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 Ploneers. 25 Years Ago January 9, 1919 The Allies destroyed or captured 202 German submarines during the war. In addition to these fourteen German submarines were destroyed by the Germans themselves—ten in the Adriatic and fur off Flanders. Seven others were interned in neutral countries. The surrender of German submarines is not completed. The number already brought into British ports is 122. There are at least fifty-eight still to be surrendered. The Germans are still busily engaged in building submarines, and to this the Allies are making no objection, for they will be at the disposal of the Allies when completed. Several new cases of flu have been reported to City Health Officer Truxaw during the past few days, but most of them are of a mild form, and it is said there are cases in town that have not been reported. There were 21 new cases Saturday, but 11 of these in one family. Mrs. Amy Wisser, daughter of Henry Kroeger, was married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Brunworth, on East Center Street, New Year's eve, the groom being Leslie D. Bradley, of Riveride. Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, pastor of the Lutheran church performed the ceremony.

Jupiter Pluvius Is True Rain Giver In Anaheim Vicinity With her surrounding groves and fields thoroughly soaked by a kindly Jupiter Pluvius, Anaheim surveyed with satisfaction the rain figures for the 1942-43 season as recorded by V. W. Hanford at the city power plant. For this season showed a 16.22 inch rainfall, insuring a prosperous season for the growers. Nor has Jupe ceased his attempts with the advent of 1944. On Monday, Jan. 3, he sent .06 inches with a similar amount recorded for the following day. Yesterday storm added .10 inches to the amount, bringing 1944 rainfall to date to .22 inches, a satisfactory beginning for a new year. The season's first rains fell in September, Hannum pointed out with a total of 7.21 inches recorded for 1943 alone. Rainfall figures for the 1943-44 season date therefore stand at 7.4 inches with the addition of three little rains since Jan. 1.

Supervisors Take Action On Road Acceptance At a special session of Orange county supervisors late last week the members accepted in the name of the county, those roadways and Sunset Beach which have been Mrs. Amy Wisser, daughter of Henry Kroeger, was married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Brunworth, on East Center Street, New Year's eve, the groom being Leslie D. Bradley, of Riveride. Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, pastor of the Lutheran church performed the ceremony. The couple left the following day on a honeymoon trip through the north and on their return will make their home in Riverside. Frank Mauer is on duty again at the Exchange Furniture store after a ten days wrestle with the flu. The flu germ frequently attacks an entire family at once, but the biggest job collectively he found in Anaheim was at the home of Alex Morales, where he attacked Mr. and Mr. Morales and their nine children. The entire eleven members of the family are down with the disease this week. Mr. and Mrs. Lew Winney have received a letter from their son, Lon, dated Paris, Dec. 2. A couple of months ago he was severely wounded and is now convalescent. The Valencia Hotel bar is now a soft drink emporium. Ann non-intoxicating drinks including White Ribbon beer is now on sale where the thirsty man, woman or child can find something to suit his taste. The hungry can also appease his appetite with sandwiches of various kinds. Leopold Nemetz was taken ill last week and was removed to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Julia Payne at Pasadena. John Henry has sold his residence property on Broadway and moved to his ranch on Garden Grove road. Christian Maas, formerly of Nebraska purchased the house. C. C. Reinert and family of Cando, N. D., arrived last week and are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Troutman. Mr. Reinert has rented the H. F. Kealiher residence on the West Side, where the family will reside for the present.

At a meeting of the Society of Christian Endeavor Sunday the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Bert Boyd; vice president, Mrs. S. E. Kiefer; secretary, Elmer Holman; treasurer, L. E. Miller; Missionary treasurer, Miss Alice Beazeley. Victor Montgomery, Esq., of Santa Ana, who is understood to carry a large slice of the County Democracy around in his pocket, was over to see us on Sunday. We say it, not to his discredit, and speak for his sake, more in sorrow than in anger, but it is true nevertheless, that he has more influence with Grover Cleveland and the powers at Washington than any man in the county. He will no doubt name the new Santa Ana postmaster. Mr. Montgomery's trip to Sacramento, during Senator White's canvass, when he undoubtedly proved to be of valuable assistance to the Senator in his fight, is not forgotten by that official, and all that is now necessary for an Orange county applicant for office to possess at Washington, is to have "Endorsed V. M., Santa Ana," stamped in his application. Mr. Theo. Staley was in town from Placentia on Monday and reports absolutely no damage done to the orange crop by the cold snap. Sunday morning at 6 o'clock the thermometer went down to 27, Friday and Monday at the same time it registered 29, and Saturday morning, owing to the wind, the lowest reached was 30 and 31. Mr. Staley cut open quite a number of oranges to see if they were frozen, but found none with ice in them—the sign of frost bite. He has received a letter from Georgia asking for a quantity of walnuts which the writer saw at the World's Fair. There can be no doubt that in oranges and walnuts the Placentia country leads the world. The first day's sales of the San Francisco Auction company, held in that city last Monday, were a notable success, the prices realized being satisfactory in an eminent degree. One thousand boxes of oranges shipped by the Growers' association, realized prices as follows: - At a special session of Orange county supervisors late last week the members accepted in the name of the county, those roadways and Sunset Beach which have been open to public use since the little beach city was subdivided nearly 40 years ago. Although both Sunset Beach streets and ocean front properties have been used by the public since September, 1904, Orange county has never had title to the property nor accepted it for general use. The matter was brought to attention by oil development in the area near Sunset Beach. It was discovered that the board of supervisors in 1904 "approved" a map of the Sunset Beach subdivision vision and ordered it recorded Apparently the street and allee layout also came under the same approval, but there was no official acceptance of the streets, as the present board discovered. Supervisors were informed by County Counsel Joel E. Ogle that formal acceptance is necessary because the county is to establish an claim to the routes without this possibility of an involved legal battle. No such trouble is anticipated since the Sunset Beach Land and Water Co., colony developers, agreed to the easement But Ogle pointed out that an change in ownership or the possible dissolution of the company might bring the matter into question. In the event of oil drilling coming yet closer to the area in question, the county would now be in a position to exercise a certain amount of control over drilling developments.

"To promote the general welfare" is the goal of America at peace—the goal of individuals, communities, business enterprise, the state and the nation.
