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 MEMORIAL DAY Today marks a custom nearly eighty years old in which we pay homage to the nation's fallen heroes who died in order that we and our nation might live. It is fitting that we honor these men. But we can do them a greater service and express a deeper gratitude for their sacrifice by doing for the living—for their own families, their disabled buddies and the downtrodden peoples for whom they sought to win a better world. The only way we can repay in some small degree this vast silent army, is to see that their loved ones are adequately cared for; provide the mental, physical and spiritual aid their disabled buddies need and require to successfully rehabilitate themselves; and provide for those unfortunates occupying a war destroyed section of the world, starving through no fault of their own. Perhaps, were we to do these things, would all these boys whose last resting place is beneath a plain white cross, look down and cry, "Well Done!" THINK! THEN VOTE As the primary election of June 4 approaches, the voter is regaled with many pleas for support and favor on the part of the several candidates. Most of these candidates are put forward honestly and openly, with the thought of advancing to public attention the particular merits of the particular candidate. These IN THE DAY June 10, 1871 Perhaps no greater criticism judging the growth of the following school state May 1869, the whole number scholars enrolled in the schools was 21. The abraced in the school district tended from Los Coyotes to the north to the San Francisco on the south, and coast on the west to the tains on the east—a tract try half as large as the Rhode Island. The school kept in the old adobe building longing to the water There was not a desk, blackboard worthy of it in the room. In May 1869, whole number enrolled average daily attendance in school buildings consisted large frame buildings each, furnished with school furniture of the late Two teachers are now en and the school is divided departments—a primary grammar department. We last two years two new have been struck off Anaheim district; and then now embraces but little more the town and its environn town has made such pro two years of drought, such country has never known what must be its growth good years to come. Some time ago we were ed that the wild horses stock were to be removed the ranches. How is it and the downtrodden peoples for whom they sought to win a better world. The only way we can repay in some small degree this vast silent army, is to see that their loved STATE CONTROLLER THOMAS H. KUCHEL VOTE TO KEEP the incumbent Thomas H. Kuchel (pronounced Kee-kl) State Controller VETERAN WORLD WAR II Kuchel was appointed State Controller upon the death of Harry B. Riley THINK! THEN VOTE As the primary election of June 4 approaches, the voter is regaled with many pleas for support and favor on the part of the several candidates. Most of these candidates are put forward honestly and openly, with the thought of advancing to public attention the particular merits of the particular candidate. These campaigns, therefore, are worthy of the voters' interest and attention. Some they will pick will be elected at the primary and thus be the chosen representatives for specific years to follow. But when honesty is not a part of a campaign, when subterfuge becomes the keynote of a candidate, buffoonery results. Mockery of the American principle of fair play—in politics, too—should be frowned upon by the voter. In this campaign, Anaheim-born Thomas H. Kuchel is asking the electors to retain him as State Controller, the post to which he was appointed from the State Senate when Harry B. Riley died. Tommy Kuchel earned that post honorably and openly, after years of faithful and almost-unchallenged service to the people of this county. Opposing him is a man known as Harry E. Riley, new in politics and virtually unknown outside the South Gate electrical firm where he is employed. The similarity of his name with that of the late Harry B. Riley is confusing to some voters, who may think that they are casting their votes for the veteran public official who died unexpectedly. Beside the fact that the voters of this county owe a debt to Thomas H. Kuchel, who served them long and admirably, they should repudiate a candidate who seeks to trade on a dead man's name. The veterans administration employs 106,000 doctors, lawyers, actuarial experts, clerks and investigators. Let's do some figuring... WITH YOUR MONEY! What does it cost to borrow $100?

Bank of America NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION • MEMBER FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago June 10, 1871 Perhaps no greater criterion for judging the growth of Anaheim and vicinity can be found than the following school statistics: In May 1869, the whole number of scholars enrolled in the public schools was 21. The area embraced in the school district extended from Los Coyotes creek on the north to the San Joaquin rancho on the south, and from the coast on the west to the mountains on the east—a tract of country half as large as the state of Rhode Island. The school was kept in the old adobe building belonging to the water company. There was not a desk, table or blackboard worthy of the name in the room. In May 1871, the whole number enrolled was 103, average daily attendance 92. The school buildings consist of two large frame buildings 24 x 40 each, furnished with desks and school furniture of the latest style. Two teachers are now employed, and the school is divided into two departments—a primary and a grammar department. Within the last two years two new districts have been struck off from the Anaheim district; and the district now embraces but little more than the town and its environs. If our town has made such progress in two years of drought, such as the country has never known before, what must be its growth in the good years to come. Some time ago we were informed that the wild horses and all stock were to be removed from the ranches. How is it that only years. Her disease was cerebrospinal meningitis. At the last meeting of the board of supervisors a petition was received from Mr. A. L. Bush, of Santa Ana, praying for a new precinct to be established in San Joaquin township, also the bond of W. H. Spurgeon and others, for the purpose of holding the county harmless from expense on the opening of the same. Phil Hammes is offering for sale his forty acre vineyard with buildings, pipes, cattle and agricultural implements, for $12,000. Thirty-five acres are in vines and annually produce twenty thousand gallons of wine. The residence is large and commodious and surrounded by a beautiful flower garden and choice semitropical trees. The city marshal submitted his report to the city council for the month of May. It showed one arrest for insanity, two arrests for disorderly conduct, and two arrests for violation of city laws in tethering animals in the public streets. J. M. Guinn, Esq., principal of the grammar department of the Anaheim public schools, has resigned his place upon the county board of examiners. Mr. S. A. Gels of Los Angeles has been appointed in his stead. A school of petrified whale has been discovered on top of the coast range near Rubottoms, in this county. Nations Honors War Dead (Continued from Page 1) behind and on foreign shores. Local groups present at the cemetery here will include Daughters of American Revolution, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, Spanish War Veterans, Spanish War Veterans Auxiliary, Gold Star Mothers, Navy Mothers, Women's Relief Corps, Daughters of Union Veterans, Daughters of Confederacy, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, American Legion Auxiliary, and the local American Legion Post. Benediction at the cemetery will be given by the Rev. Hayden Sears, Methodist church and the Rev. Howard S. Congdon, pastor of the First Presbyterian church will hold the invocation. Bethel Baptist church quartet will sing selections and Carol McDermott will give a version of the Gettysburg address. Elizabeth Ann Sheehan will recite In Flanders Field. J. C. Mauerhan is chairman of the committee in charge of the program. Other members of the committee include William P. Webb and J. R. Walker. Today marks the 57th consecutive year the Gazette has printed the program used at the services, Mauerhan said. Memorial Day was first instituted nearly 80 years ago when a general order to honor soldier dead was issued by General John A. Logan, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic on May 5, 1868. The observance was originally intended for those who had died during the War Between the States but over the years it came to include the nation's gallant Firearms Museum Registered Investigator.

If our town has made such progress in two years of drought, such as the country has never known before, what must be its growth in the good years to come. Some time ago we were informed that the wild horses and all stock were to be removed from the ranches. How is it that only the poor harmless well-herded money-bringing sheep have been packed off, and the destroying horses yet remain? Died June 4th, after a severe illness of three weeks, at her home at Anaheim, Kate Parker, daughter of L. and K. Parker, aged 16 50 Years Ago June 11, 1896 The necessity for the enlargement of the electric light works is made more and more apparent every day. The city authorities have an application from the Del Campo people to install a hundred incandescent lights in that establishment. Vic Schumacher is considering the propriety of purchasing the Littlefield grove, and turning it into a picnic ground. Sunday's picnic there by the Turners' was the event of the season and Vic thinks he will be able to duplicate it many times during the coming summer. The idea is a good one and we hope to see it carried out. Jim Rimpau had a genuine surprise up his sleeve for his friends in town on his recent visit, although none of them anticipated his marriage so soon after his departure for Ontario, after remaining at home here for a day or two. Jim's marriage to Miss Minnie Alyse of Ontario on Tuesday last was reported in town the latter part of the week and the surprise was more complete when it was learned that he had purchased his furniture some weeks ago and had it stored in his rooms over the depot, where the happy couple are now residing. James Forbes, the well-known Placentia orchardist on Friday renounced his allegiance to Queen Victoria and became a citizen of the United States. Forbes will make a good citizen—the country needs more like him. Herman Dickel told us the other day that he expects to hear from headquarters that the change has recently been ordered. Oscar Martin, the unfortunate young man who was accidentally shot two weeks ago by the discharge of a shot gun while cultivating on Tim Boege's place west of town, died at the residence of William Schwenckert at 10 o'clock last Friday night from lock-jaw. Marshal Steadman had a busy time of it Sunday, and ran in four offenders against the peace and dignity of the city, one particularly aggravated case. The accused on being liberated from jail on bail after some hours of incarceration, making an attempt to cut him with a knife. A blow upon the head with an officer's club decided him to quiet down and go home peaceably. On his solemn promise never to repeat his actions when he comes to town we have reluctantly consented to suppress all further reference to the affair. Henry Oelkers was untiring in his efforts to entertain guests at the Turner's picnic Sunday. The grove was crowded with people from Los Angeles, San Diego and other nearby towns. A special train from Los Angeles served to crowd the grounds as never before. Mrs. Theodore Rimpau and daughter, Miss Mary, have gone to Tia Juana to spend a month's outing at the springs.

Miss Ella Gardiner is acting as agent at the telegraph office during Mrs. Lane's temporary absence. She is putting up interesting bulletins from the St. Louis convention in front of the post-office. 25 Years Ago June 9, 1921 A lumber schooner, the first to enter Newport bay in 20 or 25 years, and the first ever to enter under conditions as they now obtain at Orange county harbor, on Monday was tied up at the syndicate wharf at the foot of Third Street, Newport Beach, discharging a cargo of 175,000 feet of lumber to be used in the construction of thirty houses of four and five rooms each in the south Santa Ana sub-division in the Costa Mesa district. The sub-division was opened by W. A. Irvin of Newport Beach. The cargo was being unloaded on the wharf. The rough lumber being loaded upon trucks for transportation to the tract and the finished material being stored in the warehouse. The lumber was brought into the bay on the Albion, of Port Los Angeles. The boat arrived at the dock at 7 o'clock Sunday evening, delay being occasioned by the vessel going on the harbor just outside the entrance, due, it was said, to an error on the part of those in charge. Adolph Thomas, president of the Golden State bank of Anaheim, was elected president of the Northern Orange County Bankers' association at the annual meeting held at the Farmers' and Merchants' National bank of Fullerton.

Miss Frances Schumacher, daughter of Mrs. Frank Gates, and Firearms Must Be Registered With Investigator The Alcohol Tax Unit, Bureau of Internal Revenue, is charged with enforcement of the National Firearms Act. This act deals with the importation, registration, possession, sale or transfer by any means of certain types of firearms, imposes a tax of $200 on each transfer, and provides a penalty not to exceed $2,000 or imprisonment not to exceed five years, or both, in event a person is convicted on a charge of violating any provisions of the act. Failure to register weapons covered by this law or the transfer of such weapons without payment of the transfer tax is a violation of the act. The basic purpose of the statute is the regulation and control of the traffic in machine guns, semi-machine guns, fully automatic pistols, or any type of gun that will expel more than one shot or bullet with a single pull of the trigger. It also includes rifles and shotguns with barrels less than 18 inches in length and all firearms equipped with a silencer or muffler, and is aimed at preventing firearms such as above described from falling into the hands of gangsters, rackets, bank robbers and other criminals. Until our armed forces were deployed over the world in connection with prosecution of World War II, guns of the type mentioned presented no particular hazard to law enforcement officers, or the public of this country. In October, 1943, the Bureau of Customs outlined a procedure which permitted members of our armed services to import California Centennials California will shortly begin to celebrate a series of "centennials" commemorating the colorful days of her early history. The first of these will be the California Bear Flag Centennial celebration to be held at Sonoma on June 14-16 recalling the occasion in 1846 when the banner was first hoisted in the Bear Flag revolt. The United States Postmaster General has been asked to issue a Bear Flag stamp for the anniversary. This request should be granted. The Bear Flag revolt was not only important to California in that it helped pave the way for statehood, but it was also vital to the country as a whole since it prevented the seizure of this rich territory by one of dominant European powers of that era. Among other centennials coming up during the next few years are the discovery of gold on January 24, 1848, and the admission of California to the Union on September 9, 1850. Besides these, there will be many others of local importance to the communities where the great drama of the late 1840's was enacted. For the next few years California is going to be "centennial conscious!" Young men just out of high school are flocking to the army recruiting station, 109 City Hall, Fullerton, to take advantage of new educational opportunities.

Until our armed forces were deployed over the world in connection with prosecution of World War II, guns of the type mentioned presented no particular hazard to law enforcement officers, or the public of this country. In October, 1943, the Bureau of Customs outlined a procedure which permitted members of our armed services to import into this country as war trophies certain enemy equipment, including firearms of the type described in the National Firearms Act. Such importations were permitted providing certificates were first obtained from the service man's commanding officer and presented to the customs officer, before whom the service man would appear and execute what is known as form 6 (firearms), which is an application for importation of firearms. In cases where the weapon was mailed or shipped by a member of the armed services to a friend or relative to be held until the owner returned to this country, the Bureau of Customs procedure permitted the friend or relative to file the form 6 (firearms) on behalf of the actual owner. Under this procedure, the execution of form 6 (firearms) covering the importation of a weapon is construed as the registration of same. The investigator in charge for the southern California Alcohol Tax Unit is W. E. Dresser with offices at 902 Subway Terminal Building, Los Angeles 13, California. If you possess a firearm covered by the National Firearms Act, or are holding one pending the return of the owner, you are required to communicate promptly with the office nearest you and you will be contacted by the officer in charge.
