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 NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION Active Member The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Labor Laws The new Congress may repeal the Taft-Hartley Act. But, maybe not! There is a majority in the Democratic and Republican parties that is almost sure to stand firm in support of the general policies of the labor legislation that was passed by the 80th Congress. The success of that legislation is admitted. The probabilities are that its principal features will remain in any new changes—or shuffling-up with the decrepit old Wagner Act. The President used the Taft-Hartley law seven times to deal with emergencies, including John L. Lewis' coal strike last spring and the threatened maritime strike. He has personal, political reasons for it all. There are state laws preventing the closed shop in Nebraska, North Carolina, and Arizona; and similar but less rigid restrictions on the closed shop in a dozen other states. The U.S. court ruled in 1949 that such laws are permissible, and not a violation of the Constitution on the grounds that "states have power to legislate against what are to be found injurious practices in their commercial and business affairs."

Yes, James Marshall really started thing back there in 1848, and the end no means yet in sight. No Agreement Sometimes we seem to think that agreements in Germany are with the sians. They aren't.

Besides this, the British French are at odds with the America how much control and supervision show exercised over German industry. Notions will probably have to be referred to the top government level—for f James Marshall Started It The first year of our second century since the discovery of gold in California is now past. Time moves swiftly, but not as swiftly as the developments which James Marshall touched off when he detected the magic metal at Sutter’s mill on January 24, 1848. If Marshall could see California today his eyes would surely pop even more than they did on that fateful day 101 years ago. The wilderness is gone. The tough, teeming mining camps have disappeared or are mostly deserted. Today great factories roar where once lay only silent fields. Today tall buildings rise where once stood only shacks and shanties. It was the lure of gold that brought men to California. But gold alone did not hold them and bring others later on. It was the greater wealth of the soil and forests and rivers, together with the trade and commerce these made possible that accounted for the continued growth of the Golden State. The raw rugged wilderness of 1848 has become the great agricultural, industrial and Endurance Fliers Plan Non-Stop Cross-Country Hop (Continued from page 1) Harris and Diedel expect to be in the air around 15 days allowing 6 days flying time each way, with 3 days flying time over Miami. Main object of the flight according to Tex Price, president of Fullerton Air Service, Inc., is to give the pilots and plane a “shakedown” cruise prior to another attempt at setting a new endurance record. Sponsors of the flight in addition to Fullerton Air Service, who are furnishing the airplanes are the Jeep Motor Company who are providing a total of 28 Jeepsters to be used in the fueling operations; the MacMillan Oil Company and Continental Motors who are presenting the “Lady” with a new engine for her latest endurance venture.

HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago February 14, 1874 A few years ago what is now San Bernardino county was cut off from Los Angeles county. The new county took her share of the county debt and at the time the total amount of the assessed value of the taxable property in the new county was probably, as it is now, about one-tenth of that of Los Angeles county. Now mark the difference, San Bernardino, the poor county, is out of debt and has a surplus of $25,000 in her treasury to build a new court house and on the other hand, Los Angeles, the rich county, has steadily increased her debt and has nothing of any value to show for it. The difference between the two is the difference between honesty and economy and rascality and extravagance communicated. Charles A. Gardner, former editor of this family journal arrived in town on Thursday and contemplated a short visit among his former labors. He is at present editor of the Napa Register, published at Napa City.

A gloom was cast over the community Sunday morning when the news was received that Eddie Schmidt had received a fatal gun shot wound. It appears that with some young friends he had driven out hunting and that while in the wagon his gun on which he was leaning, was discharged by one of those unaccountable accidents, which sometimes occur. The charge entered the back portion of his head and death was instantaneous. The lad was just completing his fourteenth year and was a general favorite with all who knew him.

These take the form of pro and anti-labor measures, compulsory health insurance, small loan legislation, the ever increasing struggle over water with the advocates of public ownership pitted against the private utilities and the federal reclamation champions against the haters of the bureau, child care centers, public housing, unemployment insurance reforms, expansion of disability insurance, increased taxes and tax cuts, reaction of state government as opposed to further government regulation and services, and antiscrimination laws. Democracy At Work To add to the confusion are the multitude of secondary issues which have found their way into the 1949 legislature such as Sam Collins' bill to outlaw racing, the legalizing of bookies, the cigarette tax, additional liquor taxes, licensing of practical nurses, the veterans bonus, attacks on the veterinary farm and home loan program, the Tenney committee, the fish and game commission, the highway truckers tax, a tax on film footage, and numerous other proposals which are certain to bring forth heated debate and lasting bitterness among the members.

The theme of the celebration is "Adventure—that's Scouting!" This year the movement is emphasizing the fun and fellowship its members get out of the game of Scouting. More high adventure is planned in the out-of-doors. Their adventure in citizenship will find Scouts emphasizing civic service activities, emergency service training and world Scouting relationships. During Boy Scout Week, Scouts, their parents and countless communities will honor the volunteer adult leaders of the nation's 70,000 Cub Packs, Scout Troops and Senior Units. Above is the official poster marking the Scout birthday. Spaghetti’s still a low-cost dish... but even more economical is the Gas to cook it! but even more economical is the Gas to cook it! GAS COSTS YOU EVEN LESS NOW THAN IN 1939! One economical way to stretch your food allowance...or prepare a low-cost meal for a group...is to serve a spaghetti dinner. But far more economical, actually, is the gas to cook it. For gas costs you even less today than in 1939! It's surprising in a way that we have been able to hold down the price of gas while the prices of almost everything we buy have risen again and again. Pipe, meters, shovels or wrenches...all cost substantially more than before the war. We have taken these increasing costs in stride and kept gas your household bargain by 1) serving more gas to more people...60% more customers than ten years ago...and 2) striving constantly to find new ways to achieve greater efficiency and more economical operation. So—whether you want to cook the most economical meal possible—or a company dinner with all the trimmings—gas is your dependable, low-cost servant. It's this economy...and superior performance in modern automatic appliances...that makes gas so popular in Southern California for cooking, water heating, house heating and refrigeration.
