Did you know the iceman is still delivering just about as much ice — 35 million tons annually—as he did 30 years ago? And this, in the face of the sale of four million mechanical refrigerators annually in recent years. Members of the National Association of Ice Industries, meeting this week in Houston, Texas, say they have found new customers in industry to replace the ones they lost in the homes. They add they have been able to keep some of the old customers by new methods, new equipment and new services. The association says there are more than 19 million ice boxes still in use in the homes. And more than 6,000 ice companies serve is also trying to induce more food stores to display produce on ice beds, to keep them at their freshest. About a third of the ice produced each year goes into railroad refrigerator cars and many refrigerated trucks. The seafood industry uses some six million tons a year for this highly perishable food. Ice also plays a part in the manufacture of many articles. The association lists chocolate, cigars, ice cream, liquors, drugs, varnish, hats, explosives, sausage, film and glue. The iceman got quite a jolt 30 years ago when the mechanical refrigerator began to sell in volume. Some ice companies were marked WASHINGTON in three different world last week's story of the worst pains, its fears.

HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago November 1876 The school trustees after carefully examining the various parcels of land offered for sale for the location of a school house, accepted the tract known as Block B of vineyard lot D-3, offered by Messrs Hammel & Denker & Koll for $1500, providing a satisfactory title could be given for same. The tract contains about two acres of land and is located nearest the center of this school district. Mr. H. Cahen of the firm of Cahen & Willard left this mornblow in the left breast, inflicting an ugly flesh wound over the region of the heart, seven inches long by five wide. He was driven rapidly into town and Drs. Blackford and Johnston called. His wound was dressed and on Tuesday he was permitted to walk about town. 25 Years Ago November 1926 Robert Wilson, who has had considerable experience in journalistic work has chosen editor-in-chief of the annual high school book, The Blue and Gold.

Associated with him on the staff are Helen Grafton, Nellie Sackett, Marjorie Latourette, Marion Utter, Florence Backs, Henry Schacht, Granville Waters and several others. An increase in the average attendance for elementary schools in the county from 4656 in the school year of 1909-10, to 13,927 in the school year of 1925-26 is shown in figures released by R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools. Of incorporated communities, Santa Ana shows the biggest gain, showing an increase from 1269 to 3338, between the two periods. Fullerton followed with 243 to 1206, showing a gain of 946 or 17 less than Fullerton. Anaheim is third, with 448 to 1394. The California Highway Commission has adopted a resolution fixing the speed limit over the Anaheim Bay bridge at Seal Beach, Orange county, at 15 miles per hour and the weight limit of loads at four tons, including the vehicle. The resolution adopted by the commission supersedes an ordinance of the city fixing the speed limit at five miles an hour. Mr. H. Cahen of the firm of Cahen & Willard left this morning for San Francisco. Mr. Paty extracted a piece of elderwood from his foot on Friday. It had been troubling him for seven years. The Fabbri opera troup contemplate giving an entertainment in Anaheim soon. Opera in our town will be quite an innovation. A horse was stolen from the place of Mr. John Hunter on Friday night. 50 Years Ago November 1901 David Bush while out hunting Sunday afternoon with Veit Bentz, Frank Fox and the latter's young son, met with an accident which came near costing him his life. The party went to Curtis grove when it began raining. Fox saw a bunch of doves some distance off, and walked over to get a shot at them. Bush stood by the vehicle, his gun resting upon the footstep, and holding an umbrella over himself and Fox's little boy. Suddenly the gun slipped from the step, the hammer caught upon it, and the gun was discharged. The charge struck Bush a glancing WASHINGTON—Three figures in three different parts of the world last week pointed up the story of the world's hopes, its pains, its fears. Figure No. 1 was a young girl whose courage and graciousness won great sympathy, but who in a way seemed a little sad—because she represents a once-great empire which has seen its best days and now has to lean heavily on wealthy cousins and its dominion children. Figure No. 2 was an aged, valiant, prime minister, returned to office at the age of 70 to guide the limping destinies of a country whose stock market skidded to alarming lows in a virtual vote of no confidence in even his ability to cope with his nation's crisis. Figure No. 3 was an American soldier who flew home from Europe to report on his difficult, discouraging task of building up an army to defend countries so war weary they would almost prefer to be conquered than to fight. Of the three, Winston Churchill represented a brave attempt to revive private enterprise in an area slowly being engulfed in red tape and regulation; Princess Elizabeth represented the brave attempt of the next generation to cope with problems which their elders have so miserably failed to solve; and General Eisenhower represented the thesis that from armed might is derived peace. Of the three, Winston Churchill represented a brave attempt to revive private enterprise in an area slowly being engulfed in red tape and regulation; Princess Elizabeth represented the brave attempt of the next generation to cope with problems which their elders have so miserably failed to solve; and General Eisenhower represented the thesis that from armed might is derived peace. All three, however, were symbols of hope—tired, discouraged, lagging hope, it is true, but nevertheless hope. Money and Hope That hope in each case, however, was based on virtually the same foundation—money from the U.S. Eisenhower has to have more American money if he is to succeed in rearming Europe. Churchill will desperately need two billions if British finances are not to reach the vanishing point. And it was part of the princess' job to help create the goodwill necessary for American-British economic cooperation. However, money is not inexhaustible. Furthermore, it is only a temporary palliative. And while more money will be necessary to bolster British finances and European armament, it is time we worked out long-range plans that will give our European friends permanent hope—not cash—and carry hope. As a result of my two visits to Europe this year I would like to urge two deep-rooted and permanent changes for Europe. Both are purely American. They are two of the great principles that have made us great, and without them I do not think Europe can long survive. One is a United States of Europe. Two is applying the Declaration of Independence to Europe. Proposing that these be applied to Europe may sound like pious preaching, but when you don't have equality and unity, you cannot build a firm foundation of peace and free government. Unfortunately, equality, the basic guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, simply does not exist in Europe. It exists politically in France and some other countries. THE WRITER OF this colony has been called and called many things by many people but that is all in the game as far as we are concerned. We are amazed the more we study this citrus business by the difference in attitude of the Florida growers and the California growers. The average Florida grower knows so much more about the economic value of his crop than does the California grower that it is amazing once you come to notice it. The Florida grower stands up and barks out loud that he will not take less than such-and-such net-on-the-tree for his fruit. The California stands, hat in hand, and meekly hopes that the "hired help" will give him a little money to run his grove on and raise another crop next year. Men like Wilcox are actually held in awe by some of his employer growers. Actually Wilcox is not a bad fellow at all. He is, to our way of thinking, very badly misplaced. That, however, is not his fault—altogether. We believe he realizes this and also might be amenable to injecting some salesmanship into the Exchange if he could do it. WE THOUGHT that when this guy Moone was "taken on" to sell Sunkist concentrate that there would really be some sales pressure put on and that, at last, the Exchange was going to get into business. Then came the glowing dope about sales back there in New York state. We had the "blessed event" promotion here in California which was designed to sell Sunkist concentrate right here at home—where Florida has been doing a great job selling its juice and concentrate. But we realize now that all this steam was designed only to impress growers with the "greatness" of the Exchange and will not get the California grower any money. About a year ago in one of their advertisements "beamed" at and paid for by growers, the Exchange posed some questions. Here is one of them: "Does your products operation get all the value out of your fruit, or just part of it?" Now, even forgetting about the recent price cut by the Exchange, isn't that a silly question? What are you as a grower interested in? That's right, money return net on the tree to you, NOT to the "hired help" and their beautiful provident plans. SO HERE WE are in the first season after Sunkist's blessed event with a child on our hands that nobody wants. So what do our "salesmen" do? They violate the first and most important law of salesmanship. They do the very thing some smart business people said they would. They do the easy thing for them, and the hardest Proposing that these be applied to Europe may sound like pious preaching, but when you don't have equality and unity, you cannot build a firm foundation of peace and free government. Unfortunately, equality, the basic guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, simply does not exist in Europe. It exists politically in France and some other countries, but it does not exist economically. A man is born to a certain economic level, and in most countries there he usually stays. If your mother was a servant in England, the chances are you will be a servant, too. If your father worked at a certain trade in Italy, the chances are you would not be able to rise above his status—unless you migrated to the United States. Thus the great mass of the people, stuck in one groove, with little chance of improving themselves, abandon hope. That is why communism, full of wonderful though phony promises of a bright, new horizon, brings hope—plus European converts by the thousands. Meanwhile, we have sat on our hands and failed to sell the greatest creed we have—the Declaration of Independence. We have passed out billions in dollars and material things, but hardly two cents worth of spiritual, cultural or philosophical things. We have rebuilt factories, helped big business, but have failed completely to attach any of the basic principles of the Declaration of Independence regarding high profits or workmen's opportunities. United States of Europe Point No. 1, the United States of Europe, is indirectly the chief reason General Eisenhower flew back to Washington. For in trying to build up a European army, he has had to put the cart before the horse. He has been like George Washington, who tried to draft the Revolutionary army from the Thirteen Colonies. Each colony reserved the right to decide how many men it would send to fight the British, how much they would be paid and when they would be mustered out. Washington had no control over them except the appeal to patriotism. Likewise with Eisenhower. He has no more control over the number of troops France will send him than General Washington had over the size of the Pennsylvania militia. Out of Washington's experience with the Tidewater Colonies, there was gradually forged a United States of America. And out of Eisenhower's experience that for You—cute little Minnie Evanson, Ill., task of posing, 1951 Christmas got tired of perseverance so out at the phone sociated Press V LOS ANGELES 250 small retailers were given permission to increase wage ployes by as much an hour, retroactively. there may emerge States of Europe.

Like we right now. The factories, but also national pride that they develop their OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER ANOTHER ARMISTICE DAY has come and gone, scarcely noted above the whirl of ordinary Sunday driving at home and given a somewhat farcical theme by the maddening slowness of the Korean peace-talk deliberations, if deliberations they are. And, calloused indeed must be the veteran who on Armistice Day fails to hark back to his old "outfit" and re-live the bittersweet experiences of military service. And only the most blithely unrealistic or the idiot would have failed to pause Sunday and ask: "was it worth it . . . must we go through it again?" The combat veteran, we feel sure, takes his Armistice Day seriously, and so do thousands of families bereft of some loved one due to military action in past wars. The veteran who knows the hot flash of battle, who remembers the grotesque, still forms in the fox holes, the helpless flopping of the wounded, the unreality and insanity of it all, is prone to become a little bitter when he hears the fine oratory on Armistice Day and he may smile grimly when he sees pictures of dignitaries re-enacting the pagan ritual of placing a mere wreath on a tomb. But in these time-honored little gestures he sees highplaced members of modern society making attempts, however feeble, to alone for past mistakes, and his bitterness is somewhat mellowed. And then there are other people who have the profound impact of the meaning of Armistice Day brought home to them by the sudden, panicky feeling that their banking routine will be interrupted for a day or that the post office will be closed. They are like those noble citizens who are reminded that it is election day only when they go down town for a beer on Tuesday to find the tavern door closed. To many people (those untouched by war's foul breath) Armistice Day is meaningless. The end of World War II was to them the end of a good taming. Living higher than a kite after the bleak years of the depression of the '30s, with employment at its apex, with dollars coming easy, with fat war contracts making millionaires out of bums overnight, with morals loosened by the essential upheaval of domestic tranquility peculiar to all wars, the nation was enjoying a reckless binge. And the fellow who made his dough out of all this tacked his money away with scarcely a thought to the rivals of American blood that streaked foreign soil or of broken mothers who TV-RADIOLOGIC This Is First 'Home' Interview With 'Kingfish' Tim Moore By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Your reporter had the privilege and pleasure of having the first interview ever to be held in the home of Tim Moore, "Kingfish" of the current C.B.S. television series of "Amos'n Andy." Tim, who had retired from show business in 1947, accepted the role of the "Kingfish" after being approached by Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, originators of the radio series of "Amos'n Andy," which ended their two-year search for the right person to portray the character. Moore's colorful career included touring Europe in show business at 12, a star of a medicine show at 13, a jockey at 15, a boxer at 17. He subsequently returned to show business and has been an actor ever since. Tim and his wife are a very religious couple, getting up every morning with the singing of a hymn and a short prayer, followed by coffee. The entire cast is made up of church people, and as Tim said, "Pretty near all of them are of different denomination — it doesn't make no difference as long as we all get to Union Station when we're supposed to." When questioned as to how he got along with the real bosses (Gosden and Correll) of the show, Tim replied, "With Gosden—me and him got along fine after we got an understandin.'" He then went on to tell of how everyone in the cast lifted the director, Charlie Barton. "They ain't nobody in the cast that wouldn't go to the devil for that wonderful fellow." "I don't drive a car," he said, "I've had three cars, but never drove one yet. In this town, a man don't need a car like a dead man don't need a coffin," he concluded, "'cause everywhere you want to go—it's too far away." After his retirement in 1947, Tim insurged in his passion of bunting and fishing. He made a couple of appearances on Ed Sullivan's "Toast of the Town" For money, like blood, always flows freely during war. Not too long ago Hal Boyle wrote of a young veteran (a Frenchman, I believe) who has envisioned a plan to cement the some 100 million veterans of the world into an active organization for the prevention of war. This would be a tremendous accomplishment, impeded by countless obstacles, and probably will be chouted down and ridiculed as a hare-brained plan for what they call "one-worldism." The League of Nations was so attacked. The United Nations is getting the same treatment. All collective programs dedicated to the furtherance of world peace come under vicious and unremitting attack, at their very inception, from that element which has traditionally closed its mind to any and all cooperative attempts among nations for the preservation of peace. But if such an organization as the young Frenchman plans could be formed and kept free of the political dubblers who have messed up the veterans' organizations in our own country it would be a powerful deterrent to aggression and wars. The combat veteran knows as does none other the insanity, the beastliness, the futility of war and, unless battle wounds have left him shorn of his senses, he will always be the first to denounce the sabre-rattling, striped-pants diplomat or the impatient general looking for hazardous duty in a swivel chair playing with colored pins That You—It wasn't that cute little Mimi Huling, 3, of Evanston, Ill., didn't like her task of posing, publicizing the 1951 Christmas Seals.

However, he needs a lot of political help from the State Department, from the British, and from American public opinion — help which he isn't getting. For instance, he has been trying to get the French to build jet engines in their own factories, but using British blueprints. He argues that the British have about the best jet engine in the world, so there is no use having the French spend a year fussing over new plans to develop their own engine. He wants production right now. The French have the factories, but also they have the national pride that demands that they develop their own blueprints. "I don't drive a car," he said, "I've had three cars, but never drove one yet. In this town, a man don't need a car like a dead man don't need a coffin," he concluded, "'cause everywhere you want to go—it's too far away." After his retirement in 1947, Tim inundged in his passion of bunting and fishing. He made a couple of appearances on Ed Sullivan's "Toast of the Town" television show, but really had settled into a life of leisure. On his days off, Tim and his wife usually go shopping, and he catches up on different papers and books. "I don't like classics," he said, "but I love these kid's comic books—they rests my mind."
