IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter Century ago. These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago November 21, 1918 With armistice declared and peace near at hand, there yet remains one big wartime job that is still incomplete — the collection of war savings pledges made in June. This money, our government has counted when exactly as though it were already paid, and this expectation must be made a fact. In order to accomplish this, the National War Savings Committee for California (South) is planning an intensive campaign Thanksgiving week to bring out every pledge and to put every city as well as the state as a whole "over the top". The Anaheim Sugar factory closed its season last Wednesday after a very successful season. The output was fourteen million pounds, considerably less than last year, owing to the shortage of beets, but the price of sugar is much higher and the stockholders will no doubt reap a good dividend. The factory was also enabled to pay the growers a much higher price for their beets than in previous years. Fourteen million pounds is a considerable quantity of sugar. Counting six hundred bags to a car it would require 235 cars to haul this seasons output to the market. The city last week received an offer of $25 for the fire bell which was placed in the belfrey of the 50 Years Ago November 23, 1893 Friday was the most disagreeable day of the year. A cold wind blew from the north and during the day rain fell in sheets. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon our citizens witnessed the interesting and novel spectacle of snow falling in town. The flakes disappeared as soon as they touched the ground, however, and soon there was none of the beautiful left to tell the story. The thermometer gave no uneasiness to the orange growers, but many of them said they would not care to own a grove in Riverside. It is reported that when Mr. McNally, the Chicago capitalist, who some time ago purchased an extensive tract of land at Northam station begins building his residence, which will be one of the finest in Southern California, he will beautify the place by putting in a deer park, lakes and fine enclosed hunting grounds. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water company met in regular session on Saturday. All members present except Botsford. Director Amerige reported on the Yorba reservoir, saying the terms were $100 per acre and otherwise substantially the same as the terms made to the irrigation district. He had seen Col.

But Mrs. Brown—and Mr. Brown—with their son overseas, are fighting mad. That's why they're buying bonds with every cent they can spare. And look what one of Mrs. Brown's bonds—which paid for a bomb—did to one of Hitler's tanks! The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water company met in regular session on Saturday. All members present except Botsford. Director Amerige reported on the Yorba reservoir, saying the terms were $100 per acre and otherwise substantially the same as the terms made to the irrigation district. He had seen Col. Northam about the La Habra reservoir and recommended its purchase, the price being less and capacity larger. Mr. Benchley, who lately purchased the Northam place at the base of the foothills above Fullerton, asked to have changes made in the ditch across his property. W. M. McFadden and A. H. Cargill went to Riverside last week to attend the meeting of the different organizations of orange growers. Sixty delegates were present, and after an exhaustive discussion of the matter of marketing and handling the coming orange crop, committees were appointed to formulate plans for a basis of the proposed central body and to report at a later meeting. The gentlemen returned on Friday having witnessed the snowstorm at Riverside. They pronounce the present movement of growers to be well organized and that it gives every prospect of being a success. The Santa Ana City Fathers have been seized with a fit of eeconomy, following the lead of the school teacher who asked to have her salary reduced, and have decided to reduce the City Clerk from $70 to $60 per month, City Attorney from $40 to $30 per month, Street Superintendent from $60 to $45 per month, drivers of teams from $45 to $40 per month, and Health officer from $16.55 to $10 per month. They will also try to get along this winter with one less teamster. Capt. C. T. Healey with his corps of assistants has been engaged for some days past in surveying the Brea canyon, which it is understood is soon to be sold to a syndicate which will go into developing the rich oil veins of the canyon. A school teacher at Santa Ana has convulsed the school board by asking them to reduce her salary from $75 to $72 per month. The Board became rattled, bought her a pencil sharpener, accepted the reduction and adjourned. Mr. and Mrs. L. J.

The city trustees in regular session Thursday night decided unanimously to endorse Dr. J. W. Truxaw's advise and enforce the rules already laid down prohibiting the assembling of people as far as possible as an influenza preventive. There are a number of cases in this city, but only a few deaths have been recorded. Dr. Truxaw reported the cases well in hand but sternly objected to people congregating as the epidemic still has a serious aspect. He advised that rules now governing business houses be kept in force for another week at least. Pool halls were allowed to open, because anyone who can play pool or bowl shows no sign of flu and the practice is not dangerous. All card playing however is prohibited. Stores will close at 7 o'clock Saturday night. It would be very unwise to allow churches or lodges to assemble, as the flu germs are still with us. There were over 50 cases up to Friday, and the malady easily spreads. The trustees viewed the situation on the same light and ordered the rules now in force to be strictly complied with. B. J. Dresser sustained a broken shoulder blade and a number of bruises when his auto collided with a street car in Los Angeles last Thursday. The machine was driven by his son Bernard. The young man was uninjured but Mr. Dresser was picked up unconscious and taken to a hospital. He was brought home Friday. Mr. and Mrs. L. J.

Grade School Enrollment Shows Big Increase In Orange County There were 2,909 children enrolled in the first grade of the public schools of Orange county during 1942-43, compared with 2,626 for 1939-40, California Taxpayers' association stated today, making public its preliminary forecast of school enrollments in California for the rest of the current decade. The school year 1939-40 is the low point since 1919-20 for state-wide first grade enrollments. The 1,734 children born in the country during the calendar year 1933, together with migration, made up the first grade enrollments of 1939-40, six and one-half years later, the association stated. Births during 1936, which formed the base for the 1942-43 first grade, numbered 1,963 in the county. Births for 1941, the latest year for which data are available, total 2,271. The small crop of 75,229 Californians born during 1933 resulted in the low 1939-40 first grade enrollment of 109,450, the association found. In 1936, 84,460 children were born in California, the base for the 1942-43 first grade enrollment of about 125,000. Births in 1942 were up to 153,120 and may reach 175,000 this year. First grade enrollments will probably climb throughout this decade, Turkey Prices To Consumers Are Announced By OPA This Week Southland turkey prices to the consumer, based on the advance of a half cent to 3 cents per pound as approved by the WFA last week, will range from 47 to 52 pounds, 51 cents for those weighing 16 to 20 pounds and 53 cents for smaller birds which runs 16 pounds or under. While these prices are as much until by 1949-50 they ber between 236,000, the other grades will "While state-wide will increase, areas whit tion is decreasing ma creases," the associat urging civic leaders, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Winney last week received a letter from their son Arthur Lou written from a hospital in France where he was convalescing from a wound caused by a piece of schrapnel. Lou is with the third hospital corps. H. A. Dickel reports 1.44 inches of rainfall during the storm that began Monday morning, making 3.25 inches for the season. A year ago at this date less than half an inch had fallen. Miss Clara Keech, daughter of the late E. E. Keech of Santa Ana, died in an American hospital near Winchester, England, on October 17. Miss Keech volunteered as a nurse and was serving at the hospital. A careless driver got off the designated highway on Center street Tuesday evening and bumped into the steel flagpole with a crash that was heard blocks away. The pole is still standing uninjured, but the auto limped southward with a crushed radiator, a shattered windshield and other injuries. Slight earthquake shocks were felt here and throughout all California Tuesday. As the canning season is over no more sugar permits will be issued for canning purposes, reports Mrs. C. A. Criss. Turkey Prices To Consumers Are Announced By OPA This Week Southland turkey prices to the consumer, based on the advance of a half cent to 3 cents per pound as approved by the WFA last week, will range from 47 to 52 cents per pound at retail meat markets on prime dressed birds, 55 to 62 cents on prime drawn birds and 58 to 66 cents on frozen eviscerated stock. This was announced today by Ed Cunningham, OPA food section poultry pricing specialist for eight southern California counties. The “B” or choice grade birds will retail at 46 to 51 cents per pound or dressed, 53 to 61 cents on drawn and 57 to 64 cents on frozen eviscerated while the “C” or commercial grade birds will cost the consumer 43 to 48 cents for dressed, 50 to 58 cents for drawn birds and 54 to 61 cents for the frozen eviscerated birds. These are the prices which will prevail at retail meat markets. Those housewives who perfer to buy their birds at live poultry markets will have two officially approved ceilings under which they will buy. Young turkeys (hens or toms) purchased live weight will cost them 44 cents per pound for birds weighing 22 pounds or over, 45 cents for 18 to 22 pound birds and 47 cents for those weighing under 18 pounds. Dressed birds bought from live poultry markets will sell to the consumer at 50 cents per pound of birds weighing over WINTER DRESSES Brighten up!
