Emergency Relief Plan Outlined by E. M. Schottland The responsibilities and duties of an emergency relief committee in time of disaster was explained by E. M.

Lee Fabian, disaster chairman for the Anaheim chapter, presided over the session and introduced Schottland. Schottland gave examples of what had been accomplished in two recent disasters to which he had been sent by the area office. One was the flood in western Oregon, in which 3,000 people were made homeless, and the other, a fire in Flagstaff, Arizona, which destroyed 15 homes and affected approximately 100 people. Out. Earle Jackson, former disaster chairman, had outlined a plan of action, of which Schottland highly approved. It will be used as a basis for the permanent plan to be formulated for use in Anaheim in case of need. Those attending the special meeting in addition to Schottland and Fabian, included George Logan, general field representative, A.R.C.; Robert Rossberg, E. C. Westenkeuhler and Dave Proud, representing the American Legion; Walter Reinhardt, Mark Stephenson, Anaheim chief of police; Vard Hannum; M. A. Gauer; Mr. and Mrs. E. O.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago August 5, 1871 It is often sneeringly remarked, when the excellence of our climate is advanced as an argument favor of southern California, that a man cannot live on climate. Now if anyone thinks that this smart saying is unqualifiedly true, he had better reside for a few months in some less favored locality, where he not only learns what he is mistaken but also has been ungrateful to providence for one of the greatest blessings to humanity. The human organization requires more than bread and water to sustain vitality. With a nature akin to the rose, he thrives at the dark and gloomy places of earth, but reaches perfection there the beautiful sunlight comes and the cheerful inspiration of nature is freshest and brightest from the hand of nature's God. The cheering effect upon his mental and nervous systems of an agreeable atmosphere may actually cause him to live, to a certain extent, on climate.

Thus ended the account of half a century ago. And the bell continued to give faithful service to Anaheim citizens for the next quarter century. For it was duly installed in its tower in what was then the "new" city hall, occupying the same site where the present city hall stands. When the new building was completed, the bell eventually found a home in the light and water department of the Anaheim Water works, at 518 South Los Angeles street, where it is spending its serene old age in absolute quiet. On V-J Day many pioneer citizens of Anaheim were disappointed not to hear the resounding tones of the historic bell, whose tongue spoke loudly and triumphantly just 28 years ago, notifying the city that the Armistice had been signed and that the dedication of World War I was ended.

Both have written that the specimens of leaves submitted to them now no signs of the eradication of scale, and they doubt the efficacy of the process. Col. Polhemus was in from Sirafores a day or two ago and informs us that the Southern Pacific track has not yet been taken from that point to Santa Ana, and furthermore, the Colonel hardly thinks it will be.

It was decided that there shall be two recognized grades, besides the paper shell variety, which usually commands fancy prices. The grading will depend upon the size of the nuts, which will be ascertained by passing them through a wire screen with large meshes. After considerable debate it was decided to postpone the fixing of prices until 10 a.m., August 15, when the delegates will meet again in the same place.

Anaheim Gazette, since 1870. 25 Years Ago August 4, 1921 The tremendously rapid growth of Anaheim is again evidenced by the building permit total for July when there were 59 permits issued, aggregating $89,850 new constructions. It is more remarkable in that it is practically all our new residences, which are now averaging better than one per day. Kept up for the year, this means that Anaheim's population will be increased by more than 400 families in 1921. Total permits for the seven months since January are 259, representing $548,000 new construction. For the eight months since December 1st new building totals within $150,000 of the million, which is a big lead over any other city in the county. New buildings in sight, including the new Kraemer building and the city hall, will push Anaheim building permits to an even more scattering figure.

Here's the Story... Southern California is on the threshold of a postwar expansion and building program that is without parallel anywhere in the country. The volume of natural gas already called for by the millions now living here is tremendous. Hundreds of thousands of newcomers are on the way. As we grow, the demands on our resources are increasing steadily. A continuous and plentiful supply of natural gas is vital for our future development. And it will be assured!

MARLER, Passenger Traffic Manager, Los Angeles E GAS PROJECT Government OK's Texas Additional Supply for Southern California to Grow On A big pipeline 1200 miles long is to reach over the Continental Divide and tap the huge natural gas reserves of the Mid-Continent Fields in New Mexico and Texas. This $70,000,000 project, one of the greatest engineering undertakings of its kind, has already been fully approved by the California Railroad Commission and the Federal Power Commission. Looking Ahead The Southern California and Southern Counties Gas Companies will construct the portion of the line from the California border westwards, and the El Paso Natural Gas Company, which will supply the gas, will build the balance of the line. The new project will put to use a large volume of gas now being wasted for lack of a market... and still greater reserves are available for future needs! The natural gas it is to transport would care for as many homes as in the four metropolitan cities of Akron, San Antonio, Des Moines and Indiana-polis combined. At its ultimate capacity, the new pipeline will deliver the equivalent energy daily of 47,000 barrels of oil... or 189 carloads of coal...or three times the electrical energy produced by Boulder Dam. Rolling Along Preliminary work is under way. Actual construction starts this Fall and the pipeline will be ready for the Winter of 1947-48. This you can bank on—natural gas will continue to be the fuel for Southern California!
