MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager What led to statehood...? Yesterday this column carried some of the newspaper comment when California became a state, accepted the news 100 years ago when california became a state. It was a tremendous event and caused great excitement and rejoicing. But, we think it would be interesting to present a chronological account of what went before—what were the events which led California to Amercan statehood one century ago? So, here are a few historical items in California's pre-state history: September 28 1542—Juan Cabrillo, a Portuguese navigator, sailed the San Salvador and the Victoria into what is now San Diego bay to discover California. June 15, 1579 — Sir Francis divided California into Upper and Lower California and made Monterey the northern capital. March 26, 1825—California became territory of the new Republic of Mexico. September 10, 1812—Fort Ross founded by Russians moving down from Alaska. May 23, 1835 — Decree issued raising the status of the Pueblo of Los Angeles to a city. September 1, 1840—Capt. John A. Sutter authorized to establish a fort on the site of Sacramento. January 1, 1842—Russians abandoned Fort Ross and withdraw to the north. May 13, 1846—U. S.-Mexican War began. June 14, 1846—Bear flag raised at Sonoma in protest against Mex- IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The county board of examination which has been in session since last Thursday morning, adjourned late on Saturday night. They had 22 applicants for teachers certificates before them for examination and granted certificates to the following named candidates, viz: Mrs. A. J. Chase, Mrs. Hannah E. Walker, Alanson Wheeler, J. E. S. Bell, D. W. Burrett, Miss Elida Hale, Miss Jennie Clapp, Miss Rena Howard, Miss Emma K. Means, Miss Isabel Squires, Miss Lizzie Burkle, Wesley Williams, J. W. Burke and Joseph Smith. Thomas Cureton of Mendocino county killed a grizzly bear a few days ago which had been making riding his bicycle in Mr. Rust's yard on Friday afternoon, Bonkosky sustained a dislocation of his right elbow and thumb. The colt fell but Bonkosky managed to keep from under it. He carries his arm in a sling as a result of the mishap. Oscar Renner, who for the past six years has been employed in Federman's dry goods store left yesterday for Los Angeles to enter business college. He will study bookkeeping. 25 Years Ago Scores of Newport Beach fishermen are restlessly awaiting the season's run of yellowtail. WASHINGTON — Secret State Dean Acheson told a secret meeting of House and state Foreign Relations committee the other day that he expect Russia to make any moves in Europe in the next nature, despite our announced for reinforcing Europe with and men. But Acheson warned that armament must be hard captiously—and with the cooperation of the United Nations—to prevent incidents might lead to all-out war. One of the toughest problems the U.N. faces, Acheson rep is bringing Western Germany the program. The German police said were overwhelmingly posed to an armed police force their own unless it is part "well-integrated" task force Atlantic Pact nations. A separate police army, he mitted, would be no match the Soviet military machine East Germany and might invite Russian conquest of Germany. This, Acheson would be very difficult, if not possible, to prevent. At the same time, Acheson said that France probably w oppose making Western many a full-fledged member a mutual defense pact, since would include rebuilding steel and potential war in tries to full capacity. The final decision will be the United Nations General Assembly, Acheson explained, ing that another question decided by the U.N. was owns Formosa?" The Secretary State pointed out that while the Chinese Nationalists and munists claim Formosa for the important thing was to the island "neutral" in the Thomas Cureton of Mendocino county killed a grizzly bear a few days ago which had been making sad havoc with a drove of hogs. The bean weighed 900 pounds and his claws measured four inches in length. He was caught in Alder creek. Frank M. Pixley has been appointed regent of the state university vice Ralston. It is alleged that Mr. Cheeseman had some hogs; that said hogs did wilfully and maliciously trespass upon Mr. Brackett's premises, and it is further alleged that Mr. Brackett attempted to shoot the swinish intruders, and that Mr. Cheeseman threatened his life. Mr. Brackett makes affidavit to that effect, and Mr. Cheeseman likewise to the effect that he didn't. Witnesses are produced to testify pro and con. Hence there is "troubles" at Justice Clark's office today. 50 Years Ago County clerk Beckett is earning his salary by writing the names of voters in the Great Register. There are upwards of 4000 of them and registration will continue until September 20. Billy says this is the toughest job he has struck in a long time and we believe it. W. T. Bonkosky who has been at work fumigating for Mrs. Rust was run over by a colt belonging to a young Mexican Caballera, while Oscar Renner, who for the past six years has been employed in Federman's dry goods store left yesterday for Los Angeles to enter business college. He will study bookkeeping. 25 Years Ago Scores of Newport Beach fishermen are restlessly awaiting the season's run of yellowtail. Already the advance of yellowtail have come. Several of the prize fighting fish have been hooked at the wharf, but none have been successfully landed. The first catch of the season is yet to be made. Havoc has been wrought in the outfits by the yellowtail that have escaped. In their fighting the colored fins have snapped and tangled lines. Veteran fishermen say that a big school of the fish will be in some time early in September. Preparations are being made to hook some of the prize yellowtail with special outfits when the cry "They're running," goes out. Fishing in other lines continues active, it is reported. Last week one of the most exceptional catches of years was made here, when a 24-pound tuna was landed from the pier. Halibut have been caught throughout the summer. Lately, big bonita and their cousins the skipjacks have been taken. Oil operations reported to state oil supervisor Bush during the week ending August 22, 1925, show 27 new wells started as compared with 37 started the preceding week. Of the wells reported this week six were in Inglewood, one in Huntington Beach, two in Long Beach, 13 in Kern, one in Los Angeles county, two in Coalings. The total new wells this year is 921 compared with 990 at the same date last year.

But Acheson warned that renament must be handled fatiously—and with the full operation of the United Nations—to prevent incidents that might lead to all-out war. One of the toughest problems U.N. faces, Acheson reported, bringing Western Germany into program. The German people, said, were overwhelmingly opposed to an armed police force of own unless it is part of a full-integrated" task force of all antic Pact nations. Separate police army, he added, would be no match for Soviet military machine in Germany and might actually take Russian conquest of all many. This, Acheson warned, could be very difficult, if not impossible, to prevent. At the same time, Acheson said that France probably would pose making Western Germany a full-fledged member of mutual defense pact, since this would include rebuilding its air and potential war industries to full capacity. The final decision will be up to United Nations General Assembly, Acheson explained, adding that another question to be asked by the U.N. was "who is Formosa?" The Secretary of the pointed out that while both Chinese Nationalists and comsists claim Formosa for China, important thing was to keep island "neutral" in the con- Tass agency, has been busy covering the wire-tap hearing. Guess the Russians relish evidence that they are not the only ones who practice police-state methods... For a time, the Economic Control bill was so loaded down with amendments assuring normal profits that it was dubbed "the profit guarantee bill." After Senator Williams of Delaware, who sells feed to Delaware chicken farms, offered a profit-guarantee amendment for chicken raisers, Senator Douglas of Illinois wryly asked: "Who's going to look after the geese, ducks and turkeys?" Supreme Allied Commander Not disclosed in recent news stories about a Supreme Allied commander for Europe is the fact that the Joint Chiefs of Staff have been vigorously opposed to the appointment of an American. Reason for their lack of enthusiasm is simple. If an American is made top commander in Europe, they reason, then Europe will look to the United States to supply the troops for him to command. If there is a French or British supreme commander on the other hand, the United States is under much less obligation to raise a big land army. Original thesis of the North Atlantic Pact was that Europe would supply the men, the United States the weapons. However, it hasn't urged the British to increase their armed forces, only to be reminded that Britain has had universal military training while the United States doesn't. The French also have been urged to increase their army; but the powerful communist bloc in the Chamber of Deputies makes this difficult. Most important factor, however, is that Europe just doesn't want to be another battleground, would almost rather capitulate to Russia than be bombed out again. To prove therefore that the United States does not intend to let Europe do all the fighting, President Truman and the Na- (Editor's note: He back in Korea.

(There is a neat bit of language, hey, what, old boy.) We hope anything said or intimated here will not cause our good friend Mr. Jack Prizer to get out another letter to his growers asking who is backing this column. We have not seen his letter as yet. But we hope to soon and we also hope to have an answer ready. Just what was eating Mr. Prizer is very easy to see—or we should say to read. Right here in this column, too. But the thing still puzzles us somewhat, for the Why should a fresh fruit man want to have anything to say about a plant whose business it is to get money for growers out of "juice" fruit? It is too deep for us. But we will have a lot more to say about it—make no mistake about that. We almost forgot about Paul and his diatribe. This one seemed to us to be a labyrinth of misplaced logic—whatever that means and whatever Paul means. We lack the room to do justice to another one of Paul's paragraphs. That will be the subject of another one of these essays. For today we will confine ourselves to giving him a pat on the back for one of his statements. He said: "There is room for both fresh and processed fruit in our marketing picture." That is at least a start. We add only one comment, which to us, is the most important: When the grower is returned 50 cents a pound, net on the tree, for soluble solids. There is room for no less in this column's marketing picture. No matter what Mr. Prizer says. Hal Boyle (Editor's note: Hall Boyle is back in Korea. He wrote this column, in the form of a letter to his wife, in Tokyo before returning to the battlefronts.) TOKYO, (AP) — A letter to Frances: Well, honey Fanny, as the boys in the Army say "I got it made." I'm here! Darned if I ever thought coming to Tokyo would be a thrill, but right now I would almost be miss most on a battle front—you can't go out and spend money. So we satisfied our pent-up buying hunger by frittering away our yen on all sorts of useless things. I agreed to go with Whitehead only on condition that he walk two paces behind me and not to speak to me while anyone was looking as he had a Korean haircut that made him look like a country cousin mangled by sheep shears. At the end of the day as we leaned back into a cab with our arms full of bundles Don said warily like a middle-aged lady coming home from a department store sale: "Bawl"—you know that Kentucky hillbilly never could pronounce Boyle — "Bawl, shopping just wears me down." Mrs. Whitehead," I said, "It sure does get a body in the legs at that." I told this story at the Press club and now everybody calls poor Don "Mrs. Whitehead" and "grandma." But I don't think I could take this war without old sturdy "grandma." He is still the same old patient tower of kindness and strength. When I started this letter I meant to tell you about unexpectedly taking a bath with some strange Japanese ladies, but I will write you about that later. It is just an old custom here anyway and doesn't mean much. Meanwhile, keep that candle in the window for me. Your loving husband, Harold (Editor's note: Hall Boyle is back in Korea. He wrote this column, in the form of a letter to his wife, in Tokyo before returning to the battlefronts.) TOKYO, (AP) — A letter to Frances: Well, honey Fanny, as the boys in the Army say "I got it made." I'm here! Darned if I ever thought coming to Tokyo would be a thrill, but right now I would almost be willing to vote Japan in as the 49th state. Returning here after more than six weeks in Korea is like stepping from a smelly, muddy ditch into a banquet room at the Waldorf. No fleas in my bed, no nasty war noises overhead, and steak instead of pork luncheon meat for dinner. This isn't Japan. It is really heaven. I hitch-hiked over with Don Whitehead. What should be waiting on the Korean airport as we drove up but Genearl MacArthur's own private four engine plane—the famous "Bataan." Doug wasn't aboard himself, but one of his one-star lads was. He saw us pawing our feet bashfully in the dust and allowed as how he would take us to Tokyo if we wanted to go and didn't mind riding in a beat up old five-star plane. And figuring we might wait a long time until a six-star general's plane came along with a better offer, we bowed to destiny and said yes. The ride was a real treat. The brigadier general—a nice fatherly man named Wright—pointed out a volcano to us and had one of the crew-men bring us a box lunch. We stretched out on seats that must have been warmed at once or another by Doug himself and kept murmurming between mouthfuls: "SO THAT'S WHERE YA BEEN HIDING YA PACKAGES FROM HOME!" SHAPE CAMPAIGN—Serving to call attention to the motion picture industry's "Movies Are Better Than Ever" fall festival, billboards like this will start going up throughout the Southern California area this week. Sponsored by more than 700 movie exhibitors, the festival is serving to cite 70 outstanding films which will be shown between now and January and promising a wide diversity of screen fare with one object—entertainment. Lending "assistance" to the campaign are these lovely young ladies, who "figured" in putting up the new posters.
