Just read somewhere that Anaheim might have a branch library. Dear Library Board: let's take care of the present one, first. I've had a request in for more than two months for a popular book. How long should I wait, with patience? Mad? I'll say I was. Some sweet young thing called me at my residence last night at 9:30 and asked me to subscribe to a magazine. Yep, at 9:30. What is the time limit for such calls? Anway, there'll be a lot more requests for unlisted numbers if this type of soliciting continues. Bob Waigli, California Bank handshaker and a member of the local Lions Club, was doing a little handshaking at The Gazette office this week. Bob comes from Indiana where winters meant snow shoveling and wading in the stuff, knee deep, to get to work some mornings. Like me, he says he's had enough of that. Mrs. Ray Alden did a very nice thing as a Christmas gift for her husband. She bought him a Rotary ring with the emblem mounted in black onyx. In the center of the emblem is a diamond. And this Assistance League of Anaheim Semi-Annual Report Given at Tea A most beautiful tea honoring all of the membership of the Assistance League of Anaheim including active, associate-sustaining-life and Junior Auxiliary was presided over by Mrs. C. Beatty Neighbors, president. The tea under the chairmanship of Mrs. Claude Sympson was elegant. An early spring theme was used on the tea table and about the League Center. Gleaning silver with pastel candles and spring flowers gave a beautiful background for the dainty refreshments also carried in the spring pastel colors. About 150 were present. Pouring was the first president Mrs. J-Ben Kaulbars and the associate chairman, Mrs. Jeanne Larson. A short business meeting included semi-annual reports of chairmen as Mrs. R.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 63 Years Ago... January 16, 1896 The annual meeting of the street car stockholders will be held at the company's office in the Kroeger block, on the 26th inst., at 10 a.m. when the new board of directors will be elected. At the meeting of the city trustees Thursday evening, Clerk Nebelung reported in the matter of the petition for a gravel sidewalk on Los Angeles street, from Center to Broadway; that the outlook was favorable. He had interviewed Mr. Husman, who informed him he would give a deed for sidewalk purposes, provided the city would pay for moving back the houses that now set out on the line of walk. Other property owners on the street expressed themselves as being in favor of the sidewalk and the committee was continued. The rumor is revived that the Southern Pacific is soon to build its line uptown and begin work on its freight and passenger depot on Santa Ana street, either at the corner of Los Angeles or Lemon. Contractor McWilliams has a force of men at work on Mr. Shanley's new residence on Lemon street, and the building is rapidly assuming the proportions of an architecturally handsome, as well as a substantially constructed, dwelling. Mr. Shanley is a newcomer here, but he shows his confidence in the town by a very substantial improvement. In the list of real estate transfers this morning appears the sale by Tim Boege to Fritz Ruhman 88 Years Ago... January 14, 1871 On Wednesday last a large number of farmers of Anaheim township collected at the Planters hotel in this city to arrange a plan of united action against the stock-range curse with which they have been so long afflicted. The meeting was organized by the calling of J. B. Stone to preside, and Mr. M. W. Kern, secretary. A committee on resolutions was appointed after which the meeting adjourned until Thursday evening at the office of Justice Davis, when ringing resolutions were adopted, of which the following is a part: "Whereas Abel Stearns, one of the members of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land company, has utterly disregarded the obligations and duties imposed upon him as a member of the said company by allowing his horses to run over farms and destroy our crops, thereby robbing us of the fruits of our labor; "Therefore, be it resolved that in the trespass of law cannot be sustained and made applicable to this section of the county, for which it was intended, we must and will protect ourselves. Resolved that Don Abel Stearns and all others be and they are hereby notified to remove all horses from the vicinity within ten days, or a committee of one hundred able-bodied men will be appointed to dispose of same. To this end we pledge our lives, our property and our social honor." We understand from Mr. John Fischer that the Anaheim Water company is entitled to one-half of the volume of water that flows in the Santa Ana river, and that they are entitled to that flow at all seasons of the year, and at all hours of the night. If this be the case why does not that company When Joe Cannon was speaker of the house he is said to have remarked, after calling for a voice vote, "The ayes made the loudest noise but the nays have it." If there is a spot remover on the market that will take the littlest, tiny, wee spot of Roquefort dressing off a coat lapel I want a sample of it. Yep, that's right, all varieties I have ever found make the spot show brighter. They tell me that Mikoyan, USSR vice president, didn't spend a dime of his own money while in this country. He kept hollering, "Mikoyan, Mikoyan, Mikoyan," so much that no one dared take a coin from him. In the list of real estate transfers this morning appears the sale by Tim Boege to Fritz Ruhman of his half interest in the lot on Los Angeles street, upon which it is the intention of the new proprietor to erect a large brick block. The plans for the building will be ready in a few days when bids for its construction will be asked for and work begun as soon as possible. Clarence Groat has a large force of men engaged in the cementing of the south side ditch running from the cement ditch on East street. The ditch will be run to Katella and will be about four miles long. The committee of the Anaheim Union Water company appointed to receive proxies and select men for the position of directors, officially reported that Max Nebelung, Chester Spencer, and Ernest Browning had been selected for directors. The report is current that a new bank is to be started in Anaheim. Robert Taylor, the well known South Riverside banker and business man, is reported to be interested in the new institution. We understand from Mr. John Fischer that the Anaheim Water company is entitled to one-half of the volume of water that flows in the Santa Ana river, and that they are entitled to that flow at all seasons of the year, and at all hours of the night. If this be the case why does not that company let their water flow? Does it hurt the ditches? Does it hurt anything or anybody? We ask in all seriousness, if it would not be better to let the water flow along through the ditches, through the city and go on to the parched ranches of the outside men west of the city, and prosper these men, rather than to shut off that portion of the earth which is now crying aloud for very thirst. Notice is hereby given to all parties allowing stock running loose on the Santa Gertrude's ranch, that insomuch as we have found the law insufficient to prevent trespassing, we, the V. C. of Los Nietos, shall take effectual means to rid ourselves of the mustang nuisance. By order of the executive committee, Signed Secretary No. 1. On Monday, Messrs. Hubbard and Hunter to the U. S. Exchange opened their new home by giving a sumptuous public dinner. The well arranged table fairly groaned under the weight of the well seasoned meats, game and pastry prepared in the highest style of the culaine art. ANAHEIM 80 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1879 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Kuchel Is Assistant Minority Leader And on Many Important Committees WASHINGTON—U. S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California, vigorous worker in Congress for natural resources legislation, has been chosen Minority Whip in a reorganization of Republican forces in the upper chamber of the 86th Congress. Kuchel, who became California's senior senator only four days earlier, was the choice of the Republican conference by a margin of several votes after being put forward for a post in the party's high command by the progressives who are regarded as President Eisenhower's most faithful supporters. As Whip, the Californian will serve as assistant minority leader and be responsible for mobilizing Republican votes for questions on which the party take a formal position. He will be charged with knowing the probable position of all 34 Republicans on vital issues and assisting in arranging debate schedules and in overseeing the handling of legislation.

S. National Forests and National Parks. Kuchel is the author of the Air Pollution Act, under which the Federal Government embarked on a five-year program to assist in curbing "smog" and was co-author of legislation giving states an incentive for controlling billboards along the new Federal Interstate Highway System. During the fight over the highway program, the Californian was a leader in the drive to require payment of prevailing wages on road construction. In his first term in Congress he managed the Lease-Purchase Act which enabled the Federal Government to acquire urgently-needed post offices, court houses, and other new buildings on an installment plan.

He is survived by his wife, Gloria; a daughter, Lind- Jane; a son, James Myford; step-daughter, Mrs. Gay Brand; and a stepson, William White III. Statement By Irvine Company The Irvine Company released the following statement today: "Due to the wisdom and vision of James Irvine and his son Myford, the Irvine Company has been organized and administered with out too great a dependence upon any one individual. With such varied and extensive enterprises as carried out by the Irvine Company it has been mandatory that long range planning be effected, thus relieving the board and company officials of any urgency of decision in the present situation. It is to the lasting credit of Myford Irvine with the great dept of perception that the residence development of the ranch has reached its present state. Through the execution of the long term plans he made this development will be advanced. Mr. Irvine and the Board of Directors, with heavy representation by Orange Countians, have been unanimous in their policies and philosophies. This accounts for the continue rapid growth and prosperity of the company and assures that business will proceed without major changes, and that all contractual obligations will be honored, just as occurred following the death of James Irvine a decade ago. McFadden Is Vice President "It is to be noted that A. McFadden, well known and respected Orange County rancher vice-president of the company and has complete familiarity with the business. In addition, there are three assistant vice-presidents, Charles Wheeler, William Spurgeon II and Robert Long, all of whom have been in constant touch with the operation over a long period of time." No reason can be advanced for the action of Myford Irvine. The usual reasons for taking one life as heard across America."

Kuchel of California (right) as Minority Whip. 2-Day Conference For BPW Members Three outstanding speakers will be on the program of the two day conference of San Orco District, California Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, when it meets Jan. 17 and 18 at the Wilton Hotel in Long Beach.
