Gazette Reporter Looks at Anaheim In Retrospect; a Decade Passes (NOTE—Helen Grafton Hineman, who recently returned to The Gazette as society and news reporter, after being out of the newspaper business for about ten years, has written her impressions in a “then and now” story that should be of interest to many Anaheimers. The story follows.) (By Helen Grafton Hineman) Ten years have passed since I last wrote for a newspaper in Anaheim and things are different now...very different. Oh, the outward appearance of the town is pretty much the same, war priorities have seen to that. The streets are still wide and clean and the lamp posts are ornamental and everyone is still talking about the downtown parking situation. Back in those depression years there were a lot of empty store buildings and houses and now, of course, there isn’t an inch of empty space in town. The greatest physical change is in the north end of the city where new La Palma Park has created a beautiful entrance way and the old eye-sore Mexican settlement is gone, wiped out by the flood of '38. There are other things that have not changed either, like the men and women who are still giving of their best to the community. Ten years ago, or 3,650 days ago, they were working just as hard in civic enterprises as they are today. Take Mayor Charles Pearson, Oscar Heying, Leo Sheridan, "Tex" Middleton, Harry Arthur, Sr., H. E. W. Barnes, Mel Gauer and Bill Wallon. A lot of others Clifford Horton, George Bent and Alfred Mills or are in National guard no longer holds drills on Monday night cause it is the real thing no Company K is on active duty Philippine Islands. Anaheim dents talk with ease about places as Dunkirk, Guadalupe Tarawa and Iwo Jima; names were unpronounceable 10 years. News sources are different far different from a decade Now we look to the Red Cross Selective Service board and stationing board for news items church notes have to do prayers or memorial service the “boys over there” and little personal items have to do “Pvt. John Doe has just re- from overseas duty, or is a go overseas or has disting himself in action against them.” Now when a wedding s written up there is almost ways a rank or a rating before bridegroom’s name and then says that the “new home temporarily established” Camp Pendleton or Camp or at some point in the far in the deep south. The want ad pages no carry a “House for rent” but instead there are long the “Wanted to Rent” colum read, “Service man just r from overseas wants his apartment for himself and jily.” There are many new The Anaheim Gazette wants all the local NEWS PLEASE phone, bring or send local, personal, or social items.

We miss the sparkle of Mrs. Horace Benjamin who has long since moved away and we miss the late Miss Eleanor Parker who could tell so many little, interesting stories of early days in Anaheim. We miss kindly, gruff "Hardware" White and big, jovial George Reid who was secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in those days. Most of all, perhaps, we miss the quiet kindliness and good humor of J. A. Clayes who was principal of the Anaheim Union High school for so many years. We miss seeing a lot of other familiar faces, too; men who are now wearing Navy blue or Army khaki like Lt. Comdr. (Dr.) John Woods, Lt. Warren Schutz, Lt. (Coach) Dick Glover and Colonel Raymond Smith. The kids who were playing baseball on the vacant lot, like Art Shipkey's boys and Bob Barnes, Bob Fischle and "Bud" There are other things that have not changed either, like the men and women who are still giving of their best to the community. Ten years ago, or 3,650 days ago, they were working just as hard in civic enterprises as they are today. Take Mayor Charles Pearson, Oscar Heying, Leo Sheridan, "Tex" Middleton, Harry Arthur, Sr., H. E. W. Barnes, Mel Gauer and Bill Wallop. A lot of others could be named, too if space permitted, the citizens who are the bulwark of any town. Or look at some of the women. Mrs. Leo Frils and Mrs. R. W. Marvin are still working hard in the Parent Teacher's association and Miss E. Kate Rea has her fingers in many a "worthwhile pie" as does Mrs. Eva Boyd, Mrs. H. D. Newkirk, Mrs. Faye Kern Schulz and Mrs. Mary Goble. Years have advanced the ages of many of the "old time guard" and while they have "semi-retired" from active participation in many of the civic affairs their advice is still eagerly sought. There is Henry Adams, F. A. Yungbluth, Frank N. Gibbs, W. D. Grafton, Charles Mann, Fred A. Backs and many others of their kind. New ones have stepped in to fill the ranks however—the young men and women who have grown up to become the new generation of responsible citizens like Ewald Lemcke, Earle Jackson, State Senator Thomas Kuchel, John Maloney, Mrs. Charles Pearson, Mrs. Ray Ringwald and Mrs. Cortez Hoskins.

Books at Anaheim Drive Passes Afford Horton, George Hunter and Alfred Mills or are in hospital recovering from wounds like the manion and Victor Schmelzer. Anaheim's Company K of the national guard no longer holds practice drills on Monday nights because it is the real thing now and company K is on active duty in the Philippine Islands. Anaheim residents talk with ease about such races as Dunkirk, Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Iwo Jima; names that are unpronounceable 10 years ago. News sources are different too—for different from a decade ago. Now we look to the Red Cross, the selective Service board and the raining board for news items. The church notes have to do with layers or memorial services for the "boys over there" and the little personal items have to do with John Doe has just returned from overseas duty, or is about to overseas or has distinguished himself in action against the enemy." Now when a wedding story is written up there is almost always a rank or a rating before the weddinggroom's name and the story says that the "new home will be temporarily established" near Camp Pendleton or Camp Parks at some point in the far east or the deep south. The want ad pages no longer carry a "House for rent" column, but instead there are long lists in the "Wanted to Rent" column that lead, "Service man just returned from overseas wants house or apartment for himself and family."

A fifty cent fee will be charged for the license plates and the bill further provides that a serial number must be stamped on each bicycle frame. After 1945 the license period will be from Jan. 1 to December 31 and licenses must be secured by Feb. 1. The law was passed following recommendations by the police department. Bids were received on the sale of three vehicles in the city automotive fleet and were awarded to Wilmsen and Elliott and Dr. W. H. Kersten. A 1928 Graham was sold for $300 (under ceiling price), to Wilmsen and Elliott who also purchased the 1929 International truck for $311.93 which was the ceiling price. The bid on the 1931 Model A Ford resulted in a tie that was broken when Ross Lee Laird, retiring secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, drew numbers from a hat. Dr. E. H. Kersten was the lucky winner and purchased the car for $276.24. M. E. Beebe, local insurance agent, was awarded the bid on public liability and property damage on the cities automotive equipment. The bid went for $496.10. For the past two years the city has been leasing land from the Community Industrial Land Company for experimental purposes and the council has now decided to The want ad pages no longer carry a "House for rent" column, but instead there are long lists in the "Wanted to Rent" column that lead, "Service man just returned from overseas wants house or apartment for himself and family." There are many new organizations in town, too, like the Navy Bothers' club and the American region has a whole new group of members, World War II veterans. Anaheimers have forgotten about the town's young communist who was so pronounced in his utterances and they have forgotten how the library was being mainly criticized because there were several books on the shelves that had a "red" tinge. Ten years ago most people were believing that Hitler would keep his promises and after dinner speakers at the banquets were talking about Japan the Yellow Menace," though they couldn't get anyone very excited about it. Store windows no longer display electric refrigerators, washing machines and stoves or those anticing little placards, "a dollar down, a dollar a week" and the heaters don't advertise "Bank fight" or "Chinaware Night" to draw patronage. Ten years ago the National Red Cross drive was on and Anaheim's quota was $500, now is it $28,-100! Ten years ago spinach sold for penny a bunch and now it is two bunches for 13 cents and celery is 35 cents a bunch and ripe bananas are almost unheard of while a sirloin steak is spoken of in hushed and reverent tones. But most of all, today when I walk through the town, there is no longer any chance of unexpectedly meeting that "someone special." He's wearing Navy blue, too.

Working in conjunction with Clearing Stations, the 10th Field Hospital was called upon to move as often as three times weekly, in order to keep up with the combat troops. WOUNDED IN ACTION Pvt. Arthur E. Monteverde, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bartolo Monteverde of 328 South Rose street, is listed this week on the casualty list as having been wounded in action on the European front. He entered the service May 6, 1944. A fish very seldom gets in trouble as long as he keeps his mouth shut. A lot of us would never be in trouble if we would only keep our mouths shut.—Henry L. Dillingham in the Platte City (Mo.) Landmark. Farmers Asked To Write for Copy of Guayule Program To give the farmer an opportunity to experiment with the growing of Guayule rubber, NR-2347 was introduced in Congress on February 26, which would give the farmer 28 cents a pound for crude guayule rubber, limiting his area to not over 40 acres per year, until 1956. This resulted from the Poage-Phillips Congressional report recommending that the Government continue the research and experimentation but to get out of the actual growing and milling of guayule rubber, turning the 30,000 acres now growing in California over to private enterprises. Not to destroy any of the 30,000 acres but to give the farmer an opportunity to experiment with the growing of it. It is suggested you write your Congressman for a copy of this bill, and a copy of this report, which is Union Calendar No. 709, Report No. 2098. Study of Rubber in the U.S., Mexico, Haiti. Urge your Congressman to support this bill, otherwise the 30,000 acres may be destroyed, and research work discontinued. —Fred. S. McCarger YOU NEED HIM! HE NEEDS YOU!
