IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago January 31, 1874 County Division A petition has been in circulation in the southern portion of the county during the past month asking the legislature to create a new county from the southeastern part of Los Angeles county. The desire to form two counties out of the present one is strongly felt by almost every person living south of the new San Gabriel river. Nothing can be argued against the measure except that the section wishing to secede cannot wield the moneyed influence which can be exerted in opposition. Four years ago the subject was first agitated under the management of the lamented Strobel, was almost successful. The bill passed the assembly but was defeated in Austin, Ceres; Mrs. F. Every, Pomona; Miss M. O. Kellogg, Flora; Miss M. J. Boswell, stewardess. At conclusion of the ceremonies a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Craig by the Grange. Died—January 28, 1874, Julia, wife of John Fischer, aged 41 years, 10 months. Resolutions adopted by Anaheim Lodge No. 199, I.O.O.F. at their meeting held of January 27, expressing regard for their late sister, Julia Fischer, and sympathy for their beloved brother, P. G.

With the death of Frank Benmin Hinde, 45 years old, one place of his birth, the last original member of the Platia vegetarian colony is gone.

Misses Adele Mosseman and Addie Wallop have graduated WASHINGTON AS SEEN By Congressman JOHN PHILLIPS WASH. AS SEEN. (Pikup Hed) There is a story about a man riding one of these super-duper streamliners across western states. He looked out the window and said to the porter, "I'm surprised they'd have picket fences in this open country." The porter looked out; then replied, "That isn't a picket fence, suh, those are telegraph poles." I'm not suggesting yet that we are moving that fast towards national socialism, but milestones in this nation's history are beginning to look like an old New England stone fence. I've bought myself a little notebook for 20 cents and I'm writing down the inscriptions on them, as we go by. In the 81st Congress we professed a bi-partisan policy on certain subjects, notably foreign affairs. The ratio of the Senate committee, to which such matters went, was set by the republicans as 7 to 6. The republicans did suggest mildly that it would be nice if we could be called in at the take-off, and not after the crash landing. The idea was good, however, and through Senator Vandenberg and Senator Taft, there was a bi-partisan effort. This session the majority party changed the ratio to 8 to 5. There has been no bi-partisan policy in evidence. Crack out of the box, Report Activity of Government Lobby (Continued from Page 1) Public Works Lobby The most lobbying by state officials is carried on by the State Department of Public Works which has an effective method of getting its way. It has been said the knowledge that a newly elected legislator usually has some bridge or road that his district needs badly is a strong argument in persuading a senator or an assemblyman to vote for this department's pet bill. The legislative busybody is the Department of Education's lobbyist, Al Lentz. Every session Lentz handles scores of bills having to do with public schools, many of which seek further to intrench the educational hierarchy of the state. Most all departments sally forth at the opening of the legislature with great handfulls of law proposals. As a result oftentimes the legislature, which is the policy making body of the state, finds itself taking policy from the employees of government. Legislature Not Blameless The legislature is not entirely blameless in this matter. Over a period of years these public employees have been permitted to gain more and more power. At the same time many of them have developed more and more contempt for the legislature. They are permitted to come on the floor of the legislative chambers during the sessions while all other lobbyists are denied such privilege. They are also permitted to attend all committee hearings where they often chip in their two cents worth without having been requested. Some legislators seek to justify this situation by pointing out their desire to learn all they can about any proposed legislation. Others who have been around longer, argue that government Print Week Nov.

With the death of Frank Benja-Hinde, 45 years old, on the ee of his birth, the last of the final members of the Placen-vegetarian colony is gone. The ny was founded more than 40 ys ago on the 10 acre plot of at the end of Placentia ave. When W. L. Thales, who suced Hinde, Sr., as ruler of the ny died in 1921, he was suced by W. Wilderhold, who is the next year. Hinde became successor. The last of the rule will be buried on the estate. The corner stone of the splen-church edifice now in course construction by the Christian regation at the corner of odway and Helena streets was in place Sunday. Rev. Root ered the address, the stone put in place by Geo. Trout, contractor, and Rev. Wilson a Habra the prayer. It is said building will cost $95,000. The city council decided Thursday to extend the zoning ordinance with a provision prohibiting establishment of lunch stands near edges of the city park. R.

Hartranft addressed the club Friday, his subject be-trailroad building in South Africa—that is, he told his ex-ince in assisting in the con-ition of a railroad in thezon territory many years ago. The ratio of the Senate committee, to which such matters went, was set by the republicans as 7 to 6. The republicans did suggest mildly that it would be nice if we could be called in at the take-off, and not after the crash landing. The idea was good, however, and through Senator Vandenberg and Senator Taft, there was a bi-partisan effort. This session the majority party changed the ratio to 8 to 5. There has been no bi-partisan policy in evidence. Crack out of the box, without notice, came the appointment of Mr. Acheson as Secretary of State. It was he who brought Alger Hiss into the state department; Donald Hiss is a member of the Acheson law firm; it was he, as undersecretary, who defended the loyalty of the young man who, when the Congress secured his discharge, went to the phone and called commie headquarters, and asked, "What do I do now?" All that I am saying is that the policy is obviously changed. It is a milestone. Committee appointments are about to be announced. The Ways and Means committee, which will impose additional taxes on you, and decide arguments over reciprocal trade agreements, has five new democrats. Of the fifteen now on that side, at least eight will follow new deal policies, rather than Jeffersonian principles. The Judiciary committee has a rati of 15 to 12. The ratio will be 17 to 10. That committee will have the arguments over the tidelands, and the adjudication of the Colorado river dispute, and a few assorted matters of western interest. The Committee on Expenditures in the executive departments had a ratio of 15 to 10. It will be 8 to 7. What do you think will happen to the Hoover recommendations for economies in government, or removing duplications? Is it a milestone? The bigger milestones will follow. The biggest is the one about which I write and talk frequently, the operations of the propaganda machinery. This involves the difference between the actions of the Congress as the columnists and commentators report them to you, and as we see them on the floor. We started right out with vote on the rule, on the opening day. I'll wager not one person out of a hundred, who reads this, could tell me what the vote was on, or what the Congress actually did. My correspondence shows that I'll try to tell you sometime, just to demonstrate what I mean. Alma A. Pellegrin, Anaheim Resident 75 Years, Passes (Continued from page 1) hip but according to reports, is making splendid progress toward recovery, and although she will be confined to her bed for a couple of months, complete recovery is expected by her physician and friends. Mrs. Frohling is 85 years of age. She came to Anaheim with pioneers and settled here when the site was only a mustard patch. She was married here 62 years ago and has made her home here ever since."

Mrs. Pellegrin had lived on the original twenty acre vineyard lot, which was drawn by her grandfather and later willed to her, up to the time of her passing.

Mrs. Pellegrin had lived on the original twenty acre vineyard lot, which was drawn by her grandfather and later willed to her, up to the time of her passing. It seems as if the following lines from the poet, James Russell Lowell, are peculiarly appropriate: Longing is God's fresh heavard will With our poor earthward striving: We quench it that we may be still Content with merely living. But, would we learn that hearts full scope Which we are hourly wronging; Our lives must climb, from hope to hope And realize the longing.
