ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1939 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. Personal Integrity Is Deathless Death is an awesome thing, in its earthly finality. To everyone of us has come the experience of protesting against the deathlessness of inanimate things, when human beings who have been so animate, so active, so prominent in working for the good of an entire community, are removed forever. But there are human qualities that are deathless. Saddened hearts took farewell this week of the earthly remains of a splendid man, the late Terry E. Stephenson, Orange county treasurer. But the things that Terry Stephenson represented, the essential being of the man, will live on forever in those sorrowing hearts. Honor, integrity, love for his fellow man, a charitable understanding of human frailties, an abiding faith in Divinity and in mankind—these are some of the qualities of Terry Stephenson which remain as a priceless heritage for all who knew him. And because his friends are numbered by the hundreds in every walk of life, the heritage becomes even more valuable. It never diminishes; instead, the wider it is spread, the stronger and more potent are its powers. Some have expressed the opinion that the passing of Terry Stephenson among total strangers, was sadly ironical for a man with such legions of friends. But death is a lonely thing. It is the one experience that every human being eventually must face alone. Terry Stephenson did not need his friends when he entered the Valley of the Shadow. He was companioned by his own personal rectitude and by the certainty that on the very edge of the Shadow, was waiting the dearest friend of all, the wife who had preceded him on the narrow path but a few short months before. No, Terry Stephenson did not die among strangers. His was the personality that knew no strangers. Nor is he dead. The real Terry Stephenson, the essence of the man himself, is as alive and vital today as it was through every day of his span of years upon this earth.

They are teaching radio, mechanics, parachute packing to members of the Air Forces; developing pictures and radio and telephone repair work to the Signal Corps; handling munitions, military procedure, Spanish, Portuguese to other students.

They teach complex subjects: hydraulics, sheet-metal fabrication, plane structure. The school has discovered that any woman over 25 who can think on her feet and has ever used her fingers for sewing or typing has the essentials.
