14 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1933 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY EUCHEL 75 Years Ago The publication of the Anaheim Weekly Review has ceased. We learn that the presses and material will be shipped back to the foundry in San Francisco. (The Review was a weekly paper published by Geo. C. Knox and E. F. Cahill. It passed out for lack of patronage. Both Knox and Cahill were very fine editorial writers. The latter was for a number of years later on connected with San Francisco dailies. He also edited the Santa Ana Blade for a short time before it ceased publication.—Ed.) On Wednesday, Assemblyman Ellis introduced an act in the California legislature to legalize the incorporation of the town of Anaheim. It was referred to the committee on corporations. A Sunday school has lately been started in connection with St. Michael's church, and it promises to meet with much success. It is held in the afternoon, beginning at $ o'clock. At $:30 o'clock a short service is held, and at its close an address is again given by the pastor when children are catechised by him. We understand that not only the children, but their friends and the public generally should take part in this service. The children remain afterwards and practice singing. (Rev Trew was rector at this time—Ed.) The petition of the legislature for a new town charter is now in the office of Judge Bailey awaiting signatures of the people. Our and will make Los Angeles their future home. Mr. Cahen is in the wholesale paper business in that city. Mrs. Will Lawrence who has been visiting with friends and relatives in town for two months, departed on Monday for her home in Cochise, Arizona, to join her husband, who is the Southern Pacific agent at that point. Mrs. Gerald Sandilands accompanied her as far as Los Angeles. Charles T. Merritt, a brother of E. B. Merritt, our efficient city clerk, was in town from Chicago last week. Before returning to his home in the Windy City, he invested in a 23 acre improved ranch near Pasadena. Mrs. Chester Holcombe and Miss Dora Zeyn entertained the Miercoles club at their home on N. Los Angeles st. on Wednesday afternoon. The house was tastefully decorated with poinsettias and evergreens. After a pleasant game of progressive euchre, the prizes were awarded the lucky winners. Mrs. Hamrick won the first, Mrs. Passmore the second and Mrs. Winston the consolation. Delicious refreshments were served at the close of the game. A drizzling rain began falling on Sunday and has continued at intervals up to the time of our going to press. H.A. Dickel reports a precipitation of .83 inches for the storm. Indications are favorable for more. The engagement of Bernard Dauser, a former resident of this district from an open letter... To: Rev. Howard S. Congleton Pastor, First Presbyterian Church 310 West Broadway, Anaheim My Dear Rev.: Mine was one of the wager at the second of yourices. It was the first time you may as well be brutally framed church in four months. But it was Easter Sunday, after you know only too well the variety of forces which impell our churchward on that day. However, I state here and now no member of our family will any new article of raiment at this service. In fact, and at the rate of becoming classified as a No heel, I will admit that my wife wore a hat of 1943 vintage. This is just to tell you that I impressiveness of the service, moving choral offerings and dignity of the organ music we surpassed only by your heart sincere and earthy sermon while (by my wrist watch) ran just about the right number of minutes. We were out of the church promptly at noon and off hour to the beef roast with no rush hustle. Countless times I have driven past your massive new church edifice patterned, I believe, after the Gothic design of architecture and often I have marvelled at the great expense which must have been entailed in pouring towering concrete pile. Sun those who would erect such temple as this, I said, must be God-fearing and a God-loveful people. And after attending your Easter service and mingling even slightly, with your flock, I felt that I was not wrong. And (do strike me blind) I was baptized Methodist! I would hesitate to embark you publicly, but you are wholly The petition of the legislature for a new town charter is now in the office of Judge Bailey awaiting signatures of the people. Our citizens should attend to this highly necessary measure at once. The Black Star Coal Mining Co., held their first meeting at the bank on Saturday and the following gentlemen were elected or officers: W. H. Spurgeon, of Santa Ana, president; B. F. Seibert, vice-president and treasurer; A. Witte, secretary and superintendent. At a meeting of the board of supervisors, held at Judge Athearn's office on Tuesday, Mr. Stappenback presented two plans for a new school house. It is quite probable that one of them will be accepted. Dr. J. E. Fulton, owner of the Sulphur Springs on the Santa Gertrudes ranch, has taken the preliminary steps to have 60 acres of land surrounding the springs laid out in village lots. The Santa Anita ranch provides the Baldwin hotel in San Francisco with all the oranges, limes and lemons used by that hotel. Shipments are made twice a week. Mr. Theodore Reiser, president of the board of town trustees, having written to surveyor Hansen in regards to completing his maps of Anaheim, received the following reply dated Los Angeles, January 10, 1878— Mr. Reiser:—I have made several trial profiles, but they don't satisfy me. It is an easy matter to make a grade, but it is laborious to make the best possible grade, that is to say, the one which secures good drainage at the least possible amount of digging, cutting and filling. Considering that it is a matter of consequence to your town to save $10,000 to $15,000 balance, I think it would be wrong to hurry now the most important part of my work and fix blindly a grade which would result in expense and vacation to your town. Many cities have been put to a great deal of trouble because of the establishment of grades. The proper care, work and circumcision was not used. I have now Centre st., so that I think I need not change it again and will have by tomorrow night the last changes on Lemon and Los Angeles streets. A drizzling rain began falling on Sunday and has continued at intervals up to the time of our going to press. H. A. Dickel reports a precipitation of 83 inches for the storm. Indications are favorable for more. The engagement of Bernard Dauser, a former resident of this city, but now of Fullerton, and Miss Barbara Schumacher of Los Angeles is announced. The wedding will occur next month. Joe Hatfield is carrying his left hand in a sling as the result of severe burns sustained last week. 25 Years Ago William LeVecke of Anaheim, Orange county distributor for the General Electric Co.'s electric refrigerators, was one of five successful entrants in the company's national sales contest. LeVecke has not yet been notified what prize he won. LeVecke became county dealer Aug. 1, establishing headquarters in the Yost theater building. Frank Vegeley, native of California, pioneer of Santa Ana and county supervisor for 12 years, died Sunday at his home in this city at the age of 72 years. Manuel Crespin died at his home on Adele st. Saturday evening at the age of 67. He was born in Colorado and came to Anaheim 27 years ago. He conducted a lunch counter here for most of that period, but retired from business some years ago. He was a well known and highly respected citizen. He leaves a widow, four sons and a daughter, Mrs. Ellis Illingwood. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus. Recitation of the rosary was said at the chapel of Backs, Terry and Campbell Monday evening and requiem high mass was sung at St. Bonifice church Tuesday morning. Burial was in Holy Cross cemetery.

I think it would be wrong to hurry now the most important part of my work and fix blindly a grade which would result in expense and vexation to your town. Many cities have been put to a great deal of trouble because of the establishment of grades. The proper care, work and circumstance was not used. I have now Centre st., so that I think I need not change it again and will have by tomorrow night the last changes on Lemon and Los Angeles streets worked out, and can in a few days more put in on paper and send it to you. Although you feel somewhat impatient now, you will in the end not regret to have done so important a work as to the establishment of the grade in every respect well and carefully.—Yours truly, George Hansen. 50 Years Ago A recent marriage of much interest to all occurred at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Hansen of Orange-thorpe, when Miss Selma Hansen was united in wedlock to Otto W. Strodthoff of Jerome, Arizona. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Snyder of the First Presbyterian church, Los Angeles. Miss Clara Hansen, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and Gus Strodthoff, brother of the groom was best man. After a sumptuous wedding breakfast the happy couple departed on the evening train for the north where they will spend their honeymoon. They will make their home in Jerome, Arizona where the groom is an employee of Senator Clark's copper mine. Mrs. Strodthoff, mother of the groom, entertained at dinner on Sunday evening in honor of the bride and groom. We join their many friends in extending the felicitations of the season. Mrs. Hypolite Cahen and family will leave on Saturday for Los Angeles. They have disposed of their place on South Claudina st. A. S.

He has one little son aged 7 years, while his younger brother, Wayne, holds the family record with four children. ANAHEIM RADIATOR REPAIR ONE DAY SERVICE Phone Anaheim Rear Crowell Olds 252 N. Los Angeles St., Anaheim OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.S.R. Open Letter... Rev. Howard S. Congdon, Mr. First Presbyterian Church, West Broadway, Anaheim Dear Rev.: Mine was one of the vast sea of faces in your congregation at the second of your Easter Sunday morning service. It was the first time I had seen or heard you, and (I was well be brutally frank) the first time I had been to join in four months. It was Easter Sunday, and now only too well the various forces which impell one toward on that day. How-ever, I state here and now that member of our family wore new article of raiment at this time. In fact, and at the risk of coming classified as a No.1 I will admit that my wife is a hat of 1943 vintage. Is just to tell you that the resilientness of the service, the choral offerings and the joy of the organ music were used only by your hearty, care and earthy sermon which my wrist watch) ran just the right number of minutes. We were out of the church at noon and off home beef roast with no rush or untless times I have driven your massive new church patterned, I believe, after orthotic design of architecture, when I have marvelled at the expense which must have entailed in pouring this concrete pile. Surely who would erect such a building as this, I said, must be a marrying and a God-loving person. And after attending your service and mingling even with your flock, I feel was not wrong. And (don't blind) I was baptized a Christian should hesitate to embarrass publicly, but you are what pleasing "platform personality" and obvious sincerity you need not take a back seat to the erstwhile campalmer who admittedly (even by his enemies) is the pre-eminent political orator of the present American scene. There is one sharp cleavage, however, in this analogy between you and Mr. Stevenson. He was not too successful at selling his product. You are. LET THERE BE LIGHT... Without doubt, one of the feeblest exhibitions of municipal street lighting extant is on dim display nightly in the block betwixt center and Chartres sts., on Emily st. But if you want to see the lighting fixtures in question, better bring along a flashlight. Surely Thomas A. Edison's embryonic experiments with the incandescent electric lights, even when he pulled a hair out of the beard of an assistant for experimental use as a filament, burned brighter than these. One of these lights is over the entrance to the alley behind Jackson's drug store. The other, striving grimly but unsuccessfully to pierce the gloom, is at the entrance to the parking lot across from Zion Lutheran church. Both of these Japanese lanterns ride at least 25 feet above the payment, and grudgingly radiate just enough illumination to make the work of a disk motor easier. Washington Reports By Congressman JAMES R. UTTT This is Easter week and the lower house (the house of representatives) is in recess. Many of the members have gone to Florida for spring training for the annual congressional baseball game between the Republican and the Democratic members. As in national baseball, the president will toss out the first ball. The Bendix Co. gives a Bendix washer to any member of the Washington baseball team who makes a home run. They started to do that with the congressional game, but after the first inning, the offer was/hastily withdrawn. The reason was that a member knocked a pop fly and an infield player yelled "I got it, I got it," and then the ball was not even caught, and in the scramble the runner completed the circuit for an easy homer. That was the end of free washers. Blossoms In my first few letters I complained about the weather, the snow and the rain. Now spring has come, and with it a riot of color. The cherry blossms were gorgeous, and other trees are now in full bloom. I have never seen a more beautiful sight than the many parks in the district with their hundreds of magnolia trees in bloom. They differ from our magnolias, as they have no foliage in winter and are more of a large bush than a tree. They burst into bloom almost over night with thousands of flowers about the size of an orchid and much the same color—ranging from a pinkish white to a deep orchid. Over a half million visitors have been in and out of the district to see the Cherry Blossom festival. Tidelands The house passed the tidelands bill last week and the senate remained in session during the Easter recess for debate upon the senate version of the bill. Our de Check Cashing Precautions outlined by Bank Manager cautions to cut down the risk of worthless checks being in Orange county were suggested today by Barney Jordan, chief of Security First Nation's Anaheim branch. precautions to observe cashing or accepting checks recently printed in the Can Bankers Association bulletin, Jordan said: Do not be afraid to ask on the check you are to cash. After all, it is your that is being paid out. Never cash a check for a merchant until you have positive location. Insist on local referees and check them carefully. Do not rely on lodge cards, security cards, auto license letters of reference from out-of-town firms as positive identification. These can be forged or not cash paychecks or other checks out of business taking hours on Saturdays or days without investigation. Do not issue or cash checks in pencil as it is very easy or such checks. Make sure the endorsement corresponds with the payee's name on the face of the check. 7. Always demand that the person presenting the check endorse it in your presence. Even though the check has already been endorsed, insist that he endorse it again. 8. Refuse to cash checks if they are on out of town firms or banks, unless you are absolutely certain of the cashier's identity. 9. Refuse to cash checks signed with rubber stamps unless you personally know both the marker and the payee. 10. Do not cash checks for juveniles. 11. Do not cash bank counter checks. 12. Use as much caution before cashing a cashier's or certified check as you would with a personal check. These may be stolen or counterfeit. 13. Do not leave blank checks or your checkbook lying where some "casual" visitor may pick them up. Do not leave your signature where it is accessible to the forger. Your bank signature should be different from your correspondence signature. Ways and Means Committee The house ways and means committee has been holding hearings on the Saylor bill to extend the bonding period for whiskey from the present eight years to 12 years. Under the present law, the $10.50 tax per gallon is not payable until the spirits are withdrawn from warehouses. A portion of the industry wish to extend this period, while many of them oppose it. As one who has never tasted whiskey in any form I must say that I received a liberal education on the manufacture, ageing and distribution of the product which is the greatest offender of any nation. Pause Talks You have been reading a great deal about the renewal of peace talks. There is speculation as to the reasons behind this. It is quite possible that Russia is having some domestic economic problems. A potluck dinner will provide Shafer's talk and a program entertainment. Members are asked to bring their own meat vegetable salad or dessert and bile service.

The right-size tank is only half the size better, spend less with The Farmer's Corner By RALPH H. TAYLOR When the 83rd congress began last January, Speaker Joe Martin (R), Mass., set its tenor. He said the great objective of the Republican administration is to successfully conclude the Korean war and to convert our present war-born prosperity to a prosperity based on peace. The congress is in its fourth month now and an examination discloses, pretty well, where the Republicans are laying stress to achieve their end. Federal Spending As was to be expected, they are out to reduce federal spending. If they can balance the budget and restore a sound economy while solving the war emergency, they will be well on their way to success. As the budget stands now—or as it stood when Truman handed it to the new congress—we will go about eight billion dollars deeper into debt this year. But not if John Tabor (R), Ill., has his way. This veteran legislator is chairman of the house ways and means committee which handles all revenue bills. He makes three major recommendations to achieve the desired reduction in spending: (1) cut from the budget the 7.5 billion dollars earmarked for this year's foreign aid program; (2) make no appropriations to the military; and (3) allot no money for civilian relief this year. On their face, these are startling proposals. But Rep. Tabor points out we have already appropriated enough money to keep the foreign aid program running, full tilt, for the next three years. Likewise, the military has enough money for the next two years and the federal relief program, in money, is a full year ahead of itself. To appropriate money so far in ING so manage to balance the budget, Rep. Dan Reed’s (R.), N.Y., bill to reduce everybody’s personal income tax at least 11 per cent will have a better-than-even chance to pass. President Eisenhower has said—as has Taft—he opposes any tax reduction this year. But if Rep. Tabor can get through his meat-ax cut and a surplus looms—as well it might—they will change their minds. Foreign Policy Next to restoring our economy to a sound footing, foreign policy is rightfully playing the dominant part in the new Republican administration’s mind. What over-all plans have been made is not yet clear, at this writing. Nor are their details which, quite properly, will remain secret. But with brains now in the state department and unquestioned loyalty in John Foster Dulles things are looking up. His trip to Europe shook both socialist-riden England and hesitant France. They have learned through his visit they now must fish or cut bait. with suspicion and with our order dry. There can be no promise nor price paid by way granting UN admission to Redna, or deliverance of Formosa the Reds, for this would be bawed by the loss behind the curtain of Japan, and other eastern nations.
