TOM MARQUIS (Sports Editor) As the new Sports Editor of The Gazette, I plan to give the most complete possible coverage to the sporting scene, both local and national. With the football season about to open, Gazette readers are going to want, and get, lots of football news. But other sports will continue to get the coverage they deserve. PAT TERREBONNE (Society Editor) It's a real pleasure to work at The Gazette. Its given chance to meet some of finest folks in the world. The readers of our newspaper hope to get acquainted with more and more of you through the expanding pages of paper. MARY ROULAND (Bookkeeper) For the past four years it has been my pleasure to be associated with the Anaheim Gazette. I have enjoyed being of service to the people of Anaheim, first as display advertising saleswoman and now as bookkeeper. I have been trained to properly handle this phase of our business and have enjoyed it more and more each day as it began to simplify both in procedure and method. IRENE M. JULIAN (Receptionist) I am happy to have been a part of the "old" Gazette, and privileged in having a part in the growth and expansion of the "new" paper. Having been raised on Printer's ink, I enjoy every aspect of newspaper work, from meeting the public to assisting in the various departments. I am looking forward to resuming my column of personal and little items of human interest, "TATTLE-TALES." R. F.

In my ten years with the Anaheim Gazette, a lot of changes have come about. The paper has progressed from weekly status to daily, increasing the service rendered to the community. Now, through addition of progressive, forward-looking changes, The Gazette will be enabled to further increase the scope of its services. BILL HOFFMAN (Pressman) Anaheim's great post-war expansion has to be met by equal expansion in the businesses that are such a big part of the city. I'm glad that The Gazette, always forward-looking and progressive, has continued to grow with Anaheim. I look forward to many years of service to this community as a member of The Gazette staff. JIM ALLAN (Stereotyper) As The Gazette's oldest employee (16 years), I've watched a lot of changes in Anaheim's oldest newspaper. The latest, and hottest, is the "Buy in Anaheim" campaign which, I figure, will do this town a lot of good by getting those who live in Anaheim to shop here and by proving that our merchants support local organizations. REESE WORDEN (Apprentice Printer) As low man on the totem pole, I'm quite sensitive to the attitude of those who have been here longer and occupy more responsible positions. I can say that the men I work with and for are sympathetic toward the junior who is trying to learn the ropes and they are a great bunch of guys. I like it here. TE ORGANIZATION GREAT NEWSPAPER In occasions re-affirm its faith, revitalize its energies and re-set its goal. That is exactly what is happening at The Anaheim Gazette. You can see it, you can feel it...you can almost touch it. There is a sparkle in the eyes of all old and faithful employees, there is a spring to their step, a ring to their voices. They all know that...each and every one of us at The Gazette...are a part of a great new driving force...building a newspaper to faithfully, humbly and honestly serve our community. THEODORE B. KUCHEL (President) Today's Gazette, while we are very proud of it, simply seeks to do the same job it started out to do in 1870: to tell the continuing story of this section's growth and development and to continue to keep the good will and respect of our friends and neighbors. Anaheim and The Gazette were both founded by plain pioneer people who sought always to be a credit to their God, their town, their country and their fellow man. We are proud of this tradition and humbly seek to carry it on. MRS.

BROWN (Advertising Director) In two short weeks I've "discovered" Anaheim. Certainly it is no discovery to folks who live here that this is a great city with greater possibilities than any other in Southern California, but it was to me! My association with The Gazette gives me the opportunity to join the rest of the community in the development of this city. There is no doubt in my mind as to the brilliant future in store for both The Gazette and Anaheim. ANDY MELLON (Assistant Advertising Manager) I've been at the Anaheim Gazette for two years. It has been two of the most wonderful years of my life. Now starting on my third year, I can see that the last two years will also prove fruitful, because The Gazette is going places. It is hard to tell about it. We've rebuilt our offices. We've bought new equipment. It is not just that... it's something that you can't see, but you sure can feel! RALPH R.

WALDO HUNTER (Linotype Operator) Surely there is no more fascinating job in the world than helping in the production of a daily newspaper, knowing that the work you produce today will provide invaluable historical facts for future generations.

JIM McILWAIN (Office Boy) I'm proud to be working for The Gazette, even as office boy. This is the paper I read for news of the people I know, and I am amazed at the effort the office staff puts out to get in the local news items and pictures. And the office staff is backed up to the hilt by the back-shop, carriers and all. GAZETTE CARRIERS—Here are the boys who bring paper each afternoon, on hot summer days and the wet winter ones.

HENRY KUCHEL (Editor of "Days of Long Ago") The Gazette has been part of Anaheim for the last 82 years and we expect it to be here for the next 82 years. The Kuchel family has owned it for 80 years.

Since then the family has carried on feeling that Anaheim, their home for three generations, is first in their hearts and minds. MAX BESLER (Secretary) The finest, fastest growing newspaper in the finest, fastest growing section of the country. Every day it gets better and the town "ain't seen nothin' yet." While I am not active personally in the paper day by day, certainly I read each issue with interest and watch its daily progress with more than passing approval. The Gazette is on the right road. It has found itself. I am quite certain that the entire city wishes it the very best. H. C. BURKHLIMER (Publisher and General Manager) I have found loyalty to duty by the employees of this newspaper that exceeds anything in my entire newspaper experience. Their deep interest in Anaheim and its local institutions far surpasses the average. Improvements are being made daily and all of us talk over these changes to get the very best ideas possible. It has been a refreshing experience. RALPH R.

DON YOUNG (Circulation Manager) I've watched the circulation of the Anaheim Gazette grow steadily and I look forward to further enlargements in our carrier force to serve the new demands in months and years to come. Our carrier boys and I sincerely appreciate the faithful support our subscribers have given us. We will continue to do our best to serve you with speed and courtesy. JO ADDINGTON (Circulation) As bookkeeper for the circulation department as well as one of the newest members of the Gazette staff, I consider myself fortunate to be working with a group of people who literally "knock themselves out" to publish a newsworthy and dependable newspaper. Each day I am kept busier than a bee recording the 20 or 30 new subscriptions that our carrier boys bring in. JAMES M.
