IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... October 1880 On last Saturday Mr. Isaac Harding of Santiago Canyon went in search of cows. He had gone but a short distance when he saw in front of him a huge California lion, whose switching tail and low growls showed he was ready for a scrimmage. After looking at each other for a few minutes, Mr. Harding and the lion parted, the former returning to his house for a weapon and the latter ambling slowly up the mountain side. Having procured a gun and a dog, Mr. Harding went in pursuit of the lion, and found him about a hundred yards from the place of the first meeting. He fired and the lion dropped but immediately rose again. A second shot broke the animal's back and he fell to the ground. Mr. Harding's dog then sprang upon the lion but his richness cost him his life for the lion almost disemboweled him with its claws. Mr. Harding went to the rescue of his dog and struck the lion with the butt end of his gun. Dropping the dog, the lion struck his human assailant a powerful blow with his paw, the claws fearing his clothes and before he could get away the brute, razed him by the thigh with its teeth, but to the surprise of Mr. 50 Years Ago... October 1905 Joseph Stroka, bookkeeper of the Union brewing company was made happy by the arrival this week of his wife and five children from Germany. They will reside permanently in this city. Mrs. F. M. Robinson, wife of a former pastor of the Presbyterian churech, who lived here 24 years ago, addressed the congregation Sunday afternoon. She was the leader of the Missionary work at that time, organizing the Ladies Presbyterial, also the local society. At present Mrs. Robinson is a member of the Occidental Board in San Francisco. Chillie Fischer will re-open the billiard and pool room in the Ruhman block on Los Angeles street the first of the month. The place will be kept in firstclass style. New fixtures and new tables will be added and the premises entirely renovated. The dance given by the Anaheim City band on Friday night was a grand success, fully 75 couples attending. The music was all that could be desired and the dancers thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. The hall was artistical- Revolutionary And Bigger Of Pontiac's The new 1956 Pontiac model which go on display in deal showrooms Friday (Oct. 21), produce a General Motors "fine" completely new Hydra-Matic transmission. Called Strato-Fly Hydra-Matic by Pontiac engineers, the new transmission is signed to provide smoother, quieter shifting of gears. The Pontiac Strato-Steak engine, introduced last year larger in 1956 with horsepower up to 227 in the Star Chief 205 in the 870 and 880 series. Teen new body styles, longer 24 inches, include six "hard Catalinas, three of them four," and three two-door.

"Pontiac is proud to be the then sprang upon the lion but his richness cost him his life for the lion almost disemboweled him with its claws: Mr. Harding went to the rescue of his dog and struck the lion with the butt end of his gun. Dropping the dog, the lion struck his human assailant a powerful blow with his paw, the cows tearing his clothes and before he could get away the brute, seized him by the thigh with its teeth, but to the surprise of Mr. Harding he felt no pain and easily pulled himself away. After firing another shot and killing the lion, the reason of his getting off so easily was apparent. Mr. Harding's first shot had shattered the lower jaw of the lion so that he could not bite. The brute was one of the largest of his species, measuring exactly seven feet in length. John Lowe of Santa Ana has received from the east a small quantity of wheat of each of the following varieties: Double Fall, Scotch Fall, Amarakie, White Life, Red Fern, Canada Club, and Scotch.

Called Strato-Flight Hydra-Matic by Pontiac engines, the new transmission is designed to provide smoother, quiet-shifting of gears. One Pontiac Strato-Streak V-8 engine, introduced last year, is older in 1956 with horsepower needed to 227 in the Star Chief and in the 870 and 860 series. Fifteen new body styles, longer by inches, include six "hardtop" calinas, three of them four-door, three two-door. "Hardtop" models are available in all three sizes, the Star Chief, 870 and 860. There is a choice of 57 new colors. Interiors utilize new series and leather in a wide range of colors. Pontiac is proud to be the first to introduce a big and vital Generator Motors first—Pontiac's new Strato-Flight Hydra-Matic transmission." R. M. Critchfield, General Motors' Vice-President and General Manager of Pontiac Division, said today, "In over two million test miles this revolutionary transmission system demonstrated smooth, effortless shifting. This new Strato-Flight Hydra-Matic transmission combined with Pontiac's more powerful V-8 engine will give Pontiac owners a new experience in positive efficient performance. There is no interruption in transmitting power to the rear wheels and gear action is barely noticeable. This positive action insures unhampered acceleration for quick, safe maneuvering. Long, Low Look "The longer and lower look of Pontiac's new body styles combine with big-car riding comfort in the new series," Critchfield pointed out. "The rich colors of Pontiac 'Vogue' two-tones are packed up in the luxurious interiors. Exciting new fabrics are colorful with durability, cleanability and slideability." Foremost among the mechanical improvements in the 1956 Pontiac are the new Strato-Streak V-8 engines—bigger and sturdier than ever and upped in horsepower to 227 in the Star Chief series and 205 in the 870 and 860 series. The upsurge in horsepower comes from the increased displacement, higher compression ratio up to 8.9:1, and improved carburetion. Three Body Series Pontiac offers three Strato-Streak body series in 1956. Longer by 2.4 inches overall, the 15 new body styles have longer, lower looking silhouette. Most luxurious of the three series, the Star Chief line consists of the custom Catalina two and four-door "hardtops," four-door sedan, and convertible, on a 124-inch wheelbase and the Safari Station Wagon on 122-inch wheelbase. In Pontiac's middle-priced 870 series with 122-inch wheelbase are the Catalina two and four-door sedan, a two-door two-seat station wagon and four-door three-seat station wagon. 860 Series Comprising the low priced 8 series are the Catalina coupe sedans, two and four-door sedans, two-seat station wagons and four-door three-seat station wagons. Newly designed for increased cargo space; the Pontiac two-station wagons have a fold seat with the back-rest, and a cushion folding into the floor; the three-seat wagons both back seat and center seat fold to the floor with split-seat arrangement on the middle seat that one-third or two-thirds of seat can remain in place for passengers. New Front End Styling Front-end styling is similar all three series. A brilliant way around bumper of sturdy chrome-plated steel protects the front end of the car. The integrated front bumper and give the car a spirited power look. Bomb type bumper guards air-scoop crescents above headlamps add fleet appearance of the car. The head-lamp matches the color of the front ends. The Pontiac Silver Streaks one of the most distinctive features in the automobile industry. They flow from the back across the hood to the shield and are depressed into hood on each side of the new ornament. The slots between Silver Streaks blend with color of the hood.
