Modern Tide of Empire During the past several years Southern California has seen a modern tide of empire move its way. Families by the thousands have poured into the cities and towns of the Southland. This is not a "land boom" or a "gold rush." It is a general migration which is bringing with it economic and sociological blessings—and problems. Anaheim, of course, is in the path of this mass migration. It is impossible for our city to ignore it; but, does Anaheim have a program laid out to cope with the great tide? Who are these new people, what do they want, why do they come? It is not only the most interesting, but the biggest "story" of the decade in Anaheim. Every citizen should know what is going on, what is being done, how Anaheim is reacting to these great changes. The staff of the Anaheim Gazette has prepared a series of articles on this "great story." These articles will explain the forces at work which are helping or hindering Anaheim in its efforts to put the migration to good use, to cope with the growth of population and industry. Everybody in Anaheim should know the facts. So, don’t miss “Anaheim’s 1950 Tide of Empire.” Begins tomorrow in the Anaheim Gazette.

At least 551 persons were killed in accidents. This toll shaded the former Labor Day holiday record of 550 killed a year ago. However, the toll included 381 motor vehicle traffic fatalities—a figure under the 1949 record of 410 and well below the National Safety Council's prediction of 435 highway deaths for the weekend this year.

The bandit took $62 from Wagner. The holdup man then escaped with his woman accomplice. No one has been apprehended for either burglary. Smokeaters Patrol Burned Range State firefighters were patrolling today in the 175-acre area south of Bolero Lookout which was blackened by fire over the storm punctured Labor Day weekend. Lightening touched off the blaze Sunday afternoon in the Irvine Ranch property and the flames ran unchecked for nearly seven hours. They wrought destruction on watershed and range area which State Forest Ranger J. A. Scherman estimated at several hundred dollars. Approximately 150 men answered the call Sunday afternoon, Scherman said. 100 of the smoke-eaters were El Toro Marines. Five state forestry trucks and one U.S. Forestry truck, as well as two bulldozers were hustled to the scene of the fire. Scherman said that rugged country necessitated several types of firefighting tactics. Bulldozers bared strips of ground ahead of the fire in some sectors. In others, pump trucks were used to halt the flames with water barrages. In more inaccessible places, firefightings crews hacked a retaining fire trail with shovels and other tools. Firefighters contained the blaze Sunday night. Yesterday they were engaged in mopping up hotspots throughout the burned area. WHOA, NELLIE!—Ranch boss YMCA campaigners sharpen the September 13.
