Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 TILL 'ER UP! Fill 'er up! That's the slogan of the motorist today. With war-time restrictions lifted on speed, gasoline and tires, motorists are harkening back to the good old days when full gas tanks and the open road beckoned on weekends. This is as it should be. But too many motorists have taken to some of their old, wild ways such as speeding, road-hogging and scores of other violations that daily are being totaled up into death scores. Slow down, be more careful. Remember that car you're driving today is not the model it was a few short years ago. The tires, in all probability, are dangerously thin; the engine is on the asthmatic side; and when pushed over speeds beyond 35 or 40 miles per hour, the old bus groans and whines in angry protest. Many of today's crashes can be laid directly to the inferior condition of the some 20 million post war cars we have on the road and whose drivers, now that the yoke of wartime restrictions have been lifted, feel its time to return to post war habits. LET'S SLOW DOWN! To cooperate with our law agencies we should make an effort to abide by the law instead of deliberately flaunting it and seeing how much we can get away with. Our downtown traffic problem isn't too serious by any means but it is our concern to show more respect for traffic regulations and not attempt to go breezing through the main city street as though we were on the Great Salt Flats in Utah or at Daytona Beach. After all, Center street is one of our busiest and most streets. Let's keep it tight and not make it a race see how fast we can speed town.

CHEVROLET DEALERS 215 North Los Angeles ANAHEIM GAZETTE IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago June 17, 1871 We are glad to see a general awakening among the people to a necessity of a division of this county. It is a measure which the Anaheim Gazette was the first newspaper to advocate, and the just claims of which should appeal to every sense and energy of our citizens. The present great inconvenience to people living remote from the county seat is by no means a minor claim for the division. Those who live sixty miles away have to travel the entire distance at an expense of at least $20 to pay their taxes, which sometimes (but seldom) amount to less than half that sum. When the board of supervisors is in session for equalization the same journey has to be made to rectify erroneous assessments. The attendance at the courts, as witnesses and on juries, and the commencement and conduct of suits at law, necessitate an expense that should, and probably does keep many people out of law altogether. The county and legislative slate is about made up for the campaign and any one with ordinary sagacity can already conclude who are the favorite candidates. It is equally sure that, in the main, the Democratic ticket will generally win, as their last majority in the county was 890 votes. Mr. A. Langenberger, after an absence of a year in Europe, arrived home on Tuesday last, bringing with him his three young daughters which have taken place here during his absence, and draws a favorable contrast between our and the foreign climates and regards our location as the most favorable on earth. Mr. Phil Davis has let the contract for the erection of a new two story residence on the site of the one lately burned, to Mr. George Williams, of Los Angeles. Work has been commenced on the foundation. It is to be a much finer building than the former one. Col. Strong has sent to this office a bunch of his growing cotton. The plants are about ten inches in height and have a very thrifty appearance. Mr. John Hanna will start his mammoth threshing machine on Monday with John Gwinn as head feeder. We have been shown by Mr. Rumble a flake of alluvial paste deposited as sediment by the Chapman ditch. By drying in the sun it has become curled up and hardened until it resembles putty. It is this substance that so enriches our lands at each overflow of the water. In this vicinity hay is rated at from $9 to $12 per ton, according to the amount on hand and to spare by producers. There is a strong suspicion that cattle stealing has been indulged in throughout this neighborhood for some time past. Two AUHS Science Students Honored Two Anaheim Union High school honor students, last week, received further honors when they received awards for the highest grades in school science courses. The two outstanding students, Adna Ruth Davis, honor society student and James Friis, valedicorian of the class of 1946, received recognition of their accomplishments when presented with award certificates of excellence by school vice principal, Frank Kellogg. Rowland Harris, received the award as the student doing the most outside work along science lines in connection with school science programs.
