This is the final week before Anaheimers are asked to go to the polls to record their decision as to whether or not we will make more money available to the elementary school system for operating expenses. Specifically, the voters are asked to permit an increase in the tax rate for the schools from 90 cents per $100 assessed valuation to $1.15 per $100 valuation. But, actually, the voters will determine whether or not Anaheim will have well operated schools, adequate teaching facilities, and enough teachers for the increases in pupils which the schools are registering each year. The only opposition we have noted so far comes from outside. The Elementary School board is asking the voters to approve the tax ceiling for schools of $1.15 per $100 assessed valuation so that the budget can be met from current income. Actually, $1.15 per $100 is not an excessive figure. It is a little higher than some school districts hereabouts and much lower than others. But, comparisons are misleading. It is the size of the job and the amount of income which count. The plain fact of the matter is, the school board says, that Anaheim is approaching a point where its school system must have more money for general operating expenses. And, that it has one phase of activities they might check into: In the summer of 1951 members of the King in committee, apparently making their Democrat caucus have retained their own gators to probe Dan Bentley resigned deputy chairman of Internal Revenue Service. They also threw away airtight. It involved the Guarana Finance Corp., of Los Angeles high-sounding name for the biggest gambling cates in California. Even which T-men turned up that, in 1948, Guaranty had deducted from its turn $248,000 paid to another $108,000 paid "Special." No further extension was given, but Tra agents were convinced that $108,000 was paid to them and that the $248,000 to "Special" was paid for police protection. The T-men, including Read, intelligence agent Francisco, Dan Goodykoo intelligence agent in Los Angeles and Walter Campbell, chieftain in San Francisco, Washington, recommended... But, actually, the voters will determine whether or not Anaheim will have well operated schools, adequate teaching facilities, and enough teachers for the increases in pupils which the schools are registering each year. The only opposition we have noted so far comes from outside the area which pays for the Anaheim schools. The Santa Ana Register, a newspaper which is never FOR anything and which has absolutely NO stake in Anaheim school and children, has taken it upon itself to oppose the school measure. But, to be as kindly as we can with the Register, it is our understanding that paper thinks the public school system is the bunk and that a child should be educated only in accordance with the wealth of its father. But, such talk is cheap. What the issue narrows down to is: if you want Anaheim schools to continue to be good schools, you have to pay the bills. To find out what property owners thought of the proposal, the Gazette called on some of the folks who pay a relatively high percentage of taxes in Anaheim. The property owner who probably has the highest assessed valuation in Anaheim (and who has no children in school), answered our query on "what about the need of more money for the schools" by saying: "I hope you get in there and pitch for the rate increase. We want good schools in this town, we want them to keep up with modern schools methods, we want Anaheim chilren to have the teachers and facilities which will produce well-schooled American citizens. Of course, you have to pay for it. You have to pay for anything worth while in this world. I'll vote for the increase." Our elementary schools today are using money at a rate greater than the income they now derive from the tax return. The difference in the budget has been made up from a surplus accumulated during the 1930s. Hereabouts and much lower than others. But, comparisons are misleading. It is the size of the job and the amount of income which count. The plain fact of the matter is, the school board says, that Anaheim is approaching a point where its school system must have more money for general operating expenses. And, that is the basic factor which voters must consider in arriving at a decision on whether or not a tax increase is desirable. It is true that assessed valuation has increased in the past few years—but the rate has not kept pace with the great increase in school expenditures and the big jump in enrollments. The board feels the school system must have additional revenue to operate the schools. New buildings and heavy expenditures for equipment are not included in this request for money. This money would be used to meet day-to-day expenses—it would be used to offset the alternative; recruitment of school operations or further doubling up of facilities. Well, there is the problem. And, here's how we feel about it: The citizenry elected a school board to oversee the problems (and accomplishments) of our schools. We elected the individuals now on the board because we figured they are sincere, capable people who want the schools to function properly. This paper feels we have a school board which would not recommend a tax increase unless it absolutely is justified. Certainly, the property owner and business people on the board would not recommend a hike in their own taxes unless they saw the urgent need for it. The Gazette believes the school board is functioning properly when it brings this vote to the people. The school board says we need an increase in school revenue. The Gazette has faith in the citizens on the school board to know what our schools need. We go along with the board hereabouts and much lower than others. But, comparisons are misleading.

The prayers of the righteous have at last prevailed and the roadmaster, Mr. T. H. Shelley, will commence grading Centre street on Monday next. We saw yesterday, at the Anaheim bank, a nugget of gold weighing something over four ounces. It was brought in from Sonora. The first shipment of limes from Los Nietos was made yesterday by Mr. L. L. Bequette. There were 1000 limes, and they were shipped to San Francisco. Mr. J. P. Zeyn returned last evening from a visit to San Francisco. 50 Years Ago December 1901 Senator Jones has made contracts for 4000 acres to be planted to sugar beets, and seeding operations begin early in December. This early planting will be an unusual experience to beet growers, inasmuch as the planting season formerly began in February and March. The early planting is for the purpose of giving beets the benefit of the December and January rains. Senator Jones is desirous of securing additional contracts to the extent of one or two thousand acres, seed will arrive and be distributed in a fortnight. Agent Darling has three extra gravel trains on his hands, and scarcely has time to get his meals. The Southern Pacific company is double tracking between San Pedro and Florence and will be hauling gravel through here for three months. 25 Years Ago December 1926 Coach Howard Jones Knute Rockne, whose team meet in Los Angeles, Dec., the Southern California-Dame game have met only before in their careers.

For Health, Est California Precautions WASHINGTON — Republican members of the King income tax committee, apparently not trusting their Democrat colleagues, have retained their own investigators to probe Dan Bolich, recently resigned deputy commissioner of Internal Revenue. Here is one phase of Bolich's activities they might want to check into: In the summer of 1949, top members of the Los Angeles Internal Revenue bureau came to Washington with what they thought was a sensational tax-fraud case. They also thought it was airtight. It involved the Guaranty Finance Corp., of Los Angeles, a high-sounding name for one of the biggest gambling syndicates in California. Evidence which T-men turned up showed that, in 1948, Guaranty Finance had deducted $248,000 paid to "Lopez" and another $108,000 paid to "Special." No further explanation was given, but Treasury agents were convinced that the $108,000 was paid to runners and that the $248,000 to "Lopez" was paid for police protection. The T-men, including Ralph dead, intelligence agent in San Francisco, Dan Goodykoontz, intelligence agent in Los Angeles, and Walter Campbell, chief counsel in San Francisco, came to Washington, recommended prose- RISING TO THE OCCASION STEPPED UP RED AIR STRength U.S. AIR POWER WORRIS TV-RADIOLOGIC British Critics Hail B.B.C. Reproduction, F.B.I. Series By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Last summer, Jerry Devine, producer-director of ABC's "This Is Your FBI" radio program, spent six weeks in Europe on vacation. While in London, he met Percy Hoskins, top crime reporter for the London Daily Express. Hoskins, at the time, was producing a documentary series called "I Made News" on the British Broadcasting Co. television network. It was his conviction that a documentary on the exploits of the Federal Bureau of Investigation would be a big success in England despite local competition from the famed Scotland Yard. Devine agreed and, on his return home, sent Hoskins an old "This Is Your FBI" radio script which was adapted to television for the experiment. The show, produced a short while ago, won many rave notices from the British critics. One critic, Mark Johns, of the London Daily Mall, headed his story "Television Picks a Winner" and wrote in part: "Television has found a winner in its documentary series, 'I Made News' ... Last night the Percy Hoskins production described a war-time spy hunt in America. It had more authority than 50 G-men films I have seen." George Campey, writing in the London Times, said: "If anybody had told me that last night's documentary in the I Made News' series was a film As a result of the popular reaction to the one-shot TV show, Hoskins decided to give the exploits of the FBI to the British public in steady doses—on radio. So, starting next month, the first in a series of "This Is Your FBI" will be afired on BBC. The shows will use the old scripts of Devine's which will be sent to Europe for Hoskins to produce.

They pick what they think the band-wagon, and jump on it also takes money to corral delegates. In fact, getting nominated is now big business—and the voters don't have much to about it. In an effort to bring nominations back to the people, how-ler, the Washington Merry-Go-and will conduct a presidential public-opinion poll — beginning with the Republicans. Later, there will be a Democratic poll. Here is how you can participate: 1. Send a penny post card to the candidate you favor, care Box 1952, Washington 13, D.C. (This may be the last time you can send a post card for one cent.) 2. If, for instance, you favor Warren, address the card to "Earl Warren, Box 1952, Washington 13, D.C." and on the reverse side write: "I'm for you in '52." or if you're for Senator Taft, Eisenhower, or any other GOP candidate, address the post card to him, care Box 1952, Washington 13. 3. Give your name and address. Your name will not be published, but it's important to give it. Ringers and anonymous voters are not wanted. 4. Give your present political party. This too is important, because in next year's election a lot of people may cross party lines.

OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER THE GREAT AMERICAN consuming public is, I fear, made up of a bunch of nuts. Otherwise, how could the thousands of patent medicine outfits stay in business? Just skim lightly through any Sunday paper and look at the ads hollering (?) the advantages of this or that cold remedy, rheumatism alleviator, arthritis cure, headache easifier, dietetic corrector (remember Hadacol?), constipation fixer, and such and so on, all through the night. There is no quick cure for the common "cold" and nothing will relieve it once it has set upon you, unless it be anesthesia or a quart of whisky, if there be a difference. And these are temporary measures at best: We see any number of "cold tablets" advertised, and there is a plethora of "wonder drugs" adversited to knock a cold once you get it. I have yet to hear from one single person who can prove that he was ever able to prevent or knock the common cold by tablets, before it had run its natural course. Why, the doctors themselves won't prescribe the "wonder tablets." They'll tell you to go home and get to bed. Few things can be more miserable than the common cold. But I maintain that you can't escape the thing and once you get it you can't do one solitary thing to rid yourself of it. Oh yes, you can smear your throat and chest with various creases go through the wrist craftery of inhaling numerous vapors, swallow expensive pellets whose curative properties are gauged strictly by the size of the manufacturer's advertising budget. It has been admitted time and again by the world's most endangered medical authorities (I am sorry if this begins to sound like a cigarette commercial) that no one knows anything about the little bug that causes the common cold. Modern science has cracked the atom, but it can't do a thing about the poor watery-eyed goof who stumbles around the house unable to go to work because of a simple little cold. The micro-organism which causes the ordinary cold is an unfilterable virus. That means it can't be isolated. And if scientists with microscopes magnifying things by 15,000 diameters can't isolate the common cold germ, how can medicine manufacturers sell stuff supposed to knock the pesky little things? Any reputable medic will tell the doctors themselves won't prescribe the "wonder tablets." They'll tell you to go home and get to bed. Few things can be more miserable than the common cold. But I maintain that you can't escape the thing and once you get it you can't do one solitary thing to rid yourself of it. Oh yes, you can smear your throat and chest with various greases, go through the witch- - Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor THE RECENT PRICE cut by the California Fruit Growers Exchange in Sunkist frozen concentrate from $2.11 down to $1.58 a dozen a few weeks ago merely tended to reduce the price structure on the best grades and at a time when sales of the product were reaching new all-time highs. These cuts by the California cooperative came at a time when some of the largest Florida cooperative came at a time when some of the largest Florida processors (Pasco for one) were announcing that they would hardly have enough concentrate to service their customers much less take on new ones until the new pack started about Jan. 1. Ralph Thompson, processed fruit manager of Florida Citrus Mutual had just told the super-cooperative's directors that at the present rate of sale there would not be 5 million gallons left on hand by the entire Florida industry when the new pack started about Jan. 1. For several weeks the Florida "biggles" did not reduce their prices in the face of Sunkist's drop. Mr. Fox of Minute Maid said that this drastic California Exchange price cut was withstood by the Florida companies very successfully and showed that the public is not as price conscious as some merchandisers believe. But Snow Crop went down to $1.79 and the other Florida big ones followed suit. Now Sunkist is going to raise their price to $1.79 after being down to $1.58 for some weeks. So what good did it all do? None. What harm did the Sunkist cut do? It lowered the price structure all around, in the face of a new high in sales. It hurt the California grower who pays the Sunkist overhead. ALL GROWERS will tend to suffer from this cut because the grower cannot expect a good return for his fruit if the processors cannot move the product at a level which will bring a reasonable return. That last statement is axiomatic and no amount of Exchange "baloney" and no matter how it is cut can change it. In years gone by, the Exchange downed and upped prices on products, just as they pleased, but a year ago Mr. Wilcox was "caught with his price down" when he signed that "cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid. The minute these "co-op" boys dropped the price of their growers stuff now they get caught with it—and they don't like it that way. They like to tell the growers by way of "news releases" just go to work because of a simple little cold. The micro-organism which causes the ordinary cold is an unfilterable virus. That means it can't be isolated. And if scientists with microscopes magnifying things by 15,000 diameters can't isolate the common cold germ, how can medicine manufacturers sell stuff supposed to knock the pesky little things? Any reputable medic will tell you that the profession knows more about pollo than it does about the common cold. And the common cold costs the country more annually (in loss of man-hour production) than does pollo. The common cold is with and among us and will stay among us. Just like Lincoln's tomb, it is an established institution. You could take an amalgum of corn starch, water and peppermint and provided you met the pure food laws and had a shrewd publicity agent, place it on the market as a new "cold" cure and garner a cool million in a few months. The important thing would be to hire the right advertising man. One of these times I am going to make a million dollars out here in California by selling imported Iowa creek water as a dietary supplement for humans and as a preventative for spavins in horses. But let's get back to the common cold. The sturdiest 220-pound halfback may be horizontized by a cold while a weakling may totter through an entire winter without so much as a single sniffle. I once knew a hard-bolled old nurse who had spent 30 of her 65 years in a Chicago hospital. She told me that patients in her ward screamed in the night for hypodermic injections to ease their pain. She would give them the needle, squirting tap water into their veins, and they then were quiet, for they thought they had been drugged. Right this way! Step up and get your cold tablets! I've just sibly got to get subthig for this cold. GEN. MACARTHUR is one of the most controversial figures of our time, and readers of this col- grower cannot expect a good return for his fruit if the processors cannot move the product at a level which will bring a reasonable return.

In years gone by, the Exchange downed and upped prices on products, just as they pleased, but a year ago Mr. Wilcox was "caught with his price down" when he signed that "cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid. The minute these "co-op" boys dropped the price of their growers stuff now they get caught with it—and they don't like it that way. They like to tell the growers by way of "news releases" just what they want the grower to hear—and NOTHING more. Tain't so easy any more, REMEMBER A YEAR ago when the Exchange came out with an ad to growers with this heading: "Citrus Growers—Give your juice products the $55 million head start." Look what it got them in the Greater Los Angeles area: During the months of July and August in one hundred grocery stores Sunkist sold ONLY 589 cans. We wish that was wrong. But it came from the Los Angeles times Grocery Audit. Just think, only 589 CANS sold in 100 Los Angeles stores during two months. If that is not a record for incompetence then we wish that someone would point out a better. Do you think the "hired help" can keep that one away from growers? A few resignations would help lower the overhead. Maybe the bed is too soft. Mr. Clarence Jones Dies at Home Sat. Clarence D. Jones, 57, a native born in Porter Valley, Mencino county, and a resident of the state during his entire life, died very suddenly Saturday morning in the orange grove in the rear of the family home, N.
