Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXV A Legal Newspaper ANA We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR In and About "The Orange Capitol of the World" From now until after election I'm going to lay off of the subject of politics. In fact there are three subjects one should never discuss at any time, especially just before an election. They are politics, religion, and prohibition. I have seen some pretty big failures in all of them, yet they all have merit and I would recommend that they all be practiced to relieve the plight of the millions of less fortunate, in this country. The condition is almost nation-wide, and unless this war to abolish slavery is to become a farce in the future, we will have to do something to relieve our own people from the slavery and poverty in which they find themselves. Unless you've seen it you wouldn't believe the story From now until after election I'm going to lay off of the subject of politics. In fact there are three subjects one should never discuss at any time, especially just before an election. They are politics, religion, and prohibition. I have seen some pretty big failures in all of them, yet they all have merit and I would recommend that they all be practiced, especially the latter two. I'm not going to fall out with anybody over his politics or religion, or his views on prohibition, and I don't want anybody to fall out with me, so that's why I think I'll keep still and listen. I don't care how you vote, but be sure to vote. I have been a pretty severe critic of labor strikes in general, and in defense plants during the war, in particular. Not than I am against the unions, I used to be a union printer myself—but usually we outsiders do not know the facts behind a labor dispute, and there is generally two sides to every story. According to President Roosevelt the time lost on account of strikes has been less than one-half of one percent, including the so-called "outlaw" strikes, which of course appears to be too much under war hysteria. However, most of us know little about what provoked the strikes. As a matter of fact some of the strikes were promoted by contracting firms who had to create a condition "beyond their control" in order NOT to fulfill contracts they knew they couldn't fulfill when they made them. Also, you don't hear about the wasted manhours, deliberately sabotaged by some defense plant operators who hired more men than they needed for the mercenary purpose of padding the expense to get the guaranteed "10-percent plus" profit on war contracts. I have known a good many defense plant mechanics and white collar workers, who were paid high wages for doing practically nothing, who were not allowed to quit their jobs when they remonstrated against being in enforced idleness when they knew they could and should be doing productive work. That is the highest form of nazism, the thing we are fighting in Germany—openly practiced in our own country. If you must criticize and condemn labor, why don't you try to get both sides of the story? wages for doing practically nothing, who were not allowed to quit their jobs when they remonstrated against being in enforced idleness when they knew they could and should be doing productive work. That is the highest form of nazism, the thing we are fighting in Germany—openly practiced in our own country. If you must criticize and condemn labor, why don’t you try to get both sides of the story? Everybody will please stand on their heads who believe the pictures of the girls of the army who are shown pitching hay with nothing on but a little pair of short panties and a “bra” were not just posed for as part of somebody’s dumb scheme to get publicity. In the first place the girls are not helping with the farm work, and if they were they wouldn’t undress to go out to work in the hay field. If you’ve ever worked in a hay field you won’t be fooled by any of these fake pictures. Men who follow the haying business don’t even get tough enough to work in the hay without their clothes on. We are pretty smug here in California, living among our orange groves and oil wells, and all the other wealth that comes out of the ground and the tourists. We feel so far away from other less fortunate sections that we forget to realize that things are not so rosy in some other places. California is a rich state and most of her residents enjoy a higher standard of living than those in many other states, although even here one-half the population doesn’t know how the other half lives. If you think we are over-doing the social reform thing, I will venture the prediction that we haven’t even started analyze that situation, except under Hoover nobody had $23.28, while under Roosevelt everybody has $101.44 and more too, and the whole world never had to finance a war of the magnitude the one America is financing now. Of course we could have done nothing about it and let the Germans and Japs come on over and capture us. I don’t know how I’ll ever pay my $1,962 but I still don’t believe I’d like to be governed by the Germans and Japs. The threatened renewal of coffee rationing has been called off. Farm machinery is off the ration list. Gasoline rationing is to be relaxed at the end of the war with Germany. Whiskey is more plentiful. But tankers are still hauling crude oil from the United States to the Carribean Islands to be made into gasoline which is hauled back to the United States, while the so-called “cheap” gasoline made in our own refineries is being dumped back down the oil wells to keep people from trying to use it. Anyway, as far as we know we have stopped shipping scrap iron to Japan, and we might even be fooled about that. The government isn’t forcing communism onto the people, but sure as the world, the people are forcing communism onto themselves. It doesn’t work as a mass movement by all the people at one time, but by various groups sparing for special privileges for their own members. It also consists of individuals by the millions demanding jobs on the government payroll, of certain groups demanding special legislation to guarantee them concessions not enjoyed by other individuals who (Continued on page 2) "AHEIM GAZETE Est. 1870 "In The Heart of the Valencia Orange District" ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1923 G.E.

Prospect that the big industrial plant would be located in Anaheim has not been publicized locally, pending working out the many details involved, during which time the company's legal department has negotiated for the land. Attracted to Anaheim by its many advantages as an ideal location for a plant of this character, as well as its environment as a home site for the hundreds of employees of the factory and their families, the General Electric company officials were favorably impressed with this city from the start of their negotiations. That this city has the facilities, in the form of schools, churches, parks, water and climate, all considered vital to the success of a big enterprise of this nature, is confirmed by the closing of the deal for the factory site.

While no definite information has been given out by the General Electric company, it is understood the plant will be constructed as soon after the war as materials can be secured.

The announcement from San Francisco, carried by International News Service, stated that plastic parts for airplanes will be made in the new plant. Local industrial committeemen are of the opinion that plastic parts will also be made for at least some of the many other electrical appliances manufactured by the company. It will be remembered that in 1924 a group of forward-looking Anaheim business men organized the Community Industrial Land company and purchased 40 acres of vacant property in the north edge of Anaheim. This land was bought for the purpose of providing factory sites for industries that might desire to locate here. Several plants are already located on the tract, one of the most recent being the Essex Wire company, a valuable addition to the industrial life of the city. As a result of the foresightedness of this group of Anaheim boosters this city now has an opportunity to become a manufacturing center when industry moves to the coast following the war. Present directors of the Community Land Company are, O. H. Renner, president; Henry Adams, Joe Collings, Dr. H. A. Johnston, Chas. H. Mann, A. E. Riutcel, and F. A. Yungbluth.
