A MESSAGE OF THINGS TO COME The city of Anaheim is facing another municipal election to be held on the second Tuesday of April for the purpose of electing two members of the city council. Now then, Anaheim is a municipal corporation valued at around $25,000,-000. It is the largest business we have. It is the most important one to every citizen. - It serves us water. - It handles our sewerage. - It protects us from fire. - It protects us from harm. - It serves us electricity. - It keeps up and sweeps our streets. - It keeps up and patrols our parks. - It collects our garbage and trash. - It lights our streets. It keeps up and sweeps our streets. It keeps up and patrols our parks. It collects our garbage and trash. It lights our streets. It patrols our traffic. It inspects our new buildings to see that they come up to a standard. It does a lot of other things it would take pages to enumerate. It does all this and more at a ridiculously low cost. This is easy to prove. Our tax rate of 85 cents per $100 of valuation is the lowest in the area. The single exception is Signal Hill which has no tax rate due to oil income. Now again, this all did not just happen. It was caused by a lot of far-sighted men who sit as a board of directors on our council. They run the show. If the job is done well they deserve a hand. The undersigned committee which is sponsoring this advertisement is a purely voluntary group. We have no axe to grind. We want nothing from the city except continued good government. We live here, work here, pay taxes here—and want to keep on doing so. We are certainly not exclusive and anyone wishing to join us is more than welcome. It will cost you no money. We plan a series of informative advertisements that will run every week until election. They will not delve into personalities but will try to present to all the citizens of Anaheim the record of achievement behind this council so you may know certainly not exclusive and anyone wishing to join us is more than welcome. It will cost you no money. We plan a series of informative advertisements that will run every week until election. They will not delve into personalities but will try to present to all the citizens of Anaheim the record of achievement behind this council so you may know the things we have made it our business to find out. We think it is every citizen's business to know some of these things. We are undertaking to bring you the facts. We are sold on Anaheim and believe it is time to tell them so you may know just how this $25,000,000 corporation is being run. Yes, we have a motive, it is simply to get out a large vote on election day. We urge you to read our ads, study them and ask questions. We stand squarely for the election of Ray Van Wagoner and Charles Pearson. We have urged them to stand for re-election and we are back of them. We think their job has been well done. We know we can prove it and will do so by a series of advertisements that will, in the ensuing weeks, appear in our newspapers. Your job is to vote with the best interests of Anaheim at heart. This ad is run by the order of and sponsored by: Citizens Committee to Retain Van Wagoner and Pearson County Fair and Water Problems Discussed at Meet The Agricultural Committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county recently met at the home of Walter Schmid when the main points of discussion were the county fair and the water problem of this county. Present for the meeting were Mr. Schmid, R. G. Hudson, Willis H. Warner, Vernon Heil, Rick Crill and Secretary William Allienne. Some discussion was given to the county fair and the acquisition of acreage at the Santa Ana Army Air base by the 32nd District Agricultural Association, the committee generally conceding that the air base was the best available site for the fair. A motion was passed recommending to the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County Board of Directors that the agricultural group go on record as favoring the acquisition of the Army site for a permanent use for the Orange county fair and that the 32nd District Agricultural Commission be so advised. Discussion was quite general on this subject. Discussion relative to the water supply in Orange county and the need of cities using Metropolitan Water was held. Vernon Heil said that the Orange County Water District several years ago created policy for water conservation in the county and he believed the same policy could be endorsed for the best interests of the county native to water and its uses.

More than a million bags have been produced during the past year at the San Quentin jute mill and will be ready for delivery to ranchers throughout the state on April 1. During the war the supply of raw jute on hand at San Quentin was frozen for use of the Armed forces and no new shipments of any considerable size were received until approximately one year ago. Since the war ended, the supply of raw jute, all of which is shipped from Calcutta, India, has not been restored to normal. San Quentin grain bags have been a standard item of equipment on California ranches for many years. They are 22 by 36 inches in size, and are of heavy quality. No jute cloth for grain bags is woven in California except at San Quentin. The San Quentin bags are sold at cost of manufacture plus cost for overhead required in guarding prisoners and replacement of plant and equipment.

Anaheim Gazette PHONE 2206 259 EAST CENTER Mira Loma Depot Closes As an economy measure, the Mira Loma Distribution Center for World War II dead returned to the southern California area, will be deactivated on March 31. This statement was made today by Col. T. H. Ramsey, commanding officer, Mira Loma Quartermaster Depot at Mira Loma. “Our Distribution center,” Col. Ramsey stated, “has been charged with the responsibility of militarily escorting World War II deceased servicemen to next of kin in southern California, Arizona and New Mexico. In view of the very small percentage of the national total of World War II remains being returned to that area, in accordance with the wishes of their next of kin, the Quartermaster General has considered it more economical for the Distribution Center at San Francisco to handle the remains of southern California and Arizona deceased coming home. “One officer and two civilians,” Col. Ramsey concluded, “will remain at the Mira Loma Distribution Center until May 30th to answer inquiries and requests from next of kin, veterans and patriotic organizations, and other interested persons.” TO APPEAR IN EASTER CONCERT Fullerton Junior college students from this vicinity who will appear with A Cappella choir in an Easter assembly on the campus, Friday morning, include Bernadette Heinz, Barbara Rees and Ruth Thatcher of Anaheim; Howard Blevins, Grahame Christie and Donald Stedman, La Habra; Friendly Dogs Want ‘Some Folks’ Two residents of the Anaheim animal shelter wish to own somebody, Robert Spencer, pound master, stated today.
