50 Years Ago Nov. 24, 1887 We daily read with pleasure the many flattering notices about ourselves in the newspapers, which our modesty bids us not to republish in our columns. But the notices are appreciated all the same, and when we print as many pages as the Redlands Citrograph we shall have more room to print more good news about Anaheim, its boom, etc., and possibly something about what the papers say about us, and we shall never quit the business either, until our sheet is typographically as neat as Bro. Craig's valuable twenty-page newspaper. Thanksgiving day is the day of all others in the year that is devoted by the American people to good living. The custom of observing the day by a dinner that for a variety of good things elipses all other days of the year has descended through all generations of Puritan stock until the custom of a good dinner on Thanksgiving day including the time-honored roast turkey and cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie has come to be an occasion of national obesrvance. We celebrate this time-honored custom today. Everybody will have the turkey and sauce and pumpkin pie. While hunting at Yorba last Sunday Mr. George Amerige had the misfortune to receive a sever contusion to the forehead through the bursting of the barrel of his gun while being discharged. Anaheim at noon the same day. Of course, the professor's fast team compired to the rapid transit. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will serve a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner at Kroeger's hall this evening and all desirous of an elegant dinner will do well to be in attendance. We are reliably informed that it is the intention of Messrs. Backs to fit up the second story of their new building on Los Angeles street as a commodious hall for balls, parties, etc. It is probable the Tryloers will occupy the hall as an armory. 25 Years Ago Nov. 28, 1912 Among the magnificent improvements which have been made at Fullerton recently is the resolve of its enterprising people to pave nine miles of its streets. The city has also in contemplation the construction of a splendid sewer system. The city has recently erected one of the finest group of high school buildings in the state, has voted large sums for the construction of a municipal water works system and another large sum for improvement of its streets and construction of bridges. Fullerton is coming to be known as one of the most progressive cities in California. In its splendid purpose to pave nine miles of streets it is setting an excellent example for this city to follow. Members of the Fullerton city council and the road com- it on your shoulders," said Boldt, "I'll give it to you." Mr. Boege picked it up, placed it on his shoulder and walked with it. Then he returned, placed it in position saying that while belonged to him according to Boldt's promise, he would leave in possession of that gentleman. For a number of years worthy couple have lived in the handsome home on West Cedar street. Mr. Boege is no longer active business, having transferred his business to his sons. May and his good wife and family long and continue to prosper. Wm. Crowther, president of the Anaheim Union Water company was in town on Saturday being kept busy at the water fice with business details affecting irrigators. Mr. Crowther's hobby is that irrigators in the U.W. company district shall served with water free the comm year as well as for several years thereafter. The company will cease from its oil royalties in more than $100,000 and as will more than pay for the expense of delivering, the belting the stockholders should be given the benefit of free water. Standing bonds of the company will not mature for some yeas and its indebtedness of $300 cannot be met until that time. Company is in the pink of financial condition and will probably offer a premium for the demption of its outstanding debtedness. A. T. Pendleton, A. Pierott, H. Hale and Ralph McFaec were in town from Place Discussion attending inequality While hunting at Yorba last Sunday Mr. George Amerige had the misfortune to receive a severe contusion on the forehead through the bursting of the barrel of his gun while being discharged. A special theatrical train passed through Anaheim last night bound for Miss Mather's performance of "Juliet" in Los Angeles. A number of people attended. A generous rain descended on Tuesday night, and the indications are at this writing that more liquid will be dispensed by Jupiter Pluvius. Total rainfall for the storm, 75. A. E. Hendricks house east of town is completed and is receiving its first coat of paint. Theo Rimpau's residence is undergoing the same operation. N. H. Mitchell has completed an extensive addition to the Fashion stables. At present he has accommodations for about one hundred horses. Gustave Zeyn, who has been attending the University of California at Alameda for the past year, returned home last Saturday evening. Mr. Zeyn will enjoy the hospitalities of his folks in Anaheim until next February, when he will depart for the north to resume his medical studies. Professor Frank Ey made the fastest trip to South Riverside and return last Sunday, of which the record shows any proof, and claims the championship. The professor took breakfast at home at 6:30 that morning, drove to Burrel Point, took the Riverside express there, landed in the town of boom and wind, was seen and took in everything to be seen thereabout and returned in time to take dinner with his family in group of high school buildings in the state, has voted large sums for the construction of a municipal water works system and another large sum for improvement of its streets and construction of bridges. Fullerton is coming to be known as one of the most progressive cities in California. In its splendid purpose to pave nine miles of streets it is setting an excellent example for this city to follow. Members of the Fullerton city council and the road commission visited Orange on Monday to watch the crew of a paving company laying paving on South Glassell street. They will go to Orange again when the surface coats are being put down. Those visiting Orange were B. F. Balcomb, E. S. Richman, W. T. Brown, R. S. Gregory, J. A. Fridd, and City Engineer W. J. Renshaw. Mr. and Mrs. Tim Boege were tendered a reception and family dinner at the home of their son-in-law, Joseph Hessel, at the West End on Sunday in honor of the 45th anniversary of their wedding. Fifteen members of their family were present and the worthy couple were recipients of congratulations from all. A sumptuous repast was served and many handsome and valuable gifts were bestowed upon the happy couple. Mr. Boege will be 76 years of age the first of next March. His wedding to Miss Luedke 45 years ago was a society event of the early days, and a large concourse of Pioneer residents were present to participate in the festivities. Ten children were born to the couple, all of whom survive and have grown to honored stations in the community. Mr. Boege was known in the early days as one of the most powerful men in the colony. He did a teaming business between this city and Anaheim Landing and though nothing of making a dead lift of 300 pounds. On one occasion Mr. Boldt, a pioneer, had difficulty in moving a 25-gallon cask of wine. Mr. Boege twitted him upon his inability to move it advantageously. "If you can put Citrus Fertilization Plans Are Made by University Specialists Economy in the fertilization of acre. It is recommended that... Citrus Fertilization Plans Are Made by University Specialists Economy in the fertilization of citrus groves has been given consideration by the citrus research and extension staff of the University of California. In a recent conference of the staff a fertilizer program was approved which is believed will save the orchardist considerable sums of money. Adequate fertilization of citrus orchards may be accomplished at a cost of from $25 to $40 per acre. Three programs for fertilization have been worked out by the advisors, but only the first plan is recommended. The plan recommended is known as the "maintenance" program and is believed to be the cheapest possible plan for adequate fertilization. It provides for the use of 6,000 pounds of dry decomposible organic matter per acre per year, supplemented with 100 to 125 pounds per acre of nitrogen from the cheapest commercial source. As much as 2,000 pounds per acre of the organic matter can come from winter cover crops and some summer weed growth, while the remaining 4,000 pounds can come from five tons of high grade manure which contains 40% organic matter. The cheapest source of nitrogen is believed to be 500 pounds of ammonia sulfate per acre. It is recommended that manure be applied in the latter half of the year, and the sulphate of ammonia or other simple nitrogen fertilizer applied in late winter. The second plan was arranged for the orchardist who is compelled to make further economies in carrying on his grove. This provides for the spreading of 150 pounds of nitrogen per acre, the nitrogen to come from the cheapest commercial source. This quantity should be applied in two spreadings, or 75 pounds in late winter and 75 pounds in the summer. It is pointed out that this plan is only a temporary one, and will aid in carrying the orchard over a period of two or three years. The cost is placed at $12 to $15 per acre. A third plan was devised for the orchardist who cannot spend any money on fertilizer. This plan is based entirely upon soil management, and the recommendations are changed as to each individual orchard. A fertilizer practice bulletin prepared by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg for Orange county conditions is available at his office upon request. Speath and Hans Storm, show its superiority over the Hollywood team, composed of Leonard W. and Lawrence Mitchell, by winning the first debate of the season in the Southern Californiading league series.

Parker Dam on Colorado River Now has Elevation of 230 Feet Known as "the deepest dam in the world," Parker dam today is 230 feet high, and yet its highest point is three feet below the bed of the Colorado river. Metropolitan Water district headquarters was informed that Monday's pour of concrete brought the highest block in the dam to an elevation which is just three feet below that of the original river bed at the dam site. Being constructed as an integral part of the Metropolitan aqueduct, Parker dam will divert water into that 392-mile water supply system, and will create a reservoir 45 miles long, having a capacity of 700,000 acre feet. Unusual because of the great depth of its underwater structure, Parker dam is being built on the Colorado river approximately 150 miles south of Boulder dam. In order to reach a bedrock foundation, it was necessary to excavate to a depth of 235 feet below the river bed and to remove more than 1,700,000 cubic yards of earth and rock. Placing of concrete in this huge excavation was started on July 29, 1937, and by Monday night more than 190,000 cubic yards of concrete had been placed in the dam, bringing the highest point in the structure to a point 230 feet above the bottom of the foundation. When completed the dam will contain approximately 280,000 cubic yards of concrete and will have a maximum overall height of 388 feet. The Colorado river's surface will be raised 70 feet back of the dam. Construction progress reports, which include work on Parker dam, indicate that at the present time the entire Metropolitan aqueduct system is approximately 70 per cent completed. Stretching clear across the state of California, the aqueduct will take a billion gallons of water daily from the Colorado river and deliver it to Anaheim and 12 other nearby cities on the coastal plain. Based on progress made to date, it is believed that the water system will be put into operation in 1939.

Light Dimming is Patrol Campaign California motorists who refuse to dim their headlights when meeting oncoming vehicles today were warned by Chief E. Raymond Cato of the California highway patrol that they are violating the law. Custom of Left Hand Driving in England Traced Why does the English motorist drive on the left side of the road and the American on the right? Seeking an explanation of this frequent question, the Automobile Club of Southern California dug into the records of the past and found one possible answer to the custom. In the olden days traveling on an English road was a risky adventure. Lone horsemen rode about armed to the teeth and every stranger was a potential enemy. So the rider kept to the left of the road for safety in order to keep his sword or pistol arm on the side next to the stranger. Later, drivers of coaches and wagons sat on the right side in order to have their right arm free for wielding the whip. As a result they kept on the left side of the road as it was easier to avoid wheel entanglements with approaching vehicles. In America and on the continent, however, the position system was commonly used for both coaches and wagons and the driver redee on the left wheel horse. Accordingly, vehicles kept to the right side of the road. Only one United States possession, the Canal Zone, observes the custom of driving to the left. This is said to have resulted because the first chauffeurs coming into Panama were from Jamaica, where the British method of passing prevails. Collections of ceramics from all over the world will be shown at the 1939 World's Fair of the West on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. L. W. BLODGET and THOMAS H.

Raymond Cato of the California highway patrol that they are violating the law. Calling attention to the dimming law passed by the 1937 legislature and now in full effect, Chief Cato said: "Under this new provision the dimming of headlights passes out of the 'courtesy code' and becomes a part of the motor vehicle code. "Glaring headlights have become a glaring violation of the law and rules of the road. Officers of the patrol have been instructed to watch for those who refuse to dim their headlights and by this refusal imperil other motorists." The new law specifies that headlights be dimmed when the motorist approaches within 500 feet of the oncoming vehicle and that they remain dimmed until the vehicles have passed. SANITARY LAUNDRY FLUFFED BLANKETS ARE WARM AND SOFT AS NEW We use the Woolen Mill methods, with IVORY SOAP and ZERO SOFT WATER. Ordinary washing or home laundering of blankets shrinks and mats down the long fluffy nap, destroying the thousands of tiny air pockets that give blankets their warmth.
