Past Year's Activity Of Parent-Teachers More Than 6000 Members Now On Roll in County At the windup of its activities for 1927, the Parent-Teacher Association of Orange county (Fourth district) reports a membership of 6000, and the report also enumerates some of the things accomplished during the year. Previous to the year 1927, Santa Anna had the only city council, with 12 associations and a membership of nearly 2500. During 1927, Orange and Anaheim each organized city councils with six associations in each. Under the leadership of Mrs. G. N. Greer, extension chairman, nine new associations have been added in the district, making a total of 61. Working in close co-operation with the county board of health, with Dr. K. H. Sutherland as chairman of child hygiene, Dr. Bessica Rafche, chairman of social hygiene; Miss Helen Woodworth and Miss Linda Huggins, chairman of physical education, The Fourth district is just finishing one of the most ambitious public health programs ever attempted in local parent-teacher circles. From January to December, 1927, 214 child health centers have been in active operation with an attendance of 2762 children and 2200 parents. Cots have been provided for children requiring rest periods in school hours, and milk and hot lunches served to all as needed. Twenty-six thousand five hundred and ninety children have been weighed and measured; 4494 physical examinations have been made, and 1190 physical defects corrected; 15,593 treatments have been given in the schools; 2224 conferences held with parents, and 4182 school visits made. The health of the pre-school child has been carefully supervised with 969 home visits, and 1236 visits in regard to the child after entering school. All this tremendous volume of work has been accomplished through the trained workers in the county health department, acting as parent-teacher chairmen, and receiving every assistance possible from local members and chairmen in each school. Income Tax Payments Break All Records Income taxpayers in the Southern California district paid into Uncle Sam's treasury the immense sum of $10,815,012.92 as their fourth and final payment on 1926 income taxes between December 1 and December 15, 1927. Inclusive. Collector of Internal Revenue Galen H. Welch announced that the fourth payment for 1927 was $1,346,225.07 greater than the fourth payment made in 1926; the percentage of increase was 14.2 per cent. The total collections for the calendar year 1927 exceed $65,000,000, an increase over 1926 of more than $6,000,000. "Southern California may well feel proud of the record," said Mr. Welch. "She has done her full duty in contributing funds needed by the government to meet the enormous debts incurred during, and as a consequence of the World war." The remarkable growth in wealth and population in Southern California is indicated by the fact that in spite of the numerous reductions in income taxes made by congress from time to time since 1920, the collections in 1927 were over $10,000,000 greater than the collections made in 1920, the year in which the highest tax rates assessed in the United States prevailed. Mr. Welch states that the mailing out of forms upon which income tax returns are to be made for the year 1927 has been delayed by order of the commissioner of internal revenue, presumably on account of pending action of congress on the internal revenue bill. THINGS WORTH KNOWING Q.-From who are the Welsh people descended? A.-The earliest historical knowledge of the people of Wales dates from the invasion of Britain by the Romans, in 55 B. C. At that time the tribes of Wales consisted of a mixture of primitive Iberians with the later invading Celts, and were called the Deconglin in the north, the Ordivices in the center, the Silures in the southeast, and the Dematar (Dimatae) in the southwest. All bearing the general name of Cymry. After a long struggle the subjugation of these tribes was accomplished under To Spend His For Improvement Many Extensions This District Is "Four hundred dollars is to be spent California Edison Co., considers and reinforce distributing system at district during 1928." Asker W. L. Delmilinski elpt of information for executive vice-president manager of the company that his recommendation had been applied. In addition to this he spent for actual use in this district. Santa Ana for generation and treatment will amount to explained Mr. Delmilinski in excess of $1,395,000. The Edison company quate electric service. This is part of the budget of $32,091,000 company during 1928. The Santa Ana districts of Santa Ana, and Tustin, and the Grove, 131 Modena, and the intervening business in this district substantial increase, with generous appropriations with the additions we always make to prudent future demands. In addition to this for the 31 geographical ten counties of South California where the electrical service, carries an appropriate timed development of San Joaquin river mission lines with station and switching the addition of new capacity at the Lo-plant. All of this accrue steam and hydro-electric use in this district and the system. The Fourth district heartily sponsors the work of the preventorium under Mrs. Amelia Meagher, and paid all the expenses of one child for the entire season that the camp was open last year. A student loan fund established as a permanent feature of district work, with Mrs. Simon Tousseau as chairman, kept a brilliant boy in Occidental college last year. Another student will be selected in January to receive this aid during the coming semester, as the student formerly added is now able to finance himself. Many educators of Orange county assisted the radio program of the American citizenship department by giving addresses over KHJ. Mrs. Florence Summers, chairman of the department, is arranging a new series to be given over KFON very shortly. This feature of the work was so well received that the state has now introduced a similar program in various cities. Anaheim was chosen as one of three localities in which schools for parental education were conducted by the University of California. It was through the efforts of Mrs. G. E. Holmes, president of the Anaheim city council of Parent-Teacher Associations, that this was accomplished and 75 parent-teacher members received this valuable training, forming a nucleus for future classes within the local association. A second intensive course is to be given the second, week in January by Dr. Rosamond Laws from the University of California. The Automobile Club of Southern California, in co-operation with Mrs. C. C. Troy, chairman of public safety, has put on an intensive program of instruction in the Anaheim public schools. Students serve as traffic officers for the schools with official badges, and when the course is completed each receives a certificate signed by the principal of the school and the officials of the auto club. Those in charge of this work regard it as one of the finest things accomplished locally. Many citizens of the county are not aware that the juvenile detention home and the county free library are two institutions which owe their being directly to the Parent-Teacher Association. A committee headed by Mrs. W. B. Tedford and Mrs. Earl Morris presented the matter to the supervisors over a period of several years, until the institutions were established. Mrs. Tedford is still chairman of juvenile protection in the district and a member of Q.-From who are the Welsh people descended? A.-The earliest historical knowledge of the people of Wales dates from the invasion of Britain by the Romans, in 55 B.C. At that time the tribes of Wales consisted of a mixture of primitive Iberians with the later invading Celts, and were called the Decongi in the north, the Ordivices in the center, the Silures in the southeast, and the Demetar (Dimatae) in the southwest. All bearing the general name of Cymry. After a long struggle the subjugation of these tribes was accomplished under Vespasian. The Welsh of this period were closely related to the Celtic inhabitants of Britain and the latter tribes (occupying what is now England) fleeing before the wave of Anglo-Saxon invasion in later times, took refuge in the Welsh mountains, where in time they became merged with their native kinsmen. Q.-What are the requisites for obtaining the compensation paid by the veterans' bureau to men who served in the World war? A.-To be eligible for compensation a World war veteran must be suffering from injuries received or disease contracted or accelerated in the service in line of duty that causes a reduction in his earning capacity at least 10 per cent. He must have an honorable discharge from the service. Q.-What salary is paid to the governor-general of the Irish Free State and to members of the executive council? A.-Timothy Michael Healy, governor-general of the Irish Free State, receives an annual salary of 10,000 pounds (about $48,600). With the exception of the president, who receives 2500 pounds (about $12,150), the ministers who are members of the executive council receive 1700 pounds (about $260) a year. Q.-What is the meaning of the name "Calvin?" A.-Bald. Q.-When will the next census be taken by the United States? A.-In 1930. Q.-What is the meaning of the name Iona? A.-It is from the Greek, and means "fertile," "delightful." Q.-Where was the battleship Oregon during the World war? A.-On the Pacific coast during the entire period. Q.-What was the real name of Douglas Fairbanks? A.-Ernest Ulman. Q.-Can you give me a comprehensive definition of a trust? A.-A trust is an organization or association of industrial corporations a majority (at least) of the stock in each of which is transferred to a central committee or board of trustees, who while issuing to the stockholders certain certificates showing their interests and right to dividends, exercise the voting power of the stock in electing boards of directors for the various associated corporations; and in other ways, and thus direct their policy for the common object of lessening competition, regulating production and lowered and measured; and 449 physical examinations have been made, and 1190 physical defects corrected; and 15,593 treatments have been given in the schools; and 2224 conferences held with parents, and 4192 school visits made.

M. Backs, county clerk. During the ame month of 1926, 495 documents were issued, the records show. This puts the final month of the 12 just completed, 217 behind its predecessor. Results of the recent legislation requiring a three-day wait before the granting of a license, seem to have indicated that the number is definitely reduced, and may continue to be so. If this be true, however, Orange county does not seem to have fared differently from the rest of the state. Though the actual numbers may be smaller, it is probable that this county will retail its relative position among others in California, it has been pointed out. Backs made no prediction as to what the coming 12 months might bring, but did not think it impossible that a gradual increase would be noticed. To Spend Huge Sums For Improvements Many Extensions to Be Made in This District During Year "Four hundred and fifty-six thousand dollars is to be spent by the Southern California Edison Company for extensions and reinforcements of the electric distributing system in the Santa Ana district during 1928," said District Manager W. L. Deimling today, upon receipt of information from R. H. Ballard, executive vice-president and general manager of the company, advising him that his recommendations for appropriation had been approved. In addition to this sum, which is to be spent for actual construction work in this district, Santa Ana's proportion for generation and transmission equipment will amount to $942,000," explained Mr. Deimling, "making a total in excess of $1,395,000 to be spent by the Edison company to provide adequate electric service for our territory. This is part of the total construction budget of $32,091,000 to be spent by the company during 1928." The Santa Ana district includes the cities of Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim, and Tustin, and the towns of Garden Grove, El Modena, Olive; Villa Park, and the intervening territory. The business in this district shows a substantial increase, which justifies this generous appropriation to keep pace with the additions which the company always makes to provide for present and future demands for service. In addition to the local appropriation for the 31 geographical districts in the ten counties of Southern and Central California where the company renders electrical service, the annual budget carries an appropriation for the continued development of its Big Creek San Joaquin river project, new transmission lines with appurtenant substation and switching facilities and for the addition of new steam generating capacity at the Long Beach steam plant. All of this activity will provide steam and hydro-electric energy for use in this district and other points on the system. Spanish Trail Route Lures Winter Travel The Old Spanish Trail highway, the great transcontinental highway in the extreme south touching the Gulf of Mexico and following in the footsteps of the Conquistadores, is now carrying a tremendous amount of winter traffic. The progress of this trail has been amazing and during 1927 no less than $21,000,000 in new highway completions were opened to travel. The openings celebrated include: The Iberville bridge in Mississippi; Sugarland-Richmond, Texas; paving and bridge; Dayton, Texas; concrete paving; Mobile Bay bridge, ten and one-half miles; Liberty county and East Texas, bridges and paving; Gila River bridge, nine spans; Arizona; Sabine River bridge, Texas-Louisiana line, and the complete paving of the stretch between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. This highway has the distinction of starting at the oldest city on the Atlantic coast, St. Augustine, and ending at the oldest city on the Pacific coast, San Diego. It skirts the southern parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California and is 2759 miles in length. The Old Spanish Trail highway will always keep alive the interesting history reaching from Florida to California. It offers historical associations more romantic than any other transcontinental highway, including the days of Spanish splendor of cavalier and conqueror, of Columbus, Cortez, and Pizarro, of Ponce de Leon, De Soto, half of the third 220,000-volt transmission line has been rushed ahead during the year and this will be completed coincident with the completion of the new power plant." In addition to the local appropriation for the 31 geographical districts in the ten counties of Southern and Central California where the company renders electrical service, the annual budget carries an appropriation for the continued development of its Big Creek-San Joaquin river project, new transmission lines with appurtenant substation and switching facilities and for the addition of new steam generating capacity at the Long Beach steam plant. All of this activity will provide steam and hydro-electric energy for use in this district and other points on the system. "The Santa Ana district ranks very high in the growth of Southern California and the development of the Southern California Edison Company." continued District Manager Delmiling today, in commenting on the information received from the general manager. We are also a great factor in the business of this community; our district payroll will amount to approximately $145,000 for the ensuing year. "Our program for local system reinforcement for the year includes the reinforcement requirements at Fairview, Irvine, Katella, and Santa Ana substations. In addition to this work, many of the main feeder lines into and throughout the district are to have their capacities increased and a great network of new extensions will be made." This has been a very notable year in the history of the Southern California Edison Company; our construction program has been brought to a stage where we are now in a position to state definitely that we can meet all demands for electrical energy which may be made upon us. Three major divisions of our Big Creek-San Joaquin river project were brought to a successful conclusion during the past year. Shaver Lake dam, which will create a new reservoir in the company's series, was completed in September. The new Shaver lake will be larger than the combined capacities of Huntington and Florence lakes. Between Huntington and Shaver lake, a combination conduit and tunnel line six miles in length was completed. Over Kaiser pass, at an altitude ranging between 6000 to 7500 feet, the Mono Bear diversion system was completed just in time to permit us to get our construction crews out of this back country before winter weather closed in upon them. This particular task made it possible to capture the water from two mountain streams, Mono and Bear creeks, and to carry it through approximately five miles of tunnel and across the south fork of the San Joaquin river, through three miles of pipe siphon, 75 inches to 192 inches in diameter, and the emptying of this water into the famous Florence Lake tunnel, through which it is to be carried into Huntington lake. "Approximately 3300 men have been employed on the Big Creek-San Joaquin project during the past year. On a lower altitude, immediately adjacent to power house No. 2, a new plant of 112,000 horsepower is now under construction. This plant will be completed early in 1928, and with its completion the entire series of five great hydro-electric plants will have a capacity of 460,000 Fit is one of the things we're expert in.
