Adams and Jack Roberts, deputy sheriffs, are alleged to have found a quantity of liquor in the rear of the restaurant. According to officers, 24 pints of whisky were concealed in paper sacks, under a counter, at the rear of the place. The restaurant formerly was occupied by Fernando Ochoa, one-armed Mexican, who had been arrested several times by officers on liquor charges during the last two years. Students and Faculties of All Schools to Participate A big musical concert, with the music furnished by the high schools of the county and with students and faculties of all the high schools invited as guests, is being planned by a committee consisting of Miss Phyllis Keyes of Orange, Miss Myrtle Martin of Santa Ana, and Harold E. Walberg of Fullerton. It is planned to have the concert in Huntington Beach, early in May. It will be non-competitive, with only ensemble organizations taking part. Incidentally, it is announced that Orange county high school have withdrawn from the Elsteddfod association, to which the High schools of the county have belonged for three or four years. Instead of having contests under the direction of the Elsteddfod association, the high schools are to have a big get-together meeting, at which every high school will have an opportunity to present its musical organizations. The decision in favor of the carnival and against the organization with a name that is hard to spell and say was reached at a recent conference of county high school principals and heads of music departments. At that meeting the consensus was strongly against remaining with the Elsteddfod largely for the reason that the Elsteddfod's competitive arrangements have been beyond the years of ordinary high school student musicians. For instance, it was pointed out that the Elsteddfod number selected for bands entering in competition with each other is a number that only professional bands attempt with any degree of success. For two or three years the high school orchestras have been asked to play numbers that should be confined to big symphony organizations. "It's a strain on faculties and students to try to reach the selections given us," declared one director. "We are therefore unable to get the best out of our organizations and are unable to carry them along normal lines of development. The Elsteddfod association is organized for the purpose of fostering widespread interest in music, and has been securing the co-operation of the high schools."

NAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, February 10, 1927 COMMISSION APPOINTED BY Landowners Win Judgment Against Orana Theater JUDGMENT was awarded Mr. and Mrs. Victor W. Sutton of Orana for $2150 against the estate of the late Theodore Roberts, Anaheim theater owner, for delinquent rental upon a lease of ground occupied by the Orana theater. The judgment also included taxes upon the property, paid by the plaintiffs. According to testimony at the trial in Superior Judge James L. Allen's court, the land was leased for 20 years at $100 per month. At the time of Roberts' death, in 1925, the sum of $450 was due, and no rental had since been paid. There was no contest made by the defendants against the plantiff's claim. Attorneys Rush and McCormae, Los Angeles, represented the estate, Attorney L. F. Coburn of Orange appearing for Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. The Orana theater property is that involved in another court action, tried Monday before Superior Judge H. G. Ames. In the latter action Herman J. Snow, local electrical dealer, is attempting to get judgment for $714 against the land to satisfy a lien for work done in the theater for Barnett and McDermott. OLD DIRECTORS RE-ELECTED FOR NEW YEAR MEMBERS OF CITRUS ASSOCIATION SATISFIED WITH PRESENT MANAGEMENT W. H. Schureman Again Chosen Secretarl-Manager, and O. E. Steward Elected Chairman of Board of Directors; Reports or Heavy Damage in Florida Discussed at Meeting; Bright Outlook for Coming Season MORE than three hundred persons attended the annual meeting of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association at the Elks clubhouse last Thursday and National Orange Show Will Draw Record Throngs WITH the Seventeenth National Orange Show at San Bernardino opening in about a week—running from February 17 to 27—everything is ready to receive the throngs of visitors. Every inch of space has been taken—rack display space, feature exhibit reservations, and booth space in the big industrial and auto departments. The program has been perfected. Within the next two weeks the great permanent home of the show will be a beehive of activity as exhibits are installed, then California's Greatest Midwinter Exposition will be on. Such was the summary of preparations made by officials of the National Orange Show. They added that never before in the history of the show have the wheels of preparation moved more swiftly; that never before has such general widespread interest obtained in this great show throughout all the Southland. Among the eighteen beautiful feature exhibits, built up of oranges and citrus fruit of various kinds, the following organizations and communities have already designed, built or installed their exhibitions. Speakers Discuss Proposed Highway Manchester Boulevard Association Meets at Fullerton Manchester boulevard, the proposed new highway from Los Angeles to Anaheim, was under discussion at a meeting of the Greater Manchester Boulevard Improvement Association, held at Fullerton Monday evening. In the communications read by the secretary, there was one of importance from the city clerk of Los Angeles, in which he stated that the request which was made by the Manchester organization for $100,000 toward the Manchester project, might be granted by Los Angeles. George Baker, the executive secretary of the eastside organization of Los Angeles, gave a report concerning the work which is now in progress on the boulevard project. He stated that the county of Los Angeles, at the present time, has six crews of surveyors working on the Manchester boulevard project and, from all indications, the county is actively interested. He also reported that the surveying on both the west end and the east end of the boulevard is practically completed. Baker stated to the group that the Manchester project was about fourth on the list of construction activities to be carried out by Los Angeles county, while a short time ago it was down the list. Secretary Baker gave an instructive talk on the many boulevards which are either under construction at the present time or are planned in Los Angeles. He added that these boulevards are all headed for Orange county and that it is up to the county of Orange to continue with the boulevards in Orange county. The seven projects are East Beverly boulevard, Ninth street, Slauson, East Washington, Bauer avenue, Florence avenue and Manchester boulevard. According to Baker, these projects are not little by any means, as sum of $450 was due, and no rental had since been paid. There was no contest made by the defendants against the plantiff's claim. Attorneys Rush and McCormac, Los Angeles, represented the estate, Attorney L. F. Coburn of Orange appearing for Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. The Orana theater property is that involved in another court action, tried Monday before Superior Judge H. G. Ames. In the latter action Herman J. Snow, local electrical dealer, is attempting to get judgment for $714 against the land to satisfy a lien for work done in the theater for Barnett and McDowell, who held a sub-lease from the Roberts estate. The case was submitted to the court on briefs, on the question whether the land owners, not being interested in the building and having no knowledge of the work, could be held liable for it. It is now under advisement. MORE than three hundred persons attended the annual meeting of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association at the Elks clubhouse last Thursday and heard Manager Schurman's report of a very successful year. They also listened to interesting addresses by Paul Armstrong, assistant general manager of the California Fruit Exchange; Oscar Cornwell, traffic manager of the Exchange, and Dale R. King, manager of the Northern Orange County Exchange. Mr. Armstrong, in his address, discussed the advertising program of the exxchange, pointing out the effect such advertising was having towards bringing better returns to growers who market under the "Sunkist" brand, and Mr. Cornwell, as traffic manager, explained in detail the process of marketing the fruit from the time it leaves the packing house until it reaches the eastern markets. Mr. King gave a report in general on the activities of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange during the season just closed. After enjoying an excellent feed at noon, the stockholders went into session for the transaction of business and discussion of questions pertinent to the association. A report from a representative of the Exchange, who has been investigating the Florida situation was listed to with much interest, as it has a very significant meaning to the growers here. The report shows that at least 50 per cent of the Florida crop has been destroyed by an unusual freeze, and that many of the trees have been badly damaged. While the members did not rejoice over the misfortune that has overtaken their competitors, this situation in our sister state unmistakably means that there will be a greater demand for California fruit next year, with consequent better prices. The report is printed in another article in this paper. All the old board of directors were elected. They are S. C. Hartranft, O. E. Stewart, J. J. Dawyer, Charles Eygabroad, C. E. Jones, Ben Baxter, B. L. Chandler, Fred H. Zaiser, and Dr. J. W. Harpster. The board organized by electing O. E. Steward president. Mr. Steward was vice-president during the past year, and his old position was filled by the election of B. L. Chandler to the vacancy. W. H. Schurman was selected secretary-manager, and the First National Bank was chosen as the repository. B. L. Chandler was named to represent the board on the board of directors of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, of which the Anaheim association is a member. The annual meeting of the Northern W. H. Schurman Again Chosen Secretarl-Manager, and O. E. Steward Elected Chairman of Board of Directors; Reports or Heavy Damage in Florida Discussed at Meeting; Bright Outlook for Coming Season Christian Endeavor Meeting at Orange County Association Has Intresting Session Last Sunday The Orange County Christian Endeavor Union held its regular meeting at 2:30 o'clock at the First Presbyterian church in Orange, Sunday, February 6. Miss Edith Culter, county Christian Endeavor president, presided as usual. The meeting was opened by songs and devotional service. A number of county officers and superintendents gave reports and announcements. Herbert Rankin, ex-state Christian Endeavor president and chairman of the present Santa Ana convention committee, gave a short talk concerning the state convention which is to be held in Santa Ana June 22-26. This is the state convention, and Christian Endeavors are looking forward to it with enthusiasm. It was announced that the first society to be pre-registered 100 per cent will not be asked for any further financial assistance for the convention by the county union. Herchell Settle gave an interesting talk about the Christian Endeavor pledge. Rev. R.A. Weld of Westminster helpfully explained the meaning of the Life Work Recruits and the significance of the pledge. Rev. Cochran, state pantoral counselor, pronounced the benediction. OFF FOR CHINA Ensign Tom McGeoy of the U.S.S.Tennessee, who was to have been entertained here by a number of his young friends at a house party, sends his regrets, being unable to be present on account of leaving for Chinese waters on the cruiser Pittsburg. The ensign has been in town several times, and has many friends among the younger set. The party has been postponed until his return. He carries him best wishes of many Secretary Baker gave an instructive talk on the many boulevards which are either under construction at the present time or are planned in Los Angeles. He added that these boulevards are all headed for Orange county and that it is up to the county of Orange to continue with the boulevards in Orange county. The seven projects are East Beverly boulevard, Ninth street, Slauson, East Washington, Baker avenue, Florence avenue and Manchester boulevard. According to Baker, these projects are not little by any means, as evidenced by the fact that all of them will be 100-foot boulevards. He said that on the east side of Los Angeles, at the present time, there are 75 miles of highways under construction, the greater part being the already named boulevards. These projects are costing the county of Los Angeles about $6,500,000. The need for all of these boulevards was emphasized by Mr. Baker, when he told of the dozens of large eastern industries which have representatives at the present time "looking over the field" for locations for industries. The first thing that the men look for is the transportation facilities or the highways, Mr. Baker said. MISS EASTON HONORED Miss Mary Easton of this city has been appointed to the women's personnel committee at the University of California. Miss Easton is a member of the sophomore class of the university. She is enrolled in the College of Letters and Science, and during the college semester lives at 2325 Piedmont avenue. This group keeps an accurate account of each girl throughout her college life. It has charge of all women's appointments on the campus, endeavoring to give each girl an equal chance to work on committees and to place her on those committees which are best suited to her. By a system of files which the personnel committee is now completing, each girl will be able to check back on her entire college record.

EYE REMOVED Fred Rimpau, son of Mrs. Adolph Rimpau, underwent a surgical operation at a Los Angeles hospital on Tuesday for the removal of an eye. While working in the shipyards at San Pedro, during the war, he was so unfortunate as to have a bit of flying steel lodge in his eye, and it has been giving him great trouble ever since. However, for several years the trouble subsided, until recently, when severe palms intervened again. A surgical operation was decided upon, and this was successfully performed Tuesday. The patient is resting comfortably with prospects excellent for speedy recovery. The First National Bank of Anaheim, plaintiff in a suit against L. R.

ANAHEIM—YOUR CITY Founded by German Colonists, 1857 Assessed Value, 1925, $10,500,000 School System Valued at $951,000 Number 18 ED BY TRUSTEES SUPERVISORS ASK STATE TO ASSIST IN BUILDING HARBOR Resolution Adopted Yesterday Requesting an Appropriation of Quarter of a Million Dollars for Development Work BECAUSE of the refusal of Orange county people to vote a bonded indebtedness of $650,000 upon themselves for the improvement of Newport harbor, advocates of the harbor proposition are now casting about for other means of financing the movement. The city of Newport Beach has called an election to vote on a proposition to bond itself for half a million dollars, and now the supervisors are asking the state to make an appropriation of $250,000 for the purpose. If this is granted by the legislature, there is little doubt that the federal government will make a substantial appropriation toward the project and Newport bay will eventually become a safe harbor for ocean-going vessels. New Directors for Industrial Land Co. Finley Buys Site for Paving Plant in Industrial Tract The Industrial Community Land Company, organized for the purpose of New Directors for Industrial Land Co. Finley Buys Site for Paving Plant in Industrial Tract The Industrial Community Land Company, organized for the purpose of furnishing sites for industrial plants, held a meeting of stockholders last week and elected a board of directors to serve during the coming year. The new board of seven members consists of William Stark, F. A. Yungbluth, Henry Adams, Ernest Ganahl, H. A. Hawley, Dr. H. A. Johnston and M. E. Beebe. Johnston, Beebe and Hawley are new members of the board, taking the place of three who retired. The board will meet within a few days to elect officers. The company's indebtedness is $6813 plus interest due on notes payable February 15, according to the report of the treasurer, which shows $4,860.70 in collectable outstanding notes due the company and $2857.69 in notes which are believed to be a total loss. In 1924 the company was formed to purchase a 40-acre tract in north Anaheim. The property cost the company $66,300 of which all but $6813 has been paid, together with interest and taxes. Since then one and one-half acres have been sold for industrial purposes. It has been proposed that a portion of the tract be subdivided and sold in order to complete payment of the indebtedness, but no action has been taken on the proposal. The land was purchased originally with the intention of having suitable sites to offer industries, the land to be sold, leased or donated as the directors of the company might deem best for the community, according to the secretary. Sale of a half acre tract of land owned by the company to Steele Finley, paving contractor, for $1500 and the granting of an option on another half acre lot to the same party, was one of the features of the report of George W. Reid, secretary, at the annual meeting. Finley has already built a paving plant on the lot he purchased, and he is said to contemplate purchasing the remainder if success in securing further contracts in this vicinity. Linguistic Abnormalities A bizarre announcer, who earns his living mauling English, says concerning the radio bill in the Senate, that the upper house may be compelled to invoke the "cloister" rule. Of course he means cloture. Cloister refers to a monastery or a convent, and literature is filled with many beautiful references to these sacred places. Cloture means a limitation of debate, and is a very appropriate proceeding when senators set to vote on a proposition to bond itself for half a million dollars, and now the supervisors are asking the state to make an appropriation of $250,000 for the purpose. If this is granted by the legislature, there is little doubt that the federal government will make a substantial appropriation toward the project and Newport bay will eventually become a safe harbor for ocean-going vessels. The supervisors Wednesday adopted a resolution requesting Assemblyman Ball to introduce a bill asking an appropriation of a quarter of a million dollars for the purpose, pointing out that the budget provides for financing work in several other harbors of the state. Should this bill pass, which in all likelihood it will, there is little doubt that the federal government will step in, and Orange county will have a commercial harbor. Pledging its support to the campaign for state aid, the board adopted the resolution as introduced by Supervisor George Jeffrey. It is as follows: Whereas, the present budget of the state of California includes a special appropriation bill for $419,000 for the purpose of development of the Stockton deep water channel; a recurrent appropriation of $600,000 for Long Beach harbor, and Whereas other appropriation bills have been introduced into the state legislature seeking state aid for water way development, including one by Assemblyman Reindollar, for development of San Rafael harbor, and Whereas Orange county harbor development is of major importance to Southern California, and particularly to the counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, and, as such, is entitled to state aid in development. Be it resolved that the board of Supervisors of Orange county hereby requests Assemblyman C. D. Ball to prepare and introduce at the present session of the state legislature an appropriation bill calling for $250,000 for the development of Orange county harbor, and Resolved that the board of supervisors hereby pledges its support and influence to the passage of such a bill to the end that Orange county harbor secure the state aid in its development to which it is entitled." Linguistic Abnormalities A bizarre announcer, who earns his living mauling English, says concerning the radio bill in the Senate, that the upper house may be compelled to invoke the "cloister" rule. Of course he means cloture. Cloister refers to a monastery or a convent, and literature is filled with many beautiful references to these sacred places. Cloture means a limitation of debate, and is a very appropriate proceeding when senators set out to talk bills to death instead of voting upon them, even though some people call it a gag rule. But when one's ears are vexed by such monstrosities as hastily "impoverished" hospitals for hastily improvised hospitals, "expatiated," Japs for expatriated Japs, bishop co-agitator for bishop coadjutor, "amenable" settlement for amicable settlement, "authoritative" for authoritative, "hypothetical," "hypotheticate" for hypothecate—in the one instance dropping a syllable and in the next picking one up, like the man from abroad who drops his "h's" and then picks them up—what's the use of cavilling about this latest malaproprian atrocity. FOUR-FOURS CLUB Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth entertained the Four-Fours Club at their meeting on Thursday evening. The guests were requested to come attired in old-fashioned garb, and there was much runmaging in attics and old trunks with, in some cases, fantastic results. After a bountiful 7 o'clock dinner, the usual game of whist was played, at which prizes were won by Miss Winifred Melrose and Fred Backs. A delightful evening was spent and all voted the old-fashioned part a wonderful success. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Heyling are rejoicing over the arrival of a son and heir at their house. He is a husky youngster and all concerned are doing well. Intoxication Charge Long Beach Man Must Pay Penalty for Indiscretion It required a jury but 25 minutes Tuesday to find J. D. Lauricelli of Long Beach guilty of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. He will be sentenced Friday. Lauricelli figured in an automobile accident on Santa Ana canyon road last September 7, and his prosecution grew out of that incident. E. Hill of Riverside, the other driver in the wreck, swore to the complaint against the Long Beach man. It was the first case to come before the new superior court jury panel, and the jurors were quick to decide it. They retired at 3:15 p.m., after counsel for state and defense had finished argument, and reported their verdict at 3:40 through Foreman A. V. Vall. Judge Homer G. Ames ordered Lauricelli to appear Friday at 9:30 a.m. for sentence, which holds the possibility of a three-year term in state's prison or a $5000 fine, with a minimum penalty of 90 days in the county jail or a $200 fine. Lauricelli's license must be suspended for a year, whatever his sentence. It is said. He was forced to go to jail Tuesday, when his ball was increased from $500 to $1500. Members of the jury were A. V. Vall, J. R. Fowler, C. L. Hallett, H. C. Moberly, J. H. Snoemaker, Aletha Havener, Mrs. Winnifred Tremblly, William Stark, W. S. Corson, Oswald Staples, August Lemke and H. E. Smith. District Attorney Z. B. West, Jr., and Chief Deputy L. W. Blodget conducted the prosecution, Blodget handling the argument for the state. O. A. Jacobs, Santa Ana attorney, defended Lauricelli. Her husband made love to various women, according to Mrs. Thelma Skinner of Anaheim, whose story won her a divorce from Donald Skinner, in Judge James L. Allen's court. The court awarded Mrs. Skinner the family residence and $25 per month alimony. Attorney S. B. Kaufman, Santa Ana, represented Mrs. Skinner.
