EDITORIALS Assurance for Depositors The recent discovery of 3½ million dollar misapplication of bank funds of the branch of the United States National Bank by a trusted vice president pointed out a serious lack of supervision on the part of the Banking department of our Government. This apparent discrepancy occurred before Long Beach National Bank was acquired by the San Diego institution. Quite naturally it has created a stir in financial circles and customers of the branch bank were alarmed. Depositors of the Long Beach National Bank of Lakewood can breathe easier in view of the fact that the assets of that institution were purchased by the strong United States National Bank. And of course the depositors of the institution in our trading area who bank in the branches at Orange, Fullerton, Costa Mesa and Buena Park may also be assured at the statement issued by the headquarters office in San Diego that adequate insurance coverage and a sufficient fidelity bond in addition to the strong assets of the mother bank will secure their deposits. An announcement was made on April 20, 1959 of the purchase of the assets of the Long Beach National Bank by the United States National Bank of San Diego, which was established in 1913. Normal audit procedures by the comptroller's department of The United States National Bank disclosed an apparent misapplication of funds. The alleged discrepancies IN THE DAY OF LONG AGO April 29, 1871 The election for municipal officers takes place in Anaheim Monday next. Many exciting features are presented, the opinions of the various candidates will be brought face to face but words are likely to ensure as words cannot decide an action, it is hoped that results calmly be left to an impartial well conducted ballot. The intention of candidates to fill one of public trust should always make the subject of grave erosion and their qualification for the positions which they are to fill ought to be carefully weighed by our citizens. A meeting is called at 9 o'clock this morning at Fischer's (Planter's hotel) to confer parties from Wilmington coming through shipments of wool, etc., to and from New York. It is said that Holliday's store have netted $75,000 per month; the coast carrying trade, and meeting is to take into consideration a method of direct shipment to eastern markets. On Thursday night the Arms brass band, accompanied by party of personal friends of Theodore Reiser, paid that bond in addition to the strong assets of the mother bank will secure their deposits An announcement was made on April 20, 1959 of the purchase of the assets of the Long Beach National Bank by the United States National Bank of San Diego, which was established in 1913. Normal audit procedures by the comptroller's department of The United States National Bank disclosed an apparent misapplication of funds. The alleged discrepancies are believed to have occurred over a period of years in the Long Beach National Bank of San Diego. The United States National Bank April 20, 1959 statement showed total cash and securities totaling $76,892,-985.46, along with a total resources of $135,522,098.50. Middle Group Indian Gift If an insurance agent offered to pay you a guaranteed $26 per month provided you pay premiums ranging from $75 to $100 per month, you'd slam the door in his face and probably call the men in the white coats. Yet, if you belong to the so called middle income group of taxpayers, the federal government might make that offer to you. A bill recently introduced into Congress proposes to use the government credit to erect 150,000 new rental homes and apartments for this middle income group. This is the group which the NAM and other national organizations say provide most of the nation's revenue. In other words, they would join the ranks of those subsidized by the United States. Isn't it about time we call a halt to this system of sending taxes to Washington, so they can deduct heavy administration and other expense, and return a small share to us in the form of subsidies? Our taxes have already been increased so we now have subsidies for rich states, poor states, rich farmers, poor farmers, poor Indians, large dams and small fishing holes. In fact, the middle income group is about the only segment of our society who isn't receiving subsidization. Wouldn't it be better if they remain as the bulwark and symbol of free enterprise in the business world. We can't afford to forget that all these subsidies makes government bigger and more costly. Everyone wants to live off the federal government, forgetting that our Government has no other source of revenue except from us and that our Constitution was designed so that the government should live off us. Now, we are rapidly approaching the point where every citizen will receive some sort of subsidy. And it will continue as long as the public is willing to pay Editor Barter of the Gift and a man named Lynch, for the Los Angeles Land pany, had a personal enquiry on the streets, the result of item appearing in the which we reprinted in one years ago column in 1946 again last week in our 88th ago column. The item referred Lynch as a liar, a coward dirty dog. In a column 88th ago today (April 29, 1871) menting on the affair it made clear who won the deal but we deduce from the book language used that this person was considerably more up. Referring to a notice on the door of a livery stall tacking the Gazette editor, says: "So we waxed wroth at that naughty card in the Gift We had in remembrance when Mr. Lynch with his size over-awed, and with speech berated Mr. Forbe agent of Don Abel Stearn we suspected that he was due to attempt to treat us in the manner. As we reserve the criticize any monopoly, or that of any public man, we yearn correct the false views of Lynch. The same day the case appeared in the Gazette, Mr. made a spirited attack up in the street. We fought fight ended — and the re-known." Preparations for building residence on Center streets are being made by Mr. We can't afford to forget that all these subsidies makes government bigger and more costly. Everyone wants to live off the federal government, forgetting that our Government has no other source of revenue except from us and that our Constitution was designed so that the government should live off us. Now, we are rapidly approaching the point where every citizen will receive some sort of subsidy. And it will continue as long as the public is willing to pay the taxes to pay subsidies to themselves. We're going to reach the point where we are making our livings by taking in each other's wash! Kuchel Fears for Highway Program United States Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California has expressed concern to California Governor Edmund G. Brown that the 13-year program for building the 41,000-mile Federal Interstate Highway Program may break down unless Congress promptly faces the critical question of providing sufficient funds to finance construction in years immediately ahead. In replying to Governor Brown's letter to all California members of Congress warning of "tragic" consequences from interruption of interstate highway system work, Kuchel said he hopes Congress will take concrete steps to prevent a breakdown. "Construction must be maintained on schedule," Kuchel told the California governor. The senior California senator voiced his own willingness to vote for President Eisenhower's recommendation for a temporary 15-cent increase in the gasoline tax earmarked to provide funds for the highway program but suggested that if this is not agreeable he hopes Congress "will give thoughtful consideration to funding this program, as an alternative, by the use of bonds." IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 63 Years Ago... April 29, 1871 The election for municipal offices takes place in Anaheim on Sunday next. Many exciting features are presented, the champions of the various candidates will be brought face to face, and it words are likely to ensue. But words cannot decide an election, it is hoped that results will firmly left to an impartial and well conducted ballot. The selection of candidates to fill offices public trust should always be made the subject of grave consideration and their qualifications for the positions which they desire fill ought to be carefully weighing by our citizens. A meeting is called at 9 o'clock this morning at Fischer's hotel (lanter's hotel) to confer with parties from Wilmington concerning through shipments of wine, oil, etc., to and from New York. It is said that Holliday's steamers have netted $75,000 per month in the coast carrying trade, and this meeting is to take into consideration a method of direct shipments to eastern markets. On Thursday night the Anaheim mass band, accompanied by a party of personal friends of Mr. Neodore Reiser, paid that gen- It was 9 o'clock before the honorable board of city trustees permitted themselves to be called to order at the meeting Tuesday evening, all on account of the absence of Mayor Rust. The other members of the board were promptly in their seats at 8 o'clock and Clarence Groat, the newly-elected trustee, was on hand occupying a seat in the parquette patiently waiting to be sworn in. While the minutes ticked themselves away and no presiding officer appeared, Clerk Nebelung went to the phone and for three minutes wrestled with it in an earnest endeavor to ring up central and find out if the mayor had been seen down town that evening. But central refused to respond. All was silent as the tomb, and after central had taken an effectual fall out of the clerk, that August official hung up the apparatus and announced that central had gone on a strike. He called the meeting to order and Mr. Lewis was elected as chairman. Two street cars, each filled with passengers, about train time, are not an uncommon sight — on the Now that the half-way mark in the current session has been passed it is possible to weigh a little bit more exactly the real effect of the changes in our operations approved by the voters last November. In many quarters, it is still a matter for debate as to whether the changes made by Proposition 9 did improve our legislative procedures at all. A comparison of a few fundamental figures between the 1957 session, last under the old law, and the present 1959 Legislature seems to indicate that efficiency has been improved by the change. The difference is graphically illustrated by the comparative figures for one basic factor, the number of bills introduced. In 1957, almost 6800 bills were introduced during the first month alone. This year, less than 2800 were put in the hopper during the first half of our session; or roughly three months. Important in "Production" Your Legislator at Work! Mother On Thursday night the Anaheim Mass band, accompanied by a party of personal friends of Mr. Neodore Reiser, paid that gen-man a complimentary midnight gremade at his residence. Mr. Reiser received them all with a corral welcome, and the hour waxed and the wine ceased to flow. The band performed a number of their specialties in which they have attained great perfection. Editor Barter of the Gazette, and a man named Lynch, agent for the Los Angeles Land company, had a personal encounter on the streets, the result of an item appearing in the paper, which we reprinted in our 75 years ago column in 1946, and again last week in our 88 years ago column. The item referred to Lynch as a liar, a coward and aarty dog. In a column 88 years ago (April 29, 1871), commenting on the affair it is not made clear who won the decision, but we deduce from the boastful language used that this Lynch person was considerably mussed. Referring to a notice posted in the door of a livery stable attacking the Gazette editor, Barter says: "So we waxed wroth and put that naughty card in the Gazette. We had in remembrance an oc-chen Mr. Lynch with his giant face over-awed, and with his speech berated Mr. Forbes, the agent of Don Abel Stearns, and he suspected that he was disposed attempt to treat us in the same manner. As we reserve the right to criticize any monopoly, or the acts of any public man, we yearned to correct the false views of Mr. Lynch. The same day the card appeared in the Gazette, Mr. Lynch made a spirited attack upon us on the street. We fought — the night ended — and the result is known." Preparations for building a fine residence on Center street west, were being made by Mr. Nicker- Two street cars, each filled with passengers, about train time, are not an uncommon sight — on the contrary they may be seen several times daily — on Center street any day now; while at Santa Ana one has to walk up town from the depot and back again on taking the train for home.. Two street cars are good enough. We call, what yer got, Santa Ana? Prof. Franz is making a dicker to go on the road with his team of ostriches, taking them east for exhibition purposes. He will put them upon the track at Santa Ana for a short time, and may accept an invitation to exhibit them at Coronado. After that he will strike out for the east and will exhibit the only pair of birds in harness. The professor informs us the birds go fine. He has lately had bits made for them to take in their mouths and he drives them to harness without difficulty, although one of them will lie down occasionally. He is having a new English cart made by Eastman and Colaf, and will be ready shortly to hit the road in good shape. Madame Modjeska, the distinguished tragedienne, and her husband, Count Bozenta, were expected in town last week for a protracted stay. The cottage next to Mr. Dickel's on Palm Street had been refitted and refurnished for the madame's occupancy and her inability to come because of ill health is cause for great regret on the part of her friends. L. Z. Huntington is rejoicing over the arrival of a new daughter at his home on Tuesday. At the Populist convention in town on Saturday, Chester Spencer, H. C. Gade and Dr. Paschall were elected delegates to the county convention. The budget bill is not expected to come out of committee hearing until sometime in May. Subcommittees of both the Senate and Assembly groups to which this bill was referred are still reviewing its details, and their recommendations must be submitted to the full committees before the life. Remember her with a Buy her a gift. Take her dinner. Do something. The excuse for forgetting Moth specially in this day of tech advancement. Important in "Production" This sizeable reduction in the number of bills we must handle has enabled us to make a considerable improvement in production (if I may be pardoned for using that word in connection with legislation). At the half-way mark in 1957, only one-third of the bills had even been heard in committee; less than 10 per cent had been passed by even one house. This year, more than two-thirds of the bills eligible for hearing have been considered by committees in the house of origin; more than 25 per cent have passed the first house. There are those, of course, who maintain that figures alone are not true indicators of our legislative progress. They allege that many bills are being forced through too hurriedly, without the interests involved. At least a partial answer to this content is the record of numerous hearings and amendments on many bills, as well as the sharp fights on the floors of the two houses when they come up for final consideration. Another part of the answer lies in the fact that the present system allows enough time for more careful drafting of bills. Major Bills Move Ahead Major bills in some important fields such as labor legislation, consumer protection, and taxation are making considerable progress throughout our legislative machinery. Others in these same fields are encountering more difficulties, however, and some may emerge in quiae different shape than that in which introduced. The budget bill is not expected to come out of committee hearing until sometime in May. Subcommittees of both the Senate and Assembly groups to which this bill was referred are still reviewing its details, and their recommendations must be submitted to the full committees before TOLU FERN EARLY Lulu Fern Early, 57, a native Ohio and a resident of California for thirteen years and of live for one year, living at 8651 Orange Avenue, died at St. Joseph's Hospital after an extended illness. She leaves her husband, Clement E. Early, two sons, Glenn A. Bussinger of Norwalk, and James G. Reavis of Warner Robbins, Georgia; a daughter, Mrs. David Malken of Frankin, Ohio; seven brothers, William Hubert, Ralph Floyd and Elmo Grimm all of Ohio, John Grimm of Long Beach andale Grimm of Redondo Beach.

Raymond, of 937 N. Dickle, Anaheim, died at Fullerton Convalescent Hospital Thursday after a prolonged illness, at the age of 87. She had been an Anaheim resident 18 years and was a member of the First Methodist Church of Anaheim; Anaheim Rebekah Lodge, and the Business and Professional Women's Club of Anaheim. She is survived by two sons, Alf of Los Angeles and Al of Anaheim, also by a daughter, Mrs. Millred Foster of Anaheim. Funeral services were held Monday in Melrose Abbey Chapel with Rev. Earl Kernahan officiating and entombment was made in Melrose Abbey Mausoleum. Backs, Troutman & Kaulibars directed. West Virginia was a part of Virginia until the beginning of the secession movement in 1861. It became a state in 1863. The budget bill is not expected to come out of committee hearing until sometime in May. Subcommittees of both the Senate and Assembly groups to which this bill was referred are still reviewing its details, and their recommendations must be submitted to the full committees before the bill can be reported to the floor of either house. One legislative field in which positive action may not occur for some time is water development. I have been constantly at work with various committees on the various bills and constitutional amendments relating to it, but new elements are constantly coming to the surface in our work. Recently an Assembly subcommittee reported that nuclear powered salt-water conversion plants may be the most feasible answer to the water shortage problem of our southern counties, although at the present time this is a very costly procedure. Bills may legally be introduced until the end of the session in June, but under the new law the last date which will enable action under the 30 day rule will be May 4. The next couple of weeks therefore will probably see the last of new bills. The first successful cotton mill in the United States was established at Pawtucket, R.I., in 1790. Canada had an estimated population of 17,048,000 on June 1, 1958. Montreal is the largest city with a population of 1,109,439. FORE GARDEN MANAGER ADB CALL RE 5-2206 Mother We see by the calendar that deserving lady is about to be honored. She's fisted one day a year—every year. Her once-a-year day in honor of her all-of-a-lifetime job. She's got a pretty rough job, too. She's in charge of the cut finger and black eye bursait, the runny nose department and hurt-feelings section. She listens to complaints with heart-tuned ears and gives out advice with love, smiles and cheers. She's been lovingly immortalized in song, speech and poem. But they never seem to capture the sunshine in her eyes. Or the tired tenderness in her smile. Or the loving lightness of her touch. Or the many times she chased the shadows away with a comforting word. Take the nicest things about all the nice women down through history and they still wouldn't equal this one woman in the world. Her day, Mother’s Day, is Sunday, May 10. Think of her on that one day as she has thought of you every day of your life. Remember her with a visit. Buy her a gift. Take her out to dinner. Do something. There’s no excuse for forgetting Mother, especially in this day of technological advancement. 2 - Anakhelm Gazette Anakhelm, Gulf, Thurs., May 7, 1956 South Dakota produces some gold.
