"CARE has made it possible for Americans to send at the holiday time, these special Christmas gift packages to their friends and relatives abroad," Mr. Thomason said. "Senders may designate the recipients of the packages. For those who wish to help some needy family abroad, but have no names, CARE will send the parcel in the donor's name. Contributions in any amount are accepted by CARE. CARE packages take no ration stamps from persons in food-rationed areas." Farm. Center Meeting Set Anaheim Farm Bureau center will hold its regular dinner meeting at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in Anaheim Union High school cafeteria.

Coffee, cream and sugar will be furnished by the center as we as the entree. Members are asked to bring either a hot vegetable salad or dessert and their own table service. A door prize, courtesy of Swanberger's, will be awarded. Who really owns Standard? That old bogeyman—the Tycoon of Big Business—seems still to linger in the minds of some people. Whether or not this was ever a true picture, it is certainly false today. Standard Oil Company of California, for instance, is widely held, independent. It has its own management and shareholders. It is not connected with any of the Standard companies in the East. The actual owners of Standard Oil Company of California now number 115,942—which is 17,000 more than just two years ago. They include 283 universities and other educational institutions; 236 churches and religious organizations; 1825 small and large businesses; 159 hospitals and other medical groups; 10,676 employees of the Company, and 102,563 other individual citizens, few of whom could be called rich. The great number of our shareholders are people like your own friends and neighbors—yourself, perhaps—mechanics, clerks, farmers, white-collar men, widows, men and women who have retired. In another sense, of course, the "owners" of the Company are our customers, who, in effect, control it and receive its benefits. You control Standard by your choice of brands. You benefit by the quality and economy of the products we sell. The only way we can look after the interests of our shareholders is by making sure that Standard serves you well. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better 6 Anaheim Gazette MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1822 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Anaheim Gazette by JOHN S. NEUBAUER Owe no man anything—Rom. 7:8. HISTORICAL—The founding fathers of Anaheim—the 50 enterprising German artisans who comprised the Los Angeles Vineyard Co.—were unique as they built a school, even before they built a church. The original shareholders reserved 40 acres in the center of their colony for a school. The building was made of adobe, but it had to be abandoned after the serious floods of the winter of 1861-62 that made the building unsafe. The floodwaters undermined the school's foundations. The Water Company permitted the community to use a room adjacent to a stable. This was unsatisfactory, as the children were distracted by the horses, odors and files. School was held under these adverse conditions until a new building was erected in 1869. PROSPEROUS—Anaheim was a prosperous community and soon outgrew its classroom space and J. M. Quinn, superintendent of the Anaheim schools, came up with a plan which provided for bond issues for school purposes. CONTRIBUTION—This act of the California legislature in 1878 authorized a school district to incorporate and to issue bonds for school buildings. The first time that bond issued to build schools was here in Anaheim. Prof. Quinn—for eight years Anaheimer—was the man responsible for the tremendous and general excellence of the nia schools through his behalf of Anaheim school. In 1881, the Anaheim master became superintendent of Los Angeles county school his headquarters in Los A. As he had built a strong dation for Anaheim school Quinn continued his out administrative work as tendent of Los Angeles schools. His accomplishments were the more remarkable, because work was directed at a time Southern California — Los les county (of which county was a part) was exp ing a boom).

But many children of our neighbors, right here in our town, have little reason to laugh. There's nothing happy about a family crack-up, or haunting sickness, or having no home. These children need you. Your money, through our Red Feather, can give them the love, the care, the guidance, the protection they want so badly. Will you help? Give enough to the Red Feather to feel good . . . and to help others feel good, too. UNITED RED FEATHER THIS ADVERTISEMENT DONATED BY THE GAZETTE A The first time that bonds were issued to build schools was right here in Anaheim. Prof. Quinn—for eight years an anaheimer—was the man responsible for the tremendous growth and general excellence of California schools through his work in half of Anaheim schools. In 1881, the Anaheim schoolmaster became superintendent of Los Angeles county schools with its headquarters in Los Angeles. As he had built a strong foundation for Anaheim schools, Prof. Quinn continued his outstanding administrative work as superintendent of Los Angeles county schools. His accomplishments were all more remarkable, because his work was directed at a time when southern California — Los Angeles county (of which Orange County was a part) was experiencing a boom). PROGRESS — Then as now, anaheim schools were progressive and understanding of the need of the community's youth.
