ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel Theodore B. 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. YOU PAY TAXES Most people not in the heavy income tax brackets have an idea that the other fellow pays the taxes. While everyone is anxious for the national defense effort to be accelerated, regardless of cost, they would still be in favor of economy in non-defense spending if they knew what their share really was going to be. Right along Center street here in Anaheim you hear these tales. The WPA workers says, "We don’t pay taxes. Around $80 a month is about as much as we can get. Let the rich fellows worry about the taxes." But of that WPA worker’s $80 income, $15.44 is drained away by taxes he thinks he doesn’t pay. The $100 a month clerk jauntly says, "Taxes? They’re not my worry!" But of his $100 income, $19.30 in taxes are carved out of it. Hear the $200 a month salaried man with a family, “Let the big fellows pay. Taxes aren’t bothering me.” But of his $200 a month, taxes are taking a huge cut—$38.60 worth, nearly one-fifth his total monthly income! The hidden tax is a stealthy pilferer in every home. It is the politician’s compromise with painful necessity. No legislator rose up and said, “Let’s smack the smaller income breadwinner with a whopping 20 per cent tax on every dollar he spends.” What he did say was, “Let’s put little hidden levies—which mount into billions—on such things as clocks and radios, tires, drug sundries and theatre tickets. Let’s put levies on the manufacturer and processor of foods.” But all these roundabout ways of digging revenue out of John Citizen all come to the same end. It’s John Citizen, relief worker, white collar man or laborer, who pays for these enormous secret levies on the production and distribution of the goods he buys. You don’t pay taxes? Sorry, you’re wrong. Look at the record. Nearly 20 cents out of every dollar spent is the tax collector’s cut! Recreation Spot Be Opened Soon Ike Waltons of Anaheim are looking forward to August 23, with high hopes of enjoying themselves in piscatorial pastime, for that is the day on which the new recreation spot in Orange county will be opened to public patronage. Known as Santiago dam lake, caused through the construction some nine years ago of a dam built by the Carpenter and Serrano water companies, this new water area will be formally opened to fishermen and pleasure seekers. Well stocked with trout, bass, crappie, bluegill and other species of local habitat, fishing has never been permitted previously. Needless to say that all likely looking spots will have a goodly number of Ikes trying their luck in catching a toothsome mess of fish. W. A. Hawkins, resident manager for the Stevenson Lake corporation, holder of the concessions franchise, announces that by the opening date all will be in readiness for public patronage. Twenty or more cabins will be available for use, in addition to about 100 rowboats which will be rented to pleasure seekers. Other adjuncts to recreation have also been installed. Church Services UNION SERVICE The Union Park Service this Sunday will be under the direction of the Free Methodist Church and its pastor, Rev. Bergen Birdsall. Various ministers will participate during the hour service and the sermon, "Has the Church an Answer to 1941?" will be delivered by the pastor of the church in charge. Soloist will be Miss Corrine Linger on the vibra-harp accompanied on the piano by Miss Dorothy Wheeler. A double mixed Sourdough Conclave Recall Days of '98; Four-Day Meeting The day of the big stampede—the days of old, the days of gold, the days of '98—will be relived next week as hundreds of sourdoughs assemble at Los Angeles for their annual reunion, the session lasting for a period of four days commencing on Thursday, August 14, and ending with a big picnic in Fern Dell, Hollwood, on Sunday, August 17. Few of those who toiled over famed Chilcott pass, or history-making White Pass, or other trails to the Klondike gold fields, are among the living. The youth of that era are the old men of today. As in previous years sourdoughs, old and young, vintage of '98 and adopted, will be present to hear recalled the days that made history in the northland, coming from the far north and from the cities and towns of the Pacific coast and elsewhere. An extensive program has been arranged for the entertainment of the oldtimers, some of whom may not be present when the roll-call is made next year. Headquarters have been established at the Biltmore hotel, Los Angeles, and open house will be held there all day on August 14.

Early Harvesting Of Nut Crop Seen; Good Weather Aids In spite of a slow start of growth of walnut trees this season, two to three weeks later than in many other seasons, present indications are that walnut harvest will start in Orange County by the first week of September, according to Farm Advisor, Harold E. Wahlberg, representing the University of California. Walnuts developed full size in June and the kernels are now filling rapidly; according to Wahlberg, who points out that the development of the walnut kernel is particularly rapid in a growing season such as this summer. It seems that variable temperatures, hot and cool, even though the average may be fairly high, do not cause the walnuts to mature as rapidly as moderate weather with a more uniform temperature, he commented. The fact that the walnut harvest will be fully on time, if not a little early, means that growers must complete their late summer irrigation not later than the 15th or 20th of August in order to cultivate the ground and prepare for picking. It takes about ten days or more for the ground to dry after an irrigation prior to cultivation. Prompt and rapid harvesting methods help to preserve the good quality of the nuts at time of maturity. The extra cost, if any, involved in the quicker operations is more than balanced by the extra cost, if any, involved in the quicker operations is more than balanced by the extra returns for the better grades so secured. Forest Service Issues Warning To Deer Hunters Fire Hazards Great In South Hunting Areas; Must Exercise Care August 10th will mark the opening of the deer season in fish and game districts 3½ and 4¼%, in the southern part of the State. Because of the very serious fire hazard in this area, the season has been shortened to a 16 day period, according to George P. Miller, executive secretary, California state division of fish and game. This closing will affect all but that portion of Los Angeles County lying east of Highway No. 99, and south of Highway No. 126, which will be open until September 9. During this open season a heavy patrol of wardens will be maintained, and every precaution will be taken to prevent fires. Sportsmen are urged to cooperate with these officers, and exercise particular care in this regard. Should serious fires result in this area, the U.S. Forest Service will prohibit further hunting, and may consider the closing of other forests.

P. Schwerin, marine recruiting officer for Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico. The current strength of the corps is approximately 42,000 and the new enlistments, necessary to bring the Marine Corps up to the total strength of 60,000, will be gained entirely through voluntary enlistments. Applicants can now choose either the regular four year enlistment period or sign for the "duration." The latter enlistment seems to be of particular interest to men recently registered under the selective service act; although the same opportunity is open to young men between the ages of 18 to 21 years. All marine recruits, accepted for enlistment in this area, are trained at the U. S. Marine Corps Base, San Diego, California. Seale's Ambulance 202 W.

Wahlberg invites all interested parties to be present. People who push the gas throttle too hard, avers James M. Carter, Director of Motor Vehicles, sooner or later wind up pushing daisies.
