There is a joy among those who are able to make California their home something akin, as they are admitted into the state, to the spirit of rejoicing that was evidenced back there 7Q years ago when the pioneers then learned of the action of Congress. The celebration of Admission Day emphasizes the value of our Union. Tt emphasizes the spirit purposes of planning as a modem function ot government and the need for such a commission in our own county. A hat we are interested in now is knowing that a commission will be selected and appointed, the personnel of which is made up of men or women, or both, who are willing and able to devote their rime and effort to the end that the great and vital objects of planning are fulfilled. The Register has advocated the establishment of planning in Orange county for many months, 0f patriotism.

It emphasizes the value of 1 woe DPf- A i Vi 1 1 rl in I even when the adoption of planning was per missive instead of mandatory. had hoped that the people of the county realized its value and appreciated the fact, as we did, that Orange county was onlv on the threshhold of its marvelous development that is yet to come, and that no subject bore a more decided and definite relation to the future expansion and livable status of the county than comprehensive planning backed up by the common consent of all the people through their own county government. This hope was not vain, for the endorsement and activity of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County at that time was not only given hearty and willing support by this newspaper, but the great need of planning was amply verified by the unanimous endorsement bv resolutions of more than thirty civic, fraternal and sendee organizations of our little commonwealth of Orange County. lust as strongly as we have been in favor of the establishment of county planning, now that the county must adopt it by law we are anxious that the members of that commission be men or women whose practical idealism may prop- erlv vision the future needs and whose civic thought is sufficiently broad to enable them to see Orange county as one big community in anticipation of its public development. In this they will have no rosy path to easy sailing to satisfy each individual which the major plan may affect.

The members of the commission receive no salary. We can not visualize any particular glory in connection with their work. They will have the usual task of public men and women in endeavoring to please everybody. And for the very reason that planning is a forward-looking movement that relates to the public use and enjoyment of those projects publicly owned and controlled, such as highways, parks and playgrounds. beaches, public buildings, industry and transportation, it is all-important that care be the watchword of the appointing power.

The board of supervisors is entrusted with the power of appointment of the commission. It is expected that these appointments will he made soon. It will be remembered by the people of Orange county that the board has delayed carrying out the expressed will of the organizations sponsoring county planning. Why the establishment of planning was postponed for so long a time in Orange county is foreign to the intent of this editorial. The legislature, in its wisdom, has obviated the necessity of such discussion.

our American institutions to each child in California. Four wagon loads of Cleveland cops leveled shotguns at an escaped Auburn prison convict and promptly surrendered. Rare judgment. NATURALIZED CITIZENS WARNED Mr. J.

C. Fehr, a Washington lawyer, has just received a bill from the Swiss government informing him that never having rendered military service in the land of his birth, he is charged with a tax for every year since he was eligible to military service. Mr. lehr was naturalized here in the United States when he became of age. He left Switzerland when he was ten years of age.

But Switzerland does not recognize the right of any of her native born to renounce their citizenship. Unfortunately, this is a quandary in which many naturalized citizens find themselves in this country, and our government is powerless to protect them in the matter. The United States has treaties with a number of European countries on the matter, but Switzerland is not one of them. Twelve countries in Europe have not made treaties with the United States concerning its naturalized citizens. And in all these countries, the laws provide for compulsory military service.

If any naturalized citizen of the United States should visit one of these countries of his birth, he might experience considerable annoyance. Our State Department of course would make remonstrances in the matter, but unless the government concerned wished to make concessions, such remonstrances would be futile. For this reason the State department advises all naturalized citizens that they return to their native land at their own risk. It suggests that if a visit is made to native land inquiries should be made before entering to find out what the status of such a person really is. Thoughts On Modem Life By Glenn Frank WHY SCHOOLS ARE NOT RADICAL The school system is today caught in a withering cross-fire of criticism.

The reactionaries think schools are hotbeds of radicalism. The radicals think schools are strongholds of reaction. The radicals are nearer right than the reactionaries, for schools are essentially conservative institutions, but neither group puts the blame in the proper place. The reactionaries think that schools are dominated by radical teachers. The radicals think that schools are dominated by reactionary trustees.

The reactionaries think that schools are suffering from the subtle seduction of radical ideas. The radicals think that schools are suffering from the subtle subsidy of reactionary interests. The schools are conservative, not because conservative interests are strangling them with subsidies, but simply because schools are formal institutions, and formal institutions always lag behind the demands of a changing society. Far back in the dawn of the human adventure all education was Informal. There were no schools.

Youth learned by Its own experience, not by memorizing the exhortations of its elders. The youth of ancient days learned to live by living the life of the tribe. This informal education was not only close to life, but was life itself. This meant that whenever life changed, education changed. There was no lag between learning and living.

But, then as now, the elders thought that the youngsters should benefit by the experience of their ancestors. And so all sorts of tribal ceremonies were elaborated through which the knowledge of the past, embalmed in legend, might be transmitted to the young of the tribe. In this way the formal school was born. Before this, youth learned to live the future by living the present. After this, youth learned to live the future by both living the present and learning the past.

As long cs education consists in informal experience only, the content of learning changes as life changes; but as soon as education 's made to consist also in formal learning of past experience and knowledge, the content of learning is likely to stay the same long after life and society have chanjed. Tradition, custom, ceremony, these will survive on their own account and by Inertia long after the need they were designed tc meet has changed or disappeared. And this what is making our schools centers of conservatism. There Is a our but It Is the menace! of red tape, not the menace ofj red theories. Copyright, 1929, McClure Newsp'r Syn.

in More Truth Than Poetry By James J. Montague GOLFERS ARE GATHERED TOGETHER Golf Is played In beautiful or other always seems inspired to spoil the harmony of the scene, however. Where golfers are gathered together The grass Is all velvety green And buttercups, roses or hether Lend their charm to the pastoral scene. Gems of dew to the blossoms are clinging, The trees spread their branches above And the birds are ecstatically singing Their musical carols of love. But all that you hear, as you pause in the shade, Is "Gosh what a terrible foozle I made." In the distance the partridge is drumming The quail tunes his pipe in the sedge, And the brown bees are drowsily humming As they drift through the blossoming hedge.

The leaves on the sycamores quiver While under a neighboring hill You can hear the low song of a river Or the voice of a murmuring rill. You also will hoar, far more likely than not; I iver get off a good When golfers are gathered together The bright summer hours to while, Though cloudy or fair be the weather, Soft Nature wears always a smile. Afar from the dust and the clamor Of the towns, with their worry and toll, One can feel all the soul soothing glamor That springs from the dew sprinkled soil. But the instant he happens to get off his game The things that he says are a sin and a shame! Through the Prism of Manners 4 ------------------Christian Science Monitor ittle OUR CHILDREN ANGELO PATRI" TO THE PRINCESS If the old tag, makyth man," does not state the whole truth, it goes, at any rate, to the length of defining an admirable ideal for an imperfect world. But that the world, judged through the prism of manners, gets less and less imperfect with every generation is attested by Canon William Charles Edmund Chancellor of St.

Cathedral in London for the last forty years. For, Obviously, the purpose of all public planning a reminiscent mood a few weeks ago. Canon is to place plan? of public development on a that early at i I St. Paul people did not scruple to read newspapers and eat sandwiches while waiting for the services to begin. It is true, of course, that each country has its particular code of good manners, and that even within the confines of the same country different groups of people have their own idiosyncrasies in conversation and at table, a departure from which is considered a lapse from grace.

There is, besides, aiso the difficulty of forming a detached judgment about the accepted mode of mutual relationships of own age: and what the beau of the Restoration period considered the essence of "re basis more lasting and enduring than that which comes about or fails to come about by our political system of administrative changes. Frankly, it means to take public construction and plans of construction out of politics. By the very nature of our governmental system, no function of our government, either local, or state or national, can be entirely removed from the bane of political favoritism. We can imagine only a strange and anomolous situation should the people become SO far removed from a member of the set in modern London would find neither so nor so faned." But, on the whole, it may be urged, good or bad manners can best be judged from the behavior of all classes of people in public places, where, whether mixed up or separated according to their purses, they all conform to one standard of conduct. And it is in this respect that one cannot help drawing the flattering but none the less justified conclusion that in theaters, streets and places of worship manners have been steadily improving, as anyone who cares to look up the records of the social history of the last few centuries can find out for himself.

Today the rather apologetic shuffling of late comers on a first night provoke the wrathful condemnation of critics in the United States and England alike, but what would a modern critic say if he were to be transported amid the howling mob that used to frequent the theaters ip London about a century ago? Frau Johanna Schopenhauer, the mother of the famous German philosopher, to quote one instance, In describing such a visit in her diary, tells how the most famous actors of that day had to interrupt their performance, sometimes for as long us an hour, in order to prevail on their audiences to allow them to go on with their plays. In the streets the improvement of manners is no less astonishing than the improvements in the general appearance ftnd cleanliness. The rise in the public esteem of bus conductors is, perhaps, sufficient proof of that. And Canon testimony shows that even in places of public worship the social sense of the people has changed for the belter within barely one generation. Indeed the larger cities become, the more, it would seem, does this improvement in manners develop.

Can Business Keep Pace With Science? their public servants that representative government could not carry on even with its presen 1 or apparent inequalities.

But we do believe that as nearly as is possible our own planning in this county should be placed upon a civic and community scale first, and that its political aspects be regarded as secondary. In other words, the politician type of citizen has no business being a member of any planning commission. There are perhaps hundreds of citizens in Orange county, any one of whom is well qualified to be one of the six lay members of the commission from the county ai large. They are among those who could enter upon the work with the comprehensive spirit of what planning is to accomplish and remain so during their terms of office; who unselfishly would endeavor to have a master plan worked out independently of fluctuating moods and private ambition and with the public welfare solely in mind: who would maintain regard for the common weal for future as well as for present generations. We care not who the people are who form the commission so long as they are capable of accepting their responsibilities comprehensively, and who are endowed with the moral and mental stamina to see county planning bear fruit advancement of all of the people.

By WILLIAM TRUFANT FOSTER and WADDILL CATCHINGS Benjamin Franklin, preacher of common sense, was so visioned a dreamer as to send a kite into the sky to bring down lightning, if he could return to us today, he would be overcome with astonishment. In place of the Leyden jar, he would find a thirty million horse-power generator. In place of the ten weeks packet on which he sailed to England, he would find a fifty thousand-ton ocean liner, oil-fired and turbine driven. The very air he breathed would be reduced before his eyes to a liquid, boiling on a cake of ice. He would learn of Pasteur and Loeb and Ehrlich.

He would find the productive years of human life lengthened. He would learn of soil analysis, seed selection, fertilizers plucked from the thin air, a harvesting machine doing the work of fifty men, ana countless other ways of making even a of food where one grew before. And if Franklin had attended the Institute of Politics at Williamstown this summer, he would have heard Dr. Harrison E. Howe explain how we bow make leather, silk, food, dyes, houses almost of materials we used to throw away.

The new uses of wood products pre such, says Dr. Howe, "that the poor fibre never knows, nowadays, whether it is destined to become literature or So great are all these gains in productive power that business in this country at least, is on the verge of abolishing poverty Will it ever succeed? That depends largely on whether it develops an art of distribution of goods which keeps pace with the science of production of goods. (Copyright. 1929.

Now that Ive endured the tortures of the dam to lose 18 pounds dieting, Im surely and certeny not going to delibritly put them back agen by eating ice creem soda in the middle of the day between meels. The thawt may appeal to me, but not the ldeer, she sed. Well why dont you test your will power by watching me eat one, ma? I sed, and she sed, No thank you, my will power does much better if I dont test it too much. And we kepp on going and pritty soon ma met some lady, saying, Well of all things of all peeple, how are you, Annie? and the lady sed, Just fine thajiks, yur looking very well yourself I must say, ony a little stouter, perhaps. You must be either perfeckly blind of compleetly devoid of rna sed.

Ive just gone through the Spannlsh inquizition to lose 18 pounds in 18 days and here I meet you and hear this, the ldeer. And we kepp on going, ma keeping on saying. The ldeer, such brazen stupidity, and pritty soon we met Senator Tibbitts. ma saying. Well this is a serprise, Senator, how is Mrs.

Well and kicking, haw haw, Senator Tibbitts sed. Putting on a little weight, though, like yourself, haw haw, he sed, and ma sed, If thats sippose to be a joke its a mizzerable failure. Is that so. haw haw, Senator Tlbbits sed. Proving it still seemed funny to him, and me and ma kepp on going agen, ma saying whats a use.

its better to eat a ice creem soda and in joy it than not to eat it and have everybody tell me I look as if I had. And we went in the ferst place and each ate one. Every American girl is a princess. Ever since the day when she read Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rose White and Rose Red, she has dreamed of the prince and thought of herself as the princess who is to receive the glass slipper or the golden crown. Why not? Of course.

princess is carefully reared and guarded. She observes set rules. The etiquette of her court is severe. She cannot do as ordinary girls might do. girls who had no dreams of crowns, or realms or devoted princes and other subjects.

She must walk sedately. She must remember from dawn to dark that she Is royal and that no misstep shall prove her otherwise. Princesses have duties, disciplined spirits, strong souls. For instance, no princess would be out on the streets romping with boja and giris, laughing and talking loudly, roistering, after dark. That would be unthinkable in a princess.

Nor wrould she be shut In a car with a young man for a long trip, unchaperoned. Her dignity would not permit that. No princess would be guilty of rudeness, bad manners, lack of courtesy in any relationship. "It isn't done," would be sufficient for her. The smart reply, the flippant aside, is not for the princess.

Only the careless one who knows no responsibility of worth and dignity can afford to be ill bred and she can afford it least among the many. Each of us pays a price for what we get from life. If we want cheap things the price Is low enough to be within our reach In the Long Ago From the Register 14 Fears Ago Today within the turn of our hands. But the strange thing about that that cheapness soon wears through and we are left with very shabby garments that fall to cover our most distressing nakedness of soul. Whatever is worth while costs a good price.

We must pay for knowledge In terms of self denial, self discipline, self sacrifice. It may seem hard to hold fast to a atern notion of good breeding and dignity when the rest of the crowd is free and evidently happy, but when that freedom endangers the ideal of princess-dignity it is better to hold fast than to let go. One may be lonely today, but other days are to come and with them the people and associations that meet the demands of the ideal you have set up. The passing loneliness of a careless crowd is as nothing to the depth of the loneliness one suffers by having forfeited one's best happiness. The loneliness of an hour is nothing to the years of isolation one endures because of a spiritual starvation forced upon one by indulgence in cheaper ideals.

Have I made plain to you what I mean? Loud manners, careless ways with the boys, crude enjoyments w'ill cheat you out of your inheritance. You will forfeit the standing of the American princess, the finest woman in the world, by cheapening your self, your ideals, your whole existence. What kind of woman would you be? Set that standard and hew to the line. Remember the discipline of the it, or know yourself content with cheaper things.

The admission of California was made possible by the famous Compromise Measures of 1850 passed by Congress in a general settlement of certain questions arising out of the struggle over slavery. Henry Clay had offered to the Senates in the spring of 1850, a general scheme of adjustment, which provided that California should be admitted as a state with her free constitution: that terri torial governments should be ere ated in the other portions of the Mexican cession without reference to slavery; that trading with in the District of Columbia in slaves brought there for the purpose of sale should be forbidden; that there should be a more stringent fugitive-slave law: and that Texas shoud release all upon New Mexico in return for the UTTIE joe ST (JUHO BCGlKl SN 0 sat ort Time To Smile MET HIS MASTERS VISITOR: Hear lost your parrot that used to swear so ter- Yes, died of ahock.
