Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Armistice Day It might be argued with considerable persuasiveness that the significance of Armistice Day has been lost in the events which have occurred in the last decade. To be sure, the world has not achieved the lasting peace which seemed to be at hand back there on November 11, 1918. But as long as Armistice Day is used as an occasion to remember the men who gave their lives in both World Wars for the cause of peace and justice, and as long as it serves to remind us of our obligations to them and to future generations, it should continue to be observed. Whether the United Nations today can succeed where the League of Nations failed yesterday, remains to be seen. But permanent peace must be attained if civilization is to survive. Out of the failures of the past may yet come victory tomorrow. Out of the blasted hopes of the original Armistice Day may yet come not merely a long armistice but enduring tranquility. Hoover Program The Hoover report cannot make or break the federal budget, but it can mean the difference between a surplus or a deficit. The Hoover program reached Congress last spring. It was the product of two years of effort by the Hoover Commission was created by law—and several hundred experts who formed research work with it.

UNION PACIFIC STATION Telephone: 3519 UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago November 14, 1874 The ladies are making great preparations for the fair for the benefit of the Episcopal church to take place on the 16th of December. Among the contributions received by the management was a box of fancy articles and indescribable gew-gaws presented by Mr. Loebe of the firm of E. Meyer & Co. of Los Angeles, for which the ladies are properly grateful. On Wednesday evening the rain which the clerk of the weather had been promising for the last ten or twelve days past, commenced to descend in a gentle, though steady fructifying shower. It lasted almost continuously through the night, and on yesterday morning the rain gauge had marked one and one-quarter inch of rain. As we go to press there are no indications of a continuance of wet weather. Sol is beaming in a joyful and semiotropical manner. Mitchell returned from Paramount on Wednesday. He says there are seven hundred men, ten women and four inches of snow up there and that at the present time the thermometer and all kinds of labor are below zero. Owing to the presence of gold and the absence of lumber it promises to be a most lively "camp" when spring opens. We don't know if it is any of our bond for the faithful performance of the work in the sum of $6000. The clerk was ordered to advertise for bids to build a bridge over the San Jose creek on the Spadra and Anaheim road and also for proposals to repair the bridge over the new San Gabriel river. Born—November 18th, 1874, to the wife of D. Strodthoff, a son.—November 18th, to the wife of D. A. M. Thompson, a son.—November 13th, at Los Angeles, to the wife of A. W. Hutton, a daughter.

The "Orizaba" which leaves San Francisco this morning is the fourth steamer which has left that port for Anaheim Landing during the present week. At Mr. Langerberger's store there is the "cutest" novelty in the shape of a mouse trap that we have even seen, and it would answer admirably for gophers too. The San Joaquin artesian well is down three hundred feet and still no stream of water has grown larger and more perous with each year. Five years ago this week partment store of Harris Kenstein was founded. Business in the Metropolitan, which stood on the tract on West Center street years ago the building was called by the Roberts block came a part of the solid brick buildings stretching Lemon to Clementine store was later moved to near the Center and Los where the Mitchell blends. When the Cass was built on the opposite street, the store was its present location. Two years ago the two property two clerks handled them with ease. Now twenty years kept busy. About twenty years Kurt Epstein, nephew of Kenstein came into the area and a portion of the crest success belongs to him. The Everett grocery West Center street has meat market in the section fore occupied by Billy M.

Evidently the CIO longshoremen strike in Hawaii has been kept under watchful eyes to determine whether the strike conducted under the direction of the notorious Harry Bridges of California can be checked. Apparently the promotes Communism in Hawaii. Ever since labor unions became prominent this man Bridges has been about as bad a disturber as any of the union bosses. The first non-stop flight for New York to Paris in an airplane was Chas. A. Lindberg, who made the flight in 1927. Mitchell returned from Paramount on Wednesday. He says there are seven hundred men, ten women and four inches of snow up there and that at the present time the thermometer and all kinds of labor are below zero. Owing to the presence of gold and the absence of lumber it promises to be a most lively "camp" when spring opens. We don't know if it is any of our business but nevertheless we cannot refrain from expressing our pleasure whilst noting the fact that friend Hutton, of Los Angeles has so worthily filled the position of city attorney that no one cares to oppose him. The Board of Supervisors met on Monday. All present except Supervisor Machado. The contract for building three bridges over the Anaheim and Wilmington road was awarded to Hayes and Polhemus for $2995, the contractors giving 50 Years Ago November 23, 1899 Oscar Renner has dispatched a Christmas box to his brother William, who is fighting for Uncle Sam in the Philippine Islands. The government sends Christmas boxes of less than 20 pounds free from San Francisco. Billy's mother sent along a fruit cake of which Billy is especially fond. When last heard from he was doing well. Here's wishing Billy a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Clarence Groat came down from Los Angeles on Monday on his way to the Bolsa Chica shooting grounds.

Judge J. B. Pierce has filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States District Court in Los Angeles. He owes $496.90 and lists assets to the amount of $7,882 of which amount $4,700 is in real estate and $2,410 is claimed to be exempt.

A child of Randolph Congdon of San Juan Capistrano was seriously injured Sunday by a fall from a fence. 50 Years Ago Samuel Kraemer was in town on Monday. He is rejoiced that he cast his lot with the Anaheim Walnut Association. His walnuts this year sold in some lots as high as 10 cents per pound. He is a firm believer in the necessity for the construction of a reservoir by the Water Company, and says if one were to be constructed he would lay out a large new acreage of naval orange trees on his ranch east of Placentia. He recalled that some years ago, before the exchange was formed, Earle had the nerve to offer him 25 cents a box for his oranges picked and delivered at the packing house. Nowadays the association pays $1 per box which makes orange growing pay fairly well. 25 Years Ago November 20, 1924 Chispa chapter O.E.S. held their election of officers at the meeting on Tuesday evening and the following officers were elected: Mrs. Evelyn Beat, worthy matron; Roy Easton, worthy patron; Mrs. Ruth Harbeson, associate matron; Mrs. Virginia Turner, conductress; Mrs. F.

This past week, on November 12th, 1924, Mrs. Chester Holcomb and Mrs. Arthur Lewis entertained the Ladles Euchre Club, which still bears on its roster some of the names of original members, at the Angelica roof garden which was very beautifully decorated. Mrs. J. Dwyer won the first prize, Mrs. G. W. Sandillands the second and Mrs. G. W. Hamler the consolation. A very dainty collation was served at the card tables after the games. In the old time stories reproduced from the files of the Gazette of former years, and appearing each week on the second page of this paper, there appears this week a story of the birth, a quarter of a century ago, of a business which has grown larger and more prosperous with each year. Twenty-five years ago this week, the department store of Harris and Walkerstein was founded. It began business in the Metropolitan building, which stood on the Deutsch tract on West Center street. Some years ago the building was absorbed by the Roberts block and became a part of the solid row of brick buildings stretching from Lemon to Clementine street. The store was later moved to the corner of Center and Los Angeles where the Mitchell block now stands. When the Casson block was built on the opposite side of the street, the store was moved to its present location. Twenty-five years ago the two properties and two clerks handled the business with ease. Now twenty clerks are kept busy. About twenty years ago Kurt Epstein, nephew of Mr. Falkenstein came into the business and a portion of the credit for its success belongs to him. The Everett grocery store on West Center street has added a meat market in the section heretofore occupied by Billy Knott. L. M. Pickles, who was formerly with the Knott market, is in charge. Pete Wisser, local sporting goods dealer, returned last week from a trip to Salton Sea with Will Hamilton where the two men got a wonderful lot of ducks and geese, it requiring two men to carry them to the Schneider market where Pete keeps them on ice until needed. The bag included teal, spoonbills and two kinds of geese.

ENJOYS READING THE GAZETTE A letter from Prof. John Buxbaum, vocational instructor, Collinsville, Oklahoma, to a friend in Anaheim reads: We enjoy reading the Gazette, and especially the agricultural news articles. It is also interesting to note the weekly weather reports showing the temperatures. I enjoyed the California climate while in the service when stationed out there. We had our first killing frost in Oklahoma on the night of October 30th. However, we have had a most delightful fall, with plenty of rain and sunshine, and as a result all fall crops are looking fine. Your big Hallowe'en celebration each year, I think is a most excellent idea as it provides healthful, educational and instructive entertainment and barrels of fun and enjoyment for both old, middle-aged and young." Hallowe'en Grand Parade Televised Films taken of the Hallowe'en grand parade were shown over television station KLAC on the Monte Montana, Weber Bread show Monday evening. A feature of the new half-hour feature was the presentation of the trophy for having the best horse drawn entry in the parade. The films showed the Weber bread entries in the parade and the Excelsior Creamery and the Miss Slick Chick floats. Dick Gay, Hallowe'en festival chairman presented the trophy to Monte Montana. Earnie Moeller, chamber manager and Harry Bradley, parade marshal were present. More than 30 million tons of freight annually pass through the Suez canal.

"Calling Tokyo...4250" How overseas service puts the world by your telephone 1. For doing business and keeping in touch with friends, overseas telephone service has become an everyday tool. In its twenty-two years, the calling rate has jumped from about 2,300 calls a year to 600,000. Today, your voice can be sent over short-wave radio to ninety-four per cent of the world's telephones ...over circuits as long as 8,000 miles. 2. Skilled technicians in the circuit control room keep constant watch on their equipment to make sure your voice can hurdle the earth and still sound about as clear as a cross-town call. And overseas service is easy to use. Your Long Distance operator will give you the rates, the best time to call...and set up an appointment call for you if you wish. 3. In 1927, the lowest overseas rate from the West was $84.00. Now the maximum to most countries is $12.00 (plus tax) for three minutes. Many calls cost less. Making it possible to call almost anyone, at low cost, is another way we've made your telephone more valuable. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company
