ONE PROJECT which the Retail Merchants Division of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce might well concentrate on would be a program to have all Anaheim stores and shops plainly and consistently numbered with their street address. Newcomers to town and others unfamiliar to the business district find it mighty hard to find business addresses here. As a case in point, a local woman entered a downtown jewelry store the other day in a state of exasperation. She had been trying to find 126 W. Center, but it seemed that someone had hidden the number. The jewelry store's number was lettered on its door, but when the door was open, you couldn't see the number from the street. If you don't think this CAN be exasperating, ask one of your mailmen what he thinks of obscurely marked house numbers. It would be a definite service to the public for our retail stores to get together on this, with LARGE numbers; preferably of the same type and size, affixed to their front doors either at eye-level or at some other agreed-on height, that all were also 100 Singers, Dancers, Needed for Annual County Fair Pirate Music Property Taxes in Orange County Hit $33,272,108 in Year Property taxes levied in Orange county reached $33,272,108 for the year which will end on June 30, California Taxpayers' association reported today.

S. Senator Thomas Kuchel of California has urged Senate Appropriations comm If you don't think this CAN be exasperating, ask one of your mailmen what he thinks of obscurely marked house numbers. It would be a definite service to the public for our retail stores to get together on this, with LARGE numbers; preferably of the same type and size, affixed to their front doors either at eye-level or at some other agreed-on height, just so that all were placed in the same manner. How about it, Mr. Moeller? Put this on your next meeting's agenda and help a lot of perplexed people who see the store addresses in advertisements and telephone directories but can't find them marked on the stores. BEHIND UTTERANCES of the famous which have reverberated through the halls of history there have always been additional remarks of the less famous, ignored by the historians. To give these forgotten men their just dues, we cite, a few examples, as follows: "How'd he ever figure that out?" (Comment by disgusted first sergeant on Bataan after hearing President Roosevelt's statement in declaration of war address to Congress on Dec. 8, 1941: "War exists.") "Damn the old man! Didn't he ever learn the command Full Speed Aster?" (Engine room oller, second class, reacting to Admiral Farragut's classic remark: "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!") "What's he trying to do, get us all bayonetted to death?" (Remarks of grimy infantryman commenting on Gen. "Mad" Anthony Wayne's classic order at Bunker Hill: "Don't fire 'til you can see the whites of their eyes.") "Sounds like a catty remark to me." (Political opponent of Patrick Henry's immortal: "My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country.") "This guy is definitely bucking for Chief of Naval Operations." (Chief Gunner's Mate Joe Jones following Admiral Dewey's calm inclusion in the $33,272,108 total property tax levy in the county for 1954-55 were $7,679,868 for general county purposes, $4,978,477 for municipalities, $14,845,244 for school districts, and $5,768,521 for special districts, the Taxpayers' association said.

Doll Club Members See Colored Slides Members of the Doll Club, which met at the home of Mrs. Donnie Simms on No. Zeyn 'st., Thursday of last week, saw colored slides of the doll collection of Mrs. Julia Salisbury. Each member brought her favorite doll and then told something about it. Colored pictures were made by Mrs. Elisie Taylor to be shown at a later meeting. Mrs. Edna Miller, program chairman, showed a number of stuffed animals she had designed and made and to add to the novelty of each, she read a verse concerning the particular animal. Mrs. Vincenta Sorenson, who leaves in the very near future for travel abroad this summer, was presented with a lovely handmade lace handkerchief made and presented by Mrs. Salisbury as a bon voyage gift from the club. Guests present were Mrs. Marilyn Van de Bogart, Mrs. Irene Sen. Kuchel Fight To Save Water For California U. S.

(Confused citizen listening to Herbert Hoover in 1930 uttering the classic: "Prosperity is just around the corner.") 1776—1955 On Monday, July 4, we, the American people, celebrate an occurrence of many, many years ago that marked the birthday of the beginning of a small, struggling people, swathed in the crudest and most ill-fitting of governmental swaddling cloths, which later was to develop into the strongest, greatest, most powerful nation on earth, dedicated to God, life, liberty and the unhindered pursuit of happiness. May we, under the guidance of the Great Architect continue to build and enjoy these great blessings unknown to so many other lands, and may our spirit of patriotism and loyalty to God, home and country never wane.

In dollar volume this amounted to a total of $145,507,000.” Air traffic was up 23 per cent. Almost two million people flew in and out of the Los Angeles International Airport and Lockheed Air Terminal. Air freight through airports rose 13 per cent. Construction permit values were up to $545,784,000 for a 28 per cent increase over the first five months of 1954. “All of this business activity and productivity has resulted in a seven per cent rise in the average weekly earnings in manufacturing over 1954. A comparison of earnings since 1950 shows that today the average wage is $84.70 per week. In 1950 it was $62.92; and in 1954, $79.25,” commented Miller.
