Ninety-two years old, and in her very prime, California today is starting with renewed zest and courage upon her 93rd year after yesterday's state-wide birthday celebration. And what a wonderful birthday anniversary, even with the nation plunged into a global war! Wonderful, because not a single state in the nation's bright sisterhood, excels California in the intensity and value of her war work. Yes, yesterday was Admission Day, California's annual observance of the anniversary of September 9, 1850, when Congress passed the bill admitting her to statehood. There have been dramatic chapters written since in the state's history, chapters of bitter political struggles of Civil War days; chapters written in gold trickling from the hands of the 49-ers; chapters of the magnificence of hacienda life in the early days; of the founding of villages that have grown into metropolitan cities; restoration of the priceless chain of Missions; of preservation of those equally priceless monuments of Nature, the redwood forests. But in her 92nd year, California has written the most dramatic chapter of all—the diversion of her factory and man power to needs of a nation at war. It was a strange celebration. But if California had a gigantic birthday cake, Orange county did its share in providing it. Her poultry ranches and her beet fields furnished eggs and sugar, her dairy farms came forward with rich butter and cream. Her orange groves offered their flavor and color, walnut groves added their tribute, and the yuccas of county hillsides were "God's Candles," lighted early in the spring in anticipation of decking this magical birthday cake. A sadly triumphant and poignant birthday, California, but here's wishing you many many happier returns of the day.

ARROWHEAD OUTING Mr. and Mrs. J. Frax with their tiny three daughter, Linda Lee, Tuesday to their home, 8 Claudina street, after an Men of Air Force Volunteer As Harvest Aides Growers of the Anaheim area and Orange county agricultural interests in general, are wondering if they may possibly benefit by the new ruling put into effect by the West Coast Army Air Force Training Center at Santa Ana, of permitting enlisted men to volunteer for crop-picking during their off-duty hours. The ruling made by the Santa Ana headquarters base was a measure designed to cooperate with California farmers in the present labor shortage emergency. It has already gone into effect with fine results in other regions of the state. Almond groves in upper Sacramento Valley found scores of enlisted men volunteering for work in their off-duty hours when they could be spared from the training imposed at the Basic Flying Training school at Chico. They were granted permission for this service by their commanding officer, Colonel John K. Nissley. Peach growers in the central San Joaquin Valley found their crop saved when soldiers from the Basic Flying Training school at Merced picked untold tons of the fruit. Colonel Joseph P. Bailey, commanding officer of the school, granted the soldiers permission for this work. In each case men received the minimum rate of 60 cents an hour for their labors, with added convenience of transportation and box lunches provided by the growers.

Ensign Sundberg was en route to his new post at Treasure Island Destroyer Base. Controversy Aroused by Bill Before Senate Widespread interest is attached to a bill now before the United States Senate, involving the sum of $300,000,000 to be established for federal aid to the nation's schools. Anaheim local and secondary schools, like those of every community in the United States, would benefit by this bill in case of its passage by the Senate, but many arguments have been advanced both for and against the measure. Allocation of federal funds would be made on the basis of the number of children in each state, and that state's share of the national income. Among arguments advanced by proponents of the bill is that while the Federal government allocates funds to maintain the nation's production lines with efficiency, those lines not directly related to the war effort are being neglected. It is further pointed out that the larger salaries paid in mills and munitions factories have drawn many able teachers from the profession, and that teachers' salaries must be increased in order to meet this situation. This would put an added burden on the state. Opponents of the bill offer the argument that education is the carlisle, enjoyed at Idylwilding the month of August, Rosemary, young daughter home, is expected to receive this week from San Diego she has spent the past month her uncle and aunt.

War Experts A Conservation Medical Efficiency War drain on the national men continues to grow Anaheim is no exception rule, and the city has allied a number of its fine surgeons to the need nation, and may be called to surrender yet more ores. It has been pointed out as time goes on, all physician doctors of this country, and many of them, will be called to service. This will have no doubling and redoubling burden of work on those main at home. In view of this situation experts have offered supersite public as to ways it may aid these men in making their duties to the co-worker with maximum efficiency they say, don't ask you to make a house call if able to go to his office. Don't call him at times except in case of emergency, and third, when you him, don't waste his time talk—the day of "visiting one's family physician is... Fire Prevention Week Opens Oct. 4 The week beginning October 4 has been designated as Fire Prevention week by President Roosevelt, who urged the people of the country to give special heed to the importance of taking active measures during that week and throughout the year, to preserve human and material resources from the destructive toll of fire. He further directed the Office of Civilian Defense and other appropriate Federal agencies to initiate programs for emphasizing the importance of attaining these objectives. He said that he desired to enlist the cooperation of state and local governments, of educators and civic groups, and of the press, the radio, and the motion-picture industry, with a view to promoting widespread realization of the dangers of fire and knowledge of the methods of controlling it. Opponents of the bill offer the argument that education is the concern of the states, and not the federal government. They point out that the government already faces a war bill that may reach the staggering sum of 250 billion dollars, and the burden of education should not be added to governmental responsibilities but should fall upon each state's citizens. Opponents explain that technical training for specific war work is admittedly tied into the cost of the war. Federal aid for such instruction is a vastly different matter than allotting federal funds for what is acknowledged to be the sphere of local production lines with efficiency, those lines not directly related to the war effort are being neglected. It is further pointed out that the larger salaries paid in mills and munitions factories have drawn many able teachers from the profession, and that teachers' salaries must be increased in order to meet this situation. This would put an added burden on the state. American medicine has everything in its power to the enormous war deriving medical men, and providing doctors and dentists so needed. As a war measure schools have increased classes by 10 per cent, so streamlined their course a class is graduated every months instead of once a year. But because it is vastly ant that there must be nooration in the standards of local instruction, medical have made it a point to these standards are maintained. They point out that a "scientific" medical education can so far and that there is beyond which the time may not be required. Government au are wisely cooperating with maintenance of high standards.

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 September 13, 1917 After suffering for years from an incurable malady, and bearing his lot with a heroism rarely equalled, Joseph Helmsen passed away at his home on South Claudina street on Tuesday morning. Mr. Helmsen was born in Leavenworth, Kansas in 1861. In his early youth he was afflicted with a hip desease, being an invalid for many years. While a small boy his father died. In 1874 the widow and her 14 year old son set out for California leaving the farm in Kansas which had been devastated by grass hoppers the previous year. From San Francisco they sailed with all their household goods on the Ventura for the South. The vessel was wrecked off the coast of Monterey. They narrowly escaped with their lives, but their goods were all lost. Several days after the wreck they reached Anaheim. Young Helmsen obtained work in the Gazette office where he learned the printer's trade. A few years later by sale of the farm in Kansas Mr. Helmsen received $10,000. This he invested with such good judgment that he amassed a fortune from the rise in values. He opened a book and stationery store on West Center street. Several years ago illness caused him to retire. Mr. Helmsen was one of the founders of the German American bank and was its vice president. He was a city trustee for many years and donated to the city a portion of the site on which the city hall stands. For 19 years he was secretary of the Masonic lodge until illness caused him to retire. 50 Years Ago September 15, 1892 The unerrified Democracy held the boards in county convention assembled at Santa Ana last Saturday. The prohibits were aslo on deck, all in convention array and the county seat was filled with more politicians to the square inch than for some time past in its political history. The Democrats met at Spurgeon's hall at 10:30, with Dan'l Baker, the tall Sycamore of the Wabash, in the chair. He was chosen temporary chairman of the convention and Sam Wilson was secretary. The following committees were appointed after which the convention adjourned to 1 o'clock; On Credentials—C. P. Deyo of Tustin, G. H. Carlyle of Westminster, N. F. Steadman of Anaheim, F. W.

Bowers was the choice for Recorder and Leopold Goepper for Treasurer... W. H. Lehman was War Experts Advise Conservation of Medical Efficiency War drain on the nation's medical men continues to grow rapidly. Anaheim is no exception to this rule, and the city has already lost a number of its fine physicians and surgeons to the needs of the nation, and may be called upon to surrender yet more of them. It has been pointed out that as time goes on, all physically fit younger doctors of the entire country, and many of the older ones, will be called to military service. This will have the effect of doubling and redoubling the burden of work on those who remain at home. In view of this situation, war experts have offered suggestions to the public as to ways in which it may aid these men in performing their duties to the community with maximum efficiency. First, they say, don't ask your doctor to make a house call if you are able to go to his office. Second, don't call him at inconvenient times except in case of an emergency, and third, when you do see him, don't waste his time in idle talk—the day of "visiting" with one's family physician is definite.

The total valuation of all property in Orange county is $10,060,-235,and the rate of taxation for the coming year will be $1.30 on the one hundred dollars,which is ten cents less on the one hundred dollars,which is ten cents less on the one hundred dollars in the city,and five cents less on the one hundred dollars in the county than last year.The county is out of debt,and there is upwards of $60,000 in the treasuryThis is a very good showing.

American medicine is doing everything in its power to meet the enormous war demand for medical men, and provide the doctors and dentists so urgently needed. As a war measure, medical schools have increased their classes by 10 per cent, and have so streamlined their courses that a class is graduated every nine months instead of once a year. But because it is vastly important that there must be no deterioration in the standards of medical instruction, medical groups have made it a point to see that these standards are maintained. They point out that a "speed up" on medical education can only go so far and that there is a limit beyond which the time necessary or that education cannot be reduced. Government authorities are wisely cooperating in this maintenance of high standards. education whose policies are responsibilities rest with the school boards of the various communities.
