ANAHEIM GAZETTE Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange County HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers Chet G. Burke, News Editor 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. Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1897. Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 STOP THE SHOW: Only a few brief months have passed since a joyous and thankful world hailed V-J day, in belief that cessation of hostilities in the most frightful war in history had rung down the curtain on a dreadful drama in which Death revelled in the starring role. But the "Great Grim Reaper" refuses to quit the stage. He's hanging on with the oft mentioned "dogged determination" to his place in the center of the spotlight. The play that raised him to stardom when it started its record run as automobiles first came into general use, continues. "Death on the Highway" misses no performance. Last year, 3677 lives and more than 63,000 injuries were the toll it collected in California alone. In 10 years, the cost in the state, more than 30,000, is 541,000, respectively. It's time to call a halt! But Speaker Scores Radicals Before 3 Service Clubs Tendency of the nation today to lean to bureaus and "isms" of various sorts was scored by Dan Gilbert, self-termed former atheist and "reformed" Communist, principal speaker at a combined meeting of the Anaheim Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs at the Elks club Monday. The Rotarians sponsored the meeting, and it was held on their regular weekly luncheon day. The Kiwanis club normally meets on Tuesday and the Lions on Friday. Drawing on behind-the-scenes knowledge gained through membership in various organizations, Graham decried what he termed "Dogged determination" to his place in the center of the spotlight. The play that raised him to stardom when it started its record run as automobiles first came into general use, continues. "Death on the Highway" misses no performance. Last year 3677 lives and more than 63,000 injuries were the toll it collected in California alone. In 10 years, the cost of the state, more than 30,000, is 541,000, respectively. It's time to call a halt. But what to do to stop the performance of this spectacle that dwarfs the horrors of ancient Rome's bloodiest arenas? Planning bodies work feverishly to devise safer highways. State agencies seek to provide funds for their realization. Safety leaders stress education. The governor and members of the legislature hope to bring relief through laws. They combine to get result that is the wish of every man and woman in the state nation. TO ANAHEIM MAKE FUTURE HOME Mr. and Mrs. Harold G. Carlin, Jr., have moved back to Anaheim from San Diego, where Harold has been stationed in the service and is back in civilian life again. They will occupy their home here. Harold has been in service almost seven years and was overseas almost five years. Participating in the battle of two Jima, being sent from there to the islands for recuperation and back to Japan for further duty. MABEE—NOT MAYBE! A daughter was born Saturday morning at Fullerton general hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Roy Mabee, prominent Orange countians who reside on their citrus ranch on Lincoln boulevard. The baby has been named Virginia Kay. TO VISIT DAUGHTER IN NORTHERN CITY Mrs. Edith Edmiston of 118 South Olive street, is planning a trip in the near future to Piedmont near Oakland, where she will visit with a daughter.

Going to the lateness of the house was laid over for adoption and subsequent meeting: "Whereas, Anaheim Cooperative Beet Super company has labored for more than four years in an effort raise money for the purpose building a sugar factory, and such efforts have been thus proven failures, and whereas reason of dissentions in said corporation it finds itself with credit and unable to raise money even to pay the ordinary expenses of the corporation; whereas there are now $4000 for debts incurred and no more in the treasury with which they are same; and whereas there no prospect that this corporate will ever be able to raise amount of money necessary built the factory or to carry the objects for which the corporation was founded; therefore it resolved that this corporate take immediate steps to pay its indebtedness and to disinpute at the earliest possible moment." One of the wags in Schillings Minstrels perpetrated a horror joke upon an efficient street service when he said, after riving in town he became spondent and threatened suicide.

Water has extended to Fairview, and through the Coyote valley. At Ana every farmer is cheerful and contended. A few days while at that place, we took motion to inquire of the assemblage of 15 farmers (who had entered at the store of Mr. Spurgeon) if they were satisfied or hurried and they unanimously declared their satisfaction with prospects, and the prospects their vicinity for the coming Now, it is quite certain, if nine-tenths of our people are satisfied, the other tenth be the uneasy, shiftless which falls to our lot as as to the lot of all other communities, to have subsist and upon us.

An extensive dairy is being established about two miles below Santa Ana by Mr. Jerome Porter, formerly of Los Angeles. He now has on hand one hundred cows, and is purchasing continually, intending to increase the number to two hundred and fifty. Supplies will be furnished regularly from the dairy after the 20th inst. The village of Santa Ana now contains about 150 souls. It is owned principally by W. H. Spurgeon, A. L. Bush and D. H. Samis. It contains one general merchandise store, a post office (with daily mail), a fine school house, blacksmith shop, saloon and a number of hastily constructed residences. Immediately outside the town is a large two story brick house which cost about $10,-000. It is the property of Mr. T. Casad. A hotel is about to be built and as the telegraph line passes through the town a telegraph office will soon be built. Our patrons at Santa Ana will please notice that W. H. Spurgeon, Esq., of that place is an authorized agent for the Gazette, to receive both money and subscriptions. On Monday night while the stage was tipping over on Center street, Dr. Heyerman's favorite buggy horse took fright and ran In the early days of this government, the President used to make a speech regularly to the congress, when it assembled. In 1801, President Jefferson discontinued this custom, and sent his annual message "in writing." In 1913, President Wilson re-established the practice of delivering the message in person. Monday the congress listened to the annual message on the "State of the Union." With it, the President combined his yearly budget message. He did not bring it up and read it himself. There was a good reason. The message was 75 pages long, and had 27,000 words. Three clerks read it in the House, alternating, and it took them almost three hours. The call bells brought most of the members to the floor at the start of the reading; but listeners melted away, and it took the call bells to get a quorum back. They melted away again, this time more quickly. Most members felt it was long, and that it would be easier to read the message, and understand the figures and the recommendations, than to try and grasp the details by listening to the clerks. I was invited to be on a weekly program called "Congress Speaks," and to comment on the message. I will repeat here, some of the things I said. Admitting all the good things in the message, and there were many, it was a political document familiar to professional politicians. message, the taxpayers have a staggering burden di­dional costs.

The voting resolution was introduced by Alexander Henry. Owens, the lateness of the hour it laid over for adoption at a recent meeting: "Whereas, the Heim Cooperative Beet Sugar Company has labored for more than four years in an effort to pay money for the purpose of building a sugar factory, and all efforts have been thus far in failures, and whereas by no of dissentions in said corruption it finds itself without and unable to raise monies to pay the ordinary expenses of the corporation; andreas there are now $4000 due debts incurred and no money is treasured with which to pay name; and whereas there is prospect that this corporation never be able to raise the amount of money necessary to the factory or to carry out objects for which the corporation was founded; therefore be solved that this corporation immediate steps to pay up debtedness and to disincorporate at the earliest possible moment. of the wags in Schillings' reels perpetrated a horrible upon an efficient street car when he said, after arriving in town he became deprived and threatened suicide. Withwith hied himself to the town limits of town and laid the track and waited patiently for six hours for the car to come along that would send him to destruction. He waited in vain, he said, and changing his mind, arose and took his departure for his hotel where he became reconciled and abandoned self-destruction. John Everhardy who has later opened up the Golden Eagle market in Los Angeles, was in town Sunday. He informs us he has met with very flattering success in his new venture. While in Santa Ana one day last week we took occasion to go out to the Willet's stables and see Silkwood. The famous horse is kept in a rude box stall, which we should judge was not good enough for an ordinary roadster. The place is unfit for a horse that has developed such wonderful speed and has become the pride of Orange county. At the last meeting of the city trustees the immediate necessity of increasing the electric light plant came up for discussion. More bonds will have to be voted by the people as something must be done to put in a larger plant. O. W. Bill of Garden Grove has sold his five acres to Mrs. Huntoon of Nevada. The consideration being $1500. There are several cases of measles in town, Mr. Dougherty's young son and Alex Wright's child being afflicted with the complaint. 25 Years Ago Our patrons at Santa Ana will please notice that W. H. Spurgeon, Esq., of that place is an authorized agent for the Gazette, to receive both money and subscriptions. On Monday night while the stage was tipping over on Center street, Dr. Heyerman's favorite buggy horse took fright and ran away at a fearful speed. Married—In this city on Sunday the 5th inst., by the Rev. P. Verdeguer at the Catholic church, Don Pedro Rivera to Senorita Guadalupe Manriguez. Admitting all the good things in the message, and there were many, it was a political document familiar to professional politicians since the beginning of the world; since Adam first ran for a city council. The President was again raising taxes, but he was for practically all appropriations. The message had something in it for everyone. If you didn't like the idea of socialized medicine; then perhaps you want federal aid to the schools, or school lunches. If you didn't want them, well, there were veterans' benefits, or an extended agricultural program, or something else. The President's only reference to legislation which would deal directly with the present strike situation was a recommendation which is not acceptable, either to labor or to industry. The message suggested that the budget would be balanced; yet if we adopt even a part of the "program" which accompanied the 25 Years Ago FEBRUARY 10, 1921 Three hundred acres in the vicinity of Buena Park boulevard in the country west of Anaheim, been leased to the Doheny company, according to a state-by J. McWilliams, a represeive of the company, who is in Anaheim. It is hoped being to have the desired 1,375 signed up in the company lease. The company was sent a test well within five days, according to the terms of lease. The principals in the recent Orchard county speeding case in Bebe Daniels, movie star, the leading role, attended American Legion benefit for war veterans given in Ellerton high school last evening. Miss Daniels was accused by Motorcycle Officer Verlyers a merry chase in an Orchard county boulevard at more than 50 miles an hour. Justice Cox of Santa Ana, before Miss Daniels will appear on March 17, and Motorcycle were among the spectators. Rogers, motion picture actress Pasha and Max Christie also appeared for the Arrangements for the men were made by Carl H. Herer, commander of Fuller-Street No. 142, American Leather and Mrs. Wayne Amack reside home Saturday and have begun housekeeping in their bungalow on West Broadway. They spent a week seeing the sights of southern California from an auto. Until she changed her name on Monday, Jan. 31, Mrs. Amack was Miss Fern Quarton. They announce that they are now home to their friends at 1133 West Broadway. The Kiwanis club held its weekly meeting at high school cafeteria Tuesday noon. Rev. G. R. Messias was the principal speaker and made an interesting address. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Adams entertained a number of friends on Monday evening in honor of Mr. Adams' cousins, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Hancock of Yakima, Wash. A pleasant game of cards was played and the hostess later served a delicious supper. Mrs. W. P. Quarton entertained the Wednesday Afternoon Whist club at her home on North Lemon street on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. H. Stock won the first prize, Mrs. Martin the second, and Mrs. Herman Backs the consolation. George Dunton of the Ford agency has signed contracts for the construction of the largest automobile garage in Orange county. The building will be erected on the southeast corner of Los Angeles and Adele streets, and will cost $30,000.

We have laid spotlessly clean—and are open for the public at all times. FINE ORCHESTRA AND DANCE You Will Delight in the NEW DIXIE CASTLE RESTAURANT HARRY & MARGE—Host and Hostess THINGTON As Seen By HESMAN JOHN PHILLIPS message, the taxpayers would have a staggering burden of additional costs. The budget will not be balanced if the Federal government keeps on picking up the check for everything. The President omitted many items. Our income is to be about 35 billion and our expenditures about 35 billion, so he said. He counted the money we hope to get from selling our surplus supplies as if it were income. Expenses were understated. The president spoke of 600 millions for UNRRA, for example, but the request he sent to "the Hill" called for twice that amount! Loans to foreign countries were not included, and if you think those will be paid back in full, you're more optimistic than I am. The folks at home are entitled to know more than was in the message; even if it went to 27,-100 words. I think they are entitled to know what is to become of our surpluses abroad; and that becomes of the foods and supplies we give UNRRA, which we don't know now; and why PA is permitted to retard production; and continually to derive the people; and just what promises have been made to other nations about loans (the information given us in the past—about the sterling bloc for example—turned out to be false) and why we must have 2,000,000 men under arms, a year from now; and if we are supposed to have another program of controlled suggestions put in to coax a few votes. I rise to remark, if congress needed any reminder that 1946 is an election year, it has had two, one in this message, and one in the "Rescission Bill," which recovered 51 billions previously appropriated to war agencies, but which the President vetoed because it would also have returned the U.S.E.S. to the supervision of the states. YOUTHS ESCAPE FROM STATE SCHOOL Joe Rodriquez, 18 years old, whose parents are reported to reside at 808 North Paulina street, is one of two inmates who escaped Tuesday from the Preston juvenile correction school at Ione, according to advice received by the police department here. There is no local record concerning when Rodriquez was committed to the school, nor the charge on which he was sentenced. Anaheim Gazette, since 1870. Local Man Hurt In Crash at Brea Gordon Muir, who resides at the Valencia hotel here and is employed at the Alpha Beta market in Pomona, is recovering from severe bruises about the head and chest, received in an automobile collision at Brea, Jan. 19. Muir's car was struck head-on by another, said by him to have been driven by George Carr of Brea. Muir says, the other car crossed onto the wrong side of the street in passing a truck. Both drivers were hospitalized. It was necessary for highway patrol men to extricate Muir, who was wedged between the steering post and the door, by the impact of the collision. Both cars, he said, were demolished. Muir was discharged in October, after 30 months in the Navy, 27 of which were spent overseas. He formerly was employed by Alpha Beta here.
