NELLEN ASSISTANT ADVERTISING MANAGER RALPH MOULAND CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING MANAGER DON YOUNG CIRculation Manager Advertising... If we didn't have to eat, didn't need clothes or a house to live in and never went anywhere, advertising would be useless. But life being what it is we do have to eat (and most of us enjoy it), clothes are essential (and make us look better), houses are useful (and comfortable, too), and we like to gad about (and learn about things on the other side of town and the other side of the world). Now what's all this got to do with advertising? (A leading and a loaded question). Well, chum, simply this: Advertising means more and better food, clothing, carr' houses, and so on, at lower cost to you. If there had never been any advertising we'd still be working the fields with "modern" wooden about, no airplanes, no radio or television, no automatic dishwashers—the simple life, y'know. And there wouldn't be any newspapers either, for they couldn't exist without advertising. Advertising has not only stimulated competition, lowered prices and raised quality, but it has also served to educate people to the need of certain goods and services. Through advertising—principally newspaper advertising—the late financial wizard A. P. Gianini made the once aloof and mysterious banking business as familiar and useful to the public as the corner grocery store. Next week, February 17 to 23, is Advertising Appreciation Week, and we hope that what we have told you will make you appre- IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago February 1921 An assault was made on Mr. Clift, agent of the Coast Line Stage Co. at the Planters' Hotel, last night; which came near rendering that worthy to his long home. The circumstances as near as we are able to gather them, were as follows: James P. Rogers, who has been in the employ of the company for some time past, had been indulging in drink through the day, and seeing that he was unfit to discharge his duties, Mr. Clift put another driver on the coach in his place, whereupon Rogers demanded an instant settlement of his accounts, Mr. Clift told him he would settle with him, but it would be necessary to look over the account first. Rogers wanted his money at once and began using abusive language. Mr. Clift went to him for the purpose of pacifying him when Rogers drew a pistol. Mr. Cliff closed in upon him and in the struggle that ensued received a blow upon the head cutting a gash several inches long, from which blood flowed profusely. Rogers was immediately secured by Marshal Wartenburg the people to these facts in time to prevent a disaster similar to that of the 17th. Our regular correspondent at Westminster writes that everybody was sorry to hear of the Gazette's misfortune in being burned out, and is pleased to learn that we have resumed publication after two weeks. Since last we wrote you our section has been blessed with bountiful showers. More barley will be sown than in any previous year. Large numbers of fruit trees are being set out and berries and small fruits are being extensively planted. 50 Years Ago February, 1902 E. C. Franzou and Chris Schoeder of Santa Ana were in town on Thursday on a short trip, combining business with pleasure. W. F. Botsford was down from Los Angeles on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. East are visiting friends in San Gabriel Valley. The Egyptian cotton is Lotify Mansour, which on inside information fore the Agriculture department suddenly decided to buy cotton, cornered bales and cleaned up. What cotton-bloe Senaroused over is the friend tween Egyptian broker and Clovis Walker, head Agriculture department branch. Walker vigorously defended he gave any inside informant Mansour. Nevertheless, it that the two are friends, changed presents, and Agriculture department attended a fancy dinner by Mansour at the Shore here last August. It is also interesting Walker recommended Collum, onetime partner of ex-Sen. Elia as of Oklahoma, to the tiian broker to be Mr Broker represent Washington. Thus ties between Man Walker are close. Walker, when questioning this column, admitted heceived gifts from the broker in the form of glassware and silver. However, that he had given trically illuminated pills which he makes, in ratethat his gifts were as val Mansour's. When and if the Senarous into Mansour's amazing speculation, it will wantquire about several things. One is the fact that sour had enough advance formation that Egyptian was to be bought to o Washington from Egypt to negotiate. He also had advance information to the Egyptian cotton maize. On other deals Mansour to have phenomenal luck in bidding competitors with Agriculture department, aators are curious to see in It is evident that our night-watchman although an efficient officer and faithful in the performance of his duties, cannot afford to sufficient protection. During the existence of our Vigilance committee the town was thoroughly guarded, and nothing of a serious character occurred. Every thing was so peaceful and quiet that the night patrol was abolished as unnecessary. Since that time disturbances have been of more frequent occurrence. If our night watch had been more efficient, the disastrous fire of the 17th might have been avoided. We were the first to notice the fire and raise the alarm, and at that time the whole building was ablaze. The nightwatchman was probably engaged in some other portion of the town. It is of the utmost importance that some police system should be organized at once, some ways and means provided to keep two or three men on guard every night. If a person commits a depredation the chances of capture by one man are very small. Situated as we are at the terminus of a railroad where characters of the worst kind are constantly drifting in, our lives and property are not secure without some protection and we call the attention of W. F. Botsford was down from Los Angeles on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. East are visiting friends in San Gabriel Valley. The young people of the Presbyterian church will give a social and New England dinner at the home of Mrs. Roberts, Thursday night. Everybody invited. Supper, 15 cents. Paul Kluso has purchased the Nick Hugo place on Chartres st. At the home of the bride's parents at Orange, Thursday last, Miss Minnie Adler and Edward Carner were united in marriage and on Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. Jason Carner, parents of the groom, gave a reception to the young couple at their home at Clair. Mr. Carner is an energetic young farmer and his bride is a young lady of many attractions. They will reside at Clair. Dr. G. S. Eddy entertained the Orange County Medical Society at dinner on Wednesday evening. Percy F. Rice of Tustin has patented one automatic slide spacer for typowriters. Frank Dyer went to Los Angeles on Tuesday evening to witness the Neill-Donovan glove contest. A Santa Ana real estate deal was consummated yesterday by which K. C. Martin and J. W. Pope became owners of two pieces of property consisting of the eight-acre walnut orchard of Mrs. Mary On other deals Mansour to have phenomenal luck in bidding competitors with Agriculture department, attorneys are curious to see just type of crystal ball he uses whether such crystal be anything to do with the nature Department's Walkers. Bardin, known as the Cross place and the $-acre ranch D. G. McClay, the former for $9000 and the latter for 000. 25 Years Ago February, 1927 A $12,425 estate was left late H. P. Giddings of Ackerman according to a petition in Superior court by his son Giddings, who seeks appraisal administrator. The widow Jennie Giddings, and five David, William Harrison, and Robert Giddings all lie heim. R. D. 3, the heirs. The tion was filed by attorney Rutan and Scorvel. It states the estate consists of a lot interest in 30 acres of citrus at Yorba, besides a half in farming implements and hold furnishings. P. Gildea drove up from Beach with his family yet afternoon, and looked in on time friends in this city Gildia was formerly for a year of years a resident here, for some time been residing beach. He says Anaheli grown wonderfully in recent TV-RADIOLOGIC 'Racket Squad' Actors Now In Great Demand By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — "Because we are trying to give a very realistic effect to the show," Reed Hadley told me, "actors and actresses for the television program, 'Racket Squad' are very much in demand." Reed continued, "It would spoil the whole effect to have the same cast week in and week out, acting as the crank and the victim. Because of this," he said, "only about two or three actors have ever repeated, since the show started last July." This conversation started when I went to Hal Roach studios to watch the filming of "The Matchmaker," for the very popular TV show that features Reed Hadley as Capt. Braddock of the buno detail. Reed's parents wanted him to become an engineer, but the theater bug got the best of him, and he soon was engaged in little theater work in Buffalo, N.Y. Broadway came next with the usual spear carrying job. This was followed by summer stock, and from there, directly into radio, where he originated the role of "Red Ryder" in which he starred. Although Hadley originally came from Texas, the sound effects did all of his horseback riding in the radio series; and a good thing too, for this was not one of his accomplishments. After the radio series, Columbia Pictures wanted Reed to do a "Wild Bill Hickok" serial, and with only five days notice, he started out to learn to ride a horse. A riding academy here, found Reed one of their best customers for a while, but as Hadley put it, "I didn't do a very good job of it, and started the picture with a black eye from a fall, and a very sore seat!" The offer of the lead role in the series, "Racket Squad" appealed to Reed because it gave him a chance to do something. CALLED THE constant and perpetual complainer and griper of Huntington Beach by, not only his students, but by his coaching partners and people not even connected with Huntington Beach high school is Clyde Frisholg. He's a young coach, as most coaches go and have gone, but observers get a constant delight to stand around and listen to him bellyache about what ever pops into his mind and it seems as though something is popping ceaselessly. When the Hall Sisters from near-by Real Roach put in an appearance at a weekly Offer student assembly he heard a faculty member comment as to how the Hall sisters were very good singers. What does the griping Frisholz come up with, but "Naw, they're not good. It's just the older one doing double duty. That little one is terrible." During the Anaheim Cee-Huntington game of several weeks ago when he found out that Mike Beach who had been and still is playing on the Bee team, was in the lineup against his tiny Cee team, he really exploded. First he was going to have Beach removed from the game, Haney World As Prep Shot Hollywood Stars made Haney took a firm grip yesterday and began breath, waiting to see his ace outfielder Frank does about coming in this season. Kelleher, who "only home runs last season," Stars take second spot flag chase to winner Shed yesterday that he decided to play this set. He has a very well with the Holmes and engineering Co. as chle and he isn't getting any What, really hurts He fact that he is really l or for that matter, any this season and he r Kelleher in the fold. NEW STAR Danny Montgomery sought Narbonne High yesterday signed a contract for a bonus to be in the neighborhood $15,000. Montgomery, a fourer who made the A Marine league the seasons, led the city last year by averaging... The Egyptian cotton broker is Louify Mansour, who, acting on inside information just before the Agriculture department suddenly decided to buy Erwin cotton, cornered 17,500 bales and cleaned up. What cotton-bloe Senators are aroused over is the friendship between Egyptian broker Mansour and Clovis Walker, head of the Agriculture department cotton branch. Walker vigorously denies that he gave any inside information to Mansour. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the two are friends, have exchanged presents, and that the Agriculture department official attended a fancy dinner thrown by Mansour at the Shoreham hotel here last August. It is also interesting that Walker recommended Dyke Collum, one-time specializing partner of ex-Sen. Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma, to the Egyptian broker in the Mansour's brokage representative in Washington. Thus, ties between Mansour and Walker are close. Walker, when questioned by this column, admitted he had received gifts from the Egyptian broker in the form of Egyptian glassware and silver. He claimed, however, that he had given electrically illuminated pictures, which he makes, in return, and that his gifts were as valuable as Mansour's. When and if the Senate dies into Mansour's amazing cotton speculation, it will want to inquire about several interesting things. One is the fact that Mansour had enough advance information that Egyptian cotton was to be bought to come to Washington from Egypt in time to negotiate. He also had enough advance information to corner the Egyptian cotton market. On other deals Mansour seemed to have phenomenal luck in under-adding competitors with the Agriculture department, and Senators are curious to see just what started out to learn to ride a horse. A riding academy here, found Reed one of their best customers for a while, but as Hadley put it, "I didn't do a very good job of it, and started the picture with a black eye from a fall, and a very sore seat!" The offer of the lead role in the series, "Racket Squad" appealed to Reed because it gave him a chance to do something constructive for people in the films that, from true files and cases, expose many confidence rackets. "Television filming is really a great deal like summer stock," he said, "because we turn out three new shows a week, and each has a complete new cast." He made a parting remark of note: "This type of show must have seasoned actors and actresses because of the quick shooting schedule. I therefore would not advise hopeful young amateurs to try for casting." CRITIG'S CORNER... A great deal of improving will have to be added to the Jon and Sondra Steele show on KNBH. Their last show was slow-moving, flat and lacking interest. It was poorly written, and badly put together. For a couple of night club entertainers, these kids should have a smooth line of "patter," but as it was, it appeared that they didn't know what to do next. TELE-TIPS ...

George and Oracle get very bored when they started out to learn to ride a horse. A riding academy here, found Reed one of their best customers for a while, but as Hadley put it, "I didn't do a very good job of it, and started the picture with a black eye from a fall, and a very sore seat!" During the Anaheim Cee-Huntington game of several weeks ago when he found out that Mike Beach who had been and still is playing on the Bee team, was in the lineup against his tiny Cee team, he really exploded. First he was going to have Beach removed from the game, then when that didn't agree with him nor the opposition, he stated that he would protest to the league office (what league office?) and lastly he complained to the timer, from Huntington how he was going to bring a protest to the Anaheim coaches for committing such actions. Fortunately, for his blood pressure and nerves, his team won by one point to take over first spot in the league race for the title. Bench took high point honors in the game with 19 from his center position. Another coaching "character" in the area is Fullerton's Bud Dawson who has worked several Anaheim basketball games this season. He is the Indian's backfield coach, last year's head basketball coach. He also plays pro ball as a short stop, third baseman and at times catches. He seems to think that Bill Ames is a very good basketball player, but stated that he is the type of player most officials enjoy throwing out of the game or calling numerous fouls on. He said that Ames is usually making "wise" remarks to players, coaches and officials. Anaheim Cees Defeat Sailors From Newport Virtually assuring themselves of third spot in the final league standings, the Anaheim Cee cagers powered over the fourth spot Newport Harbor Cees yesterday afternoon in the Anaheim gym. But she and the other tries will need all the world. With snow, Norwegian soldiers have for days to cover bare shoveling snow on to from its mountain side.

Giddings of Anaheim, according to a petition filed in superior court by his son David Giddings, who seeks appointment as administrator. The widow, Mrs. Jennie Giddings, and five sons, David, William, Harrison, George and Robert Giddings all of Anaheim, R. D. 3, the heirs. The petition was filed by attorneys Head, Tutan and Scorcel. It states that the estate consists of a half interest in 30 acres of citrus orchard Yorba, besides a half interest farming implements and household furnishings. P. Gildea drove up from Long Beach with his family yesterday afternoon, and looked in on one-time friends in this city. Mr. Gildia was formerly for a number years a resident here, but has for some time been residing at the beach. He says Anaheim has grown wonderfully in recent years. Pasadena over KLAC (13) at 7...

Anheim Cees Defeat Sailors From Newport Virtually assuring themselves of third spot in the final league standings, the Anheim Cee cagars powered over the fourth spot Newport Harbor Cees yesterday afternoon in the Anheim gym, 34-24. Anheim concludes their season tomorrow afternoon in the same gym at 4 p.m. against cellar-dwelling Orange, who has yet to win a loop game. Anheim's loop win-loss record is 6-3 and with a little help from Fullerton, the Colonists could even move to second, that is if the Indians lose to Newport and Santa Ana in the final games. Anheim jumped out to a first period score of 16-8 and after that it was just too much for the Sailors to try and overcome. The Colonists led at half time 20-11 and at the end of the third period 26-16. Taking high point honors for the game was conter Henry Herrera with nine while Paul Grover potted eight. Danny Salaiets didn't score, but he turned in one of his best games of the season by feeding off the ball to his team mates.

Haney Worries About His Outfielders As Prep Shortstop Signs Contract Hollywood Stars manager Fred Haney took a firm grip on his belt yesterday and began to hold his breath, waiting to see just what his ace outfielder Frank Kelleher does about coming into the fold this season. Kelleher, who "only" belted 28 home runs last season to help the Stars take second spot in the PCL flag chase to winner Seattle, stated yesterday that he hasn't yet decided to play this season or not. He has a very wonderful job with the Holmes and Narver Engineering Co. as chief expeditor and he isn't getting any younger. What really hurts Haney is the fact that he is really low on good, or for that matter, any outfielders this season and he really needs Kelleher in the fold. NEW STAR Danny Montgomery, much sought Narbonne High shortstop, yesterday signed a Hollywood contract for a bonus understood to be in the neighborhood of $15,000. Montgomery, a four-year player who made the All-Eastern Marine league the past three seasons, led the city in batting last year by averaging .506 for 30 games. His league mark was .518. The 18-year-old, who also lettered as a football passer and track hurdler, will report to La Palma park Feb. 24. Listed on the Star's roster at outfield positions now are Johnny Powers, who played for Charleston last season, Carlos Bernier, a Cuban and Johnny Lindell, the Arcadia traffic cop, who has been down in the Cuban winter league this past season. Reports from Cuba about Lindell don't sound any too encouraging. Mr. Ex-New York Yankee was shipped back to the States because he hit only .160 and his output of home runs and triples was a flat 0. It was reported that big Johnny wouldn't even bend down to pick up the ground balls. Rumor has been flying around that the Stars would be without their home park in three short years because CBS plans to spread its television center over the ball grounds CBS has an option to buy a part of the ground the park stands on within the next three years, but the Stars have a prior lease that runs until 1958. Just about ten more days and the Stars will begin arriving in Anaheim. Colonist Dees Pull Upset of Year, 31-28 Coming from behind late in the third period and going on to pull off the upset of the year in loop play Anaheim's Dee basketball team edged previously undefeated Newport Harbor's Dees yesterday in the local gym, 31-28. Newport had beaten the Anaheim Dees in the first round 30-27 and possessed one of the finest records in Newport high history, cagewise, but yesterday Anaheim's Dees threw all caution to the wind and came up with the victory of the year. The victory put the locals, with a loop win-loss record of 5-4 in third spot, the place they will probably finish the season Friday afternoon in the local gym against Orange, who is in last place. Dlek Jepson and Johnny Lin tied for high point honors on the Anaheim team with 9 while Bill French put into the hoop 8. The only other scorer for the Colonists was Joel Habener with 5.

Early rising Norwegians stood in the streets beaming as big flakes quickly blanketed the city to a depth of more than an inch and kept coming down. The snowfall dwindled to small flakes after several hours. However, the skies remained overcast and the prospects of more snow seemed pretty good. Five years of organizing and arduous months of training move into the background as competition began in the two-main bobsleds at 5 a.m. (EST) and in the women's skiing-two hours later. By nightfall the United States may well own the first gold medal of the 1952 Olympics—for the women's giant slalom. Mrs. Andrea Mead Lawrence, 19-year-old daredevil from Rutland, Vt., beat the best in the world during pre-games training meets. If her luck holds out on the ice-sheeted course at Norefjell, Andy should win this one. But she and the other 45 entries will need all the luck in the world. With snow, Norefjell is one of the toughest women's courses anywhere. And by skiing standards there's little snow. Some 800 Norwegian soldiers have labored for days to cover bare spots by shoveling snow on to the course from its mountain sides. Roots, rocks, even tree trunks, stick out through a thin coating daughter of Crown Prince Olav will open the show for her father and grandfather, 80-year-old King Haakon, who is in London for the funeral of King George VI. The Olympic Torch was halfway to Oslo last night on its 170-mile trip from Morgedal, cradle of modern skiing. The Torch is being carried by a 100-man relay team on skis. And will be carried into Bislett stadium during the opening ceremonies tomorrow. Training sessions continued today in other Olympic events. Marciano Defeats Lee Savold in TKO in Seventh SPORT—MARCIANO DEFEATS..PHILADELPHIA (P)—A fighter should have his annuities paid up before going against Rocky Marciano. Marciano, the hard punching heavyweight from Brockton, Mass., not only beats his opponents into bloody submission, but he sends them scurrying for a rocking chair and retirement. Like last night when to all intent and purposes he ended the career of the veteran Lee Savold. It is no exaggeration to say that Marciano slaughtered Savold. The 35-year-old Englewood, NJ., fighter was a blood-soaked hulk when his manager, Bill Daly, asked referee Pete Tomasso to stop the uneven match at the end of the sixth round. "The will was there but not the body," said Daly. "I'm going to advise Lee to retire from the ring tomorrow." U.S. Captures Gold Medal in Winter Olympics NOREFJELL, Norway (P)—The first gold medal of the sixth winter Olympic games went to the United States today when 19-year-old Mrs. Andrea Mead Lawrence of Rutland, Vt., won the women's giant slalom ski championship. The dare-devil New Englander, an Olympian at 15, streaked down the sleet-packed Norefjell course in two minutes, 6.8 seconds to beat out 14 competitors from 15 countries. Mrs. Lawrence fell into the arms of her 21-year-old husband, David, a member of the men's Olympic ski team, and panted for several minutes after crossing the finish line. As soon as she could catch her breath, she exclaimed, "Gee, it was great. The course was fine and I went faster than I thought." Jeanette Burr of Seattle, Wash., America's No. 2 skier who had expected to place high, had bad luck. She almost missed one of the control gates and had to back up to go through it properly. Miss Burr was timed at 2:19Z, which left her far back in the standings. If You Drive! Don't Drink will need all the luck in the world. With snow, Norefjell is one of the toughest women's courses anywhere. And by skiing standards there's little snow. Some 800 Norwegian soldiers have labored for days to cover bare spots by shoveling snow on to the course from its mountain sides. Roots, rocks, even tree trunks, stick out through a thin coating of ice on the run, which drops a foot in every three. The drop over the 1500-meter course is more than the height of the Empire State building in New York. The two-man bobsledders go down their 1500-meter course twice today and the same number of times tomorrow. The best total time for the four runs wins the event. Germany's Anderl Ostler and Lorenz Nicberl, current world champions, own the best clocks for the brand new Frognersetern bob run and are heavily favored to give Germany its first post-war Olympic victory. The United States and Switzerland are favored to battle it out for second place. The early morning snowfall made the American bobsledders happy. They figured the snow would slow the course down just enough to give them a chance against the German and Swiss crack combinations. Only 82 of the 1187 athletes from 30 nations entered in today's events. This huge winter sports festival will be opened formally tomorrow with the traditional pomp and ceremony in the 30,000 seat Bistett stadium in Oslo. Princess Ragnhild, 21-year-old Davey, 2. Anaheim—Weaver, 2; Loustau, 2; Wata, 4. It is no exaggeration to say that Marciano slaughtered Savold. The 35-year-old Englewood, N.J., fighter was a blood-soaked hulk when his manager, Bill Daly, asked referee Pete Tomasso to stop the uneven match at the end of the sixth round. "The will was there but not the body," said Daly. "I'm going to advise Lee to retire from the ring tomorrow." John (Ox) Dagrosa, Pennsylvania state athletic commissioner, said he was going to suspend Savold indefinitely and ask him to retire. Sound familiar? It should. Almost the same sequence of events followed Marciano's eight round knockout of Joe Louis four months ago. After the once proud Brown Bomber was draped over the ropes, he too was urged to retire by both loyal followers and some boxing commissions. Savold never had a chance. The unbeaten Marciano charged across the ring from the first bell, smashed two tremendous left hooks into Savold's face and then unmercifully cut down his bigger opponent. Marciano weighed 186½ and Savold 200 for the televised scheduled 10-rounder. The announced attendance was 9243 and the gate a disappointing $61,386. The youngest hurler on the Brooklyn Dodgers roster is Billy Loes, 22-year-old right-hander from Long Island City, N.Y. Scottish Police, the famous pacing stallion who established two world's records, is now in the stud ranks at Castleton Farm in Lexington, Ky. Trinity College, with a student body of less than 100 at the time, beat Yale in basketball by a score of 24-22 back in 1896.
