ATLANTIC CHARTER — REMEMBER? August 14 was not only the first anniversary of V-JDay but it also happened to be the date in 1941 when, following their secret meeting at sea, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill issued their joint declaration of common principles on which they hoped a "better future world" would be built. But on August 14, 1946, only five years after that historic declaration, the Atlantic Charter, as it was called, was all but forgotten. Even though the aims set forth in it were adopted by the United Nations when they first came into being in January 1942, some of these nations represented at the Paris conference act as if they had never heard of the Atlantic Charter. The old game of power politics to fit in with this outdoor eating, sleeping, playing and working. And styles of clothes in keeping with that spirit—clothes distinctly Californian in comfort and colorfulness—have been created by California fashion designers. California movies set the pace in the entertainment world. California farms head the parade in the agricultural realm both in value of crops and in advanced farming methods and farm labor standards. In the field of banking California's leadership is outstanding due largely to our unparalleled statewide branch banking system which extends its vast resources and facilities to more than 300 California communities. Thousands of persons who have come here in recent years have learned to use banks for the first time. Here they have found that banks seek to serve the many But on August 14, 1946, only five years after that historic declaration, the Atlantic Charter, as it was called, was all but forgotten. Even though the aims set forth in it were adopted by the United Nations when they first came into being in January 1942, some of these nations represented at the Paris conference act as if they had never heard of the Atlantic Charter. The old game of power politics not only continues but is being played even more ruthlessly than after World War I. Freedom from fear, freedom from want, freedom of speech, and so on. Noble! Inspiring! But today there is greater fear than ever due to the failure of Russia and the Western nations to see eye to eye on vital issues. Want has been prolonged, if not intensified, by this impasse. The many countries where opposition to the government dare not be voiced ridicules freedom of speech. It's not an encouraging outlook. And yet, not only in spite of the outlook, but because of it, we must work harder than ever to convince Russia that her safety as well as that of the world can come only through full cooperation with other nations. It is not easy, nor even pleasant. But it must be done. If we succeed even in a degree the world will benefit greatly. CALIFORNIA SETS THE PACE "You haven’t lived until you’ve lived in California!" That, in effect, is what California is telling the world today. For California is developing a mode of living within the American way of life that is distinctly different—and better, of course—than that of any of the other 47 states, or the rest of the world. In other words, California is setting the pace in modern living. Our California sunshine has much to do with it. The year 'round mild temperatures enjoyed by the greater part of the state encourages outdoor living. Homes here are being designed more and more value of crops and in advanced farming methods and farm labor standards. In the field of banking California’s leadership is outstanding due largely to our unparalleled statewide branch banking system which extends its vast resources and facilities to more than 300 California communities. Thousands of persons who have come here in recent years have learned to use banks for the first time. Here they have found that banks seek to serve the many instead of the few and that banking services have been developed to help even those in the lowest income groups. We Californians are accused at times of being too enthusiastic—yes, boastful—about the Golden Gate State. But that enthusiasm has helped to make California what it is today. And boasting isn't an unpardonable sin if you have something to boast about. And we have. That's why we say, "You haven't lived until you've lived in California!" H. G. WELLS The man who wrote "The War of the Worlds" has passed away. That play, you may recall, created considerable panic throughout the United States when the radio adaption of it was broadcast in October 1938. A good many Americans were positive that an invasion was under way. But that was but one of the many works produced by the prolific pen of H. G. Wells, who with Rudyard Kipling and George Bernard Shaw was one of Britain's three modern literary giants. His best known effort was "Outline of History" which sold more than half a million copies in the United States in one year. He predicted the coming of the atomic bomb in "The World Set Free," published in 1914. Few men have written so much so well. The Suez Canal was completed in 1869. It is 100 miles long, 420 feet wide at the surface and 31 feet deep.

Center St. Phone 5800 Anaheim IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago Sept. 2, 1871 Being to the short notice given, democratic speaking here on my evening was not as well used as it otherwise would be, but still a fair-sized force assembled at the speak-stand. Salutes were fired as usual on such occasions. The king was called to order by Johnson, Esq. of Santa Ana, also introduced the various officers to the assemblage. John McConnell of Sacramento spoke his remarks were quite timely and consisted principally elaborate review of the tariff from the origin of that fire of government policy through its various changes in present time. He was followed by Judge O'Melveny of Los Angeles who briefly discussed the local situation as illustrated the relations existing between government and the people. K. Ganahl, Esq., of Los Angeles succeeded the Judge upon speaker's stand and made good hits, which his audioplauded. C. E.

A big force of workmen are enrolled on Fischer's hotel, others excavating for the erection of a hotel on the corner of Concord Lemon. Mr. Richard Helms building a fine new real estate of passers by. Probably not one in ten of the strangers who pass through Anaheim have any idea that the town consists of anything more than the business portion which he can see from the principal corners, and yet there are here, hidden behind the foliage of the willow hedges, homes that are graced with all the appliances that wealth and taste can supply, embossed amid the richest of semi-tropical vegetation surrounded by shrubbery that a Shenstone might have envied, stored with all the luxuries that man can gather into himself here below. These thick hedges also shut off the sea breeze and thereby make the weather about ten degrees warmer in town than on the open plain. Taller trees would be much better, have no underbrush and avoid these disadvantages. Quite a speck of war has appeared near the line between Los Angeles and San Diego counties. A contest among the Indians for chieftianship between Olegario and Manuelito. The latter was appointed chief by Col. Whiting, Supt. of Indian Affairs and has held that position since 1851. Olegario wishes to supplant him and a conflict has resulted among the Indians which has kept the community of San Luis Rey, Pala, Mont Serat and as far as Warner’s ranch in a turmoil. Col. Brown and ten men was sent to sustain Manuelito. The news is that Brown is threatened with annihilation and that the Cahuller Advises of New City Tax Continued from Page 1. new sanitation tax.

Here is an exact copy of this letter: To Anaheim citizens: In order to meet new requirements for capital expenditure in the immediate future, the city of Anaheim has found it necessary to find new sources of revenue. There has been little or no expansion of utilities and service since 1930. During the war years, however, there has been a great influx of population.

As a consequence, our facilities are used to capacity. New and larger water mains must be put in throughout the city. The outfall sewer system must be enlarged through the ocean outlet. Our electrical system must be improved and a new unit substation must be built. Our water system must be extended and enlarged. Also, the cost of wages, materials, and services has been greatly increased, making new construction and general maintenance more costly. In order to raise the new revenue required, the city is putting into effect a sanitation charge, used generally throughout the state, covering street cleaning, sewer service, garbage disposal and trash collection.

McKinley informs us that we are yet about a hundred days of oranges in the county, that orders are coming in and eastern market is bracing up at it is confidently expected entire crop will be shipped on two or three weeks, or a month at most. Orange county has a larger number of carloads ranges on hand proportionally any other county, as ships from the other counties before the first of December, while here no oranges were sent until after the first of the year. But the crop will be all tied up within another month at satisfactory prices. The crop is setting in good shape gives every promise of being ready. Xex Henry is the latest acquaintance to the sound money ranks, being renounced his allegiance by Chicago platform and come for McKinley. Alex is one of the old-time war horses of Deacy, and the roar of his cannons been a conspicious feast of celebrations by the party abouts in the past. After Ireland's election Alex arose the peep o'day and with large lumber wagon filled with civilians and a drum corps, andannon, drove into town while citizens slept and awoke the men with the music and the son's war ere the morning all on account of the Democratic victory. With him were a number of other Democratic enacts, and we doubt if Bryan Manuelito. The latter was appointed chief by Col. Whiting, Supt. of Indian Affairs and has held that position since 1851.

Brown and ten men was sent to sustain Manuelito. The news is that Brown is threatened with annihilation and that the Cahullas under Manuel Largo have joined Oligario and are several hundred strong. The Dleguino Indians have been invited to join them and even as far out as the Colorado. Three men were committed to the county jail by Justice Davis on Monday last. CHARLES A. PEARSON, Mayor, City of Anaheim. TWO NAMED IN ANAHEIM WILL Mrs. Esther M. Foster, 600 West Chestnut street, Anaheim, and Henry T. Gohlman of Los Alamitos were named as heirs to the estate of their mother, Mrs. Alice M. Gohlman of this city who died July 21. The will was filed for probate in the superior court, Santa Ana, last Thursday. The estate includes two houses, one in Anaheim and the other in Los Alamitos, and $1000 in personal property. Thursday, September 8 at the home of Mrs. Joseph Helmsen on South Claudina street. There will be a program and tea will be served in the afternoon. St. Agnes Guild will serve ice cream in the evening. A sale is planned of fancy work, cooked food, etc. Everybody is invited. George Dunton received nineteen new Fords last week. He delivered four cars and two tractors to purchasers Friday. Miss Esther Grewco has returned from a two week's vacation spent at Catalina. Rev. A. B. Markle has been on the sick list but is now on the road to recovery. John L. Rimpau died at his home in Los Angeles on Sunday. Mr. Rimpau was a native of Anaheim, being a son of the late The- 25 Years Ago Sept 1, 1921 An article on the second page, the days of long ago" will be added an item setting forth that two new hotels were erected in this city fifty years ago. One was the Planters' at the northwest corner of Pier and Los Angeles streets, another was the Anaheim hotel in southeast corner of Center Lemon. The first was erected John Fischer and the second Henry Kroeger. Each was built by Karl Stappenback, who rebuilt the Pico house in Los Angeles, which at that time was the finest building in southern California. The Anaheim hotel later named the Palace, then Commercial. It was torn down a few years ago to make for the Valencia hotel. When Planters hotel was completed a large crowd gathered to witness ceremonies of raising the Stars Stripes above the structure, among those in the street in front of the hotel at the time was Uncle Fischer. A man on the roof raised the flag when he saw it was upside down. He called loudly to the man the roof that the flag was in, and asked that he immediately right it. The man did not continue to raise the emblem. Fischer called to him. This time he heard, lowering the flag, righted it and hoisted the masthead. There was a feeling in the crowd that the inverted flag was an omen of bad luck. Fischer stated he hoped no bad luck would come to the hotel as a result of the incident. The building was destroyed by fire in 1871 and was rebuilt immediately. It was again destroyed by fire July 4, 1890 and was never rebuilt. Fischer sold the hotel to Ed Dunham. It later became the property of N. H. Mitchel who now owns the property. Following the second fire the lot remained vacant for many years and was the scene of a number of large political meetings. Thirty days after the issuance of this paper City Manager Steward will put a force of mon on the job of demolishing the old city hall and the brick building adjoining. The brick, the metal and the timber is to be used in the construction of the new building, which will enable the city to put up a much finer building with the $75,000 available than would be possible if all the material had to be purchased from the fund. The Domestic Science section of the Ebell club will hold a picnic at the Orange county park this evening. A dinner and dance will be given and the revenue derived from it will be added to the building fund. The ladies of St. Michael's will give a garden party and fete on SHORT SHORTS If you noticed a girl bicycling down the road in the vicinity of Newport Harbor, you weren't seeing things. The five foot tiger mark she had draped across the handlebars was not a figment of our imagination; and the barra-das she nonchalantly carried on each shoulder were authentic also! Act is, she hooked them herself from the barge "Retriever," moor- at Whistler's kelp, while on a fishing trip. The black market's had its day. Morello LaGuardia, New York's mayor berated the public a short time ago, saying that when the OPA is knocked out of commission, the purple market will flourish. There's a gent in Lake Forest, Illinois, who can do better than that. He qualifies for the Technicolor Market" when he sells bubble gum to the kids at 3 cents a chunk! Nobody knows what really happened to Amelia Earheart; but when the Colorado and Lexington returned from their search for her, they brought back a certain amount of pictures taken of the possible areas where she might have crashed. The Marshalls and Mariannas were liberally snapped, and guess what happened? Right! The wealth of information contained in these pictures was used during the war as the shortest possible route... straight to Tokyo! J. B. Kelly of Compton reports the theft of a Bible. Who would do a thing like that? Maybe it's the same bird who sells bubble gum to kids for 73 cents a chunk!
