But now a greater war—one of a defensive nature—is being fought on our home front. We refer to the automobile versus the pedestrian. And the auto versus auto. For five years now we have let our safeguards slip until now that the shooting is over and we have had a chance to total our casualties we are amazed and frightened at the climbing death toll right here amongst us—all due to carelessness. Warfare is terrifying and sickening to those who have experienced the abject misery and suffering associated with it. But, have you ever seen the misery and grief that every day attacks scores of us right here at home? We have. And it is not a pretty sight. A week from now highways the nation over will be packed with teeming motorists holiday-bound. Kids, dogs, Mother and Dad, in fact the whole family, will be out in force to enjoy the Fourth of July and for many, the start of the annual vacation trip. It should be a great day. It can be a great day. But the nation's newspapers on the following day will be ablaze with dark streamer headlines that so many died from carelessness, foolishness or what have you on the day set aside commemorating our commencement of independence. It is a sad commentary on our way of life. To ruthlessly snuff lenced the abject misery and suffering associated with it. But, have you ever seen the misery and grief that every day attacks scores of us right here at home. We have. And it is not a pretty sight. A week from now highways the nation-over will be packed with teeming motorists holiday-bound. Kids, dogs, Mother and Dad, in fact the whole family, will be out in force to enjoy the Fourth of July and for many, the start of the annual vacation trip. It should be a great day. It can be a great day. But the nation's newspapers on the following day will be ablaze with dark streamer headlines that so many died from carelessness, foolishness or what have you on the day set aside commemorating our commencement of independence. It is a sad commentary on our way of life. To ruthlessly snuff out human lives in warfare is understandable but when we stage foolish and careless deeds when at peace it does not make sense. The National Safety Council records reveal 8,700 persons died last year as the result of Independence Day accidents. In our last peacetime July in 1941, 9,700 died in accidents. In our own state this year scores have been killed and statisticians say our highway death toll will continue to mount unless we curb careless and reckless driving. Reasons for our mounting death toll can be attributed to several factors all of which can be corrected if only they will. Release from wartime restrictions; sufficient and plentiful amounts of gas; cessation of the patriotic urge; greater leisure; and the long put off desire to "blow off steam" now that the pressure is no longer on us, are just a few of the features that are helping create accidents today. We could go on and on. We could recall all the rules about carefulness and safety. How not to go swimming just after eating; how to avoid over-driving, especially at night, and so on and on. But all these things you have heard, not once but scores of times. You know all them as well as we do. Heed them and you will live longer. So when you start out for that picnic or vacation next Thursday recall what you have just read and you'll live to repeat the performance again next year. The war is over both in the Atlantic and the Pacific but a greater war is right here at home. It doesn't call for war bonds or evertime or doing without the little luxuries of life but just using your head. Stop, think and live for the next time! The first settlement in the state of Arkansas was made at Arkansas Post in 1685. There are more than 400 species of the humming bird living exclusively in America. The typewriter was patented in 1874 by a man named C. Lathan Sholes. California has the largest amount of developed water power of any state in the Union. Madame Chevalier visited her daughter, Mrs. John during the week, and one turn to her home in Los Angeles was accompanied by those who still remains visiting Our side-partner, John went up to spend the Fort turning in the evening. Alex Henry is in consequence with Prof. Woodbridge hopes to have him at the donia ranch on Saturday. to better SHOPPING Shop "between10 and4" * By leaving home after the morning traffic rush, the wise shopper finds travel comfortable and arrives at the shopping district fresh for the day's adventures. * And shopping, too, is more satisfactory. There are greater selections of merchandise—more time to make desired purchases—clerks are not all tired out—and neither are you! * By boarding car or motor coach not later than 4 p.m., the wise shopper is homeward bound before the evening traffic rush and has ample time to leisurely prepare the evening meal. * Thus a more pleasant day is had by all—when you "Shop between 10 and 4." IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago July 8, 1871 The celebration of the Fourth of July at Santa Ana by the citizens of that place and Anaheim was the most general and enthusiastic of any ever held south of the San Gabriel river. The entire celebration was organized by the public spirited citizens of Santa Ana. G. W. Barter, editor of the Gazette, was the orator of the day. At Anaheim the day was ushered in by the firing of thirteen guns by Arnold & Baldwin, and by other bustle and noise of preparation for the ride to our neighboring town. The business houses were closed for the day, flags were flung to the breeze, and at an early hour there were visible all the symptoms and indications of an old-time enthusiastic day. Five artesian wells are now flowing at Santa Ana and another one opposite the store of Mr. Spurgeon at that place, is down to a depth of 130 feet, and the auger is working in gravel, which appears to be the bed of a dry river. Water will no doubt be struck there in a few days. If a success it will demonstrate that artesian water may be obtained all over the valley. The Los Angeles News announces its intention not to support any Democratic candidate for office who is not a subscriber to that paper. The News people are impressed with the strange hallucination that editors require education of the masses. The News has the grip this time and its circulation will, no doubt, speedily increase. We adopt the same platform. Senor Don Juan Forster has upon his ranch several magnificent specimens of the century plant, that are now in full bloom. They are very large and can be seen in all their glory from a long distance, amid the flowers that adorn a portion of that noted rancho. We are informed that the sheep belonging to Woods & Athern and Ned Polhemus are now grazing in the Laguna valley, about thirty miles southeast of the San Rafael mines. Water and grass are abundant, and the sheep numbering over 20,000 are in fine condition. A squadron of Anaheim grasshoppers are rusticating at Santa Ana, and are fat, rugged and saucy as ever. They are only on a visit and will be back in Anaheim in a few days. The board of supervisors have granted the petition of J. J. Johnson and others of Santa Ana, asking that a school district to be known as Newport be set apart in San Joaquin township. We have received from the garden of Mr. L. Guenter some nine specimens of early pears and figs, the first, we believe, of the season. day of registration is July 31st. Mr. and Mrs. Dean Hasson spent last week at Balboa. Mrs. Sarah Fay, her daughter, Miss Theresa Fay and Mrs. Easton and daughters spent Sunday at Long Beach. Al Heying and family returned the latter part of the week from Big Bear lake where they enjoyed a couple of week's outing. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer have returned from an automobile trip through the northern part of the state. City Sales Tax Meeting Tonight Discussion of the proposed city sales tax to boost revenue for Orange county cities will highlight an executive committee meeting of the League of Cities here July 11 at the Elks clubhouse, it was announced this week. The general membership of the Brea Women's club will stage a dinner meeting at 6:45 o'clock tonight during which the tax measure will be discussed and an address will be given by James Musattl of the California State Chamber of Commerce.

The Los Angeles News announces its intention not to support any Democratic candidate for office who is not a subscriber to that paper. The News people are impressed with the strange hallucination that editors require money and have to eat, and all that sort of nonsense. Their item on this subject also looks like advocating a compulsory ed- 50 Years Ago July 9, 1896 Tim Carroll is engaged upon a model of his patented beet dump at Connelly's blacksmith shop, and has received many testimonials regarding the efficiency of the same. Tim expects to meet with a ready sale for the dump, there being nothing like it in the country. It will no doubt, come into general use with the railroads and shipping, as instead of shoveling out a carload of coal, for instance, all one has to do is to run the car up on the dump, tilt it to any required angle, and over goes the car of coal. Certain it is that the nine hundred cars of sugar beets sent from here to Chino last season could not have been handled with such dispatch by the use of any other apparatus. Gus Hensen of Orangethorpe, has donated forty acres of land to the Bixley sugar factory to have the site located inside of the county line. Thus of the 400 acres necessary for this purpose Mr. Hansen donates one tenth of the whole. The deeds are conditioned upon work on the factory being commenced on the 15th of the present month. Madame Chevalier visited with her daughter, Mrs. John Hartung, during the week, and on her return to her home in Los Angeles, was accompanied by the latter, who still remains visiting with her. Our side-partner, John Hartung, went up to spend the Fourth, returning in the evening. Alex Henry is in correspondence with Prof. Woodbridge and hopes to have him at the California ranch on Saturday when he intends making a test of applying steam to scale infested trees. If the professor comes Mr. Henry will give a public demonstration of his steaming process, and invites those interested to be with him on that day. Jake Stern and wife and two children leave on Sunday for a six months visit to Germany. Jake has lived in America for a dozen years and this is his first trip home. He will sail on the well-known Atlantic liner Furst Bismark and will leave New York on the 23rd. Ernest Bentz has had the pleasure of seeing his name in print in the Los Angeles and Santa Ana papers, but in a manner which he thinks is not altogether flattering, and he is undecided whether to bring libel suit against the papers or not. The papers said he had been arrested for burglary when as a matter of fact he was the complaining witness against Joseph Acuna for petty larceny. Charley Ramella is rejoicing over the arrival of a new son and heir at his home on Monday. Charley hopes to have that bridge put in over the ditch in front of his home by the time the youngster gets old enough to walk over it. Mrs. Nebelung went to Los Angeles yesterday to remain a month, during which time her little daughter will be under treatment of an occulist for eye trouble. A Plerotti and Andrew Gillison have placed us under obligations to them for a couple of baskets of the finest apricots we have seen this season. July 7, 1921 That six thousand dollars an acre for good producing orange groves has not passed by the boards was evidenced last week on the sale by Earl Mathis of his ten acres on East First street, Santa Ana, to Burr Talbert for $80,000. The property is that formerly owned by Robert E. Reid, and which commanded a high price when sold during the height of the high prices winter before last. The grove is considered one of the best producers in the county. Mathis sold it in order that he might join his father in ranching operations in the Placentia country. Sale of the acreage was made through the real estate agency of Carden, Leibig and Seanans. One hundred and fifty Anaheimers attended the banquet in honor of the chamber of commerce given in the high school auditorium on Friday evening. Accomplishments of the past year were reviewed and plans for the future outlined. S. C. Hartranft made the address of the evening. The banquet was prepared by the Bell society, and during the evening Fellinge's orchestra entertained the banqueters with music. Anaheim is growing more rapidly and more substantially than any other city of its class in southern California, according to City Clerk Merritt's records. The permits issued in this city dur ing the past six months aggregates $458,150, while during the same period last year the total was $254,400. Most of the permits issued this year were for homes, the average cost of residences being $3000. On Wednesday night of last week Miss E. M. Gladys Kraemer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Kraemer of East Crowther avenue, Placentia was married to Mr. J. Julian Allec. The bride was gowned in white lace and was attended by her sister, Miss Emma Kraemer as bridesmaid. Guy Brunet attended the groom as best man. After a trip to Yosemite, the young couple will reside on North Bradford avenue, Placentia. Receipts for the Anaheim post-office for the quarter ending June 80, show an increase of 25 percent over the same quarter last year, according to Postmaster Ahlborn. The office is showing a rapid and steady increase. Paul Claussen, of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, Wayne Gable of the Santa Ana chamber, and Dr. C. C. Violett, journeyed to Burbank Friday in an airplane. They made the trip on a 3000 foot level and all enjoyed it immensely. County Clerk Jas. Backs has appointed Frank Tausch as deputy for registering aliens in this city who are subject to the annual poll tax of $10. The final raub of Miami, Fla., ex-marine stationed at the El Toro air base, and now a permanent resident here. "Rusty" commutes each day to her work from Santa Ana. Gene operated a machine shop at Cranford's airport in Artesia shortly after his release from service in 1945, but later moved to the Skyranch as his facilities kept expanding. Aided by his younger brother, Charles, who is called "Chuck" by his associates at the field, Gene opened his present airplane engine and repair shop last December. A visit to the shop discloses engine parts filling every nook and cranny in addition to a dozen or so planes, some, little sportscraft, others, former war birds now returned from the fighting areas, parked in front of it. Gene lives here with friends at 419 South Indiana street. His brother Charles lives in Beuna Park. Request 'Cycles For Traffic Patrol (Continued from Page 1) Need for the signal installation was attributed to increased traffic at the intersection, Mrs. Olive Lee Shoemaker, club president said. Griffith said parking meter hours set by the council will be from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on week days; from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays, and no parking restriction on Sundays or holidays. A.
