IT IS HARD to say just what will be the result of the exchange of farmers between Russia and the U.S., but it is safe to say that such visits can't do much harm. However, I feel that it is dangerous to let those fellows come into our homes. There may be furtive operatives in the group who would make quick sketches of our wall-type can openers, the inner workings of cream separators, and the lay-out of bathroom plumbing, to take back to the enemy. One member of the group, straying slightly out of the field of agriculture, looked at a picture of Marilyn Monroe (a movie actress) and said: "Every man should have a wife like this." But I wonder if he stopped to consider one point: Over here, our Marilyns aren't forced to wear boots and slop around out iff the fields. On the whole, though, it seems encouraging that the common citizens of two great big blustering nations are allowed to exchange visits and see each other through the human eye rather than through the pages of a prop- Program Tonight by Local Masonic Groups to Honor Constitution Month Anaheim Masonic groups will observe Constitution Month—September, in a special program tonight in the Masonic Temple at 7:30.

Program committee consists of But I wonder if he stopped to consider one point: Over here, our Marilyns aren't forced to wear boots and slop around out if the fields. On the whole, though, it seems encouraging that the common citizens of two great big blustering nations are allowed to exchange visits and see each other through the human eye rather than through the pages of a propaganda sheet or via the radio waves. I rather imagine that a Russian farmer being treated hospitably and with traditional American friendliness over here would think a long time about what his government has told him of the American's brutality and lust for blood and war. And at the same time, the American farmer mingling with the homely Russian peasant on the most amiable of terms must also be mildly surprised to find that Alexandrovich doesn't have fangs instead of teeth and that he doesn't cut his wheat with a machine gun. I don't think that the Russian people want to fight any more than do the American people. It all goes back to the pathetic fact which has held all through history, that it is not the people of a nation who want to spread the blood and guts. It's the chancellors. If I were to take a rifle and kill a Russian today it would be called murder, and I would be gassed, electrocuted, hanged, or otherwise dispatched for a heinous crime. Under the moral amnesty of an official declaration of war, however, the act might make me a hero, to be lauded to the skies, slapped on the back, congratulated and extolled by flannel-mouthed "patriotic" orators. And, chances are, if I went to the Army chaplain contrite and full of remorse for having broken one of the Commandments, he would, by some devious and obscure admixture of logic, fancy, fact and theology, tell me that everything was OK because the government ordered me to do the datory if the coming school year is to be a safe one," said the Club. Motorists were also reminded to observe the school zone 15 mph speed limit and to be particularly watchful when they see yellow crosswalks, which indicate school areas. To further stress "back-to-school" safety, the Club will distribute posters to PTA groups, district offices and its 300 emergency service stations throughout Southern California. In the coming school year, more than 90,000 children will be active in Club-sponsored school safety committees in elementary, secondary and other schools. "Many school officials will also be interested in knowing that more autos will be available for driver education programs this year than ever before—thanks to a leading car manufacturer's plan which provides for a special allowance to its dealers who loan new cars to high schools for training purposes," the Club said. Assistance League Outlines Fall and Winter Activities Mrs. Dick Heffern, president of the Anaheim Assistance League, called a board meeting at her home to formulate a work program for the fall and winter season. This was followed by a general meeting at the Greenbrier restaurant. Hostesses were Mmes. Homer Ames, Glen Peck, Sam Kraemer, H. B. Pearson and Mrs. H. D. Newkirk. Four new members were introduced as follows by Mrs. Fred Weisel: Mmes. Arthur Roquet, E. E. Smith, Emil Mittman and R. E. Donovan. A review of project cases of the past summer was given by Mrs. J. R. Patterson and Mrs. Leo Frils. Mrs. Arthur Elliott gave details of the building and remodeling plans for the new clubhouse and these were approved. Announcement was made that Mrs. Harry Nutt has been appointed to the national nominating committee. There are now 22 chapters in the national organization, she said. A report of Junior Assistance League activities was given by Mrs. Ross Walker. The next regular meeting was set for Oct. 13 with the Surrey According to figures just released by the Department of Commerce, waterborne foreign commerce through Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor in 1954 outstripped San Francisco in tonnage, dollar value and percentage of increase over 1953, it is reported by Jack Parkenson, Traffic Manager for the Port of Los Angeles. Total dry cargo exports and imports through Los Angeles—Long Beach Harbors came to 2,362,00 tons, an increase of 12½ per cent over 1953. San Francisco's tonnage for the same period was 1,218,000 tons, an increase of 1 per cent. Dollar value of Los Angeles Long Beach Harbors' foreign commerce was $522,000,000, an increase of 24 per cent over 1953 while San Francisco's dollar value was $50,000,000, an increase of per cent. Los Angeles Harbor accounted for 65 per cent of the total volume of the two Southern California Harbors, and 57½ per cent of total tonnage. Shopping Center Proposed in East Anaheim Section A new shopping center for residents of East Anaheim seems sure following recommendation by the City Planning Commission to the City Council that a 1-acre area at Placentia and Palma avenues be rezoned. Applicant for the rezoning Prudential Homes, Inc., 14 Anaheim-Olive Rd., which building 500 homes in the And, chances are, if I went to the Army chaplain contrite and full of remorse for having broken one of the Commandments, he would, by some devious and obscure admixture of logic, fancy, fact and theology, tell me that everything was OK because the government ordered me to do the deed, and that the Lord would fix everything up all right later on. No, the peoples of the world don't want the wars. It's the grand high nabobs. BUT BACK TO the interchange of visitors and information between the U.S. and Russia. I still think that the late great President Franklin D. Roosevelt hit the nail on the head when he said that the best propaganda weapon we could use against Russia to win the people over to our way of life would be to send each Russian family a copy of the Sears-Roebuck catalogue. Just to let them know what they're missing. NEWS STORIES about a "strange wild man" who has been running around through the hills and orange groves over around the Placentia-Atwood-Olive area, apparently living off the land, have appeared in the local press recently, and last Friday a deputy sheriff outran the fellow, apprehended him, and lodged him in the clink. The nondescript character said he was from Florida, but this I doubt. Probably an Orange county Democrat hiding out in the hills until after the 1956 elections. Quotas Committee Chairmen are Listening For Anaheim's 1955 United Fund Drive were announced this week, together with the quotas each division is expected to reach. Keith Murdoch, steering committee chairman, told the volunteer workers that "this year's effort must necessarily be our greatest. We must prove to everyone that the single-drive principle is the simplest and most economical approach to charity fund-raising." The Industrial division, headed by Ed Hawkins, Walt Miller and Bill Aldrich, were put in charge of Advance Gift budget of $18,240, plus an employees' quota of $12,-160. Local industry and business are co-operating through a payroll deduction plan for their personnel. Other chairmen and committees and their quotas are: Downtown Business — Ma Schumacher, Larry Henderen Ernie Rose and Max H Quota — $7700. Mayor Charles Pearson, C Cromer and Ted Payne, Adv Gifts: $23,820. Civic and Government — Betzsold, Don Derrr and Shanks. Quota — $7000.

It was announced this week. The Anaheim Area Industrial Group sponsors the classes in co-operation with the high school. "Those registering on an evenning between Sept. 19 and 22 have better assurance of getting into the class of their choice," said Walter E. Miller, chairman of the AAIG.

LES WHITE, general chairman of the Shrine Stag Caravan and Ceremonial in Las Vegas Sept. 16, 17, 18, shows plans for three day trek to desert to actress Constance Towers. Five thousand Shriners and candidates, including a sizable group from Orange county and Anaheim, will attend. Instruction Time in Double Sessions Said to Meet State School Standards Despite "double sessions" in the elementary schools this term, Anaheim students are receiving the state minimum of classroom instruction, Paul Cook, city school superintendent, told perplexed parents this week as the city's complex educational machine began to roll again. The minimum daily instruction time is as follows, Cook said: kindergarten, 130 minutes; first thru third grades,200 minutes, fourth through sixth, 240 minutes. The half-sessions are necessary, the superintendent said, because building schedules are running behind time. However, he added, additional classrooms would be ready for use in October, relieving the congestion somewhat. In all, 76 new classrooms are planned, and should be completed shortly after the first of the year. Total registration in the City school district as school opened Monday was 6318, 1600 more than were enrolled at the close of school in June. As for the High School district, Superintendent Paul Demaree said registration was up 1612 over last term. The figure this year for AUHS, Western Junior, and Fremont Junior high schools combined is 4992. At school's close in June it was 3380. Kwikset Promotes 72 Employee's Names of 72 employees of Kwikset Locks, Inc., who have received promotions recently at the Anaheim manufacturing firm were announced today by Adolf Schoepe, president. Midget Auto Racing Scheduled Sunday A 75-lap midget auto racing program, featuring 35 top chauffeurs of the United Racing association, will open daylight racing at the Huntington Beach Legion stadium Sunday afternoon, Sept. 18. Trials begin at 1 p.m., and the first race, a three-lap trophy dash, at 2:30. A 30-lap main event over the quarter-mile paved oval headlines the show. Leading the parade of top flight pilots will be Billy Garrett of Burbank, defending URA champion. Among his leading rivals for the day will be Don Edmonds of Anaheim, a comparative newcomer to racing, who has surprised veterans of the field with two victories in recent weeks. The show is being presented by Billy Cantrell of Anaheim, now retired from racing, and Norm Hall, both former stars of the racing world. Automobile Sales Hit New High For General Motors Retail sales of new General Motors passenger cars in the United States for the month of August were the highest in history for that period, President Harlow H. Curtice announced today. Retail deliveries of new GM cars last month totaled 337,956 or 146.1 per cent of the total for the same month of 1954. Retail sales of both new and used General Motors passenger cars in the United States during the first eight months of 1955 by far the highest for any class of their choice. Walter E. Miller, chairman of the AAIG. Classes will start either Sept. 26 or 27, Miller added. Registration fee is $1.00. The classroom instruction is designed to prepare students to fill better jobs in local industry, and to prepare them for specialized jobs and skills needed in industry. Classes to be offered include industrial organization, management, foremanship, quality control, production control, machine shop introduction to electronics, welding-brazing-soldering. With two exceptions, all classes will meet on Tuesday and Thursday day, 7 to 9 p.m. The class on management will meet on Monday only, 7 to 9 p.m. Machine shop is divided into two classes, one meeting Mondays and Wednesdays, to 10 p.m., the other Tuesday and Thursdays 7 to 10 p.m. More information may be obtained from the high-school office at the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.

Motors passenger cars in the United States for the month of August were the highest in history for that period, President Harlow H. Curtice announced today. Retail deliveries of new GM cars last month totaled 337,956 or 146.1 per cent of the total for the same month of 1954. Retail sales of both new and used General Motors passenger cars in the United States during the first eight months of 1955 were by far the highest for any similar period in history. Mr. Curtice said. The record eight-month sales totals reached by GM dealers were 2,597,332 new cars and 3,353,-471 used cars. Used car sales by GM dealers during the month of August totaled 437,595 or 131.7 per cent of the total for the month of August last year. Every GM passenger car division—Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac—posted new all-time sales records for new and used cars during the month of August and for the first eight months of the year. “This counter-seasonal trend in new car-sales is further indication of the strong market for General Motors' automotive products.” Curtice said. “Our cars are moving into the hands of the public at a substantially higher rate than in any previous time in the company's history and are in line with production schedules and retail sales estimates.” EXAMINATION SET Secretary of State Frank M.

Queen of Hallowe’en Will Be Chosen at Dance Oct. 8 If you have taken time to notice, despite the warm days of late, the evenings are getting noticeably shorter, and there is just the suspicion of Autumn in the air at nights. And, of course, for Anaheim, that means but one thing: it's high time to start laying the groundwork for the annual Hallowe’en parade and festival, the event which annually gives Anaheim nation-wide attention. Oscar Schultz, general chairman of the festival, has already started the ball rolling. This week eight teams of Anaheim young women began selling tickets to the first big event, the Hallowe’en Ball and Queen contest, to be staged Oct. 8 at the Elks club. At this event will be chosen a queen to reign over the festivities, and according to Mrs. Sam Gendel, chairman of the ball, Ray Midleton and his orchestra from Disneyland will be featured. Mrs. Charles Endicott, co-chairman of the ball and queen contest, announces that already a dozen candidates from Anaheim and neighboring communities have entered competition. Chairman of the ticket committee for the ball is Mrs. Warren Hollingsworth, who said the ticket-selling "teams were composed of the following young ladies: Mrs. Penny Pallin, Mrs. Al Cotler, Mrs. Gerry Glover, Mrs. William Guzzardo, Mrs. Edward Real, Mrs. Ted Williams, Mrs. Robert Helinz, Mrs. Theo De Velbis, Mrs. Wesley Osborn, Mrs. John Beeson, Mrs. Richard Young, Mrs. Donald Bates, Mrs. Jack Baldwin, Mrs. William Hayze, Mrs. Wes Weaver, and Mrs. Fern La Follette. Prospective candidates for the honored title of Queen are reminded that they have until Sept. 24 Placentia Mutual In Merger with La Habra Citrus Placentia Mutual Orange association and the La Habra Citrus association have completed a merger, it has been announced by Robert Dowling, general manager of Placentia Mutual. The ever increasing cost of picking, packing, shipping and selling citrus fruits was given as reason for the merger. The decision of the respective boards of directors to merge is based on the proven fact that a volume operation is necessary to combat these mounting costs. The merger of these two orange and lemon packing houses will make Placentia Mutual Orange Association the largest volume operation for packing oranges and lemons in the United States. The La Habra Citrus Association owns valuable industrial properties in La Habra, and an orderly liquidation of the association's assets will be started in the near future. Lloyd C. Blackwell, manager of the La Habra Citrus, will be charged with the responsibility of handling the affairs of the association during the period of transition. Modern Plant The Placentia Mutual plant is modern in every respect with ample capacity to handle a large volume of citrus. The recently completed pre-cooler has proved its value and added materially to the shipping facilities. Evidence of this is that nearly all of the citrus packed at the Mutual house is sold on an F.O.B. basis to a long list of buyers who over the years have built up complete confidence in the Shamrock brand. Good Production The La Habra Citrus Association has felt the full impact of subdivision encroachment; however, a very satisfactory production of good citrus is still in the area. Penny Palin, Mrs. Al Coltler, Mrs. Gerry Glover, Mrs. William Guzardo, Mrs. Edward Real, Mrs. Ted Williams, Mrs. Robert Heinz, Mrs. Theo De Velbis, Mrs. Wesley Osborn, Mrs. John Beeson, Mrs. Richard Young, Mrs. Donald Bates, Mrs. Jack Baldwin, Mrs. William Hayze, Mrs. Wes Weaver, and Mrs. Fern La Follette. Prospective candidates for the honored title of Queen are reminded that they have until Sept. 24 to put in their applications. Entry blanks are available at the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, 136 N. Los Angeles St. In addition to reigning over all festivities of the festival and riding in regal splendor on her own float in the parade, this year's queen will be scheduled for a television appearance. Schultz said that plans were already in the making for 32 floats and estimated that the parade would be about a mile long. The traditional costume breakfast on the morning of Oct. 29, store window art contest for the kids, kiddles parade, and other hi-jinks will be climaxed by the big evening parade. Metropolitan to Increase Water To Orange County The Metropolitan Water District board of directors has awarded two contracts for pipe line construction in the amount of $8,766,-303, it was announced today by Robert B. Diemer, general manager and chief engineer of the district. Diemer said that this pipe line construction is a part of the $85 million aqueduct expansion program now being pushed forward by the district to meet the tremendous increase in demand for Colorado river water. "The almost incredible growth of Southern California in both population and industry makes it imperative that the Metropolitan Water District expand its facilities to meet the increased need for water," Diemer declared. The contracts awarded this week call for the construction of approximately 11.57 miles of pipe line beginning at a point near the east boundary of Los Angeles. County Office of Civil Defense to comply with New Signal Directive Steps were taken today by the Orange County Office of Civil Defense toward compliance with a general directive which requires public action signals to be sounded in case of yellow or stand-by alert. Issued by Governor Goodwin Knight through State CD Director Stanley Plerson, this week, the order requires all incorporated cities and civil defense ordinating offices to blow civil defense warning horns and sirens at the event the Western Air Defense Command determines an enemy attack against California probable. Changes Agreement The new order changes an agreement between civil defense areas of Los Angeles and Orange counties which has been in effect a number of months to the fact that the yellow alert or stand-by signal would only be used to notify key personnel such as fire, police, school administrators and civil defense workers. Under the new directive, all defense warning devices including horns and city county fire sirens will sound an alarm consisting of three to five minutes of continuous tone which will mobilize all key civil defense workers to their assignments. This will also notify the general public that preparations should be begun immediately toward finding a place of safety and to assemble family survival kits and first-aid packs. Cities Aid in Compliance Aiding in compliance with the new directive from state headquarters are all 15 incorporated cities of Orange county who have been contacted by the County Office of Civil Defense. In each of the cities, key officials have been notified of the change in signal orders and will prepare CD horns and fire sirens for the alert. In announcing the signal change Assistant CD Director R. L. (Continued from Page A-2) The almost incredible growth of Southern California in both population and industry makes it imperative that the Metropolitan Water District expand its facilities to meet the increased need for water." Dielmer declared. The contracts awarded this week call for the construction of approximately 11.57 miles of pipe line beginning at a point near the east boundary of Los Angeles county and extending westerly to Garfield avenue between Firestone boulevard and Southern avenue in the city of South Gate. The pipe line is to be constructed of 79 inch diameter welded steel pipe with spun mortar lining and reinforced gunite exterior coating and will contain 20,000 tons of steel. It will be a part of the District's lower feeder line and primarily will serve to reinforce Orange county water supplies. Sixth Graders Name Three New Schools From names submitted by sixth graders, three new Anaheim elementary schools have been officially named by school trustees. The school under construction on West La Palma will be officially designated as John Marshall school; that on Palm Lane, naturally, will be called Palm Lane school, and the one being constructed on Vermont street will be called Theodore Roosevelt school. Among the suggestions for names submitted by the sixth graders was that of Walt Disney.
