Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 PRESS CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION A century ago at this time when some of the most momentous events in California's colorful history were taking place there was no vast world-wide system of wires and cables to rush the news to waiting presses, nor were there any radio networks to broadcast a play-by-play account of developments. California was an isolated, distant land little known to the world and not much better known to the early settlers who lived here. News of what took place at Monterey or Sonoma or San Francisco didn't reach the East until weeks or months later. Even those who lived but a comparatively few miles from the scene of important happenings often did not learn of them until some time later. That August 6 the Atomic Age was formally begun with the blast that leveled Hiroshima. On August 8 came the Nagasaki explosion. Then on August 14 came the Day of days, the long-sought-for, long-fought-for day when the Japs finally called it quits. Now a year has rolled by and historic August is here again. We've seen Japan taken over and reorganized by General MacArthur, we've waited hopefully and vainly for China to settle her internal conflict, we've watched the Philippines emerge as a new and independent nation, we've heard atomic bombs four and five explode at Bikini, we've seen our country fumble its way toward recovery — without getting very far. We've witnessed the burial of OPA and the exhuming of the town of Riehfield has been stitched and a new port opened at Joaquin bay, whence the settlement derive much of their lumber supply. In Anaheim many valuable buildings have been erected, of which the residences of Davis and H. Kroeger are being completed. Two fine hotels also to be built. In the way water works Chapman & Co. expended some $20,000 upon the new canal and flume and m ditches have been constructed. California was an isolated, distant land little known to the world and not much better known to the early settlers who lived here. News of what took place at Monterey or Sonoma or San Francisco didn’t reach the East until weeks or months later. Even those who lived but a comparatively few miles from the scene of important happenings often did not learn of them until some time later. That was in 1846. But this is 1946. California is now as close to the far corners of the globe as news wires and radio can make it. This means that our centennial celebrations are not being obscured from the world as were the original events. Observance of the Bear Flag Revolt and the raising of "Old Glory" at Monterey were reported far and wide by press and radio. Now another celebration—the centennial of California's first newspaper on August 15—is also to receive extensive publicity. In order that California might "tell the world" about this event as it occurs the State's largest bank is sponsoring a special broadcast of the festivities which editors, public officials and others will attend. This centennial celebration has particular significance because the press has played a vital role in the progress of California ever since the first edition of the Monterey Californian was published. Today, the newspapers of the Golden State rededicate themselves to the preservation of a free press and to the task of keeping their readers among the best informed people in the world. V-J DAY—PLUS ONE YEAR Until last year the month of August enjoyed virtually no distinction from the standpoint of American history. Independence Day comes in the month before it, Labor Day in the month after it; two great Presidents have birthdays in February; Inauguration Day was in March for nearly a century and a half and now January has that distinction; World War I began in April; the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor in December; Memorial Day is observed in May; Flag Day in June, and Thanksgiving in November. But August was noted for little else than its heat—until 1945. But then it came into its own historically in no uncertain fashion. On We've seen Japan taken over and reorganized by General MacArthur, we've waited hopefully and vainly for China to settle her internal conflict, we've watched the Philippines emerge as a new and independent nation, we've heard atomic bombs four and five explode at Bikini, we've seen our country fumble its way toward recovery — without getting very far. We've witnessed the burial of OPA and the exhuming of the corpse, we've watched the 11-million-man armed force shrink to about one-tenth of its wartime size, and we've listened to the world pray for lasting peace while it prepares for another war. Yes, we’ve lived a lot since last August. Our hope is that in the year between now and next V-J Day the world will experience more on the constructive side, more that will contribute to a greater harmony among nations, more that will give us reason to hope for a better future and a better world. Rotarians Learn State is Growing The Anaheim Rotary club heard predictions of a growth in California within the next ten years to exceed all estimates when Tony Entenza, Los Angeles attorney and chairman of the State Athletic commission, was guest speaker at a meeting of the club last week. Tracing his report back to 1923, Entenza discussed the anticipated growth in California during the next 10 years, showing the development of Florida following the boom years after the first World War. The Chase National bank compiled estimates that the American public accumulated more than 20 billion dollars, he said. After the first World War the figure was set at 115 billion dollars. Industries with branches in California will be developed through the use of a great deal of that money, thereby contributing to a growth exceeding all estimates within the next ten years. Chairman Phil Segrals introduced the speaker and M. A. Gauer inducted Gus Luzania, a new member, into the club. Yellowstone park, with its 3,-471.51 square miles, located in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, is the largest National park in the United States. August 20, 1896 The water board met on Saturday afternoon and levied an assessment of a dollar per share. The company must meet a net of $10,000 forthwith, and although a diligent search for money had in Los Angeles resulted locating the whereabouts of $000 that was promised the company, the most of it melted thin air when it came to borrowing point, and the company had no recourse but to slap an assessment. The Los Angeles bank are not loaning a cent. The banks are fortifying themselves all over the country, and when a loan of $25,000 was recently asked of of the best known banks southern California, for nine days, the bankers laughed at proposition, saying they did care for the security—the blower might just as well ask twenty-five millions. There would be no large loans made until derer election. Orange and San Pedro are talking of following the exam set by Long Beach, and disincorporating, and petitions are being circulated in both places, first to vote on excluding a last portion of outer territorial area of the city, and the second vote on disincorporation outright.

Although the thumb was quite badly mashed, amputation will not be necessary, and the lad was yesterday reported to be improvised under the treatment of Dr. Lee. Forbes B. Sandilands leaves August 18, 1921 Residents in the northern part of the city have asked the trustees to pave Zeyn, Albert Wilhelmina and Sycamore street or, at least, certain portions of them. The question of oiling up paved streets was also discussed. Anaheim is noted for the extent of its paved streets, but there are many miles of thoroughfares yet unpaved, and the most extensively traveled are kept in good condition by oiling. The trustees their last meeting instructed the street superintendent to rush the work of oiling and get over much surface as possible before the winter rains set in. The four delegates from Anhelm post, American Legion at Yosemite left Tuesday morning for the park. They are Earl Cribb Morris Martenet, Evan Miller and Edwin Miller. The Bake-Brite baking company is fitting up a bakery in the Vienna hotel building, formerly occupied by the Valencia Grill. P.

Debits totaling $70,000 have accumulated against the lessee, William Hewins, and Judge Bledsoe has appointed W. H. Moore receiver.

We cite only a few instances with which we are familiar. In the present limits of view school district there was the beginning of last year not less than ten families, there are more than seventy-five. They are a school house, paid for, new colony of Westminster sprung up and a number of miles already located. To the aid of Santa Ana dwellings of newcomers are dotted over fertile plain from the river toward to the great San Joaquin. Of these the dwelling of J. Cosad and E. W. Squires lives special mention. A thrivown, Santa Ana has sprung at the midst of the settlement does a flourishing trade with surrounding country. The office of Riehfield has been started a new port opened at San Juan bay, whence the settlers much of their lumber sup- pended. In Anaheim many valuable songs have been erected, two which the residences of Phil H. Kroeger are being detected. Two fine hotels are to be built. In the way of works Chapman & Co. have added some $20,000 upon their canal and flume and many wells have been constructed. To Anaheim Landing have this year sold over two million feet of lumber and besides this several cargoes have been sold at Newport. Mr. John Fischer informs us that the question of the insurance upon the late Planters House has been settled and that he proceeds immediately to the erection of a new building upon the site of the old one, to be 72 feet front on each street and two stories high. The nucleus of an excellent brass band has been formed among us by four public spirited citizens who deserve praise for their efforts in this behalf. Messrs. E. A. Pullen, Andrew Gretty, Albert Johnson and George Sipple compose the present force. The band was organized about four months ago. Numerous instances of petty stealing have occurred lately. Mr. Bittner's fruit trees were robbed of their fruit and Mr. Phil Hammes has suffered two visitations, first losing a valuable chess table and set of chess men, and secondly a couple of clocks, one of which was a valuable regulator and had several articles of value inside it, all of which was carried off. A fine refreshing thunder shower occurred yesterday morning, commencing about 4 o'clock and continuing two hours. We feel better. Voluntary Health Insurance Urged By State Chamber "The California State Chamber of Commerce advocates the promotion of voluntary health insurance plans by private enterprise as a solution to prepaid medical care protection," James Mussatti, general maanger, announced Monday. "It is recognized by the state chamber that the health of our people is of utmost importance to California and the nation." He continued. "The state chamber is urging its members to participate actively in the furtherance of the voluntary principle in safeguarding health." Although the chamber is opposed to government-operated compulsory health insurance, it will continue to work actively toward cooperation and agreement between the medical and the administrators of private health insurance plans, according to Mussatti.
