ANAHEM GAZETTE Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange County HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1857-1935 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, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 SPECIAL WEEK FOR THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED This week (October 6-12) is "National Employ the Physical Physically Handicapped Week," established by a joint resolution of congress, adopted a year ago and approved on August 11, 1945, thereby becoming Public Law No. 176, which designates the first full week in October of each year for this purpose. Embodied in the law is a request to the President to issue an appropriate proclamation inviting participation by all concerned. The establishment of this special week was sponsored jointly by the Disabled American Veterans and the American Federation of the physically handicapped. There are approximately 400,000 service disabled veterans of World War I. The D.A.V. estimates that by the end of next year there will be about 2,500,000 com- for the handicapped employee. It is the same process any employer goes through in utilizing the capabilities of any employe. He wouldn't, for example, put a draftsman to running a lathe. Actually, "selective placement" is basically only a changed viewpoint on the part of the employer. It means looking at the handicapped worker from the standpoint of what he can do rather than what he cannot do, on the basis of his remaining abilities, rather than on the basis of his disabilities. The job of changing the handicapped from a public liability to a public asset is one requiring the best and most intelligent cooperation among employers, public agencies and private organizations, the press and the handicapped themselves. We of the D.A.V. invite and need your cooperation toward the not unlikely that they do their misdeeds—but for their fear a keen sense of regret—not sure to make certain moves when they were still in power, whichever saved Germany from defeat at least, saved their necks. These men who dealt death so many millions of innocent people now have a reluctant rendezvous with the Grim Reaper. They believe in life after death they are probably worried about the possibility of meeting some of their victims. They should worried. Let us hope that the results Nuremberg will serve to impel upon the ambitious militarists today and tomorrow that aggressive warfare and inhuman brutality leads only to the end of road where awaits—the end of Europe. If this point has got over to them Nuremberg will have been in vain. COMMUNITY CHEST It is not likely that the Amherst can people, after sending millions of dollars abroad to, the needy of Europe and Asia will not fail to provide the more necessary to main the National Community Chests and their reaching welfare activities here home. In setting the keynote for drive President Truman declare "In your Community Chest can paign . . . people find common ground. They forget the small things that divide them they remember the great thing that unites them: their community humanity." This year the needs of the Community Chest are hardly less intensive or less imperative than they have been in recent years. More than a million The establishment of this special week was sponsored jointly by the Disabled American Veterans and the American Federation of the physically handicapped. There are approximately 400,000 service disabled veterans of World War I. The D.A.V. estimates that by the end of next year there will be about 2,500,000 compensable disabled veterans of World War II, in addition to nearly 500,000 of previous wars. Moreover, there are probably at least 3,000,000 other non-service connected physically handicapped veterans. There are also about 22,000,000 non-veterans who have been handicapped as the result of industrial accidents and other causes. Unemployed handicapped persons are national and community liabilities, but properly placed they become local and national assets. Our job, the objective of this week, is to help to convert them from liabilities—to themselves, their dependents, and their communities—into assets. Wide and unprecedented use of handicapped workers during World War II demonstrated the amazing fact that properly placed physically handicapped workers are not only as efficient and productive as other employees—they are generally superior workers. Having found a job they can do, they are more loyal, productive, serviceable, cooperative, dependable, resourceful and careful, as well as less frequently absent from work and less likely to be injured than their able-bodied fellow employees. Their realization as to the several disadvantages of disabilities has psychologically conditioned them to do their utmost to make good. Much of the success resulting from the use of the physically handicapped during the war resulting from the comparatively new technique of "selective placement;" this means individual consideration to determine what job in any plant any particular handicapped worker has the physical capacity, aptitude and ability to perform, and providing what supplemental training may be necessary to fit him for such best suited job. It means fitting the worker to a job that he is fitted for—not trying to "make a job" The job of changing the handicapped from a public liability to a public asset is one requiring the best and most intelligent cooperation among employers, public agencies and private organizations, the press and the handicapped themselves. We of the D.A.V. invite and need your cooperation toward the constructive solution of the many interrelated problems concerning our physically handicapped, both veterans and non-veterans. We have a great deal of additional information on the subject, some of which will be submitted to you during "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week," which we will gladly make available to you. Additional pertinent information may also be obtained from the Santa Ana office of the Veterans Administrations, the United States Employment Service and the Orange County Service Center. THEY WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE When men face death—like the eleven Nazis who await the fatal day and hour in the Nuremberg prison—they usually do a good deal of thinking. Undoubtedly this miserable little group are doing plenty of thinking right now—thinking of their days of glory when they seemed destined to become the masters of all Europe if not of the whole world; thinking how close they came to achieving that ambition; how close they came to crushing England; how close to an break-through to Suez and into the vital Middle East;—how close to achieving all this and yet to end up in failure and ignominious death. Maybe they are thinking angrily how lucky their partners in crime were who got off with comparatively mild sentences or were acquitted. Much of the world world thinks angrily about that, too. It's barely possible that some of them are thinking about the enormous crimes they have committed. That they have any sense of remorse can hardly be expected since they have proven themselves moral idiots. But if is In setting the keynote for drive President Truman declares "In your Community Chest can paign... people find common ground. They forget the small things that divide them they remember the great things that unites them: their common humanity." This year the needs of the Community Chest are hardly less intensive or less imperative than they have been in recent years. More than a million and half of our boys are still in service. The USO, which receives its money through the Community Chest, is doing a good job looking out for them during their leisure hours. But that job in coming year will require $19 million. Besides this, financial support must be made available for various agencies which help relieve hardship and suffer among the poor and underprivileged. The work of such organization as the YMCA and Boy Scouts building better citizens of tomorrow is actually more important now than ever. The steadying fluence of these organizations counteract, to a large degree, youth delinquency and lawlessness which almost invariably becomes more acute following a great wave. We need not go on reciting many reasons why you should give all you can to your Community Chest. You know great things it has done, is done and will continue to do if given the money to work with. Undoubtedly, that knowledge will prompt you to give—and get seriously. YOUR NEWSPAPER The observance of National Newspaper Week which takes place from October 1 to 8, serves to call public attention to vital part which the newspapers play in the life of the American community. In fact, the newspaper is much a part of our lives most of us take it for granted. Yet, how would we feel if we couldn't buy a newspaper? Spite of magazines and the rawness wouldn't we feel definitely our touch with the affairs of our community and, to a large extent with the affairs of the nation? The newspaper serves not only as a source of information but also as a medium of public expression both through the publication letters received from readers. SPECIAL!

CENTER PHONE 4252 IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago Oct. 21, 1871 Adieu, friends and patrons of the Anaheim Gazette. Our intercourse ends with our brief year—a season filled with active scenes and very many pleasant incidents. My attachment for you and association with you all could only be served by what has now occurred, namely, an opportunity for a wider scope and broader field of action. My new field of labors, however, is not far removed and I still hope to keep in communication with many of you through the columns of the Los Angeles Star. You have in this learned something of the pen of my successor, and be assured that he will always wield its power for your good. Under his management the Gazette cannot but improve and flourish. Give him your active support and believe me, he will deserve it to the fullest extent.—George W. Barter. To my friends: As will be seen by the above announcement, I have bought the Gazette and am now its sole owner, editor and manager. As such and as a citizen of Anaheim, whose interests are all centered here, I shall use the paper to advance in every possible way the section of country it represents. I regard the portion of Los Angeles county south of the San Gabriel river as the field of a local journal, and that field I shall, to the best of my ability, write up, advertise and make known to the world. On the question of county division, I am as is well known, in favor of it, believing it is best for our local interests to have our own local county government. As to politics, I am personally a Democrat, but shall devote these columns to a complete showing of our local business interests rather than to political discussions. In conclusion, I would respectfully solicit your co-operation and support and ask a continuance of that liberal patronage which the Gazette now enjoys.—Charles A. Gardner. The festival on Thursday evening last was a decided success. The singing was most excellent and evinced careful preparation. All who attended enjoyed a musical treat such as is seldom offered in our little city. The song of the ship, "Three Bells," was especially fine. The pathetic tale of "Grafting him into the army," was finely sung by Mrs. A. S. Hawkins. The tableau "Goddess of Liberty," by Nellie Kuchel, was very pretty. The comic scene "Women's rights" was laughable. The refreshments were reasonably furnished and at a reasonable price. The fire alarm bell has been removed from its original location to the lot east of Enterprise hall. Mr. Bremmerman has authorized us to say that the roof of his new hotel building will be on by tonight and he extends a cordial invitation to the public to meet him there and there commemorate the occasion with a little good cheer.
