Chathom, Agent UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD The FARMERS CORNER by Allen E. Mather Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Governor Knight's first major appointment may very well have set a standard his administration will find difficulty maintaining For, in John Peirce, California's new Director of Finance, the Governor has picked a past master of his trade. A native Californian now in his early fifties, Peirce has been fascinated by mathematics since he was a child. Facts are the major interest in his life. As a result he is recognized as one of the Nation's outstanding economists. Extension, Phones Available Again, Phone Co. Reveals For the first time since World War II, extension telephones are available in quantity to Anaheim exchange subscribers, Manager H. I. Perry of Pacific Telephone announced this week. He said it is again possible to offer extensions as a result of expanded manufacturing by the company's suppliers. Defense requirements and the tremendous postwar growth caused a shortage of instruments for telephone extensions that the company is just now beginning to overcome. Perry pointed out that some That the Governor plucked him away from the oil industry only proves Peirce is as efficient as an IBM machine. There was a day when he resembled one but that day has passed for as he neared the top of his profession he metowed—a bit. Catching his ready smile today is like being greeted by a happy owl, for the big man wears the tools of his trade—glasses. The politics match the tilt of his hat: There isn't any. He is most self-effacing and prefers to be left alone. He once told a friend he was certain if placed on a rostrum before his former teachers at the University of California none would remember him. The same applies, one presumes, to those who taught him at Harvard. Lawmaker While his name has never appeared on a bill, there are those who will tell you he has written more California law than any other person.

Turn Indicators Legal Signals, DMV Reveals California motorists may give the turn and stop warnings required by the State vehicle laws either by means of signal lights or devices, or by arm and hand signals. They are not required to give both types of warning. This statement was issued today by the Department of Motor Vehicles in response to a considerable number of queries from motorsists. The Motor Vehicle department also reported that it is receiving inquiries about the 1953 amendment in the law requiring display of vehicle registration certificates. The statute formerly was worded to require that the registration card be "in plain sight" in the driver's compartment "so as to clearly show the entire face" of the card.

Trak, 71, a native of Nova Scotia who came to the United States 43 years ago and to California 31 years ago and who has lived in the Anaheim area most of the time, died Sunday at an Orange hospital after a brief illness. For many years he conducted a fish market in Anaheim. The family home at present is at 1829 Orange Ave., Costa Mesa. He is survived by his wife, May A. Trak; one step-son, Russell Sollows, of Santa Ana; 2 sons; Levert I Trak of Corona del Mar and Douglas B. Trak of Costa Mesa; three brothers in the East; two grandchildren and one great grandchild. Funeral services were conducted from the Hilgenfeld chapel Wednesday and burial followed in the family plot in Westminster Memorial Park. Den Mothers Hold Class Session On Oct. 28 the Den Mothers of Northern Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of America, held the first meeting of a six week Den Mothers training course. The course is designed to help Den Mothers handle the problems of running a Den of eight to ten Cub Scouts. In attendance from Anaheim were: Mrs. Darlene G. Matthews. Geraldine Huff Exchanges With Ben Cole on Sunday A charming November bride was Miss Geraldine Henrietta Huff as she exchanged marriage vows with Benjamin Maynard Cole on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 1) at the Broadway wedding chapel in Santa Ana. Miss Huff is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph E. Huff of 931 Western ave., and her bridegroom is the son of the late Jack Cole and Mrs. Cole of Yakima, Wash. Just members of the immediate family gathered in the beautifully decorated wedding chapel as the bride was given in marriage by her father.

During the years when Roland Vandegrift served as Legislative Auditor, John Peirce, then with the California Taxpayers Association, regularly but unobtrusively slipped in and out of Sacramento. Each time he carried a sheaf of bills or comment Vandegrift had asked him to prepare. Before a legislative committee he is as coldly incisive as a surgeon. He never offers an impassioned word and answers only such questions as are put to him. Legislators badger him only once, for he has the happy faculty of never making a statement he can't back up. Honest John Fright has had his eye on Peirce for years and it made Peirce nervous, for even the Governor doesn't earn the salary John drew from the oil people. But that he answered the Governor's beckon, when it came, was natural for he has a sense of duty as high as his sense of honesty. And one would as soon tempt the archbishop as to dangle a fig under John Peirces' nose. You just wouldn't dare. What is equally important to the Governor, John Peirce knows where every penny of the state's money is located, what it is earned for, and when it is due to be spent. He also knows where the next nickle is coming from. At a time when the State government—much as the farmers—is facing a "price-cost squeeze," it is comforting to know that the Governor has chosen such a man to chart his administration's financial course.

Eastern Star Has Brother's Night 4 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1953 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA HOMEMAKER'S FORUM By The Gazette's Own Home Economist JOAN S. WHITE For those who enjoy the luxury of a fireplace, yule logs which burn for a long time with beautiful multi-color flames are a festive touch for holiday celebrations. These may be made at home from tightly bundled old newspapers dipped in a special solution. Since they must dry thoroughly before use and the process takes about six weeks, we give directions today for making these unique yule logs. They make very acceptable Christmas gifts. YULE LOG The basis for each yule log is about eight issues of old newspapers rolled in a bundle and tied securely at both ends and in the middle to form a log about 18 inches long. The paper will swell when dipped in the chemical solution and so should not be tied too tightly. To make the dip, dissolve four pounds of crystal form blue stone, four pounds of powdered copper sulphate and three pounds of rock salt in one gallon of water. This amount is sufficient for about four logs and may be doubled or tripled as desired. The solution may then be divided into four or five wooden kegs or stone jars. Stand as many logs on end as each container will hold. You will notice that the solution seeps about half way up each log and so the logs should be changed end for end each day. Stir up the solution when doing A. Brown Jennings Dies on Oct. 30 A. Brown Jennings, 39, a resident for 11 years at 427 S. Lemont st. and operator of the N. Lemont st. pool hall, died on Oct. 30, at his home. He was a native of Arkansas. He is survived by his wife, Maynette A. Jennings; three daughters, Barbara, June and Audrey, all of the home; two brothers, Earl of Arkansas and Tom of Bakersfield; and a sister, Mrs. Irene Allee of Redondo. Funeral services were held Tuesday in the chapel of Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary with the Rev. A. J. Casebeer officiating. Interment was made in Anaheim cemetery. MORE ABOUT ... Oblong Views Continued from Page One What made "Forever Amber" one of the best sellers of all time? The fact that it was publicly condemned.

Eastern Star Has Brother's Night It was Brothers' Night for Eastern Star, Chipsa Chapter, last week, and observed with a hobo theme. Tables were decorated with miniature campfires and the group of 75 was entertained with a funny hobo skit by Everet Waymire, Everet Granere, George McCarthy and Earl Woodward. Worthy Matron Dorothy Thiesen presided and gave a report on the Grand Chapter session recently held in Long Beach. It was attended for the 44th time by Eva Boyd, Past Worthy Matron of the Chipsa Chapter and Past Grand Treasurer. Susie Brown, Associate Matron, described the beautiful installation ceremonies. The Chapter was visited by two guests, Anita Baker and Joseph Putnam, Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron of Garden Grove. Six petitions for membership were considered.
