THIS DEPARTMENT will be receptive to suggestions from any and all persons on ways to establish an "Anti Arthur Godfrey Society." Godfrey is vainglorious as a peacock, at the same time being not half so talented. He foists his infantile gibberish onto the radio public and still has the unmitigated gall to label it entertainment. He fires talented performers from his employ with all the emotional display of Caesar eating a grape, sending out press releases explaining that the sacked entertainers had lost their "humility." Meanwhile, the Great Godfrey himself has about as much humility as the battleship Missouri unlimbering a broadside. Who will rally to this cause to become charter members in an organization dedicated to the proposition that Godfrey should be chased back up into the hills where, to his heart's content, he can mumble to the birds? His brand of stuff is strictly for them. Public School Week Apr. 25-30 SOMETHING HAS GOT to be done about the traffic situation around these parts. If that something is not done, automotive City Council, Anaheim Industries to Hold Open House Here May 13 Many Anaheim industries and the Anaheim City hall are preparing to open their doors to the public on May 13 part of Anaheim's observance of Industrial Progress week. PUBLIC SCHOOLS TAKE SPOTLIGHT HERE NEXT WEEK Sparked by Masonic Lodges throughout the state, California will honor her schools during Public Schools Week April 25-30. In Anaheim, various programs and open houses have been arranged throughout the week to which the public is invited in an attempt to focus attention on our schools so that citizens can observe both curricular, extracurricular activities and inspect the schools' physical plants. Proclamation Anaheim City Council lends support to the program through a proclamation from Mayor Pearson officially designating Public Schools Week. This will be the 36th annual observance to be sponsored by California Masons. Activities will get under way Monday evening at 7:30 at Anaheim Union High school with a program of band music and a recital by the Choral group. Following the program, certain classrooms and departments of the high school will be open for inspection. It is announced that tours of the plants and explanations of the manufacturing systems will highlight the open houses at the manufacturing firms. Guided tour at the City hall will be conducted through various departments of the city government. One of the features of the City hall tour will be an "open house" at the city newly remodeled jail. In addition, Mayor Charles Pearson has said that the public would be welcomed during the day at the Fire department, Power and Light plant, and the new city reservoir. Industrial Open House Bill Aldrich, chairman of the open house committee, has assances from nine local industries that they will host the public May 13. Firms which so far have entered the program are Interstice Precision Products, California Hosiery, Kwikset Locks, William Manufacturing, Gelvatex Coings, P & L Transmission, Rertshaw-Fulton, Merrifield Trusting, and Sioux Honey Associates. Others are expected to join a group. On May 11, local industry are inaugurating a special industry-education day. Teachers from the local senior and junior schools and Anaheim clergy will be "students" at various manufacturing plants for the day. A sonnel of the plants will "instruct them in the operation of plants and will give them an SOMETHING HAS GOT to be done about the traffic situation around these parts. If that something is not done, automotive transport one of these week ends is just simply going to grind to a shuddering halt, with frustrated motorists standing beside their stalled vehicles shaking their fists at the heavens in impotent rage. Civil defense officials have talked of mass evacuation by automobile from Los Angeles in case of enemy bombing. This idea would be laughable were it not for inherent tragic overtones. Why, you can hardly get INTO Los Angeles on an ordinary week end right now. What great panic, what hopeless frustration, what carrage would result in an attempted mass exodus of automobiles from that sprawling metropolis during an enemy attack! The enemy need not waste any bombs. Just one or two airplanes to set off the alert would do the trick. Better to leave the jalopy in the garage and resort to prayer. FIVE YEARS AGO, we used to fliver around the county on Sunday afternoons, poking here and there into interesting spots with few traffic problems. Last Sunday afternoon we went to O'Neill park, up at the foot of Saddleback mountain for a picnic lunch, only about 20 miles from Anaheim, and we like to never made it back home. We left the park at about 4:30 p.m. to return to Anaheim (and our troubles began in earnest) it requiring almost an hour to get through Tustin, which in itself is not considered a metropolitan behemoth. But the cars! Bumper to bumper, crawling along at about 1 mile per hour, with interminable and numberless stops. Finally through Tustin, we turned off onto Route 55 and headed for Orange, thinking that we would escape the traffic through Santa Ana. It took us another hour to traverse the four or five miles into Orange. Bumper to bumper. Route 55 at that point is a two-lane strip. Four lanes is the only answer. Can't help but wonder if Anaheim Union High school with a program of band music and a recital by the Choral group. Following the program, certain classrooms and departments of the high school will be open for inspection. Also on Monday night, from 7 to 9, Edison school and the new Adelaide Price school at North and Loara Sts. will welcome visitors. Open House Lincoln—and George Washington schools will have open house Tuesday night; on Wednesday night, April 27, Thomas Jefferson, Loara, Broadway and Western Junior high school will receive visitors. Thursday, April 28, Horace Mann and Benjamin Franklin schools will be open, and starting at 7:30 p.m. Fremont school will present a program titled "Musical Show of Shows" featuring the school's entire musical department. Chester M. Fowler, principal of Lincoln school and chairman of Public Schools Week for Anaheim Masons, this week issued a cordial invitation to one and all to participate in the observance. FUNERAL SATURDAY FOR EMMA A. EIFERT Funeral services for Mrs. Emma A. Eifert, formerly of 117 N. Olive St., Anaheim, will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 23. Rev.

Mrs. Eifert, 85, a native of Minnesota, had resided in Anaheim the past 20 years. Her death occurred Tuesday, April 19, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Powell of Santa Barbara. GERALD GILLETT ON ATTACK FLAT-TOP Gerald J. Gillette, machinist's mate fireman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Gillett of 315 W.

Also on Monday night, from 7 to 9, Edison school and the new Adelaide Price school at North and Loara Sts. will welcome visitors. Industry-Education Day More than 160 teachers and clergymen are expected to participate in industry-education day. Teachers from the local senior and junior high schools and Anaheim clergy will be "students" at various manufacturing plants for the day. Sonnel of the plants will "instruct them in the operation of plants and will give them an insight into the contributions to the community of the private enterprise system. Industry-Education Day More than 160 teachers and clergymen are expected to participate in industry-education day which is a program new to Anaheim area.

It took us another hour to traverse the four or five miles into Orange. Bumper to bumper. Route 55 at that point is a two-lane strip. Four lanes is the only answer. Can't help but wonder if Anaheim is planning on at least one through (non-stop) street to accommodate motorists coming to Disneyland via the canyon routes. When Disneyland opens, unless something is done along these lines, a pack rat won't be able to walk down Center Street on a Sunday. Personally, I figure on driving my car over a cliff and buying a burro. On second thought, I might go over with it. Public School Week Apr. 26-30 THE LATE Prof. Einstein once explained his theory of relativity like this: "If a man sits beside a beautiful girl for two hours, it seems as only a minute. But if he sits on a red-hot stove lid for one minute, it seems like two hours." There. That clears it all up. Dangers of Bicycle Riding are Cited Parents, teach your children to bicycle the right way. Last year, according to the California Highway Patrol, all but four of the 27 bicyclists killed in traffic within the state were under the age of 15. Among the injured 2760 of 3259 were in this same age group. GERALD GILLETT ON ATTACK FLAT-TOP Geralr J. Gillette, machinist's mate fireman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Gillett of 315 W. North, Anaheim, is serving aboard the Navy's attack aircraft carrier USS Shangri-La which is scheduled to arrive at San Diego, her home port this month. According to Griffith, Anaheim citizens will receive warning simultaneously with all Civil Defense broadcasting stations in California. The official attack warning signals specify a certain uniformity of signals to be used throughout the nation. Changes Made There have been certain changes made recently of which everyone must be well aware and must keep in mind. They are the "Yellow" and "Red" alert signals. The latest change in the "Air-Alert" authorized by directive of the Federal Civil Defense administration which eliminates the "All-Clear" or "White" signal and adopts a "Yellow Alert" public warning signal, which will be a continuous tone by siren or air horn for a period of three minutes to five minutes and will be sounded only when there is sufficient time to give "warning" and then followe the sounding of the "Red" which would signify an imminent and at hand. Yellow Alert The "Yellow" alert will serve "trigger" dispersal of people and near critical target areas would furnish citizens in the city additional time to preparations for the impetus "Red" alert signal; therefore of equal importance and significance. You may be sure that the "Yellow" alert 3 to 5 mi continuous warning signal is we are at war and that we being attacked. The "Red" 3-minute siren or short horn blast an immediate attack; all radios will go off the air, and Coord will take over — tune in on 1240 kilocycles. The siren will provide you that moment for preparation essential. The foregoing method of alarm alerting was approved April 14 by the Orange County and Cities Civil Defense Board. 2 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Assistance League Elects Officers in New Club House The Anaheim Assistance League met in the newly purchased clubhouse at 1341 W.

Anaheim Audience Told of General Motors Plan for Harmony with Union A pledge that General Motors intends to "work hard an effort to arrive at a new agreement with the UAW-which will be fair and of mutual benefit to all" was made Monday by H. W. Anderson, vice-president in charge of personnel of General Motors. In a filmed message, shown before the General Motors club members and their guests at the Elks Club in Anaheim, Andesson emphasized that GM has taken its position at the bargaining table in Detroit with an open mind. The GM vice-president, who is heading the company's negotiating team in current collective bargaining with the UAW-CIO, pointed out that many of the same General Motors and UAW men who were able successfully to negotiate five years of industrial peace and prosperity in 1950 are once again sitting across the bargaining table discussing mutual problems. Benefit Outlined Reviewing some of the dramatic benefits that General Motors employees enjoyed under the historic agreement, Anderson said that as a result of it General Motors was able to plan ahead in research and new product development and to expand its facilities tremendously to meet the growing customer demand. “This all added up,” he said, “to higher pay, steadier employment and the addition of 128,000 good new jobs in General Motors during this five year period.” He said there is every indication that 1955 will not only be another good year in the automotive-business, "but it can be the best year of all." In view of these facts, he said, "It's just common sense to keep the perity ball rolling straight through the year." Anderson's message follows the showing of two movies in one. One of them told the hurdles of thousands of GM employees contributed to an unpainted achievement celebrating late last year by GM—the provision of its 50 millionth automobiles since 1908. The other film, "Report on a Prophecy," revived in narrative form the benefits derived by GM employees, tomers, suppliers and shareholders under the five-year agreee Tells Wage Increases Using a typical GM hourly employee as a case example film points out that GMHO rate workers received total creases of 44 cents an hour during the five-year period of agreement and employees gave a total of more than $20,000 wages on the average during period. It also pointed out that vanced pension, sickness and dent and health benefits end by GM men and women due that time. Guest chairman of the meeting was R. A.

Troop 20 Brownies Sojourn in L. A. The Brownies of Troop No. 20 spent a recent day in Los Angeles. They went by streamliner from Fullerton.
