Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Subscription Per Year, $2.00 — Six Months $1.00 Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. BEST YEAR IN HISTORY! Mid-year reports of 200 leading department stores in California and other Pacific Coast States tell a cheerful story of busy cash registers and booming sales. "On the basis of the first half of the current year," notes the Pacific Coast Edition of the Wall Street Journal, "stores are heading for their best year in history from a sales standpoint." After a decade of depression, with dwindling sales and staggering deficits, California merchants can use a bit of good news—and the cash that comes with it. And the folks who are buying now, and contributing to the spurt in department store business, are entitled to a spending spree, too. After long years of going without, a few of the little luxuries of life are doubly appreciated. This editor, in common with most editors, is very tired of reporting bad news—and it's a pleasure, indeed, to write about "best years in history." We hope there'll be many more of 'em. California's Anti Sabotage Act apparently has real teeth in it. First judicial decisions handed down under the new law indicate that it will be interpreted by the courts to prohibit any and all picketing which interferes with national defense industries. A moot issue, still to be determined, is weather industries producing war materials for Britain are to be classed as part of the national defense structure. Churchmen throughout the country are barraging Congress against enactment of that bill which would compel husband and wife to file joint income tax reports. Leaders of the church insist the act puts a penalty on marriage and would make it cheaper to live in sin than in holy wedlock! Governor Olson and Lieutenant Governor Patterson, who told each other to "Go to hell" (and publicly) just a few months ago, have smoked the pipe of peace and signed a mutual assistance pact, our spy advises.

At least that will be the case of 1942 cars produced by the Ford Motor Company, according to McCoy Motor Co., local Ford dealer, who said they were quoting R. M. McCarroll, noted company metallurgist. Bringing the first factual statements to Southland motorists, after a maze of confusing rumors which had predicted everything from no new cars at all next year to "ersatz" models, McCarroll's statements were said to answer many important questions of paramount interest. "The thing I want to stress is that the Ford Motor Company very definitely will not build an 'ersatz' car made up of inferior materials next year," the local dealer asserted. "It appears from Mr. McCarroll's statements that the cars will cost slightly more to build, and will be slightly heavier." It was pointed that specification changes would be necessary in 1942 cars, to restricted use of certain metals essential to national defense. "But," McCoy Motor Co., said, "we are advised it will be possible to substitute iron for zinc and aluminum in many instances, without loss of quality because..." "It appears from Mr. McCarrall's statements that the cars will cost slightly more to build, and will be slightly heavier." It was pointed that specification changes would be necessary in 1942 cars, to restricted use of certain metals essential to national defense. "But," McCoy Motor Co., said, "we are advised it will be possible to substitute iron for zinc and aluminum in many instances, without loss of quality, because corresponding or compensating changes in design will be made." "Nickel will be eliminated from the steel used for valves. Ordinarily, this would tend to reduce the 'hot strength' of the valves, but this possibility is eliminated by a compensating design change. Another example of a different kind is the change from a zinc die cast instrument panel to a plastic panel." Three months ago, when the government list of metals was first received, Ford metallurgists began a study of some of the 15,000 parts that make up Ford cars. Early estimates indicate use of nickel can be cut nown 80 percent, aluminum 50 percent and zinc 50 percent, according to research engineers. Plactics, copper, steel and iron will be the chief replacements, and it is said, the new parts are in many cases distinctly better than the old, and often improved in appearance. Slight Injuries In Car Crash A crash between cars driven by Willis J. Fink, Anaheim, and F. G. Prescott, Manhattan Beach, at the junction of Broadway and Manchester last Sunday resulted in slight injuries being received by Fred Cunningham, Corona. Cunningham, riding in the Fink car, sustained a bruised left side and did not require medical attention. No injuries were sustained by riders in the Prescott car. Both autos were somewhat damaged.

Such is the story of Thomas H. Hollingworth, who came to Anaheim in 1903, and, outside of a brief sojourn in Oregon, has lived in the place of his choice ever since. Born in Beatrice, Nebraska, July 13, 1865, he lived there until he attained his majority. In 1887, Ellen Wade, a charming miss, became his bride, sharing the hardy rural life of the pioneers with the stalwart youth; the ceremony taking place at a rural church near Ruskin, Neb. In 1903 he came to California, bringing with him a carload of household goods, farming equipment, three horses, one cow, a large flock of poultry, blacksmith outfit and other material needed in farming. Acquiring a plot of ground he applied himself diligently to establishing a means of livelihood, living at the time in the house he now occupies. His efforts attracted the attention T. J. Jones, at that time a senator, who induced him to put in his crops. The work required longer than expected and to this day Hollingworth laughingly bemoans the fact that he had no time to plant his own corn. In 1905 he received an appointment from Washington, D.C., as carrier on rural route four, having successfully passed a civil service examination. For 15 years he and his mail delivery wagon were daily seen on the route, the routine being broken only by such holidays as the postal department allowed. During his service he formed a lasting friendship with Ella Wheeler Wilcox, famed authoress living at that time on the Del Sur ranch. To him she dedicated the well-known poem "Coming of the Others that he recalls serving were: William Mauerhan, who at present lives in the Katella district. At that time Mauerhan was called the "chili king," due to his extensive dealing in that condiment. J. B. Neff, rancher and horticulture authority; several others who are still in the environ of their choice. At the time of Hollingworth's appointment Sheldon Littlefield was postmaster, the postoffice being on the lot next to where the Building and Loan Co. now is. The Loan premises at the time was a vacant lot, used by the community as a gathering place for hitching horses and other needs; the village band had a stand at the far end and occasional concerts were given. A vineyard occupied the site of what is now the Broadway school. The Hollingworth home was on the outskirts of the town, diagonally across the street from the vineyard. One incident during his term as postman that causes a chuckle now and then is the nick-name given him by Ed Marion, present constable for Anaheim township—that of "Uncle Sam." Marion was farming then. In 1920 Hollingworth left the postal service to devote himself to other pursuits, later entering the service of the city. For the past 10 years he has been employed by the street department. A good many of the oldtimers have taken the trail to the great beyond. Tom Hollingworth, recently passed the 76th milestone of life's journey, is still hale and hearty, enjoys himself as only a good pioneer can. And beside him, through the ups and downs of life, is the charming lass he married 54 years ago at Ruskin, Nebraska. She, too, enjoys recounting the early days of pioneering and has never regretted the choice of coming to Anaheim. — SHRUB SALE — In order to make room for more lathe house space, we are selling a group of 20 kinds of shrubs—(while they last) at the very low price of — SHRUB SALE — In order to make room for more lathe house space, we are selling a group of 20 kinds of shrubs—(while they last) at the very low price of 19¢ Each LEE TRADING CO. 718 South Los Angeles St. Anaheim, Calif.
