The day after Christmas every child smells like peppermint candy. So does a lot of the furniture the children have been climbing over. Many a bright drum is already broken—thank heaven—or many a grownup cardrum would be. Many a little girl quits petting the fancy new doll she got, and goes back to pampering the old doll she has loved so long. The first needles from the fair green tree begin to fall upon the floor. The golden-brown turkey of yesterday disappears into the mystery of hash. Santa Claus has made the long and the heart knows a mellowness better than excitement. It has the feeling you get from a fireplace, a kind of belated Indian summer of the midwinter lingers on. The Christmas bills haven’t come in yet, but your wife has already forgiven you for the fool you made of yourself at the annual office Christmas party. Yes, it is a soft interval. There is gratitude for those who remembered you, and a twinge in your heart for the old friend that you yourself somehow overlooked. Never mind, he’ll understand. Old friends always do. It’s the new ones who tend to be touchy. Your own troubles of the year Though the gree promised als wife to cease end up firing néezzier, General Cho man who exposed br or many a grownup cardrum would be. Miss a little girl quits petting the fancy new doll she got, and goes back to pampering the old doll she has loved so long. The first needles from the fair green tree begin to fall upon the floor. The golden-brown turkey of yesterday disappears into the mystery of hash. Santa Claus has made the long voyage back home. His reindeer are back out of harness, and Mrs. Claus is saying, as the old Saint soaks his chilled toes in hot water, "I don't know how much longer you can keep this up. Every year you come back more worn out." "Well, every year there are more kids to take presents to," says Santa. Christmas is gone, but it leaves a glow behind it that lasts until the new year. In some ways the few days left upon the calendar are even more enjoyable than Christmas Day itself. It is a relaxed time, a period for looking behind and planning ahead. The house is still cluttered with the debris of the season, the tinsel and bright colors of yesterday, IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anselm Gassett By MRS.

He re been a communist. I think that if the one who tried the corruption was a then what would be the tried to graft and deceitment and lower tha of our reformed government walked out." Taken for a Ride Meanwhile, Madame ranged for Mow to pay care personally to the simo. "She told me this left." Mow recounted the generalship ride in a car and she used that opportunity sent the case that I her to him. She said learned from me on all these things, she to present to the same, but he always away from her. She when she had him in he could not walk away until that hour-long present the case to him. The result was that invited to breakfast with Kai-Shek. "After we sat down," WASHINGTON — The inside story can now be told of how honest Chinese general, P. T. How, fought but failed to clean up corruption inside Chiang Kai-shek's government, and how he has now been reburied for his sins by U. S. Judge James Kirk. How last documented the inside story of how honest Chinese general, P. T. How, fought but failed to clean up corruption inside Chiang Kai-shek's government, and how he has now been reburied for his sins by U. S. Judge James Kirk. The guilty finger pointed toward at Chiang's top general, J. Chou, who was caught transferring $0.02 of government funds into a lucrative private bank account. He also tried to buy aviation gas and airplane parts through minuemen, whose only interest was skimming off tax fees. Needless to say, these misused funds came indirectly from the American taxpayers who have been putting up the dough to keep Chiang's government operating. Though the generalissimo promised his wife to clean house, he ended up firing not the embezzler, General Chou, but the man who exposed him. General by the Gasette Farm Editor - Colony Quit By the Gasette Farm Editor THE MAN WHO says that you cannot get farmer to form a tight business organization to get the maximum production is away back in the "horse and buggy" is from the "hired help" group which has great concern employer. The man who talks that way has an axe to self. More likely for his job or a friend's job along the Florida Mutual makes no silly claims like the ads, grower's money, with which the Exchange is trying to growers into thinking the California valencia crop was We will go into that later and its odor reminds one from Washington—or don't you catch on? Florida Mutual heard itself described as the salvage Florida citrus industry last week by one of the growers, Dr. P. Phillips, who now is presenting a away from selling citrus by the dozen and put it pound" basis. He described Mutual as "the biggest shot in the this industry." Then he added that Mutual "was the this industry—the only hope." That is not "faint praise" from a large grower who was skeptical. When he said Florida Citrus Mutual w hope" for the great Florida citrus industry, that from a on valencia oranges has made our California Sunkist very anemic and pitiful, he gave Mutual the highest price. OF ALL THE terrible "muffs" made by the Exchange believe the turning down of a Mutual designed for Calema was the biggest. How those "all-seeing" bird brains in the upper turn down the idea of projecting our citrus crop dollars-per-box to the grower and hand go to the projection by week-to-week volume is beyond us. Raise the old cry that "it can't work" because it has IS working today in Florida. They cannot raise the "our problems are different" because a California would be set up to cure those problems just as Florida up to cure her particular problems. There is only one answer and that is the type of controls the Kremlin. They control the California industry want to keep that control no matter who it hurts. Then if there is a mass exodus from the Exchange we growers go? The other shippers are running just about On Nov. 11, Mow confronted General Chou, himself. The first thing he said was that he didn't think there was any necessity to investigate further. Mow recalls, "It would only waste time and manpower, and he said he wanted Colonei Hsian (Mow's aide) to be back in Formosa right away." "Chou," Gen. Mow continued, "said he is the commanding chief of the Chinese air force, and he has the power to order anyone under his command to do anything he wants. In fact, Hsian had exposed the gasoline deal to the Commerce department of the United States. He must have been a communist. I told (Chou) that if the one who tried to stop the corruption was a communist, then what would be the man who tried to graft and deceive the government and lower the prestige of our reformed government. I walked out." Taken for a Ride Meanwhile, Madame Chiang arranged for Mow to present his case personally to the generalissimo. "She told me that after 1 left," Mow recounts, "she asked the generalissimo for a ride in a car and she said she used that opportunity to present the case that I had told her to him. She said after she learned from me on Nov. 2 of all those things, she had tried to present to the generalissimo, but he always walked away from her. She said that when she had him in the car, he could not walk away, so she used that hour-long drive to present the case to him." The result was that Mow was invited to breakfast with Chiang Kai-Shek.

TV-RADIOLOGIC 'Holiday Spirit' Test Proves to be Successful By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Don't let anyone tell you there isn't plenty of Christmas spirit here in Hollywood—because I happen to know better. It happened on Art Link. County Comment BY GEORGE HART Nelson T. Edwards, or Orange, whose passing last week saddened friends throughout not only Oraneg county but the state, probably was identified with more Orange county progress than any other individual since the days of the founders. As banker, county official, state senator, state highway commissioner, and private citizen, he took an important part in the development of agriculture, highways, conservation, and other sectors that have shaped the growth and character of this region. His county and state frequently called up on him for some notable service, and never found him either unwilling or unable to supply the need. He was prodigal of letter's show "People Are Funny," last night, and being in on the "gag," I watched it happen. It was Art's idea to find out if people on the street felt a little more charitable around Christmas than at other times of the year, so he selected a contestant from the audience to help him with his experiment. The man was loaded down with a bass violin and a large suitcase, then told to see if he could beg or borrow enough money—a dollar and a half—to get him to an out-of-town location. He had to get there, he was to explain, because of a job with an orchestra that night—he needed the dough and well, that was the stunt. Accompanied by one of the "People Are Funny" staff, the contestant was taken to Hollywood and Vine to start his opie. Near the end of the program, he returned to report to Link on his success, or lack of it. He had his dollar and a half all right—and brought along the man who had given it to him. It was another musician! According to the benefactor's story, he knew what it was to get a playing date—and he wanted to see that the bass fiddle "player" didn't miss out on his job. To top it off, he My Quips Montclair Farm Editor At you cannot get farmers and growers organization to get the maximum value for on the "horse and buggy" days—or he up which has great contempt for his that way has an axe to grind for him or a friend's job along the line. Similarly claims like the ads, paid for with the Exchange is trying to lull California california valencia crop was well handled. And its odor reminds one of something catch on? Self described as the salvation of the week by one of the state's largest who now is presenting a plan to get lie dozen and put it on the "per the biggest shot in the arm ever given that Mutual "was the only hope for from a large grower who at one time Florida Citrus Mutual was the "only fruit industry, that from a dollar return our California Sunkist Exchange look have Mutual the highest praise possible. Buffs" made by the Exchange we still Mutual designed for California problem brains in the upper strata could affecting our citrus crop in terms of over and hand go to the antiquated volume is beyond us. They cannot not work" because it has worked and they cannot raise the old cry that because a California "Mutual" the problems just as Florida's was set problems. And that is the type of thinking which control the California industry and they matter who it hurts. Dodus from the Exchange where can the dogs from the Exchange where can the dogs are running just about to capacity. Senator, state highway commissioner, and private citizen, he took an important part in the development of agriculture, highways, conservation, and other industries that have shaped the growth and character of this region. His county and state frequently called upon him for some notable service, and never found him either unwilling or unable to supply the need. He was prodigal of his time and his unquestioned talents, whether giving public services, or private help to those who required it. At least two California governors rolled upon him for advice and support. There was a time when he probably might have had he desired, become the governor or the state himself. But he was a humble man, and his willingness to serve was directed into the lower walks of life as well as the high. A big, kindly man of lovable personality, he plainly bore affection for his home town and his home people. Their confidence and affection were returned to him in unmeasured volume. Proposed annexation of the San Juan Capistrano area to the Orange County Municipal Water district, so that Colorado river water may be supplied to the fertile lands in the south end of the county, has been tentatively discouraged. Heavy expense of running a feeder line there is the obstacle. But the plan has not been given up, it is understood. San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point and Capistrano Beach might line up with El Toro, which is already in the municipal water district and has its own expensive supply problems, and the Irvine ranch, might work out a joint line-building project, to connect with the new feeder line that will be run from Lake Mathews to the vicinity of Santiago dam.

He had his dollar and a half all right—and brought along the man who had given it to him. It was another musician! According to the benefactor's story, he knew what it was to get a playing date—and he wanted to see that the bass fiddle "player" didn't miss out on his job. To top it off, he didn't have change, so gave the contestant two one-dollar bills. As with all "People Are Funny" stunts, there was a surprise twist that the contestant didn't know about in advance. He had been instructed by Art that if someone coughed up the money he asked for, he was to open the grip and give the person a sample of the sponsor's product. When he opened the grip, it was full of dollar bills! This immediately looked as a neat little racket was in action, but the kindly musician didn't ask for his own two bucka back—he explained that he thought he was just a sucker—and was willing to let it go at that. Art's closing remark to the experiment was: "It proves that at Christmas time especially—People Are Wonderful." DOWN TV-RADIO ROW ...

Del Liggett, the former Santa Ana lumber merchant, now growing oranges, has a problem which may be common to some others. Liking his sleep, he bought a device with which he could go to bed on frosty nights and sleep comfortably, knowing that if the thermometer got down to 32 degrees, an alarm clock would ring at his bedside, telling him it was time to get up and light those heaters. Then a neighbor installed a wind machine. Just across the road from Del's house. The neighbor has a theory that if you don't let oranges get too cold they will grow larger. So he doesn't wait for 32 degrees. He starts the wind machine going at 34 degrees or higher. Therefore, the temperature around Del's house and alarm clock thermostat never gets down to 32 degrees, although the rest of his orchard, unknown to him, might show below 30 degrees. Del is trying to work out a plan for more remote control of his alarm clock. It's either that or take his alarm clock and a battery under his arm and sleep out under an orange tree, down in the orchard.
