ENSENADA, BAJA CALIFORNIA—The U.S. tourist visiting Lower California is wise to push right on through the international sink-hole called Tijuana and drift down the peninsula to this peaceful and sun-splashed fishing resort which is more truly representative of Old Mexico than is the garish border city.

There is no turmoil and hustle down here; no one is in a hurry; a wrist watch is worn more as a decoration than as an instrument for regulating lives. The North American generally looks upon the Mexican as a lazy person. When we see the Mexican in his native habitat, however, we readily change that concept. He is not lazy. He has learned the art of easy living, something which we "energetic" Yankees will have no part of. This philosophy of life is even apparent among the business men. There is no mad, insensate scrawlable for the dollar, no tense business conferences, and the manager of a store may knock off two or three times a day for an unscheduled siesta at home in his patio or down the street at the most convenient cantina. And despite this apparent carelessness in tending to business, his cash register jingles happily, and unlike his North American counterpart he stands a fine chance of living out his days without fear of heart attacks, high blood pressure or stonach ulcers. If this is laziness, then count me in. This is a peculiar and fascinating land, full of paradoxes. On the one hand is vast wealth, on the other a grinding poverty which is difficult to describe. There is no "middle class" here. You have either got it, or you haven't got it. I would say that 99 per cent of them don't have it. Purposely shunning "Avenue Ruiz," the town's main stem with its glittering curio shops and jewelry stores and its ceaseless parade of well-dressed American tourists, we took a walk through the residential district the other evening and got a close-in view of the "other half." It is easy to look into the homes, if one may describe them as such. There are no sidewalks, no front yards, no lawns. The houses are crude wooden shacks which an Anaheimer would hesitate to build. Mail Bag To the editor: In the Tuesday edition of the Gazette are some statements hatched from the "Egg Shaped Head" of your Mr. Waldo Hunter to which many people could well take exception. As a defense of the present "Fair Deal" administration, the article is quite equal to some of the gems of wisdom prepared by Blaht House cromes for release to the gullible public. He, (W. Hunter), in attempting to persuade us that the current run of Federal politicians are no worse than those who held steady in the past, harks back to the Harding regime as an example of Republican corruption, knowing full well that the pillerian of the public treasure chest in those days—30 years ago—was a mere handful of peanuts compared to what is now going on. The prodigality and utter disregard of the wasting of billions by the present Pendergast graduates should be appalling even to Mr. H., who deigns in said article to say: “There is even some reason to believe that outright bribes have been accepted.” Now where could he have dug up such a fantastic idea? Well, lets get on. Waldo comes up with the notion that it is the system that is causing such awful corruption and until we change the system we can expect men in high office to be crooked. Then he asks, "But what other system is there to choose? Lets ask him one, 'What's the matter with our system?' We have a Constitution and Bill of Rights that has never been improved upon by any other nation. Our worry is not the system but men who are incorruptible. We need a great leader who can gather about him men of ability, who have the welfare of the nation at heart. A man who obeys not only the laws of the land, but the laws of God. Then we will hear no more of mink coat and five per center scandals; communist spies holding high positions in our government. WASHINGTON—The other I received this letter from my wife lives in a town where I am a good share of my teen-age age. My dear Mr. Dean: "I see by the inclosed copy that the United States is ning new A-bomb tests, and the purpose is to see why they have been made more I take it that: as in the paper big aim is to scare the day out of Russia. She will, of go at it with a will, and put out in this devilish way of massive destruction army vice business. "I should think that the richest and disgrateful rest our little experiment with a bomb in Hiroshima and saki would make men, whom themselves Christian, their experiments with an energy to the wonderful that can be done with it to prove life and industry destroy them. "I remember your father as a courageous and fine sizer, Mr. Dean. I think it bad for his son to concentrate on the murderous aspects of energy." This was a disturbing to receive, not because there is right—because she isn't rather because it shows there are apparently her patriotic, thinking America who fear we are not just trying to maintain and include our world leadership in the of atomic energy. I don't know how many in the United States share views of this lady. I hope are not many, for they are exactly the views the memoir Kremlin are asking the we believe about us, and which would dearly like to have genius to believe about ourselves. To hold the belief, even moment that the Soviet Tare in the atomic bomb but just because we are, is one its glittering curio shops and jewelry stores and its censeless parade of well-dressed American tourists, we took a walk through the residential district the other evening and got a close-in view of the "other half." It is easy to look into the homes, if one may describe them as such. There are no sidewalks, no front yards, no lawns. The houses are crude wooden shacks which an Anaheimer would hesitate to use as chicken houses. The filth is deplorable. Flooors are caked with greasy dirt and littered with trash. Human sewage and garbage are everywhere in evidence. Dirty, half-naked little gams comp about the shacks and many, starving mongrels slink through the streets. The baleful glow from sputtering kerosene lamps throw the un-glassed, un-screened windows into sharp relief, and the summer evening air is pregnant with an unholy blend of assorted stenches which would cause the strongest stomach to relay signs of imminent revolt. These are the Mexican masses. It is impossible to compare their standard of living with ours. They don't have any. Yet, strangely, you hear them laughing and singing in this setting of basest squalor. The Mexican is a philosophical sort of a fellow. If a dog lies at his black door it is not likely that the man of the house will bestir himself to do anything about it. The carcass will bloat and rot; the maggot and ant eventually dispose of the meat, and the bones may lie there and blanch for years. This is not written to discredit these people. This is a report. It would be unfair to castigate them for conditions over which they have no control. It seems that the Church down here goes to great lengths to educate Pasquale and Conchita on what comes after death, but it apparently makes little effort to show them how to live decently in the meantime. A little instruction would be in order. Why in the United States share views of this lady. I hope are not many, for they are exactly the views the men Kremlin are asking the wives believe about us, and which would dearly like to have a gift to believe about ourselves. To hold the belief, even moment that the Soviet们 are in the atomic bomb but just because we are, is one worst possible mistake we make. These men do not do because we have done some first to stimulate them. The things because they believe own interests are best served doing them, and they do the part of their master plan achieve domination of the world. We did nothing to force the blockade Berlin. We did not force them to take over Chelovakia. We did nothing to them to send the North Korea to invade South Korea. All have done nothing to force to block almost every single In the United Nations to peace to the world—including American-supported U.N. p devastating typhoid epidemic not wiped this town out long can probably be explained by fact that even the germs stand the place.

That's the way most of when they come down here IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Surveyor Healy is at work surveying out a tract of land on the con Joaquin rancho extending from Tustin to Newport and two miles wide. This tract will be divided into 40, 80 and 160 acres for sale to settlers. The circus procession yesterday was a good affair and the street vendors were crowded with people. A pleasure party will leave here for Anaheim Landing on Sunday. The evenings of the average naheimer are pretty well occupied. On Monday he attends the meeting of the Literary Society and by way of variation he goes to the Orion Encampment two Mondays in each month. On Tuesday, he fraternizes with his brethren of Anaheim Lodge No. 199, IOOF. On Wednesday, he plays seven-up in the bosom of his family, or attends the Hayes & Wheeler club, on Thursday, he drops in to see how Orpheus lodge of Odd Fellows (German) is getting on, on Friday he abjures the seductive cocktail and the thirst quenching lager and visits Anaheim Lodge of Good Templars. On Saturday afternoon he attends the Grange, and in the evening he rides the festive goal at the Masonic meeting, in eulogizes Tilden & Hendricks at Enterprise hall. On Sunday, he goes to church or to bed. Mr. Gibson lost a number of fine sheep on Thursday night. Some dogs drove the sheep from the corral and killed or wounded between forty and fifty. 50 Years Ago The Board of Supervisors on Monday, fired upon Tuesday, September 24 as the date for holding the election at Fullerton upon the question of the incorporation of that town into a municipality.

In the advent of no new rainfall the scheduled games in the Church League Shaughnessy playoffs will be played tonight. Church of Christ will meet St. Boniface in the first game, with Bethel Baptist and White Temple playing the second contest. St. Boniface leads their series one game to none, while Bethel Baptist and White Temple have won one game apiece. All Playoff series are two out of three series. Game time for tonight for the first game is 7:15. Faint Chance For Stars to Win PC Flag (By The Associated Press) Hollywood's Stars, still entertaining a faint hope of overtaking Seattle and winning the Pacific Coast league flag, are scheduled to open a five-game series tonight against Los Angeles, which would like to finish third. Chances are that both teams will fall to achieve their objectives.

The following officers of election were elected: Judges, W. T. Brown, F. D. Reed; Inspectors, J. E. Ford Henderson; Clerks, H. C. Head, E. W. West; Ballot Clerks, Joseph Hiltscher, William Schumacher. The liquor question will enter largely into the question of incorporation. The Prohibitionists have placed the following ticket in the field: For Trustees, A. McDermont, Dr. Rich, F. D. Reed, B. W. Dean, G. C. Weltore; City Marshall, Charles Ruddock; City Clerk, B. V. Garwood; Treasurer, George Ruddock. The license people have not yet announced their ticket. There seems to be some opposition to incorporation. Henry Strodthoff and wife returned some days ago from Rome, A. T., and are visiting with relatives in town. They will remain a week or two and will then proceed to Macosari, Sonora, where Mr. Strodthoff will enter the employ of the Copper Queen Mining company. He has severed his connection with Senator Clark's corporation at Jerome after an uninterrupted service of eight years and will in future give his attention to the development of the extensive properties belonging to the Copper Queen company. 25 Years Ago Herman J.

Chances are that both teams will fall to achieve their objectives. Seattle is in Portland for a series in which it could clinch the pennant. But Portland has improved lately, and the Rainies may have their hands full. Oakland, reposing in the second division, two points behind fourth place Los Angeles, is entertaining San Francisco. The Seals are hoping they can get out of last place. Sacramento and San Diego, just a notch above San Francisco are fighting it out in San Diego. Rain cancelled last night's games in Hollywood and San Diego. Hollywood had a game scheduled with Seattle. The cancellation means the Stars-Rainier game will not be played. Even if it could determine the flag, San Diego's wet grounds kept Los Angeles idle. Today's likely pitching selections: Hollywood (Ben Wade 14-6) at Los Angeles (Warren Hacker 7-14) San Francisco (Lloyd Dickey 7-9) at Oakland (Bill Ayors 20-13) Seattle (Al Lyons 8-3) at Portland (Red Lynn 13-9) Sacramento (Walter Clough 10-10) at San Diego (Guy Fletcher 7-12).

I hope there is not many, for they are just actively the views the men in the reminiscent are asking the world to believe about us, and which they would dearly like to have us beet to believe about ourselves. To hold the belief, even for a moment that the Soviet leaders are in the atomic bomb business, it because we are, is one of the first possible mistakes we could take. These men do not do things because we have done something best to stimulate them. They do things because they believe their own interests are best served by them, and they do them as part of their master plan to achieve domination of the world. We did nothing to force them to attack Berlin. We did nothing to force them to take over Czecho-havakia. We did nothing to force them to send the North Koreans invade South Korea.

Even if we did not have a single atomic bomb, I am convinced that the Soviet leaders would be just as hard at work building atomic bombs of their own, and—if they knew we had none—there would be a much better chance than now exists that they would use such weapons against us. Our ever-growing stockpile of atomic weapons, far from being a stimulant to war, is actually the most important single safeguard against World War III. Our bombs are for defense—of ourselves and our Allies. They are not for the purpose of making aggressive war against anyone. We used the atomic bomb against the Japanese not to destroy lives, but to save lives—the lives of the hundreds of thousands of Americans and Japanese that inevitably would have been lost if World War II had continued.

Brother! Here’s a Mighty Tall Fish Tale – By a Local Fisherman Some of the biggest liars of the year will blush when they read this story. Roy Field of the Wheel Alignment Service of S. Los Angeles st., and an avid fisherman wrote of fish experiences for the Los Angeles Liar’s Contest. He didn’t win but he should get credited for trying. By ROY FIELD I had the most wonderful experience this year while fishing for albacore. It borders on the fantastic but I swear it is the truth—and you will soon see that I have plenty of witnesses. As I said, we were fishing too albacore and somebody said, “Maybe they’re deep down—so putting on a heavy sinker I let my line down about 150 feet and settled back for what I thought would be a long wait. Suddenly I felt a mighty pull and of course set the hook immediately. The pole bent double and the line ran out so fast the reel began to smoke, but having a lot of confidence in my line I tightened the drag and just before all my line was gone, the fish began to come toward me—that is, straight up. I receded in as fast as I could but couldn’t keep up and all of a sudden there was a mighty boiling of the water and with an awful roar the mightiest whale of all time surfaced alongside the boat — that is, his head did, as he was all of 500 feet long. He glared down at me and I naturally was terrified for an instant. However, I recovered quickly and the thought flashed through my mind (I always was a quick thinker) that dangerous snakes and animals were often quieted by music. I therefore resumed my being on his head and didn’t object. In fact, he was enjoying my music so much that he seemed to want to help me. At least he flipped a big whisker up on each side of his head which I instinctively caught while holding the harmonica in my teeth, and playing at the same time. I pulled experimentally on one whisker and lo and behold—the great whale started in motion going in the direction I indicated. By this time I began to enjoy myself, and by this before mentioned method we traveled at a tremendous speed, soon passing my fishing companions who stood on the deck of their craft with their mouths open staring at us as we passed. Soon they were thinging on to the rail for dear life as our wake caught up to their boat and tossed it around like a leaf in a hurricane. Approaching the harbor we created quite a sensation. In passing the Battleship Missouri they were so busy watching us that they ran ground and we had to turn around, attach a hauser and tow the craft to deeper waters. My wonderful steed then “took the bit in his teeth” as the saying goes, and made a mighty sweep out to sea with his mouth open and then sped back to the harbor, coming to a stop alongside a wharf to which I quickly scrambled and then with a mighty blow, he emptied two tons of albacore on the dock beside me. Whereupon (I always was a quick thinker) I tossed the harmonica to him and he began to play at once. I stood on the dock gazing out to sea at the wonderful creature preceding in the distance as the beautiful sirens of Silva... with an awful roar the mightiest whale of all time surfaced alongside the boat — that is, his head did, as he was all of 500 feet long. He glared down at me and I naturally was terrified for an instant. However, I recovered quickly and the thought flashed through my mind (I always was a quick thinker) that dangerous snakes and animals were often quieted by music. I therefore reached in my pocket, got my harmonica and commenced to play "Now I lay me down to sleep" and the great brute liked it. He blinked his eyes, expelled about five tons of water out of his mouth—sighed and relaxed. By this time my companions began to blame me for our predicament on account of me hooking him—as if I could help it, besides all I could do was listen—I didn't dare quit playing to the whale to answer them. That continued for about 36 minutes and I began to grow desperate and thinking to spare my companions further danger. (I always was thoughtful of others) I continued playing as I climbed up on top of the whale's head, at the same time motioning my companions to pull away—which they did as fast as their boat would take them. The great whale seemed to sense Rams Facing Tough Games on Big Tour LOS ANGELES UP — Coach Joe Stydahar's aerial grid circus, the Los Angeles Rams, dies away today on a tough four-game exhibition swing, that could stamp the club as a powerful factor in the 1951 National Football League title race. Many firmly believe that the Rams, if not in 1951 at least by 1952, may develop into one of the all-time great clubs of the league.
