Dear Mr. Kuchel: I know that memories are apt to be at fault about things that occurred many years ago. I was but a small boy when the event in question happened and I might well enough have not remembered it correctly. Just today have read your issue of Oct. 26, '33, and the first item in the column of "50 Years Ago" started me to thinking that your comment at the close of the first item might be in error. About 1892 my folks lived in a house on North Los Angeles street, the old Cox house north of North street. While we were living there the county constructed quite a long bridge across the sand wash and during the first winter after its completion enough water came down the sand wash to wash around both ends of the bridge, leaving it high and dry. It is now my recollection that the great volume of water was caused by the breaking of a dam that the Water company had constructed across the mouth of Soquel wash about a mile cast of the present townsite of Placentia. I can very well remember seeing the ends of the dam and some of the old iron gates that remained for several years. The dam was constructed for storage purposes and did not have adequate spill ways for flood release and when an exceptionally heavy rain occurred the water ran over the top of the dam. As I now remember there were no lives lost and the bridge itself was not damaged. Somewhere about the turn of the century there was considerable talk of Financial Drive Boy Scout workers this week continued their efforts to raise an additional $150 to bring the $600 pledge up to the budgetary requirements of $759, according to decision arrived at the meeting of the Anaheim council Monday night at the Pickwick hotel, Chairman Melbourne A. Gauer presided. Judge Frank Tausch, J. W. Newton and Charles Pearson were named on the permanent finance committee, while other committee appointments included: Court of Honor, Kenneth Peck, chairman, Fred Welsel; camping committee, Clyde Childress, chairman, others to be appointed later; troop organization, S. F. Hilgenfeld, chairman; publicity, Ed Mills, chairman, Dr. Waltz and Clyde Childress; district commissioner, not yet named, Dr. Waltz, chairman, Ed Mills and M. W. Martnet Jr., to serve in that capacity for the present. Homer Chaillaux Addresses Youth State Commander Homer Chaillaux of the American Legion Tuesday morning addressed the Santa Ana junior college student body. He hit boldly at un-American propaganda, flayed activities of the American Civil Liberties Union, and decried communistic theories. He declared the American Legion is desirous of peace, and is fostering an adequate national defense with that thought in mind. Board Sees, Then Objects To Waste Upon return from a tour of inspection to the upper Santa Ana river, where spreading operations at the upper cone, Lynde, Mill and other creeks were observed, the Orange county water district board of directors Friday seriously adopted the attitude that rather than let water run to waste in the ocean they would favor its spreading in the upper basin. Incendiary Fire At “Y” Is Put Out Inflamable material was placed at the southwest corner of the Y. M. C. A. building Monday night and lighted. Neighbors noticed two small lads, between the ages of 12 and 14, who were running away, then notified the fire department. Prompt action prevented more than $10 damage, although the fire threatened the entire structure and adjoining edifices. Fire Chief R. Nyboe this week continued search for the two boys. Christmas Shoppers Warned To Save $3 To New Plates; Title Transfer Shop early for the approaching Christmas season but save $3 for the annual license renewal season starting immediately after the New Year holiday. This is the suggestion of the Automobile Club of Southern California license bureau. The division of motor vehicles and the club are now storing away tons of the new 1934 plates for the start of January distribution on Tuesday morning. January 2. More than 2,000,000 sets of plates will be issued throughout the state. The only change, aside from a reversal of this year's colors from the present orange on black to black on orange, is the spelling of the name "California" across the top of the new plate instead of the bottom. Motorists from other states desiring to obtain California numbers will be offered courtesy service by the automobile club, which expects to issue several hundred thousand sets of plates to members and visitors through its 33 district offices. Motorists who have purchased a car during the year and not had the ownership record transferred to their own names should take care of this matter through any registration office before the start of the license renewal in order to eliminate delay and confusion at that time. The state levies a transfer fee of $1 for this service. Autoists who have lost their certificates of registration or who find them illegible, should apply for a duplicate before renewal season, since a legible 1933 certificate of registration is required for renewal of licenses. A 50c fee is charged for a duplicate. If the motorist has completed his transaction with the dealer, finance company or other legal owner, he should obtain the certificate of ownership on it and present this with the certificate of registration at the time of renewal for transfer of ownership on the records. Then both the 1934 certificates of registration and ownership will appear in the motorist's name. The state fee for renewal of license plates on passenger cars is still $3. Motorists will not be required to present personal property tax receipts during the January 1934 renewal period, since the law requiring such presentations does not become effective until the first Monday in March, 1934. Visalia Avocados Out of Depression The avocado "depression" apparently is ended at Visalia. The city's famous avocado tree, growing next door to the fire station, bore no fruit last year, despite the edged across the mouth of Soquel wash about a mile cast of the present townsite of Placentia. I can very well remember seeing the ends of the dam and some of the old iron gates that remained for several years. The dam was constructed for storage purposes and did not have adequate spill ways for flood release and when an exceptionally heavy rain occurred the water ran over the top of the dam. As I now remember there were no lives lost and the bridge itself was not damaged. Somewhere about the turn of the century there was considerable talk of building a dam on the La Habra site but there was so much objection to it that it was never constructed and it was leased to an oil company. Then the present Yorba reservoir site was purchased and the present dam constructed. I very well remember this latter job as it was the first hydraulic dam built in Southern California. I have no recollection as to when the dam of which I have written was constructed but I feel sure that the one that the item of Nov. 3, 1883, refers to is not the present Yorba dam. It is quite likely that the issues of the early 90's will tell more about what happened. As we did not arrive in Anaheim until 1886 the events of 50 years ago antidate my memory, but I do well remember most of the names mentioned and also many of the people who were active in the affairs of the old water company were living there when we arrived and I remember many of them. I do not know that it is of great importance as to whether your comment is more accurate than my recollection but I thought that I would write you what is my present recollection to see if you might not have the same thought after having it called to your attention. We all very much enjoy reading those two columns and the minutes of the water company. Sincerely yours, CHAS. S. KNOWLTON. Inflamable material was placed at the southwest corner of the Y. M. C.

The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. Among the Bible citations are the verses from Job: “And Job spake, and said, Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived... For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is come unto me... Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, ... I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause; ... He shall deliver tree in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.” One of the correlative passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "Human experience in mortal life, which starts from an egg, corresponds with that of Job when he says, 'Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.' Mortals must emerge from this notion of material life as all-in-all. They must peek open their shells with Christian Science, and look outward and upward." Visalia Avocados Out of Depression The avocado “depression” apparently is ended at Visalia. The city’s famous avocado tree, growing next door to the fire station, bore no fruit last year, despite the anxious care bestowed on it by firemen. This year, however, the crop promised to be the largest in years. State Frowns Upon Highway Speed Test Speed tests on California’s highways will not be tolerated. E. Raymond Cato, chief of the highway patrol, said in letters to Austin E. Elmore, automotive testing engineer, and officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The warning resulted from a speed trial said to have been made by Elmore between Los Angeles and San Francisco. He covered the distance at an average speed of 66 miles an hour and at times exceeded 75 miles, it was reported. The test was made for the purpose of advertising a brand of gasoline and certain make of car. Statistics have proved to us,” Cato said, “that excessive speed is the cause of a majority of motor vehicle deaths and accidents. It is my duty to see that no such wanton violations of highway laws are committed. Speed and endurance tests should be made on race tracks or places not being used by the public. We ask your cooperation to see that there are no more test runs on public highways. Complete Sequoia Road Next Summer Generals’ Highway connecting Sequoia and General Grant National parks will be opened to the general public sometime early next summer upon completion of work. Dan Cupid Scores As Marriages Again On Increase In State of California! Even Dan Cupid can boast a Blue Eagle—marriages are on the increase in California again! A sharp increase in marriages during July, August and September, as revealed by statistics of the state department of public health, has brought the total for the first nine months of the year well over that of the same period in 1932. The nine-month total for this year was 34,098 marriages as compared to 32,677 in 1932. In Orange county for the same period the figure was 2,945 for 1933 and 2,609 for 1932. "It is presumed that improved economic conditions, including re-employment, are responsible for the increases. The sharpness of the increase is emphasized through the fact that in February and March of the present year 174 and 148 fewer marriages were performed, as compared with corresponding months in 1932," the department reported. "During the first nine months of this year a total of 1,421 more marriages has been performed in the state, which represents an increase of 4.3 per cent." The most pronounced increases occurred in Siskiyou county where the number of marriages was more than doubled. San Luis Obispo, Solano, Sutter and Tehama counties also showed remarkable gains in proportion to their populations. Los Angeles county, with a gain of 521 marriages, recorded the greatest actual increase, and Orange, with an increase of 336 marriages, was next in order. Alphine county, the baby of the state, jumped from no marriages to one.
