ANAHEIM GAZETTE 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 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! RED TAPE ON WHEELS Why are thousands of motor vehicles of all types kept standing idly in military depots when the nation is urgently in need of them? With the war over, the armed forces will have use for only a comparatively small number of machines. Then why keep unneeded vehicles tied up indefinitely? Acres of trucks, jeeps and staff cars now in military depots would help to relieve, at least in a degree, the shortage of motorized equipment which is one of America's most serious problems today. No less than 50,000 communities throughout the nation—1800 in California—are entirely dependent on motorized transportation. SHOP EARLY The season of holly and mistletoe is ushering in a shopping parade which promises to break all records, for this year's national income will again reach into the financial stratosphere. This Christmas, shoppers are warned more than ever to shop early. Scarcity of goods may make it difficult or impossible for our merchants to secure additional stock in many lines when present supplies are exhausted. And wise shoppers will not only do their buying early, they will do it at home where they can save precious time and dollars. Gone are the days when the big city held a monopoly on lower prices and variety of goods. With efficient merchandising methods, IN THE DAYS Fifteen hundred pounds of nail have been used in the construction of cells in the Anaheim prison. By the use of these nails driven crosswise into layers of boards six inches in width, the cells are made burglar proof. The prison will be completed to Christmas, and our enterprising city marshal is looking for suitable candidates to grace it for that occasion. A number of ranchers among them Messrs. Robinson and Walden are plowing in the San Ana valley. The settlers are going to sow largely in rye, wheat and barley. They will also sell quantities of castor beans. Settlers are flocking into that country, buying as much land as they are able to and renting whatever they need. During the past week Mr. Robert McFadden sold two acres to Mr. Hickey at $15 per acre. He also rented 200 acres to a Mr. Jilson for one year. Mr Nash sold 10 acres at $25 per acre to L. E. Smith of Anaheim Landing. Mr. Spurgeon sold two lots to Mr. Potts of Los Angeles.

forces will have use for only a comparatively small number of machines. Then why keep unneeded vehicles tied up indefinitely? Acres of trucks, jeeps and staff cars now in military depots would help to relieve, at least in a degree, the shortage of motorized equipment which is one of America's most serious problems today. No less than 50,000 communities throughout the nation—1800 in California—are entirely dependent on motorized transportation. Unless the rapid decline in the motor vehicle census is checked by substantial additions of new or surplus equipment, the transportation problems confronting these communities, and in fact the entire country, will be greatly aggravated. And with the clouds of industrial strife growing darker over Detroit, the outlook for new equipment is not bright. This problem has special significance for California, since our state has the largest motor population and transports two-thirds of all its intrastate freight by commercial trucks. In the final analysis, the immediate transportation need of the nation is for more rolling stock and less military red-tape. PALESTINE PROBLEM The situation in Palestine is getting no better—rapidly. And the outlook is not encouraging. No matter what is done the Jews or the Arabs will be dissatisfied. If nothing is done both will continue to be dissatisfied. It may prove unfortunate, therefore, that we have permitted ourselves to get involved in the mixup by accepting the British proposal for a joint Anglo-American commission of inquiry. There have been inquiries in the past. They have dragged out and have ended up without any solution to the situation either being found or attempted. There is little reason to believe that a joint inquiry will accomplish any more—except that it may succeed in shifting some of the blame onto us for the Palestine problem which has so long been directed exclusively toward Britain where it belongs. GAS TAX RECORD During September, the first full month of freedom from gas rationing, California hung up a new all-time record for gasoline tax collections. The total for the month was $5,946,148 as against a previous high set in August,1941. These figures reflect the great increase in traffic that followed V-J day. Of course, only a portion was warned more than ever to shop early. Scarcity of goods may make it difficult or impossible for our merchants to secure additional stock in many lines when present supplies are exhausted. And wise shoppers will not only do their buying early, they will do it at home where they can save precious time and dollars. Gone are the days when the big city held a monopoly on lower prices and variety of goods. With efficient merchandising methods, our local merchants have effectively broken that one-time monopoly. In so doing, they have rendered a service not only to shoppers, but to the community, for dollars spent at home create jobs, pay taxes, and support civic improvements of every kind. Our stores stand ready to help us fill our Christmas shopping bag with bargains as fine as any to be seen anywhere. To find Christmas cheer for ourselves, and to spread it among others, let's shop early and shop at home! MODERN HORATIO ALGER If there is one thing the American people like more than a mystery story, it is astory of success We love to hear about the real Horatio Algers who start without any advantages in life and win their way to the top. The recent appointment of Eric Johnston to the $100,000-a-year presidency of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors association together with his election to the board of directors of Bank of America, the world's largest bank, strikes us as one of the outstanding instances of the "poor-boy-makes-good" theme. In true American tradition Eric Johnston sold newspapers in his early days, worked his wa-through college, and at one time peddled vacuum cleaners from door to door. In addition to his recent honors he is now finishing his fourth term as president of the United States Chamber of Commerce and has been prominent in recent years cooperation between management cooperaction between management and labor. In the final analysis, Mr. Johnston has probably outdone even Horatio Alger himself. VACATION PLANS We're a little premature, but with gas rationing just a memory and the thought of new cars in the offing we can permit ourselves, for the first time in four years, the luxury of planning our next vacation trip. It's a thrilling thought—and all The Young Men's club which met at the Del Campo last Thursday evening organized by elective Mr. Melrose president, Mr. M.Kinley secretary and Mr. Cahal treasurer. A committee was appointed on by-laws consisting of Arthur Lewis, Herman Ster Otto Rust and Richard Melrose. They will report at the meeting to be held this evening. The club has not yet been named nor has the frequency of the meeting been determined upon. The present report a shockingly good time and no doubt the club will be very successful during the long winter evenings that are no before us. In conversation with Frank Porter the other day we were grateful to learn that no opposition exists in his neighborhood to cementing the southside ditch for which we trust a contract we be let at Saturday's meeting Placentia avenue is being beyond comparison by the new cement ditch which is now nearing completion along that thoroughfaith. 25 YEAR DEC. 16, 1920 It is said that Secretary Daniel will recommend the construction of the largest navy in the world on the ground that the failure of the United States to enter the League of Nations makes necessary. The chamber of commerce asking subscriptions to the amount of $2000 for the purpose of creating more apartments. The Anaheim Elks are going to give the children of northern Orange county their annual Christmas treat. Both the Grand theatre in this city and the Ria at Fullerton have been requited and will be open to kids on Thursday Dec. 23. The Hotel Valencia has agreed changed hands. J. H. Clark sold the furnishings and lease Diehl Brothers of Orange, who will take immediate possession. These gentlemen are experienced in managing hotels and will keep the Valencia up to its pres high standing. Chispa Chapter O. E. S., has a public installation Monday night. A banquet was given connection with the affair GAS TAX RECORD During September, the first full month of freedom from gas rationing, California hung up a new all-time record for gasoline tax collections. The total for the month was $5,946,148 as against a previous high set in August, 1941. These figures reflect the great increase in traffic that followed V-J day. Of course, only a portion was collected from private motorists. A tremendous revenue was derived from commercial vehicles, which account for nearly 40 per cent of all motor taxes paid in California even though they make up only about 14 per cent of the highway traffic. As new automobiles become available the September record for gas tax collections will undoubtedly be eclipsed by new record-breaking highs. VACANT VAULTS The United States has just received its final kick in the pants from the Japanese. They are so sorry, but it looks as if they will be unable to pay any reparations. A recent report from Edwin S. Pauley, the President's representative on the allied reparations committee bears out the belief that the Nips are broke and may have nothing left over after occupation costs are paid. He reports that the vaults of the Bank of Japan are narly vacant. He indicated that the Japanese assets in foreign countries are negligible and that the emperor's fortune in curios is of questionable cash value. Pauley stated, "I am not optimistic that there will be anything left for reparations of a recurring nature after paying for cost of occupation." America is entitled to more than 75 per cent of the total allied reparations—which may prove to be 75 per cent of nothing! VACATION PLANS We're a little premature, but with gas rationing just a memory and the thought of new cars in the offing we can permit ourselves, for the first time in four years, the luxury of planning our next vacation trip. It's a thrilling thought—and all the more so when we think of the magnificent selection of vacation spots our western states have to offer. To consider national parks alone, and to name but a few, our west contains: the Grand Canyon, noted for its brilliant coloring and waterfalls; Mt. Rainier, with its great glacier system; Crater lake, nature's "rhapsody in blue;" Yellowstone, containing more and greater geysers than all the rest of the world; the Carlsbad Caverns, with its mysterious caves not yet wholly explored; Bryce canyon, with its fantastically eroded pinnacles, and our own incomparable Yosemite valley. Of America's 25 national parks, 16 are in the 11 western states. With so much to see is it any wonder that we westerners are planning well ahead of time for our first real vacation in years? EISENHOWER'S VIEWS Returning from Europe General Dwight Eisenhower threw his weight behind peacetime military training as a necessary measure for the protection of America from possible future aggression. At the same time he declared that he was not pessimistic about the chances of maintaining the peace, he said, "I wouldn't be here—I would have jumped out of the plane over the Atlantic." He pointed out that there is little, if any, reason to fear with Russia, since the Russians are desperately in need of peace and would have virtually nothing to gain war with us. It is his belief that they are anxious to be our friend. Having dealt with Soviet militaries during the past seven years General Eisenhower's operation is worth much more than a long distance views of American critics who predict that war with Russia is inevitable. A CIVILIAN AGAIN George P. Nixon, metalsmith first class USNR, of 329 Melville street; Anaheim, was discharged from the U.S. Navy under point system Nov. 13. He listed October 13, 1942, and went to the Victory medal (World War II), Good Conduct Ribbon, American Camp medal and the Asa Pacific ribbon. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago In hundred pounds of nails been used in the construccells in the Anaheim city By the use of these nails, crosswise into layers of six inches in width, the made burglar proof. The will be completed by las, and our enterprising marshal is looking for suit candidates to grace it for occasion. Number of ranchers among Messrs. Robinson and Wakre plowing in the Santa Valley. The settlers are go-sow largely in rye, wheat orley. They will also sow ses of castor beans. Set-the flocking into that counting as much land as they are to and renting whatever need. During the past week Robert McFadden sold 40 Mr. Hickey at $15 per He also rented 200 acres Mr. Jilson for one year. Mr.old 10 acres at $25 per L. E. Smith of Anaheim Mr. Spurgeon sold two Mr. Potts of Los Angeles, tract for the erection of a school house was let on Saturday for $575, that being the lowest bid. The shipment of the new Anaheim vintage thus far in the season is upwards of 300 pipes containing in the neighborhood of forty or fifty thousand gallons of wine of the very best quality. In the course of the next few weeks there will have been shipped from here from one fourth to one half of the entire vintage. This, by reason of the favorable season, being thrown upon the market earlier than heretofore. As the wine is of superior quality it is hoped that better prices will prevail for it. J. M. Gibson contemplates erection of a comfortable new residence on the portion of his farm nearest to Anaheim, and near the residence of Mr. B. F. Kellogg. About one-half inch of rain has fallen since Wednesday evening last. The artesian well on Hanna's ranch has reached a depth of 180 feet. Work is now suspended for want of funds. 50 Years Ago Young Men's club which the Del Campo last Thursening organized by electing alrose president, Mr. Mcsecretary and Mr. Cahen. A committee was upon by-laws consisting of Lewis, Herman Stern, Just and Richard Melrose. Mr. Fay informs us that the report of the committee appointed to go up and inspect the cement work at Placentia and that one of the flumes will be made Saturday. Sunday's rain amounted to .17 of an inch according to Mr. Dickel's gauge. Total for the Cypress C. of C. Dedicate Honor Roll Friday Eve. The Chamber of Commerce in the city of Cypress is dedicating the honor roll for their service men and women at a memorial service to be held on Friday evening beginning at 8 o'clock. Families and friends of the service men and women will be guests for this impressive event. Chairman in charge of the affair is Jake Van Dyke with Mrs. Van Dyke in charge of decorations and flowers.

The Linden Dramatic Club The Linden Dramatic Club was organized in the early 90's and gave very creditable performances at "Reiser's Opera House" for several seasons, including Esmeralda, the Octoroon and many others. The cast was made up of Jack Landell, Minnie Zeyn, Ed Pellegrin, Neill Bailey, Lily Robison, Clara Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Claytor, "Buck" Buchanan of Fullerton and many others whose names we do not recall. When the club disbanded they had $575.00 in the treasury and it was decided to open a reading room and furnish it with part of these funds and use what was left in carrying it on. Most of the furnishings were donated. The room was located on Center street in a room next to Dr. Higgins drug store. Donations of books were made by citizens interested and the room was open afternoons and evenings in charge of a young lady who had been in the cast and perhaps others who were not. It was interesting to know how many of the young men of Anaheim became interested in literature. When funds ran out an effort was made to have the council and interested citizens supply funds for carrying on; the council did not think they were empowered to do any thing and the reading room was closed. After the disbanding of the dramatic club other entertaining exhibitions were given, including a presentation of "Living Whist," "Queen of Fame," "Dream of Fair Women" and others given by lo- talent under direction of prosonals from Los Angeles.

All over the world, the boys were away from home...and all over the world their families were missing them like anything. How on earth can you make a good Christmas for people when they're worried and lonely? No matter how hard he worked at presents to cheer them up, the one present that everyone in the world wanted was PEACE. And he couldn't do much about that. When 1945 dawned, Santa said to himself: "We've just GOT to make it this year. This Christmas must be a good Christmas...with the boys safe, millions of them back home, and everything happy and cheerful again!" people when they're worried and lonely? No matter how hard he worked at presents to cheer them up, the one present that everyone in the world wanted was PEACE. And he couldn't do much about that. When 1945 dawned, Santa said to himself: "We've just GOT to make it this year. This Christmas must be a good Christmas...with the boys safe, millions of them back home, and everything happy and cheerful again!" So there he sat at the North Pole, looking down over the scene of battle...watching and hoping, and praying, like everybody else. He watched the battles over Europe breathed a sigh of relief as D Day started the smash toward VE. Then came VE itself. But that triumph was tempered by what was going on around the other side of the world. How long would the Japanese war last? Gloomy predictions—one year, two years—outnumbered hopeful ones. And then, suddenly—and literally like a bolt from the blue—came VI Day. The war was over! So Santa rolled up his sleeves and went to work—to make this, in millions of homes, the best Christmas in the memory of man! And we at Penney's, who have always been Santa's assistants in a big way, have been working like heavers to provide the things that will complete this merriest of Merry Christmasses with gay, useful, welcome presents! Maybe not everything that everybody wants (even the best-intentioned Santas couldn’t accomplish THAT!) but certainly enough for a wonderful Christmas!
