WAR TIME ARMISTICE DAY When Armistice Day dawns next Wednesday, it will be a different Armistice Day from anything that most of us have ever known before. But it will not seem so vastly different to those intrepid Americans who were striplings 24 years ago at Chateau Thierry and at St. Mihiel, and for whom November 11 dawned amidst the blazing horrors of battle. But to the rest of us, who dreamed of a world peace, of a world forever freed from the dread of bloody fields of battle, this coming national holiday has a strange and solemn significance. Hitler sneered at our country, saying that we were soft. He mistook a quiet and peace loving nation for a softened decadent one. We do love peace, we Americans. We like to dwell on friendly terms with our neighbors and to greet, and be greeted with the smiles of the folks over on the next block. There is nothing in our racial background to breed hatred and suspicion of others. Both those qualities are foreign to the American nature. We have always been glad that this was so. But the time has come to change. Just as the medical profession discovered that the raging fevers they had tried to eliminate in ailing patients, had a definite place in nature's curative plans, so we Americans are having to learn that the fever of hatred that we have always eradicated ago by some of the atrocities against Poland, against Norway., against the Jews wherever Naziism touched them. But those things still seemed remote, like something that some writer of horror tales had devised for his readers. But when our own American Marines are lured into an ambush by a traitor flying the white flag of truce, and are slaughtered in cold blood; when an American aviator, parachuting from a plane riddled by Japanese bullets, is shot to bits in the air; when reputable clergymen can tell with hushed breath and a physical aversion, tales of a ferocity that is foreign to every humanitarian instinct—it is like pouring kerosene on that little blaze. It is growing daily until the wrath of this country bubbles and boils. Armistice Day — conceived in war and dedicated to peace. Yes, this is a strangely significant one, when instead of re-dedicating it to peace, we dedicate it to hatred. Post-Recital Tea Is Compliment To Young Artists Coming as a pleasant sequel to the very successful Sunday afternoon concert in Melrose Abbey, was the post-recital tea with which Mr. and Mrs. Robert Koontz complimented the recital star, Miss Celebration by Bethel Baptist Church of its 40th anniversary which was introduced last year with a gala banquet in the chapel social rooms, will continue for remainder of the week, climax with Sunday services, when congregation will witness monies attendant upon the building of the mortgage.

He commanded his disciples to 'Follow Me.' and we find declared 'This is a foolish thing.' We admit a belief in God proceed to act as though Divine Creator of the universe doesn't know how to run or dividual lives: When there is big enough to admit the truth of the Bible, and practice then we will end war, or drunkenness and crime."

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 November 8, 1917 Let us remember that every flag that flies opposite the German one is by proxy the American flag, and that the armies fighting in cur defense under these flags cannot be maintained through this winter unless there is food enough for them and for their women and children at home. There can be food enough only if America provides. California must do her part. We must use less meat. Observe meatless day every Tuesday. The foods we must export are beef, pork, mutton, dairy products, sugar and wheat. Observe wheatless day on Wednesday. Use corn, oats, rye, barley for rolls, muffins and breads in place of white bread. Eat wisely, waste nothing. Do your part to save the nation. Tentative plans are under way to extend the Olive bridge and it has been suggested that wooden approaches be constructed on each end to connect up with the concrete structure. The cost would not be very heavy and perhaps would serve the purpose of the traveling public. As it is at present for a considerable distance on the west side, the roadway lies in the bed of the river, the flood waters two years ago cutting around the bridge at that point. The supervisors are looking into the matter and some action no doubt will be taken. Dr. Thomas of Olive says just as soon as the road is fixed up residents of his town are going to gather on top of their school house and shoot fireworks from the steeple. Let the good work proceed. 50 Years Ago November 10, 1892 The result of Tuesday's election in this county as shown by special dispatches received at this office last night is as follows: Theodore Lacy is re-elected sheriff by the following vote: Lacy, 1393; Smythe, 769. Lacy's majority, 624. The full returns of the vote for the other candidates is not at hand but it is reasonably certain that the following are elected: Bennett for the assembly; Brock for clerk; Bill Bowers for recorder; Hall for auditor; Mansur for treasurer; Freeman for collector; Scarborough for district attorney; Frank for surveyor; Bowers for congress and Seymour for state senator have majorities and the county goes about 35 majority for Harrison. The election passed off quietly here, 224 votes being cast. West Anaheim polled 120 and Fullerton, 139. The ladies of the Episcopal church served hot coffee and refreshments in Bentz & Steadman's new butcher shop on Center streetet on election day. They were accorded a very good patronage. Some one brought out an old dodger portraying the beauties and advantages of Carlton the other day. The dodger had been printed at this office during the declining days of the boom. It was quite a curiosity. How well do we remember the day's labor it took to get that dodger out—and how well do we remember, too, that we never got a cent for it after the job was done! That part WHITE TEMPLE METHODIST Sunday services at White Temple Methodist church will begin with the Sunday school hour at 1:30 a.m. "A Religion That Works" will be Rev. Thomas L. Burden's Sermon subject at 10:45 a.m. Young People's Fellowship at 6 p.m. will be followed by the pastor's sermon on "An Unfinished Symphony" at 7 o'clock. Tuesday night at 7:30, the Rev. C. W. Archibald, pastor of Wesley Methodist church, will continue this series of addresses on India. He is familiar with that land through 24 years there in missionary work. Tuesday night's talk, to which the public is invited, will be on Dr. Amdekar, the so-called "Moses of the Unouchables." The old-time Hallowe'en when the elfs visited the earth and turned things topsy-turvey appears to have been passed up in Anaheim. With the exception of a few costumed sprites who visited the carnival grounds the pixies were not much in evidence Wednesday night. Perhaps they are discouraged by the efficient night police force of Anaheim. Mrs. Isabella Hahn, now a resident of Long Beach, was a business visitor in town Saturday, and made a pleasant call at this office. Mrs. Hahn still retains extensive property interests in this city and make frequent visits here to attend to her business affairs. Arthur L. Winney came up from Camp Kearney last Thursday and spent a few days with his parents. He is an enthusiastic Sammy, declaring that he would not trade his uniform for anything that could be offered him. Percy Swope, who is one of Uncle Sam's boys at Mare Island navy yard, came down last week on a visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Leslie Swope. A. A. Mills, who has been in a hospital at Garden Grove, where he underwent a surgical operation, is getting along nicely and will soon be cut again. Mr. and Mrs. Carmine of Fresno have been visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hartranft north of town. They are old Dakota friends of the Hartranfts. On Friday the two families motored down to San Juan Capistrano and visited the old mission. Leo Sheridan and Percy Rust have returned from Imperial, where they spent several days shooting ducks. They went by way of San Diego and drove as far as the Mexican line below Holtville. They found good shoot- Some one brought out an old dodger portraying the beauties and advantages of Carlton the other day. The dodger had been printed at this office during the declining days of the boom. It was quite a curiosity. How well do we remember the day's labor it took to get that dodger out—and how well do we remember, too, that we never got a cent for it after the job was done! That part of it awakened a flood of recollections—but what's the use of talking about it now? The job is charged to Hudson—you know him? — prince of deadbeats. He never paid a cent. And so the dodger was tearfully laid away! An excursion of about one thousand persons, mostly members of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, went on Friday over the Terminal road to Long Beach and San Pedro to celebrate the opening of the line. The branch is twenty-seven miles long and much work on terminal facilities remains to be done at San Pedro, chiefly at Rattlesnake island in the bay, much of which island is a swamp which will have to be solidified. Besides this branch the Terminal now has a branch to Altadena, near Pasadena, sixteen miles, and a narrow gauge branch to Verdugo park, ten miles. It contemplates extending the San Pedro road into this valley. Marshal Gade had seven tramps in the city bastile on Sabbath evening. He gathered them in at the fruit dryer, where they had congregated after blowing in from Los Angeles. Squire Landell gave three of them ten days in the county jail, and the rest were turned loose to make their way out of town. Bill Hill has hauled in his steam threshing outfit, having threshed 103,000 sacks of grain during the season. He is putting in barley on his ranch at Belfast, down on the Alamitos.

On Friday the two families motored down to San Juan Capistrano and visited the old mission. Leo Sheridan and Percy Rust have returned from Imperial, where they spent several days shooting ducks. They went by way of San Diego and drove as far as the Mexican line below Holtville. They found good shooting at the Salton sea, and bagged many birds. Max Horwitz was visiting his old-time Anaheim friends last week. "Geogie" used to be in the Yungbluth store. Numerous cards appear in the windows of Anaheim residences announcing that the housewives have signed the pledge and will obey the instructions of the food administration. J. Welborn Wallep is shipping eight or ten carloads of green tomatoes per week for an association of farmers of this section. Shipments are being made from Fullerton and good prices are being realized on the Eastern market. Orange quotations a few days ago ranged from $4 to $4.50 per box in the Eastern markets. This gives growers $3 net for their fruit in the orchard as it is computed that it costs $1.50 to get a box of oranges to market. Fred Schneider and wife and Ben Stroup and wife attended the Hallowe'en dance at Seal Beach Wednesday night. Miss Miriam Flagg of Santa Ana visited Miss Mable Zeigler last week. At a depth of 500 feet Clark Minor struck a splendid flow of water at his artesian well in West Anaheim. He will improve the place immediately and will go into the nursery business.
