IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MR. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... October—1881 A curious state of affairs in regard to money matters is reported in Los Angeles. On Wednesday last a gentleman entered one of the banks with a bag of gold, almost as much as he could carry, to place on deposit, but the bank refused to take it. They simply placed it in the vault for safekeeping, subject to the gentleman's order. A bank president is also credited with saying that they had such a plethora of money that he had to lie awake nights to devise ways and means of investing it. Such incidents tell a plain story of our prosperity. The scarcity of laborers is severely felt here in Anaheim. The grape picking season has created an unusual demand for working men, and many of the vineyardists are put to sore straits to keep their crushers at work. The Chamber of Commerce has been revived in Los Angeles and the following Board of Directors have been elected for the term ending December 31: I. W. Hellman, J. P. Widney, I. N. Van Nuys, K. Cohn, J. de Barth Shorb, W. S. Maxwell, A. Hass, E. T. Spence, B. Dreyfus, A. M. Dodsworth and J. M. Griffith. Mr. T. J. J. Schmidt has sixty Berger vines three years old from which he sold this year 1475 pounds of grapes. This is at the rate of over ten tons to the acre, and as this variety of grape readily commands $20 per ton, it requires little calculation to demonstrate the enormous profit attending the cultivation of vines. There are 500 sacks of grain and 400 bales of wool still in the warehouse at Anaheim Landing, and more is being received daily. The ship "Bonita" took a lighter load of grain for San Francisco Tuesday. John A. McCoy, the eldest son of Dr. James McCoy of Westminster died near Spadra on Monday from the effects of an accident where he was working with a band of threshers. He was caught by a revolving cylinder and so badly injured that he died. The Australian papers are urging the New Zealand government to award the $2,500 prize offered for the successful shipment of bees to that Colony, to Judge Levering of this county who has, it seems, justly earned the bonus. The gentleman now has on file an order from New Zealand for two colonies of bumble bees. They are wanted in that country to distribute the bloom of clover, which the farmers will make an effort to raise. Twenty-four distilleries have gone into commission in this county. 50 Years Ago... October—1906 Harry Speilman won the Company E medal at the shoot last Sunday, making a total of 55. Miss Sophia Stroka, daughter of James Stroka of the Union Brewing Company, left on Tuesday on a trip to Bremen, Germany. John J. Hunter was in town from Fullerton on Monday. He is of the opinion that the walnut crop of his section will not be larger than that of last year. Julius Schneider has been driving about the third Supervisor district registering voters.

Thomas Strain of Placentia and his two daughters, Misses Margaret and Lily Strain returned from an extended tour of England, Ireland and the continent. Mrs. Lucy Banning, divorced wife of John Bradbury, was married at Santa Ana on Thursday last to Mace Greenleaf, actor at a Los Angeles theatre. The bride is well known throughout the state as a beautiful and vivacious girl, who has had rather a romantic career. She is wealthy in her own right. Her husband plays minor roles in melodramatic productions and gets a salary of $15 per week. Congressman S. C. Smith will open the campaign at the Opera house on Friday evening. This will be the first political meeting to be held here during the present campaign, and party workers plan to make it a rousing one. Congressman Smith is an able orator and will delight his auditors with an interesting and instructive discussion of matters of public moment now engaging the attention of the people. The city band delighted a large crowd on Saturday evening with the first of a series of open-air concerts which will be continued at intervals of a fortnight during the season. Under the leadership of Prof. Walter Crowther and with a complement of fifteen pieces, the band was at its best, and its numerous selections were loudly applauded. Next Sunday the band plays for the Knights of Columbus at the opening of their lodge in this city. Joseph Helmsen registered 340 voters to noon yesterday, when his supply of registration blanks gave out and he was compelled to disperse them. Now! Bacon and Eggs in 3½ minutes when you cook electrically! TODAY, NOTHING COOKS FASTER than a modern electric range. Bacon and eggs in 3½ minutes. Instant coffee in 60 seconds. Hot soup in 68 seconds. Fry, bake, broil or roast—electricity does it better. THERE'S MORE: your kitchen is cooler. And cleaner. Pots and pans stay mirror-bright. Kitchen walls look fresh and new twice as long. SOMEDAY YOU'LL COOK on a modern electric range. It's almost inevitable. But why postpone it? Edison rates are among the lowest in the country. What's more, after the warranty on your range expires, Edison services it free as long as you own it. (The only charge is for parts, when needed.) IF YOU'RE STILL COOKING the old way, it's simply because you haven't seen the new '56 electric ranges at your appliance dealer's. LIVE BETTER—ELECTRICALLY!

The Knights of Columbus will install their new lodge in this city next Sunday. Three special trains will bring visiting Knights from Los Angeles, Oxnard and San Bernardino to assist in installing the lodges. It is expected that 450 visitors will be there They will be met at the depot by the city band and will march to the Catholic church, where the Rev. Father Dubble will deliver the sermon.

While attending the University of Southern California, he broke the national collegiate mile record and held it for 15 years. It was during the 1936 Olympics in Berlin that he almost created an international incident when he tore down the swastika from in front of Hitler's Chancellory. During World War II he was better known as the Army Air Force captain who crashed at and spent 47 days adrift on small rubber life raft (Longest) and 2½ years a P.O.W. in Japan. In a starving condition he forced to run against well Japanese runners. He was not recognized as one of the ten men who suffered the most during World War II.

He was recalled as one of the ten men suffered the most during War II. to his disappearance, and frequently being officially dead he now has an Army soldier named in his honor, and athletic event at the Madison Garden, New York.

Following the war, Louis returned to Japan to bring the Christian message to those who inflicted atrocities upon him. He once vowed never to return to that country of unpleasant memories, but God burdened his heart, to even seeking the very guards who were directly responsible for his punishments. There will be no admission charge to hear Capt. Zamperini, but tickets are necessary which may be picked up at the Anaheim YMCA, 121 S. Citron St. This is necessary as seating is limited.
