A. C. OF C. DISCUSS JUNIOR COLLEGE H. H. Hale Speaks Vigorously in Favor of County Institution Charging that friends of the Fullerton junior college had built up a smoothly operating political machine, which had been effective in blocking plans for an Orange county junior college district, H. H. Hale of Placentia threw a verbal bombshell into the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county at Garden Grove Thursday night, which resulted in the relieving from duty of the special educational committee of the associated body and the impending appointment of a new group by J. P. Greeley, president. Hale charged that without the number of pupils who are attending Fullerton junior college from outside districts, it would not have a sufficient attendance to warrant maintenance. He also declared that Fullerton junior college was attempting to extend its limits to include other grammar school districts in Northern Orange county and that if action was not taken at once toward the formation of an Orange county junior college district, it would become impossible to establish such a project. Hale declared that he wished to see the junior college removed from the grounds of the high school because the space was needed by the latter institution. He declared that junior college pupils lack the spirit that characterizes students of individual colleges and that this could be obtained only by establishment of institutions separate from high schools. H. A. Lake of Garden Grove spoke briefly in reply to Mr. Hale's charges, declaring that the "six-four-four plan," which is being urged by educators through the educational committee, was a strictly modern and effective plan of education and that opposition appeared to be largely from a restricted district and not from the county in general. Ralph McFadden, also of Placentia, commented further on the line of Hale's talk, declaring that Fullerton junior college cure a federal appropriation to aid the county and state horticulture departments in their fight on the pepper weevil, which threatens the chill pepper industry in Orange county and elsewhere. J. A. Smiley, chairman of the good roads committee, reported an observation during a recent trip to the East, in which he declared that California, and particularly the southern portion, was far behind the East in sign posting highways. Reports of the increasing interest in the Orange county scenic tour, which visits this district three times a week, was given by Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, county publicity director. The next meeting of the Associated Chambers will be held at Laguna Beach, December 1, combining the November and December meetings of the organization. Peak Reached on Persimmon Crop Shipping of persimmons is now at the peak of the season, it was declared by J. M. Alcorn, president of the recently formed Orange County Persimmon Growers' Association. A large crew of packers is at work in the Fullerton packing house and shipments have been going out steadily. From the Tustin packing house of the association cars have been sent to Seattle, Chicago, and New York. Prices have been good, being several cents above what had been expected, especially in the Los Angeles market, which the Fullerton district has been supplying. There has been a special demand for the association pack, Alcorn declared, and now that the Los Angeles market is well supplied, a carload from the house will be shipped to New York. Alcorn warned growers to watch their fruit carefully and to pick as soon as it was colored. Delay in picking results in softening of fruit and serious reduction in its value and sales quality. Alcorn declared. Three or four pickings are required to get the fruit to market in the most effective manner, he said.

A. Lake of Garden Grove spoke briefly in reply to Mr. Hale's charges, declaring that the "six-four-four plan," which is being urged by educators through the educational committee, was a strictly modern and effective plan of education and that opposition appeared to be largely from a restricted district and not from the county in general. Ralph McFadden, also of Placentia, commented further on the line of Hale's talk, declaring that Fullerton junior college was working while other parts of the county interested in the junior college question were sleeping. Tom Pickerill, secretary of the Placentia Chamber of Commerce, offered a resolution relieving the committee, which had been appointed a year ago to make an investigation of laws governing the junior college situation and report back to the Associated Chambers. In commenting on the resolution, Pickerill recalled that one year ago, Mrs. S. W. Stanley of Tustin, then president of the Santa Ana Ebell Club, had presented at the meeting of the Associated Chambers in Tustin in October, 1926, a strong plea for the organization of a county junior college district. That time the committee, which he sought to relieve by his resolution, had been appointed, Pickerell declared, and pointed out that eleven monthly meetings had passed without a report or a session of the group. J. A. Prizer of Fullerton, who was a member of the committee, said that efforts had been made to get the committee together, but that something had always interfered. Prizer stressed the point that laws governing the formation of junior college districts, which were passed at the last session of the legislature, have only recently become available to members of the committee and that it has been impossible to complete an adequate and effective study of them. J. P. Greeley, presiding at the meeting, called attention to the fact that some universities are discontinuing the first two years of college courses and that as a result it is becoming more important to provide this training in the public schools. Pickerill's resolution was adopted and the president was authorized to name a special committee to investigate state laws in regard to the junior college situation and report back as soon as possible, at which time it is planned to devote an entire session to discussion of the problem. Injection of the discussion on the junior college problem overshadowed the main topic of the evening, which was water conservation and flood control, with Paul Bailey, special engineer for Orange county in charge of this work, as the principal speaker. Bailey declared that the lowering of the water level in Orange county's underground basin over a period of years did not indicate that the supply was being exhausted, but showed mainly that the water was being pumped from the students of individual colleges and that this could be obtained only by establishment of institutions separate from high schools. Alcorn warned growers to watch their fruit carefully and to pick as soon as it was colored. Delay in picking results in softening of fruit and serious reduction in its value and sales quality. Alcorn declared. Three or four pickings are required to get the fruit to market in the most effective manner, he said. Thinks Flying Auto Is Not Far Distant The flying automobile is coming—much sooner than the average individual thinks—in the opinion of Frederick C. Russell, who discusses the combined land and air machine in an article, "Up She Goes!" in the November issue of Touring Topics. Every day automobiles are traveling faster and yet there is a limit to the speed a vehicle can travel on terra firma. "What else is there left to do," Mr. Russell asks, "but to turn theenders into elevators and go up inthe air?" He then proceeds to discuss what automotive engineers are learning of wind resistance and balance and the probability of the motor car being converted into a flying car at the fancy of the operator. Statement Condensed From ANAHEIM NATION At Close Of RESOURCES Loans $431,538 Overdrafts 307 U.S. Bonds 51-215 Injection of the discussion on the junior college problem overshadowed the main topic of the evening, which was water conservation and flood control, with Paul Bailey, special engineer for Orange county in charge of this work, as the principal speaker. Bailey declared that the lowering of the water level in Orange county's underground basin over a period of years did not indicate that the supply was being exhausted, but showed mainly that the water was being pumped from the basin faster than it could percolate downward from the upper water bearing strata. Duties of his office were outlined by Bailey, who declared that it was his work to make surveys and observations recording the activity and possibilities of all streams in Orange county. Streams in northern Orange county, especially the stream which rises in the Yorba Linda district flowing through the barranca in Fullerton, will be surveyed and checked over. These are active only in high flood seasons, Bailey declared, and control measures for these and other similar streams will be studied and recommended. Santiago Creek, Allso creek, San Juan creek and Trabuco creek were also discussed by the engineer, who declared that while they were not as dangerous from a flood control viewpoint, waste water of inestimable value could be conserved. Discussion of the plan advanced by J. L. Skutt, Pasadena park superintendent, for a state park under the recent legislative procedure, to be located on the shoreline between Corona Del Mar and Serra, in Orange county, revealed that such a project would withdraw much valuable property from taxation within the county. Ralph McFadden opposed the project on the grounds of the loss in taxes and declared that the plan was not feasible because of the value of property which would be included within it free from taxation. It was indicated that the project will not be received favorably in Orange county. J. A. Knapp of Garden Grove asked aid of the Associated Chambers to se- Drivers Must Have Operator's License Persons Driving Car Without Card Will Be Stopped An immediate check of the files of the division of motor vehicles to secure the names of motorists who are driving without an operator's card was ordered by Chief Frank G. Snook. This followed the discovery by the department that approximately 25 per cent of the drivers in the state are violating the law by driving without a license. Clerks in charge of the files estimated that 400,000 persons are without a license in the state. Simultaneous with the order, Snook announced that a campaign would be launched to compel such drivers to obey the law. The division has an easy means of checking the list of violators since the file of names of persons to whom cards have been issued may be compared with the files showing registered owners. Both are kept in numerical order. The new motor vehicle act requires that every applicant for a license, upon first applying, must submit to an examination as to his physical and mental fitness to drive. Snook said no person who has hitherto driven without a license would be prosecuted, provided he shows a disposition to comply with the law by applying for his card at once. "Persons who are without an operator's license should lose no time in getting one," Snook said. "No person who can exercise reasonable control over an automobile or who has no serious physical defects has anything to fear from the examination. The examiners are instructed to extend every courtesy to applicants and to make due allowances for stage fright and nervousness." To drive without an operator's card is to violate the law and lays the driver open to embarrassment and possible arrest. Our officers now have orders to ask every motorist for his license when stopping him for any reason. Lack of a license may mean that your trip will their stirrups and galloping along, shouting to one another like polo players." The truth is that the Rough Riders marched and fought on foot in Cuba, as did other cavalry regiments, their horses having been left behind when they sailed from the United States. Due to Roosevelt's vivid personality and the large amount of publicity given the regiment by New York newspaper men, the Rough Riders received the Lion's share of credit for the victory at Santiago, a share rather greater than was their just due. That they were brave men and good fighters none will deny, but they were in that respect no different from other troops, some of whom received scant attention in the dispatches. The Rough Riders did no riding, rough or otherwise, in Cuba. Shell Company Pays Big Money for Lease Eighty acres west of Talbert have been leased to the Shell Oil Company by members of the Courreges family, the final papers on the deal being signed Monday. The terms of the lease provide a bonus of $100 per acre, with $10 rental per acre for the first three months and $20 per month per acre after the three months. The acreage signed is owned by the following members of the Courreges family: Joe Courreges, 30 acres; John Courreges, 10 acres; Mrs. Henry Lacabanne, 20 acres; Mrs. Peter Lacabanne, 10 acres; Mrs. Henry Landin, 10 acres. The tract under lease is in wildcat territory, but geologists employed by the Shell company are understood to have turned in favorable reports on the land. It is understood that the Shell will start a test well on the property within the next three months.
