MEMBER WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASS'N OF ORANGE CO. — S.C.N.P.A. HENRY 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 Valencla 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! OPA VS. SANTA CLAUS If you'd maintain your reputation as a Santa Claus whom Friend Wife can believe in, wait to promise her a new electric cooker or an ultra modern refrigerator for Christmas until after you've had a serious talk with your dealer. Manufacturers, beset with troubles—OPA, labor, material, and others—are behind reconversion timetables as much as 60 days. Home appliances will remain scarce in most spots until after the holidays—just how much after is a matter for speculation. With materials, such as metals and plastics, off the "must" list for war purposes, and with facilities long since launched on the GLADLY SAD! Guy Lombardo, veteran jazz band leader, announces that swing music, with its 16-bar drum breaks and all, is on the way out and "sweet music" is coming back—and gives his reasons: "When people are worried they want to be pepped up. Swing does that. When they aren't worried so much—as since the war—they like to be sweetly, artistically sad, sort of. Sweet music does that." Sounds "confusin' but amusin'" but if it will help put an end to swing, we'll gladly be sad! INVEST IN VICTORY Progress of the Victory Loan drive may provide a yardstick for gauging the American capacity to an ultra modern refrigerator for Christmas until after you've had a serious talk with your dealer. Manufacturers, beset with troubles—OPA, labor, material and others—are behind reconversion timetables as much as 60 days. Home appliances will remain scarce in most spots until after the holidays—just how much after is a matter for speculation. With materials, such as metals and plastics, off the "must" list for war purposes, and with factories long since launched on the anxiously-awaited reconversion program, the anticipated flood of articles for which a patient public hungers remains in the mere trickle stage. In an effort to find the answer, the research department of the state chamber of commerce made a California-wide survey. "Requests of California manufacturers for OPA approval of prices on new products, which had been rising in volume prior to V-J day, has dropped or leveled off far below the number expected by local OPA offices," it reported. Concensus is that much of the fault lies with the OPA. Goods are not being made as rapidly as possible because manufacturers fear losses that may result unless they await OPA go-ahead signals. OPA is accused of "fighting a delaying action" to postpone its dissolution. Meanwhile the man who wants to play Santa Claus with a new radio; the wife who hopes for a modern washing machine; the merchant who would be glad to deliver them, and the manufacturer who is as anxious to supply him, are holding the bag. Brazil gets its name from its earliest article of export, pau Brasil, a free from whose heartwood a valuable crimson dye was extracted. INVEST IN VICTORY Progress of the Victory Loan drive may provide a yardstick for gauging the American capacity to make personal sacrifices for the common good without the stimulus of pure emotion. Gone are the appeals that stirred millions to buy War Bonds while the fighting was on—the need to provide money to buy ships, planes, guns, food and hospital supplies to save American lives and speed victory. That reason for raising billions of dollars through public loans is—happily—in the past. The Treasury Department could obtain the 11-billion-dollar Victory Loan by selling the entire issue to banks and insurance companies. That would be the easy way. But Secretary Vinson has allotted over a third of the loan—4 billion—to private buyers on an appeal to public intelligence. Inflationary pressures are heavy, in this period when enormous public buying power is pent up through scarcities, and full reconversion to mass production of civilian goods is months distant. The citizen who resists the temptation to buy goods still scarce on the market, in order to save his money in Victory Loan bonds, is doing his part to prevent runaway inflation. To buy a Victory Loan bond is to buy a share in the future of this Nation—to invest in victory. News about people is what makes a newspaper interesting Long Distance calls are still at an all-time high on the Pacific Coast But we're working night and day to bring service back to normal Long Distance calls are still at an all-time high on the Pacific Coast But we're working night and day to bring service back to normal Here on the Pacific Coast, Long Distance telephone calls are still at the same high level they reached just before Japan surrendered. That is why... even though we are already making headway in bringing service back to prewar standards... there may still be a delay before we can complete your Long Distance call, or the operator may ask you to limit it to five minutes. We want you to know, however, that we're doing everything possible to hurry the day when we'll again be able to handle promptly any Long Distance call you want to make... anywhere.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 50 Years Ago NOV. 21, 1895 Ana Ana will provide a rock sorter tramps, and each tramp required to break up so that rock before he gets any to eat. This is about the way to deal with this class people, and it ought to be fully followed by the differ-ences of the vicinity. Then would be fewer tramps. Graveling of the Olive road has been the means transforming that was once only the worst piece of road in county into a particularly thoroughfare. A. Evans has secured the act for putting in the levee at the Fifth street bridge Santa Ana, his bid being $979 that of Mr. Damron, his only petition, $1065. Nebelung is engaged in dig back his residence on the street, and will build an addition to the rear. N. L. Gallegos of Santa Ana has the job moving the buildings. Owen Kistler has purchased adjoining lot to that owned him at the corner opposite his blacksmith shop, which him a 48-foot front, and it is used he will erect a two-story building. Notice to contractors, askingoids for the erection of a county jail to be erected at Santa Ana, will be found on the page. 25 Years Ago NOV. 25, 1920 Murdock Henry, an early settler in Anaheim, but now living at Stockton, was resident here 50 years ago when the Gazette was established. After reading the story of our 50th birthday, Mr. Henry wrote an interesting letter to the editor of the Gazette from which we take the following extracts: It does not seem possible that the Gazette is 50 years old, reading of your first issue brings back my boyhood days. It was on Oct. 23, 1868 that my brother, Alexander Henry, his wife and two children, Innes and John, and myself landed in the old Planters hotel. I knew every one of the old-timers mentioned. Die Davis, at that time constable of Anaheim, was a bad man. I witnessed a fight he had over a game of poker with a man named Horton from Arizona. The dispute started in a saloon owned by Goldstein, and the result was that a good man, City Marshal Lehman, was killed. Both Davis and Horton were tried for murder and acquitted. In those early days there were no railroads. Everything came or went by steamer to San Francisco by way of Anaheim Landing. Freight was very high. When the Southern Pacific built through rates were lowered some. One old-timer, W. R. Olden, at one time land agent, predicted in the early 70's that Anaheim would be a big city, and that the valley would be a network of railroads. While working for Olden I saved up $250 and intended to buy a duction of administrative penses, the balance left after tribution locally goes into theeral fund of the state government. But approximately half as establishments now serve wine and distilled spirits in heimu as two years ago, the ing but seven as compared in 1943. The number also a decrease over a year ago others have on sale license beer and wine only and eight beer only. Licenses for sale of beer wine number four, and which include distilled spirit.

Anaheim’s Share Of First-Period Liquor Fee $1600 Anaheim will receive $1,600.62 as its share of alcoholic beverage licenses fees for the first six months of 1945, William G. Bonellli, member of the state board of equalization for the Fourth district, announces. Receipt of the money is expected momentarily by City Treasurer A. G. Tuma. Last year's share to Anaheim was $3616.35 for the two six-month periods. Orange county this year received $21.570 from the same source. Of that amount, $4835 went to the unincorporated area and the remainder to various cities and towns. Second installment distribution will be made about April 1, 1946, H. Pause, supervisor of liquor control for Orange county, believes. The money represents local share of $2,079,978.97 distributed throughout the state. It is 50 percent of such fees collected for the first half of this year. After de- unfortunate accident hapled on the street car line Tuesevening about half past 6 pk, shortly after the arrival of evening Santa Fe train, by one of the street car suffered the breaking of left hind leg and had to be Arthur Lewis was driving horse which was harnessed to ear car, with three passenboard, and his brother, Fred, driving an empty car ahead him.

Clay Kellogg, civil engineer, spoke on Monday evening at a meeting o the Orange County Historical society upon the early history of irrigation efforts in Orange county. Mr. Kellogg spent his boyhood on a pioneer farm west of Anaheim. He has been in close touch with irrigation matters since boyhood. For years he has been engineer for the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company and the Anaheim Union Water company. Twenty-four persons have already applied for apartments in the new tenements being erected by the chamber of commerce on South Claudina. There are only 22 apartments in the barracks under construction. The American Legion boys cleared $3500 on the carnival enterprise. The money will be used to buy a lot on which they hope to build a clubhouse. Several suitable sites have been offered to the boys but they have not yet determined upon anything. J. W. Duckworth writes from Honolulu under date of Nov. 9 that he and Mrs. Duckworth had just arrived after a rough voyage. On the evening before sail­ing Mrs. Duckworth fell on a San Francisco sidewalk, breaking her hip bone. She was taken aboard, however, and made the trip. Anton Schulte won the Stude­baker given away on Saturday, Nov. 13 by the American Legion boys. Everybody knows the soil of Anaheim has no equal on this earth in the variety and quality of its production, but it has final National Book Week Observed Here This is National Book week, and Anaheim public library has aged a special display of children's books as one feature of the here. Elizabeth Arnold, who opens the lending library in Jackdrug store, is cooperating willing attention to the observance and has arranged an exhibi-juvenile reading matter in of the windows there. Arnold mentions that ani-d books for children, a com-mively new development, lead popularity with small children, consequent interest resulting adults has brought a new of collecting various publica- of that nature. Anton Schulte won the Stude-baker given away on Saturday, Nov. 13 by the American Legion boys. Everybody knows the soil of Anaheim has no equal on this earth in the variety and quality of its production, but it has finally exceeded the fondest expectations of all. While digging around a tree in his yard on Palm street last week Mr. Knipe, the grocery man, unearthed a quart bottle of whiskey. Real estate values are said to be soaring in that neighborhood. Automobiles have been going out to the canyons this week and returning laden with holly. All the schools of Anaheim will have a vacation today and tomorrow. A revival is now in progress at the Christian church and much interest is being taken in the services. Home Citrus Trees May Infest Groves Citrus trees in the home garden need sparying periodically, just as do those in commercial groves. Often, neglect of nearby backyard plantings nullify orchard clean-ups to some extent, horticultural experts say. Professional custom spraying is safer, easier and better than the muss, inadequacy and bother of a makeshift job by the householder. While late summer and fall is best for the job, badly-infested trees should receive a subsequent treatment in the spring. Now it's an entire nation that learns that crime does not pay. Red Cross Leader To Discuss Safety Here Nov. 20 Miss Madge Sproull of the Anaheim high school faculty announces that Richard Evans, who has charge of accident prevention, water safety and first aid for the Red Cross will hold a meeting here next Tuesday night. The meeting will be held at the Red Cross headquarters, 142 West Center street and will start at 7:30 p.m. Accident prevention will be stressed at this time with special invitations being issued to the members of the Anaheim police department and to all others interested. Those desiring to renew their first aid certificate are urged to be present. If at any time enough persons are interested in forming a class the Red Cross has signified a willingness to provide an instructor for any of the above mentioned subjects.
