IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... January—1882 The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday afternoon. The Town Attorney filed a written opinion to the effect that the Board had no power to grant a franchise for a railway through the streets of the town. The petition of S. H. Slaught for such franchise was therefore denied. An opinion from the attorney was also read in regard to the power of the Board to meddle with the ditch on Broadway. The opinion was to the effect that the Board has not such power over the ditch and the land through which it runs being the property of the Anaheim Water Company. A communication was read from the Anaheim Fire Company, refusing to transfer their interest in the truck, hose, etc., until the company disbands. A petition was received from the same company asking the Board to remit the road poll tax due from the members. The Marshal was instructed to issue road poll tax receipts to members of the Fire Company whenever they transfer the fire truck, hose, etc., as required by the resolution adopted on December 6th, 1881. Mr. C. Bennerscheldt was given the position of town engineer. Mr. H. C. Gade is now driving a truck such as is used in cities. He designs to use in the draymachine. The A. Guy Smith & Co. have received a carload of a new kind of orange boxes. They are two feet in length and one foot in height and a partition divides the box into two squares of a foot each way. They are the style of boxes used in the European orange trade. Mr. R. H. Gilman, superintendent of the Semi-Tropic Company's orchard is now shipping a splendid lot of lemons to San Francisco. The lemons are free from all bitterness and are equal in every respect to the best imported and a guarantee to that effect is printed on every paper wrapper in which each lemon is enveloped. This method of marketing oranges and lemons gives very satisfactory results and more than compensates for the increased cost and trouble. The ball given by "Our Boys" on Friday night, of last week is described as being utterly superlative—and the supper at the Anaheim hotel was awarded high praise. The party was very successful and should be repeated soon. The fire bell is now located on a tower on the Town's lot on Hermine street. The lot is to be further improved by planting around it a row of trees, and the public watering trough will be placed thereon in a few days. (Hermine 50 Years Ago... January—1907 Rains during the week have brought the precipitation to 10.0 inches as against 5.65 to date last year. Not in many years has such heavy rain fallen as during the past six days. Beginning at hour or two after midnight on Friday night rain fell in heavier showers almost uninterrupted until daylight. At 7 o'clock Saturday Mr. Dickel's gauge measured 1.11 inches for the storm. Showers on Saturday added 0.0 to the total. On Sunday night 8:30 fell and on Monday to noon 1:15 descended. The last deluge caused a miniature flood to run down the city streets and crosswalks were for the most part impassable. Some were fordable and business was not entirely suspended. People headed for the postoffice between 10 and 11 o'clock had to turn back as water ran over the crossings to a depth of six inches. The gutters ran like millracés and thoroughfares were covered with sheets of running water. The downpour brought the total for the storm up to 3.33 inches. At noon on Monday report reached town that the Santa Fork track between this city and Fullerton was submerged at the bottom north of town and that water was running over the bridge. The river and sandwash were filled but no overflow occurred and no damage resulted. At Fullerton water ran over the low place south of town running through the lumber yard and the packing houses. Walnut orchards were flooded. No such precipitation had been recorded since the winter The Marshal was instructed to issue road poll tax receipts to members of the Fire Company whenever they transfer the fire truck, hose, etc., as required by the resolution adopted on December 6th, 1881. Mr. C. Bennerscheidt was given the position of town engineer. Mr. H. C. Gade is now driving a truck such as is used in cities. He designs to use in the drayage of furniture, musical instruments, etc., reserving his heavier truck for heavier work. The truck was built by Mr. H. Huden and is a creditable piece of workmanship.

She also holds a shield with a medical emblem symbolizing the partnership between civilian volunteers and the medical and science professions in the battle against polio. The legend reads, "Honoring those who helped fight polio." 4,000,000 Volunteers This recognition by the U.S. Government points up the work of some 4,000,000 March of Dimes volunteers for the last 19 years in supplying financial aid to polio research and patient care. The crowning achievement of the program was the development of Salk vaccine. However, as March of Dimes spokesmen warned, much remains to be done despite the protective power of the vaccine. There are 50,000 Americans disabled by polio who may still need treatment and rehabilitation. Thousands of trained personnel to administer care are needed. In addition, research must be continued to improve the vaccine and develop new treatment techniques for the disabled. These are the needs to be met out of proceeds of the 1,957 March of Dimes. Officials of the current drive urge residents to use the new commemorative stamps to send in March of Dimes Mailers—the little cards that hold coins and bills—to help finish the polio job. SHOW THIS TO YOUR HUSBAND! Tell him it's you without an electric clothes dryer — straining under the 5000 pounds of wet wash you lug to the clothes line every year. Tell him the cure: a shiny new electric dryer. It saves you the lifting and bending and dependence on the weather. It saves clothes—they dry fluffier, cleaner and fresher smelling. They last longer, too. Tell him it has to be an electric dryer, of course. Because it's so safe. Because you simply plug it in. And because it costs less to buy!
