Keep on BACKING the ATTACK with WAR BONDS ANAHEIM The Oldest Newspaper VOLUME LXXIV ANAHEIM, OH We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR If you are not already a member of the chamber of commerce, why don't you drop around to their office tomorrow and give Secretary Ross Lee Laird your membership voluntarily. It will be the best investment you ever made in your town and it will mean a lot of encouragement to President Oscar Heying and that group of men who are serving with him as directors and committeemen. Besides paying their membership dues these men give liberally of their time to community service. One of the first things I did when I came to Anaheim earlier off the market. What we should do is to rejoice because we still have so many things to offer and to buy. Above all things the merchants should promote their merchandising program with more vigor, which, of course, would naturally mean more business support for the newspapers, who in turn need such support to keep their morale up so they can maintain an optimistic atmosphere in their news and editorial columns. It's a two-way partnership proposition with the merchants furnishing the ammunition and the newspapers doing their part by Most 'Unusual' San Years, Brings Damage One of the most severe Santa Ana wind storms in recent years visited this area over the last week end bringing considerable damage to property and hampering fire fighters who battled serious outbreaks that raged through canyons and pasture lands. Some damage resulted in Anaheim to ownings, signs and trees. The large metal sign at The Gagette building crashed to the sidewalk during the forenoon Sunday. A fire which broke out in Santa Ana canyon burned over more than 6,000 acres before being brought under control late Tuesday night by a fire fighting crew of 1,300 men. None of the men were hurt during the long battle with the flames, according to State Ranger Joe Scherman, who lauded the men for their heroic work under pressure of the heat and wind that drove the flames through the undergrowth. Fortunately no buildings were destroyed on the ranches, farms and resorts in the area. The extra help furnished by the military their office tomorrow and give Secretary Ross Lee Laird your membership voluntarily. It will be the best investment you ever made in your town and it will mean a lot of encouragement to President Oscar Heying and that group of men who are serving with him as directors and committeemen. Besides paying their membership dues these men give liberally of their time to community service. One of the first things I did when I came to Anaheim was to go in and pay a year's dues to the chamber of commerce. I feel that I owe it to the town to do that, and you, too, will feel better about the whole situation when you have a chamber of commerce membership card in your pocket. After being away for ten years I can notice that considerable soil erosion has taken place here where the land is sloping, and, I don't see that very much is being done about it. After just coming from a country where erosion has taken half of the top soil, which means the best half, I can testify to what it means to lose valuable soil through land erosion. Production yields go down as the soil is washed or blown away, and what is still worse, the civilization of a community also goes down with the soil. For more than a quarter of a century John Steven McGroarty, he of "The Green Verdugo Hills," has warned Southern Californians to check the loss of soil from the watersheds. Destruction of the natural cover of trees and undergrowth in the watershed areas by fire and clearing has already done untold millions of dollars worth of damage, but still the clearing goes on and still there are fires. Hill lands continue to be farmed without the benefit of terracing and strip-cropping, which means an annual loss of much valuable top soil. As the top soil loss increases crop yields will continue to go down and flood damage will increase. If you're not already interested in soil conservation, now is a good time to start thinking about it. It's everybody's business. Coincidence: H. H. Armbrust is a plumber in Anaheim and A. H. Armbruster is a plumber in Pryor, Oklahoma. Probably both limbs off of the same old family tree somewhere along the line. There never was a time when merchants should promote their merchandising program with more vigor, which, of course, would naturally mean more business support for the newspapers, who in turn need such support to keep their morale up so they can maintain an optimistic atmosphere in their news and editorial columns. It's a two-way partnership proposition with the merchants furnishing the ammunition and the newspapers doing their part by keeping up a barrage of optimism which is bound to reflect in the spirit of the people. Big manufacturers and industrial concerns, who have not a single thing to sell on the open market at this time, are advertising as they never advertised before, keeping their own names and trade-marks before the public and helping to build morale among the people. The smaller businesses should do no less. Personal columns, such as this alleged "colm," are appearing now in practically all newspapers, both daily and weekly. Just why we write them probably puzzles the subscribers as much is it does ourselves. In a majority of cases the personal columns carry the names of the writers, or their initials, or some assumed name or cognomen. For instance there is the column "Wind Blown," by the Windjammer; "Observations," by the Observer; "Orange Peals," by the Orange Pealer; "Beach Combings," by the Beach Comber; "Comment," by the Commenter; "Around Town," by the Rounder, and so on. But over at La Habra Art McBride runs a column in his La Habra Star entitled "Jazzers," without any by-line, name or initials to indicate who writes it. Anaheim is fortunate to have a fair representation of the leading civic clubs, such as Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, etc. Even with many of the younger men away in the armed services the older members are carrying on, and incidently keeping themselves young by the pleasant association, and by the activities carried on by the clubs which keeps them busy at unselfish community work. There is much more to the civic club idea and ideals than merely meeting once a week to eat and slap each other on the back. Before the advent of the civic clubs some of you will remember, many committees in business thought their day night by a fire fighting crew of 1,300 men. None of the men were hurt during the long battle with the flames, according to State Ranger Joe Scherman, who lauded the men for their heroic work under pressure of the heat and wind that drove the flames through the undergrowth. Fortunately no buildings were destroyed on the ranches, farms and resorts in the area. The extra help furnished by the military Eagles Return To Nest Of Former Years; Reorganize After a long interval the Anaheim Eagles lodge has recently been reorganized and is occupying lodge room quarters used by the same order a quarter of a century ago. The headquarters, which occupies the two top floors of the building at 135 West Center street, more recently occupied by the National Guard unit. The clubrooms are open daily and includes lodge hall, lounge and kitchen. Complete new furnishings have been purchased by the Eerie and plans are being made to initiate a large class of candidates the latter part of this month. The Long Beach drill team will administer the degree work. The first meeting of the new lodge was held Monday night of this week. Pres. Wendell Danenhauer presided. Greeting Cards For Overseas Soldiers Take 1st Class Rate Postmaster Louis Hoskins today called attention to the postal rules which require Christmas greeting cards sent to soldiers in overseas service to be mailed under first-class postage, and at the same time urged patrons to mail greeting cards at once to insure delivery by Christmas. Quoting from the official Postal Bulletin, the Postmaster said: "The War Department advises that Christmas greeting cards for soldiers overseas must be sent in sealed envelopes and prepaid at the first-class rate. The War Department further urges that such cards be mailed at orce stating..." Coincidence: H. H. Armbrust is a plumber in Anaheim and A. H. Armbruster is a plumber in Pryor, Oklahoma. Probably both limbs off of the same old family tree somewhere along the line. There never was a time when the merchants and the newspapers had a better opportunity to cooperate with each other, and there never was a time when such cooperation was as necessary to the future well being of all business than today. In the first place the newspapers and the business men are charged with the duty of maintaining the morale of the people at a high standard during this troublesome time of war. There is no one thing that will break down the morale of the home folks faster than a whinning disposition on the part of the newspapers and the business men, or merchants. Too many merchants are inclined to complain that they can't get merchandise and this or that item is off the market, and for these reasons they will follow the line of least resistance and for the present discontinue their advertising. Too many newspapers are inclined to agree with this sort of reasoning and allow themselves to get into a "what's the use" attitude. The fact of the business is this is the time for merchants to "splurge" with newspaper advertising, listing the available merchandise they have and offering substitutes for the few items that are not obtainable at this time. After all, it's surprising how little any of us have been inconvenienced because we couldn't buy some certain article as readily as we used to obtain it. It's a sign of weakness if we grow despondent over the fact that some article, or some favorite brand of merchandise is tempor- armed services the older members are carrying on, and incidently keeping themselves young by the pleasant association, and by the activities carried on by the clubs which keeps them busy at unselfish community work. There is much more to the civic club idea and ideals than merely meeting once a week to eat and slap each other on the back. Before the advent of the civic clubs some of you will remember, many competitors in business thought their principal business was to hate each other. So-called business men would cross the street to keep from meeting a competitor face to face and be forced to speak. Envy, suspicion, selfishness and distrust of every kind was prevalent. I have even worked on newspapers where we were forbidden to speak to employees of the opposition paper on the street. Now, practically all of those inharmonious conditions have been eliminated through men's association in the various civic organizations. They have learned to know each other, and as Will Rogers always said, there is something likeable about every man if you know him. The fact is, in thirty years or so, the civic clubs have done more to advance the practice of the Golden Rule than even the Bible itself was able to do in over two thousand years. Man's growth, mentally, which is spiritually, is the result of his association with his fellow man. TOASTMASTERS POSTPONE REGULAR MEETING No meeting of the Toastmasters club was held Tuesday night on account of the annual Y.M.C.A. meeting which was held at the Ebell clubhouse. A majority of the members of the Toastmasters are also prominently identified with the work of the Y.M.C.A. Job printing correctly and promptly done at the Anaheim Gazette. Overseas service to be mailed under first-class postage, and at the same time urged patrons to mail greeting cards at once to insure delivery by Christmas. Quoting from the official Postal Bulletin, the Postmaster said: "The War Department advises that Christmas greeting cards for soldiers overseas must be sent in sealed envelopes and prepaid at the first-class rate. The War Department further urges that such cards be mailed at once stating that cards mailed now will, according to the Army Postal Service, reach even the most remote A. P. O.'s by December 25." STORES CLOSED TODAY; ALSO PUBLIC OFFICES Practically all stores in the city, as well as all public offices and banks, will remain closed throughout the day today in observance of Armistice Day. Many inside workers are at their jobs and the day has been set aside as "scrap gathering day" for the collection of scrap iron for the government. Everybody reads The Gazette. Anaheim Postmaster Address At Farm Co One of the biggest meetings of the Placentia Farm Center is expected to be held next Monday night, November 15, according to President Roy Hale. On that occasion Postmaster Louis H. Hoskins of Anaheim will be the guest speaker, talking on the subject, "North Africa." Little known or thought of in this country until the American army invaded it, North Africa is in the spotlight as an important and interesting area from the standpoint of the war, and also as far as future world agriculture is concerned. Postmaster Hoskins is an authority on the territory of North Africa, which has recently been the colorful battleground for ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1943 'AHEIM GAZETTE' The Oldest Newspaper In Orange County — Now In Its 74th Year ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1943 In the most severe Santa Ana winds in recent years this area over the last week brought considerable property and hamper lighters who battled seriaks that raged through and pasture lands. Some resulted in Anaheim to design signs and trees. The final sign at The Gagette brashed to the sidewalk for noon Sunday. Which broke out in Santa Ana burned over more than 20 acres before being under control late Tuesday by a fire fighting crew when.

Only no buildings were on the ranches, farms in the area. The extra washed by the military units was released late Tuesday evening when the fire was brought under control before it reached the more populaced districts of Carbon canyon and Sleep Hollow. Most of the land burned over was in Orange county but the fire reached into Riverside county a short distance and included over 1,000 acres in San Bernardino county. It was reported. During the same period other fires raged in San Diego county and Ventura county. In the Malibu district in Los Angeles county a fire in the Santa Monica mountains, said to be one of the worst in 25 years, was brought under control on Wednesday. Another fire of major proportions raged through the San Jacinto mountains in Riverside county where hundreds of soldiers from Camp Haan joined the forestry crews in combatting the blaze. This morning, Thursday, all fires appeared to be under control, or entirely extinguished, and the usual calm and pleasant weather again prevailed. City’s Finances In Excellent Shape, By Monthly Report Reports made at Tuesday night's meeting of the city council indicate that the city's financial condition is excellent and the general prosperity of the community is reflected in the figures for receipts from utilities. Collections for water and power during October, covering September sales, amounted to $31,415.45, said to be the record receipts for one month in the history of the municipally owned water and power departments. The general fund account on November 1 showed a balance of $99,926.50, with other balances bringing the total cash on hand in the city treasury to $100,350.40.

Barnes of Stroup & Barnes Furniture Co. Survey Being Made To Note Sentiment On Parking Meters Pressing the parking meter question to the business men and laymen of the city, the city council has asked the chamber of commerce to make a survey of public sentiment before taking an official action on the matter. According to Secretary Ross Laird the chamber of commerce as an organization is making no recommendations, but merely acting as headquarters for collecting expressions of sentiment from residents of the city. Protests against the meters, or requests in their favor, may be filed at the chamber of commerce office. The chamber of commerce board of directors will be guided by the expression of all the people in making their report to the city council. It has been pointed out that while parking meters have worked out satisfactorily in larger cities and boom towns, Anaheim's roomy streets, with much available free parking space within a half block of the principal downtown traffic. Large Crowd Attends Annual M.C.A.

Melbourne A. president of the association officiated as master of cereals during the evening and induced officers and board members of the YMCA organiza- and other special guests. Willard Bassett led the company singing and rendered vocal accompaniment at the piano as Ruth Armstrong of Santa Reserve campers, led by Demaree, presented several depicting life at Camp Os-will while a typical Pioneer meeting was held by the club, led by Ed Wright.

YMCA, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and similar organizations are all working towards the same goal in his opinion and should cooperate wherever possible," he said. Guest speaker of the evening was Dr. Donald Tibbet, pastor of the First Methodist church of Los Angeles. Taking as the subject of his address, "Let Freedom Ring," Dr. Tibbet sounded a warning against the various "isms" that may grow from within during the stress and excitement of the war condition. Just as facism, nazism and imperialism fastened their tenacles upon the people of Italy, Germany and Japan, from within their own countries, so could similar totalitarian and fanatical ideas grow here unless diligence is made the watchword of the level-headed leaders in each community, was the warning sounded by D. Tibbet in his most interesting discourse. Famous Lecturer To Talk On Russia At Rotary’s ‘Ladies’ Day Monday Next Monday's noonday meeting of the Rotary club will be a double feature combining the social event of "Ladies Day" with an entertainment program that will be immensely interesting and educational. The meeting will be held at the Elk's clubhouse, as usual. With the eyes of the world centered on Russia and her heroic struggle to oust the Germans from her soil, the Rotary club is fortunate to have as its guest speaker next Monday, Dr. William G. Campbell of the University of Southern California, who will speak on the subject of "Russia". Dr. Campbell is a noted world traveler and an outstanding lecturer. Each Rotary club member is expected to bring his 'Rotary Ann' as a guest, and it is also expected their favor may be filed at the chamber of commerce office. The chamber of commerce board of directors will be guided by the expression of all the people in making their report to the city council. It has been pointed out that while parking meters have worked out satisfactorily in larger cities and boom towns, Anaheim's roomy streets, with much available free parking space within a half block of the principal downtown traffic arteries, the time may be imme-ature for installing parking meters here. The question is not one of crating revenue for the city, but rather whether or not shoppers and other visitors to the business district would be more inconvenienced with the paid parking meters than they are at present. The chamber of commerce wants to know how you feel about it. POMONA VISITOR Mr. an Mrs. Jake Proctor went to Pomona Sunday to take her mother, Mrs. E. A.
