THE ERA OF SPEED HAS ARRIVED Anaheim stands on the threshold of a new era today. Speed has at last caught up with it. The easy-going, calm way of life will be suitable enough for the everyday things that must be done but letter writers from now on will see their missives dispatched with a speed that would have left grandfather gasping and seeking the aid of his rocking chair. For as of earlier this week, Anaheim became one of 33 cities in an experiment staged by the post office department and the Army Air Forces, to determine the feasibility of helicopter delivery and pickup of air mail in the southland. Success of the experiment will see the establishment of a similar service in the great metropolitan centers of New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia. FOR ONCE THEY USED THEIR HEADS! For once they used their heads. They in this instance referring to holiday travelers of last Thursday. Hammered at incessantly for weeks before the endless stream of traffic took to the nation's highways for the week-end escape "from it all" over the Fourth of July, safety lectures and safety programs paid off dividends in the form of lives saved. For where the National Safety Council had predicted 1,300 would lose their lives in accidents attributed to the Fourth, actually only 460 persons throughout the nation died as a result of holiday mishaps. California, unfortunately ranked second behind Michigan with 43 fatalities in accidents directly attributed to the holiday celebration.

So, as Anaheim continues to grow up and hang around the outside of the circle of her bigger brothers, Los Angeles and Santa Ana, the population here will be fortunate enough to have the conveniences of the Big Town with the atmosphere and quietness of the Small Town. And though letters and other things equally unimportant compared to the greater things of life, may be speeded up and delivered with all due haste as we keep in step with the tempo of the times, all in all, it shouldn't wreak too much of a change here except to make us realize that we have entered the Era of Speed along with the Atomic Age.

California, unfortunately ranked second behind Michigan with 43 fatalities in accidents directly attributed to the holiday celebration. All in all, it was a grand compliment to safety educators throughout the nation, as millions of motorists and celebrators paid heed to sane warnings and had good times to dwell upon on the Fifth. In Anaheim, fun-seeking holiday-goers broke all records at the city's park and plunge. Few accidents were reported and most of those were of a minor nature. Let's do it again next year, shall we? George Washington, in his first message to Congress, in 1790, suggested the establishment of agricultural colleges.

Let kilowatt-hours save kitchen hours — make your kitchen all-electric! Electricity helps prepare and cook the food, washes the dishes, disposes of garbage, does most of the tiresome work automatically -- while you enjoy life more. Eventually, everyone will have an electric kitchen. Plan yours now! Gulison 2-746 IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago July 22, 1871 The flourishing Los Nietos settlement, the business center of which is Gallatin, is increasing continuously in population and development.

The candidate running for the nomination on the Democratic ticket is Dr. Gustave Davis. The "People's Advocate" concludes an article regarding the lack of Abel Stearns, signed "Observer" which is entirely false. We have not space in this paper to expose to our people the depre- Davis, justice of the peace of Anaheim, founded on a trespass law, which did not exist. Mr. Abel Stearns being one who defends his rights and who appealed his case to higher tribunals from the unjust and prejudicial decisions of S. J. Davis, justice of the peace of Anaheim, tested the point and according to law had his decisions reversed and rendered null and void. Mr. Abel Stearns likes to see the advancement of agriculture and encourages the same. He has a perfect right to graze his stock on any of his unsold lands without consulting the "Observer."

Eighteen thousand dollars are to be voted on $11,000 for the extension of the water works and $7,000 for the extension of the light plant. There is no private gas company putting the proposition here, as is the case at Santa Ana, and the proposition to issue bonds for the inauguration of the eleclight system in October 1894, priored by a vote of 103 to 5, and similar conditions prevail, it is to assume that not much option will manifest itself to the rease of the works at the apaching election.
