OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER The story of Brent Bradberry, reliant and resilient 18-year-old Lynwood Boy Scout who roamed around in the High Sierras for seven days after becoming lost while camping, furnishes a resounding argument for the cause of the Boy Scout movement, if there is need of any. His predicament reminds your correspondent of the hapless plight which befell two Gazette printers over the weekend, lost on the Lake Arrowhead golf course. They were guided back to civilization only through the good graces of Alan LaMont, their host on the junket, who had presence of mind to send up flares at the seventh hole after sunset, attracting rescuers. This furnishes a resounding argument against the golf movement, and there are many. Aside from the perils of the golf course, the Gazettemen were royally entertained at Al's pleasant mountain retreat and drank deeply of the clear, cool and sweet mountain air. MOUNTAIN AIR. After four trips around the course (a rugged up-and-down dog-legged nine-holer) the printers were hardly in tip-top shape to return to duty and help get The Gazette out Monday, so if your paper was a bit late Monday evening, you can lay the blame on LaMont. Aside from this light-hearted attempt to sabotage Anaheim's leading newspaper, however, Al is one of the city's most ardent boosters. The Retail Division of the Chamber of Commerce has appointed him chairman of its "gim-mick committee," of which you dium of information of which any city would be proud. And the funny part of the whole thing is, it doesn't cost a cent. You can pick one up from any leading merchant or get one at Al's print shop. If ever I were faced with the choice of selecting a publication to send to an out-of-state friend to tell him what goes on around Anaheim, I would select "This Month In Anaheim." But wait! What am I saying? I would send him "This Month In Anaheim" only if I couldn't lay hands on a current copy of the "Anaheim Gazette." By the way, incidentally, and in case you are interested, 10-inch television sets are advertised by a local appliance dealer on today's Classified Page. Think of it: Hop-along Cassidy for only $25!

BALMORAL, Scotland (F)—Princess Margaret is 22 today—and like many another British little sister, she's spending her birthday quietly with the family. The petite princess, one of the gayest of London's smart set until the death of her father, King George VI, earlier this year, donned tweeds and sensible low-heel-cafe of Riviera for $1.25 pence. 1,000 MORE people for dinner tonight? 1 YOUR GAS COMPANY HAS PREPARED FOR THEM... Your Gas Company is constantly increasing the capacity of its system to cook the dinners for the 1000 or more new people we start serving each day, as well as to heat their water, heat their homes and perform many other services. We have had to meet this challenge ever since the war. It's our job...a job we like...but a job that has its financial growing pains. 2 WE'RE STEADILY EXPANDING ALL OUR FACILITIES... Securing the additional gas to take care of the needs of more than 1000 new people each working day is just part of our obligation. In 1951 alone, we had to expand our facilities to serve over 103,000 new dwellings. Extending our distribution system requires many things, from augmented gas supplies to expanded pipeline systems and greater manpower. The cost of this expansion per customer is more than double what it was before the war. SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY Your household bargain McClain’s Proposition 11 Would Increase State Tax, Expert Says Urging the defeat of Proposition 11 in November, Lloyd Dinkelspiel, chairman of the California State Chamber of Commerce's statewide taxation committee, today said the new aged aid program would increase the State's tax burden by over $100,000,000 annually. “This new old age assistance measure goes far beyond the common acceptance of the definition of 'aid programs' now in operation in this State,” Dinkelspiel said. “Its spiraling cost will heap additional burdens on the taxpayer and public money will be spent on others than those who are strictly needy.” Most recipients of aged aid in California now receive $75 per month. Only two states—Colorado and Massachusetts—now this State in average amounts to the aged. Pointed out that the recently granted needy Federal increase in be “With the five dollars California's eligible aid receive a maximum of one month. Cost of living as provided in Proposition may under legal interim raise monthly payments to month, or $184 per married couple. “In addition to a cost adjustment, the program establishes added health and provides for buries... Taken collectively, gram offers more in purchase than some taxpayers vide for themselves and allies. “Proposition 11 is not only generous in its benefit category of aid, but the relatives' responsibility led in the act, would decrease the number of taxes. “Taxpayers do not avoid the responsibility of ing those who cannot themselves, but in these times we should keep our assistance laws and theards more closely in line with rest of the nation,” I added. Sunkist Acreage Increase Breaks Previous Record A record gain in the membership acreage of Sunkist Growers was announced today by F. B. Browning, in charge of the Growers Service Division of the citrus farmers' cooperative. During the membership year of 1951-52, there was a net gain of 10,087 acres which exceeded the previous records established in 1947-1948 and 1941-1942. The major increases reported were the result of the affiliations of established packing house associations. ND CHAMP—Don Drivier, Fullerton Future Farmer, A. J. Schutte of Anaheim, member of the board of age county fair, on the finer points of raising top beef. Don illustrates his points with his own champion steer, which brought top price at the Orange County Fair livestock auction. The steer, being 903 pounds, was purchased by the Turf Club of Riviera for $1.25 per pound. YORK (UP) — Mortgage in Austria can be had from institutions only for reproperties, reports John n, president of Previews, national real estate clearing on returning from a tour pean countries. Interest on these loans is 12 per cent," Tysen says. "Many mortgages call for the repayment of principal in commodities rather than currency. The reason for this is the lack of confidence in the future of the currency. Lenders want to be as sure as possible that they retain the purchasing power of the funds they invest." A record gain in the membership acreage of Sunkist Growers was announced today by F. B. Browning, in charge of the Growers Service Division of the citrus farmers' cooperative. During the membership year of 1951-52, there was a net gain of 10,087 acres which exceeded the previous records established in 1947-1948 and 1941-1942. The major increases reported were the result of the affiliations of established packing house associations. A total of five associations, including Krinard Packing company in Riverside, Borden Fruit company in Anaheim, and Randolph Marketing company in Porterville, which had previously marketed through other channels, joined Sunkist during the year. Eat California fruit for health! 3 WE'RE KEEPING GAS YOUR HOUSEHOLD BARGAIN Growing with Southern California wouldn't present any problems for us if the price each customer paid for gas was in proportion to our costs. But the fact is—while other costs have soared, the price you pay for gas is about the same now as in 1938. This is why we have had to seek approval of higher rates. Yet with any increase now or later, gas will have increased less in cost than almost any other item in your budget. Gas is truly your household bargain. bargain is GAS Section 11 Would Risk, Expert Says and Massachusetts—now surpass this State in average monthly payments to the aged. Dinkelspiel pointed out that the Legislature recently granted needy aged a $5 Federal increase in benefits. "With the five dollar increase, California's eligible age would receive a maximum of $80 per month. Cost of living adjustments as provided in Proposition No. 11, may under legal interpretation, raise monthly payments to $92 per month, or $184 per month for a married couple. "In addition to a cost of living adjustment, the proposal also establishes added health benefits and provides for burial expenses... Taken collectively the program offers more in public assistance than some taxpayers can provide for themselves and their families." "Proposition 11 is not only overly generous in its benefits to this category of aid, but the repeal of relatives' responsibility as provided in the act, would greatly increase the number of eligibles." "Taxpayers do not want to avoid the responsibility of supporting those who cannot support themselves, but in these critical times we should keep our public assistance laws and their standards more closely in line with the rest of the nation," Dinkelspiel added. Sparkman Needles Republicans for Depression Years BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AF) — Ahead of schedule in his vice presidential campaign, Sen. John Sparkman headed today for this humming steel center primed for another economic blast at the Republicans. He set the pace yesterday with a dramatic homecoming speech at Hartsville, Ala., his birthplace. It was his first political address since the Democratic convention, and it officially got his campaign under way even though he had said that he wouldn't open up until later. He confined his kickoff speech to a comparison of economic conditions in the United States now and before the Democrats came to power 20 years ago. Recalling his own humble background, the vice presidential candidate turned back to the days when the entire nation was in a depression. "I remember those days, year after year, when farmers, merchants, businessmen, bankers went broke," he continued, "when people everywhere lost their homes, their businesses, their savings." But a "daring program" under 20 years of Democratic administration has brought unheard-of prosperity to the nation instead, the senator declared, "and I know what it has meant to the people."
