Keep on BACKING the ATTACK with WAR BONDS ANAHEIM The Oldest New VOLUME LXXIV ANAHEIM, OR We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR In and About "The Orange Capitol of the World" Figures compiled by the Automobile Club of Southern California show that 46,000 men, women and children have been killed in traffic accidents since Pearl Harbor Sunday, compared with only 25,389 American service men killed in all the far-flung battle fronts around the world. Before Pearl Harbor we were killing civilians with automobiles at the rate of 36,000 a year. As horrible as the loss of life in the war seems to be, it would appear that it's more dangerous to stay at home than it is to go to war. So far there have been more war workers killed, in traffic accidents alone going to and from their of the human body is completely renewed every seven years, which, if properly understood, should cause people to stay young instead of continually repeating, "I am growing old." The moral to this rambling story is: if you're in business, don't ever get the idea that everybody knows you so well that you don't need to advertise. Every town is full of newcomers. California probably has more "firsts" than any other area in the world. For instance, San Bernardino county is the largest county in the United States. The Los Funeral Services To Be Held Friday For Albert W. Sorg A resident of Anaheim for the past five years, Albert W. Sorg, 72, passed away at his home, 605 North Claudina street early Tuesday morning. He is survived by his widow, Leona; one son, George of Anaheim; a daughter, Mrs. J. E. Gilholy of Maryland, one grandchild and three sisters. The deceased was a life member of the Shrine club in Fargo, North Dakota. Funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel with the Rev. C. H. Archibald of the Wesley Methodist church officiating. Burial will be made in the Anaheim cemetery. Rotarians Hear Thanksgiving Talk At Noon Luncheon Members of the Rotary club heard an inspiring Thanksgiving talk Monday noon when they met at the Elk's club for their regu- bor Sunday, compared with only 25,389 American service men killed in all the far-flung battle fronts around the world. Before Pearl Harbor we were killing civilians with automobiles at the rate of 36,000 a year. As horrible as the loss of life in the war seems to be, it would appear that it's more dangerous to stay at home than it is to go to war. So far there have been more war workers killed, in traffic accidents alone, going to and from their work to make the materials of war, than all the soldiers killed in all the battles combined. There may be some solace in this information for those whose sons have gone to war. During World War No. 1 a flu epidemic came along and in a few weeks took more lives than we lost in battle during the entire war. Maybe the whole thing is part of the scheme of things. Anyway, the most dangerous place in the world is at home, where more accidents happen than all the other accidents combined. About the only advice that can be given is, Be Careful. Coincidence: The Hemet News, published by Homer D. King, and the Huntington Beach News, published by Jim Farquhar, perhaps the two outstanding weekly newspapers in this section of the state, both have the same phone number, 2811. The Hemet paper is in its fiftieth year and the Huntington Beach News is in its fortieth year. Postmaster Louis Hoskins pulled this story the other day: It seems that the city superintendent was visiting one of the grade schools and proposed to the teacher that he would test the pupils of her room as to their ability to observe quickly. Going to the blackboard he requested that some pupil give him a number which he would write on the board. A boy called out "forty-eight," and the superintendent wrote on the board the figures 84. "Now another," he said and a voice called out "sixty-three." The superintendent wrote down 36 and called for another number. A boy from the back row was on his toes and promptly responded: "Seventy-seven! Now, dern ye, let's see you change that one." Sermonette on this and that: The other day a merchant told me he didn't advertise because he had been here for 50 years. California probably has more "firsts" than any other area in the world. For instance, San Bernardino county is the largest county in the United States. The Los Angeles county fair is the biggest county fair in the world. San Francisco bay is the largest landlocked harbor in the world. Mount Lassen is the only active volcano in the United States. California ranks first in the fishing industry and first in the motion picture industry. But the "first" of most local interest and importance is the fact that Orange county has over a million more orange trees than any other county in the world, and that Anaheim is "the Orange Capitol of the world." For some reason California has no state song. During the ten years I was away from here I kept repeating, "California, Here I come," and I finally made it. It seems that it requires an act of the state legislature to adopt an official state song, which probably accounts for not having one. The state is still young and the legislature would not want to act hastily in such matters. Just think, the new state capitol building was only started in 1860. Meyers Resigns As Ration Board Chief; To Name Successor The Anaheim Ration board is again without a chairman it was revealed this week following the resignation of Lee D. Meyers, rancher and oil man. Mr. Meyers handed in his resignation Thursday, November 18 and as yet no decision has been made on who will take his place. Mr. Meyers said that he had served in that capacity for the past five-and-a-half months and that he was too busy to be able to give so much time in the future. Dr. D. J. Hilleary resigned for the same reason prior to Mr. Meyers appointment. The Ration board members will probably make a new appoint- Archibald of the Wesley Methodist church officiating. Burial will be made in the Anaheim cemetery. Rotarians Hear Thanksgiving Talk At Noon Luncheon Members of the Rotary club heard an inspiring Thanksgiving talk Monday noon when they met at the Elk's club for their regular weekly luncheon. "Thoughts on Thanksgiving" was the theme of the talk given by the Rev. Harry Owings, pastor of the First Baptist church in Santa Ana. Rev. Owings urged the members to be thankful for the privileges they still enjoy in spite of the war and said that sometimes they should pause in their daily activities and think of their many blessings. He was introduced by Dr. E. W. Jordt, program chairman. Paul Jungkeit, local Boy Scout leader, presented L. E. Middleton, chairman of the Anaheim Boy Scout Council and Francis Hachtel and Billy Steinborn, members of Scout Troop No. 81 this is sponsored by ythe Rotary club. Francis Hachtel thanked the club members for the interest they have shown in the troop and Mr. Middleton highly complimented the club for the interest it has shown and the financial assistance given. Nineteen Men Go To Induction Post Nineteen boys and men from the Anaheim Selective Service district left Anaheim Tuesday morning for the Los Angeles Induction center following a breakfast at the American Legion hall. The civic committee headed by K. B. Rigby gave them the usual sendoff. Mayor Charles Pearson spoke briefly and S. F. Hilgenfeld opened the program with a prayer. Representatives of the various men's clubs were present. Anaheim Visitor Passes Away Here Coming to Anaheim just a week ago with his wife to spend the winter Albert Retzlaff, 68 passed away Friday, November 19 at the home of his friends, Mr. and Mrs. John Molt of 731 North Palm street. The deceased has been a frequent visitor to Anaheim for wrote on the board the figures 84. "Now another," he said and a voice called out "sixty-three." The superintendent wrote down 36 and called for another number. A boy from the back row was on his toes and promptly responded: "Seventy-seven! Now, dern ye, let's see you change that one." Sermonette on this and that: The other day a merchant told me he didn't advertise because he had been here for 35 years and everybody knows him, therefore he doesn't have to spend any money for advertising. I didn't take up his time then to explain to him how wrong he is, so I'll do it here as there may be others who suffer from the same disillusionment about themselves. This merchant, and a few other people he knows, have been here for 35 years, and a few much longer than that. But, if Anaheim is an "average" community, the entire population has completely changed five times during the 35 years he has been here. That's why every merchant has to, or should, figure that his potential customers are nearly all newcomers. With the exception of the few who stay in one place all their lives, a big majority of the people only stay in the same town from one to seven years. There's something uncanny about the seven-year cycle but it has been in operation ever since the recording of Biblical history. The average community completely changes its population every seven years. The Bible speaks of seven years of plenty; seven years of famine; seven years of pilgrimage; and it is recorded that it took seven years to build King Solomon's temple, during which period no rain fell in the daytime. In some sections the locusts fly each seven years. The salmon fish returns to its spawning place every seven years, if it lives that long. These beautiful orange trees, completely renew their foliage every seven years. Every cell Mr. Mevers handed in his resignation Thursday, November 18 and as yet no decision has been made on who will take his place. Mr. Meyers said that he had served in that capacity for the past five-and-a-half months and that he was too busy to be able to give so much time in the future. Dr. D. J. Hilleary resigned for the same reason prior to Mr. Meyers appointment. The Ration board members will probably make a new appointment within a few days.
