Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Jockey John John L. Lewis doesn't stay silent long. At least once a year—usually in the spring—his rumbling voice can be heard throughout the land, usually rumbling in protest or defiance about this thing or that. Well, spring is with us once again—and so is John and his rumble. This time he is protesting President Truman's nomination of Dr. James Boyd as director of the U. S. Bureau of Mines. To back up the protest he has called for a two-week work stoppage in all mines east of the Mississippi. Most observers agree that John isn't so much concerned about Dr. Boyd's nomination as he is about the negotiations for a new contract for the mine workers. The present contract expires June 30. The two-week work stoppage is apparently aimed at cutting down the heavy supply of coal now above ground estimated to be 70 million tons, or enough for about 45 days of normal requirements. This is the largest coal pile on hand in the springtime in the past seven years. And John knows that will permit him to succeed himself as president in 1952. Heretofore, a chief executive had to step down after his six year term. But Colonel Peron didn't like that system. It smacked too much of the detestable democracies, and he said so. Now that his stooges in the Constituent Assembly have eliminated this archaic law, everything is fine in Buenos Aires—for the colonel. As for the rest of the country—that's a different story. The people elected him and now they're stuck with him. Reports from Argentina indicate that he has made a first class meso virtually everything. But as things now stand he can go right on messing around. Who's going to stop him, either now or in 1952? The Job in Germany It is to be hoped that the administration in Washington will not take the control of our occupation zone in Germany out of the hands of the Army and turn it over to the State Department. The Army, as we know, is anxious to hand the reigns over to the State Department. This is under certain evidence that summer near at hand. And now they ascribe the feat of the county division bill "Stanford & Co." A three-pound boulder was cavated from Sheffield's well Mr. David Davis, at a depth of feet. Jesse Parker proved to be best skater and won a prize of gold ring last Saturday. Mr. Casey has retired from business. D. C. Hayward is now sole proprietor of the Richland Nurseries. We notice apples already form on a tree belonging to Mr. L. Gather. Shearing is in full blast and aborigines are jubilant. 50 Years Ago April 6, 1899 Ed Kraemer was in from Centia on Monday. He informs that his brother, Sam, has offered the Southern Pacific six acres a depot site and that many road rumors fill the air. Sam recently given a Los Angeles company an option upon eighty acres of land north of Carlton when they will begin boring for oil soon as the crop of wheat is taken off this summer. The point selected is farther north than any of wells so far located, but it is considered a favorable location, if oil is struck it will be pulled down to the siding at Yorba. S has an interest in the oil should borings show that oil may be had, he may begin boring his own behalf. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Deciduous Furniture Association will be held at the hall on Monday afternoon IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago April 4, 1874 Notes by our San Juan Capistrano correspondent. San Juan has improved some since our last visit, not with the rapid strides of Anaheim and its surrounding country, but still evincing signs of thrift and progressiveness. The old land mark—the Mission church with its picture now stand he can go right on messing around. Who's going to stop him, either now or in 1952? The Job in Germany It is to be hoped that the administration in Washington will not take the control of our occupation zone in Germany out of the hands of the Army and turn it over to the State Department. The Army, as we know, is anxious to hand the reigns over to the State Department. This is understandable. The situation in Germany has imposed on General Clay and his staff a task which is considerably out of line with the role traditionally played by our armed forces. But the situation in Germany is still one that essentially calls for military strength rather than diplomatic maneuvering. Since the end of the war in Europe diplomacy has been worn threadbare in the attempt to get along with the Russians. We know now that only one thing impresses the Kremlin—the military fist. All things considered, the Army has done a good job in Germany, especially in dealing with the Russians. It has met toughness with toughness, it has refused to be bluffed or bullied by Soviet threats, and its brilliant performance with the air lift has not only beaten the blockade but has greatly enhanced American prestige in Europe. As long as the Russians continue their blockade of Berlin, as long as they continue to threaten the peace of Europe and the world with their aggressive aims and strong arm methods, the job in Germany will largely remain for the Army to handle. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago April 4, 1874 Notes by our San Juan Capistrano correspondent. San Juan has improved some since our last visit, not with the rapid strides of Anaheim and its surrounding country, but still evincing signs of thrift and progressiveness. The old land mark—the Mission church with its picturesque ruins and ancient chime of bells, the long adobe residence of Don Juan Abila and its neighboring cluster of tumble down houses, still remain to remind us of the good old days when cattle were plentiful and exertion needless. A very marked improvement has taken place in the hotel of our good friend Iler. Comfortable rooms and a well spread table please the most fastidious guests. Judge Egan still holds forth in the telegraph office, punishes offenders and dispenses justice with the same conscientiousness of bygone times. The Judge is a treasure to San Juan, and a good genial friend to everyone. Dolores still distributes benzine and tanglefoot, besides keeping a very superior article of old rye. The town is well supplied with stores. Monsieur Oliver keeps a good supply of all things necessary to the comfort of his French brethren, of which there are a good many in this vicinity engaged in sheep raising. Mr. Mendleson has added a butcher shop to his establishment. Henry Charles still sells general merchandise. This is Easter week and the good padre is busy with his spiritual duties. There are about sixty thousand sheep here and a large amount of wool is shipped from here via Anaheim Landing. Messrs. J. E. Bacon, C. B. Rawson and H. Charles are the most prominent sheep men. The principal ranches in the vicinity are the Boca de la Playa, owned by Paul Pryor, The Trabuco and Mission Vieja owned by the Pioche estate and the Miguel owned by J. E. Bacon and C. B. Rawson. The clearness and purity of our atmosphere was well illustrated the other morning. A gentleman standing in his orchard at 6 o'clock a.m. distinctly saw a steamer on the ocean. The distance could not have been less than eighteen miles. Mr. Millican has rented from Messrs. Higbie and Co. the store formerly occupied by the "Woolen Mill Depot" and will open in a short time an ice cream saloon. Mr. A. G. Beebe is now at work fitting up the interior of the store. We have been requested to announce that Dr. Hardin has procured some pure vaccine matter. Anxious mothers will do well to act accordingly. In the case of the People vs. Sin See Wau for misdemeanor the jury failed to agree. The case will be tried again the coming week. The loads of orange trees that we see continually passing through town indicate a desire upon the part of our farmers to improve and beautify their homes. Some of the Anaheim vineyards have been in bloom for more than a week, whilst in others not a speck of green can be seen. We observed a soda water wagon in town the other night. A In evidence that summer is at hand. and now they ascribe the deed of the county division bill to Ford & Co." Three-pound boulder was exiled from Sheffield's well by David Davis, at a depth of 91 feet. Parker proved to be the skater and won a prize of a ring last Saturday. Casey has retired from business. D. C. Hayward is now the proprietor of the Richland series. Notice apples already formed three belonging to Mr. L. Gunnerearing is in full blast and the gines are jubilant. 50 Years Ago April 6, 1899 Kraemer was in from Plain on Monday. He informs us his brother, Sam, has offered southern Pacific six acres for foot site and that many rail-rumors fill the air. Sam has totally given a Los Angeles company option upon eighty acres and north of Carlton where he will begin boring for oil as was the crop of wheat is taken this summer. The point select-farther north than any of the so far located, but it is connected a favorable location, and is struck it will be piped to the siding at Yorba. Sam has an interest in the oil and borings show that oil may lead, he may begin boring on own behalf. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Deciduous Fruit Association will be held at the city on Monday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. Painter Middleham has been decorating the front of Mrs. Koll's building on Center street with a new coat of paint. Miss Emma Feather visited with her cousin, Miss Allen of Arlington last week and returned home Saturday. 25 Years Ago April 3, 1924 Rainfall Tuesday night according to the gauge of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Growers association measured .57 of an inch, making 8.04 for the season. Last year the fall to date was 7.40. All bakers in the city raised the price of bread to 12 cents the first of the month. The price of milk was also increased by the dairies. With the price of wheat far below the actual cost of production, and generous rains assuring luxuriant pasture for the cows, the most liberal minded consumer is at a loss to figure a reasonable excuse for these increases in the cost of living. Election of a new board of trustees and elders of the first Presbyterian church of Anaheim was completed Monday night at the annual congregational meeting held in the church here. M. E. Beebe, F. N. Gibbs, E. J. Altnow, R. M. Fay, and L. E. Miller were chosen elders and the new board of trustees included George Sloop, Dr. Johnston, William Wallop, F. N. Gibbs, M. E. Beebe, Arthur Coons and H. G. Archibald. Glenn Hartranft in company of his father, S. C. Hartranft, attended the Rotary club luncheon at Elks' club house Monday. Glenn is rapidly stepping to the front as one of the world's great athletes and will probably participate in the next Olympic games. He was given a noisy welcome by the Rotarians. 'One Great Hour' Scheduled for Saturday, Mar. 26 (Continued from page 1) President Truman will also speak during the broadcast. Everywhere this united Christian effort is arousing a heartwarming spirit of brotherhood and fellowship. On March 16 the Christian 'Century said," 'One Great Hour' is great because here at last is a cause that is big enough and important enough to unite Roman Catholic and Protestant Christians under one banner of compassion. Msgr. Eugene A. Loftis of the National Catholic Welfare Conference says that this collaboration should 'make a profound impression on the people of Europe.' The March 21 issue of Life has devoted its editorial page to "One Great Hour." Sponsors of this project in addition to national church leaders include such men as the Hon. Lewis W. Douglas, Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., William Green, Harold E. Stassen, the Hon. Charles P. Taft and Charles E. Wilson. Several Anaheim church and civic leaders have made statements urging citizens to listen to this program and then to respond to its appeal for a deed of Christian love: Archbishop J. Francis A. McIntyre of Los Angeles has issued the following appeal: On Sunday, March 27th, a special collection will be taken up in every Catholic church in the United States to help the needy people of the war stricken countries of Europe. City into chaos and confusion. 'Great Hour' is an appeal of Christianity for help to alleviate unrealized suffering of millions men, women and children must choose between them thru your church.

Miller, pastor Wesley Methodist chapel When once you stand with crying child side the shibles which he knew home and seethrough them blee for ever may main of bodies of loved ones have no trouble sensing his sense.

Mrs. Katherine Zitzmann died at her home in this city Sunday morning after a long illness, at the age of 78. The remains were taken to Backs, Terry and Campbell's parlors where funeral services were held with Rev. H. G. Schmelzer in charge. The body was shipped to the family home in Omaha, Nebr., for interment. Mrs. Zitzmann was the mother of Ernest Zitzmann, cashier of the American Savings bank. The circus advertised for tomorrow is called off. The Al G. Barnes show is now at Long Beach and the quarantine order (for foot and mouth disease) which erected a barrier between this county and Los Angeles, prevents its crossing into Orange county. H. Okomoto died Sunday morning after a short illness. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning, Rev. Thomas Walker officiating. Okomoto was an uncle of the proprietor of the O. K. Grocery. O. E.

Troutman celebrated his 83rd birthday Monday. Mr. Troutman is one of the few remaining veterans of the Civil War in this region. He was born in Pennsylvania but at an early day moved to Iowa. When the civil war broke out, he enlisted and served his country four years. He and his wife came to Anaheim. Archbishop J. Francis A. McIntyre of Los Angeles has issued the following appeal: On Sunday, March 27th, a special collection will be taken up in every Catholic church in the United States to help the needy people of the war stricken countries of Europe. Known as "The Bishop's War Relief Collection," it is taken up annually to help the suffering people whose needs go over and beyond the help extended by government agencies. We recommend as a "Lenten sacrifice" the foregoing of some pleasure and the giving of its cost, as an offering in response to the cry of these needy human beings. May this be done in the name of God and in His mercy. —Rev. Henry W. Gross, pastor, St Boniface church It is unthinkable that Christian love should turn a deaf ear to the pleadings of the poor and needy. Regardless of color, nationality, or place of habitation, the Lord's command is plain: "Give ye them to eat." (Mark 6:37). —L. E. Eifert, pastor Zion Lutheran church We are living in a great hour in human history. It is an hour of great fears, unrealized sufferings, and easy predictable tomorrowrows. Every one of us faces that twin axiom: "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap" and "No man can serve two masters—!" In this great hour there are two masters seeking you and me, Christianity and Communism. Christianity calls us to constructive cooperative living, while its opponent drives human- ed by Jos.

Tom Kuchel, Editor of Boy Scout News sends us an outline of Troop 1 activities for the week: Last Monday Troop 1 had an election. Beginning at Senior Patrol Leader we went on down the line to bugler. The individual patrols next met and elected their leaders. A three-day hike was outlined for Easter vacation and on this trip second class scouts will try for a fourteen mile hike which is a first class scout requirement. Initiation will occur the third Monday in April. The "Mysterious Cave" will probably make a lasting impression upon candidates but—this part of "Scouting" is held in secret. Toyland, situated at 139 North Los Angeles street was almost totally destroyed by fire Friday morning. Curtains covering the entrance to the office of the proprietor, Herman Efkin caught fire from a gas heater and the flames spread rapidly. Fullerton's fire department was called to assist the local department and after an hour of hard work the fire was extinguished but Toyland was a blackened and water soaked ruin. The large stock of toys and novelties was practically ruined and Efkin's loss is $35,000, with $21,000 insurance. The buildings are own- SPECIALS!

"One Great Hour" is an appeal of Christianity for help to alleviate the realized suffering of millions of women and children who choose between them help in your church. Daniel F. Miller, pastor, Wesley Methodist church When once you stand with a crying child beside the shambles which once knew as home and search through the rubble for whatever may remain of his loved ones, you have no trouble sensing his need. Congdon In you labor with the remnants of a devastated community, eating with them as they try rebuild a house where they may enter to worship God, you have doubt of their indescribable suffering and measureless need. When you multiply these by 100 times 10,000 you may then understand a little better the voice the world raised in a cry for self. I pray their voices may be to us when America listens. "One Great Hour" as it will be broadcast this Saturday evening on all three major radio networks and many other independent broadcasting stations. Howard Congdon, pastor, First Presbyterian church We must not let reports of scattered good harvests ease our conscience on the matter of Christian world relief. Reliable information from denominational headquarters tells us that thousands of not turn a deaf ear to cries for assistance as long as he himself desires the unlimited love of God. Al Casebeer, pastor, Church of Christ "One Great Hour" is a splendid example of the growing cooperation between all types of American Christians. The cry of suffering humanity from every part of the world is the cause which, at this moment has united us. I urge each citizen of Anaheim to listen on Saturday evening, March 26th, and then respond to this appeal in his own church and as his conscience dictates. Charles E. Pearson, Mayor of the City of Anaheim "One Great Hour" calls us to a Spiritual adventure—an experience of brotherhood and "oneness" with our "neighbors" and with God. Men and women, youth and children will join hands and voices in affirmation of their concern for their fellows. I pray that the joyful experience of "One Great Hour" will eventuate in enthusiastic action. Let us walk "The Way," together. Rollo E. Dunham The copper mines of Arizona are among the greatest of the world. Its gold, silver, lead, asbestos and zinc industries are also important. I enthusiastically urge every citizen of this great land to enter whole heartedly into this inspiring impulse of compassion for human need. For, I am firmly convinced that this giant ecumenical gesture of Christian charity, so impelling that government, industry, labor and agriculture are joining heart and hand with the church, should challenge every good American to respond in a very substantial way. Furthermore, such unity of action, emphasizing our common Christian heritage and minimizing our differences creates a confidence that results in religious, social and national strength. Philip R. Selfridge, pastor Evangelical United Brethren church HAVE BABY BOY Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Boatner, 12122 West street, Garden Grove, became the parents of a baby son who arrived at Anaheim Community hospital Saturday.
