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 Dally Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago 25 Years Ago October 3, 1918 All clocks in the United States will be set back one hour at 2a.m. on the Monday of October 27 under the provisions of "the daylight saving" law passed by Congress. In most households the same result will be obtained by moving clocks and watches back the previous evening at bedtime. Many people have been under the impression that the change back to the old schedule was to go into effect today, but the law provides that the change should not be made until the last Sunday in October. The present schedule went into effect March 31, when all clocks were set forward one hour. Discovery day, Saturday, Oct. 12, has been designated Liberty loan day. Being a holiday there will be a general celebration throughout the country. Anaheim is preparing for a big time on that day, with all the school children participating. Fullerton, Placentia, Orange and Santa Ana all have home guard organizations with large memberships. The Placentia guard, nearly forty strong marched in the parade in this city Monday night, and the boys were loudly applauded for their soldierly appearance. The Anaheim band went to Santa Ana Tuesday night to help 50 Years Ago 50 Years Ago October 5, 1893 We have refrained from criticising the affairs of the bank until such time as reports measurably reliable could be obtained from the mass of unconfirmed rumors floating about in reference to the suspension. That depositors may in time be paid in full there is little doubt, but that the management of the bank has been such as to call for an investigation by the Grand Jury is also patent to the unbiased observer. The races at the Santa Ana track begin next Tuesday, and Wednesday is the date of the free for all race, for a purse of $1000, in which Silkwood, Diablo, Our Dick, W. Wood, and Lady H are entered. This will be one of the greatest events of the year. The S. P. will run a special train at reduced rates on Wednesday and Friday (the date of the free for all trot), leaving Los Angeles at 9:25 and 11 a.m. and returning after the races. Men are engaged in surveying the Bixby ranch on the Alamitos. The sheep men are preparing to leave and no doubt exists as to the reliability of the report that Spreckles has purchased a large tract of land there with the purpose of planting it to beets and putting up a sugar factory. Wommer & Halpin have made Citrus Growers Shield Dislike of Federal Agency Principles (Continued from page 1) that there are many things in new order that he dislikes that, while he does not like peasement, he believes in cooperation rather than losing the war that California has made in ministering a prorate program indicated that this same fate probably exists among other farmers in the industry who are operating with the government rather than expressing opposition to the order. The proper cooperation it is that the producers will come to handle the program of production almost in its entirety. Lyons also stressed that the lack of any intrastataction has caused the concession which led to the Federal ban issuing the order. Lack of agreement within the industry, he had caused the California state agreement to be thrown by the courts of the state. It was agreed that the valeranges will not be affected by the order until next summer that the order may be different. There are comparable few acres of navel oranges in range county. J. A. Porter, MOD officials particularly concerned over interference of the national reau in the orange business wondered why the order was applied to all shipping centers stead of only California andona, states that have been standing in the past in regular shipments. In general the group subs Fullerton, Placentia, Orange and Santa Ana all have home guard organizations with large memberships. The Placentia guard, nearly forty strong marched in the parade in this city Monday night, and the boys were loudly applauded for their soldierly appearance. The Anaheim band went to Santa Ana Tuesday night to help in the Liberty loan blowout. The band boys will be worked overtime during the drive. The residence of Joe Wagner, on Alberta street, was burglarized while the family was at the beach from Saturday to Sunday night, and money, silverware and clothing to the value of more than $200 was taken. Mrs. Wagner says the burglars were particular, taking all her best clothes and leaving those of least value. About $20 in money was taken from two purses. While Postmaster Ahlborn was busily engaged selling bonds at the Liberty tank celebration Monday evening he received word that somebody was busily engaged in burglarizing his home. He made record time getting home, but found the visitors had taken alarm and departed before his arrival, and so far as he could determine nothing had been taken from the premises. Neighbors reported that they had seen a light turned on in the house and knowing that the family was absent, sent the alarm to Mr. Ahlborn. Charlie Conliff cast a critical eye over toward the old city hall the other day and remembered that the derelict is a real menace and should be torn down. There is a crack in the west wall, he says, that extends from the top of the wall to the bottom, fully an inch wide and seems to be getting wider. A similar damage extends in a relative position in the east wall while fissures of lesser extent occur in the front wall, while the rear one is wobbly. The building was erected a long time ago and its foundation was not strongly entrenched. Many citizens are afraid to walk along the sidewalk in front of the place. Whenever a good stiff southeast wind blows many people look out of their windows to see if the old tower is still standing. C. E. Utt, well known citrus grower of Trustin is branching out 9:25 and 11 a.m. and returning after the races. Men are engaged in surveying the Bixby ranch on the Alamitos. The sheep men are preparing to leave and no doubt exists as to the reliability of the report that Spreckles has purchased a large tract of land there with the purpose of planting it to beets and putting up a sugar factory. Wommer & Halpin have made a contract with Man Wo to haul 130 carloads of celery from the Chinese gardens two and a half miles south of Westminster to the depot at Santa Ana. This is the celery raised by the Mongolians whose house burned down on their advent into the peat lands, and who were otherwise maltreated by a band of white men who would not raise the celery themselves. Four or five teams will be put on hauling the crop on Monday, and as the distance, which is something like eight miles, will permit only a trip a day, the job will last probably three months. The celery is spoken of as being of a very fine quality, and it is expected to bring a good price in the market. Alex Henry has quit boring on his well, and will probably put in a gas engine to hoist the water. The seven inch pipe was put down 501 feet, when it was found impossible to send it down further, and a six inch pipe was put in and sent down 39 feet, making the well 540 feet deep. At 400 feet a stratum of large rocks was encountered, and these, it is feared, became packed about the pipe, making it impossible to send it down further. The well will be pierced, and will no doubt yield large quantities of good water. One hundred men have been employed in grubbing out and cleaning the ground for the new channel for the river below the Fifth-street bridge in Santa Ana. The walnuts are beginning to drop from the trees, and on all sides the growers are engaged in gathering them. Walnuts are of unusually fine quality this year. Mr. Frank Cobler, an old-time resident of this section was in town yesterday and made a pleasant call at this office. Frank started the first newspaper ever printed at Santa Ana, the Times, which flourished and had its day years J. A. Porter, MOD official particularly concerned over interference of the national reau in the orange business wondered why the order was applied to all shipping center stead of only California and ona, states that have been standing in the past in regular shipments. In general the group subscribed to the feeling that no certain ping center should bear the den of the order, that the peacement attitude toward real bureaus should cease; there may be interference constitutional rights and rights, and that self-presence of the orange industry will moving cause for establishment; the present marketing agree and that self-preservation still be the aim of the insurer. One of the reasons why malal action was taken by group appeared to be the reason that the provision of this marketing order that become inoperative when it is reached would have caused suspensions soon anyway and no regulation of shipments have remained. Regulation deemed very necessary now to shortage of cars, labor, for containers, ice and other materials. Further consideration of matter will be given during months of operation of the under WFA, Chairman Carr intimated, and if changes made, action will be taken cure them if possible.

He is starting out on a small scale having this year between 3000 and 4000 quarts of juice. If his venture proves successful, grape raising in Orange County may "come back" this time producing the simple grape juice instead of the fermented wine of former years when the Orange County vintage was prized the world over. Mr. and Mrs. Jos Carroll, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Dickel and Mrs. Shanley drove to Warner's Hot Springs on Sunday returning on Monday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. George Wents entertained Saturday evening in honor of Ben Yorba, brother of Mrs. Wents who is at home on a furlough. Fred Dyckman who has been suffering from lumbago for some time past and Emil Heying have gone to Murietta hot springs to try the virtues of the water. John Hartung some days ago suffered another attack of heart failure. He and Mrs. Hartung left the first of the week for Long Beach for an indefinite period. Charley McAulay received word last week while on furlough here, that he had passed his examination in the electrical department at Mare Island Navy Yard and is now a seaman, second class. The walnuts are beginning to drop from the trees, and on all sides the growers are engaged in gathering them. Walnuts are of unusually fine quality this year. Mr. Frank Cobler, an old-time resident of this section was in town yesterday and made a pleasant call at this office. Frank started the first newspaper ever printed at Santa Ana, the Times, which flourished and had its day years and years ago, but which has long since crossed over the good river to the other side. For some years past he has been engaged in bunching type for the Los Angeles papers. Harry Jessen was over from Santa Ana last week renewing old acquaintances. He doesn't get over as often as formerly, but he gets right in the swim when he comes. Judge Brousseau was down to attend the meeting of Directors of the irrigation district on Tuesday. Col. W. G. Schreiber, of the Seventh Regiment, N. G. C. is about to issue orders to the commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the regiment to report once a week to be drilled and instructed by him so that a uniform mode of instruction may be introduced. It is understood that the purpose of the drill is to discover the weak points, if any, so that should any changes be necessary they may be made soon. Should it be decided to have the regiment go to the midwinter Fair the best showing possible should be made by the southern California boys. Capt. S. O. Wood and wife were in town during the week and are at present in Los Angeles. E. E. Keech Esq. the well known Santa Ana attorney was in town yesterday on a professional visit. September 30, 1943 Citrus Growers Show Dislike of Federal Regency Principles (Continued from page 1) There are many things in the order that he dislikes, and while he does not like agreement, he believes in cooperation rather than losing the gains. California has made an admissing a prorate program. He indicated that this same feeling probably exists among other leaders in the industry who are cooperating with the government more than expressing definite opposition to the order. Under proper cooperation it is hoped that the producers will continue to handle the program of proration almost in its entirety. Payons also stressed the fact that the lack of any intrastate regulation has caused the conditions which led to the Federal bureau making the order. Lack of agreement within the industry, he said, caused the California intra-agreement to be thrown out of the courts of the state. It was agreed that the valenciaanges will not be affected by the order until next summer and that the order may be different. There are comparatively few acres of navel oranges in Orange county. M. A. Porter, MOD official was particularly concerned over the interference of the national buoy in the orange business. He wondered why the order was not applied to all shipping centers instead of only California and Arizona, states that have been outstanding in the past in regulating shipments.

Porter, MOD official was particularly concerned over the interference of the national buildup in the orange business. He wondered why the order was not applied to all shipping centers instead of only California and Arizona, states that have been outstanding in the past in regulating shipments. In general the group subscribed the feeling that no certain shipping center should bear the burden of the order, that the appointment attitude toward nationwide bureaus should cease, that there may be interference with institutional rights and state's rights, and that self-preservation of the orange industry was the driving cause for establishment of the present marketing agreement and that self-preservation should be the aim of the industry. One of the reasons why no formal action was taken by the group appeared to be the realization that the provision of the prescript marketing order that it shall become inoperative when parity reached would have caused its expenses soon anyway and that regulation of shipments would have remained. Regulation is deemed very necessary now due to shortage of cars, labor, shook containers, ice and other materials. Further consideration of the matter will be given during the months of operation of the order under WFA, Chairman Campbell estimated, and if changes can be made, action will be taken to secure them if possible. MOD Cites Figures on Low Operating Costs For Season Achieving what seems to be a record in economical marketing citrus fruits, Mutual Orange More Twenty Five Years Ago R. H. J. Johnston, who was taken to a sanitarium at Banning is gradually improving according to reports. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Brunworth, Mrs. Henrietta Schlindler and Miss Nona Schlindler spent Sunday at Huntington Beach. More Fifty Years Ago Miss Irene Fleming and Misstta Smith gave a delightful requirements listed.

Ambitious students working toward the goal of recognition at the Service Point banquet given each year honoring the students for outstanding service to their school, can find information as to what an honor student must accomplish in the way of service during the year. Routine attendance and punctuality requirements are given so that no one will be ignorant of the rules concerning excuses and make-up work. To add pleasure to the academic work is a football schedule showing that the first kick-off is Oct. 8 when Anaheim's team meets the Santa Ana eleven in Santa Ana. Familiar songs and yells are reprinted for those who are new and haven't yet learned them. Dance regulations are set forth and the Colonist traditions of campus recognition and uniform dress complete the detailed material presented concisely and clearly for successful teamwork in the 1943-44 school year. Distributors this week revealed that as of the date of Sept. 1, operating costs of the cooperative were only 6.9 cents a packed box, including all costs of selling, advertising, salaries, brokerage, etc. This is the lowest cost thus far achieved by this cooperative and is apparently much lower than was ever accomplished by any citrus marketing organization in the United States. MOD stated that despite the fact that some 17 per cent of California's tree crop of oranges went to processing plants, fresh fruit shipments by the cooperative were only slightly lower up to Sept. 1 than at the corresponding date a year ago.
