Kuchel Editors and Publishers Jake Proctór, City Editor The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875.

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! Labor Day – 1944 Little celebration, plenty of work—this will be the theme of America's third wartime Labor Day. Although the workers of this nation cannot slacken in their efforts to turn out the needed materials of war, they can look back on a record of production unparalleled in world history. Because American labor came through in the pinch, American-built planes fill the skies over Europe, the South Pacific, and are making frequent visits to the homeland of Japan itself. Ameri- September 1, 1939 Five years is not a long time, and yet, paradoxically, it can be an eternity. To the peoples of Europe and Britain it has been the latter. On the first day of September, 1939, the news burst over the wires, "Warsaw bombed." On that day the "eternity" of this generation began. On that day the Austrian housepainter hurled his armies into Poland and pushed the world into the abyss of war. Today the ghosts of those armies reel drunkenly back toward the Fatherland from both east and Although the workers of this nation cannot slacken in their efforts to turn out the needed materials of war, they can look back on a record of production unparalleled in world history. Because American labor came through in the pinch, American-built planes fill the skies over Europe, the South Pacific, and are making frequent visits to the homeland of Japan itself. American-built ships plod the seas in greater number than ever before, making up the greatest merchant fleet in the world. America-built tanks are swarming over the fields of France, driving the Nazis back toward the Rhine. American-made bombs and bullets and shells are bringing home to the Axis the folly of challenging America's industrial might. All this has been done in spite of the many hundreds of strikes which have plagued the nation and at times caused serious obstruction to war work. But in fairness to American labor as a whole, it should be pointed out that a great number of these walkouts were never sanctioned by union officials nor approved by the millions of men and women who have stayed on the job faithfully, putting the interests of their country first. Intelligent labor leaders realize that only as the unions prove themselves responsible and keep their demands within reason can labor retain the benefits it has gained and continue its march of progress. And this is what they and the great majority of American workers wish to do. So, on this Labor Day of 1944, we hail the American men and women—54 million strong—who form the "grand army" of the home front. They have proved worthy soldiers in the battle of production.—Calif.

Perfume, Cattle Feed Both From Citrus Fruit Your reporter, to whom an orange has always been an orange, and a lemon a lemon, had a series of surprises last week when he spent a day visiting the Exchange Products plant and saw what becomes of Exchange growers' fruit that doesn't go into fresh fruit distribution. An orange, he learned, was a whole lot of things, from pectin in powder form to orange meal, an excellent cattle feed. A lemon—regardless of size or shape—can be broken down until one tiny component, the oil, is taken out to become an ingredient of milady's finest perfumes. But your reporter's first big surprise on seeing the Exchange Orange Products plant at Ontario and the Exchange Lemon Product plant at Corona, California, was the size of these operations. At each place you walk through building after building and floor after floor of specially constructed machinery — washers, extractors, pasteurizers, heating tanks, storage tanks, filter presses. After more than an hour of this at each establishment, you don't wonder that The Exchange Orange Products Company handled 105,500 tons of oranges last year, and the Exchange Lemon Products Company 182,079 tons of lemons. It would take a book to describe the elaborate scientific steps developed through years of meticulous research by which these plants turn this fruit into high quality products. Here are simply a few notes: The big thing at the Orange Products plant this last year has been the making of canned juice and orange concentrate for the armed forces and Lend-Lease. In twelve months the plant supplied the government with 807,000 gallons of concentrated orange juice, used largely by English and Russian mothers and children. A Sunkist employee now in service wrote from Africa: he had dive into a foxhole, lit on something hard, found it was an empty Ex change orange juice can. The Lemon Products plant has been busy making lemon juice concentrate, which is shipped East and made into the lemon powder used in Army emergency rations. A ton of oranges yields 3 to pounds of orange oil. Lemon oil likewise scarce and precious. But just as important at both plants... Vanishing Jobs By GEORGE S. BENSON President of Harding College Searcy, Arkansas ONE DAY in the outskirts of Chicago I witnessed a traffic accident. A delivery car struck one of several children playing in the street and injured him painfully. Playmates scattered in excitement, seeking the boy's parents, a doctor, a policeman. Each child tried to do what he thought needed most to be done. The father, a hairy specimen, was first to arrive. No sooner had his dark eyes taken in the situation than he began to scold the injured boy. He didn't actually cush his son but he said some really harsh things for the patient to bear along with his injury. (It turned out to be a broken arm). The unhappy deliveryman took some oral abuse also. The father contributed nothing else. He vented his anger freely with profanity in thick dialect. Genuine MAYBE some learned Mystery expert on human behavior could have explained that father's actions. A suffering child wept; unknown injuries waited treatment while duly constituted authority did a loud job of attaching blame without investigation. Understanding this might help explain why people, openly committed to the interests of labor, work so effectively making jobs scarce. Destroying jobs does not help labor. Workers are never so well off as when there are plenty of jobs. An employee's right to quit his job and take a better one makes pay good, also working conditions. Employers who are liberal and considerate of their employees get the best men and head the best organizations. This is as much a part of America's Free Enterprise system as owning property. Competition NOT MANY years Was a Game ago competent workmen often quit their jobs with big corporations to go in business for themselves. They did it, not because they were sure to earn more. In fact they knew they might earn less. They did it for liberty to use their own ideas. They had faith in their own plans to prosper. The element of chance made it genuine fun to operate businesses of their own. Running your own business is no fun now; more like a headache, and this sad fact is closing the doors of many one-time thriving little enterprises. Three-fourths of all American workers are engaged in small business. If, in the post-war period, small employers are hopeless; if they find no reason to stay in business, see no chance to excel, get no fun out of competition, jobs will be really scarce. There is no certainty of enough jobs after the war for service men and former war workers in pursuits of peace. There is no assurance in the words of the politician getting tough with crippled industry saying, "Big Business must employ them or support them on WPA." It is like the voice of the benighted father cursing his maimed child. But the right steps will assure plenty of jobs. Next week we will start to outline those steps. Strongest impression you gain at both plants is—there's no waste! Every last element of the orange oil lemon that can possibly be used is extracted, refined, purified and sold. The Exchange Products Department handles sales for both plants and scouts for new markets. The Research Department constantly seeks new uses, new products... While now producing largely for war, the whole peacetime function of the products operation is to return the grower every possible dollar for a fruit which cannot be profitably sold in the fresh fruit market, thus enhancing the total per acre return. This operation works out remarkably well for Exchange growers, for two reasons. First, the efficiency and economy of large scale operations. Second, the grower participates directly in the processing business and shares in its returns. It's just one more way, added to all the other ways, in which Exchange growers come out better because of cooperative effort. Why don't you join them?

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 September 4, 1919 The Heffern Oil company which was organized one year ago with capital barely sufficient to drill one well, was re-organized last week and application for articles of incorporation was filed with the county clerk Friday. The stock is divided into 5,000,000 shares of $1 each. The directors are W. C. Heffern, Herman Stern and W. A. Dolan of Anaheim; E. K. Benchley, F. C. Krause, W. R. Ritchie and Dr. D. C. Cowles of Fullerton. The Heffron company has bought the field nearer to Anaheim. Well No. 1 is only three miles from this city.

The long summer vacation is nearly over and the problems of school—classes, home work, “exams”—now loom ahead. The job of educating our youngsters was never a more vital one than it is today. It is not merely to hand down to them a collection of dusty dates, names and facts, but to inculcate within them appreciation of their privileges and responsibilities as citizens in a democratic nation. Probably more 'teen agers have worked this summer than ever before. High wages will tempt many of them to stay out of school "just for a while." The longer a youngster stays out, the more reluctant he is to return.

Smythe who died in 1906, has filed a petition for a decree terminating Smythe's homestead interest in property in Anaheim. The petitioner came into possession of the property in 1876. H. G. Ames is her attorney. The city clerk of Fullerton has received word that forty thousand pounds of government bacon is on the way to that city to be sold to Fullerton and Anaheim people. Bob McKee was in town from Placentia Saturday evening. Some months ago he purchased a five-acre ranch near the oil town, and just recently he became the owner of sixteen acres more adjoining. The entire twenty-one acres is now under an oil lease. The owner receiving a cash bonus of $500 per acre with a royalty of one-sixth of the production. Mrs. Emma M. Polhemus has returned to her home at Miraflores after an absence of six weeks in the north, during which time she visited friends at San Jose and Santa Barbara. Mrs. Leo Sheridan and her little daughter are visiting relatives in Minneapolis. They will be absent two months, and will visit a number of points in the East. Mr. and Mrs. William Chambers, Foster Chambers, Mrs. Long and Miss Ruth Coons were among Anaheim visitors to Redondo Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tausch and Mr. and Mrs. Al Nowotny spent Sunday at Balboa. There was an alarm of fire at eight o'clock Sunday evening, and the department made a run to the vicinity of Broadway and Vine streets, the scene of the supposed conflagration, but found the alarm was false. A few electric sparks from crossed wires was responsible for the mistake. C. A. Norman, Ed. Amerige, E. P. Fowler, T. J. Jones, J. B. Pierce, W. R. Harker, H. C. Kellogg, E. Barr, Dr. Reid, A. M.

The Republican County convention will be held on Monday the 17th inst., the primaries coming on the preceding Saturday. The Democrats will probably hold their convention on the 22nd. This will give us plenty of time to have lots of fun with the candidates during the campaign. Clarence Groat is putting in a small cement ditch for Mrs. Bittner at her place on the southwest corner of Center and Citron streets. Mr. Reid has sold his drugstore to Messrs. George F. Jessen and P. A. Derge. Mr. Jessen is already quite well known to our citizens and needs no introduction at our hands. Mr. Derge is a first class druggist and pharmacist, recently from Chicago, and since he has been in this state has been employed in the drug business at Pasadena and Orange. Santa Ana school bonds recently voted to the extent of $4,000 for the erection of a school house, have been found to be invalid, because the election was operated under the law of 1891, instead of 1893. The 1891 law has been repealed, but this was not found out until after the bonds had been voted. Another election will be necessary. Ben Dresser was down from Los Angeles yesterday. He informs us Anaheim appears quiet alongside of Los Angeles, and that the Angelic city is growing fast, the average number of new houses going up there being three thousand monthly. Mrs. Garfias, sister of Mrs. Theo Rimpau, who formerly resided in Anaheim, but is now living in the City of Mexico, visited in town during the week. Her son, Manuel, who spent his school days in Anaheim, and later became a General in the Mexican Army, was killed about a year ago in an engagement between the Mexican Army and Insurrectionists. Her other son, Mariano, is at present youngsters was never vital one than it is today.

Probably more 'teen agers have worked this summer than ever before. High wages will tempt many of them to stay out of school "just for a while." The longer a youngster stays out, the more reluctant he is to return. The temporary financial advantage gained by continuing to work will never compensate for the lack of a complete education. Parents should not only insist that their children return to school, but should encourage them to save a substantial part of their earnings for their future education. Money set aside for a higher education will pay dividends which cannot be measured in dollars. The American Public Schools system is a bulwark against the flood of foreign ideologies.
