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 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 REGISTER TO VOTE With rapid approach of the deadline for filing by candidates for office, it might be well to remind voters that they, too, have a deadline to meet. If they have changed their address or name, or if they did not vote in the last direct primaries or general election, they must register. The deadline for so doing varies in different counties. In Orange county it is April 25. Recently, newspapers have devoted a lot of space to accounts of the presidential election in Argentina where the question of democracy versus fascism hung in the balance. There, voting impulsory, which has much to recommend it. But we, as Americans, object to being compelled to vote, hence such a law would be vastly unpopular here. Recently one of our armed services released through theater a film which carried a GI through war-torn Europe where he saw for himself the value of a freedom which had always belonged to him and his forefathers, but which he had not taken seriously until he saw others deprived of it. The lesson conveyed by that picture should be taken to heart by every American, particularly in these days when the average citizen's only voice in government is the ballot he is privileged to wield. He can only exercise that privilege by registering to vote before the June primaries. Therefore registering becomes as much an obligation and a duty as does voting itself. We urge you, therefore, as a good American citizen, to register at once, regardless of your party preference. Registering IN THE DAY MARCH 25, 1871 Many of our citizens talk cutting down the evergreen trees that form the hedges along their vineyards and placing bows fences in their stead. Tree hedges of such magnificent growth these of Anaheim should be allowed to remain, not only on count of their use as a fence but for the picturesque beauty they add to the city. The green lanes and streets of all that portion of the city not occupied by business purposes should be carefully preserved in all their glory. If they are cut down Anaheim will lose one of her principal charms. "Woodman spare tree." There is much need of a school on the Bolsas, at the Sears element. There are 20 families living there who have upwarded 30 children. The Williams' element has about the same number and schools should be established in both places at once. The hotel and boarding house opposition in Anaheim is assuring amusing features. At home of mealtime huge bells are gled with great display from three houses 80 feet apart, with all this fuss it is selved that any poor victim is lured strange hash. The Anaheim school library has been increased by the addition of 50 volumes, mostly juvenile literature. This makes a total of 250 volumes in the library.

We urge you, therefore, as a good American citizen, to register at once, regardless of your party preference. Registering does not obligate you to vote the way you register. In the privacy of the poll at the general election in November you can voice the connections that have crystalized between now and then. But the privacy of the poll is not your's unless you have registered. So do now! MENT PAROLEES The state department of mental hygiene announces it seeks homes in the rural area of California for 200 paroled patients from mental institutions. It stresses that a bill recently signed by Governor Warren increases to $45 a month each the amount the state will pay for maintenance of these people, in addition to providing necessary clothing, medical care and money for incidentals. Mayhap the experts will brand us as old-fashioned, but practice of "farming out" such persons raises a lot of questions in our mind. They apply to the patient and to the person in whose home he or she is placed. While each is declared "harmless," that is not a subject on which even an expert always can be sure. The writer would want to know a lot about the background of a mental case before he would be willing to bring one to live in daily—and nightly—contact with his family. On the other hand, some unscrupulous persons might have his thoughts more on the $45-a-month income than on the parolee's welfare. If the state needs rural homes for such persons, it should provide them. It also should provide suitable supervision and proper care for these unfortunates, rather than to shuttle them off on the questionable mercy of persons unacquainted with what is necessary for their wellbeing. The state owes them that debt, as American citizens; and it also owes other citizens assurance that such persons have proper supervision to see to it that none has opportunity to commit an act for which they cannot be held responsible. Now that the circular fluorescent tube is destined to lend itself to traditionally-styled floor and table lamps, Miss Myrtle Fahsbender, director of home lighting for Westinghouse, predicts these three possible arrangements: fluorescent paired off with a diffusing bowl and three-light incandescent bulb; fluorescent in combination with a reflector-type incandescent bulb; all fluorescent. An unprecedented program for long distance expansion An unprecedented program for long distance expansion Thousands of miles of new circuits will be built on the Pacific Coast During 1945, we handled more than 205 million long distance calls... an increase of some 34 million over the previous year. That means we handled close to a million calls every day. To meet the ever-increasing demand, we are now making an unprecedented expansion in long distance facilities on the Pacific Coast. Thousands of miles of new circuits are being built; special vacuum tube equipment is being installed to boost the number of calls existing lines can handle; new toll and long distance switchboards are being added. We're expanding long distance facilities in many ways and preparing for the many new improvements to come. We're on our way to providing a better long distance service than you ever dreamed possible. Southern California Telephone Company 217 North Lemon Telephone 2101 IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago MARCH 25, 1871 Many of our citizens talk of going down the evergreen will that form the hedges along vineyards and placing boards in their stead. Tree hedges such magnificent growth as of Anaheim should be allowed to remain, not only on account of their use as a fence, for the picturesque beauty added to the city. The green and streets of all that port-of-the city not occupied for less purposes should be care-preserved in all their glory. They are cut down Anaheim close one of her principal uses. "Woodman spare that here is much need of a school like Bolsas, at the Sears set-in. There are 20 families there who have upwards of children. The Williams' set-in has about the same num- and schools should be estab- in both places at once. The hotel and boarding house station in Anaheim is assum-musing features. At hours sealtime huge bells are jin- with great display from houses 80 feet apart, and all this fuss it is seldom any poor victim is lured to the hash. Anaheim school library has increased by the addition volumes, mostly juvenile sure. This makes a total of volumes in the library. Here is a marine item. Last Wednesday we noticed an item that would have made the Star man stand on his head for joy—the same being a drunken Indian lying unconscious in the tide of a swiftly flowing zanja. The steamer William Taber in a fog yesterday morning, ran on Point San Pedro, thumped heavily three times, but through the coolness of the captain and officers got off. The only damage was a leak which will necessitate conckling her. The passengers signed a testimonial to the captain, considering their lives saved by his coolness and skill. Three of the crew were sent ashore in irons at San Luis Obispo, for having stolen a keg of wine and becoming so intoxicated as to be unable to do their duty. At the meeting of the board of supervisors on the 21st the petition of S. S. Dunnels & Co. for wharf franchise at Newport, after testimony was taken and argument heard, was granted. On Tuesday we noticed 47 square looking boys going on the double quick from Mr. Guinn's school down Center street. The lot appeared to average four feet in height and 15 inches in width. They were of a nut-brown color and well clad. In about three years these young roosters will become sparkable young men after which dull times in the social element of Anaheim will cease. Sam Collins Will Seek Reelection After having indicated that he would be a candidate for attorney general at the coming state election, Assemblyman Sam L. Collins of Fullerton had a change of mind and filed to succeed himself in the state legislature. If successful in seeking return to the assembly, Collins is considered in line for choice as Republican floor leader. Formerly a congressman, Collins has represented this district for many years as a member of the state assembly. William J. Hansow Buried Saturday Funeral services for William J. Hansow, age 69 years, were held on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the chapel of Hilgenfeld mortuary with the Rev. J. K. Jung, pastor of Grace Lutheran church of this city, officiating.

Test pipe put in for the water company by Gus Schade near Browning's place last day served an interesting illusion of the hydro-static parapet. The pressure in the pipe it observes a slight incline the upper end and joins to a section of pipe on level, proved too great to stand the sudden rush of water it burst at the connective with a loud report, spraying water high in the air. Artists will be put in and test made, when it is exerted will work all right. Philip Davis was thrown from his buggy while driving in Brea canyon some 11 miles from town on Sunday morning and sustained the fracture of his left arm, his face was also badly bruised, and before assistance arrived he laid on the grass at the edge of the road some three hours. A passing teamster brought him to Fullerton whence he was sent to town in one of Jenning's rigs.
