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! We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR (Continued From Page 1) respectively, while we are sticking our necks out trying to solve the problems of 400-odd million mysterious people whose recorded history goes back to 2205 B.C. We probably understand the Chinese less than we do the Japanese, and to 15-cents here. I doubt if the smokers would kick on a reasonable raise, even where there is a state tax, but they are kicking on the fake shortage idea to force the price raise through. Also, we are furnishing free cigarettes to a good many thousand German prisoners of war, to build good will and make the Germans like us. That this is working nicely is indicated by the threats the Germans make when captured, about what they are going to do to us in the next war. In the meantime our own soldiers are being rationed and American civilians roll their own, or do without, while would-be comedians clutter up the air lanes to tell you to "ask again tomorrow."

We probably understand the Chinese less than we do the Japanese, and it didn’t bother us, nor Great Britain, very much so long as the Japanese overrunning of China was not a direct threat to ourselves. Now it behooves us and the British to help China fight Japan, but Gen. Stilwell could not see the point in helping the provisional government fight a civil war, therefore Chiang Kai-Shek asked for his removal. In the meantime Gen. Pat Hurley, former Tulsa, Oklahoma oil man, and former Secretary of War, a good Republican Catholic, has been appointed by President Roosevelt as ambassador to China to try to figure out what it’s all about. Pat Hurley should be able to get to the bottom of things if anybody can, but there is no bottom to the mystery of China. In the old days, about the turn of this century, the United States standing army was a hodge-podge of humanity made up of about every nationality of people who came to these shores, or who had any curiosity to know the secrets, if any, of the U.S. Army. As a small boy I lived in a frontier military outpost, which is now the great induction center of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. At that time it was a speck on the landscape of an unsettled country inhabited by native blanket Indians, and 100 soldiers, Troop C of the 8th Cavalry to be exact, and a few officers’ families. Even in that small group of soldiers there were foreigners of most every description, including natives of Germany, who claimed they had run away from Germany to escape compulsory military duty, only to come here and join the United States army even before they had learned to speak good English. At that early date Germany was planning the war that finally developed in 1914, and no doubt some of those Germans who served as privates in the United States army went back and became officers in the German army that fought us in 1917-18. But our army isn’t a “foreign legion” any more the first rea good many thousand German prisoners of war, to build good will and make the Germans like us. That this is working nicely is indicated by the threats the Germans make when captured, about what they are going to do to us in the next war. In the meantime our own soldiers are being rationed and American civilians roll their own, or do without, while would-be comrades clutter up the air lanes to tell you to “ask again tomorrow.” The tobacco trust doesn’t care what kind of cigarettes you smoke, although they advertise each brand as the best, via their million-dollar radio programs. They operate like a midway at a carnival when all the rest keep still while one barker harangues the crowd until he gets his share of the suckers, then the barker at the next tent cuts loose with his song and dance. I had formerly had a better opinion of the cigarette people than that. I have been reading up a little on this thing called Technocracy and I have found out why it is not accepted as a theory by big politics and big finance. Technocracy is not a political organization, but is a non-partisan, nonprofit set-up for the furtherance of science and invention, which it teaches should be reflected in the operation of government and business. The reason it is not universally accepted appears to be that it advocates conscription of men, materials, and money in time of war. In other words, it proposes to take the profit out of war. Poor Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma ran for re-election on that same platform three years ago, but all they had to do to beat him was enter a 72-year old multi-millionaire in the race against him and his name was mud. The whole world regrets the fact that Secretary of State Cordell Hull was forced to resign on account of ill health, but everybody sincerely hopes that he will regain his health and live to lend his counsel and influence in the problems of world unity for many years to come. The stalwart Tennessee will go down in history as one of the century’s greatest statesmen. Cordell Hull in his rise to prominence in world affairs was too big to be a pawn of petty partisan politics, but he kept the common touch and maintained the good neighbor policy of his home state, which he hopes will become a world-wide tradition. When you called at Cordell Hull’s Mrs. J. B. Stone of was in town on Monday accompanied by her friend Charley and Tom, the lairing come down from Meridian short visit. Mrs. Stone is the pioneer residents Orange district, located ranch there with her husbands family in 1868. She is 81 years old and recalls many incidents of the early day section. Mrs. Herman Dickel did manda Park sanitarium day after an illness months. Mrs. Dickel daughter of pioneer reservation Anaheim, her father, Thad Schmidt, having had them naming this city in 192 leaves a husband, three two sisters, Mrs. E. R., this city and Mr. J. H. B. Los Angeles. After an illness of many Mrs. Elizabeth Winney, w J. Winney died Friday her husband Mrs. Winney two sons and five daughters of her sons, W. A. and Winney served in France the war. Funeral service held at Bach and Territory day at 10 o'clock, Rev. J. phrey of the M.E. Churching. Interment was in cemetery. J. H. Whitaker who purchased a residence atner of Emily and Adm moved his family into Herr of Pasadena has made house at the corner and Chartres, vacated by er. The Valencia hotel bar been leased to R. B. H will open a first class room therein. He expects to place open by the middle quarter. Hunt was former prieter of the Town cafe Beach. Major Will E.

Major Bailey cently returned from where he was ordered on mission for the governn was absent several mo visited France Germany had run away from Germany to escape compulsory military duty, only to come here and join the United States army even before they had learned to speak good English. At that early date Germany was planning the war that finally developed in 1914, and no doubt some of those Germans who served as privates in the United States army went back and became officers in the German army that fought us in 1917-18. But our army isn't a "foreign legion" any more, the first requirement for joining up being that you are an American citizen. About that time, also, Germany was spreading propaganda in this country, including German history books, all designed to instill fear in American minds of the super race that we are having to whip for the second and last time. When we get through whipping them this time they'll stay whipped! Sidelights on the cigarette shortage, which so far has not been explained by the tobacco trust. A congressional investigating committee reports that there is no cause for the shortage, as far as they are able to find, and that it positively is not on account of a shortage of leaf tobacco. Smokers here grab the off-brand packages which the tobacco trust is evidently trying to "unload" while the excitement is on. Across the border in Mexico there are plenty of American made cigarettes selling now at 40-cents a package, according to reports. As soon as the raise in price goes through there will be plenty of them here, but OPA is running into complications and so far has refused to allow the price to be raised. The raise would have to be general and some states have a cigarette tax, as high as 5 cents per package, in Oklahoma for instance, making the retail price 20- or 21-cents as compared lend his counsel and influence in the problems of world unity for many years to come. The stalwart Tennessee will go down in history as one of the century's greatest statesmen. Cordell Hull in his rise to prominence in world affairs was too big to be a pawn of petty partisan politics, but he kept the common touch and maintained the good neighbor policy of his home state, which he hopes will become a world-wide tradition. When you called at Cordell Hull's office in the Capitol building he greeted you with friendly hospitality. He was glad you called to bring tidings from the outside and invited you to make his office your headquarters. He was not too big for that, yet the world listened to his words and trusted implicitly in his honesty and integrity of purpose. It will be well for those who take over his work to carry on if they will invite his counsel and let the world know it. He belongs to the world. I never paid much attention to Earl Browder, so-called head of the Communist party in this country, until they brought him into the limelight during the recent election campaign. Since then I've been trying to find out something about him and from what reliable information I have had he appears to be a harmless sort of a fellow. Also plenty smart. One of the crimes he is charged with is that he was born in America! He is a native of Kansas, perhaps even a relative of Carrie Nation, who knows?

Pellegrin, who was then acting as chairman of the Finance Committee, gave Wommer and Halpin, who were then in the coal business, the privilege of borrowing coal from the city, the same to be returned, "when the borrowers received a lot from the railroad company," but as the firm has never received the "lot," the same has not as yet been returned. About five and a quarter tons were borrowed. The matter was left to the finance committee who will take it out of Charlie Wommer's wages. The matter of raising Lemon street between Chartres and Center, in order to drain off rain water, was left to the Elks lodge Sunday of departed members five original members were They were Erwin Bayh Cassidy, Maurice Boisseren V.

Ben Yorba was in town on business on Monday, Mr. Yorba gives encouraging reports concerning the oil output in one of the wells in which he holds an interest. Fritz Kluewer has changed the name of the Exchange Grill to the Dew Drop Inn Cafe. Fritz was at one time decorator of a big cafe in Paris and brought some French ideas across the water with him. He has invested several hundred dollars in the artificial vines and flowers with which he has draped the room and the cozy barrel stalls — but the birds singing among the leaves are real. Mrs. Mary Zeigler is having her residence repainted and the interior redecorated. At the memorial services held Gifts that are Right for the Occasion CALIFORNIA SCENIC VIEWS Mrs. J. B.

What proved to be the heaviest rainstorm that we have had in several years began as we were going to press last Wednesday evening, at which time we reported something less than an inch had fallen. The storm continued during the night and Thursday morning when the total precipitation amounted to a fraction over three inches. During the week showers have increased this to 3.66.
