C. of C. Bulletin Reviews Past Year Brief Sketch of Things Accomplished and Things to Come Reviewing the work accomplished by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce during the past year, and the improvements advocated by and assisted by it, the last number of "Community Contacts," which is periodically issued by George W. Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, is full of interesting matter. Following are some extracts from it: The opening of Lemon street is at last a reality. The resolution of intention has been printed in an Anaheim paper and it is only a question of a few months when Lemon street will be connected with Harvard avenue in Fullerton. This will give us another highway, connecting the two cities, which should, in a measure, relieve the congestion of the state highway, or Spadra road. A committee presented petitions to the board of supervisors for the purpose of widening and paving Spadra road, between the city limits of Fullerton and Anaheim. The majority of the property owners, in the proposed road district have signed this petition. Engineer Neff was requested to prepare the resolution of intention. If this should go through, it too will be completed by the time of the Orange Show; then the state highway between here and Fullerton will be paved 56 feet in width. Engineer Cortelyou of the state highway commission has said that no other road in Southern California needed widening as this section does. The city council, Chamber of Commerce, Lions, Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs have each passed a resolution asking the Santa Fe officials to erect a new depot on the site where the old depot now stands. The present one is a relic of bygone days. It is the only outstanding antique that calls to mind the days when Anaheim had a population of 1000. The handsome dividends that are being received by the Santa Fe road from the shipments of citrus fruit certainly should influence this com- Anaheim and Pico. The Motor Transit Company objected to a franchise being given to the Union Pacific, on the ground that it was simply to establish a competitive bus line between Anaheim and Pico. They further stated that they were already taking care of the traffic with regular buses, and could easily transport the passengers of the Union Pacific between here and Pico. The case consumed the entire day, and is now in the hands of the railway commission. The deed to the 40-acre industrial tract purchased by the citizens of this community in 1822, for the sum of $66,300, is now in the hands of the directors, subject to a mortgage of $2000 on the south 20 acres of the tract. This transaction has just been completed. Six thousand dollars was borrowed by the directors a few weeks ago, and the mortgage on the south half of the property was given. Since then, $3000 has been paid on the mortgage. There are still some notes and pledges that are unpaid. These, however, will be taken care of in the very near future. More than enough money was subscribed to take care of the purchase of this property, but several parties refused to meet their obligations. Recently one acre of land was sold to Steele Finley of Santa Ana, who erected an asphalt plant. Within the past month there have been more inquiries concerning the location of industrial plants in Anaheim than there have been for the past eight or nine months. It is reported that industrial plants in the east are looking more favorably toward the establishment of branches on the Pacific coast, and especially within the Los Angeles metropolitan industrial region. Every effort is being made by the Community Industrial Land Company and the Chamber of Commerce to have industrialists consider favorably Anaheim's industrial tract. Fiskers Convicted of Using Illegal Nets Eugene D. Bennett, newly appointed executive officer and attorney for the fish and game division of the Department of Natural Resources, believes in work as a stimulant to his force. Just keep his hand in. Bennett in his capacity as attorney for the division... The city council, Chamber of Commerce, Lions, Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs have each passed a resolution asking the Santa Fe officials to erect a new depot on the site where the old depot now stands. The present one is a relic of bygone days. It is the only outstanding antique that calls to mind the days when Anaheim had a population of 1000. The handsome dividends that are being received by the Santa Fe road from the shipments of citrus fruit certainly should influence this company to erect a depot that will be commensurate with the progress of our city. The community is getting exceedingly anxious to hear something from the Santa Fe railway officials. The Santa Fe railway will run a special train from Santa Ana to Pasadena on the morning of January 2. This train leaves Anaheim at 8:15 a.m., arriving at Pasadena at 10:20 a.m. The special will leave Pasadena at 1:50 p.m. Those who attend the football game may leave on the regular train at 5:20 p.m. At a meeting of the communities of Southern California, called by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, it was explained that the United States Chamber of Commerce presented this metropolitan area as follows: Beginning at Santa Monica, running north, almost to the Newhall tunnel; thence on a line nearly due east, to San Bernardino; thence east to Redlands; thence in a southeasterly direction, taking in Riverside and Corona; thence into Orange county, passing through Santa Ana, and including Newport, following the coast line in a northwesterly direction to the point of beginning—Santa Monica—containing 2015 square miles. The different communities were assured that this was not a movement for political units, but rather to establish a recognized metropolitan industrial area. This will give some advantage to those communities, included in this proposed region. The Highway Bulb Gardens, located on the state highway, south of the city, has had a most successful year. C. R. Hannah, proprietor of these gardens, shipped the first carload of bulbs this fall. Mr. Hannah has thoroughly demonstrated that the soil of Orange county is well adapted to bulbs. He is deeply interested in having as many as possible go into this industry. There is a great shortage of bulbs in this country, and it will be a number of years before this shortage can be supplied. Mr. Hannah has made quite an addition in the way of a new office building to his own gardens, and is expanding rapidly. He is very anxious to explain his plans for development and expansion to those who are interested in the growth of bulbs. In his estimation, Orange county can be made the center of a great bulb industry, carrying with it large profits. The committee having in charge the building of the levee, consisting of John Cook, chairman, and Messrs. F. A. Yungbluth, C. M. Hollingshead, W. B. Allen, Charles E. Jones, Harry Dierker, George Weatherly, and Engineer E. P. Fiskers Convicted of Using Illegal Nets Eugene D. Bennett, newly appointed executive officer and attorney for the fish and game division of the Department of Natural Resources, believes in work as a stimulant to his force. Just to keep his hand in, Bennett in his capacity as attorney for the division has just tried and won his first case since taking over his office. In winning the case the new fish and game head figured in the condemning of the biggest gill net ever captured in California, when this illegal fishing gear was declared contraband in the court of Superior Judge W. D. O'Donnell at Fairfield, in Solano county. The two nets involved in the case were taken from Andrew Nichols and Pete Chapalas by Deputies William Armstrong and Charles England, and totaled 1665 fathoms in length. This represents 9990 feet or almost two miles of net. The two fishermen were arrested on November 15, while using the nets in the upper reaches of San Pablo bay, near Mare Island, which is in fish and game district No. 2. As the nets can only be used for what is termed "blocking off," they must be used illegally and the fish and game division insists that such equipment be condemned. Bennett was opposed in the trial of the case of Lindauer and Horan, attorneys of Vallejo, who put up a stiff fight to save the nets for their clients. The new fish and game executive had little difficulty in convincing Judge O'Donnell that the nets were illegal and should be destroyed. Splendid Program Billed for United An excellent series of pictures will be presented at the United Theatre to balance of this week and next week. Tomorrow and Saturday, "Biff, Ban-Buddy" and "Flying Fool" will be shown. On January 1, 2, and 3, "Rose of the Bowery" and "Speed Limit" will be presented, and January 4 and 5, Alexander Carr is shown in "April Fool." For January 6 and 7, the manager has secured The Dixie Jubilee Quartet for stage performance, and on the screen "Power of the Weak." There is always something about the music of colored singers and players which touches a responsive chord in the heart of every listened. They sing the old folk songs of the South in their own imitative way. There is nothing so full of genuine sweetness, so full of melody, as these old negro songs, and it takes the real negro to sing them as they should be sung. The program of The Dixie Jubilee Quartet includes a goodly number of these plantation melodies for which their voices are so peculiarly adapted. However, while Mr. Hannah has made quite an addition in the way of a new office building to his own gardens, and is expanding rapidly. He is very anxious to explain his plans for development and expansion to those who are interested in the growth of bulbs. In his estimation, Orange county can be made the center of a great bulb industry, carrying with it large profits. The committee having in charge the building of the levee, consisting of John Cook, chairman, and Messra. F. A. Yungbluth, C. M. Hollingshead, W. B. Allen, Charles E. Jones, Harry Dlerker, George Weatherly, and Engineer E. P. Hangood, examined the levee that has been constructed by A. J. Jorgensen, in accordance with his contract, and on motion of Mr. Hollingshead and seconded by Mr. Allen, this work was accepted, December 23, 1927. The committee is using every effort to make the money go as far as possible, and have this levee in good condition. The repair to other parts of the levee, and the graveling of the road on top of the levee will have to be done. The sum of money collected, and handled through this office to date is $9,627.44. Money from the county has not yet been received. The sum pledged by the railroads, which is 2½ per cent of the cost, has not been received. The petition for the flood district, which has been contemplated, has not yet received enough signatures to present this petition to the board of supervisors. Four hundred additional names are needed, and if those are not secured within the next two or three weeks, it will be impossible to place this property on the tax roll for next year. Certainly those who own property should sign the petition now being held in the Chamber of Commerce office. The Union Pacific, for the purpose of reducing expenses, desires to withdraw a gasoline motor car running between Anaheim and Pico, and substitute two motor busses between these two points. In presenting their side of the case, they stated all they wanted to do was to take care of the through-passengers going east and coming from the east to Anaheim. It was not their desire to pick up passengers between There is always something about the music of colored singers and players which touches a responsive chord in the heart of every listened. They sing the old folk songs of the South in their own immitable way. There is nothing so full of genuine sweetness, so full of melody, as these old negro songs, and it takes the real negro to sing them as they should be sung. The program of The Dixie Jubilee Quartet includes a goodly number of these plantation melodies for which their voices are so peculiarly adapted. However, while the folk-lore songs are favored, the program is interspersed with many humorous and popular selections, as well as attractive features. This combination together with a very fine strain of light comedy, makes a happy combination. The versatility of the company makes an intensely interesting and varied program possible. There is not a dull moment anywhere. The personnel includes a brilliant pianist whose repertoire ranges from the gems of grand opera down to modern popular numbers. Frequent reference is made by the press to Mr. Stewart as "The Black Paderewski." An interesting feature is a group of readings in which Mr. Shupee scores. Mr. Reeves is a splendid tenor soloist and adds variety with his saxophone solos. Everyone likes to hear a bass sing down in the depths, and Mr. Campbell makes the real low notes with ease, his broad and genial smile increasing with every lower tone. Here are a few good desserts to serve when eggs are scarce, as they can be made with no eggs at all, or at most one! One-fashioned creamy rice pudding, without eggs; gelatin made from fruit juices; mince, apple, cranberry, and other fruit pies; cornstarch blanc mange, either vanilla or chocolate; fruit cup; fruit cobblers, made with a biscuit top; dried fruit shortcakes, with biscuit foundation; fresh, stewed, and baked fruits in season; stewed dried fruits; steamed fruit puddings; junket; "flummery," made from canned fruit juices such as blackberry or raspberry thickened with corn starch; baked Indian pudding; fruit sherbets. Big Saving Through Purchasing Board Establishment of Federal Board Wise Economic Move D. B. Walnwright, Jr., assistant chief co-ordinator of the United States government, in an article just printed, declares that, since the establishment of the federal purchasing board, great savings are being brought about in the purchases of the government of the United States through the centralization of buying which this board makes possible. Commenting upon the purpose of the board, Mr. Walnwright said: "The purpose of the board is to coordinate the purchasing activities of all departments of the government with a view to: 1. Securing supplies at lowest prices. 2. Eliminating duplication of effort and reducing overhead expenses. 3. Establishing economical methods of purchase. The board, through its several committees, investigates and studies the purchasing methods used in the several departments, with the view of having improved methods adopted; endeavors to discover those cases where it may be practical and economical to have two or more departments pool their requirements for certain supplies, and have one department, best fitted for the purpose, purchase them all. The policies which now govern the board in the performance of its duties were pronounced in the order creating it, or have been developed by full discussion of questions by the board, and after consideration of recommendations and final decision by the chief co-ordinator. These policies, briefly, are as follows: 1. The power to co-ordinate purchase is centralized in the board, but the actual execution of purchase and administrative matters connected with purchase shall be decentralized and performed by the several departments concerned. No combined general purchasing office for all departments should be established; one office for each major department is as far as centralization can be efficiently carried. 2. Articles that are pre-eminently of a specialized nature will normally not be considered by the board; such purchases to be made by departments as they have always done. 3. Articles that are needed in common by two or more departments will, as far as practicable, be allocated for purchase to the department best fitted to perform the function. 4. Efforts will be made to standardize requirements in order that joint purchasing may be the rule rather than the exception. 5. Generally, the department making the purchase will also make the inspection so as to eliminate duplication. 6. To urge the making of contracts for supplies for immediate delivery in quantities, where storage can be made available, as opposed to contracts covering definite periods where the supplies are delivered in small quantities as they are needed. Quantity delivery in the great majority of cases results in distinctly lower prices. 7. To bring about the adoption of a standard form of government contract for use in purchase of supplies as being extremely desirable in co-ordinating purchases. 8. Practical rather than theoretical conditions shall govern in considering purchases. 9. The procurement agency must remain responsible to higher authority. The duties of the board as set forth in the order creating it are to formulate policies and plans designed to knit the purchasing activities of the several departments and establishments into a Federal Business Association, and to bring about business methods calculated effectively to safeguard the interests of the government, and at the same time to promote the confidence of private business interests and industrial communities doing business with the government."

Broadway—Anaheim, California—Telephone 801 Constipation! How to Keep Bowels Regular DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 83 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children, and particularly old folks, had to be kept constantly "stirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and basty olla. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, billionaires, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening "purge" or "physic" was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel "regularity" even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but, best of all, it never gips, sickens, or upsets the system. Besides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, bdious, sick child gladly takes it.

January 12 is expected to mark another big forward step in the general development program for the Orange county coast line. 576,798 Ounces of Gold Produced California produced 576,798 ounces of gold last year, worth $11,923,481. This is shown in a report by Walter W. Bradley, deputy state mineralogist. The "deep" or lode mines accounted for $6,695,078, and placers, mainly dredgers, produced $5,228,403. Yuba county led in total production, with $2,769,703. Nevada county was second with $2,318,846, and Amador third with $2,167,275. Copper, which is second only to gold among California's mineral resources, showed a total production of 33,521,544 pounds, valued at $4,693,014. As for several years, Plumas ranked first with an output worth $3,102,825; Calaveras second, with $733,730, and Shasta third, with $23,972.
