10 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1925 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The Rt. Rev. Bishop Kip will hold a confirmation service in St. Michael's Episcopal church on Sunday next. Mr. A. Guy Smith brought to our office on Thursday some samples of flax grown on Amos Wright's farm. These sample stalks are just about to blossom and are 30 inches in height. The seed was sown on February 22. Mr. Wright has 25 acres in flax, which is growing finely. It has had no more cultivation than is given to barley. As the seed is worth $70 per ton, it is likely that his enterprise in testing the new crop will receive a substantial reward. There are several other farmers in this vicinity who have put in experimental crops and reports are all favorable for a good crop. The town trustees held a meeting yesterday. Eight ordinances were passed. Among the most important was one requiring all storekeepers to pay licenses according to amount of sales made, the money so collected to be expended in sprinkling the streets during summer. Peddlers, auction stores, etc., are also taxed. Another ordinance reduces the marshal's salary from $25 per month their successors qualify. L. Durr, John Fischer and Adolph Rimpau are hereby appointed judges and inspectors of said election—which election shall be conducted as far as possible in accordance with the general law of this state. By Order of the Board of Trustees. E. F. Cahill, Town Clerk. Anaheim, April 5, 1878. Mr. Heitelbrink, while engaged in cutting mustard with a mowing machine, was very seriously injured. He got down to clear the knives which had become clogged with the heavy mustard. A passing team frightened the horses attached to the mower and they started to run. Mr. Heitelbrink was caught in the machinery and his limbs were badly cut. He will probably be a cripple for life. Miss Ettie Bremermann was unfortunate enough to lose a gold locket and chain between this office and the Bremermann vineyard. The finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving the same at this office. The Democratic central committee have given notice that a county convention will be held in Los Angeles on June 24 to nominate the three delegates to the their residence on Los Angeles street. School Census Marshal Hatfield has completed the school census of Anaheim school district and reports 962 children in district as against 548 last year an increase of 11. Children in Catherine's academy decrement from 195 to 165. The Sugar City (Colorado) Gazette has the following number of our fellow-townsman, Carroll.: "Tim Carroll of Denver was in town the first of the week and closed a contract with National Sugar Manufacturer Co., for the construction of large automatic beet dumps. Will be located at Ordway or the other at King's Center. The improvements will be of great benefit to beet growers in the city of these places. Postmaster Littlefield informs us that the three carriers of free delivery carried from Anaheim postoffice 14,500 piles of mail during the month of July. Rural free delivery has been instantaneous success here and daily becoming more popular. Orange county will not permit itself to be outclassed by the earlier Southern California county tomorrow on the occasion of President's visit to Los Angeles While the President will not attend that entire county go to Los Angeles to meet Every one desires to see him, if he cannot be shaken by hand and told quietly that Orange county esteems him at his The town trustees held a meeting yesterday. Eight ordinances were passed. Among the most important was one requiring all storekeepers to pay licenses according to amount of sales made, the money so collected to be expended in sprinkling the streets during summer. Peddlers, auction stores, etc., are also taxed. Another ordinance reduces the marshal's salary from $25 per month to $5. Under the charter the fees of this office will make up the difference. The clerk's salary was fixed at $75 per annum, instead of $3 per meeting as heretofore. The salary of the assessor was fixed at $50 per annum. A communication was received from Dr. Ellis asking that a sidewalk be placed on Chestnut street. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvements. As Mr. Cahill was absent, Mr. Cohen acted as clerk, pro tem.

The finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving the same at this office. The Democratic central committee have given notice that a county convention will be held in Los Angeles on June 24 to nominate the three delegates to the constitutional convention. 50 Years Ago Supervisor Linebarger has had a force of graders at work from A. S. Bradford's place in Placentia to Olinda. Another crew has been at work from Mrs. Hiltscher's corner to Buena Park. A crew is also at work regrading the road from L. B. Benchley's place to Brea Canyon oil wells. This will make ten miles of new road work done since the last rain, and all of it in much traveled territory. The roads will be oiled and for this purpose Dan Murphy of the Brea Canyon Oil Co., has donated 100 barrels of oil, Graham and Loftus Co., 100 barrels, and the new townsite company at Randolph 150 barrels. Several hundred barrels will also be donated by the different companies operating in the territory. Captain Ahlborn has returned from Los Angeles and resumed his position in Stern Bros., grocery.

Frank Baum has moved the Cahen residence on Clay street and is engaged in ming the trees and beautifying the premises. George Hager was in town Miraflores on Monday. Ge tells us the Democrats have a shot of electing the pres next year, but whether it will Cleveland or Hearst, he did state. Rev. Mr. Burr has tendered resignation as pastor of Christian church and will add a charge in Los Angeles. He sold his cottage to J. Holloworth for $750. On all these points of comparison... Chevrolet's farther ah than ever! IN NEW AND ADVANCED STYLING—The new long, low, sleek lines of the 1953 Chevrolet set new standards of beauty in the low-price field. Here you will see careful detailing and a richness of appointments always before found only in much costlier cars. IN HIGH-POWERED PERFORMANCE—The most powerful engine in the low-price field! The entirely new 115-h.p. "Blue-Flame" engine in combination with new Powerglide* brings you new high-compression power and a wonderful gain in economy, too. In gearshift models you will find the advanced high-compression 108-h.p. "Thrift-King" engine. IN SMOOTH, SIMPLE AUTOMATIC DRIVING—Expect faster getaway with Powerglide's new automatic starting and passing range... and new economy, too. Chevrolet's new Power Steering* takes over 80 per cent of the work of steering, makes parking unbelievably easy. IN ECONOMY AND VALUE—Now, you'll get many more miles out of every gallon of gasoline. You'll save on over-all operation and upkeep, too. Yet Chevrolet remains the lowest-priced line in the low-price field. IN AMERICA'S FAVOR—Again this year—as in every single postwar year—more people are buying Chevrolets than any other car. In fact, latest official registration figures show that Chevrolet is over 25% ahead of the second-place car. Nearly 2 million more people now drive Chevrolets than any other make. Optional at extra cost. Combination of Powerglide automatic transmission and 115-h.p. "Blue-Flame" engine available on "Two-Ten" and Bel Air models only. Power Steering available on all models. CONE BROTHERS Che 215 No. Los Angeles St. — Anaheim Scouts Receive Promotions, Merit Badge Awards Boy Scouts of Anaheim Troop 74, sponsored by the Kiwanis club Monday night received promotions and merit badge awards. In addition they were given information concerning the Scout Jamboree slated for July 17 to 23 at Irvine Ranch by Scout Executive Lloyd Paxton.

Paxton said out-of-state Scouts will be debarked from trains at Santa Ana, Fullerton, Puente and East Los Angeles, where Tanner buses will pick them up for the trip to the ranch. Tours of Hollywood, Knott's Berry Farm, Catalina and the mountain resorts have been outlined for them. Washington Report The House Appropriations Committee has approved budget cuts that were recommended by the new Administration. Their recommendation for almost thirty-four and a half billion dollars for the Department of Defense, together with carry-over funds, will give the Department nearly $92 billion for spending next year. It is estimated that there will be $200 million more available for actual expenditure next year than there was this past year. This is a cut of $6.3 billion, equal to 15.4%, from the Truman Defense Budget and allows approximately $11 billion for the Air Force, $13 billion for the Army, and a little better than $9 billion for the Navy. I am in hearty agreement with the President in this matter. In the first place I believe he has proven that he understands military strategy and he should be well qualified to know what might reasonably be necessary for a continued strong military position for our Country. In the second place, as I have said before, I do not believe there is any agency of our Government which cannot do a better job than they have been doing, and do it at a greatly reduced cost simply by eliminating waste and duplication, and I believe this is especially true of the Defense Department. If the top brass and the various echelons Dr. Claud Steen Jr. to Return to African Mission A Fullerton doctor will from New York City today gin his second term as a missionary in Africa. He is Dr. Claude Steen 2504 Valencia Drive, Fuller who returned to the United States only last August following year term as a staff physician at the Seventh-Day Aistid denomination in Addis Ababa. Accompanying Dr. Steen be his wife, Frances, and three children, Claude Ed David Arthur, 7, and Jamie ler, 3½. They will sail on S. S. United States from El Toro Land Lease Bids Asked Bids for the lease of approximately 69.6 acres of land within the boundaries of El Toro Marine Air Station will be opened publicly at 2 p.m., Aug. 4, in the office of the District Public Works officer, 11th Naval District, 1220 Pacific Hwy., San Diego 32. Sealed bids for use of the land, for dry farming purposes only, will be received at the above office until time of opening the bids. The land may be inspected at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., daily on July 22, 23 and 24. Bidders should call at the main entrance of the air station for escort. Bid forms and other pertinent papers may be obtained at the air station Public Works office or at the San Diego office. I believe our servicemen should receive every consideration in the way of good food, good housing, good equipment, and adequate entertainment, but at the same time I do not think this means that one group should have super-de-luxe accommodations in all respects, nor that another group should have lower than what should reasonably be considered standard. I believe there are many abuses of the flight pay provisions in the Air Force. This is especially noticeable in the use of large multi-engine transports where the smaller single engine planes would serve the same purpose. Chairman Dan Reed has called for a resumption of hearings on the general revision of the tax structure by the Ways and Means Committee beginning on Wednesday, July 8th. Over the past 20 years, the tax structure has become a patchwork of error upon error until it is a most complex and, in many ways, inequitable structure. The Committee is trying to find the basic causes of the trouble so that a non-complex yet equitable tax program can be evolved. Economy During the Truman Administration, almost twenty-five million cubic feet of records were accumulated by the bureaucrats. In a move to reduce storage costs, the Records Management Division of the National Archives is disposing of useless files. It is estimated that it costs a dollar to dictate and type a letter while at the same time the typing alone costs but 33c per letter. All agencies are being encouraged to use form letters wherever possible instead of individually written ones. The Vet- ahead ver! The thrilling new "Two-Ten" 2-door sedan.

Electricity is one of the few things you buy or use today which still sells at pre-inflation prices, and Edison rates are among the lowest in the nation. Considering everything electricity does for you—at home, at work and at play—the small amount you pay for it buys a world of convenience, comfort and work-saving economy. And with your electric rates even lower today than in 1939, electricity really is today's biggest bargain!
