LAST SUNDAY was quite a full day for me, and it has given me long pause for thought. First off, I went to an 8:30 mass with a friend of mine of the Catholic faith who had invited me to his church. This was my first attendance at a Catholic church. Immediately I was struck with the air of reverence, solemnity and dignity of the gathering and although a Protestant and not coached in the ways of the Catholic faith I felt not embarrassed at any time, and not unclean when I emerged from the church. Later, at 11 a.m., I was among the numberless faces in the congregation of the Rev. Frank Butterworth's White Temple Methodist church, where I saw no genuflection, heard a lot of choral singing and an excellent 25-minute sermon based on the theme that we should not judge the worth of a man merely by the color of his skin. The atmosphere in the Methodist church was quite a bit less formal than that in the Catholic. In the latter, the communicants looked straight toward the altar, and there was no conversation, no gazing toward the back. The Methodists, on the other hand, chattered a bit after they Industrial Group Makes Plans for Operations in '55 Committee assignments and an outline of the 1955 program of the Anaheim Area Industrial Group have been released by Walter E. Miller, Jr., newly-elected chairman of the group. The AAIG, sponsored by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, is composed of representatives of industries in Northern Orange county. The executive committee of the group is composed of Miller, Mike Hulett, Oscar Schultz, Larry Snow, Bill Aldrich, Ken Hauck, and Doug Small. Hulett is the newly-elected vice-chairman of the AAIG. Miller recently succeeded Oscar Schultz as chairman of the group. In recognition of Schultz' service as chairman from May 1951 to Jan. 1, 1955, the executive committee presented him a plaque for outstanding service in organization and development of the AAIG. Committee assignments announced by Miller are: Facilities catalog—Snow, Fred Kell and Bob Chambers; Membership—Hulett, Lou Herbst and Howard Block; Public relations—Miller, Aldrich, Hulett; Schools—Small, Hauck; Industrial Day — Aldrich, Harry Spotts. Miller said the group plans a five-fold program for 1955. It will acquaint Southern California with General Motors Sets All-Time Sales Record Retail sales of General Motors passenger cars during the first 10 days of February set an all-time record for that period. President Harlow H. Curtice of General Motors announced today. New highs were recorded for both new and used cars sold by General Motors dealers. The new marks followed record January sales, making GM-passenger car sales during 1955 through February 10 the highest in history for the period. All five General Motors passenger car divisions—Chevrolet Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac—recorded all-time high marks in retail sales during the first 10 days of February and for the period January 1 through February 10. Mr. Curtice said. "Despite our current high rate of production the market is so strong that we have not been able to provide our dealers with comfortable selling stock of cars." "Fresh Air," a three-act comedy farce, written by Glenn Hughes has been chosen as this year Junior play at AUHS. Tryou will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 23 with rehearsals to start on Feb. 24. The production will be shown on Friday, April 1. singing and an excellent 25-minute sermon based on the theme that we should not judge the worth of a man merely by the color of his skin. The atmosphere in the Methodist church was quite a bit less formal than that in the Catholic. In the latter, the communicants looked straight toward the altar, and there was no conversation, no gazing toward the back. The Methodists, on the other hand, chattered a bit after they had seated themselves in their pews, and turned around occasionally to see what kind of bonnet Mrs. Jones was wearing this Sunday. But in both churches there was, in the final analysis, a searching for something, and each communicant seemed to find it in his own way. At least, everyone seemed happy to get out and home to Sunday dinner. After attending the religious services of two divergent denominations I fell to thinking and finally came up with the thought that it is rather nice to live in America where we can go to any church we darn well want to. All churches have different methods, but they pursue the same ultimate goal. The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, did not strike me blind for going over from a Protestant to a Catholic church Sunday. Things are getting a little blurred, but I ain't blind yet. Perhaps we would all do better if we took time out to look at the other fellow's views, his problems, and try to see things from his side of the fence. But that's enough preaching for this week. As for the religious angle, I am absolutely unbiased. My dad was a Methodist minister for 30 years. AS A MATTER of policy, this column ignores letters from crackpots and cranks who haven't got enough extenuation of the lower alimentary tract to sign their letters. THAT HAPLESS motorist who disappeared involuntarily from public view by driving his auto into one of those pot-holes out on South Olive St. this week was able to make contact with the outside world. Through a speaking tube which was lowered to him, he stated that he hoped his wife would not be too angry if he were singing and an excellent 25-minute sermon based on the theme that we should not judge the worth of a man merely by the color of his skin.

LATE RAIN BOON TO FRUIT GROWERS Wednesday about noon Anaheimers were treated to a very welcome sight—rain began to fall. The county was treated to a light and gentle spring rain. Up until Thursday at press time we had received seven-tenths of an inch of the precious stuff and the clouds had not dissipated. To the eye of the oldest citizen it looked as if more rain would be in store. The reaction among local farmers is that a late rain of this type will do a great deal of good to the valencia crop which remains unfrozen. It will cause the fruit to grow. Will Attend Meet Of Optometrists Dr. and Mrs. Homer A. Nelson of Anaheim, have registered and will attend the Golden Anniversary Convention of the California Optometric Association in Fresno, Feb. 19 thru' 22. The four-day conclave will headquarter in the New Hacienda Motel, the largest such establishment in the nation. More than 500 members of the COA and the Women's Auxiliary are expected to attend, according to Carl Kallman, general chairman of the convention. Mrs. Henry Kuchel returns toization and development of the AAIG. Committee assignments announced by Miller are: Facilities catalog—Snow, Fred Kell and Bob Chambers; Membership—Hulett, Lou Herbst and Howard Block; Public relations—Miller, Aldrich, Hulett; Schools—Small, Hauck; Industrial Day — Aldrich, Harry Spotts. Miller said the group plans a five-fold program for 1955. It will acquaint Southern California industries with the manufacturing facilities available among AAIG members, and will continue to bring sub-contract work into the area. For personnel in the local plants the AAIG will recommend educational programs designed to aid local employees to move into better jobs. The group will counsel local students with regards to careers in industry. And, AAIG will plan an Industrial Day when member industries will open their facilities for visits by the general public.

Through a speaking tube which was lowered to him, he stated that he hoped his wife would not be too angry if he were late again for supper, that he was starting a book on "How To Be A Mole And Enjoy It," and that he hoped the American Legion would not accuse him of going underground of his own volition. I WAS FEELING sort of bad the other day, and went to my doctor to see what he could do for me. But he wasn't too encouraging. "This is a hopeless case." he said, after feeling my purse. IF YOUR people remain right, your public men can never betray you... Cultivate and protect that sentiment (that the principles of liberty are eternal) and your ambitious leaders will be reduced to their positions of servants instead of masters. The above is a quote from Abe Lincoln. I sort of wish he were Senate Majority Leader today. All the same, I still would hesitate to walk up to President Elsenhower and say: "Hey, vassal."

Off-Shore Tideland Oil Drilling Vital To Orange County "Of more than passing interest to all my constituents in Orange county—in fact, the entire California coast—the four bills now before the State Senate that would permit off-shore tideland oil drilling," John A. Murdy, Jr., Senator, 35th District, said this week. The law at present provides in the event a pool of油 lying under the tidelands is being drained by some adjacent oil wells; the State Land Commission "shall grant leases to recover the share of oil from such a pool that rightfully belongs to the State. Also under consideration at present before the Appalate court is a recent decision of the attorney general that would permit the use of "islands" or "filled land" out to the surf in the event such leases are granted. The four bills before the Senate would definitely permit such island or platform drilling in the surf, place additional powers in the State Land Commission and give general relax regulations that deal with tideland oil drilling.

Onerer Resident Curied Today Services were held this morning 9 o'clock in Little Church of Flowers at Forest Lawn cemetery, Los Angeles, for Clement Adelaide Price P-TA Attacked By Ant Colony An ant colony as a traveling prize is acting as an incentive to members of the Adelaide Price P-TA. This unique and fascinating object was claimed for the second time by Miss Gillette's grade at the recent meeting of the Adelaide Price P-TA.

In Anaheim school system there are three industry, numbering 62 firms, employing 3,349 persons and accounting for $10,288,000 in salaries and wages during the third quarter of 1952. In its report on Orange county, the Chamber noted that its 175,000 acres of crop land embrace one of the most fertile and intensively cultivated areas of the state. "Although rapid population growth and industrialization, further stimulated by completion of the Santa Ana Freeway, has reduced the number of farms and crop acreages, agriculture is still an important part of the economy," the Chamber's report stated. Citrus fruits constituted the largest crop. Oranges the most important product were valued at $37,000,000 in 1953. "Nearby metropolitan centers of population, however, furnish a ready market for vegetables, milk and eggs and these lines have shown the greatest relative expansion since the war." During 1953 taxable retail sales reached $300,878,000 as compared with $55,988,000 in 1940. There were 2,537 firms engaged in trade in the county during the third quarter of 1953.

Announce Call For Queen of '55 County Fair Launching preparations for the 1955 Orange County Fair, officials have issued invitations to Chambers of Commerce and Community Associations throughout Orange county to sponsor candidates for the Fair Queen of the Fair Under consideration at present before the Appellate court is a recent decision of the attorney general that would permit the use of "islands" or "filled land" out in the surf in the event gull lease are granted. The four bills before the Senate would definitely permit such island or platform drilling in the surf, place additional powers to the State Land Commission and give general relax regulations that deal with tideland oil drilling. Murray said. "The State has been receiving approximately $10 billion per year in tidelands oil revenue." To the 12 million people of California that would mean about 85 cents each. If the laws are changed it allow additional exploration along the coast, that figure would undoubtedly be considerably increased. Even though it were doubled I do not believe it would be desirable when the risk of oil spoiling our beaches is involved Especially is that true in the highly developed recreational and residential areas of Orange county. "I believe it is safe to say that all three Orange county representatives in the State legislature will work for the passage of law that will adequately protect beaches and prevent oil drilling out in the tidelands," Murdy concluded.

Kuchel Seeks Legislation Aimed At Smog Control An intensive research program directed by the federal govern­ment to protect both city dwellers and rural area residents from smog is being advocated in Congress by U. S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California. Kuchel has introduced a bill in the Senate authorizing a five-year campaign by federal, state, and local agencies, educational and scientific organizations, and others to learn the sources and causes of smog and other contamination of the atmosphere and to devise methods of checking or counteracting air pollution. Kuchel took the lead in seeking federal assistance after scientists advised him that air pollution is endangering people in an increas­ing number of places and contami­ntion of the atmosphere may affect areas relatively far away from thickly-settled and industrial communities. The California senator is preparing to request specific amounts of money for anti-smog research in this session of Congress. New P-TA Board Settles Down To Business With name tags to help them, the board of the Adelaide Price P.T.A. recently held a meeting and settled down to their respective responsibilities, briefed by the president, Mrs. Joe Brown.

Motorama on Way To Southland The General Motors Motorama of 1955 started its 3500 mile transcontinental journey to Los Angeles Monday after smashing previous Miami attendance records in a 9-day showing which ended in Miami, Fla., Sunday. The vanguard of the 100-truck Motorama caravan set out Monday morning for Los Angeles, where the '55 Motorama will hold its West Coast premiere in the Pan Pacific auditorium March 5-13. Commenting on the record attendances at the first two showings of the '55 Motorama, Harlow H. Curtice, president of General Motors, said ...

The California senator is preparing to request specific amounts of money for anti-smog research in this session of Congress. Saying the research activities would be "modest," Kuchel told the senate "when one considers that the danger to health and life is so great, that injurious effects of smog may reduce the production of many agricultural crops, that smog snarls traffic and deteriorates properties, the proposed expenditure is indeed conservative and well within the resources of our government."

Deadline Dates Listed for Vets Of Korean War Veterans Administration today issued a checklist of deadline dates before which eligible veterans of the Korean War must act if they wish to take advantage of certain benefits. Most of the deadlines resulted from the president's proclamation setting Jan. 31, 1955 as the end of the Korean War governing eligibility for the benefits. The conflict began June 27, 1950. One of the most important deadlines not affected by the president's proclamation requires that eligible veterans who wish to go to school or train under the Korean GI bill must start training within three years after they leave service or forfeit all further rights to the benefits. This requirement is contained in the law itself and, therefore, was not affected by the president's proclamation. Those who start their education or training within the required three-year period must complete their Korean GI bill training by Jan. 31, 1963 resulted from the president's proclamation.
