COLONY QUIPS Judge Charles Kuchel was laid to rest last week in his father's original plot in the Anaheim cemetery. He was born in Anaheim and lived here for almost eighty years. He died on property that was part of his father's vinyard just a block away from where he was born, also on the original vinyard. During Judge Kuchel's tenure of office there was one factor which stood out in all his dealings with the public. It was very apparent to all who had any business in the Anaheim Justice court. That factor was honesty. Whatever is said about him or his life and whatever opinion you may have about the man, this one sterling attribute you must admit, he was honest. When Judge Kuchel was a boy of fourteen he had a job in a local store run by a man whom we shall call Plato. Young Charlie swept out, kept the shelves filled, delivered merchandise and helped wait on the trade. After he had been on the job for several weeks old Plato thought he would test the boy's honesty. So Plato put a twenty-five cent place (equal to a ten dollar bill today) on the floor where Charlie could not help but see it when sweeping up. Well, Charlie saw the coin and divined the intention of his employer. He put down his broom, took the money to Plato and quit his job on the spot. We just saw two horses stand- VOLUME LXXV ANAHEIM COUNCIL REQUESTED TO NAME BALL PARK "HEFFRON FIELD" The city council is considering requests submitted by the Anaheim post of the American Legion and the Izaak Walton League asking that La Palma Park's baseball diamond be named "Heffron Field" dedicated to the late James Henry Heffron, veteran newspaperman of Anaheim, sports enthusiast and civic booster, who succumbed to a lingering illness last March, according to City Clerk Charles Griffith in his summary of the council session held last Tuesday night in the city hall. Heffron, a veteran of the first World War, was a long time officer in the Legion post here, residing in Anaheim for 25 years with his family at 556 South Clementine street. He achieved great local fame as a sportswriter, incessantly plugging the "Great American Game" of baseball. September reports from the city's officials were read to the council. Total expenditures of the city for the month were set at $48,436.76, with $43,554.48 of the total spent from September 16-30. Balance in the general fund during September was $45,689.47 YMCA Fund Drive A Big Success More than $51,924 was secured during the Y.M.C.A. Fund drive toward the goal of $90,000 as vealed in the final report leased last Thursday. Paul Demaree was general chairman. Auditors included Lon Forst chief, assisted by Orville Wood division No. 1; Dean Polhem division No. 2, and Mrs. Wan Morris, division No. 3. Paul Bakenhus' division No. was big test, with a total of $1842. A sum of $9,485 was raised by Frank Kellogg's division No. been on the job for several weeks old Plato thought he would test the boy's honesty. So Plato put a twenty-five cent piece (equal to a ten dollar bill today) on the floor where Charlie could not help but see it when sweeping up. Well, Charlie saw the coin and divined the intention of his employer. He put down his broom, took the money to Plato and quit his job on the spot. We just saw two horses standing side by side in a field under a tree, facing in opposite directions, switching flies off each other's faces. It made us feel hopeful about the human race. If horses can cooperate, why can't people learn to cooperate? Maybe the countries of the world could learn to cooperate. Maybe capital and labor can some day learn to supplement each other; like two horses. Yes, we are optimistic; maybe in a million years people will be as intelligent as horses. "Hustle" and "Boost" were two of the words heard often in the roaring twenties. These were, of course, boom days, when the country, or that part of the country west of the Atlantic states, was beginning to realize its unbelievable wealth. Money was being made by everybody, and even business men who would in ordinary times be failures, were minting the stuff. Every little community had its live wire booster gang and "hustle" was their watchword. Sinclair Lewis in "Babbit" gives a fair picture of these times, although a bit overdone. Hustle became the watchword of the nation, and to this very day, the same idea exists with all of us. But in twenty-odd years we have hustled ourselves right to the point where we now have to run all the time, like Alice in Wonderland, to stay in the same place. Where America once hustled to make money, America now hustles to keep alive. We rise early and we work late. We toss and turn in bed thinking of ways to "get ahead" and to do more business at a bigger profit. We rush to the restaurant and gulp our breakfast, rush up and down the street like volunteer firemen, grab our lunch on the fly, work Saturday afternoons and on Sundays work like fiends in the yard (so the neighbor's won't look any neater), or drive 80 miles an hour to the beach or with his family at 556 South Clementine street. He achieved great local fame as a sportswriter, incessantly plugging the "Great American Game" of baseball. September reports from the city's officials were read to the council. Total expenditures of the city for the month were set at $48,436.76, with $43,554.48 of the total spent from September 16-30.

According to Griffith, this is the largest amount of money ever collected by the department for any one month. The city's license fee collector took in $465.90 during the month. Seven thousand, fifty dollars and seventy-six cents was deposited in the treasury by the city auditor. As far as the building situation progressed, 51 permits were issued, valued at $135,692. Electric light, power and fixture permits added up to a total of 52. The city judge handled 277 cases in the courtroom last month, collecting $4,668 in fines and the police made 51 arrests, issuing a bank of 240 traffic citations.

We get stomach ulcers, tuberculosis and nervous breakdowns, die like flies from heart disease and crash into each other on the highways. All for the sake of progress, which was once a goal but is now a monster. From the cradle to the grave, all is hurry and bustle, and not one in twenty can enjoy the simple things God placed by his side to be enjoyed. We can make an airplane fly 700 miles an hour, build an atom bomb and turn out a thousand ships a week. We can't more than get a breath of all that life was meant to be. We're a hundred years ahead of grandpa in the matter of science and production and a hundred years behind in knowing how to get the real cream out of life. We're pretty darn smart, we are. It's impolite to call a nosey neighbor "steam shovel" just because she is always picking up dirt.

Coql weather in the east kept the demand for lemons fairly light, with movement of the fruit slightly under the level reached during September of last year. By product utilization; however, we one-third greater. Harvesting of the current grape fruit crop was nearly complete last month as was the case with summer avocados. The walnut crop is being gathered and the grape harvest is in full swing. Some injuries to tomatoes from sunburn were reported, but good shipments continued from several southern counties, including Los Angeles. The harvest of lima beans is well advanced. The crop is smaller than usual because of a lack of rain last winter and a hot summer.
