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. MAIL IT IMMEDIATELY! Have you got your Christmas box all packed for that beloved son, brother, sweetheart or husband that is fighting somewhere on the distant battlefronts of this global conflict? Anaheim wives, mothers and sweethearts may lack much of the Christmas spirit this year. There will be no lavish lighting, none of the splendor of outdoor Christmas trees and brilliant lights which must compensate for the snows and jingling sleighbells of the eastern Christmas. Then, too, it would be difficult to get the holiday spirit even in normal times, if it were injected into the midst of the torrid autumn weather we have been experiencing. Santana winds aren't exactly reminiscent of holly berries, and crackling backlogs in a wide fireplace hung with dangling stockings. But regardless of our grief at the thought of a world plunged into war as the season of "Peace on earth, goodwill to man" draws near, we must all submerge those gloomy thoughts and adjust our minds to the idea of sending Christmas cheer to the "boys." November 1, set as the deadline for overseas mail, is only a mere three day saway. So the packages must be wrapped and sent out at once. "Keep it small; pack it well; slap a big Christmas Parcel seal near the address, and MAIL IT NOW," is the advice issued to civilians by Eleventh Naval District headquarters in San Diego. If you are a little tardy in mailing your package, don't think for a minute that special delivery stamps will help. They don't mean a thing to the authorities. Incidentally, keep your package down to six pounds in weight, and about the size of the average shoe box. Wrap it well, but make it possible to be easily opened by the censor. And remember that no individual may mail more than one package a week to any one recipient. And no matter how gay that Christmas card may be—don't send it. Write a little personal message instead. There never was a soldier or sailor lad yet but would far rather have a letter than a fancy card. Get some V-mail stationery from Postmaster Louis Hoskins and that will solve your message problems. STATUE OF LIBERTY Do you know who had a birthday anniversary this week? But regardless of our grief at the thought of a world plunged into war as the season of "Peace on earth, goodwill to man" draws near, we must all submerge those gloomy thoughts and adjust our minds to the idea of sending Christmas cheer to the "boys." November 1, set as the deadline STATUE OF LIBERTY Do you know who had a birthday anniversary this week? There was no party, no birthday cake with candles. But such things were not needed. Her children are staging a mighty party with fireworks, on all the world's battlefronts. Candles pale into nothingness in comparison with the clear pure light from her upheld torch. For it was the Goddess of Liberty who was celebrating. On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty, gift of the French nation, was unveiled in New York Harbor, where she stands today, looking toward a Europe that seems to have forgotten freedom. But the Statue of Liberty remains calm. She knows that the France that created her, shall live again. That the nation that bade her welcome, represents the strength and determination to restore order to chaos. That the light of liberty from her torch will eventually shine upon a rebuilt world. "Be patient" was her birthday message. "Be patient. This chaos is but a fraction of a second in eternity. This too shall pass away."

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 November 1, 1917 "Anaheim, the Mother Colony of Southern California, settled in 1857 by a company of German descent and with a population composed largely of descendants of these people, subscribed $408,-200 to the second Liberty Loan. This is more than double the allotment. Notify the Kaiser." The above telegram was flashed across the continent to Secretary McAdoo after the banks had finished checking up the subscriptions to the second Liberty Loan Saturday night. At the close of the meeting Anaheim unbottled its patriotism and held a joyfest around the registering clock at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets. The band was there playing inspiring airs and everybody came out to demonstrate his appreciation of the fact that Anaheim stands as a unit in defense of the flag. There are 1444 individual subscriptions in Anaheim and as the population is around 5,000, this may be considered as a bond for every family in the city. Anaheim women have organized for action and will carry out the National Food Administration's plans for an economic conduct of affairs in the home and the conservation of certain products for the relief of our Allies in the war and for shipment to the commissary departments of our armies abroad.

It will be one of the greatest contests ever held in Southern California. The purse is $1500, of which $500 goes to the loser. The two horses are probably the best this side of the Rocky mountains and the race will undoubtedly be witnessed by one of the largest crowds ever assembled at the track. On the programme will be a five-mile southern California championship race in which crack riders of Los Angeles and other cities will participate. The first prize will be a gold medal and the second a silver medal. There will also be a mile dash for the championship of southern California, the first prize being a stop watch and the second prize a silver medal. A mile dash, open only for Orange county wheelmen will offer a silver medal to the winner. The second prize will be a league pin. Charley Albrecht left on Monday for Murietta, San Diego county, where he goes to put up extensive barns and sheds, together with a tank and windmill, for Supervisor Schorn, who is interested in a large tract of land down that way.

A pleasant suite at the Claranna apartments, 143 North Crozez street, Prescott, was awaiting the young couple, and there they received the wedding guests, including Rev. and Mrs. Hyde. The new Mrs. Summers made a little ceremony of cutting the decorated bride's cake which was served with coffee. Lieut. Summers, who was formerly employed with the Alpha Beta market on West Center street, is taking the flight training instructor's course at the Army Air Corps Reserve field at Prescott.

Edward Atherton of the Fullerton Ostrich farm, writes to the Gazette that he expects to have enough feathers on hand to enable him to put one in the cap of every hero returning from the war. He has twenty-five birds on his ranch, but the war is interfering with the sale of ostrich plumes just now. Phil Germann took a day off last week and went fishing to New port Beach. Phil is an excellent angler and returned home with so many fish that he passed out a generous supply to his friends. Money collected by the city for water, light and license during the month of September totalled more than $6,000, which is evidence that Anaheim is growing.
