OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-shaped Head) BY M. WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. "We will never realize the dangerous strength of the Communist movement all over the world until we devote more time and thought to the life and teachings of Karl Marx. Those foolish bigots like Senator McCarthy, who oppose a study of Communist authors and teachings, are rendering a disservice to the cause of freedom." — Quoted from H. V. Kaltenborn in the Anaheim Bulletin, issue of Saturday, Aug. 29, 1953, Page 4, Column 3, Paragraph 10. Come with me to the high school library. And bring along a box of those good old-fashioned farmers' matches. Out of the way, Demaree, we're coming through! Allan La Mont and family are back from a vacation at Lake Arrowhead, which included a full-dress forest fire. His description of billowing smoke, frantic deer and rabbits attempting to get away from the forest destroyer makes one stop to think before tossing a match or cigarette from an automobile. Monday is Labor Day, and as we take that long week-end trip in the family automobile, let us pause briefly to consider the hands of the laboring men, and women which went into its construction. We might also ponder the fact that there would be no wealth in this country, or any other but for the sweat of the laboring man. It is not a privilege for the laborer to work for another. He is a salesman, with but one product to sell. He sells his labor. Chest to Open Headquarters Next week; Advance Gift Drive Set to Begin Sept.

TO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPT. 2, 1953 No. 45 The Orange County Men Two from Fullerton, One Lagunan, All Officers, Due Home this Month Freedom became a reality for three Orange county officers last Monday when they were released from communist clutches in Korea. All had been in prisoner-of-war camps since 1951. They are expected to arrive in San Francisco about Sept. 18. The freed servicemen are Capt. Harry F. Hedlund, 32, of 132 Ellis Place, Fullerton; Lt. Herman F. School Classes To Open Sept. 14 Anaheim elementary schools are open for pre-enrollment of children, effective yesterday, and registrations will be taken between 9 a.m. and noon each day including Sept. 8. Superintendent Paul Cook requested that parents of children entering school for the first time contact their school for pre-enrollment. Children five' years old on or before Dec. 1, 1953 may register Stanfill, 32, of 118 N. Pritchard Ave., Fullerton; and Capt. Jack E. Perry of 21100 Blue Bird Canyon, Laguna Beach. Capt Hedlund, whose wife, Patricia, and their children, Larry, 8, Tommy, 7, and Chris, 3, received word of the captain's release Monday evening, went to Korea in October, 1950, following reactivation from the reserves in August of that year.

In a statement to stockholders accompanying the report, Company President W. R. McCracken revealed that sales for the 12-month period totaled $5,236,122.95, a 29 per cent increase over sales of $4,057,752.65 in the preceding fiscal year. "Again, as in the past, we were unable to obtain enough citrus fruit in California to meet our sales needs," he said. "It is for this reason that the company decided in 1948 to undertake operations in Florida. Our pack of full strength canned juices in Florida last season was greater than our California pack." Officers and directors of Ventura Processors are: William R. Ballard, president; Louis T. Kraemer, Placentia, vice president; Malcolm M. Champlin, vice president; J. A. Lagomarsino, secretary-treasurer; Walter M. Muckenthaler, Placentia; M. W. Dobrzensky; and Jack Martin Roth. Associated with Ventura Processors in the processing program and handling a substantial portion of the fruit is Glenco Citrus Products Company, of Glendora, whose president, Dell Van Liew, is a large grower of citrus. The company also operates a citrus plant at Brea. Commenting briefly on the new marketing program, William R. Ballard, president of Ventura Processors and Ventura Coastal Lemon company, pointed out that, by receiving payments for products-grade fruit currently, it is possible for the manager of a packing house who knows exactly what his products fruit is worth to plan his shipping program... National March of Dimes Provides Assistance to Orange County Chapter March of Dimes check for 900.00 has been received by Orange County Chapter of National Foundation for Injury Paralysis to help provide care for polio patients here.

East street, Anaheim, IL., has been appointed a sergeant in the corps of cadets at Pennsylvania Military Preparatory School for the 1953-54 school year. It was announced today by William L. Cottee, commander of the cadet corps. James Cowee is the son of Rev. Mrs. James Cowee. UHS Footballers Report Tomorrow Football activity begins tomorrow at Anaheim Union High School. Coach Clare Van Hooree has requested all varsity ball candidates to report to boys' gym for physical examinations at 9 a.m. Following the medical suits will be issued. Conducting the physicals will Dr. Cloyd McAllister who this replaces Dr. John A. Wood UHS team physician. Son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Venegas, 7081 Gonzales st., on day. The baby was born in large County hospital. Mr. McKittrick explained that when March of Dimes funds are raised each January, half of the net amount remains with the local chapter and half is sent to National Headquarters to finance scientific research, professional and public education and to provide emergency aid such as that just received. Although substantial progress in solving some problems is being made by scientific research, the chairman declared, the tide of polio continues to rise higher across the nation, leaving ever-increasing burdens on the chapters of the National Foundation. "We have in Orange county," said Mr. McKittrick, "a clear example of how a polio outbreak can quickly exhaust the resources of a chapter. In the 1953 March of Dimes we raised $82,000. By June 1, 1953, this was all gone and we had to appeal for emergency aid from National headquarters." "Since use of the limited supply of gamma globulin is not expected to materially reduce the number of polio cases this summer and there is no vaccine yet, we must prepare for another year of high incidence. It is quite possible that the Orange County Chapter may require even further aid from National headquarters." The chapter at present is providing funds, in whole or part, for the care of 96 patients stricken this year, in addition to 258 who contracted polio in previous years. Commenting briefly on the new marketing program, William R. Ballard, president of Ventura Processors and Ventura Coastal Lemon company, pointed out that, by receiving payments for products-grade fruit currently, it is possible for the manager of a packing house who knows exactly what his products fruit is worth to plan his shipping program so that only the fruit likely to return a higher figure than the products price will be packed and shipped in fresh form. This eliminates much of the hazard in the marketing of fresh fruit. There is no longer any need to take a chance in shipping low-grade or small-size fruit that is not selling at a profitable level. It is obvious that the new agreement between M. O. D and Ventura Processors will do much to improve market prices for fresh fruit. Products-grade Valencia oranges are bringing from $35 to $40 per ton at the packing house. Payment for this fruit is available promptly and will be included in payments made for packed fruit sales. Since there are to be no revolving fund deductions for processing facilities, the M. O. D grower knows just where he stands at the end of each season. A. L Chandler, manager of the M. O. D Field Service department, was chairman of the meeting and in his opening remarks briefly recounted developments in the industry that were pioneered by Mutual Orange Distributors. These included the formulation of direct selling methods in marketing growers' fruit; development of the mesh hag consumer package; perfection of the cardboard carton to facilitate packing and lower production costs; and experimental trials in "volume fill" for oranges.
