Mary Marshall's "Very Latest" ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE EACH WEEK FOR WOMEN WHO SEW FOR SELVES THE GAZETTE CALL TWO-FOUR-ONE-FOUR VOLUME LXI Pioneers Look Back Into Distant Past Kith and Kin have Joyous Day at Mother Colony Picnic, Last Saturday NOON FEAST UNDER TREES Story-Telling, Later Pictures of Old Times on Program Pioneers, near-ploneers, their kith and kin, from afar and near, took a look into the distant past, languished and cried themselves to tears, and burnished up fading memories at the picnic of the Mother Colony chapter of the D. A. R., at City park last Saturday. A Noontime Feast The pioneers stuffed themselves at a noontime feast, spread on seven 30-foot tables in the shade of the cover-hanging pepper trees. Following the feast, they heard many talks by pioneers. Still later they saw lantern pictures of the past at the Elks' clubhouse, and as the evening shadows lengthened, they went to the Pioneer clubhouse of the Mother Colony to see Orange County Is Paying Her Debts Orange county ranked ninth from the highest in payments for redemption of debt, among the counties of California, according to a study of county payments for interest and debt redemption, completed by California Taxjayers association. Total payments for interest during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1930, were $273,460, while payments for redemption of debt amounted to $367,250. Of the $273,460 paid for interest, $48,975 was for interest on county bond issues, and $224,485 went for interest on district bond issues. Of the total debt redemption payments by the county of $367,250, $68,000 was paid for redemption of county bonds and $299,250 for redemption of district bonds. Total payments for interest by all the counties of California for the fiscal year 1930 amounted to $15,776,755.40. Of this amount, $2,420,083.54 went for interest on county bond issues, $13,319.404.81 for interest on district bond issues, and $37,267.50 for interest on registered warrants. The total payments for redemption of debt for all the counties of California were $13,864,211.23 and $2,950,862.50 going for redemption of county bonds, $10,911,924.24 for redemption of district bonds, and $1,424.49 for registered warrants. A Noontime Feast The picnickers stuffed themselves at a noontime feast, spreadly on seven 30-foot tables in the shade of the cover-hanging pepper trees. Following the feast, they heard many talks by pioneers. Still later they saw lantern pictures of the past at the Elks' clubhouse, and as the evening shadows lengthened, they went to the Pioneer clubhouse of the Mother Colony to see its historic keepsakes. It was a typical Southland day of brilliant sunshine and cooling breezes, and the setting for the picnic was among the gorgeous flowers of the City park. One of the Largest There was good attendance—but no one took the time from visiting and story-telling to count the number. It was, however, one of the largest and most successful of the Mother Colony picnics, the first of which was held some six pears ago. You can no more keep an Anaheim old-timer away from one of these annual picnics than you can keep a grey squirrel out of a tree. The noon feast made it evident that hardtimes and food shortage does not prevail in the homes of these old-timers. There were platters of ham which had been boiled in cider. Other platters were heading with fried chicken, browned to a turn such as only a pioneer mother knows how to brown it. There were bowls of salads, pans of fried potatoes, mounds of cakes, plates of jelly, pies to make eager the waiting appetites, and from the cooking ranges came huge pots of hot, black coffee. Not There to Mourn Larayette Lewis, a Whittier attorney, who spent his barefoot years in Anaheim, played hookey from school, shot jack rabbits in the sage bushes and on the sand wastes, and robbed orange orchards, made a gracious master of ceremonies. He knew everybody by first name. He paid an eloquent tribute to the pioneers of Anaheim who are now in their final rest, while the picnickers stood with bowed heads. "We are not here to mourn, but to remember," said Mr. Lewis. "It is good for the living to remember the dead." He called upon many of the old-timers, who responded with brief talks. In Years of Long Ago Arthur Ellis, well informed on local and Southland history, spoke of early times in Anaheim, and the audience followed him to the Elks clubhouse, where he spoke of the long ago in Los Angeles and Orange counties, and showed many interesting lantern slides. Among them were views of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Anaheim Landing and Newport. There was a picture of the first Santa Fe train arriving in Los Angeles, a bicycle parade on the dusty streets of year 1950 amounted to $2,420,083.54 went for interest on county bond issues, $13,319.-404.81 for interest on district bond issues, and $37,267.50 for interest on registered warrants. The total payments for redemption of debt for all the counties of California were $13,864,211.23 and $2,950,862.50 going for redemption of county bonds, $10,911,924.24 for redemption of district bonds, and $1,424.49 for registered warrants. Senator Shortridge Tells Some Stories Comes to Anaheim and Tells of When He was a Janitor and Blacksmith Senator Samuel M. Shortridge was in Anaheim, last Monday, and came in a story-telling mood, rather than on a political mission. But he heard from many sides that he had done more for California than any man who ever went to the U.S. Senate from this state, especially in the protection of the state's agricultural and fruit interests. Janitor of a Schoolhouse He is a native of Terre Haute, Indiana, and in his boyhood went to Taylor, Oregon, with his parents. One of his first jobs there was the janitorship of the East Salem public school. "I went back to East Salem some time ago," said Senator Shortridge to a group of Anaheim listeners, "and went with a friend to the East Salem school. But it was not the same school house. A much larger and finer one had taken its place. The old building was a two-room affair—so small that I could sweep both rooms with a broom; which I often did." A Mine Blacksmith In his young manhood, Senator Shortridge—known to his friends then, as now, as Sam—worked in the Grass Valley mine, being employed in the blacksmith shop. "I made candle holders and candles for the miners," said Senator Shortridge. "and when I went back a few years ago, I challenged any man there to see if I could make a candle holder and candle, and fasten the holder to a board quicker than he could. But there were no takers." As a member of the Senate committee on tariff, Senator Shortridge has been especially interested and helpful in giving protection to the California agricultural and fruit industries. There are now more California farm and fruit items on the tariff lists then from any dozen other states. Opposed by Large Importers "All or about all, the agitation year 1950 amounted to $2,420,083.54 went for interest on county bond issues, $13,319.-404.81 for interest on district bond issues, and $37,267.50 for interest on registered warrants."

In Years of Long Ago Arthur Ellis, well informed on local and Southland history, spoke of early times in Anaheim, and the audience followed him to the Elks clubhouse, where he spoke of the long ago in Los Angeles and Orange counties, and showed many interesting lantern slides. Among them were views of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Anaheim Landing and Newport. There was a picture of the first Santa Fe train arriving in Los Angeles, a bicycle parade on the dusty streets of that city, and the first auto parade there many years later. Another picture was of the Herman Dickle home on the site of the present Anaheim city park. Adobe ranch houses, and homes of the old Spanish aristocrats, who lived in houses without window glass and with earth covered roofs, were also shown. And he embellished the pictures with stories and history which brimmed over with interest. Among the many at the pline were: Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Backs, Judge and Mrs. Pleasants, Mrs. Dora Balm, Mrs. Fannie Lyon, Miss Margaret Higgins, Mrs. Wilte, Mrs. Clara Mosseman, Mrs. Adele Mossman, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jacobson, Miss Julia Wartenberg, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Rust, Mr. and Mrs. Borchert, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Cole, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. John Dwyer. Daguerre Estate Is Worth $629,137 One of the largest estates filed with the county clerk in recent years is that of Marle Eugenie Daguerre, who died last March, the estate being estimated at $629,137.28. County Treasurer Trago has filed with the clerk the receipt of the estate, which paid an inheritance tax of $29,9993.74, this being the net amount after an allowance had been deducted for the payment of the tax six months after it passed to the heirs. The net value of the estate was equally divided in three parts, going to three daughters, each of whom received $209,-712.42. The inheritance tax on each share of the estate was $10,524.12. The three heirs are Mrs. Juanito Veronica Daguerre Seidel, Santa Ana; Grace Terresa Daguerre and Josephino Magdaline Daguerre, both of Ey Toro. Remodeling to be Completed June 20 Completion of remodeling store fronts at 117 and 119 West Center street is scheduled for June 20, according to Building Superintendent H. Mann. The store fronts have been deepened to permit more widow display at a cost of approximately $1800. Mrs. N. H. Mitchell recently purchased the property from the Heying brothers of Anaheim, paying in the neighborhood of $30,000, according to reports. Hunt & Tellam at present have one lease, while a lease is pending on the other store. 20-30 CLUB ELECTION Wayne Lauderback was on Monday night elected president of the 20-30 club and will take the office next week. The other officers are: Francis Elliott, vice president; Earle Jackson, secretary; David Wagner, treasurer, and Fritz Plepenbrink, sergeant-at-arms. The directors for the coming term are Carl Wollenman, Arch Henry, Wilmer Troutman and Arthur Jensen. SANTA ANA BILL SIGNED Governor Rolph has signed a legislative bill which gives a total of $1,000,000 of state funds for flood control work in Southern California. The portion for the Santa Ana river basin is $400,000 and $600,000 goes to Los Angeles county.

This oldest church building in or around Anaheim—oldest in point of continuous use—is approaching its 60th birthday. The painters took their ladders away yesterday, leaving the church building spike and span in its snowy white paint. They had also painted up the parish house and the residence of Rector D. Howard Dow, modernizing these structures outside and in. The electricians have been busy, too, stringing wires for electric lamps for the auditorium and around the chancel. The painters did not “doll up” the interior of the church, for it is old-fashioned in its unpainted red wood—such red wood as builders cannot obtain these days. St. Michael’s started back in the pioneering years of Anaheim with 37 names signed to its first roll of members. It now has about 300 baptized members. Mr. Dow came to the church as rector last September from St. James church in Los Angeles, where he had been assistant rector. He is a native of Worcester, Massachusetts, which in his boyhood had the largest population of Swedes of any city in the United States—thousands of Swedes who had come to the Land of the Free to work in the Worcester mills. “St. Michael’s, its parish house and rector’s residence look so new that I myself hardly know the place,” said the Rector. Ethel Hueston is rapidly coming to the front as a writer on American life. She is that rare combination, a woman and a humorist. ROWENA RIDES THE RUMBLE Ethel Hueston's serial of Love, Life and America. It is a story loaded with thrills and laughter and it starts in THE GAZETTE JUNE 25 Boy Scouts Going On Summer Tour Twenty Boy Scouts of the first class are to be chosen from the Orange county organization who on July 20 will leave for a 2,000-mile tour of the northern part of California, returning on August 2. Christy Allen, field executive of the Scouts in northern Orange county, is organizing the trip, which will include Stanford University, San Francisco, San Quentin prison, the Sequoia forest and numerous other points. Three Men Save 340-Pound Youth It required the strenuous efforts of three rescuers to save the life of J. C. Everett, of La Habra, at Newport Beach, Sunday afternoon. Everett is only 17 years old, but he weighs 340 pounds. He was in the ocean at Midway, between Newport and Balboa, when he went beyond the breaker line and began lustily to shout for help. One life guard went to the rescue, but saving a 340-pound youth as well as himself was quite a chore for even and expert swimmer, H. B. Thomas, a Santa Ana mail carrier, joined in the effort, which was still too much for the rescues. Then a second life guard arrived on the scene, and the three rescuers succeeded in getting hefty young Everett out of the depths. St. Catherine’s Cadets To Give Program The cadets of St. Catherine’s Military academy will close their year next Sunday afternoon, when elaborate ceremonies with a military flavor will be given on the academy grounds, beginning at 4 o’clock. A feature of the afternoon will be the parade by the cadets, which will be reviewed by a number of military officers. Col Ernest W. Bain, aside to the adjutant-general of the Ninth Corps and, also a member of the personal staff of Governor Rolph, will head the board which will make the annual military awards. His associates will be Major K. O. Craigin, U. S. R. C., and Captain H. W. Christiansen, U. S. R. C. Stories of Old-Timers Told at Pioneers' Picnic ANAHEIM WAS UNIQUE "There is no other city in California that approaches Anaheim as an unique idea," said Arthur Ellis. "It is the only city in California that was deliberately planned before it was started. Other cities may have tried it, but they were not so successful in carrying out the plans. It was in a German hotel in San Francisco where Anaheim had its real beginning. It was in this old hotel where the Germans used to gather, talk, sing and drink their beer. Fifty men of this group decided that they would go somewhere and start a colony of their own. They made all their plans, even to the layout of the town, with streets and building sites. They went about it in a most systematic way, without any idea as to where the colony was to be located. Then they started out their prospectors, who came into Southern California, and the present site of Anaheim is the one these prospectors decided on. These pioneers came of their own accord and with a definite purpose. No other co-operative plan of the kind, so complete in its details, has been successfully carried out in California." Mr. Ellis is a native of Missouri. His grandfather was Azusa Lewis, who came into Orange county in 1852. It was this Lewis who started the irrigation scheme and planted the first citrus trees in the Anaheim district. FOUNDER OF THE VINEYARDS If there was anyone at the picnic who was entitled to a front seat at the tables with beautiful helpings for mite feast, he was Judge J. E. Pleasants, for he was the founder of the great vineyards which once flourished in the Anaheim region and from which were made wines by the hundreds of thousands of gallons. Wine was for years about as common in Anaheim as water. It was shipped in casks to distant points, some of it going to London, where it soothed the palate of Queen Victoria. Judge Pleasants brought from the Wolftskill vineyards at San Gabriel Mission in 1859 the first grape vine cuttings, from which the vineyards here were started. In 1865, about 2,000,000 of these vines were destroyed by a blight, and the grape and wine industry here had to make a new start. The U.S. Government sent an expert to Anaheim, who made a diligent effort to find what kind of blight had struck the vineyards and how to overcome it. He even went to Italy seeking a remedy. But he was baffled and could nothing. The blight swept the uncultivated vines along the mountain sides, as well as the cultivated vineyards around Anaheim. A PIONEER PIANO One of the first pianos brought into Southern California is now one of the most valued keepsakes in the Mother Colony's museum at the Pioneer club house. Fred C. McKinnie, whose father was a founder of the First Presbyterian church here, told the picnic audience the history of the instrument. The piano was purchased by the John Fischer family, then living in San Francisco, and was brought around Cape Horn in a sailing vessel. The Fischer piano was one of the show pieces in the old Planters' hotel in San Francisco, where the family lived. When the Fischers moved to Los Angeles they brought the piano with them. It is an old-time square instrument, massive in construction, with its corners standing upon four large legs, highly ornamented. The Fischer home in Los Angeles was caught in a raging flood of the Los Angeles river many years ago, and home and plano were swept down stream by the swirling flood. After the waters receded, the piano was dug out of the sand and resting and otherwise repaired, restored to its owners, and was finally brought to Anaheim. The instrument is nearly 70 years old. Anna Fischer was the first person to be born in Anaheim and tradition says the city was named for her—"heim," the German for home—"Anna's holm" easily became Anaheim. Mr. McKinnie married a third Fischer daughter and said the march for their wedding was played on the old piano. Anna Fischer died a few years ago and in her will gave the piano to the Mother Colony. Mrs. Dora Fischer Bain, sister of Anna, attended the picnic. LEO SHERIDAN WINS CONTEST Leo Sheridan, Anaheim city councilman, won the eating contest at the noontime feast, with County Clerk J. M. Backs as his chief competitor. The two contestants suitfully had their appetites with them, having fasted for some days before the picnic. As they ranged up and down the long tables, picking up chicken second joints and wishbones, slices of ham, an dother toothsome tibbits, they left wreck and ruin as a trail. Mr. Backs was to attend a second picnic in the evening, that of the Orange county pioneers, when he was to enter another gormandizing contest, so he had to save some space (Continued on Page 5) ZETTE TWO WASHINGTON LETTERS TOPICS OF GENERAL INTEREST AT THE NATION'S CAPITOL THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET Number 36 Elks and Legion In Flag Day Program Although the birthday of Old Glory is on Sunday, June 14, the Elks lodge and Anaheim Legion post joined in observing Flag Day at the Ellis club house last evening. The Legion drum and bugle corps led the march from the Legion hall and a short vaudeville program was given at the clubhouse while the Elks held a lodge session. The two organizations later combined in a joint session, when a Flag Day program was given, with appropriate music by the Ellos' orchestra and addresses by several speakers. L. H. London presided and Boy and Girl Scouts took part in the ceremonies. Trabuco Creek Added To Flood Control The Board of Supervisors have referred back to its flood control engineers its recent report on water control in Orange county, with instructions to add Trabuco creek canyon. The canyon was omitted from the engineers' report. The Gladding-McBean company operators of a clay products plant in Santa Ana canyon, sent to the board its endorsement of the board's control plan, saying "it is superior to any previous plan."

Displays at Citron School Citron school had many visitors last week, who enthused over the displays made by the pupils in the various rooms. Each group had taken a motif and by their own hands had created many decorative effects. One room had Japan as its motif. California missions was another, worked out by the kindergarten youngsters. Indians, Holland, Alaska, were other subjects. One room took the Orange show for its subject. A miniature of the show grounds and tents was set up, and the children some time ago began boosting the show by writing letters to their grandpas, who live back East, urging them to come to the exposition. Fremont School Commencement Graduation exercises of Fremont school will be held this Friday night, to be held in the city park beginning at 7:45.

While practically all merchants change their front window display every week, several owners of buildings and merchants are making permanent improvements in their store fronts. Notable changes are being made in the Bank of Italy building where several stores will occupy the space formerly taken by the Bank of Italy. Other changes include extensive alterations at 162 West Center, the building formerly occupied by Louis Danz and now leased by Morris Litchsteinin, who plans to open a women's apparel shop there soon. Remodeling of fronts includes the work being done on Julius H. Crane's jewelry store at 115 East Center street. S’ Picnic ave in construction, with pending upon four large manented.

Parks, of the Anaheim city engineer’s office, are attending the short course in public administration which is being held at the University of Southern California. City, county and state problems—the laying out of streets and boulevards, erection of public buildings, public health, supplies of water, light and power, maintenance of parks, libraries and schools; control of public funds, and management of public affairs—are being studied in the six-day course. Round tables are being held every day on city and county planning, budgets and accounts, and many other municipal subjects; these conferences being under the direction of numerous eminent instructors and municipal officials. Flower Lovers Enjoy Illustrated Talks Flower lovers of the county enjoyed two illustrated talks which were given yesterday morning at the Growers' Institute, held at the Orange Show. One of the speakers was Walter Armacost, of Sawtelle, who spoke on “Floriculture,” and the other was Ralph D. Cornell, landscape architect, whose subject was "Landscaping as a Factor in Rural Home and Community Development." The discussions were of especial interest to home owners who take pride in the adornment of their lawns and gardens."
