VOLUME LII PRESIDENT MAY PASS THROUGH ANAHEIM EFFORTS MAKING TO HAVE ORIGINAL ROUTE FROM SEA TO SANTA ANA CHANGED Secret Service Men, Who Blaze the Way for the Presidential Procession in Town Yesterday Looking Over the Ground—Had No Connection With Local Committee, But It is Believed Their Visit Indicated a Change of Route. An effort is being made to change the itinerary of President Harding on his suburban tour after landing from the vessel bringing him down from the north and have the party pass through Anaheim and other sections of the county. Whether this effort will be successful is not yet known. It is the aim of the committee in charge to arrange the route so that all the people coin park, which is the official gathering place of Long Baech. Leaving Long Beach the party will pass along Daisy street north to the Anaheim road, west to Canal street, Wilmington, arriving at the Catalina pier at 2:45, where the president will board the steamer for Catalina island, where he will enjoy a period of rest. The committee is urgent that all communities through which the president and his party passes be profusely decorated with large American flags, including the derricks in the oil fields viewed. ANAHEIM SHAKEN BY SLIGHT EARTHQUAKE SHOCK Many People Frightened, But No Damage Done Here One of the severest shocks of earthquake experienced in Anaheim within the memory of the oldest inhabitant occurred at 11:30 o'clock Sunday night. The shock lasted about fifteen seconds, and according to citizens who were still awake it was preceded by a roaring noise, and followed by a series of sharp cracks, resembling small fire arms. No damage whatever was reported in this neighborhood, but hundreds of people rushed into the street, especially from the large apart- An effort is being made to change the itinerary of President Harding on his suburban tour after landing from the vessel bringing him down from the north and have the party pass through Anaheim and other sections of the county. Whether this effort will be successful is not yet known. It is the aim of the committee in charge to arrange the route so that all the people of southern California can greet the president and his party on the trip. Secret service men from Washington were in the city yesterday, according to a report in well informed circles, going over the route of President Harding on his visit to Orange county. The president is preceded by these men everywhere, and their report is transmitted to Washington for approval. These men were in town without the knowledge of the local committeemen. The fact that they were here indicates that the president will probably be routed through this city on his way to Sahla Ana, where he will be the guest of his sister, Mrs. Remsberg, and from which point he will take the train for San Diego. Following is the official schedule of the route as originally arranged: Following the visit to the motion picture studios Friday morning, August 3, the suburban trip committee, headed by Ralph Arnold, will assume charge of the president and his party. The suburban trip committee will assume charge of the president prompt at eleven o'clock. The out of town autos will assemble on Los Feliz boulevard, on either side of the thoroughfare, between Western and the hill to the north. There they will await the coming of the president, who will drive through the double row of automobiles, which will then take their places in the rear of the president's car for the tour. The party will move from Los Feliz road to Tropico avenue to Brand boulevard, to Broadway reaching Glendale at 11:30. Thence they will proceed along Colorado street to Eagle Rock, arriving there at 11:40; thence Colorado street over the Arroyo Seco bridge; thence east on Colorado street to the Maryland hotel, Pasadena, which will be reached at 12 o'clock. The president will lunch privately at the Maryland hotel and others of the party will be served a buff luncheon in the main dining room. Other guests One of the severest shocks of earthquake experienced in Anaheim within the memory of the oldest inhabitant occurred at 11:30 o'clock Sunday night. The shock lasted about fifteen seconds, and according to citizens who were still awake it was preceded by a roaring noise, and followed by a series of sharp cracks, resembling small fire arms. No damage whatever was reported in this neighborhood, but hundreds of people rushed into the street, especially from the large apartment houses, in various stages of dress—or undress. Many persons refused to return to bed, fearing that it was merely the forerunner of a greater shock. The center of the disturbance appeared to be at St. Andrew's fault, in San Bernardino county. At San Bernardino many windows were broken, and tons of plastering was shaken from the hall of records. At the Patton insane asylum 150 women patients were slightly injured by falling plaster, but there were no fatalities. Sunday was a day of phenominal occurrences here. Late in the afternoon a brilliant rainbow appeared in the east, and hung in the sky for a quarter of an hour. Just at dark a small shower of rain fell, which is an unusual occurrence for July. Later in the night parties motoring on the boulevards observed brilliant lights shining in the eastern sky which could not be accounted for. Then came the earthquake, but it is not presumed that the other phenomena had any connection with the quake. SEAL BEACH BECOMING A POPULAR RESORT Anaheim's Nearest Beach Good Place to Spend a Vacation Of all the beaches within easy distance of Anaheim, Seal Beach is of particular interest for various reasons. One reason is that it is our nearest approach to the sea, being twelve miles away. Another is that it was formerly our gateway to the sea, and a portion of the town is still called Anaheim Landing. Another is that many former Anaheimers are now resident there and engaged in various enterprises. As a summer resort Seal Beach is growing more popular each year. Many people in neighboring towns have cottages there, which they occupy during the hot months. Besides the cottages there is a tent city which provides comfortable quarters for hundreds of people who are compelled to Contract for swimming pool in this was let by the trustee to South & Franzen $37,700.

The party will move from Los Penas road to Tropico avenue to Brand boulevard, to Broadway reaching Glendale at 11:30. Thence they will proceed along Colorado street to Eagle Rock, arriving there at 11:40; thence Colorado street over the Arroyo Seco bridge; the east on Colorado street to the Maryland hotel, Pasadena, which will be reached at 12 o'clock. The president will lunch privately at the Maryland hotel and others of the party will be served a buffet luncheon in the main dining room. Other guests will not be permitted at this time. The trip will be resumed at 12:30, the party going east on Colorado street to Madison avenue, south to California, east to El Monte, south to Glenarm, west to Fairoaks, south to South Pasadena, which will be reached at 12:40, where the president will stop long enough to plant a tree at the soldiers' memorial. The trip will be resumed by way of Fairoaks and Monterey road, east on Monterey to Garfield, arriving at San Marino at 12:45. Thence south on Garfield to Main street, Alhambra, which will be reached at 12:50; thence east on Main street to Mission drive, southeast through San Gabriel, which will be reached at 12:55. Thence southeast to San Gabriel boulevard, through the Montebello oil fields to Rio Hondo bridge, which will be reached at 1:15. From there the party will take the Pico road south to Whittier boulevard. The trip will continue south to Downey road through Rivera, arriving there at 1:35; thence to Downey at 1:45; thence along College avenue and Ocean avenue to Clearwater, arriving there at 1:57; thence to Hynes, 2:00 o'clock. From there the party will proceed south through the Signal Hill oil district, which will be reached at 2:15; entering Long Beach via Ocean avenue at 2:30, proceeding west to Linwas formerly our gateway to the sea, and a portion of the town is still called Anaheim Landing. Another is that many former Anaheimers are now resident there and engaged in various enterprises. As a summer resort Seal Beach is growing more popular each year. Many people in neighboring towns have cottages there, which they occupy during the hot months. Besides the cottages there is a tent city which provides comfortable quarters for hundreds of people who are compelled to rent domiciles. These tents are just as comfortable as the more substantial houses, being fitted with gas, electricity, etc. Seal Beach is a clean and thriving little town, and all visitors are made to feel at home by its hospitable citizens. It has a splendid beach, which is thronged with bathers during the day. It is a famous fishing point also, and summer visitors can find excellent sport between baths landing all sorts and sizes of fish. One of the advantages Seal Beach can boast is the absence of mosquitos or other pests. It is said there is not a mosquito nearer than Long Beach, and there is absolutely nothing to disturb the rest of the summer visitor. He can wrap the drapery of his couch about him at night, lie down to peaceful slumbers, and be lulled to sleep by the music of the restless waves. Seal Beach is a good place to spend your summer vacation. WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE It looks as though we are willing to give Europe advice and lend her some money, but refuse to fight her wars. The American people haven't lost all common sense and caution. Our social order is not perfect and it never will be until all of us can have our own way. AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, July 26, 1923 SWIMMING POOL CONTRACT LET BY TRUSTEES SOUTH & FRANZEN SUBMIT BID FOR $37,700 AND GET THE JOB More Than $2000 Under the Estimated Cost of $40,000—Pool to Be 150 Feet Long. Surrounded By Dressing Rooms—Louis Vokall Asks Reinstatement as Motorcycle Officer—Police Committee Investigating His Case and Will Report Later. Contract for construction of the swimming pool in the municipal park was let by the trustees Thursday night to South & Franzen, the figure being $37,700. At a previous meeting of the board all bids were side-tracked because they exceeded the estimated cost of $40,000 which the officials had fixed as a limit. Some small modifications were made in the plans, and the South & Franzen company agreed to of commerce when this announcement was made by Lew Wallace. Application has already been made to the state railroad commission for permit, giving specified schedules of trips. The harbor has been used before for one or two private ventures, but never has it been an established, regularly operating concern, using its waters and wharfage. In a letter to a friend in this county last week, Congressman Phil Swing says: "I appreciate the fact that Orange county has settled down in earnest to get public recognition of the Orange county harbor. I want to work hand and glove with you, as I consider Newport harbor one of the big projects in my district. "I am planning to spend a week in Orange county in the not far distant future, and a considerable part of that time I want to devote to planning a proper presentation of the Orange county harbor merits to the national government." "With the Boulder dam project looking more favorable every day, there is every reason why Orange county should whip its harbor into shape to get the advantage of coming industries which will follow the cheap power and which will want to locate as far as practicable, upon a good harbor." SANTA FE SPRINGS IS A BUSY OIL TOWN SITE WAS ONLY A SHEEP PASTURE A FEW SHORT YEARS AGO Southern California Oil Company Brought in Another Gusher on the Baker-Loudon Lease Monday—Initial Flow From 4000 to 5000 Barrels a Day With Prospect of an Increase—Well Was Drilled By The Company in Ninety Days. With a dozen or more unit-holders and oil promoters standing by upon the tip-toe of expectancy, eagerly watching the swabbing out of the hole the Southern California Oil company brought in a fine well at Santa Fe Springs on Monday afternoon at four o'clock upon what is known as the Baker-Loudon tract. The operators estimate the initial output to be between 4000 and 5000 barrels, with in- Contract for construction of the swimming pool in the municipal park was let by the trustees Thursday night to South & Franzen, the figure being $37,700. At a previous meeting of the board all bids were side-tracked because they exceeded the estimated cost of $40,000 which the officials had fixed as a limit. Some small modifications were made in the plans, and the South & Franzen company agreed to perform the work at the above price. The swimming pool will be 150 feet long, entirely surrounded by a building, cut into booths, where the patrons may don their bathing suits. It will be a great convenience to the public, as any Anaheimer who desires may take a plunge whenever he feels like it without going to the beach. It is not expected that the pool will be completed this season, but it will be ready for the public when summer time comes again. A letter was received by the board from Louis Vokali, former motorcycle officer rescinding the resignation he handed in some days previously, and asking that he be renstated. It appears that some unpleasantness was attached to Vokali's overhauling H. G. Ames because of the tail light, or, rather, the absence of a tail light on Mr. Ames' car. Mr. Ames states that when his attention was called to the fact that his tail light was out he promised to have it fixed immediately, before he reached the shop was again overhauled by Vokali. There was considerable friction between the two before the matter was finally settled, and hearing that charges were likely to be filed against him, Vokali reigned. His letter asking for re-statement was as follows: "Gentlemen: June 7th, 1922, I was appointed motorcycle officer, and have performed my duties at all times in a gentlemanly manner and in as near an impartial manner as is humanly possible for a person to do. Early in July of this year, chief of police stated charges were filed against me and that I was to be discharged. Since that time I have been informed no charges have been filed with your honorable body, and it is my desire to resume my duties. Any number of good citizens of this city will appeal rf for me at any time and testify in my behalf if necessary. "Very respectfully, "LOUIS VOKALI." The matter was referred to the police committee. Destroying a tree because of the abundance and abnormal size of its fruit is an unusual proceeding, but Lamont Gobel was compelled to sacrifice one of his shade trees last week, the droppingruit being a menace to pedestrians on the sidewalk. The tree was known here only as the monkey tree, or monkey puzzle tree, but in all probability its proper name is adansonia digitata, or monkey bread tree of the tropics. It was undoubtedly out of its element here, although it grew to a height of more than sixty feet, and the fruits grew so large that they broke off from their stems and fell to the ground. The fruits are marked like a pineapple, they are egg shaped and as large as a football. Some of the specimens that have fallen in former years weighed ten pounds. Two or three weighing seven pounds dropped on the sidewalk a week or two ago. Mr. Gobel thought there might be more of them in the top of the tree, although the foliage was so thick it was impossible to see through to the trunk, consequently he decided to take no chances. He cut it down, falling it on the Broadway pavement. On trimming it up he found eighty of the egg-shapped cones, each weighing between seven and eight pounds. They had not yet reached full growth. Fred Pressel, who helped fell the tree, says it was brought here more than twenty-five years ago from Hawaii, through the agency of Henry Kroeger. If there are any other monkey trees in this section Mr. Gobel advises that they be destroved as a tenety Days. With a dozen or more unit-holders and oil promoters standing by upon the tip-toe of expectancy, eagerly watching the swabbing out of the hole Southern California Oil company brought in a fine well at Santa Fe Springs on Monday afternoon at four o'clock upon what is known as the Baker-Loudon tract. The operators estimate the initial output to be between 4000 and 5000 barrels, with indications of a material increase as more pressure is put on. The well is 4650 feet in depth and the drillers are given credit of making record time, consuming about 90 days in active operations. The company at the start had considerable trouble. The first attempt to get oil was made in the Whittler field, which was abandoned. The company then secured a lease on five acres at Santa Fe Springs, but their first hole at a depth of 3500 feet had to be abandoned. They shifted over a short distance upon the present site and the big well on Monday afternoon gladdened their hearts. Their labors had been rewarded. When it was seen the well would soon begin production, five men stood by and shut off the volume of oil, mud and water that the gas pressure shot up to the top of the derrick. They were given a thorough drenching, but they cared not for that and when the well was under control and the oil was shooting out through the side line pipes, all hands gave a cheer. "That means much to me," said a man who mingled with the crowd. He was one of original buyers of units, and always was confident they would strike oil. There were many others of the same opinion. Major Off, of Los Angeles, is one of the principal stockholders in the well. It is the intention to sink four more wells on the tract and as the land is proven territory the company is on a good financial basis. Santa Fe Springs is looked upon as being one of the best and largest fields in the state, and the oil zone is being steadily increased. Where a few years ago there was nothing but sheep pasture, today the eye sees a veritable forest of derricks, extending for miles in every direction. Thousands of men are employed there, and it seems there is no limit to the field's productivity. Pumping stations and tank farms are being installed on all sides and the place is a bee hive of industry. charges were filed against me and that I was to be discharged. Since that time I have been informed no charges have been filed with your honorable body, and it is my desire to resume my duties. Any number of good citizens of this city will appeal rfor me at any time and testify in my behalf if necessary. "Very respectfully, 'LOUIS VOKALI.' The matter was referred to the police committee. SHIPPING TO BEGIN AT ORANGE COUNTY HARBOR First Commercial Cargo to Arrive on August 1st. The Orange county harbor is no longer a mere "proposed" harbor. It is an actual thing. On August first, the first commercial cargo will enter the harbor on the boats of an organized and licensed concern. The Newport Harber Transportation company, of which J. H. Hayden is president, has contracted for the use of one 250-ton barge twice weekly, and will unload products, shipside, at San Diego, and then bring them into Newport harbor. The J. M. Whitney Lumber company of Huntington Beach, has entered contract, it is understood, with the transportation company, for the delivery of lumber. The barge will make two round trips weekly, it was reported. According to present arrangements with the Huntington Beach concern, it is understood that if the transportation company does not at any time have a full cargo, they will take the balance of space for lumber. Much enthusiasm was displayed at the meeting of the board of directors of the Orange county harbor chamber With the starting of the new grammar school, the opening of sub-divisions, the installation of a water system and the completing of paving on the main streets, Buena Park, is assuming the appearance of a town made over and will soon be out in her new dress. The new school is being erected on the site of the old one, the old buildings having been moved. The new structure will have eight class rooms, an auditorium, domestic science and manual training room all to be fully equipped. The building will be of brown stucco, with a red tile roof. It will cost $80,000. The sub-division has been opened in the west end of the town by L. L. Mennes, of Fullerton, and is a tract of 72 lots. They vary in price from $700 to $1500 and the owners report a goodly number sold with homes to be started at once. The Johnson sanatorium is to be built on this tract, it is said. The water system, for which the community voted $25,000 recently, will be a two unit plant and is to be built just west of the depot. The paving includes the finishing of the present highway from curb to curb from Orangethorpe to Northam. HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS STILL ON THE ROLL Much Oratory Expended Over Dismissal of Two Members Dismissal of two instructors from the faculty of the high school has caused considerable friction, and a number of citizens met at the board meeting Friday evening for the purpose of learning the reason for their dismissal. County Superintendent R. P. Mitchell was also present. Prof. Frederick R. Schiller, teacher of Spanish and French, and Ray Eldiott, athletic instructor, were the two men who were dropped from the faculty, or whose contracts for future services were held up because of the apparent hostility of Principal J. A. Clayes. Prof. Schiller stated to the meeting that at the close of the last term he received a letter from Principal Clayes notifying him that his salary for the coming term would be $550 less than the previous year. Schiller considered himself under a cloud and tried to get definite information as to the reason or charges against him. Clayes told him that certain members of the board were antagonistic to him. Schiller stated that he had been advised by various educators, including KETTE CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY Number 41 PRINGS BY OIL N SHEEP PASORT YEARS Oil Company Gusher on the Monday—Intito 5000 Barrels of an Increase By the Company Mark Keppel, superintendent of the schools of Los Angeles county, to take the matter into court and compel the board to show why he had been dismissed. He also stated that he had been told the reason the sold shoulder was turned toward him was because he had been a warm supporter of Herman Efker in the recent election for member of the board. Ray Elliott's case was similar to that of Schiller. He had received a letter from Principal Clayes, he said, notifying him that he had been dropped from the faculty. Clayes' objections to Elliott were that he was too independent, and failed to co-operate with the principal in his work. Several visitors, including D. Jessu-run and Rev. Thomas Walker made short addresses, and the conclusion was finally reached that both teachers were still members of the faculty. SLIP AWAY TO UPLAND FOR MARRIAGE CEREMONY Miss Alice Robison and Thomas Scott United in Marriage Miss Alice Robison, for thirteen years one of the efficient employes of the Anaheim postoffice, and Thomas Scott, of Santa Ana, slipped away to Uplands Tuesday, where they were married by Rev. James Stone former LEASE IS SIGNED FOR BROADWAY HOTEL PROPRIETORS OF FAIRMOUNT AND PALACE OF SAN FRANCISCO GET NEW HOSTELRY Twenty-Five Year Lease Signed Up By Anaheim Building Corporation—Pacific Coast's Leading Hotel Men to Have Charge of Anaheim's New Hostelry—Surveyors to Be Here This Week to Draw Lines for the Great Structure—Excavations to Begin at Once. When Joe Siegel, president of the Anaheim Building corporation, returned from San Francisco last week, where he had gone to make final arrangements for beginning work on his Broadway hotel, he announced that the building had already been leased. The corporation controlling the Fairmount and Palace hotels of San Francisco,the two great hosteleries owned by the SLIP AWAY TO UPLAND FOR MARRIAGE CEREMONY Miss Alice Robison and Thomas Scott United in Marriage Miss Alice Robison, for thirteen years one of the efficient employes of the Anaheim postoffice, and Thomas Scott, of Santa Ana, slipped away to Uplands Tuesday, where they were married by Rev. James Stone, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church in this city. Miss Robison some weeks ago resigned her position in the postoffice, and announcement of her engagement to Mr. Scott was made. No date for the wedding had been publicly announced, but was anticipated, consequently their action in slipipng away for a quiet ceremony was a surprise to their friends. Miss Robison has been making her home with her sister, Mrs. G. W. Sandilands, for a number of years. She has been a valued member of the postoffice staff for thirteen years, the past few years being assistant postmaster. The groom is connected with the Santa Fe railroad at Santa Ana, and formerly lived in Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. Scott left on a motor trip after the ceremony. They will make their home in Santa Ana. Miss Robison was one of the best known young ladies of this city, and the best wishes of all the people will follow her. VALENCIA CROP LARGER THAN EVER BEFORE The Orange county Valencia crop promises to be larger for the coming year than ever before, J. McInnes, of Orange, predicted. The mark set for 1924 is a source of wonder to many growers, he asserted. "With favorable weather conditions Orange county should market a bumper crop, although it is much too early for an accurate estimate," McInnes said. "We do not have many navel oranges in this district, but what we have are carrying a tremendous load." Packing houses are steadily packing, and growers are realizing satisfactory returns. "Saturday, Charles D. Boydston was given a check for $11,945.33 for part of the fruit on his ranch on Prospect avenue." "The Stroup-Barnes company of An- Great Structure—Excavations to Begin at Once. When Joe Siegel, president of the Anaheim Building corporation, returned from San Francisco last week, where he had gone to make final arrangements for beginning work on his Broadway hotel, he announced that the building had already been leased. The corporation controlling the Fairmount and Palace hotels of San Francisco, the two great hosteleries owned by the heirs of the late Senator Fair, has signed a 25-year lease on the building, and will take charge as soon as it is ready for occupancy. The Fairmount and Palace hotels are two of the greatest hotels on the Pacific coast, and with the Anaheim hotel under the same management it is a foregone conclusion that it will be in expert hands. Surveyors are expected to be here this week to lay the lines for the new building, and as soon as they are out of the way excavating will begin. The big five-story structure will be built of steel, and is to be as near fire-proof as it is possible to make a building. The Anaheim Building corporation is offering a block of stock to local investors., and many people with idle capital are taking advantage of the company's proposition. SNAKE IN THE GRASS Bitten by a snake concealed in a tree, on the W. A. Cornellius ranch at El Toro, Mrs. Apolinar Cuevas, of West Fifth street, Santa Ana, is recovering, following first-aid treatment by a Santa Ana physician. According to Cornellius, Mrs. Cuevas was picking apricots from a low-hanging limb when the snake struck her at the base of the third finger on her left hand. Cornellius was inclined to believe the woman was bitten by a rattle snake, although the attending physician was in doubt on this point. "The woman's arm was tightly bandaged at the wrist and elbow by her husband and myself." said Cornellius, "and she was rushed to Santa Ana for treatment. Followinb emergency measures, which included opening and draining of the wound, she was pronounced out of danger, and proceeded to her home. Several rattlesnakes have been seen in the vicinity of El Toro this season. It is believed that the snakes were brought down from the mountains by the water rains. "As no one was with Mrs. Cuevas when she was struck, and the exact and largest fields in the roll zone is being here a few years ago but sheep passes a veritable abundance for miles thousands of men and it seems there would be productive tank farms all sides and the industry.

He had been advisors, including early for an accurate estimate," McInnes said. "We do not have many navel oranges in this district, but what we have are carrying a tremendous load." "Packing houses are steadily packing, and growers are realizing satisfactory returns." "Saturday, Charles D. Boydston was given a check for $11,945.33 for part of the fruit on his ranch on Prospect avenue. "The Stroup-Barnes company of Anaheim, was paid $3085.60 for the fruit on its six-acre ranch at Garden Grove the same day. "Picking of both groves was finished Friday. "To be picked in the near future are the groves of S. G. Lehmer, Katella road; H. M. Peterson, Katella road; William Jackson, Magnolia avenue; A. J. Hunter, Fullerton; Mrs. Mary Tombes, Placentia; the Eager ranch, East Center street, Anaheim; T. W. Johnston, Red Hill; Mrs. A. J. Turner, Garden Grove; J. H. Stinson, Orange, and others." Fullerton and Placentia packing houses shipped 129 carloads of Valencias and four cars of lemons last week, according to figures available. This aggregate is close to the high peak reached two weeks ago, when shipments amounted to 135 carloads of oranges. The market on California oranges is said to be showing some improvement and the steady, downward trend last week seems to have been checked. In some markets, stock is bringing slightly higher prices than those which prevailed last week. Quotations on fancy Valencias were about $3.25 to $3.65 per box, according to sizes and district. You may be tired of giving, but you will be happier to know you will never be rested from it until you are dead. "and she was rushed to Santa Ana for treatment. Followinb emergency measures, which included opening and draining of the wound, she was pronounced out of danger, and proceeded to her home. Several rattlesnakes have been seen in the vicinity of El Toro this season. It is believed that the snakes were brought down from the mountains by the winter rains. "As no one was with Mrs. Cuevas when she was struck, and the exact tree where she was picking fruit could not be located, the snake escaped." FLOAT FOR HARDING PAGEANT Dr. J. D. Thomas, president of the associated chambers of commerce of Orange county, announced the appointment of a committee to assume full charge of the development of a float for the Los Angeles pageant being arranged as a feature of southern California's reception to President Harding, August 2. The committee is composed of Geo. Raymer, secretary of the Fullerton chamber of commerce; J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the Santa Ana chamber; Malcolm Fraser, secretary at Anaheim; V. D. Johnson, secretary of the chamber at Orange, and Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, county purchasing agent. The committee was requested by Dr. Thomas to meet at Santa Ana Monday noon at luncheon. Thomas said that it was his desire to have Santa Ana represented by a float that would be a credit to the country.. He said money was assured for the construction of a high-class entry. Perhaps fifty per cent of all worries are in some way, financial and probably fifty per cent of those are caused by not having sense enough to reduce Packard tastes to flivver incomes.
