Page Two of the ANAHEIM GAZETTE April 9, 1942 In The Days Of Long Ago Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter 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. 25 Years Ago April 12, 1917 WAR ORDERS The order from Washington directing the mobilization of the Naval Reserve force on the Pacific coast at Mare Island Navy yards, San Francisco, took two young men from this vicinity. Albert Brunworth and Hollis Knowlton. They left Saturday to report for duty and perhaps may be sent across the continent to help the Atlantic fleet fish for submarines that are interfering with our rights on the high seas. EMERGENCY MEASURE More than one hundred men assembled at the Board of Trade rooms Tuesday evening to discuss preparedness measures for any emergency that may arise in the present crisis of our country's affairs. Henry Adams was chosen to preside at the meeting and J. H. Whitaker acted as secretary. Forty-five men signed the roster and pledged themselves to abide by the decision of some authoritative body that may have charge of them in their patriotic duty. All young men who desire to learn the manual of arms are asked to assemble at the city hall on Friday evening when competent drill masters will be present for that purpose. All this will be 50 Years Ago April 7, 1892 CHARTER ARRIVES The charter of the Co-operative Beet Sugar factory has arrived from Sacramento, where articles of incorporation have been filed with the Secretary of State. The name of the corporation will be The Anaheim Co-operation Beet Sugar Company of Orange County, and the capital stock is $500,000. The directors are E. P. Fowler, Thomas J. Jones, S. Littlefield, Plez James, A. Rimpau, H., A. Pierce, and F. J. Capitain. Thus the work of organizing moves on apace, and while there is yet a great deal of work to do before the refinery becomes a living reality, we believe it will be erected in time for handling of next year's beet crop. A meeting of directors will be held shortly, at which reports of progress will be made. At present all that need be said is that matters are moving along satisfactorily, and that the outlook is good for the refinery to be up and running next year. COYOTE BOUNTY FUND Orange county has received $2,730 so far from the coyote bounty fund. This is doing quite well enough, but Ben Kraemer informs us that he has yet several coyotes on the string, and that he ENLIST IN NAVY Five of Anaheim's young men who were anxious to serve in Uncle Sam's Navy were taken to Los Angeles by Postmaster Ahlborn Monday and were subjected to a rigid examination. The boys were Foster Chambers, Joe Stroka, Norman Bernard, Ed Cassidy, and Fred Yoern. They were taken before Ward Winchell, who has charge of the recruiting station and turned over to the examining board. Of the five young patriots Foster Chambers was the only one passed, the others all being rejected for defective eyesight or some minor complaint. Robert Gregg recently passed the examination and is now a machinist's mate in the Navy. MARRIED HERE MONDAY John L. Schumacher and Mrs. Bertha Melcher were married Monday at the German Lutheran parsonage. Rev. H. G. Schmelzer performing the ceremony. The newly-married couple went down to San Diego on a honeymoon, and on their return will make their home at the Schumacher residence on West Center street.

SCHOOL ELECTION At the school election Friday, 313 votes were cast in the Anaheim district. J. H. Enearl polling 210 and Chas. A. Boege, 103. Very little interest was taken in the election. TO ADDRESS MEETING S. C. Hartranft has been engaged to address a patriotic meeting at Orange one night this week. The professor is a spell binder, and will stir the hearts of the people present all that need be said is that matters are moving along satisfactorily, and that the outlook is good for the refinery to be up and running next year. COYOTE BOUNTY FUND Orange county has received $2,730 so far from the coyote bounty fund. This is doing quite well enough, but Ben Kraemer informs us that he has yet several coyotes on the string, and that he will pass in their scalps before the county law is repealed.

On account of closing on Sundays, I respectfully inform my patrons and the public generally that my store will be kept open on Saturday evenings until 9 o'clock. Isaac Lyons.

This question will be the lesson-Sermon subject on Sunday all Churches of Christ, Scientist, affirmation of the Apostle James constitutes the Golden text: "The prayer of faith shall be the sick, and the Lord shall see him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven." The Lesson-Sermon includes the story of the healing of the nobleman's son by Jesus as told in the Scriptural Book of John. When the bishop "heard that Jesus was gone out of Judacca into Galilee," he went unto him, and besought that he would come down and salute his son: for he was at the point of death... Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, sayeth, Thy son liveth... So the father knew that it was at the same time, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth; and himself relieved, and his whole house." On this subject Mary Bakerady says, in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health Key to the Scriptures:" When man gives up his belief in faith, he will advance more rapidly towards God, Life, and Love. Relief in sickness and death, as certainly as belief in sin, tends to out the true sense of Life and health." THEL BAPTIST Topics for Sunday morning worship, "Be Thankful For Others."
