HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Dotter and Bradley of Los Angeles advertise in our columns that they have for sale 500 raw-hide bottom chairs. David Davis has the contract for excavating the cellar for the hotel building. He has a force of men how at work. (This hotel was never built, but the excavation for the cellar at the southwest corner of Los Angeles and Adele streets made by David Davis at this time will be remembered by all old Anaheimers. It was many years before a building was erected on this lot—Editor). Married in Anaheim, June 11, 1875, A. C. Rogers to Miss Ida Smith. General Stoneman has been selected to act as grand marshal of the Fourth of July celebration in Los Angeles. The schooner "Prescott" arrived at Anaheim Landing on Tuesday with 160,000 feet of redwood lumber for Halberstadt and Co.

There is now communication four times a day between Anaheim and Orange. 25 Years Ago After checking up the receipts and paying the bills, managers of the fifth annual Valencia orange show and themselves with considerable surplus money on hand, which will be used in starting next year's exhibition. More than one hundred thousand people visited the show this year, which was one third more than the attendance at any previous exhibition. The gate receipts together with the money received from concessions, paid the $60,000 which it cost to stage the show and left a large balance for use in starting next year's show, or to apply on the permanent buildings which the managers are ambitious to erect. At the regular weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon at the Elks club; the members were out in strength to hear Assemblyman S. C. Hartranft, who gave a most entertaining and interesting talk on the work and routine of the California Legislature in session. Secretary George W. Reid of the Chamber of Commerce spoke for a few minutes on the community advertising and building now being canvassed and which has already been approved by the Retail Merchants Association and the Chamber of Commerce. President Chas. Mann spoke in favor of the Roy Seventh drive new great scheme of American government. If you do not vote, then don't kick about the man in public office or the things he does. His actions are influenced by the percentage of electors who get out and cast ballots. The larger the number of voters, the more public officials know the people mean business. It is in your own interest to vote. DO IT RIGHT NOW. And, oh yes, in your desire to get right at those candidates, do yourself a favor: don't overlook the three propositions on the ballot. They tell your elected officials how you want them to handle your government.

A sale of town lots in Santa Monica is advertised and The Herald proposes to believe that it is the intention of Senator Jones and his conferees to build up a rival city. 50 Years Ago Mr. Zeus entertained the Ladies Euchre club at her home on Broadway on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Smith won the first prize, Mrs. Sandilands the second and Mrs. Eddy the booby. Refreshments were served after the game. This was the last party of the season. The club intends having a picnic at Long Beach in July. Adolph Rimpau was in Los Angeles on Monday in consultation with the directors of the oil company which bears his name. Affairs of the company are gratifying, and drilling operations will begin as soon as the necessary machinery can be got on the land. This land has been pronounced by oil experts to be rich in oil and friends of the company indulge the hope that a good strike may soon be made. Mons. B. Bouliot was in town from his ranch at Buena Park on Monday. Mons. Bouliot looks for an interesting campaign this fall. He is against trusts, and is anti-imperialist and anti-expansionist and is for Bryan. Bully for Mouliot, but we think McKinley has a cinch. Secretary George W. Reid of the Chamber of Commerce spoke for a few minutes on the community advertising and building now being canvassed and which has already been approved by the Retail Merchants Association and the Chamber of Commerce. President Chas. Mann spoke in favor of the Boy Scout drive now in progress, soliciting aid of the members in behalf of the boys. Mr. Hartranft was introduced by Vice-President Curtis Case. The attendance prize went to Wm. Falkenstein. Earl C. Dutton, local avocado grower was elected president of the California Avocado Growers Association at its recent annual meeting in Los Angeles. WASHINGTON — Slow-spoken Congressman Graham Barden of North Carolina, new chairman of the House Labor and Education committee, will wait for the right moment and then push his federal-aid-to-education bill—without aid to parochial schools. Barden, a former schoolteacher, is a strong believer in aid-to-schools, but incurred the wrath of Cardinal Spellman last year when he took a strong stand for continued separation of church and state. Since then, the late Congressman Lesinski of Michigan was able to bottle the education bill inside his Labor and Education committee. But with Lesinski's death, however, Barden probably will be able to report the bill out in the form he wants it. But whether he will be able to get it would make a wonderful ber of the U.S. Senate" he knew Allison very well. Since then it has developed Truman couldn't have known lion very well, because he picked candidate has been most of the things Trump for. As a Missouri senator opposed equal education Negroes, favored throwing construction back into tried to steal the government from Forrest Donnell, not tor; and favored heavy rates on small loans. As a result of Truman's ing into Missouri politics and more support is developed young ex-Congressman Tom Nings of St. Louis.

ASK DAMAGES Two damage claims aggre $40,000 are the basis of a court suit on file against Wade Aldridge, whose claimled at Santa Ana blvd., Main st., Santa Ana, last 22 with a car driven by E. Wood, who asks $30,000 injuries. Wythena Edensize senger in Wood's car, sn $10,000. through the House is doubtful. Meanwhile, here are some of the school conditions existing in parts of the nation: In a San Antonio skid row suburb, 3500 children are crowded into two school buildings. Three thousand dothers do not go to school at all, or attend part-time calsses. Some schools in Northern Virginia are so overcrowded, students are taught in two and three "shifts" per day. More than 400,000 children in Oklahoma are schooled in inadequate or unsanitary buildings, including firetraps. At Midwest City, Okla., about 550 children are being taught in a frame firetrap less than 100 yards from an Air Force jet plane runway. If a plane crashed, it is not pleasant to imagine what would happen to children in a building with no outside doors. Two Connecticut Friends Secretary of State Acheson and able Senator Brien McMahon, both from the state of Connecticut, have a peculiar relationship. Neither is too fond of the other, yet McMahon has been one of Acheson's staunchest defenders. Acheson, who has a peculiar faculty for saying the wrong thing to Senators at the wrong time, was standing in the receiving line of a diplomatic reception, when the Connecticut Senator and his beautiful wife Rosemary approached. As he shook hands, the Secretary of State remarked to his wife: "Alice, here is an ogre whom I would like to knock over the head, accompanied by the most beautiful woman in Washington." Acheson smiled when he said it. Nevertheless, the remark was not particularly appreciated. The personal friction between Acheson and McMahon probably diplomatic reception, when the Connecticut Senator and his beautiful wife Rosemary approached. As he shook hands, the Secretary of State remarked to his wife: "Alice, here is an ogre whom I would like to knock over the head, accompanied by the most beautiful woman in Washington." Acheson smiled when he said it. Nevertheless, the remark was not particularly appreciated. The personal friction between Acheson and McMahon probably dates back to the days when Acheson's father, the Episcopalian Bishop of Connecticut, refused to perform the marriage ceremony for McMahon's close friend and law associate, Homer Cummings, first Attorney General under Roosevelt. Cummings had been divorced, and Bishop Acheson refused to sanction his second marriage. More recently, observers have detected a note of resentment around the State Department at the manner in which McMahon has taken the initiative away from Acheson by expounding some A-1 ideas on breaking through the Iron Curtain. Despite personalities, however, McMahon has continued to be one of the best friends of the State Department on Capitol Hill. Note—McMahon is torn between two advisers—New York Times Correspondent Arthur Krock, who arranged for his historic Truman interview while dining with McMahon; and Columnist Marquis Childs. When the Senator from Connecticut goes liberal, Childs is not averse to claiming credit for it. Missouri Politics Insiders believe that President Fruman's intervention in Missouri politics to pick the next U.S. Senator is going to boomerang as did his intervention in Kansas City against Congressman Roger Slaughter. Out of the clear political blue, Fruman announced at a press conference some time ago that State Senator Emory Allison "would make a wonderful member of the U.S. Senate" and that she knew Allison very well. Since then it has developed that Fruman couldn't have known Allison very well, because his hand-picked candidate has been against most of the things Fruman stood for. As a Missouri Senator, Allison opposed equal education for Negroes, favored throwing road construction back into politics, tried to steal the governorship from Forrest Donnell, now Sena- Thought for a Day By Chester Ferris "A Thought for a Day" is written by Chester Ferris, of Anaheim. Mr. Ferris is a retired Congregational minister, who has served his church in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Rialto. He has been a resident of California since 1905, and has written for a number of magazines and newspapers, "A Thought for a Day" will be a regular feature of the Gazette. ARE WE FRIENDLY IN ANAHEIM? Whether we find a community friendly or not, depends upon the spirit we bring with us. "What kind of people are there here?" a newcomer asks in Asherim. "What kind of folks did you have where you came from?" is replied. "Oh, they were a hard bunch; we didn't like them." "Well that is about what you will meet here!" If you would have friends, you must show yourself friendly," is an old adage coined from experience. When you attend a church dinner with 100 men of different denominations you assume you are among friends. And so you are. But you could come and go and affirm "they are the coldest bunch I ever saw." Well, you enter, and perhaps one or two greet you—a stranger. They do not know you and pass you by. Maybe the man seated next to you will give a greeting, perhaps not. They are not surly, not inhuman. Maybe shy, perhaps poor as he who is unfriendly. No one so rich as he who is possessed of the loving heart. And it can be achieved by appreciating people with the desire to help them, and by word and deed giving oneself to them. Here you are in a service club. Glibly we repeat the motto, "we serve," or "we build," or recount the good deeds of the club to the community. But the visitor comes in. There are the elected handshakers who greet him. He is invited to stand and is applauded. He is officially invited to come again. But does the man seated next to him give friendly talk, or does the member across the table? That is a far better indication of friendly spirit than official recognition. It is strange that so excellent a lot of city leaders do not know how to enjoy making the stranger feel at home by an interested word. On the other hand the visitor may make up for their lack by his own ready question and remark. And a third group have friendliness thrust upon them. Such are the politician, the business man, workers in church or social agencies. "How many a grocer has lost good customers by a grumpy manner." A pleasant bearing sells more goods than the most famous weekly cash bonuses. Friendliness is the stock in trade of the politician. True it should be genuine. If he really likes folks it is a great asset. Years ago, it was my pleasure as a young man to meet President Taft at a gathering of a Yale club. He was no gusher, but his greeting was warm. With a shake of the hand, he paused with each of us individually for personal conversation. As a public leader, he must know and like people and show his genuine friendship. It pays to be friendly, a person or a city. Some people are said to come rather regularly from Long Beach to the Anaheim parks, be- "would make a wonderful member of the U.S. Senate" and that she knew Allison very well. Since then it has developed that Truman couldn't have known Allison very well, because his hand-picked candidate has been against most of the things Truman stood for. As a Missouri Senator, Allison opposed equal education for Negroes, favored throwing road construction back into politics, tried to steal the governorship from Forrest Donnell, now Senator; and favored heavy interest rates on small loans. As a result of Truman's reaching into Missouri politics, more and more support is developing for young ex-Congressman Tom Hennings of St. Louis. Note—Insiders say that it was Jim Pendergast, not Truman, who actually picked Allison for the senate. Merry-Go-Round For the first time in history, labor will soon be represented on the Interstate Commerce Commission. Ray McKeough of Chicago, former CIO executive and member of the now reorganized Hartime commission, will be transferred to the ICC... Senators are slowpokes in reading the much-sought State Department royalty files. Of the 81 files, cydings of Maryland and McFahon of Connecticut have read about 30, Green of Rhode Island, 20; Lodge of Massachusetts, 12; and Hickenlooper of Iowa, who was loudest for the files, has read only four. ASK DAMAGES Two damage claims aggregating $40,000 are the basis of a superior suit on file against Ethan Trade Aldridge, whose car collided at Santa Ana blvd., and N. Main st., Santa Ana, last March 2 with a car driven by Bedford Wood, who asks $30,000 for injuries. Wythena Edensizer, passenger in Wood's car, sued for $10,000. When you attend a church dinner with 100 men of different denominations you assume you are among friends. And so you are. But you could come and go and affirm "they are the coldest bunch I ever saw." Well, you enter, and perhaps one or two greet you—a stranger. They do not know you and pass you by. Maybe the man seated next to you will give a greeting, perhaps not. They are not surly, not inhuman. Maybe shy, perhaps a bit indifferent. Their speaker expatiates enthusiastically on some phase of the gospel of love and he is roundly applauded. But such a thing as a little bit of friendship for the stranger beside them is not grasped. What an opportunity to express the very rudiments of friendly interest, and it is passed by. Fact is, some people are born friendly, some achieve friendliness, and others have friendliness thrust upon them. You are born affectionate, trustful, sympathetic, and in the early years that is fostered. So by nature you are friendly. Quickly you respond to the smiles and tears of others. Even more, interested in people, you find a way into their hearts. How fortunate you are! Therein lies happiness. Or by temperament, reserved and self-contained, you are slow to show your feelings. You are estimated to be cold and indifferent, and with what measure you mete, it is measured to you, and people are inclined to let you alone. Then you awake to the fact of your shortcomings, that folks crave friendship and in a measure are worthy of it. They need you and you need them. As you stand beside a building in construction, a workman suddenly broadly smiles. Why? Because he caught a pleasant expression on your face. Or you are loitering on the street. An utter stranger stops to say: "I surely like your smile" . . . No one so Years ago, it was my pleasure as a young man to meet President Taft at a gathering of a Yale club. He was no gusher, but his greeting was warm. With a shake of the hand, he paused with each of us individually for personal conversation. As a public leader, he must know and like people and show his genuine friendship. It pays to be friendly, a person or a city. Some people are said to come rather regularly from Long Beach to the Anaheim parks, because as they say, they find the groups of players to be friendly. More important perhaps, it greatly enriches oneself. Every one, however plain or even irritating is well worth knowing. What is so interesting and rewarding as a human being? Colony Quips Today Bill Abbott tells about the effect of frozen concentrate on the fresh fruit plants: There is no question about it making changes in the orange picture and that the type of change discussed in this article will be felt more in Florida than it will be here. Much of our larger and unscarred fruit will still move to market fresh (as it does in Florida) if it returns the grower a profit. Under this year's Exchange contract with Minute Maid no provision for the grower's profit is made. But they will not get away with that sort of operation much longer is our prediction. Anyway here is Bill Abbott: All this talk about citrus pros- other such luxuries are a rarity these days. The contrast is most noticeable, of course, in the smaller places. But with an estimated citrus employment of 30,000 persons for most of the year, at least, the change also can be felt in largest distribution centers. At the beginning of March, the employment service reported 10,453 workers were employed in eastern Polk county, leaving out Lakeland and Bartow, and in Highlands county, an estimated third of those throughout the citrus belt. Not The Whole Story The total figure is around 20 per cent below that of last year, but it does not begin to tell the story. If a person works a few hours a month he is counted as being employed with no differentiation as to time. While the number of persons working 20 per cent, the FSES Winter Haven office believes the total payroll is off more than 50 per cent. J. C. Strickland, Florida Citrus Mutual's fresh fruit division manager, estimated that half the state's 350 fresh fruit packing houses had been closed since Christmas. Some planned to re-open briefly to handle a late Valencia crop. Already, chambers of commerce in some towns are beginning to think about ways and means of shifting the emphasis of their economies away from citrus. Murl E. Pace, general manager of the United Growers and Shippers Association, a fresh fruit organization, pointed out that much of the impact of the mushrooming concentrate industry and high fruit price, was falling indirectly. perity and Florida's new millions in the concentrate boom fails to register with the packing house laborer and the Main Street merchants of citrus towns. They haven't seen it. Retail business has been far from what it was last Spring. Take-home pay of citrus workers has been greatly reduced, and many packing plant communities have suffered acutely. According to reports of the Florida State Employment Service many citrus payrolls in Polk and Highland counties are down from 50 to 75 per cent for the season. Jobless Pay Used Up Under this drastic reduction, the worst is yet to come. Unemployment compensation, based on payrolls, long since has been used, and there will be none this Summer as in the past to carry workers through the off-season. An idea of the impact on the economy of the West Coast may be obtained from talking to any store owner at Winter Garden, Tavares, Winter Haven, Frost-proof, Lakeland, Bartow or any other town where citrus is a large economic factor. Payroll checks that should be fluttering in for Summer finery, used cars and open briefly to handle a late valencia crop. Already, chambers of commerce in some towns are beginning to think about ways and means of shifting the emphasis of their economies away from citrus. Muri E. Pace, general manager of the United Growers and Shippers Association, pointed out that much of the impact of the mushrooming concentrate industry and high fruit price, was falling indirectly on many allied interests. Others Lose Business He mentioned telegraph and telephone volume which was considerable business under normal fresh fruit marketing and now is gone. Since concentrate takes only one seventeenth of the freight space as fresh fruit and most of it is being hauled by truck, local railroad, icing and other payrolls are greatly reduced. The crate business is hard hit along with manufacturers and dealers in other packing house equipment. "Community profits on fresh fruit shipments used to run above 25 cents a box," Place said. "All that is gone to the extent that concentrate replaces fresh fruit." Many packing house owners are wondering what to do with their idle houses and machinery. The Winter Garden Citrus Growers Co-operative tried to solve its problem by building a concentrate plant which cost more than $750,-000. Although its output has been sold three years ahead, its members are admittedly not happy about their situation. Fertilizer men and other suppliers are becoming concerned as local customers decrease and grove properties are being funneled into fewer hands which bypass retail levels.
