OLD GLORY FLOATS HIGH October boasts one patriotic holiday, Columbus Day, falling on October 12. So next Tuesday, the Stars and Stripes of which Christopher Columbus never dreamed, will flutter from homes and business houses all over a land of which he knew so little. Exactly 450 years have passed since those three gallant small vessels, the Pinto, Nina and Santa Maria, sighted the first bit of land of a new world. 1492 and 1942. The same identical figures only in different arrangement. This must have a strange secret significance of which we are unaware. But we know that our land is firmly founded, that our Stars and Stripes wave bravely over our own homes, and over our lads on far foreign shores. And that they will continue to wave just as bavely and just as protectively, through all the years to come. Just now with the Flag so universally in use in these troubled times of war, the question still arises: How should the American Flag be displayed? Of course, all of us know that the precious folds must never, never be allowed to touch the ground. We know too that the Flag should not be lifted on flagpole or building before sunrise and that it must be lowered promptly at sunset. There are exceptions to this rule. The starry banner floats all night long above the grave of Francis Scott Key in tribute to his deathless song, cur Nation Anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner.” The flag may float at no too above the Senate and House when those bodies are session. And of course on for battle ship during night att it in the right way. But general knowledge of etiquette seems to stop there...

Norah Anaheim was one of 109 in the county which no changes were made from the 1941-42 tax rates, leading to a survey made by Norahia Taxpayers' association. The tax rate was lowered in 78 but 54 cities showed an increased rate. The county as a whole, levied a cent rate, five cents lower than for 1941-42. School and district rates were not included in the survey. Because of the federal governorship urgent need for money, it will be raised by taxation to the consequent heavy increase of tax levies, the state action urged local governments begin their preparations immediately for the further lowering county and city tax rates in 1944. Doing so they will be free-manpower, materials and pay for use by the federal government in the war program," the citation stated.

At general knowledge of Flagette seems to stop there for all of us. For instance, did you know that the Flag must not be in wet weather? That even one most patriotic parades it never be borne horizontally. Must be permitted to float in the breeze? That it must be draped over the hood of automobile? That it may not need for drapery or as a porch of a costume? When the Flag is displayed on a hill (blue field with white stars) and always be at the top and observer's left. Only one is ever permitted to be flown at the peak of a staff above the flag and Stripes. That is the chief flag, for after all, our patrimony is founded upon our benefactors God. But even this exception is only among divine services at a milestone chapel or aboard a real vessel. During religious services in other churches, the chief flag may be flown from a height equal to that supplying Old Glory, but the latter place of honor at the clergy's right. Another item of flag etiquette may not be generally known, but international usage forbids display of the flag of one na-above that of any other na-in times of peace. These are some of the things we need to know. It is a splendid patriotic gesture to want our national emblem fluttering braveust at present when all of us are the reassurance that the Flag stays gives. But if we are go-to be patriotic, let us go about Active in Anaheim business circles, he had formerly operated a grocery business on East Center street. He was a member of White Temple Methodist church, whose pastor, the Rev. Thomas L. Burden, conducted funeral services for him Wednesday afternoon in the Hilgenfeld chapel.

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 October 11, 1917 The directors of the Anaheim Cemetery association have petitioned the supervisors for permission to abandon certain streets and alleys in the cemetery, and turn them back to the association to be sold for burial lots. V. U. Simpson is president of the association and Max Nebelung is secretary, but the petition has been filed in the name of W. J. Elliott. This is the first step toward placing the cemetery under the perpetual care system. To place the cemetery in a satisfactory condition and to furnish a sufficient endowment fund $50,000 will have to be raised. There are only 47 unsold lots in the cemetery, but the abandonment of the streets will give the association 132 more lots and the sale of these would pay the principal part of the endowment fund. F. A. Hartman is now erecting a beautiful bronze gateway at the entrance to the cemetery which will cost probably $5,000. This is a memorial in commemoration of the Pioneers of Anaheim, many of whom are buried in the cemetery. The Junior College students of the Anaheim high school last week elected the following officers for this year's term: President, Walter Hemmerling;; vice president, Margaret Osborne; secretary, Beryl Kennedy; treasurer, Jack Abbott. The class teachers are Miss Gertrude Cain and J. S. Malcolm. 50 Years Ago October 13, 1892 The following is a list of election officers in the Third Supervisory district: Anaheim precinct—Poling place city hall.—E. J. Pellegrin, J. J. Schneider, inspectors; A. L. Lewis, Fred Rimpau, judges; V. Bentz, S. P. Bates, clerks; Joe Reid, Otto Rust, ballot clerks. West Anaheim—Voting place Cheeseman's store—A. R. Eddis, B. J. Perry, inspectors; Erwin Barr, Alex Henry, judges; H. D. Polhemus, John Henry, clerks; Erwin Kellogg, Eugene Johnson, ballot clerks. Fullerton—Voting place Chadbourne's hall.—V. Schumacher, R. H., Gilman, inspectors; Alex Gardiner, A. McDermont, judges; Ben Porter, John Hetebrink, clerks; Wm. McFadden, George Amerige, ballot clerks. Yorba — Voting place Yorba school house—Dave Yorba, Wm. F. Robinson, inspectors; Geo. Stadtegger, L. W. Kirby, judges; Jacob Berlin, Felipe Yorba, clerks; A. C. Stadtegger, Rosenda B. Peralta, ballot clerks. Buena Park — Voting place school house—James A.

It is reported that George Betts has purchased the Wesley Alms twenty-acre tract at Placentia consideration $7,000. George is one of the most experienced or- Medical Units Are Ready For Defense Response of Orange county and its eight sister counties of the Southern California area to the call for volunteer duty with Emergency Medical Service unit of the California Council of Defense has been enthusiastic, as shown by the report made by Dr. Bertram P. Brown, director of the state public health department. The nine counties in the area report a total of 2,164 physicians enrolled for service; 4,466 nurses; a normal listing of 17,029 hospital beds which can be increased in emergency by an additional 6,021 beds; 414 casualty stations, and 1,625 commercial and improvised ambulances. Southland rating compares very favorably with that of 47 northern counties, which while offering a larger area, are more thinly populated. That area has enrolled 1,500 physicians, and an equal number of nurses, but the large government hospitals of the north bring the hospital beds to a total of 20,000. Northern counties also have 500 casualty stations in preparedness, and 1,198 ambulances. In his report, Dr. Brown called attention to the fact that the personnel of both doctors and nurses will vary from time to time because of the demands of the armed forces for their services. Massive iron grill work which formerly adorned the corner of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, has yielded 6,200 pounds of metal for the salvage drive. The interior of this particular corner, occupied by various banks until last April, provided additional 11,240 pounds in the form of steel partitions and old-fashioned tellers' cages. The Junior College students of the Anaheim high school last week elected the following officers for this year's term: President, Walter Hemmerling; vice president, Margaret Osborne; secretary, Beryl Kennedy; treasurer, Jack Abbott. The class teachers are Miss Gertrude Cain and J. S. Malcolm. Both liquor and tobacco advanced in price this week, we are informed. This is because of the heavy tax the government has imposed. Wholesalers in Anaheim have doubled the price of bottled goods in all distilled liquors, and have also increased the price of wines. The dealers say the increased price goes to the government to help pay the war tax. It is up to the people now to either cut out the booze because it costs too much or to drink more because the government needs it. The patriotic citizen who believes in supporting the government is between the devil and the deep sea. He can take his choice. The Salt Lake has brought suit against Henry Burdorf for a right of way across ten acres about two blocks east of Spadra road and about two blocks south of the Santa Fe. The map shows the proposed Salt Lake crossing Spadra from west to east three blocks south of the Santa Fe, and curving southward parallel with the Santa Fe where it turns southward near the south Fullerton city limits. The Ebell society held their regular meeting in the Masonic hall on Saturday afternoon. Because Saturday is such a busy day for most of the members, they decided to change the meeting to the afternoon of the first Monday in each month. Delegates selected to attend the county convention of C.F.W.C. at Orange on October 27, were Mesdames Wm. Jackson, C. F. Grim, J. C. Calloway and T. S. Grimshaw. Alternates Mesdames G. M. Simpson, A.

Whitaker, F. J. Speidel, inspectors; W. G. Potter, John Roller, judges; T. J. House, J. M. Whitaker, clerks; J. R. Murray, W. S. Winters, ballot clerks. It is reported that George Betts has purchased the Wesley Alms twenty-acre tract at Placentia, consideration $7,000. George is one of the most experienced orchardists in this section, and will undoubtedly make a model place of his new purchase. The Democrats will hold their first meeting of the campaign at Kroeger's hall tomorrow evening. Senator Del Valle of Los Angeles will address the meeting, and the Democratic candidates will be on hand to make matters interesting. The Republicans held their first meeting of the campaign in this city at the Opera house last Saturday evening. What the audience lacked in numbers was abundantly made up in the enthusiasm that prevailed. The military band enlivened the occasion with martial music. Coroner Ey was master of ceremonies, Mayor McKelvey of Santa Ana was the first speaker. Hr. Seymore of San Bernardino joint candidate for state senator was next, followed by R. Q. Wickham for the assembly, then Col. Mansur for Treasurer, Col. Brock for County clerk, Capt. Hall for auditor, R. L. Freeman for tax collector, Mr. Wright for District attorney, H. Clay Kellogg for surveyor. It is pleasant to reflect that the County Fair was a conspicuous success financially, as it was artistically. The gate receipts at the race track were as follows: first day $159, second $199, third $333 fourth—the Silkwood race, $1,652 fifth,$209.75. Total $2553.75 as against $1240 in 1891. Children under 12 years of age were admitted free this year and were charged for last year. The pavilion receipts were but little in excess of last year, being something like $600. The sale of privileges on the grounds amounted to $728, about $200 in excess of last year. The grand stand receipts were $280 as against $186 last year. Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb and the Liliputians will be at the opera house this evening. There should be a large house as the entertainment promises to be one of the At its meeting last Friday evening the Mother Colony club elected the following officers for the coming year: Herman Stern, president; D.

Renner, wife and son, Russel, and Miss Blanch Fulweider spent Sunday at Long Beach. Dr. M. M. Henderson has received a commission from the war department as first lieutenant and will be assigned as a dentist. Dr. Henderson some months ago offered his services, and now received word of his appointment. His commission to extend for five years. He expects to be called any day and is ready. Miss Veda Walker, a former high school teacher here was visiting in Anaheim last week. She is teaching in Compton this year. Claude Swope has on display some fine corn which he points to as being among the best ever raised in these parts. He has a five-acre tract in the southwest country from which he harvested forty hundred to the acre. "Paddy" is doing his bit. Mrs. Frank Gibbs is visiting friends at Martinez. Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb and the Liliputians will be at the opera house this evening. There should be a large house as the entertainment promises to be one of the best ever given in this city. The street cars will run to and from the Opera house leaving the Southern Pacific depot at 7:45 o'clock and returning after the performance. The cars will run regularly for all performances during the season. Yesterday we had an old fashioned Santa Ana wind. The streets were enveloped with clouds and eddies and whirlpools of dust, and it wasn't very pleasant to be out. Fortunately for us, this boisterous weather does not come very often. Prof. Frantz's new residence on Broadway is being pushed along vigorously and already makes quite an architectural addition to its neighborhood. When completed it will be one of the nicest residences in town. We are sorry to announce the critical illness of H. L. Paty, who has been ill for some time at his residence west of town. Billy Berdrow is in charge of the grading of Hermine street. Billy is taking great pains with his work and says when he gets through the street will be the finest in the county. William Knott of El Monte has taken charge of forty acres of land on Orangethorpe avenue and will make this his home in the future.
