IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 11, 1908 The regular monthly executive meeting of the Southern California Presbyterial was held in the Presbyterian church here on Monday afternoon with Mrs. Amy Saxton Fulton as the guest of honor and principal speaker. It was the twenty-fifth anniversary of this women's society in Southern California. The first meeting was held in the Presbyterian church here a quarter of a century ago. Mrs. Fulton spent her school days here, later removing to Los Angeles where nineteen years ago she went to Japan as a missionary, being sent by Immanuel church of that city. Mrs. Fulton, her husband, who is also a missionary and their children are spending a year's furlough in the United States, although Mrs. Fulton's present visit to California is limited to ten days, when she will leave for Oregon to join her family who are now with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Saxton formerly of this city. The morning session was presided over by Mrs. Cleland, president. Reports of different departments were given by Mrs. Wheelan. Adjournment was taken for enjoyment of a bounteous luncheon prepared and served by the ladies of the church. In the afternoon Mrs. Fulton gave an address upon the work of herself and husband in Japan which was heard with deep interest by those present. The church was filled to the doors, many former residents coming from Los Angeles, Santa Ana and other towns to meet with old friends in the church. Among Santa Ana ladies present were Mrs. A. J. Lawton, Mrs .Victor Montgomery, Mrs. Lowe, Mrs. Smiley, Mrs. Dr. Reynolds, Mrs. W. W. Anderson, Mrs. Ella Parker, sister of Mrs. Hatzfeld of this city, Mrs. Inman and many others. Mrs. W. S. Bartlett, a former resident of Orange county was among the ladies present from Los Angeles.

The population of Orange County, according to the school census, complete figures of which are just at hand 36,145. The population embraced in Anaheim and Loara districts is 4195. C. Schindler this week began work upon a 40 x 62 brick building for Strodthoff brothers on their lot near the postoffice. The east room will be occupied by Mr. Kincaid as a grocery store. The west room will be occupied by a new mercantile business enterprise. The Ruhman building has been decorated with a new coating of paint. Artist Meiniche has done an artistic job, and the appearance of the building is greatly enhanced thereby. Jacob Everhardy died at his residence on West street on Wednesday last after an illness of long standing. “Uncle Jake” as he was familiarly called by all was a native of Thrier, Prussia, and was in his 74th year. He came to the United States with his parents when a child. In 1888 he came to Anaheim with his family and has since resided here. He leaves a wife and five grown children. The death of this worthy citizen removes an upright and well beloved member of the community and causes regret in the hearts of all. Edmond Cahen is one of this year’s graduates in the college of medicine of the University of Southern California. Dr. Cahen will hang out his shingle in the Angelic town and his friends here-away hope the best of luck may be ever with him. Ted Dickel returned this week from Berkeley for the summer vacation. On Tuesday accompanied by his grandfather, T. E. Schmidt, he paid a visit to relatives in Los Angeles. Alfred Heying is home from San Francisco for a fortnight’s vacation.

For the first time since the demolishing of the old San Juan Capistrano mission by earthquake in 1812 confirmation was held there last Thursday. The services were attended by almost 400 persons. A class of eighty-six, chiefly Mexicans, were confirmed by Right Rev. Bishop Conaty. Statues and furnishings from the little chapel which is now used as a place of worship, were taken to the ruins and the confirmation took place under the blue canopy of the sky, beyond the great arch which still stands. The Rev. Raphael Fuhr, rector of St. Joseph’s church, Los Angeles, has charge at San Juan Capistrano and he, with other priests from Los Angeles parishes assisted the Bishop in the services. Mrs. John Eells of West Anaheim with her little daughter, Doris, left June 3rd for an extended visit with relatives and friends in Wampun, Wisconsin. Henry Chemnitzer was given a surprise party on the occasion of his twelfth birthday on Saturday afternoon at the home of his parents on Chartres street. Those present were George Click, Fred and John Sandow, Deitrich Heitshusen, Henry Kratz, Elenora and Agusta Burdorf, Ella Heitshusen, Katie Booms and Ida Gergen. Mrs. Osborne and Mrs. Whiting of the east side were week-end visitors in town, guests of Mrs. Welborn Wallop. Mrs. R. Spoerl is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Hagar at Niagara Falls. She will be absent several months. C. E. Ramella is erecting a $1000 cottage for Frank Lagourgue on the latter’s ranch on the east side. Loara school district will vote upon a special tax of $600 on June 30. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 9, 1883 The board of town trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. The bonds of B. Dreyfus as treasurer and of E. T. Newbold as clerk were read and approved. The justice of the peace elect was required to file his bond. In the matter of the fire hydrant broken by Mr. Gade, the clerk was directed to notify him to replace the hydrant at the junction of Broadway and Clementina streets within one month, and the committee on public improvements was authorized to accept or reject the hydrant when so placed. A petition was received from property owners on Broadway requesting the removal of the ditch now located in the middle of that street to the north side of the street. Petition referred to committee on public improvements. The ordinances introduced at the meeting held on May 28 were adopted and 250 copies ordered printed in pamphlet form. The Marshal was instructed to increase the water rate of washhouses to $5 per month. The marshal was also instructed to have the obstructing trees removed from Sycamore street. In the matter of appointment of Fire commissioners, Mr. Ey was requested to find three competent persons who would agree to comply with the fire ordinance this day adopted, and bring their names before the board at its next meeting. Ordinance NO. XIX adopted at this meeting is for the purpose of regulating the conduct of minors, etc. and is as follows: The trustees of the town of Anaheim do ordain as follows: Section 1. That parents and guardians are required to see that children under eighteen years of age are in their homes at nine o'clock p.m. and any children found lounging, playing or running in the streets after nine o'clock are liable to arrest. Section 2. It shall be the duty of the marshal to arrest any girl or boy violating section one of this ordinance and return them to their homes, and on a repetition of the offence upon conviction thereof the parents become liable to a fine of $5 and costs. Section 3. This ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage. Food and Drugs Proposals Told Draft to Control Truth In Advertising Sumbitted to Justice Department A proposed draft revising the present food and drugs act is completed and submitted to the department of justice for review, it is announced by Assistant Secretary of Agriculture R. G. Tugwell. The most important provision in the proposed draft is the expansion of the act to include cosmetics an dto regulate advertising of foods, drugs, and cosmetics. The new draft does not propose consorship of advertising in advance of its use. However, under its provisions false advertising may be penalized by prosecution in the federal courts. Prosecution for false advertising will be directed against the source rather than against the medium in which it appears. This will put the responsibility for truthful advertising squarely upon the manufacturer, distributor, or dealer. The truth or falsity of advertising will be measured essentially by the same standards as those employed to determine the truth or falsity of label statements. The restrictions against adulterations have been strengthened, particularly in those instances where the public health is concerned. The requirements in regard to labeling have been broadened by the deletion of "jokers" in the present law and by providing for sufficiently full information so that purchasers may know just what they are buying. When traffic in foods, drugs or cosmetics of any kind may be inherently harmful to public health and cannot be adequately controlled by the other provisions of the bill, the secretary is authorized to place the manufactures of such commodities under a license requiring the maintenance of sufficient safeguards. A provision in the new bill authorizes the secretary to establish food standards having the force and effect of law. the purpose of regulating the conduct of minors, etc. and is as follows: The trustees of the town of Anaheim do ordain as follows: Section 1. That parents and guardians are required to see that children under eighteen years of age are in their homes at nine o'clock p.m. and any children found lounging, playing or running in the streets after nine o'clock are liable to arrest. Section 2. It shall be the duty of the marshal to arrest any girl or boy violating section one of this ordinance and return them to their homes, and on a repetition of the offence upon conviction thereof the parents become liable to a fine of $5 and costs. Section 3. This ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage. Nearly every town of consequence in the state has a town park and it is now proposed that Anaheim should fall into line. Liberal subscriptions have already been promised, and a paper will be circulated next week for subscriptions. It is proposed that after subscriptions to the amount of $1000 have been obtained, to call a meeting of the subscribers and let them decide as to the location of the proposed park. There are plenty of eligible locations in town which can be secured reasonably. It is understood that the board of town trustees will agree to keep the park in proper order if the land is deeded to them free of expense. Professor Jackson, one of the instructors at the state university visited the Anaheim schools on Tuesday and in his address to the pupils pointed out the benefits of a collegiate education and urged them to qualify themselves for admission to the university. We learn from Prof. Jackson that the university is yearly becoming more popular with the people of the coast, and that the abilities of President Reid are placing the institution upon a higher plain than its most enthusiastic friends ever dreamed possible. The closing of the Anaheim public schools on the 22nd instant, for the summer vacation, will probably be signalized by the graduation of three young ladies. The county board of education has furnished the questions which the candidates for graduation must answer. The closing exercises will be held at Kroeger's hall on the evening of the 22nd. Walter D. Stevenson, Esq., city attorney of Los Angeles, will deliver an address. The graduates will read essays, and there will be other interesting exercises. The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Eva Kuelp was the result of an attack of paralysis which prostrated her last week. Mrs. Kuelp came here at the founding of Anaheim, her husband, who died many years ago being one of the most prominent pioneers of the colony. The respect in which she was held was testified by the large attendance at the funeral on Tuesday. Mrs. Kuelp was aged 64 years. Our friend of the Riverside Press asserts that as good grapes and oranges are grown in Riverside as in Anaheim. We believe him. In writing the item to which he takes a mild exception, we had in our thoughts only the northern counties through which we had lately passed, and the comparison we made was only with those counties. The Los Angeles Herald says that the internal revenue returns on grape brandy during the past fiscal year, from the thirty-three distilleries in this county, amounted to $140,976.50. In Highway Costs Receive Study Legislature on Record Favoring Reduction of Road Expense To Taxpayers While counties generally have reduced local road expenditures, the legislature is on record in favor of measures which will further lower this cost to taxpayers. A check of disbursements of California countries last year shows that a total of $28,238,240 was spent for highways and bridges, as compared to $30,-464,262 the previous year. In Orange county highway and bridge expenditures totaled $1,468,705 last year as compared to $1,317,372 in 1931, state records show. Perhaps the measure which will bring the greatest amount of relief to the local road situation is the bill introduced by Senator Arthur H. Breed, Oakland, which calls for the inclusion of an additional 5,500 miles of highway into the secondary road system of the state. This, the proponents claimed, will materially reduce the county expenditures hitherto necessary for maintenance and, in a few cases, new construction. Another measure designed to relieve road taxes will increase the amount of gasoline tax funds allocated to counties, especially to the 20 smallest. This bill, now before the governor along with the 6,600-mile measure, provides that in addition to the $20,000 minimum allowed counties annually, they will receive a share based on motor vehicle registra- Our friend of the Riverside Press asserts that as good grapes and oranges are grown in Riverside as in Anaheim.

The Los Angeles Herald says that the internal revenue returns on grape brandy during the past fiscal year, from the thirty-three distilleries in this county, amounted to $140,976.50. In addition there was collected for licenses for the sale of liquor, beer and manufactured tobacco during the year, $20,027.30. Mr. Adolph Rimpau has returned from Lower California, where he has passed the last two months looking after his sheep. In the mountains back from the coast there is an abundance of feed, but all the available pasturage is occupied. While driving in the Orangethorpe district on Thursday night, Mr. Frank Schaumberger was thrown to the ground by a sudden jolt of the buggy in crossing a ditch which in the darkness he failed to notice. He fell under the horse's feet and received a slight scalp wound. A reward is offered for the horse and buggy. Only fifty-three votes were polled in the election in Anaheim on last Saturday afternoon. The result was: For school trustee, Theodore Rimpau 53; for assessor and collector, Richard Melrose, 53. There will be no 4th of July celebration in Anaheim this year. The preliminary meeting was so slimly attended that it was deemed inadvisable to dim the lustre of the last celebration by any half-hearted attempt this year. At Ravena on Sunday F. O. Moore was shot and killed by P. M. Mitchell, neighbors, who had quarreled about a piece of land. Mitchell claims that he shot in self defense. Our former fellow townsman Count Charles Felix Bozenta Chlapowski, better known as the husband of Madame Modjeska, has taken the oath of allegiance and become an American citizen. The examination of James W. Helman and M. Frankel who were charged with burning their store at Wilmington some months ago, resulted in their discharge, there being no evidence against them. This, the proponents claimed, will materially reduce the county expenditures hitherto necessary for maintenance and, in a few cases, new construction. Another measure designed to relieve road taxes will increase the amount of gasoline tax funds allocated to counties, especially to the 20 smallest. This bill, now before the governor along with the 6,600-mile measure, provides that in addition to the $20,000 minimum allowed counties annually, they will receive a share based on motor vehicle registration figures. Two other measures looking toward decreased county expenditures for roads, were killed during the latter part of the session. One of these would have provided for the payment of interest and retirement of county road bonds out of the state's share of gasoline tax funds. This proposal was voted down in the senate. The upper house also refused passage of a bill which would have repealed the county "40-cent road tax" on the ground it was not necessary since the advent of gasoline taxes. Yolo Hens Believe In The “New Deal” Even the hens in Yolo county have taken cognizance of the "new deal"—and deserted the "egg standard." For some weeks, according to W. H. Mitchell, Winters rancher, one of his white leghorn flock has been laying eggs more than twice the ordinary size. One egg, he said, measured eight and one-half inches in circumference and had three yolks. And, despite its accomplishment, the hen displays a rare quality of modesty, for, said Mitchell, all efforts on his part to discover the gifted fowl have proved in vain. 3 Prefer Jail to Chopping Wood Judge Dan E. Kilroy, of Modesto, gave three men their choice of paying $25, spending 12½ days in jail or cutting 12½ tiers of wood. They took the jail term. BRUCE BARTON writes of "THE MASTER EXECUTIVE" THE MODERN MARKET PLACE "You mean that we ought to do street preaching," a preacher once asked me. But street preaching is not at all analogous to what Jesus did. The cities in which He worked were both small and leisurely; the market was a gathering place where everybody came at some time—the transfer place for all merchandise and for ideas. Where will you find such a marketplace in modern days? A corner of Fifth Avenue? A block on Broadway? Only a tiny fraction of the city's people pass any given point in the down-town district on any given day. A man might stand and preach for years at Fifth Avenue and Thirtieth Street, and only one in a hundred thousand would ever know that he lived. No; the present day market-place is the newspaper and magazine. Printed columns are the modern thoroughfares; published advertisements are the crossroads where the sellers and the buyers meet. Any issue of a national magazine is a world's fair, a bazaar filled with the products of the world's work. Clothes and clocks and candlesticks; soup and soap and cigarettes, lingeries and limousines—the best of all of them are there, proclaimed by the makers in persuasive tones. That every other voice should be raised in such great market-places, and the voice should be raised in such great market-places, and the voice of Jesus of Nazareth be still—this is a vital omission which He would find a way to correct. He would be a national advertiser today. I am sure, as He was the great advertiser of His own day. To the minds of those who hurry through the bristling pages, He too would send his call: What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul; or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? This would be His challenge in every newspaper and magazine; and with it would be coupled an invitation to share in the joyous enterprise of His work. A very successful publisher has a rule that no photograph shall ever be printed in his newspapers unless it contains human beings. You and I are interested most of all in ourselves; next to that we are interested in other people. What do they look like? How old are they? What have they done and said? With unerring instinct Jesus recognized and used this trait in human nature. One of the most revealing of all verses to those who would understand the secret of His power is this: "All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake He not unto them." A parable is a story. He told them stories, stories about people, and let the stories carry His message. He might have adopted very different methods—many teachers and would-be leaders do! He might have dealt in generalities. Next Week: Weakness of Generalities Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co. State Bankers To Hear Farm Studies Agriculture will occupy one session of the 42nd annual state bankers convene- Could Not Help But Set Records Aviation records just couldn't resist Billy Ganow, amateur air pilot of State Bankers To Hear Farm Studies Agriculture will occupy one session of the 42nd annual state bankers convention to be held this week at the Hotel Pasadena, according to Frank Was, Santa Ana, county key banker, representing the agricultural committee of the California Bankers association in Orange county. The entire program of Thursday afternoon, beginning at 2 p.m., will embrace agricultural problems as it concerns banking business of the state. Could Not Help But Set Records Aviation records just couldn't resist Billy Ganow, amateur air pilot of Georgetown, near Pleacerville. Recently he landed his plane in Georgetown, thereby establishing one record; and of all places, he chose the intersection of two streets for his landing field—something more in the way of records, according to local citizens. However, according to Ganow, it was an unintentional landing, pointing to a damaged wing as evidence.
