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 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Fire Prevention Week is here. What are you going to do about it? If you are short-sighted, you will do nothing. If you have any interest in protecting your property and your family's lives, you will use Fire Prevention Week as an occasion for taking the simple, essential measures that usually suffice to make homes and places of business safe from the most common and dangerous fire hazards. Fire Prevention Week is not designed to sell anything. It is designed to serve—to conserve—to protect. During the Week insurance companies, civic bodies, fire experts and public officials will use the radio, newspapers, displays and printed literature in an effort to make you think and to make you act. In the average home grave hazards exist of which the owner knows nothing. Ignorance, as well as carelessness, is a prolific source of destructive fire. The simplest and most easily corrected causes are responsible for the great bulk of fires in dwellings. A slight fault in a heating plant may devastate a home. Accumulations of papers, clothes, furniture and other odds and ends require only a spark to burst into flame. Improperly stored fluids such as gasoline, benzine and kerosene are a constant menace. Amateur repairs of electric appliances and light cords cause millions of dollars loss annually. Paint or oil-soaked rags are often the cause of spontaneous combustion. An im- The simplest and most easily corrected causes are responsible for the great bulk of fires in dwellings. A slight fault in a heating plant may devastate a home. Accumulations of papers, clothes, furniture and other odds and ends require only a spark to burst into flame. Improperly stored fluids such as gasoline, benzine and kerosene are a constant menace. Amateur repairs of electric appliances and light cords cause millions of dollars loss annually. Paint or oil-soaked rags are often the cause of spontaneous combustion. An improperly protected hot electric iron, or cigarette ashes invite fires. It costs you nothing to eliminate these hazards, and takes little time. That small effort may save you thousands of dollars — and infinitely more important, save a life. Fire Prevention Week was inaugurated to serve you. Make the most of it. SPENDTHRIFT TERMS— Early last Spring we read of the almost frantic efforts of the Treasury to maintain "orderly conditions in the money market," but in spite of masterful financial manipulations we none the less witnessed an alarming sag in "governments." The situation, fortunately, was patched up in time for the continuance of "deficit financing" to the tune of another billion dollars or so before then end of the fiscal 1936. During the current summer things have gone along pretty smoothly outside of intermittent smatterings of "easy" and "weak" markets. With the coming of Fall, however, new "quarterly financing" must be faced. "Tightening of the money market," or in layman's language, higher interest rates on borrowed funds, must be avoided; therefore the "stage" must be set by further financial juggling. Likewise, the bond market has just taken another slide and must be "rescued." Whence came all these strange words and phrases; "deficit financing," "orderly conditions in the money market," "setting the stage," and "rescued"? The answer is simple. The public debt of the Federal government recently passed the $37,000,000,000 mark. The nation is continuing to go into debt at the rate of several billions of dollars annually. And, no effort has been made to correct this sad state of affairs. The average citizen, while he may know all the details of a big league baseball game, knows little or nothing of the government's financial affairs—and cares less.

The new rates, resulting from an informal investigation of the two companies will become effective on November 1. The telephone companies do not approve the change in rates, N. R. Powler, president of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, declared, but they will not oppose the new plan. Reductions were made in station-to-station and person-to-person calls, both for day and night service. The individual call reductions vary from five cents to a maximum of 50 cents. Powley, in his statement, said that heavy increases in pay rolls and taxes have cut the net incomes of the companies to such a point that reduction in rates is not warranted, adding, "In accordance with our announced policy, we desire to play our full part in being times in whispers, is that the supervisors employed some outside legal advice. Supervisors had declared that the supervisors employed some outside legal advice. Supervisors had declared that all chief deputies were to be put on the same basis, at $200 a month. Two of them—women—are wondering why they were left at $185.

Indications are it will take much longer for the necessary changes and amendments. The salary question has been the theme of much of the talk around the court house since it passed last week. The only satisfied people are those who got substantial raises, though a few were thankful to find they were not reduced. But these both are vastly outnumbered by those who got reductions, or smaller raises than they thought they should have. Some peculiar things popped up in connection with the whole deal. And probably more will come to light later as the regulations laid down begin to take effect. The district attorney himself questions the legality of some of the things in the ordinance. The natural query is, Then why did he draw it? The answer, some- FOR BEACH PARTY SAVE AT PIONEER ONLY 90¢ A DAY FOR 3 Wholesome Meals Challenger FAST ECONOMY TRAIN Passengers say, "It's more economical to eat on the Challenger than at home."

Composers Given New Opportunity "American composers are to be given an opportunity to have their work performed by large, well-balanced professional orchestras, throughout the United States," according to an announcement made today by Miss Harle Jervis, state director of the federal music project of California. "It is our plan to encourage American composers to submit works to the federal project where they will be given a reading before an audition of musicians. All works that qualify will be performed at public concert by project orchestras of California. Through our exchange service, we will be able to send the most noteworthy of such compositions to music projects in all parts of the United States where, we are sure, these works will be given a sympathetic hearing." Miss Jervis said. Lester Hodges, well known American musician, has recently been appointed to take personal charge of this important function of the federal music project in California. Composers are urged to send their music to Leon Eckles, district supervisor of the federal music project, at 431 W. Third St., Santa Ana.
