Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXV A Legal Newspaper ANAHE COLONY QUIPS Anaheim seems by now to be back to normal and a spirit is abroad to get back into peacetime living. Many of us are having visions of a beautiful vista of post-war ease and prosperity. The cruel fact is that postwar ease will not bring postwar prosperity. The two will not go hand in hand. Reconversion does not mean that a host of large industrial plants will change over from making war to making prosperity. We are all part of the same order and we must all do our part. Every citizen of this community is at the same time a producer and a consumer. As such we are all interdependent and each must carry his proper portion of the common load. A higher standard of living for Anaheim is all bound up with foreign trade, taxes, em- Frank Kellogg would like to know what kind of fuel burns best in an outboard motor. We couldn't give him much information on that score but we do know that the fishing has been good in the southern offshore waters—maybe even off the coast of Mexico. Lee Hiserodt went up to the Kiwanis Lodge at Idyllwild for the Labor Day party and while there took time out to top some of the other stories about early day travel to mountain resorts. Lee claims it took him from Sunday morning until Thursday night to reach Big Bear Lake with continuous driving. Now we were not along on the trip but it just seems that Lee should explain some of the stops along the way. Boys and Leaders Attend Fern Lodge Hi-Y Conference The weekend conference of the Hi-Y clubs at Fern lodge in Santa Anita canyon had as guests 40 boys and leaders of clubs in Anaheim, Tustin, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Brea, Orange, and Laguna Beach, the group returning to their homes last Sunday. John Stone, Pacific southwest area YMCA program secretary, very clearly and concisely discussed the Hi-Y methods and programs for the school year. Assisting in the conference program were Secretaries Gerald Patton of Anaheim, Arch Riatt of Santa Ana, Walt Taylor of Fullerton, Kenneth Knight of Santa Ana and Orrin Bell of Orange. Boys from this community attending were John Salveson, Laurence Rains, Chuck Long, Delmer conversion does not mean that a host of large industrial plants will change over from making war to making prosperity. We are all part of the same order and we must all do our part. Every citizen of this community is at the same time a producer and a consumer. As such we are all interdependent and each must carry his proper portion of the common load. A higher standard of living for Anaheim is all bound up with foreign trade, taxes, employment and industrial knowhow. In other words, we must be as united in peace as we were for war. And that means a little less selfishness all around. Friday the local ration board will check out of here and be consolidated with the one at Santa Ana. The thanks of this community is due to the local men and women who, without pay, gave so lavishly of their time to a patriotic duty that was more often criticized than praised. Oscar Renner and August Schumacher are getting the SQR store ready for the time they can pile the nylons up and tell the ladies to come and get 'em. We don't know whether to call the color pink or flesh—but where the females are concerned a good bit of psychology is indicated. The local Izaak Walton fishing experts went surf fishing Monday night at Newport. We expect to hear a lot of bragging from them. Here, however, is the tipoff: they took plenty to eat along with them. H. A. "Red" Bevins has given his Pontiac garage a real face-lifting. We suppose he hopes to have some new automobiles on the floor in the near future. The way everything shines in there now the new Pontiac will just have to glisten to feel at home. With cigarettes now being put on sale in plain sight the man who has a new package can't claim to be too much of a "big shot." Some people are even becoming a bit "choosey" as to where they buy their "smokes." The ocean off Orange County Harbor (Newport to some) is now open to all comers. The Coast Guard has called off its dogs (in the shape of the Auxiliary) and the boys are now able to sail out to sea if the spirit moves them. The closing down of the Auxiliary has temporarily put Lee Hiserodt went up to the Kiwanis Lodge at Idyllwild for the Labor Day party and while there took time out to top some of the other stories about early day travel to mountain resorts. Lee claims it took him from Sunday morning until Thursday night to reach Big Bear Lake with continuous driving. Now we were not along on the trip but it just seems that Lee should explain some of the stops along the way so none of his friends will get the wrong impression of what he was doing. Our guess is that the stories were getting mighty big around the Kiwanis lodge porch on Labor Day and that Lee was right up among the leaders. Some weeks ago one of the best newspapermen ever 'to come to this county passed on to a better place—to a house not made with hands—eternal. Arthur W. McBride's earthly self simply returned to the dust from whence it came. The eternal part of him which can be expressed by the word integrity lives on and will always be a strong beacon light to those in search of the truth. We quote below an article by James Farquhar, editor of the Huntington Bach News, who knew Art Mr.Bride in their native Iowa: The real test of human life is character. A man may be rich or poor, handsome of homely, brilliant or plodding. But when his life span ends, thought probes deeper and sees a man as he really is. When La Habra Star editor, Ar(Continued, on Page 2) Judge Thompson Tells of Hobby at Kiwanis Meeting Regular meeting of the Kiwanis club on Tuesday brought Judge Raymond Thompson to Anaheim. He was introduced by chairman of the day Bill Webb and gave an interesting account of his hobby of collecting old automobiles. Judge Thompson belongs to the Horseless Carriage Club which consists of a group of men in southern California who enjoy tinkering with 1906 vintage automobiles. He told of driving his '06 Maxwell to Palm Springs while Jack Benny was broadcasting there. He would park the vehicle along the curb and mix in the crowd that invariably gathered and get the advantage of all the remarks made about Benny's ancient buggy. John Stone, Pacific southwest area YMCA program secretary, very clearly and concisely discussed the Hi-Y methods and programs for the school year. Assisting in the conference program were Secretaries Gerald Patton of Anaheim, Arch Riatt of Santa Ana, Walt Taylor of Fullerton, Kenneth Knight of Santa Ana and Orrin Bell of Orange. Boys from this community attending were John Salveson, Laurence Rains, Chuck Long, Delmer Rogers, Leo Oden, John Patton, Robin Welsh, and Dan Moore, all of Anaheim, also Arthur Fergus, Griff Lewis and Robert Rives of Garden Grove. Victory Chest Drive Is On; Workers Named They're off! Yes, the big Victory and Community Chest drive for Anaheim was officially launched Monday afternoon at a meeting at the chamber of commerce offices. Presided over by Mayor Charles A. Pearson, the theme" of "one drive, one collection" was stressed. Edward J. Power, campaign chairman, emphasized the fact that everyone in Anaheim is expected to do his full share in the putting over of this $33,097 goal. In addition to Mayor Pearson and Campaign Chairman Power, those present at Monday's meeting were: Secretary H. G. Schmelzer, Ray Reafsnyder, Frank N. Gibbs, M. A. Gauer, J. Ben Kaulbars, Charles Mann, Rev. James Gallagher, Rev. A. L. Horn, Charles Frank. Jerry Patton, Miss E. Kate Rea, L. E. Middleton, Mrs. William LeVecke, Mrs. P. E. Fluor, O. H. Renner, Mrs R. W. Martin, and C. J. Mauerhan and Joe Sowder. Ray Reafsnyder was named vice chairman of the chest, and C. J. Mauerhan, chairman for the rural areas. Starting Monday, Oct. 1, the following committees will be on the firing line until the goal is reached: Advanced gifts: Ross Laird, chairman; L. H. Loudon, Earle Jackson; H. G. Schmelzer; J. G. Hillleary; C. J. Mauerhan; A. J. Schutte; Frank N. Gibbs; O. E. Hanson; Wilson Phelps; Harry on sale in plain sight the man who has a new package can't claim to be too much of a "big shot." Some people are even becoming a bit "choosey" as to where they buy their "smokes." The ocean off Orange County Harbor (Newport to some) is now open to all comers. The Coast Guard has called off its dogs (in the shape of the Auxiliary) and the boys are now able to sail out to sea if the spirit moves them. The closing down of the Auxiliary has temporarily put quite a few local boys and girls out of an avocation. We notice that Jack Gledhill, Tim Wallace, Al Raymond, Bill Webb, Leavitt Ford, to mention only a few, (if we have missed you send your name in, together with the size of your pea jacket and maybe we can do some business) are now staying home at night and saving up their money for the football season. E. R. "Buss" McCoy has been throwing gallon after gallon of paint around his showroom and parts department and set the whole thing off with some tons of chromium. "Bus" probably thinks that Ford will send along a few bright shiny new cars in the near future. Al Raymond reports a new addition to the force of the Northern Orange County Credit Bureau. Mrs. Diana Mayer of 312 North Lemon street, is now on deck to tell Al what to do. City Clerk Charles Griffith claims that with the closing of the local OPA office his duties will be much simplified. From snap judgment recollections he believes his office has directed upward of 145,000 people to the ration board and explained to an additional 135,000 that the city clerk's office could not fill out OPA forms. Judge Thompson belongs to the Horseless Carriage Club which consists of a group of men in southern California who enjoy tinkering with 1906 vintage automobiles. He told of driving his '06 Maxwell to Palm Springs while Jack Benny was broadcasting there. He would park the vehicle along the curb and mix in the crowd that invariably gathered and get the advantage of all the remarks made about Benny's ancient buggy. He gave a history of Stanley Brothers and their steam car which they first built as a vehicle for their own use. Friends and neighbors liked the car so much that they induced the Stanley's to build some more and sell them. A New York promoter offered the Stanley's what they thought was a fantastic sum for their patents and they sold out only to buy the resulting company back a few years later at ten cents on the dollar. Judge Thompson did not recommend a steam car for everyone due to the problem of getting them started in the morning. President Paul Bakenhus reminded the club to get to the division meeting that night at Whittier on time. He also announced the findings of the nominating committee for officers of the club for 1946. Other nominations may be made from the floor on next Tuesday. The findings of the nominating committee follow: President: Bill Claussen; Vice-president, Ell Bradley; Directors, (Nine to be elected) Frank Kellogg, Norb Faessel, Bill Troutman, Clyde Nickle, Bill Phelps, Ben Kaulbars, Lloyd Ross, Gene Mahaffey, Paul Gilbert, Clarence Taylor, Max Henderson, Bob Marvin, Ted Payne, Joe Collings, Bob Ermisch. Paul Grand introduced Don G. White of the Union Oil company as a visitor. Ray Reafsnyder was named vice chairman of the chest, and C. J. Mauerhan, chairman for the rural areas.

Beautiful Blond Is Fined $25 For Raising Cain A good looking blonde girl from Santa Ana came to Anaheim Monday evening and literally raised Cain. According to police reports, her car and a motorcycle carrying three sailors collided at Manchester and Lincoln. When police arrived, the Santa Ananistian was said to have become obstreperous even to the point of striking an officer. Apparently she didn't harm the officer too much because she was charged only with disturbing the peace, fined $25 which she paid. Two of the sailors were taken to Los Alamitos hospital. A third sailor disappeared into the bush probably has not been seen since. Jesus F. Martinez and Lola J. Saratne both of Anaheim were ward reviving this big deal which has been kept under warden during the long war years. Chairman of this important committee is J. Ben Kaulbars. Phillip A.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, B 4, 1868 he came to Anaheim years later and resided at home northwest of Anaheim several years and later moved Seal Beach.

WORKERS VITALLY NEEDED NOW BY ANAHEIM RED CROSS CHAPTER Help is needed today and every day by Anaheim Red Cross, according to a statement made yesterday by Mrs. P. H. Nelson, chairman of the local chapter, 142 East Center. "Our force of volunteer workers has dropped off since V-J day, but unfortunately, our work is needed as much as ever," Mrs. Nelson continued. Especially needed now are volunteers for four-hour shifts at Santa Ana army redistribution center and knitters at the local office, the chairman emphasized. Thousands of boys are coming to Santa Ana but they aren't leaving as fast as they arrive, she said. Therefore, there are a thousand and one things the Red Cross is called on to do for these boys—and help is needed there at once. As for knitting, Mrs. Nelson pointed out, the needs are endless. For example, one hospital alone uses 10,000 knitted garments a month. All military hospitals are full of patients. And while the shooting may be over, the need for organization he helped to establish the Los Angeles Athletic Club and the Union League Club of San Francisco.

M. C. P. Picnic Is Great Stuff A clown, professional vaudeville, games for children and adults, awards and prizes, and a great big dinner were main features of the Mutual Citrus Products company's annual picnic at La Palma park Wednesday afternoon and evening. With Clarence Woodbury acting as master of ceremonies, the events flowed along in this manner: Games for children and their elders from 1 to 5, with prizes given to the winners.

"There was a time when the Browns were pretty low in standing but now they're right up there with the best. "I feel Anaheim should turn out standing-room-only crowds for the Browns." W. C. M'DERMOTT, Owner, Valencia hotel, 182 West Center—"The Los Angeles Angels were here this spring and it was great fun to have them at our hotel. "It should be more fun to have real big leaguers—the St. Louis Browns—next spring. Let us all give them a royal welcome." JOHN GRUBER, 819 North Sabina—"If I can get away from work, I sure will see the Browns play. We are lucky to have big league baseball come right to our doors." JOHN K.

"Of course, I'd rather see the Chicago Cubs come because they are my 'home' team. "But if they can't come, then let us all give the Browns a genuine, cordial welcome to Anaheim." ERVIN WEDFL, meat cutter, 615 South Clementine—"Any of the major league baseball clubs that come here is a good thing for the city. "Anaheim needs to wake up and show more interest in baseball. The Browns are an up-and-coming outfit and Anaheim people should show real interest in them." "Lots of people should come out and see what a fine thing Anaheim has in La Palma Park."

While the crowd of 500 or more lined up for a Parker House dinner on the grounds, a clown entertained old and young. After dinner, well-fed plenickers went to the grandstand for vaudeville, awards, talks and movies. A glorious little femme named Gloria Elwood from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture studios not only sang gloriously but when she presented 15-year ribbons to President H. T. Leo, Vice-President Fred A. Beck and Secretary-Treasurer Clarence C. Taylor, she gave each of them a big kiss. Other members of the 15-Year club who received ribbons and $15 each in cash (but no kisses) were James P. Jacobson, Clarence F. Woodbury, Cammie J. Hacker, Al Poudevigne, Al Saleats. Members of the 10-Year Club (eligible to those who have been with the company from 10 to 14 years), who received ribbons and (Continued on Page Five) SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY Complete figures of enrollment in the schools will be ginned in the next issue of the Gazette. Classrooms will ring with the merry voices of youngsters as they assemble on Monday morning to begin another term of school work. Several schools have opened during the week but lack of time prevented securing the data. "Anaheim needs to wake up and show more interest in baseball. The Browns are an up-and-coming outfit and Anaheim people should show real interest in them. "Lots of people should come out and see what a fine thing Anaheim has in La Palma Park. "It is good publicity," too, to have a major league team train in Anaheim." Since the announcement was made several days ago that the Browns had accepted the offer of La Palma park, a letter has been received from William De Witt, vice-president of the Browns, saying they will be here late in February and during most of March, 1946. It will be recalled that the Browns were all set to come here in 1942, but the deal was cancelled because of the war. According to Charles Griffith, city clerk, the Browns will pay nothing for the city park but they receive all the gate receipts of games played here. The city will take care of park, grounds, lockers, showers. Anaheim gets the concessions, which are usually turned over to the local American Legion post. The Browns guarantee to play three major league teams here—one game on a Sunday. With the Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates training in southern California, there should be some exciting games played here for the benefit of local fans. "Our biggest problem is housing," said City Clerk Griffith. "But with the splendid help of the local hotels, I believe we can take good care of the Browns." Griffith pointed out that the players and their party—estimated at 70—will be fed three times a day by the Elks club. The noon lunch will be served at the park. (Continued on Page 6)
