Past Year Has Been Good One for Local Home-Makers — Anaheim Good Family City By JOAN S. WHITE Gazette Home Economist No woman likes to dwell on the fact that she is one year older, yet today's anniversary issue of the Anaheim Gazette is indispensable evidence that another year has hurried by. Aside from adding another birthday, the past year has been a good one for Anaheim home-makers. As noted by each successive issue of the Gazette, Anaheim is no longer a sprawling old fashioned community, content to sleep in the California sun (resting comfortably on past laurels), but is continually emerging as a community with an eye toward the future while making the most of the present and past. Anaheim is fast becoming the home-maker's dream come true and here are some of the reasons why. LUCKY YOUNGSTERS. Like mothers everywhere, we hold our children's welfare first. We take special pride in the high calibre of our public school system. Those who attended open house in Anaheim schools last week were impressed with the modern school buildings, the friendly efficient teachers, and the administration which makes a point of keeping abreast of the times and arranging the curricula accordingly. Since leisure hours are every bit as important in child development as time spent in school, we are fortunate that our youngsters are offered an exceptional opportunity for supervised play under 'Anaheim's Recreational program.

How wonderful to raise a family in a community which offers comfortable "country living" as evidenced by the beautiful trees and lovely gardens, green fields and groves of citrus and at the same time presents the advantages of a metropolis—the fine stores, job opportunities, excellent schools and many cultural facilities. To keep pace with the families that are moving to our community at the rate of about 100 per month, well constructed, attractive houses with every modern convenience are mushrooming on nearly every vacant lot. PEACE AND SECURITY. As more and more large manufacturing concerns are encouraged to open their doors here, both men and women have opportunity for good paying jobs—a fact in itself which helps the home-maker to face the future with a powerful sense of peace and security. New industry and bigger pay checks spur community growth and as Anaheim grows, Mrs. Home-maker is offered a wider range of goods and services in a unique shopping center with advantages not enjoyed by other communities.

The opening of McMahan's no Pasadena Picks Up Tibet Quake In Half Hour By RENNIE TAYLOR Associated Press Science Reporter PASADENA — Half an hour after the earthquake in Tibet, Aug. 15, 1950, one of the greatest ever recorded, the earth's surface in California moved slowly north-eastward about a foot, then back again. A few minutes later, parts of New York City moved similarly, about 10 inches each way. At intervals between these two occurrences the intervening territory moved also. There were several of these movements about five minutes apart, lasting about half an hour. Each succeeding swing was smaller than its predecessor. The same thing happened in other great earthquakes and will continue to happen whenever a major movement occurs in the earth's crust. A long, slow terrestrial shudder follows the earth's surface much like a wave on the ocean, but different from the shock waves felt by humans. It is mostly a sliding, horizontal movement. THE PUSH-PULL force of these quakes produces strains in a considerable area of the earth's skin, which is somewhat flexible. You can illustrate it by putting a finger on your bare arm and pushing or pulling the skin. The greatest skin movement is near the finger but there is movement also a considerable distance away, gradually decreasing. This tremedous movement goes on all the time to some extent but does no harm because it is so big and so slow. Whole buildings, whole cities, whole moun- there is a complete assortment of merchandise to meet every need and it is sold without city sales tax. We women drivers are grateful for the minimum of shopping hazards encountered in getting to the business district and for the free parking lots so conveniently located. The salespeople, our friends and neighbors, are anxious to serve and adjustments can easily be made when necessary. The recent extension of store hours on Friday evenings has proved popular, especially to mothers of small children who can now shop unencumbered between the hours of six and nine p.m., while hubby is "baby sitter," and for folks who work all day and have hitherto been unable to take advantage of leisurely shopping and special sales events—and still have the week-end free. THE INFLUX of shopper this and other community attracted new firms and others to expand. The opening of McMahan's new by the largest independent organization of its kind of Chicago is evident of failure in Anaheim's future growth. Hadley's Bakery has one second unit; the Anaheiming and Loan Association taken over new and more quarters; the Anaheim Transfer company has several thousand square feet of the original plant. Old store new faces, and new shoe dress shops, equipment and home furnishing stores opening new horizons and ing stiff competition. You can illustrate it by putting a finger on your bare arm and pushing or pulling the skin. The greatest skin movement is near the finger but there is movement also a considerable distance away, gradually decreasing. This tremedous movement goes on all the time to some extent but does no harm because it is so big and so slow. Whole buildings, whole cities, whole mountains, even whole states move more or less at the same time. A person cannot detect it because everything around him is moving in the same direction with imperceptible slowness. But there are two instruments now in operation here and two more on Palomar mountain, home of the "Big Eye" which can detect, measure and record this vast slow motion. THEY ARE called strain seismographs. Conceived and designed by Dr. Hugo Benioff of the California Institute of Technology they are being duplicated in other earthquake research centers. The strain seismograph is based on the fact that there is a tiny difference in the amount of this movement between two points a few feet apart. But it is far too small to be detected by any ordinary means. For example a quake in Tibet pushing its force across the Pacific compresses the earth a little while moving it slowly. The big rock upon which California Tech's seismological laboratory is built is shortened a few millionths of an inch because of this (Continued on Page 21) Roses Around Your New Home Just the Thing BY CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Newsfeatures Writer The rose is one flower known, loved and recognized the world over. There's scarcely a flower garden anywhere which doesn't sport at least one rose plant. Roses have definite likes and dislikes, attract a wide variety of pests and require attention and care, but to anyone who has known the pleasure of a June garden of blooming roses, a garden without a rose of some kind is almost unimaginable. THE ROSE family is a large one, and getting larger every year as new varieties are developed. They range from miniature tree bushes, under a foot high, through the bush roses — hybrid trees, floribundas and hybrid perpetuums — to the taller pillar roses, ollamers and ramblers. More than half the roses in American gardens are hybrid teas. They come in a variety of colors from pure whites and palms to deepest reds. The bulbs grow two to three feet in height and, except in the deep south, need protection from winter cold. They like very rich, well-drained soil and resent competition from other plants. If you're going to grow roses, it's best to have a rose bed. Don't try to blend them in with a variety of other plants. Floribunda roses have been rising in popularity lately, particularly for hedging, bredding. Immortality This work of man blazed in all its rich Immortality This work of man blazed in all its rich beauty and then faded. Yet remembrance of it still remains. In like way, those we love take their leave and still live with us in our albums of sweet memories. Enriching these thoughts is the final service, conducted with the dignity and beauty that our experience offers. HILGENFELD MORTUARY 120 E.
