WARM ELECTION IS EXPECTED TOMORROW SIX CANDIDATES CONTESTING FOR THREE SEATS ON THE TWO SCHOOL BOARDS F. N. Gibbs and H. L. Brisco in the Race for W. J. Ellott's Chair on the Grammar Board, While Earl C. Dutton and J. W. Harpster Are Disputing the Places Held at the High School Table With Eli Sparkes and H. E. Carner—Heavy Vote Expected to Be Polled. People generally anticipate a heavy vote at the school elections tomorrow. Three vacancies are to be filled—two on the high school and one on the grammar school board, and nobody will be elected by default, because there is a contest for each of the seats. Ana and Eagle Rock, in which some 1500 girls are members. The dinner was prepared by the Ladies' Aid Society of the church, of which Mrs. M. D. Falconer is president. The committee of ladies for this occasion was in charge of Miss Marjorie Day, assisted by Mrs. August Nagel, Mrs. O. H. Renner and Mrs. W. T. Wallop and others, and the supper was a great success. Lloyd Ross and a few of the boys of his club, The Friendly Indians, and Gus Leive, with a few of his Pioneer Club boys, delivered the food piping hot from the kitchen. After the mothers were introduced by their daughters, the teachers of the various classes of girls in the Sunday school were asked to rise and were given an expression of appreciation and a rousing handclasp. The girls of the newly organised club, under leadership of Miss Beth Walker, gave a stunt in salesmanship, using an old phonograph for the background, and the girls behind the screen sang various records called for. Some numbers were "Sweet Ivory Soap," "Till We Eat Again," and others. Toasts were responded to by Charlotte Hapgood, Mrs. F. N. Gibbs, Miss Bernardine Schlosser, Mrs. Fannie Goddard and Miss Doris Hawley. Among the guests were the follow- People generally anticipate a heavy vote at the school elections tomorrow. Three vacancies are to be filled—two on the high school and one on the grammar school board, and nobody will be elected by default, because there is a contest for each of the seats. It's going to be a merry race, and no man is reckless enough to prophesy what the count will show. In the high school district Ell Sparkes of Loara and H. E. Carner of Katella are the retiring members. Both are standing for re-election, but they have opposition, E. C. Dutton making the race against Sparkes and Dr. J. W. Harpster opposing Carner. Both Sparkes and Carner have served on the board for many years, but if they retain their seats for another term, their friends will have to do considerable rallying around them. They have active opponents, both of whom are backed by large followings. W. J. Elliott, retiring member of the grammar school board, has had enough and refuses to run again. Supporters of the present board have brought out H. L. Brisco for Elliott's seat. His nominating petition was filed the day before the time limit was reached. Brisco will contest the seat with F. N. Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs was brought forward some weeks ago by the people who elected the present city government. He was chosen after many persons had been considered, because he is known to be a man of conservative ideas, of sound judgment, and broad-minded enough to be above narrow-minded prejudices. He proved his qualities while serving several years on the city council. Indications are that he is backed by a large majority of the voters of the city. Earl Dutton, for high school trustee, was also pushed forward by a large number of friends, who believe he is a competent man for a seat on the board. He is a rancher, one of the leading avocado growers of the state, and has for years represented West Anaheim on the Republican county central committee. There is no doubt in the minds of his friends that he will be elected by a large majority. He was one of the leaders in the campaign behind the newly-elected city government. PROMISING YOUNG LAD SUMMONED BY DEATH Donald Bigelow Succumba After an Illness of Twenty-four Hours MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS BANQUET AT CHURCH Presbyterian Ladies Hold Enjoyable Meeting Friday Evening The Mothers' and Daughters' banquet at the Presbyterian church Friday evening drew a crowd of about eighty, which were seated at the table decorated in honor of St. Patrick. Mrs. Dr. H. A. Johnston was toast-mistress. Miss Rose Scott, director of religious education of Los Angeles presbytery, was the principal speaker, assisted by Miss Jane Dalley, who has charge of the girls' club work in Southern California for Presbyterians. She stated she has some 50 girls' clubs organized in various churches, mentioning Fullerton, Placentia, Santa Cole, Mary Jane Dalley and Rose Scott. Waiters were: Harvey Tedford, Donald Spencer, Marshall Beebe, Lloyd Ross, Yataka Yano, Arval Morris, Elmo Honea, Gus Leive, W. T. Wallop and F. N. Gibbs. PROMISING YOUNG LAD SUMMONED BY DEATH Donald Bigelow Succumba After an Illness of Twenty-four Hours The untimely death of Donald Bigelow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bigelow of the Bigelow Book and Stationery store, which occurred at the home of his parents Thursday, cut short a career that promised to be a bright one. He was only 13 years of age, but he took high rank among his school fellows and his classmates in the White Temple Sunday school for his extraordinary ability as a scholar, a debater and a writer. It was his ambition to enter the foreign mission work as soon as his education was completed. His death was caused by diabetis, and he succumbed to the disease after only 24 hours' illness. Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Backs, Terry & Campbell parlors, Dr. J. C. Gelssinger of the White Temple church and Rev. W. A. Brown of University church, Los Angeles, conducting the services. Interment was at Loma Vista cemetery. Members of the White Temple church served as pallbearers, and girls of his Sunday school class sang a couple of songs. On Friday afternoon pupils of the Fremont school filed through the chapel and took a last look at their associate. The Yucalpa valley, San Bernardino county, received 18,000 fruit trees during February. BISHOP OF CHEYENNO, ONE Hundred and 'into St. Boniface Right Reverend bishop of Cheyenno, J. J.

AHEIM GAZETT Anaheim, California, Thursday, March 26, 1925 California Valencia Orange Show RECTORS of the Fifth Annual California Valencia Orange Show have decided to draw upon the French Renaissance period for inspiration for decorations in the tents that will house the 1925 exposition. No period in all history is richer in the beauty of its arts, its architecture and its decorations. The Renaissance was the connecting link between medieval and modern styles of art. It was at its zenith in the days of the magnificent rulers—Louis XIII, Louis XIV and Louis XV—the days of DuBarry of Maintenon and Pompadour. The world's greatest decorative artists lived in those days, and their handiwork has been preserved for the inspiration and emulation of modern artists. The creations of these famous men will be faithfully reproduced by P. G. Allen, the noted artist, and his corps of assistants, who are engaged in designing the settings of this year's show. It is declared by the men who have charge of the work that this will be the most beautiful exposition ever staged in the United States. Adoption of the French Renaissance as a vehicle for the decorations gives the artists a wide latitude, and they promise a setting in the great tents never excelled in former exhibitions, either here or elsewhere. Ever since the conception of the orange show a permanent frontage to the grounds has been under consideration, and now it is an accomplished fact—or will be as soon as the masons have completed the job of building it. The structure is to be one hundred feet in width and thirty feet high. The main doorway to the citrus tent is thirty feet wide, while four archways—two on each side—are provided for automobiles. After passing through the archways, the cars will curve around the tents, following a driveway leading into the spacious parking grounds. On one Ever since the conception of the orange show a permanent frontage to the grounds has been under consideration, and now it is an accomplished fact—or will be as soon as the masons have completed the job of building it. The structure is to be one hundred feet in width and thirty feet high. The main doorway to the citrus tent is thirty feet wide, while four archways—two on each side—are provided for automobiles. After passing through the archways, the cars will curve around the tents, following a driveway leading into the spacious parking grounds. On one side of the main entrance is a square tower, thirty feet in height, on top of which rests a huge golden orange. On the other side a tower rises to a height of seventy-five feet. This also will be surmounted by an orange, but in the chamber just beneath the roof will be fitted a system of powerful electric lights that will broadcast their rays for many miles around the city. These lights will proclaim to the people in neighboring towns, who can plainly see them, that King Valencia is holding his annual festival in Anaheim. The show this year will be divided into three sections and housed in three great tents. The main tent, or citrus tent, is 130x250 feet in dimensions. In this tent will be erected the numerous feature exhibits and the millions of specimens of first fruits of the land. Here all the packing associations in the Southland that handle Valencias will have scores of boxes of their best fruit on exhibition, and many of them will spend hundreds of dollars in the construction of feature displays. But the displays will not be confined to citrus fruit. Many varieties of tropical and semi-tropical fruit, of which the average person never heard, will be seen in this tent, and visitors will learn something about Southern California horticulture that most of them never dreamed of. In this tent also will be erected the grandstand, on which the greatest orchestras and bands that can be procured for money will give daily concerts. Entertainment stunts of various kinds will also be seen on this stand. The best the world affords for the pleasure and amusement of the visitors will be shown here. At the rear end of the main tent, on the left, an archway leads into the industrial tent, and on the right the opening passes the visitor into the automobile tent. These canvases are each 100x260 feet. The industrial tent will be a beehive of industry, practically every article of commerce on sale being on exhibition, with an attendant to explain its good points and its usefulness. There will be hundreds of booths and a bewildering variety of articles on display. In the automobile tent it is promised that practically every automobile on the market will have its space and a car on exhibition. The visitor who is interested in cars can look them all over in a group and decide which one he prefers when he buys his next one. And there will be a Midway—outside the big tents will be a Midway devoted to sports and pleasures. A carnival company, one of the best in the land, has been given a concession, and the thousands of visitors, who feel so inclined, can find something unique and entertaining here. There will be freaks of every description—the giant and the midget, the fat lady and the living skeleton, the freak from Darkest Africa and the anaconda from South America. There will be hula-hula girls singing the seductive songs of Hawaii and sideshows wherein you can add to your knowledge and education at a nominal sum. Capt. Herman Stern, chairman of the committee, who is in command of all the forces, engaged in the work, is a busy man these days, granting concessions, signing contracts and arranging entertainment for the thousands of visitors from all sections of the United States who will attend. He is overwhelmed with applications for space, for concessions and for BISHOP OF CHEYENNE CONFIRMS LARGE CLASS One Hundred and Nineteen Taken into St. Boniface Church: Right Reverend P. H. McGovern, bishop of Cheyenne, acting for Bishop J. J. Cantwell, confirmed a class of 119 young people at St. Boniface church on the Sunday before St. Patrick's Day.

GEN.BEACH'S REPORT ON COUNTY HARBOR Recommends Two Million Dollar Bond issue by the County "After a careful consideration of all the features of the case, it is recommended that your board issue bonds sufficient to properly develop the bay whether or not you obtain federal assistance This amount has been estimated by your engineers as $2,000,000 With this sum once available you will be free to make all necessary plans and to undertake work which is essential without being hampered by lack of funds." The 50 pages of his report made after six months of careful investigation are summed up in the above paragraph which is the vital feature of the report of General Lansing H Beach for 16 years head of the river and harbor work of the United States army, in his report to the Orange county harbor commission. General Beach has prepared the most complete study of Newport bay, and his findings assure that a commerce can be developed if proper steps are taken. He favors a second jetty and suggests ample provision for maintenance. He urges making some provision for yacht anchorages, recommends raising of lands where ever possible. He said that previous work was well done and has been justified. His report gives a mass of figures providing for development under a variety of conditions. He said that Newport bay's proximity to the bulk of the population of Southern California, which is rapidly increasing, insures a commercial growth which will justify the hopes of those interested. He refers to previous reports submitted and complimented the Committee of Fifty on their work and help. The report is being carefully analyzed and considered by the members of the harbor commission, and a recommendation of a definite nature will be made to the board of supervisors early next week. SENIORS OF '25 SELECT "THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH" PICKWICK DEPOT PLANS ALMOST COMPLETED WORK TO BEGIN SOON ON FINEST TERMINAL STATION IN THE SOUTHLAND Structure to Be Known as the Rimpau-Pickwick Building—Fred C. Rimpau Was Recently Offered $120,000 for the Ground Which He Purchased Six Months Ago for $51,000, but the Offer Was Refused—Concrete Evidence That Property Values in the City Are Advancing Since Election. Plans for the Pickwick Stage Company for its new depot in Anaheim are about completed, and before many days actual work on the structure will begin. In addition to this station, which will be one of the finest stage depots ever built, the company is preparing to build a similar one at the southern terminus of its lines at SENIORS OF '25 SELECT "THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH" Will Present Play at High School Auditorium, Thursday and Friday, April 2-3 A brand new play has been selected this year by the graduating class of the local high school, entitled "The Goose Hangs High." This three-act comedy drama had a phenomenal run in New York, and was a big success in Los Angeles recently. Miss Lucille Bickley, the popular dramatics coach, will pilot this cast to an unusual success, while staging will be managed by Miss Dorothy Chalker, already noted locally for her splendid stage work. Miss Madeline Conover will lend her aid to make the costuming what it should be, and to keep up her reputation gained thus far. One of the big events in the life of the senior class is the annual play, which is staged for the purpose of raising money to defray expenses for the publication of the school annual, "The Blue and Gold." Your hearty support is asked. The tickets will be 50 cents. The senior play cast is working very hard on "The Goose Hangs High." They are holding rehearsals of mornings, after school, and nights, to get this very clever three-act play in shape for presentation the second and third of April. It is one of the best plays that has ever been chosen for senior play and, with the well chosen cast, every one is waiting for the second and third with great anticipation. The cast is as follows: Bernard Ingals.....Clifford Taber Eunice Ingals.....Lillian Deschner Noel Derby.....Robert Rundstrom Leo Day.....John Eden Rhoda.....Frances Picklesolmer Julia Murdock.....Sarah Fay Mrs. Bradely.....Kathryn Montenyohl Hugh Ingals.....John Daly Lois Ingals.....Gretchen Holland Bradely Ingals.....Philip Bastian Ronald Murdock.....Walter Heineman Dagmar Carrol.....Florence Winters Plans for the Pickwick Stage Company for its new depot in Anaheim are about completed, and before many days actual work on the structure will begin. In addition to this station, which will be one of the finest stage depots ever built, the company is preparing to build a similar one at the southern terminus of its lines at San Diego. Speaking of the new building in Anaheim, the Southern California manager of the company said: "The new Pickwick terminal to be erected in Anaheim will be one of Orange county's finest business buildings. We expended more than $165,000 in 1924 to improve Pickwick transportation service through Orange county alone. Over 600,000 passengers were carried on the Orange county Pickwick stages system last year." The station is to be built on ground belonging to Fred C. Rimpau, at the corner of Los Angeles and Chestnut streets. The ground, recently purchased by Mr. Rimpau, is 120x160 feet in dimensions, and it is understood the building will cover the greater portion of it. The structure will be two stories in height, and the approximate cost is placed at $100,000. The architect's design shows a beautiful structure that will be an ornament to the city. Mr. Rimpau has given the company a 99-year lease on the ground, and the rental which will be paid to him and his heirs will aggregate close to a million dollars. The deal in this property proves conclusively that real estate values are advancing in Anaheim since the election. Mr. Rimpau purchased this corner in September, only six months ago, paying $51,000 for it. A couple of weeks ago he was offered $120,000 in cash for it, an increase in six months of 135 per cent—and he turned the offer down. "I refused the offer," said Mr. Rimpau, "for two or three reasons. One is that I don't want the cash. I have no use for it. Another is that Anaheim property is rapidly advancing, and it would be a sacrifice to sell it now. Under the lease, myself and my heirs will get a substantial yearly income from it, considerably more than the $120,000 would yield. What it will be worth 100 years from now, when it reverts back to the owners, no man can conjecture now, but it..."

The flower committee of the Fourth district will hold a contest among the school children of Orange county, and several different prizes will be offered by the district for the best essay and posters. A committee from the Eastside Parent-Teacher Association was appointed to make arrangements for the contest to be held in the Broadway, Central and Lincoln schools, and prizes to be selected for the winners. Announcements will be made later. A committee was appointed to visit the neighboring schools for investigation of libraries and playground apparatus. Five members were elected on the nominating committee to select officers for the coming year. At the next meeting, in April, election of officers will be held. Mrs. Roy Horton, district parlamentarian of Santa Ana, talked on "Parliamentary Laws." Mr. Lefferts, manager of the safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California, talked on "Safety of the Child." In substance he said: "In 1923, 83,000 persons were killer in the United States, and 90 per cent of this number were accidents that could have been prevented; from 25 to 30 per cent occurred to children through ignorance of parents. Parents can do much to prevent these accidents by teaching the small children the danger of matches, lye, hot water, putting pins in the mouth, crossing the streets and many other things. Parents must set the example, by not doing the things they tell the children not to do and by not being jaywalkers. Many accidents are caused by parents taking their children to school, stopping across the street in the middle of the block, while the children cross the street and are many times hit and killed by autoists who are not looking for children crossing in the middle of the block. In most 20-mile zones the autoist usually drives 25 miles; increasing his speed increases speed of stopping, also increases chances for accident. The public in general must be educated to the necessity of caution and less speed. The education must start in the home. Teach the child of preschool age the dangers and how to prevent them. The schools all over Southern California are training the children how to prevent dangers. Many schools are establishing 'Safety Clubs' and are meeting with great success."
