Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valenela 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! GET THOSE VANDALS! Vandals, cunning and cruel as any fiend of fact or fiction and cowardly beyond description, are on the prowl in Orange county. Cruising the highways in speeding automobiles, they have caused injury and threatened even death to other motorists through a dangerous, outrageous and contemptible practice of hurling objects at passing cars. Like all criminals, they prefer the safety of darkness for protection. As a result of their activities, law enforcement officers are buzzing like a bunch of hornets whose nest has been destroyed. WE'RE HOME! WE'RE HOME! Imagine, if you can, this joyous shout of seven large bus loads of returning servicemen, possibly just embarked from an ocean-going vessel put into harbor a few hours before, breaking into an otherwise quiet calm of an evening as their busses traveled eastward on Center street several evenings past; the heart-swelling sensation that suddenly 'strikes as you hear the shouts; the meaning these shouts imply and the choking sensation one experiences as this feeling of utter uselessness sweeps over a mere human being. We, as civilians who have remained at home in luxury, al- IN THE DAY 50 Years Aged OCTOBER 31, 1895 On Thursday last a mashup occurred on the Fe at the eastern end of shoe Bend above Yorba. A rock train of five cars of blocks came around the turf great speed, a rock fell between the cars. Three of the cars went down the embankment some 15 feet, but the engineer tender and the first rock car not injured. The fifth car of the caboose was also wilt but remained on the track saving the caboose from down the embankment. Packing of the rock is given the cause of the accident. A merry-go-round has been up in the Planters hotel park takes in quite a harvest of after school, when steam ten up, and the enjoyment tinues until late in the evening. An organ accompanies them and during the rides disc such operatic successes as the Ball," "Won't Go Home Morning" and "Mickey Brant Bull Pup." If you haven’t a ride on the merry-go-round you're away behind the time. Charley Wommer takes back old job tomorrow, that off ing the express and mail w George Lock, the street car takes the job of driving th wagon and Fred Lewis will ciate on the street car. Cruising the highways in speeding automobiles, they have caused injury and threatened even death to other motorists through a dangerous, outrageous and contemptible practice of hurling objects at passing cars. Like all criminals, they prefer the safety of darkness for protection. As a result of their activities, law enforcement officers are buzzing like a bunch of hornets whose nest has been destroyed. And justly so! Injury to two persons already has resulted. Both are women, and both were threatened with blindness when contents of packages thrown at them entered their eyes. One received a shower of glass from a shattered windshield in her face. Some of it was removed from her eyes at a hospital. It is not to the credit of the cowardly perpetrators of these outlandish acts that neither of their victims, apparently, is permanently injured or disfigured. The officers are handicapped, in that descriptions of the cowardly offenders are meager, as is that of the car or cars in which they prowl. With city, county and state authorities on their trail, they will be brought to answer for their crime, or will desist before they are caught. All law-abiding and sensible citizens will hope it is the former. If they are not apprehended, there is always the danger that the lull will prove but temporary and that they will reappear as soon as the "heat is off." Orange county and the state of California can take no such chance. NAVY DAY In every California port last week the home-coming men and ships of Admiral "Bull" Halsey's famous Third Fleet received the multitude welcome many of the sailormen had dreamed of for years—and which Californians had dreamed of giving them. People thrilled at the sight of the somber, powerful sea fortresses—the Third Fleet champions that beat their way to the very shores of Japan to hurl shells as well as bombs, and teach the Jap that he was beaten before an American set foot on Jap soil. They thrilled to Bull Halsey's message: "Here is my first point: During the periods of greatest stress and longest going, we had utter, going vessel put into harbor a few hours before, breaking into an otherwise quiet calm of an evening as their bushes traveled eastward on Center street several evenings past; the heart-swelling sensation that suddenly 'strikes' as you hear the shouts; the meaning these shouts imply and the choking sensation one experiences as this feeling of utter uselessness sweeps over a mere human being. We, as civilians who have remained at home in luxury, although constantly grumbling at our meaningless inconveniences, should stop and think the thoughts of the thousands of boys, like those who shouted their joy at being home on that quiet evening last week, and realize the blessings we are privileged to enjoy and further resolve to do everything we can to make up, in a very small way, to the thousands upon thousands of men who gave up everything dear to them months and years ago that we might enjoy these God-given blessings. We often wonder what their thoughts might be as they once again see the shores of their homeland and come to realize that they are nearing the end of that "long trail back" from what many of them thought would lead into eternity and for the many hundreds of thousands who made the supreme sacrifice. Like the soldier, who upon setting foot upon his native land, fell to his knees and kissed the black soil under his feet, muttering a prayer of thanksgiving because his Maker had given him the privilege of returning home again, the thought of the thousands, whether they enter through the West coast or the East coast, must all be the same, "God and Home". Medals won on the battle field for wounds received or for valorous deeds performed are mere baubles as compared to the memory of that glorious sight as our heroes ALL once again see home and their loved ones. The time has come when we must realize what our men have won, not only through conquest of the enemy, but through the sacrifices they have made. "We're Home! We're Home!!" What would your thoughts and reactions be if, upon a comparatively still evening, these joyous sounds should suddenly strike your ears? We venture to say that tears would come to your eyes as the full impact of these words struck your heart, just as they did those who heard these words on that evening not so long ago." Charley Wommer takes bad job tomorrow, that offing the express and mail w George Lock, the street car takes the job of driving thwagon and Fred Lewis will ciate on the street car. Kuebler and Stone have an asphaltum crosswalk at Center street at the Hart which will be found to be a convenience to pedestrians in the rainy season. C. G.

They thrilled to Bull Halsey's message: "Here is my first point: During the periods of greatest stress and toughest going, we had utter, complete and total unity of our forces. As one team, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard—yes, and the men of the Merchant Marine—went ahead and did an apparently impossible job. "The second point is the magnificent work of the men involved. In war, the human equation is one riddle you can't solve with gadgets, gears and levers. You can't press a button and get a positive answer. But you have to depend on it—or you're licked... Those ships lying in California harbors today symbolize that." Yet never, paradoxically, has a U.S. battle fleet come home from war more certain of victory heroically earned, while less certain of its future standing as a major factor in the Nation's armament. For there is a school of military thought which holds that surface navies will be rendered obsolete within a few years by improved atomic bombs, rockets, and aircraft of vastly increased speeds, ranges and carrying power. Somehow, though, the people got the impression that Bull Halsey doesn't think the Navy will become passe, and somehow the people feel the same way. It was the Navy, they remember, that made the defeat of Japan possible. This week's Navy Day celebration won't be at all in the nature of a wake! Nearly half of Japan's silk trade before the war was with the United States. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 50 Years Ago OCTOBER 31, 1895 On Thursday last a railroad mashup occurred on the Santa Fe at the eastern end of Horse-hoe Bend above Yorba. As a rock train of five cars of granite rocks came around the turn with heat speed, a rock fell off between the cars. Three of the rock cars went down the embankment, some 15 feet, but the engine and under and the first rock car were not injured. The fifth car, ahead of the caboose was also wrecked, it remained on the track, thus leaving the caboose from going down the embankment. Careless kicking of the rock is given as the cause of the accident. A merry-go-round has been put in the Planters hotel park, and goes in quite a harvest of nickels over school, when steam is got up, and the enjoyment continues until late in the evening. An organ accompanies the affair, and during the rides discourses with operatic successes as "After Ball," "Won't Go Home 'Til Turning" and "Mickey Brannigan's All Pupz." If you haven't triedride on the merry-go-round, you're away behind the times. Charley Wommer takes back his job tomorrow, that of driving the express and mail wagon. George Lock, the street car driver, sees the job of driving the cityagon and Fred Lewis will offiice on the street car. 25 Years Ago NOVEMBER 4, 1920 Latest returns indicate that Harding and Coolidge have carried the eastern, western, northern and middle states, leaving the solid south for Cox. It is impossible at this writing to give the estimates of the electoral vote but the best estimates give Harding 373, Cox 142 and 16 in doubt. In California Samuel Shortridge defeated James D. Phelan by about 100,000. Phil D. Swing is elected by a heavy majority, but it is impossible to give the figures at this time. The anti-Jap law carries by a huge majority. Almost 75 per cent of the registered votes was cast in Anaheim. U. S. C. freshmen defeated Stanford at football on the latter's grounds on Saturday afternoon by a score of 35 to 0. Ted Kuchel played center and John and Arch Hawkins were in the back field, Hartranft of Fullerton played with Stanford. On next Saturday afternoon U. S. C. freshmen meet Berkeley at Bovard field. Following the freshman game at Stanford, Stanford's varsity eleven defeated Oregon by a score of 10 to 0. A crowd of ten thousand witnessed the game. A number of U. S. C. men went to San Francisco Saturday evening and spent Sunday in that city and Berkeley. They returned to Los Angeles on the Lark on Monday morning. Miss Pauline Vetter is recovering from serious illness. Thirty-hundredths of an inch of rain fell during the storm last Friday night, making the precipitation so far this season close to an inch. The annual meeting of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon association will be held today. The report of Manager Sandilands will be submitted to the stockholders and a board of directors elected for the coming year. Mr. Sandilands says Anaheim has shipped close to 2000 cars of fruit the past season, and indications are that we will send out 3000 cars next year. Sends Gazette to His Grandad Jack C. Dutton of route 2, Anaheim, orders the Gazette sent to his grandfather, John Chapman Cottrell in Cereal, Alberta, Canada. Mr. Cottrell observed his 85th birthday anniversary on Oct. 17, and according to his grandson, is one of the most active men he has ever seen. He is editor of the Cereal Reporter, a farm implement dealer, sells all types of insurance, is chief magistrate of his city, and as a sideline, he works for the Canadian government, driving his own car 7000 miles a year, and seven thousand miles a year in Alberta, Canada, is a lot of driving because they do not have the hard-surfaced roads there that we have in this country. Their roads are mostly all dirt roads. This fact and the winter season, cuts down good driving weather considerably. Mr. Cottrell has lived in Canada since 1910 when he left about a year ago and visited the shipyards and many other things of interest the speed of the day cars. He plans to fly down the next USO Housing Service Ask For Apartment The Anaheim USO service, under the direction Mrs. M. P.

She was critically ill for several days but is now well on the way to recovery. Next new beautiful edifice slated for Anaheim is the Evangelistic Lutheran church to be erected on the site of the old building at the corner of Emily and Chartres street, opposite the new grammar school building. This church has been in contemplation for some time and last week the official board voted to go ahead with it. The building will cost about $30,000. Billy Cook, one of the star players of the Anaheim school football team, sustained a badly wrenched arm in the game with Fullerton Saturday afternoon and was compelled to have surgical aid. His retirement seriously crippled the home team. About 40 members of the Anaheim lodge of Elks celebrated Sunday by constructing a house, 16x16 feet in size for Mrs. J. Brophy and her three children. Mr. Brophy is an invalid, having been injured recently while at work at the sugar factory and the family has been living in a tent. The Elks furnished all the building materials for the little home which will make the family comfortable for the winter. Clyde Potter, advertising manager of the Southern Counties Gas company, was in the city Saturday transacting business. He is giving publicity to the sale of high grade China hogs and Jersey cattle which President Bain of the gas company is offering at his ranch near the Palms. Prof. Tozier and E. A. Beard went up to Los Angeles Monday to select some new instruments for the Elks band. Beard is going to change from a saxophone to an alto. Johnny Walls has our thanks for Mr. Cottrell has lived in Canada since 1910 when he left the east to open a new life in the country north of us. At the age of fourteen years, he was a school teacher known as a "Boy Wonder". Today his mind is unusually keen and alert, as is evidenced by his many business ventures in his city, where he also owns the principal hotel, cafes, and several other business firms. He attends to all his own business affairs. Cereal, like most other cities, is experiencing a housing shortage, and recently Mr. Cottrell gave up his home so that a family might live there and he fitted up a room in the back of his office where he lives. He has admitted though, that he doesn't like his present arrangement.

Thaxton, is making another appeal to the citizens of Anaheim for apartments, houses, rooms or any type of housing suitable to caring for a returned serviceman, his wife and family. Many of them have only a wife while others have from one to three children. The need is desperate and growing more so each day due to the fact that thousands of men are being returned from the battlefronts and war theaters. At the American Legion Navy day program last Monday evening, Chaplain Robert Gordon of the Naval Air station at Los Alamitos, in the course of his talk, paid the Anaheim USO housing service a very fine compliment, stating "every time we hear Anaheim mentioned the first thought we have is the Anaheim USO housing service and the splendid work Mrs. Thaxton is doing. She has been responsible for the placement of a huge number of members of our base into homes and apartments and through her efforts, the Los Alamitos Naval Air station is indeed very grateful," going on to pay other lovely commons. Anaheim Offered Additional $1095 Of Federal Funds Addition of $1095, for an enlarged and improved electrical distribution system, to $7510 previously allotted the City of Anaheim for municipal improvements was announced in a telegram to the Gazette this week from Congressman John Phillips. The offer of federal funds is to pay a portion of the cost of an extension to provide current to the industrial section of North Anaheim. Advice was previously received that the FWA had granted funds for a portion of the cost of the following projects: fire station, equipment shed, water mains, storm drain, sewer facilities, sewage treatment plant, water storage tank and park improvements. pliments to the housing service and the work they have accomplished.

The plant occupies 22 acres of ground. The buildings have 170,000 square feet of floor space. Lot more to it than you might expect. Excellent location, too, on the outskirts of Corona. The Exchange Lemon Products Company is Corona's largest industry, has the biggest payroll here. Plant provides some of the most interesting smells you ever smelled. This reporter always thought the lemon had a single characteristic odor. No such thing. It's a blend of many different odors. Here, where they break the lemon down into many of its constituent elements, you smell 'em all separately. To do this breaking down—to extract from these unmerchantable lemons all the different saleable products they contain—requires a lot of machinery: giant washers, extractors, pasteurizers, heating tanks, storage tanks, presses. Takes a full hour to see 'em all. Principal products made here are: canned lemon juice, canned concentrated lemon juice, pectin, citric acid, and lemon oil. Lemon oil is used in candies, pastries and cosmetics. One lemon yields only a few drops of lemon oil—a valuable stuff! Bet some of your wife's favorite perfumes contain lemon oil from Corona. Pectin has a big market among jam and jelly manufacturers. But now there's another important market opening up—in the medical field. This plant is pioneering in the production of medicinal pectin; a higher grade product than anybody has produced before. It's proving highly useful in treating intestinal diseases.

OVERLAND PRODUCTS MERCERS CARS -- TRUCKS KEEPERS -- TRACTORS ATION WAGONS Repair Department for All Makes Are Invited! IN CIVIES! Pectin has a big market among jam and jelly manufacturers. But now there's another important market opening up—in the medical field. This plant is pioneering in the production of medicinal pectin; a higher grade product than anybody has produced before. It's proving highly useful in treating intestinal diseases. Interesting the way the company got started. Happened almost 30 years ago, to work out a better way of disposing of lemons that couldn't be sold fresh. Up to then the growers had paid out good money to have this fruit hauled away and dumped. So Sunkist lemon growers formed the Exchange Lemon Products Company with a two-fold purpose: to take this fruit off their hands and turn it into useful products; and to develop markets for the products. As the manager of the company points out, the purpose is the same today as it was then. But the operation itself has increased tremendously with the growth of the lemon industry. Plant capacity has been doubled every five years since the growers started the company in 1916! The plant has handled an average of 154,000 tons of lemons each year for the last five years. The company, since its founding, has handled well over 1,500,000 tons. That's a lot of lemons. This well developed operation has been of immense aid in the orderly marketing of the fresh fruit. And at the same time, through efficiency and economy of operation, and through aggressive sales effort, it has enabled the Exchange lemon grower to recover a share of his cultural costs on fruit that no couldn't sell through fresh fruit channels. As you look over this large, clean, well-kept plant, you realize anew the advantages that citrus growers gain by cooperative effort. Such an efficient, economical operation could never have been developed by a small group of growers. But it has been done successfully through the Exchange, in which thousands of growers work together. California Fruit Growers Exchange Bunkist Building, Los Angeles 852
