Annual Meeting of Local Y.M.C.A. Reports of Committees Heard And Officers Elected The annual meeting of the Y.M.C.A. was held in the club building on South Philadelphia street Monday night, being the first gathering in this building since its repair after the fire of September 5. Although the fact of many other meetings in session the same evening prevented a large attendance, all who were there the full evening or found it possible to break away from other meetings for a brief time were well pleased with the interior of the building. After an opening prayer by Rev. Thomas H. Walker, final action was taken regarding changes in the Constitution and By-laws, to bring this document into line with action of the Board taken during the last few months on the creation of additional committees and other necessary adjustments. Herman Leebe, Chairman of the House Committee, spoke briefly regarding the repose of the building and its re-equipment due to fore losses. His report was supplemented by two other members of his committee, Mrs. M. E. Deebe and Mrs. F. M. Gibbs. In her remarks, Mrs. Gibbs spoke of the work of the Women's Auxiliary, especially as it had to do with preparing supplies for the Hi-Y Club and for other gatherings. It is the plan of the House Committee and the Women's Auxiliary to equip kitchen and dining room, in order to handle a capacity of seventy-five people for barquets. In the absence of Charles Pearson, head of the Physical Work Committee, L. E. Sutherland, a member of his committee, summoned up briefly the summer baseball, reminding those in attendance that the baseball activities were promoted by a commission made up of representatives of the Y.M.C.A., and City Park, and headed by Harry D. Riley. Eighteen teams, approximately two hundred and twenty players, played one hundred and twenty-three games, using the splendid park baseball diamond. The attendance Orange County Committee. At the request of the Executive Secretary the books of the Association were ordered audited. The budget for the new year, approved in September by the former Board of Directors, was adopted as the budget for the current year. Secretary Rudd, who came to Anaheim, April 11 to finish out the last fiscal year, was employed as Secretary for the current year. Dr. Johnston outlined briefly, plans for the finance campaign and discussed with the Board some of the major items. The business office of the Association which during the repair of the building, due to the generous offer of Beche and Harrison, has been in their office at 129 North Log Annie's street, will for the present be continued in that location. Expert to Study Forest Taxation A nation-wide study of the forest tax problem in relation to reforestation is being launched by the forest service, United States Department of Agriculture, which has just announced the appointment of Prof. Fred R. Fairchild of Yale university as director of the investigation. A detailed study of forest tax problems will be made in principal forests of the United States in order to determine the effect of present tax laws on reforestation and timber holding, and the conditions that must be fact in any effort to readjust present tax laws so as to be fair both to the landowner and the county treasury. This study is the outgrowth of a country-wide investigation of a forestation conducted by a special committee of the United States Senate in 1933-24. This committee came to the conclusion that timber growing would be greatly stimulated by giving landowners security against unjust and burdensome taxation. Provision for the study is embodied in the Clarke-McNary forestry net passed by the last congress. Prof. Fairchild, who will take active charge of the work in November, is regarded as one of the foremost authorities in the country on general tax problems.

M. C. A. from the seven Lions clubs of the county. Speaking for the Educational Work Committee, Mr. H. W. Lowls, the Chairman, mentioned the splendid service to the community from the visit of Mrs. Jean Morris Ellis and spoke of further possibilities in the coming months. All were pleased when Mr. F. N. Gibbs, Chairman of the Finance Committee, in a very few words, made two important announcements. The first was that the Association had closed its books as of October 31, the end of the fiscal year, with current obligations paid in full and some gains on old indebtedness. The second announcement was that Dr. H. A. Johnston had accepted the leadership of the Finance Campaign, to be held December 1-4. Rev. G. G. Schmid spoke of the possibility of work with young men and commented briefly on steps already taken on the part of this committee of which he is chairman. In a very interesting talk, Mrs. Dorothy Sutherland, a member of the Women's Advisory Board, and leader of the Girl Reserves, told of the many things of interest being carried on by this group of High School Girls. Most of these present were surprised at the volume of service these girls are rendering to needy groups.

Thomas H. Walker spoke briefly regarding the plans for the Religious Work Committee, and reminded the audience of the vital importance of this work. Warren Ashleigh, former secretary of the Association, and volunteer leader of the Hi-Y Club, gave a most interesting report regarding the winter's program for this very active club. His report was followed by a statement by Ed Beebe, President of the Hi-Y Club, on the Hi-Y training Camp, held at Catalina just before the opening of school. At this point the committee on nominations, speaking through its chairman, Rev. T. H. Walker, nominated the following men as members of the Board of Directors for the current year: E. C. Rundstrom, M. E. Beebe, Henson W. Faris, Frank N. Gibbs, Dr. H. A. Johnsten, Herman Lochr, Charles Pearson, Henry Raman, Robert Eaton Will Wagner, Jr., E. C. Kendrick, J. H. Whitalter, Homer W. Lewis. These were elected. The closing address for the evening was given by William H. Wallace of Long Beach, chairman of the State Town and Country Committee of California. Mr. Wallace reminded those present of some of the early days of the Association in Orange county, expressing his pleasure at hearing the reports that had been given early in the evening, and expressing confidence for the future of the Association in Anaheim. At the close of this address the Women's Auxiliary gave a practical demonstration of their hospitality by serving refreshments which consisted of apples and cookies. Immediately on the adjournment which closed the annual meeting, the members of the newly elected Board, who were present, met in a short session to complete the organization of this body. The newly elected officers of the Board are: Frank N. Gibbs, President, Herman Lochr, Vice-President, H. W. Lewis, Treasurer. According to the action of the Board, M. E. Beebe, Rev. T. H. Walker, and F. N. Gibbs will officially represent the Board, as members of the accounts shows, shows the division no. 117 per cent of its net income for operating expenses or $21,251.23. The machine that could have been used was $613,774. Thus it will be seen that one-half of the 29 per cent paid by law was used. Schleipn report includes. An actual saving in operating expense of $20,114.49 over the previous year was evidenced to the department in the report, which points out that registrations of motor vehicles increased by 20%. The saving effected in operating costs will be turned back to the highway commission and the various counties for use in the maintenance of roads according to Will H. Marsh, chief of the division. The audit showed an increase in the cost of law enforcement of $175.48; due it was stated, no increased duties of the traffic department. Thus, it never was over-balanced by a decrease in registration costs of $312,067. George G. Radeff, chairman of the board of control, expressed elation over the showing made pointing out that every dollar thus saved can be used for much-needed highway work. COPS HANDICAPPED Enforcement of safety provisions of the California motor vehicle act will be seriously hindered by the effect of a decision handed down by Attorney General U.S. Webb holding that the state is practically without power to compel drivers of government-owned vehicles to obey the state law. Will H. Marsh, chief of the division of motor vehicles, announced today. Webb held specifically that government drivers are not required to obey headlight regulations and not compelled to secure either a registration license or a chauffeur's license. The ruling will exempt drivers of more than 1600 vehicles, as approximately this number are operated in the state by the federal government. It would have the effect of relieving all prohibition agents, postal employees, army officers and men and other government employees using government vehicles from obeying the state law. Welfare Workers Are Getting Busy Making Preparations to Bring Christmas to Poor Encouraged by the hearty response, the wonderful cooperation and the generous donations with which the plan for the distribution of Christmas boxes and aid was met last year, the Committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce wishes to try the same plan, only enlarged and improved upon, again this year. So that everybody may understand the plan, the committee, which is composed of Lee Eicholtz, Mrs. J. W. Price, and Miss E. Kate Rea, issues the following statement: "Any individual, lodge, church, club, society and any organization of any kind knowing of anyone in Anaheim who needs help, not only at Christmas time but at any time of the year, will notify any member of the Committee. The case will be investigated and if worthy will be helped from the one central fund, thus preventing overlapping—also preventing a repetition of what happened two years ago, i.e. one family received help from five different organizations and several families we learned later received no box of Christmas cheer at all. If any individual or group care to 'adopt' a certain family, that will be wonderful, only let the Committee know so there will be no overlapping. Any individual or group wishing to make a donation or contribution to the Central Fund or the Great Christmas Chest, as the Committee likes to call it, may leave it will any member of the Committee or telephone and it will be called for. The articles needed are toys, in good condition and clean, clothes, new or old (if they must be cleaned and mended), blankets, comforts, sheets, pillow cases, furniture in good condition, nuts, rainsings, apples, candies, jams, jellies, preserves, canned foods, groceries such as flour, sugar, coffee beans, rice, cereals." If any money is donated it will be used by the Committee to buy a Christmas tree of loaf for each box which if deserving, aid will be given. As soon as he has gone, telephone immediately a description of the person and his request to the Police Department who will notify the City Welfare Worker so she will be there to render aid when the person arrives. We know it is hard to turn anyone away from our door empty-handed, but is the only way to solve the tramp problem. It will not be so hard when you remember that the peedy will be cared for at the City Hall. "Please think over these suggestions and accept them in the spirit intended. Again the Committee wishes to thank all who so generously helped last year, and we hope you and many more will cooperate and help again this year." Builder of Racing Cars Now Oldsmobile Consulting Engineer Herbert C. M. Stevens, formerly chief engineer of the Sunbeam Motor Company, Ltd., Wolverhampton, England, has been appointed consulting engineer of the Oldsmobile organization. It was announced last week by I. J. Reuter, president and general manager of Olds Motor Works. Mr. Stevens is well known throughout England and Europe for his long and important activities in the automobile industry, having been responsible for the production of the Sunbeam, Talbot and Darracq group, which is one of the largest motor corporations in Europe. During his 10 years' connection with the S-T-D, among his most successful accomplishments were the development of the 3-litre Sunbear racing cars, winners of the Isle of Man tourist trophy races, and the 1½-litre Darracqs which were unbeatable in their class for three years. Under Mr. Stevens' direction Sunbeam built the machinery for the dirigible R-33, which made a successful flight from England to America and return in 1920. Mr. Stevens is a member of and is on the council of the Institute of Automotive Engineers, England, and the Institute of Metals, England. Chest, as the Committee likes to call it, may leave it with any member of the Committee or telephone and it will be called for. "The articles needed are toys, in good condition and clean, clothes, new or old if they must be clean and mended.) Mankets, comforts, sheets, pillow cases, furniture in good condition, nuts, raisins, oranges, apples, candies, jams, jellies, preserves, canned goods, groceries such as flour, sugar, coffee, beans, rice, cereals. "If any money is donated it will be used by the Committee to buy a Christmas rosette of beef for each box, which will be distributed the day before Christmas, and anything else needed. "The day before Christmas the Committee would like several helpers to assist in packing the boxes and several automobiles to distribute the packed boxes. "The Committee is telling about the plan early this year so that no one needing help will be overlooked and so that everyone may have a chance to make a contribution to the "Great Christmas Chest." "In addition to the above, the Committee hopes to be able to fill the requests in the letters sent to Santa Claus. We are asking the postmaster to deliver all letters addressed to Santa Claus to us. Each request will be investigated and where the parents are not able to fill the order the Committee will try to. Of course you all understand there will be no attempt made to fulfill requests from children of well-deprived parents. In these cases the letters will be mailed to the parents and it will be their privilege to be Santa Claus to their own. "Another thing the Committee hopes do this year is to help the house-servers solve the beggar problem. Now at the time to start its tramp is beginning to appear in our midst. We suggest this plan and if everyone will do as requested Anaheim will soon have a reputation and tramps will pass us. "The plan is this:—When anyone asks for something to eat or wear tell him "No." Then tell him to go to the Police Department at the City Hall and ask for the City Welfare Worker who will investigate the request and..."
