RELICS DISCOVERED—Mrs. Mary Weber, 77, of 7231 Katella ave., Stanton, holds one of two parts of very old San Francisco newspaper discovered in frame which held the etching shown on the table. The news-paper fragment contained an excerpt from the Anaheim Gazette on Pampas plume culture here, possibly before the turn of the century.

Unfor Pioneer Orange Countian Unearths Local History Pre-1900 Paper Tells of Pampas Plume Industry By LEONARD KREIDT Familiar things often turn up in unexpected places. A phone call to the Gazette yesterday promised a small item, but it grew in importance until now, it should be an interesting bit. Mrs. Mary Weber, 7231 Katella ave., Stanton, received a framed etching from a neighbor sometime ago and only recently took the carved oak frame apart to insert a different picture. She found she had two etchings, not one, and between the two were two yellow-edged, tattered portions of a San Francisco newspaper. On one piece is the story that moved Mrs. Weber to call the Gazette—a short reprint of an article from the Anaheim Gazette telling of the ten acres of land planted to Pampas plumes by Max Nebelung on his ranch "a couple of miles north of town." Pampas plumes are large, snowy white, feathery articles used, as the article pointed out "for purely ornamental purposes, and great quantities are shipped to the east and Europe, where they are worked into large bouquets." Agricultural Emphasis The story also pointed out that Nebelung had several acres "set to peanuts, which are coming on splendidly, and from which he expects a yield in the neighborhood of 5000 pounds." Virtually all of the articles played near the Gazette-extract concerned agricultural activities and were taken from papers such as the Riverside Press, Pomona Progress, St. Helena Star, Martinez Democrat etc. The classified ad section on one of the scraps was particularly interesting. Witness the following ad under classification "Dentists:" "ANY CHILD KNOWS GAS IS DANGEROUS—because it acts only on the brain and heart and stops circulation of the blood, so do all poisons. I will give $500 for any standard medical book that claims gas can be given until sleep is produced by any dentist to any person with absolute safety to the nerves and health. There is not a neighborhood that does not contain some person who has taken the dreaded dental gases with serious if not fatal results. My advice is to take nothing that smothers you to sleep. My secret application, by which I extract any tooth without pain or sleep, has ruined every dentist's practice in California that depends on gas, and they are now squealing. No other dentist but Dr. G. W. Leek of 6 O'Farrell st. can extract your teeth without pain or sleep." 50-Cent Extraction Directly beneath Dr. Leek's statement followed that of Dr. C. A. Perry of 8 Mason st. who would supply you with a full set of teeth for $7 and would extract the old ones for 50 cents painlessly, mind you. In the homes for sale classification and labeled "Special Bargains," appeared the following: "$3000—House, 7 rooms; lot 90 by 217; $500 cash, balance $500 per year." Lead us to it! Included in the editorial comment is a plea for someone to invent a practical milking machine, since the only incentive that would keep a man at a milking job was high pay. Another helpful suggestion was that "If the milker employs a stool with a low projection to support the pail, or perhaps better yet, has a pall with stout ears on the rim to lay on to his knees, the milking can be performed with ease and facility, and full justice can be done to the task." A 1 by 2-inch display advertisement discloses the fact that Liberty's military band, including (count 'em) instrumentalists, play a matinee performance at p.m. at the Orpheum. Unfortunately, all dates on the paper went with the deterioration of the newsprint.

Carney, but the first hotel in Downey, she now being a part of the group of the Norwalk mental hospital Mrs. Carney, according to Mr. Weber, followed her husband California via the Isthmus of Narragua, which she crossed on packsaddle.

Day after day, week after week, he had to wash the petals things instead of looking after the flowers. The final straw can when people began calling him "pot washer" when he was on with his girl. So he rage through the potting shed and broke the stems of 328 prize chrysanthemums valued at 125 pounds—$350—and to make matters worse, he left a note calling his boss a "pig-headed slave driver." He must have gone berserk pleaded his counsel. The Newport juvenile court fined the pot-handler five pounds—$14.

(CNS)—Manufacturing employment in California continued to rise between mid-June and mid-July, increasing by 25,200 during the period. Paul Scharrenberg, director of industrial relations, announced today. He attributed the increase to seasonal expansion in fruit and vegetable canning and continued gains in aircraft, and noted the increase was enough to offset losses due to steel shortages. The manufacturing employment level was 7 percent above a year ago, and 27 percent above July, 1950. Defense industries contributed primarily to the two-year rise, Scharrenberg said.
