Culter and Parker of Westminster are building a buckboard for Mr. Cowan of this place, which possesses many novel points. The running gear is all iron, and while strength and solidity are thus gained, it is not at the expense of weight. A wagon of the same strength, made after the usual model, would weigh nearly twice as much as this one. It was designed by Mr. Culter, a gentleman who seems to have the faculty of getting out of the beaten rut of things and originating improvements. These buckboards can be sold very cheap, and the Messrs. Culter and Parker can turn them out on short notice. Go East, Young Man M. J.

President’s Message For Newspaper Week It is a pleasure to join you in the 22nd annual observance of National Newspaper Week. The 1961 theme: "Your Newspaper—Heritage of Truth—Frontier of Freedom" is particularly appropriate in these hazardous times. Press restrictions in countries dominated by our adversaries have increased in severity. Yet in our free and open society we rightly regard secrecy and arbitrary press restrictions as the first refuge of incompetents. We want this government to be a seat of ideas, a place for healthy debate, without any official newspaper and without any official censorship. No government can long maintain the support and confidence of its citizens unless its policies and actions, for better or worse, are known, understood and critically examined. This is primarily the role of the press—and whatever handicaps it imposes are far outweighed by its essential benefits. Moreover, along with our unaltered belief in the freedom of the press, this country has always recognized that freedom and responsibility is anarchy. In observing National Newspaper Week we are keenly aware of the heavy responsibilities born by our newspapers and our newspapermen, whose reports are studied, reprinted and translated around the world. Vigilance coupled with responsibility on the part of newspapers, as recorders of man's deeds, keepers of his conscience and couriers of his news, will give man Culter and Parker can turn them out on short notice. Go East, Young Man M. J. Snodgrass received a letter on Monday from John Taylor, conveying the information of his and Mrs. Taylor's safe arrival in Arkansas. "Uncle John" thinks of locating in Texarkana, a thriving railroad town in that state. Its rather peculiar name is a combination of syllables from the names Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana.

In observing National Newspaper Week we are keenly aware of the heavy responsibilities born by our newspapers and our newspapermen, whose reports are studied, reprinted and translated around the world. Vigilance coupled with responsibility on the part of newspapers, as recorders of man's deeds, keepers of his conscience and couriers of his news, will give man strength and assistance to be free and independent.

MORIES stock may be productive of serious consequences. Only two thousand shares are to be sold and we are told that fifteen hundred are already taken. Those who are not stockholders in the company will not, under any circumstances, be allowed water through the company's ditches, so that to put off purchasing a share for each acre it is desired to irrigate, is to run a risk which may entail ruin in the dilatory. 58 YEARS AGO October, 1903 Tally-Ho, Western Style This week's hunt of the Santiago Fox club in the Santiago canyon was one of the most successful ever held.

Keepers of the Beer Deputy Sheriff Harry Carter was formed to fight a band of geese Sunday night, in Stanton, in order to obtain the evidence he wanted in a liquor case, but the geese were routed and Carter brought in 500 bottles of beer, together with a prisoner, Basilo Villasenor, 36, who is being held in the county jail on a charge of possession of liquor. While searching the property, Carter located 300 bottles of beer in sacks inside the geese pen, he said, but when he attempted to get it he was attacked by the geese, he reported. "It seemed as if the geese knew they were to protect the stuff," Carter declared. Flashing a light at the fowls did no good and he was forced to get a big stick and beat them off as he carried the liquor out of the pen, he said.

Mahaffie has been elected to executive committee of Orange County chapter, National Foundation, representing the Anaheim area for March of Dimes. Many people have been using the '0' or operator number for emergency calls during the past, anyhow," Heth explained. "We'll still have the '116' trunks available for a period of time, but people will find it easier to place all of their emergency calls through the operator. Certain equipment changes are now in progress to make this simplified emergency calling possible." All Prefixes The new directories also will include all-numerical prefixes for official telephone numbers, such as the business offices. The correct time number also has been changed. Instead of UL 3-1212, the correct time will be 853-1212. However, Heth pointed out, there is no change in the dialing operation. Instead of using letters and numbers, the person dials numbers only. Heth said the reason for changing these prefixes to numbers is part of a gradual swing to seven-figure telephone numbers in California and across the country.

City To Host U.S. Voting officials in five of the state's 13 most heavily populated counties say there has been a noticeable increase in voter switches from Democratic to Republican, probably because of a plea by former Gov. Goodwin J. Knight. The Anaheim Gazette led all state publications in advocating that disgruntled Democrats change their registration to Republican and support Knight in the primaries. During the festival week youngsters will display their artistic talents, using the windows of downtown shops for giant canvases; the businessmen get into the act, decorating interiors with goblins and witches, and normal dress is a costume—any costume, as long as it's colorful and "Hallowenish."

Lechner, executive director of the Americanism Educational League, and a recognized foe of the communist conspiracy, will present his thought-provoking Sen. Kuchel to Give Major Society Address United States Senator Thomas Kuchel of Anaheim has taken "California Perspective" as the topic of his talk before the California Historical Society at its meeting today in San Francisco. Kuchel's topic is well taken, since it was his great-uncle Charles Christopher Kuchel, together with Emil Dresel, who produced the series of prints of 19th century California scenes which connoisseurs consider the rival of Currier and Ives in technical excellence and topical interest. A selection of Kuchel and Dresel prints from the Society's large collection will be on display at the luncheon, Kuchel City to Use Rockets for Tests Rockets will be fired today to determine if they can be used as a method of warning citizens of impending nuclear attack or disaster.
