A Message For Memorial Day
The Price of Freedom
by Billy Graham
Most Americans are inclined to take their blood-bought freedom for granted. How lustily, in times of war, do we sing songs of patriotism, exhibit due respect to the boys in uniform, and pray for peace. Yet, when the smoke of conflict subsides, our respect and regard for those who bore the brunt of war's perilous sword quickly wanes and dies. But true gratitude for an earned peace should be as perpetual as is our freedom. The young men who gave the best years of their lives, often at the peril of life and limb, should always be remembered by the citizens of our nation. And that memory should not find expression in a shallow sentimentality, but in making adequate provision for these who have so willingly stood in war's gap and subjected their youthful bodies to the onslaughts of the enemy.
Freedom of any sort, it seems, never comes cheap. Our spiritual freedom was purchased at terrific cost by the most splendid youth that ever walked the shores of time, Jesus Christ the Son of God. It hardly seemed right that He of all men should die in the very prime of life and at the peak of His usefulness! But, in the wisdom of God, only those who are ready, able and willing, are called upon to bring life and liberty to those who are unable to secure it for themselves. In the ease of spiritual freedom, there was only One in heaven and earth who was equal to the task, and that was Jesus Christ.
When our national freedom was jeopardized, only the young, the strong, the very best of our society, were equal to the task. After World War I, 300,000 men returned home disabled, handicapped, or ill. World War II counted the disabled service men in the hundreds of thousands, and the Korean War added many thousands more. It is estimated that by 1960 there will be 4,000,000 disabled veterans in America.
As a group, they have been self-sacrificing, counting the price they paid as a debt they rightly owed. Most of them are like the recruit who asked the recruiting officer in World War II:
When our national freedom was jeopardized, only the young,
the strong, the very best of our society, were equal to the task.
After World War I, 300,000 men returned home disabled, handicapped, or ill. World War II counted the disabled service men in the hundreds of thousands, and the Korean War added many thousands more. It is estimated that by 1960 there will be 4,000,000 disabled veterans in America.
As a group, they have been self-sacrificing, counting the price they paid as a debt they rightly owed. Most of them are like the recruit who asked the recruiting officer in World War II:
"If I fight, Sir, what will be my reward?"
Swiftly came the blunt answer: "Wounds, scars and perhaps death. But remember, that through your wounds America will remain free."
"That's enough," said the boy, "sign me up."
This is the spirit of the veteran—the spirit of the true soldier. But we, who profited so greatly by their sacrifice, must not forget the debt we owe these noble men who bear wounds that well might have been our own.
On this Memorial Day it is fitting and proper that our thoughts should not only be with those who were killed on the fields of battle, but that we should remember those who were disabled in freedom's conflict. We should resolve to pray for them and their families, use every means at our command to make their lives richer and fuller, and finally, that we should rededicate ourselves to the great principles of freedom for which they exposed themselves so willingly; that these Disabled American Veterans shall not have been wounded in vain.

82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THE
ANAHEIM
Vol. LXXXIII—Anaheim, Orange County, Calif. 11 T
Claimants to Mining Claims Notified Of Public Regulation Regulating Land Uses
Forest Supervisor Stanley R. Stevenson of the Cleveland National Forest announces that a publication notice to all mineral claimants involving mining claims located upon certain national forest land in Orange County, will commence May 30, 1957, in the Anaheim Gazette. The publication will run for nine consecutive weeks as provided for under Section 5 of the Multiple Use Mining Act passed the 84th Congress, July 23, 1955.
This Act, commonly known as Public Law 167, amends the Act of July 31, 1947 (61 Stat. 681), and the mining laws to provide for multiple use of the surface of the same tracts of public land, provided such use does not endanger or materially interfere with prospecting mining, processing operations or uses reasonably incident thereto. The Act also provides the Government with a procedure by which abandoned, inactive, invalid and unidentifiable claims located prior to the Act may be brought under the category of a claim located subsequent to the Act. The publication of notice is a part of this procedure.
Nothing in the Act affects the mineral rights of any mining claimant; nor does it prevent a mining claimant from obtaining patent under the mining laws of the United States. Nothing in the Act or procedures thereunder can affect these rights.
Cancer Crusade Reaches Drive Goal
The 1957 Cancer Crusade is over the top today in Orange County.
More than $56,120 have been turned in through local units of the Orange County Branch of the American Cancer Society. The goal was $55,000.
Some units still have additional funds to add to the over-the-top total, according to J. Franklin Sullivan of Buena Park, general chairman of the two-fold educational and fund-raising drive.
Sullivan delivered his report on the successful campaign.
Special Stamp Cancellation Started Monday
The first use of the "Anaheim Centennial'1857-1957" canceled started at 3 p.m. Monday according to Acting Postmaster Marshall McFlee, chairman of event.
The first letters were cancelled by Mayor Charles A. Peale which were invitations to Centennial Celebration during the week of September 8th. These were sent to President Eisenhower, Vice-President N. Senator Kuchel, his mother Henry Kuchel; Senator Knowlton California's Representative J. B. Utt; Governor Knight and state and Federal representatives.
Local officials and many heim citizens watched the event at the Anaheim Post Office mail deposited between 3 p.m. midnight was cancelled with new cancelling die and was due May 27.

Nothing in the Act affects the mineral rights of any mining claimant; nor does it prevent a mining claimant from obtaining patent under the mining laws of the United States. Nothing in the Act or procedures thereunder permits the elimination or cancellation of any mining claim. Thus the new law enables the Government to carry on a multiple land use program and at the same time protect the rights of miners to prospect for and develop mineral resources.
Briefly outlined below are the various alternatives afforded a mining claimant affected by the publication. The public notice gives each claimant 150 days after the date of the first publication to do one of three things: (1) Ignore the notice; (2) Walve surface rights on the claim; or (3) File a verified (Notarized) statement asserting validity of his claim predating passage of the law.
In the first instance, ignoring the notice, the claimant does not lose any of his mining rights, including the surface rights necessary for mining, nor his right to patent the claim under the mines United States would obtain, ing laws. The only change is that without further procedure, the same right to manage and dispose of the vegetative resources on his claim as it has on claims located after July 23, 1955.
In the second case the claimant may execute a waiver relinquishing surface rights on his claim. This has the same result as ignoring the notice. The United States has the same right to manage and dispose of the vegetative resources on the claim as it has on a claim located after July 23, 1955.
Thirdly, if the claimant files a claim will be examined by a verified (Notarized) statement qualified mineral expert. If the examination shows there is no question as to the validity and effectiveness of asserted surface rights, the Forest Service will enter into a stipulation with the more than $56,120 have been turned in through local units of the Orange County Branch of the American Cancer Society. The goal was $55,000.
Some units still have additional funds to add to the over-the-top total, according to J. Franklin Sullivan of Buena Park, general chairman of the two-fold educational and fund-raising drive.
Sullivan delivered his report on the successful campaign as part of the first spring luncheon meeting of Unit Volunteers, held Thursday at the Gourmet Restaurant. Final few dollars to push the total over the top were reported to him only a few minutes before he spoke, Sullivan said.
Volunteer officials of local units of the American Cancer Society from throughout the Orange County Branch attended the meeting, called by Mrs. Samuel Gendel, branch director of volunteers.
Keynoter at the session was Mrs. Frank Shapiro of Los Angeles, vice president of the California Division of ACS and director of volunteers for southern California.
J. Craig Mackerras, branch president, opened the meeting over which Mrs. Gendel presided.
Unit reports were heard from the following unit chairmen in cities indicated: Mrs. Richard Wineland, Anaheim; Mrs. Donald Shields, Brea; Mrs. Karl H. Brenner, Buena Park; Mrs. L. W Pierce, Costa Mesa; Mrs. Samuel Combs, Dana Point; Mrs. Henry W. Pullman, Fullerton; Mrs. A. H.

H.P. Cautions Drivers to Keep Car Good Repair
Be sure your car is in safe mechanical condition, warns the California Highway Patrol. There were 5,200 vehicles involved in fatal and injury traffic accidents in 1956 when found to have been defective prior to the collisions.
"Practically all traffic accidents caused by vehicle defect could be prevented," Caldwell continued. "Checking by qualified mechanics, adequate adjustments and repairs when necessary will help keep your car in safe mechanical condition."
Under the direction of Rev. L. F. Webber, the Presbyterians organized Anaheim's first church, Rev. Webber served as their pastor until 1876. The church building was erected in 1872, at a total cost of $3500. Rev. Webber was also the founder of the City of Westminster. This information is set forth on the tombstone that marks his grave in Anaheim Cemetery on East Sycamore Street which is engraved with the following tribute: "Sacred to the Memory of Reverend L. P. Webber. Born in Salem County, N. J. Died in Anaheim, California Sept. 25, 1874. He graduated at Williams College, Massachusetts in 1856. Studied Theology at Lane Seminary. Was licensed by the Presbytery of Dayton 1860. Preached in Indiana until he came to California in 1863. He faithfully labored in Austin, Nev., Santa Clara and Anaheim, California. Founded the Westminster Colony and church. A true man. His memory and works will endure when this stone is wasted away."
St Michael's Episcopal Church was organized in 1875. Previous to that they held services in Enterprise Hall at Los Angeles and Chartres Street. In 1876 they built a church which cost $3600.
The Roman Catholic society was organized in 1876 and their church building completed in 1879, at a cost of $1000.
The German Methodist Episcopal church was established in 1881.
Today there are 44 churches in the City of Anaheim each one crowded to overflowing.
The early church people were entirely dependent upon passing missionaries for their religious lectures, in the days when they met in the offices of the Anaheim Water Company's adobe building on West Center. The Water Company's office, where actually the first church services in Anaheim were held, also served for the business of the company and for town meetings.
