IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 25 Years Ago Lloyd Ross, driver of a high school bus, figured in an accident Tuesday morning, and, as a result was slightly cut about the face and head by broken glass. The accident happened on Lincoln ave., near the Garden Grove rd., at 7:15 o'clock. Ross was driving out to gather up his load of students. Just ahead of him, near the intersection, a car driven by Miss Eva Turley backed out of an orchard into the road. Ross swerved to one side to go around the car. It continued to back up and he edged further over and dropped off the pavement. Before he could jump out, the backing car struck the bus, breaking the windshield and damaging it considerably otherwise. Miss Hurley's car was only slightly damaged, she explained that she was blinded by the rising sun and did not see the bus. 50 Years Ago William Schutte, one of the solid walnut growers of Orange-thorpe was in town yesterday, he reports the walnut crop looking well. Theodore Rimpau suffered a shock of paralysis of the facial nerve some days ago, but is reported improving. Miss Myrtle Staley of Placentia has been the guest of friends in town for the past few days. 75 Years Ago Mr. J. B. Raine, prominent hop-grower of the Swamp, contracted for a lot of Chinamen to pick his hops. He was informed by white laborers that they would pick his hops as cheap as the Chinamen. He agreed providing they would furnish enough men to save his crop, requiring some 60 men, which they agreed to do. They furnished but 30, who worked for a while, when half of them struck for higher wages or quit. This sort of thing will strengthen the demand for Chinese labor. Mr. H. W. Lake of Santa Ana has bought the stock of Paul the furniture dealer. Mr. Lake has built up a prosperous business in the Santa Ana section. Mrs. Theo. Reiser left yesterday morning for a short visit to San Francisco.

CARE packages arriving in the next few weeks, he indicated, will take food and clothing to tide over the winter the desperately hungry and cold war refugees who otherwise may not survive.

The Fairyland was part of Anaheim. Rich-Voegel and Harold Ferguson still remember how they looked forward to seeing a show when they were school boys in centia long long ago. The old whouse faded from its glory which was at its height back when shadows jumped all over the men and the projectionist had tedious job of turning the skak. When was that?

GRAND AVE ANAHEIM 1/4 MILE SOUTH OF KNOTT'S BERRY FARM Phone Orders Accepted Child Threatened by Mysterious Disease; Brother, Sister Stricken MANCHESTER, Ia., Dec. 22 (AP) With two of their three children near death from a rare and mysterious ailment tentatively diagnosed as "pelizeous-merzbachier," Mr. and Mrs. Grant Faust are praying this Christmas season that their third may be spared. Allan Fause, 5, is near death at a Manchester hospital. His sister Marsha, 4, is under sedatives at the modest Faust farm home near Ryan, Ia. Both were healthy, normal children until they reached 3. Then the strange affliction, also known as diffusive leucopencephalopathy, began its progressive destruction of their brain cells. Both are now helpless invalids. Faust, 32, and his 31-year-old wife went to various specialists before doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., decided their children's symptoms resembled "pelizeous-merzbachier." It is a disease having a tendency to attack members of the same family. A research institution had advised Dr. Paul G. Meyer of Manchester that there are fewer than 10 cases of the disease on record for the last 100 years. There is no known treatment or cure. The Fausts have traveled 60,000 miles in their old car in the last year to consult specialists. But they have found no source of hope. Only now has their flight found its way into the news. As gifts flow in, Faust—a World War II veteran and like his wife a former college student—has only this to say: "We are more grateful than we can say, but we want nothing for ourselves. Our one hope is that somewhere there is medical knowledge which can help us. If there is, these gifts will help us get there." Underlying their anxiety over the disease strike him too when he reaches 37. Des Moines, Iowa, leads the cities of the world in the publication of farm journals. ANAHEIM TROCK & TRANSFER CO.
