Mordaunt. THE WORD — Get thee behind me, Satan.—Mark 8:33. HOMELIFE — Should a husband turn his paycheck over to his wife? Or should he be the family's manager? This is the crux of a lot of domestic arguments. The solution is one which must be solved by each family. Though most husbands are reluctant to admit it, the little woman is the boss in the house. She runs the family affairs. In recent years married women have been forced to go to work to augment the paycheck hubby brings home. A family needs two breadwinners. More and more Anaheim women have to take jobs in order that their children might be brought up in the manner to which they have been accustomed to. 50 Years Ago January 1903 Miss Bertha Oefinger and Matthew J. Walsh were married at St. Boniface church by Rev. Father Dubble. The bride wore a gown of white chiffon over white silk. Miss Sophie Backs, bridesmaid, her gown was white organdie over silk. P. Cummins was best man. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. S. Oefinger. 25 Years Ago January 1928 Mr. and Mrs. Huber Wilson of West Broadway are the happy parents of a new son and heir, weighing eight pounds and two ounces. Mother and child are doing well and Huber is the proudest man in the west country. He is passing around mighty good cigars. State Chamber Opposes Hiking Education Funds PERSONALITIES — Don Derr, Anaheim's genial recreation director, attended the San Diego Athletic Federation Meeting. Anaheim has one of the best municipal recreation setups in the Southland. Cecil Blasingame has been doing a lot of estimating in and around Anaheim lately. Beside his Edison company job, he has a spare time activity now that they've made him president of his home town Ike chapter. Mrs. Gertrude Nelson had a mighty encouraging report for the Anaheim Red Cross Chapter report. Bloodmobile collections totaled 124 pints at the Los Alamitos Naval base. Mike Gerber and Ann Allen are to be congratulated for winning the leads in this year's Anahi Junior Class Play. SIDELINES — Anaheim probably has more churches than any other city of its size in the state. Likewise, Anaheim probably has a greater proportion of churchgoers than any other city of comparable size. There are 25 churches in Anaheim and its suburbs. Anaheim is rapidly becoming a clothing center. With the Hendan Shirt Factory going into production another industry has been added to the growing roster. Julian Cole, president of the Brownstein-Louis Co., owners, said the shirt company began in 1895. The United Auto Workers, a CIO affiliate, recently opened an Anaheim office. Next the Ladies Garment Workers will be establishing an Anaheim office. QUIZZICALLY — How much was spent on Orange County harbor? Nearly $3 million. The jetty construction alone cost over $800,000, while dredging was the major item over the years. Nearly a million was spent in this operation. What is the outlook for the 1953 Valencia crop? Not good. Wesley Hein, manager for an Anaheim citrus association, told the stockholders that the 1952 crop was disappointing. Harvesting operations have already begun, but it will be several months before full-scale operations are under way. Has industrial freight hauling produced more revenue for railroads operating in Orange county? Agricultural shipments are still the primary source of the railroad's imports. State Chamber Opposes Hiking Education Funds The Board of Directors of the California State Chamber of Commerce today opposed any increases in the allocation of State funds for the support of public schools beyond the Constitutional floor of $180 per unit of average daily attendance. The Bill, which calls for $180 average daily attendance payments, rather than the current $120, was authorized under Proposition No. 2 in the last election. The measure was supported by the State Chamber because it would permit property tax reductions in some school districts. A new school apportionment bill is expected to be introduced in the Legislature next week. The recommendations were part of the report of the Chamber's Statewide Texation committee. Lloyd Dindelspiel, San Francisco chairman, of the Statewide committee and Chamber director, presented the resolutions to the Board for approval. The Chamber also opposed any further liberalization of old age assistance payments and qualifications for aid. In public assistance administration, the Chamber directors advocated the continuance of relatives' responsibility for the support of parents, and county administration and payment of aid to the permanently and totally disabled. ST. CATHERINE'S INCORPORATES SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Articles of incorporation for St. Catherine's Military School were on file today with the secretary of state. Directors are Sisters M. Verona, M. Huberta and M. Helen, all of Anaheim. Behind-the-Scenes Opposition to Gov. Warren's Taxes Develops By H. C. McArthur SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Although the bills to effectuate Gov. Earl Warren's tax increase program are just in the process of being introduced, there already is an undercurrent of opposition developing to the chief executive's proposals for a new soft and heir, weighing eight pounds and two ounces. Mother and child are doing well and Huber is the proudest man in the west country. He is passing around mighty good cigars. Friday, Feb. 20, has for the 25th annual Orlando Citrus Growers' institute locale is the Anaheim unschool auditorium where been held for a number according to Farm Advisory old E. Wahlberg.

Behind-the-Scenes Opposition to Gov. Warren's Taxes Develops terprise, and therefore no cally powerful elements we injured too much if tha ture forgot about taxes tha t used this money to m me the deficit. There is a different story ever on most of the ANAHEIMERS — Doc Lee Deming is one of Anaheim's more colorful figures in the passing parade. Although he now lives high atop a Fullerton hill, he is still interested in Anaheim youth activities. Dr. H. A. Johnston whose name is still synonymous with the clinic was the developer of one of Northern Orange county's most exclusive residential areas. No sooner had Tommy Kuchel taken the oath of a U.S. Senator than he was praised and criticized for his stands. A guy just can't please everyone. Mickey Gregg who was one of Anaheim's leading citraculturists is going to take more time with his hobbies in 1953. Charles Ahlstrom is an outstanding Anaheim whose spiritual interests and work make this the city it is. Jerry Shipkey, Anaheim's professional footballer, played a bang-up game in the pro bowl classic, but he had to play second fiddle to the "name players" who actually got the best breaks. The Mitobe family's fame as strawberry producers is far reaching. You can hardly pick up a farm paper without reading about their success in the berry business. Which reminds us, Richard Mitobe was Anahi's outstanding future farmer in the berry business a year or so ago. That was when Robert Van Dyke scored in almost every endeavor he undertook. Behind-the-Scenes Opposition to Gov. Warren's Taxes Develops By H. C. McARTHUR SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Although the bills to effectuate Gov Earl Warren's tax increase program are just in the process of being introduced, there already is an underecurrent of opposition developing to the chief executive's proposals for a 2-cent a pack tax on cigarettes, almost double taxes on liquor, 2 cents a gallon more on beer, and an increase in revenue from horse racing. Many legislators, who have no desire to be quoted until they see how things are going to line up, contend the maintenance of huge reserve funds in state government could be at least partially eliminated, and that the bugaboo of new taxes could be put off at least for another year while California draws on funds stored up for other purposes. Probably the biggest argument will come over the $75,000,000 "rainy day" fund, which the administration established as a cushion against a drop in state revenue below budget estimates which a business depression would produce. In describing the necessity for this fund, the governor said. "It was also made available for disaster relief in case of an extreme national emergency such as an atomic attack. To dissipate this fund would not only weaken the financial stability of the state but would trifle with the life of every man, woman and child in the state." Use of the rainy day fund to make up the deficit in state revenue for the next fiscal year anticipated by the governor would have the least political implications for legislators. It is not committed to any one specific enterprise, and therefore not really powerful elements were injured too much if the failure forgot about taxes and used this money to move the deficit. There is a different story ever on most of the reserve funds. For instance it is $36,853,000 reserve in the first retirement fund specialization it, established in 1944 as a funding of the accumulated funds in the teachers' retirement term. Then there is also $49,124 laid up for retirement of some bonds which comparatively is a small amount to stateirement of the $435,000,000 state bonds the people of have authorized for aid to disted school districts. The capital outlay amounts to $31,785,812, but governor says all of this needed this year to meet for new educational bushospital and correctional condition which are outlined budget. Thus, most of the money state's reserves is put away rather some educational enterand the necessity for new as the governor outlined, from the needs of education expressed by the people lastember. While Warren feels that people, having voted the increase, should now turn and pay the bill without digging any other state financing already was on the docker opinion grew after his mw presented that he will into some trouble before they are placed on his desk with ate and assembly approval, it ever get there at all!

The morning ses- Institute Set For AUHS Feb. 20 Friday, Feb. 20, has been set for the 25th annual Orange county Citrus Growers' institute. The locale is the Anaheim union high school auditorium where it has been held for a number of years, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. The all day meeting will start at 9:30 am.

Edelson, chairman of the Farm Bureau citrus department; Richard Basse, chairman of the regional citrus experiment department, and Farm Advisors Wahlberg and Gustafson. 61 Die on County Highways in 1952 SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The number of rural traffic deaths in California reached 2299 during the first eleven months of 1952, the California highway patrol reported. The toll for the same period in 1951 was 2214. Injuries also were up for the period, from 40,524 in 1951 to 44,481 last year, an increase of 76 per cent. The number of rural accidents resulting in death or injury rose from 25,628 to 27,533 or the eleven-month period. Opposition to Develops Operation, and therefore no politically powerful elements would be injured too much if the legislature forgot about taxes this year and used this money to make up the deficit. There is a different story, however on most of the other now investing in. And another Bond you invest in now starts earlier—at 3 months after you get it; but smaller holding their Bonds. Don't forget right on earning interest without a finger! Are you investing in better-pay Bonds regularly through the Pay Plan where you work? 7½ million Opposition to Bonds Develops There is a different story, however on most of the other reserve funds. For instance, there $36,853,000 reserve in the teacher's retirement fund special deposit established in 1944 as a partial ending of the accumulated deficit in the teachers' retirement system. Then there is also $49,200,000 up for retirement of school bonds, which comparatively speak is a small amount to start re-ment of the $435,000,000 in state bonds the people of the state have authorized for aid to distress-school districts. The capital outlay reserve amounts to $31,785,812, but the governor says all of this will be needed this year to meet the needs of new educational buildings, capital and correctional construction, which are outlined in the budget. Thus, most of the money in the state's reserves is put away to further some educational enterprise, and the necessity for new taxes, the governor outlined, arises from the needs of education as expressed by the people last November. While Warren feels that the apple, having voted the school increase, should now turn around and pay the bill without disturbance any other state financing that already was on the docket, the union grew after his message is presented that he will run no trouble before the bills placed on his desk with senate and assembly approval, if they get there at all! This means that a Bond you got for $18.75 can now pay you back $33.67...a $37.50 Bond can bring you $67.34...and so on. Your extra profit may amount to as much as 80% on your original investment! And there is nothing for you to do to get this extra earning power for your Bonds. Just hold on to them as you have been doing! The extended earning period applies to all Bonds—those you already own and those you're Now even better! Invest The U.S. Government does not pay for this advertising. The Treasury Department and The Advertising Council and Salvation Army Center Completes 'Busiest' Year The Salvation Army Social Service Center which serves this area has just completed the busiest year of its long history, Brig. Ranson D. Gifford, manager, reports. He said that thousands of handicapped men, including war veterans and their families, received assistance in 1952 through the Salvation Army's work therapy program. During the past year the center provided 258,000 hours of occupational therapy, 59,622 meals, 21,110 lodgings and a vast amount of direct relief. Brigadier Gifford reported. "The Salvation Army is strictly a non-profit organization," he pointed out. "All receipts from the sale of refurnished materials above operating costs are returned in the form of cash grants to the unfortunate handicapped men who daily throng the center seeking help." The social rehabilitation program, by providing for men who otherwise would be required to seek county or state aid, helps lessen the tax load on local residents, Gifford said. The center at present can handle a much greater quantity of newspapers and magazines than the Red Shields are bringing in, according to the Salvation Army leader. He urged local residents who have newspapers they wish to dispose of to telephone 4631. Daily pickups will be made. Other salvageable items needed by the center include shoes, clothing, furniture, home appliances, HILGENFELD MORTUARY Faithful. Courteous Service 120 E.
