COLONY QUIPS After fifty years of active newspaper work Sam Meyer of Newport Beach decided he ought to take it easy for a while and sold out his holdings. Sam has had a colorful career in the business starting in Iowa, then Georgia and Arizona and finally ending up publishing the Newport-Balboa News-Times from 1922 until now. Sam was always a prominent figure at all the newspaper conventions and at all meetings held here in the county. He will be missed in the business discussions of the fraternity. Something seems to tell us that Sam will be unable to stay at home on meeting nights and will still come out to see the rest of the boys. Orange county is, and has been for some time, going through an acute stage of growing pains. These pains are apparent every way you turn. The most noticeable and the ones you hear the most about are those about the housing shortage. People first need a place to live and if they move in with the 'in-laws' they just can't expect to get by with it permanently. The housing shortage is only a small part of the entire picture. Industry is eyeing and moving in to this section and the full effect of this impact will not be felt for some time. We who live here cannot sit back and expect all this growth to go on without doing our bit to get this county ready for what surely is ahead. It all goes back to the old, old Hummel to Speak At C. of C. Meet On Small Harbors Mr. E. C. Hummel, regional vice-president of the California State Chamber of Commerce, will be the guest speaker at the next monthly dinner meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county to be held at "Sam's Sea Food Spa" at Surfside next Tuesday evening. The subject of his speech will be "Mr. Citizen, His Obligations and Responsibilities." New committees to be appointed for the next fiscal year will be announced by President W. M. Longmoor. Yorba Linda To Get Furniture Assembly Plant A building permit to construct a $140,000 branch factory in Yorba Linda was granted last Wednesday to the International Furniture Service department, a special Sanitation fund was added whereby this money was used to the best advantage of citation and sewerage. A new ordinance fixing an connection with the sanitation promotion of sanitation street cleaning and sewer care of the city council last Tuesday City Hall. What the ordinance amounts to that a tax of one dollar a unit is to be imposed on every family development using electrical and water facilities. Courts and motels with units are also included, along apartment renters, apartments, business establishments and manufacturing and processing plants equipped with plumbing facilities. According to Griffith, city clerk, this tax be added to the monthly light bills submitted by the Public Service department, special Sanitation fund was added whereby this money was used to the best advantage of citation and sewerage. The ordinance will be approved at the next meeting of the council, occurring on move in with the 'in-laws' they just can't expect to get by with it permanently. The housing shortage is only a small part of the entire picture. Industry is eyeing and moving in to this section and the full effect of this impact will not be felt for some time. We who live here cannot sit back and expect all this growth to go on without doing our bit to get this county ready for what surely is ahead. It all goes back to the old, old maxim that to have a stable city and county we must have water and sewage disposal. With the Metropolitan Water District our problems in this regard are largely solved. In the matter of sewage disposal the outlook is far from perfect. Our present outfall line has been running to capacity for several years and something is going to have to be done. Not just by the cities either. The whole county has a real problem that it must settle as a unit. We make no pretense of knowing how this sewer question should be solved but we have men whose business it is to know. We are willing to have them tell us. A majority of the voters of the county must be willing to be told and go to the ballot box. If, as we hope, it all comes to that, and cast ballots accordingly. If the voters are unwilling to carry through the recommendations of the men hired to make them then all will go for naught and much money and time will have been wasted. Preliminary planning and thinking is going on now to master this sewage disposal problem and everyone concerned, which includes every citizen, should make themselves aware of what is going on and bringing up any pertinent points that might help. That sort of attitude is the voters plain duty. Our duty is to help inform the voter in order that a sound conclusion can be reached and the disposal plans put through so that Orange county can grow and become a better place in which to live. There is no question about the county growing. Let us get ready. Last week the Gazette told of a big "fish" that was caught by Mrs. Al Elmer in the person of her husband who had fallen in the water. It now appears that that information was at fault and that the person who really fell in was "Swivel-Necked" Brown who operates the middle chair at Monte's Barber Shop. At least that is what some of the boys are saving and we feel in duty Yorba Linda To Get Furniture Assembly Plant A building permit to construct a $140,000 branch factory in Yorba Linda was granted last Wednesday to the International Furniture Company of Chicago, one of two major industrial concerns denied a permit last spring. The plant will be located on the northeast side of Imperial Highway, 150 feet northwest of Eureka avenue. It will be used as an assembly plant by the furniture company. The land use application was finally granted after ranchers in the vicinity, lined up against other residents in the area in an attempt to have the plant barred from the Yorba Linda area. Objections to the industrial plant was part of a movement to keep industries classified as heavy, out of the agricultural regions of Orange county. Last spring, the Harvill Manufacturing Company sought to establish a die casting plant in Santa Ana canyon but was denied a permit on the grounds its construction would endanger the county water supply. The company finally located a suitable area near Corona in Riverside county for the plants erection. R. F. Campbell Is New SCCF Manager Roy F. Campbell of this city became the new plant manager of Southern California Citrus Foods, 1460 North Olive street, with the resignation of Elmer Fuller, also of Anaheim, last Thursday. Previous to his promotion, Campbell was the plant superintendent of the local concern for the past five years with which he has been associated since March 21, 1937. Fuller is now the new manager at Winckler and Smith of Anaheim, a bi-product plant of the Mutual Orange Distributors, a grower owned cooperation. He had been affiliated with Southern California Citrus Foods, which is also a bi-product division of the Mutual Orange Distributors, since 1939. Special Music At According to Griffith, city clerk, this tax be added to the monthly light bills submitted by the public Service department, special Sanitation fund was used to the best advantage citation and sewerage. The ordinance will be for approval at the next meeting of the council, occurring on day, July 30. A resolution calling for substitution of 3,000 KVA, closes for service in the no part and industrial end of city was also passed by the cil. The cost of this station will be $50,000.

The council approved a ment from the Capital Outlay amounting to $5,200 for a 1 water line extending from street in Santa Ana to street in Anaheim. Preliminary survey plans by-pass sewer line on section 3, 4, 5 and 6 was estimated at 250 and water pipe fitting $402.80. Another resolution passes the council fixes charges for disposal of industrial waste per one million gallons in the lic sewerage system in accordance with Ordinance 667 paying for regulations by industry. The city's expenditures for period July 1-15 was announced as $24,378.82. Vets' Info Center Makes Plea For Rental Listings More than 15 veterans, with families, have found accommodations this month through the Anaheim Municipal Veterans' Information center on floor, city hall, 204 Eastern street, Ira Hodgkins veter service director, disclosed ever, despite the success of service, the housing shortage mains acute; he added, urgical citizens to list small avail apartments, or rooms, espe with kitchen privileges, by ing 3238. The veterans' information ter helps landlords rent to re tenants at no fee. Former heimers are given preferen Last week the Gazette told of a big "fish" that was caught by Mrs. Al Elmer in the person of her husband who had fallen in the water. It now appears that that information was at fault and that the person who really fell in was "Swivel-Necked" Brown who operates the middle chair at Monte's Barber Shop. At least that is what some of the boys are saying and we feel in duty bound to report the mishap. Of course when a person's neck is on a swivel and they are peering into someone else's affair anything is liable to happen and usually does. It is also reported that Brownie lost a fine pocket knife and an excellent padlock. They must be laying on the bottom now and Brownie is lucky that he is not there too. A lot of people seem to be very tired of driving a motor car that is paid for. The best way to get up with the sun is not to set up too late with the daughter. A neglected duty returns tomorrow with seven others at its back. Arcadia Publisher Named to State Post State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel last week announced the appointment of Ewing Hass, co-publisher of the Arcadia Tribune, as deputy state controller at $7,200 a year.

For Lack of Funds Vets Day May Fail; Time’s A-Wastin’ An utterly miserable failure of the Veterans’ Reunion day picnic may result unless a goal of $4,000.00 is reached by the Veterans’ Finance committee very shortly.

An utterly miserable failure of the Veterans' Reunion day picnic may result unless a goal of $4,000.00 is reached by the Veterans' Finance committee very shortly. Their receipts thus far add up to a total of $600.00, with a staggering balance of $3,400.00 still needed! That's the story on YOUR Veterans' Reunion day finances! In a letter signed by A. L. Raymond, chairman, the committee describes their plight as urgent and they are in need of immediate financial aid. "Do it now! Please", they ask. Many pledges have been made but all too few have actually come through. The letter states that "the Food committee and the Entertainment committee have their plans all made to take care of 3,000 to 4,000 veterans. It is up to you to help finance the commitments they have made. Every member of the Finance committee is busy—they can't afford to take their time to go out and solicit funds—they should not have to do so! The responsibility of entertaining our servicemen and women is your way of telling them "thank you" for the job they did for all of us." The picnic is scheduled for August 15, only 21 days to go! Should it fall from lack of funds the promises of "wait! If you fellows get back home" will surely seem empty. Many people have called the committee to ask how much they are expected to give. The answer has always been, "it's up to you". There is no minimum and there certainly isn't a maximum. The letter goes on to say that "in all fairness, we wish to explain that this project can't be put over with $5.00 or even $10.00 subscriptions. It is going to take a lot of substantial checks to really raise the amount needed." Time's a-wastin'! All checks should be mailed to the Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, 136 North Los Angeles street, Anaheim.

CITY’S HISTORIC FIRE BELL ECHOS IN PIONEER MEMORIES Symbolic of pioneer Anaheim but remembered by few of this city’s younger generation, is the historic fire bell which once called the first volunteer fire company to action and rang its last as its clanging note proclaimed the signing of the Armistice in 1918 when it was pulled through the streets on a cart. The bell now hangs in silence at the Anaheim Municipal Light, Water and Power Department pump house, 518 South Los Angeles street. The following article, which appeared in the "75 Years Ago" column in last week's issue of the Gazette, reveals the purchase of the huge fire bell, as follows: "A fine large bell, well mounted and of the best metal material manufactured by Garret and Co. of San Francisco, has lately been procured for the use of the Anaheim fire department at the cost of $185 and is at present at the jewelery store of R.

'Back Your Future' Campaign Success Bond Sales Soar Americans are convinced that saving bonds are both profitable and safe and not to be sacrificed in a real emergency. This statement was included in a report given by Fred H. Johnson, southern California director of the treasury's U.S. savings bond division, last Monday. Johnson continues, "during the first half of July, Americans invested $139,057,000 more in U.S. savings bonds than in the first half of June. Sales surged up 45.7 per cent above the mid-June figure to reach $443,514,000, the best half-month's volume since January, while redemptions held steady at the new 1946 low achieved in June." The director thanked the news-room radio and other publicity Purchase of a 60-acre grove at Orange street and Dale avenue, in the West Anaheim district by a Los Angeles syndicate for a reported consideration of $180,000 was disclosed here this week. The Valencia grove was purchased from Dr. Lee C. Deming, who it was reported, will retain the main residence and one acre of the grove. W. A. Diagee, president of the Mode-O-Day Corp., was reported heading the syndicate which made the purchase. The syndicate was said to have purchased the 40-acre Clay Kellogg ranch in Santa Ana several months ago. R. L. Rust, Anaheim realtor, handled the transaction. Property sold included 60 acres of Valencia trees, a superintendent's home, a stable for riding horses and other buildings in addition to the 1946 crop. Bird Talks Coming As Club Forms The Tucker Bird Sanctuary in Modjeska canyon was the scene of the first organization meeting of the Orange County Bird club, or Audubon society last Sunday afternoon. Highlighting their charter meeting was the election of officers. Dr. Earl Sanders of the Santa Ana Junior college was selected as president of the club and Eric E. Eastman of the U.S. Department of Agriculture became first vice-president. Second vice-president is Mrs. A. A. Handy of the Santa Ana school system; recording secretary, Miss Marjorie Moody. The office of corresponding secretary is filled by Mrs. William Harding; treasurer, Miss Mary A. Bates, and technical advisor is Miss Mabel G. Myers. Three directors were also elected: from Anaheim, Dr. Mabel Myers; Fullerton, Mrs. R. E. Starbuck; Santa Ana, Mrs. A. S. Handy. Additional directors from other communities in Orange county are to be elected in the near future. There are two main reasons given for the formation of this organization: one is to promote the knowledge of Orange county birds and the other is to further the welfare of bird life in this county. Any Orange county resident who is interested in birds, or in learning about birds, may join. The club is conducted on a strictly non-profit and educational basis. A series of illustrated lectures to Orange county dealing with manufactured by Garret and Co. of San Francisco, has lately been procured for the use of the Anaheim fire department at the cost of $185 and is at present at the jewelery store of R. Luedke. The bell tower, to be thirty feet in height, will be built as soon as proper material can be obtained, by Mr. Champlin, to whom the contract was awarded, his bid being the lowest of the proposals." On August 5, 1871, an announcement appeared in the Gazette revealing the premiere ringing of the new addition to the young city. "The first regular meeting of Anaheim fire company No. 1, will be called together on next Monday evening at 8 o'clock by the tolling of the newly erected fire alarm bell." The volunteer "fire laddies" ran along Center street, then a broad dirt road marked by many vacant lots, with their hose cart, which was designed with high red-painted wheels, when on call. The cart was pulled by a rope by 'the energetic "dray"-men. It is now at the North Kemp street pumping station, plant No. 2. The first regular fire company was organized from the volunteer organization in 1916, following the purchase of Fire truck No. 1 by the city of Anaheim. Conrad Mauerhan was the driver. Others included Richard Fischle, Sr., Walter Clark, Carl Pressel, Frank Goodrich, Leslie Swope, Herman Backs, Robert Quarton, Fred Backs, Charlie Clark, Burleigh Goodrich, Herman Stock, Albert Frickson, Fred Schneider, Joe Gibson, Frank Tausch; Herman Schindler and Alvin Nowotny. The fire truck replaced a fireman-red pump cart complete with rail pump and set on four high wheels. This heirloom was sold by the city to the Hal Roach Studio, Hollywood. Several impressive fire-heldmets and assorted hatchets also were taken to Hollywood. Some of the history of the city fire bell, which many long-time residents remember, when youngsters, ringing by its sturdy rope on event of local fires or important civic events, appeared 53 years ago in a Gazette article dated January 17, 1893. THE FIRE BELL "The city fire bell has been moved from the tower on Hermine street where it has hung for many years, to the tower in the new city hall. The bell has quite a history and itself once figured in a fire that consumed several Johnson continues, "during the first half of July, Americans invested $139,057,000 more in U.S. savings bonds than in the first half of June. Sales surged up 45.7 per cent above the mid-June figure to reach $443,514,000, the best half-month's volume since January, while redemptions held steady at the new 1946 low achieved in June." The director thanked the newspapers, radio and other publicity and advertising media, and their advertisers, for their tremendous support in space and time devoted to urging Americans to buy and hold savings bonds. National sales of E-Bords alone were up 28.5 per cent, according to the half-month report, rocketing from $175,334,000 in the first half of June to $225,237,000 in the comparable July period, while E-Bond redemptions were at the lowest mark since July, 1945. Commenting on the welcome phenomenon Johnson said, "this marked increase reflects the results of the June-July 'Back Your Future' publicity campaign, which stressed investment in savings bonds as security for the future and their purchase as a check against inflation."

Record Water Flow as Rising Flow of water per minute in this city is recorded up to a peak of 4200 gallons during present summer heat, as indicated and recorded by the sensitive meter in the Municipal Light, Water and Power department, 518 South Los Angeles street. Average low here is 500 gallons per minute. The main water meter, located on Center and East streets, controls the volume of water flow. The pressure reducing valves are automatically controlled to handle the fluctuation of pressure and are set to feed at a certain pressure, V. W. Hannum, department superintendent revealed. When demand for water here exceeds 4200 gallons per minute, a huge pump is started at the plant to take care of an extra 4000 gallons per minute.

THE FIRE BELL "The city fire bell has been moved from the tower on Hermine street where it has hung for many years, to the tower in the new city hall. The bell has quite a history and itself once figured in a fire that consumed several buildings together with the tower supporting it. "It was cast in San Francisco in 1870 and was placed in position in the tower of the engine house situated on Chartres street, near where the residence of Dr. Bullard now stands, in the latter part of that year. Here it remained for over six years, ringing out the alarm for some very disastrous fires occurring during that time. "In January, 1877, the engine house and its tower were burned in the fire that consumed the Enterprise hall and Gazette buildings. The bell fell to the ground, and its tone has since been impaired. Some time later it was moved to the roof of the brick annex of the Planters hotel whence it was transferred some years ago to the city lot on Hermine street which it has just vacated. "The bell weighs some 350 pounds and in the early days was used considerably to ring out the people for county division meetings. It was the first bell ever put up in Los Angeles county, the citizens of the Angelic City giving a fire alarm in those days by firing revolvers. Everybody carried a revolver then. "The bell had been taken down at the time of the fire in Kroeger's winery last Thursday night, so an alarm could not be turned in. That was the first fire in its history for which it failed to sound an alarm. It was lying on the ground at the (Continued on Page 2)
