With days set aside for many other things in this time and age, it is only fitting that we remember Dad in a special way too. The knee-high "small fry" who helps tie flies for Dad when they are fishing together, or helps probe into the greasy innards of the family bus, when the motor acts up and even gets as much censure as Dad, when they both troop into Mother's spotless kitchen, generally messing things up, carries treasures with him that time will never erase. Today, just as it was nearly three decades ago, many a youngster will have only the name and photograph of a father he never got to know. For Dad unselfishly gave his life so that his son's boy and many more like him, preserve, protect and honor America as "one Nation, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Few instances are recorded in history where Old Glory was ever lowered. They have occurred. Batan, Corregldor still bring tears to the eyes of those who suffered there. But even though lowered against overwhelming odds the Flag has always gone back up. Higher, stronger and now, more certainly than ever, as a beacon the world over for nations seeking a better world.

For Dad unselfishly gave his life so that his son’s boy and many more like him, would have the memories of a father that he had when he was a youngster. So let us remember Dad this Sunday. Show him he means something more than just being the breadwinner of the family. OUR FLAG Tomorrow is Flag Day. Every American, native or adopted, or even one of the many who declare “I am an American” but are so in name only, should renew his pledge of allegiance to the Flag and “to the Republic for which it stands.” This pledge can be fulfilled by being loyal to our duties as citizens; by putting the welfare of our country above selfish interests; and by expressing patience and tolerance in our dealings with others. Only in this way can we help against overwhelming odds the Flag has always gone back up. Higher, stronger and now, more certainly than ever, as a beacon the world over for nations seeking a better world.

Center ANAHEIM IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago June 24 1871 Planters Hotel Destroyed by Fire The most extensive and damaging fire over witnessed in Anaheim occurred between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning, which not only rendered the magnificent Planters hotel building to ashes, but caused much damage to adjacent buildings and particularly to the store of M. Calisher. When first discovered the fire in the hotel had got under such headway as to render all efforts to save it entirely useless, and the citizens who gathered on masse addressed themselves to the task of saving the buildings of P. Davis & Bro., the Metz block, the store of Langenberger & Co., the store of M. Calisher and the residence of Tim Boege. In half an hour after the first discovery of the flames the building was reduced to ashes, and now there remains in its stead but a black and desolate spot, and Anaheim is without a hotel. Upon the hotel and stables there is an insurance of $6000. It would be a great convenience as well as an appreciable enterprise, if continuous sidewalks could be constructed along the streets of the business portion of the city. The hop-up-and-down-and-breakneck condition of the south side of Center street should convince everyone of this necessity. We must commence to consider the sidewalk subject. If the property owners are required by ordinance to meet one-half the continuous walks by all means, The trustees of the Anaheim Cemetery Association held a meeting Monday night and adopted the following resolutions: Resolved that H. E. Boldt and R. Luedke constitute a standing committee for general improvements. That from the first of July 1871, the large lots, known as "family lots" shall be sold only at $20 each. The citizens of Santa Ana are going to celebrate the Glorious Fourth of July with all the pomp and circumstance required by the occasion. Salutes will be fired, Declaration of Independence will be read by a well-known lady, and an oration will be given. A pavilion will be erected for dancing, and a high old lunch spread for all, beneath the gigantic sycamores of upwards of six hundred years' growth. We understand the Presbyterian festival, the arrangements for which have been in charge of the ladies of Anaheim for some time past, is to come off in about two weeks. During this week we have had thunder, lightning, rain and a brilliant aurora borealis at Anaheim—and the grasshoppers have not left. Richard Egan, Esq. has just completed the census of school children at Capistrano and found 160 between the ages of 5 and 15. Mr. AND Mrs. S.

It would be a great convenience as well as an appreciable enterprise, if continuous sidewalks could be constructed along the streets of the business portion of the city. The hop-up- and-down-and-breakneck condition of the south side of Center street should convince everyone of this necessity. We must commence to consider the sidewalk subject. If the property owners are required by ordinance to meet one-half the expense of construction the city should meet the balance of the insignificant cost. Let us have 50 Years Ago June 25, 1896 The large brick warehouse on the Botsford ranch at Placentia was entirely consumed by fire that was discovered shortly after midnight last Friday morning. The cause of the fire is believed to have been incendiary, a recently discharged employee of the ranch being supposed to be the author of the flames. The loss is estimated at $10,000 with the insurance $1500. Ed Atherton was in from his ostrich farm one day last week and places the firm under lasting obligations to him by presenting the better half of the editorial household with a couple of magnificent plumes. Eleven chicks have recently been hatched at the ranch and Mr. Atherton expects to hatch about fifty more. The cold weather was bad on the eggs, and the increase of chicks fell below the normal average. Two years ago 130 chicks were hatched. Last year Ed visited with his folks in London, and let the hatching go. There are 71 large birds on the farm. Z. B. West, of Santa Ana, has been admitted to practice in the United States circuit court on the recommendation of United States Attorney Denis. Judge West is running a neck-and-neck race with Judge Ballard for the Republican nomination for county judge. Judge Pierce turned perceptibly gray headed Tuesday morning in attempting to unravel the mysteries of the case of the people vs. Theresa Dench and her son John. The complaining witness was Erdman Heinrich, whose son Herman, 13, had become involved with Mike Dench over a bicycle, and a dozen or more members of both families were present to give testimony. W.

The Berkeley Gazette of June 17 contains the following account of a wedding which will be of interest to many Anaheim people: The marriage of Miss Lilly Zeus, daughter of Mrs. Marie Zeus to Gerald Whitaker was solemnized in St. Mark's chantry this afternoon at 5 o'clock at one of the most daintily appointed weddings of the mid-summer. Forty relatives and friends were hidden to the service, which was read by Rev. W. R. H. Hodgkin, rector of St. Mark's church. The bride was a charming picture in her gown of pink organdie, and she carried a shower bouquet of rosebuds. Miss Marsh Clements, the maid of honor was attired in yellow organdie.
