ANAHEIM MEMORIES 83 Years Ago—October, 1878 Bye Bye Blackbirds G. A. Collins of San Jacinto found from the water trough from which he waters 2500 sheep the contents of two bottle of strychnine! The bottles were found buried in the sand close by. He is on the track of the murderous wretch who perpetrated the dastardly deed. Blackbirds lay dead all around the trough. But the Crust Was Gold! Victor Montgomery was surprised yesterday morning to find in his post office box, directed to him, a roll of bread neatly wrapped in tissue paper and tied around with a blue ribbon. No explanation accompanied the precious package, but Mr. Montgomery supposes it is from an ambitious young Miss who desires to compete for the $50 prize offered for the best biscuit at the Fair and that it was sent to him to be few to keep his hand in.

The finance committee reported that the fund raised for the occasion was far in excess of that subscribed in former years, and in consequence the parade would be much better than those of former years.

Isaac Cohen has rented the rooms in the second story of the Odd Fellows' Hall building for use as sleeping apartments. Hot as H... An English clergyman, Rev. J. F. Furnis, has written a very interesting and graphic description of hell, "for the instruction of the young." Hell, he says, is situated 4000 miles from here at the middle of the earth, and is tenanted by millions and millions of tormented creatures who dwell in the midst of groans, screams, yells, cries, shouts, shrinks, roaring, hissings, howlings, wailings, fearful blasphemies and thunder, not to mention the sounds of oceans of tears running down from millions of eyes with a great splash on the floors of hell." The Rev. Furnis then says, the roof is red hot, the walls are red hot, the floor is like a thick sheet of red hot iron.

The Ladies' Euchre Club was entertained on Thursday afternoon by Mrs.' Sandilands, when a very enjoyable game of progressive euchre was played. The first prize, a handsome framed picture, was won by Mrs. Bennerscheidt. The second, a tabourette, was won by Mrs. Koig and the consolation by Mrs. Shanley. Refreshments were served during the afternoon by the hostess: 33 YEARS AGO October, 1928 Roaring '20s Party Miss Marie Louise Clark celebrated her ninth birthday on Saturday afternoon at the home of her mother, Mrs. Claudina Clark, who invited a number of little friends to a very delightful birthday party. Decorations were symbolic of Halloween and pumpkins and black cats and witches were prominent. After a jolly time spent playing games, refreshments were served, with birthday cake, ice cream and accompaniments. Mrs. Robert Rimpau and Mrs. Driving Safety Urged by Patrol The traditional Fall sound of school bells signals more than the return to class for students; it also cautions drivers to take that extra bit of care which could mean the difference between life and death for a child, says Capt. F. E. Winchell, commander of the California Highway Patrol's Anaheim Area. "Drivers may have become careless during summer months, breezing through school zones which were empty during vacation. Now that classes have started again, youngsters will be crossing streets near schools, children may dart unexpectedly from the playground, and bicyclists will be more numerous. "Drivers should remember two points," the captain said. "First, the speed limit in school zones is 25 miles per hour. Violation of that limit reduces your ability to cope with an emergency situation if it arises." "Second, youngsters frequently rush onto or across a street without thinking. You may have to 'think' for the child. Be prepared for his unexpected movements. "The moment you lose by reducing speed through a school zone may be the moment a child's life is spared because you were prepared for an emergency," the captain said. Knowland who forced instead of the governor, Knight's integrity leader cannot be disputed and Nixon through a "the race cannot be dispair" In fact anyone fails can easily see how much the governor's post. Anyone can remember such "debatable" action for the presidency. Many will remember national television hookup $18,000 from his Pasadena. Many, however, feel the public as much as the ticket with former President. This time Nixon had alone—with the burden mer governor and quality election. Nixon still has many his try at "power politics." The main issue is Knight has taken the new choice for governor, making for the June primary. This way Knight can run against the other choice in the November election by "power politics." Fortunately, the people guy," will elect the next formia and not the Los lican hierarchy. Knight cated.

Until the arrival of northern birds, which are due as soon as frosts set in along the northern coast in a month or so, he looks for little sport, but hopes to bag a ful birthday party.

After a jolly time spent playing games, refreshments were served, with birthday cake, ice cream and accompaniments. Mrs. Robert Rimpau and Mrs. Walter Rommel assisted Mrs. Clark. Roll Out the Barrel Eighty Lions Clubs of Southern California will send delegates to Anaheim for the annual spring convention to be held in April, as a result of the action of the fall session held at Glendale.

USE GAZETTE CLASSIFIED ADS Phone PR 2-1800 EDITORIAL GOP History Repeats In '62 California Republican Party history is repeating itself. Again the party hierarchy is trying to force a candidate to withdraw from an election. And again it is the same candidate who is being asked to take any other job than the one to which he is really suited. Former Gov. Goodwin Knight in 1961 finds himself in the same position as he did in 1958. Only several of the characters in the story have changed. This time it is a Richard Nixon emissary who has attempted to convince Knight to withdraw. In 1958 it was the party hierarchy and William Knowland who forced Knight to run for U.S. Senator instead of the governor's job. Integrity Knight's integrity as a former governor and state leader cannot be disputed. His recent charge that Richard Nixon through a "Mr. X" tried to force him out of the race cannot be disputed. Knowland who forced Knight to run for U.S. Senator instead of the governor's job. Integrity Knight's integrity as a former governor and state leader cannot be disputed. His recent charge that Richard Nixon through a "Mr. X" tried to force him out of the race cannot be disputed. In fact, anyone familiar with Nixon's background can easily see how much he wanted a clear field to seek the governor's post. Anyone can remember that this is not the first such "debatable" action by the defeated GOP candidate for the presidency. Many will remember that Nixon had to go on a national television hookup to explain how he came by $18,000 from his Pasadena friends. Many, however, felt it was not Nixon convincing the public as much as it was his running on the same ticket with former President Eisenhower. This time Nixon has no Eisenhower. He stands alone—with the burden of having tried to force a former governor and qualified candidate out of the 1962 election. Nixon still has many people in the GOP, despite his try at "power politics," who may still vote for him. Main Issue The main issue is that Democrats who believe Knight has taken the right stand, and is the proper choice for governor, must re-register as Republicans for the June primary. This way Knight can be assured the opportunity to run against the other party and give voters a proper choice in the November runoff instead of one dictated by "power politics." Fortunately, the people, you and I and "the little guy," will elect the next governor of the State of California and not the Los Angeles Times and the Republican hierarchy. Knight next November will be vindicated. The man who should have resided in the executive mansion for the past four years will again reside there with his gracious wife Virginia.

The dinner meeting is sponsored by the Orange County Central Committee. County GOP Seeks Local Candidates for Election Orange County's Republican organization is beginning a county-wide search for qualified candidates for the various offices up for election in November, 1962. Announcement of the program was made this week by C. W. Key, Fullerton, chairman of the GOP Central Committee. Better Letters Clinic Slated Business and professional men and women—and their sec- "We are seeking candidates for three State Assembly seats and for the new 34th Congressional District." Key said. He added that the County GOP organization is prepared to assist any persons interested in running for office. Key pointed out that Orange County now has three Assemblies. Christopher Barks Again Mayor George Christopher (San Francisco) says former Governor Goodwin J. Knight cannot be elected governor, and in the next breath says "if Knight is elected, and should I be elected lieutenant governor, I would resign the day after the election." Should the voters of California be so wrong in their judgment to select Christopher for Knight's running mate is inconceivable. And if perchance they did make that grievous error in judgment, Christopher's resignation would be welcomed by hundreds of thousands of Californians. The Republicans repudiated Christopher when he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 1958. They'll do it again in '62 if he does decide to run. Christopher has much explaining to do about his past. The accusation hurled at him by the Californian Magazine in the December 1960 issue has never been denied by him and we urge him to clear the air by suing the magazine for libel, or remove himself from the political arena. Attacking a man with the record that Knight has for integrity and ability is a new low in politics. Knight's record of achievement is an open book which all Californians can well be proud of. We need men like Knight and we can do well without Christopher's unjust accusations. Business and professional men and women—and their secretaries—are invited to participate in a county-wide Better Letters Clinic to be held at Chrysler Training Center auditorium, Anaheim, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings of next week, Oct. 11, 12 and 13. The clinic is part of a county-wide movement to help local business and professional men and women cut the cost of correspondence and increase sales and profit through better letter-writing. Bill Jonson, rated one of America's outstanding speakers, and former editor of Dartnell Better Letters Service and the magazine Better Letters, is being brought to Orange County for the three-evening clinic by Orange County Industrial News monthly magazine as a service to local business and industry. Jonson says that almost every business can cut the cost of its correspondence and in- Cancer Detection Program Scheduled The Junior Ebell Club of Anaheim will present a program on cancer detection Oct. 10 at 7:45 p.m. at the Ebell Clubhouse. All women of the community are invited. Mrs. Edward Strickler, social service chairman for the club, has arranged the showing of a new filmstrip, "The Men in Her Life," from the American Cancer Society. This is a new film which has never been shown in this area. Dr. Wallace C. Stout of Anaheim, medical representative for the Cancer Society, will introduce the film and answer questions. NAHEIM GAZETTE Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Established in 1870 Anaheim, California, Thursday, October 5, 1961 TEN PAGES EMISSARY NAMED Knight Tells Nixon Deal' Financier J. Howard Edgerton is the man who on behalf of Richard M. Nixon promised former governor Goodwin J. Knight that he could have any job in the state if he would step out of the gubernatorial race and let Nixon have the GOP nomination unopposed. Kuchel Back After Making NATO Trip Knight, in a suspense-packed press conference yesterday in Los Angeles, identified Edgerton, president of California Federal Savings and Loan Association, as the go-between in the Nixon effort to force Knight out of the governor's race. Knight said that he and Edgerton talked by telephone on Kuchel Back After Making NATO Trip Sen. Thomas Kuchel of Anaheim has returned to the Southland after one of the longest Congressional sessions in history and a trip to Paris to examine the status of NATO's European defenses. Kuchel along with Vice-President Johnson reported to President Kennedy this week the results of their separate meetings with Gen. Lauris Norstad, NATO's supreme commander, and Thomas K. Finletter, U.S. permanent representative to North Atlantic Council. They were the luncheon guests of Ambassador and Mrs. Gavin at the U.S. embassy residence in Paris and returned to the embassy for final talks with Gavin and Finletter. Both Kuchel and Johnson made the Paris stopover after attending funeral services of U.N. Secretary General Hammerskjold. They both represented the United States at the services. Kuchel has a busy schedule of speaking engagements planned here. Knight said that he and Edgerton talked by telephone on Sept. 8. Knight learned on Sept. 7 from Mrs. Knight that Edgerton was trying to reach him from Los Angeles. Knight the following day telephoned from the El Dorado Hotel in Sacramento where he was staying. Knight said that he put in a call to Edgerton's private number in Los Angeles. Edgerton answered: Nixon to Run "I have talked to Dick and he is going to run for governor." Knight said: "Well, Howard, you tell Dick I am going to run anyway." Edgerton then told Knight that he would like the former governor to meet with Nixon and Bob Finch. Knight inquired: "For what purpose?" "He will offer anything you want including chief justice of the State Supreme Court or any job in California to stay out," Edgerton told Knight. Knight said he told Edgerton: "I don't want any part of...

She explained that the United States Day observance is an effort sponsored by citizens of 13 Orange County cities and proclaimed officially by city of Brown Visits College. Gov. Edmund G. Brown discussed state legislative problems affecting education in a speech at Santa Ana College this week, declaring that first priority must be given to public education because "in the fight for minds of men, the only real natural resources are our young people." Making his only Orange County speech on a one-day visit here, the chief executive spoke to an overflow audience of students and faculty, followed by a reception in the SAC Art Gallery. Among guests were visiting political science professors and students from Orange County State College, Chapman College, Orange Coast College and Fullerton Junior College. Gov. Brown traced the dynamic growth of Orange County and California, explained the manifold problems facing crowded schools, and said plans have been made to provide classrooms and teachers for 200,000 new students a year. He pointed to laws requiring state-wide testing in order to upgrade standards in schools, more basic subjects and foreign language for elementary students, more basic subjects.
