ANAHEIM GAZETTE Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange County HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1837-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207.

Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $9.50; 6 Months, $1.25 AND STILL THEY COME "California has been on the receiving end of the greatest movement of people in world history—a movement which dwarfs the crusades, and makes the gold rush seem like a Boy Scout outing." So declared Robert de Roos, staff writer of the San Francisco Chronicle, after a lengthy tour of the Pacific coast. According to figures quoted by him, California now has a population of 9,225,000 and has gained 2,320,000 during the war years—and there is no sign of a let-up. The popularity of our state has been most gratifying to our pride but most trying on our nerves. Attempting to provide living quarters for the millions of newcomers has been, and still is, a tough job. This matter however, does not concern newcomers alone for there are a good many thousands of lifelong Californians also looking for a place to call home. But the housing troubles are not the only ones. The problem of accommodating the other needs is not any easier. Stores, shops, of our greatly swollen population banks, restaurants—virtually every type of business directly serving the public—are finding that they simply haven't enough space to properly take care of the surging mass of customers. Thousands of business houses have plans already prepared to expand their facilities as soon as they can obtain building materials. Right now most building supplies are being channeled into home construction, but it is hoped that this situation will ease before long so that the constantly intensifying needs for commercial and industrial building can be met. Even if the population increases at all during the two or three years it would ably take that long, or long California to catch up with But the westward tide is slowing down. So, it looks we have a building job last for years and years. INTERNATIONAL PEACE "Although there may be lingering ideas as to the best practice for insuring permanent peace, there can be no comment with the truth that understanding between the plains of the world is a precondition to the final achievement highest goal of all. Nor can any dispute with our allies that such understand be made easier by the enactment of the Toastmaster throughout the world. We men freely and intelligentlycuss their problems in opinion, better understand the natural results."
