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 ABRAHAM LINCOLN Although more than four score years have passed since that fateful night in April 1865 when an assassin's bullet cut short the earthly career of Abraham Lincoln, his place in the hearts and minds of his countrymen as one of the nation's great heroes was never more secure. This tall, gaunt man with the deep-set, brooding eyes, who was born in a humble log cabin and rose to the highest office in the land, was no ordinary individual. Yet few sons in American history have so embodied the noble qualities of the common man as did he. His genial wit and wisdom, his simplicity and earthiness, his patience and humility—his love of country and humanity — these were the things that have so deeply endeared him to the people. That pious plan somehow failed to click, and has never been brought up again, so far as we can learn. The truth of this charming custom may be explained via the birds and the bees—especially the birds. In the Middle Ages everybody believes the birds began to choose their mates on February 14, St. Valentine's birthday. So it naturally became the appropriate day to exchange lovers' greetings. Anyhow, if you are single and in love, you won't forget to mail a sweet and sentimental Valentine card to your darling. If you are a married man, DON'T forget! BOY SCOUT WEEK Boy Scout Week, celebrated from February 8 to 14, is an occasion when the American people should really stop, look and listen. deep-set, brooding eyes, who was born in a humble log cabin and rose to the highest office in the land, was no ordinary individual. Yet few persons in American history have so embodied the noble qualities of the common man as did he. His genial wit and wisdom, his simplicity and earthiness, his patience and humility—his love of country and humanity — these were the things that have so deeply endeared him to the people of America. A cold appraisal of the historical records reveals that Lincoln possessed no magic powers, and that at times he was bewildered, indispassive and blundering. Sometimes his moods probed the depths of pressure, at others, they shattered the heights of inspiration. Through it all—through the ear and flow of his spirits, his political and family fortunes—his true greatness gradually emerged until it reached full expression and marked him as an outstanding figure of the ages. In observing his 137th birthday anniversary on February 12, the American people honor him as the preserver of the Union, as the friend of all humanity. BE MY VALENTINE! It being the mission of a newspaper to report as well as to exhort, we present the fruit of a lifetime of research into the true origin of St. Valentine's Day, gleaned from experts in the field. Way back in Roman times, young men and women drew names by lot on a February feast day to determine who'd be whose sweetheart the next year. The early Christian Fathers thought that custom frivolous, and substituted the drawing of saints' names by lot, the idea being each young person would emulate the virtues of the saint drawn by him or her. BOY SCOUT WEEK Boy Scout Week, celebrated from February 8 to 14, is an occasion when the American people should really stop, look and listen. They should stop to realize just what a great work is being done by the Boy Scouts of America in building better character in our rising generation. They should look at the results already obtained and they should listen to the plea for greater cooperation and support of this outstanding youth movement. There is always a need for men who have the interests of American youth at heart to serve as leaders—to help prepare the boys of today to be good citizens of tomorrow. The Boy Scouts of America is an ideal channel through which to inculcate in many of our young people the principles of democracy, tolerance and understanding. Every lad who belongs to the Boy Scouts must be the better for it. But even more extensive and more effective work will be achieved as the public realizes more fully the scope and value of the activities now being carried on. On the occasion of Boy Scout Week the nation is especially proud of its Boy Scouts—and they are especially proud of their nation. Six per cent of all drivers involved in fatal traffic accidents in 1944 were youngsters under 18 years of age, the National Safety Council reports.

LOLY JEWELER 124 W. CENTER ST. ANAHEIM, CAL. OPEN SATURDAYS UNTIL 9 P.M. FEBRUARY 17, 1921 The proposition to pave a block of three much used alleys was under discussion by the city trustees at the regular meeting Thursday night and City Manager Sirward was instructed to prepare plans and specifications. Mr. Sirward was also requested to present the matter of paving Charles street to property owners that thoroughfare, and to secure signatures of the owners. The three alleys ordered paved area follows: The alley between Centerville and Broadway running from Claudina to Philadelphia, some of the old city hall. The alley between Broadway and Santa Ana street, running from Los Angeles to Claudina north of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon association packing house. The alley between Center and Chartres street running from Lemon to Clemmettine, north of the Roberts bloom. Theodore Roberts, who owns most of the property on this alley, registered a vigorous objection to paving it. He thinks the cost would pay for it. The cost would be about 20 cents per square foot. A resolution declaring the intention of the trustees to purchase the Dickel property for city park was adopted and is published in this issue of the Gazette. There was a rumor some time ago that an injunction suit would be filed to stop proceedings in the park matter but as no steer have yet been taken it is probable that anything will be done.

Max Strobel, mayor of Anaheim, was last week added to the bar as an attorney counselor-at-law in the 17th district of the state of California after due examination on board of lawyers, composed by Cassell, Keiven and Ganahl. Mr. Strobel has one way and other acquired considerable knowledge of law and the California statutes, and being posed of great natural ability, it reasonably be expected that he will make his mark in the school report shows the total number of pupils enrolled in two schools as 100. The daily large attendance being 90. The living pupils were named on roll of honor: Herman C. Albert Rimpau, Charles Luke, Frederick Rimpau, Min-Calisher, Addison P. Dyer, Rust, Ettie Bremmerman, Rimpau, Frank Rimpau, T. Schmidt, William Splin, John Hartung, Oscar Henry Kuchel, Emma Nellie Kuchel, Anna Fischfelicidad Carrillo, Edelfridaallo and Nick Bittner. In the United States senate, 23, Senator Cassuly present-petition of citizens of Anaheim and San Bernardino askingvey of the harbor at Anaheim and the appropriation of $2500 for its improvement. We are indebted to Mr. Mendelson who has just arrived from Lower California, for some rich specimens of gold quartz brought by him from that region, which we opine are the richest ever brought into this country, exceeding in richness the famous Vulture mine in Arizona. These specimens are from the Angel Cana mine, situated in San Raphal valley, about 100 miles from San Diego. A large quantity of wedding cake has reached the Gazette office from the village of Santa Ana. We presume somebody has been committing matrimony in that vicinity. Lumber has been reduced to $28 per thousand feet by the old established firm of Langenberger, Blackman & Co. The following was shipped from Anaheim to San Francisco by steamer California on Feb. 12: 53 pipes of wine, 12 puncheons wine, one pipe brandy, one bbl. eggs, 60 hides, 200 sacks corn, five sacks flax seed. On Sunday morning last an Indian woman by the name of Ana Maria de Duonte, fell dead in front of her home near Los Angeles street. Cause, rupture of the heart. House Shortage Relief in Sight Continued from Page 1 State Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel, in which he asked concerning possibility of temporary housing for such men and their families, through state aid. STATE MAY AID Senator Kuchel, who is attending the special session of the legislature in Sacramento, replied that the federal government is undertaking to provide such facilities, but underwrites on specific items of cost. The state, Kuchel added, would provide 90 per cent of such expense, provided a bill now pending, and which he believes will be passed, becomes a law. Senator Kuchel explained that the city must initiate the action, and the present result came from action on that recommendation. He also suggested that local federal authorities be contacted. Moeller called FHA headquarters in Los Angeles Monday and learned that those allotted to Anaheim are both single and multiple-occupant units, but the exact nature of their construction had not then been learned. REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE He learned also that field representatives of the authority visit Anaheim "within days." The city, Moeller was must provide land for these to occupy, together light, water and sewage service to the curb lines federal and state governors. Moeller believes will take expense of connecting the sewer outlets within the house. The city owns several readily available as location the housing facilities.

Lloyd Bailey's new residence on the southeast corner of Broadway and Claudina is nearing completion and when completed will be a handsome addition to the homes in the neighborhood. The Pasadena Star has entered upon its tenth volume. Charlie Gardiner was once the editor of the Gazette—one reason why the "Star" is such an excellent paper. Henry Albrecht has two new contracts for dwellings, one for Charlie Ramella and the other for Arthur Porter who will erect a neat residence. New dwellings are constantly being erected in our midst and we are on the upward grade. The young son of Mr. and Mrs. Rex Cayce is seriously ill with pneumonia. Work will soon be commenced upon the new residence of Drug-gist Derge on Broadway and when finished it will be one of the best looking homes in that vicinity. P. J.

Wait Till They Hear, 'Anaheim-Azusa-Cucamonga' SASEBO, Japan. — Marine attempts at answering the Japanese "O-hee-o" (good morning) has produced interesting results, according to Technical Sergeant Charles B. Cunningham, a Marine Corps correspondent. A "San Fran-cees-co" was found by Marines to be a highly acceptable return to the average Jap. Another popular salutation is a happily shouted "Dubuque, Iowa" while strings of U.S. city names like "Cleveland, Columbus, Akron" is yet another form of greeting that seemingly has wide Jap approval. Although the Japanese language obviously has our Marine occupation troops completely baffled, apparently our own language has its mysteries for the Japanese as well.
