Marsh Tells Local World's Largest Blow Molding machine at Engineered Plastics Company, Inc., Anaheim Anahein VOLUME 90, NUMBER 28 Phone PR 2-1800 Personal Formula to Fight Reds Presented by Pinkley Hard-Hitting Editor-Publisher Points CC Prexy Similar To Mayor Barney Jordan Tells CC Personal Formula to Fight Reds Presented by Pinkley Hard-Hitting Editor-Publisher Points To Economic Gains Made in Europe Virgil Pinkley, editor and publisher of The Gazette, yesterday in Anaheim advanced a personal formula for fighting Communism in an address before the Anaheim Rotary Club and guests from throughout the county. "Strong family units, Christian ideals and prayer are the things that would put this nation in a position where no power on earth could challenge us," he said as climax to his talk at Disneyland Hotel. Pinkley, who recently returned Stateside from a tour of Europe, compared American youth and American economy with the youth and economy in European countries. Europe is more prosperous today than at any other time in modern history, Pinkley claimed. He said workers in Great Britain today are earning six times the salary they earned in pre-World War II days. "The average British working man, who once traveled on foot or via bicycle, today has an automobile," he said. Farm income in Britain is 52 per cent government subsidy, he said, and some of the prosperity has been achieved by cutting defense spending. He cited similar conditions in France (only 19,000 unemployed and little being spent on defense) and Italy (prosperous and growing, but a country with 1.7 million known Communists among its inhabitants). He said Western Europe is a pocket of "great neutralism," except for West Germany. Citing propaganda operations in which Russia has taken advantage of natural enmity between Germany and other Euro- doing a good propaganda job." He said: "We need leadership in Washington — more then we've had in recent months, and even more than we've had in recent years — if we're completely frank about it." He claimed Washington buffolds resist changes and "fight to duns resist changes and 'fight to protect their little empires." He added, "We've spent too much money on foreign aid and spent it badly. We should get a better return for our money." He also suggested expenditure of more money at home to secure the dollar, beef up economy and build up military defenses. But he claimed, the best way to fight Communism and gain strength for America is to "get back to the family unit." He continued: "Parents have spoiled their children rotten. We've made life so easy for our children because we love them that we have removed many of life's character-building experiences from them." The editor was introduced by Bud Coulson of the Disneyland public relations staff, Anaheim Rotary Club president. Approximately 200 Rotarians and guests from throughout Orange County attended the luncheon meeting.

Anaheim was declared an ideal site for the location of new industries, or industries considering expansion or relocation, yesterday afternoon, by R. E. March, president of the Engineered Plastics Container Company, at a special Anaheim Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Gourmet Room, Disneyland, honoring the youthful Anaheim company. In naming the reasons why EPC decided to locate in Anaheim, Marsh pointed to the tremendous population growth, proximity to volume markets, transportation, a local labor pool and a realistic tax area. Marsh went on to say that for many years the majority of large containers have been shipped into this area by Eastern and Midwestern firms who manufacture their products in the conventional way, using steel, glass, wood, and some injection molded plastic. "... But with the recent breakthrough in the new types of rigid, tough and durable plastics, a new method of production was conceived, that of blow-molding large items. It was the combination of the new method, the available growing Western market and the ability to produce a superior product at a low cost that made possible the formation of Engineered Plastics Container Company and its entering field."
