Nothing could be more obvious than that we must remain alert and militarily prepared even if truce negotiations are successful in Korea. Yet, it is equally obvious that it will be difficult to convince public opinion of this necessity. After World War I we quickly dismantled our war machine and raced back to peaceful pursuits. This action was understandable and excuseable at that time. But after World War II we did the same thing even though there was no justification for it. The lesson of World War I didn't help us after World War II. Will we make the same mistake a third time? It isn't likely, of course, that we will completely disband our forces or halt the preparedness program entirely. But peace in great pressure here (stimulated by communists and the well-meaning dupes who don't think for themselves) to sharply curtail defense construction and training. The end of the shooting in Korea would by no means bring an end to the dangers which confront America. Governor Dewey of New York aptly summed up the situation recently when he said that the communist bid for peace was a change of strategy but not a change of intent. Genuine peace is not likely as long as Soviet leaders follow their present policies. But there is a good chance of preventing armed conflict if we create and maintain the forces which will make aggression unprofitable. So—for once—let's not be tricked.

In one of his recent columns in the Gazette, Drew Pearson declared that President Truman had asked a prominent radio humorist to help arouse public opinion to support continued price controls. Pearson said this was indicative of the president's inability to mobilize public opinion even in a matter of vital importance to general welfare. Too many personal feuds, says the columnist, too much name calling and bitter letter writing have sapped Mr. Truman's prestige and influence with the people. Maybe future Presidents will heed the lesson of making too much noise over little things and having no voice left when the crisis comes. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A meeting of the trustees of the Anaheim School District will be held this afternoon in the printing office. Mrs. C. M. Stowe delivered her lecture on Spiritualism vs. Theology on Sunday evening to a large audience. She is a lady of ability and her lecture afforded food for reflection. An election will be held in Olive School District July 24 for the purpose of voting a tax of $1,600 to purchase a lot and build a school house. An election has also been ordered in Centralia school district on July 31 for the purpose of voting on the question of raising $800 to build a school house.

The officers elected are: N. D. Stafford, president; Messars. Lockhart and Collins, vice-presidents; Mr. Butler, secretary. They propose to meet at stated intervals at the various towns in that vicinity. Mr. Little has leased the city lot belonging to Mr. Hammer on Los Angeles street. He is erecting a blacksmith shop and is agent for the Goodenough horse shoe. We admire his enterprise and wish him good luck. 50 Years Ago Celebration of the nation's birthday—the greatest concourse of people and the most elaborate celebration of the nation's holiday in the history of the town, was the universal expression of opinion one heard on the Glorious Fourth. There were easily 8000 people within the city's gates. The sidewalks were packed with a moving mass of humanity. At 11 o'clock the civic, military and industrial parade began. The procession was headed by Grand Marshal Athearn and Herman Dickel and John Hartung aides. Following are a few of the features: Company E; N. G.

The event was a surprise shower and an announcement party, as Miss McAllister is soon to become the bride of Mr. Cortez Hoskins, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Hoskins of South Los Angeles st. After a short musical program contributed by Mrs. C. A. McCullah and Margaret Fay, the bride-to-be was presented with many beautiful gifts, the presentation being made by Harley and Nettie Lee Hoskins, children of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hoskins. The children were dressed as bride and groom. Prizes for broidery work on tow by Misses Violet Mott. Refreshments, and cake were set hostess at the close noon.

N. diplomats was because he hadn't received instructions from Moscow on what to do next. Moscow had okayed his peace feeler but hadn't told him what the next move should be. So Malik was "very sick." (He would have been sicker if he'd made the wrong move) ... Reason for President Truman's coolness toward the Malik proposal was a secret report he'd received that communist China is training 1,000,000 for a new Korean drive. The report told of conferences between Mao Tse-Tung and the Russians at Mukden at which Mao argued that his troops were too lightly equipped, demanded heavy equipment, more planes and better training. As a result it was agreed to send 2000 Russian planes to China ... The leak to Malik of the U. N. truce talks has now been traced to the Egyptian foreign office in Cairo. This was how Malik was able to scoop the U. S. A.'and the U. N. diplomats with his truce proposal. U. S. diplomats had been talking with U. N. diplomats for 10 days about a truce plea to be made June 25, and word of the talks leaked to the Russians through Cairo. Marshall's New Pup. Norwegian school children who want to thank the United States for Marshall Plan aid, have been saving up their pennies to buy a gift for the author of the Marshall Plan. After some debate, proposal. U. S. diplomats had been talking with U. N. diplomats for 10 days about a truce plea to be made June 25, and word of the talks leaked to the Russians through Cairo. Marshall's New Pup. Norwegian school children who want to thank the United States for Marshall Plan aid, have been saving up their pennies to buy a gift for the author of the Marshall Plan. After some debate, they finally decided to send him a Norwegian elkhound pup. At first they weren't quite sure whether the Secretary of Defense wanted a dog, but after the Norwegian Embassy conferred with him and after he conferred with Mrs. Marshall, the answer came back in the affirmative. So now 19-year-old Arnt Natland of Bergen will arrive in Washington today to make the presentation. Natland won an essay contest—part of the money-raising plan—on the subject of "Why Does Norway Participate in Economic and Military Cooperation?" The grand prize is a trip to Paris, New York and Washington. This Norwegian gesture of people-to-people friendship is similar to the American Legion's Tide of Toys which sent several million toys to the children of Europe this year and last. Note—Secretary Marshall's favorite horse was named "Prepare." He has not yet decided what to name the pup, except that he isn't going to name it "McCarthy." ANOTHER RED PLAN FIZZLES BERLIN (AP)—M-31 was a plan for distributing scarce raw materials to the "peoples-owned" industries for the five-year industrial plan. It came into being in the Planning Offices of the "German Democratic Republic" and got the approval of the ruling Socialist Unity (communist) Party. With great fanfare, party boss Walter Ulbricht ordered M-31 into action. The bureaucratic gears ground and the red tape machines ticked. And nothing happened. Orders were placed and the stuff didn't show up. It got to be a scandal and finally Fritz Lange, chairman of the central commission for state snowwhite horses? And people nowadays expect more. They wouldn't even turn out for the parade unless Lady Godiva played a guitar, or carried a rifle and shot down eggs thrown in the air and flying streamers saying, "bring down the high cost of living. Nope, Congressman don't scare as easy as the old Lord of Coventry. They know what the average husband would say if his wife trotted bare down the stairs bound for a horseback ride to lower taxes. "Well, for heaven's sake," he'd say, 'go back upstairs and put on your hat. I don't want you to go out looking like a bum." Then he'd go back to reading his newspaper. LEGAL NOTICES (Pub.

With great fanfare, party boss Walter Ulbricht ordered M-31 into action. The bureaucratic gears ground and the red tape machines ticked. And nothing happened. Orders were placed and the stuff didn't show up. It got to be a scandal and finally Fritz Lange, chairman of the central commission for state control, was hauled on the carpet. Lange looked into it and came out with an indictment against M-31. He said it was a good plan for big projects but the regulation-minded government employees had destroyed its effectiveness by surrounding it with red tape. Therefore, M-31 had to be banished and a new, more simplified method is being worked out now. groom. Prizes for cleverest embroidery work on towels were won by Misses Violet Boege and E. Mott.

Then she saddled up a white horse, took off her robes and rode through Coventry adorned with nothing but her long blonde hair. One tailor, "Peeping Tom," looked out to see what all the hoofbeats were about. He was struck blind, probably by the bright sunshine. On the way home Lady Godiva met her astounded husband, who demanded: "Egad, and what the hell are you doing?" "Cutting taxes," she said innocently. "and if you don't lower the rate, I'm going for another ride tomorrow. I've never had so much fun." She went to bed with a bad case of sunburn, and the next day the peasants got the biggest tax rebate in history. Ever since then peasants figure it will happen again. And what about the heroine? Whenever she asked for a new dress, old man Coventry would say: "Sorry, milady, but our collers are as bare as—as bare as you know what." Today the House of Representatives has passed a new $7,-200,000,000 tax bill, the biggest ever. Frank Tripp's idea is that 49 modern Godivas might help save the day—one to ride through Washington, D.C., and each of the 48 state capitals. It would probably be easy to find the gal volunteers, but where would you find the 49 -Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor THE CALIFORNIA CITRUS picture is such a pitiful thing for the poor old grower that we get a sick feeling right down in the middle every time we think of the bills the grower must find the money for. Maybe a big independent packer and processor is getting a beating—but what is this market doing to the membership of the big co-op? Another pitiful thing is that the grower does not know—YET. He knows the market is very sick but has hopes it will come up and the remainder of this year's crop will bring the average up. What a forlorn hope. Even the jag end of poor Florida fruit is outselling us—IN THE FRESH FRUIT MARKET. That is where the Exchange big-wigs always told us we would be supreme. That probably was correct before Mutual. But now they are even beating us in that lender spot. Even now there is no hint from the top brass of the Exchange that they will attempt to set a floor price under auction offerings, which if not met would cause the fruit to be pulled off the block and put into storage. Of course to make this effective the storage space would have to be leased, built or acquired in some other manner. But it would make the grower money and that is what nobody seems concerned about. TO QUOTE AN ART CRITIC, our handling of the sales of California valencias is the "damndest exhibition of incompetence this side of the equator." The largest handler of California valencia oranges is the Sunkist Exchange and if you can tell us who else should be asked about what is wrong then we would like very much to know. This column said a year ago that when the full impact of Florida's largest crop was felt it would be felt by the California valencia grower. First, because we are at the end of the line as far as hold back due to our silly prorate system. Second, because we were asleep at the switch as far as frozen concentrate was concerned. Each of these last two statements deserves at least a little comment. As to the first one on the prorate: In December the northern navels start and usually hold the southern navels out of the market for a spell. Then the southern navels come and the time they held back for the northern fruit has to be added on to their period. Then they get some extra time and that is the cause of the northern valencias getting a late start. When the northrn valencias finally get out each of these three varieties unloads its cumulative hold-back onto County Comment By GEORGE E. HART Our favorite welfare agency—because it not only stands on its own feet, which is indeed unique, but also enables the physically handicapped to stand on their own feet—is again drawing some deserved praise from the public. Goodwill Industries of Orange county, which pays out all that it takes in, except actual operating costs, as wages to its disabled-veteran and handicapped employees, has just paid out its 600,000th dollar in wages disbursed during the present management's administration, covering the last 15 years. That item offers several things to think about. It is nice to think about all that money going into the pockets of deserving people who would be nigh helpless otherwise to make their way. Many hundreds of disabled veterans and handicapped have shared in this opportunity for self support. It is nice to consider what that money buys for them, in addition to material living — the blessed feeling of independence, of ability to pull their car in the community, to hold up their heads and know that they command respect. There is another nice side of the situation which might escape attention. It is nice to think about the valueless household discards of the county being turned into a payroll that points from $70,000 to $75,000 a year—it was $73,000 last year—into the community's trade channels. It is nice to think about the Orange county taxpayer being Florida's largest crop was felt it would be felt by the California valencia grower. First, because we are at the end of the line as far as hold back due to our silly prorate system. Second, because we were asleep at the switch as far as frozen concentrate was concerned. Each of these last two statements deserves at least a little comment. As to the first one on the prorate: In December the northern navels start and usually hold the southern navels out of the market for a spell. Then the southern navels come and the time they held back for the northern fruit has to be added on to their period. Then they get some extra time and that is the cause of the northern valencias getting a late start. When the northern valencias finally get out each of these three varieties unloads its cumulative hold-back onto the Orange county valencia deal. That is part of the trouble. We get into the market too late. That is what a prorate does to Orange county valencias. True, the whole thing is an industry problem—BUT—how much of the sack is Orange county going to hold? NOW AS TO BEING ASLEEP on frozen concentrate. Our largest shipper still has only a fraction of the capacity needed to reduce the crop to a profitable product. Frozen concentrate is the one thing that can and will pay the grower some dough. Just because the Exchange has not found out how as yet is no proof this is still a "salvage" operation. Have you forgotten what that expert on Florida, Mr. Prizer, had to say a year ago? Well, if you look back, you will see that Mr. Prizer kept up his batting average of being 100 per cent on the other side of right. The bulk of the good fruit that went into the Florida frozen concentrate brought the grower down there the equivalent of better than 2½ cents a box, net on the tree. How many California valencia growers will get one-half that much from our big, expensive co-operative? Read it again—we said ONE-HALE that much. Now, get Mr. Wilcox to tell you how much more it costs to raise valencias in California than in Florida. Rather ask him how much more it costs to "SELL" the California crop? It makes California growers look like chumps. If you grow valencias look in the mirror.

It is nice to think about the valueless household discards of the county being turned into a payroll that pays from $70,000 to $75,000 a year—it was $73,000 last year—into the community's trade channels. It is nice to think about the Orange county taxpayer being saved $600,000 in public relief costs during the past 15 years, while the agency that brought him this saving has not cost him a penny in subsidy. Where is there another welfare or rehabilitation agency in the county that can produce such a record, or such a system of operation, benefitting both the needy and the taxpayer, who usually gets nicked plenty for such activities? There are other organizations picking up salvage from the homes, either susidized by the public or operating for private profit, but the Goodwill program, which is wholly non-profit, puts the household discards to use for the benefit of everybody, with nothing for itself except the satisfaction of unselfish service. Even the people who buy the repaired and refinished discards in the Goodwill store at Santa Ana, which is the means used for converting the discards into wages for the needy, get a benefit. Mostly they are of the low-income group unable to afford anything but this non-competitive merchandise. There are others, of course, who find the store a most interesting place to snoop for antiques and the quaint articles that not infrequently show up there.

Twenty-one prominent Orange county business and professional leaders, men and women, on the Goodwill board of directors, contribute their time to guidance of the program.
