MEMORABILIA Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange Co. — S.C.N.P.A. HENEY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers 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! AMERICA “INVADED” By ship and by plane America’s sons who left home to take care of some “unfinished business” with a certain Herr Hitler are pouring back into the United States in a huge friendly “invasion.” Undoubtedly most of them had never been overseas before. Now they have seen how the “other half” of the world lives. And now they appreciate their own country more than ever before. These boys know that in addition to their own hard fighting, one of the big reasons why they have returned this soon is that they had a big nation behind them. NEWSPAPER STRIKE The New York strike which prevented distribution of newspapers has underscored the importance of the newspaper in American life. The fact that thousands of persons daily lined up at the publishing offices to buy papers shows that public interest in newspapers, or rather, in the news and articles they disseminate, is just as keen as ever. Some years ago when radio was first coming to the fore there were predictions and fears that in a short time the radio would displace the daily and weekly press as the principal means of providing news for the public. Radio has grown and flourished. Undoubtedly most of them had never been overseas before. Now they have seen how the "other half" of the world lives. And now they appreciate their own country more than ever before. These boys know that in addition to their own hard fighting, one of the big reasons why they have returned this soon is that they had a big nation behind them—big not only in square miles and population, but big in its way of doing things. They know that when the crisis was upon us, when we were called upon to become not only the arsenal of democracy but the breadbasket and the principal source of finance as well, it was the bigness of America, expressed in mass production and mass distribution that enabled us to meet the challenge. Yet, the magnificent record of the home front was not solely the work of giants. It was also the work of the small manufacturers who supplied parts for the assembly lines; of the farmers with but a few acres and a few head of livestock—all had an important part in the nation's performance. And it is this economic organization which Americans have built up that will help speed the day when their Pacific job will be done and our boys will stage another friendly invasion of home soil—this time to stay. Use Citrus in Drilling Oil Work Few weeks ago your report scribed some of the interesting gadgets developed in the Ex Research Department labor at Ontario and Corona, Calgary. It's time he reported on the work of this department, just as interesting, and much important to citrus growers. One of the principal jobs of scientists who make up the staff, is to develop new citrus products. Newest is pectate pulp has a very rare and valuable effect. It refuses to attach things! Synthetic rubber is sticky wrapping it at the tire factory terrible job—unless the paper is sprayed with a solvent pectate pulp. Then it peels ripe. Sometimes an oil well drills sands of feet under ground, a dry and "thirsty" rock that won't allow it to turn. Pumped down the hole loses its tune; the drill won't bud when pectate pulp is added mud, it holds its moisture, drill goes to work again. Pulp provides just the right tension—from oranges and lemons. Another main job of the ment is to discover new existing citrus products.ample: the chief use for peel jam and jelly manufacture today the Research Department working with the medical science on an entirely new type in the treatment of intestine cases such as dysentery! Results are highly encouraged if the new treatments standard, a brand-new method will have been found science. A third important job of partment is to increase demand Exchange citrus products stantly making them better was the problem; for instance getting canned juices to keep natural cloudiness—a very feature, especially in juices made bottled drinks. From the juice refused to stay clean manently after being passed. In a remarkable piece one of the scientists at the laboratory discovered a Reddy Kilowatt is an expert garment cutter, too! "In the apparel industry, purchased electric power costs less than one-half cent out of every dollar of product value!" Reddy Kilowatt, the same electrical servant who helps in your household tasks, also serves California's apparel industry in many ways. Reddy cuts production costs and saves valuable man-hours by powering modern electric cutters, sewing machines and other equipment. Central station generated electricity, as represented by Reddy Kilowatt, is the most economical and dependable power known to industry. Edison Industrial Engineers are at the service of any industrial plant, large or small, in Edison territory. Their job is to help develop new ways of using purchased power as a means of increasing output and lowering production costs. *National average, derived from analysis of U.S. Census of Manufactures: 1939 figures.* ANAHEIM GAZETTE PHILIPPINE REST CAMP Life Gay Van Berckelaer, graduate of the Anaheim Union High School in the class of '43, where was a basketball and football team, has been enjoying a rest at camp in the Philippines following battle action.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 50 Years Ago JULY 25, 1895 A very interesting article on Anaheim and vicinity written by Mr. C. S. Nichols, appeared in the Los Angeles Herald Sunday. From it we quote the following paragraphs: From a California standpoint, Anaheim is a very old place, having been laid out in 1857 by a colony of fifty families who engaged at once in vine growing with some citrus and deciduous fruits. Grains also made handsome returns and there is a saying that "everything grows in Anaheim." As an experiment the culture of beets was tried and in this year (1895) 32,000 tons of beets averaging 16 per cent of saccharine and netting the growers $4.50 per ton will be produced. The population is now quoted at 3000. Two large schools have eight teachers and 775 pupils. Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Methodists, Evangelical Lutheran, Catholic and Christian denominations all have places of worship. The Southern Pacific has been granted a franchise through the city which will make a new artery of the system extending east to Puente, Chino and Ontario. The news of this section is fully set forth each week in the Gazette, one of the best weekly newspapers on the coast, owned and edited by Henry Kuchel. The Gazette is the oldest paper in Southern California, having been first issued in 1870, appearing each week since, with the loss of but one issue in that time, caused by fire which swept the building. Among other business enterprises: 25 Years Ago July 22, 1920 Breaking open a receptacle enclosed in the cornerstone of Central school building which has just been dismantled, recalls to the memory of a few old-timers a chapter of Anaheim history written forty-two years ago. There are persons still living in this city who were here on the 19th day of August, 1878, and witnessed the ceremonies when that cornerstone was laid. A full corps of teachers and the entire roll of pupils participated in the ceremonies and every one of the town's three hundred inhabitants were present. The faculty of the school at that time consisted of J. M. Guihn, Miss Ada des Granges, and Mrs. L. U. Evans, and there were in the neighborhood of one hundred pupils enrolled. The stone was laid according to the ritualistic ceremonies of the Masonic lodge. The list of articles in the box included a list of officers of Grand Lodge, F. and A. M., for 1878, list of trustees of Anaheim Water company, list of children attending public school of Anaheim, city ordinances and charter of Anaheim, copy of deeds of Los Angeles Vineyard society, business directory of Anaheim, list of members of Anaheim cornet band, Anaheim Gazette of August 17 and Anaheim Gazette extra of August 19, 1878, square and compass and a number of other articles, coins, etc. The school trustees were Theodore Rimpau, Henry Kroeger and F. W. Athearn. The city trustees were Theodore Reiser, A. Langen- secretary of the Chamber mercy and will arrive first of August. Mr. Frad had many years of experience this line of work, having as secretary of the chair Tucson and Prescott, Paso, Tex. He was also secretary to Gov. Cameron Arizona.

Paul Nicolas was in ten days ago from his home Use Citrus in Drilling Oil Wells? New weeks ago your reporter described some of the interesting gadgets developed in the Exchange Research Department laboratories in Ontario and Corona, California. It's time he reported on the main work of this department, which is just as interesting, and much more important to citrus growers. One of the principal jobs of the 14 scientists who make up the research staff, is to develop new citrus products. Newest is pectate pulp, which has a very rare and valuable characteristic. It refuses to stick to things! Synthetic rubber is sticky. Unwrapping it at the tire factories is a terrible job—unless the wrapping paper is sprayed with a solution of pectate pulp. Then it peels right off. Sometimes an oil well drill, thousands of feet under ground, gets into dry and "thirsty" rock stratum that would allow it to turn. The mud pumped down the hole loses its moisture; the drill won't budge. But then pectate pulp is added to the sand, it holds its moisture, and the drill goes to work again. Pectate pulp provides just the right lubrication—from oranges and lemons! Another main job of the department is to discover new uses for existing citrus products. For example: the chief use for pectin is in jam and jelly manufacturing; but today the Research Department is working with the medical profession on an entirely new type of use, in the treatment of intestinal diseases such as dysentery! Results are highly encouraging. Of the new treatments become standard, a brand-new market for pectin will have been found through science. A third important job of this department is to increase demand for Exchange citrus products by constantly making them better. There was the problem, for instance, of getting canned juices to keep their natural cloudiness—a very desirable feature, especially in juices used to make bottled drinks. Trouble was, the juice refused to stay cloudy permanently after being pasteurized. In a remarkable piece of work, one of the scientists at the Ontario laboratory discovered a time-tem- through the city which will make a new artery of the system extending east to Puente, Chino and Ontario. The news of this section is fully set forth each week in the Gazette, one of the best weekly newspapers on the coast, owned and edited by Henry Kuchel. The Gazette is the oldest paper in Southern California, having been first issued in 1870, appearing each week since, with the loss of but one issue in that time, caused by fire which swept the building. Among other business enterprises we note the Anaheim brewery, built in 1890 and owned by F. Conrad, making eighty barrels of pure beer a day. The Citizens bank, H. Cahen, president; L. Goldwater, cashier; capital stock, $100,000. Fred Maurer, for seven years has been engaged in the liquor business near the S. P. depot. J. W. Landell, justice of the peace, is an old-timer. W. M. Higgins, for 26 years a druggist, is an encyclopedia of California events. L. G. Maxwell has lately bought the Commercial hotel which is being entirely refitted. Originally beginning with but a few score of people and irrigating a few hundred acres of land the territory now irrigated by the ditches of the Anaheim Union Water company cover 8000 acres and sustain a population of 4000 people. The source of supply is primarily the Santa Ana river at Bed Rock canyon, near Rincon where the company is entitled to one-half of the entire flow of the stream, less a small apportionment to the Yorba company. The officials of the company are as follows: E. R. Amerige, president; F. G. Ryan, vice president; W. H. Blennerhassett, secretary; L. Goldwater, treasurer; directors, E. R. Amerige, W. F. Botsford, William Crowther, W. M. McFadden, Max Nebelung, F. G. Ryan, C. Spencer. Mrs. Clara B. Garrison was in the city from her home in Placentia a few days ago, having come in to recover her prayer book which had been lost and found and returned to this office. Mrs. Garrison is quite a talented lady, and has written for a number of the leading magazines. Mr. Stadtegger was in from Yorba on Tuesday en route to the Fond walnut grove at Santa Ana to investigate the nature of the disease now affecting the trees. He reports the walnuts at Yorba large and fine and of extra quality. Lloyd Bailey left on Saturday ing public school of Anaheim, city ordinances and charter of Anaheim, copy of deeds of Los Angeles Vineyard society, business directory of Anaheim, list of members of Anaheim cornet band, Anaheim Gazette of August 17 and Anaheim Gazette extra of August 19, 1878, square and compass and a number of other articles, coins, etc. The school trustees were Theodore Rimpau, Henry Kroeger and F. W. Athearn. The city trustees were Theodore Reiser, A. Langenburger, L. W. Kirby, J. H. Yo cum and Tim Boege. Mr. Reiser was chairman of the board and Alex Bailey, city clerk. Richard Melrose was editor of the Gazette at the time, and on this gala day he issued an extra “for the enlightenment of the strangers within our gates.” It gives a detailed description of the building which was built by a Los Angeles firm, the contract price being $9100, paid for out of a $10,000 bond issue, payable in 15 years. The ground on which the building was erected cost $1500, and was paid for by an increased tax levy. The box is now in custody of William Chambers, president of the school board. Malcolm Fraser of Texas has been selected for the position of Summer This summer clearance includes dresses, face, every item in our Women's Department to purchase clean, reasonably-priced men's dress and suit on sale is a new sprout and out-dated. Nationally known quality. A third important job of this department is to increase demand for Exchange citrus products by constantly making them better. There was the problem; for instance, of getting canned juices to keep their natural cloudiness—a very desirable feature, especially in juices used to make bottled drinks. Trouble was, the juice refused to stay cloudy permanently after being pasteurized. In a remarkable piece of work, one of the scientists at the Ontario laboratory discovered a time-temperature formula that made the juice keep its natural cloud indefinitely. Not only that, he worked out a way to peer into the future and make sure of this! Give the lab men a sample of newly canned juice or concentrate, and in three days they can now show you exactly what it will look like after two years in cold storage. This kind of practical research has made Exchange citrus products the quality leaders in their field. The Research Department has other important jobs. But maybe these examples show what a valuable part these scientists play in the Exchange operation. They are pioneers, constantly seeking new ways to increase the Exchange grower's return. And they get results. There's no comparable group in any other California citrus marketing organization. Their work is made possible only through the Exchange, in which 14,500 growers work together. Next report: in this paper two weeks from today. Martha Trabbert Becomes Citizen Of United States Martha Liesette Trabert of 205½ North Helena street, became a citizen of the United States on July 11 when she swore her allegiance to this country in superior court at Santa Ana. She was one of 27 men and women to be naturalized. The class was greeted informally by Judge Kenneth E. Morrison as it filed into court and the oath was administered by Court Clerk E. R. Kolbe. Uniformed members of the Santa Ana American Legion posted the colors and Rev. W. J. Hatter, bailiff of the court, offered prayer and congratulations to the candidates. Daughters of the American Revolution presented each with a small American flag and the Elks lodge members offered them pointers on flag etiquette. secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and will arrive here the first of August. Mr. Fraser has had many years of experience in this line of work, having served as secretary of the chambers of Tucson and Prescott, Ariz., El Paso, Tex. He was also private secretary to Gov. Campbell of Arizona. He was recommended by Frank Wiggins, secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Adolph Thomas, president of the Golden State bank, who has been off on a couple of weeks' vacation, is once more on duty, Cashen Smith having held down the president's chair during his absence. Wilson and Bever, Anaheim contractors, were awarded the contract for the $30,000 Katella school building. The building will provide four classrooms, two of which can be thrown together for an auditorium facing a stage. Mrs. G. R. Messias and daughter, Priscilla, who have been visiting in England for several months past are expected home Saturday. When A. S. Bradford awoke from a night of peaceful slumber in a Pullman between Placentia and Imperial some days ago, he discovered that during the night a thief had carried off his pants, together with $29 in money and a pocket full of important papers. The window screen had been cut, but, it is believed, the robbery was an inside job. Fortunately Mr. Bradford carried an extra pair of pants with him. Paul Nicolas was in town a few days ago from his home in Ful- TWIN DAUGHTERS BORN Twin daughters were born recently to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Wyatt of Corcoran, Cal., formerly of Anaheim.
