Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Who's Who in Selfish Interests President Truman is trying to lay the weakness of the Fair Deal onto big business. He blasts what he calls the "selfish interests." The misnamed Fair Deal was used by the President in the 80th Congress, particularly as a club against the Taft-Hartley Labor Act. The 80th Congress was the "worst" according to the President. He might now truthfully admit that the 81st Congress is worse than its forebear because the Democrat party is supposed to stand pat in support of the President. But even the Democrats couldn't find any reason, or sense, in the President's program for ditching the Taft-Hartley Act. The President must hatch up an alibi. He calls it "selfish interests." But even in his Labor Day speeches he did not mislead millions of Americans. 1948 patients who still need clinic or hospital treatment. The money raised in the Polio Epidemic Emergency Drive will be used exclusively for services to polio patients in all states, Mr. O'Connor said. Contributions may be mailed to POLIO, care of your local Post Office. Progress since 1938 when the National Foundation was formed, was indicated by Mr. O'Connor as follows: More than $23,500,000 has gone into a comprehensive research and education program, seeking control of polio and training of experts—virologists, orthopedists, pediatricians, public health physicians, nurses, physical therapists and other medical workers who make up the professional army now battling the disease in laboratories and hospital wards. At least $58,000,000 had gone for patient care, prior to 1949, in IN THE D LONG ACC By MR September 26, 1874 The total assessed value oferty in Los Angeles county 080,366.

He might now truthfully admit that the 81st Congress is worse than its forebear because the Democrat party is supposed to stand pat in support of the President. But even the Democrats couldn't find any reason, or sense, in the President's program for ditching the Taft-Hartley Act. The President must hatch up an alibi. He calls it "selfish interests." But even in his Labor Day speeches he did not mislead millions of Americans about "selfish interests." These are the able groups who keep the wheels going 'round, and employ millions of workmen at good wages. These so-called "selfish interests" are obeying the Taft-Hartley law and they are going the limit to prevent strikes and settle disputes with many labor unions. The prosperity of America depends upon our national industrial progress. American business cannot be abused by anybody—not even by the President of the United States. The United States has grown to be the richest nation in the world. The good men and women who have labored in every branch of industry have been treated well, particularly in this century. The trouble is that big groups of labor union bosses have been upsetting the American apple-cart with one strike after another! In the Roosevelt days F.D.R. managed to engineer the progress of all the big strikes and he created "selfish interests" among members of most of the big unions. Suppose you want to get right down to labor conditions at the present time. Then get hold of a copy of the Taft-Hartley Law and study it carefully. It provides the protection that may be needed at any time by wage earners, officials and the big "selfish interests" the President has specialized on. Even he should study this act which is a real Fair Deal for everybody interested in maintaining Democracy among our own people.—J. E. Jones, National Industries News Service. We Hope So The newspaper and magazine prophets are telling us commoners that the worst of the business slump for 1949 is over. There has been an upturn in the conditions around textiles, steel and the motor world. On the other hand the factory output in the large industries has suffered considerably. Output of goods is down about follows: More than $23,500,000 has gone into a comprehensive research and education program, seeking control of polio and training of experts—virologists, orthopedists, pediatricians, public health physicians, nurses, physical therapists and other medical workers who make up the professional army now battling the disease in laboratories and hospital wards. At least $58,000,000 had gone for patient care, prior to 1949, in payment of polio bills families could not meet themselves; in staffing and equipping polio centers for modern care and treatment, in establishing equipment depots in six stragetic locations throughout the country from which respirators, hot pack machines, beds, cribs and other emergency supplies can be rapidly dispatched to hard-hit areas. Tito and The Tempest International politics, like the home-grown variety, makes strange bedfellows. We little dreamed just a year or two ago that Marshal Tito, the Belgrade bully, would be anxious to get under the American blankets for a little warmth and comfort. But he is—and how! Tito has been out in the cold as far as Moscow is concerned ever since he decided he was big enough to talk back to Uncle Joe. The Kremlin boss has been slow in putting the screws on his impudent "nephew" but he now appears ready to do it. The break with Stalin has caused Tito to try to "make friends and influence people"—in the west. He isn't feuding with the Italians anymore over Trieste and he has lately discovered that American capital is a pretty good thing—especially if he can get some. The situation in the Balkans is highly dangerous because Moscow cannot afford to let one of its stooges defy it and will stop at nothing short of war to get rid of Tito. If we help Tito through economic aid to stand against Russia we should do it with our eyes open. We should realize that he is still a Communist, that he still runs a police state, still opposes everything we stand for and will be our friend only so long as it serves his ends. Yes, international politics makes strange bedfellows. What Is a The following deed was ed in the office of the county corder in Los Angeles during week—Peter Richards to Rzel, 50x200 feet of vineyard D3, Anaheim, $75.

Gardiner returns Thursday from a trip to San Cisco where he had gone his father. Mr. Gardiner, ter, is directly from his Knoxville, Tennessee, and making his future home vicinity. We acknowledge our interest to Mrs. Kuelp for her remembrance of the office shown by those large and significant clusters of grapes found their way to our offices ago. Mrs. Kuelp is thanked of one of the best producing yards in Anaheim. September 28, 1895 Flags were up yesterday town on account of Dew rival. Cousin George is all Anaheim.

The Planters hotel originally occupied the sited down for the second July 4th, 1890, and for many thereafter the lot was used for public gatherings, etc. The A Band erected a band star and gave weekly concerts Crowther was the band led many years.—Ed.) We Hope So The newspaper and magazine prophets are telling us commoners that the worst of the business slump for 1949 is over. There has been an upturn in the conditions around textiles, steel and the motor world. On the other hand the factory output in the large industries has suffered considerably. Output of goods is down about 17 percent—but old mother production is looking up. The home-building boom has slowed down because the real estators have been doing too much chiseling on prices and profits. Polio Foundation Asks With thousands of children and adults in hospitals today as the result of current widespread polio epidemics, and with as many new cases likely to develop in the months just ahead, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has launched a Polio Epidemic Emergency drive to provide immediate funds for patient care. The price-tag on this year's epidemic will be so enormous according to Basil O'Connor, National Foundation President, that $14,500,000 must be raised to meet the national polio bill. During 1948, when there were 27,908 cases in the country, the highest number since the record total in 1916, the National Foundation and its chapters spent $17,000,000 in March of Dimes funds to provide epidemic services, he said. With even more cases this year, it looks as though it may cost $25,000,000 in 1949 to pay for that part of medical and hospital care which families cannot pay themselves. Furthermore, it is estimated that a minimum of $5,000,000 will be required to continue helping nothing short of war to get rid of Tito. If we help Tito through economic aid to stand against Russia we should do it with our eyes open. We should realize that he is still a Communist, that he still runs a police state, still opposes everything we stand for and will be our friend only so long as it serves his ends. Yes, international politics makes strange bedfellows. What Is a "Man-Sized" Town? One of our newspaper prophets got an idea across to a Washington newspaper that Washington, D.C. will be a city of two million people in the next 20 years—which may be a sad misfortune, because it will double the number of American-born citizens who can't vote. This suggestion is made in view of the fact that the Congress of the United States stole the right of suffrage and of equal citizenship in the District in 1874. The politicians haven't let loose on all the patronage schemes that have enriched the political strength of Senators, Representatives and the President. The District of Columbia citizens will be kept on the black-list as long as Congress has its way. Why talk about race equality and the difference between whites and blacks? The situation in Washington is just as bad today as it was when the Congress abolished territorial status of the district. No white man or colored man has voted in this city of a million people since that time—and they are not going to. Going Ahead, Good Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Dominican Republic and Haiti, are getting their full share of the DP's and immigrants. Some people are in debt because they spend what their friends think they make. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago September 26, 1874 The total assessed value of property in Los Angeles county is $12,-30,366. Work has been commenced on the eastern extension of the Spring and Sixth street Railway in Los Angeles.

The following deed was recorded in the office of the county recorder in Los Angeles during the week—Peter Richards to R. Menel, 50x200 feet of vineyard lot 93, Anaheim, $75. The second assistant masons are making mortar in front of Henry Koeger's cellar on Center street, and we take it therefor that his new brick store will be com- Death of Rev. L. P. Webber—Although the event has been for some time past anticipated, still it was with a general expression of sorrow that the news was received on yesterday morning that Rev. L. P. Webber had gone to his rest. Rapidly failing health had caused him to give up, one by one, the different duties to which, since his arrival in Los Angeles county, he had earnestly devoted himself. It is but a few weeks since that we published a card from him to the Presbyterian church which he founded and of which he has been the only pastor, resigning himself to the will of the Master. Since that time he has resided in Anaheim in order to be under the constant care of physicians. As the morning of yesterday broke upon his dying couch, peacefully and in full possession of his mental faculties he surrendered to his Maker, last of all, the life that had been devoted to his service. From a private letter from G. W. McCoy, formerly foreman of this office, now residing in San Francisco, we take the following extracts—"Steinhart the veteran 'Boniface' is here taking things easy, with nothing to do but eat, sleep and smoke. Anaheim has become a sensational place since I left. First, a man gets killed, then Tommy Kuchel parked his bicycle in front of the Gazette office Sunday afternoon while he attended to some business inside, and a short time later found it had disappeared. Persons living in the neighborhood saw a Mexican boy mount it and wheel away toward the north end of town. After scouring that section of town without results Tommy notified the police of the theft and hopes to recover it in time. Miss Mable Zeigler of this city and Ted Masterson of Los Angeles motored to Riverside Saturday where they were married in the chapel of the Mission Inn. Rev. Hunt, rector of Riverside Episcopal church officiating. A unique feature of the ceremony was that T. A. Masterson, father of the groom and Mrs. Mary Zeigler, mother of the bride, acted as attendants. The bride is a native of Anaheim and is a prominent member of the younger set. Since the announcement of her engagement several social affairs have been given in her honor. The groom is connected with a tile manufacturing plant in Los Angeles. After a week’s honeymoon the young people will take up their residence in one of the apartments of a court owned by the bride’s mother, Mrs. Mary Zeigler. Mrs. Marie Schulte, wife of Anton Schulte, died at her home on South Palm street last Thursday morning after an illness of several weeks, her age being 77.

Answering promptly—giving others a full minute to answer her call—are first on Janie's list of aids to service. How Janie helps herself to better service 1. "Allowing a little time between calls," says Janie, "gives others a chance to call me... and it's a nice party-line courtesy, too." So when she's getting the gang together for a picnic, or for any reason needs to make calls in a row, she waits several minutes between each one. "It's simple to make friends with others on our line. I just use the telephone the way I like them to." 2. Looking up numbers, Janie knows, is really important. "So easy to get them mixed up," she explains. "Why, I was just sure Babs' number was 8145... but when I called her I got the drug store. Turned out her number was 8415. So unless I'm really sure of a number, I'm going to look it up in the telephone book." That's a good tip for all of us—teen-agers and grown-ups. 3. Getting the most from the telephone—and helping others get better service—depends in part on every telephone user. Facilities have doubled in the West in ten years. Your telephone is today one of your most valuable servants... saving time, saving steps. And it still does its job for just a few pennies a call. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company
