Government Spending Won’t Bring About Everlasting Prosperity Orlo M. Brees, Anaheim Rotary club speaker Monday noon, brought members to attention when he stated that one-third of our national income is taken from us for taxes. Brees, a public relations representative of the National Association of Manufacturers, made the following statements in his talk in Anaheim: "Somehow, over the years," Brees said, "many people have become convinced that government spending is, in itself, a good thing for the country. Of course, all governments always have spent some money. But these people now believe that the more the government spends the better off we are. Today, our federal, state and local governments are spending together one-third of our entire national income—after first taking it out of our earnings in taxes." Hits Reckless Spending "President Eisenhower recently said 'Government cannot guarantee prosperity . . . Reckless expenditure in the name of economic stimulation is both wrong and self defeating.'" To those who nevertheless still believe that government spending is nexessarily a good thing," Brees continued, "I would like further to point out that even with a third of the national income being spent by government, we are in a recession. If a third won't assure everlasting prosperity, how much government spending will assure it? Must we spend half our national income through A Necessary Burden "Government is a burden that borne by the economy and the citizens. It is a necessary burden, but it should be kept as possible. "It is easy to see that no great sentiment for government economy has developed in Washington. That means that it is up to the taxpayers all over the country to demand an end to excessive spending. “If you look at the situation squarely, using your own intelligence and not relying on the arguments of the special pleaders, you will see that economy can be promoted by leaving tax more unclaimed by the federal government so that the states and local governments can improve upon the job that they have done well since the beginnings of the republic. Eliminate — Cut Down "And you will note that the elimination of new programs and cutting down existing ones will remove some of the burden high federal taxation, debt and government - sponsored inflation that have selped cause the recession and have slowed our recovery." In concluding Brees said "Greater government spending means more taxes, now or later. If we tax now, greater government spending means higher prices, because taxes are reflected in everything we buy. If we take it later to pay off the debt th..." And here's a little boy story submitted by a reader: After several hours of fishing, the little boy suddenly threw down his pole and cried "I quit." "What's the matter?" his father asked. "Nothing," said the child, "except I can't seem to get waited on." Governor Goodwin Knight is evidently following former President Truman's pattern. He played a piano duet with Disneyland Gourmet pianist and waltzed with a good-looking thrush who was entertaining the group. Today we know how heart attacks or coronaries come about, but not why. And I'm just like the little boy, I'd like to know "Why, Doc?" Well, of all things! The Anaheim Lions Club has presented to Paul King of the Southern Counties Gas Company, a badge and ribbon for being the official objector of the club. Now, if that was in Rotary, we'd run out of ribbons. However, Paul hurries to explain that he's the one who points out to new members the objects of Lionism. Those Lions don't do things like Rotarians do. One thing the four cent first class postage charge has done for newspaper editors is reduce the amount of publicity coming by mail to their desks. So when I apply a four-cent stamp I don't bang it with my fist. I pat it gently with my index finger. The little stamp is saving me a little work each week. I had breakfast with three bankers the other morning. The first thing one of them said when the waitress came to take our orders was: "Put these orders on separate checks". Well, can you imagine such hospitality? I felt like I had been turned down for a loan. Al Cotler, of Cotler's Mens Store, is not a walking fashion model for his store. He came to lunch the other noon at the Elks and self defeating." To those who nevertheless still believe that government spending is nessarily a good thing," Brees continued, "I would like further to point out that even with a third of the national income being spent by government, we are in a recession. If a third won't assure everlasting prosperity, how much government spending will assure it? Must we spend half our national income through government? Or must we spend all? I hope these questions will demonstrate the absurdity of the idea that we can all be rich by taxing ourselves and then letting the government spend our money. 80 Night Classes Offered Adults by Local High School Over 80 classes will be offered to adults this fall by the Anaheim evening high school.

S1 Million Project Is Planned For Chapman College ORANGE, Aug. 28 — Chapman College today advertised for bid on the construction of two student residence halls at the end of Center Street, north of the Chapman stadium. Al Cotler, of Coller's Mens Store, is not a walking fashion model for his store. He came to lunch the other noon at the Elks Club without a coat on. And there I was sweating under the discomfort of a coat! This one is really for the dogs, but go ahead and read it: The dog population has soared from 13½ million in 1939 to some 26 million today. Who said this country isn't going to the dogs? Monday is Labor Day. That means we labor to get where we are going. We labor to get a place to stand when we get there and we labor to get back home to go to work Tuesday and labor for the boss. Hurrah for Labor Day. Our favorite restaurant waitress, Berthle, at Brick's Cafe told us about the woman who was so stuck up she spelled her dog, Fido's name Phydoux.

National Child Safety Week Is September 2-9 September 2-9 is National Child Safety Week. In the light of alarming rises in the accident rate in recent years — particularly among children—families throughout the nation should be giving more thoughts to ways of reducing hazards in and around the home. Home accidents cause one death every eighteen minutes, a non-fatal injury every thirteen seconds. Among the nation's more than 17,000,000 children under six years of age, accidents cause more deaths than disease! A few simple safety practices at home could sharply reduce the number of child accidents. 1) Kitchen accidents are most prevalent. Keep knives and other sharp instruments in a rack or neatly aligned in a drawer. Turn pot handles in so children can't reach them. Use non-inflammable liquids for kitchen cleaning. Never permit a child to be alone near a refrigerator or freezer; a dozen or more youngsters each year crawl into refrigerators and die 2,000 Students Seek For Orange Coast An estimated 2000 students attend Orange Coast College fall, according to enrollment data released by Charles H. associate dean, admissions records.

Hire an Apprentice month, was reported by Edward P. Park; director of the Department of Industrial Relations and Administrator of Apprenticeship. 820 apprentices were registered during the month and registrations were still coming in. In appreciation for the wonderful job management and labor and industry have been doing in training young people to meet the needs of California's growth, Governor Goodwin J. Knight proclaimed July Apprenticeship Month, with the theme being 'hire an apprentice.' Director Park said, "Everyone pitched in to help make the proclamation a success. Trade and association magazines with special articles encouraged their members to hire an apprentice; the press, with editorials and news items, and joint apprenticeship committees by making special calls on their employers. This type of cooperation and response to the Governor's proclamation, Park said, "is assurance that California wifi maintain a good supply of skilled craftsmen. Through joint apprenticeship committees, the apprentice program offers an unequalled program for the youth of our state to learn a trade and become good citizens, gainfully employed with higher standards of living." California Leads Charles F. Hanna, chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, reported to Director Park that there are at present approximately 19,000 registered apprentices in over 300 different occupations. Despite the recent economic setback, California is still number one in the nation, with 4,000 more apprentices than second place New York. "To all of you," Park appealed, "who are in a position to hire an apprentice and have not done so, let's carry the 'hire an apprentice' theme over into August and give 820 more young persons the opportunity to learn a trade."

"Increasing the income maximum would drive weak residents and big business to Nada or Florida, where there is state income tax," he noted, "this would be disastrous for working citizens." Explaining that the State Board of Equalization administers 63 percent of the state's taxes, the principal one being the sales tax, David gave the Rotary Club so heartening statistics. These showed that Oregon County had an increase of $ million in taxable transactions the first quarter of 1958 as compared with the same period last year, while business in the state as a whole showed a slight decline. The man who achieved the first airplane flight in Canada was John A. D. McCurdy in 1909.
