It is six years since the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce conceived and gave birth to an annual Valencia orange show as a companion of the annual navel show given at San Bernardino and, in the estimation of competent judges, this was the most beautiful of all preceding it. Last year the Italian Renassance period of five hundred years ago was drawn upon for decorations, but this year the managers harked back two thousand years further into the past and adopted the style of architecture, decorations and costumes in vogue in Greece when Greece was the dominating nation of the world. These decorations were taken from that particular period when Menelaus, the Grecian king, was fighting Priam, king of Troy, for the recovery of his stolen wife, Helen, and when Agamemnon, Achilles, Ajax and Hector were carving their names on the everlasting tablets of fame. The theme furnished a vehicle for the decorations of unlimited possibilities, and the artists caught the spirit and faithfully repeated the Hellenic ideas. All the feature exhibits in the main tent carried out the Grecian design. The Los Angeles county feature, which won first prize for entries without mechanical action, represented a character driving three horses at furious speed over a field of Valencia oranges. The chariot was Greek, the dapple gray steeds were Greek, and the driver was garbed in the Greek costume of the period. The city of Pomona was second in this class, its display being a tall Doric column, built of oranges, resting on a pedestal of oranges, and surmounted by a life-size statue of Pomona, goddess of fruits. San Bernardino, with a Greek pergola, got third place, and the Anaheim Lumbermen's Association fourth. Yorba Linda, with a Greek war ship, propelled by 64 galley slaves (the oars were visible but the slaves were not) won first for exhibit with mechanical action. The ship was floating in a blue sea and the oars were in constant motion. This is the type of ship the Greeks employed at the siege of Troy. Newport Beach, with its harbor scene, a boat floating on a billowy sea, and stacks of oranges waiting for shipment in sea-going vessels, was given second place. The Anaheim Union high school captured third, its display being a Greek pergola with a life-size statue of Atlanta, the swift-footed Greek maiden, who lost a race because she stopped to pick up a Valencia orange, which mythological history describes as a golden apple. The Fullerton Chamber of Commerce had a reproduction of the Parthenon, and Santa Ana exhibited a charlotte driving his five-horse team to victory as an example of the triumph of cooperation over individual effort. Work of dismantling the show began Monday morning, each individual exhibitor looking after his own. The millions of oranges, lemons, grapefruit and other fruits were disposed of by the exhibitors to independent packers and are to be shipped to eastern markets. Residents of the great cities in the East will soon have the privilege of Kiwanians Greet Superior Judge H. G. Ames, Former President of Club, Honored Kiwanians turned their regular weekly meeting on Tuesday afternoon into a testimonial to Judge Homer G. Ames, until recently president of the club. Judge Ames was present and responded to the words of commendation given by the Rev. Benjamin S. Haywood and O. E. Steward. Rev. Haywood complimented the club on the honor of having one of its number on the superior court bench, and assured Judge Ames that the club has no doubt of his ability to make good in his newly acquired position. Mr. Steward related his early acquaintance with Judge Ames, which dates back 19 years. Three students from the Santa Ana Junior college presented the program for the luncheon, which was for the purpose of advertising the work of the college. Miss Marcela Keeler gave a piano solo. The purpose of the college in the training of the citizenry of the nation was explained by John H. McCoy, speaking on "Education." Ray Hutchins, accompanied by Miss Keeler, gave as a cornet solo Schubert's Serenade. Robert Easton presided. It was announced that Fred Backs and Charles Mann, delegates to the Kiwanis International convention at Montreal, will leave Los Angeles Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Mann will accompany the delegates. The club plans to have a delegation present to bid the club representatives farewell. ADOPT RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION Under the date of May 10, 1925, at an open meeting of the Orange County Printers' Association, the following resolution of appreciation was adopted and spread upon the minutes of the meeting: "That not only this Association, but the entire printers' organizations of Southern California feel very keenly the greatest loss that has ever come to it in the death of our excellent and honorable friend and brother, Edward Pickering.

In addition to adding problem, he noted added advantage further development work among the six these pupils are going one school building trained in particular school work could instruction. Fayette Lewis on street assumed lead the parents' side strongly opposed to count of the increase of children working school. "It is unfortunately mistake by a former have placed a school limits which cannot present time," he did not right that the grade should be contri mistakes of a. "The health of them considered first. So would have to travel plan of using them followed. And they considered. They had their children in they are domiciled expected to drop their children to another." The meeting veered against them The Fullerton Chamber of Commerce had a reproduction of the Parthenon, and Santa Ana exhibited a charioteer driving his five-horse team to victory as an example of the triumph of cooperation over individual effort. Work of dismantling the show began Monday morning, each individual exhibitor looking after his own. The millions of oranges, lemons, grapefruit and other fruits were disposed of by the exhibitors to independent packers and are to be shipped to eastern markets. Residents of the great cities in the East will soon have the privilege of consuming fruit that carried off the prizes at the big show. Several million oranges were used in the rack exhibits and the feature displays, and they were worth many thousands of dollars. The racks and other equipment will remain the property of the orange show association, and can be used next year. The automobile men were well satisfied and consider the show a profitable one to them. Many sales were made and many prospects booked. Also they were privileged to demonstrate their cars to thousands of persons. The prospective buyer also had an opportunity of looking over all the makes and determining which particular car appealed to him. Manager George W. Reid states that he is well satisfied with the show in every particular, and that the financial end of it is in good shape. The attendance was not as large as last year, the paid admissions being 45,875. Eighteen thousand of these were family tickets sold in advance at 25 cents each. OFF FOR MONTREAL Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Mann and Fred A. Backs leave on Sunday morning for Montreal to attend the international meeting of Kiwanis clubs. They drive in the former's car to Los Angeles, where, at 10:30 o'clock, they take a train for the north. Several hundred delegates will be aboard. They will go north to San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, and thence over the Canadian Pacific east. On their return they will stop off at Washington and other cities. They go as far south as Florida, and come home over the southern route. They will be absent a month. Under the date of May 10, 1925, at an open meeting of the Orange County Printers' Association, the following resolution of appreciation was adopted and spread upon the minutes of the meeting: "That not only this Association, but the entire printers' organizations of Southern California feel very keenly the greatest loss that has ever come to it in the death of our excellent and honorable friend and brother, Edward Pickering. "That his passing from our midst has certainly left a void that cannot be filled. His personality, optimism and co-operation did more for the printers of this great commonwealth than any other single thing that has ever come to it. "The greatest monument that can be called to his memory is not only the Orange County Printers' Association, but the large and growing association of the Southern California Franklin Printers. "Mr. Pickering laid the foundation with his own hands for all the present organizations now in existence. "Now our great friend has passed from mortal lilies to the land of eternal life, yet we will ever know his spirit is with us, helping to carry on." GOING AFTER TROUT Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Beard departed this week for the mountains in Inyo county, where they will fish for trout in the waters on the east side of the coast range. At Molave they were joined by a party of friends, who accompanied them to the fishing grounds. Mr. Beard says he will forget the cares of office for a week or more, and the "hello" girls will have to get along without him. He is one of the most enthusiastic fishermen in the state. HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Orange County Historical Society will meet at the Women's Round Table clubhouse, Placentia, Saturday, May 29, 1926, at 2:30 p.m. "The Story of Placentia" will be told by Mrs. C.

Gauer. Invitations had been mailed to 127 families whose children are expected to be in the sixth grade next year, to be present at the meeting. Approximately 30 of these families were represented. Fifty persons were present. Frank N. Gibbs, president of the school board, presided, introducing Superintendent Gauer. "The Anaheim school board is confronted with the problem of providing for crowded conditions next year at CITY MANAGERS ASSOCIATION MEETING MONTHLY SESSION HELD SATURDAY AT CITY HALL, ANAHEIM Many Officials From Neighboring Towns Gather Here to Exchange Ideas; Visitors Impressed With Our Municipal Park, and Gather Data for Use at Home; Also Enjoy and Admire Orange Show THE Southern California City Managers' Association held its monthly meeting in Anaheim Saturday. Seven Memorial Services At the Cemeteries Services Will Be Held Monday at Anaheim and Loma Vista Rev. A. B. Markle will make the principal address at the Anaheim cemetery on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31. This is the third time Comrade Markle has been drafted into mugking this speech, the first time being twenty years ago. At that time there were more members on the roll of Malvern Hill post, and fewer flag-decorated mounds in the cemetery. Comrade Markle is now 86 years of age, and he thinks this will be the last Memorial Day address he will ever make. Captain J. B. Root, commander of Malvern Hill post, will make the address at the services around the monument erected for the unknown dead. Services will be held in Anaheim cemetery in the morning, and at Loma Vista in the afternoon. Anaheim post, American Legion, will assist the old Civil war veterans here, and the Amer- Tuesday evening in the auditorium of the Freemont intermediate school, where the project was outlined by Superintendent of Schools Melbourne A. Gauer. Invitations had been mailed to 127 families whose children are expected to be in the sixth grade next year, to be present at the meeting. Approximately 30 of these families were represented. Fifty persons were present. Frank N. Gibba, president of the school board, presided. Introducing Superintendent Gauer. "The Anaheim school board is confronted with the problem of providing for crowded conditions next year at several of the city schools and is attempting to solve this problem by utilizing the five available classrooms at Lincoln school which are at present unused." Mr. Gauer said. "The Lincoln school is one of the most modern structures of its kind and every other modern school advantage. The board feels that it would be both wiser and more economical to put into use the empty rooms there than to build more temporary, poorly equipped cottages on any of the already crowded downtown playgrounds." Transferring all sixth grade pupils of the city to the Lincoln school would relieve the expected congestion at the other schools without the necessity of any expenditure of school funds. If the proposed plan is put into effect, 153 sixth grade pupils throughout the city would be affected. Of this number 83 would be taken to school in the school bus, and the balance would have a mile or less to walk. Bus transportation would be provided for all sixth graders living north of North Street, west of Lemon street and south of South Street. In addition to aiding the school housing problem, the new plan would have the added advantage of permitting the further development of departmental work among the sixth grade pupils. If these pupils are gathered together in one school building, teachers specially trained in particular branches of the school work could be secured for their instruction. Fayette Lewis of 709 North Lemon street assumed leadership in presenting the parents' side of the question and strongly opposed the measure on account of the increased distance some of the children would have to walk to school. "It is unfortunate that a colossal mistake by a former school board should have placed a school outside the city limits, which cannot be used at the present time," he declared. "But it is not right that the children of the sixth grade should be compelled to suffer for the mistakes of a school board. "The health of the children should be considered first. Some of these children would have to travel two miles if the plan of using the Lincoln school were followed. And the parents should be considered. They have a right to have their children in schools near where they are domiciled. Parents cannot be expected to drop their work and take their children to and from school. It would be impossible for many to do so." The meeting voted almost unanimously against the proposal. HALL, ANAHEIM Many Officials From Neighboring Towns Gather Here to Exchange Ideas; Visitors Impressed With Our Municipal Park, and Gather Data for Use at Home; Also Enjoy and Admire Orange Show THE Southern California City Managers' Association held its monthly meeting in Anaheim Saturday. Seven city managers were present, besides a number of engineers, trustees and other officials from various towns in the Southland, composing a party of twenty-one. The city managers present were Price of Anaheim, who presided at the meeting; Schoville of Monrovia, Röhe of Ontario; Stockberger of South Pasadena; Record of Fullerton, Parrish of Compton, and Irvine of Alhambra. Various subjects concerning the betterment of city government were discussed, and many valuable ideas exchanged. One of the questions under discussion was the engagement of city managers under contract. All those present opposed that plan, contending that the city council should have the power to fire a manager forthwith if he proved inefficient or was out of bernyony with the board. At noon the meeting adjointed and the visitors were entertained at lunch at the Business and Professional Women's clubhouse, on North Los Angeles street. The city park was inspected after lunch, and following that the visitors were taken to the orange show. The city was highly complimented on its beautiful park. The association has met heretofore at Monrovia, Santa Barbara, Compton, San Diego and South Pasadena. The next meeting will be held at Alhambra, on June 26. While the visitors were greatly impressed with the beauties of the orange show, they were more interested in Anaheim's municipal park, as other towns contemplate following our example and establishing similar city playgrounds. Anaheim's park is considered the best appointed and most artistically planned park in Southern California, and these visiting managers and engineers were able to get some valuable ideas from their inspection of it. In all probability parks yet to be built in other cities of the Southland will be modeled after this one. Bankers Leave For Convention William Siemann, president of the American Savings Bank, and J. G. Hilleary, vice-president of the First National Bank, left on Tuesday for Del Monte, where they will represent Anaheim at the annual convention of the California State Bankers' Association, which opened Wednesday and continues for the remainder of the week. Readjustment and consolidation of rural delivery routes have been made by Postmaster Whitaker, to take effect the first of June. The changes involve a saving of more than $1000 annually. Route No. 5 has been discontinued as a result of the economy program. Carrier George M. Bogue, 65, has retired from service and the squad will be kept at four carriers. Charles W. Hedges will take over Route No. 1, the length of which is 38.60 miles; he formerly had old Route No. 1. George M. Tedrick continues on Route No. 2, which is now over a distance of 33 miles. William J. Lowellyn, formerly on Route No. 4, will begin on Route No. 3, a distance of 43 miles, and Charles J. Johnson, formerly carrier on Route No. 5, begins on Route No. 4, a distance of 38 miles. In a circular sent patrons of the rural routes, Whitaker issues the following statement: "All boxes should be placed on the right-hand side of the road regularly years ago. At that time there were more members on the roll of Malvern Hill post, and fewer flag-decorated mounds in the cemetery.

The estate consists of real estate valued at $50,000, and notes and cash amounting to $15,000. Attorney S. M. Davis of Santa Ana represents the petitioners. Under the will of Mrs. Stadtegger, the real estate is divided equally between five sons, Albin, Herbert and Walter, of Yorba Linda; George, of San Francisco, and Charles, of Chowchilla. The $15,000 personal property, however, is left to the three sons living in Yorba Linda. REDUCES HIS WEIGHT Mr. and Mrs. James P. Halpin of Los Angeles were in town on Sunday afternoon, visiting with friends. Mr. Halpin has since his last visit here, several months ago, reduced his weight 40 pounds, and now tips the beam at 196. As he is manager of one of the largest restaurants in the city, serving thousands of guests daily, he has found it difficult to diet himself with a wealth of good things to eat all around him. However, he has set himself manfully to the task of reducing his weight, and desires to lose 15 pounds more in the near future. He and his wife are enjoying excellent health, and spent a very pleasant afternoon calling upon old-time associates. Bankers Leave For Convention William Siemann, president of the American Savings Bank, and J. G. Hillary, vice-president of the First National Bank, left on Tuesday for Del Monte, where they will represent Anaheim at the annual convention of the California State Bankers' Association, which opened Wednesday and continues for the remainder of the week. H. H. Benjamin, president of the First National Bank and vice-president of group four, comprising Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Imperial and San Diego counties, who was to have presented the report for group four, is serving on federal court jury and will be unable to attend. The report which was to have been presented by him will be read by W. B. Williams of Santa Ana. Delegates expect to return Sunday. DR. BALL WINS Sult brought by Dr. C. D. Ball, Santa Ana, against C. L. Newport, automobile painter of that city, to recover an automobile held by the painter in connection with a disputed paint and storage bill, was decided by Superior Judge Z. B. West in favor of Dr. Ball. Dr. Ball sued to recover the car or judgment for $2000. Attorneys Scarborough, Forgy and Rehhaus represented him. Attorney A. E. Koepsel appeared for Newport. The painter charged Dr. Ball $10 a day for storage of the car, which was disallowed. BOYS AT CAMBRIDGE Billy Cook is at Cambridge with the U. S. C. field and track team, and will participate in athletic events at the I. C. 4 A. on Friday and Saturday. Billy will hurt the javelin, and is expected to show the eaterners a thing or two about the missile. U. S. C. won last year's meet, and is trying to repeat this year. California defeated Princeton handily last Saturday. Boys from the coast seem to have little difficulty in nosing out their eastern cousins. EARNED ADVANCEMENT Charles R. Simons, who has had charge of the Kafateria shoe store in this city for the past six years, has been transferred to Santa Ana, where he will take charge of their large establishment. Mr. Simons has practically grown up with the Kafateria shoe stores, having become associated with this company when there were only four stores where now there are twenty-two, the largest shoe store chain on the coast: Mr. Simons has made many friends here, who will regret his departure. Mr. Welch, who has been connected with the Santa Ana store for the past year and a half, recently came to Anaheim as assistant manager. He will now take charge of the store, and will give to patrons the same courtesy and service to which they have been accustomed. In a circular sent patrons of the rural routes, Whitaker issues the following statement: "All boxes should be placed on the right-hand side of the road regularly traveled by the carrier, and should be four feet above the ground in a position easily and safely accessible for the delivery of mail by carrier without leaving his conveyance. Please do not put the number on the box; the name of the patron is recommended, but it is not obligatory." A change also has been made in the numbering of the rural boxes which will make it handler for the carrier. Instead of numbering haphazardly on routes as new boxes are put in, a few will be left blank along the route and numbers will be according to distance from the central office. This enables the carrier to arrange his mail before starting out and in that way gets him over the route quicker." ANAHEIM—YOUR CITY Founded by German Colonists, 1857 Assessed Value, 1925, $10,500,000 School System Valued at $951,000 Number 33 TERMINAL BUILDING WORK STARTED ON NEW PICKWICK TERMINAL BUILDING Great Building to House Motor Station and Hotel; Will Be One of Anaheim’s Largest and Most Beautiful Buildings CONSTRUCTION work on what will be, when completed, one of Anaheim’s largest and most beautiful buildings, is now in progress. That is, the first crew of workmen are engaged in excavating and laying the foundation. This is the Pickwick Stage Company’s terminal building and hotel, which was planned more than a year ago. Lease on the ground was secured, but as the company was considering the erection of a similar building at San Diego, it was decided to hold back the Anaheim building until plans for the San Diego terminal were completed, so that the contracts could be let together. The cost of each building will be something over $100,000, and they will be the two most beautiful stage depots in California. German Middies See Orange Show Company From Training Ship Guests of Concordia Club Eighty-nine cadets from the German training ship, Hamburg, under command of Graf von'Pfell u Klein-Elligth, oberleutnant in the German navy, visited Anaheim Wednesday for the purpose of seeing the orange show. While here they were guests of the Anaheim Concordia Society, and members of the club exerted themselves to show them things never before dreamed of in their young lives. The cadets were all boys, of course, in their early teens, but they were more interested in the mechanical exhibits in the industrial and automobile sections of the show than they were in the beautiful fruit and feature displays in the main tent. Like all Germans, they admire beauty, but are more interested in practical things. A captured German minneweiler, displayed by Brea post, American Legion, attracted much attention from them, and they were particularly anxious to learn where it was captured, who captured it, and what German command lost it in the great war. The boys consider their visit to Anaheim one of the pleasant incidents in their tour around the world. The Hamburg is circumnavigating the earth, and the trip is scheduled to last fourteen months. It is now anchored in Los Angeles harbor, but will leave on June 1. After four and one-half years' training these cadets will all receive commissions in the German navy. Unique Accident at Street Intersection F. T. Edmiston's automobile was side-swiped by a car driven by Mrs. Jack Corn at the intersection of Chartres and Olive streets Friday evening. Mr. Edmiston was driving west on Chartres and Mrs. Corn was coming down Olive from the north. The Corn car struck a rear wheel, shunting the Edmiston car across the street and turning it completely around. It stopped with a rear wheel jammed against a shade tree in the parking on Chartres street. Mrs. Corn's car swerved from its course and, when brought to a halt, was standing on Harry Jayne's lawn in front of his doorsteps on Olive street. The Edmiston car was considerably damaged. San Diego, it was decided to hold back the Anaheim building until plans for the San Diego terminal were completed, so that the contracts could be let together. The cost of each building will be something over $100,000, and they will be the two most beautiful stage depots in California. The Anaheim building is being erected at the corner of Los Angeles and Chestnut streets, on ground leased from Fred C. Rimpau. This is the only 99-year lease ever recorded in Orange county, and it will bring Mr. Rimpau and his heirs nearly a million dollars in rentals. Before the lease expires this building will have decayed, and a much greater one will stand on the ground. The new station is to be of stucco, in the Spanish style of architecture. It will have a frontage of 171 feet on Los Angeles street and 120 feet on Chestnut street. At the Los Angeles street entrance, in the center of the building a tower, 29 feet square, will rise far above the roof. Wilson & Bever, Anaheim builders, were given the contract for constructing this beautiful structure. The foundations are expected to be in and work on the walls begun within a week. The recent merger of stage lines has made some change in transit business, but does not effect the traveling public. Service between Santa Ana and Los Angeles, for the past five years handled by the Pickwick Stages system, was taken over by the Motor Transit Company. Simultaneously, all motor stage service between Los Angeles and San Diego via Anaheim was turned over to the Pickwick Stages system. The change in the service, stage officials announced, is a result of a merger of all Motor Transit company lines with those maintained by the Pickwick stages, the former taking over local lines, while the latter will handle long distance runs. It also was announced that, beginning August 1, all motor stage service handled by the Crown stages touching Santa Ana, Long Beach, Anaheim, Riverside, Pomona, Balboa, Laguna Beach and intermediate points will be taken over by the Motor Transit Company. The California railroad commission announced Saturday its approval of a merger between the Pickwick Stages, California Transit Company and the Motor Transit Company, under which undue competition is eliminated in the state. This is an important step forward in highways transportation, and places the business on a basis of stabilization as far as competition is concerned. The merger agreement just approved by the railroad commission brings the three largest carriers together under one plan of operation. Parallel routes will be eliminated; schedules adjusted; more union terminals will be built, and Route No. 1, the miles; he for Route No. 1. George M. Route No. 2, distance of 33 miles. Similarly on Route No. 3, a distance of 38 miles of the rural road regularly and should be found in a post-accessible for carrier without box; the name recommended, but it been made in the metal boxes which for the carrier, phazhazzarly on the put in, a few for the route and leading to distance. This enables his mail before way gets him.
