ANAHEIM GAZETTE Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange County HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1878. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207. Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1897. Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 INCONSISTENT In spite of all the talk about disarmament in the United Nations meetings it is interesting to note that the Balkan nations which were on the Axis side are not being completely stripped of their armed forces, as one might expect, but in some respects are being allowed to establish even larger military units than they ever had before. For example, some of them will have stronger navies on the Danube and on the Black Sea. Air forces will also be permitted, although there will be no bombers, and conscription will not be prohibited. This does not mean that the armed strength of these countries will be great in comparison to that of the major powers, but the whole idea of letting them have more, instead of less war equipment seems inconsistent with the main topic of conversation at the UN meeting in New York. WITHOUT NEWSPAPERS something have no effective channel through which to reach others. The public is out of touch with its city government and out of touch with itself. The citizens of Springfield now know that the local newspapers have an importance which they never dreamed of—before September 27. Advertising does pay! BILL OF RIGHTS Bill of Rights Week—December 9 to 15—observes the 155th anniversary of the adoption of those first ten amendments to the Constitution which include the guarantee to Americans of freedom of speech and religion, the right of petition and freedom of the press. During the century and a half since these amendments came into being our Nation has grown from a group of small colonies clinging to the edge of a wilderness into a vast country extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific. IN THE DAY December 28, 1871 County Division The meeting at Enterprise on the 20th inst. was well attended, about fifty gentlemen present, representing the portions of the proposed county. Dr. J. E. Fulton was to the chair and Chas. A. C. named as secretary. Some petitions for county office which have been in circulation were returned with an apology of 600 signatures, and so dozen others not yet received will, it is thought, swell the ber to over a thousand. Edward Evey of Anaheim named as the choice of the king for representing the movement in the state legislature. The following committee was appointed for collecting to defray the expenses of the gates to Sacramento; L. H., Lard, John Dollan, E. H., B. S. C. Reynolds of Gallatin Olden of Anaheim, A. L., Santa Ana, Richard Egar Istrano, J. W. Fryor and W. Howe of Westminster and Dutcher of Azusa. Commander way and means: W. W. S. of Gallatin, W. R. Oldenheim and Wm. H. Spurgeon Santa Ana.

The adjourned to re-assess Gallatin on the 3rd day of December, at noon. Dr. Higgins estimates that WITHOUT NEWSPAPERS What newspapers mean to a community has been graphically illustrated in a report from the East regarding the experience of the city of Springfield, Massachusetts, where the publication of local papers ceased on September 27, due to a strike. Its more than 150,000 residents have had to depend on outside newspapers and the radio for their news. While these sources have helped to keep them fairly well informed about happenings elsewhere much of the vital local news—births, deaths, marriages, divorces, meetings, entertainment, events and the thousand and one items of information which readers obtain from the community newspapers—all these have been blotted out. Retailers in Springfield are reported to have suffered heavily due to lack of contact with the public which they usually have through newspaper advertising. Individuals who want to buy or sell things, or have lost or found anniversary or the adoption of those first ten amendments to the Constitution which include the guarantee to Americans of freedom of speech and religion, the right of petition and freedom of the press. During the century and a half since these amendments came into being our Nation has grown from a group of small colonies clinging to the edge of a wilderness into a vast country extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes. Yet, the Bill of Rights is as vital and important to America today as it was in 1791. We need to be constantly reminded however, that the liberties assured us under the Bill of Rights need to be guarded unceasingly if they are to be preserved for future generations. We can never afford to take them for granted. We can never afford to deny these liberties to any individual or group while we claim them for ourselves. But we cannot close our eyes to the fact that right here in this country are groups operating openly or secretly which, for various reasons, aim to deprive certain citizens of their basic freedoms. We must see to it that they do not succeed. The principles set forth in the Bill of Rights must be made to protect all Americans or eventually they will protect none.

Dr. J. E. Fulton was called to the chair and Chas. A. Gardner named as secretary. Some of the institutions for county division, which have been in circulation were returned with an aggregate of 600 signatures, and some half dozen others not yet returned, all it is thought, swell the number to over a thousand.

Wilson, our senator at Sacramento, has introduced a bill for "An act to prevent the capture and destruction of mocking birds in Los Angeles county" and it was referred to the committee on agriculture. The birds owe the Hon. Senator a serenade and doubtless he will get it. Wm. Dimmock favors us with the following, which is a very gratifying exhibit of the growth and progress of Anaheim, showing that in spite of all darwbacks, buildings to the value of $65,000 have been erected in this city during the year just drawing to a close. Value of building of Mr. Dimmock's own construction total $13,000 and the value of all other buildings $52,000.

About twenty feet-footed greyhounds did the running. Three jacks were caught after exciting runs and several escaped by the skin of their teeth.
