The Bakersfield Californian from Bakersfield, California • Page 3

A Gab'fest on naught-six Several of our old-timers oK- the anniversary of San Francisco's 1906 disaster by sitting down and telling each other some of their own experiences during those critical days. Of.e of them, a young chap who has been with Standard of California for 41 years, had a slory we think may interest you. All the company's bookkeeping records were burned in the fire, he said. Not a scrap of paper remained to show to svhom we owed money or who owed money to us. And, as you can imagine, this was a perplexing predicament for an organization anxious to join at once in the re-building of San Francisco.

However, a solution was not long in forthcoming, though it was an unorthodox one for even those times. A letter was sent to each person and company with whom we were then doing business, and our old-timer said the letter went something like this: "Our records were destroyed in the fire. We don't know if you owe us or if we owe you; and we have no idea how much. However, because we have faith in the people we do business with, we'll accept your word as to the amount you owe us or we owe you." It worked out very well, oik old-timer told us. And it must have, for Standard of California is still operating on the policy that the most important thing in business is mutual trust between a company and its customers.

Listen to "The Standard Hour" Sunday evenings, now at 7:30 over N.B.C. Stations. STANDARD OF CALIFORNIA Mass Jewish, Exodus from Russia to Poland Si Fears of tlje Caltfarnian 1 Monday, July 8,1946 3 WARSAW, July 7. (Delayed), The thousands of Jewish repatriates streaming into Poland from Russia authorities to recurrence ot anti-Jewish outbreaks such as the Kielce pogrom in which 41 persons died. A government spokesman said today that armored cars and militia reinforcements had been dispatched to the ancient cathedral city of Czestoehowa, west of Kielce, to prevent what appeared to be an attempt to start rioting-.

Riot Prevented The appearance of a Pole with a camel which he said he acquired from the Russians caused intense excitement in market place of gzestochowa. The spokesman said anti-Semitic agitators circulated in the curious crowd around the camel-rider, started shouting anti-Jewish cries and distributing' provoeatory literature. The spokesman said prompt intervention of Polish armed forces prevented a riot. Vice-Premier Stanislaw Mikola- jczyfe, leader of the Polish Peasant party, in a statement condemned the Kielce pogrom and vigorously denied that his followers were to blame as Vice-Premier Wladislaw Gomulka has intimated. Jews by the tens of thousands were being- routed into Szczecin (Stettin) in northern Poland and into lower Silesia, reports reaching the capital said.

The central committee of Polish Jews and other organizations renewed their demands for free emigration to Palestine, Jews in large numbers besieged the- committee's offices and the American embassy Keeking transit permits to go across Germany toward Palestine or the United States. Started by Boy The false tale of a Polish boy being kidnaped and threatened with death, touched off then Kielce pogrom. Xews of the killings- spread swiftly, striking fear to the Jews. Outlawed forest bands have concentrated particularly on Jews outside the concentration areas, attacking, robbing and killing them jozr high- ways and trains. Witnesses of the Kielce outbreak said "fierce and ruthless" fighting lasted several hours.
