Job time again... We note by the young fellows coming through the Gazette door asking about the "possibility of a job" that once more graduation time is approaching. The young men and women are beginning to think about "what next?" This year, however, it seems the growing shortage of trained men is coming to the aid of the graduate even if the draft board is breathing down his neck. Big corporations are hiring the men they need in the June crop even when they're 1-A in the draft, the Northwestern National Life Insurance Co., reports in a survey of college placement officials. Smaller firms often seek veterans rather than the younger collegians, but the big firms are choosing a desirable man, even commission of the Engineers Joint council says that engineering schools would have to train 30,000 more students a year just to maintain peacetime requirements of industry. The manpower demand isn't confined to engineers, however. Employment has been going up throughout industry, and unemployment down as defense production slowly picks up speed. Male non-farm employment was 30,400,000 this March, up five per cent from a year ago. The Department of Commerce reports. Women did even better landing jobs. In March there were 17,200,000 of them working off the farms, a gain of eight per cent over a year ago.

Small firms often seek veterans rather than the younger collegians, but the big firms are choosing a desirable man, even if for only a few months' work before military service, and offering to have his job waiting on his return. Most of the schools report this year's graduating classes 10 to 25 per cent smaller than last year, while employment calls are reported 25 to 300 per cent more numerous at the various colleges. Starting salaries average $25 to $50 a month higher, the insurance company reports. The biggest demand is for engineers. In this the Federal Bureau of Employment Security conturs, saying that the defense program is calling for more and more mechanical and electrical engineers and other professional technical and skilled workers. Bureau Director Robert C. Goodwin says that at least 30,000 engineering graduates are needed annually—which is something high school graduates about to enter college might consider. The Engineering Manpower IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago At a meeting of citizens in Los Angeles it was resolved to celebrate the Fourth of July in that city by a procession, literary exercises and barbecue. The people of the entire county are invited to participate. A troupe of Mexican acrobats arrived in town yesterday and intend exhibiting some time during the latter part of the week. 50 Years Ago M. F. Reagan has made a substantial addition to the Alamitos hotel. Mike is getting ready for a rush business this season. Senor Estanillos Romero of Ensenada and Miss Helena Heffner of this city were on Monday in Los Angeles, granted a license to wed. Fred Tuffree was in town on Saturday from the Rancho Buena Finally, I got Leon Lowry the telephone. He had ordered extra part for the pump ago, but Jake Snyder of F.A.Supply had forgotten to order. So the pump couldn't get that night. Rita couldn't bath, the dishes, couldn't washed, I couldn't shave morning, and my cows would a lower score than Carrollgan's. "Look at New York City all the trouble they had water. We're not the only who have problems. Or talk Angeles. Mayor Bowron out is always making my day quit watering her lawn." Furthermore," say I, "I like to quote an issue of a column, the Washington A troupe of Mexican acrobats arrived in town yesterday and intend exhibiting some time during the latter part of the week. Mr. Geroon, one of the proprietors of the Lafayette hotel in Los Angeles, was in town last evening. A most elegant piece of workmanship can be seen at the jewelery store of Mr. R. Luedke, on Centre street. It is a clock, made by Mr. Luedke in 1852, for which he was offered at that time a fifty vara lot in San Francisco, now worth one hundred thousand dollars. The clock is valued at five hundred dollars. A grand ball will be given at the Tivoli Gardens on Sunday. Mr. Conrad knows how to get up a good time, and we are sure that all who attend will be pleased with their trip. The stages will start from the center of town every half hour during the day. A movement is on foot to organize a lodge of Royal Arch Masons in Anaheim. A preliminary meeting will be held on Saturday at the Masonic Hall. Mr. Lee was disturbed in his slumbers two nights ago by an uncomfortable bed fellow in the shape of a snake five feet long. The snake probably thought that Mr. Lee was feeling lonesome and was doing his best to be sociable. Senor Estanillos Romero of Eisenada and Miss Helena Heffner of this city were on Monday, in Los Angeles, granted a license to wed. Fred Tuffree was in town on Saturday from the Rancho Buena Vista. Fred contemplates a trip to San Juan, where he is interested in mines that hold out rich prospects. Miss Estelle Marion, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Marion of West Anaheim, was married on Wednesday, May 1, to James Johnson of Los Angeles. The newlywed pair will reside in that city. Fritz Martin has taken charge of the meat market, recently presided over by Veit Bentz. Fritz is an experienced butcher and will no doubt make a success of the business. Mrs. Hauptman and two sons have arrived from Chicago and are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hansen at their Orangthrope archee home. They will probably remain permanently in Southern California. 25 Years Ago Rev. Thomas Walker, pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city, was the speaker of the afternoon at the Ebell club meeting on Tuesday. After a short program the election of officers took place resulting in the naming of the following ladies to serve for the ensuing year. For president, Mrs. H. D. Newkirk; vice-president, Mr. H. Benjamin; second vice-president, Mrs. William Falken; financial secretary, Mrs. J. P.; son; recording secretary, Mrs. Dunham; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Vincent Bruce; librarian, W. Kilpatrick; curator, Mrs. Harbison; parliamentarian, Mr. H. Goodale; historian, Mrs. Grim; trustees for three months; Mesdames E. E. Smith; A. C. Pearson and Miss Frey Backs. Fred C. Rimpau on Tuesday ceived a cable message from sister Miss Sophie Rimpau, departed recently for a month's tour of Europe, and panied by Mr. and Mrs. W. Alexandre Jr. The cable was Dover, and said: "General it in England, Leaving for Paris night." The party left New April 21, and arrived in Lo April 28.

While the most glamorous man in the USA was in Washington testifying before the Senate, the most glamorous gal in the USA was also near Washington, though she kept a long way from the Senate. Though newspaper headlines played up reports that Rita Hayworth was in Reno preparing to shed her title of princess, actually she was spending a few days on the Pearson farm in Maryland where she seemed more interested in 42 queens of the dairy have, a couple of horses, and our prize Hokiekins balls, "Harry S. Truman" and Prediction No. 1" than in the near-by MadArthur show in the Senate. After trying to cover the latter show, I got out to the farm late one afternoon to find a much more difficult problem staring me stark in the face. No Bath for Eliza I could see the minute I got out of my car and greeted Mrs. P., that all was not well. Mrs. P. had that steely glint in her eye which I had not seen for a long, long time—in fact, not since she hogs got loose and made mincement out of her deck tennis court. "The water," said Mrs. P., "is off. Just how is Rita going to take a bath?" "Have you called Leon Lowry?" I asked, referring to our neighbor who can fix anything from my grandson's nursing bot- Home-Makers' Forum By JOAN S. WHITE (Gazette Home Economics) In the field of progress, we home-makers have not been standing still. No indeed. And now that we have given up the washboard in favor of the automatic washer, and favor the push button stove over the old coal range, we sometimes have a nice amount of leisure time on our hands. The way in which we spend that leisure time often determines how happy and well adjusted we are. There are some who say that a good way to get fun out of life is to ride a hobby. If the exhibits shown during Home Demonstration Day in Anaheim last week is any indication, there are many happy women in this area.

He was weary of present troubles, and wanted to spend the day among his memories, telling them to a listener. And he did. And his white-topped face looked like a mask of luminous old bronze as he talked. When he finally took up the problem of communism, his face wrinkled in ancient hate. "Anyone who compromises with communism is lost," he said. "But too many do not yet know this." He spoke hopefully on the pos- makers' samples of corsing, rug hooking, shell tailoring, cake decorating, ceramics, cooking, lamination, etc. Mrs. Charles Brazeton belim collects butter patties are miniature dishes which are about three inches in size.

Rimpau on Tuesday received a cable message from his older Miss Sophie Rimpau, who started recently for a six-month's tour of Europe, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Kandre Jr. The cable was from her, and said: "General strike England, Leaving for Paris to visit." The party left New York in 21, and arrived in London in 28. Only a week's stay was made in the metropolis when the general strike cause on, and they in the channel boat for Calais, had been their intention to end several weeks touring the Irish Isles. He'll be next week. His mind is as agile as ever, he has a still-growing army in the field, and he again is hopefully pursuing his lifelong goal—a free, united Korea. But the last time I saw President Rhee his spirit was all but shattered. He had reached the low point of a long lifetime. He saw his dream dying—and he half-wanted to die with it. It was last December. The communists were massing to retake Seoul, and residents were fleeing the city by the scores of thousands every day. Rhee didn't want to flee. He wanted to stay in his capital—and die at the hands of the enemy. "That would be the best way to go," he said, tiredly. And then, with an old man's love of the past, he spoke of his youth, of his seven years imprisonment for revolutionary activities. "It was during those years in prison that I read the Bible and became a Christian," he mused. He talked on about the long history of his country and his years of exile abroad trying to regain its independence. There was some bitterness in his voice: "Korea was just a little country faraway," he said, "and the diplomats didn't think it very important. I tried to warn the people in Washington of the danger of Japanese imperialism, but they had other things on their mind. And who was I that they should listen? Just another exile." Outside the window the day began to darken. But the old man went on with his reminiscences. Several times his secretary came in to hint that it was getting late. She had been sent in by Mrs. He spoke hopefully on the possibility that the United Nations forces would defend and save Seoul. But he knew in his heart that it was impossible at that time. "I do not want to leave," he said suddenly. "Even if all others go, I want to stay here with my wife. Then when the communists come, we will go to that door together. I will have a gun in my hand. And I will tell their leaders, if you come another step forward, I will shoot you." "And when they do advance I shall fire at them. That will force them to fire back, and my wife and I will die together here where we belong. It will be better that way." The old man's eyes lit with a weary self-satisfaction. To him dying that way seemed, at that moment, easier than going on fighting for the cause he had given his years to. Then a weary look came into his face. "But my advisors say it would be wrong for me to do this," he said. "They insist I must go back to Pusan with the government and wait for better times." That is what Rhee did. Now the United Nations troops have regained Seoul and pushed on north of the 38th Parallel. And the old president is still alive and leading his countrymen. During their very first these volunteers turned out gallons of coffee and severed sandwiches (very tasty)—efficiency and dispatch. But no wonder.

(Continued on Page 7) OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD by WALDO HUNTER PERHAPS YOU noticed on the first page of section 2 of Monday's hefty anniversary edition a replica of the first page of Volume 1, Number 1, of the Anaheim Gazette, dated October 20, 1870. It was interesting to note the featured articles on that front page out of the misty past. If that front page could be regarded as a reflection of what was going on at the time, things here must have been pretty tranquil. The editor bemused his readers with such leading articles as these: "A NIGHT IN A LIGHTSHIP" ... MANUFACTURE OF CASTOR OIL" ... "A GOOD POKER HAND" ... "SWAM AWAY FROM HUSBAND" ... "THE CATHEDRAL IN METZ." Also given prominent position was a poem entitled "Reminiscence" which opened with the lines: "When alone in the grey of evening, I am thinking the dead past o'er..." but we had best not go any further with this. In vivid contrast to that musty old front page of Anaheim's first and leading journal, look at some of the headlines on yesterday's front page: "ANOTHER COUNTY CAR CRASH DEATH" ... "LOU RIDA MARTIN SUFFERS RAZOR CUTS IN ASSAULT" ... "GOAL OF UN FORCES IS TO CRACK RED'S WILL TO FIGHT—MARSHALL!"... Sometimes I wish there were nothing more spectacular to read about than such fascinating things as dissertations on the manufacture of castor oil. THERE WAS ANOTHER little item buried at the bottom of one of the columns on that front page of 1870 which I would like to see plastered in letters three inches tall on all of today's papers. It said: "The law reducing Internal Revenue taxes went into active operation October 1." SPEAKING OF NEWSPAPER headlines, you would be surprised THERE WAS ANOTHER little item buried at the bottom of one of the columns on that front page of 1870 which I would like to see plastered in letters three inches tall on all of today's papers. It said: "The law reducing Internal Revenue taxes went into active operation October 1." SPEAKING OF NEWSPAPER headlines, you would be surprised at the effect they have on everyday speech, and how they serve to influence current thinking. The man hurrying to work in the morning usually gulps down his strong, black headlines along with his coffee, seldom reading the articles below them. As he muddles through his work, the headlines will come back to him: "MacArthur BLASTS TRUMAN" and at the end of the day, he will begin to think that we actually do have a blasted president. Had he taken the time to read the article, however, he would learn that MacArthur didn't blast Truman at all. But the headline writer must put a catchy label at the top of the item, for effect, and for street sales. The writer of headlines is limited not only in the number of words, but in the amount of letters. He must be a master at condensing into a few spaces the idea he wishes to convey to the reader. Hence, "investigation" is boiled down to "probe," "legislator" becomes "solon," "policeman" is referred to as "cop" and so on. Anything to save space, for type metal absolutely cannot be condensed by squeezing. Sometimes the headline writers deliberately sway public opinion in the way they present stories. News of labor strikes are invariably headlined thusly: "STRIKE TIES UP TRANSPORTATION" or "COAL SHORTAGE LOOMS DUE TO STRIKE." Did you ever see it presented this war: "BUS DRIVERS NEED COST OF LIVING WAGE HIKE" or "NATION'S COAL MINERS ASK BETTER DEAL"? If you have, would you please send me a copy of the paper? THE PRIZE HEADLINE of all time, according to many old newsmen, was printed by a New York metropolitan paper in the early 30's when a group of WPA workers was momentarily covered by a cave-in of dirt while digging a ditch. (No casualties). The paper headed the story: SONS OF TOIL BURIED UNDER TONS OF SOIL But the men who slave at copy desks wrestling with headlines can also put across a compelling message by shrewd choice of words, and some can even be poetic. A routine story about the death of a child crossed the copy desk of a New York paper one humdrum summer day. It told how a 9-year-old girl in a sweltering slum district had tumbled from a fire escape the night before trying to find a cool place to sleep. The man who wrote the headline for this story might have been heaped up on black coffee, or gin, or perhaps he had the soul of a poet, for he did not write: "GIRL PLUNGES 10 STORIES TO DEATH" or "CHILD KILLED IN FALL." Over the story he penned, simply: "A LITTLE CHILD IN THE NIGHT." And speaking of leisure time activities, 25 Anaheim home-makers have just enrolled in the Red Cross canteen course. They meet for two and one-half hours each Friday morning to study emergency group feeding, an important part of the civilian defense plan. During their very first lesson, these volunteers turned out three gallons of coffee and several dozen sandwiches (very tasty)—all with efficiency and dispatch. But no wonder. The class is made up of such experienced workers as Alva Mae Jones who has helped with the serving of large groups with the American Legion Auxiliary and Mrs. Robert Barden, former nursery director of Los Angeles city schools. Mrs. Warren Ashleigh and Ms. A. Neighbors received their baptism of fire with a number of civic groups. Grace Dierberger and Lillian Kobernik served with the Youth Canteen during the last year. Mrs. M. E. Gray, Mrs. Elena Graves, and Mrs. Leland Hanson are home economics graduates. What the rest lack in experience, they make up for in enthusiasm. This is a group to watch!
