MILLEN RALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Publisher City Editor Advertising Manager Advertising Manager Circulation Manager School books We were sorry to note that the Anaheim High School Board of Trustees decided to ban a book from the school system—not because of its content—but because a small group of people put the heat on them. However, we won't comment on the action because it only lends fuel to the Holles and other groups who are trying to kill the school system or impose their own brand of thought control upon the students. Well drop it by saying: The school board is composed of mature, intelligent people who represent the people and know what they are doing. That is why they are on the board. They must have some leeway in making decisions. They must have public support. IN THE PUBLIC HIGH schools of California, books are selected and purchased by the local school systems without any supervision suggest a better method of selecting textbooks in the interest of good education for all our citizenship. "Of course, there will always be controversy about the content of textbooks, so long as textbooks deal with vital matters of public interest and concern. In a democracy, there will always be groups of persons who desire that their own particular ideas shall prevail over others. Textbooks in America are a product of our free enterprise system. Authors are chosen by the publishers who print the books and offer them for sale. Publishers could not stay long in business unless they selected competent authors for their books, and unless their books were, on the whole, accurate and efficient for use in instruction. It is to the interest of the publishers, therefore, to prepare and offer books that are as accurate and as unbiased as it is possible to make them. THIS COMING FRIDAY week-day were it not in antiquity and careful by persons of childish malt an unlucky number. Our childish rituals by the succious; incantations, wierd rite meaningless actions more priate to the Middle Ages thieth Century. Some persons, on Friday 13th will stay in bed all Some will lock up all the shakers. Some will spend day knocking on wood. It is peculiar the way this doo of the 13 has fastened upon us. No ship is ever lau on Friday, the 13th. They recognize the 13th floor in L They have yet to come out a 13-cylinder automobile, and won't put 13 players on a ba team, although sometimes it like the Pacific Coast Leag going to have to resort to st practice, to stay above water. And butchers have steadfast refused to put 13 frankfu in the package when you ask a dozen. It is considered tantamount placing a dire hex and blight a married couple to invite 13 sons to a wedding feast. Any having 13 offspring is consid unlucky. (The chair will, at point, entertain discussion the floor). NOBODY EVER went over agara Falls in a paper sack Friday, the 13th. Once in more carefree day put 13 dollars on an extra IN THE PUBLIC HIGH schools of California, books are selected and purchased by the local school systems without any supervision by the State Department of Education other than the approval of the courses that are offered. In the mail this morning we received a letter from Roy E. Simpson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, which had some words about school book selection and attacks on books. His views might be interesting to the readers. He said, in part I want especially to point out that in the selection of state-supplied textbooks both professional and lay bodies are used in an orderly fashion as provided by law. The selection of textbooks is not a highly assumed responsibility, but on the contrary, it receives the most careful attention of hundreds of highly competent people in all parts of the state. On this basis, we challenge our critics to IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago June 1577 Montgomery Queen's Grand Circus has arrived and performed in Los Angeles last night. Save your dimes boys, you will not have much longer to wait. And remember, that no crawling under the tent will be allowed. There has been filed in the office of the Secretary of State, articles of incorporation of the Los Angeles Free Dispensary Association, organized to furnish publishers who print the books and offer them for sale. Publishers could not stay long in business unless they selected competent authors for their books, and unless their books were, on the whole, accurate and efficient for use in instruction. It is to the interest of the publishers, therefore, to prepare and offer books that are as accurate and as unbiased as it is possible to make them. "The argument that these publishers are engaged in some deep plot to subvert the mind of the American people is exactly as silly as to make the same charge against the public press. "Both are a part and parcel of the American way of life, essential to the preservation of freedom of thought and of access to the truth. Whenever anyone attacks the American system of textbook publication, he is attacking the freedom of the press in the same way and to the same end as the various efforts which are made from time to time to suppress and control the dissemination of news through the daily papers. Those who make such attacks are always interested in imposing thought control on the American people for some purpose of their own." 50 Years Ago June 1902 Chas. S. Rogers visited with his parents during the week. In the suit of his wife for separate maintenance and support, which was tried in the Los Angeles courts some days ago, verdict was rendered for Mr. Rogers. He will now begin an action for divorce against the lady. Henry Wagner is boring two wells on his place east of town to supply water for irrigation purposes. He has purchased a 35 horse sons to a wedding feast. Any having 13 offspring is considered unlucky. (The chair will, at point, entertain discussion on the floor). NOBODY EVER went over agara Falls in a paper sack Friday, the 13th. Once in more carefree day put 13 dollars on an extremely considered nag at a later-hoss race, on Friday, the 13th and pocketed enough moola tance a 13-day toot. This is lucky? Years and years ago, someone strolled under a ladder (probably on a Tuesday, the 13th) a plummeting piece of masson walloped him on the basement warping his outlook on life. Word finally got around this man was hurt by the lace on a FRIDAY, the 13th. So too dear children, we must not wander ladders. This same man, incidentally later ran for Congress on the publican ticket. ALSO MANY years ago, upon a time someone stopped a busy intersection to admire black cat which was ambushed across the street in front of him and he was struck down behind by a beer wagon. That day to this, black cats have been considered omens of evil. And rightly, too. The hundred gallons of good beer would upset and spilled all because that black cat. The pedestrian, incidentally died. The left hind foot of a railing carried on your person is covered a harbinger of good fortune. This theory would be strong questioned, however, from a point of view of the rabbit. Yes, in some of our thought processes we are still but slightly moved from medieval times until a scant 200 years ago in New England states, we burnt old women to the stake as witches because they mumbled in the dotage. And even today, when we Los Angeles last night. Save your dimes boys, you will not have much longer to wait. And remember, that no crawling under the tent will be allowed. There has been filed in the office of the Secretary of State, articles of incorporation of the Los Angeles Free Dispensary Association, organized to furnish medicine, medical services, etc., free of charge to all sick and poor who may apply.

Bissel. From a Sacramento paper we learn that the Rev. J. M. Allis preached in the Westminster Presbyterian church at Sacramento on last Sunday. (This Mr. Allis was a former pastor of the Anaheim Presbyterian church.) Ed. The form of the fourth page of the Gazette was "pied" by a companion yesterday morning. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to his funeral services at the grave. (The unlucky companion mentioned above was a boy named Henry Kuchel, who years later became editor and publisher of the Gazette. Mr. Kuchel guilded the paper through fair weather and foul for forty-eight years until his death some years ago.) Ed. Henry Wagner is boring two wells on his place east of town to supply water for irrigation purposes. He has purchased a 35 horse power gasoline engine to operate the pump. Sydner Roso was over from his Fullerton orange plantation a day or two ago. 25 Years Ago June 1927 Richard Krebs was in town this week attending Masonic lodge and meeting old-time friends. Richard came to Anaheim in 1877, and was for a number of years one of the leading citizens of the community. He is now raising the blue ribbon oranges on his ranch at Azusa. Mrs. Harriet L. Wortman died at her home, 124 N. Olive st., Saturday at the age of 82. She had been a resident of Anaheim for 20 years, coming here from Kansas where she was born. She was a sister of Jack Warwick of the Toledo Blade, a former partner of President Harding in the newspaper business. She leaves one son, W. E. Wortman, who resided with her. Decease dwas buried in Loma Vista cemetery. Rev. B. S. Haywood conducted the services. Yes, in some of our thought processes we are still but slightly moved from medieval times until a scant 200 years ago in New England states, we burrow old women to the stake as witch because they mumbled in the dotage. And even today, when we an oldster going down the street muttering to himself we wink at say, "the old boy's slightly his rocker." The believers in the mystic aawful curse of the number 13 find its fearful implication in one case, as far as I have been able to figure out. Hand your superstitious friend $13,000 and it is to be doubted that he would try to ward it off with the protecting sign of the voodoo, OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED MEAL BY WALDO HUNTER THIS COMING FRIDAY would be just another normal week-day were it not for a lot of stupid notions spawned antiquity and carefully nurtured down through the ages by persons of childish minds who have insisted that "13" is unlucky' number. On that day there will be the usual Irish rituals by the superstitions: incantations, wierd rites and nongless actions more appropriate to the Middle Ages than to supposedly enlightened Twen- in Century. Some persons, on Friday, the 12th will stay in bed all day. Some will lock up all the salt cookers. Some will spend the day knocking on wood. It is peculiar the way this voo- of the 13 has fastened itself us. No ship is ever launched Friday, the 13th. They don't organize the 13th floor in hotels. They have yet to come out with cylinder automobile, and they put 13 players on a baseball field, although sometimes it looks like the Pacific Coast League is trying to have to resort to such a price, to stay above water. But butchers have steadfastly used to put 13 frankfurters in the package when you ask for frozen. Is considered tantamount to being a dire hex and blight on married couple to invite 13 per- to a wedding feast. Anybody beg 13 offspring is considered sky.

In more carefree days I 13 dollars on an extremely WASHINGTON—President Truman wrote 'another personal letter the other day, this one to Amon Carter, No. 1 citizen of Fort Worth, Tex. However, he didn't mall it—at least, not the original draft. He slept on it, finally tore the original draft up. But the inside fact is that when the president sounded off on tide-lands oil at the Americans for Democratic Action dinner two weeks ago, a letter from Amon Carter was the cause of it. Carter, famed for his efforts to keep the city of Fort Worth ahead of its rival Dallas, also famous for handing a 10-gallon hat to every prominent visitor, happens to be on friendly terms with President Truman. The president likes and respects him. However, just as the tidelands oil bill was passed by Congress and sent to the White House, Carter wrote the president a letter arguing that the school children of Texas would be robbed of oil royalties if the bill were vetoed. It was at this point that the president drafted a hot reply to Amon, then thought better of it, consulted with alces, and tore his letter up. Instead he made Major Film Studios Reported Softening Toward Television Major Film Studios Reported Softening Toward Television By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Calling Dr. Kildare! Calling Dr. Kildare! The ulcer ward is about to become filled with independent film producers who up until now have held the reins on the TV filming boom! A precedent-shattering contract — the first ever signed between a national advertiser and a major film studio for the production of motion pictures specifically for television — was announced by Columbia Pictures, Inc. All last week and most of this week, a large group of the major film companies have huddled in meetings for the purpose of deciding what their future would be relative to television and the production of films specifically for this medium. It is expected, that with the Columbia picture announcement, most of the other majors, who have been not out in the past, will also "stoop to conquer." The contract with Columbia calls for the immediate start of production of 39 half-hour plays, to be presented for 39 consecutive weeks commencing Thursday, Oct. 2, over 51 NBC television outlets. This new series will replace the James Melton show which has more or less been considered a "turkey" in the eyes of the sponsor and the agency handling the show. The plays will employ top-name movie stars, male and female, plus big film directors and screen writers, all of whom have seen the handwriting on the wall, and have been anxious to maintain their future in the business. The first play will be a special adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's *Knows Best* from 8:30. Sports author Unl will be the Rod and Guest over KHJ at 9:30.

The Senate elections committee had sent an investigator to Maine to check on testimony that Brewster offered $25,000 to a liquor dealer in order, to influence his opponent, Governor Payne. Brewster was furious when he learned about the investigation. He caught the first plane back to the Senate and slipped around to see the committee members. The Spanish government's hired lobbyist, Charles Patrick Clark, also got busy lobbying, trying to persuade the committee to call off the dogs. DREAM BECOMES FACT OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., (AP) — Mrs. Johnnie Carter awakened her husband before dawn and sent him to check their cafe after dreaming it was burglarized, police reported. Carter found thieves had taken $75 and 200 packages of cigarettes. THE plays will employ top-name movie stars, male and female, plus big film directors and screen writers, all of whom have seen the handwriting on the wall, and have been anxious to maintain their future in the business. The first play will be a special adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic, "Snow Image," now being written by Edward Hope, noted magazine writer, novelist, humorist and playwright. Second will be "Understudy," an original written by Jo Swerling, and now being adapted by Cyril Hume, veteran screenwriter, novelist and short story writer. It has been pointed out that the 39 plays will not be a connected series, but each will be an entity of its own. Stars will differ from play to play, as well. DOWN TV-RADIO ROW ...
