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 RING OUT THE OLD Within the week, Franklin D. Roosevelt will have entered into his second term as chief executive of the country, and both the federal congress and the state legislature will have begun their work of making law. Thus, shall our year of grace, 1937, be ushered in. This year, as, indeed, during the decade commencing in 1930, Americans have shown themselves possessed of a forthright courage, and of a desire—in the main—to remedy theills of their own country, before trying to solve the world's problems. The debacle of 1929 taught us how little is required in order to live in comparative happiness, and opened our eyes to the fact that the nation is, to a very large extent, the maker of its own destiny. Little by little, we have raised our vision, and taken an interest in problems of American government; indeed, in November's election, well on the way to fifty millions of people marked their ballot at the nation's polling places. As far as the mechanics of the new federal administration are concerned, one pronounced change—and improvement—is evident. This inauguration will be the first time for a President to take office in January; it will be the first time that he will not have to contend with what a "lamé duck" congress has muddled into law. Elected officials gathering in Washington are there to serve the public, and not—as was the custom under the old rule—to feather their nests in the closing moments of their respective careers. Senator George Norris, of Nebraska, father of the constituents. Yuletide Party Held by Kappa Delta Phi A Christmas dance in honor of Miss Charlotte Price, newly-initiated member, was held Christmas night by Eta Gamma chapter of Kappa Delta Phi at the Lakewood Country clubhouse. The clubhouse was decorated with Christmas trees and artificial snow. In the ballroom was a wood fire. Hostesses for the evening were Miss Claire Fisher of Anaheim and Mrs. Kathleen Williams of Long Beach. Other members present were Mrs. Lucille Maxwell, Mrs Mary Ferguson, Miss Charlotte Osborne, Mrs. Margaret Vaughan, Miss Alvena Miller, Mrs. Doris Hemmer, Mrs. Irene Lund, Miss Marge Patrick, Miss Nina Bush, Miss Vivian Goff, Miss Charlotte Price, Miss Eleanor Marsh and Miss Kathleen Faust. Miss Louise Johnson, a pledge, was also present. New Officers Installed by St. Agnes Guild Installation of new officers for 1937 marked the final meeting of the year of the St. Agnes Guild of St. Michael's church held Monday evening at the home of Miss Carrie Wilhelm, Palm and Cypress streets. Hostesses were the outgoing officers, Mrs. Kenneth Sloop, Mrs. Ed Howell, Mrs. Earle Jackson, Mrs. Edwin Wallace, Mrs. Harry Wilhelm, Miss Ada Wilcox and Mrs. Clyde Daniels. The new officers are Mrs Howell, directress; Mrs. H. D. Aker- the new federal administration are concerned, one pronounced change—and improvement—is evident. This inauguration will be the first time for a President to take office in January; it will be the first time that he will not have to contend with what a "lame duck" congress has muddled into law. Elected officials gathering in Washington are there to serve the public, and not—as was the custom under the old rule—to feather their nests in the closing moments of their respective careers. Senator George Norris, of Nebraska, father of the constitutional amendment which affected those changes, returns to Washington his year as an independent member of the upper house. He may be given full credit for these changes. From the head of our state government, Gov. Frank F. Merriam, come the encouraging words that no new tax measures—nor increases in the present ones—are necessary for operating the California government. And beyond that, he is quoted in the press as saying the present system of taxation will take care of the state's debt within a few years. It is considered an axiom that good business means less law. It is only in hard times that it is sought to remedy every economic ill through legislation. So, in ringing out the old, do it gladly, with a prayer of thanks that we leave the economic nightmares of the past that much farther behind us, and that we know how better to live; and in ringing in the new, do it with your eyes upon the future, a hope that it may bring better days, and a determination that—from top to bottom—our public servants give us an ever better government. ARTHUR BRISBANE PASSES The newspaper world and the general public alike feel the loss of a great man in the death Christmas day of Arthur Brisbane. To the newspaper world he was a great editor; to the general public he was an authority on events of the day. His daily column of comment on world activities was read each day by approximately 25,000,000 persons. Knowing this, Brisbane wrote to the people and for the people. He aimed to reach the millions who ordinarily find no time for the more dignified thoughts found on the editorial pages. Brisbane's education was that of observation. He was not a university man. Rather he studied man and learned from him. In return he wrote for man. THE PUBLIC IS THE DOCTOR A good many people including some editors and publishers, are getting themselves all worked up over the "waning power of the press," and "loss of confidence in newspapers." It is true that newspapers as a whole class are not what they might be. Neither are the doctors, teachers or ministers. There are people in every line whose selfishness reflects on the whole profession. There are bankers who abused the public's trust in them, but the public still trusts 1937 marked the final meeting of the year of the St. Agnes Guild of St. Michael's church held Monday evening at the home of Miss Carrie Wilhelm, Palm and Cypress streets. Hostesses were the outgoing officers, Mrs. Kenneth Sloop, Mrs. Ed Howell, Mrs. Earle Jackson, Mrs. Edwin Wallace, Mrs. Harry Wilhelm, Miss Ada Wilcox and Mrs. Clyde Daniels. The new officers are Mrs Howell, directoreess; Mrs. H. D. Akerman, assistant directoress; Miss Katherine Adams, secretary; Mrs. Arthur Dyckman, treasurer; Mrs. D. Howard Dow, historian; Mrs. Wilhelm and Mrs. Robert Rossberg, directors. Each of the officers was given a corsage, and Mrs. Sloop, outgoing directoress, was presented with a corsage and a Prayer Book. Mrs. Howell then took the chair and appointed her committees for the coming year. They are Mrs. Ralph Maas, Mrs. Jack Rust, membership; Miss Frieda Lumsdon, Mrs. Robert Rundstrom, ways and means; Mrs. Hugo Schulz, historian; Katherine Adams, social service; Mrs. Harry Horn, publicity; Mrs. Douglas Phillips, devotional; and Mrs. James Kilduff, courtesy. The remainder of the evening was spent in exchanging Christmas gifts and playing bridge. Prizes in bridge were awarded Mrs. Rossberg, Mrs. Dow, Mrs. Phillips and Miss Dorothy Yungbluth. The January meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Horn, 558 S. Ohio street. Library Official is Historical Speaker "American historians should be reading dime novels as well as presidential messages," declared Dr. Merle E. Curti, professor of history at Smith college, and associate member of the research staff of the Huntington Library, recently, as he addressed members of the Pacific Coast branch, American ideas haven't made adequate use of out-of-the-way material, including Fourth of July orations, election sermons, and books written for the masses, such as dime novels in the study of American intellectual history. They have given too much attention to 'high-brow' literature, and to formalized THE PUBLIC IS THE DOCTOR A good many people including some editors and publishers, are getting themselves all worked up over the "waning power of the press," and "loss of confidence in newspapers." It is true that newspapers as a whole class are not what they might be. Neither are the doctors, teachers or ministers. There are people in every line whose selfishness reflects on the whole profession. There are bankers who abused the public's trust in them, but the public still trusts banks. Too many newspapers are unfair, but there still are those who are not. If the public really is interested in a press which can be depended upon for fair and unbiased attitudes, let the public desert the individual papers that have proved themselves unworthy of confidence, and support those which have proved worthy. After all, the answer to the question is in the hands of the public. And ultimately the public will deliver its answer. —La Habra Star, "THE MAN WITH THE AD!" Who profits by the flood of "new money" released when a convention comes to town, or when the community stages a successful celebration? Answer: "The man with the ad!" As a case in point, consider San Francisco's recent experience with the giant San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge celebration! With $4,800,000 in extra spending money released during the week of the celebration, department stores which advertised extensively showed a 60 per cent increase in business; non-advertising stores reported a gain of only 20 per cent. And the bridge itself, most advertised feature of all, established a new world record for opening day bridge traffic — surpassing even the Philadelphia-Camden bridge opening in a much more populous area. There's a lesson for every merchant and every business man in that simple story. Business is on the upturn in every section of California. Depression is on the way out; recovery on the way in... And the man who gets the business, other factors being equal, will be "The man with the ad!"

Winter Cover Crop Is Help to Ground Farmers cooperating with the soil conservation service seeded more acres to cover crops this fall than ever before, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. Cover crops are more than rugs for rain-worn soils. Wherever cover crops can be seeded on clean cultivated land they reduce run-off and check soil erosion.. But cover crops do even more—they tend to increase the yields of regular farm crops.

PARKER, Agt., ANAHEIM, Union Pacific Station, Phone 3519 Doctor Speaks To Service Club Dr. Herbert A. Johnston, Anaheim physician and surgeon, was the speaker at Tuesday's meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club at which members of the Lions club were also guests. Dr. Johnston described the method of blood circulation in the human body as well as discussing the causes and cures of high blood pressure. He described the heart as the pumping plant of the system and the blood vessels as the conduits. The heart pumps about two quarts of blood per minute, the doctor said. Dr. Charles Schutz was program chairman for the day and introduced the speaker. Installation of officers for the coming year will feature the Kiwanis club's meeting next Tuesday, it was announced. Winter's Weather Seen as Warmer It is expected that it will be warmer in California this winter than it was last winter. Such is the statement from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla. Forecasts are based partly upon the surface temperatures of the ocean water, and a study of precipitation and temperature cycles. Records extending back several centuries, observed in clay varves and in tree rings, point to a definite long cycle or about 25 years.
