Constitution Day Great things stand the test of time. The United States Constitution has stood the test of time, for it was 161 years ago on September 17 that the Constitution came into being. The decades have diminished neither its vigor nor its value. On the contrary, its force and influence are probably greater today than ever before. Discussing this great document Bryce declared in his "American Commonwealth" that it "ranks above every other written constitution for the intrinsic excellence of its scheme, its adaption to the circumstance of the people, the simplicity, brevity, and precision of its language, its judicious mixture of definiteness in principle with elasticity in details." In a world where liberty is being denied the people in many areas by totalitarian rulers, the United States Constitution shines as a beacon light of hope. We must keep this light shining. And the way to do it is to practice the principles of freedom set forth in the Constitution. It is not enough to demand the recognition of our own rights; we must respect the rights of others. Freedom, like charity, begins at home. Kids and Cops Of interest to all communities is the youth project in San Mateo which has headquarters right in the police station. Explaining the purpose of the project, police Chief Robert O'Brien said, "Up to now our dealings with the boys have been iterated to 'negative' meetings—when they into trouble. We thought if we had a way contacting the youth of the community there could be a close association between us, then they could learn the value of work to the community, and we in could better understand the boys." It looks like the chief has something to say. A youngster making use of the recreation facilities at the police station is not to meet either bad company or trouble. What's more, he'll learn that policemen friends, not fellows who want to cram activities and spoil his fun.

School Opening Brings Problems About one million, six hundred thousand youngsters dusted off book bags and cleaned lunch boxes preparatory to the general school opening in California last Monday. Confronted with this record breaking total, school officials in the state got ready to do the best they could with what they had, and hoped that eventually, the losing battle to bring California’s school facilities up to attendance, would turn the other way. Last year, the schools wound up with 1,-493,195 students enrolled in kindergarten through junior college grades. This year, the increase is expected to be seven per cent of that total, a result of the “war baby” parade of the past few years. And the end is not yet in sight, officials of the State Department of Education say. The year 1946 had the highest birth record for California of all times, and the bumper crop won’t start going to school until 1951 and 1952. Enrollment increase in the primary grades this year will be heavier than the total increase, officials said, as they estimated that 9.45 per cent more pupils would enroll for the first time in the lower school grades. Exactly, the department said, there were 545,746 youngsters in grades one through three last year, and on Monday, 597,319 are expected to tax the already overcrowded facilities, or, an increase of 51,573. Even the estimates are conservative, officials pointed out, stating that actual enrollment figures would not be available on a statewide basis until the early part of November, after the schools have made reports of average daily attendance for school apportionment purposes. With the increase in students, the teacher situation remains critical, the department announced, with the last survey showing that 52,088 are employed on full time in the regular day school classes. Sixty per cent of these are in elementary school, and the balance in high and junior colleges. Of the 42,298 credentials issued last year by the Department of Education (some teachers have continuing credentials), 16,-359 were on an emergency basis. And at the same time, the department said teacher training colleges in California graduating. Contacting the youth of the community there could be a close association between us, then they could learn the value of work to the community, and we in could better understand the boys.” It looks like the chief has something to say. A youngster making use of the recreation facilities at the police station is not to meet either bad company or trouble. What’s more, he’ll learn that policemen friends, not fellows who want to cram activities and spoil his fun. The recreational center was made possible by citizens who gave the funds needed to buy the equipment. The San Mateo idea might well be added in every community. Don’t Delay—Register Today There’s no duty more urgent, no lege more precious than exercise of the vote. Now is the time to protect franchise. In order to vote at the November election. Californians must be registered September 23. Here are the rules for registration: If you failed to cast a ballot in either November, 1946 general election or the 1948 primary, you must re-register. Registration also is required of any who has moved to a new address or who changed his name. To be eligible to register—and vote—must be an American citizen and over Residence requirements are one year in state, 90 days in the county and 40 days in the district. It’s well to remember that if you good government, you have to vote for And if you want to vote, you must be registered. Communist Probe Poll taker George Gallup says that too Americans the Red hearings are not herrings.” Four out of five citizens who heard or read about the spy investigation feel that they are not merely political neuvers and they should be continued. This puts President Truman on their feet at a bad time. It means a loss of pre-emption strength just when he is really in need of both. Disagreement with views on this issue by the independent ers and even by most Democrats casts ominous shadows over his fate in November. This public reaction does not necessitate approval of the manner in which spy hearings have been conducted, how A reform in congressional investigation long overdue. More must be done to prepare the innocent while the guilty are sought out. People accused must be given With the increase in students, the teacher situation remains critical, the department announced, with the last survey showing that 52,088 are employed on full time in the regular day school classes.

And at the same time, the department said teacher training colleges in California graduates only 2,881 students during the year, while the number of new teachers needed in the state annually is at least 5,000, to provide adequate replacements, and to take care of the increased enrollment each year. The department sees nothing in the future, for several years at least, other than LOS ANGELES COUNTY FAIR 17 DAYS NIGHTS - POMONA - Sept. 17- Oct. Back Again!

IN THE DAYS OF LONO AGO 75 Years Ago September 27, 1873 The Ladies' Social Club On Wednesday evening the second entertainment of the Ladies' Social Club of Anaheim was given with marked success. The embarrassment, always attendant upon first essays before an audience, and which was shown to a slight extent in the first performance, had given was to a confidence which added greatly to the successful persona of the different characters, and made the entertainment one of the most enjoyable, which has ever taken place in Anaheim. The Tableaux were "After the Masquerade," "Pocahontas saving the Life of Capt. Smith," "Night and Morning," "The Sleeping Beauty" and "The Shower of Gold." A farce entitled "The Miserables" was also performed with Messrs. L— and F— of Los Alamitos in the principal characters. The whole concluded with "The Shadow Pantomine." The interludes were admirably filled up by the aid of Miss H— of this place, who kindly volunteered her musical talents both vocal and instrumental, to assist in making the affair a success. Altogether the evening passed off most pleasantly and was enjoyed to the utmost by both actors and spectators. Messrs. LaRue, Nebelung and Ellis returned from The Arlington Mines on Monday. Work is being vigorously prosecuted on the various ledges, and the developments are highly satisfactory. A few days ago eight tons of ore and fit the graceful contour of our person, as he has done? Alas! We can stand the loss of a wheel-wright And a teamster without shedding tears: But what shall we do without Rieck? That glorious Knight of the shears! Henry Boege while attempting a difficult feat on the horizontal bar last Monday night, fell and hurt himself severly. He has since been confined to bed and suffers considerable pain. Turtle soup is a common article of diet at the Anaheim hotel. The oily, well-fed appearance of Max Nebelung's guests donate high living. The telegraph poles between Anaheim and San Diego are being thoroughly overhauled by the construction agent, Mr. Coons. A letter was received the other day from Mr. Pumphrey, the gentleman who had such a terrible fall from the third story of the Pico House in Los Angeles. He is at his home in Oakland, but his health there has been bad — the climate being too cold. He is still charmed with Anaheim and hopes to make his home here. Mr. Goodman leaves for San Francisco soon to lay in a stock of new fall goods and earnestly desires all indebted to him to advance the required money.

A few days ago eight tons of ore was shipped to San Francisco via Los Angeles, from the Silver Peak mine. This is the first ore sent by way of Los Angeles, as the transportation costs much more than when sent by Anaheim Landing. Mr. Andrew Johnson of the firm of Crowther & Johnson, will bid adieu to Anaheim on Monday. He travels overland to Shasta county, where he will locate permanently. He wants to find a place where "mosquitoes cease from troubling and fleas give him a rest." Mr. George Horn will shortly wend his weary way to the grassy plains of Alameda county — and M. F. Reick will fold up his cloth like a tailor and silently glide in the direction of San Diego, in a few days. This is a sad, sad blow, for who will encase our shapely limbs. 25 Years Ago September 27, 1923 The order of the Eastern Star, organized in this state in 1873, will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of its organization with the Golden Jubilee State Convention in San Francisco, October 16 to 19. It will be the largest convention ever held by this order in this state in the fifty years if its existence. Six chapters with a membership of 612 organized the grand chapter in 1873. These six original towns were Nevada City, Oakland, Vallejo, Suisun, Aetna Mills, and San Francisco. Today there are more than four hundred towns in the state which have chapters with a membership of approximately 85,000. Attorney Frank C. Drumm will assume his new duties as third superior judge of Orange county about October 15. Drumm recently appointed to the new bench by Gov. Richardson, accepted the appointment on the condition that he be allowed four or five weeks in which to arrange his private business affairs and close up pending legal matters. Excavations for the basement of the Knights of Pythias Temple on West Center, where the Hartung residence stood until a few weeks ago, is about completed. In a neighboring lot work of demolishing an old landmark will begin in a few days. The old frame building at the corner of Clementine and Center, one of the oldest business buildings in town will be razed to make room for the three story business block which John Cassou is preparing to build. Murry Mills came up from Mexico a few days ago to pay a visit to his mother and brothers here. Murry says great possibilities await in the southern republic. In some parts of Mexico the condition of the natives are as they have been for many years in the past. The Enterprise Millinery, at the corner of Lemon and Center will have its fall opening Friday and Saturday. Ladies who have been anxiously waiting for a glimpse of the latest in millinery will have an opportunity to see the exciting new styles for winter. Attorney Frank C.

I Ke Barman, of West Orange-thorpe avenue was in town a few days ago renewing old acquaintances. Mr. Barman for many years was engaged in business in Los Angeles. Several years ago he decided to forsake the city and moved with his family to his present home, where he is engaged in raising oranges. Mrs. Sophie Miller and her daughter, Mrs. Jack Naok of San Francisco, were guests recently of Joseph Backs, Sr., and family. Mrs. Miller was a pioneer resident of Anaheim, being the daughter of Dr. Heyerman who was the grandfather of county clerk Jas. Backs. Dr. Heyerman and family left here in 1873 and located in San Francisco, where he conducted a large drug store. Mrs. Miller found so many changes in Anaheim that she was hardly able to recognize the city. She met a number of old time friends who were delighted to meet her again. She is a sister of Mrs. Joseph Backs, Sr., who passed away several years ago. Mrs. Mary Zeigler and her daughter, Miss Mable Zeigler, have returned from an enjoyable trip to Seattle and other up coast cities. They went by boat, stopping off at Berkeley. Several days were passed in Seattle and Portland. On the return trip they visited in San Francisco. The Enterprise Millinery, at the corner of Lemon and Center will have its fall opening Friday and Saturday. Ladies who have been anxiously waiting for a glimpse of the latest in millinery will have an opportunity to see the exciting new styles for winter. O. H. Renner of the S. Q. R. store left Sunday for San Francisco to attend market week. He will probably buy a heavy stock of goods for winter trade. Joe Hatfield was in town some days ago visiting his cousin Everett Hatfield and other relatives. There is a possibility that a new packing house will be erected in Anaheim the coming season. This plant will be one of the largest in the city and will handle the constantly growing crop of fruit in this section. Jobless Claims Drop in County Unemployment insurance claims filed in the Santa Ana Department of Employment office for the week ending August 26 totaled 1837. Out of the total claims filed, the department paid 1065 claimants. The state-wide total of claims dropped for the week, with 192,-388 filed this year compared to 215,888 for the same week a year ago. The department, however, paid more claims this year than for the same week in 1947. Claimants drawing checks totaled 114,691, compared to 112,141.

CHRONIC ARTHRITIS SUFFERERS Call Anaheim 5422 for an Appointment DR. WALTER REVELL D.C. 108 NORTH EMILY STREET ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA "THIS IS LONG DISTANCE" How telephone operators route and time your calls 1. Perhaps you've wondered how your long distance calls usually go through so quickly... even to small, far-away places. The routing operator is one reason. A long distance operator has just asked her the route to Pilot Grove, Missouri. From her special book she finds it and flashes back..." MX Kansas City, TC Boonville." 2. When the call is answered, thousands of miles away, the operator placing the call slips her "toll ticket" into this device... known as a calculagraph. When you begin talking, she moves a lever to stamp the time on the ticket. When you hang up, a signal tells her to stamp it again... thus recording the length of your call. 3. Your call's roadway, to Pilot Grove—or anywhere—is kept open in this Traffic Control Center. Should major trouble occur on one route, the Center must find another to carry the calls. This is just part of our service job making it possible for you to call across town, or across country, when you wish, as often as you wish. 4. When you make a telephone call, you hire a mighty servant to work for you at small cost. And that servant is more useful than ever. In the past ten years, the number of telephones on the Coast has about doubled. We're hard at it to provide more and better service for more-people. And each new telephone added makes every telephone that much more valuable.
