ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1934 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 School Bells That No Longer Ring To those of us of an earlier generation, return of September and opening schools each year brings a nostalgic memory of the old school bell and the sonorous clang that once summoned boys and girls from near and far. Youngsters of today would scarcely recognize the sound of a school bell other than the small one on teacher's desk that is tapped occasionally to bring everyone to attention, or the rapid clangor of the alarm sounded for fire drill. They have missed something that our childhood knew. But somehow there seems no need of a bell's ringing tones to call them back to school. Monday morning, Anaheim streets will be vital and alive with the movement of youth. Little girls with starched pinafores, little boys with shining faces under slicked back hair, their older brothers and sisters on their way to school, all will form a procession that stretches clear across the nation and continues into the future. The very fact that streets, boulevards and country roads will again be crowded with this procession of youth, gives added force to the warning to motorists, to discontinue the possible laxity of summer vacation driving and be that they may be more readily seen in these early twilight hours or in morning fogs. Drive carefully. A child, killed or maimed as the result of your careless driving would be a bitter memory to carry through the years. GARDEN GRAMS The overall food picture is not improving. You will appreciate your victory garden more and more. Now is the time to begin making definite plans for fall plantings. Conservation of present crops is also essential. Seed bed preparation for fall planting should begin with fertilization and irrigation. Composted material, dairy, poultry, or rabbit manures, can't be beat. Spade into the ground deeply two or three weeks after irrigation. Delay seeding to follow a second irrigation two or three weeks after fertilization and the first irrigation and spading. Have the seed bed soil fine. Cover the seed with about half the required soil, press down firmly, then add the rest loose. Irrigate frequently without flooding so as to keep the soil around the seed moist. Gophers can usually be caught Christmas Gift Overseas From Yesterday may have been Wednesday, September 15 homes, signifying that the autumn month is half over to every Anaheim home where sent a youth overseas country’s service, it was ginning of the Christmas season.

As to contents, there under slicked back hair, their older brothers and sisters on their way to school, all will form a procession that stretches clear across the nation and continues into the future. The very fact that streets, boulevards and country roads will again be crowded with this procession of youth, gives added force to the warning to motorists, to discontinue the possible laxity of summer vacation driving and be doubly careful, not only in school zones but on every highway. Parents too might well heed the warning issued by officials the State Department of Motor Vehicles, to provide some article of light clothing for their children to wear into the ground deeply two or three weeks after irrigation. Delay seeding to follow a second irrigation two or three weeks after fertilization and the first irrigation and spading. Have the seed bed soil fine.

Gophers can usually be caught with any one of several makes of traps which can be bought at hardware and seed stores. Properly handled, a few traps will keep small areas free of gophers. There are special gopher poisons available at stores also.

BACK THE ATTACK WITH WAR BOND VINCENT FURNITURE CO. 504 - 506 West Center Street Anaheim Christmas Gifts May Be Mailed To Men Overseas From Now To October 15 Yesterday may have been just Wednesday. September 15 to many homes, signifying that the first autumn month is half over. But so every Anaheim home which has sent a youth overseas in his country’s service, it was the beginning of the Christmas holidays. For the interval from September 15 to October 15 has been designated as the time when Christmas packages may be mailed to men and women in Army and Navy service overseas, to insure certain arrival by the holiday season. After the October date, no such parcels may be mailed unless each parcel is accompanied by a letter from the soldier himself, requesting the article in the package. There are definite rules affecting these parcels. Such a package may not exceed five pounds in weight, nor may it be more than 15 inches in length or 36 inches in length and girth combined. Each must be marked “Christmas parcel” in order to receive the special attention that will insure its arrival before December 25. The parcel must be strongly packed in metal, wood or strong fiber board, then wrapped in heavy paper and tied with stout twine. Contents should be packed tightly, but the outer wrappings should be such that it can be easily opened by the censors. In addition to the return address of the sender, each parcel must show plainly, the name of its recipient, his rank, serial number, branch of service, organization, Army post office number and name of the post office through which the parcel is routed. As to contents, there is a wide choice. But those fighting Marines down in the Pacific area for instance, have disclosed that watches are the gifts they desire above all others. Pen and pencil sets are popular with men in all branches of the service. Toilet kits, hunting knives (especially in the Pacific area), pocket-size books, cigarette lighters, radios, billfolds, sunglasses—these are some of the gifts for which our fighting men have expressed a preference. And one and all, they want photographs of the loved ones at home. Local Friends Get V-Mail From Officer Overseas Giving a new slant to an old cliche, Earle T. Jackson of the Jackson drugstore, today pointed out that when a drugstore fountain receives a V mail letter from an American officer at the front, that IS news. To substantiate his claim, he produced the letter in question, which came from Lt. Col. Raymond E. (“Ray”) Smith, absentee member of the famous breakfast club of the Jackson fountain. Writing from some unidentified point, Lt. Col. Smith addressed his communique collectively to the “Folks—Soaks—Pals and Gals” of the store. What he has been undergoing, may be gathered to a limited extent, by his opening statement: “Well am still here. tho’ still slightly shaken up and still badly scared—and to think a mere earthquake could worry anyone!” The letter continues with “We Farm Bureau Has Annual Election Re-election of the majority of the principal officers of Orange County Farm bureau saw the return of A. J. Schutte of this city to the first vice-presidency under Vernon Heil of Smeltzer, re-elected to the presidency. Others returned to the posts they have filled so capably during the past year were Herbert Warren, Yorba Linda, second vice-president; Cecil J. Marks, Tustin, secretary; H. H. Gardner, Orange treasurer, and S. W. Stanley, Tustin, state delegate. Re-elected as directors-at-large were J. W. Crill, Garden Grove; H. H. Gardner and A. W. Hull, Orange; W. L. Ritter, Irvine; F. C. Latham, Santa Ana; to serve with two newly-elected directors, H. W. Crooks, Placentia, and C. F. Armstrong, Orange. Writing from some unidentified point, Lt. Col. Smith addressed his communique collectively to the "Folks—Soaks—Pals and Gals" of the store. What he has been undergoing, may be gathered to a limited extent, by his opening statement: "Well am still here, tho' still slightly shaken up and still badly scared—and to think a mere earthquake could worry anvone!" The letter continues with "We have had some very wearisome times out here BUT—don't get the idea in your minds that the war is over. It may be in your minds, but come for a walk with us through the mine fields, dodge a bit of flak with us; wear your clothes for a week at a time, and many other things that seem to mean nothing, and then decide if it is time to hold peace meeting to forgive the murderous devils we are facing. "Am so happy these wrecked towns are not American. If our beloved pacifists and slackers could see what we see, perhaps they would dig in and do their duty, as most real Americans in and out of the service, are doing. Best to all the visiting firemen—and give me a drink of ice water! Rav." While the Anaheim man is absent on the foreign battle front, he has a faithful emissary carrying on the work here on the home front, in the person of his wife, Mrs. Florence Smith, whose activities in the war effort are many and varied. Mrs. Smith has done valiant volunteer work in various phases of the city's defense and war activities, and her most recent has been the training course in Aircraft Warning service. In preparing for this, she took intensive training in Pasadena under the Army Air Corps and Army Signal Corps. Then in mid-August she started Teusday and Friday night classes for the benefit of those in the city's aircraft warning service. One of the chief features of class instruction was to familiarize individuals with the various types of planes, both of the Allies and of the enemy forces. Adobe Building At Camp Pendleton Rebuilt As Chapel Down at Camp Pendleton, the Adobe Building At Camp Pendleton Rebuilt As Chapel Down at Camp Pendleton, the gigantic Marine base on what was formerly the famous Santa Margharita rancho, extending from San Diego county well into Orange county, restoration operations are underway on one of the historic adobe buildings, to convert it into a chapel for use of Marines, both men and women, stationed there. Interested civilians have cooperated in making the restoration possible. The adobe, built originally as a winery, has walls three feet in thickness. It is located in the area of the original ranch house buildings, near the site of the first vineyard and the first pear orchard in California. Construction work already underway includes a belfry above one entrance, a choir loft in the interior with a sanctuary at the opposite end of the building. Plans are for chapel furnishings to be assembled from many old religious structures in Mexico and from collectors in this country. The chapel when completed will be non-sectarian with all religious faiths invited to conduct services there. With the work still uncompleted, reservations already have been made by one Marine, for use of the chapel for his wedding in October. LOOSE TALK COSTS LIVES!
