G. Presson, health officer of Orange county, who investigated the situation. Dr. Presson stated that although the leak may be held to be a nuisance, the condition of the underground flow probably would result in carrying any pollution to the ocean before it reached the wells. The casings are not perforated until a depth of between 400 and 500 feet is reached, and it is not believed that the polluted water from the sewer could reach that depth. The proposed construction of dikes to prevent the backing up of water in the outfall line with the incoming tide, coupled with the booster pump which is expected to be installed, will take care of the situation, Dr. Presson believes. He is in favor of having the leak mended, however. Committees Now at Work Preparing Program for Entertainment; Elks to Distribute Usual Substantial Presents to Indigent Families; Merchants Report Heavy Holiday Trade Already; Next Week Heavier ANAHEIM kiddies, who have been longingly looking forward to the annual visit of Santa Claus, will not be disappointed this year, as the good old saint has made an appointment to appear at Anaheim's municipal park on the evening of Friday, December 23. Arrangements are being made for his reception by the Kiwanians, the Rotarians and the Lions. Representatives of these clubs held a meeting at the city hall some nights ago, and definitely decided to sponsor a municipal Christmas tree this year. Other clubs are expected to join in the movement, and the citizens generally will undoubtedly contribute liberally, and assist in making this a joyous occasion. The recent meeting was attended by C. C. Lamb of the Lions Club, Melbourne A. Gauer of the Rotary Club, and O. E. Steward, J. W. Price, and A. W. Franzen of the Kiwanis Club. Another meeting was held Friday night, but as a full representation was not present, it was decided to make appointment of committees at a meeting Monday night. These committees will have full charge of the details, and will arrange a program appropriate and entertaining. The Christmas season will be an enjoyable one this year. All the churches will give appropriate entertainments, but the dates are not all fixed for the same night. The Elks Club, which collects a fund during the entire year for charitable work at the Christmas season, is well supplied with money for this purpose, and will use it where it will do the most good. The movie theatre entertainment with which they entertained the children on former occasions, will not be given, the entire fund being devoted to the purchase of substantial supplies for indigent families. A list of all who are in need or to whom contributions will be acceptable, has been secured by a painstaking canvass, and none of them will be overlooked. All the stores in Anaheim are congested with holiday goods of all kinds, and the merchants report an excellent trade this week, although the last week before Christmas is always the best. Southern California has had a prosperous season, and an unusually heavy trade is expected in consequence. The postoffice and the express office are already burdened with packages destined for friends in the East, but both are expected to be swamped next week. Parents Must Sign Release Agreement Riley Addresses Children's Relief Association Directors Meeting at the Anaheim Elks' clubhouse Friday, directors of the Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange County definitely decided to require parents to sign an agreement releasing the association from liability should injury follow treatments given crippled children in an effort to correct deformities. H. D. Riley, president of the association, pointed out at the meeting that the organization had not been taking advantage of a law making it possible to secure such a release from the parents of children coming under observation and treatment of the organization. The president gave emphasis to the fact that the association's activities in behalf of deformed children in the county is strictly voluntary and entirely in the interest of such children, and for that reason it should protect itself against possible suits by parents who may feel that their child has been injured rather than benefitted by operations deemed necessary to correct a deformity. Miss Bertha Strange, of San Francisco, executive secretary of the California Society for Crippled Children, was present, and discussed various phases of the recent law passed by the state legislature providing for conduct of the state and county societies and associations. The secretary gave out the information that there are 46 orthopedic doctors in the state, 21 of whom are located in the Southland. President Riley reported that progress is being made in the school census being made in the county, and that results so far had shown that there are a large number of pupils in the county schools who are defective mentally but who are not "body cripples." When the survey is completed, data will be available as to the number of children who are crippled, blind and deficient in mentality.

League to Broadcast Warnings of Frost Warning of temperatures low enough to be of danger to citrus fruits will be given this season by the Tustin Frost Protection League for Tustin and vicinity, according to Ross Shafer, manager. The electric siren used by the Tustin fire department will be used for this purpose. The fire alarm is one long blast of varying pitch and intensity. The frost alarm will be a series of short blasts of varying pitch, with intervals of one minute of silence. At 7:45 p.m., when the forecast is received from the fruit frost survey observer, the frost alarm will be sounded if the prediction is for 27 degrees or lower. The alarm will be repeated again when the orchard temperatures in any observed part of the district drop to the "lighting point," which is determined by the actual observation in the orchard, consideration being given to fruit and air temperatures, time of night, atmospheric conditions, watermark, etc. The alarm system was established as the result of a suggestion that much annoyance and discomfort could be avoided if householders in heated areas were warned of impending smoke in time to close outside openings or cover goods that might be soiled by soot. The Tustin Frost Protection League is responsible for the sounding of the frost alarm and will welcome any suggestion that will make the alarm more effective, either for householders or citrus growers. There is one thing to be said in favor of the Eighteenth amendment. Everybody knows it is there. NAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, December 15, 1927 CHRISTMAS TREE PLANNE ZONE ORDINANCE PASSES FIRST READING FEW CHANGES MADE IN ORIGINAL DRAFT OF THE DOCUMENT Five Points to Be Classified as Industrial District; Palm St., Between Oak St. and Alley North of Center, Is in Business Section; Victor G. Loly's Houses, Broadway and Palm, Acquired by City, to Be Sold THE zoning ordinance, which has been under discussion by the city planning commission and the city council for some months, was introduced at the Firm Defunct Since 1889 Is Revived Again P. STANTON, of Seal Beach, has set the pins up in the superior court. Now he is trying to knock them down. This expresses the situation in his attempt to clear up a title to tidelands once controlled by the Anaheim Lighter Company, an organization which became defunct in 1889. Now the concern which has been inactive and has had no directors since that time, has a board of five trustees, created at Stanton's request by Superior Judge James L. Allen. But they were appointed, supposedly, only in order that they might represent the interests of the stockholders while Stanton tries to quiet their title to lands which he has controlled for years. As a matter of fact, Stanton claims to control 90 per cent of the stock himself. He is thus in the position of being both the plaintiff and the defendant in the suit, but the technical claim represented by the stock, including the other 10 per cent, must be taken into consideration. It is said. LADIES RADIANT AT KIWANIS NIGHT ADD CHARM TO GATHERING; MEMBERS THRUST IN HAPPY SKITS Elaborate Turkey Dinner Precedes Oratorical Festivities; Many Hits Upon Program; Billy Wallop Shines as Presiding Officer of Distinguished Gathering; "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" in Burlesque ATTRACTING a distinguished company of ladies and gentlemen at Elks hall, on Tuesday, evening, the sixth annual Ladies' Night given by Kiwanis resulted Five Points to Be Classified as Industrial District; Palm St., Between Oak St. and Alley North of Center, Is in Business Section; Victor G. Loly's Houses, Broadway and Palm, Acquired by City, to Be Sold THE zoning ordinance, which has been under discussion by the city planning commission and the city council for some months, was introduced at the regular meeting of the council Thursday night, and received the unanimous sanction of the members. All the protests and appeals for changes in it, which were heard at the open session held recently were given due consideration, but few changes were made in the original draft. Some few modifications were made in response to the arguments presented, but they were of little importance. The ordinance as introduced Thursday night will be passed at the next meeting of the board, and will soon become a law. Some of the petitions were granted, but other denied. Five Points, where it appears the neighbors did not agree, as one petition filed demanded a business district and the other favored restrictions to residences, was classified as an industrial section. Already a business center has grown up there, and framers of the ordinance were not disposed to curb its activities in that line. Palm street, at the intersection of Center, was declared a business district from Oak street to the alley north of St. Boniface's church. North Los Angeles street, as far north as Sycamore, was zoned for business, but from Sycamore to North Street it is declared a residential district. From North街 to the city limits it is placed in the industrial zone. The city has acquired the two duplex houses owned by Victor D. Loly on South Palm street, by reason of the recent order to widen that street by slicing 10 feet off the west side of the property frontage, and incorporating it into the street. Lolly's houses, after the cut was made, would extend several feet into the street. City Clerk Merritt was instructed to advertise for bids for sale of the houses, and the bids will be opened on January 12. The money derived from the sale will be added to the street fund. Shipkey & Pearson were awarded the contract for furnishing 2500 barrels of road oil for use on the streets during the coming year. The price was $2.65 per barrel for 90 per cent as phaltil oil, and $2.55 for 80 per cent oil. An insurance policy covering state compensation for all city employees was approved. William Lake, deputy city controller, reported $11,636.20 collected from the sale of light; $4,570.35 for water, and $2,999.30 for power. Expense of operating the public library for the month of November was $1,415.44, according to the report of Miss Elizabeth Calton librarian. Husband and Wife Each Given Divorce Wife Not Satisfied With Decree, Obtains Her Own Some people have been worrying for a long time about the so-called divorce evil. But it's getting worse. For one decree to a family no longer seems to be enough today, and both husband and wife will have to have one in order to keep up with the crowd, if every estranged couple follows the example of Mrs. Orlle Tremaine of Anaheim. Her former husband, Ellery G. Tremaine, garage mechanic, already claimed to have been granted one last year in Reno. That fact, however, did not deter Mrs. Tremaine from going before Superior Judge James L. Allen and asking for a divorce for herself. She got it, too. Whether she didn't feel safe with only one between them, or whether she wanted to show her husband she could keep any pace he might set, was not divulged in the courtroom. The latter reason is believed to have some weight behind it, though. For Mrs. Tremaine declared that her spouse repeatedly asked her why she didn't have some class like other women. Now she has thum all beat, for it is believed that Mrs. Tremaine set a record when she brought two divorces into one family. The legal quirk whereby this twin set of decrees was made possible lay in the fact that her husband's decree was not mentioned in the pleadings of the case, and therefore did not legally come to the court's attention. Champion Grower To Get Gold Medal National Orange Show to Stage Interesting Contest The world's champion orange grower will be decided at the Eighteenth National Orange Show, to be held in San Elizabethtown. Elaborate Turkey Dinner Precedes Oratorical Festivities; Many Hits Upon Program; Billy Wallop Shines as Presiding Officer of Distinguished Gathering; "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" in Burlesque ATTRACTING a distinguished company of ladies and gentlemen at Elks hall, on Tuesday evening, the sixth annual Ladies' Night given by Kiwanis resulted in one of the most enjoyable society affairs ever presented in this city. About two hundred people responded to invitations, and early in the evening sat down to an elaborate turkey dinner, followed by a program of vocal and musical selections which kept the concourse in good spirits until a late hour. During the evening many witty sailors were made against members of the club, bringing out bursts of applause and laughter and making the program one to linger long in the memory. The program committee, of which Billy Wallop was leader, had spared neither time nor trouble to prepare the entertaining program. The guests were sated, and each table was required to put on an amusing stunt. Two prizes were offered and after an exciting contest, the first prize, a five-pound box of candy, was awarded to O.E. Steward for the best stunt and the consolation to Roscoe Young. Toastmaster Wallop upon the retiring president, A. Curtis Case, to make a few remarks. Mr. Case responded by reviewing the work of the past year, complimenting the board of directors. He spoke of the great pleasure he had experienced as president of the club, and closed by asking Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood to address the gathering. Dr. Haywood, in a charming address, explained what Kiwanis means and spoke of the close brotherly relations sustained by the members. Dr. Haywood, in a few well chosen words, presented to Mr. Case, on behalf of his fellow Kiwanians,a beautiful gold watch. Mr. Case thanked the club members for the handsome remembrance. The toastmaster then asked Arthur Porter, the new president, to make a few remarks. Mr. Porter spoke briefly of the aims and purposes of Kiwanis, after which the tables were moved back, the chairs arranged,and the stage cleared for the program presented by members of the club. Roscoe Young and Frank Gibbs were discovered conducting a radio broadcasting station, KL U., and the program they put on was highly entertaining. The first scene occurred in a cemetery. John Newhard, disguised as a decrepit old man, is seen conversing with Arthur Porter and giving some intimate details of the untimely taking off of the occupants of the eight graves who are members of the late famous double quartet which distinguished itself at the Kiwanis convention in Denver. The old man falls asleep and dreams that Reginald Taylor, Eugene Durfee W.H.Lewis E.Cundrum Champion Grower To Get Gold Medal National Orange Show to Stage Interesting Contest The world's champion orange grower will be decided at the Eighteenth National Orange Show, to be held in San Bernardino, in February. For the first time in history such recognition is to be accorded the citrus fruit grower whose oranges are adjudged the best by a committee of expert fruit men. "Is there a citrus fruit grower in your district who seeks the high honor of being known as the world's champion orange grower?" asks General Manager R. H. Mack, in a communication to Chamber of Commerce secretaries and citrus fruit organizations all over the state. In this manner, it is being brought to the attention of the individual growers, for the contest is for the growers exclusively. And the competition is bound to be keen. The honor of winning such recognition as being world's champion is even more to be sought after when it is announced that the winner will be awarded a beautiful diamond medal of gold, suitably engraved with the information that the proud possessor is the grower of the finest oranges produced in the season of 1927-28. But one box of oranges may be exhibited by each contesting grower. And it is very likely that there will be oranges eaten in the White House by President and Mrs. Coolidge—and of course they will be the championship oranges. The National Orange Show usual orange sweepstakes and other classes will continue for the many thousands of dollars in prizes and cups annually awarded. The new contest for the individual growers already is attracting wide attention. Is there some one in this district interested?

The old man falls asleep and dreams that Reginald Taylor, Eugene Durfee, W. H. Lewis, E. C. Rundstrum, Warren Ashleigh, L. P. Bonnat, Glen Merrill, and A. B. McCord arise and sing. After several beautiful songs, they again retire to their graves, and the old man awakens from his sleep. "The Gold Dust Twins," two little colored boys, gave a song and dance. Reginald Taylor sang "I Must Down to the Sea Again." Ernest Zitzann, who came down from Los Angeles for the occasion, gave a delightful violin solo. Miss Katherine Steward very gracefully accompanied on the piano throughout the evening. Glen Stillwell's orchestra, otherwise "Fritz Yungbluth's jazz hounds," gave several selections on the program and also played for the dance that followed. A telegram from D. Jessurun and family, who are at Banning on a account of illness, was read. Mr. Jessurun expressed good wishes for a happy evening. One of the most beautiful numbers on the program was the song, "The Heart Bowed Down," from "The Bohemian Girl," by the double quartet, led by Reginald Taylor. This number was dedicated to the absent members who were prevented by illness from being present. A number of amusing letters and telegrams were read by the radio announcers, Roscoe Young and Frank Gibbs, also several bits of old-time news of twenty-five and fifty years ago from The Gazette's old-time column concerning prominent members of Kiwanis caused gales of laughter to sweep over the audience.

ANAHEIM—YOUR CITY Founded by German Colonists, 1857 Assessed Value, 1925, $10,500,000 School System Valued at $951,000 Number 10 ANNED FOR PARK Anaheim Boy Scouts Will Repair Toys ANAHEIM Boy Scouts, members of troops No. 71 and 72, and all the Girl Scouts of the city have joined in sponsoring a drive for old toys, which they plan to recondition and send as Christmas gifts to the less fortunate children of the city. Through the co-operation of Superintendent of Schools Melbourne A. Gauer, the drive is being conducted through the grammar schools and already some 200 used playthings have been received, it is reported. The two Boy Scout troops, the Masons' troop No. 71, under John McKim, scoutmaster, and Legion troop No. 72, under Kenneth Peck, scoutmaster, have set to work repairing such toys as are damaged and broken, and the Girl Scouts plan to recondition and dress the dolls received. The toys will be distributed at Christmas time by the Elks and Masonic lodges. Troop No. 74, under Louis Hoskins, scoutmaster, which started some ANAHEIM MAN IS TRAILED BY OFFIGERS HARVEY C.

The Gazette has been advised by Frank G. Snook, chief of the division, that mail applications will be accepted at any time, and counter deliveries will begin today. Snook advises that it is far less trouble to mail applications than to take the time to go to Sacramento or a branch office and stand in line for plates. The procedure is simple. Take your certificate of registration out of your car, make changes of address, if any, on it and put it in an envelope with your fee and send it to Sacramento. Use checks, money orders or bank drafts in making application. Do not use currency. The fee for an ordinary passenger car is $3. Trucks and other commercial vehicles take the same fee as last year, with the exception of vehicles equipped with cushion tires. Under the new law these vehicles take the same fee as solid-tired vehicles. Delinquent Tax List Printed This Week Miss Helen Cramer, the popular and efficient accountant at the city hall, has compiled some figures relative to the tax collections and delinquencies shown at the close of the books last Monday. Her figures show that the total amount of taxes and special assessments collectable was $146,195.01. Of this amount, $143,277.70 was collected, leaving a delinquency of $2917.31. The number of descriptions in the delinquent tax list, which is found on another page of this paper, is 162, whereas last year the delinquents numbered 107, and the amount of delinquency is reported. The two Boy Scout troops, the Masons' troop No. 71, under John McKim, scoutmaster, and Legion troop No. 72, under Kenneth Peck, scoutmaster, have set to work repairing such toys as are damaged and broken, and the Girl Scouts plan to recondition and dress the dolls received. The toys will be distributed at Christmas time by the Elks and Masonic lodges. Troop No. 74, under Louis Hoskine, Scoutmaster, which started some weeks ago the task of constructing new wooden toys for the crippled children in the Orange County hospital, has completed this task. HARVEY C. MAPES of this city, county manager for the J. W. Schwab Company of Long Beach, distributors of Willys-Knight and Overland automobiles, is being sought by officers on the charge that he has misappropriated money belonging to the firm. Mapes left recently on a vacation, but as he failed to return, an investigation was made, and it is charged that he is short in his accounting with his employers. A warrant has been issued for his arrest on the charge that he altered a check. According to the stub, this check had been written for $15, but it had grown to $150 when presented to the bank and cashed. A search is being made by officers throughout California and neighboring states, but no trace of him has yet been discovered. There is a possibility that he may return and straighten out the tangle, but sheriff's officers are not anticipating anything of the kind, and are making a thorough search for him. Mapes was prominent in business circles here, also socially, and his associates are loath to believe that he is an embezzler. About two weeks ago, Mapes left on an ostensible hunting trip, but he failed to return at the designated time, and no word was received from him. In the meantime, the house for which he was working alleges to have discovered irregularities in his books and, with the raised check in evidence, swore to a warrant for his apprehension. It is charged that the amount of money embezzled will total up between $20,000 and $25,000, but not all of it, the charges state, belonged to the agency for which he was working. Mapes has always born a good reputation here, and his friends still hope that he will be able to square himself. Classy Baseball Assured the Fans Famous Teams to Play at Fair Grounds in Few Weeks Baseball enthusiasts of Orange county are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Portland Coast League team, which will spend a five weeks' period of spring training at the Orange county fair grounds.

"I Must Down Ernest Zitzmann, Los Angeles for delightful violin good-natured jokes, and the two lone, unmarried members received several thrusts in regard to their unhappy condition. The most elaborate number on the program was the pantomime, a burlesque, on "The Shooting of Dan McGrew." Professor Clayes read the poem, and it was enacted as he read. Henry Adams took the part of the barkeeper so realistically that the specators were convinced that he has missed his calling. In the title role, Charlie Mann, as the dangerous Dan McGrew was enough to frighten one out of a year's growth. Harry Horn as the stranger, and Billy Wallop as a tough old miner were fine. The lady known as Lou was represented as a beautiful brunette by E. J. Wiseman, Bob Fowler was the frail and lovely blond lady. After the thrilling moment when the shots rang through the hall and the lights went out simultaneously, the scene was very affecting. Charlie Mann was seen to be hors de combat, and Harry Horn was being tenderly cared for by the lady known as Lou. At the close of the program, a social dance was enjoyed by the young folks. The evening was a delightful one, filled with innocent fun and good-natured jokes, all bespeaking the strong feeling of good fellowship manifested by the members of this popular service club. Famous Teams to Play at Fair Grounds in Few Weeks Baseball enthusiasts of Orange county are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Portland Coast League team, which will spend a five weeks' period of spring training at the Orange county fair grounds. Less than six weeks of the anxious period remains before the ground-keeper of the Portland Beavers and the advance guard will make their home in Orange county and prepare arrangements for the training season. Ernie Johnson, manager of the Portland team, stated today that the schedule for the games to be played at the fair grounds this spring will be out after the first of the year. It is understood that this schedule will be completed by the managers of the Coast league teams training in this particular section of California and the two national league teams, the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates, about January 1. Johnston further stated that the guaranteed 10 games would be played and possibly more. Last season the Portland team played 15 games during their training period. Many inquiries have been made as to the possibility of several Orange county boys being given a try-out and, while Johnson did not make any promises along this particular line, it is understood that he has this, very thing in mind, such players as Walter Johnson and George Blaeholder spent their sand-lot days on the Orange county diamonds, and it is thought that there might be many finds among the youngsters now playing semi-pro ball here. The books of 10 admissions being sold by the Orange county baseball committee are being taken up by the fans in a very fine manner, according to J. R. Hunt, who is directing the sales to insure the $5000 guarantee, there seems to be little possibility of this amount not being procured by the first of the year. Several communities have already reported being "over the pop" with their sales.
