IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 60 Years Ago... March 1905 A large and enthusiastic mass meeting of citizens of this city and vicinity assembled at the city hall on Monday evening for the purpose of discussing the offering of a free site for the pathological station. J. P. Ahlborn presided and J. B. Neff was called upon to offer suggestions as to what is necessary to secure the station for this city. A lot 150 x 200 feet would be acceptable. A discussion was participated in by Messrs. Melrose, Collins, Baum, Grim, Miller, Adams and others, all of whom expressed approval of the plan to secure the station for Anaheim. About $750 will have to be raised. An election will be held in school districts throughout the county next Friday. In the Anaheim district, Trustee Lewis' term expires and Trustee Clabaugh having been appointed to the vacancy caused by Mr. Maxwell's resignation will also retire. Mr. Lewis has announced his purpose not to stand again for the office. The names of Mr. Clabaugh and P. H. Krick are mentioned for the two vacancies. At Loara district Mr. Webster will probably succeed himself. San Juan Capistrano will entertain the largest number of persons in the history of the old Mission, Thursday June 8. Knights of Columbus will be in Southern California from all sections of the United States at the time men- cession of wet years, and in this belief he is joined by a number of pump men of the neighborhood. A large crowd of art lovers assembled at Backs hall yesterday and the day before to view the art exhibit on display. Among scenes familiar to all were water color sketches by Miss Ingraham of Laguna and one of the old Bremerman place with strings of red peppers drying in the sun. 75 Years Ago... March 1880 The following item is taken from the London Telegraph:—There is another of the American states which, as a producer of oranges will soon distance all competitors upon the Western Continent. California, taking its name from the Spanish, is said to be unrivaled in the deep black alluvial soil of its valleys and in the suitability of its climate for the production of fruit of all kinds. If travelers are to be credited, Los Angeles, in Southern California, will sooner or later be the center of the richest orange growing district in the United States. The number of oranges which are said to hang upon a single branch of the trees in and about Los Angeles surpass belief, and the quality, moreover, is finer than that of any fruit of its kind grown in other parts of the North American Continent. The rainfall of Wednesday amounted to 44 and that of Wed- San Juan Capistrano will entertain the largest number of persons in the history of the old Mission, Thursday June 8. Knights of Columbus will be in Southern California from all sections of the United States at the time mentioned and it is planned to entertain them with a barbecue and bull's heed breakfast, after the manner made famous by Col. Richard Egan, generally known as the King of Capistrano. John D. Mott and C. O. Desmond went to the Mission, Monday, to survey the situation preparatory to arranging details for the proposed feast among the features of which will be an address by Bishop Couaty. In addition to Col. Egan, C. E. Lumruls, J. C. Cline and W. R. Rowland will assist in making the occasion one long to be remembered. Madame Modjeska and Count Bozenta, who have been living at their mountain home at Arden during the winter, depart next week for New York, when Modjeska will be given a monster benefit testimonial tendered by Paderewski, Sembrich, and other friends of the noted couple. Ben Dresser, an old time Anaheim boy, has been in town a day or two from Portland. Ben conducts one of the largest retail grocery stores in the northern town and has done well since leaving here ten years ago. The old hankering after Southern California, exists with him, however, and it would not surprise his friends to see him locate here and go into business. Annual meeting of the Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church was held Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Arthur Lewis. Officers were elected as follows: Mrs. J. B. Rae, president; Mrs. W. H. Spake, first vice-president; Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw, secretary; Mrs. L. E. Miller, treasurer. It was decided to give a picnic in Santiago canyon in the near future. Don David Yorba was a visitor in town from his home up the river, the fore part of the week. Don David says the river is full of water and predicts the most pose not to stand again for the office. The names of Mr. Claibaugh and P. H. Krick are mentioned for the two vacancies. At Loara district Mr. Webster will probably succeed himself. The rainfall of Wednesday amounted to .44 and that of Wednesday night to .06, making the total for the season 10.65 inches. We gave the total last week as 10.36, when it should have been 10.15. The buds on some of the early bearing vines have commenced swelling, and should the coming week be warm, the buds will be well advanced to be in danger of frost, should that dreaded April visitation appear this year. If the cool weather continues for a week or two, it would suit the people of this ballwick very well. (The vines referred to in the above item are of course grapevines—Anaheim at that time grew only grapes—Ed.). We were shown the other day by Mr. F. A. Gates a small can of sugar which had granulated from syrup made from the Minnesota Early Amber cane. This sample he sent to San Francisco refinery for the purpose of learning what they can pay for it in large quantities. We will publish their reply when it is received. Farmers here are very hopeful of this industry and cane will be planted extensively this season. The town authorities have during the past two weeks, built several foot bridges over impassable ditches. Mr. Jothan Bixby of Los Anmitos, with whom we had a conversation last Monday is inclined to the opinion that wool will reach thirty cents a pound this year. Wool will be exceeding clean and free from burrs and will reach the market in a better condition than it ever has before. Mr. Bixby does not remember any time when the prospect for sheep men looked so bright. Eight hundred acres of the Cerritos are seeded to wheat, mostly Australian and a full crop is expected. Mr. H.

Danforth, some days ago, found water trickling into his well pit, which is 59 feet deep. The following day the water rose three inches, and at the latest reports was still rising. A few years ago water stood at a depth of 20 feet in Mr. Danforth's well, its present depth showing to what extent it has lowered. Mr. Danforth believes water will yet rise to its former level, with a suc- Wool will be exceeding clean and free from burrs and will reach the market in a better condition than it ever has before.

J. McDermott has bought the large blacksmith shop on Lemon street which he has occupied for some years, paying Mr. Jordan $2,500 therefor. Mr. McDermott will now carry on business on a larger scale than before and as he is a superior workman and an excellent business man he will not fall to command success. Mr. Tim Carroll has bought nine acres of Mr. Guinn's land near the depot and will begin at once to improve it. Mr. Carroll has done an immense business in Cypress trees this year and has found the transplanting of which he is the patnetee, a great help to him in his business.

Vets, Non-Vets Buy At Vermont Terrace A free move-in plan for veterans and a low down payment price of only $750.00 for non-vets has made Vermont Terrace in Anaheim one of Orange County's most popular new developments, sales head Gene Mahaffey reported this week. The three and four bedroom homes also include many other "free extras" that make the modern ranch dwellings a "great buy for vet or non-vet," Mahaffey explained. Along with the free vet move-in and low down to non-vets, the Vermont Terrace homes include to each buyer free built-in range and oven, free patio fencing, and free custom draperies for every spacious room. "These extras alone," Mahaffey said, "are worth nearly $1,000!" Because the homes are rapidly nearing the sell-out point, visitors are urged to act quickly for best selection. To reach Vermont Terrace drive south on Los Angeles St., in Anaheim—the main street that crosses Center—to the Vermont intersection. Turn left (east) on Vermont and drive four blocks to model home.

More people coming in every day to see, sit sample and select the '55 Buick of their choice. More people than ever before in our history. That's why you see so many new Buicks on the road today. And that's why—to meet this unprecedented popularity—Buick production has been boosted to the highest levels of all time. Buick Sales Are Soaring The simple measure of it all is this: Buick is "hot" an automobile that it now outsells all other cars in the United States except two of the best-known smaller cars. And for reasons sound, substantial and thrilling. Buick styling, you see, was never so crisp, clean distinctive. Buick horsepower was never so brittle. Buick interiors never so rich—Buick's grille never so satin-smooth and steady. But there's something else, too—something vastly different and exciting.

There are about two million children in the U.S. who are undiscovered hearing impairments, according to the American Hearing Aid Association. The non-profit organization urges parents to have their children's hearing tested by an ear doctor or reputable hearing aid specialist at the slightest sign of a hearing loss. It reminds parents to be especially alert when children often try to conceal hearing impairments because they want to be like other kids.

Optical Illusion 'Lowers the Roof' You can make a "boxy traditional" house look lower and more modern by applying paint to its masonry surfaces. To create this illusion, here's a decorator's trick: paint horizontal masonry lines to contrast with the rest of the house, and vertical planes to match.

To create this illusion, here's a decorator's trick: paint horizontal masonry lines to contrast with the rest of the house, and vertical planes to match. Areas to color shown above are (1) concrete steps; (2) construction block foundation; and (3) masonry chimney. This styling has been gaining wide popularity since Martin-Senour introduced Colorado masonry paint in 144 colors, varying from light pastels to deep tones. It can be used on concrete, construction block, stucco, brick, or asbestos shingles. Another way to lower the house is to paint the masonry foundation the same color as the terrain. like Buick's Biggest Year Riviera—Best Seller in the West!
