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. SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ..... $2.00 SIX MONTHS ..... $1.00 MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. CHEER FOR THE RED CROSS Within the next three weeks the American Red Cross will close its books on the 1938 flood disaster. Aside from the emergency expenditures the rehabilitation awards will run close to $60,000 in the Anaheim area. The county total will be close to $85,000. When one realizes that this money went to people who had exhausted all other means of financing themselves the amount of real good that it is doing becomes more apparent. Around 750 families, in this district, were put back into their normal way of living by the Red Cross. Perhaps the rug on the living room floor, the wife's fur coat or the stove in the kitchen is not up to the same high standard as before the inundation but the usability is there. The family is again a unit and the living standard is still on a real American plane. It is nobody's business just who or how much these people in need received. It was not charity either. In years to come, we believe, almost all of those receiving Red Cross aid in this disaster will donate back to that great institution all or a large portion of the help they were tendered. We say, again, that the Red Cross and its local officers deserve the admiration and support of all. They have done a splendid job and in any emergency we know they are ready to serve. SEE LITIGATION IN DAM LAND DEALS Observers of the proceeding under which the county is tempting to acquire rights on for the flood control damage overflow lands at Prado province that the county will be engage considerable litigation before job is done. It is going to be a rather intricate one. After some months of delay board selected Charles Chandler of Santa Ana as agent to sell options on the desired lands has made considerable progress but some of the options he sees have not been acted on and about to expire. Part of the difficulty seen be that no arrangements have been made by which the rent is to be made available for purchases. The bonds have sold and the supervisors can ahead legally and buy the under option, but so far the method of closing has not been seen. Usually the deals are put in crow but the buyer has to pay the cash consideration with escrow. None of the deals have been carried that far as yet. Some of the properties within the county must have are paid estates in process of settlement and some already are in litigation as between heirs. In another heirs all live in England. It is nobody's business just who or how much these people in need received. It was not charity either. In years to come, we believe, almost all of those receiving Red Cross aid in this disaster will donate back to that great institution all or a large portion of the help they were tendered. We say, again, that the Red Cross and its local officers deserve the admiration and support of all. They have done a splendid job and in any emergency we know they are ready to serve. However, in years to come, we hope to have them calling on Anaheim to make up her quota instead of Anaheim calling on them for help. PROGRESS BEFORE PUNISHMENT Speaking from the bench of his traffic court recently, a New York City magistrate read a formal statement: "We have reached," he said, "the peak of safety that can be accomplished by the punishment of the motorist." Specifically, his complaints were against certain inadequacies and inefficiencies in the physical and technical system for controlling today's mammoth traffic volume—in the street system itself, in traffic signals, signs and other control devices, and the confusing lack of uniformity among such devices. The magistrate's remarks hit at a situation which is fundamental to the whole motor traffic problem: The failure to provide the motorist with streets and highways made as safe as possible, but at the same time demanding from him an optimum of caution in his driving. Too much emphasis has been placed on the carelessness of the driver and not enough on the carelessness which allows removable physical hazards to remain in the street and highway pattern. Industry, the National Conservation Bureau reminds us, long ago learned this lesson. Efforts to dragoon the working man into avoiding accidents, industrial management learned, were futile until he was first provided with safe working conditions and equipment. Just trying couldn't safeguard a worker in a hazardous environment. That management recognized an dacted upon this principle is the fundamental reason why industrial accidents have been halved during the past 20 years. If the driver is given facilities from which hazard has been removed to the greatest possible degree, and if he is governed by intelligent traffic laws intelligently enforced, the major responsibility for traffic accidents develops upon him. Then we shall make real headway not only in bringing motor traffic under control but in greatly facilitating traffic movement. HIGH COST OF LIVING The old demon, the high cost of living, is again in the headlines. The tremendous slump in business has made it a ahead legally and buy the under option, but so far the end of closing has not been seen. Usually the deals are put up crow but the buyer has to pay the cash consideration with escrow. None of the deals been carried that far as yet. Some of the properties where the county must have are paid estates in process of settlement and some already are in litigation as between heirs. In another heirs all live in England. It is expected that in some es the county will be obliged go ahead and occupy the under the right of eminent main, and then settle the value court later on. All in all, the acquisition of the properties necessary will considerable of a job. CANDIDATES. PRINTERS—WATCH YOUR STEP This is a political year. This will be a lot of candidates for office. As the campaign temperatures there will be a lot of propaganda issued. It might be a good idea if any candidate, political writer vertising man, press agents, lisher and printer pasted in hat a few facts about the governing use of printed vertising material. Section 62a of the penal says it is a misdemeanor for person intentionally to write print or distribute, or cause to be done, of any sort of circular pamphlet or poster, designer injury OR DEFEAT any candidate by reflecting on his personal act or political action, ex there appear on such printed letter the names of those persons sponsible for it. Section 62b makes the price of any such printed matter go of a misdemeanor if he does to it his name, showing print office at which it was printed. Another point for candidate and publishers to remember that California law requires bills for campaign expenses. Be submitted within 10 days must be paid within 12 days election. If longer delayed the candidate and the creditor held criminally liable. This point came up for the time a year or so ago when a candidate went to court and got order permitting him to pay old bill to the Huntington B News. The court order was been removed to the greatest possible degree, and if he is governed by intelligent traffic laws intelligently enforced, the major responsibility for traffic accidents desolves upon him. Then we shall make real headway not only in bringing motor traffic under control but in greatly facilitating traffic movement. HIGH COST OF LIVING The old demon, the high cost of living, is again in the headlines. The tremendous slump in business has made it a very real problem to millions of families. In the light of that fact, it would seem that this is a very poor time for the proposal of legislation to destroy merchandising methods whose cardinal principle of operation is to give the buyer more and better goods for less money. And yet laws are being proposed, aimed at bigness and efficiency, which would levy so excessive a tax against mere size that increased prices, dissolution, or both, would be forced. Whatever the politicians say, measures like these hit straight at the poor—at those who have the greatest stake in economical merchandising. The great need of today is a lower cost of living—not a higher. Banks Entering New Branch of Business Many large-scale retailers who are handling their own "time payments" accounts are welcoming the advent of banks into the consumer credit field, according to A. P. Giannini, chairman of the board of Bank of America. "Merchants are finding many advantages in this newer phase of banking," said Giannini. "It puts their business on a cash basis, gives them a more rapid turnover of money, better buying power and improved profits." "It leaves the merchant free to concentrate on his merchandising, and places the financing end with the bank, where it really belongs." ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY WATCHTOWER A Compilation of Observation and Comment by and for the Weekly Newspapers of the County: Bentington Beach News Newport Beach News Garden Grove News Habra Star North Coast News Buena Park News Yorba Linda Star Mesa Globe Centella Courier Tustin News Coastline Dispatch LITIGATION IN THE LAND DEALS Observers of the proceedings over which the county is attending to acquire rights of way the flood control dam and flow lands at Prado prophecy the county will be engaged in adherable litigation before the is done.

In another case heirs all live in England. publican nomination for congressman. The affair is being watched with much interest. Numerous questions have come up, and nobody pretends to know all the answers. A check of a fair cross-section of the Orange countians indicates that the big majority are going to the meeting with minds open. One interesting point is that almost universally the delegates deplore the tendency of candidates to file as candidates in more than one party primary, a procedure which has been growing increasingly common in recent years. It would not be surprising to see a resolution offered which will say that the delegates are opposed to the practice and believe that each candidate should stick to the primary of his own party. COMPENSATION The controversy over the new county officers' salary and fee ordinance is coming to a head. Some sort of a lawsuit will be filed before long in an attempt to settle it. A good many people have been surprised to find that the state constitution gives supervisors the right to fix the compensation of most county officers. But it also provides that this compensation cannot be increased during an official's term of office. One nice legal point will be the question of whether "compensation". Anaheim 4H-ers Win Many Prizes Awards given for outstanding entries of 4H club members in the Rabbit and Poultry show recently held by the Brea Go-Getters 4H club have been announced. In the rabbit division entries made by members of the Brea club took most awards. In the poultry and pigeon division most awards were given to other clubs.

Allen got into a tilt with Mrs. Nora Allen, head of the probation department last week. The legal technicalities are of less interest than the fact that general opinion around the court house is the judge stepped into a cactus patch. Rumors persist that Supervisor N. E. West is planning to run for congress on an independent ticket. Dick Haster is the latest mention as a candidate for supervisor from the Second district, but not if Mitchell decides to run again.

Two Iron Lungs are Available in County Two respirators of the type known as "iron lungs" are now available to residents of Orange county. One is the Standard Drinker adult model, recently purchased for the county hospital, and the other is a baby model of the Drinker respirator and is at the Cottage hospital in Fullerton. Both were made possible through the combined efforts of the press and public interest. A Fullerton druggist who sponsored a basketball team made possible the funds for the purchase of the baby "iron lung." His team played a series of benefit games this spring.
