Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Buy at Home That old saying about the grass looking greener in the other field certainly applies to the buying habits of some people. They seem to think that they can do better by making their purchases in other towns or in the large cities. This might have been true years ago, but in these days when smart merchandising methods are practised not only by the chain stores in small communities but by the alert independents as well, the local customer finds, if he looks into the matter, that he can do just as well in his home town as elsewhere. The point is that the modern small community, especially here in Anaheim, is on its toes. Its merchants and citizens are in close touch with world developments. The local newspapers and the radio keep them informed; good highways and dependable transportation enable them to broaden their contacts; they enjoy good entertainment through the movies; bottom has been reached in the current decline. The prophets have all been interviewed and the results are that they see good business for this fall and winter. Stop the Music Whether or not the giveaway mania practiced via the radio will be curbed depends on the decisions of the courts. The broadcasting companies say they won't accept the restrictions planned by the Federal Communications Commission without a fight. The broadcasters, however, might be wise to do a little curbing of their own. Giveaway programs have become so numerous that some of the better radio personalities—Fred Allen, for one—are giving up in disgust. Good as they are, they can't compete with the handouts. The giveaways are also developing the something-for-nothing craze among a large number of our citizens who suffer frustration from one jacknot to another.

B of obtaining a greater poses to go still deep The point is that the modern small community, especially here in Anaheim, is on its toes. Its merchants and citizens are in close touch with world developments. The local newspapers and the radio keep them informed; good highways and dependable transportation enable them to broaden their contacts; they enjoy good entertainment through the movies; they have available through the local banks all the financial services of metropolitan centers; their interests in cultural, political and economic affairs are broadened through close contact with national and international trends and events. In short, Anaheim of today is definitely not small in its thinking, its outlook or its services. You have only to take a good look at our home town to see this for yourself. Margaret Mitchell Margaret Mitchell had only one story to tell. But she told it well—so fascinatingly well that both she and her story became world renowned. With fame she gained a fortune. What's more, she gained the affection of people everywhere—even among the "damned Yankees"—and created a better understanding of the south she loved so dearly. Miss Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind" holds, and will probably continue to hold, the record for the number of copies sold—something like 8 million. The Bible is the only book with a greater sales volume. Even now, 43 years after it was first published there are 60,000 copies of GWTW bought at bookstands each year in the United States alone. The book has been translated into 50 different languages and sold in 40 different countries. The movie production of it smashed box office records and the picture is still being shown. Margaret Mitchell's story will not be forgotten. Neithar will she. Boom or Bust There seems to be more confidence in the belief that our country will not suffer a very heavy decline in industry for the rest of this year. Some of the leading authorities on our national conditions seem to share the belief that employment may yet climb to about 59,000,000 because there is now a continuing need for merchandise that is hard to get. But do mission without a light. The broadcasters, however, might be wise to do a little curbing of their own. Giveaway programs have become so numerous that some of the better radio personalities—Fred Allen, for one—are giving up in disgust. Good as they are, they can't compete with the handouts. The giveaways are also developing the something-for-nothing craze among a large number of our citizens who suffer frustration from one jackpot to another. If the time put in keeping one ear glued to the radio while the other listens (hopefully) for the phone were devoted to something more constructive it would result in greater individual satisfaction—and fewer giveaway programs. Sudden wealth is a pleasant thing to contemplate. But the chance of winning is about one in 50 million. And even jackpot winners have found that between paying the tax collector and disposing of a lot of not-so-useful items, the lucky ones are those who don't win. The one sure way to get money is to save it. Every dollar you have tucked away in the bank around the corner is worth 10 thousand jackpot possibilities. Few people get the jackpot, but everyone can have a nest egg. States 49 and 50 The marathon struggle of Alaska and Hawaii to achieve statehood has appeared near fruition on several occasions in the past year or two. But close doesn't count. They aren't states yet, and if we are to judge by present congressional action, they won't reach their goal for some time to come. Last March the House Public Lands Committee voted almost unanimously in favor of the statehood bills. Now, the chairman of that committee says that no effort will be made to bring the measure to the floor of the House for a vote. Why? That isn't clear. No less than eight congressional committees have reported that these territories are ready for membership in the Union. Reports were based on direct investigations. Washington opinion is that the statehood bills will be passed by an overwhelming margin if, and when, they come to a vote. But they are being kept tucked safely away in committee. That brings up the question again: Why? Maybe it is just that congressional leaders don't want to spoil the record of this Congress by getting something done.

On Monday, Mr. Goedel of Coyote Creek presented the office with a mammoth watermelon measuring 72 inches in circumference one way and 51 inches the other. The next day Mr. L. Parker sent some large and luscious peaches and on Friday morning Mrs. Parker sent us a present of some fine apples and peaches. The successful termination of Mr. Alex Henry's endeavor to obtain artesian water will be a great thing for Anaheim. The attempts heretofore made have been frustrated by coming in contact with a stratum of earth filled with large boulders and it was generally believed that on that account artesian wells could not be obtained in this immediate vicinity. Mr. Henry has obtained a fine flow of water at 320 feet. Being desirous of obtaining a greater flow he proposes to go still deeper. description of the untold wealth now being extracted from the different working shafts of that district and has for inspection many fine specimens.

The new depot is situated three blocks from the heart of the city and is within easy reach of all.

What you are when no one is looking is what you are. When you call the family taxi, need a telephone for any reason, have you noticed one always seems handy? “Come get us, daddy, the movie’s over” When you call the family taxi, need a telephone for any reason, have you noticed one always seems handy? "Come get us, daddy, the movie's over" 1. It doesn't just happen there's a public telephone not far away when you look for it. Locations have been carefully selected to make sure service is where it's needed most... in theatres, filling stations, drug stores, terminals. And special installations are often made to meet the needs of crowds—at conventions, fairs and the like. Today there are some 85,000 public telephones at work in the West. 2. More errands run, more jobs done, more time saved for you...telephone service has many duties. And public telephones make service still more valuable by putting all telephones, both residence and business, within convenient reach...no matter where you may be. More and more are going in, too...as we keep pushing our job of furnishing good, well-rounded telephone service to the West. 3. Good service for you comes from the big job of handling millions of calls every day. But the extras mean a lot, too—like putting telephone booths in handy places. They add up to keep your service one of today's best buys. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company
