BLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.O.E. Nothing to be thankful for? How about health and happiness? (Wealth helps, but it isn't necessary.) I know, a fellow who installed a $6,000 swimming pool in his back yard. He had wealth to do it. Now, he is mortally afraid that one of his, or one of the neighbor's kids will drown in it. Consequently, wealth in this case could hardly be said to have bought happiness. I am thankful that I am not rich. Were vast wealth immediately thrust upon me I would probably become pompous, dignified, and untouchable. Better to be a poor man and vote for Adalai Stevenson. What is there really to be thankful for? We take so many things "for granted" that it is good for the soul to sit down once in a while and take census. First off, at this time we should be thankful that United States soldiers are committed to no right shooting war, anywhere in the world. This is something to look upon with a deep sense of gratitude. Along this same line, we should feel thankful that (as far as we are allowed to know here on the grass-roots level) our national leaders are exercising every effort to see that we stay out of war. Things are pretty chancy. I grant, but at the risk of being labeled an anti-patriot. I say that 26 Thankful Residents Helped Granted U.S. Citizenship Thanksgiving this year will take on added meaning: 26 Anaheim residents who were granted United States citizenship in a special session of Superior Court held in American Legion hall, Santa Ana. The Anaheimers were a group of 205 from other sections of the county who received final citizenship papers. The local group included Mexicans, three British, six natives; one Italian, threemans, and one each from Belgium, Poland and The Netherlands. In addressing the new citi Franklin G. West, Superior C presiding judge, said: "It is particularly fitting to come you just before that dedicated to the giving of the to our Creator, thanks for blessings that are ours." The new United States citizen living in Anaheim are: Frances Gardick, 311 N.W. St.; Mariana Booth, 1214 W.Brway; Gabriel R. Burgos, 116 Lemon; Guadalupe A. Estre 1150 Parry St; Celso De C 7282 S. Pio Pico St.; Teofil Ayala, 524 S. Lemon; Car Martinez, 14522 E. La Jolla and Felix Puentea, 17725 La Rd.; all from Mexico. Annie and James E. Cartwright 300 Hampshire Ave., and Haile Todd, 6202 Lincoln Ave.of Great Britain. James Francis Brown, 2 West St.; Marie Jean Dubois, 1 Santa Rosalia St.; Helen LA Roddick and Eric McKenzie soldiers are committed to no outright shooting war, anywhere in the world. This is something to look upon with a deep sense of gratitude. Along this same line, we should feel thankful that (as far as we are allowed to know here on the grass-roots level) our national leaders are exercising every effort to see that we stay out of war. Things are pretty chancy, I grant, but at the risk of being labeled an anti-patriot, I say that losing four or five plane crews over a year's time is not as bad as 250,000 men killed in an all-out war. Let us be thankful that in our country even the earner of the lowest wage can go down to the super mart and lay in provender for the Thanksgiving feast that would put an Oriental potentate to shame. He can do this because of a peculiarly beneficent economic system which yields to the man at the lower stratum a maximum of return for effort expended on his part. Is this not something to be truly thankful for? The biggest of the big shots in some foreign countries cannot afford to drive a Cadillac. Anyone in America can, if he sets his mind to it. It might be a little hard on the pocketbook, but the potential is there. This, I hold, is something to be thankful for. Yes, occasionally we are forced to put up with some rather crummy politicians, but if they are too rank, we can always dump them out at the polls on stated days of election. This is something else to be thankful for. We can be reasonably certain that no hoodlums wearing uniforms and called state police will enter our homes and haul us away without due process of law. And in this country secret spies and lurking operatives are not constantly hovering over us to look into our every act. (Except that old lady across the street). We could go on and on, and fill books listing things for which we should give thanks. They are countless. As a case in point, I am thankful today I thought better of paying $10,500 for a tract house for which I would have paid $25,000 in 25 years, including interest. I am thankful that I can attend any church I like, and feel sort of sorry for those who are denied this privilege. However, on the great day of thanks, we should not be too At the same time, the region was divided into six districts, each with a district manager. The Anaheim post office is included in District No. 5, with headquarters at San Diego, and with Mr. Posey Quesinberry as manager. This decentralization program of the Post Office department has met with great success in other sections of the United States and should prove to be of equal importance in this area. It brings management closer to the actual scene of operations and thus should be of extreme importance to Anaheim and other rapidly expanding areas, Hoskins said. In the past it has been difficult for the Bureau of Operations in Washington D.C. to fully understand and appreciate the problems of the West Coast due to the great distance involved. Now the district manager will be able to give authority to make needed changes in the service based on first-hand knowledge of local conditions and needs, Hoskins added. Topperettes Enjoy Social Evening; Elect New Officers The Topperette November meeting was held in Sybil Ring's home 420 Leonora street, with Hazel Bunnell and Jean Chamberlain as co-hostesses with Mrs. Ring. It was guest night and games of bridge and canasta were played. Prizes went to Faye Cotler, Vickie Burchit and Maxine Carlson. Dessert followed the games. Nomination of new officers was held with elections slated for the next meeting. Arrangements were made for a gala Christmas party for members only on Tuesday, Dec. 14. Holiday Hints Home Dept. Me Mrs. C. J. Mauerhan, 970 East street, was hostess for November meeting of the helm Home department at home Tuesday, Nov. 23. The morning session topic "When Family and Friends to-Gether" and a tempting variety of holiday foods were planned ahead. After a share-the-cost leon, Mrs. Erma Ferris of the lowry Gift Shop in Fullerton an interesting demonstration gift wrapping and special decorations. books listing things for which we should give thanks. They are countless. As a case in point, I am thankful today I thought better of paying $10,500 for a tract house for which I would have paid $25,000 in 25 years, including interest. I am thankful that I can attend any church I like, and feel sort of sorry for those who are denied this privilege. However, on the great day of thanks, we should not be too insular in our thoughts, and it seems that as we glut ourselves in the comfort and safety of our own homes we should give a thought to the millions in other countries who could make a very good meal off the leavings of our holiday table. Fact is, at times I have thought that Thanksgiving actually should be a day of fasting so that we could get a real idea of what is meant by the word plenty. Daily, as we drive past our fine public schools, monuments to enlightenment which free men have erected, we feel thankful that here is the distillation of a great democratic effort dedicated to the end that all and sundry, regardless of economic status, can be educated and see the light, rather than be held in the clammy and dark dungeons of ignorance, fear and superstition. This, too, is something to be thankful for. And, under our system of free expression, we are able, without fear of suppression, to fight those advocates of the Dark Ages who would stifle the public school. Is this not something to be triply thankful for? A wonderful holiday to all. Have a good time with friends and relatives, dwell long on your blessings, and above all, men, don't fall to compliment the little girl on that pumpkin pie. You'll be thankful for this little touch of foresight for days on end. Residents Here Citizenship take on added meaning for granted United States citisuperior Court held in the American Legion hall, Santa Ana. The Anaheimers were among group of 205 from other sections the county who received their citizenship papers. The local group included eight citizens; three British, six Calians; one Italian, three Gerians, and one each from Japan, Belgium, Poland and The Netherlands. Addressing the new citizens, Franklin G. West, Superior Court holding judge, said: It is particularly fitting to welcome you just before that day located to the giving of thanks our Creator, thanks for the sings that are ours."

CROWDING FORCES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL INTO DOUBLE SESSIONS At a recent Orangethorpe P-TA board meeting, James Graves, principal, reported on the Nov. 4 meeting to discuss double sessions. Allan Butler, assistant superintendent of the Fullerton elementary schools, presided at the meeting of this group of representatives from the various rooms. Double sessions are expected to start not later than Jan. 3, and possibly sooner. The groups recommended that the change to double sessions be accomplished for all grades concerned allowing for expected growth and eliminating future changes. The younger children will be given preference for morning sessions. Fabulous Doll Collection Seen The fabulous doll collection belonged to Venita Miller was the center of attention at the November meeting of the Anaheim doll club on Thursday Nov. 18. Fourteen members and guest Mrs. Ralph Dickenson of Anaheim, met at the Miller home in Santa Ana to view the dolls and the collections of other items that represent repeated trips to Europe. The door prize won by Mrs. Dickenson was a gift purchased in Ireland last summer when Mrs. Miller was in search of unusual dolls for her collection. Members brought with them specially prepared dolls which are to be Christmas presents for Girls Town, Arlington. A surprise feature of the social hour was a birthday celebration U.S.M.

The announcement was made by H. N. Paron, export manager for the Florida Citrus Exchange. The Exchange, which changed its name Sept. 1, conducts all fresh fruit operations in the name of Seald-Sweet Sales, Inc., but exports under the old name. The big cooperative has marketed citrus fruit of 45 affiliates for almost a half century and last year begin selling avocados, mangos, and lychees. Choice avocados, grown and packed in Dade County by Florida Tropical Fruit Growers, Inc., of Goulds, will continue to be exported under the Seald-Sweet brand name. Florida Tropical joined the Exchange system a year ago. "This is not a trial shipment," Baron said. "It is a bonified order and we hope to expand our foreign markets for this commodity." Baron refused to disclose the exact destination of the shipment or its size, but did state that he had "beaten California to the sale" and secured new business for Florida avocados. The shipment, he added, is "sizeable" and has been sold to a large "British possession."
