ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 Published in "The Orange Capital Of The World" Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange Co. — S.C.N.P.A. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers Jake Proctor, City Editor The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207 Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years $3.50; 6 Months $1.25 Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia, Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions. When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! A FAMILY PROBLEM As March 15th draws nearer, the average family will realize that next to winning the war, the most pressing public problem is taxation. Published newspaper reports show that the national income for 1943 is estimated at $142,000,000,000, as compared with $70,900,000,000 in 1939. War taxes to absorb abnormal earnings from war production, are justified. But when peace comes, our nation should be prepared to immediately adopt a revised tax schedule, or progress will be stifled. To meet this situation, a constitutional amendment limiting the power of Congress to impose taxes on incomes, inheritances, and gifts to a maximum rate of 25%, has been proposed, except in case of war emergency. If the legislatures of two-thirds of the states adopt a resolution requesting Congress to call a convention for proposing an amendment to the Constitution, Congress must comply. Fifteen states have passed such a resolution. Here is a definite program looking to the formulation of a practical peacetime tax structure. We should not wait until the momentum of industry has been slowed down before providing an incentive to keep it rolling—Industrial News Review.

IT'S ALL VERY SIMPLE If you're getting spots before your eyes trying to figure out how much you owe your Uncle Sam in income tax, it may be comforting to know that even the tax experts are having difficulties. One confused citizen took his problem right to the Office of Internal Revenue. One expert said he owed $60, another put it at $222, and a third said he had a refund coming. He is backing expert number three! 49TH STATE Will Alaska become our 49th state? Many people expect its development and growth to be so marked after the war that it will be granted that status. Actually, the war "made" Alaska. Prior to the Jap attack on Dutch Harbor and their invasion of Attu and Kiska, the American people were only vaguely aware of the land "up north." Then suddenly we became Alaska conscious—conscious of the great strategical value of our northern possession. Army engineers performed a modern miracle in building the Alaska highway. Had there been no emergency it might have been years before it was constructed. Since then we have also become aware of the extensive business and commercial possibilities Alaska offers. And it is these possibilities that are expected to attract thousands of people to Alaska when the war is over. If the threat to Alaska had occurred during the last war, we would have been much less able to cope with it. Even if we had been able to build the Alaska highway then as quickly as we did a year or two ago, trucks in those days could not carry as much as they can now, nor were they as fast and dependable. Nor did we have as many available. In 1917 we had 300,000 trucks. In 1941 we had nearly five million—and this is one of the biggest reasons why our transportation system has functioned so well in this war despite the unprecedented load thrust upon it. Today there are many thousands of America's young men stationed in Alaska. After victory, they are expected to lead the "second gold rush" and to help build a bigger and better Alaska—and make it the 49th state.—California Progress Review. BOY SCOUT WEEK Boy Scout Week which is to be celebrated February 8 to 14, never had a greater significance. This grand organization, designed to train the youth of our land and of other nations in acquiring skill and self-reliance through wholesome outdoor activities and becoming better and more useful citizens, epitomizes the very principles for which the United Nations today are fighting. It is most fitting that the Boy Scout movement had its inception in Engalnd—a nation which stood through the blackest hours of democracy's struggle against the forces of tyranny. There, in 1907, Lieut. General Robert S. S. Baden-Powell, later Lord Baden-Powell, operated the first Boy Scout Troop with 20 scouts and himself as Scoutmaster. It is not surprising that one of the early acts of totalitarian government falling in those two months of a total for the season—ten inches. With six inches of rainfall at the borough of February, old timers wipe one eye on the weather unanimous in programming precipitation for thunderstorms. Boys in uniform wear badge on their sleeves overseas service, are begin drift in. Most of them can thrilling stories of adventurer hairbreath escapes. Autumn drade, son of M. F., reached home Friday evening was a member of the artillery. Arthur M. Clarke California Grizzlies, 144 tillery came in Monday oo to his brother, H. F., southside rancher. Albert Brunworth wrote Marine, writes a long essay esting letter to his father Brunworth. Albert is still ed in Germany, but hopes home soon. Earl Steadman is a France, having arrived day before the Armistice signed. Earl says he is along all right and has no rations. Roy Charleston, who France sends his mother venir German gas mask. T. B. Talbert, chairman Board of Supervisors, Treasurer J. C. Joplin, auditor W. C. Jere signed a statement settling as the rate to be banks that secure de county money. This is that has been fixed each a number of years past; must be fixed by the boo man, the treasurer and tor once a year. Sgt. Ross Phegley, who the aviation corps, has his discharge and arrives Monday. He was station Long Island, N. Y., charged, but has also Angel Island and Kelly. Harry Felling puncture screen and instrumentation at the Fairyland Saturn by singing "Smiles" and Auld Lang Syne" between Harry is a versatile musician can play four instruments and sing a song at the Boy Scout Week which is to be celebrated February 8 to 14, never had a greater significance.

It is not surprising that one of the early acts of totalitarian governments was the suppression of the Boy Scouts. Such governments could not stand for a teaching which opposes discrimination by reason of class, color, race or creed. In its more than thirty years existence in the United States, the Boy Scout organization has been a powerful factor in building better Americans and thereby building a better America. It is this continuing service to democracy which America honors in Boy Scout Week. HITLER'S LAST YEAR There is increasing speculation throughout the world over what the fates have in store for Hitler when his Nazi regime crumbles. Military analysts, correspondents and editorial writers are all seemingly agreed that he will come to a violent end, either by his own hand or at the hands of the German generals he has commanded. Few think he will live to face a war-guilt trial board—and that, undoubtedly, is true. We will make no prophecy as to how the mad man of Berlin will die. There are many ways he might die that have not been generally discussed. A British or an American bomb might finish him off. If revolt sweeps Germany, a mob might hang him from a lamppost, if there are still any lampposts left standing in the Rhineland. But we will venture this prophecy—that this is Hitler's last year; that before the year is done the world will be well rid of him. His armies may win him a reprieve of a few months, but the death sentence has been passed—and there is no power on earth, in all probability, that can give him even a twelve months' stay of execution.—Clem Whitaker. During 1943 the Bureau of Fish Conservation of the State Division of Fish and Game planted 273,000 pounds of trout in the lakes and streams of California. Of these fish over 200,000 pounds were of catchable size. Since 60 percent of the 450,000 licensed anglers in California fish for trout, this provides approximately one pound of planted trout for each angler. Anaheim housewives in need of sugar for early season canning, found that their sugar stamp No. 40 in War Ration Book 4 became good Tuesday for five pounds of sugar to be used in canning. The stamp will remain good for a full year, according to Paul Barksdale d'Orr, Southern California's OPA ration chief, who set the expiration date as Feb. 28, 1945. February 3, 1944 • 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 Ploneers. 25 Years Ago February 6, 1919 During the latter part of last week all southern California was renched with a copious rain that began falling Thursday and continued at intervals until Sunday evening. It came just in time to have, or at least, greatly benefit grain crops, and will also lessen the expense of irrigation. The rain was gentle, the dry soil aborbing nearly all of the precipitation. The storm breaks a long dry spell and one that had begun to mean ruin for grains. It is in time to save a large percent of farley. The rainfall for Anaheim was 1.82 for the storm, making 0.51 for the season to date. At this time last year the fall was only 0.61. February can generally be depended on to produce good grains and records for the past forty years show that the month has never failed to bring good grains. Last year nearly all the season's rain came in February and March, twelve inches of water falling in those two months, out of a total for the season of fourteen inches. With six and a half inches of rainfall at the beginning of February, old timers who keep one eye on the weather, are unanimous in prognastigating simple precipitation for the season. Boys in uniform wearing the badge on their sleeves denoting overseas service, are beginning to drift in. Most of them can relate The Opera house was filled to its utmost capacity Friday evening on the occasion of the masquerade ball given by Evergreen Council of the American Legion of Honor. Lowinsky's Los Angeles orchestra furnished the best music heard here in a long time. The following were the committees: Reception committee, H. Cahen, Dr. Bullard, Wm. Crowther, Mrs. Witte, Mrs. Conrad, Mrs. Scott; Floor committee, Frank Ey, C. A. Norman, Mrs. John Hartung, Miss Zeus. On the Executive and Invitation committees were the following: J. S. Hatfield, Theo Rimpau, F. Crist, N. F. Steadman. Inspector of Masks, V. R. Cayce. Following is a partial list of maskers: Mrs. V. A. Browning, night watch; Miss Anne Everhardy, Swiss peasant; Miss Ida Warling, Miss Josie Wagner, Miss Emma Warling, Miss Olga Zeus, Mrs. Ora Brenot, Miss F. Heimann, Miss Ida Everhardy, Misses Minnie Zeyn, Rose Robison and Kate Champlin, Miss Meta Polhemus, Miss Lauretta Smith, Miss Lilly Robison, Miss Anna Boege, Miss Dora Zeyn, Miss Zoila Smythe, Miss Nellie Tuffree, Miss Mina Bauer, Miss Lenore Spedel, Misses Fanny and Maggie Higgins, Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. N. A. Bittner, Mrs. Cahen, Miss Clara Baker, and Messrs. Adolph Luedke, Herbert Morton, George Whitaker, H. A. Dickel, Ralph Blair, Chas. A. Farmers Have High Priorities For Farm Supplies Farmers have AA 1 priorities for the purchase of various types of supplies from retailers up to $25.00 in value for any one item. The list of items covers a wide range. This priority exists automatically and can be utilized by the signing of a certificate at time of purchase by any bonafide farmer. In announcing this high priority rating, Steven Griset, Chr. of the Orange County USDA War Board, says farmers must differentiate sharply between purchases of less than $25.00 for any one item and their need for large amounts of material. All purchases exceeding $25.00 for any one item requires approval by the Farm Machinery Rationing Committee of the USDA War Board, located at 622 N. Main St., Santa Ana. Certificates signed by bonafide farmers should entitle them to purchase items in the permitted list provided the dealer has the item in stock. This rating, he added, is practically on par with that of the demands of the Army and Navy, and dealers should sell to the farmers willingly if the item is available. Some dealers have hesitated because the farmer's priority only entitles the dealer to a AA 5 priority for inventory replacement. Over 150 different items needed for farm operation are included. They range from electric wiring supplies (limited by quantity) to motor starters, repair parts, and even motors under one horsepower, barbed wire, crates and Boys in uniform wearing the badge on their sleeves denoting overseas service, are beginning to drift in. Most of them can relate thrilling stories of adventure and hairbreath escapes. Authur Andrade, son of M. F. Andrade reached home Friday evening. He was a member of the 145 field artillery. Arthur M. Clark of the California Grizzlies, 144 field artillery came in Monday on a visit to his brother, H. F. Clark, a southside rancher. Albert Brunworth who is a Marine, writes a long and interesting letter to his father, J. H. Brunworth. Albert is still stationed in Germany, but hopes to be at home soon. Earl Steadman is at Brest, France, having arrived there the day before the Armistice was signed. Earl says he is getting along all right and has abundant rations. Roy Charleston, who is also in France sends his mother a souvenir German gas mask. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, County Treasurer J. C. Joplin, and Couney Auditor W. C. Jerome have signed a statement setting 2 per cent as the rate to be charged banks that secure deposits of county money. This is the rate that has been fixed each year for a number of years past. The rate must be fixed by the board chairman, the treasurer and the auditor once a year. Sgt. Ross Phegley, who was in the aviation corps, has received his discharge and arrived at home Monday. He was stationed on Long Island, N. Y., when discharged, but has also trained at Angel Island and Kelly field. Harry Felling punctuated the screen and instrumental program at the Fairyland Saturday night by singing "Smiles" and "Just for Auld Lang Syne" between scenes. Harry is a versatile musician. He can play four instruments at once and sing a song at the same time. Minnie Zeyn, Rose Robison and Kate Champlin, Miss Meta Polhemus, Miss Lauretta Smith, Miss Lilly Robison, Miss Anna Boege, Miss Dora Zeyn, Miss Zolla Smythe, Miss Nellie Tuffree, Miss Mina Bauer, Miss Lenore Spedel, Misses Fanny and Maggie Higgins, Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. N.

John Hartung as a Chinese vegetable man was the best sustained character carried two large baskets filled with vegetables hung from each end of long pole thrown over shoulder. The city trustees met in special session on Monday evening to permit the introduction of the ordinance granting right of way on Santa Ana and Olive streets to the Southern Pacific for their new road through town. The ordinance presented by the railroad company was rejected and the ordinance committee was instructed to draft a new ordinance which will be submitted to the railroad company for approval. It will probably be introduced at the next regular meeting of the board. R. H. Seale filed papers on Saturday in a suit against the Bank of Anaheim which has been in liquidation for about six months, seeking to recover $1,200 deposited in the suspended institution. Immediately after the suspension last August he instituted suit against the bank for his money, asking that a receiver be appointed, but subsequently withdrew the action. Later on he determined to sue after all, but was again dissuaded, and the matter dropped out of sight until last Saturday, when he again filed papers in the suit. He is a little late as upwards of $60,000 have been liquidated since the suspension. The boys of the school brigade NOW Julia Lee Wright's White Breast more of essential food substances!

The boys of the school brigade have been provided with wooden guns and are being instructed in the manual of arms by Capt. Halpin. They will probably turn out with Co. G on the occasion of their first parade—possibly on Washington's birthday. Mr. J. B. Rea has returned to San Diego after a sojourn here of some weeks during which time he has set out at his Katella ranch a tract of forty acres of walnuts and a similar acreage of almonds Almonds have never been successfully grown here but Mr. Rea is satisfied the fault is attributable to the absence of pollenization. This he purposes obviating by setting out different varieties of trees alternately, which he believes will cause the trees to bear heavily. Miss Bernice Hunter, the charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Hunter, has returned from a visit extending over a period of four months with her aunt at Colton. Ed Morgan has a horsehair snake in a bottle at the Commercial Hotel, which he hopes to go on developing into a small-sized sea serpent.
