Meeting Held At Capistrano LOSE to 300 delegates and visitors, representing every community and association in the county attended the annual general meeting of the Fourth (Orange county) District, California Congress of Parents and Teachers, held Saturday at the high school in San Juan Capistrano. Mrs. J. V. Kelsey, Garden Grove district president, presided over the meeting, which in addition to Orange county members, was attended by a large number of outside visitors, including several state officials. Prominent among the guests was Mrs. David O. Mcars, of Washington, D.C., past national president of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and now national chairman of the department of child welfare. The morning session was given over to business matters, including the nomination and election of alternating officers.

EASTER AT METAL CHURCH "THE DAWNINESS PRESENTED OF LOCAL" More Than Fifty Play, Which Reaction of Chickformers to Be the Dress Work in the Days of Here Coachin ONE of the most interesting Events ever presented heim will be with White Temple M Los Angeles Newspaper Offers Prize, and the Contest Is Expected to Be Spirited; Teams From All Valencia Packing Houses Are Expected to Enter the Race in an Effort to Win This Handsome New Trophy ONE of the interesting new features that will be introduced at the seventh annual Valencia Orange Show, opening here on May 19 and closing on May 28, will be a speed contest entered into between the many packing houses in the Valencia belt. Details of the contest are not yet made public, but it is expected to be a splitted one, and the visitors will witness some swift work on the part of the girls representing the different houses. The Los Angeles Express, following its policy of standing squarely behind every movement designed to make California a bigger and more prosperous commonwealth, has announced that it will furnish a $500 silver loving cup, to be presented to the California packing house that enters the winning team of packers in the packing contest to be held at the California Valencia Orange Show at Anaheim, May 19 to 28. This announcement on the part of The Express has fanned the enthusiasm of directors of the Anaheim show to a high pitch, for they have determined to make this year's Valencia exhibition the biggest in history. The beautiful cup selected by The Express for the winning packing house is to be handsomely engraved and will become the property of the house winning it three times in succession. The packers of the state are lauding this year's management of the Valencia show for the step they have taken in introducing a new idea into Orange exhibition, that of the packing contest, for they say it will encourage the industry to even greater efforts to achieve perfection in that particular feature than it has put forth in the past. The beauty of orange packs from California has long been the subject of comment all over the world; it is said, and the demonstration of packing processes as planned for Anaheim will increase this fame and eventually bring about new ideas for improvement. The contest, it is confidently expected, will in the very near future bring entrants from every Orange producing area of the world and thereby cause the California orange industry, especially the packing houses, to step into the international limelight. Relief Association Doing Good Work Report Shows 35 Children Now Being Cared for Anaheim C. of C. Sued for Big Sum Mrs. Kittie Andrews Alleges Her Loss Was Over $23,000 Mrs. Kittie Andrews has filed suit in superior court against the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, asking a judgment for $23,015 for damages alleged to have been sustained by her because that body failed to carry out its contract to purchase an orange ranch from her. The complaint sets forth that the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce contracted July 31, 1922, to buy 16 acres of orange land from her for a total purchase price of $45,000. Only $5000 was paid, the complaint shows, when the property was allowed to revert to Mrs. Andrews. The complaint itemises the major causes for damage as follows: Depreciation of irrigation ditches and pipes, $2000; wearing out pumping plant motor, $675; damage to residence, $1325; failure to fumigate properly, $255; damage to 500 orange trees because of poor care, $11,750, and for loss of fruit, $7000. All of which Dr. H. A. Johnston, former president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, denies. The land in question is located on North Palm street, not far from the present site of the California Valencia Orange Show, and was purchased for a permanent site for this show. Dr. Johnston explains. He asserts that the defendant corporation's books show that much money was spent to make the land pay a return on the investment, and without result. The property was returned to Mrs. Andrews about a year ago. Since the Chamber of Commerce turned the property back to Mrs. Andrews the latter has sold slightly less than five acres of the tract to the Anaheim grammar school district for $16,000, which Dr. Johnston points out is more than the Chamber of Commerce had agreed to pay.

The catkins, or fertilizing tassel, which drop the pollen on the tiny walnut buds, are held to be very abundant. Inasmuch as nature supplies sufficient food, in the form of pollen from the tassels for the growth of every embryo nut, it would seem, growers said, that the walnut crop is to be very heavy. Last year, when the crop was far below normal, the catkins were a scarce article. There are also indications that the codling moth infestation will be lighter this year than in the past three years, although this condition is not an indication of a certain fact, as was demonstrated in 1925, when the indications for a light infestation turned out to be the real harbinger of a serious condition. The last week in May or the first week in June was said to be the proper time for spraying.

It is a pageant of the resurrection, and the title given by the author is "The Dawning." More than fifty characters—men, women, boys and girls—will take part in it, and all will be garbed in the costumes worn in Jerusalem in the days of Christ. This play does not depict the life of Christ before the crucifixion, but reproduces a scene after the resurrection. Rev. Lyman R. Bayard, author of the pageant, has been in Anaheim several days, watching rehearsals and coaching the players in their several parts.

The last week in May or the first week in June was said to be the proper time for spraying. By means of a combination spray, both aphis and moth may be controlled so as to make the operation advisable if there are no indications of severe moth blight. Just at the present time, walnut growers are killing the coccoons of the codling moth caught in thburlap bands wrapped around the trees last fall. So far the number of coccoons found has been very negligible, but the vigilance should not be lessened on that account, it was explained. Watershed Survey May Be Continued Senator Swing Asks $50,000 to Carry on the Work Survey of the watershed of the Santa Ana river will continue for at least another two years, if a bill introduced in the Senate by Ralph Swing of San Bernardino is finally approved. The senator from San Bernardino introduced a bill providing for an appropriation of $50,000 to carry on the survey under direction of State Engineer Paul Bailey. The state engineer, through men from his office, has been engaged for two years in investigations concerning the surface flow of the river and tributaries. The work has been carried on through an appropriation of $25,000 by the state and a duplication amount by the three counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino. According to Col. S. H. Finley, organizations concerned with conserving the waters of the Santa Ana river had discussed the proposition of asking the state for an appropriation of $76,000 for continuation of investigations. The suggested appropriation of $50,000 indicates that final decision has been made to cut the original amount. Investigations in the past two years have been limited to surface surveys, and Finley says that if $50,000 more is made available, it will be used in a study of underground water conditions in the area embraced in the river watershed and investigations on the Mojave river. Although anticipated for many months, the state engineering department has not submitted a final report on its findings under investigations that have been made. A brief preliminary report has been given Governor C. C. Young. Conservation work For many years there has been discussions and disputes over the water that occasionally flows down the Santa Ana river, because companies and corporations in the inland counties attempt to divert the stream to the use of their own communities, thus depriving this section of the water that is needed for irrigation purposes. The matter has reached a point now where it must be decided in court. The Santa Ana River Company, which is a holding company for the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company and the Anaheim Union Water Company, has filed suit to enjoin the city of Redlands and certain water companies from diverting water from the Santa Ana river watershed. Head, Rutan and Scovel, of Santa Ana, are attorneys for the company, and associated with them is the legal firm of Haas & Dunnigan, of Los Angeles. The latter firm filed the suit Friday. In addition to the city of Redlands, the defendants are the Bear Valley Mutual Water Company, Craftton Water Company, East Lugonia Mutual Water Company, Moreno Water Company, Moreno Mutual Irrigation Company and various individuals operating under the name of Hendrick ranches. Discussing the suit, H. C. Head of the Santa Ana firm of attorneys, said that it had only recently been discovered that water is being diverted from the watershed by means of a tunnel carrying water from San Timiteo creek, a branch of the Santa Ana river, into Moreno valley. He pointed out that local water companies had knowledge of the existence of the tunnel for some years, but that it was not known until quite recently that water carried through the tunnel originated within the watershed. The water is from Bear Valley lake and Mill creek, it was found upon investigation. Five wells in San Timiteo canyon are producing approximately 500 inches of water that is being diverted to Moreno valley through the tunnel, he said. It is anticipated that the city of Redlands and the other defendants will wage a firece legal battle to protect their use of the water. Important points as to water rights are involved in the suit and consideration and decision of the points at issue will be watched with the keenest interest by Orange county residents.

Miss Martha Adams and Miss Florence Backa have been spending the week at Seal Beach as the guests of Mrs. Arthur Lewis. Since the court's verdict came in allowing her no alloym, Peaches Brown knows what it means to have loved and lost. Investigations in the past two years have been limited to surface surveys, and Finley says that if $50,000 more is made available, it will be used in a study of underground water conditions in the area embraced in the river watershed and investigations on the Mojave river. Although anticipated for many months, the state engineering department has not submitted a final report on its findings under investigations that have been made. A brief preliminary report has been given Governor C. C. Young. Conservation work on the river proposed by Orange county will be influenced to some extent by the report of the state engineer, and for this reason considerable importance attaches to a complete report on the situations discovered by the investigators. Finley said that should the appropriation bill be adopted by the legislature and signed by the governor, it is possible the final report of the department would be delayed until completion of the underground investigations. Airplane Crashes On Trial Flight William Tremaine, Brea filer, and Otto Shaffer, of Anaheim, escaped with a few scratches Wednesday morning when the new airplane which Tremaine was piloting turned over while landing on the Anaheim industrial tract. The plane's propeller was broken in the spill, but otherwise the machine escaped damage. The filers were pinned beneath the plane. The accident was due to the uneven condition of the field and not to any fault of the plane or the pilot, according to reports. Tremaine and Albert Thaheld, a young Austrian designer, were the builders of the Brea "Humming Bird," which crashed in an airplane meet at Brea last year, killing a Long Beach man who was piloting the craft. The machine which crashed yesterday was a new type being tried out. It was designed by Thaheld. Mayor Miller Asks For Yard Cleaning Anaheim to Present Neat Appearance for Orange Show L. E. Miller, acting mayor of Anaheim during the absence of Carl Leonard, has issued a proclamation reminding all citizens that this is springtime, the time for house-cleaning and yard-cleaning. While the mayor does not touch on the house-cleaning proposition, he asks all the people of the city to clean up their yards. This is a timely suggestion, and all citizens should follow it. Within a month the orange show will open and thousands of strangers will flock here to see it. Anaheim should be dressed in her Sunday clothes to greet them. The mayor's proclamation reads as follows: "Civic pride should be sufficient inducement to all citizens of Anaheim to cause them to \evince interest in the appearance of their home city and should be the motive which should induce them to play their part in keeping up that appearance which reflects the spirit of those who live within our gates." At this season of the year, when winter is casting off its garments and the flowers and birds herald the coming of welcome spring, it is fitting that we enjoy the God-given blessings of this garden spot of the world should make special efforts to assist winter in its departure and prepare a fitting reception for the balmy sunshine of spring. "It is the time of the year when each housewife enjoys the laborious task of house-cleaning, removing the last vestige of winter's inheritance." "It is the season of the year when their use of the water. Important points as to water rights are involved in the suit and consideration and decision of the points at issue will be watched with the keenest interest by Orange county residents."

The pouring out of the liquor was a part of the spring house-cleaning the jail is getting at this time. Orlo Moncrief, jailer, has had a crew of men cleaning out the jail for the past three days. The liquor poured out yesterday was done under the supervision of Sheriff Sam Jernigan and Deputy Sheriff F. W. Howard. Scores of sacks, containing bottles, were piled up high on the court house lawn, while more than 100 curious citizens stood by and watched the trickle of it as it was dumped into the sewer. All kinds of liquor made up the pouring party. There was Scotch, corn, "mule," wine, sake, beer and gin in the hundreds of bottles.

Anaheim Bank Sues Woman for $504.55 Superior Judge Hener G. Ames and a jury are hearing the suit brought by the Bank of America, at Anaheim against Minnie Radin, to get judgment Supervisors From Inland County Confer With Orange County Board, and Suggest That This County Pay Costs of Elevating a Bridge 10 Feet; Amicable Agreement Reached, but Protest May Again Be Made RIVERSIDE county is much concerned over the prospect of Orange county building a dam across the Santa Ana river at Prado because it would back the water into that county to such a depth that it might do some damage. Two of the Riverside Supervisors met with the Orange county board Wednesday to discuss the matter and present their reasons for objecting to a high dam at the proposed site. Recent floods washed out a bridge across the Santa Ana river at Auburndale. Riverside county, and that county is now considering plans for a new bridge. But a Prado reservoir, if created by a 70-foot dam as recommended, would bring a water level within one foot of the bridge floor, as contemplated in plans for the new structure. It is said. And to raise the bridge, and abutting fills 10 feet higher, as recommended by engineers, would entail a cost of about $50,000. It is said, which Riverside feels is Orange county's responsibility. Accordingly, Chairman T. C. Jameson and Supervisor J. E. McGregor of Riverside visited the Orange county solos to outline the problem and seek an answer to it. Jameson explained that Riverside county must replace the old bridge very soon, as an important traffic route has been crippled by the washout. The location of the bridge could not be moved, as the present one is the only practical approach to the river on at least one side, and paved roads lead to the river on each side. A bridge at the former level would satisfy Riverside county's needs and a higher bridge that would cost more would be required only on Orange county's account. If Riverside county proceeded to build a bridge at the former level and it was flooded by an Orange county reservoir, Orange county would then be liable for damage. So Jameson and McGregor came here to see what Orange county wanted to do about it. They said. Local supervisors admitted the question to be a knotty one. Orange county might never build a dam, whereupon there would be no necessity for building Riverside county a high bridge. They explained to the visitors that a county flood control was now pending in the legislature, but that it had not been definitely decided whether a dam would be built, though the bill passes. On the other hand, if the county wanted to build a dam, it would be inconvenient and expensive to find a new bridge in the way. All agreed that there was a hard question to answer. Then Supervisor George Jeffrey hit upon a happy plan which it was believed would be practical. Why not go ahead with your bridge on the former level, but build one that Orange county could raise if the neces Anaheim Bank Sues Woman for $504.55 Superior Judge Homer G. Ames and a jury are hearing the suit brought by the Bank of America, at Anaheim, against Minnie Radin, to get judgment for $504.55 on a promissory note. The defendant refused to pay the note, alleging that her husband, Harry Radin, was the original maker of the note, which was given to the Golden State National Bank, at Anaheim. Radin, his wife alleges, was insolvent at the time and made an assignment of his property to the Los Angeles Wholesalers Board of Trade, in return for a full release from all debts, including the note in question. Every home owner begins to notice the influx of weeds in his lawn and among his flowers and he eagerly wields the hoe and lawn mower in order that the outward appearance of his home may correspond with the neatness of the interior over which the wife and mother reigns supreme. Therefore I, as acting mayor of the city, do hereby set aside the week beginning Monday, April 18, as 'clean-up week' and do hereby call upon every loyal citizen of the community to observe the spirit of the season to the fullest extent. You are expected to completely renovate your home and surroundings, eliminating those things which destroy the beauty of your castle and its surroundings, and you are urged to touch up the dull spots and stamp out every vestige of winter's ravages. Now, therefore, I call upon every citizen of the community to strictly observe 'clean-up week' in every sense of the spirit in which this proclamation is issued. "L. E. MILLER, Acting Mayor," On the other hand, if the county wanted to build a dam, it would be inconvenient and expensive to find a new bridge in the way. All agreed that there was a hard question to answer. Then Supervisor George Jeffrey hit upon a happy plan which it was believed would be practical. "Why not go ahead with your bridge on the former level, but build one that Orange county could raise if the necessity arises?" he suggested to the River-side supervisors. Supervisors S. H. Finley then explained to Jameson and McGregor that a truss frame bridge could be raised, whereas a concrete bridge, as planned at Auburndale could not. He told Jameson and McGregor that Riverside county could probably save some money, moreover, with that kind of a bridge. Orange county has built several of them across the Santa Ana river and they have withstood high water, he said. Jameson and McGregor promised to get engineering estimates on the comparative costs of the two types of bridges. They are willing, they said, to cooperate in saving Orange county some money, especially if they could save their own county some money at the same time. L. S. Lindley, Anaheim lime dealer, was awarded judgment for $600 against Mrs. Ida May Zimmerman, ranch owner, in a decision rendered by Superior Judge Homer G. Ames. Lindley sued for $648, alleging that amount was due him on the purchase price of 103 tons of lime sold to Mrs. Zimmerman. The ranch woman claimed that Lindley had mixed water and rock with the lime to increase its weight. She said 30 tons had thus been added. The court decided that three tons formed a figure nearer the mark, and lopped $48 off of Lindley's claim. If the Chinese go bolshevik, some day all the collars will come home from the laundry dyed red.
