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 SMALL BUSINESS LOANS Sharp pick-up in lending to small business in this area is reported by the RFC, whose activities in cooperation with local banking institutions have recently been expanded by absorption of the Smaller War Plants corporation's lending division. Hector C. Haight, RFC regional manager, said an increasing number of inquiries are coming from small plants wishing to enlarge their facilities and from small firms setting up new plants here. All such inquiries are first referred to regular banking channels, but RFC will participate up to 75 per cent in such loans if desired the bank; or, if the bank is not able or does not advance the funds asked for, RFC will consider the application directly. "A year ago," the RFC mana-ger said, "our small loans were generally for the purpose of war production, the year's smallest being for $300 to a man wanting to put a machine into his garage for work on a small subcontract. "The trend now has swung to civilian activities such as trailer repair, laundry service, and frozen food distribution. Recent RFC financing has ranged from loans to a large metal-working plant needing a million dollars in additional capital, to a $250 loan to a returned veteran who wanted tools to start a gardening service for home owners." While RFC makes loans of all sizes, Haight declared that the majority of them always have been in the lower barcets, 87.8 per cent being less than $100,000 and about 40 per cent less than $10,000.

The greatest danger in America and to America today is the tendency of too many citizens to do too little thinking about too many vital issues. We Americans are inclined to become absorbed in our immediate problems — getting a job, building a house, raising a family. These things are certainly important, but in dealing with them we must not lose sight of the great issues that sooner or later will deeply—and adversely—affect our own lives and our children's unless faced squarely now. What goes on in Iran, Indonesia, Greece seems so far away, so unimportant. Why bother ourselves about it? But we should not forget that what happened in China in 1931, in Ethiopia in 1935, in Spain in 1936, and in Austria in 1938, and even in Poland in 1939—all seemed far away and not important to us at the time. But finally we caught up with those events, or rather, they caught up with us. And when they did, they cost us the lives and limbs of tens of thousands of our finest young men. We had been too busy living our own little lives, looking out for our own immediate interests to realize what was going on in the world. In other words, we didn't bother to think things out. We had better do some thinking now—hard thinking, clear thinking. Because we have won a war doesn't mean that we have won the peace. In fact, there is every indication that we are already losing the peace, and losing it rapidly. There is no substitute for thinking. Without it, there can be no intelligent, constructive action. Without it there can be no real and enduring peace. Think, America, think! IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago APRIL 22, 1871 The date of the city election is approaching and considerable interest is being taken, there being three tickets in the field. A caucus attended by 45 people was held Saturday, but some of those present appeared to be over enthusiastic, as 60 ballots were deposited in the hat. The following ticket was nominated: for mayor, Henry Kroeger; for councilmen, P. Davis, A. Bittner, Tim Boege, J. P. Zeyn, E. W. Champlin; for assessor, Richard Melrose; for city attorney, Dr. J. F. A. Heyerman; for marshal, J. J. Hill; for treasurer, Richard Heiman. Wednesday another caucus was held and a second ticket put in the field as follows: for mayor, S. J. Davis; for councilmen, John Fischer, E. W. Champlin, Obed Macy, J. P. Zeyn, A. Bittner; for assessor, R. Melrose; for marshal, Mr. Byrd, for treasurer, Theodore Rimpau; for city attorney, Dr. D'Assonville. Furthermore, a ticket was nominated by petition signed by 22 citizens as follows: for mayor, S. J. Davis; for councilmen, Theodore Reiser, Phil Davis, Tim Boege, J. P. Zeyn, A. Bittner; for treasurer, Theodore Rimpau; for marshal, George H. Horn; for assessor, R. Melrose; for city attorney, F. W. Kuelp. Of the three candidates for city attorney, two are physicians and one a clerk. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the trustees of the Anaheim Water company held Saturday, April 15, 1871, an assessment of ten dollars per share was levied upon the capital stock of said company, payable immediately in U.S. gold coin to F. Dr. J. A. F. Heyerman has sold to Joseph Backs 10 acres of land in Anaheim for $250. Messrs. Porter and McFadden at their place two miles south of Santa Ana, succeeded in getting a good flow of artesian water by boring 40 feet deep, the water rising to the height of 11 feet above the earth's surface. This is the first effort to obtain artesian water south of the Santa Ana river and its success has encouraged others to try the experiment of boring artesian wells, the success of which will be duly reported. A Mr. Lynch, agent of the Land company, has posted a small printed slip on the Pioneer Livery stable in Anaheim, stating that the editor of this paper has attempted to blackmail him and his company. He also attempts to ridicule us a lawyer and an editor. Our reply is that this Lynch is a liar, a coward and a dirty dog. Mr. Alonzo Coons, local telegraph operator, has left Anaheim to take charge of the repeating office at Petrlopolis, above Los Angeles, and Mr. H. D. Polhemus will hereafter have charge of the telegraph office at this point.

ONE WORKER'S VIEW A returned serviceman, who is back on his job with one of America's railroads, recently voiced a sane and sensible view of some of the major post-war problems now plaguing the country, when he wrote, in the Railworkers Journal, a labor publication: "We must get back on the track, fire up the boiler, get up a full head of steam and get a rolling again at top speed, at a greater speed than ever before in our history. We veterans want to buy homes, cars, radios and all of the nice things that we Americans know so well how to produce. "Our government can give us nothing that it does not take away from us, now or later on. "We do not subscribe to any of the socialistite theories which pretend to prescribe a formula for living without work. We know that in the past, America's prosperity was built by work and that if we are going to have postwar prosperity, work is the only thing that will achieve it for us. "Sure we want high wages for our work—just as high as the employers can afford to pay us. But we do not want high wages for a small amount of work. "We are not economists, yet we know that higher wages without increased production will run up prices of commodities and put them beyond our reach. We want to be able to buy the things we produce, in the good old American style." The 22 Swiss states differ from each other in early every point—religion, politics, industry, language. "Seaweed"—dulse, Irish moss, kelp—is used in the manufacture of insulating and upholstering material. Job Printing, Gazette, Phone 206. Horn; for assessor, R. Melrose; for city attorney, F. W. Kuelp.

S. gold coin to F. Schneider, treasurer, at his residence, corner of Palm and North streets. 50 Years Ago APRIL 23, 1896 Seventy-five votes were polled at the Republican primary election on Saturday—more probably than ever cast at a primary in Anaheim. No special interest centered in the result, although seven candidates contested for five delegates' places. The result was as follows: George Boyd, 49; C. E. Groat, 63; E. B. Merritt, 58; Fred Smythe, 54; Frank Shanley, 58; W. A. Witte, 39; A. M. Williams, 23. The Ruhman building is being painted and made ready for occupancy. It is one of the handsomest buildings in town. It will be occupied shortly by Schauman's Implement house and Seale's grocery in the north and south storerooms, the center one not having been rented as yet. P. J. Weisel and family have returned from their trip abroad after an absence of a year. Mr. Weisel is glad to get back to Anaheim and will make this city his home. Complaint is made of horses that are permitted to run at large in the cemetery, destroying flower-beds, plants, etc. A word to the authorities ought to be sufficient to keep these horses out of the cemetery, and we hope we shall not have to speak of this matter again. Quite a heavy shower of rain fell on Tuesday night shortly before midnight, continuing for about half an hour, and late parties out on bicycles got wet.

The company employs none but experienced searchers, and furnishes on short notice abstracts and certificates of title to all lands in this county. A scarcity of chickens is reported all on account of the Los Angeles fiesta. 25 Years Age APRIL 21, 1921 Office rooms to rent in this city appear to be as scarce as vacant houses and residences. Undeterred by his failure to find a room, an enterprising gentleman has opened a real estate office in a Ford sedan on East Center street. He is rather cramped for quarters but he has an advantage over all other office renters—if he doesn't like his neighbors he can pull the throttle, step on the accelerator, vanish from where he is and appear in some other locality without disarranging his office fixtures. The proposal to disincorporate the city of Stanton was defeated by a large majority at the polls Tuesday. The vote for disincorporation was 83 and against 125. On May 20 a recall election will be held, in which an effort will be made to oust three trustees and the city clerk. Last Friday Bebe Daniels, famous motion picture star, came down from her Hollywood home and surrendered to Sheriff Jackson and stated that she was ready to serve the ten-day sentence in jail imposed by Judge Cox, the stony-hearted minion of the law, for speeding on an Orange county boulevard. She was given in charge of Bud Lacy who led her to the cell where she now languishes. Miss Bebe is being treated a little better than ordinary prisoners. Her cell has been cleaned and a Persian rug put on the floor, an ivory bedroom set brought in, also a Victrola and 150 records. A uniformed French flunky brings in her meals from St. Ann's Inn and there is no limit to the gifts of flowers, candy, etc, she is permitted to accept. Her first visitor was Judge Cox who brought a huge bouquet and who, after a few moments' conversation, went out and bought another one for her. It is said Miss Daniels will write a book on her experiences. Mrs. Edgar Hartung entertained the Ladies' Euchre club at her home on Sunkist avenue Wednesday afternoon. Miss Anna Ryan proved to be the champion euchre player, while Mrs. F. A. Backs, Jr., was second best. The consolation prize was given to Miss Dora Zeyn.

Nelson at Kiwanis Meeting The cause of inflation and the inflationary conditions prevalent during World War I and II were described at the regular programmeeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club at the Elks club last Tuesday with William Claussen, president, presiding. Guest speaker was Elmer S. Nelson, group service specialist with the Office of Price Administration. Activities during the business meeting included the presentation of guests. P. A. Grand introduced Bud Hargraves of Citrus Transportation, and Norb Fassell introduced Ralph Maslander, sales representative for Crown-Willamette Paper Co., and Bill McDermitt presented W. H. Hitchcock, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers. A special program was presented by E. T. Bradley who introduced Mrs./ Margaret Buttree, one of a committee on county auditions for young music students. Mrs. Buttree presented Genevieve Bradley who interpreted two piano solos and a violin selection accompanied by Ramona Holme. Also present was Dona Thomas, Anaheim musician. Homer Nelson, program chairman, introduced guest speaker Nelson. His topic was "California Faces the Threat of Inflation." In opening he described the economic cycles which took place after every war which led to inflation as in World War I when there was no rationing or price control, creating a short transition period of only a little more than a year. Contrasting with this chaotic condition he pointed out that, during World War II, because of price control and ratloning, the reconversion was slow, giving the nation's industries time to become fully reconverted to peace-time production. He emphasized that, in the future, the way congress voted during the forthcoming election on price control would determine whether inflation would rise to new cataclysmic heights. Nelson further pointed out that this summer many people will want to move to the west coast to live, most of them financially able to buy homes or land. As long as this demand continues to exist, the inflation will be greater on property. He estimated that this period would last approximately two years and then gradually level off. Well qualified to speak on this subject, Nelson was formerly a staff member at the University of California at Los Angeles, where he gave courses in economics, money and banking, foreign trade and transportation. He was educated at the University of Southern California and at Yale university. Purse Snatcher Sought Here Mrs. Elsie B. Carr, Apt. F., 320 E. Commonwealth, Fullerton, who is employed at the McNary Refrigeration company's store, Tuesday placed her purse on a counter, and when she went back to pick it up, it was gone. Mrs. McNary said the purse contained $9 in change and personal papers. Police suspect a large woman who was in the store at the time. She was wearing a cloth coat and gave only the name Harris as identification. The woman claimed she came to see about a refrigerator. Police are investigating the theft. Wayne Mack will shortly begin the erection of a bungalow court on North Olive street which will contain 14 apartments. Every boy in Anaheim is invited to enter a bicycle race in Pete Wissor's sporting goods house. Pete furnishes the bike and allows each contestant ten minutes' time. Splendid prizes will be given. Publisher’s Assn. Manager Passes Miss Edith R. Allen who for the past twenty years has managed the Los Angeles office of the California Newspaper Publishers association passed away at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. last Friday night, following an operation on her optic nerve. She had been slowly going blind for some time past and finally sought relief in surgery. Miss Allen was widely known in newspaper circles in southern California. She had many close friends in Orange county and had visited here on numerous occasions. She formerly published the Norwalk Call until it was sold last year to the present owners.
