BLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. LETTER TO THE FOLKS BACK HOME Dear Folks: When are you coming out here to Southern California? Life is so simple out here. Don't you just dread the thought of that horrible winter which confronts you? Even now, those dull, wet, cheerless November days are upon you, with damp leaves plastered on the sidewalks, (to say nothing of Uncle Yancey) and any day now, look out for one of those sudden overnight temperature drops and two feet of snow any morning. You are really a hardy group. Even more rugged than us pioneers out here. Did Gramp ever settle for inside plumbing, or does he still read the morning paper outside? How is little Tookie? Poor little Tookie. He was always considered a bit added back there, but in California, he would get right to the top. Even if he couldn't get past the fifth grade back there, he could probably come out here and start an old age pension plan before he reached 18. The weather is so wonderful here, all year 'round. Rain is such an oddity that the local denizens go wild when it happens. Does rain happen, or does it fall? Oh, well, when it does whatever it does. Anaheim Celebration to Help Mark Production of GM's 50 Millionth Car Plans for a 'GOLDEN CARnival' luncheon in the banquet room of the Elks club at Anaheim and a day-long open house at the Delco Battery plant here are announced at part of Anaheim participation in the national celebration of the production of the 50 millionth General Motors car on Tuesday, November 23. R. A. Daily, resident manager, Delco Battery operations, revealed that a feature of the local luncheon program will be an address by Harlow H. Curtice, president of General Motors. Curtice will be heard here and in many other cities across the country in a direct telephone hookup from Flint, Michigan. The telephone hookup will link local guests directly to the key 'GOLDEN CARnival' luncheon in Flint which will be held following production there of the 50 Millionth car—a symbolic golden Chevrolet—marking a production milestone never before achieved by an automotive company. Another feature of the luncheon here will be a talk by Mayor Charles Pearson. Pearson will discuss the significance to Anaheim of the production of the 50 Millionth GM car. Daily also invited everyone in the Anaheim area to visit the local General Motors plant as it joins the first national open house ever staged by the company. "We hope everyone will make a point of inspecting our plant where so many of their relatives, friends and neighbors work," Daily said. "There will be regular guided tours all day and 50 Millionth Car Aid to Needy at Christmas Sought by Salvation Army Local residents can help the Salvation Army provide Christmas cheer for unfortunate men and for families in low-income brackets. Brigadier William J. Parkins, manager of the Salvation Army Social Service center that serves this area, said the Christmas program is dependent upon donations of discarded articles by local folk. The articles needed include castoff but still usable clothing, furniture, shoes, bedding, dishes, toys, dolls, tricycles, bicycles radios, stoves, silverware, bric-a-brac and miscellaneous items. Salvage gifts will serve a two-fold purpose. Brigadier Parkins pointed out. They will provide a work therapy program for homeless and handicapped men, including disabled war veterans, who recondition the articles in the center' workshops. They will also make possible Christmas joy for less-fortunate families. "Providing Christmas cheer has been traditional with the Salvation Army for the past 89 years," Brigadier Parkins said. He reported that with the coming of cold weather, men with various handicaps are seeking help at the center. An increased A bit added back there, but in California, he would get right to the top. Even if he couldn't get past the fifth grade back there, he could probably come out here and start an old age pension plan before he reached 18. The weather is so wonderful here, all year round. Rain is such an oddity that the local denizens go wild when it happens. Does rain happen, or does it fall? Oh, well, when it does whatever it does, people here make a sort of festival out of it. They talk about it, and call up on the phone to neighbors (and also to friends) yacking and yacking about the rain. Some even get out in it, making mystic signs and rubbing mud on their foreheads. These mostly, however, are orange ranchers. And don't let them kid you about the earthquakes. We haven't had one since the general election of 1952. Incidentally, whatever happened to little Tolliver? He was a bit of a dolt when last I saw him, and had to be led about by Uncle Rancid. The poor child could neither read nor write even at 21, but he missed his bet by not coming to Southern California and going into politics. He would have rung the bell. A fellow name of Sam Yorty jangled it a bit. And who was that kid next door who was the despair of his teacher because he cared nothing about books but who always wanted to dabble with tin cans and assorted junk? Alberforce, I think it was. Yes, Alberforce Gnik. He could make millions out here, down on what we call Automobile Row in Los Angeles, a city. Yes, this is a wonderful place, all right. Twenty-five thousand people have been piling into it every month, according to the State Chamber of Commerce, for the past several years. And, from the look of the landscape, 95% of them are carpenters. Tell Cousin Zelf to bring along a hammer and a bucket of plaster and we will whomp up a housing tract. Before going any further, I may as well warn you that we have a serious minority problem out here. They are made up of a peculiar breed called Native Californians. They sort of lurk in the background and wander about shaking their heads and mumbling. To make a good impression R. A. DAILY souvenir booklets for all visitors." The Anaheim plant, at 1201 N.

The initiation will be held at the N. Lemon st. clubhouse and the dance will follow. This is not to be confused with the "hard times" dance—free to the public—to be held at the clubhouse on Nov. 27. At that time everyone is requested to wear appropriate hard time costumes. Refreshments will be served. Inaa L.

To make a good impression when you enter the state, put the mattresses on TOP of the chicken coops. This is a mark of breeding. When you cross the border into California, officials of the State will require you to stop for an inspection. Be on your best behavior at this point. They will inquire whether you are bringing into the Sovereign State of California such pests as brush lice, sugar beet grisps, thrips, thraps, wombats, Arkansas watermelon seeds, and Democrats. Of all these things, the one they want least to get a foothold in the Golden State is the Arkansas waermelon, for Southern Californians are intensely patriotic and fanatically determined that nothing bigger than the Los Angeles Coliseum should grow here. As for the Democrats, well, there seems to be a way of taking care of them after they have arrived and settled. Well, aside from that, I guess I have said my piece. Oh, yes, there's one more thing. We have most reasonable taxes here, and there's nothing much to worry about on that score. Grampa just returned from the county seat after paying his, and he is without his shirt. But then, who needs a shirt in this warm and sunny climate? P.S. Weather Report — Coastal regions: low, early morning fog. Ina L.
