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! (Continued From Page 1) whereby the government furnished all the money, commandeered all the materials, guaranteed Management a profit above all costs, regardless of what the cost was, and under those conditions the job got done. In other words, if the government will give me all the monwar and then have it used for senators to print year-old speeches, when they are not even running for election. Mr. Moore used to be quite a leader in Democratic politics in Oklahoma, but he's a Republican now. He made $17-million in the oil business and it's hard to stay a Democrat with that much money;—but not so hard to get yourself elected to the U.S. senate. Attention Charley Vernon, editor Yorba Linda Star: It's happened again! But of course anything can happen at Newport Beach, and usually does, and now "Brick" Gains, who writes a column called "Brick Dust," in the Newport-Balboa Press, has picked up that terrible phrase "it seems..." IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Quarter Century ago. The History in Print of the Dairy and Orange County in the 25 Years Ago October 2—1919 The rainstorm which visited this section the first of the year was one of the heaviest ever ordered so early in the season. Cording to Max Nebelung's gaze 2.70 inches fell at Anaheim. The year to this date only half an hour fallen. The entire south drenched by the rian Saturday night and Monday and the fires were effectively squelched. Beans have been considered damaged and the harvest delayed but the parched earth receive thorough soaking: Once again the voters of Anaheim have declared by the ballot that they are opposed to a park with municipal buildings thereon. Considering the intermittent surprising that only 889 were cast. This is considerably less than half the registration. Proponents pulled 553 of them and the opponents 336, leaving yeas 40 votes short of the required two-thirds. whereby the government furnished all the money, commandeered all the materials, guaranteed Management a profit above all costs, regardless of what the cost was, and under those conditions the job got done. In other words, if the government will give me all the money needed and guarantee a profit above costs, I will "manage" and publish the best newspaper in the world—and take the credit for it. This story is not intended to be little the ability that has gone into the war effort. We have the best scientists, engineers, mechanics, and the best business brains to be found in the world. All those attributes were here before the war started, but all this intelligence and energy was being suppressed, hamstrung and made helpless by a system of private enterprise economy that says, "No, you can't do that!" It took the financial power of the government plus the government's authority to enforce orders to even get us started to prepare for this war. The wastage in the war effort that the government is now criticized for was not the government's fault. It was the natural consequence of private enterprise operating on government money with a guarantee of profit above cost, regardless of what the cost was. You and I would do the same thing under the same circumstances. What I am wondering is, if there is any lesson or moral in this experience that might be of some benefit to all the people in time of peace, or even in case of another war? I have known some mighty good men who aspired to run for congress but they didn't have the $50—or $60,000 needed to make the race for the two-year job that pays $10,000 a year. In recent years the cost of the presidential election campaign to all parties, they say, has been between 30 and 40 million dollars. It's surprising how much money there is in this country and how little of it some of us ever see. A long time ago I used to "preach" about some of the things I thought we were doing bass-ackwards, as the saying is, but nobody wanted to be bothered about a better way to do anything. Eventually a group of young scientists and engineers figured out, scientificly- Attention Charley Vernon, editor Yorba Linda Star: It's happened again! But of course anything can happen at Newport Beach, and usually does, and now "Brick" Gains, who writes a column called "Brick Dust," in the Newport-Balboa Press, has picked up that terrible phrase "it seems like," probably from the Los Angeles Times, and he used it in his column last week! I imagine if the name of the paper were transposed to "Balboa-Newport," instead of Newport-Balboa, such a thing would never have happened, Balboa being more highbrow than that! Merchant Marine To Open Drive Here for More Men America's Merchant Marine needs more men! As our enemies are pushed back, supply lines are lengthened. As supply lines are lengthened more ships are needed. More ships means more men to man them. So next week, the United States Maritime Service—the government training corps for the Merchant Marine—is opening an enrolling booth in Anaheim at 124 West Center Street. The booth will remain open Monday through Saturday. Hours will be 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. To qualify for training under government supervision you must be between the ages of 16 and 17½ years; 26 to 50; or, if under 26 you must be an honorably discharged veteran of this war or in an "F" or "L" classification and able to pass the necessary physical examination. Men who qualify will be sent to Catalina Island for training. While there they will be trained for positions aboard Uncle Sam's Victory Fleet. They will receive pay, uniforms, and subsistence while in training and at the conclusion of their training period they will ship with the merchant marine. The Anaheim enrolling campaign is one of the first of its kind ever carried on by the U.S. Maritime Service. Here the Maritime hopes to reach men who have already thought of serving on merchant ships, but who have no information on the subject and how it's hard to stay a Democrat with that much money;—but not so hard to get yourself elected to the U.S. senate. Once again the voters of Anaheim have declared by the ballot that they are opposed to a park with municipal buildings thereon. Considering the interim manifested in the election in surprising that only 889 votes cast. This is considered less than half the registration. Proponents pulled 553 of them and the opponents 336, leaving yeas 40 votes short of the required two-thirds. While the people of Anaheim most unanimously favor a park, many of them always been opposed to the library because as a site. Sentiment was strong in favor of the Liberty Park position after the Laugenberger Fer fell through, until the same ballot was distributed and discovered that in favoring park they were also required establish it as a city hall site. Trustees explained that the city hall would not be built less the voters were given and opportunity to declare their reference by their ballots in the lection of a site, but many cannot understand why the decision was on the ballot if it did mean anything. They were posed to changing the location of the city hall in any case. John Selinger has bought some pedigreed rabbits and will mown them as a sideline on his Oranje thorpe ranch as a means of saving the high cost of living. Gus Laugenberger has sold orange orchard at the corner Lemon and Sycamore streets Frederick Seamers for $60,000 has gone to San Francisco, where he has property interests, and now a resident of that city. Archer Fay continues to prove from his recent severeness of pneumonia and it is how he will soon be restorted to usual health. The Fullerton high school fball team defeated Covina at lerton on Tuesday afternoon practice game by a score of 50. Friday and Saturday of week, Falkenstein's department store will have its fall open. An ivitation is extended to all ladies to call and see the latest styles on display. The S.Q.R. store will have fall opening with a complete set of autumn merchandise on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A dial invitation is extended to A long time ago I used to "preach" about some of the things I thought we were doing bass-ackwards, as the saying is, but nobody wanted to be bothered about a better way to do anything. Eventually a group of young scientists and engineers figured out, scientifically and definitely, the things I had talked about but had only a glimpse of in my mind's eye. They called their "discovery" Technocracy and their idea went over like wildfire for a time, until it could be suppressed by the big financial and political powers. This group, however, would not stay suppressed and I understand their organization is still functioning. Maybe Technocracy is the answer to something or other. I haven't made a study of it, but I'm going to, because I'm not afraid of new ideas and you can't learn anything by refusing to learn. Whether Mr. Dewey gets himself elected president or not, this campaign has given him a chance to see some country he had never seen before, although the education will be a little costly for the bunch that's putting up the expense money. A 16-page booklet containing a speech made in December, 1943, by U.S. Senator E. H. Moore of Oklahoma, is just now being circulated in large numbers. I don't know why he waited almost a year to broadcast that speech, at least I don't suppose the election campaign has anything to do with it. But you get discouraged at trying to save waste paper for the there they will be trained for positions aboard Uncle Sam's Victory Fleet. They will receive pay, uniforms, and subsistence while in training and at the conclusion of their training period they will ship with the merchant marine. The Anaheim enrolling campaign is one of the first of its kind ever carried on by the U.S. Maritime Service. Here the Maritime hopes to reach men who have already thought of serving on merchant ships, but who have no information on the subject and how to proceed. To a man who wants a better job If a job means something more to you than just putting in time... if who you work for is as important as what you do... then you are the man we'd like to talk to. Here at Southern Pacific there is a fine opening for you — and in the work of your choice. There are jobs for experienced machinists, carpenters, boilermakers — for craftsmen of all kinds. Jobs for semi- or unskilled men ... and at many points, good clerical jobs. Remember, when Germany's finished, S. P. will have more work than ever... rolling the war westward in the Big Push against Japan. Whatever job you take at S. P. will be a vital job ... and will have that interest and excitement to it that is always part of railroading. Good wages. Friendly people to work with. Railroad pass privileges. Fine pension plan. Medical services. A job with S. P. you'll find, is a real job. Look into it now. Apply to local S. P. Agent, or S. P.

Acceding to Max Nebelung's gauge inches fell at Anaheim. Last fall to this date only half an inch fallen. The entire south was reached by the rian Saturday and Monday and the forest were effectively squelched. Maps have been considerably aged and the harvest delayed, the parched earth received a rough soaking: Once again the voters of Anaheim have declared by the ballot they are opposed to a city with municipal buildings soon.

The contents pulled 553 of these the opponents 336, leaving the 40 votes short of the required thirds. 50 Years Ago October 4—1894 The Presbyterian Sunday School held a rally service last Sunday morning. There was an unusually large attendance and the time was spent mainly in a review of the quarter’s lessons led by the superintendent. During the eleven o’clock service there were reports from the Librarian and Treasurer, Bert Boyd, the secretary, Burton Heald, and the superintendent, S. E. Keiffer, and an address by the pastor, Rev. J. Beaizeley. The Sunday School was organized in 1860 with J. B. Pierce as superintendent. It is now in a flourishing condition, with an average attendance of eighty. During the year the collections have amounted to $95. Almost $85 have been expended in replenishing the library, which now contains about 200 volumes. Owing to the conflicting dates, the Hon. J. H.

Elliott went up to Bakersfield on Monday on a business trip.

He was a native of El Paso, Texas and had lived in Anaheim. Lions Hear C. of O'C Secretary Tell of Our Home Town Secretary Ross Lee Laird of Chamber of Commerce killed two birds with one stone last Friday when he made an improbable speech before the Lions club its noon luncheon meeting. Called upon to pinch-hit on the program when the scheduled speaker could not appear, Secretary Laird only did a good job of entertaining the Lions but at the same time gave them a real chamber of commerce “sales” talk on “Our Home Town.” Lion Marshal Beebe called attention to the county clerk’s report that the registration of voters so far this year is 9,000 short normal, in spite of the increase of thousands in the county’s population, over the last general election period in 1942. He urged Lions to be sure they were registered and to make it their personal business to get all eligible voters to register before the deadline, midnight tonight, September 28. President Thayer Chapman presided at the meeting.

Theees explained that the new hall would not be built until the voters were given another opportunity to declare their presence by their ballots in the season of a site, but many could understand why the declaration was on the ballot if it did not on anything. They were opened to changing the location of city hall in any case.

Budd, Democratic candidate for governor was unable to attend the Democratic meeting here last Thursday. He had been invited to review the national guard on parade on that day at San Diego previous to the arrangements made for his reception here, and consequently was unable to be present at the meeting.

Jeter, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and Judge Kenney of San Diego addressed the assemblage at the Opera house, and were listened to with rapt attention. The Commercial Hotel was made the headquarters of the visiting party, and the hotel was beautifully decorated with flowers in honor of the event. At noon a large number sat down to the banquet and a beautiful repast was indulged in. Toasts were responded to and a very pleasant occasion was enjoyed. Mr. Budd addressed a meeting at Santa Ana in the evening at which a large crowd was in attendance. Prudencio Yorba was in town yesterday and informs us that his brother Dave, who is the Democratic nominee for county auditor, is giving more attention to sheep nowadays than to politics, having gone over yesterday to Riverside county to look for a band. But Dave will make a strong run on election day, and if elected to office, it will be a deserved recognition of one of the leading members of the Hispano-Americans of the county.

J. Knudson, OPA rationing representative announced today. A drop of 132 cars from the August allocation of 312 automobiles is made in this smallest quota since passenger car rationing began. Three months ago the Southland quota was 640 cars. The national quota for September is 3,000 cars with another 300 as regional and 300 as national emergency reserves, the OPA announced. The current national inventory of new cars is approximately 20,000 vehicles, half of which are in the lower price range. Because no new cars have been manufactured since February 1942, the present stockpile must last until production is resumed. Thus is probable that quotas will continue to become smaller as eligibility requirements become stricter in the coming months, OPA said. Everybody reads The Gazette.
