KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. PIONEER PASSES ON The death of B. F. Porter, known to his friends as Frank Porter, last Friday at his Orangethrope home removed another of our sturdy pioneers. He was one of the men who labored incessantly, through many heartbreaking years, to convert a desert into fruitful orchards and fields. Frank Porter stood in the forefront of the battle to make secure our precious water rights which make possible much of what we enjoy today. To him and to others, many of whom have gone to their reward, we of this generation owe a tremendous debt of gratitude. Frank Porter was so well known for his good judgment and fine character that during his active years he wielded a vast power for good in this community. He was a fine type of gentleman, a product of the old school. Sincere sympathy is extended to his family by all who know him and called him friend. YOU'RE IN BUSINESS NOW! The tourist season shortly will be on again full tilt. In Anaheim as well as the rest of the State, that means business —business we need, business we enjoy and business in which we have an inherent right to our share. But 47 other States also are bidding for the tourist trade, and spending nearly six million dollars this year to snare it. What can the average citizen do to nurture and sustain the tourist crop? Briefly, he can do his bit to make visitors like it here. He can act in a friendly manner when he's asked the usual monotonous tourist questions. He can put on a bright face... YOU'RE IN BUSINESS NOW! The tourist season shortly will be on again full tilt. In Anaheim as well as the rest of the State, that means business—business we need, business we enjoy and business in which we have an inherent right to our share. But 47 other States also are bidding for the tourist trade, and spending nearly six million dollars this year to snare it. What can the average citizen do to nurture and sustain the tourist crop? Briefly, he can do his bit to make visitors like it here. He can act in a friendly manner when he's asked the usual monotonous tourist questions. He can put on a bright face even though it hurts. He can write letters to relatives and friends who might be persuaded to vacation here instead of Florida or Maine or Mexico. He can send copies of the new Anaheim pamphlets, which the Chamber of Commerce will be glad to supply, to friends in the North and East or where they will do the most good. Every day a traveler prolongs his stay here means dollars in the till of California business of every kind, dollars that bounce along into other channels wholly unrelated to direct tourist trade. It's good, legitimate home industry—a business in which every Californian is an active partner.
