The hiring of the manager is done at this annual meeting. Acquaint yourself with the new directors and also the fourteen holdover directors of your chamber of commerce. Offer them your cooperation and your constructive criticism. Be willing to serve on committees and spend some of your time to work with them. This is the only way progress can be made. Yes, congratulations to Anaheim and to its residents, pew and old. The Gazette hereby offers its services for chamber of commerce programs. We hope all Anaheim businessmen will join us in this cooperative enterprise. To Each, His Own There has been much talk about postage rates for first, second, and third class mail. And, like the weather, it has been only talk and little or nothing has been done about it. Unlike the weather, however, there is something that can, and should be done about postage rates in these United States. Mainly for the purpose of disseminating news to those interested in keeping up-to-date, a second class rate of postage was established and it applies to second class mail. IN THE DAY OF LONG AGE 25 Years Ago Extract from Anaheim Gazette of October 27—1932: Brewster Cox Kenyon, pioneer resident of Anaheim, who lived in Long Beach since 1875 was in the city Monday exhibiting a stereopticon view looking west on Center street from Angeles street in 1875. The view showed the old Planters Hall across the street, and west at tile was the Magnolia building which previously had been a Masonic temple. Further on we Goldstein's brewery. The Anaheim hotel could be seen in the dance. Across the street at junction of what is now Lenstreet began a long row of pop trees, running both north and west on the old Theodore ward Schmidt tract which tended to Palm street. Close to the Planters' hotel is shown residence of Phil Daves who owned a grocery store, at the southwest corner of Los Angeles and Center. The stereopticon picture was taken by H. T. Payne as a part of the Southern California society collection. It originally purchased by Edwin S. Saxton grandfather of Mr. Kenyon. Saxton, who was bothered by somnia, and had traveled in rope to cure it, was advised on the Riviera to come to Anaheim. To Each, His Own There has been much talk about postage rates for first, second, and third class mail. And, like the weather, it has been only talk and little or nothing has been done about it. Unlike the weather, however, there is something that can, and should be done about postage rates in these United States. Mainly for the purpose of disseminating news to those interested in keeping up-to-date, a second class rate of postage was established and it applies to second class mail. Second class mail at one time consisted mainly of newspapers, mostly weekly newspapers. Then came magazines and finally trade publications. All second class mail must contain a minimum of twenty-five per cent reading matter liberally construed as "news" in some cases. For this "news", the post office allows a special postage rate. This was to encourage information to be spread widely and freely. The cost of handling all classes of U. S. mail has increased out of proportion to the rate of postage charged. For that reason, some individuals point out that second class mail is not paying its way. And newspaper publishers are the first to challenge this statement, but, are just as quick to say, "let each class pay its own way". To prove this statement the following release was received this week from the C.N.P.A. news service of the California Newspaper Publishers Association. "The United States Post Office Department should charge various classes of mail the actual costs of handling and take steps to assume proper and efficient handling of all mail." “This recommendation has been made by the California Newspaper Publishers Association by action of its Board of Directors in reaffirming a previous stand that all media and classes of mail should pay their own way, whether it be first, second, third on any other class of mail or service the Post Office Department may render the public. “In a formal resolution, the CNPA also declared that no one class of mail should pay more than its individual cost of handling. It was recommended that an appraisal of all classes and groups or types of mail within a given class be made to determine whether or not certain ones are paying more than actual costs. “The Post Office Department should then make necessary adjustments and put into effect remedial measures to assure proper and efficient handling of all mail with proper charges, the CNPA urged. “Copies of the Resolution were ordered mailed to California Congressmen and Senators and to Postmaster General Summerfield.” Farmers and cattlemen in Panama do not have pockets in their trousers. To carry spare change, they have a “chacara”, a crocheted bag slung over one shoulder. The waters of the Dead Sea in Palestine contain about eight times as much salt as does ocean water. The stereopticon picture was taken by H. T. Payne as a part of the Southern California society collection. It originally purchased by Edwin S. Saxton grandfather of Mr. Kenyon. Saxton, who was bothered by somnia, and had traveled in Europe to cure it, was advised when on the Riviera to come to Aheim, which he did in 1872. few years later the whole family came West, with Brewster C. Kenyon arriving as a boy in 1883. He was originally christened Kenyon Brewster Cox, but his great mother wanted the family name of Kenyon to be preserved with the consent of his father he legally changed his name 1883, when 31 years of age. 50 Years Ago Nov. 27 — 1907 H.
