Be Alive on the Fifth Hundreds of people are killed every year by accidents during the Fourth of July holiday. That plain fact is borne out year after year by figures from the National Safety Council. Why are they killed? It is easy to advance a lot of deeply philosophical reasons. The hurry-up world we live in. The adventurous, take-a-chance American spirit. The animalistic discourse of man to man. But there is no need to do any heavy thinking on the reasons for the holiday death toll. The reasons are quite simple, really. For one thing, more people are driving automobiles. When more cars are on the road and they are traveling farther, the chances for accident go up proportionately. Pleasure-bent drivers usually are in a hurry. They want to get somewhere to start having fun, or they are pounding along on the first leg of a summer vacation trip. A lot of people are doing the same thing, and it becomes a sort of race. Driving too fast passing to excesses in exercise, eating, exposure to sun. All of these things contribute to Fourth of July deaths. And it would be simple to prevent such accidents. Don't take a trip just to be going somewhere. There are many delights near home. Drive slower. Don't become impatient at unimportant delays. Be courteous to other drivers and pedestrians. Be temperate in your swimming. Keep an alert eye on children. Take your family to a public fireworks display instead of risking tragedy by personal handling of explosives. These are the simple things that will ensure delight in a summer holiday—that will bring you home relaxed and refreshed, that will see your children safely in bed to dream of the day's pleasures. These are the simple things that will make this Fourth of July mean joy instead of tragedy. Kipling said it: "Teach us delight in simple things and mirth that has no bitter springs." We Heartily Approve At long last we have run a contest that to us makes it that Mr. Truman may make in government spending our own hook. But the political sets in the capital continue dict that the administration spend all the money that voted, thereby creating an annual deficit. New Labor Law Seems a Puzzle Ever since Mr. Truman elected he and his principal porters have contended the Taft-Hartley Act would be to pieces, with the prob For one thing, more people are driving automobiles.

They want to get somewhere to start having fun, or they are pounding along on the first leg of a summer vacation trip. A lot of people are doing the same thing, and it becomes a sort of race. Driving too fast, passing when the view is obstructed, following other cars too closely—all seem important in the senseless race to save a minute. Beaches are crowded, too. A lot of occasional swimmers overestimate their skill or their endurance. Children excited by holiday fever elude adult supervision. Amateur boat handlers find that small boats require a practiced hand and prudent conduct. During this holiday, some parents permit their children to play with fire and explosives that on any other day would bring swift and certain rebuke. Even adults, not satisfied with the machine gun splatter of fire crackers, have been known to rig up lethal concocions of dynamite.

The Government Is Running in the Red The appropriations being voted by Congress for the Department of State, Commerce and Justice are considerably lower than President Truman's "expenditure program." Congress is working over the recommendations made by President Truman and they have slashed millions of dollars. While the Senate has slashed down hard against the President's recommendations; the mathematicians in Washington are predicting a deficit of $4.4 billion of which $400,000,000 budgeted for increased military pay may not be spent in view of the House's rejection of the pay bill. Economy leaders appear now to have lost all their hopes for achievement. New Labor Law Seems a Puzzle Ever since Mr. Truman elected he and his principal porters have contended the Taft-Hartley Act would be to pieces, with the probes that the old Wagner Act would restored. It looks as though Republicans will rally power in Congress and carry the plan of Senator Taft to the measure that bears his name in a way that will be satisfactory to the labor unions. This may have the support of practically Republican in Congress, and sides that, large groups of ocrats have come to regard measure as first class legal which would not be repealed hacked together so that it be useful to politicians who to satisfy President Truman his backers in the different organizations. So, the bosses in different unions are wearing long these days, because they andident Truman will have to tinue to live under the proof of strong labor laws.

Bank of America NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION California's Statewide Bank MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION MEMBER FEDERAL REBERVE SYSTEM IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago July 4, 1874 Six hundred dollars has been awarded for a weekly mail between Wilmington and Anaheim. These two places have daily and quick connection via the San Pedro and Los Nietos Railway, Orange postoffice being off the direct post route has imperfect mail service. This is a small matter and very likely to have escaped the notice of the department, were it not that its attention has been directly called to the necessity of a postal route for Orange. Six hundred dollars would have given the latter place a daily mail. Several times lately the kitchen of Mrs. Frohling has been entered and provisions stolen therefrom. On Monday night the thief emboldened by his repeated success, after supplying the inner man in the kitchen, made his way into the house, and groping in the dark touched one of the sleeping children. The child awakened by the action aroused the lady of the house by its screams of fright. Mrs. Frohling rushed across the street for assistance and was followed by the villain. Messrs. Dravsen and Wille, hearing the noise, came out also and made an attempt to capture the robber, but under cover of a large butcher knife he succeeded in making his escape. He was recognized, however, as one Juan Felipe, an Indian. He was captured on Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Byrd and yesterday was committed to jail under whose supervision the well has been bored, has contracted for several other wells in that section. The sailing of the steamship Moonga has been postponed on account of the Fourth of July celebration in Los Angeles. It will leave Wilmington tomorrow afternoon on the arrival of the train from Los Angeles. Theodore Rimpau was re-elected as school trustee for Anaheim district by a handsome majority. The vote was 64 for and 30 against. There are 260 children between the ages of 5 and 17 years and 108 children under 5 years of age in the Anaheim school district. Rev. W. H.

New Labor Law Reems a Puzzle Ever since Mr. Truman was elected he and his principal supporters have contended that theaft-Hartley Act would be torn pieces, with the probability at the old Wagner Act would be restored. It looks as though the Republicans will rally enough power in Congress and carry out the plan of Senator Taft to amend the measure that bears his name in a way that will be satisfactory to the labor unions. This man Taft is the support of practically every republican in Congress, and besides that, large groups of Democrats have come to regard the measure as first class legislation which would not be repealed oracked together so that it would be useful to politicians who want to satisfy President Truman and its backers in the different labor organizations. So, the bosses in different labor unions are wearing long faces these days, because they and President Truman will have to continue to live under the protection of strong labor laws. The Job Is not Over, Ever There We have fiddled and fumbled with Russia and at all times when we thought we would reach an agreement with them they have bowed their treacherous teeth.

He was recognized, however, as one Juan Felipe, an Indian. He was captured on Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Byrd and yesterday was committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury. At the regular meeting of the lodge on Tuesday night, Anaheim Lodge No. 199, I.O.O.F., elected its officers for the coming year. They are as follows: F. A. Laucherie, N.G.; Max Nebelung, V.G.; F. E. Meilenz, R.S.; H. Boldt, P.S.; John Fischer, treasurer. They will be installed on Tuesday next. W. J. Smith of the Orange-thorpe district has met with more than ordinary success in his search for artesian water. His well is more than 260 feet in depth and is fed by several streams. The first flowing water was reached at 160 feet. By piercing his pipe at each point, he has succeeded in obtaining the largest well in this section. Mr. Stewart, 50 Years Ago July 6, 1899 Harry Dyer is carrying his right arm in splints as the result of cracking the bone in an argument with a refactory horse at his place on the Tuffree ranch. He was attempting to take the animal across a ditch, which the horse seemed disinclined to do. After trying to lead him across, Harry mounted him and sought to ride him over, but the horse would not budge. Harry lost his temper and got too doggoned mad at the balking animal that he struck him on the head with the result that he is now taking a short vacation with his hand tied up. The Fourth of July celebration at Fullerton was a wonderful success in every way. Over three thousand people gathered to enjoy the festivities. At 10 o'clock a procession of gaily decorated floats claimed the attention of the crowds lining the sidewalks. Two brass bands discoursed music along the line of march. At 11 o'clock the crowd gathered at the pavilion to listen to the address by E. T. Langley and the address from Westminster to this place in order that he may place himself under the treatment of Dr. Jones. W. F. Poor has been elected secretary of the Westminster Grange. H.

Ripe apricots are on the market. Next week there will be roasting ears, watermelons, cucumbers. Bananas and cocoanuts are among the dainties to be found in the market room. Robert Menzel has purchased a lot on Les Angeles street from Heimann & George and intends building upon it. During the year $25,000,000 was coined at the mint in San Francisco, over $22,000,000 of the amount being in gold. J. K. Tuffree contemplates opening a wood yard in Anaheim. The Anaheim band has been engaged by the citizens of Gallatin for service at the celebration today.

We cannot find words to express the sadness we feel on the Globe's demise. 'Sky' has done great job in Santa Ana against odds that would scare out the most reckless and most seasoned publisher. Starting out when news was as scarce as hen's teeth, it managed to get over hurdles that stopped many an old hand. With these and many other almost murmountable obstacles 'Sky' managed to put out a paper that received statewide recognition. The Sunday Globe was a fine newspaper and did a fine job for Santa Ana. Absentee landlordism is a curse that has laid a heavy hand upon the business community of this city for many years. The ones we are thinking about went from rags to riches in our own midst, not from intelligence but from pure luck and the efforts of others and then moved away to fields where their past would not catch up with them and the 'new rich' stigma that so noticeable. They are certainly not prophets at home and when they come in to give the same folks the whats-what all they get is a cheer, Bronx, that is. Bitter are the ashes of vanity when rich men aging, imagine money can buy happiness. You could write a book about that by putting into the heads they chop off in their effort to get something that will only remain to take their children a lot of stuffed shirts. There are no pockets in a shroud. The Fourth of July celebration at Fullerton was a wonderful success in every way. Over three thousand people gathered to enjoy the festivities. At 10 o'clock a procession of gaily decorated floats claimed the attention of the crowds lining the sidewalks. Two brass bands discoursed music along the line of march. At 11 o'clock the crowd gathered at the pavilion to listen to the address by E. T. Langley and the address and reading of the Declaration of Independence by H. C. Head. After the exercises the crowd attended the barbecue. The Misses Hetebrink of Placentia were awarded the prize for the best decorated float, the "Cornucopia." Miss Nora Stone received the prize for the best decorated bicycle and Willie Yeager was given the prize for the best decorated dog cart. Charley Stone, W. E. McFadden and Ben Porter as well as members of the board of trustees were in charge of the festivities. There was quite a lot of excitement at the cannery Monday caused by the blowing out of the plug from one of the gas heaters, used for heating the soldering irons in one of the capping machines which was operated by Ed Marion. He escaped injury by leaping over the railing surrounding him. Bob Mills, operating the other capping machine in attempting to replace the plug, narrowly escaped being seriously burned. It looked for a time as if serious damage might result from the blaze which reached from the floor to the corrugated iron roof. One of the men turned on the water and superintendent Kennedy promptly put a stop to it and Ed Benner-scheidt, the engineer turned off the gas and in a few minutes everything was in running order again. Anaheim Council No. 134 of the Fraternal Aid Association at their last meeting elected the following officers: Dr. G. S. Eddy, president; Bert Elliott, vice-president; Frank S. Gates, secretary; H. Cahen, treasurer; Geo. Frick, guide; Chas. Bauer, observer; William Pannier, sentry; Dr. Eddy, medical examiner; V. R. Cayce, trustee. Mrs. Cora Browning and her little daughter, Helen, leave this week for Mt. Shasta where they will remain for a couple of months before returning home. Mrs. Ralph Carhart (nee Helen Benchley) was safely delivered of a daughter yesterday at her home in Burbank. F. B: Kealiher and George Carroll left last week for Oxnard, where they have positions in the sugar factory at that point. Mrs. Lloyd Bailey and two children of Los Angeles are spending a few days with relatives in town. Mrs. Bailey leaves shortly for Mazatlan to join her husband who is meeting with great success practicing dentistry in that place. Ernest Deamiere, an experienced tailor from Los Angeles, has taken a position in Fitz Yungbluth's tailoring establishment. Miss Roberts of the city schools is spending part of her vacation at Yosemite. 25 Years Ago July 3, 1924 City attorney Webb has rendered an opinion that the ten-year agreement entered into be- between the city of Anaheim and the Southern California Edison Company on April 1st, 1916, cannot be cancelled without the consent of both parties. The contract still has twenty months to run and during that period the city must continue to buy its energy from the Edison company. There is nothing in the contract, however, that prohibits the city installing an auxiliary plant to supply the needs of the community over and above the amount the Edison company is capable of furnishing. The city owns the pole lines and the building. The only cost would be installation of machinery. There are two ways the city can raise the necessary money to install the plant, one is by selling the sewer farm at West Anaheim and the other is by a bond issue. The seriousness of the electrical power emergency in this county was brought home to thousands of persons when the current was shut off from 8 a.m. to 11:30 and from 1 p.m. until 3. Citrus houses were idle. The same schedule of pulling switches, it is stated, will be followed until plans for the conservation of power in the district have been effected. The lawn fete and cafeteria supper given by St. Michael's Episcopal church on the beautiful lawn and grounds of Mrs. Joseph Helmsen on South Claudina street on Friday afternoon and evening was a very successful event. Super was served at 6:30 and a delightful program was provided later. Japanese lanterns were hung about the trees and a gaily decorated fortune telling booth, preceded over by Mrs. A. Singleton, gave an oriental aspect to the scene. Among those assisting on the program were Rev. A. G. H. Bode, Mr. E. Zitzmann, J. E. Wallace and Fred Siegal, Mrs. C. M. Durgan, Mrs. Hugo Schulz, Misses Freda Lumsden, Josephine Durgan and Miss Sarah Mattis. The af- at roll call and helped consume the delicious chicken dinner prepared by the skillful hands of Miss Goodwin, Mrs. Howard and Mr. Burnett. There were more than sixty persons present. Phil Germain was down from Los Angeles Saturday visiting his old friends. Phil was formerly a member of the Anaheim police force and has been running a stationery engine at Los Angeles for several years. Miss Cora Stoffel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Stoffel, and Ulysses Bowers were married at St. Boniface church Wednesday morning by Father Browne. After a short honeymoon trip they will make their home in Anaheim in their cottage on Chestnut street. Supt. V. W. Hannum of the power house, has overhauled an old generator, put it to work and is getting enough juice out of it to run one of the pumps. Miss Theresa Russmiller, daughter of Mrs. John Cordes was married at St. Boniface church Wednesday to Joseph B. Ricker, a south Palm street rancher. The young couple are in Santa Barbara and upon their return will take possession of their new home at Palm and Katella road. Wm. Kohlenburger, who is a medical student at Northwestern University, Chicago, came home the first of the week to spend the summer vacation. William Schumacher of Buena Park, the third district's representative on the Board of Supervisors is a candidate for re-election. Mr. Schumacher has served on the board for a good many years and has grown in strength with his constituents with each succeeding year. To serve his people efficiently a supervisor must make personal sacrifice. Schumacher has never hesitated to do this, and is thoroughly acquainted with the needs not only of his own district but of the entire county. He will probably have no opposition at the polls.
