Everything is free, except tickets for the barbecue must be obeyed. Import Water or Export People, Local Lions Told Last Friday Jack Crill, president of the Orange County Water District, told the members of the Anaheim Lions club that the most important problem in the county is water. Future progress depends on the available supply of water; population growth, industrial expansion and agriculture development will not be possible without additional water, he asserted. At the present time every well of importance in the county is pumping from stratas below sea level and this is hastening the encroachment of salt-contaminated water. Crill warned. During the past few years this encroachment has been at the rate of one thousand feet a year. This means that wells located along the coastal strip cannot be used as the water contains salt. There are two ways to stop this terrible contamination, either stop pumping so much water from wells or obtain a supply of good water to replenish the underground basin. The only possible source of additional water is from the Metropolitan Water district. To obtain this water the Orange County Water district must join the Metropolitan Water district and this is going to be put up to the voters in those sections of the county which do not already belong.

With one session already under their belts, the commissioners have plenty to consider regarding the ordinance, before the St Petroleum Co.'s variance applies comes up before City Council. The aim of the Planning Commission and Council has been at least the basic outline of an ordinance on paper because anything definite is done with guard to the Steele Co.'s request for permission to drill within city limits. The Planning Commission denied the request several weeks ago, but the company promptly appealed the decision to the council. Other subjects on the agenda are consideration of two variants and the tentative map of Tr 1452; setting dates for public hearings on re-zoning of the Males and Robertshaw-Fulton nexations and reclassification of the east side of S. Los Angeles st., from South st., to the so City limits. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Gremlins in Hallowe’en Brew, Festival Officials Lament Witches, hobgoblins and gremlins are out early this year. Those ornery little phantoms whose chief delight is to snafu the best laid plans of conscientious committees and get in the hair of serious citizens, have already been at work. Here’s what happened. The committee in charge of the Miss Slick Chick Masquerade Ball originally selected Friday, Oct. 19, as the date. Plans were made. The Elk’s club ballroom rented and Esper Kalser’s orchestra engaged for that night. Entry blanks for the Miss Slick Chick contest were printed. Right here is where the gremlins first showed their hands. Believe it or not, the mischievous rascals somehow managed to pie the printers type and when the blanks appeared the date line for the ball read Saturday, Oct. 19, 1951. Confusing? Read on gentle reader, that’s only the beginning. Just when the committee was ready to order tickets printed, someone remembered the high school football games were usually played on Friday nights. The Anaheim Union High school office was called. “Yes,” the information was given, “there is a game scheduled for FRIDAY, OCT. 19, with Santa Ana at Santa Ana!” The committee had every reason to believe the information authentic. After all, it came direct from the high school’s own office. Gremlins again! The committee hurriedly got on the ball and made new arrangements to get the ballroom and the orchestra for Saturday night, so as not to compete with the football game. They called the newspapers and announced the change of date, then sat back happily, feeling the day had been saved. Not so. Not so. Shades of the witches of Endor. The cauldron boiled and steamed and the witches had brewed yet another headache for the committee.

Bob Campbell, who organized the Christian Boys Athletic club of the Country Church in Talbert, where he has been prominent in religious activities, particularly with youth, was taken to Santa Ana Community hospital this morning after what the cooper's office said was a suicide attempt at a cabin in Silverado canyon. Deputy Coroner Frank Hansen had been called to Silverado by report of parents of a small boy who had found what he said was a dead man in the cabin. Hansen found the supposed body lying on a mattress on the kitchen floor with blankets across the windows and the doors sealed with rugs and towels. As he kneeled beside the body, Campbell twitched one arm and muttered "I can't fight the com-mies any more." Hansen ordered Campbell's removal to the hospital, where it is understood he will recover from the effects of the gas, that had been turned on in the cabin.

Reds Persist In Silence On Truce Talks; Allies Prepared To Strike Hard Bradley Says Reds Must Make Move TOKYO (UP)—Red leaders persisted today in their long silence on an Allied proposal to change the Korean truce meeting place from Kaesong to no-man's land. Gen. Omar Bradley said Sunday the future of the armistice negotiations "will depend on the nature" of the Communist reply. The chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff flew to Korea Monday with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway, Allied Supreme Commander, and Charles (Chjp) Bohlen, State Department expert on Russia. Bradley, wearing battle dress, went to Korea to visit front-line divisions. Ridgway Tells Reds To Make Choice U.S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea (UP) — The Eighth Army is "prepared to strike, and strike hard" in Korea if the reds want all-out war instead of truce talks.

Matthew B. Ridgway's public information office. It came as Gen. Omar N. Bradley, America's top military leader, and Ridgway toured command posts on the eastern front where the United Nations' autumn offensive got underway last Tuesday. On the other side of the war-torn peninsula, sunny skies brought the air war back to Korea. Twenty-seven U.S. F-86 Sabre jets clashed with about 40 red-nosed communist MIG-15s in a series of dogfights that swirled for 25 minutes north of Sinanju. The U.S. Fifth Air Force said one of the Russian-made MIGs was destroyed and three were damaged. No Allied losses were reported. Of truce negotiations, the Ridgway headquarters statement said "the whole issue of the resumption of talks is one that cannot be hedged much longer. "Meanwhile, indications are that the Eighth Army is not planning to sit idly by while the commu- stants string out negotiations for another long period. A few days ago an autumn offensive was started. The Eighth Army com- mander, Gen. James A. Van Fleet, said, 'whether this new effort will be limited, I am not at liberty to say,' but the fact remains that the U.N. command army is poised and prepared to strike, and strike hard, should the reds decide that they have had enough of the armistice talks and wish to get on with the war on an all-out scale." UN Tackles Iran Problem Today as Evacuation Set (By the Associated Press) NEW YORK (E.P)—The United Nations plunges into the bitter British-Iranian oil dispute today, with Britain apparently bowing in advance to Iran's order expelling Britons from the great Abadan refinery area. A London announcement said Britain plans to evacuate all her oil men from Abadan by Thurs- World War III is Issue in British General Election SCARBOROUGH, Eng. (AP) — The Labor party made the threat of a third World War its prime issue today in Britain's general election campaign. It claimed that only a labor government could work effectively for world peace. By implication it branded Winston Churchill's Conservatives a potential war party. Some 1500 delegates and party leaders opened a two and a half day annual conference at this seaside resort in preparation for the Oct. 25 election. Prime Minister Clement Attlee officially presents the party manifesto—its election platform—to the conference at 8 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time). The four-point manifesto places its prime emphasis on peace. The other three points are full employment and increased production, a cut in the cost of living, and a continued polity of soak-the-rich and reward the worker. The 1800 word platform was put together and unanimously approved by party leaders including Aneurin Bevan, former health minister who split with Attlee last April. The party's program bore the clear imprint of pressure brought by Bevan on the other leaders. Evacuation Set (By the Associated Press) NEW YORK (AP)—The United Nations plunges into the bitter British-Iranian oil dispute today, with Britain apparently bowing in advance to Iran's order expelling Britons from the great Abadan refinery area. A London announcement said Britain plans to evacuate all her oil men from Abadan by Thursday, the deadline set by the Nationalist Iranian government. The British Foreign office said the evacuation was planned "in view of the uncertainties of the situation and of the necessity to provide against all eventualities." It said Britain's appeal to the Security Council "is intended, among other things, to restore the position at Abadan." This seemed to imply that Britain regarded the withdrawal as a temporary measure. In Paris, a French cabinet minister said France will support Great Britain if the United Nations Security Council of State for Foreign Affairs, said "it is on the plane of collective security, and to defend the principles we defend everywhere and in all circumstances, that we bring our support to Britain." Iran made it clear she was insisting upon the expulsion in spite of the pending British complaint before the Security Council. Deputy Premier Hossein Fatemi said in Tehran that the Security Council had no power to recommend that Iran lift the expulsion order. Previously, Hussein Makki, of the Iranian National Oil board, said if the Britains insisted on staying at the refinery, they would be "escorted off by police." (Continued on Page 5)
