YOU CAN HELP TO KEEP IT SO New Anaheim Firm Products to Enhance One thing grandmother didn't have on her wood or coal range that is taken for granted by housewives of today is thermostatic control of oven heat. She didn't enjoy automatically controlled hot water washing machines that automatically mix hot and cold water to obtain the correct temperature for clothes laundering. coffee pots that control coffee making from start to finish, or a dozen other items either, that modern housewives refuse to do without today. All of this modern convenience based on heat control began in 1896 when F. W. Robertshaw developed a thermostat to control heat for water storage heaters. Fight years later W. M. Fulton invented the Sylphon bellows and, to quote the motto of Robertshaw-Fulton Controls Co., "Everything's Under Control," from then on.

Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER WEATHERWISE—Last week's storm brought death to four counties; Wade Knowalter, 35-year-old bargemaster, died in the cabin of his 150-foot fishing barge off Huntington Beach; Paul Alexander, 38, of Anaheim, was drowned when the skiff he was bringing ashore capsized; and Melvin H. Witt, 40, and his ten-year-old son, Michael, died as a result of a fishing trip to San Jacinto mountains. The Orange rancher died of a heart attack and his son died of exposure. NEWS-HILITES—A suspected war criminal wanted for thousands of torture deaths in Yugoslavia during the Nazi regime is living at Surfside. He is Andre Artukovich, a $100-a-week bookkeeper, who is said to have been Minister of Justice, Minister of Interior and president of the state council of Croatia during the reign of Adolf Hitler. The death of Loftus (Gov.) Loudon, 60, prominent Anaheim c.v.c leader, came as a distinct shock to the community. Permits for 235 dwellings issued to Gordon Branch, Hollywood developer,Sam La Haqa building permits to a record high for the month. Oil in Anaheim's Major Role in Deviation Industrial development of Anaheim and its environs was painfully slow. Though oil was noted in the Brea hills as early as 1769 nothing was done about the Black Bonanza until the Gay Minotie when the Olinda hills began to bristle with derricks and yellowing gas engines. One of Anaheim's figures Max von Sirtle for in the German Revolution in 1848 actually drilled for oil in the Brea area in 1867. This venture was doomed as were so many of his other enterprising ventures. When it is considered that "Colonel", Edwin L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor, drilled the first oil well in Titusville, Pa. in 1859, the Anaheimer's initiative takes on added significance. Had it not been for his financial reverses that forced the abandonment of his oil venture in Brea, von Stroble's name might today be listed among the greatest industrialists and benefactors of mankind. Oil Comes In Almost simultaneous with the development of the Olinda fields, oil was found in Brea where the Anaheim Plant Soon to be added to the list of Robertshaw-Fulton divisions is the plant now under construction at Manchester blvd., and Euelid ave., which, according to company officials, will probably be devoted to defense production for the Federal government before it is used in the manufacture of Robertshaw products for domestic use. Acquisition of the Robertshaw-Fulton Co., as an addition to the growing family of Anaheim industries marks a banner achievement for the forces within the city who have been attempting to augment the area's agrarian economy with the more stable support of industrial activity. Physically, the new factory rates as ideal, since it will carry on manufacturing processes requiring cleanliness both inside and out and since the company has drawn plans for a plant that will be ornamental as well as economically desirable. T. T. Arden, Robertshaw vice-president, has stated that the plant will ultimately employ in the neighborhood of 2000 persons. Those employees and their families will live in Anaheim or in the near vicinity with an inevitable beneficial effect on the whole city, which, will, in turn, benefit them. Anaheimers Get Recognition at Santa Ana JC The 31 students who have enrolled this year at Santa Ana college from Anaheim are indeed an outstanding young group of which the faculty at this institution is justifiably proud, according to officials at the college. The academic standing of any group is one yardstick of its value in the building of a respected college. For many years, Anaheim students have shown top scholastic ability. The combined record of Bridgeport Thermostat Division, Bridgeport, Conn., provides additional facilities for the manufacture of products in which the metal bellows is the basic element.

Vetterli, former AUHS instructor, was free on $10,000 bond. The 41-year-old El Camino jaysee teacher is charged with perjury as a result of a federal spy ring probe in 1949. Although work on the Citrus Growers, Inc., labor camp continues, Mel Thlehaut is still fighting to jave the camp abolished... Kwikset Locks observed it sixth anniversary... Col. Lawrence H. McCulley, USMC, formally took over the command of the Helicopter facility... A move to save Orange county taxpayers $40,000 annually would consolidate the justice courts of Orange county. Under the setup which goes into effect in 1952, the 11 courts would be consolidated into two: Santa Ana, Orange and Tustin townships would make up one, while the Anaheim, Fulerton and Brea townships would comprise the other. THIRTY-EIGHT—Sgt. Edward P. Gilbert's name was listed as Orange county's 38th traffic fatality of the year. The 26-year-old Marine was killed instantly in an accident near Tustin. SPORTSWEEK—Although Bill Cook's AUHS netters upended Santa Ana, 6-3 in Sunset league Had it not been for his financial reverses that forced the abandonment of his oil venture in Brea, von Stroble's name might today be listed among the greatest industrialists and benefactors of mankind. Oil Comes In Almost simultaneous with the development of the Olinda fields, oil was found in Brea where the colorful Anaheim major had to give up his venture almost 30 years before. Anaheim's growth can be partially attributed to the oil industry. Though only one productive well has been sunk here, Anaheim is virtually in the heart of the rich Orange county oil producing area. Oilworkers have resided here since production began in Olinda and spread to Brea, Fullerton and the Coyote Hills just before and after the turn of the century. The Oil Boom actually began after World War I. In 1919, Meyer No. 3, the Santa Fe Springs discovery well, came in at 4596 feet producing 100 barrons. When Anaheim purchased t Juan Pacifici The academic standing of any group is one yardstick of its value in the building of a respected college. For many years, Anaheim students have shown top scholastic ability. The combined record of students from this area for the school years 1949 through 1951 reveals that they have obtained approximately a "B" average, a feat which compares favorably with any other group of young people at Santa Ana college. The outstanding students for the current school year (1950-51) named to membership in Alpha Gamma Sigma, the college scholarship society, are: Dean Gautschy, Dan Eldelson, John J. Westerhold and Doris Milbrat. In school spirit and in extra-class activities the Anaheim students at Santa Ana college have proven to be a real asset. These college enrollees can be found in all campus activities and functions. Last year Paula Doretti, Pricilla Orman and Patty Evans, all from Anaheim, were the three head song leaders for the Santa Ana Dons. Carol Reid is an executive officer in the Women's Athletic association and a member of the Piloteers, one of the top honorary service clubs at the college. Herschel Coulter, Orlyn North and Lyle Johnson from Anaheim have been instrumental in winning many prizes and ribbons from the college at county fairs and agricultural contests. In athletics Anaheim students have proven to be the backbone of the Don teams in many sports contests. THIRTY-EIGHT—Sgt. Edward P. Gilbert's name was listed as Orange county's 38th traffic fatality of the year. The 26-year-old Marine was killed instantly in an accident near Tustin. SPORTSWEEK—Although Bill Cook's AUHS netters upended Santa Ana, 6-3 in Sunset league play; the Saints will represent the league in CIF playoffs. Fullerton junior college swimmers dominated the jaysee swimfest as they have for the last 14 years. The Orange Lionettes defeated the Beuna Park Lynx, 5-1, and have a commanding lead in the newly formed girls' softball alignment. The winner of the Fullerton-Santa Ana high school baseball team undoubtedly will represent the Sunset league in the CIF playoffs. STATISTICS — Five blessed events occurred during the week; four Anaheimers died and one marriage license was issued. Paul, Juardo and Pat Ryan became the proud papas of baby daughters. Roy Moss is the father of a son. The Sam Elliott has a new daughter. And Joe Denne has a baby boy. Death took Willia Whisler, 52, who had been an Anaheimer for 30 years. Mrs. Estelle Robinson died in the 72nd year of her life after a brief illness. Paul Alexander and L. H. Loudon were Anaheimers who passed on last week. The marriage license was issued to James Smith and Mildred Remland. And this another week passed into history. NITECAPSULE — After all is said and done, more is said than actually done.

When Anaheim was founded in 1857, the settlers purchased their land from the original owner, Juan Pacifico Ontiveras, for $2 an acre. The home When Anaheim was founded in 1857, the settlers purchased their land from the original owner, Juan Pacifico Ontiveras, for $2 an acre. The home pictured was one of the first in the Anaheim landing area—built entirely of redwood shipped from San Francisco to the little seaport town serving Anaheim. As the colony grew, the need of loans for more building and a method of saving became a necessity. To supply that demand, in 1889 the Savings Loan and Building Association of Anaheim was founded. Today, as then, you can depend on this pioneer firm owned by your neighbors with a background of four decades of safety, experience and friendly service.
