IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 25 Years Ago Local Lad Wiss County Laurels Seven Orange County high school students, who had been selected as representatives of their schools, participated in the oratorical contest on The Constitution at Brea on Friday evening when Tommy Kuchel of Anaheim was declared to be the winner. Earl Lyon of Orange was second, Miss Winifred Barnett of Brea-Olinda third, followed by Miss Isabel Siracusa of Huntington Beach, fourth, Miss Martha Spaulding of Santa Ana fifth, Miss Evalyn Parks of Garden Grove sixth and Richard Nixon of Fullerton seventh. The winner receives $25 from the Los Angeles Times. He will go to Los Angeles where he will meet students from the northern and central parts of California. Judges were Miss Vida Walker of Alhambra high, Emerson Sear, Gen. Manager of Pacific Wire Products Co., Prof. O. D. Wood former president of Luknow Christian College, India. Principal I. W. Barnett of Brea-Olinda high school presided. The engagement of Miss Bernardine Schlosser, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Schlosser and Lloyd Ross was announced at a delightful hearts party given at a number of boys and men. An old alfalfa patch of 90 acres has long been a refuge for these varmints. The land was flooded by the overflow of the Santa Ana river, and the gophers forced out of their holes. The Newport schools were dismissed and the pupils armed with clubs, dispatched the animals as fast as they appeared. One boy is said to have killed five hundred. Rev. Snyder of the Presbyterian church has resigned on account of ill health, and will remove to Los Angeles. He has sold his place to Frank Baum. A report is current to the effect that the postoffice will be removed from its present location to quarters in a new brick building to be erected at the corner of Lemon and Center sts. The building will be fitted up for other tenants. It is said the post-office department at Washington has accepted the offer of a number of business men to fit up quarters for it at the point indicated. Reports are also current that two other brick buildings will soon be constructed in the business portion of the town.

A lifelong experience enables Mr. Goodman to select with rare judgment and taste, and the stock comprises all that is rich and novel in ladies and gentlemen wearing apparel. Mrs. Flora M. Brown is showing at the spring millinery opening at her store (next to Goodman and Rimpau's) some of the most alluring styles in ladies hats, artificial flowers, and other trimmings ever brought to this town. Mrs. R. J Yardley, at her millinery parlors on Lemon st., one block from the post office, renews her cordial invitation to the ladies to come and see some of the new modes, marvels of elegance and quality which allure the lady of cultivated taste. We repeat an invitation to our suburban friends to visit Anaheim and receive bargains. We have been asked to call the attention of the town authorities to the reprehensible practice of some youths who almost daily bathe in the Zanja on the corner of Adele and Orange streets. Adele street is largely traveled and, aside from the embarrassment occasioned to ladies by coming suddenly on half a dozen naked young hoodlums, they have on more than one occasion frightened passing teams by their sudden appearance from the willows, and nearly caused run-a-way Judges were Miss Vida Walker of Alhambra high, Emerson Sear, Gen.

Two cars were stolen from their parking places on Anaheim streets Thursday night. One belonged to Mrs. A. K. Jensen, 729 Zeynst, and the other to M. D. Howards, Brea. 50 Years Ago We have been favored with an invitation from the Edison Electric Company to accompany its officials on a tour of inspection of its water power plants in Santa Ana and Mill Creek canyons. The trip is for the purpose of making the public familiar with conditions under which electric energy is generated, and invitations have been extended to newspaper representatives from the various towns in which its service is rendered. The excursion will occur probably the latter part of the week. Those accompanying the party will be shown the latest and most modern methods of water power application and the generation of electric energy. The invitations are issued by John D. Miller, president of the company, and the trip will be under the auspices of officers of that corporation.

Reports are also current that two other brick buildings will soon be constructed in the business portion of the town. Cal Woods left on Tuesday for Indio where he will act as assistant to the agent of the Southern Pacific. Cal is a bright boy and we doubt not will grow up to be a conspicuous employee of the "octopus." Miss Zelma Bailey who has been visiting relatives in town for some weeks past, leaves this week for her home in Phoenix. Miss Joyce Littlefield, daughter of Postmaster Littlefield, was tendered an enjoyable surprise party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Boyd some evenings ago. Miss Littlefield contemplates taking up her residence in Los Angeles. Judge Richard Egan of San Juan Capistrano was a guest of friends in town, some days ago. K. Cleaver of the Santa Ana Blade, was in the city the other day and made us a fraternal call. 75 Years Ago June, 1878 We advise all our fair readers in the outlying villages of Santa Ana, Tustin City, Orange and other adjacent places to embrace the first opportunity to visit Anaheim and participate in the most fascinating of all pursuits to the feminine heart—shopping. All our merchants have received their stock of spring novelties and are ready to welcome with hospitable hands to well-filled counters and shelves. The Messrs. Plato have a stock of dry goods, etc., which is superior to any previous importation made by this firm. Messrs. Cahen & Willard have loaded their shelves with a stock which was personally selected by Mr. Willard during his trip to San Francisco. Messrs. Mendelson & Co cater more especially to the sterner sex, and their furnishing goods will be found of superior quality. Messrs. Davis & Bro. A mass meeting will be held today at Santa Ana to form a joint stock company to purchase a steam lighter to run over the Newport bar. If such a company is formed, the McFadden Bros., will deed to it a wharf and warehouse site. F. A. Korn, E. W. Champlin and John Fischer have gone to San Francisco to attend the annual session of the Grand Lodge of the I. O. O.F.

Last year he purchased a new engine, and this year will have a complete new outfit. He counts the present season as promising one of the best in the history of this county.

Many have asked that question when the Red Feather campaign is on. Though Catholic Welfare ministers to all, regardless of race or creed, many wonder why one church group participates in the chest while others do not, and they deserve an answer, chest officials believe. Catholic Welfare not only acts as a "last resort" for those who cannot qualify for state or county aid when in financial distress, but it acts as a placement board for cases that are hard to classify. For instance, there was Betty, whose case is typical of so many unwed mothers today who need help and cannot get it through other agencies operating in the Anaheim Community chest. Betty was involved in a love affair with a soldier whose ardor cooled when he found she was expecting his child. He was transferred and she lost track of him. Her parents refused help and she came to Catholic Welfare, which arranged prenatal care in St. Anne's maternity hospital, a haven for unwed mothers. There her baby was delivered and placed for adoption, since the young mother could not care for it. Then Betty was given advice and preparation for her return to normal daily life. Sometimes other agencies can handle unwed mothers, but many and we do our share of that, but there are few who realize how desperate the plight of the average family can become when misfortune and illness strike," the Rev. William Barry, agency director, reports.

There her baby was delivered and placed for adoption, since the young mother could not care for it. Then Betty was given advice and preparation for her return to normal daily life. Sometimes other agencies can handle unwed mothers, but many times the special services of Catholic Welfare are required. If a psychiatric problem arises the agency seeks advise from its board of consulting psychiatrists. This happens often in other kinds of cases, too, especially the narcotic problem which is growing as the community grows. One of the most frequently used services offered by the agency is family aid to new California residents. There is the Jones family, for instance, though Jones is not their name. Dad Jones was making a good living and had bought a home and a used car. Moving to California and making down pyramids had depleted the family reserve funds, but everything was going fine until Mrs. Jones became ill. First the car was sold to help pay hospital bills and cut down on expenses. Then the children got the measles and dad had to stay home to care for them. Then is when he became desperate and he applied to the Community chest for help. But he had not lived in California long enough to qualify for county or state help and there was no agency to handle such cases but Catholic Welfare. Mrs. Jones' doctor told her she could come home, but must have months of quiet rest. Since Catholic Welfare is one of the few agencies licensed to place children in foster homes, the children were placed in competent hands for a few weeks, their schooling uninterrupted. While Mrs. Jones recuperated in quiet, food bills were paid by the agency and utility bills brought up to date, until At breakfast and other meals, you and your family (and guests) just can't help being cheerful—if you serve on these new and delightful dishes!

HILGENFELD MORTUARY Buffalo Grove North 120 E Broadway Anghem PHONE 4108 The jobs that come in cans The American Can Company hasn't yet worked out a practical container for packing jobs and economic security. We make cans—we do no canning. But; by making better cans, we have actually created job opportunities in many different fields. All kinds of things—foods and beverages, paints and varnishes, tobacco and tennis balls—keep better, are more convenient and easier to use when they are packed in the right kind of container. So, markets for these products expand. Thousands of new, well-paid jobs open up, and incomes climb. In fact, whole new businesses have been able to get started because a suitable can was developed to hold a product. You probably know of manufacturing plants right in California that owe their existence to the industry. Creating new jobs is only one example of what America has accomplished in our free, competitive way of doing business: People working together, playing together and living together bring social and economic gains to all. And such teamwork between our people and our business system promises greater prosperity and more jobs for our future.
