Jim Farquhar rather spread it on last week when he ran an announcement story in the Huntington Beach News of my returning to Orange county to go with the Anaheim Gazette. With "fingers crossed" modesty and with Ted's suggestion that since the picture didn't break the Huntington Beach News press, Jim's story of my coming to Anaheim is being reproduced in this issue of the Gazette. Among other things, he told when I started in the newspaper business which is bad advertising for everybody except the army. Anybody who figures it out will notice that it was 37 years ago, which at least absolves me from any charge of draft dodging. How "We." Whether he ever knew that I had such a column or not, I do not know, however the files of the Huntington Beach News, where I first used this column title and the heading cut which appears above, will prove that I used it as far back as 12 or 15 years ago. In the meantime I have continued the column under the same heading in my own paper back in Oklahoma. The drawing was made especially to fit the scenery at Huntington Beach which accounts for the oil derricks. However, Anaheim has golden gold in the form of its citrus fruits, instead of the black gold they have at Huntington Beach, so until it appears convenient to have a new and different drawing made I'll just use C. OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE PUBLIC LECTURE The First Church of Christ, Scientist, issues an invitation to the general public to attend a lecture on Christian Science, to be held Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, in the high school auditorium. The lecturer will be Herschell P. Nunn C. S. B. of Portland, Ore., member of the board of lectureship of The Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston Mass. Sacrifice Keynote To Postwar Peace All nations are going to have to sacrifice something in the interests of keeping the peace in the years to come, was the main idea expressed by the Toastmasters and their meeting Tuesday evening at the Parker House. Under the leadership of Royal Marten, the media discussed, "Collaboration — How Far?" suggestion that since the picture didn't break the Huntington Beach News press, Jim's story of my coming to Anaheim is being reproduced in this issue of the Gazette. Among other things, he told when I started in the newspaper business which is bad advertising for everybody except the army. Anybody who figures it out will notice that it was 37 years ago, which at least absolves me from any charge of draft dodging. How old I was 37 years ago is another matter and will not be discussed here. One of the first signs of senility is when a man starts to brag about how old he is and how young he feels. Skinny Skirvin and me are two people who wouldn't lie about our ages but we just don't talk about it any more, and nobody but the army really knows. If you want to know how it feels to be back in California just try going away for ten years, and then come back. About the first question old friends ask is, "How does it feel to be back in California?" As far as I'm concerned it feels like they say it feels to get out of jail, however I haven't had that experience—yet. And, incidentally, I didn't have to locate in Anaheim but I don't know of any other city where I'd rather live, so I came here, thanks to Ted Kuchel and the Anaheim Gazette. The East is coming West and by every indication and point of reckoning the Los Angeles area is destined to become the greatest center of population in the world. I can even visualize that myself, but no less an authority than Ernest East, chief engineer for the Automobile Club of Southern California, and the West's population prognosticator, estimates that California will have a population of 39,000,000 by 1950, only seven years from now. David Olmstead, publicity director for the City of Long Beach, says Mr. East is too conservative in his estimates. This may be chamber of commerce talk but it isn't "idle" talk. The situation is already here and California is ready to meet it. In that connection, perhaps no city in the southland is better equipped to go forward with this development program than Anaheim. Imminently located in the richest spot on earth, this city has the resources, the kind of people, and the space for expansion to cope with the great post-war activity that is as far back as 12 or 15 years ago. In the meantime I have continued the column under the same heading in my own paper back in Oklahoma. The drawing was made especially to fit the scenery at Huntington Beach which accounts for the oil derricks. However, Anaheim has golden gold in the form of its citrus fruits, instead of the black gold they have at Huntington Beach, so until it appears convenient to have a new and different drawing made I'll just use the oil derrick cut and let it go at that, provided I don't get too much of a "Rise" out of Congressman Phillips, whom I hope to know better as time goes on. Mrs Kuchel is in San Francisco this week, visiting her son, Senator Tommy Kuchel who is now serving with the U.S navy and stationed in that city. During her absence I'll take advantage of the occasion to compliment her for the splendid column "In The Days Of Long Ago," which she prepares each week for the Gazette, selecting the items from the old files of the paper. In my opinion this is probably the most interesting feature in the paper and I'm sure it's read with equal interest by old-timers and newcomers alike. Incidently, I learn that the Anaheim Gazette is the oldest established business in the city, and the old files of the paper which have been carefully preserved, are the only authentic historical record of the early activity in this community, as far back as 1870. What Anaheim may lack in some types of hurrah she makes up in the quality and stability of her institutions and her citizenship. I have been agreeably informed by women of other localities that they come to Anaheim to do their shopping in preference to such other cities as Santa Ana, Long Beach, and even Los Angeles. Such tribute to the quality of merchandise and variety of stores found in Anaheim could not be without merit. For many years this city has been the favorite automobile mart of the entire Southland. I can remember as far back as 20 years or more when motorists from everywhere went to Anaheim to buy and barter automobiles. This line of merchandise is all but off the market at present, but a majority of firms are still in business and their splendid show rooms and garage as far back as 12 or 15 years ago. In the meantime I have continued the column under the same heading in my own paper back in Oklahoma. The drawing was made especially to fit the scenery at Huntington Beach which accounts for the oil derricks. However, Anaheim has golden gold in the form of its citrus fruits, instead of the black gold they have at Huntington Beach, so until it appears convenient to have a new and different drawing made I'll just use the oil derrick cut and let it go at that, provided I don't get too much of a "Rise" out of Congressman Phillips, whom I hope to know better as time goes on. Krank Kellogg was toastmaster of the evening, presiding over the speaking program, which covered a variety of subjects. Paul Bloche spoke on "Earth Movements: Charles Greenwood, 'Work Simplification'; Leonard Schwacoff, 'The Case of the Lost Ship'; Le Roy Ater, 'Where is the Doctor?'; and Millard Parks, 'Nationalism.' Bob Morter acted as critic, giving suggestions for improvement to the various speakers. Paul Demaree will act as toastmaster next week and Frank Kellogg will lead the table topic. Dr. C. O. Patterson will serve as critic Speakers will be Richard Clowen Earl Smith, P. H. Pendleton, Le Oden and John Knutzen. With next week's meeting, the club will return to a former custom of awarding a trophy to the man delivering the best speech on the evening. It will be kept by the winner for one week. In this manner the club hopes to bring out better speakers to present at the district-wide speaking contest from time to time.

Former Coastal Man Comes (By way of introducing Taz Gazette's latest addition to the force force the following story herewith reproduced from the issue of The Huntington Beach News.) Rotary Club Hears Dr. John Montanus Dr. John Montanus, pathologist at the Orange County Hospital, pathologist for the county coroner and a member of the Johnston clinic staff, spoke on "Blood Groupings" at the Rotary meeting Monday noon. Dr. Montanus gave a short history of the system of blood classification and transfusion. He pointed out that in the experimental days of blood transfusion only one out of ten transfusions was successful. The speaker also stressed a few facts that govern the heredity of blood groups. He said that although blood tests will not positively determine parentage, they will indicate possible parentage and exclude parentage. Dr. George W. Koch was program chairman for the day and introduced the speaker. Paul Demaree, club president, announced that Milton L. Chapman of Ontario, Rotary District Governor, will be the guest speaker Monday.

Visitors came for many miles around, the crowds sometimes reaching an estimate of 75,000 persons. “When the war is ended and normal pursuits again are resumed the Hallowe’en celebration in all its blazing glory will be one of the events to have the support of the business men and the chamber of commerce,” said Secretary Ross Lee Laird.

For 300,000 Tons Of Scrap Mail Southern California cities are being called upon to distribute 300,000 tons of scrap bank drive underway. 300,000 tons scrap would supply one or many mills with material one month. The mills are ing the scrap at an average 30,000 tons a day! Anaheim must give her share. Kiwanians A way of introducing The Anaheim Gazette to the office is the following story which reproduced from the last issue of The Huntington Beach and Mrs. Jake Proctor have also Anaheim to make their permanent home after spending a year in Huntington Beach following their return from Oklahoma where they have lived for most ten and a half years. While in Huntington Beach, 1928 to 1933, Mr. Proctor was press manager of the Huntington Beach News, leaving this city operate his own newspaper at Oklahoma where he publishes The Daily Democrat. Before going to Huntington Beach he operated a printing business Somona for six years and has made acquaintance in printing newspaper circles in Southern California. He goes to Anaheim to be associated with Ted Kuchel, publisher of the Anaheim Gazette, as city editor and manager of the newspaper. The Gazette also operates an extensive commercial printing and lithographing department. Before locating in Southern California in 1922 Proctor had worked on the larger daily papers in Oklahoma City and Tulsa and had operated his own paper at Broken Arrow, Okla. He had also worked on newspapers in other midwest and Pacific coast cities. He began his newspaper career on the Daily Oklahoman at Oklahoma city in 1906.

While in Pryor, Mr. Proctor was president of the chamber of commerce for 4 consecutive years and went to Washington in behalf of the Mayes County federal soil conservation program. He was a member of the Lions Club and an honorary colonel on the governor's staff. His editorial column "We Rise To Remark," was long a valued feature of the Huntington Beach News, and continued in his Oklahoma daily, was a power in Midwest journalistic circles. As a lifelong newspaper man, there is no branch of the newspaper or job printing business in which he is not versed. He is besides a skilled accountant, and the possessor of a quiet, yet forceful personality which insures lasting friendships. His return to Orange County newspaperdom constitutes a distinct asset to the ability, calibre and ethics of the important business of the fourth estate. Glenn Fry is cast as Mr. Jordan, proprietor of the candy store and soda-fountain and Jean Barnett as Bonnie Mathews and Frank Kellogg as Larry Ross, supply the romance. Others in the east of the hilarious comedy are: Floyd Lucier as Lester; Mary Alden as Mrs. Tattersell will be remembered for her role as mother in "Young April;" Jim Wright, best known for his comedy, as Roscoe; Patty Arnold, who proved she could put over a part in the junior play, as Harriet; Margaret Mackay, lead in last year's play, and Julie Schaffer, as Josephine and Lucy, friends of Harriet; Leland Hansen as the stranger; Larry Braddock as Mr. Templeton, a professor; Beverly Bowen as Miss Granville, a school teacher; Jim Sutherland as Roger, a rival for Bonnie's affections; Elmer Meckel as Oliver, a student from Oklahoma; Gania Demaree as Ruby, a bossy sort of girl who is after Oliver; Les Holvy as the postman; Edith Browne, Charles Davis and Collen Outland as school teachers; Ude Bauer as the officer; and Helen Tyron as Frieda. The all-important behind the scenes will be handled by Lucile Hamilton, student director; Shirley Eaton, prop girl; and Betty Kahlen, script girl. Larry Bradock will act as publicity manager and Mr. Clyde Nickel will handle the tickets. "Red" Hamilton will be stage technician. Miss Natalie Street, successful director of "Through the Night" and "Young April" last year will direct "Gentle Youth."

Allen To Speak At Community Get-To-Gether Plans have been made for an attendance of approximately 250 chamber of commerce members and their wives at the annual meeting and banquet which will be held at the Elk's Club at 6:45 this evening; it was announced this morning by Secretary Ross Lee Laird. Merchants To Hold Breakfast Next Friday Reviving the pre-war practice of downtown get-to-gether breakfasts, the merchants will meet Friday morning, Oct. 29, at 7:30 at The Parker House for the morning meal, according to Wayne Griggs, chairman of the retail merchants division of the chamber of “Advance reservations for the banquet have been very gratifying and because of the prominence of the principal speaker we expect a full attendance.” Secretary Laird said. The address of the evening will be made by Jacob D. Allen, Southern California representative of the United States Chamber of Commerce, whose message will deal with the industrial possibilities of the post-war period. He recently returned from Washington where he attended a meeting of the board of directors of the national organization. Thoroughly familiar with this section of the country and its needs, its adaptability to various kinds of industrial enterprises, and well versed in the post war plan Next Friday Reviving the pre-war practice of downtown get-to-gether breakfasts, the merchants will meet Friday morning, Oct. 29, at 7:30 at The Parker House for the morning meal, according to Wayne Griggs, chairman of the retail merchants division of the chamber of commerce. Formerly the breakfasts were held once each month, but due to war conditions the practice has been suspended of late. Following Friday morning's meeting the monthly breakfasts may be continued if the idea appeals to a majority of those present. This meeting has no connection with the Hallowe'en celebration and there are no plans to hold the old-time Hallowe'en breakfast this year as in former years and which was participated in by the general public. The monthly breakfast meetings formerly held by the retailers was a popular event and if the merchants are agreeable to resuming the old schedule they will again be held regularly, in the opinion of Chairman Griggs. MEETING POSTPONED The Institute of World Affairs, usually held at the Riverside Mission Inn, has been cancelled because of war travel and housing accommodation conditions. The Institute, one of the outstanding forums of the country, was to have met from December 12 to 15. Native Daughters To Meet Here Monday The Santa Ana Parlor No. 235 of the Native Daughters of the Golden West and the Grace Parlor No. 242 of the Native Daughters will hold a joint dinner-meeting in the Anaheim Elks club Monday night, Oct. 25. The occasion is to honor Grand President, Mrs. Mary B. Noerbenberg who will make an official visit to the parlors. Several members of the Mother Colony Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West will be guests. Secretary Laird indicated that several concerns are now considering locating their industrial plants here, some perhaps not until after the war, but the Anaheim location has an appeal for the industrialist. Many local conditions contribute to this situation, perhaps first of all being the ideal living conditions for the personnel and workmen and their families who will be employed in the various plants. Under the leadership of President Oscar W. Heying the board of directors have formulated a stream-lined business program which is being prosecuted by the board and committee members and Secretary Laird who recently joined the organization as full-time executive manager. Tonight's meeting will mark his first appearance at an annual meeting and he will give a short talk preceding the principal address of the evening. President Heying will preside as toastmaster at the banquet. Tonight's affair will be one of the few, and perhaps the largest community get-to-gether meetings of the year so far, due to war conditions. It will provide an opportunity for the older residents to become acquainted with the new arrivals, which will add a social touch to the occasion, although the object of the meeting is of a more Kiwanians Hear Famous Santa Ana Archeologist Anaheim Kiwanians listened attentively to a new and different type of after dinner talk at their luncheon Tuesday when the Rev. Wesley A. Havermale, rector of Episcopal Church of the Mesa of Santa Ana and a noted archeologist, was the principal speaker for the day. Program Chairman Earl Berg, in his introduction of the speaker, accounted that the Rev. Havermale was formerly a lecturer for the University of California, and previously been a member of the faculty of the William F. Bouvet School of Religion at Berkeley. He was also a theological graduate from the latter school and a student of archeology under Mr. Boudet. After spending several years in the Near East and assisting in some of the most important excavation projects of the Holy Land, Rev. Havermale was able to present his subject in a manner that was especially entertaining as well as educational to the members of the local Kiwanis club. To add to the realisticness of the lecture Rev. Havermale displayed a number of pieces of pottery report was accepted by President Ewald Lemcke who presided over the ceremony, ranging from five to eight thousand years old, and of the kind often spoken of in the Bible. For instance he displayed the type of lamps spoken of in the traditional story of the Foolish Virgins, and also the small pots which they failed to take along to carry an extra supply of olive oil. He also displayed a number of garments and shoes worn by the modern men of the Near East country. Kiwanian Fred Robins gave a detailed and enlightening report on the recent convention which he was alleged to have attended, although some of the members refused to be convinced that he was present at the sessions. However, over the meeting. Tentative plans were discussed for a trip by a group of the club members to the Kaiser steel mills at Fontana, the date to be decided later. Capt. Charles Irvin of the U.S. Cavalry, who is at home on furlough, was introduced as a guest by his father, Kiwanian Dr. Chas. Irvin. Ted Kuchel introduced as his guest, Jake Proctor, former member of the Pomona Kiwanis club and newly installed city editor of the Anaheim Gazette. Belmont Accused Of Shipping Frozen Fruits Frank Belmont, owner of the Granada Packing Company, has been accused of violating Agriculture Code No. 795 by shipping frozen fruit, according to a complaint filed by the State of California.
