ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 Orange County's Oldest Newspaper HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers NEWPORT VIADUCT OPENS There come to Orange county, upon Saturday, the dignitaries of our state government, including Gov. Frank Merriam, to conduct appropriate ceremonies for the dedication of the Newport Viaduct. Time for the dedication has been set for two o'clock, and our neighbors in Newport and Balboa beach have invited the people of the county to join them in the ceremonies. With the allure and the manifold attraction of our own coastline becoming more widely known as the days go by, traffic conditions along that part of the coast highway passing through Orange county inevitably will become increasingly heavy. The new viaduct will increase the facility with which heavy traffic can be handled, and at the same time, decrease the hazards of an important intersection, the latter reason being infinitely more important than the former. We congratulate the beach area upon an important addition to its highway system, and take pride in knowing that the automobile drivers locally will drive with an additional The new viaduct will increase the facility with which heavy traffic can be handled, and at the same time, decrease the hazards of an important intersection, the latter reason being infinitely more important than the former.

A MATTER OF DOLLARS AND CENTS Only five other diseases cause more deaths than does tuberculosis in California. The great majority of deaths from these diseases occur late in life, while nearly all deaths that occur from tuberculosis occur before the age of 50, particularly between the ages of 15 and 45. No other disease causes as much illness and suffering, as many disrupted homes, as does tuberculosis, which is afflicting more than 40,000 persons in California at the present time. But let us forget for the moment—if we can—the suffering and death which tuberculosis causes, and think of it only in terms of the dollars and cents it costs us. A low estimate of the cost of tuberculosis in California each year, based on the cost of loss of life, loss in wages, and expense of caring for tuberculosis patients, is more than $52,000,000. Who pays this loss? Individuals and their families, business and communities. How much does the community pay? This can only be estimated, but it is known that 86 per cent of all patients admitted to tuberculosis institutions in California are treated free of charge and 8 per cent pay only part of the cost of their care. Because the long period of illness caused by tuberculosis is expensive in treatment and because income is lost during that time, few individuals are financially able to pay for the cost of treatment. We have, in California, tuberculosis institutions valued at more than $18,500,000, and their annual maintenance expenditure is approximately $6,000,000. Yet, 18 per cent of the patients who enter these institutions leave in an unimproved condition, and 25 per cent of the patients die in the institution because they came to treatment too late. Why is this so? Because few cases of tuberculosis are found in the early or minimal stages. Medical authorities tell us that with the use of the tuberculin test to discover infection and the X-ray to discover disease, cases of tuberculosis can be discovered in their earliest stages, often before any special hospital treatment is necessary for their cure. The ordinary physical examination will not find these very early cases, and if we wait until physical symptoms of the... improved condition, and 25 per cent of the patients die in the institution because they came to treatment too late. Why is this so? Because few cases of tuberculosis are found in the early or minimal stages. Medical authorities tell us that with the use of the tuberculin test to discover infection and the X-ray to discover disease, cases of tuberculosis can be discovered in their earliest stages, often before any special hospital treatment is necessary for their cure. The ordinary physical examination will not find these very early cases, and if we wait until physical symptoms of the disease appear, tuberculosis will have progressed to its moderately advanced stage. Then why don't we use the tuberculin test and X-ray to discover cases early, you ask. From careful study, it has been shown that an adequate expenditure to carry on a general public health program would be approximately $2.50 to $3.00 per person per day in any American community. For the entire population of California of 6,275,000, this annual expenditure would be approximately $17,250,000. Contrast this with the annual loss of more than $50,000,000 from tuberculosis alone. We can purchase protection from tuberculosis but we have not done so. For more than half the population of California there is either no protection, or primitive, or inadequate protection from this disease. For the remainder of the population, there is in operation only fair preventive machinery to protect them from tuberculosis, except in a few communities. The California Tuberculosis association and its three score local tuberculosis associations throughout the state are now conducting their thirtieth annual Christmas Seal sale to raise funds to aid in the control of tuberculosis. The funds raised will be spent, as in the past, to find early cases of tuberculosis among school children and other groups of young people, and to aid and abet the official governmental health agencies in carrying on the battle against this disease. If you can see the dollars-and-cents value of fighting tuberculosis, you will contribute what you can to the tuberculosis associations' Christmas Seal sale and join with them in demanding that every community be served by an efficient, modern public health agency and every case of tuberculosis be discovered in its early stage.

NEW NATION— FAIRHAVEN, Oklahoma — one of Oklahoma's 77 counties failing to vote the demilitarized ticket for president and so this fall was Major county in the Kansas border. Her Major's county seat of Fair last week Publisher Gerald Cent Underwood and Editor Alonzo Carr of the Fairview publican" took matters into own hands, announced in paper: "Three states were saved the storm: Maine, Vermont Major. At a meeting of the plea of this great state early morning, it unanimously decided that Major county should from the union and go incident. Versing their thoughts surrounding counties who them down so ignominious was decided there was abject no respect to be committed from them nor the slightest gree of dignity lent and so fore the only sensible thing."

Sts were common because approaches to a busy spot fast-moving objects tond somebody got hurt. A few citizens in the coast began to investigate and that remedy was apparent.

So Newport citizens went to the county were advised that lack of prevented. By the state promised severs ago to pay half the ex- tence the county and city would be the other portion. The total amounted to near 1,000 and the two lesser were hard put for funds. J. P. Greeley, City EngiL. Patterson and a few suitable spirits persisted unl y the state agreed to bear more expense after the high question were turned over state. This year work began on overhead crossing and this NEWPORT HARBOR Newport harbor, Orange county's playground and recreational center, will get more dredging. Recently an effort was made to use some of the $100,000 the county received back from the federal government, but taxpayers objected on the ground that enough money had been spent for the present on the harbor. This, no doubt, is true, but one must remember that when a harbor project is put under way, work never ceases. A waterway is like a highway—it constantly needs attention, whether it be policing, repairing or enlarging is immaterial. At any rate Newport Harbor has more than 1100 boats using its shores as a haven, representing many thousands of dollars in taxable property, most of which goes into the coffers of Orange county. The mere effort to guard those craft and the matter of sanitation is just one of the many problems that confront Newport Beach. Some county officials do not believe that much money should be spent on the harbor, but the fact remains that Newport Beach is compelled, by the very nature of its location, to bear the burden of that vast body of water, although its environs are for the use of not only the county's 100,000 populations but no more HOMEWORK— WASHINGTON — As advisers surged around him to offer plans for the New Deal's second four years, President Roosevelt last week beamed and smiled, remained entirely non-commital as to what he would do, was purposely vague, at press conferences on all but two points: He firmly intended to regroup and reorganize his patchwork of government departments and alphabetic agencies; he once again urged U. S. citizens to celebrate Thanksgiving. Reason for his vagueness, which was practical as well as diplomatic, was that President Roosevelt was last week busily cramming for his annual fiscal examination, his budget message to congress in January. Eager to get away to Charleston, whence he planned to sail within a few days to the Pan American peace conference at Buenos Aires, Pupil Roosevelt studied intensively under his tutor, Budget Director Daniel Bell, who came daily to the White House to leave as homework the budget requests of one or two more departments. Unwilling to risk becoming a dull boy by too much work, the President also found time last week to engage in extra-curricular activities: He discussed with Colonel Edwin Halsey, secretary of the senate, plans for his reinauguration at noon on January 20; motored to Arlington cemetery on Armistice morning to watch General Pershing lay the Presidential wreath of white chrysanthemums Range Applications Close on Tuesday Word was received yesterday at the farm advisor's office that December 1 will be the closing date for filing applications for range improvement grants under the agricultural conservation act, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. Provisions of the range improvement program permit range owners and operators to earn grants for completing such range building practices as contouring, water development, construction of fences or fireguards by December 31, 1936. Any range owner or operator wishing further details my obtain the same by applying at the farm advisor's office. WASHED UP A piece in the paper the other day said a beautiful actress was taken into court in a town up the road charged failing to make a boulevard stop. The lady countered by saying the dingbat was so smeared she couldn't see it. The judge beamed over his spees and ordered her to get soap and water and clean the derm thing. No doubt she got a new contract. ROOSEVELT-du PONT— GREENVILLE, Delaware—From Greenville last week came announcement of the engagement of Harvard Senior Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 22, president Roosevelt's third son, and Ethel du Pont, 20, eldest daughter of retired Powdermaker Eugene du Pont, niece of Powdermakers Lammot, Pierre Samuel and Irenee du Pont. Miss du Pont said their June wedding would not be at the White House. AIR PRESSURE— WASHINGTON—U. S. airplane manufacturers, anxious for permission to sell advanced types of U. S. military planes to first-class foreign powers, have long exerted pressure in Washington, argued that foreign markets would enlarge their capacity to serve the U. S. in emergency, greatly reduce production costs. But the army and navy could see no reason why advanced models developed by U. S. government funds should be made immediately available to foreign powers, refused to listen to further argument. Weary of continued pressure, War Secretary Woodring last week joined Navy Secretary ANAHEIM, Calif., Nov. 26, 19 J. S. military plane exports in last six months: Argentina, 5,000; China, $948,012; Mexico, 9,904; Russia, $117,676; Brazil, 500; Holland, $1,162,600; Japan, 1,000; Ecuador, $125,550; Honduras, $14,950. FAIRHAVEN, Oklahoma—Only one of Oklahoma's 77 counties willing to vote the democratic ticket for president and senator falls was Major county, near Kansas border. Hence, in major's county seat of Fairview last week Publisher Gerald Vinat Underwood and Editor Cass Bonzo Carr of the Fairview "Republican" took matters into their hands, announced in their paper: "Three states were saved from the storm: Maine, Vermont and major. At a meeting of the people of this great state early this morning, it unanimously decided that Major county should secede from the union and go independent. Versing their thoughts on the surrounding counties who had let them down so ignominiously, it was decided there was absolutely respect to be commanded from them nor the slightest degree of dignity lent and so there are the only sensible thing to do." PICKFORD-ROGERS— HOLLYWOOD — Announced in Hollywood last week was the engagement of Cinemactress Mary Pickford ("America's Sweetheart"), 43, divorced wife of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., and Charles ("Buddy") Rogers ("America's Boy Friend"), 32, curly-haired cinemactor. IOWA SAILOR— WASHINGTON — Appointed chief of naval operations (No. 1 U.S. sailor) by President Roosevelt last week, Admiral William Daniel Leahy, commander of the battle force, will on January 1 succeed Admiral William Harrison Standley, who reaches the compulsory retirement age (64) next month. Two classes behind Admiral Standley at Annapolis, Iowa-raised Successor Leahy might today be one of Iowa's most prominent public figures had his parents not early taken him to live in Ashland, Wis., on Lake Superior, where he finished high school got his appointment to the U.Naval academy. Spry, trim Admiral Leahy, n. 61, has served as chief of the Bureau of ordinance and the bureau of navigation, had a hand in framing many a current naval policy. No stranger to Washington, whiche now lives and has frequent gone whenever duty permits. Admiral Leahy is not active but enjoys an occasion drink and chit-chat at the swa Army and Navy club or Chase Country club. Navy m who admire his prodigious physical endurance swear that they are not exaggerating when they tell how he once stayed on bridge for six weeks during maneuvers, relaxing only to short catnaps.
