COLONY QUIPS We submit that the hardest thing anyone ever tried to do was to get back in the harness after a more or less hard earned vacation. When its all over it does not look like its worth the effort or maybe we are just getting old. With all due respect to the beautiful coastline of Orange county Santa Catalina Island is about the prettiest spot these old eyes have seen. The coloring, the spirit, the way things are handled and the various activities going on all the time make a stay at Catalina one that cannot easily be forgotten. We have been going to the island since 1912 and every time it gets more beautiful. The late Wm. Wrigley, Jr. had the vision to start much development going in a sound way. His son P. K. Wrigley has gone along in the same way and the results of their planning are now very easy to see. The bird park, the submarine gardens, the flying fish trip, bus sightseeing trips and many others are all very worth while things to do. The Casino with its lovely dance band is a spot of breathless beauty and also a place you would have no hesitancy in letting your children attend. A good time was enjoyed by all present and we can heartily recommend a trip to Catalina.

NEW TAX ORDINANCE GETS OKAY AT COUNCIL MEETING Anaheim’s new tax levy for the fiscal year of 1946-47 was passed at a meeting of the city council in the council chambers of the hall last Tuesday night, setting a rate of 80c assessed valuation $100.00. This will mean a total assessed valuation of $12,824, plus $761,030 on unsecured personal property, raising the total $13,585,550. A new city patrolman was appointed by Chief of Police Mark A. Stephenson. His name: William D. Neuner, of 515 South Resh street; height: six feet five inches; weight: 280 pounds! The appointment was approved by the council. Mrs. Dene M. Williams was appointed deputy city clerk by Charles Griffith, city clerk, the appointment being ratified by the council. Three bids were received for the construction of the 8000 KVA substation in the industrial section of the city. General Electric corporation bid $51,563.00; Allis-Chalmers corporation, $50,233.00 and Westinghouse Electric, $51,-787.00. The bids were held over for tabulation until the next meeting. Senator Knowlman Will Pay Visit To Orange County United States Senator William F. Knowland will pay an official visit to Orange county Wednesday September 18, it was announced today by Ranald A. Fairbairn Orange, chairman of the senate Orange county campaign committee. Beginning with a breakfast meeting at the Laguna hotel, the senator will then tour the harbor area, come to Santa Ana at no for a combined Kiwanis, Rotary Lions service club luncheon me Clayton F., "Skinny" Skirvin, Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce field representative and pioneer Santa Ana newspaperman, is planning a trip with his wife Mayme, back to Creston, Iowa, this fall. It was 74 years ago that "Skinny" moved into Iowa from the east with his family, in a covered wagon. Long a publisher, his old newspaper, the Creston, Iowa, Advertiser, just celebrated its 75th anniversary. All his life "Skinny" Skirvin has been a good newspaperman. In all the long years of his newspaper work in Iowa and Santa Ana, he has always interpreted his task as a civic duty. It is doubtful if he ever wrote a serious news story or editorial without first asking himself the question: "Will what I say help or hurt my community and am I sure it is free from petty personal prejudices?" So long as editors follow his precept, "freedom of the press" will be secure in America. Skinny has one other attribute rare among men who write. He is equally quick witted and nimble when he speaks and his delicious sense of humor is a tradition in Santa Ana. The recollections he is now writing of a colorful career, give promise of many a shrewd observation on the people he has known and the spirit of his times. During the depression, the wolf always seemed to be at the back door. Now the wolf is gone, but while we were shooing him away, the tax collector has arrived at the front door. The government is selling off plenty of surplus goods these days, and some queer items can be found on the lists. One strange one is the sale of 2,000,000 surplus teeth. A neighboring editor suggests that they might be sold to legislative bodies to be placed in some of our laws. As long as men can be distinguished from scarecrows, there will be no rush to buy clothing at inflated prices. The best day in which to accomplish something is the day before deputy city clerk by Charles Griffith, city clerk, the appointment being ratified by the council. Three bids were received for the construction of the 3000 KVA substation in the industrial section of the city. General Electric corporation bid $51,563.00; Allis-Chalmers corporation, $50,283.00 and Westinghouse Electric, $51,-787.00. The bids were held over for tabulation until the next meeting. The council ordered the city plunge to be closed after Sunday, September 8. The city's recreation program will close after Friday; September 18. A hearing was held concerning setbacks recommended by the City Planning commission. The council ordered an ordinance drawn establishing setbacks on portions of North Los Angeles street and North Lemon street as follows: on the northeastern side of North Los Angeles street from La Palma avenue to Lemon street, 65 feet from the center of the street; and on the east side of North Lemon street from Los Angeles street to the north city limits, 50 feet from the center of the street. The plan will be carried out by ordinance as there were no objections. The city planners also recommended a zone change to the council, following a request by petition of property owners in the area effected. As given by E. P. Hapgood, city engineer, the area bounded by South Los Angeles street, East South street, South Olive street and East Vermont avenue was recommended to be changed from the single family residence zone to the two-family residence zone. The council ordered the change to be drawn up as an ordinance. ADMISSION DAY THIS MONTH TOO! Still sun burned but happy after enjoying "an outing" on Labor Day with the rest of the nation, most Anaheimers are looking forward to another extra vacation this month. Admission Day, a state holiday next Monday. Many business establishments plan to close their doors, but most commercial places will remain open, with the exception of the banks. Arabella M. Mansfield was the first American woman lawyer. She was admitted to the Iowa bar in 1869. F. Knowland will pay an office visit to Orange county Wednesday September 18, it was announced today by Ranald A. Fairbain Orange, chairman of the senate Orange county campaign committee. Beginning with a breakfast meeting at the Laguna hotel, the senator will then tour the harbor area, come to Santa Ana at no for a combined Kiwanis, Rotary Lions service club luncheon meeting, following which there will be a press conference with members of the Orange county public association. In the afternoon, the senator will make an appearance at the meeting of the county Pro-Amica group at the home of councillor chairman, Mrs. Horace J. Stevens and in the evening will be honored guest at a dinner at the women clubhouse in Orange. After dinner meeting he is scheduled to appear at an evening flesta to hold in the Greek theater in Anaheim City park. The flea will be a gala affair featuring Mexican music and dances highlighted by the personal appearance of Leo Carrillo who will be master of ceremonies for the evening. Accompanying the senator in his county tour will be M. Knowland and Congressman Mrs. John Phillips who will with him all day. Also, scheduled to be with the senate throughout the day will be Leastman, chairman of the Orange County Republican central committee. Gordon K. Richmond vice-chairman of the same organization, and Fairbain. "Senator Knowland has outstanding recognition in United States since his appointment by Governor Warren," Fairbain said. "He has been named to committees that ordinarily not come to 'freshmen' congressmen. He now serves on four important senate committees as well as having been named on special 'war atomic energy' committees — extremely important posts." "He is much interested in Orange county and comes for dual purpose of informing people here of his work and standing in and desire in the way of national legislation." PLANS NOW BEING FORMULATED FOR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS The enormous task of decorating Anaheim's streets for Christmas once more faces the Retail Division of the city's Chamber of Commerce, with several meetings of the various committees and membership taking place during the week, and a resulting definitive five-pointed conclusion being reached. Ken F. Hellyer, chairman of the Retail Executive committee, contacted the local merchants by mail this week, stating the five conclusions to them as follows: 1. That, Christmas decorations are indispensable to trade and to creating a festive holiday spirit. 2. That, poor decorations are a detriment rather than a benefit. 3. That, Anaheim's decorations must at least equal those of Fullerton, Santa Ana and nearby competitive cities. 4. That, a long-range plan shall be devised and followed. This includes the purchase of certain materials and properties which will be a part of a constantly improving pool of decorative materials. 5. That, a plan of permanent sound financing be adopted in order to carry out a long-range plan of decoration—a revolving fund will be established. "We find that Fullerton, after struggling for years with this problem, has wisely planned and raised a fund of $4500 this year," said Hellyer. He pointed out that Santa Ana will have decorations equal to those of last year. The committee plans to decorate the streets of Anaheim "in a manner that will please our merchant and make our citizens proud." was concluded that an adequate fund to begin a permanent, long-range plan of decoration would be raised. This idea was weighty from every possible angle by the committee and is supported by membership. The voluntary assessment plan based upon store front footings was found to be favored overwhelmingly by most cities, following a survey of financing plans. Hellyer's committee found that order to raise sufficient funds to decorate nine blocks, it will necessary to set the charge at $1.50 per front foot this year, reducing it next year. Statements were mailed to each merchant in an effort to facilitate the work of the various "ble captains," with an assurance that if any errors in the measurements of the store fronts were found corrections would be fully authorized. ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1946 ANCE GETS MEETING A year of 1946-47 was passed by council chambers of the city to assess valuation on land valued at $12,824,520 property, raising the total to $13,824,520. inator Knowland Will Pay Visit to Orange County United States Senator William Knowland will pay an official visit to Orange County Wednesday, November 18.

Fairbain of the senator's county campaign committee. ning with a breakfast at the Laguna hotel, the will then tour the harbor home to Santa Ana at noon combined Kiwanis, Rotary, service club luncheon meet- 'Kids and Matches' Cause Weed Fire; Shed Damaged Heavy growths of dried and matted weeds, coupled with "kids and matches" caused a sudden, quickly-moving fire to enter a shed at 129 South Melrose street, damaging one side, the roof and rear wall extensively last Tuesday at 12:05 noon. Summoned by a phone call, the city's fire department arrived in time to prevent the blaze from spreading to nearby homes. Hand extinguishers, an engine hose, and one garden hose wielded by regulars and volunteers, knocked out the fire within fifteen minutes after it had started. Fire Chief R. Nyboe sternly denounced the practice of permitting weeds to flourish in a back yard, emphasizing the possible danger to human life and property which can result so easily from "kids playing with matches, a carelessly tossed cigarette butt or any number of other causes." "Homes are too hard to get," said Chief Nyboe, "Why burn them down through carelessness!" Rockets Could Hit Earth from Moon It couldn't be stated positively that Anaheim is in immediate danger of rocket bombing but the possibility was offered very convincingly by H. L. Farnsworth, president of the United States Rocket society, in a recent speech before a group of Chicago businessmen when he stated that Germany's V-2 rocket in its present state of development could be used to bombard any point on the earth from the moon. Farnsworth declared that with $250,000 he could build a man-carrying rocket in two years capable of reaching the moon. "Any earth nation holding earth's satellite would be able to bombard any point on the earth with rockets," said Farnsworth, "and besides, the moon is the key to the exploration of the entire solar system." "Not only is the moon a valuable prize," he added, but it could also become a shuttle station to flights from the moon to Mars, Venus and beyond."

Warren, executive-secretary of the Southern Orange county office, 820 North Main street, Santa Ana, this week. The call came to her from Orange County hospital. Mrs. P. M. Wheeler, local chapter chairman, stressed the desperate need for clean materials which are required to be at least 80 per cent wool. Donations may be left at the local Red Cross headquarters on the second floor of the city hall or at any county office; she stated. At present there are four polio patients at the Orange county hospital and several persons convalescing in private homes in the county.

The materials are made into standard sized packs by volunteer Red Cross workers at the county office from patterns issued to them by the hospital.

Born in Anaheim January 25, 1878, she had lived here continuously where she was well known socially and in business circles. The daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. James S. Gardiner, she was in the insurance business and a notary public at the time of her passing. The family history is one of the most interesting of any of the city pioneer families. Her father, born in Scotland, came to Anaheim in 1869 as a practising physician and was a railway mail clerk for a number of years. Her mother came to Anaheim in 1870, coming overland in a covered wagon from Texas with her sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Porter, who lived at Fullerton until their passing several years ago. A treasured heirloom in the family today is the diary kept by Mrs. Gardiner, who at that time was Mrs. Tarver. Members of Mrs. Coons family were confederates, a distinction the family proudly carried through the years. Dr. and Mrs. Gardiner, at intervals through the years they lived here, were postmaster and postmistress and were identified with the local telegraph office when it was established here in the early days. Mrs. Coons was assistant to her mother as postmistress during the second Grover Cleveland administration. Dr. Gardiner was postmaster during President Cleveland's first administration. Mary Ellen Coons was a member of the First Presbyterian church of this city; United Daughters of the Confederacy, one of the last two living charter members; honorary life member of the Orange County Democratic Central committee; honorary life member of the Railway Postal Employees Association; charter member of the American Legion Auxiliary; charter member of Chispa Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star; Business and Professional Women's Club, and Neighbors of Woodcraft.
