EDITORIALS A Look at Orange County Politics Coming Straight from the "Hart" (By George E. Hart) The present primary campaign bore an unusually large crop of candidates, but this apparently does not mean dissatisfaction with incumbents, as sometimes happens. On the contrary, so far as political observers can make out, this looks like an incumbent's year. Such officials as Victor Heim, the county auditor; Ivan Swanger, county treasurer; Don Mozley, the tax collector, and Sheriff Jim Musick, all have opponents who are likely to get little beyond a sound trouncing. Another incumbent with a contest going is Superior Judge Ronald M. Crookshank, and again it is widely believed that the voters will see no reason for ousting a capable judge like Crookshank, who has been working like a horse to help clear up congestion in Superior Court calendars. His opponent, Municipal Judge Walter Chaffee of Fullerton, is expected to run strongly in his home area and perhaps in Garden Grove, where he was born, though there are thousands of new voters in both cities who do not know or care where any candidate was born. But Chaffee amazed some people by giving up his Municipal Court judgeship to gamble on election to the Superior Court bench, which pays relatively little more salary. And he shocked some others who regard what they call political ethics because, after accepting appointment to Municipal Court from the Governor he is now trying to oust another Governor's appointees, Judge Crookshank. Judge Crookshank also is a native of the county, from IN THE DAY OF LONG AGE 75 Years Ago... May — 1883 Misfortune came to the second egg manufactured by the ostriches. It was dropped in the night time and was found broken in the morning, having been trampled on by the birds. As each egg is valued at $100, the loss is far from being a bagatele. The ostrich farm is now permanently located on what is known as the Ellis place on Los Coyotes. The first serious accident at the ostrich farm happened last Saturday. The largest and finest looking of the male birds is possessed of a most ferocious temper, and as the only animate object within reach is his female companion, her lot has been a most unhappy one, as the male has worked off his superfluous bile by fighting her viciously. On the day mentioned he was more than ordinarily ill tempered, and he gave his mate such a severe kicking as to break her leg and she shortly afterward died. It is said that no instance is known of an ostrich recovering after having its leg broken. Hereafter the belligerent bird will be kept alone in his paddock. The value of the bird killed was $1500. A veritable case of riding a free horse to death is given in the But Chaffee amazed some people by giving up his Municipal Court judgeship to gamble on election to the Superior Court bench, which pays relatively little more salary. And he shocked some others who regard what they call political ethics because, after accepting appointment to Municipal Court from the Governor he is now trying to oust another Governor's appointees, Judge Crookshank. Judge Crookshank also is a native of the county, from a pioneer family. His grandfather was one of the three men who organized the legislative drive that created Orange County in 1889. Crookshank's appointment to the Superior Court Bench last September was the first to be made from Santa Ana in 17 years. During that time two Superior Court judgeships went to northern Orange County and one to Newport Beach. Newport Beach got another last September and one appointment went to Tustin. Another judicial race showing spice is that for Municipal Court, Anaheim-Fullerton District, the seat vacated by Chaffee. Six are in the scramble. Two Fullerton entrants, Lloyd Verry and Warren Ferguson, and an Anaheim candidate, Assistant District Attorney Max V. Eliason, seem to be getting the most attention. A November run-off naturally seems inevitable. If Verry and Ferguson split the Fullerton area vote, it might well be Anaheim's man, Eliason, in there with one of them. Eliason, a family man, the father of six, is especially interested in relationship between the courts and family life. He has served as a Juvenile Court judge and has had a good look at many of these problems. Two County Supervisors, Chairman Willis Warner in the Second District and Heinz Kaiser in the Fifth, are having some campaign trouble, but both seem to be holding strong positions. Warner, who had no opposition for years, suddenly finds three on his hands: George DeFord, Jack Van Beek and David L. Baker. Whether they can force him into a November run-off remains to be seen. Kaiser is opposed by Roy Maypole, the TV man, in a campaign that is developing some acidity over such matters as the Upper Bay Recreation development. The honor farm issue is being discussed on both supervisorial campaigns. A Great Stride Forward Passage of the Smathers Bill (S. 3778) to modernize A veritable case of riding a free horse to death is given in the abuse of the water privileges afforded by the town of Anaheim. It has placed a watering trough where everyone can give his animal a drink, and the reward of its philanthropy, is that scarcely a week passes that the water is not turned on and left running until the 20,000 gallon tank is drained. The public watering trough ought either to be abolished or moved to some locality where it will be under continual inspection. Rt. Rev. Wm. Ingraham Kip, D.D., LLD., Bishop of this diocese, has been appointed one of the examiners at West Point and will leave to discharge the duty early in June. A few years ago the Bishop received a similar appointment at the Naval Academy. It is a high tribute to his learning and reputation that two such appointments should be received within so brief a space of time. On Friday, May 18th, the Episcopal church that Tustin City, will be consecrated, the Rev. Mr. Birdsall of Los Angeles preaching the sermon, and the Revs. Trew and Linsley assisting the Rector in the services. The hour 3 P.M. The following Sunday there will be an ordination to the Priesthood in St. Paul's church, Tustin City, being the first time such a service has ever been held in Southern California. Rev. Trew will present the candidate and together with Rev. G. G. Lines and others unite in laying on of hands. This service will begin at 11 A.M. In the afternoon at 4 P.M., the apostolic rite of confirmation will be administered by the Bishop at St. Michael's church the candidates from various parts of the Mission coming here for that purpose. A Great Stride Forward Passage of the Smathers Bill (S. 3778) to modernize the Interstate Commerce Act is essential to the nation's economic welfare and national security. S. 3778 (now in the Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce) is designed to strengthen and improve the national transportation system. It reflects realistic consideration of the changing times with which much of the Act has not kept pace. In time of peace as well as in wartime the nation must have strong transport of all types. But, the Nation can not and should not bolster and sustain by preferential or restrictive treatment any form or forms of transportation at the expense of another and vital form. S.3778, enacted into law, would contribute importantly to stabilizing and strengthening the national transportation system. It will free the railroads — backbone of national transportation — from much unfair and uneconomic regulation and restriction. Pasage of S. 3778 will mark a great stride forward in resolving one of the gravest national problems of our times, and one worthy of everyone's concern. The Indians encountered by the first Europeans in Massachusetts belonged to the Algonquin linguistic stock, and occupied the large area ranging from the Maritime Provinces of Canada to the Gulf of Florida and as far west as the Mississippi.

May — 1908 Chester Spencer has completed the school census of Anaheim school district and finds a total of 739 children of school age in the district, between 5 and 17 years. Of this number, 419 are boys and 320 girls. The increase over the census of a year ago is 100. The total number of all children in the district under 17 years of age is 1061. Mrs. Carrie Ford has completed the school census of Fullerton school district and finds 371 children of school age between 5 and 17 years of age, and the number of all children under 17 years of age 505.

Mr. Pierotti is a self-made man, and is one of the most highly respected residents of Placentia. Coming here in 1874 he secured employment as zanjero for the Water Company, and was subsequently elected superintendent. He was one of the most efficient men ever in the employ of the company. He was later elected a director of the company, and was again an able and clear-headed official. He owns one of the best orange and walnut plantations at Placentia and is a director in a Fullerton bank. His friends, and they are legion, extend best wishes for a happy voyage and safe return. The annual election of directors of the Anaheim Building and Loan Association resulted in the selection of the following directorate: Fred Backs, Ferdinand Backs, Joseph Backs, Sr., August Backs, Henry Adams, C. F. Grim, Frank Baum, N. F. Steadman, August Schumacher, Herman Stern, H. A. Dickel. The election of officers will occur the first Monday in June. J. B. Rae visited the bean fields of El Modena on Tuesday, and found the plantations a veritable hive of industry. Beans and peas are being shipped to Los Angeles and San Francisco by carload daily.

With the exception of the automobile and steel industries, business is at a higher point than it was in 1956 which was our second best year in the history of the country. In the State of California business on the average is only 1% below 1957 which was our highest year, and if the automobile industry were eliminated from the composite figures, general business in our state would be about 10% above that of last year. The construction industry in California is 30% above 1957, and in Orange County it is about 60% ahead of last year, but this is an election year, and both major political parties attempt to excel each other in proposing quick remedies. In most cases the cure or the remedy is worse than the malady. Most of the proposed remedies would result in increasing the tempo of the inflation spiral which is without doubt the most threatening thing to the future of America.

A week we are considering message of the extension of "library" unemployment ben-ept only for those who have used their benefit rights state and federal laws, but those individuals who have never been covered by unemployment compensation. I expect the bill will be passed, but hope that the President will veto it. It provides for an additional 16 weeks' unemployment compensation as a direct grant from the federal treasury, without any obligation upon the various states, nor does it require the various states to do anything for themselves. It will cost a billion and a half dollars. The states presently have a reserve of nine-billion dollars in unemployment insurance funds. The State of California has one billion dollars on reserve. There is no requirement that these reserve funds be exhausted before the federal treasury makes its contribution. The bill completely ignores the sound and honored principles of unemployment compensation. There is no employer or employee contribution, and no standard or normal requirement set out in the bill. It purports to be for the purpose of relieving human distress, and yet there is no requirement that the individual beneficiary show any need for such relief.
