IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette 75 Years Ago... June 1883 The board of town trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. The bonds of B. Dreyfus as treasurer and E. T. Newbold as clerk were read and approved. The Justice of the Peace elect was required to file his bond. In the matter of the fire hydrant broken by Mr. Gade, the clerk was directed to notify him to replace the hydrant at the junction of Clementine and Broadway streets within one month, and the committee on public improvements was authorized to accept or reject the hydrant when placed. A petition was received from property owners on Broadway requesting the removal of the ditch now located in the middle of the street, to the north side of the street. Petition referred to the committee on public improvements. The ordinances introduced at the meeting held on May 28 were adopted and 250 copies ordered printed in pamphlet form. The marshal was instructed to increase the water rates of washhouses to $5 per month and to remove obstructing trees from Sycamore street. Ordinance No. XIX adopted at this meeting is for the purpose of regulating the conduct of minors etc., and is as follows: "The trustees of the town of Anaheim do ordain as follow: 50 Years Ago... June 1908 Examinations are in progress at the boy's school conducted by Dominican Sisters on Palm street, and the usual summer vacation will occur in a few days. There are more than 200 boys in the school and 21 sisters devote their time to them. A number of additions have been made to the building, yet the institution is not large enough to accommodate the increasing attendance. The pumping pit being dug for the Anaheim Union Water company at Wm. Crowther's southeast corner has reached a depth of 60 feet and reached water. Ben Cook is in charge of operations and will endeavor to sink the pit 40 feet below the water level. When completed the pit is expected to yield the largest flow of water in the county. Nick Hugo's horse while hitched in front of Mrs. Schauman's residence on Claudina street on Saturday afternoon took fright at a passing automobile and bolted down the road. The buggy collided with two young camphor trees in the parking breaking them down and removing two handsome trees from the sidewalk. The horse was captured without further mishan were adopted and 250 copies ordered in pamphlet form. The marshal was instructed to increase the water rates of wash-houses to $5 per month and to remove obstructing trees from Sycamore street. Ordinance No. XIX adopted at this meeting is for the purpose of regulating the conduct of minors etc., and is as follows: "The trustees of the town of Anaheim do ordain as follows: Section 1. That parents and guardians are required to see that children under eighteen years of age are in their homes at nine o'clock p.m. and any children found lounging, playing or running in the streets after nine o'clock are liable to arrest. Section 2: It shall be the duty of the marshal to arrest any girl or boy violating section one of this ordinance and return them to their homes, and on a repetition of the offense upon conviction thereof the parent becomes liable to a fine of $5 and costs. Section 3: This ordinance shall take effect from and after its passing." The ostrich farm is about as much of a novelty as ever, and there are daily pilgrimages to see the famous birds. It is quite the correct thing for strangers to come to Anaheim on the morning train, hire a fast team from Lewis' city stables, drive to the farm and return to Los Angeles on the afternoon train. (People now come to Anaheim to see Disneyland—seventy-five years ago they came to see the ostriches. Times have not changed so much in Anaheim, only the numbers of visitors have slightly increased.—Editor.) Business at the railroad depot is very good, averaging five carloads a day. During the past week there were eight carloads of wine, four of hay for Callco, and one of oranges. Dr. J. A. Maggard of Wellington, Kansas, is in town visiting his brother-in-law; Mr. Sidney Holman. There is five dollars at this office for the finder of a silver mounted Meerschaum pipe which Nick Hugo's horse while hitched in front of Mrs. Schauman's residence on Claudina street on Saturday afternoon took fright at a passing automobile and bolted down the road. The buggy collided with two young camphor trees in the parking breaking them down and removing two handsome trees from the sidewalk. The horse was captured without further mishap. L. E. Miller and wife will leave next week for Cleveland and other points east. This will be Mr. Miller's first visit home since coming to California seventeen years ago. They will be away until September. Misses Ruth Dutton, Edith Wallop and Alice Grimshaw go to Los Angeles today to attend the commencement exercises of the University of Southern California. Bobby Mills was an early morning visitor to Los Angeles yesterday. He flagged the limited and rode in on the new Chicago train. Mrs. Josephine Weisel and two daughters, Misses Hettie and Gretchen, departed on Monday for Milwaukee. They will be absent several months. Gerald Sandilands will next week begin the shipping of fifteen carloads of Valencia oranges from the Independent packing house near the Santa Fe depot. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Konig entertained at dinner on Sunday. Out of town guests were Miss Pfeiffer and Dr. Lucas of Ocean Park. Miss Ruth Enearl, teacher of the San Juan school is spending the summer vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Enearl of this city. Bob Roy of South street sold 500 laying hens in the Los Angeles market last week. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Kuchel, of Yorba Linda, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Dorothy Jean, to Robert J. Dankanyin, of Sharon, Pennsylvania. The bride-elect is a graduate of USC School of Dental Hygiene and is affiliated with AlphaGamma Delta and AlphaKappaGamma and is a member of the Trojan Junior Auxiliary. Dr. J. A. Maggard of Wellington, Kansas, is in town visiting his brother-in-law, Mr. Sidney Holman. There is five dollars at this office for the finder of a silver mounted Meerschaum pipe which was lost on the 3rd instant on Los Angeles Street. Samples of Odessa wheat from Burruel Point ranch have been brought to this office by John Bush. The wheat is five feet in height. To the oft repeated question: "How are the vineyards looking?" the reply is "first rate". The crop promises to be the heaviest in years, which will in a measure atone for the drop in the price of grapes which is predicted. It is, of course, too early to predict the exact price which will be paid for grapes the coming season, but there is no doubt it will be less than has been obtained for years past.

Here's one method: Become buddies with that person fidgeting the back seat of your car — or right there beside you, for that matter. "Two heads are better than one when they're behind the wheel of a car," the National Safety Council says. It believes that the so-called back-seat driver may hold the solution to the traffic problem. "We're in favor of motorists combining their driving knowledge and skill with the help of other passengers in the car can give," the Council says. "But with the proper spirit on both sides, back-seat drivers can be a real help," the Council says. 1. Let your wife, for example, who used to sit with nothing to do on a trip, be your copilot. Her observations—a car sneaking out from a side street, a quick turn in the road ahead—can take a big load off your mind. 2. Studies show that the irritated driver is more accident prone. The wife can help hubby cool off when he's upset over slow-moving cars or heavy traffic. 3. Giving other persons in your car something to keep them from getting bored makes the trip go faster for both of you—and keeps friction at a minimum. "Let her light your cigarette, keep down the roar of your kids in the back seat, and chart your course. There are a thousand and one things she can do for you while you're driving." "Successful businessmen well know the value of delegating authority.

He graduated from the School of Engineering and was affiliated with Kappa Delta Rho. He is now studying for his Masters degree in Business Administration at UCLA and is currently employed at Hughes Aircraft. The young couple have chosen August 9 as their wedding date.

"Let her light your cigarette, keep down the roar of your kids in the back seat, and chart your course. There are a thousand and one things she can do for you while you're driving. "Successful businessmen well know the value of delegating authority. Yet, behind the wheel of a car an executive will try to handle the whole job of driving—often with disastrous results. "Why do all the work, when minor parts of the job can be handled just as well by your wife?" the Council asks. "Bringing the back-seat driver up front with you — in other words, giving her responsibilities on a trip — eases your job of driving. "It may save a life — yours, or the life of the back-seat driver who used to get on your nerves." THE CITY THAT DIDN'T EXIST A MONTH AGO Every 30 days the U.S. adds as many new Americans as live in Norfolk, Va.—creating brand-new wants and needs which must be satisfied. What does this mean to you? It means greater opportunities than ever before—in all fields. Home construction is expected to double by 1975. Power companies plan to increase output 250% in the next 20 years to provide the power for scores of new labor-saving devices. Clothing suppliers predict a one-third increase in 7 years. With 11,000 new citizen-consumers born every day, there's a new wave of opportunity coming. 7 BIG REASONS FOR CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA'S FUTURE 1. More people... Four million babies yearly. U.S. population has doubled in last 50 years! And our prosperity curve has always followed our population curve. 2. More jobs... Though employment in some areas has fallen off, there are 15 million more jobs than in 1939—and there will be 22 million more in 1975 than today. 3. More income... Family income after taxes is at an all-time high of $5800—is expected to pass $7000 by 1975. 4. More production... U.S. production doubles every 20 years. We will require millions more people to make, sell and distribute our products. 5. More savings... Individual savings are at highest level ever—$340 billion—a record amount available for spending. 6. More research... $10 billion spent each year will pay off in more jobs, better living, whole new industries. 7. More needs...
