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! PISTOL PACKIN' PATTON Lusty, loose-tongued, hot-tempered General George Patton is "down" again. He was up to begin with, as a skillful commander, until he slapped a soldier, then was down a while, in obscurity and public disfavor. Then he was up once more, when he led his armored Third army in slashing style across Germany. Now he's down again—disciplined and shifted to a relatively unimportant command for disregarding orders of General Eisenhower while military governor of Bavaria. Through these bewildering phases of this truculent officer's career, we have a hunch, the American people have developed WHY BORROW NAZI BRAINS? The War Department's announcement that a picked group of German scientists and technicians will be brought to the United States to furnish "know how" on scientific developments isn't likely to be widely applauded, by scientists or laymen, in this nation. Why need we borrow Nazi brains? It would be fatuous to say that U.S. science, from the purely material standpoint, would not benefit to some degree from such intellectual borrowing. The German mind is peculiarly adapted to technological research and organization; this is one of the factors that make Germany so formidable in war. IN THE DAY 50 Years Ago OCTOBER 17, 1895 The Santa Ana street railway company have notified the council that after the 19th instillation they will give up their franchise and cease running the street not only in Santa Ana, but their line to Tustin and Orange well. The reason given is that the road does not pay and stockholders cannot afford to comply with the requirements of the city council to pave a number of blocks in their track. This be a severe blow to Santa Ana and will leave Anaheim the town in the county with a stairrailway. We are the people— H. C. Gade has received a signment of the celebrated B.Diamond coal, which he is ready to deliver at the lowest prices. This is the best coal the market, being in fact a thief of beauty and a joy forever once used you'll never be with it. Ring up Gade, for coal, when you get your telephone in, leave orders with him before, he will be at your service to deliver the same with neatness and dispatch. While driving with her side and the two little Pellegrin on Thursday evening about o'clock, Miss Nettie Aubert the misfortune to be quite seriously injured by the overturning her vehicle which was caused by the shying of the horse at his shadow from the electric light the corner of Center and R streets. The horse started to sea-going santa's last call! This is the last week in which to prepare that Christmas box for guaranteed delivery by Christmas day to a sailor, soldier or marine overseas. October 15, next Monday, is the deadline date for mailing! Sea-Going Santa, who's in cahoots with the American Red Cross and the military postal services, emphasized the deadline. If it is missed, some American boy beyond the Pacific or Atlantic, sweating it out the hard way now that the fighting is over, his longing for home sure to be the most poignant on Christmas Day, may suffer a disappointment no man over there deserves to suffer. Wherever a service man may be—on dreary foreign station, on his way over, on his way back, or on a hospital ship—he'll get his Christmas package on time, if the deadline is met. That's Sea-Going Santa's guarantee. But it's also his last call! Only two naval officers have ever held seats in the United States Senate: Commodore Robert F. Stockton of New Jersey and Admiral Thomas of Virginia. Why need we borrow Nazi brains? It would be fatuous to say that U.S. science, from the purely material standpoint, would not benefit to some degree from such intellectual borrowing. The German mind is peculiarly adapted to technological research and organization; this is one of the factors that make Germany so formidable in war. Granting that, there surely is no need for U.S. science to bow to German science on the question of general "know how." The Nazis sneaked a long lead in war technology while preparing to assault the world. Yet Americans caught them and passed them—in rado, in atomic power research, in aviation, in field engineering, in logistics! These master minds from Germany may well learn more here than they will impart—a probability which makes all the more questionable the wisdom of inviting men who served the Axis to work and make scientific observations among our own men of science. The German intellectual assets this country may profit by it already has, in the brains of men and women, Jew and gentile, who fled to America to escape Nazi persecution. Their talents were gratefully pooled with the intellectual resources of the nation that gave them refuge—resources built through generations by immigrants who crossed the seas to find freedom not only to think and study, but to speak and believe and live as they chose. Such brains will always be welcome and always be needed in this country, from whatever land they come. But—why borrow Nazi brains? WHAT WE DON'T WANT The United States cannot possibly dig itself out of its foxholes by getting behind any kind of purely political proposals by either Democrats of Republicans. What we need is old-fashioned nonpartisan commonsense! There are strikes and rumors of strikes in our principal industries—and the strike leaders are depending upon their political pull to win their civilian war. Labor and management are on an equal footing right now, and it is up to them to agree upon problems and differences, in the interests of America. We don't want any politics in how on scientific developments isn't likely to be widely applauded, by scientists or laymen, in this nation. While driving with her side and the two little Pellegrin bikes on Thursday evening about o'clock, Miss Nettie Aubert tries to be quite seriously injured by the overturning her vehicle which was caused the shying of the horse at his shadow from the electric light the corner of Center and R streets. The horse started to away, and became unmanageable and the vehicle was overturned precipitating the occupants to ground. All escaped injury except Miss Aubert, who sustained fracture of a number of smaller bones of her face. She was carried into Mr. Nitti's dence and medical aid summo. She was subsequently removed her home where she is resting easily as the circumstances were permit. Mr. Guenther was 74 years age on Sunday, and was thecipient of many tokens of esprit and good wishes for many hires returns of the day. Mr. Guther is one of the oldest and highly respected of our Pioneers and is probably more active than many men twenty years junior. Al and Billy Smith have been out Brunswicker's butcher at Fullerton and will in fact conduct the same. Ernest H. Finley, $2,357; L. A. E. $2,394; A. D. Porter, $2,485. Damron's bid being the lowest announced that he would draw it, and the work was availed to Mr. Finley. Marshal Steadman has erected watering trough on Los Arnes street next to Stern Bros. blishment, and another on Lester street near the old New Era oak. This will be appreciated by farmers who want to water horses when they come to town. Dr. G. H. Bailey has been seriously ill during the week was yesterday reported to somewhat improved. The Fourteenth convention of the Orange County Sunday Association will be held in Main street Methodist church Santa Ana on the 25th and Wherever a service man may be—on dreary foreign station, on his way over, on his way back, or on a hospital ship—he'll get his Christmas package on time, if the deadline is met. That's Sea-Going Santa's guarantee. But it's also his last call! Only two naval officers have ever held seats in the United States Senate: Commdore Robert F. Stockton of New Jersey and Admiral Thomas C. Hart of Connecticut. What we need is old-fashioned nonpartisan commonsense!

Labor and management are on an equal footing right now, and it is up to them to agree upon problems and differences, in the interests of America.

Miss Nettie Aubert had disfortune to be quite serious-jured by the overturning of vehicle which was caused by yying of the horse at his own row from the electric light at corner of Center and Palm Sts. The horse started to run and became unmanageable. 25 Years Ago OCTOBER 21, 1920 The registration in this city for the November election is 2,018. This is an average of 200 for the ten precincts of the city. The largest precinct in the county is Fullerton No. 2, where the registration is 554. Considering the time required by each voter to consider the big ballot with its twenty amendments, if all those people vote between sunrise and 4 o'clock p.m., they will have to get a hustle on themselves. The election board in that precinct will have a strenuous time. On Saturday night the first republican rally of the campaign was held in this city. Republicans from Santa Ana and other sections of the county came over to help enthuse and hear Phil D. Swing of El Centro, republican candidate for Congress, and Judge Rex B. Goodcel of San Bernardino speak. Attorney Wm. P. Webb, Jr., an overseas soldier and president of the American Legion post, presided at the meeting and introduced the speakers. It was confidently predicted that California will give Harding and Coolidge at least 200,000 majority and that Shortridge and Swing will be elected by overwhelming majorities. In the death of Mrs. Malvina J. McKinnie at her home in Los Angeles, one of the oldest natives of Anaheim passed away. She was the daughter of John Fischer, one of the fifty Pioneers who founded the city, and she was born in 1862 when the town was very Dick Melrose Tells Of Jap Attack Continued from Page 1 volunteers were called for. Every man in our squadron volunteered." As they left Hawaii, not one light could be seen in all the islands—except the burning battleship, Arizona. Finding nothing in the way of Jap planes or ships, the squadron came back. But they did see a sizeable American task force returning from maneuvers. Personal Belongings Gone! When they returned to their barracks, they found nearly everything they owned had been swiped. Actually so many sailors came ashore wet and wounded, the barracks were raided for clothing and other things for the victims. "They even took the trousers of my civilian suit but they left the coats and vests," Melrose said. "Why, I don't know." The Japs never came back. But if they had, they could have taken the islands, in the opinion of this sailor. Later, Lt. Melrose and his squadron of PBYs fought at the battle of Midway where the Japs were turned back with great loss. Discover Jap Planes! It was this Anaheim boy's squadron, as the battle spread over hundreds of miles of water, that found the remaining ships of the Nips heading for home. They radioed the position and, with help, made a lot of Japs at home look in vain for their fathers, sons and husbands. In the Solomons and other South Pacific spots, Melrose flew in the first Dumbo squadrons, B-24 and an Army B-25. But that is all behind him; he is happy to say. And a few weeks' vacation with Melrose and their little days 9 months old Sharon Lee, going back to work for Sharon.

McKinnie at her home in Los Angeles, one of the oldest natives of Anaheim passed away. She was the daughter of John Fischer, one of the fifty Pioneers who founded the city, and she was born in 1862 when the town was very young and very small. She was married to Fred C. McKinnie who was a clerk in the local post office, and thirty-seven years ago they moved to Los Angeles. John Fischer, father of Mrs. McKinnie, married a sister of John Hartung. He did much to assist the young town in its struggle for a place on the map. He built the Planter's Hotel in 1866, which was the first hostelry in Anaheim. It was situated at the corner of Los Angeles and Center. The building was destroyed by fire but Mr. Fischer rebuilt it. He also established the first brick yard in Anaheim. It was situated on East Center street on the ground now owned by G. W. Sandeland's orange orchard. Mrs. McKinnie's sister Anna was the first American child born on Anaheim soil and she was named in honor of the town. There was a story to the effect that the town was named for her. This is not true. The name Ana-heim was made by combining the word "heim" with "Ana", the name of our river, the meaning supposed to be conveyed being "a home by the Santa Ana river". F. C. Benjamin, president of the First National bank, passed away suddenly on Saturday morning. Heart failure was the cause of his death. Mr. Benjamin came to Anaheim two and a half years ago and purchased the controlling interest in the First National of C. E. Holcomb. He leaves his wife and one son, Horace R. Benjamin, who is cashier of the bank and will probably succeed to his father's position as head of the institution.

Anaheim Masons begin 75th Year Continued from Page 1 Mans determined to shoot one-half of their captives. The Texan prisoners were blinded and required to draw beans from a box; one-half being black and the remainder white. Those who drew black beans were at once taken out and shot; those who drew white beans were kept as prisoners for exchange. Early Murdered! Ransom P. Boswell drew a white bean and afterward gained his property; but he was so sure of death that he was completely unserved and never fully recovered. So after many years of feeble health, he concluded to try the climate of California. On the desert of New Mexico his wife died, and he deposited her remains in an unknown grave. Early all his oxen perished, and with six small children he continued his long and mournful journey for many months. Mainy Season!

One of them called on the sick father and soon satisfied himself that Boswell was a Mason in good standing. The brethren met for the first time as a body, and soon made arrangements for a house for the family. Supplies of flour, beans, potatoes, coffee, sugar, fuel, etc., were sent to the home. Their Brother's Keeper! The Masons' wives were soon busy in preparing clothing for the children and dry bedding for the family. As the house could be occupied only a few days, it was decided to buy Boswell ten acres of land and build a cheap house thereon; the whole costing about $600. In due time they were domiciled in their own house, the deed was turned over to Boswell and his oldest son secured employment. The records of the preliminary meeting of Anaheim Masons bearing upon this subject have been preserved and from the same is this entry: "A meeting of Free and Accepted Masons was called for February 27, 1870, in the evening at the house of Bros. L. Goldstein and L. J. Davis for the purpose of aiding Bro. R. P. Boswell, a newly arrived emigrant, whose family was reported sick and destitute." Fathers of Anaheim!

This completes the early history of Anaheim Masonic lodge No. 207. On June 5, 1912, the present Anaheim Masonic Temple association was organized, to erect a new Masonic temple. On March 25, 1913, it was announced enough money was in the treasury to start erecting the new Masonic temple and on May 26, 1913, the contract of building the Masonic temple was given to Contractor J. S. Hilend to cost $31,-324. Today! Anaheim Masonic lodge has a membership of 300, with a large trestleboard awaiting initiation, according to the secretary, Ernest Zitzmann. The fraternity, he said, never has been in better condition. And now it looks forward with confidence to celebrating its 100th birthday in 1970!
