. I wash and iron for seven of us and make four beds each day. Also made four quilts all by hand this winer, and I've made 25 quilts since I was 50." Grandmother Perry says she doesn't go out much but she does like to have her gray hair fixed and wear red nail polish, and adds firmly: "Now if these other grandmothers have a good time I glory in their spunk." And was it I who said they'd rather look like Marlene Dietrich than Whistler's Mother? "Even though I don't look quite like Whistler's Mother there's a little bit of me there," writes grandmother Bea White of Lewiston, Idaho. "And I know that I'm as much loved by my own. Anyway, what grandchild wants grandma to look like Whistler's mother in of the many potential war fronts. All of which is one reason why the year 1951 is such a crucial one when it comes to the question of peace or war." this jet age? I still make quilts and sew and mend and wash for my own family. Besides this, old grandma works in grandpa's office from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and then I go home and prepare dinner." Grandma White hasn't gone in for peroxide. She is a proud red-dish-blond — "The natural hair God gave me." Grandmother Margaret Ingraham of Beverly, Mass., took time out from spring cleaning to say she enjoyed being old-fashioned and didn't drink or smoke. She has just finished a quilt. "Although I have no white hairs—or just a few," she wrote. "I wear my hair in straight bangs. I don't resemble Whistler's Mother, and 'Gramps' thinks I still look good to him." Grandmother Ingraham had four sons in the last war, and one is now back in the Navy. "I feel pretty young for my years," she says, "but although God let me have my boys back last time, I would be a sad sack if I had to go through it again. I pray for peace. But sometimes I think the only peace we have is a little in our hearts, and now and then moments of happiness as we go along." All right, grandma old and new, I've had my spanking. Now can I say to you what a friendly stranger once said to me? "Just keep on living!" Nobody ever wanted you in a museum. You're too much fun here. No one else has shown a hat as a prospective candidate, of course it is still early, as elections next year will settle Friends of Ross Shafer, Turku engineer, rancher and water leaver, say they would like to him wear the toga, but he not himself indicated any intention to run. With State Senator Clyde Wren son of Orange reported ready retire at the end of his presidency, Speaker of the Assembly Sam L. Collins of Fullerton, resenting the 75th assembly trict, is known to be a candidate for the Senate seat. Who may want it remains to be seen. Considering the opposition to Clyns in such quarters as Orlando city, which always has swung lot of weight in Republican circles, the speaker could well have a hot race on his hand. In any event both assembling seats will be left wide open. When the west side of the river mills produce as candidates for Colli seat is still to be seen. Now the vacancy seems assured, will replacements will doubtless pear soon. East of the river, in the 75th district, the assembly picture only a little more clear. O Sellim Franklin of Costa Mesa, torney and president of the chamber of commerce, will go if signs are right, assuming a course that Stanley tries for Congress. Former Assemblyman James B. Utt of Santa Ana is only other prospect that has been mentioned, and he hasn't said... -Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor AND NOW, IN 1951, we look back on the year and see a great deal of hard work, at which we shudder, and a wee bit of accomplishment. The things which we think are on the credit side of the ledger for the citrus grower are merely those snorts which emanate from some of the Exchange "hired hands" as, for instance, Mr. Prizer's pontificial declaration which implied his own and the Exchange's infallibility. We had the opportunity the other day of hearing a man talk who has been in the field of selling and distribution of farm crops for many years. He has always been on the side of the grower. He made one observation which stuck in our craw. We have observed the same thing time and again and hope we can get the idea over to you. He said that there were many things peculiar to co-ops (and how well we in California understand that), but that one thing above all, in his observation, stood out in bold relief. He said this always seemed to happen: that a co-operative group of producers would hire a likely man and put him on the payroll and the next thing you knew the hired hand would be telling his employers what was what and showing great contempt for them and their thinking. IF YOU LOOK back you will see the truth of this statement. It is not 100 per cent true but it has happened in our own observation many, many times. Now don't go overboard and read things into this column that are not there. We are not now and never have been anti-Exchange. We merely think, and have said so openly, that the top "hired help" have and are doing a poor job, with what they have to work with, for the grower who employs them. When you think and explore the things this large corporation could do for the citrus industry of California and put that up against what it HAS done you just get the shock of your life. For years we went along, taking our place in the admiration society of the wonderful Exchange which could nor would do any wrong, and then we woke up. The feet were clay and what was a thousand times worse the thing had no soul and had not taken its responsibility, as a good citizen, to the citrus industry. It was only concerned with the internal security of its intrenched bureaucrats. Make no mistake about that. The Act under which the Exchange is organized gives them virtually all the power by which Florida Mutual has completely stabilized the great Florida citrus industry. extends on south, even bethe city of San Diego and rest to the Mexican border. west boundary, for example wins the coast down through inside, Carlsbad and Del Mar a Jolla.

Orange county will take about 1000 population into the new district with San Diego county ributing some 150,000. It is annated. This appears to give Orange county even more politidominance than it now holds the 22nd district, where it outports Riverside and Imperial cities combined. This situation is eminently sattory to Orange county politicaders—and candidates. The congressional district, in seems to have generated a delete reshuffle of Orange city representatives in state as as national capitals. Assemblyman Earl Stanley of Port Beach, representing the assembly district, worked for creation of the new condominal district, and has unnailed plans to be its first lessman. As a coast man, he has strong support along the gregated coast line of the new set. One else has shown a hand prospective candidate, but curse it is still early, as the tons next year will settle it. Ids of Ross Shafer, Tustin Beer, rancher and water-leaday they would like to see wear the toga, but he has himself indicated any intento run. When you think and explore the things this large corporation could do for the citrus industry of California and put that up against what it HAS done you just get the shock of your life. For years we went along, taking our place in the admiration society of the wonder-ful Exchange which could nor would do any wrong, and then we woke up. The feet were clay and what was a thousand times worse the thing had no soul and had not taken its responsibility, as a good citizen, to the citrus industry. It was only concerned with the internal security of its intrenched bureaucrats. Make no mistake about that. The Act under which the Exchange is organized gives them virtually all the power by which Florida Mutual has completely stabilized the great Florida citrus industry which is much larger than ours and in which there are some 400 handlers instead of four or five as in California. THAT ALONE proves to us that the men who run the Exchange should get a "d" and go to the foot of the class. And we mean the Kremlin Krowd in the Big City. They even have the fortitude to mention "free enterprise system which we cherish" in connection with the California citrus business which has government control without any price guaranty. To our knowledge the California citrus producer is the only American farmer having government control without a price guaranty. The Exchange could cease being an "ex" and change all that for the better for every grower in California whether in or out of its sanctified precincts. But it would have to be a lot less selfish. But it won't. And why, you ask? We don't know—but—do co-ops like to show their books? Ever hear of some of the embarrassing questions the former head of the deal was asked on the witness stand? No? Read it sometime. Sargum Sprout Sez THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS FINDING OUT That part of the American public that is seeing the world on a television screen is finding out that for the past 100 years the motion picture industry has done little but picture the rooting,ooting,gun slinging Western people. It's no wonder we do not see the horses on the plains and hills any more, the wild picture cowboys ran them all to death. The picture cowboy whether he goes a 100 yards or a 100 miles must go at top speed. The television is a wonderful thing. It brings the world to your parlor both entertainment and commercial. Some times the commercial grows a little stale with its erude methods but not half so stale as one after another rip-roaring Westerns that seldom depicts the real Old West. We poor humans have a heck of a time finding ammunition to shoot a duck,hunt a quail or knock down a buck but these riproading cowboys shoot hundreds of rounds into the thin air. Maybe you like Westerns. Maybe you never saw the real Old West. Taming the West was the most romantic era in all history. We, who saw a little of it have fond memories but we do not get too excited over the way the motion picture actor portrays our dream time. Yes, the American public is finding out that there was a great and romantic era just in the past. —SARGUM SPROUT Maybe you like Westerns. Maybe you never saw the real Old West.
