IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO OWN YOUR OWN HOME—AND YOUR AMERICAN RIGHT! A4—Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, Thursday, March 9, 1961 GARDENER’S CHECKLIST FOR MARCH 9 TO MARCH 15 (Prepared by the California Association of Nurserymen) 1. Prune spring flowering deciduous shrubs after they finish blooming—or while they are blooming if you want the color in your home. 2. Watch new growth on roses for signs of aphis. For best control, start spraying as soon as new growth appears. 3. Start a privet hedge this month. It will grow by leaps and bounds if you keep it watered when the rains have gone. 4. Perennials that weren’t divided last fall can still be divided now. 5. Use bait to stop the new crop of snails and slugs before it increases any further. Business Show Opens March 14 All About Dogo Befriend or Be Bitten More than 100,000 dog bites Hundreds of business machines, duplicators, office furniture items and related material will be on display at the eighth annual Orange County Business Show which will be open free to the public at Santa Ana College on March 14-15. Cook Gymnasium will be crowded with the latest equinox. Tuesday Feted As Arbor Day If anyone needs an excuse to All About Dogs Befriend or Be Bitten More than 100,000 dog bites were reported in the country last year. The number remains a dull statistic — until some growling canine fixes a hungry eye on you! Then comes the impulse to run for the hills — but don't. Never run away. Even if a barking dog is charging directly at you, hold your ground. Agreed, it takes a bit of courage but if you panic, your flight will convince him that you have bad intentions and should be bitten — and you will be. Talk to him in a reassuring way. If you know the dog's name, repeat it frequently as this is the one word he is sure to understand. If you don't know his name, just a "good boy" or "good dog" is reassuring. "Watch those hands," warns Clarence C. Fawcett at the Purina Dog Care Center. Keep them visible but out of his reach. And avoid any sudden jerky movements. If the dog seems willing to make friends, extend your hand very slowly. Never extend the hand with the fingers outstretched. Rather, make a fist of your hand and offer the back of it. If he should suddenly bite — this lessons the danger of a crippling injury. Don't shout. Using a loud tone of voice will enrage a belligerent dog and intimidate a shy one. Talk to him in a normal soothing manner. Dogs have deservedly earned their reputation as man's best friend. A little forethought and effort by non-dog owners and particularly, by dog owners, can prevent the relatively few temperamental ones from tarnishing that reputation. Hundreds of business machines, duplicators, office furniture items and related material will be on display at the eighth annual Orange County Business Show which will be open free to the public at Santa Ana College on March 14-15. Cook Gymnasium will be crowded with the latest equipment, a highlight of the college's Business and Industry Days. Thousands of campus visitors are expected to view the business exposition and participate in campus activity during the week. The observance is co-sponsored by the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, Santa Ana Junior Chamber of Commerce, and more than 30 countywide professional, business and educational organizations. A sponsors' preview for members of these groups will be held Monday, March 13, from 7 to 10 p.m. The hours for the public on Tuesday and Wednesday are noon to 10 p.m. USE GAZETTE CLASSIFIED ADS Phone PR 2-1800 ANAHEIM TRUCK & TRANSFER CO.

Tuesday March 7, was the birthday of California's famed horticulturist, Luther Burbank. Since 1909 the state has celebrated it as Arbor Day. Traditionally, Arbor Day has been observed by school children who study about conservation and occasionally plant trees. Many's the weathered old tree that stands today as a living reminder of some class project on some long-gone Arbor Day.

UTT President Kennedy has just signed his first bill into law. It was a most fitting piece of legislation. It provided for the re-enactment of the inauguration ceremonies of Abraham Lincoln on the 4th day of March, 1961, its hundredth anniversary. This was re-enacted with all accuracy, including the spoken word, the costumes and the horse-drawn carriages. The part of President Lincoln was played by John Charles Collison. A replica of the inaugural stand was erected on the East Front of the Capitol. The background was slightly different, as in 1861 the dome of the Capitol was not completed. The State of California had only been in existence as a state for 10 years, and yet its contribution to the Lincoln administration and the preservation of the Union was outstanding. A young Unitarian minister by the name of Thomas Starr King had just arrived in San Francisco. Savings Firms Honors Six for 5 Years' Service Six members of the Art staff of Home Saving Loan Association were honored by the association their years of service will company.

Friday Feted Arbor Day Fragrance of Viburnum Is Heady, Sweet If you've whiffed the heady one needs an excuse to Tuesday Feted Arbor Day Fragrance of Viburnum Is Heady, Sweet If you've whiffed the heady fragrance of a Viburnum in bloom, you've savored one of nature's sweetest gifts to the gardener. And if you don't long for it in your own garden, then there's something wrong with your sense of smell. On the other hand, you don't have to smell Viburnums to enjoy them. Their waxy heads of bloom, some of them not unlike a giant Daphne, are reason enough to plant them. And some Viburnums, notably the familiar Snowball tree, have no fragrance anyway. We plant and enjoy them solely for their looks. The Burkwood and Carlesi Viburnums, similar in bloom and in the heavenly fragrance they impart, are among the best known of the family in California. Both are usually deciduous, but the former is more nearly evergreen in mild winters. Carlesi is rangier in habit, growing to eight feet or more. Durkwood is the more compact, shrubbing out to six feet in width and only five or six feet tall. Both bear their fragrant flower heads in spring. The Common Snowball, a star performer in anybody's garden, can become, literally, a mass of white blooms the size of tennis balls each spring. And in fall before shedding its leaves, a Snowball gives a lovely show of red autumn color—even in our mild California weather. Evergreen Viburnums are planted as much—and occasionally more—for their foliage as for their bloom. The Sandankwa Viburnum, however, is recommended for both foliage and bloom, and as an added bonus, its fragrance ground was slightly different, as in 1861 the dome of the Capitol was not completed. The State of California had only been in existence as a state for 10 years, and yet its contribution to the Lincoln administration and the preservation of the Union was outstanding. A young Unitarian minister by the name of Thomas Starr King had just arrived in San Francisco from Boston the year before. He was a very young man with an abiding faith that the destiny of this country demanded the preservation of the Union. By the time of Lincoln's inauguration, some states had already seceded and there was a great deal of agitation in California for secession. Many of these secessionists did not want to join the Southern Confederacy, but wished to re-establish the Bear Flag Republic which had existed for a short time prior to statehood. (California had become a state without the normal territorial transitional period.) Washington's birthday of this year marked the 100th anniversary of Thomas Starr King's first speech in his crusade to keep California in the Union. I had the pleasure of participating in a ceremony with many of my colleagues in placing a wreath at the statue of Reverend King in Statuary Hall, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons of California, of which King was an active member. Thomas Starr King was an unexcelled orator. He rode up and down the length and breadth of the great State of California on horseback, cruading for the Union cause, and to him must go the credit for keeping California in the Union. Reverend King was also a great humanitarian and raised a million and a quarter dollars for the Sanitary Commission, which was the forerunner of the Red Cross. This was an amount equal to 25 percent of the total money raised by the Union for Red Cross services. This was an astounding great man. Some 30 years later, hysteria and emotion play a minor role, the Legislature the State of California deserves that a statue of Thomas Starr King be placed in the Star Hall of our Nation's Capitol the second of two great forlans, the first being F. Junipero Serra. VISITORS: Signing guest book in recent weeks were David H. Thompson Anahelm, Irvin C. Chapman Fullerton, Norman E.

ANAHEIM KE 5-5450 And in fall before shedding its leaves, a Snowball gives a lovely show of red autumn color—even in our mild California weather. Evergreen Viburnums are planted as much—and occasionally more—for their foliage as for their bloom. The Sandankwa Viburnum, however, is recommended for both foliage and bloom, and as an added bonus, its fragrance is heavenly. This fine, shrub serves equally well as a specimen, as an informal hedge or as a screen. Others to be found include Sweet Viburnum, Leatherleaf Viburnum and Laurestinus Viburnum, the latter an old-fashioned favorite with many a veteran gardener. These are all evergreen, all fragrant and all worth growing in your garden. Reverend King was also a great humanitarian and raised a million and a quarter dollars for the Sanitary Commission, which was the forerunner of the Red Cross. This was an amount equal to 25 percent of the total money raised by the Union for Red Cross services. This was an astounding amount of money for an individual to raise without the help of television, telephone, radio, telethons, or helicopters to transport him from one place to another, and in a state whose population at that time was not much more than the city of Long Beach. Due to physical exhaustion of his great crusade, in fair weather and foul, he contracted diphtheria and died at the close of the Civil War. He had been a resident of our great state for a period of only five years. He had no public relations firms to popularize him, no TV or movies to glamorize him, and no personal possessions to set him apart, but he did have a principle to which he gave his highest devotion. His death produced greater impact upon our state than has the death of any man before or since. The State Legislature adjourned for a period of time in honor of his memory. The San Francisco Mint was closed, as was every business house in the state of California, for a period of mourning and tribute to this. Savings Firms Honors Six for Years' Service Six members of the Anaheim staff of Home Savings and Loan Association were recently honored by the association for their years of service with the company.

Wintertime When all aloud the wind doth blow And coughing drowns the parson's swu And birds sit brooding in the snow And Marian's nose looks red and raw. When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl. Then nightly sings the staring owl. — SHAKESPEARE Truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold... For the height of this sort of deliciousness is to have notting but the blanket between you and your snugness and the cold of the outer air.
