MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Still works... Some perspicacious California restaurateur ought to take a leaf from the book of Detroit restaurant man Joseph Tuczak. His slogan is "Let's kick inflation in the pants by cutting prices"—a neat trick if you can do it, and he's done it. Six months ago Tuczak was going broke. You could shoot a cannon through his place without hitting anyone. He grossed only $900 a month and his two cooks and five waitresses kept up a running canasta game. Then he got to thinking about how Henry Ford sold his Model Ts. He sharpened his pencil and figured if he could achieve a certain volume he could charge 1939 prices for his meals. Suddenly, at Tuczak's restaurant, you could buy soup for a nickel, sirloin steak for $1.15, pork chops for 55 cents, pie for 12 cents. Prices were slashed from 33 to 66 per cent. It worked, too. Now Tuczak's gross averages about $17,000 a month. Now he has four cooks and nine waitresses. They don't have time for canasta but they just got a raise. Register now...! Registration for the June 3, primary election in California will close on April 10. That fact will be repeated many times in the next two or three weeks. Hardly the registration and voting would be close to 100 per cent. But too many could-be voters have a "weather" complex—they like to talk about what's wrong with the machine manufacturer who has guided the destinies of the Republican party in Wisconsin for the past nine years, was walking on clouds until two weeks ago. But the lines on Tom's mouth do note doubt and discouragement today. Tom is the top leader of the Taft and McCarthy forces in the Badger state, and the reason for his glumness is New Hampshire, Minnesota and New Jersey. Actually Eisenhower isn't running in Wisconsin. Not only is his name not on the ticket, but a can't be written in, as in Minnesota. Nevertheless, Tom is worried. The reason is that Governor Warren of California is on the ticket, and if Warren should pose a big vote against Taft—even though Warren doesn't win—will look bad for Tom's candidate. Furthermore, the governor of California has made a quite favorable impression in the Badger state. The old La Follette Progressives are flocking to him. So are the Eisenhower Republicans. That's what especially worries the Taft backers. They know that the strategy of Ike's friends will be to put as many votes as possible behind Governor Warren. They also know that if Taft can't poll an impressive victory in a state where he has Joe McCarthy, Chairman Tom Coleman and the entire Republican manchine behind him, then the jig is about up at the Chicago convent. Register now...! Registration for the June 3, primary election in California will close on April 10. That fact will be repeated many times in the next two or three weeks. Hardly anyone will escape the information. But how many will register, and after that, how many will actually vote? The answer is, unfortunately, not nearly so many as should. It's up to the individuals eligible to vote, to decide whether they will bother to take part in the election of those who govern them and make the laws. One would think that with citizens having so many gripes about taxes, abuses of government powers and the like, that the registration and voting would be close to 100 per cent. But too many could-be voters have a "weather" complex—they like to talk about what's wrong in government but they never DO anything about it. Anyway, we repeat, you have until April 10 to register. And if you wish to vote you must register if you have reached 21 years of age since the last election, or have changed your name, or have changed your residence or did not vote in the last general election. Remember the date—April 10—and remember your responsibility as a citizen. You may register at the Anaheim City Hall. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago March, 1877 If no rain falls within 24 hours, there is no faith to be placed in signs. There are three very good indications of rain. First, the moon changes tonight; second, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the almanac places three fishes together, and third, it is near the equinoctial storms. It is an old belief of the Quakers that, "when three fishes come together, its bound to rain." But all signs fail in dry weather. An Indian known by the name of Quartis was arrested Monday night for being drunk and disorderly. He was brought before Justice Bailey yesterday and sentenced to 20 days in the chain gang. The Prescott Enterprise, A.T. 50 Years Ago March, 1902 Forty-three hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Wednesday night last. On Saturday night, March 8, 50 additional fell, bringing up the previously reported total of 7.62 to 8:59. Total last season to date, 10.49. An entertainment was given in Fullerton last Wednesday evening in the interest of the free reading room. Among those who took part were Mrs. C. C. Chapman, Mrs. A. E. Drake, Miss McCusick, Miss Minna Roper of Santa Ana and Miss Melamie Cahen of this city. Jolham Bixby of Long Beach last month started a 12-inch well near the Llewellyn school, hoping to get water sufficient to make the beet country independent of rain. At a depth of 600 feet he struck a bed of gravel which has made the voice of democracy speaking. That's what especially worried the Taft backers. They know that the strategy of Ike's friends will be to put as many votes as possible behind Governor Warren. They also know that if Talc can't poll an impressive victory in a state where he has Joe McCarthy, Chairman Tom Coleman and the entire Republican manchine behind him, then the jig is about up at the Chicago convention. Messages to Moscow Reading a batch of messages to Moscow written by the school children of the United States, you can't help being impressed at the way the youngsters of today are thinking about foreign affairs and the problems of their nation. I well remember that I was of high school age when the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was murdered at Sarajevo in 1914, thereby touching off World War I. But the youngsters of my day had little realization of what happened. Nor did they understand the events which followed. There was no interest, even in the war which eventually was to involve us and most of the world. Today, however, I have been reading over a stack of messages which American youngsters have written to be broadcast over the Voice of America to youngsters behind the Iron Curtain. Some of them were written by kids under high school age, yet they show a genuine understanding not only of what is happening abroad but of the principles for which this nation stands. Here is one from Susan Bowyer of the Charleston, W. Va., high school, which incidentally was picked by the Charleston Gazette as a runner-up in a West Virginia contest for the best messages to be broadcast over the Voice of America. Susan's message to the youth of Russia reads: "There is an empty chair in my classroom. Could you occupy it for a day perhaps out of the round of reckoning and the companionship of seeking for knowledge, you could hear the voice of democracy speaking." It would not force you to An Indian known by the name of Quartis was arrested Monday night for being drunk and disorderly. He was brought before Justice Bailey yesterday and sentenced to 20 days in the chain gang. The Prescott Enterprise, A.T., says: Mr. Cohen who lately arrived here from Anaheim, Calif., has been awarded the beef contract at Fort Whipple for the ensuing year. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 68 bales wool, 20 sks corn, 1 keg beer, 14 dressed sheep, 3 kegs wine, 1 box tobacco, 2 pipes wine, 1 bbl. brandy, 1 box butter, 2 sks. scallops. Mr. George H. Smith, the stage driver who was wounded in the encounter with the robbers the other night, is now in town under the care of Dr. James Ellis. The doctor says that the ball with which he was wounded, struck a bone and glanced off, or rebounded, as it cannot be found in the hand. Preparations are being made to build a new Presbyterian church in Westminster. The spring clip of wool is now beginning to come to the depot in large quantities. A heavy load from the sheep ranch of Mr. H. Charles at Capistrano came in yesterday. Jolham Bixby of Long Beach last month started a 12-inch well near the Llewellyn school, hoping to get water sufficient to make the beet country independent of rain. At a depth of 600 feet he struck a bed of gravel which has since been found to be 140 feet thick, it is giving a flow of water 16 inches above the top of the pipe. No cutting has been done. The contractor is now pushing down, hoping to find clay on which to rest the pipe so it can be cut. It is estimated that the present flow is 300 miners inches. Mrs. McCullom visited with relatives in Santa Ana during the week. 25 Years Ago March, 1927 Tonight at Fullerton, a special meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of the County of Orange will be held for the purpose of discussing a flood control district embodying all of Orange county within its boundary. A bill has been introduced in the legislature by Assemblyman C. D. Ball authorizing the organization of the district. While everybody at the meeting tonight will favor the project, there will most probably be a difference of opinion as to details. L. A. West of Santa Ana, one of the attorneys who drafted the measure will be present to acquaint the people with the full meaning of the provisions of the bill. There is an empty chair in my classroom. "Could you occupy it for a day perhaps out of the round reception and the companionship of seeking for knowledge, you could hear the voice of democracy speaking. It would not force you to listen. It would come as a whisper from within, becoming louder only as you sought to interpret its meaning. "It would say, I am freedom from fear. The laws are written for all to read. No new ones are made without your consent. I am freedom of speech. Think for yourself and express your own opinion, freely." "I am freedom of the press. I am freedom of religion. I am the opportunity to get ahead. I am the right to choose one's own way of life. I am hope." "You even need not listen to the Voice—but the chair is always empty in my classroom." The idea behind these messages to Moscow is to make some slight impression on youth behind the Iron Curtain who can be the future friends or the future enemies of the American people. Interviews with Russian refugees have shown that it is the youth of Russia, growing up under Soviet rule, which has been most susceptible to the Kremlin's propaganda; and these messages from American youth may help to get the truth behind the Iron Curtain. Ancient Carthage at its peak had a million people. WASHINGTON MERCY·GO-ROUND BY NEW YORK HAND AND GLOVE PROBABLE STEEL PRICE BOOST PROBABLE STEEL WAGE BOOST Hal Boyle TV-RADIOLOGIC Theater Still Greatest Medium Hal Boyle NEW YORK (F)—It was the evening of Wilbur Peeble’s annual reunion with his old college chums, a stag affair. “I hope you won’t be lonely,” he said guiltily to his wife, Trellis Mae. “I may be a little late getting home.” His wife looked at him in cold silence and held out a small bundle. “What’s this?” said Wilbur, surprised. “It’s your new drinking costume,” replied Trellis Mae. “I made it for you myself, dear.” “What in the world do I need with a drinking costume?” demanded her husband. “I got the idea from a newspaper article,” purred Trellis Mae. “It told about a millionaire sportsman who took his drinking so seriously that he dressed for it like a viking—in a horned helmet and a suit of chain mail.” “Oh, yeah, I remember,” said Wilbur. “The motto of the viking society was, ‘a viking can always drink one more.’ But —his voice grew indignant—‘what has that got to do with me?’” “Well, every time you come home from one of your college reunions you have a black eye, your clothes are mussed and torn, or your shoes are scuffed,’ said Trellis Mae. “So I invented a safety drinking uniform for you.” Her husband mutely unwrapped the package. Out came his high school football helmet, a suit of green overalls, some heavy winter overshoes, and a pair of heavy leather gloves. Across the front of the helmet was lettered a sign: “Sip in safety.” “我 not going to take along this junk,” Wilbur said flatly. TV-RADIOLOGIC Theater Still Greatest Medium Says Actor Les Tremayne By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—“There’s something about the theater you just can’t get away from,” Les Tremayne told me yesterday. “It’s real stimulating, with always a new audience and much more reaction.” Les is well remembered by radio fans for his leading role in the weekly radio dramas of “The Little Theater of Times Square,” co-starring Barbara Luddy, which he did for 10 years following Don Ameche. Because of picture work, his radio activities are kept on the light side now, with the daytime stripper, “The Woman in My House,” being his oply interest. Tremayne’s latest picture, which was independently produced and to be released by Paramount soon, is “War of the Worlds,” produced by George Pal, a fanatic on the science-fiction type movie. A little of this science-fiction has rubbed off on Les, as he now is very excited about future things to come. Says Tremayne: “If they ever get a rocket ship trip planned to the moon, and need volunteers to go—I’ll be first in line!” This, of course he said without ever thinking to consult with his wife, Alice, who’m sure would not approve of his traipsing off on interplanetary adventures. Les and his wife are amateur archeologists who enjoy the deep wilderness of Mexico when time permits, scratching for bits of ancient curiosity. “Alice and I had our very first date in a museum,” he said, tural History, in New York Les says television led cold. “I think they’ve no big a thing of it without it grow—it’s like forced me said. “It’s far too strenuous the ultimate results,” he used, “and much too in medium. It’s a great injury don’t get me wrong—but want to drop dead from it.” “After summing it all concluded. ‘I still think later is the greatest.’” DOWN TV-RADIO ROOT Joe DiMaggio’s new T-shirt aimed at American youth bring him more income in baseball salary when in April 6...

"You are going to take it!" said Trellis Mae, firmly. "And you're going to promise me you won't take a single drink without first putting it on over your regular clothes—or you're not leaving this house!" After half an hour of stirring debate, Wilbur stomped out the door—carrying the package under his arm. Trellis Mae fell asleep a few hours later with a victory smile still on her face. At 3:30 a.m. she was awakened by a pounding on her door. She opened it and saw a policeman holding a nightstick in one hand—and the sagging form of her husband in the other. Wilbur was wearing his overshoes and coveralls, and blinked owlishly at her from beneath his old football helmet. "Does this thing belong to you, ma'am?" asked the policeman, pointing to Wilbur. "Yes, I'm afraid so," sighed Trellis Mae. "Do you want me to sign for him, officer?" "No, just take him off my hands," said the cop.

To prepare (food) by boiling, roasting, baking, broiling, etc.; to make suitable for eating, by the agency of fire or heat; hence to prepare or treat (anything) by the action of heat—WEBSTER'S NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY. DOROTHY ROE, the Associated Press' women's editor, wrote a long, gushing piece last week dedicated to the proposition that all present day women are equal as cooks, the ordinary tin can being the great common denominator. Miss Roe's article, written to glorify the canned foods and frozen food industries, airily dismissed the fact that brides should learn how to cook. She brought out the fact that the bride today can set before her husband dishes fit for nobility merely by reaching down into the frozen food locker or wrenching the top off a tin container with a can opener. It is not necessary for the modern young housewife to know how to cook, she said. "If she knows how to read, she can set a nice table." The AP expert went on to list the things Miss Housewife can set before her hungry husband with no preparation other than warming them up in the oven: shrimp, lobster, choice cuts of ham, fancy meats from the far corners of the earth, exotic pastries, rare combinations which kings once considered special delicacies. Such literary eruptions set a dangerous trend of thought in young women just at the age when they lay plans to falter to the altar. The young girls get the idea that cooking, still the most important rock upon which wedlock is built, is no longer of any importance.

Ted Mack, emcee of "The Original Amateur Hour," becomes an proximately $22,000.00 above that figure. Actual figures have not as yet been reached, as some time will be needed to reconcile the changes made in the original budget before the assembly and senate pass the measure in this final week of the 1952 budget session. Largest part of increase was 10 million additional for education. This will be added to the 12 million recommended by the governor to give the state department of education a total of 22 million for assistance to school districts whose registrations have grown faster than income. The California Teachers Association lobby had requested an additional 60 million for the schools. The fact that the budget with an approximate additional 22 million in it reached the Assembly floor does not mean that it will end up on the governor's desk for signature that way, for the Senate Finance committees had yet to report. Practice of many Assembliesmen, all of whom run for re-election this year, has been to let the increases go through on the assumption that the Senate, where only half the members must be re-elected, will do the primary cutting. It remains to be seen, of course, whether this will happen during the current session, but the indications are that such a course will be followed. TAX LEGISLATION: The proposal to cut a half cent off the sales tax, reduce income, corporation and franchise taxes, and thereby save the people of the state about $109 million next year, crossed its first hurdle when the assembly voted a measure 56-20, accomplishing those aims. The lower house passed the bill in the face of opposition from Governor Earl Warren and pro-administration Assemblymen, who sought to keep rates at their present level. The administration group, however, was short three votes, as a two-thirds majority is needed to pass a bill with relation to changes in the tax structure. Now the measure is in the hands of the State Senate, where, observers such literary eruptions set a dangerous trend of thought in young women just at the age when they lay plans to falter to the altar. The young girls get the idea that cooking, still the most important rock upon which wedlock is built, is no longer of any importance. It is true that during the first wild delirium of marriage, the bridegroom's thoughts are not centered too severely on things related to the kitchen. But sooner or later, he is going to emerge from his daze and start thinking about something to eat. He is going to have to work for a living, and this will make him hungry. He will want three squares a day, and he will want them to be appetizing. He will want them cooked liked mom used to cook them. It is true that the bride can place fine meals before him out of cans, but a fellow making $85 a week cannot foot the bill for strict delicatessen fare day in and day out, week in and week out, AF Women's Editor Dorothy Roe notwithstanding. This news-hen must have got the idea from somewhere that the average American family has the income of a railroad vice president. In this modern age of assembly-line production, even down to foodstuffs, cooking has well-nigh received a death blow. Not one out of 20 modern housewives can bake bread. Oh yes, they can open a box of ready-mix, squish it up with milk or water and warm it up in the oven, but the end result tastes like cotton batting when compared to the rolls and golden bread grandma produced from a cavernous old wood-burning kitchen range. They don't know how to make dumplings, either. This is a sad commentary.

EXECUTIVE: Governor Warren continues to campaign in Wisconsin, and spent last week end in that state. He will make one more trip, and said he hopes to be there on the date of the primary, which is April 1. Meanwhile, J. A. Smith, oil company representative, continued through letters and telegrams to "needle" the governor as a result of Warren's designation of the oil man as a "slippery messenger boy." Warren, however refuses to take the needling, and after a verbal altercation with a press representative at a conference, said he has no comment to make on whatever Smith has to say. ROADS AND HIGHWAYS: The legislature is working itself up to a fine battle during the 1953 session on matters pertaining to roads and highways. A late indication of what is to come is a measure introduced by Senator Randolph Collier of Yreka, which would make truck taxes more equitable, he says. In addition to from a cavernous old wood-burning kitchen range. They don't know how to make dumplings, either. This is a sad commentary. The disappearance of the dumpling art is one of the worst things to happen to this country since the lamented demise of the nickle beer. Men, when last did you sit down to a steaming dish of fluffy dumplings and chicken wings swimming happily in genuine old fashioned chicken gravy? (Let us bare our heads and stand mute for a few moments.) And what makes it doubly worse, the women these days will take absolutely no criticism about their cooking. We had some artichoke the other night. It tasted like match book covers sautéed in old machine oil. But I said not a word. To have complained would have invited a cast-iron skillet, full-face, and it costs too much these days to get dentures welded back together. Why men, the women today are even sneaking off down to the super markets to buy frozen waffles. This is carrying an already bad think too far. We must organize now, men, before it is too late, if it isn't already. the truck bill, which involves out-of-state carriers, the bigger issue of more money for highways is bound to be one of the major matters on the 1953 legislative calendar, due to the increased demands throughout the state for more and better highways. Collier for more than two years now, has had a super highway plan, bit to date, has not pressed for its passage.
