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) I never notice such things but it seems that there is a big epidemic of bow-legged women in this section of the country. Hollywood claims to have the most girls with perfectly shaped legs, but I seldom get to Hollywood and when floods you can't help but shudder for those who live and suffer in that part of the country, year after year. It is an inspiring sight to stand on Lookout mountain at Chattanooga and gaze over the expanse of five states which corner there. There is river romance at St. Louis, Louisville, Padukah, and at Cairo where the floods of the mighty Mississippi and the Ohio converge to carry destruction down through a great stretch of country and finally to disgorge millions of tons of water and top soil into the Gulf of Mexico. But there is no thing that can cause a realization of how weak and infinitesimal man really is like "Old Man River" on a rampage. Feeble efforts have been made and many millions of dollars I never notice such things but it seems that there is a big epidemic of bow-legged women in this section of the country. Hollywood claims to have the most girls with perfectly shaped legs, but I seldom get to Hollywood and when I do I'm too busy dodging traffic to watch for girls with pretty legs. If you're an observer along these lines perhaps you have noticed that most girls with pretty "figures" do not always have pretty faces. They also say there is a big rivalry for popularity in Hollywood between the "leg" girls and the "sweater" girls. Enough money is spent on these attributes, including the hiring of photographers and press agents, to finance a good-sized war, which is what the rivalry amounts to when gals set out to prove that they have more "it" than anybody else. And still America in all its greatness is engaged in an all-out war, foregoing the frivolous things in order that an early victory may come and a just and lasting peace be established in the world. A soldier just back from many months overseas duty, sent home to recuperate, told me he wishes now he had never come home until the war is over. He said the only thing he hasn't lost faith in is his own mother and father. "We have to hold onto something," he said, "and that seems to be about all that is left." He said the thing that burns up the fighting soldier most when he returns is the way the people at home are coddling the Japs and the Germans. "They are all our enemies, soldiers and civilians alike, from six years old up, men, women, and children, they all kill us whenever they get a chance," he said, "while here at home we find organized groups doing everything they can to coddle and protect the enemies we are fighting," he continued. "After you see your own buddies snipped off by small boys, trained to kill any American, or by women and girls in the captured territory, then you don't hesitate to unload bombs anywhere," was the way this soldier summed it up. "If some of these coddlers could go through some of the hell we've been through they might quit squawking because they can't still buy six bunches of vegetables for a nickle," he said. We destroyed the Jap fleet again this week, making several times that we have reduced the Japanese to a fifth or sixth class naval power. But after each "destroying" of the Jap fleet it develops that it is still pretty potent. We practically knock them out of the air time after time, but it is admitted the Japs are building airplanes at least as fast as we are destroying them. We have told the Japs that the "war of attrition may be changed to a total war if they won't capitulate," which the Japs have no intention of doing. It is estimated that it will take at least from two to four years to completely subdue the Japanese people, which is the only thing that will knock them out of the war. That means it will be necessary to practically kill the entire population which will be quite a chore. There are 90 million of them scattered all over the western Pacific islands and the Chinese mainland from Shanghai to the Russian border and south to Singapore. The Japs are taking the children out of school to put them to work in the factories and train them as snipers to kill American invading soldiers. If Britain and Russia finally join with us in the war against the Japs they might be whipped in two or four years but if we have to fight them alone it may take many years to finish the war. In any case it corner there. There is river romance at St. Louis, Louisville, Padukah, and at Cairo where the floods of the mighty Mississippi and the Ohio converge to carry destruction down through a great stretch of country and finally to disgorge millions of tons of water and top soil into the Gulf of Mexico. But there is no thing that can cause a realization of how weak and infinitesimal man really is like "Old Man River" on a rampage. Feeble efforts have been made and many millions of dollars have been spent to control the floods, with little results. But the floods could be controlled. If we tackled the flood problem, as a constructive project, as we tackle fighting a war, for purely destructive purposes, the rivers would be controlled and the cost would be saved many times over in course of time, whereas the cost of war is never recovered—and the dead never come back to life. You can't say we are not as dumb as we act—because our actions prove it beyond a doubt. But then we operate for the sake of selfish politics—and not for the sake of our people and our country. Traffic at the corner on and Center streets was added for an hour Saturday by the large crowd of people gathered there to see that of spring and summer lace and millinery which was exhibited by living mall ladies gathered to see them and the men to see the spectators hope they store will make a feature show and give it often.

"After you see your own buddies snipped off by small boys, trained to kill any American, or by women and girls in the captured territory, then you don't hesitate to unload bombs anywhere," was the way this soldier summed it up. "If some of these coddlers could go through some of the hell we've been through they might quit squawking because they can't still buy six bunches of vegetables for a nickle," he said. "They're killing our faith in our own people," was his parting remark. I don't know this soldier's name or where his home is, but he was talking straight at Orange county, which, of all places, is pretty deep in the coddling mire. Social science experts have decided that the reason so many mother-in-laws cause trouble between their married daughters and their husbands is on account of an inborn or natural sort of jealousy over their sons-in-law. They claim that less trouble is caused by mothers of sons than by mothers of daughters when the children marry. Among some semi-savage tribes the son-in-law is never allowed to see his wife's mother after the marriage on account of this same theory of mother-in-law jealousy. I wouldn't know about those things but if social science has started out to try to understand women my advice would be to just let well enough alone. The flood season is on in the east and middle west again, not to mention the period of cyclones and hail storms which torment the residents of certain portions of the great plains country. Fortunate indeed are those who are lucky enough to live in Southern California where punishment from the elements is practically unknown! But if you've seen some of those Anaheim Red Cross War Fund Drive Nears $40,000 Mark While most of the workers have now turned in their folders contributions to the Red Cross War Fund drive are still being received at the local chapter headquarters on East Center street. Last week the goal of $28,500 was reached and by yesterday afternoon the contributions had swelled to almost $40,000, A. J. Schutte, chairman, revealed. Anaheims' share of contributions made at Army and Navy camps and in the nearby defense plants have not yet been turned in and when all donations are received it is anticipated that a $45,000 mark will have been reached. Last year the defense plant contributions amounted to more than $3,000. The drive will continue for the rest of the month and those who have not yet made their donations are urged to do so immediately. Everybody reads the Gazette. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter Century ago.

All the spectators hope the Prince store will make a feature of this 50 Years Ago March 28—1895 The weather was showery Tuesday night and yesterday morning. Not much rain fell up to 9 o'clock, but shortly thereafter the sky became overcast with clouds, and rain fell with few interruptions until noon, shortly after which it settled down to a continuous downpour, extending with short intermissions until evening and as we go to press the signs are good for more. Total precipitation for the storm, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge 1.14 inches; for the season 14.62. This is in all respects the most favorable year we ever had, and this rain is just what we needed. Superintendent Sheppard has a gang of men and teams at work on the main ditch above Yorba, and the cementing of 2000 feet of the ditch by Gray Bros. and Ward was to have begun yesterday. Extensive repairs are going on, and all those desirous of working at cleaning the ditch may receive a job by applying to Mr. Sheppard.

Sloop are announced as candidates for his seat. Mrs. Max Nebelung has been very ill for a week or two past. Last week her condition was so serious that the children were summoned to her bedside. Her many friends hope for her speedy recovery. The extension of Placentia avenue from the north side of the Ford place to the state highway near the County Hospital is to be put to grade within thirty or sixty days. County Engineer McBride expects to grade the road soon and cover it with clay. It is figured that in the sandy soil clay will make a much better top than gravel. Money for the work has been made available from funds within the control of supervisors S. H. Finley of Santa Ana and N. J. Edwards of Orange. Deeds for the road were recently accepted by the county. During the past few weeks many new producing oil wells have been added in the southern fields bringing the total number of wells up to 900. The early output of the field is at present 77,000 barrels. Southern California with 900 producing wells holds second place among oil fields of the state. The Midway-Sunset holding first, with its daily output of 87,000 barrels. The northern field, however, has to call on 2360 wells to produce the extra ten thousand barrels. Superintendent Sheppard has a gang of men and teams at work on the main ditch above Yorba, and the cementing of 2000 feet of the ditch by Gray Bros. and Ward was to have begun yesterday. Extensive repairs are going on, and all those desirous of working at cleaning the ditch may receive a job by applying to Mr. Sheppard. Tim Carroll lost a valuable horse last Saturday morning, and another on Sunday night, by their having been fed too much green fodder. Several others were badly off, and Dr. Garner was telephoned to at Santa Ana to come over and do what he could for them. The loss is a serious one, the animals having been among the best draft horses hereabout, and it will be difficult to replace them. Mrs. W. J. Smith went up to Los Angeles yesterday to meet her daughter, Miss Kate Fleming, the celebrated contralto, who comes from the East, partly to visit her relatives and friends after an absence of some years and partly to fill an engagement to sing at La Fiesta. Miss Fleming telegraphed her mother from a point in New Mexico, and was met in Los Angeles by that lady, and will return to the old homestead this morning. Charley Wommer's team took fright at a passing wagon while standing in front of the Boston Bakery last Thursday afternoon and bolted down the road. Turning into Center street they collided with and overturned a vehicle standing at the corner and continued on their course to Clementine street, where they turned and ran to the extension of Chartres street, through the Deutsch place. Here they turned and ran to St. Catherine's academy, going around the walk about the garden and out again and continued down Palm street until halted by Julius Schneider. Charley soon recovered the runaways and was shortly at work on the streets again as if nothing had happened. A meeting of those having in charge the preliminary steps for the formation of a Chamber of Commerce here was held at the Bank on Thursday afternoon when a committee consisting of Richard Melrose and M. L. Rogers was appointed to draft by laws to be submitted to the subscribers at a During the past few weeks many new producing oil wells have been added in the southern fields bringing the total number of wells up to 900.

The Midway-Sunset holding first, with its daily output of 87,000 barrels. The northern field, however, has to call on 2360 wells to produce the extra ten thousand barrels. Mr. Eltiste of Orange has invested $72,500 in a twenty-nine acre ranch on North Batavia, Orange, following the sale of a twenty-acre ranch southeast of Anaheim for $50,000, the deals being handled by Guy Richards of the Orange realty company. Kurt Epstein of the Falkenstein store, who has not fully recovered from the effects of a serious automobile accident in which he participated some weeks ago, is off duty at the present time recuperating. Stanley B. Moore has taken his place at the store until his return. County Superintendent Mitchell has appointed H. E. Carner of the Garden Grove road as member of the Anaheim high school board to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Herbert Clark. Mrs. Herman Conger and son of Gary, Ind., and Mrs. Faulkner of San Francisco are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Gamber on North Los Angeles street. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb and Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Bradford of Placentia spent several days the past week in Imperial Valley. At an entertainment given by A meeting of those having in charge the preliminary steps for the formation of a Chamber of Commerce here was held at the Bank on Thursday afternoon when a committee consisting of Richard Melrose and M. L. Rogers was appointed to draft by laws to be submitted to the subscribers at a meeting to be called to assemble at the City Hall as soon as a sufficient number of signatures may be secured to the list to justify the inauguration of the enterprise. Mr. Goldwater has been canvassing the city for signatures, Mr. Cargill will endeavor to get Los Angeles gentlemen owning property here to join and an invitation will be extended to Fullerton, Placentia, Orangethorpe and surrounding towns to join with us. The business men of the city have taken hold of the enterprise with a will and success seems assured. Let all business men in town put their names on the lists. Monday was the warmest day of the season, and the sprinkler had to be called out to sprinkle the streets. Jessor and Derge make a very pretty display of a nest of Easter eggs in their window. William Kroeger is acting temporarily in the capacity of Zanjero during the absence from duty of Zanjero Littlefield. A very pretty wedding occurred Sunday, March 24th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Rolfe at Garden Grove, the contracting parties being Oscar Warling of this city and Mrs. Ora Brenot of Garden Grove, daughter Blood Bank Here On Good Friday; 400 Pints Needed As Christ gave his blood for the world so can Anaheim residents give their blood for humanity on Good Friday, March-30 when the blood bank mobile unit of the American Red Cross will be at the Ebell' clubhouse. Four hundred pints of blood are needed and each pint given will help some generous and unselfish American soldier as he lies wounded on a battle front in the far Pacific, in Europe or in the Far East. Anaheim citizens are giving generously in the Red Cross War Fund Drive and as a result have far surpassed the goal but for the last two times the blood bank unit has been here its goal has not been met. It MUST be met this time, Edward Powers, chairman, stated this morning in saying that the demands for blood plasma are greater than ever before as the battlefields become redder and that the plasma now on hand is far below a safe margin. "If we had been at Iwo Jima or on the front in Germany and saw one of our soldiers lying wounded we would do anything in our power to help him," Power said, "and this is our opportunity to give the greatest thing of all." For the first time residents will have the opportunity of signing their names to tags that will be attached to the bottle containing their whole blood. The soldier receiving the life-giving donation will then know just who has been generous in his behalf as he has been generous in theirs. Appointments can be made by telephoning the local Red Cross headquarters, 2065 and those signing up are assured that the appointments will be promptly kept. It will not take more than 45 minutes of the individual's time. The blood bank will be open from 8:40 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. You like to see news items about your friends in the paper—and they like to see news items about you.
