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) If any?

According to what is supposed to be reliable estimates, the Germans have murdered 16,350,000 civilians—men, women and my country if I had to, and if I knew I had to go I probably would even volunteer in the hope of getting a little better break than to go as a draftee, as most everybody else does. Some of my ancestors met the Mayflower when she landed at Plymouth Rock and some of them came over on that boat.

If the atrocity stories can be believed there apparently is not much difference between them, with the balance probably a little in favor of the Japs. According to what is supposed to be reliable estimates, the Germans have murdered 16,350,000 civilians—men, women and children, since they started on their campaign of extermination in this war. The Japs might have murdered as many or more, except they haven't come in contact with that many other people. Nobody would expect the Japs to do otherwise, but of the two races it would seem that the Germans are the most cruel and ruthless. Nobody makes excuses for the Japs, while there are some who prefer to vindicate the German people, laying the blame on Hitler, Himmler, and others. The truth seems to be that every German in Germany is a little Hitler or a little Himmler, natural born murderers. How are you going to deal with people like the Japs and Germans, born with a lust for blood, cruel, cunning and forever plotting to enslave or kill all other people of the world? Why are they on the earth, anyway? Would there be anything wrong about completely exterminating them, as they have tried to exterminate others? Or, when you come right down to cases, are we who call ourselves Americans, any better or any worse than those two races? What is this thing called civilization, or is there any such thing? What's it all about? I'm asking you? And Harry Fackiner barges in this morning and springs this one: "Be it ever so humble there's no face like your own." Some people probably wonder what good all these service clubs are anyway; just a lot of tired businessmen who think they're busy, rushing around doing this and that; meeting once a week to over-eat and otherwise act like a bunch of kids. Well, maybe if that's all they did it would still be worth while, but that isn't all they do, even if you don't hear much about anything else. Take for instance at Christmas time every year the Anaheim Lions club gives a big party for all the crippled children that brings a thrill to those little shutins and English side of the house fought in the Revolutionary War and some of them have fought in all the wars that have happened since that time. But I still reserve the right to see the faults of our own country, the people and the government, even though we like to compare ourselves favorably with everybody else. In that connection we have welcomed foreigners from every country who were willing to become citizens and be assimilated, and adopt our laws and customs. We have proudly referred to our country as "the great melting pot," and the fusion of some foreign blood has been a good thing. Without hating the Japs because they are Japanese, and in view of recent happenings, I believe we should bar them from residence in this country; or any other race that will not or cannot be assimilated. We now have in this country about three and a half million unnaturalized and unassimilated foreigners who are willing to stay here and enjoy the benefits of this country, but unwilling to accept any of the responsibilities. Of the huge number of Japanese in this country, native or imported, it is a known fact that more than 25 percent still deny allegiance to America and claim loyalty to Japan. My opinion is that the other 75 percent are in the same category, although some claim to be loyal Americans. Of all the native-born Japanese of military age and subject to the draft, more than one out of each four refused to pledge allegience to America or to do military duty. In dealing with such problems I can see no reason why residents with real American backgrounds are not entitled to some consideration while we handle the foreign element with silk gloves; such as allowing a band of disloyal Japs to defy all laws, the government and the United States army—and get away with it. Apparently the former Japanese residents of the west coast are soon going to be sent back here, in fact some already have been. While the record of Japanese residents, even in Orange county, proves that they cannot be trusted, if our own government sends them back they will be entitled to all the protection afforded any other citizen. They should not be subjected to bodily harm-or to inhuman treatment while they are here; the law against cruelty to animals should forbid that—but steps should be taken to legally deport every Jap of every description, native-born or otherwise, and see that they stay deported. It's about time we stock holders of the Ftional and American Sail Banks held their annual Tuesday for the purpose of hiring directors and officers ensuing year. The directors for the First National were Holcomb, Samuel Kraemer Benjamin, A. S. Bradford Harttranft, F. C. Benjam Charles Eygabroad. The elected F. C. Benjamin presided over H. Benjamin cashier. The can Savings Bank directed W. J. Sieman, Samuel Kraemer C. E. Holcomb, F. C. Benjam and A. S. Bradford. And thecers elected are W. J. Sieman president, Samuel Kraemer president, E.

The Anaheim Fire compa their annual election night and elected Richard businessmen who think they're busy, rushing around doing this and that; meeting once a week to over-eat and otherwise act like a bunch of kids. Well, maybe if that's all they did it would still be worth while, but that isn't all they do, even if you don't hear much about anything else. Take for instance at Christmas time every year the Anaheim Lions club gives a big party for all the crippled children that brings a thrill to those little shutins and physically handicapped boys and girls that they do not forget throughout the year. The Lions raise the money for this event largely among their own members, from "fines" for being late at the meeting and various other reasons. Last week they provided a deserving grade school boy with glasses. They pay a part of the rent for the Teen Age Canteen building as a public service project, etc., etc. The Kiwanians, Rotarians, and others carry on similar projects. I lived in Pomona in 1922 when the Pomona Lions club sponsored and put on the first Los Angeles County Fair, which was later officially taken over by the county and soon became the largest county fair in the world, even larger than any state fair in America. Service clubs take hold where chambers of commerce and city officials leave off and they do a job that nobody else can do. They ask for no individual credit and too often get none, but the members of these clubs feel well repaid for the time, effort and money they put into the simple thing of doing something for somebody else. I am not much of a flag-waver and I do not claim to be any more patriotic than any other average citizen. I would go and fight for in Orange county, proves that they cannot be trusted, if our own government sends them back they will be entitled to all the protection afforded any other citizen. They should not be subjected to bodily harm or to inhuman treatment while they are here; the law against cruelty to animals should forbid that—but steps should be taken to legally deport every Jap of every description, native-born or otherwise, and see that they stay deported. It's about time we thought of America as the home of Americans, first, at least. The British government at one time had to import women into Australia as mates for the surplus of men. Now it seems that the Australian men are pretty mad because so many of the native women are marrying American soldiers. Judging from the rules about importing Australian wives into the United States, it would be easier for the contracting male to take up permanent residence in Australia,—that is if the Australian men will let him stay there.

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 Dally Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Ploneers. 25 Years Ago January 15—1920 The Board of Supervisors has just issued a beautiful descriptive pamphlet of Orange county which was written by D. W. McDonnaid, the county development agent. It for free distribution and the acts it tells would be a revelation to the folks back home. The Anaheim board of trade will soon have a supply on hand. County Engineer McBride has taught a topographical map of orange county park as a preliminary step toward the beautification of the park by Miss Florence Buch, landscape architect, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Yoch Santa Ana. The board of supervisors recently passed a resolution varding a contract to Miss Yoch for the work, which will include more other details, the laying out walks, planting of trees and rubber where needed, and the beautification of the entrance to the park. Miss Yoch will receive $1,000 for her services. Stock holders of the First National and American Savings 50 Years Ago January 17—1895 Yesterday afternoon the sun appeared for the first time from behind the banks of clouds that have obscured his vision since Sunday. The weather clerk will please let up on the rain for the present and give the farmers a chance to plow. Owing to the interruption of mail communications on account of washouts since the rain, our usual list of real estate sales has failed to arrive from the Santa Ana abstract compay. It goes over until next week. Washouts occurred on the Sanat Fe line at Oceanside yesterday, so that the northbound passenger trains could not come. The noon mail arrived last evening. The southbound train having exchanged mail and passengers with the delayed train at the washout and returned to Los Angeles. Rain began falling on Monday morning and continued without cessation during the day, the Joint Out-Fall Sewer Board Continued from Page 1 sewer system and taking it out of the hands of the various city councils. Since the outfall could serve the entire district, and since the state department has already made it clear that a permit for another outfall into the ocean would probably not be granted, Anaheim, Fullerton and Orange members of the board believe the other communities should be given an opportunity to develop by allowing them to become a part of the sanitation district. Santa Ana objects to giving the other communities this opportunity. In this connection Bernard Edwards of Midway city appeared at the meeting last Thursday night and made an appeal on behalf of his community that they be allowed to connect with the outfall sewer. Edwards stated that the sanitation condition there was extremely bad since the water level during the rainy season rises to such an extent that the cess pools will not handle the sewage disposal. He stated that 138 homes in Midway City were badly in need of the service and that their growing community was badly handicapped without adequate sewage disposal facilities. Several other nearby communities are similarly effected, he said. The state department has called attention to a similar need at Huntington Beach where the sewage effluent is being disposed of through an irrigation company ditch, a condition that will eventually have to be remedied. State engineers recommend that Huntington Beach also be taken into the joint out-fall system. Santa Ana is also against allowing Huntington Beach or any other com- Young GOP's Meet Tuesday At Santa Ana President Harold Kohl south county's Young Released today that hisization expects to continue of affairs political eventhe Bourbons won the local election, and announced ing for January 16 at 8 p.m.home of Mrs. Leila Eastim East Palmyra St., Orange He said that O.

Rain began falling on Monday morning and continued without cessation during the day, the downpour in the waning hours of the afternoon being the heaviest of the season. Tuesday evening 1.67 inches had fallen. A great volume-of water ran under the Olin bridge Tuesday night and the embankment threatened. The Santa Fe track between this point and Riverside was washed away in places, and it was necessary to send two construction trains to repair of tracks, each working at either end of the washouts and coming together by opposite routes around the kite shaped track. The Riverside train due here at 9:24 did not arrive until the afternoon. The rain continued until yesterday, and last evening the precipitation amounted to 2.24 inches, total for the storm 2.01 inches, for the season, 9.07 inches, last year to date 5.68.

UP Spends Huge Sum for New Cars, Engines in 1944 The Union Pacific Railroad spends $101,350,000 for equipment and materials during 1944, President W.M.Jeffers announced in a year-end report released this week by W.H.Guild, executive assistant to the president. The expenditure, a substantial contribution to the nation's economic picture, included $10,000,000 for 35 new steam freight and passenger locomotives. Materials and supplies for maintenance of equipment and property came to $87,-000,000. One thousand new refrigerator cars cost more than $5,000,000 and 13 new Diesel switch engines set the Union Pacific back $1,000,-000.

WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS The fourteen days between the end of the 78th Session and the start of the 79th have been busy ones in the 22nd Congressional District Office. I have moved to what is called the "New Building," for the same reason, I suppose that the Willard Hotel, built probably around 1901, is still called the "New Willard." The changes in Congress vacated new building offices and I have by now acquired sufficient "seniority" to get one. The new office is 1317 House Office Building. I confess the decision to move was made reluctantly. I liked the old office. It had warmth; color; high ceilings; carpets; easy accesses. Now that I'm moved, I'm glad. The new office is more modern; it has built-in cases and shelves, and more room in them; it has storage space separate from the office, besides bulk storage upstairs; it has a private wash room for the Congressman. Best of all I was able to get on the same floor and the same end of the building as the Committee on Agriculture meeting room. That will save time. We are settled now and better organized for work. As if that wasn't enough, I have a new secretary. Mrs. Lang staff, whom I persuaded about a year ago to work for me, felt for personal reasons she would have to leave. The new "First Secretary," as we say, is Miss Therese Pierson, experienced and capable who started her secretarial work "on the Hill" sixteen years ago in the office of Congressman Julius Kahn of San Francisco. I tell her "She came with the new office." And that isn't all! We couldn't find a place to live. With Mrs. Phillips and Midge here, we had to have a two bedroom house or apartment, and if you've seen the movies about people trying to find places to live in Washington, that's the way it is. I contend this is proof of what I've been saying for more than a year; that the public statements of the bureaus, that they've "reduced their employees" don't mean a thing. The employees have simply gone to other bureaus and stayed in Washington. We solved that one by the simple, and the only safe method of taking over the house and the furniture of Congressman Poulson of the 13th District (Los Angeles) who was not re-elected. We were moving and getting settled in Alexandria during this same busy two weeks. We are settled, and much more comfortable, and we all feel better away from the city. At least three other members of the California delegation are living in the same section. I'll tell you a joke: the section in which we live is a new part of Alexandria, and our "subdivision" (to use a California term) is called "Beverly Hills." That's the current news from Washington. I rise to remark that it adds up for me to a promise of a better 79th Session. The new Congress was sworn in on the 3rd and is busy organizing itself.

One of the most noteworthy speakers of the series will be Dr. H. H. Chang, diplomat, college president and interpreter of world affairs who will speak tonight on "China's Part in the War." Dr. Chang has recently arrived in this country from Chungking. He is author of the popular book, "Chiang Kai-Shek, Asia's Man of Destiny." Formerly he was minister to Poland, Czechoslovakia and Portugal. Having spent three years in the making of the film, "Alaska Front door to Japan" George Elwyn, Alaska newspaperman, cameraman and lecturer, will show the picture to the group on January 18. On January 25 Lal Chand Mehra, Hindu scholar and lecturer will speak on "India and the Battle of Asia." The speaker was born in India but educated at the University of California. He is well acquainted with the social, cultural and political aspects of India and has been lecturing on his mother-country for the past 20 years. "We Are We Going to Do With Japan" will be the subject of an address by Younghill Kang, Korean lecturer, on February 1. He is a professor in the Department of English at the New York university and a member of the Far Eastern Staff of the Metropolitan museum of art. The Gazette wants your personal news items.

ARMY COLD STORAGE SAVES PERISHABLES Throughout liberated France, quartermaster soldiers operate cold storage plants where perishable foods are stored prior to delivery to field troops. It was stated today by the Ninth Service Command Quartermaster office. "We'D RATHER SAY YES" We don't like to tell people that they'll have to wait to get a home telephone. We'd much rather say "yes" to requests for service, as we did before our reserve facilities were exhausted. they’ll have to wait to get a home telephone. We’d much rather say “yes” to requests for service, as we did before our reserve facilities were exhausted. But the needs of war have first claim on available telephone equipment and on telephone manufacturing facilities and manpower. Delays in filling civilian orders just can’t be helped.
