KleinSmid Talks to Men’s Forum Club Noted Speaker Addresses 600 Persons at White Temple Six hundred persons sat down to the tables at social hall, in the White Temple Methodist Episcopal church Monday evening, and listened to a highly interesting address by Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California. This was the first fall meeting of the Men’s Open Forum Club, and it was designated as “Ladies’ Night,” consequently as many ladies as men were present. The dinner was prepared through the courtesy of the Southern California Food Products Company, and was served by Miss Irene Sherwood, demonstrator, of Hollywood. An excellent corps of musicians had been engaged for the entertainment feature. It included Madame Anna Ruzea Sprotte of Los Angeles, internationally famous vocalist; steel guitar numbers by Anton Chris, Los Angeles concert artist; readings by Josephine Hardin, Los Angeles reader, and as the “surprise” number, young Ben Switzler, Fullerton eighth grade pupil, presented a number of xylophone solos. Dr. von KleinSmid is one of the most noted educators and lecturers on the Pacific coast. He spoke on the subject of education. In part, he said: “Opportunities for self-expression for leadership, for placing the mark of one’s self upon some constructive thing done for civilization were never greater in America than they are today. At the same time, however, never have things been in a more chaotic state; hardly ever has leadership been less trustworthy, and never have responsibilities been greater than this present age. Western America, untrammeled with traditions or customs, that are rooted in the past, is taking the lead in solving the problems of the new day. “Solution of these new-day problems is being accomplished through education. There are today 25,000,000 Americans.” Johnny Walls Brings Walnuts Johnny Walls has just completed harvesting the walnut crop on his extensive plantation near the river, and is following his usual custom of presenting his friends with substantial donations of very fine nuts. He has brought to the editorial household a sack full of prime nuts, which are the most delicious we have tasted this season. When Johnny kills a fat porter he presents his friends with choice portions of the meat, and in his native liberality resembles Santa Claus more nearly than any man in Orange county. It’s a fine thing to know him. He has been known to give a friend the hirt off his back, and we believe he would donate his trousers too, including suspenders. He is building a commodious residence on his ranch, and he and his wife will take up their home therein. He lives near the river, east of town, and has a standing invitation to all of his friends, when in the neighborhood, to drop in. Mr. and Mrs. Walls were in town a few days ago, calling upon their friends, making social visits and delivering sacks of walnuts. We shall call upon Johnny and his wife as soon as he kills that fat porter. Call again, John! Brea Post Gets Photo of Fitts Frank Mason, past commander of the Brea American Legion post, has presented to the post a large autographed photograph of Lieutenant-Governor Buron Fitts, the first of a series of such pictures which are to be placed in the hall. While he was state commander of the Legion, Fitts organized the local post. He has always shown considerable interest in local Legion affairs because of the fact that a part of his early life was spent at Brea, where his father was associated with oil companies for several years. It is the intention of the Legionaires of Brea to have a full array of photographs of past commanders and Farm Boys To Prisoners Soil to Alter. Shifting of country and farmers will permitted to a tribulation system. Wing, engineer Bureau Federal witness stands testifying in progress in commission.

And who does not love to see the proud beauties prance and pace on public parade, keeping step to a jazz band? Horse-lovers will get an eye-full on Armistice Day or rather let us say evening, when the Orange County Riding Club will direct their first event, at 7:30 o'clock, at the Fullerton high school stadium. D. Eyman Huff of Orange, general chairman, announces there will be four divisions, and for 25 cents one can revel in horse-fleash beauty for three hours, to the tune of 50-piece band, under the able direction of Carl Echlen from Anaheim, representing the American Legion of Orange county. The show is held under the auspices of Fullerton American Legion Post No. 142, and is just one of the many attractions to make Armistice Day in Fullerton a commemorable classic in Armistice Day celebrations. There will be five-gaited and three-gaited animals, jumpers, and polo ponies. F. M. West, secretary of the riding club, assures the committee of one's self upon some constructive thing done for civilization were never greater in America than they are today. "At the same time, however, never have things been in a more chaotic state; hardly ever has leadership been less trustworthy, and never have responsibilities been greater than this present age." "Western America, untrammeled with traditions or customs, that are rooted in the past, is taking the lead in solving the problems of the new day. "Solution of these new-day problems is being accomplished through education. There are today 25,000,000 Americans, young and old, going to school, or an average of one out of every five persons, who is learning more about the world in which he lives. "In this spreading of education there lies a distinct threat to American civilization unless those being taught are placed in contact with truly Christian leaders, unless they are directed to be constructive in their thinking and unless they are inspired to apply what they learn to the benefit of humanity. "The old-fashioned Christian virtues, which seem to be unpopular in the present age of uncertainty and adjustment, must be reverted to if civilization is to endure," Dr. von KleinSmil said. The speaker declared that such tremendous advances had been made in the realms of science and invention, so many new philosophies and standards had come into existence, during the past quarter of a century that it will take generations for men to accommodate themselves to their radically changed environment. Division Manager Cook Chosen as Honor Man Eastern Division Manager J. O. Cook, Boston, as honor man, heads the list of six exchange sales representatives selected this year for the trip to California and educational tour of the citrus belt. Assistant District Manager O'Loughlin, New York; District Managers Kelough, Providence; Duckworth, Wichita, and Marsicano, Jr., Louisville, and L. G. Neer from the San Francisco office arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 16, and after 10 days in Southern California will inspect the central and northern California citrus and deciduous districts. Mr. Cook was chosen as honor man for his 28 years of outstanding service to the organization and because of the excellent manner in which the eastern division has been handled this season. He cannot leave his duties in the east in time to accompany the other men to California, but plans to follow at a later date. Mr. Cook joined the exchange ranks at Kansas City, in 1895, and heads the sales organization in years of service. After holding the position of district manager at Kansas City, Scranton, Pittsburg, Province and Boston, he became division manager of the northeastern division" in 1912, and of the eastern division in 1925. Nominees' Geography The question of political gains through the geographical location of presidential candidates is once again engaging the attention of the experts. Since its beginning, the Republican party has made eighteen presidential nominations. Fourteen nominees were taken from the Mississippi valley and four from the East. Of the eastern four, two were from New York, and two from New England. Roosevelt from New York and Coolidge from Massachusetts were successful; Blaine and Hughes, the other eastern men, were defeated. Of the fourteen from the Mississippi valley, only two were defeated—Harrison and Taft. Both, however, had energy was ripe for representation of severance or introduction to adding the footholds. Another extended winging of the city by the law damage to ruins operating in the United States these expenses are they may rate charges said the witness money varnishment is so far as concerned me As the press for similar public utilitie it is oblique claeso has a system now state revenue divisions, and for 25 cents one can revel in horse-flesh beauty for three hours, to the tune of 50-piece band, under the able direction of Carl Echlen from Anaheim, representing the American Legion of Orange county. The show is held under the auspices of Fullerton American Legion Post No. 142, and is just one of the many attractions to make Armistice Day in Fullerton a commemorable classic in Armistice Day celebrations. There will be five-gaited and three-gaited animals, jumpers, and polo ponies. F. M. West, secretary of the riding club, assures the committee of the entry in the flat saddle division of some of the finest specimens in the state, having already received notice there will be entries from San Diego, Hollywood, Pasadena and Pomona. There will be one entry in particular of 16 blooded Sheltlands through whose veins flow the purple blood of the royal Sheltlands from the Isles from whence they originated. The poy class is being supervised by L. F. Douglas of Anaheim. Vincent Kroeger has entered his purple-ribboned pony which won in all classes at the Orange County Fair. Herbert Douglas and W. Studeley have entered their ponies, and it might be said here that these are reputed to be the fastest Shetland ponies on foot. The driving or draft horse division, under the able direction of Ed Stinson of Santa Ana, assures the Armistice Day committee of some really classic driving of four and six-florese teams. Ed Galnes, local rancher, and Guy Campbell, contractor, have under preparation two classes of western stock; many horses of state and national reputation will be shown in this division. Lauritto Lugo, who carried off honor after honor at the Orange County Fair and defeated some high class stock in the Western Stock Horse Show, has already entered her string of blue ribbon individuals—every one of them. She will ride one of them herself in the show. If you don't like pretty, prancing, proud, pure-blooded aristocracy in horse flesh—miss the show. If you do—gee, folks, this show will wind up the Armistice Day celebration in Fullerton with a bang and a satisfying satisfaction. It’s our judgment that President Hindenberg enjoyed his eighteenth birthday a lot more than he did his seventieth cue. At least the messages of congratulation came from a much wider territory. Farm Bureau Fights To Prevent Change Opposes San Francisco's Effort to Alter Electrical System Shifting of tax burdens from city to country and higher electric rates for farmers will result if San Francisco is permitted to condemn the electrical distribution systems which serve it. L. S. Wing, engineer of the California Farm Bureau Federation, asserted on the witness stand on October 25, while testifying in the valuation proceedings in progress before the state railroad commission. Engineer Wing was put on the stand by the farmers' organization to offer testimony in support of its contention that the proposed condemnation is a step backward and, if allowed, will be anti-social in its effect. Through its witness, the farm bureau traced the history of the electrical industry from the short experimental lighting lines of 40 years ago to the far-reaching interconnected systems of the present time, showing that the almost universal use of electricity of today was brought about by the consolidation of many classes of business. Consolidation, by making mass production and transmission possible, said the witness, produced a constant and uniform load from many non-uniform demands. As a result, additional loads could be served at prices industry could pay and the cost of energy was reduced to all. The agricultural load, heavy in summer and very light in winter, was cited as an example. This load, said the witness, complements the lighting load of the cities, which is heavy in the winter, or long-night period, and much lighter in summer. This ideal combination, it was pointed out, permits the utilities to use the same equipment to serve both loads with a consequent lower rate for both city lighting and agricultural power. If the cities, said the farm bureau representative, are permitted for political or other reasons to withdraw agreement with the railroad company for relaying its tracks. Giving Manchester boulevard a clear right-of-way through Orange county, the Anderson Syndicate subdividers of Buena Park, declared that it will vacate certain portions of its property in order to allow the construction of the road. It will give a 100-foot right-of-way through its holdings, and also will provide for the extension of Commonwealth avenue as a 100-foot thoroughfare across its 35-acre plot. Its land is being prepared for subdivision and is located near the junction of Commonwealth avenue and Seventh street. The firm of Hamlyn & Young, Anaheim contractors, was the successful bidder for the contract of erecting an addition to the Orange county hospital, at a figure of $12,645. The board of supervisors received bids on the project ranging from the successful figure up to $15,000. The structure is to contain 11 rooms for nurses' quarters and, in addition, a lecture hall capable of seating 70 people, which will be used for training work in the hospital. Health Conditions In County Fine No Epidemic of Contagious Diseases in County That Orange county continues to be a white spot on the health map is indicated by the monthly report of the health department just made public. With the situation thought to be extremely encouraging in regard to contagious disease, even the milder maladies have demonstrated very slight tendencies to appear in noticeable numbers. There are no indications that anything of a serious nature will develop. Only scarlet fever has caused any concern at the health department but, according to Dr. K. H. Sutherland, deputy health officer, the 18 cases re- The Agricultural load, heavy in summer and very light in winter, was cited as an example. This load, said the witness, complements the lighting load of the cities, which is heavy in the winter, or long-night period, and much lighter in summer. This ideal combination, it was pointed out, permits the utilities to use the same equipment to serve both loads with a consequent lower rate for both city lighting and agricultural power. If the cities, said the farm bureau representative, are permitted for political or other reasons to withdraw from that mutually beneficial combination, rates will undoubtedly be raised in the outside territory, to the detriment of both city and country. Tabular exhibits to show the effect of severance on electrical rates were introduced, the farm bureau engineer adding the following explanation: "I base my findings upon this promise: present and future electric department consumers outside of San Francisco have the right to demand that their situation, as regards rates, service and extension policies, will not adversely affect by the severance of the San Francisco electric properties from the now existing electric systems. It is necessary, in order to protect the outside territory and to insure to it an economic future equal to that which it would have enjoyed otherwise, that the severance award be sufficient to amortize the losses caused by severance as those losses occur." As to the amount of such damage to territory outside of San Francisco, the farm bureau engineer said that it would not be less than $60,000,000 and might be as great as $13,000,000 to the consumers of the Great Western Power Company alone. To the consumers of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, he asserted, the damage would be somewhere between $20,000,000 and $33,-900,000. Unless the railroad commission allows severance allowance equal at least in each case to the minimum figure, the witness added, permanent damage to rural California will result. Another effect of severance, contended the witness, would be the shifting of the burden of taxes from the city to the country. Under the existing law, explained the farm bureau representative, a large portion of the revenue for the support of the state government is derived from taxes levied on the gross revenue of public utilities operating in California. A decision of the United States supreme court declares these taxes part of the operating expenses of the utilities, and therefore they must be collected as part of the rates charged for service. Thus, said the witness, ratepayers furnish the money with which the state government is operated, and the utilities, so far as the tax on gross revenue is concerned, merely act as tax collectors. As the present law does not provide for similar taxation of publicly-owned public utilities, Engineer Wing pointed out, it is obvious that after San Francisco has acquired the distributing systems now serving it, that portion of state revenue now collected by them best care have been the big producers, the financial returns compensating the owners handsomely for the money they spent in giving their orchards the very best of care. The 1928 crop will not be as large, but it is anticipated that good prices will prevail. Growers are not losing any sleep over the prospects of a crop failure, and they predict they will more than break even on the 1928 production. Orange county grows very few navels and it is not expected shipping of this fruit will start before January 1. Supervisors Award Number of Contracts Hamlyn & Young Successful Bidders for One Building The awarding of contracts for highway and building work totalling over $80,000 was an outstanding phase of the session of the board of supervisors Tuesday and Wednesday. The work of getting the projects under way is expected to begin at once. The building of the four and a half mile asphalt highway between Placentia and Yorba Linda will begin within a few days, following the announcement that the board of supervisors has awarded the contract to the Griffith company on a bid of $69,817.50. At the present time the work of reconditioning the Newport highway is under way also; part of the job being done by the Griffith company and part by Wells & Bressler, of Santa Ana. In addition, flood protection projects are being carried forward east of Orange and at the Orange County park. The project which will widen the curve at the intersection of Newport road and Malia street and will provide for the lowering of the Southern Pacific tracks at that point to correspond to the road level, will proceed as a part of the highway construction, according to the supervisors, who authorized J. M. Backs, county clerk, to sign an... "I'm Never Sick Anymore, Since Daddy had the HUMPHREY RADIANTFIRE installed in our bedrooms.

It is seldom that secondary cases have occurred except for family contacts. An attempt is being made to institute further campaigns for immunization that if this can be done suction against diphtheria, and it is successfully, even the milder cases which have been encountered in the county can be greatly reduced. The 17 cases reported were in quarantine for a short time only. "Aside from whooping cough, the milder contagious infections have not required much attention," the report states. "In fact at the present time the schools seem markedly free from milder contagion." The advisability of fostering the work of child hygiene is pointed out in the report, but "in the absence of a separate child hygiene department, it is impossible to avoid the infringement of routine duty on a child hygiene program," the document declares.
