COLONY CRIER by Earl Wilson I truly had a difficult time thinking of a suitable name for this column. After many thoughtful moments, periods of discussion and numerous suggestions, I finally hit upon the idea of the old-time "colony crier" who shouted out news and proclamations during the days of the early settlers. This I hope to do weekly in this corner of the Gazette. I shall endeavor to include items of interest, a few anecdotes, some humor and a few vignettes that ordinarily do not make the news columns. My first day on the job as news editor of the Gazette gave me a full of apologies. I didn't know what to expect. I was totally unprepared for the reaction of one of the most gracious ladies I ever met. "It's perfectly all, right sir," Pat smiled and said. "Go right ahead and shoot your picture, I shouldn't have been in your way." Imagine that, she called me "sir!" Thought for the week: A smile is a light in the window of the face that shows that the heart is at home. Try it. finally hit upon the idea of the old-time "colony crier" who shouted out news and proclamations during the days of the early settlers. This I hope to do weekly in this corner of the Gazette. I shall endeavor to include items of interest, a few anecdotes, some humor and a few vignettes that ordinarily do not make the news columns. My first day on the job as news editor of the Gazette gave me a wonderful feeling and a lasting (I hope) impression of the wonderful city of Anaheim. As I parked my car on Philadelphia Si., across the street from George Washington Elementary School, and headed for the Gazette office, I was brought up short by the most beautiful sound in the world. Coming through the open windows of the school was the sound of children's voices singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" with feeling and conviction that only little children know. I thought, as I pulled myself a little more erect and pushed out my chest, what more perfect way to start out the day! Aboard the "Nixon Special" last Friday, I was most privileged to meet the former vice president and gubernatorial candidate's lovely wife Pat. It happened in a manner I would not recommend to others and one which is frowned upon by Emily Post. I stepped on Pat Nixon's foot. It was certainly not intentional as I was maneuvering around in an overcrowded club car trying to get a picture of Dick Nixon together with Walter Knott, Pat Hitt and Congressman Jimmy Utt. As I aimed my speed graphic and backed up to shooting distance. I trampled Pat Nixon's pedal extremities. Red-faced and BIG 3 Classified Ad Market.
