EVERY SECTION ASKS FOR MORE PAVING HIGHWAY COMMISSION CON-FRONTED WITH DEMAND FOR MILLION DOLLAR BOND ISSUE THIRD SUPERVISOR DISTRICT ASKS FOR TWENTY-SEVEN MILES OF ADDITIONAL ROADS Already $750,000 is asked for paved roads in Orange county in the proposed bond issue, and two supervisor districts are yet to be heard from. Engineer Finley estimates that it will cost $240,000 to complete the coast boulevard. Other districts are filing claims for sections of road, and it is believed the total demands will reach $1,000,000. The highway commission met on Thursday afternoon at which the various committees filed their claims. The Santa Ana committee put in a request that in making a report to be used as a basis of discussion in considering the advisability of calling for more bonds, the commission report upon some eleven miles of road that Santa Anans would like to see constructed. Among these roads are one on Santa Clara avenue, one on Berrydale avenue, West Delhi road, north Flower street through West Orange, East Fourth, East McFadden, and a gap in the foothill boulevard. WALNUT ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES REVIEWED More Than Nine Thousand Tons of Nuts Sold During Past Year The California Walnut Growers' association representing 21 local associations of Southern California, held its annual stockholders (or members) meeting at its headquarters, 823 Traction avenue, Los Angeles, last Thursday and listened to a report of its president, C. C. Teague, and of the assistant manager, H. Zander. Both reports showed that the association in spite of difficulties has had a successful year and has proved the value of cooperation among the growers. The association sold 9088 tons of walnuts and did a business of nearly $2,750,000. The demand for walnuts in cartoons exceeded expectations. The walnut cracking plant turned out 275 tons of meats together with the two local plants at Santa Barbara and Garden Grove. But very little nuts or meats remain unsold and the managers believe that everything will be sold in a very short time. The manager, Mr. Thorpe, is at present in the East looking up business for the coming season. Several more associations will be formed in the near future, and they will join this central association. The selling expense has been kept so low that the growers find the net returns for their walnuts the most satisfactory for years considering the size of the crop. HOLCOMB TALKS ON BURIAL OF THE DEAD ORDER DISCUSSION OF YORK Supervisor Schumacher at Boys The supervisors meet last week by surveyor to discuss for constructive Yorba road at a spur of the Santa Schumacher voted sition, the other fairs.

The petition for Randolph school that in making a report to be used as a basis of discussion in considering the advisability of calling for more bonds, the commission report upon some eleven miles of road that Santa Anans would like to see constructed. Among these roads are one on Santa Clara avenue, one on Berrydale avenue, West Delhi road, north Flower street through West Orange, East Fourth, East McFadden, and a gap in the foothill boulevard. It developed that Engineer S. H. Finley had estimated that it would cost $240,000 to build the coast boulevard from Seal Beach to Serra. It would cost nearly $70,000 to build from Seal Beach to Newport Beach, the entire six and a half miles to be paved. With a new road to be cut from Corona del Mar to Laguna Beach, a goodly sum would be needed. In the estimate of $240,000, Co. Finley contemplated paving some at Corona del Mar, some at Laguna Beach and some along the coast where the character of soil made paving most advisable. Ordinary paving such as Santa Ana asks for costs between $8,000 and $10,000 a mile. "With the coast boulevard, Orange and Santa Ana, we already have enough to make $500,000," said Chairman McFadden, "and the north end of the county is not included." The Anaheim board of trade committee, consisting of G. H. Goodale, John Kellenberger and R. J. H. Johnston assisted by Mr. McFadden, had outlined the needs of the third supervisor district. The roads asked by that committee total 27 miles. They include: Brea to Olinda, two and a half miles; La Habra, south and east to state road, one mile; extend Central avenue La Habra, to county line, half mile; extend La Mirada avenue, La Habra, south three-fourths mile; from Yorba Linda east and south to Yorba school, two and a half miles; from Placentia south through Golden State tract to Olive-Anaheim road, three miles; from the corner of Placentia and Olive roads south mile and half and west on Ball road to Garden Grove, three miles; extend Lemon street north from Anaheim to state road, half a mile; Garden Grove north from Stanton road, one mile; Orange-thorpe avenue, east from state road to Placentia road, two and half miles; Orangethorpe west from end of present paving to county line, four miles; north and south through Cypress, three and half miles; north from Hanwill join this central association. The selling expense has been kept so low that the growers find the net returns for their walnuts the most satisfactory for years considering the size of the crop. HOLCOMB TALKS ON BURIAL OF THE DEAD Gives Interesting Address Before East Bay Memorial League at Oakland All phases of caring for the dead in modern municipalities were discussed by C. E. Holcomb of this city, an authority on mortuary sanitation, necropolitan architecture and famous tombs and burial places in all parts of the world, a recent meeting of the East Bay Memorial league, at Oakland. The speaker said, during the course of his remarks: "In regard to a sanitary method of disposing of the remains of departed, one which will meet all the requirements of modern sanitation and the requirements of sentiment and religion, the most natural reference first will be that of memorial buildings, or mausoleum, interment. "The word mausoleum, which applies equally to the tombs of history and the modern memorial building, comes from the first mausoleum erected, the tomb of Mausolus, king of Caria, which was erected by the sorrowing Queen Artemisia, his wife, at Halicarnassus, upon the Aegean's eastern shore, and which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. This was intended to do honor to the beloved and illustrous dead, and this it did as no grave or pyre could. It was also intended to protect the lifeless form from ruthless robbery and reckless profanation; and it did this so well that for nearly 2000 years no human eye beheld the mortal part of King Mausolus, nor human hand disturbed his rest. "At a far earlier time, Abraham, the father of the faithful, illustrated this desire to entomb the dead and offered an influential example to later generations, when in the hour of his great sorrow he sought the seclusion and security of Machpelah's cave for the last resting place of his beloved wife. There he buried Sarah; there he and his son's son and their wives were all laid to rest, and the 18th day of April, The map of Trails Tract No. 1 was official plotting o The map of Sacramento Orchard as the official plotting o The map of Trails addition to Lemo accepted as the office tract.

On motion of sup seconded and carried journed to March The Orange section is asking for about seventeen miles of paving, as follows: Complete Santa Ana canyon paving, six miles; to County Park, three and half miles; from Villa Parr to North Glassell street, two and half miles; on Glassell and Fairhaven to cemetery, one mile; from state road west to Garden Grove road, three miles. In the total of $750,000 so far recorded for notice by the highway commission, nothing is included for the second and fifth supervisorial districts, excepting the roads asked for by Santa Ana in those two districts. When those two districts are heard from, the total will probably run up to $1,000,000, though it is possible that a large proportion of those two districts may be satisfied with getting the coast boulevard included in the consideration. There is little question but that the total mileage asked for by the various sections makes a total that is startling to the commission. The commission is in doubt as to whether or not to go ahead and make a preliminary report upon all of the roads submitted for consideration. Adjournment was taken to some date at which a joint meeting could be had with the board of supervisors, so that the commission may seek further instructions from the county board. "At a far earlier time, Abraham, the father of the faithful, illustrated this desire to entomb the dead and offered an influential example to later generations, when in the hour of his great sorrow he sought the seclusion and security of Machpelah's cave for the last resting place of his beloved wife. 'There he buried Sarah; there he and his son and his son's son and their wives were all laid to rest, and the place of their repose hath not been violated to this day.'" "To the constant tendency testimony is borne by the massive and magnificent tombs with which India abounds, the tombs and pyramids that make marvelous the land of the Nile, the tombs that stand thick upon the Appian way, and that rise superb upon the Tiber's shore, the modern use to which the Pantheon is put, the Pantheon at Paris, the crypt of the Invalides, the abbey at Westminster, matchless in memorials, the sepulchers within the bills that gird Jerusalem, and the sepulcher in which the Nazarene was gently laid when his agony was ended."

The petition for change of name of Randolph school district to Brea GREAT LECTURER HERE MONDAY NIGHT Peter Collins to be at High School Auditorium March 20 Arrangements have been completed by the Anaheim Council of the Knights of Columbus for the free lecture (and question box) by Peter Collins of Massachusetts on What's Wrong With the World, which will be delivered at high school auditorium on Monday evening, March 20 at 8 o'clock. Mr. Collins will be introduced by H. G. Ames. Mr. Collins' lecture is one of a series of lectures in the nation wide educational program of the supreme council of the Knights of Columbus, and the message of the lecturer is one in the cause of God and country, of civic righteousness and the general welfare. It is a clear and logical treatment of great problems confronting not only the people of America but vital to civilization and its advancement. It is entirely free from bitterness and makes for a better understanding and a kindler feeling between every element in a community. The work that Mr. Collins has been doing for the common good by his lectures throughout the country has been so pronounced and the approval of all the people so emphatic that a few comments by clergymen of all denominations, sociologists, professors, workingmen and statesmen is not out of place, for it gives an idea of the broad guage of Mr. Collins' mission and its service for justice, good will among men, civic progress and social welfare. Rev. Dr. Miller, Presbyterian, Shawnee, Okla., said: "It was a splendid message and carried conviction." Rev. Mr. Kinney, Baptist, Oklahoma City, said: "It was one of the greatest lectures I have ever heard and it did a great good for our city." Rev. Dr. Matthews Christian, Palo, Kas., said: "It was a message that every American should hear."

The serious problem that now confronts the association is the cost of transportation and an appeal is being made to the wealthy citizens of Los Angeles to lend generous financial aid so that the first carloads may be dispatched immediately.

HIGH SCHOOL MEET Track activity among the Orange county high schools is now centering upon the county track meet, to be held at Fullerton on Saturday, March 18th. Each of the five high schools is Harold Goodwin, Roy Speath of Hewes Ranch, Miss Margaret Padias of Villa Park and Miss Marian Lovell of Los Angeles claim that proper warning signs and lights have not been placed on the Olive bridge to warn automobilists against the danger of driving into the washed out approach on the west side of the bridge. They declare that the board of supervisors should take steps to have the bridge properly barricaded and equipped with lights at night. They were near having a serious accident between 9 and 10 o'clock Thursday night when they drove from the east side of the bridge to within two feet of the washed out approach on the west side before they were aware that they were in danger. Had it not been for Miss Padias' urging caution, their automobile would have gone into the ditch. The four people state that they saw no warning lights.

Each of the five high schools is pruning its men for the coming contest, and while little if any record breaking is expected at the meet, indications are there will be strong competition with Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton vying for honors. There is no star at any school who alone can win the meet, from the dope now being passed around, and the winning team will consist of several good, consistent track men. Huntington Beach is not expected to make a strong showing and Orange, while considered as something of a dark horse, is conceded little chance for winning first place. All the schools, however, are holding practice interclass and interschool meets which are developing their best men. As only three entries from each school are allowed in any event, each school will select its best men to be entered from the showings made in the practice meets. ORANGES FOR THE WOUNDED Carloads of oranges, gifts of the Southern California orange growers, are to be shipped to Europe and distributed among the wounded soldiers that crowd the thousands of military hospitals of the allied nations—providing funds can be raised immediately to pay the shipping charges.
