Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.—Matt. 23:19. OBSERVATIONS — Now that school has started, the youthful press. Lampshade making is only one of the elaborate lamps made by adult members in the AUHS night school classes of Mrs. F. R. Alden of 800 Kenway, instructress. Planes and Tanks Named as Way To Win Syrian Strongman’s Heart BEIRUT (P) — Jet planes and tanks are the way to the heart of Syria's military dictator. American diplomats in this area are beginning to realize that unless that path is taken, the heart of Syrian strong man Col. Edib Shishekly will continue to be cold toward the United States. In many respects, Col. Shishekly is a godsend for the West. His coup last December overthrew a regime which sought to reject outright a Western-sponsored Middle East Command in favor of Arab country to deal with its tempts at Arab-American co-operation. Syria is the only state which has not signed Point Four agreement. An American official in Damascus recently moaned: "It seems utterly impossible to persuade Syria to agree any economic program of mutual benefit to Syria and the United States." The explanation of the paradox lies in Syria's feeling of weakness and fear of neighboring Israel. Syria's 25,000-man army made Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord—Matt. 23:19. OBSERVATIONS — Now that school has started, the youthful Anaheimers are counting the days until Thanksgiving vacation. Bill Cook may have a couple of Anaheimers to enter in the annual Southern Counties tennis tournament this fall. Incidentally, the tennis-playing bandmaster once participated in the tournament as Long Beach Poly's representative. That $315,000 Santa Ana river bridge is another feather in Anaheim's official hatband. The Chamber of Commerce and the city fathers have been working on it a long time. Anything that is done to make Orange-thorpe attractive for truck traffic is a boon to Anaheim. It'll keep the big vehicles off the main drag. A move is now afoot to make it a four-lane boulevard all the way through... Buena Park is filing signatures of owners of 180 additional parcels of property. They'll make it a city yet. MFMO—Tonight's Santa Ana Don-Mexico Poly football game will be a curtain raiser to the 1952 grid season. And that is all. Bill Cook, the Anahi grid great of another day, has a good team. PEOPLE—Esther Fender is one of the telephone exchange's key personnel. She knows the communications business from A-to-Z... Ed Goddard's father used to be quite a ball player in and around Anaheim after the turn of the century. Some of the old timers hereabouts still remember "The Kid" as he played on the old Santa Fe diamond... Speaking of baseball reminds us that Bobby Adams will soon be back from the baseball wars. He had a good year... Incidentally, Hal Gregg had a mighty good season even though his record don't show it. Gregg was a mighty important cog in Oakland's scheme of things. They practically got a ball club for him when he moved up. ANAHEIM NEEDS — A golf course. A city of industries, fine schools, parks and beautiful churches needs a golf course, so that its business executives are able to get planes and tanks are the way to the heart of Syria's military dictator. American diplomats in this area are beginning to realize that unless that path is taken, the heart of Syrian strong man Col. Edib Shishekly will continue to be cold toward the United States. In many respects, Col. Shishekly is a godsend for the West. His coup last December overthrew a regime which sought to reject outright a Western-sponsored Middle East Command in favor of a Soviet alliance. Shishekly has repudiated Syria's leftists and produced the kind of political stability which must precede cooperation with the West. A high-ranking State Department official recently named Syria as the brightest spot for Western hopes in the Arab world. On the other hand, Syria has proved just about the toughest keep the temperature down and when the drippings froze they turned into tinkling icicles. Remember? ... Remember when the Southern Pacific bypassed the center of Anaheim and when the boulevard was cut through, the right-of-way was abandoned? ... Remember when Lemon street was the north-south thorofare? All busses and traffic in general preferred Lemon to Los Angeles street... Remember when all the Los Angeles-San Diego traffic came right through Anaheim? It wasn't so very long ago that all bus traffic between San Diego and Los Angeles used to come through town... It really isn't so long since the Coast highway was cut through connecting Capistrano Beach and Long Beach. Prior to that time San Diego traffic rolled along 101, through Tustin, El Toro, San Juan Capistrano... And remember how the old boiler boiled on that Torrey Pines grade down San Diego way? LOSS—The passing of Eldon R. Deering, 67, is a distinct loss to Anaheim and its environs. He served Anaheim long and well as assistant postmaster and was actively engaged in fraternal and civic organizations until ill health made it impossible to continue. NITECAPSULE—Of all the sad words of tongue and pen the saddest are these: Little Old Harry's done it again! "Arab country to deal with in tempts at Arab-American co-opation. Syria is the only Arab state which has not signed Point Four agreement. An American can official in Damascus recent moaned: "It seems utterly impossible to persuade Syria to agree any economic program of mutual benefit to Syria and the United States." The explanation of the paradox lies in Syria's feeling of weakness and fear of neighboring Israel. Syria's 25,000-man army made wretched showing in the Palestine War. Since the Army took over Syria, the military budget has been increased but the Army still is woefully incapable of defending Syria against attack, and Col. Shishekly knows it. The only convincing display American good will possible at this moment is to permit the Syrians to buy the arms they need—specifically jet planes and tanks, they get enough of this equipment, Syrians will be able breathe more easily in the face of Israeli threat. While many Syrians continue call for a "second round" in the Palestine War, those who know Shishekly are convinced that they want modern arms primarily for defense. ANAHEIM is the locale o one of many nearing completion Bonded Homes development Palma St., just north of C home has three bedrooms, "Free Tax Ride" Discussd by Orange County League of Cities "Free Tax Ride" Discussd by Orange County League of Cities Still bent on correcting the so-called "free tax ride" of unincorporated communities receiving county government services for which the cities help to pay the executive board of Orange county League of Cities met in Santa Ana last evening and discussed the city-county tax load question as of first importance on the agenda of municipal progress. Scheduled for introduction in the state legislature session next January is a bill sponsored by the League of California Cities designed, as speakers last night noted, to "force equities" in the cost of government services furnished to the unincorporated communities. The cities have no wish to assess the urban communities anything more than "their just share" in payment for government services, it was emphasized. The proposed new bill backed by the League of Cities also will have support of county government interests, it was stated last night. The draft of the measure will be made at the annual convention of the League of California Cities in San Diego next month. For several years the League of Cities has been protesting the extent of county government services extended to built-up areas in the unincorporated territory of the various counties. County supervisors, through their state organization, now headed by Supervisor Willard Smith of Orange, have not been in agreement with the League of Cities with respect to the charge of free tax ride. The Orange County League of Cities will elect officers at the next general membership meeting Sept. 25 at Laguna Beach. Texas Flood Waters Receding; Five Dead, Hundreds Homeless BOERNE, Tex. (AP) — Streams were receding in this fabled hill country of Southwest Texas today after flooding rivers and creeks left five persons dead, two missing and hundreds homeless following drought-blocking rains. But downstream, outside the hill country, Luling on the San Marcos river was reported to be in trouble. The Department of Public Safety said an undetermined number of people were in danger in the area and dispatched amphibious equipment to the scene. 23 in 24 Downpours that measured up to 23 inches in 24 hours had sent roaring torrents down river and creek beds that had been dusty and cracked. Highway and railroad bridges were washed out, trains and buses stalled, livestock drowned, low-lying areas flooded, communications downed and residents were sent scurrying for roof tops and high ground. There was no estimate of damage from official sources but it was expected to be high. The rains were beneficial to grazing lands but too late to help drought-ridden cotton and grain. Helicopters Used Helicopters and rowboats were used to take about 100 passengers from a stalled Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad train at Solms, south of New Braunfels. No one was injured. The copters also lifted stranded residents from the roo oops of their homes. At least five towns in the South-west and South Central Texas areas—old stomping grounds of Indian-conquering, gold-hunting Francisco Coronado and his Spanish legions—had been isolated by the flood waters. Department of Public Safety officials said disrupted communications made it uncertain whether there were still towns in danger of further damage. The floods struck two areas, but the hill country apparently took the brunt of the beating. San Saba, Fredericksburg, Blanco, Boerne, Seguin, Johnson City and Marble Falls were nearly or completely isolated at times. Today evacuees were returning to their homes under skies that in some places threatened more rain.

A Christian Science The development of God and of a spiritual undergrowth into daily living is the stance of things hoped evidence of things not seen. A selection from Luke pel (9:38,39,41-43) relates a man of the company crew saying, Master, I beseech look upon my son: for he only child. And, lo, taketh him, and he scrieth out; . . . And Jesus is being said, . . . Bring thy son . . . And Jesus rebuked the clean spirit, and healed the and delivered him against father, and they were all at the mighty power of God.

(BILL) BALLMAN Ballman's Store Observes Fourth Anniversary Bill Ballman, proprietor of Ballman's Appliance and TV store and his employees are celebrating their fourth anniversary in the new building at 122 W.

On hand to greet the new "Frosts" and upper classmen Wednesday morning was Paul Demaree, principal. Monday, registration day, was confusing to many of the new students and teachers. In the afternoon the girls' league sponsored the "big and little sister party at which time the incoming "frosts" got a chance to meet other classmen and take a tour of the campus. After registration Monday, the students have once again strolled onto the campus and on Wednesday at 8 they reported to the auditorium for a general assembly. The new teachers were introduced by Mr. Demaree. The high school as a whole is still the same, except it had its face uplifted a little. Many of the rooms and main halls have been painted and replastered where cracks and chunks of cement were knocked out last year by the trampling feet of students. Credit should be given to the campus custodians and gardeners who have done such an immaculate job on the grounds and in the buildings. A new school year is upon us so "hello" to Anaheim from AUHS.

Attend Church Christian Science The development of wisdom and of a spiritual understanding of God and His creation brings harmony into daily living, recording to the Sunday Lesson-Sermon on "Substance" in all Christian sciences churches. Paul's declaration to the Hebrews (11:1) is the Golden Text: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen." A selection from Luke's Gospel (9:38, 39, 41-43) relates that "A man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, book upon my son: for he is mine only child. And, lo, a spirit keth him, and he suddenly trieth out; ... And Jesus answered said, ... Bring thy son hither. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the chil' and delivered him again to his father, and they were all amazed at the mighty power of God." In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy writes, "Our Master's first article of faith propounded by his students was healing, and proved his faith by his works." First Baptist "Effects of God's Justification in the Human Race" will be the subject of the Rev. Bob Kevorian's sermon at the 11 a.m. service Sunday in First Baptist church, corner of Citron and Broadway.
