IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago August 1877 A boat containing three ladies and two gentlemen was capsized near the mouth of Laguna canyon several days ago. The party succeeded in getting to shore without being injured. Mr. Charles A. Gardner, the talented editor of the St. Helena Star, an old resident of Anaheim and former editor of the Gazette is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Assemblyman from Napa county. Mr. Gardner is an able and worthy man and has our best wishes for his success. Tom Thumb's miniature carriage passed through the principal streets of the town yesterday. The juveniles were greatly interested and many of them followed the equipage through the entire route. We had the pleasure last evening of examining the photographic car furnished by the Central Pacific Railroad company for the use of Prof. Watkins, who is now taking views of this section. The car is built expressly for the business, and is complete in all of its appointments: A platform car for the photographic wagon, having a stable attached for the horses, is also connected with it. We understand that Prof. Watkins intends taking views of San Juan Capistrano as well as of this section. 50 Years Ago August 1902 Frank Buther has sold his ranch at Yorba and he's moved with his family to this city to reside.

Plastic Lenses Replace Parts of Human Eyes Lost Through Cataracts By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor CHICAGO (P)—Little plastic lenses are being put into human eyes, replacing eye lenses lost through cataracts. Convicted Commie Ordered Back to Jail in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (P)—Mrs. Oleta O'Connor Yates, convicted communist leader, has until 3:45 p.m. today to return to jail. If she fails to surrender by that time, U. S. Judge William C. Mathes said yesterday, he will issue a bench warrant. Mrs. Yates and other state communist party chieftains appeared before U. S. Judge Dave Ling in Judge Mathes' absence Saturday and appeal bonds of $20,000 each were set. Ten, including Mrs. Yates, were released then when they were able to arrange bail, and the other four were released Tuesday. Judge Mathes ruled yesterday that Mrs. Yates must stay in jail until disposition of an additional charge against her. She was sentenced to one year for contempt of court in addition to the sentences meted out to the 14. All were convicted of conspiracy to teach and advocate violent revolution, and given five years and $10,000 fines. FRESNO (P)—The California Council of Republican women has announced plans to hold its state convention here Dec. 2-4. About 500 women are expected to attend. Dr. Harold Ridley of London, England, reported this new step today to the International College of Surgeons. Cataracts are a cloudiness over the eye lens. They reduce vision, or blind. The eye specialist takes out the clouded lens, and substitutes a little disc of a clear, pure plastic. The lightweight plastic almost floats in the eye, and the patient doesn't feel it there. It is held in place by the iris, which is a muscle, and a membrane in the back of the normal lens. The plastic lens does the same job. There is no distortion of vision; and no need for thick cataract spectacles that magnify highly, Dr. Ridley said. The patient can move his eyes to see things at his side. He can see through the plastic lens as soon as bandages are removed. In three years, Dr. Ridley has done 85 of the lens substitutions, and other doctors elsewhere have done so. Describing 47 of his patients, Dr. Ridley said 13 have normal vision, and 26 others nearly normal vision. Vision is under paf in the other eight. Three persons have plastic lenses in both eyes. Plastic tubes can sometimes substitute for part of the human esophagus or gullet damaged by cancer or other disease, said Dr. Edgar F. Berman of Mt. Sinai Hospital, Baltimore. Strips of tubing four to nine inches long have bridged sections of diseased bullets removed in operations on 30 persons in the last two years, he said. The plastic tube may remain in permanently, or be removed after being surrounded by growth of a tubrous sheath. ING ALPHY A DUNCE and Alphy is given the dunce cap. low everyday prices.

The plane plunged down an embankment breaking off a wing and the tail section, of the $3,500,000 intercontinental bomber. AP PHOTO FIRST FOUR-JET DELTA-WING BOMBER—Here is an official photograph of the new British Avro - A698 — the world's first four-jet delta-wing bomber—in flight. Security restrictions on the plane were recently lifted when the craft made its maid-en flight at Woodford Airdrome, Cheshire, Eng. The bomber has a speed approaching that of sound and can carry a large bomb load. It can fly at altitudes which will keep it clear of most ground and air defenses. County Politicos of Yesteryear Enjoyed Their Partisan Politics By GEORGE E. HART Celebration of Dr. Ruggles A. Cushman's 96th birthday in Santa Ana last Monday was something more than evidence of one man's virility and right living. It served as reminder of a lost era—when Dr. Cushman, the grand old man of Orange county politics as well as medicine, was "Mr. Republican," and ran with as lively a crew of political hell raisers as you could imagine. Politics was fun for that crowd, which crossed party lines without ever seeing them, and always favored bipartisan jollity when they gathered for their "rump convention." Who knows? Maybe that merging of Republican and Democrats in the organization blithely known as Pernicious Politicans, Inc., is the reason why Republicans and Democrats still vote alike in Orange county. Any old pretext was good enough for Pernicious Politicians, Inc., to call a rump convention, dine together and exchange amiable insults. The pointed telegrams' that were read in those conventions (after being written there, too) usually represented the year's high point of wit, ridicule and repartee. Impromptu Conventions Let any Orange county man win an appointment to office, or some other recognition, and Pernicious Politicians immediately rushed convention plans and started rigging race with Sam Collins. McKinney's explanation of his defeat was a classic. The late Senator Nelson T. Edwards was guest of honor at another time, marking his appointment to high office. Bill Schumacher, Tom Talbert, Justus Craemer, Willard Smith, Clyde Newton, Charlie Chapman, Tom and Ralph McFadden, Ted and Tommy Kuchel, Ted Craig, Doc Glenn Curtis, and a host more of the Old Guard were always to be found at these shindigs. And Earl Abbey, of course, Abbey was the chief mainspring of bilarity. Still is, for that matter. WANTED BY THE FBI SYDNEY GORDON MARTIN, with aliases: WILLIAM JESSE BISHOP, SID MARTIN, WILLIAM GORDON MARTIN. UNLAWFUL FLIGHT TO AVOID PROSECUTION (ASSAULT WITH A DANGEROUS WEAPON) DESCRIPTION Age, 30, born June 18, 1922, at Longmeadow, Mass.; height, 5'6" to 5'8"; weight, 145 pounds; build, medium; hair, dark brown; earlly eyes, blue; complexion, medium; race, white; nationality, American; occupations, laborer, farmer, cook, dishwasher, pantryman; scars and marks, burn scar on left cheek, 3" scar on palm of left hand; remarks, has nervous habit of running hands through hair, walks with head bowed. On June 1, 1950, Martin walked into a farmyard near Belchertown, Mass., and asked for help in moving his stalled car. The farmer mounted his tractor, but Martin drew a pistol and demanded money. When his benefactor moved to get off the tractor Martin shot him twice and then beat him on the head with a rock. Martin placed the prostrate form on the tractor and drove it into the barn. He then stole $440 from the farmhouse and fled in the farmer's truck, which he abandoned later that evening. The farmer, though badly wounded, recovered. On June 18 Martin was apprehended and incarcerated in the county jail at Northampton, Mass. He escaped on September 4, 1950, by scaling a high barbed wire fence.
