Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXIV A Legal Newspaper ANAHEIM We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR In and About "The Orange Capitol of the World" OPA has announced that point values are to be taken off of perishable cheese, including Limberger. That hardly seems necessary because Limberger cheese has already "perished" before it ever goes on the market. A few more years wouldn't make any difference. A report just issued by the front continues to have its appalling loss of life through accidents, a majority of which are avoidable, and nothing much is thought or done about it. We have become reconciled to that, too. The California Safety Council has just issued a report covering the 102,-500 accidental deaths in this war damaged airHere For Lions W Anaheimers will have an opportunity tomorrow, Friday, see some of the airplanes down by the Japs in the South Pacific when the Lions club holds its War Bond sale at the booth West Center street at 1:30 p.m. Through the efforts of Ma Chas. A. Pearson, Lions club W Bond chairman, a quantity of damaged equipment was secured from the U.S. Army Ninth Air Salvage depot and will be on display Friday afternoon when the Lions sponsor the War Bond sale. Included in the assortment of war equipment will be a Hell's dive bomber shot out of the sky by flack from Japanese anti-aircraft guns. How many men, any, lost their lives in this plane is not known here but those we view this salvaged relic will feel a little closer to the war while they realize that some American OPA has announced that point values are to be taken off of perishable cheese, including Limberger. That hardly seems necessary because Limberger cheese has already "perished" before it ever goes on the market. A few more years wouldn't make any difference. A report just issued by the transportation department of the State Railroad Commission gives official confirmation to my claim that Anaheim is "the Orange Capitol of the world." Although nobody in Anaheim seems to want to recognize this enviable position. Since I proposed the slogan, "Orange Capitol of the World," for Anaheim last year I have never heard or seen it used except by the Anaheim Gazette. Maybe Anaheim doesn't believe in tooting its own horn, but nevertheless it is in the center of Orange county's citrus district and the hub of this industry which is about a hundred million dollar deal annually. Maybe you don't know it but Orange county, the smallest county in the orange district, produces as much citrus as Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Imperial, Fresno and Kern counties and the entire Sacramento district all combined. It produces practically twice as much as Riverside and San Bernardino counties combined. In addition to being the greatest production center, Anaheim is also the center of the processing industry which is growing by leaps and bounds. Other industries are coming to Anaheim when the war is over, which is fine, but Anaheim already has the greatest industry on earth, and it comes out of her own soil. I still claim that Anaheim is "the Orange Capitol of the World," and I can't see any reason for trying to keep it a secret any longer. California has a great variety of animal and bird life, notably among which is the California Valley Quail, said to be social in nature. According to a visiting WAAC some California Wolves are like that too. My old friend and commanding officer, Governor Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma, has been selected to keynote the Democratic national convention in Chicago and for to the fact that there will be losses. In the meantime the home front continues to have its appalling loss of life through accidents, a majority of which are avoidable, and nothing much is thought or done about it. We have become reconciled to that, too. The California Safety Council has just issued a report covering the 102,-500 accidental deaths in this country in 1941, the year before the war excitement caused by Pearl Harbor. Of this number 40,000 were killed by automobiles, besides another million and a half were injured. The Safety Council believes that half the number of killed and injured in automobile accidents could have been saved with adequate street and highway lighting. Of the number injured 650,000 were war workers, resulting in the loss of 150,000,-000 man-days to American industry. The time lost from traffic accidents alone would have built 180 destroyers, or 35,000 fighter planes, or 7,000 heavy bombers, and one-half of this loss is attributed to poor street and highway lighting. The death rate per mile traveled is three times as high at night as during the day, the report shows. This is not news nor a new story. It has been going on all the time, of course increasing from year to year, and we take it for granted and do nothing much about it. If you go out and carelessly get yourself killed at home you're just as dead as if you had stopped a bullet on the battle front. It's a lot easier to dodge careless accidents than it is to dodge bullets, but we're not doing a very good job at it. The average width of California is only from 150 to 200 miles, but what she lacks in breadth she makes up in length. Comparatively, California's coastline if slid over to the Atlantic coast would reach from Boston, Mass., to Charleston, South Carolina. There seems to be an epidemic of men bigamists the last few weeks, all of whom appear to be in serious trouble for marrying more than one woman. I guess some of the men are determined not to be outdone by the women who seem to have gone in for plural marriages in a big way since the government started paying to the fact that there will be losses.

The death rate per mile traveled is three times as high at night as during the day; with this news minimized by the press of California. In some Los Angeles county areas the Sunday quakes were stronger than in this section and in a few cases dishes were thrown from cupboard shelves according to reports; but nobody was injured and the amount of damage was negligible. Many residents of Orange county did not even hear or feel the slight tremors. The occurrence of the quakes did; however; cause considerable discussion about relative demerits between cyclones; common to the middle-west; and earthquakes; some of which have been of a serious nature in the coastal area. A big majority of those who have experienced both expressing their preference to facing possible California has a great variety of animal and bird life, notably among which is the California Valley Quail, said to be social in nature. According to a visiting WAAC some California Wolves are like that too. My old friend and commanding officer, Governor Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma, has been selected to keynote the Democratic national convention in Chicago, and for once Oklahoma has a governor who is a credit to the state and the Democratic party. Being a "colonel" on Governor Kerr's staff I might be able to make the convention if I hadn't left the state but I'll be a California voter in the November election which will automatically cancel my rating as an Oklahoma colonel. As national committeeman of the Democratic party and governor of Oklahoma, besides being one of President Roosevelt's closest friends and staunch supporters, the party leaders probably made a wise choice when they selected Bob Kerr to deliver the keynote address at the convention. That President Roosevelt will be the party's nominee for a fourth term is a forgone conclusion, and that he will be elected is nothing short of a certainty. My opinion is that the Republican party does not want the office this time and the only question among their leaders is who they are going to sacrifice when they name their candidate. Fighting a war is dangerous business, especially the type of invasion warfare now being carried on by the American armed forces. The statistical branch of the army knows almost to the man how many casualties will result from every type of offensive action before the start is made. There is no attempt to hide this danger and the public, as well as the invading army, has become reconciled There seems to be an epidemic of men bigamists the last few weeks, all of whom appear to be in serious trouble for marrying more than one woman. I guess some of the men are determined not to be outdone by the women who seem to have gone in for plural marriages in a big way since the government started paying the wives of soldiers a monthly allowance. Many of the gals have married as many soldiers as they could catch off guard, some of them taking as many as seven or nine husbands, which provides a fair income until the government catches up with their records. When a man makes such a social coup d'etat he usually goes to jail, but the girls get their pictures in the papers and immediately become candidates for the movies. It looks like the next big battle of the sexes will be staged by the men, demanding equal social rights and elimination of the double standard. I have finally finished reading Eve Curie's book, "Journey Among Warriors," and I believe it is the greatest contribution to humanity that has been written in this generation. It is a masterpiece in which the author literally grew into the task as she progressed on her 40,000 mile journey covering a period of five months. The first few pages may impress you as if a college girl were starting on a Cook's tour with the idea in mind of writing a diary of her trip. You get the feeling that her trip is a subsidized project and the account is being written without the inspiration necessary to successfully write a book. You feel as if the undertaking should have been done by a man who would overlook small details and get at the bottom of what he was sent out to do. But, when you finish the book you will realize that no man, and perhaps no other woman, could have accomplished what Eve Curie has done, if the diplomats were only as smart as she is and would listen to that "small voice" that she has so cleverly woven into the account of her experiences. If you are inclined to think and are sincere in your hopes for the future of humanity, you should not fail to read this intelligent young woman's report to the diplomats. She has furnished them the information—now what will they do about it?

County Water District Director Strong Advocate of Colorado River Water County Gets Share Of State Post-War Building Funds Chairman Willis H. Warner of the board of county supervisors announced this week that Orange county has been allocated $165,-317 from a state fund recently appropriated by the legislature for post-war public improvement projects. It is understood the money is to be used for acquiring building sites and rights-of-way for public buildings, highways and possibly irrigation and water projects. The county commissioners were not fully advised as to how the money would be given the county while the cities of Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana are pondering the advisability of turning Colorado river water into their mains, to replace the present hard well water supply, those who have made a study of the water problem in the county are strongly advocating the change. According to C. J. Mauerhan, prominent rancher and a director of the Orange County Water District, the water level in this basin is now 100 feet below its former stage, a condition which will become more serious as time goes on. Mr. Mauerhan points out that in nine of the last 11 years the rainfall has been above normal, yet the increasing drain on the supply has gradually lowered the underground level. In his opinion the cities will be making a great mistake if they Associated C of C James Anaheimers in Committees A list of committees approved by the board of directors of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county has just been released by Secretary Wilton Gallienne of Huntington Beach, including several committees from Anaheim who will vote for the next year.

Brown, 27, of 937 North Olinda Street, Anaheim and Mrs W. Lorton, 31, of Costa Mesa last Saturday evening at 7:45 was reported by the Calif State Highway Patrol. Nozes were received by either men involved. County has been allocated $165,-317 from a state fund recently appropriated by the legislature for post-war public improvement projects. It is understood the money is to be used for acquiring building sites and rights-of-way for public buildings, highways and possibly irrigation and water projects. The county commissioners were not fully advised as to how the money would be given the county but it was Warner's opinion that the county would be expected to match the state funds in planning its work programs after the war. It is also presumed the money will be available to cities with work programs planned, as well as to various improvements planned by the county government itself. In the case of Anaheim, this city has already planned a six-year post-war improvement program involving the expenditure of $650,000 and will no doubt be in line for a share of the state appropriation. The total amount appropriated by the state is $10,000,000 which it is understood is to be distributed to the various counties on a population basis. Anaheim Physician Home; 23 Months In Solomons Friends of Dr. Lewellyn E. Wilson, former prominent Anaheim physician and surgeon, now a lieutenant-colonel in the U.S. Navy assigned to the Marine corps, is home after 23 months of active service in the South Pacific war zone. Lt. Col. Wilson came across the Pacific by plane and arrived in San Diego Tuesday evening where he has been joined by Mrs. Wilson who will bring him home to Anaheim this week end. After his arduous tour of duty he will spend a leave of absence here with Mrs. Wilson and their daughter, Peggy, before reporting for a new assignment. Prominent in county medical circles and a member of the Anaheim Kiwanis club, Dr. Wilson has a host of friends in this area. Working at his profession with the Marines he saw service under trying circumstances surround-prominent rancher and a director of the Orange County Water District, the water level in this basin is now 100 feet below its former stage, a condition which will become more serious as time goes on. Mr. Mauerhan points out that in nine of the last 11 years the rainfall has been above normal, yet the increasing drain on the supply has gradually lowered the underground level. In his opinion the cities will be making a great mistake if they turn down the proposal to abandon the wells and connect with the Metropolitan aqueduct with its unlimited supply of soft water from Boulder dam. He further points out that millions of dollars have already been spent to bring the aqueduct water here and he believes the city residents should be eager to change to the soft water supply. During the past 25 years Mr. Mauerhan has been an active worker for water conservation and is perhaps one of the best posted persons in the county on the water situation. The Water District went so far as to send men to Washington in an effort to induce the government to connect its army camps and defense projects with the aqueduct as a matter of conserving the local supply. The fact that the three largest cities in county will not, or have not, connected with the Colorado aqueduct, defeated their mission, the government taking the attitude that if residents of the district were not interested in conserving the supply, why should the government take any unnecessary steps to save it for them. If the larger cities, with their industrial plants, were not drawing on the underground reservoir the water level would rise and the supply would be adequate for irrigation and the future development of agriculture. Since this county depends upon the citrus industry in particular, and agriculture in general for its stability, those who have studied the situation point out that the cities should be more than glad to make use of the unlimited water from the aqueduct, leaving the local natural supply to insure the continuous production of the land. The Anaheim city council has asked local water consumers for a vote on the proposition of switching to Colorado water. A ballot is being enclosed with all water bills and the customers are requested to mark their ballots Orange County Tax Levy For 1943-44: Nightly Down; Far Below State Average Property tax levies in Orange County averaged $33.20 for every assessed valuation in the county for 1943-44, compared with $39.70 for 1942-43. California's taxers' association reported that City, county, school district and special district levies in the county are included in the 1931 levy for the current which, applied to the $202,-5 total assessed value of the county, produces the average levy of $1,000 of valuation. Throughout the state, the average per $1,000 of assessed amounted to $39.70 for each compared with $41.10 for each, the association found. Levy of property taxes for cities, counties, school districts and special districts throughout the state was $313,475,145 for 1943 and assessed value of city in the state against these property taxes were levied amounted to $7,886,224,624. Local government budgets for 1944-45, which control the amount of property tax levy in California communities, are already well under way, the association pointed out. Tax levies for 1944-45 depend on the size and extent of these budgets. "Local government in the United States has long been recognized as the backbone of the American way of life. Common sense home rle by local governing boards has kept government service where the people want it and it has usually held taxes within their ability to pay." "A liberal dose of this same good, old fashioned common sense to the budget problems of local governments in California, can result in a good-sized drop in property tax levies for 1944-45," the association declared. The Anaheim city council has asked local water consumers for a vote on the proposition of switching to Colorado water. A ballot is being enclosed with all water bills and the customers are requested to mark their ballots and return them to the city hall. Those returned to date show more than two to one in favor of changing to the softer, better water, however, a large number of users have not returned their ballots at all. They are now being urged to express themselves on this vital question as it is the desire of the council to act in accordance with the wishes of a majority of the people.
