And we should use the occasion not merely for feasting and fun but to quietly contemplate the many things we have to be grateful for. Too many of us are inclined to accept the benefits and blessings of our experience as a matter of course, but we complain loudly and more or less constantly about its unpleasant phases. Although we live in an age of great material comforts and conveniences life is not easy. We have passed through trying years of war. We face trying years of peace. Economics, politics, international relations, family and social life all pose problems which press insistently for solution. But despite all this the good far outweighs the bad. We must not forget, for instance, that in the recent year of war our land was untouched by its violence. Our families were never subjected for deep thanks. May we as individuals and as a nation cultivate thanksgiving as a daily habit rather than limit it to a special ceremony on a special day. By so doing we shall make ourselves better citizens, our nation a better nation, our world a better world. THE ISSUE IS CLEAR Currently before the Civil Aeronautics board is an application of Pan American World Airways for certification of domestic routes. On the fact of it the application would command the interest only of, say, the airlines and the aviation companies. Actually, however, the issue is of paramount importance to practically every citizen on the west coast. Certification of domestic routes for Pan American World Airways is in keeping with the tenets of free enterprise so fervently advocated by the citizenry of this country. To the average citizen—be he a San Diego rancher, a Los Angeles resident or a New York City resident—he should be made to buildings and equipment not only with the government subsidized air foreign countries but also domestic lines here in this area. It also drastically reduces American's international revenue. Pan American World Airways asks now that it be permitted link its thirteen United traffic centers with more mile-a-minute clippers, ensuring the southwest the efficient, low-cost air transportation it deserves. Certainly the nation needs healthy competition along mestic air routes. DECAY IN THE PACIFIC It seems that we can build things faster, things run down faster than other people on the globe. At least, that's the imminent one gets in reading the first United Press correspondence made a 25,000 mile of the Pacific Islands we took from the Japs and we want to keep under our eyes as outlying links in our chain. During the war as each was conquered our Seahawks other construction experiments installed. But now we appear to be records in the opposite of Although the war with Japan been over hardly more year our island installations reported to be in a state of complete decay. On small lands which do not figure defense plans this does much. But as to the key it would seem that more should be made to buildings and equipment... great material comforts and conveniences life is not easy. We have passed through trying years of war. We face trying years of peace. Economics, politics, international relations, family and social life all pose problems which press insistently for solution. But despite all this the good far outweighs the bad. We must not forget, for instance, that in the recent year of war our land was untouched by its violence. Our families were never subjected to sudden death from the sky, our homes were not demolished nor our fields scarred by the fury of battle. For this alone we should be thankful not just on one day of the year but on every day. Since V-J Day the dire predictions of large unemployment and depressed economic conditions have not materialized. On the contrary, there are still more jobs than men to fill them, and our nation continues prosperous. This, too, is cause for gratitude. Yes, the very fact that we are Americans and live in this rich, productive land of ours, enjoying a freedom of speech and action such as few nations have today, is in itself something that calls On the fact or if the application would command the interest only of, say, the airlines and the aviation companies. Actually, however, the issue is of paramount importance to practically every citizen on the west coast. Certification of domestic routes for Pan American World Airways is in keeping with the tenets of free enterprise so fervently advocated by the citizenry of this country. To the average citizen—be he a San Diego rancher, a Los Angeles industrialist, or a San Francisco banker—free enterprise literally means more and keener competition. And competition in this case means better rates and improved service for the airline passengers and the shipper. Heretofore Pan American World Airways has been barred from competition with domestic lines on the ground it was given exclusive rights among United States airlines to fly international routes. Then came the recent war with an acceleration of overseas air travel. Domestic lines wanted in on this rich plum, and consequently were given certification to fly routes outside the country. That action by CAB threw Pan American World Airways in com- FURNITURE the Ideal Gift For Christmas This is just one of the many of our Occasional Tables $7.25 A Gorgeous Array of Beautiful This is just one of the many of our Occasional Tables $7.25 up Floor Lamps All styles and types from $23.50 Occasional Chairs Just the thing to fill that empty space $24.95 up You don't know comfort until you have set in a FLOAT - IN - EZE Platform Rocker from $54.50 SMITH-REAFSNYDER FURNITURE'CO. 151 N. Los Angeles Anaheim Phone 2 ANAHEIM GAZETTE IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago December 2, 1871 Session of the common council met November 27, 1871 at 3 o'clock p.m. Present Messrs. Champlin, Boege and Pres. Zeyn. The following bills were ordered to be dipa: F. Rimpau $36, T. T. Hill $25, Gazette $2, C. F. Lehman $10. Reports of treasurer and marshal for month of October approved. The mayor reported that he had caused a brand of the letter "A" to be made for the city pound, same was on motion accepted. Bill of P. Davis & Bro. referred to finance committee. The city attorney was requested to draw up an ordinance concerning the storing of hay within the fire limits of the city. The council then adjourned to December 11, 1871. A valuable colt, Grand Turk stock, two and one half years old, belonging to Harry Polhemus, was shot on Thursday evening last by some unknown parties and is likely to die. Even if farmers deem it necessary to shoot worthless and unmanageable wild horses which eat up their substance and have no responsible owners, there can be no excuse for killing a gentle horse belonging to a neighbor, when reparations could easily be had for any damage the animal had done. The new Planters hotel which now graces the spot left vacant by the flory exit of its predecessor, will be dedicated to the cause of hospitality by a grand ball on Saturday evening next. Tickets for gent and lady including supper only $3. Henry Bremmerman and C. Mossman, both old residents of Anaheim, returned by the last steamer from San Francisco. Mr. Bremmerman brings with him a portion of the furnishings of his new hotel which he expects to open by New Year's. Mr. Mossman formerly owned the place now owned by Mr. Bittner and we are glad to learn that he now intends to remain permanently with us. We have been shown by John Fischer a remarkable cluster of ears of corn which grew in his field on the east side of the city. It consists of eight ears, all growing together in one bunch, a large ear in the center and seven others around it. The following item is from the "City Paragraph", of Milwaukee, Wis.-The Anaheim (Cal.) Gazette, now published by Chas A. Gardner, comes to us in a much improved condition. It is highly appreciated as one of our exchanges. We have had an elegant sidewalk laid in front of the Gazette office, so that our subscribers can have a nice clean place to walk when they come to pay for their paper. We had quite a plantiful supply of rain the past week. Mr. Alfred Metcalf and family have arrived and are now living at the Coyote house. The first white frost of the season appeared on Tuesday morning. INCOME TAX CUT All reports from this indicate that the little foots the bill—Timothy payer—is going to have tax load lightly erably when the 80th convenes next January. Whether or not the reach 20 per cent as slicans have promised all certain. But it is reasonable to expect a rate at least 10 per cent. The question is: Do levies be reduced while tain all essential functions; reduce the total debt; provide funds to keep our army; their proper strength; tinue to give veterans they deserve? That's a pretty big may not be quite so fill as some congressmen Nevertheless, if the is used in the proper should be possible to. For one thing, the roll can certainly start trimming.

Although the war with Japan has been over hardly more than a year our island installations are reported to be in a state of almost complete decay. On smaller islands which do not figure in our defense plans this doesn’t mean much. But as to the key islands it would seem that more effort should be made to maintain buildings and equipment in good condition until a more permanent program, tied in with future defense needs, can be gotten under way. Of course, we’re not expecting any trouble in the Pacific for many years to come, if at all, but it never hurts to keep our installations ready for use in case a need for them should arise unexpectedly. In these days we can’t afford to be careless. WELCOME DAUGHTER Mr. and Mrs. George E. Ehrardt of Route 4, Box 317, this city, greeted a new daughter who arrived at the St. Joseph hospital, Orange, last Friday tipping the scales at seven pounds, 15 ounces. 50 Years Ago December 3, 1896 On Saturday the Republican hosts of Orange county wended their way down into the independent municipality of San Juan Capistrano for the purpose of presenting Don Marco Forster a silken flag emblematic of the county. At the recent election San Juan cast 83 votes for McKinley and 21 for Bryan—four to one—and is thus entitled to the honor of being classed as the banner Republican precinct of the county. About 200 people joined the excursion to attend the barbecue. Intimations have been given out that Don Marco had sent out vaqueros for days looking for the fattest beef in his vast herds to prepare for the barbecue. Arriving at San Juan the visitors, headed by a fife and drum corps marched to the home of Alcalde Egan, where Judge presented the banner to Don Marco, who thanked those present for the flag and bade them welcome to his home. The guests were soon seated at long tables under the trees where they were waited upon by many white aproned muchachos. The menu consisted of tortillas, tamales, cabezatatemt, tripes de leche, barbecued beef, frijoles and other tempting viands. They day was one long to be remembered. Miss Helen Benchley entertained her friends with a delightful dinner last Monday at her home in Fullerton in honor of her friend, Miss Margaret Guenther of Orange. The dining table was profusely decorated with holly. Those bidden to meet the guest of honor were the Misses Allie Fay, Edith Fay, Bertha Lee, Lil- lian Robison, Fritzie Helmann, Mable Langenberger, Winifred Melrose and Jessie Melrose. Quite a stream of water is running across country south of Miraflores, which comes from an overflow of the Fairview ditch. Very little water has run under the railroad bridge between this city and Santa Ana so far this season, although quite a stream ran under the Olive bridge after the recent rain. Waldo Brown and his sister, Miss Lottle Brown are spending a week visiting their parents here. Walod is attending school at Claremont and Miss Lottie at Los Angeles. Miss Nellie Browning entertained her young friends at her home on Saturday in honor of her sixth birthday. Miss Flora Davis visited with friends in Santa Ana several days the past week. Dr. Clark and wife of Fullerton and Supervision Potler and E. B. Foster of Centralia attended the barbecue at San Juan Capistrano on Saturday. Billy Berdrow had his sprinkler out yesterday for the first time since the rain. Chas. Edelman, the Democratic orator of Orange has been appointed special aide-de-camp to the deputy commander of the G.A.R. in California and Nevada. Miss Phebe Jones attended the session of the Christian Endeavor at Pasadena last week. 25 Years Ago December 1, 1921 A new subdivision is being opened in the J. B.

There will be 48 lots, 47 by 153. The tract lies east of Los Angeles street and south of South street. Three streets, Claudina, Philadelphia and Valencia, a new street running east and west will be cut through. The tract has been sold under contract to J. Lloyd Moore, who will place it on the market. Philip A. Stanton, wealthy southern California land owner and former Republican national committeeman, was quietly married to Miss Grace O'Sullivan, talented daughter of J. O'Sullivan, East Whittier walnut grower, several weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Stanton are now touring the east on their honeymoon. The wedding occurred on the 2nd inst., and members of both families were in ignorance of the event until it was over. A dispatch from Washington states that the newlyweds visited Chief Justice Taft, an old friend, and would visit President Harding and Secretary Hoover. The couple will make their home at Seal Beach on their return. Mr. and Mrs. John Eymann entertained at a large family dinner on Thanksgiving in honor of the birthday of Mrs. A. Frohling, Mr. Eymann's mother, Mrs. Frohling, was one of the original Pioneers of this city and was the first bride of the new colony. She is still haile and hearty in her eighty-fourth year. She still resides in the home in which she became a happy bride in 1859 in her 22nd year. She was the daughter of Mr. an dMrs. P. Hammes. Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Davis, of Area, were the hosts at a Thanksgiving family dinner, when a delightful dinner of turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pies, etc., was enjoyed. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. James Grewco, David Grewco, Mrs. McVey, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Zeppenfeld and children, Billy Davis and the host and hostess. Billy Knott has given up his position at Stroup's market and will open a shop of his own in the new Eisenhauer building, corner of Clementine and Center streets. Mrs. J. Zeigler was hostess at a family reunion on Thanksgiving day, when the traditional menu was enjoyed by members of the family. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. George Zeigler and son, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Park Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fala and the hostess. Miss Mackey West, of Bakersfield, a former teacher in the public schools here, spent several days visiting with friends in this city last week. Forty members of the Orange County High School Y. M. C. A. clubs went up to Santa Barbara to attend the state convention. Those from Anaheim were Dana Newkirk, Clifford Elliott, Marlow Janss, George Easton, Arthur INCOME TAX CUT All reports from Washington indicate that the little man who foots the bill—Timothy T. Taxpayer—is going to have his income tax load lightened considerably when the 80th Congress convenes next January. Whether or not the slash will reach 20 per cent as some Republicans have promised, is not at all certain. But it is not unreasonable to expect a reduction of at least 10 per cent. The question is: Can income levies be reduced while we maintain all essential functions of government, reduce the towering national debt, provide sufficient funds to keep our armed forces at their proper strength, and continue to give veterans the aid they deserve? That's a pretty big order and it may not be quite so easy to fulfill as some congressmen believe. Nevertheless, if the economy axes used in the proper places it should be possible to accomplish. For one thing, the federal payroll can certainly stand a lot of trimming. If the number of persons now clogging government offices is out down to a reasonable level the saving to the taxpayers will amount to many hundreds of millions of dollars annually. The paring down of other departmental expenses will also help, especially if congress lets it be known that no further appropriations will be granted to cover deficits. While there is no possibility that government expenses can ever be reduced to their pre-war level—and that means that income taxes are never likely to be as low as they were a few years ago—there is still no valid excuse for the federal budget to remain at its present level. Real economy in Washington—the taxpayer wants nothing less—will put the government on a white cross on a red field, is the oldest unchanged national flag in existence, and dates from about 1218. It takes twice as long to grow vegetables for seed as for commercial production; the first plant has to reach market stage—then later it goes to seed.
