IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 Years Ago June 26, 1890 Music hall was filled on Friday evening last with an audience of several hundred people who gathered to witness the school entertainment and graduating exercises of the class of 1890. The graduating class—Neill E. Bailey, Gertrude Snyder, Elmer Holman, Lena Snodgrass and Carrie Kellogg were seated upon the stage. School Trustees Higgins, Brown and Goldthwaite also occupied chairs upon the stage, and Principal Garwood acted as master of ceremonies. The hall was decorated with the national colors and evergreens. At the back of the stage was the Latin inscription, "Finis Coron Opus." The first essay was that of Neill Bailey, "California," which was read in a loud clear voice and evoked much interest. Elmer Holman followed with, "Our Government," Carrie Kellogg with, "Looking Forward," Lena Snodgrass "Education," and Gertrude Snyder, "Failure." Presentation of diplomas followed reading of the essay, Neill Bailey presented Mr. G. Wood with a gold scarf pin on behalf of the graduating class. The other teachers were each presented with tokens of esteem. 25 Years Ago June 24, 1915 A petition is being circulated and numerously signed, to be presented to the city trustees, to have dirt streets abutting residence property sprinkled the entire distance. A new order has been given that sprinkling is to begin 50 feet from either side of all intervening paved streets. This leaves a strip of road that gets very dusty and full of chuck holes, greatly to the annoyance of residents. The petitioners ask that the water wagon traverse the entire distance over the dirt roads, as the dust from the unsprinkled strip is in many localities unbearable, especially in summer. The Anaheim City band will give its first open air concert at the library on South Los Angeles street on Thursday night, July 1. The concerts will be continued weekly through the summer months. A class of eleven was confirmed at the Lutheran church Sunday by Rev. H. D. Schmelzer. The names were Herman Ahrens, Albert Frahm, Edward Fisher, Henry May, Arnold May, Sorria Boons, Gertrude Hahn, Mata Hahn, Lillie Between the Headlines (Continued from Page 3) northern states usually do the picture.

The fact of Germany's age is not, of itself, sur An enthusiastic meeting of citizens interested in the establishment of a cannery and fruit dryer in Anaheim assembled at Kroeger's hall on Saturday afternoon last, in response to an invitation extended in these columns last week. The meeting was called in view of the prevalence of a report that Cook & Langley, the fruit-shipping firm, had purchased the Fullerton cannery, and that it was deemed advisable to have the business located at this point. This report never was premature, but a discussion of the merits of a cannery and fruit dryer was entered into. Messrs. Sorenson, Keith, Rimpau, Zeyn, Littlefield Porter, Henry, Carroll, Crowther and P. Davis spoke favorably upon the subject. Much of our fruit now going to waste could be utilized and other fruit now being shipped to Riverside where it is dried and placed upon the market with the Riverside label could be utilized here at home. Tim Carroll agreed to contribute a lot of land, near the Southern Pacific depot, with side track, free of charge, as a site for the establishment. Finally a motion prevailed that the meeting adjourn until next Saturday afternoon at the same place, there and then to perfect arrangements for the organization of a cannery and fruit dryer, to elect officers and give attention to such other business as may properly come before the meeting. An invitation is extended to all fruit growers in the valley to the present. A lunch basket was found on the street car by Lloyd Bailey on Thursday last, and left at Everharty's stable temporarily "Pat" Gousand, the champion curry-comb artist desires to return thanks to the owner for a fine dish of strawberries which he found within the basket and for the disappearance of which he is directly responsible. The basket may be found at Fox and Butler's tonnage. A class of eleven was confirmed at the Lutheran church Sunday by Rev. H. D. Schmelzer. The names were Herman Ahrens, Albert Frahm, Edward Fisher, Henry May, Arnold May, Sorria Boons, Gertrude Hahn, Mata Hahn, Lillie Knudson, Dora Gerken, Esther Abraham. William H. Spurgeon, founder of Santa Ana, and one of the leading figures in Orange County, died at his Santa Ana home Sunday night at the age of 85 years. In 1870 Mr. Spurgeon bought the tract where Santa Ana now stands. It was then a wild mustard patch scattered over with sycamore trees. Mr. Spurgeon laid out the town, dug a well, started a store and got the Los Angeles to San Diego stage to change its route to take in Santa Ana. He was one of the leaders in the fight for the formation of Orange county and was a member of its first board of supervisors. He lived to see the town he founded grow to a city of 14,000. In the early 70's he was married in Santa Ana to Miss Jennie English. She and a daughter, Mrs. R. L. Bishby and two sons, W. H. and Robert, survive him. The Right Rev. Bishop Conaty will administer the sacrament of confirmation to a class of 140 at St. Boniface Catholic church this morning at 10 o'clock. The Bishop will be accompanied by a number of Catholic clergymen who with him will be guests of Father Dubble. His visit here will be a notable event as it is his first visit in three years. Following the confirmation he will preach to the congregation. The Fullerton city council has let the contract for the paving of the Brea road from the bridge to the city limits to the O & O Construction company for $38,000. Including the premiums the bond issue brings $38,700, nearly what the total cost will be. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Rea have returned from a visit to the San Diego exposition. Mr. Rae speaks in terms of great praise concerning the fair and says it is well MACHINE-AGE WAR PROaches after the ever useless, but perhaps the most numerical superiority over allies in the engines of warfare may serve as a welcome elsewhere. The fact of Germany's age is not, of itself, since—the entire German has been little else but a good arms factory for years; not butter" has long been Nazi watchword. But the at least two to one, of German machine supremacy over their bined allies is startling. The result of the allies' being able to keep up with German rate of production, for they have outproduced her by way that they just failed to the effort. In 1938, when the factories were turning on swarms of tanks and devise the planes which won them of Flanders, France was midst of the famous six strikes which all but paralyzed industry. Britain was cost of the armaments probably would have been quite insurance against war doubtedly many of these men were sit down strikers in Paris France are now lying until soil their lives sacrificed lack of those weapons which themselves failed to produce prime minister Chamberlain speeches when action was still and his words are now paid for with young lives thousand. Germany pre-tanks, the democracies pre-only talk. Duff Cooper, new minister of information revealed that even after Munich conference, when lack of preparedness stood for all-the-world to see berlain did not speed up breaking of game laws.

Between the Headlines (Continued from Page 1) Northern states usually dominate the picture. So the Paulistas, feeling they lack a political voice in keeping with their financial importance, have frequently rebelled against northern-elected administrations. So the rivalry between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo has kept Brazil a nation divided, and whither there is any such national unity, there you will find a battle field for the fifth columns of Nazism, Fascism, Communism, urge and influential German populations in Sao Paolo and throughout the Brazilian southern cities. Sao Paolo and Porto Alegre have often been described as virtually German cities, add to Hitler's opportunity. In the past the combination of a rich prize and means to secure it have always meant action to the dictators. Washington obviously fears today that the old pattern may be in process of repetition as the United States uneasily watches her neighbors to the South. MACHINE-AGE WAR — Recoaches after the event areeless, but perhaps the process which led to Germany's present numerical superiority over thefiles in the engines of modern warfare may serve as a warning elsewhere. In fact, the prime minister deliberately slowed up the pace of the British armament program. Apparently he was convinced that his talks with Hitler had ended the danger of war for many years at least. It was not until Italy siezed Albania and Germany invaded Bohemia and Moravia that high speed armament was attempted. Chamberlain admitted only that he had been mistaken. In his most recent speech, Prime Minister Churchill said courage alone was not enough, since man could not stand up against the steel of machines. He described the battle of Flanders as a colossal military disaster. But he did not say what many must be thinking, that adequate supplies of planes and tanks probably would have averted that disaster, have saved Belgium, that the lack Man Loses Leg Fullerton M William Howry, 39, of wood, an employee of the shows which was staging of such supplies is the ability which must always on the shoulders of or Chamberlain!
