5 Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1951 ANAHEIM; CALIFORNIA Anaheim Gazette by JOHN S. NEUBAUER ... Blessed are the merciful—Math. 5:7. CALIFORNIANA- The City of Los Angeles was incorporated on April 4, 1850. "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora, La Riena de Los Angeles de Porciuncula" was founded on the orders of Gov. Felipe de Neve on September 4, 1781 on this site so named by Father Juan Crespi on August 2, 1769. QUOTES—"If it weren't for a lot of foolish thinking, Anaheim and Fullerton would be one city." Ernest Moeller, secretary-manager of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, said last week, "Years of petty rivalry has separated the two cities and it's a crying shame." When the Gazetteer first advocated that Anaheim and Fullerton bury the hatchet and consolidate a Fullerton city councilman retorted: "Neubauer, you worry too much about things that don't concern you." "La Palma Park is better than anything they have down in Florida. Too bad a Garey celebrates Fourth Birthday Four years ago a new experiment for Orange county began in the merchandising of furniture. The great experiment began in Anaheim where Albert A. Garey established his first furniture store. That was in 1947. Today, the Garey experiment comprises three stores and a large warehouse from which he distributes furniture and appliances to the stores. "Doing our own warehousing, we can buy at volume prices and refail at correspondingly lower prices, thus passing the savings from our type of operation on to our customers," is the way Garey explains his experiment. Garey's Furniture store at 504 W. Center, Anaheim, was the first unit in the Orange county chain, opened in April, 1947. In 1949 the second store was opened at 509 W. Fourth st., Santa Ana, and the third was opened in September, 1950, in Costa Mesa. Four months later the Costa Mesa store was doubled in size to become the largest furniture store in the harbor area. Just about the time the Santa Ana branch was established, Harry Meyer, a Maine, S. D., salesman and successful farmer, entered the Garey enterprises and is now vice- PRESS AGENTS — Yorba Linda's good-will ambassador, Bob Breckenridge, has new fields to conquer. Val Lucas' righthand man joins Frank Kneble's staff. Incidentally, graduates of the Yorba Linda Star have become outstanding newspapermen. Such Anaheimers as the late Clyde Simmons and Henry Hodges once were connected with that publication.

Their car clipped off a telephone post in Brea. Irwin Allee is one Anaheimer who's pretty well acquainted with Gurman Hoppe. Last week, he met the judge "formally" and learned that haste makes waste—$7's worth. ORCHIDS — S/Sgt. Kenneth Vanderford is an Anaheimer who might pursue hapliness in a much different manner than he is. But he has a job to do. And, he's doing it mightily well. In recognition for her service last week, the Gareys, Al, Estelle and Leroy, 16, live at 118 Mills dr., Anaheim. The Meyer family, Mr. and Mrs. Meyer and their three sons, W. Fourth st., Santa Ana, and the third was opened in September, 1950, in Costa Mesa. Four months later the Costa Mesa store was doubled in size to become the largest furniture store in the harbor area. Just about the time the Santa Ana branch was established, Harry Meyer, a Maine, S. D., salesman and successful farmer, entered the Garey enterprises and is now vice-president of the firm and in charge of the Costa Mesa store. He became interested in the business when Garey sold him a houseful of furniture for his new home at 514 S. Palm st., Anaheim, in 1948. Garey "comes from a furniture family" of Newark, N. J. He went to work in his father's furniture establishment at the age of 12 and has been at it continuously since then except for a hitch in the Army during World War II. His father has been in the business for 50 years and is still active in his store in North Bergen, N. J. During the war, when Garey was an anti-aircraft gunnery instructor at Camp Callan, near San Diego, he made numerous trips through Anaheim to visit relatives in Beverly Hills. He recalls remarking at the time that Anaheim looked like a wonderful prospect, both as a place to live and as a place to sell furniture. After receiving his discharge he came back to Anaheim with the intention of founding the Garey Furniture chain. Before entering the service, Garey became interested in a bookkeeper named Estelle who worked in the same furniture store. Cupid had his way and during Garey's army stretch he married the girl. Today she is his right-hand-woman in the Garey Furniture Co. as office manager. Garey Distributing Co., 7471 St. Spadra, Anaheim, as the warehouse is known, was acquired in December, 1950. Its 14,000 square feet of floor space houses the general offices of the firm, storage for heavy stock and the firm's three trucks.

Van Der Linden Station Opens Today is opening day at the Roy (Van) Van Der Linden Service Station on the northwest corner of North and Los Angeles sts., Anaheim. Van Der Linden, a five-year resident of Anaheim at 626 S. Heleha st., is an old hand at service station operation, having spent 10 years in the business in southwest Los Angeles in partnership with his brother. More recently he was the lubrication specialist for Cone Bros., Chevrolet agency in Anaheim, which he left in January, this year, for a job with Alpha Beta markets. An old back injury interfered with that job, however, so he decided to open his own station. Van Der Linden's wife, Ruth, is a teacher in the Santa Ana Elementary school system. Two daughters, Miriam, 5½ and Susan, 2, complete the family. Van Der Linden says his station will carry Hancock Oil Co., products, including both regular and ethyl gasoline, plus both regular and ethyl in a less popular brand which will compete with self-serve gasolines in price. "There will be a difference, however," Van explained in connection with the cheaper gas. Rose Bowl Pact Again in Trouble CHAMPAIGN (P) — A three-year appearance limitation must remain in any new Rose Bowl football pact between the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast Conferences or the University of Illinois will not support extension of the series. Illinois, the first Western conference school to announce its stand, also wants any projected contract drawn up for only three years instead of five. Dean Robert B. Browne, chairman of the Senate Athletics committee, announced the school's decision yesterday after the group of faculty members had met. Browne said that a measure favored by the Pacific Coast to authorize participation once every two years, instead of three, was rejected.

Wire Shutdowns Clips Ohio Books COLUMBUS, Q., U.P. — Heat from a nationwide crime inquiry crippled race horse bookie operations in many part of Ohio today. Race wire service to at least four Ohio cities—Cleveland, Columbus, Springfield and Dayton—has been cut off to bet takers. Horse book rooms in East Liverpool and Steubenville, two ordinarily busy places for the betting gentry, are closed down. The county grand juries are in session in those towns. In some cities wagering in horse rooms went on apparently undisturbed. Toledo race wire service still is operating. A vice squad spokesman in Columbus even went so far as to say that officials were considering closing down the state capital's one exclusive race information service, Empire news service. Empire news service said today it was operating as usual. A spokesman said it did not serve bookies. The vice squad spokesman said police had checked Empire and had found no bookie clients. In some cases local officials applied the heat; in others the discontinuance of wire service came more mysteriously. In Steubenville, the telephone company merely said that service to one known bookie room had been disconnected. Sheriff Ralph Paul of Columbus 23-year-old Farmer Admits Shooting Four in Ozarks CONWAY (P)—A 23-year-old farm boy admitted pumping a valley of shots through an Ozarks farmhouse window and killing four persons. Sheriff E. I. Cunningham Identified the farmer as Kenneth Essery who lives near the scene of theayings. Essery was arrested early today at his father's home in Conway. The sheriff said Essery verballymitted the shootings to him and Prosecuting Attorney John Osmer. The slayings occurred last night out four miles southeast of here the Ozark hills of Southern Missouri. Four persons responded to call for aid from the farm family also were fired on. One of the bur was wounded. The prosecuting attorney said Essery declined to give a reason or the shootings. Essery was undergoing further questioning. First degree murder charges will be filed against Essery, the prosecutor said. Hosmer quoted the youth as saying he always "got along" with the Shockleys. He said Essery appeared quite calm, refusing under questioning to give any motive. The dead were William Shockley, 43; his wife, Clara, 44; their daughter, Helen, 16 and Shockley's mother, Mrs. Gus Shockley, 73. Six other Shockley children ranging in age from 10 months to 14 years were asleep in upstairs rooms. Awakened by the shots and screams, 10-year-old Mary Ellen Schokley ran downstairs and called a neighbor for help that when the neighbor, Luke O'Connor, and his wife drove into the farm yard in their pickup truck, 11 or 12 shots were fired at them. O'Connor suffered an arm wound. The car's windshield was shattered, cutting Mrs. O'Connor on the face. The O'Connors sped to Conway to report the shooting. A short time later two of Shockley's brothers arrived at the farm and entered the house. They, too, were fired on but both escaped injury. The vice squad spokesman said police had checked Empire and had found no bookie clients. In some cases local officials applied the heat; in others the discontinuance of wire service came more mysteriously. In Steubenville, the telephone company merely said that service to one known bookie room had been disconnected. Sheriff Ralph Paul of Columbus said there were no bookie joints in the Columbus area but said they were outside the city. Persons who know what goes on in the betting world said the biggest gambling house in Central Ohio closed after the New York hearings of the Kefauver committee. We're just waiting for the heat to go off," said one employee. In Columbus bookies still reported they were operating. They were allowing only persons well-known to them inside their rooms. This meant an average of 10 to 12 an afternoon. Cincinnati reported many handbook operators are laying off during the current heat wave. Bookies in suburban Norwood and Elimwood, as well as metropolitan Cincinnati, say they just aren't taking bets. But they aren't saying the shutdown is because of lack of race results on the wires. County Pay Raise To Be Considered Whether county employees shall get a general cost-of-living wage increase, as requested, will be a question before the county supervisors at a special meeting Thursday afternoon. The question failed to come before the board Tuesday because County Personnel Officer David M. Goodman did not yet have his data on prevailing wage schedules in private industry and revised wage schedules ready to present to the supervisors. Phases of the question to be decided, in addition to the decision whether there shall be any wage hike, is whether it shall be a general 10-per cent increase, or $25 per month "across the board" or, as Goodman favors, a readjustment based upon prevailing wages in private industry. CCNY to Return To Own Gymnastium NEW YORK (UP)—City College New York apparently is through with big time basketball. Dr. Harry N. Wright, president of CCNY, announced yesterday he would recommend "to the board higher education we should discontinue all basketball activities in Madison Square Garden." Thus, the school that gained national acclaim only a year ago by winning both the NIT and NCAA tournaments, then saw seven of its star players arrested in the fixed games scandal, seemingly joined the back-to-the-campus movement.

COMIC BACK IN YUGOSLAVIA BELGRADE UP—For the first time since the war, an American comic strip (Donald Duck) has appeared in a Yugoslav news-saper. It is running in the "Sunday Information," a new weekly started this year. In prewar Yugoslavia American comic strips were very popular and were published in many daily and weekly papers. During the German occupation they were out out. And they stayed out after the Liberation and founding of Marshal Tito's Communist government until this lone entry.
