IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The Anaheim Literary Society met at the office of Judge Alex Bailey on Thursday evening. The president, Mr. Fred Rimpau, delivered his inaugural address. Mr. Austin declared a piece called "The Nantucket Blipper." A committee consisting of Mrs. P. C. McKenzie, Messrs. Fuller and Wolfe were chosen to decide the merits of the debate, which was: "Resolved: That the quantity of land owned by one person should be limited by law to 1,000 acres." The affirmative was handled by Messrs. Stephenson, Payne and Mengelson, and the negative by Messrs. Gunn, Montgomery and Athearn. The question was decided in the affirmative. A program committee consisting of Messrs. Leonard Beebe and Guinn was appointed to choose the subject for the next debate. Mr. W. W. Edwards and Miss Layling Williams were married in Westminster on Tuesday at the home of Rev. J. A. Van Anda. The young couple went at once to their home on the Raine ranch, near this city. Westminster Items—At last the rains have come! In fact there is so much that farmers are growing that it is so wet they can't plow! Speaking of rain, we have heard a lot about "Westminster Mud." We admit we have had some nasty mud holes that are a disgrace to any community but they who would find 'real mud' should visit Anaheim, paddle along Centre st., stop in front of Look & Leonard's, good in front of Look & Leonard's. find what they are looking for. What a pleasing tribute to our government! By all means let us incorporate at once. 50 Years Ago Tim Carroll returned Saturday from Colorado and adjoining states after several months absence, during which time he has been occupied in erecting beet dumps, which are popular devices for unloading freight in that section. He will return east shortly and look after his business interests there. Prosperity has smiled upon Tim and he will be wearing diamonds yet. William Schwenckert and family return to Anaheim tomorrow from Los Angeles, after an absence of more than a year. They will take up their residence in the old homestead on West street, where a pumping plant and other improvements will be put in. Dr. Lloyd Bailey telegraphs from Mazatlan, Mexico, that reports of bubonic plague prevailing in that city are greatly exaggerated, and that he and his family continue to enjoy the best of health. Samuel Armor of Orange and M. Nisson of Santa Ana were in town on Friday in attendance upon a meeting of the litigation committees of the two water companies. Mrs. B. F. Porter of Orange-thorpe avenue has returned from Anaheim. Anaheim Ikes Souvenirs for Plans are completed for the preparation by Anaheim Ikes on 10,000 redwood souvenirs for Boy Scouts attending the jamboree in July. The distribution of 50,000 of these souvenirs is the project of the California state division of the Izaak Walton league and has been given the hearty approval of the national headquarters of the Boy Scouts, according to Arch Henry. Anaheim.Ikes Opposite Bill for Control of "The future of our ocean fisheries is imperilled by three bills introduced in the California state legislature," warned Arch Henry president of the Anaheim Izaak Walton league, today. These bills, AB 1245, 2854, and 581, would vest authority in the marine research committee the authority to regulate the taking of mackerel, anchovies, and sardines. This committee would be controlled by the commercial fishing interests by the very provisions of the bill," stated Henry. Fisheries Nearly Dead "The past history of the industry is replete with evidence that the commercial interests should not be given the managing control of the fishery. The industry has overextended itself both in boats and processing plants. It has so badly managed itself as to fish itself out of business, in spite of the repeated warnings of scientists over the past 30 years. The 1953 season yielded only 3320 tons of sardines and 9253 tons of mackerel to the com- Westbauer Itemat—At last the raine have came!

The souvenirs, conceived by Anaheim's John O'Kane, will consist of a two-inch redwood cube on which has been affixed a redwood cone. The cube will be branded with the league emblem and a printed summary of the history of the redwoods in California attached. Members of the Anaheim Ikes made plans at the regular board meeting of the group on Thursday night to put on an organizational dinner for the new football chapter of the Izaak Walton league at Covima tonight. The board went on record as opposing senate bill 69 which would give the state highway commission a free hand in the state parks without consulting the park commission. "With such power the commission would try to route an express highway through the scenic redwood forests of the northern California coast highway," Henry explained. "This would mean the complete destruction of many of California's best groves. The board also opposes senate concurrent resolution No. 19 which would open state parks to hunting. This is contrary to the original premise on which the parks were created. The problem is not one of finding new lands to hunt, but more to keep the lands we have from being closed because of faulty hunter-landowner relationships." Clint Flynn, conservation chairman, reported on the slaughter of the wild burro herds by air force personnel by aerial gunnery and the results of the action taken by the local chapter. The Anaheim chapter will be well represented at the national convention of the Izaak Walton league in Grand Rapids, Mich., on June 3, 4 and 5. Three Ikes have signified their intention of attending—Dick Martin, Dick Yater and DePriester. The Anaheim chapter will help each delegate with part of his expenses.

TAYLOR The "Highway" Problem Anyone who believes Governor Warren and the 1953 Legislature are going to solve our "highway" problem has more optimism than information. Certain measures will be taken, of course. Taxes will be increased and more roads will be built. But the problem will remain. It will remain because higher taxes and more roads is not the solution to the "traffic" problem in California. In 1947, when we had something more than 3 million automobiles, Governor Warren said a billion dollars would solve our highway deficiencies. Today, 5 years later, we have more than 5 million cars and are told in excess of 3 billion dollars is needed. Forecasters say the trend will continue until, by 1960, we will have 10 million cars on the road. If we maintain this pattern of more taxes for more roads, by 1960, we will be locked, bumper to bumper, border to border. It is a delusion which brings a correspondingly greater number of automobiles and progressively greater "deficiencies". People Not Highways Essentially, ours is not a "highway" problem at all. It is a problem of "people". And since the great mass of people who create this problem live in or around our two great metropolitan areas, it is there we must look for the solution. During the last 10 years more than 4 million people have taken up residence in California. Most of them have settled in Los Angeles County or the Bay Area. Overnight, suburbs blossom which house thousands. These additions are entirely without public-or mass-transportation. The older localities which are serviced (by nineteenth-century relics) are not much better off, for the creaky street cars are totally inadequate to move the burgeoning population. Of necessity, therefore, our people buy automobiles. Jalopy, hot-rod, or land cruiser—they all have cars. Egypt. They've got to get to work. A modern, adequate, mass-transportation system would cure this situation. Private Enterprise Private business interests, in California, have at hand plans for the mass transportation of these urban people. In spite of the fact that their proposed monorails and subways would cost the taxpayers comparatively little or nothing, they are not warmly received by our officials. The State says it is a "local" problem and what the "locals" say would fill volumes. But it is all talk. If we would unblock the cities' streets by developing a modern, mass-transportation system, the critical urgency for more funds for freeways would ease. We are collecting at today's tax rate all the money we need for highways - outside of cities. Why not give private enterprise a hearing in good faith. And, incidentally, the taxpayers a break.
