MELLEN Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager Why not sound off...? During the past couple of days we have caught up on some of our mall. On Monday we published in this column the thoughts of a reader who said we should save water. Yesterday, we published the letter (and an editorial) on how to get a job. Today we have a letter from a prominent Anaheimer who commends us for a piece in this column of a few days ago in which we said that Anaheim would become a "ghost town" only if the folks of the community thoughtlessly began to believe the bad advertising we, ourselves, are giving Anaheim when we despair of its future. This man said he had counted four or five Anaheimers of his acquaintance window shopping, and purchasing, in Santa Arm. When he asked some of them FIDENCE. Don't sell the city short— Don't start rumors that Anaheim is a back number, washed up— Don't cause people to look elsewhere because you thoughtlessly shook your head and downgraded Anaheim— (Believe it or not, these things are happening—do have an effect on our prosperity.) Brag about Anaheim—encourage people to come here. Texas bragged, with tremendous success. The more "talking up" YOU do the more prosperity comes to town. Advertising—YOUR advertising—pays! Ghost cities sometimes occur because the folks lose faith; you are plain nuts if you do that with Anaheim. Hal Boyle NEW YORK (AP)—Arlington putting the war news a bit understand?

Perhaps a verbal list putting their key phrases dinary English might be Well, one has been drawn all in fun—by an air fliccer in Korea. It was to me by Gordon Gammie Moines Tribune column. "With war once again naming newspapers, ractics, and the cigarette anonymous air force offers in preface," "It is timely to a short guide to militaryology so the American may better understand the conditions of the subject." He then listed, as phrases "likely to be emptied this war and the ones to these clichés . . . and the lations: " . . . planned without strengthen positions . . . (we're running.) " fleeing in confusion (they're running.) " . . in this hour of would be folly to change . . . (election year, Den) " . . in this hour of must remove the bungles ept . . . (election y publican.) which we said that Anaheim would become a "ghost town" only if the folks of the community thoughtlessly began to believe the bad advertising we, ourselves, are giving Anaheim when we despair of its future. This man said he had counted four or five Anaheimers of his acquaintance window shopping, and purchasing, in Santa Arm. When he asked some of them what they were buying he found their purchases were nothing unusual—could have bought exactly the same thing in Anaheim. Why were they there? No good reason. Just got started going to Santa Ana—and kept on. How are we going to make these good folks see the light? Answer: pride in the old home town, talk it up, put in a good word for Anaheim and her merchants each and every time you have a chance—and sometimes when you don't have the chance. Talk it up. In fact, brag. Don't down grade the old home town. She's got more kick in her than any other city in Southern California. Feel a little pride, get people to do business here. Suggest to one and all that they start a strong movement to buy in Anaheim. Once it gets rolling we will be able to support the best shopping center in the county. So, talk, talk, talk. Get people to try the Anaheim merchants. Besides, why get yourself killed on one of the highways leading to the big city??? The other day we discussed this same subject. At the tag end of that editorial were some summarizing paragraphs. Our friend writing to us on this subject said we ought to print them once more. So, here is how we concluded that other editorial: Above all WE NEED CON- IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL Brag about Anaheim—encourage people to come here. Texas bragged, with tremendous success. The more "talking up" YOU do the more prosperity comes to town. Advertising—YOUR advertising—pays! Ghost cities sometimes occur because the folks lose faith; you are plain nuts if you do that with Anaheim. Just consider this; Every dollar you spend outside Anaheim diminishes Anaheim. Every dollar that stays at home builds Anaheim. Better bargains and better selections of merchandise are possible in local stores only if local stores get a large volume of trade. Every dollar that goes to another city increases that city's competitive advantage over Anaheim. Home spent dollars have bounce—one dollar spent at home may go into 10 cash registers and make a part of 10 local payrolls. You have a chance to get some of your dollar back. The dollar spent out of town is out of reach. The locally spent dollar increases property values and keeps a lid on your taxes. It goes into many, many civic enterprises. Santa Ana, Pasadena, Long Beach merchants do not contribute to these. Anaheim merchants do. Better schools, better parks, better streets, better homes, better community functions—these are part and parcel of home spent dollars. And, don't forget: shoppers save money by shopping Anaheim first. In dozens of specific instances it can be shown how shoppers have risked their necks on the highways to buy goods they could have bought at home for equal or less money. adjoining property.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Mr. Parker of Orange, related to us yesterday an accident which happened at his place some days ago.

Crazy or drunk was the conundrum presented to the Justice by a sheep herder brought up before him yesterday morning, and our worthy Justice not being good at guessing, ordered the gentleman to be locked up until his malady should be plainly manifested. From Cincinnati comes the news that on the seventh ballot Gov. Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio was nominated for President by the Republican convention. William A. Wheeler was then nominated for vice-president. Until the seventh ballot James G. Blaine led 292 to 68. President Grant, Roscoe Conkling, Secretary Bristow, J. G.

The treasurer reported an indebtedness of $950. To meet this an assessment of six per cent was levied. A committee was appointed to begin the necessary proceedings to dissolve the incorporation and to dispose of the corporate property. The Barkentine Ella sailed from Anaheim Landing yesterday for Port Townsend where she will load with lumber for San Francisco. Several sheep camps near the Santa Ana river have been robbed during the past few days. At one camp the herder was robbed of a check for $300. 50 Years Ago John Everhardy was in town on Saturday looking after his oil business.

Hal Boyle NEW YORK — Are you finding the war news a bit hard to understand? Maybe it's the military gobbledegook — standard on both sides—that has you confused. Generals as well as doctors sometimes have a hard time explaining their operations in the language of the common man. Perhaps a verbal Baedecker putting their key phrases into ordinary English might help you. Well, one has been drawn up—all in fun—by an air force officer in Korea. It was relayed to me by Gordon Gammack, Des Moines Tribune columnist. "With war once again dominating newspapers, radio, politics, and the cigarette ads," the anonymous air force officer said in preface, "It is timely to publish a short guide to military phraseology so the American people may better understand the true conditions of the subject." He then listed, as the key phrases "likely to be employed in this war and the ones to follow," these clichés ... and their translations: "... planned withdrawal to strengthen positions ..." (we're running.) "fleeing in confusion ..." (they're running.) "... in this hour of crisis it would be folly to change horses ..." (election year, Democrat.)

WASHINGTON — The first president of a Latin-American country ever born in the United States arrives in Washington today. He is Galo Plaza Lasso, president of Ecuador, who has played football at the University of California, sold apples in New York during the depression, and has built up a herd of 1000 Holstein dairy cows one mile up on the plateau of Ecuador. More important than any of these, however, Galo Plaza is operating one of the few free and democratic countries in the Western Hemisphere. On a continent where democracy is squeezed between communism and fascism, and where democracy is considered a luxury safe only for countries which can afford deep-freezes, he has shown that democracy can work. In only five other Latin-American countries today—Uruguay, Chile, Mexico, Cuba and Costa Rica—is there complete freedom of the press. In Peru, for instance, a newspaperman was jailed recently because he translated a Life magazine article on Evita Peron. The article was not even published, merely translated ready for publication. Nevertheless, he was clapped into jail. Even in supposedly democratic India, Prime Minister Nehru has proposed legislation restricting the press. However, President Galo Plaza has laughed at the gloves of the Ecuadorian press, calls revolution "our national sport," has never imposed marital law, drives his own car to his farms, and talks in their own language to the Indians who come to see him. Cows by Airplane measures—public education, limiting the hours of the people's work, divorce, civil marriage, and expropriation of large landed estates. Galo Plaza's slogan since elected has been "more work and less politics." "There are no quick solutions to Ecuador's problems," he says. "In a generation a miracle may be accomplished. But during my four years all I can do is to set the country on the right road." Accordingly, he has concentrated not on social reforms but on economic progress. His old friend, Nelson Rockefeller, helped with this, sending American experts to study what products Ecuador can best produce. As a result, the country is already on the way to becoming one of the great rice-growing areas of the world, and is slowly pulling away from its unenviable status as the poorest and most disease-ridden country in South America. Most important of all, however, Galo Plaza has remained one of the few Latin-American presidents to serve out his full four years without resorting to armed strength, without suppressing civil liberties. Following three abortive revolutions in 14 months, Plaza was urged to crack down on his enemies. However, the press still remains free to ridicule him, communist speakers remain free to malign him in the public square, and he continues to maintain that democracy can work in a country without shoes.

Cows by Airplane I confess to being a little partial toward Galo Blaza. I got to know him when he was ambassador to Washington, the introduction having come through the Madame Holstein and the fact that some of my cows are related to his. Incidentally, the president of Ecuador studied at the University of Maryland in order to specialize in dairying, and since that time he has imported his herd sires and some of his heifers from Homer Remsberg at Middletown, Md., sometimes flying them to Ecuador by plane. The fact that Galo Plaza was born in an almost unknown hotel—the Hotel Martin—in New York's Greenwich Village was due to the circumstance that his father, himself a president of Ecuador, was then in exile. His father was a buccaneering general who made his way by the sword, but who married a daughter of a top Ecuadorian aristocrat. She has spent much of her life in the United States and is still living. As a youngster, Galo Plaza was literally brought up in politics. His father served two terms as president of Ecuador, once before Galo was born, once afterward. Galo saw him put across what were then almost revolutionary remains free to ridicule him, communist speakers remain free to malign him in the public square, and he continues to maintain that democracy can work in a country without shoes.

MAYPOLE MAID—Actress Maria Palmer models a maypole hat at a Hollywood charity dinner dance. Pink and black ribbons stream from maypole top over sides of brim. ALFONS TRADING POLITICAL EDITOR FRANKfurt Neue ANY GROWER who asked a shipper, packer, processor or buyer of oranges what the price outlook for the crop seems to be is asking for a neck to be stuck out. Why should your packing house manager stick out his neck to tell you what he thinks? Why should Mr. Wilcox get involved in that sort of thing? What about Mr. Prizer? What would he know? We mentioned the Nesbit outfit the other day and one of our friends told us that they were a good concern. Now maybe they are—but not to the California grower. Anyone even OFFERING less than the Florida floor price for our wonderful California valencia, of this year, is close to being a MENACE to all valencia growers. We were told that Nesbit had a 5 cent drink. Growers have not a bit of interest in what port of a drink Nesbit has. If Nesbit is willing to pay the grower enough money for his fruit to cover cost of production, plus a profit, then well and good. If not then no grower should allow ANY of his fruit to go to that outfit or any other outfit so inclined. That is our candid opinion. It is up to the grower to get the idea that canning and other processing is NOT a salvage operation. If any product made out of valencia oranges will NOT pay the grower cost of production, plus a profit, then we had better dump the fruit, let it rot on the trees, OR, get us some salesmen. THE SMALL AMOUNT of orange juice that goes into a drink of Nesbit's orangeade will make very little difference whether that fruit brought the grower $55 a ton or $35 a ton. We think that the Exchange represents such a large segment of the industry that it is their bounden duty to see that NO California valencias sell below cost of production, plus a profit, at the grower level, if you please. A simple phone call to Nesbit's from one of the "big shots" in the Kremlin with the authority back of it which COULD be there would straighten that price situation out in one minute. Don't kid yourself about that one either. Paul Armstrong came out with this about a year ago: "Until recently the canning and other processing operations in the California citrus industry have been essentially a salvage operation in which the endeavor was made to recover as much as possible for the fruit which, for one reason or another, was not shipped to the fresh fruit market. The development of these new and better juice products and the better prices received for the fruit used in them recently, now places the processing operations in a much more responsible position as one of the alternative means of marketing the crop and contributing its Mail Bag (Ed. Note—Through an unintentional oversight, the editorial written by Alfons Trabert, political editor of Germany's Neue Presse, exclusively for yesterday's Gazette was omitted. It Follows in its entirety.) To the editor: Everybody has certain ideas about foreign countries. Americans have certain opinions about European countries and Europeans have definite ideas about America. When I, for instance, came to the Stafes, I found out in a very short time that my picture of this country was almost completely wrong. And I am quite sure the Americans who visit European countries will find out the very same thing. It is not true that Americans are only dollar conscious, and it is not true that Frenchmen are of a promiscuous nature, and that Germans are born militarists who love war. Germans of the present are working hard in order to pull themselves out of the ruins of the last war. More than 90 per cent of the German people have the feeling of wanting to be a part of the free, democratic, Western world. People in the Russian occupied zone of Germany and Berlin, feel even more strongly this way than any other people in the western world. This fact was brought to the public eye by General Howley, commander of all American troops in Berlin for three years, in a recent appearance at Stevens college in Columbia, Mo. There can be no doubt of the co-operative attitude of the German people and the government—who receive help by the Marshall Plan and ERP funds—toward the western allied nations. I would like to remark that 300.- There can be no doubt of the co-operative attitude of the German people and the government—who receive help by the Marshall Plan and ERP funds—toward the western allied nations. I would like to remark that 300,000 former German soldiers are still starving in Russian concentration camps and 17 millions of German people are suffering under the Russian terror regime in the Eastern zone. Americans very often think that European nations are nationalistic and, indeed, that is true to a great extent. Therefore, the debates in the European parliament in Strassburg are very complicated. Members of the parliament are inclined to say, after endless discussions, that obviously, the best Europeans are the Americans because the Americans are most strongly in favor of a politically, economically and militarily united Europe. We are glad that the young Europeans do not want to hear any more nationalistic speeches and propaganda. Therefore I consider any kind of exchange between Western Europeans and Americans of a value which cannot be under-estimated. There may be a time, in the very near future, when the threat of the East may be so dangerous that only the combined strength of the West will be able to keep the democratic ideal alive.
