Page Two of the ANAHEIM GAZETTE THURSDAY, MAY 28, 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 May 31, 1917 SPECIAL MEETING At a special meeting tonight the city trustees will probably select an architect to draw up plans for a new city hall to be erected on the sight determined upon three years ago—that is the site of the present obsolete structure and the lot cornering on South Claudina and Center streets which was purchased from Napoleon Hart for this purpose. The present city hall is a disgrace to the town and an eyesore to the people who take pride in the architecture of newly-built Anahim. The present city hall was built twenty-five years ago. It was amply large for the needs of the town at that time when the population was one-fourth what it is today, but it is inadequate an inconvenient now. Moreover it is unsafe. The city is now in a position to construct a $50,000 building without resorting to a bond election. There is $20,000 of the general fund lying idle in the banks that can be used and the additional $10,000 can be raised in part by the sale of disused machinery at the power plant, the balance if any more is needed. 50 Years Ago June 2, 1882 TRUSTEES MEETING The Board of Trustees met in adjourned session on Friday morning when the matter of sprinkling the streets was considered further. The Board decided that the sprinkling should be done, with the late style Studebaker sprinkler, with Niagara attachments. Mr. Luedke reported that the West wall of the clock tower on the new city hall was too small for the dial. The tower was ordered built according to specifications. This will give us but one dial, which will be placed on the north side of the building instead of two dials one on the north side and the other on the West side, as has been suggested. JOURNAL IN TOWN The material of the Fullerton Journal has been moved to town and is being set up in the Mitchell building on Center street. Editor Nugent has added to it the material of the old Orange Tribune, and will in future woo the fickle goddess of fortune in this destined to be big railroad center and sugar factory town. We extend him a FROM KITCHEN SINK TO CRANKCASE, FROM RAISED KIDS TO RIVETING, THE transition of women into war work is being accelerated today by the demands of an acute shortage of labor. In several Southland cities, maybe soon in Anaheim, women are donning coveralls and making their appearance as service station attendants. Preliminary to this they attend school for training in "keeping 'em running like the Motor Corps girl" shown at the right. Many seamstress has turned her talents to building bombers as evidenced by the young woman pictured above working on the fuselage of a Vega aircraft. Churches ST.

We've heard people say, "The railroads are pretty lucky. Pretty soon tires will begin to wear out and people will have to travel by train." Well, we aren't very happy about it. In the first place, we don't like the idea of people riding on our trains because they have to. We'd rather have them travel by train because they want to. Second, we've always felt that there's a time and place for the automobile, and a time to take the train. Most of us in the Southern Pacific have automobiles, so we're affected by the tire situation, too. And in the third place, we know that any business we get as a result of the war is only temporary. In the long run our success will depend upon the service we give. At present it is difficult to serve you as well as we would like to because of the absolute necessity of giving priority to war traffic.
