3 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1983 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago About 12:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning a fire was discovered in the Older Drying Works owned by Messrs. Heinman and Sorenson. Mr. Robb, who lives near the dryer, discovered the fire. Although the alarm was promptly given, and the citizens assembled in force, it was burned to the ground in a short time. The destruction was complete. The books and papers were in the safe and are probably intact, although at the present writing the safe has not been opened. Mr. Sorenson's carpenter tools were all burned—he has not even a hatchet left to split his kindling wood. Fortunately there was very little dried fruit in the building, the total amount lost being about $3000. Since shutting down for the season, men have been packing and shipping the fruit to San Francisco and warehousing it. The building and its contents were valued at $10,000 to $11,000. Insurance $6000. Mr. Heinman who was in San Francisco arrived home on Thursday night. The origin of the fire is a mystery. At the last meeting of the board of school trustees it was agreed to prepare a petition to the state legislature for the passage of a bill allowing the Anaheim school district to issue bonds for a sum of money sufficient to complete the school house. To finish a building in accordance with the plans presented will require about in Los Angeles on legal business. Judge J. S. Howard transacted business in Los Angeles the first of the week. Mrs. Classen for many years a resident of this city, but now residing in Los Angeles, is visiting Mrs. Zeus. County Treasurer Potter was over from Santa Ana yesterday. He will move his family to the county seat when he has purchased a home. Added interest attaches to reports of bubonic plague in Mazatlan from the fact that Dr. Lloyd C. Bailey and family, former residents of this city, have been for some years past living in that place. Dr. Bailey telegraphed, in December that he and his family were well and that reports of the plague were exaggerated. Nothing further was heard from him until last week, when a letter came by way of Guaymas, bringing the intelligence that he has decided to leave, and would set out on burros for the town of San Dimas, in the state of Durango. He would travel two hours out of Mazatlan and would go into quarantine for a period of ten days. After resuming his journey it would take him six days to reach his destination. He writes that the plague is exceedingly violent and that the people are fleeing the city; that many have died and business is prostrated. 25 Years Ago Arrangements are being made for the opening of a dancing Washington By Congressman To Rab Butler, Chancellor of the British Exchequer, must be credited the slodan of "Trade not Aid." The American people are suckers for slogans. They took this one behind their own goal line and started for a touchdown with interference being run by foreign importers and American exporters, with a kindly assist from the sidelines. The argument is to close the dollar gap, or in other words, bring our imports into balance with our exports. One is led to believe that this gap is a result of stupid planning on the part of America, when actually it is a result of World War II and Korea. In 1947, American imports exceeded exports by $8.6 billion by reason of the fact that we captured many foreign markets, while other countries were producing for war only. This figure decreased in 1950 to $1.4 billion and if it had not been for the Korean war, would have been in balance within another year. Should the present conflict end, we would again travel toward a favorable balance of trade without forcing it by "free trade" which would upset our economy. Import Increase American imports have increased since the prewar years by more than 50% in physical volume and by more than 500% in dollar value. This is due to a reduction of tariffs from an average of 50% to an average of 12% under our current trade agreements, so we have gone a long way toward "free have gone a long way toward "free that these low import duties have At the last meeting of the board of school trustees it was agreed to prepare a petition to the state legislature for the passage of a bill allowing the Anaheim school district to issue bonds for a sum of money sufficient to complete the school house. To finish a building in accordance with the plans presented will require about $8000, which is more than can be raised by a levy upon the district. The plan of bonding the district seems to us to be the most feasible method of accomplishing the results. If the bonds are paid by a tax levied upon the district every two or three years, it will make the burden light upon our already overtaxed citizens, and allow those who shall come to us in after years the pleasure of paying for a portion of the benefits we have prepaid for them. A meeting will be held next Saturday at which time the petition will be presented and the subject discussed. We are in hopes that all who feel an interest in the cause of education, and the purpose and welfare of the town will be present, and by their counsel encourage the trustees who have taken the matter in hand. There is so much said about bills being prepaid and sent to the legislature without the citizens being aware of the contents thereof, that the trustees are particularly anxious that all who desire should be present at the meeting to state their objections, if they have any, and to suggest any amendments which they may think will be beneficial. During the absence of C. C. Angle, who has been working on the Brea canyon road, some scoundrel burglarized his residence near town, stealing goods valued at $40. Mr. Angle says that if the wretch will call and remove the worn-out brogans which he left in place of 12-pair of new boots, he will receive the thanks of the owner and a couple of ounces of lead from a double barreled shotgun. 50 Years Ago Paul Keuss was in town the first of the week from Chino, where he is now located and engaged in business. He reports crop conditions in that locality good. George Knapp died at his home stage of Durango. He would travel two hours out of Mazatlan and would go into quarantine for a period of ten days. After resuming his journey it would take him six days to reach his destination. He writes that the plague is exceedingly violent and that the people are fleeing the city; that many have died and business is prostrated. 25 Years Ago Arrangements are being made for the opening of a dancing school. D. R. M. Thompson who is so popular as a dancing master, will make visits here once a week. The list of those desiring lessons will be found at Beebers. A little son of E. E. Mead of Orangethorpe is seriously ill. J. W. Clark and party who have been prospecting in the Santiago hills for the past week have returned. They have located several silver ledges, which they believe to be very rich. Mr. Pullen took some of the ore to Los Angeles and it essayed by fire test $40 to the ton. Messrs. Thistlewalte Dunlap and Co. are preparing to ship 10 tons of ore to San Francisco. There is no road that further developments will give increased confidence in the district and attract quite a population. Mr. Clark has taken time by the forelock and surveyed off a town site. For that purpose he has purchased the Bee ranch of Mrs. Alvord. The embryo town is called Silverado. A very heavy swell continues at the Landing. It has lasted longer than ever before known it being 12 days since lighters could go out to the streams. One can from some idea of the force of the swells when we say the 1200 pound anchor used by lumber vessels was carried down to Bolsa Chica, a distance of two miles, and left in the breakers. Channels from two to 50 feet wide have been washed through the sand hills all along the beach from the Landing to Bolsa Chica. The roar of the ocean can be heard in Westminster as though it were right on the beach. Bank of America Zone Winners To Be Picked Six civic leaders of this area are meeting today at Hotel Laguna, Laguna Beach, to pick four outstanding high school seniors from this zone as zone winners in Bank of America's annual statewide achievement awards program. To make their selections, the panel of judges will interview some 35 students from zone 3, which includes all of the schools of Orange county and many of those of San Diego county. The four chosen will receive cash awards of between $100 and $1,000 each when they are again interviewed May 21 at Pomona college, by a board of final judges, in competition with winners from all nine zones of Southern California. The civic leaders acting as zone judges Thursday are: Linton T. Simmons, superintendent of Orange county schools, who is serving for the second time as chairman of the judges; John Weld, editor and publisher of Laguna Beach 'Post, Mrs. J. F. Hinrichs, president of Escondido Women's club; Mrs. Edgar R. Hill, past president of Assistance league of Newport Beach; Norman D. Mayne, past president of Encinitas chamber of commerce, and Roy Brokenshire, minister of the Community church at Carlsbad. Before judging begins in the afternoon, the judges will meet at the hotel for luncheon, at which Harold E. Coward, manager of Bank of America's Laguna Beach branch, will be host. will receive the thanks of the owner and a couple of ounces of lead from a double barreled shotgun. 50 Years Ago Paul Keuss was in town the first of the week from Chino, where he is now located and engaged in business. He reports crop conditions in that locality good. George Knapp died at his home in Katella on Sunday. He was 26 years old.

PACIFIC HEALTH FOOD STORE Mrs. Northrup 208 N. LOS ANGELES PHONE 3304 Washington Reports By Congressman JAMES B. UTT Bob Butler, Chancellor of Irish Exchequer, must be the slodan of "Trade not the American people are for slogans. They took behind their own goal started for a touchdown conference being run by importers and American with a kindly assist sidelines. Argument is to close the gap, or in other words, our imports into balance exports. One is led to that this gap is a result of planning on the part of when actually it is a World War II and Ko-1947, American imports exports by $8.6 billion of the fact that we cap many foreign markets, while countries were producing only. This figure decreases 50 to $1.4 billion and if not been for the Koreanuld have been in balance another year. Should the conflict end, we would travel toward a favorable trade without forcing free trade" which would be economy. Import Increase Man imports have increased the prewar years by more than physical volume and than 50% in dollar values is due to a reduction from an average of 50% average of 12% under our trade agreements, so we are a long way toward "free the low import duties have not yet been tested under a buyers' market; and when a buyers' market arrives, American industry, labor, and farmers will face collapse. Big business is generally in favor of free trade while small business generally opposes it. By big business, I refer to those concerns which are of such a size and nature that they can, and have placed branch plants behind the low-wage-curtain countries and manufacture their products and reship them to this country, import free, at a lower cost than wage-living standards will permit here. For example, Ford Motor Company operates more than 26 subsidiaries in foreign countries; Stutebaker has 11; General Motors has 73; and Standard Oil of New Jersey has 255. In many of these countries the annual wage is less than $100.00, and in England, skilled mechanical labor brings 44c per hour, an amount about equal to the fringe benefits given to the American laborer in addition to the direct wage of more than $1.50 per hour. Opposition Opposed to this, there are more than four million independent business firms and 60 million wage carriers who would face destruction under the program of "free trade", and I am not ready to abandon them in favor of imports produced by cheap foreign labor. You say that would not happen! Let us examine the record. In 1952, residual oil imports jumped to 129 million barrels from 45 million in 1946. Effect in one year? (1) Loss of coal revenues, $150 million; (2) Loss of man days in miles, 4.2 million; (3) Loss of mine wages, $75 million; (4) Loss of freight revenues, Anaheimer One Of Six Chosen As FJC Speakers Six students from the Fullerton Junior College graduating class of 1953 have been chosen by the College Council as speakers and alternates for the Commencement exercises June 19, it was announced this week. The student speakers include, for the women, Laura Lee Bowie (Fullerton), and Nevalyn Owen (Whittler); for the men, Roland Hiltscher (Anaheim) and David Goldsmith (Fullerton); and as alternates, Louise Michaels (Orange) and Charles Stegmuller (Fullerton). It is traditional at the Fullerton Junior College commencement exercises to have four speakers representing the graduating class. These speakers replace the usual off-campus speaker brought in for graduating exercises. From among twelve students nominated by the Sophomore Class, the four speakers and two alternates were selected by the College (faculty) Council. The twelve nominees were chosen for their speaking ability. Laura Lee Bowie, a teaching major, has been very active in forensics and drama. She is twice winner of the Eastern Conference title for women's extemporaneous speaking. She is also publicity commissioner for the student body, a member of Theta Nu Theta, of the scholarship society, and of the Student Christian Association. Nevalyn Owen has also been active in forensics and drama. She has participated in several four-sided events and so on. BP and Anaheim Projects Denied Two north Orange county business projects were turned down last week by the county planning commission, one southeast Buena Park and the other south east of Anaheim. The planners recommended denial of a permit to W. J. Spencer to establish a 27-unit trailer park on the south side of Orangethorp boulevard, west of Magnolia ave. None of the planning commission of Buena Park, Anaheim or Fullerton had filed reports on the application. The county commission also re-part-time throughout his two years at FJC. Louise Michaels, women's alternate speaker, is president of Kappa Sigma service sorority and a member of Alpha Gamma Sigma scholarship society. The men alternate Stegmuller, is also member of Alpha Gamma Sigma and served as chairman of the recent World University Service drive on campus. He also appeared in the Sophomore Talent Shares recently. of America Winners are Picked Municipal leaders of this area bring today at Hotel Laguna Beach, to pick four high school seniors as zone as zone winners of America's annual achievement awards. Like their selections, the judges will interview students from zone 3, includes all of the schools in county and many of San Diego, county. Theosen will receive cash of between $100 and $1, when they are again in May 21 at Pomona college board of final judges, edition with winners from zones of Southern Calif. Municipal leaders acting as zone Thursday are: Linton T. superintendent of Oratory schools, who is serve second time as chair the judges; John Weld, and publisher of Laguna West, Mrs. J. F. Hinrichs, of Escondido Women's College, Edgar R. Hill, past of Assistance league of Beach; Norman D.ast president of Encinitas of commerce, and Roy Ree, minister of the Com Church at Carlsbad. Judging begins in the judges will meet at for luncheon, at which Coward, manager of America's Laguna Beach will be host. In 1952, residual oil imports jumped to 129 million barrels from 45 million in 1948. Effect in one year? (1) Loss of coal revenues, $150 million; (2) Loss of man days in mines, 4.2 million; (3) Loss of mine wages, $75 million; (4) Loss of freight revenues, $86 million; (5) Loss of railroad wage, $41 million. Here is a partial list of imports in recent weeks: 3900 frozen lamb carcasses, 500,000 pounds of aluminum (or week) 10,000 bags of cement, 10,000 lawn mowers, 18,000 sewing machines. Tuna imports were up several hundred per cent in 1952 and are now threatening our fishing industry. All of this even with our present tariff. This cannot halt have an impact upon American business and labor. Exports Opening of the greatest and richest market in the world will not greatly increase a foreign demand for our products, for as the foreign nations produce cheap surplus, they will supply each other. Last year alone, America lost an export trade of 2 million bales of cotton because our foreign markets could buy it cheaper from other countries. They have not bought from us because they love us, but simply because we had the only available supply for several years. In the bulletin of the American Vegetable Growers' Association there is contained the following quotation: "American hot house vegetable and field growers have been and are suffering severe losses due to excessive imports. The chief cost of producing vegetables is labor. Imported vegetables are grown at a labor cost of 1/10 to ¼ of that earned by American workers. For American growers to compete with imports, it would be necessary to reduce wage levels to approximately the level paid by foreign growers." You can see from the above discussion that I propose to insist on safeguards being written into any extension of the "Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act."
