Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Make Way for Santa As if the signs of the times weren't unmistakable, that rolpy little man with the hearty laugh and the white beard is with us again. There's a miraculous metamorphosis in the behavior of small fry. In the spirit of the festive season, window displays glitter and shelves are well-stocked. The pre-Christmas rush is on and it's time to shop or be caught in the last minute rush. While officials predict it is going to be a banner year for Christmas spending, there's a depressing word, too. Retailers report that those shoppers who look toward January clearance sales with almost as much fervor as they do the Christmas buying spree are in for a disappointment. Nearly all stoges are carrying lighter inventories than a year ago and the slip in prices will be slight. But for now, that's of little importance. Make way for Santa! His bag is full and he will be here soon. believers in California. Indicating that this is only a beginning of a full realization of the state's potential, Mussatti pointed out that "our working force is relatively younger than for the rest of the nation, and that is important to future growth . . . by 1960 it is estimated our population will be 12 to 13 and a half million." Politically, too, Mussatti gives comfort to his fellow Californians: "Next year we may expect eight to ten additional Congressmen. Instead of 23, we will probably have 31 to 33, and our influence will increase accordingly. "Today," Mussatti continued, "the collective income of the people of California is $16,500,000,000, as against $5,606,000,000 in 1940. For two decades, the per capita income of Californians has been from 25 to 39 per cent above the national average." The future? The genial Chamber chief says things will pick up. It's truly Golden California! It's That Time of Year You had better be on your guard because certain things will be coming. IN THE DAY LONG AGO By MRS. HENNELY December 28, 1874 The members of Anaheim lodge IOOF will give a grand ball on New Year's eve, the proceeds to be devoted to benevolent purposes. The committee of arrangements is composed of John P. Zeyn, Frank F. Lafaucherie, H. A. Boege, W. T. Azbill, R. Menzel, Peter Richards and H. Richter. The selection of a committee of gentlemen so well and favorably known as caterers to the pleasure loving makes assurance doubly sure that the occasion will be replete with the utmost enjoyment. Tickets have been placed at the low price of $2 and can be had of any member of the lodge. At the meeting of Anaheim lodge No. 204 F.A.M., held on last Saturday evening, the following officers were elected: Theo Reiser, W.M.; F. W. Athearn, S.W.; Richard Melrose, J.W.; M. L. Goodman, treasurer; P. A. Clark, secretary. A few days ago a teamster in the employ of Ben Dreyfus & Co., while hauling a load of empty pipes to Cucamonga, met with an accident while descending the northern slope of the San Juan hills resulting in the killing of one of his horses and in severe injuries to himself. He neglected or thought it unnecessary to lock his wagon wheels while descending the hill and having no brakes was unable to properly handle his team. Davis Brothers have purchased It’s Truly Golden California! “Californians live in the most rapidly expanding section of the United States—and the world. “This state is first in developed water power, first per capita in radios, automobiles and cash farm income; spends more per capita on education; is first in fishing, motion pictures, mining of mercury, gold and borax.” With that modest beginning, James Mussatti, able, hard-working general manager of the State Chamber of Commerce has played a tune of progress and success—tempered with realism—that is music to his fellow believers. It’s That Time of Year You had better be on your guard because certain things will be coming your way. They’ll come thro’ the mail and they’ll be left at your door. The man of the house will bring them home from the office and the lady of the house will have them bestowed on her wherever she shops. Some of them will be beautiful, some works of art, and some just downright gaudy. One or two of them will be useful. They’ll include pictures of cute little babies, pretty girls, scenes at sea, magnificent sunsets, birds in flight and so on. They’ll come in all sizes—tiny, small, medium, large and gargantuan. And besides all this they’ll tell you the days and months of the year. Yep, that’s right, they’re all the calendars you’re going to get. No doubt you will wonder what to do with them, but you would wonder even more if you had to do without them. So step right up and accept them like a man (or a woman) when they’re offered to you. They’re one of the few things in this world you still get free. CALIFORNIA Last Week (Western News Service) The Governor opened his long publicized employment conference, which some 2,000 persons, a large portion of which were state employees, attended and saw specific recommendations come from the action on agriculture, which advocated expansion of the tanning industry, establishment of a textile industry and an all-year operation for canneries; opened his conference on sex crimes, which is developing amendments to laws which if adopted, would result in dealing more harshly with sex criminals; prepared a series of anti-lobbying bills for the legislature, which has been called into special session; included in his call while hauling a load of empty pipes to Cucamonga, met with an accident while descending the northern slope of the San Juan hills resulting in the killing of one of his horses and in severe injuries to himself. He neglected or thought it unnecessary to lock his wagon wheels while descending the hill and having no brakes was unable to properly handle his team. Davis Brothers have purchased a vineyard from Don Juan Forster and are now having it sub-divided into about forty lots of about one-half acre each. These lots will be offered for sale the first of the coming month and, being situated in the heart of town are most desirable. Services at the Presbyterian church by Rev. J. M.

We acknowledge the receipt of a very nice present of wild fowl 50 Years December 28, 1898 At 4:23 o’clock on Monday morning the town was awakened by the most severe earthquake shock ever experienced here. The vibrations were from north to south and the duration of the quake was probably twelve to fifteen seconds, although some estimates go as high as two minutes and some as low as four seconds. Fifteen seconds make a good long quake, longer than we really care to have occur again. No damage was done although considerable nervousness and excitement prevailed during the vibrations. Clocks were stopped and in some instances bookcases and other things were shaken from shelves. A bright reddish light was noticed in some sections in the western sky. At San Jacinto and Hemet the shock was more severe damaging, it is said, nearly every business block in town.

He neglected or unnecessary to lock his wheels while descending and having no brakes was properly handle his brothers have purchased from our friend Ott of Anaheim Landing. And we do so with a thorough appreciation of the kindly feeling toward the Gazette which prompted the remembrance. The exhibition given by the children of the Fairview school district on last Tuesday evening was a most enjoyable affair and passed off much to the pleasure and satisfaction of both actors and onlookers. The schooner "George W. Prescott" arrived at Anaheim Landing from Little River on Tuesday with 160,000 feet of assorted lumber consigned to Halberstadt & Company. Mr. John Fischer returned home from San Francisco by the steamer "Senator." It is reported that he has in contemplation a three story brick addition to the Planters Hotel. DeWitt Lawrence and wife are passing through the holidays with Dr. and Mrs. Hardin, the parents of Mrs. Lawrence. F. W. Koll intends starting a lumber yard in Anaheim. It will be located in the vicinity of the depot and will be opened after the trains begin to make regular trips. A county land warrant has been secured by Augustus Leipp, who served during the Mexican war with Stevenson's California regiment. He was a comrade in the same company with John Schu- was at dinner. The loss was not discovered until Sunday morning. Last May Mr. Berghofer's brooder was burned and he lost between 500 and 600 big and little turkeys. It is supposed the stolen birds were taken into Los Angeles and sold. The loss was reported to the sheriff. The senior class of Anaheim Union high school received their class rings last week and expressed themselves as being most highly pleased with same, both as to design and to splendid quality and workmanship. The rings came from Hartfields, the well-known Anaheim jeweler, and were secured for the class at a large saving over previous years. Mr. Hartfield imbued with the Christmas spirit gave the class a bargain impossible of duplication. City attorney W. P. Webb was stricken suddenly with appendicitis Sunday afternoon. He was moved from his home to the Community hospital where an operation was performed. Speedy recovery was expected after the operation and it is reported that his condition is favorable. One thousand kiddies crowded into the California theatre on Monday afternoon to witness the annual entertainment provided by the Elks and receive the presents presented by Santa Claus. Jackie Coogan in "Circus Days" was present on the screen. A. E. Hargrove, Anaheim real estate dealer, a member of the state board, has been offered the position of Pacific coast representative • of the National Realty Board. This is an important post and Mr. Hargrove will no doubt accept the honor. The ranch home of A. C. Weatherwax, northeast of town, was totally destroyed by fire Saturday night. The auto, the furniture and all the clothing of the family were lost. No insurance. Sen. Knowland Blasts U. S. China Policy (Continued from page 1) the communists take over all China; they will take over all of southeast Asia, including ultimately even India and Pakistan, which would mean a billion and a half population threatening our interests and security," said Knowland. Knowland hit the policy that allocates 98 per cent of government financial aid against the Reds to Europe, and only 2 per cent to the Far East. The explanation for inconsistent American policy in the two regions, he said, is that the policy stems from information coming to higher levels in the administration from below, and this information has not matched, as between the Orient and Europe. That, he said, initially led the administration into error in China, and then the administration had to save face by following the wrong course. "Let's not be misled. The Chinese Reds are not aglarian liberals, independent of Russia, as some profess to believe," he warned. "History will record that recognition of the communist regime in China as great a betrayal of mankind as the Munich pact," the senator declared. In view of the communist threat in the Far East, Knowland recommended as a matter of defense policy, the basing of two U.S. carriers at Manila, and "good will" tours of the Far East. He cited the jittery state of Turkey under the pressure of Russia's war of nerves, and how the Turks were calmed and braced after the visit there of two American warships. Ben Reddick, Newport Beach publisher, president of the country publisher's group, presided over the dinner meeting. At the public meeting later, Roscoe Hewitt-Santa Ana county republican 50 Years Ago December 28, 1898 B. o'clock on Monday the town was awakened most severe earthquake experienced here.

Mrs. Mosseman came down from Los Angeles to spend Christmas with relatives and friends. Mrs. Frank Gates is in Colton Grand Jury Labels Management As Major Shortcoming (Continued from page 1) Charging no attempt is made to operate on a budget, the grand jury report noted that capital outlays have totaled $1,655,000 to date. It further stated that no systematic effort is made to recover fees from patients citing that of $1,373,000 expended only $180,000 has been recovered. "Continual Squabble" Six departments of the hospital, operating independently, were "in a continual squabble with each other," the report observed. Although the grand jurors were informed at the hospital that the county supervisors has never refused a request for equipment, physical facilities were generally poor, the grand jury found. The entire situation was so critical that on May 2, 1949, the grand jury wrote to the supervisors, urging immediate revision of the administration, and questioning the practice of part-time professional service. Coordination of departments, care of inmates of the psycho-alcoholic ward, and lack of facilities were criticized. Reorganization of the out-patient clinic was urged.

Among other things, reapportionment of the state on just and equitable lines will be undertaken. Rapid growth of the southern counties has swelled the population out of all proportion to the basis of representation. It is probable that Orange county will seek a senator to represent the county alone. It is probable that Hon. Frank E. Merriam of Long Beach will again be named speaker of the assembly, although it is reported there is some opposition to him in the north. Assemblyman S. C. Hartranft left Monday for Sacramento. Fifty-nine turkeys, part of a flock of 125 were stolen from the Berghofer ranch two miles south-west of town on Saturday evening about six o'clock, while the family poor, the grand jury found. The entire situation was so critical that on May 2, 1949, the grand jury wrote to the supervisors, urging immediate revision of the administration, and questioning the practice of part-time professional service. Coordination of departments, care of inmates of the psycho-alcoholic ward, and lack of facilities were criticized. Reorganization of the out-patient clinic was urged. Since that time, continues the report, the board of supervisors has given much attention to hospital affairs, and some improvement has been shown, notably rearrangement of the out-patient clinic and provision for emergency cases. New Alcoholic Ward The psycho-alcoholic ward remains the "sore spot" of the hospital, said the report, citing the case of Edward O'Doolan, giving extensive publicity not long ago when he died of a skull operation at the Long Beach naval hospital, after being transferred from the Orange county hospital. Charges that he had been injured in the county hospital were not verified, the grand jury report states. But the ward is inadequate, and a new building is the only cure, the grand jury decided. Even as the grany jury was filing its report, the county supervisors were conducting examinations of applications for the hospital administrator's post at the office of the county personnel department. A board committee participated in conduct of the examinations, with 16 applicants from points within and without the state being sifted.

At the meeting later, Roscoe Hewana county republican in restaurants and taverns Dec. 3, but that it was his opinion that the machines were operated for amusement only, and he had no evidence of payoffs. He said he contemplated no further action, the report said, explaining that he did not believe he could get evidence without hiring outside investigators. This would require a special appropriation by the city council, according to Hershey. The report added that no such request had been made. Hershey was said to have testified that at no time during his entire term of office had there been any prosecutions for possession or use of slot machines or punchboards, although he had picked up three or four of the latter during the last six months. “This grand jury,” the report remarks in conclusion, “has no brief for or against punchboards as such. However, over many years, whenever these items have been prevalent and in use, although illegal, a suspicion exists in the minds of the people against the law enforcement officers. Such suspicions, whether just or unjust, can only be eliminated by eliminating the illegal gambling devices. Present laws, if enforced, are adequate to do this, and we believe the citizens of Orange county are entitled to that enforcement.” The entire grand jury concurred in the report, excepting two members who were absent.

It is here right now. Let us keep our minds open and strive not to miss the boat. The watchword is quality. Flores Services Held Tuesday Funeral services for Ascencion Flores, 61, who, until her death Saturday evening at a Los Angeles county hospital, had resided in the northern Orange county area for a number of years, were conducted at Hilgenfeld chapel Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock with the Rev. D. Venegas, pastor of the Mexican Methodist church in Fullerton, officiating. Assisting with the rites was the Rev. Alphonso Dominguez, former pastor of the Fullerton church of which the deceased woman was a member. A native of Mexico, she came to California 37 years ago and had lived most of these years in the northern Orange county area. Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Zeferina Martinez of Rivera and Mrs. Celia Dominguez of Pasadena, and one brother, Benito DeLeon of Anaheim. Interment was in Loma Vista Memorial Park.
