MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Our growing population... Looking forward to a tremendous influx of defense workers in California, Governor Earl Warren is taking a long-range view of the situation and is preparing the state to do what it can to take care of this influx. California, he points out, hasn't recovered from the World War II invasion of population, in other words, the services normally offered the population never have been brought up to par, particularly in the field of education. Yet with the expanding national defense effort, much of which will center on the West Coast, and particularly in California, the state, cities and counties will be expected to take care of another influx. $250,000,000 school bond issue was voted, and ever since, funds have been allocated to improve and expand school facilities throughout California. Yet this large fund, the experts point out, wasn't even enough with 10 and a half million population to bring the school system up to a modern level. Then there is the matter of highways. California's highway system, despite the four and a half cent gas tax, is deficient to the extent of more than a billion dollars, and even at present expenditures and with the state's present population, it would take more than a life time to bring the highway system up to par. Sanitation poses still another public utility concern tests with the equalization over of their properties of market value, merely exhausts five remedy, and for a court action tax rates incountments on utilities $1,825,353,100.

War II invasion of population, in other words, the services normally offered the population never have been brought up to par, particularly in the field of education. Yet with the expanding national defense effort, much of which will center on the West Coast, and particularly in California, the state, cities and counties will be expected to take care of another influx. Consequently, the governor has appointed a nine-member Defense Mobilization Service committee to assist communities in this state to take in stride the impact of the added burden additional population will entail. Some idea of the size of the influx is obtained from recent estimates of the State Department of Finance, which is asking departments to compute budgets on the basis of 11,500,000 population by the close of the fiscal year in July, 1953. This is approximately a million more people than are in California at the present time, a state which roughly is equipped to handle somewhat less than 10 million. The expected additional population can have a potent effect on the tax dollar. For instance, a Then there is the matter of highways. California's highway system, despite the four and a half cent gas tax, is deficient to the extent of more than a billion dollars, and even at present expenditures and with the state's present population, it would take more than a life time to bring the highway system up to par. Sanitation poses still another problem. Many communities already are working to capacity their waste disposal systems, and the influx of new population will mean more bonds for expansions. While some progress has been made in housing since World War II, nevertheless, thousands of California families still are living in the barrack-type buildings erected by the government as emergency shelter during that war. This, undoubtedly will pose another critical problem. The governor's committee, it appears, will have plenty to do to cope with some of these problems. It will of necessity formulate broad policies to be followed in stimulating and helping to organize community action to study and meet the needs of the people as they develop, as well as to make the most effective use of federal, state and local resources. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Downey City needs a brass band and we understand that an effort is being made to organize one in that town. A competent gentleman, a recent arrival will take the leadership and there are also several other persons there who have been members of bands. Why cant we have a public bath house in Anaheim? We understood last season that Messrs. Heimann and Sorenson contemplated building a bath house on their vineyard, and hope they have not given up the idea. We further suggest that a bath house and laundry can be very profitably water in abundance. One transcontinental line has been surveyed through the ranch and when the San Pedro harbor is completed, another line will traverse to same town. Thus it will be seen that Borromes' prospects are of a roseate here. Dr. Lloyd Bailey returned to Mazattan from San Francisco on Monday having been unable to make the trip here owing to pressing business engagements in Mexico. Joseph Backs authorizes the statement that an important business meeting of the Turners will be held at Turners hall on Saturday at $13,500 united of new law. Although are being taken no new program will Why cant we have a public bath house in Anaheim? We understood last season that Messrs. Heimann and Sorenson contemplated building a bath house on their vineyard, and hope they have not given up the idea. We further suggest that a bath house and laundry can be very profitably combined, and that a white laundry would meet with hearty support in Anaheim. It is irritating to the miserable wretch who is compelled to spend his summer in town to hear about the splendid bathing they are having at the Landing, the Laguna and other beach resorts. We have abundance of water and it is a sin that we do not use some of it for a public bath house. We feel sure that such an institution would pay well in Anaheim, and the proprietor would be entitled to the lasting thanks of all. Thomas E. Rowan, late county treasurer, has been named Under Sheriff, in the County Sheriff's office. He succeeds Major H. M. Mitchell who has retired. 50 Years Ago Col. J. K. Tuffree has for some days past been surveying his Rancho Buena Vista into 10 and 20 acre lots, laying out wide avenues and thoroughfares and will on Tuesday, Sept. 17, begin an auction sale of a limited number of lots with a view to starting the new town of Borromes. The location is ideal, the ranch being surrounded by orange and walnut groves and close to its southern border lies the richest oil field in Southern California. There is also Dr. Lloyd Bailey returned to Mazattan from San Francisco on Monday having been unable to make the trip here owing to pressing business engagements in Mexico. Joseph Backs authorizes the statement that an important business meeting of the Turners will be held at Turners hall on Saturday evening, at which plans for their forth coming picnic will be discussed. A full attendance is desired. 25 Years Ago Gov. Richardson was tendered a magnificent ovation at St. Ann's Inn on Friday evening when 350 men and women sat down to an elaborate dinner in his honor. Many hundreds more would have been present but for the fact that the capacity of the dining room was taxed to its uttermost. The Governor arrived at 6 o'clock accompanied by Mrs. Richardson, his son, John, and C. C. Chapman. Among other Orange county men prominent at the meeting were Thomas B. Talbert, Nelson T. Edwards, Justus Craemer and many others. Registration of 1,854,471 voters for the primary election to be held Aug. 31, was announced Monday by Secretary of State, Frank C. Jordan. This total exceeds by 233,018, the 1924 primary registration which was 1,621,453. Los Angeles county registered 660,444 voters this year compared with 572,139 in 1924. San Francisco registered 220,823 as compared with 198,364, and the registration of Alameda county was 198,265 as compared with 182,615.

MACARTHUR (Capitol News Service) SACKAMENTO—More than 20 public utility concerns filed protests with the state board of equalization over the assessment of their properties at 50 per cent of market value, a protest which merely exhausts their administrative remedy, and paves the way for a court action to secure lower tax rates in counties. Total assessments on utilities amounts to $1,825,353,100. The protests were heard orally by the board, and the charge was made the assessments were unconstitutional, but it was a foregone conclusion from previous action that the members would stick by their announced assessment rate. The utilities' protest is on grounds that common property in the counties, based on the findings of the board itself, is assessed at a much lower rate, and that the state constitution provides for "equalization." In other words, the state average for common property as found by the board, is 40 per cent of value, while the range is from 24 to 46 per cent in the various counties. The utilities, naturally, want assessments in the counties. that common property in the counties, based on the findings of the board itself, is assessed at a much lower rate, and that the state constitution provides for "equalization." In other words, the state average for common property as found by the board, is 40 per cent of value, while the range is from 24 to 46 per cent in the various counties. The utilities, naturally, want assessments in the counties which will compare to the common property rates, a demand which if granted, would impose a heavier tax burden on every common property owner in California. Executive Governor Warren still vacationing in Santa Monica, took time out after a deer hunt on Santa Rosa Island to appoint a defense mobilization service committee, which will endeavor to guide the communities of California with regard to housing, community facilities, recreation, sanitation and other needs for an estimated influx of a million people by the end of the 1953 fiscal year; granted two pardons after approval by superior courts in Kings and Stanislaus counties; expressed regret at the death of William Randolph Hearst, declaring "this country has lost a great American who has fought for those things that he firmly believed to be right"; applied for a passport to fly to Japan to visit the 40th Division, California National Guard and expected to return to San Francisco in time for opening ceremonies of the Japanese Peace Treaty.

His column today takes the form of a letter written from Germany to his wife about her son.) Munich, Germany Dear L. W: Driving up toward the Czech border the other night, about dusk, I noticed a big van lumbering along with a little car behind it. The van looked like it was lost from our convoy and we stopped it to inquire. In the little car behind was your son. He was pushing the driver of that big van like a terrier biting the heels of a recalcitrant bull because that van contained the most important part of our "Winds for Freedom" operation—namely, the messages we were sending by balloon that night to the people of Czechoslovakia. The Winds of Freedom, incidentally, shift back and forth along the border and neither he nor I knew exactly where to join the other trucks. But he had instructions to meet a lookout in front of the post office in Weiden, a little town 10 miles from the border. The lookout directed us 10 miles in another direction, where we sighted our convoy and where your son finally delivered the 2,000,000 messages to the Czech people on time. The trucks were parked on a narrow road on the Bavarian hillside almost on a straight line toward Pilscher and Prague, the two largest cities of Czechoslovakia. Tyler operated the valve on the hydrogen tank+supervising a crew of three Germans. The balloon is in the summer time, milk and cream have a way of turning sour when we least expect it. Thanks to modern refrigeration, this does not happen as frequently as it once did, but occasionally most every home-maker finds a little dab of cream or half a bottle of milk gone sour. What do you do with it? There are so many delicious dishes that can be made with sour milk or cream that once we have tried them, we sometimes let the fruits of the dairy sour on purpose! Devils food cake seems richer and more velvety when made with sour milk, and pan cakes or waffles are positively out of this world. Sour cream cookies are much better than they sound, and veal cooked in sour cream is unbelievably tender. Sour cream dressing makes delicious slaw, and if you likt tart salads, you are certain to enjoy cucumbers with sour cream dressing. The following recipes are the sort that you will want to file away for an opportune occasion later. Should you not want to wait for nature to take its course, the thick, rich commercially sourced cream may be used, or you may sour the sweet milk with vine-ace across the Iron Curtain.

Authority also said it would start action on Marin-Contra Costa bridge as far as plans and specifications are concerned at its next meeting. Wild-Life Conservation Although property owners in Butte and Sutter counties are protesting acquisition of some 4500 acres for an addition to Grey Lodge Waterfowl refuge, nevertheless the State Public Works Board took action to make more than $600,000 available to buy the lands. Here and There A million dollar Los Angeles corporation filed articles stating it would produce full length motion pictures for television; alloca-tion of nearly $60 million for a quarter's take of gasoline taxes was announced by State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel; civil defense announced it would start training 240 instructors in the art of detecting and reporting unexploded bombs; reports from California State Fair indicated the show this year will be outstanding, with proper protection to the public on sanitation, food and other items; public works let contracts for $3,028,020 for construction of a hospital at Porterville, which will be known as the Porterville State Home; Forestry reported that thousands of acres of California timber and watershed lands are being ravaged by fire as it sent hundreds of men and a mass of fire-fighting apparatus into the stricken areas; Legislative Auditor A. Alan Post recommended more economy in construction of school buildings for which state funds are allocated, citing that cafeterias and auditoriums should be curtailed in favor of more class rooms for children of the expanding population. across the Iron Curtain. I autographed one of these balloons for Gottwald and Stalin. Before I left, I went down the line of murky trucks, to see your son. I located him sitting inside a truck, listening to German veterans and ex-prisoners, swapping war experiences with American G.I. students—men who had once been fighting each other but who now worked together launching friendship messages to another people whom they hoped they wouldn't have to fight. Germans, incidentally, supposed to be the military master race, seem to me completely pacifist. German youngsters are just as unenthusiastic about raising an army as your son and other American youngsters are about the draft. Sometimes I think it's chiefly the old dodoes who are complacent about the prospect of war. However, I'm convinced that Moscow wants to wait a considerable time before it plunges the world into war. Its satellite peoples are too restless and would turn against the Kremlin in case of war. That's why I think this balloon deal, coming at this particular time, may help. It's only a drop in the bucket, of course, and lots of people will pooh-pooh it but you have to make a start some way or other in attempts at penetrating the Iron Curtain, so we've taken the first step.

County Comment By GEORGE HART McCracken's talking dog, which impressed some jurors at his first trial, but convulsed court attaches and newspapermen, is still active, it appears. After McCracken's lawyers had complained to the court that their client wasn't being fed at the county jail, a reporter asked one of the jailors about it. "Oh, we put the food out for McCracken," said the jailer, "but would you believe it, that dog comes along and takes it." Actually, McCracken did miss one meal, through inadvertence, the jailors say. His lawyers claimed he wasn't fed for two days and on a third day the food was so covered with hot chili that he couldn't eat it. Is juvenile delinquency more rampant in the city than in the country?

Is it increasing despite all the thought and effort being expended on preventing it? If one Orange county city, Santa Ana, is typical, the answer is yes to both questions. Santa Ana police handled 1372 juvenile cases during 1950. There were only 1033 (what do we mean "only") in all the unincorporated territory of Orange county, handled by the Sheriff's office. Since the rural area has about twice the population of Santa Ana, the preponderance of juvenile delinquency in the county's largest city is the more pronounced. For what it may be worth here is a statistic on increase in juvenile delinquency. In 1949, Santa Ana police made 3446 contacts and investigations of juvenile cases. In 1950 they made 26,844 such contacts and investigations. Police believe that juvenile delinquency is frequently the product of parents who expect school teachers to supervise their children during the day and the police to take over after school hours until the parents get home from wherever they've been. Superior Judge Robert Gardner had a more explicit analysis of juvenile delinquency in a recent talk to Santa Ana Kiwanians. As presiding judge of juvenile court last year, he found three principal causes for juvenile delinquency among children from the so-called "better" homes, which evidently are no better than they should be, in this respect. He named them in this order: No. 1—Father so busy with lodge or service club, Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Community chest, chamber of commerce or whatnot that practically all his meals are taken out and his evenings likewise occupied, so that he never sees his kids. No parental contact. No. 2—Lack of employment. The kid with a job keeps out of trouble. The kid in the fine art of killing, talk about codes of honor? The instructors at West Point, among countless other courses, teach their young charges how to use deception, duplicity, intrigue, base treachery, falsehood and skullduggery to get to the enemy soldier and do away with him by any number of means, such as shooting him with a rifle, dropping a bomb on him, sneaking up from behind him and puncturing his kidney with a bayonet, knocking his brains out with a rock, or even choking him to death with the bare hands. There is no "code of honor" on a battlefield, in the science of war, everything is fair, and no holds are barred. With such stuff as this drilled into him is it not reasonable to suppose that a struggling and confused potential young shavetail at West Point might get a false sense of values and look upon classroom cheating as a very minor transgression? The cadets probably figured that the chance was well worth the taking; they just simply could not embarrass family, friends and the congressman who recommended them to The Point by flunking out of a course. They probably also figured that dad wouldn't be the business success he is back home without pulling off some "tricks of the trade" himself which under close analysis would hardly measure up to strict honesty as it is known today. They may also have figured that the politician who sponsored them no doubt got elected to office by pulling a lot dirtier deals than judging at examination time. Despite the hue and cry and the furor attendant upon this shocking expose of students taking the easy way out of a tough situation by means of a set of rigged examination questions, I, for one, doubt that the world is coming to an end, and I am going right ahead with plans to put in a lawn.

W:ENER SCHNITZEL Choose a good size slice of veal from the round, cut one-half inch thick. Wipe with a damp cloth and dip in egg and cracker crumbs or simply dredge it with flour. Heat one-fourth cup cooking fat in a frying pan and add paprika to make the fat red. Saute slightly in the fat one-half cup of sliced onions. Remove the onions and brown the meat. Cover the meat with fried onions, add one-half cup sour cream, cover the pan, and simmer over a very low flame until the meat is tender. This should take about a half hour.

No. 3—Lack of physical discipline. Child psychologists a few years back came up with the proposition that babies are little angels from tiween and will grow up that way if let alone. Instead of which, they become little hellions. More trips to the woodshed is indicated treatment.
