EDITORIALS Cooperation in Industrial Development The story of fabulous Orange County, "the fastest growing county in the nation's fastest growing state", will be told in New York and Washington toward the end of this month, it was decided by the Orange County Industrial Development Committee. That is the leading paragraph from a release received at The Gazette office this week which finally ended up as a direct plea for $3000 in funds to send a few selected men to the east. The Committee has the blessing of Supervisor William J. Phillips, who, by the way, is doing his best and going far beyond the "call of duty" to serve his Orange County district, the Third Supervisorial District. Phillips was sent to the east a few months ago with a group of city and Chamber of Commerce representatives. Reports were that "a good time was had by all," with the exception of that live wire Chamber of Commerce Secretary at La Habra, Herbert Herberts. Herberts contacted every one of the industrial representatives, got their names and firm connections, and has followed up these leads. Results from some of the other travelers have been discouraging. Supervisor Phillips, with the influence of his position could do the county an invaluable service by coordinating these safaris through a long-standing county organization, the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County. This organization, under the long and dynamic leadership of Wm. Gallienne, serves all of Orange County and all of its various interests. It is made up of leading industrial and business men from all cities in Orange County and who know their cities need and know how to work. IN THE DAY OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago... January—1883 A month or more ago there was quite an exodus of sheep men from this vicinity. They and their flocks started forth in search of pastures green. But they are returning, one by one, having found that the grass is more plentiful here than in other parts of the state. Their case is parallel to that of the Massachusetts man who announced his determination to emigrate to some Republican state if Ben Butler was elected governor of the commonwealth in the recent election on unhappy memory (to Republic cans). On the morning after election he began preparations for his removal in accordance with his resolve, but happened to glance over the election returns through out the country in the telegraph columns of the local newspapers. As the nature of the return dawned upon him he said to his wife with a sigh: "We'll have to stay here Jemima — there's no place to go." So although it is undeniable that grass is short here, the sheep owners must grin an bear it, as there is no place for him to go. It is said that the channel at Anaheim Landing has deepened by the action of the tides this winter and that it is in better Supervisor Phillips, with the influence of his position could do the county an invaluable service by coordinating these safaris through a long-standing county organization, the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County. This organization, under the long and dynamic leadership of Wm. Gallienne, serves all of Orange County and all of its various interests. It is made up of leading industrial and business men from all cities in Orange County and who know what their cities need and know how to exploit their industrial possibilities. Each city in Orange County has its industrial committee of the Chamber of Commerce. These committees are naturally, reporting to their own Chambers of Commerce. Chamber of Commerce presidents then coordinate their thinking with the Associated Chambers of Commerce. Isn't it only natural that the proper leadership and initiative should come through the Associated Chambers of Commerce? The more groups that are sent to plug for Orange County, the more attention it will receive, this is true. But for various groups to be trying to raise money for individual efforts will only tend to bring confusion to our county and our divided efforts will not have such a strong effect. Let's get together, boys. Let's put the $3,000 into the Associated Chambers of Commerce work and have a united front presented to the industrial boys in the east. Anaheim Is A Big Boy Now Anaheim, the largest city in Orange County, 78,376 strong. It's hard to believe that Anaheim, the oldest city in Orange County, has now become its largest city. Records show that in 1951 Anaheim's population was 16,000. Anaheim has attracted homeowners to purchase homes within its city limits for various reasons. Job security is perhaps high on the list of these reasons. Orange County is the fastest growing county in California and in the nation. It is the bright spot on the national industrial map. Those who have decided to make Anaheim their home town are proud of the fact that Anaheim is a city of homes, schools and churches. Industrial sites have been located in strategic sections which have not reduced the value of residential property. Perhaps the biggest worry in Anaheim is "Where are all these 78,000 people going to do their buying?" Anaheim's Downtown merchants are pushing toward a modernization program and they have gone a long way to increase parking facilities for Downtown shoppers. On the other hand, new shopping centers are springing up around the perifery. It is said that the channel at Anaheim Landing has deepened by the action of the tides this winter and that it is in better shape than it has been for many years. Perhaps the time will come when the Landing will be as important as a shipping port as in days ago. Stem cut orange fruit is in higher demand than that which is plucked. Neat and well-packed packages are coming into demand in San Francisco, and careful discrimination in marking and shipping the various grades is essential to the best prices asked and received by commission merchants in handling the fruit. Mr. J. W. Shanklin has arranged to set out one hundred acres of vineyard on his land east of town. The vines will be mostly of the Muscat variety. Mr. W. M. McFadden will superintend the work and in order to give it personable attention he has resigned his position as principal of the Los Nietos school. The erection of a farm building 50x40 feet on the lot south of the Gazette office will begin next week. It will be occupied as a blacksmith shop and wagon shop by the Messrs. White, S. B. Smith is the contractor for the building. Mr. R. T. Harris has opened a general merchandise store about one and one quarter miles west of Garden Grove. It is a flourishing neighborhood and he will probably meet with success. The freight shipments from the Anaheim depot for the past week were: Carload lots, 108,380 pounds; small lots, 46,745 pounds; total 155,123 pounds. The above includes three carloads of wine. J. L. Garnsey of Santa Ana will Perhaps the biggest worry in Anaheim is "Where are all these 78,000 people going to do their buying?" Anaheim's Downtown merchants are pushing toward a modernization program and they have gone a long way to increase parking facilities for Downtown shoppers. On the other hand, new shopping centers are springing up around the perifery. These shopping centers offer easy access to parking lots and angle parking, which drivers appreciate, and no traffic while parking. The shopping centers offer a variety of goods in one shopping area and shoppers are attracted to the mass of bright lights and new merchandising methods. This is Anaheim today. Its industrial plants provide big payrolls every month that were unthought of in 1951. Yet Anaheim today has not reached its ultimate. The sky is the limit and while Orange County is the white spot in the nation, Anaheim may well be called the center of the white spot. Anaheim residents say it with considerable pride when asked their home town. Anaheim, thanks partly to Disneyland, is a nationally known city. Anaheim is proud of its many outstanding features and since it is the host city to hundreds of conventions, it behooves all of us to keep improving Anaheim and make it worthy of our praise. EMMA PIEL Emma Piel, 81, a native of Indiana and a resident of Anaheim for three years at 1499 E. Center St., died Tuesday afternoon at the Parkview Convalescent Hospital after a lingering illness. She leaves one son, Norman J. Piel and one daughter Mrs. Harriet Piel Vet Koetter both of Anaheim.

Garnsey of Santa Ana will deliver brick in Anaheim at $10 per thousand. Orders may be left with Saxton & Cox. Theo. Lynill Esq. has received the appointment of clerk of the Senate Judiciary Committee. L. A. Kelly last week bought from Bank of Anaheim 120 acres southwest of town and Fisher Bros. 20 acres in the Collier tract for $1500. Hay is held at $20 per ton in Los Angeles. 50 Years Ago... January—1908 The protracted drought which has prevailed throughout Southern California during the winter was broken this week by copious showers netting 4.04 inches. In the mountains from 6 to 10 inches fell. Up to Wednesday night of last week, no rain had fallen for several weeks and the ground was dry. Less than three inches had previously fallen and of this half had fallen in October doing considerable damage. The early rain ruined the tomato and chili pepper crops. Then the drouth began and several thousand acres of sugar beets, cabbage and early sown grain began to show the effects of the dry weather. This THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS.

Unlike the rest of the body, which usually attains full growth in the teens or early twenties, the heart continues to increase in size until about the age of 50. Strangely, this increase is more marked in men than women. According to "Hemo the Magnificent" the larger the animal, the slower the heart beat. The heart of a humming bird will beat about an elephant only 25. The human heart beats about 75 times every 60 seconds. Heart Grows Larger Perry said, one objective of the Bell System science series is to help give the public a better understanding of the important role science plays in everyday life. Other programs in the series already telecast include "Our Mr. Sun," "The Strange Case of the Cosmic Rays," and last month's program about weather, "The Unchained Goddess." New, wide and handsome!
