2 Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago August 1577 Mr. Korn was thrown from his buggy yesterday afternoon while exercising his famous stallion. Fortunately he escaped without serious injury. It is reported that Mr. Frank Lecourrer, cashier of the Farmers' and Merchants Bank of Los Angeles, was married a few days ago to Sister Rosanna, a quodam Sister of Charity whose vows had expired. The ceremony took place in San Francisco and the couple then took their departure for a bridal tour to Europe. The bride is said to be very pretty. The attempted robberies of Saturday night created considerable excitement. Many of the citizens have nailed down their windows and all the old fire arms have been polished up and re-loaded. Pierce dogs are in active demand, and good prices are paid for curs of known ferocity. The Presbyterian church members of Westminster hold their monthly festival this evening. A liberal supply of strawberries and ice cream has been provided. R. W. Shaw and Mr. Rightmyer, have been having trouble regarding a land claim which, on Friday culminated in the two exchanging several shots with heavy rifles. Neither party was hurt nor any damage done. 50 Years Ago August 1902 Chester Holcomb has been in town during the week from Indio. He reports the melon crop shipped, 80 carloads having been sent to market, mostly at satisfactory prices. The Indio melons found a competitor in Texas melons in eastern markets, but on the whole the season was profitable notwithstanding the altitudinous freight rates. Mr. Holcomb returned to the desert to prepare for the winter vegetable crops. Bill Hill's heading outfit was pulled through town on Tuesday morning, on the way to La Habra, where harvesting is about to begin. Harris & Falkenstein, the popular merchants, have a 60 piece dinner set to be given free to the lucky holder of a coupon at a drawing to be held on Aug. 5. Every purchaser of a dollar's worth of goods gets a coupon, and the lucky number will be St. Boniface nine won the special game in their best two-of-three series with Zion Lutheran, 11 to 5, last night at the park diamond. In the night the "hustling" but often errant young team from the Cypress Baptist church dropped the White Temple nine, 5 to 3. The first game saw St. Boniface jump to a three to nothing less on singles by Jim Heffern, Jo Cyprien, Larry Kramer and Owen Beckler. Heffern, Cyprien and Jerry Stehly did the scoring Zion came back with three runs in the third inning to tie up a ball game. Floyd Trapp was sacked on a fielder's choice, Dick Hanning walked and Minard Dunne blasted a line drive homerun right centerfield. In the fifth, St. Boniface collected 7 runs as they combined 3 hits, 5 free passes, and a couple of errors. They never were headed as they added an instance run in the sixth inning. Henning collected two hits to lose the Zion Lutheran men at the plate. The Cypress nine dropped to White Temple team, 5 to 3, in controversial game in which the "Templemen" protested the game in the fifth inning. Jim Wright Cypress hurler, struck out 12 and gave up only two hits in winning this third game of the series. Cypress will meet the EU. Proper Choice of Tools, Plants And Landscaping Cuts Yardwork By JOAN S. WHITE If your yard work is getting to be too much for you right about now, take a leaf from the Landweer’s book. Their home site at 13031 Country Lane measures two-thirds of an acre. It is beautifully landscaped and easy to keep that way. Their secrets are long range planning and planting, good ground covers, the almost exclusive use of hardy perennials, and labor saving gardening tools. Ranch Type Redwood At first glance, the big ranch-type redwood house with its natural finish and white trim seems to nestle among the foundation rijubbery as though it had always been there. A broad expanse of velvety lawn and the riot of color which are geranulms, daisies, roses and flowering bushes substantiate this idea. Closer inspection reveals newly planted trees beside the few towering old walnut trees to give the first inkling that this landscape project was started a scant three years ago when the house was first completed. Our first thought,” says Phyllis Landweer, busy mother of four lively grade school youngsters, “was to do something quickly to keep the sandy soil from tracking into the house.” At the front of the house, this was accomplished by laying a front veranda of red brick in a sand base. This can be quickly morning, on the way to La Habra, where harvesting is about to begin. Harris & Falkenstein, the popular merchants, have a 60 piece dinner set to be given free to the lucky holder of a coupon at a drawing to be held on Aug. 5. Every purchaser of a dollar’s worth of goods gets a coupon, and the lucky number will be determined at the drawing. This took a little time since it required a total of 156 blocks made at the rate of two per day in home-made forms. The finished product, however, requires no further upkeep and serves its purpose nicely. Five thousand square feet of lawn was planted next, and this is kept within bounds by boypower and an electric mower. Graceful Curved Lines Four hundred feet of solid redwood fence, five foot high, protects the backyard while a low rail fence serves to define the front yard. The finish on house and fences was sprayed on and promises not to deteriorate as quickly as paint, another angle to be considered when it comes to up-keep. Once the boundaries were fenced, border gardens were planned to beautify the landscape by following graceful curved lines rather than less picturesque angles. These were edged wit’ strips of redwood to keep out encroaching grass. A brick planter box takes the place of the redwood edging along the bedroom wing, raising the flower bed to working level while bringing the roof line down and broadening the horizontal lines of the house. A fragment of vall fence at the front veranda carries out the horizontal lines and gives a bit of privacy from the street. Many Trees Orange county’s football fan will get their favorite dish serve early this year with the Santa Ana Don - Mexico City Poly football game opening the season less than one month away in Santa Ana. It will be the earliest football opener in the county in many years with the Mexico City Pol team scheduled to put on one of their colorful displays of American football against the Dons this night of Sept. 12. The Mexico City game in Santa Ana will precede a return trip to Mexico City by the Dons in December. The Santa Ana team will both open and close the 1955 season with the Politecnico National squad. The Sept. 12 game at the Santa Ana bowl is co-sponsored by the LULAC organization of Orange County and LULAC members already are selling tickets for the “visiting side of the stadium.” Both college officials and LULAC heads are anticipating a full house to see the colorful Mexican team that is annually the biggest power in American style football in Mexico. Our first thought: says Phyllis Landweer, busy mother of four lively grade school youngsters, "was to do something quickly to keep the sandy soil from tracking into the house." At the front of the house, this was accomplished by laying a front veranda of red brick in a sand base. This can be quickly washed with the garden hose and excess water simply disappears into the sand. The members of this resourceful family who designed and built their lovely home almost single-handed, next installed a winding cement driveway to bridge the 75 feet that separates the garage from the road. The driveway was laid in three sections on three different days, using ready-mix cement and lots of elbow grease. Front entrances taken care of, the Landweers moved around back where the childrens' wing has a separate entrance and the living-dining area opens to the out of doors by means of double French doors. A good-sized patio floor was cleverly constructed in a geometric design by the use of thirty-inch square cement blocks separated by eight inch strips of diaphondra. Many Trees The Landweers were attracted to this spacious country lot chiefly because of the many full grown walnut trees on the property. Unfortunately, by the time the house was finished, all but four of the trees had died. These are being replaced by young trees of many kinds. For shade and beauty, a cluster of shaggy native sycamores have been planted near the front door, and a Chinese elm is spreading its umbrella of foliage over part of the patio. A triple row of trees have been planted to ring the arc of grass that reaches toward the uneven back lot line. Twenty-two eucalyptus trees comprise the outer ring as sort of a living screen. A variety of fruit trees come next with six or seven shade trees in the inner arc around the lawn. A ground cover of ivy has been started to keep the weeds down under the trees. "Beaches the trees, we are geranium crazy," Landweers say, and prove it by interspersing evergreen foundation plantings with multi-color geraniums and by using them as a ground cover between lawn and street. "They are the poor man's rose for they produce a continuous mass of color for the least money end attention of anything we know of." St. Boniface, Baptists Score Wins in Playoffs Boniface nine won the crucime in their best two-out-of-five series with Zion Luther to 5, last night at the city diamond. In the night cap bustling" but often erratic, team from the Cypress church dropped the White nine, 5 to 3. First game saw St. Boniface up a three to nothing lead angles by Jim Heffern, John Larry Kramer and Gayckler. Heffern, Cyprien Rerry Stehly did the scoring. Game back with three runs third inning to tie up the time. Floyd Trapp was safe behinder's choice, Dick Henalked and Minard Duncah on a line drive homerun to centerfield. The fifth, St. Boniface col-7 runs as they combined 5 free passes, and a courier errors. They never were as they added an insur-ron in the sixth inning. Gilg collected two hits to lead on Lutheran men at the Cypress nine, dropped the Temple team, 5 to 3, in a serrial game in which the women' protesting the game fifth inning. Jim Wright, hurler, struck out 12 and only two hits in win-ss third game of the seriess will meet the E.U.B. Anaheim Midget Driver Tabbed As Man-to-Beat The two big questions to be answered when the midgets roar again tomorrow night at Veterans Memorial stadium are whether Billy Cantrell, cagey Anaheim driver, can continue his hot win streak and how much lower the speed records can be pushed. Cantrell, the only feature-race winner the track has known, has been wheeling the midgets since the 30's. The veteran driver has won the last two stadium programs and again tomorrow will be wheeling Bill Stropp's white No. 3 car in a bid for his third straight. Hot competition is assured for Cantrell, however, since five men have already bettered his one lap record. The field of 16 for tomorrow's main event on the new clay oval will have to top Cantrell's 13:04:15 set over the 40 laps last week.

Work that required three i can match this record of STANDARD OIL CO LA Angels' Rhubarb Leads to $100 Fine for Hack; $10 Each for Fans By The Associated Press If Stan Hack and his Los Angeles club can stir up as much controversy and enthusiasm in Oakland this week as they did in their series just concluded with Hollywood, baseball is going to get another shot in the arm in the bay area. The Angels were doing all right and making a fine comeback when Hollywood, deep in their worst slump of years, suddenly came to life with a bang, swept five in a row and started a brawl at Wrigley Field in Sunday's first game that still has the fans in Southern California buzzing. Near Riot Hack has been fined $100 by Pacific Coast league president Clarence Rowland for the near-riot that followed his 12-minute rhubarb with Umpire Ed Runge, who ruled that Angel Catcher Les Peden did not tag out Jim Mangan as he slid in with the run that put the Stars in the lead in the 10th inning. Three irate fans, who got into the battling, were fined $10 each for disturbing the peace. But, although Los Angeles to All-Star and Ram Game Friday Will Be on TV Network CHICAGO.

Jim Brideweser, rookie infielder, was signed to a Yankee contract right off the University of Southern California campus. best known coaches, quit yesterday for private business. The naming of Oliver and the resignation of Hickman, who had eight years to go on a 10-year appointment, came as big surprises. Hickman took a public relations job with the General Cigar Co. of New York. He also promised to help Oliver, when time permits, as a consultant and Clarence Rowland for the near-riot that followed his 12-minute rhubarb with Umpire Ed Runge, who ruled that Angel Catcher Les Peden did not tag out Jim Mangan as he slid in with the run that put the Stars in the lead in the 10th inning.

The contest went 11 innings and was won as Artie Wilson singled, Nanny Fernandez sacrificed, Bob Boyd and Walt Judnish singled, and Bob Wilson doubled. Portland's only run came in the second inning as Joe Brovia homered.

If you were to take a sentimental journey back into the mid-twenties by thumbing through a stack of old magazines, you'd find the page below in the Saturday Evening Post issue of July 4, 1925. Remember the square-topped cars of those days... with their flat windshields, wide running boards and big wooden steering wheels? Remember the prices? Things were a lot cheaper than they are now when almost everything you buy is 'way up in price... except gasoline. Actually, gasoline costs almost exactly the same today—aside from taxes—as it did when the beauty above was an exciting new automobile. And it's far better gasoline, too. Two gallons today do the work that required three in 1925. Few industries can match this record of keeping prices down and raising quality. It was made possible by two things: intense competition among oil companies and a steadily increasing efficiency of production. In the last five years alone, Standard Oil Company of California has put more than $644,000,000 into facilities—and another $35,000,000 into technical service and research. This investment helps us make certain that gasoline continues to be one of the best buys in your family budget. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better
