4 Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1909 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Anaheim Gazette Consisted alternately, Monday through Friday, at 259 East Center, Anaheim, California, Phone Anaheim 2206. Entered as second-class matter at the Anaheim, California, Postoffice on June 5, 1869, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

Comes now first of January and you'll have to pay the state automobile license and registration fee for 1832. You and five million other Carooms, and it will cost more than $20 million. There are so many cars in California now that one wrinkles you. It an states when a $2 fee was levied by the state legislature on "automobile carriages." This produced about $18,030 in revenue from the 6,428 registered gas vehicles. But no one foreseaw what was to come. The number of automobiles rose steadily for a few years and then began to leap ahead madly. California, it turned out, was the happy land for the car salesman. The friendly climate permitted driving all year round. And buying a car became quite easy on the installment plan. This combination of good weather and easy ownership, plus a lot of attractive scenery to drive around and look at, quickly pushed California to the forefront in car ownership. Now the estimated 5,250,000 automobiles in this state exceeds by a half million or more the number even in New York state which still outscores us in population by three or four million. If the number of cars continues to increase there may eventually be no pedestrians. Everyone will ride—and no one will dare to walk. WASHINGTON—Here are New Year's resolutions mended for people in places: President Truman—Rethought that I will apply the George Washington to staff—namely, those gifts to public officials deposit them with the Department until after leave office. Senator McCarthy — Rethought that I will quit pinning the munist label on rural teachers who listen in on the line. John L. Lewis—Resolved my eyebrows more and the less. General Eisenhower—Rethought not to keep Senator Duff American public waiting longer. Gen. Wallace Graham — Resolved trade on the commodity ket except in dandelion sage. Gen. Harry Vaughan—Rethought to put all influence peddle the deep-freeze. Senator Kefauver—Resolved keep all rackets on the courts. Lamar Caudle — Resolved travel only by train. Senator McKellar of Texas resolved to limit my spirit to public issues and unsuspecting callers alone. Frank McKinney—Chairman the Democratic National Committee—Resolved that having given a new broom, I will The American creed... Here is a resolution written in 1917 by William Tyler Page, former clerk of the House of Representatives which all Americans might keep in mind for 1932. "I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, for the people, by the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a per- feet union, one and inseparable; established upon loose principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrifice their lives and fortunes." "I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to support it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies." Food for four... Life magazine recently ran a picture story on what a typical U.S. family of four eats in one year. The photo was taken in the warehouse of one of the big food chains, and showed the family surrounded by a huge mass of succulent products it consumes. The long list included 20 pounds of cheese, 300 pounds of beef, 690 pounds of potatoes, crates of fruits and vegetables, 131 dozen eggs, and so on and on. The total weight is two and a half tons. The cost runs about $25 a week, out of the worker's $1.96 an hour wage. In most other countries—and especially the communist and socialist countries—Life’s picture and accompanying text would seem unbelievable, a piece of deceptive and dishonest capitalist propaganda. For it is a rare individual rbroad who eats anywhere near as well as the millions of average Americans. What is true of food is true of all other consumer goods—clothes, furniture, appliances, cosmetics and everything else. These are the tangible parts of what we call the American standard of living, brought about by free men working in a free society. We see that all the way along the production and distribution line. We see it on the farms and in the factories where the raw materials are produced nail processed and made into something useful. And we see it, in concentrated form, in the retail stores of America. Mass production and mass distribution of everything from staple foods to automobiles have made our spending American economy and given us strength and abundance. A story such as Life’s is one of the best possible arguments against those who attack free enterprise, and want the government to run everything. There’s nothing much wrong with the economic system of a country in which a typical family of four eats two and a half tons of extraordinarily varied food each year. Lamar Caudle — Resolved travel only by train. Senator McKellar of Texas Resolved to limit my fight spirit to public issues and unsuspecting callers alone. Frank McKinney—Chairman the Democratic National committee—Resolved that having given a new broom, I will Congressman King of the Probe committee—Resolved subject my colleagues ingress to as much scrutiny as fluence-peddling as the people I put on the grill by my committee. Sen. Russell and Rep. W. of Georgia—Resolved not to combat bonus pay for O.Korea languish longer in Armed Services committees. Attorney General Hoe McGrath—Resolved to dust the cases that have long hanging fire in the Justice department. Crisis of 1952 Most important prediction: American people want for coming year is whether 1952 bring peace or war. My prediction is that 1952 will bring no war; neither will it bring con peace. Intermittent hostilities continue in Indo-China; peop in Iran, possibly the Egypt-Iran time-Syrian area. More important than small, isolated wars, however is a test of the American power which the Kremlin has waiting for ever since 1945. After V-E Day, Kremlinners predicted the United States would suffer a serious depression from the end of war orders, would proceed to fall apart the seams. It would not be necessary to declare war on the predicted men of MoThe American people would disorganized, so divided by ternal bitterness, so short leadership that communism wi merely pick up the pieces. This did not happen. It did IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEI. 75 Years Ago December, 1876 Mr. Carey has a flowing well on his farm at Westminster, at a depth of something over 250 feet. We continue to hear good accounts of Garden Grove district. There have lately been some valuable acquisitions made to the population, and within the past few weeks a dozen houses have been built. Mr. A. G. Cook, the gentleman whose letters to the Gazette from the Centennial Exposition attracted so much attention, will soon commence the erection of a store building. In the estimates sent to the committee on appropriations by the chief engineer of the army, $100,000 is asked for Wilmington, California. A survey of the boundary line between San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties were begun yesterday. 50 Years Ago December 1901 Messrs. Jackson and Moyer of Santa Ana and John Hartung of this city, committee of grand jury on municipalities, have been in town during the week, inspecting the city's books and accounts. They have a fine word of praise for City Clerk Merritt, whose books have been found; as usual, to be models of neatness and accuracy, yesterday they visited the municipal electric light and water works and were favorably impressed with what they saw. Eugene Adams has taken a position at Stom Bros. grocery establishment. Ham Weisel also lends a hand on Saturdays and out of school hours to assist in the holiday rush. 25 Years Ago December, 1926 Mr. and Mrs. Sandy Gardiner were honor guests at an enjoyable evening party given by Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Coons at their home on Liberty Lane. The party was in the nature of a family reunion as only relatives were present. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner have lived in Mexico for some years where Mr. Gardiner has been gaged as a mining engineer, are spending the winter in Angeles, All of the relatives present except two: John B.

Frank McKinney—Chairman of the Democratic National committee—Resolved that having been even a new broom, I will use it. LOOK WHO WE'LL BE RIDING WITH 1952 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TV-RADIOLOGIC TV-RADIOLOGIC Radio Loses Two Comedians, TV Gains 'Dave and Charlie' By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Radio loses Comedians Dave Willock and Cliff Arquette Monday, and the nation's TV audiences gain "Dave and Charlie," the story of the two town loafers which has convulsed Southern California TV viewers for the past 18 months. After years in comedy and character roles for radio—Willock working mostly with Jack Carson, and Arquette starring in 'Glamor Minor' and "Point Sublime"—they developed the characters of 'Dave and Charlie,' the two pixillated small-town guys who try to duck work in their pursuit of happiness. In their first year (1950) a local survey named them along with Sid Caesar, as the performers who "created most to television entertainment." Tviewers usually will find Dave (Willock) and Charlie (Arquette) in the kitchen of Charlie's house, down by the railroad tracks, so close in fact, that the place shakes and pictures twirl when passing trains seem as though they may come in instead of going by. Except on rare occasions, Dave and Charlie are the only people seen. The others are artfully created by the device of phone calls, sound effects and one-way out-of-the-window conversations, such as Charlie has with Orlie Gibson, who mans the signal tower outside his window. The many others are never seen either, but of reports about the doings on his home town friends, called from the columns of the mythical Mount Ida (I-dee) Loager. This unique paper, printed in only one edition and with a circulation of one now will have its widest circulation. Here are a couple of swell follows presenting a clean, humorous type of comedy that can be proudly presented by N.B.C. to any age audience, sans apology at any time. Tviewed over KNB14 (4) at 2:15 p.m. DOWN TV-RADIO ROW ... I would like to call attention to last week's "All-Star Revue" where Jimmy Durante turned out a real swell performance.

It would not be necessary to declare war on the U.S., dicted the men of Moscow. American people would be so organized, so divided by initial bitterness, so shorn of leadership that communism would likely pick up the pieces. This did not happen. It did not open largely because the United States proceeded to exert wise difficult leadership in the face of the world through the shall Plan; through the North Atlantic Pact; and through militia aid. However, diplomatic observers who have the advantage of looking at us from a distance, begin to detect some of the things that Moscow wanted in 1945—rumblings of bitterness, internal strife, lack of confidence, growing isolation, disillusionment. The year 1951 witnessed devastating debates which split the nation into bitter factions—the debate over MacArthur, the debate over an ambassador to the Vatican, the shock at income-tax scandals. Even before these wounds have healed, the nation now faces a new and always difficult debate—over who will be the next president of the United States. During the coming year names will be called and passions will flare. During 1952, also, American leadership in the rest of the world will be slowed to a snail's pace. We will be too busy with our own problems. That is why diplomatic observers are worried. That is why the Kremlin is reported watching the U.S. more intensely than ever. That is why the year 1952 may be the most crucial since Pearl Harbor. Except on rare occasions, Dave and Charlie are the only people seen.

Most New Year's resolutions usually go in one year and out the other. Copyright, 1951, by Universal Radio and TV Features Syndicate which Warren is one, plant brickbats at the other, for Taft, the third declaration publican, had some highly plentiful things to say. Warren when he visited Omaha some time ago. Architecture Procedures which govern drawing of plans for buildings are under study with the comment from top state officials that could well be shaken up, ing out there is no hurry or penditions for public structures except those imposed by legislature, or by state officials who plan the buildings. The suit is a potential outlet waste of public funds, or as some would term it, unsary dissipation of money. Particularly is this in the matter of public buildings, which the legislature said should be created for room space, and specified no auditoriums could be with funds from the $250 million bond issue. Instead building auditoriums, development of education plans for "multi-purpose" rooms which are in effect, auditorium Division of Mines Guide-Point Normally, taxpayers would accept a state division to cover itself to the activities desired for that division.

The book, according advance publicity by the district not only outlines the geographical characteristics and historic places of the area, but also voted to "places to go and - Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor THE EXCHANGE spent more of their growers' money the other day running advertisements in APPROVED newspapers (Newspapers which have nothing to say about the orange business except the propaganda "news releases" sent out by Sunkist) which sought to inform growers at how cheaply the Sunkist Exchange sold their growers' fruit. We mean by this that the Exchange did NOT seek to all how little they got for our valencias, but how little they took or doing the job they should be ashamed of, on California valencias in 1951. For voicing this opinion the Gazette has been removed from the Exchange's "approved" list of newspapers. We feel very bad about this. But it only goes to show, to prove, if you please, that the name by which we refer, at times, to the Exchange, the Kremlin, is very apt. In other words the Exchange says, in effect, "agree with me, print my propaganda, stand at attention when we say so, or, we will do what we can to cut out your advertising revenue." Where does that thinking differ from Joe Stal n's? Now the Exchange does a pretty good job of this "bossing" in the California citrus field. If a packer, not in the fold, acts up a bit they go to teach him a lesson by beating down the price of his fruit. They have done this by over-shipping a market and breaking the price to red ink for their own growers in order to kill off this recalcitrant shipper. The same thing holds true in the processing field here in California. The independent California processor depends on the Exchange for cheap fruit. If they don't get oranges from the Exchange they just don't make money. So their noses stay well sunburned. If the concern is large enough to have a plant plus their own fruit, or an outside source, they have to "play ball" because the Exchange can go out and cut the price which might put the "outside" processor out of business. Or the "outsider" must make a product that the Exchange cannot hurt by price cutting. Several plants have made products, of much higher quality than Sunkist, and have returned much more money to growers. BUT THE EXCHANGE is not going to "boss" this newspaper even one little bit. We are going to keep right on saying exactly what we think about the top management of the Exchange. We are also going to print the story of what is going on in Florida—and facts, too, taken from reliable newspapers and official Department of Agriculture publications, all of which have been sifted by competent The Sacramento Scene By HENRY C. MACARTHUR Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO—Governor Earl Warren is back on the job again, fully recuperated from a recent operation. His office announced a heavy travel schedule which includes a trip to Hawaii, leaving the mainland Jan. 5. He will address the Pacific Area Travel conference. Also, on Jan. 17, he will attend the opening luncheon of the Republican National committee meeting in San Francisco. Regarding candidacy of Harold Stassen for the Republican presidential nomination, the governor said he is "a fine American, an experienced executive and virile campaigner. His candidacy should stimulate discussion of national issues, and he will undoubtedly be an important factor in the Republican convention." Apparently one of the GOP hopefuls, of which Warren is one, plan to toss trickbats at the other, for Senator Taft, the third declared Republican, had some highly complimentary things to say about Warren when he visited California some time ago. Architecture Procedures which govern the drawing of plans for state buildings are under survey. BUT THE EXCHANGE is not going to "boss" this newspaper even one little bit. We are going to keep right on saying exactly what we think about the top management of the Exchange. We are also going to print the story of what is going on in Florida—and facts, too, taken from reliable newspapers and official Department of Agriculture publications, all of which have been sifted by competent Florida newsmen, with no axe to grind, which can be relied upon by California orange growers. Contrast to this the propaganda fed the California grower through the medium of "news releases" which are filled "truths, untruly told" and worse. The omissions, which Exchange growers are entitled to know, form a scandal to our way of thinking. Do you remember the "cheaper fruit" contract, signed by Wilcox of the Exchange, which, we believe, would never have been mentioned to California growers if this column had not exposed it. What did the average California valencia grower know about the Exchange taking 40 per cent of his fruit for "juice" this past valencia season? He knew nothing. He was told nothing except what the "hired help" in the Kremlin wanted him to hear. One will get you ten if you can answer this question: Go down to your grocery store and if they handle Sunkist frozen concentrate you will see that a six ounce can costs about 19 cents. Right beside it you will see cans of Minute Maid and a couple of other Florida brands that sell for about the same price. Now we asked a packer of Florida frozen concentrate what they paid for regular crop valencias which went into those cans now being sold in California stores and we were told that they paid Florida growers various prices BUT NOTHING LESS THAN THE MUTUAL FLOOR OF $2.35 A BOX. Now then the Sunkist growers will probably get a lot less than 50 CENTS a box for their juice valencias the same season and yet the PRODUCT SELLS IN ANAHEIM FOR PRACTICALLY THE SAME PRICE PER CAN. The Florida concentrate must be SHIPPED here, too, which costs money. Here are two identical cans of orange concentrate, one from Florida and one from California fruit and the California Exchange grower got only about one-quarter of the net money that the Flor.da grower got. We repeat: One will get you ten if you can answer that question. to travel." The first book was on Highway 49, which covered the Mother Lode country. World Trade Center San Francisco's promotional activities for a World Trade center are being financed with state moneys, it was discovered when a $20,000 revolving fund was set up to finance an around-the-world trip for Leland W.

Instead of building auditoriums, department of education plans called for "multi-purpose" rooms, which are in effect, auditoriums. Division of Mines Guide-Book Normally, taxpayers would expect a state division to confine itself to the activities designated for that division. The State Division of Mines, however, appears have gone into the travel field through the issuance of its second "guide-book," which is a treatise on the San Francisco Bayounties.

The legislature at the last session allocated $300,000 for promotion of the center, which would be located on the site of the present Ferry building. After the space is sold and the project started, financing would be through revenue bonds, and all state moneys repaid. Highway Road Blocks Highway Patrol Commissioner Clifford E. Peterson expressed himself as pleased with the results of road-blocks throughout the state during the holiday season, expressing the belief that the check made by patrolmen had some effect in cutting down a heavy accident and death toll. He said nearly 200,000 cars were checked and about four out of every 18 drivers were given either citations, or warnings for one offense or another.

He knew that in Switzerland taxi drivers were not allowed to drink while working. But this was Austria, he argued, so Swiss laws don't apply. On his way back to Zurich, he scratched the fender of another car and a blood-test, routine procedure in Switzerland, showed that his blood contained 0.1 per cent of alcohol. The Supreme Court turned down his appeal against a five-day jail sentence on the goonuds that he broke the law, not by drinking wine in Austria, but by bringing it back to Switzerland in his blood.
