At this election two councilmen will be elected, as well as a city clerk and city treasurer. The terms of Councilmen Miller and Case expire this spring, but both are candidates for re-election. Indications are that they will not have a clear track in the race, however, as it is rumored that opponents of the present government have been busy grooming a couple of candidates to run against them. Chances are that the contest will be a spirited one, but if the opposition expects to get within sight of the tape at the finish, it will have to put forward candidates who measure up to the standard demanded by the critical voters of Anaheim. It is not likely that City Clerk Merritt or City Treasurer Boege will have any opposition. For this election the nineteen precincts in the city have been consolidated into nine, as follows: Consolidated precinct A—state and county precincts and Anaheim precincts 2 and 3—polling place, Anaheim Union high school building, West Center and Citron streets. Consolidated precinct B—state and county and Anaheim precincts 1 and 4—polling place, Euco-Lemo Soap Company office, 911 North Los Angeles street.

Pythians to Celebrate Sixty-fourth Birthday Members of the Anaheim lodge of Knights of Pythias and the auxiliary of Pythian Sisters are making elaborate plans for the celebration of the sixty-fourth anniversary of the founding of the order, which will be held February 20. The program will include an address by William Kelsey on "Our Anniversary" and a discussion of "Pythian Community Service Work" will be given by Fred Davis. The entertainment will be open to the public. The new roster of officers of the Anaheim lodge, headed by Chancellor Commander Eden, entered on the year's work Monday night, when they initiated Eden's son, John Eden. John Eden will receive the esquire rank next Monday. The district council, comprising nine lodges from Orange and Los Angeles counties, met last Friday in the Anaheim temple.

Injured Students Recover Rapidly Miss Florence Backs is steadily recovering her health at her home, following the accident on the Rim of the World highway, two weeks ago, when the car containing six students of Fulerton Junior College plunged down an embankment several hundred feet. Three broken ribs and a broken arm are knitting nicely, and she will probably soon be able to be out again. Bob Schweinfeat, who suffered a dislocation of the hip, is recovering at his home. Jim Stephens is getting over his injuries, and Paul Stanley is rapidly regaining his health. The car which plunged over the embankment was so badly wrecked that it was abandoned. Parts of it were salvaged, but the wreck remains at the bottom of the declivity. Mr. and Mrs. N. Read Both Ill at Banning Mr. and Mrs. John Heying and Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Heying have been at Banning for the past two weeks at the bedside of Mrs. Noah Read and her husband, both of whom are very ill. Mrs. Read is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Heying and a sister of Emil-Noah Read, an employee of the Union Oil Company, was stricken with tuberculosis, and went to Banning several months ago for his health. Six weeks ago, Mrs. Read, with her two children, moved to Banning to make a home for him. Recently Mrs. Read was taken ill with a serious stomach trouble, and was operated on twice a day. She is in a serious slight improvement yesterday, and their friend both she and her husb AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, February 16, 1928 JUNIOR COLLEGE FOR NORTH END PROPOSED PLANS ARE LAID TO UNITE ANAHEIM AND FULLERTON ON PROJECT Joint Conference of Chambers of Commerce of Two Cities to Be Held Here Next Week; Fullerton Postpones Action on Proposal to Issue $600,000 Bonds for Construction of New Educational Buildings THE strenuous opposition of Santa Ana and Fullerton to the establishment of a county Says Property Wasted While He Was Away WHILE Martin P. Hamrick spent 10 years in Panama in the United States army, his inheritance, consisting of a 47-acre ranch in Olive and a brick building in Los Angeles, went to decay and ruin, according to a complaint left at the courthouse, in which he asks $24,-334.91 damages from his stepfather, J. D. Thomas, who is alleged to have a life estate in the property. Hamrick requests the appointment of a receiver to prevent further waste and deterioration, which he claims will occur if the estate is left in its present hands. His mother, Mrs. Elsie L. P. Thomas, died in 1918, the complaint recalls, and left the property to him. But his stepfather was to have a life interest in it. Hamrick went to Panama, leaving the ranch and business property in the control of Thomas, he stated. When he returned, he found that the trees on the ranch had not been irrigated, fertilized, or protected from disease. ORANGE COUNTY AS SEEN BY A VISITOR INDIANA EDITOR WRITES HIS IMPRESSIONS AND PUBLISHES THEM Wonderful Sights Seen in All Sections of County; Grows Enthusiastic Over Mountains, Ocean, Cities, Orange Groves, and People; Finds Nothing in the Entire Vista to Criticize; Our Climate, Also, Suits Him AFTER sojourning for months in Orange county and visiting all its nooks and corners, B. B. Joint Conference of Chambers of Commerce of Two Cities to Be Held Here Next Week; Fullerton Postpones Action on Proposal to Issue $600,000 Bonds for Construction of New Educational Buildings THE strenuous opposition of Santa Ana and Fullerton to the establishment of a county junior college and the expressed determination of those cities to maintain their own institutions, already in operation, has cast a wet blanket over the project. Both Santa Ana and Fullerton are planning the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars in buildings for their junior colleges, and with those two cities and the neighboring territory embodied in their high school districts standing almost solidly against it, a bond issue for the purpose of establishing a county college would be a doubtful proposition. Realizing this, a new movement is now on foot, and in all probability it will meet with universal approval. The proposition is to consolidate all northern Orange county into one junior college district, which will be maintained and supported by all the districts. A meeting has been called representatives from Anaheim, Fullerton, and the other towns and districts to discuss the project and form a definite plan of action if it meets the approval of all sections. The Fullerton high school trustees recently launched a proposal for the issuance of $600,000 in bonds for the purpose of erecting new junior college buildings, but at last week's meeting of the board action on the proposition was postponed because of the belief that opposition would be strong enough to defeat the bonds. It is believed that organization of a district comprising all of northern Orange county would meet general approval. The first definite step toward the establishment of a joint school will be taken at a meeting to be held next week—probably Thursday night—by the Anaheim and Fullerton Chambers of Commerce. The conference will be held at the city hall in this city, and the sentiment of the two cities will no doubt be ascertained. As the proposition is sponsored by leading citizens who realize the importance and value of such an institution, it is not expected that much adverse sentiment will be expressed. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce favors the movement, and it is believed Fullerton will do likewise. In the meantime the committee appointed by the Associated Chambers of Commerce to make a survey of the county and ascertain its educational needs is making progress and eventually will make a report. William J. Cooper, state superintendent of public schools, may make the investigation. The supervisors Tuesday appropriated $1000 out of the expenses of the investigation. Hamrick requests the appointment of a receiver to prevent further waste and deterioration, which he claims will occur if the estate is left in its present hands. His mother, Mrs. Elsie L. P. Thomas, died in 1918, the complaint recalls, and left the property to him. But his stepfather was to have a life interest in it. Hamrick went to Panama, leaving the ranch and business property in the control of Thomas, he stated. When he returned, he found that the trees on the ranch had not been irrigated, fertilized, or protected from disease, he said. The brick building in Los Angeles had attained a leaky roof, decayed floors, and the walls were leaning out of plumb. The Olive ranch would have been worth $100,000 today if it had been cared for, he asserted in the complaint. But in its present state it is valued by him at $40,000. He claims that according to law he is entitled to collect treble damages, which would amount to over $200,000. Ten Millions Paid By Fruit Exchange Growers in South End of County Have Prosperous Year The Orange County Fruit Exchange, which handles about 80 per cent of the citrus fruit grown on the south and east sides of the Santa Ana river, returned to its member associations $10,282,614.46 between November 1, 1926, and November 1, 1927. It was revealed in the annual statement made by L. D. Palmer, manager of the fruit exchange. The sum includes returns on 61,592 boxes of Valencias of the 1926 crop shipped after November 1. The returns amounted to $339,675.25. There were however, 29,438 boxes of Valencias of the 1927 crop shipped after November 1, 1927, which returned $253,473.85. These were not included in the report for the last fiscal year. Reduced to the 1927 crop, the manager said the production of 2,378,731 boxes returned the associations $10,537,088.31. This is, of course, the largest crop of citrus fruit, representing most money ever marketed through this organization and exceeds by 88,406 boxes and by $1,894,341.80 the largest previous year's business," says the manager in his report. On the basis of 400 boxes to the car, the exchange shipped during the season, 5945 cars of Valencias, 622 cars of lemons, 112 of navels, and 69 miscellaneous varieties, including sweets, seedlings, St. Michaels and grapefruit. Increasing Work For Child Relief Through the orange and lemon belt through the sleepy little Spanish village of El Modena up into the foothills to where Orange County park extends for acres and acres. It reaches out for miles under the out-flung branches of live oaks of great age. Under these splendid old trees are long tables and benches, fireplaces for cooking, and a great pavilion for dancing. Here many barbecues and picnics, steak bakes and reunions are held the year around. The altitude here is a little higher and the air is exhilarating.

Increasing Work For Child Relief More Than Hundred and Fifty Cripples Now Being Treated The Crippled Children's Association of Orange County constantly is increasing its service in corrective work in cases of malformed children, according to the report of Mrs. Gertrude Crowell, superintendent to the directors at a meeting held at Fullerton Friday. Mrs. Crowell reported 22 cases under observation the past month, with treatments given patients numbering 152. Pointing out that the good offices of the association are not exclusively for indigent children, she indicated that more applications for service are being received as the work of the organization becomes better known throughout the county. President Harry D. Riley announced that County School Superintendent R. P. Mitchell is now making a survey of Orange county children with a view to ascertainting how many crippled children are being deprived of public school facilities because of some deformity. It was intimated as intention of the officers to utilize the survey in giving the service to the boys and girls who may need assistance in correction of their misshapen bodies, and that the organization would extend the aid as far as it was possible to do so with the funds at its disposal. "Our association is dedicated to the service of all crippled children throughout Orange county and vexinity, to see that the bent are straightened, the broken repaired, the weak strengthened, and all educated, without regard to color, nationality, or sectarian relationship," reads a paragraph in the new great pavilion for dancing.

This is the largest amount ever received by Orange county in its history, and must be used for highway maintenance and repair, and payment of traffic officers' salaries, according to Frank B. Snook, chief of the state division of motor vehicles. This year the apportionment is based on a total registration of fee-paid vehicles during 1927 of 1,736,765, or 95,214 more than the total for the previous year. They do not include the numerous public service cars exempt from the license fee.

This represents a gain of 42,995 over the previous year. Former Anaheimer Passes to Beyond Ed Raine Dies at Santa Ana Valley Hospital Friday Night Ed Raine, a pioneer of this section, who came to Anaheim 56 years ago, died at the Santa Ana Valley hospital Friday night, at the age of 74. Funeral services were held at the Winbler parlor, Santa Ana, Tuesday afternoon, and the remains were buried in Westminster cemetery by the side of his parents. He is survived by his widow, Mary V. Raine, and three sons, G. L. of Los Angeles, C. E. of San Diego, and Arthur E. of Los Angeles. It was in 1872 that the Raine family located at Anaheim, and relocated three years later on a ranch in the "Gospel Swamp" in what is now the Newhope district. After reaching his majority, Ed Raine and his father, J. B. Raine, operated in farming as partners and in their day were known as the largest ranch operators in this vicinity. The father and son introduced the growing of hops in the Newhope district and were successful in propagation of the product. They also were among the first to plant celery in the peat lands, their planting anti-dating the development of celery growing by Mr. Smeltzer, who came here from Chicago to introduce its cultivation. For the past 20 years Mr. Raine has been fruit farming on acreage on West Chapman street. Intensely interested in athletics, Mr. Raine was always a conspicuous figure at big meetings, and rarely ever missed a baseball game. His name was prominently identified with baseball in the early days here, and he was a member of several different teams that won prominence in Southern California amateur contests in the early days. An estate valued at approximately $30,000 was left by Oris A. Mullinix, who died at Anaheim, February 3, according to a petition for probating the Thursdays Night Speakers Air Their Disapproval of Various Acts of Board During Past Year or Two; Members Become Peeved and Warn Protestants to Modify Their Language; Adopt Resolutions Ordering Completion of Work THERE was something of a protechnic display at the meeting of the city council Thursday night, when several persons opposed to the tree planting campaign inaugurated by the City Planning Commission, and the extension of ornamental lights as outlined by the city government, met at the council room and voiced their sentiments in unmistakable language. Mrs. Mary Ziegler and W. B. Allen were the principal protestants, and others took part in the discussion. The speakers did not confine themselves to the tree planting project, but mentioned other acts of the council which failed to meet their approval, especially the Greek theatre recently erected in Municipal park. In fact, some of the remarks became so bitter and personal that speakers were warned to modify their language or they might be called upon to prove the charges. City Manager Price explained some of the provisions of the plan which apparently had not been thoroughly understood by the protestants, and Dr. Walter L. Bigham, chairman of the planning commission, defended the commission's policy and answered a number of questions regarding costs and methods of operation. He said the commission had devoted an entire year to working on plans for the campaign because virtually every civic organization, women's club and many fraternal organizations had urged the city to plant trees. He declared if left to the people to plant the trees, as had been suggested by a couple of speakers, not more than 50 per cent of the people would plant the trees and less than that per cent would take care of them after they were planted. Mayor Leonard declared the council was trying to work for the people and it made no difference to the individual members whether the trees were planted or not. They would have to bear their full share in the costs. He too, declared the project had only been taken up at the request of leading civic organizations. H. E. W. Barnes, former president of the Chamber of Commerce, supported the tree planting campaign, stating that if the people wanted the city so advance they must spend a little money in beautifying it and make it attractive to the thousands of home seekers and investors who are flocking to California. After listening to all the arguments, the council swept aside the protests and adopted resolutions ordering the work done in accordance with the commission's plans.

Citrus Exchange Elects New Officers Directors of Northern Orange County Association Meet The annual meeting of the directors and managers of the various houses connected with the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange will be held at McFarland's cafe, Fullerton, tonight. It was announced by Dale R. King, manager of the exchange, following the annual meeting of the directors of this organization Monday afternoon. Dana C. King, orange sales manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, will be the principal speaker at the meeting. He will tell of his trip to Europe and of the prospects of the export market for citrus products. V. C. Dillingham, of Yorba Linda, was re-elected president of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange at the annual meeting Tuesday. J. M. Callen, of Fullerton, was made first vice-president; Louis Jacobson, of Placentia, second vice-president; Dale R.

The report of Deputy City Comptroller W. J. Lake, showing collections from the sale of electric light as $13,790.60, water $3,828.35, and power $2,104.60, was read and approved. Business licenses collected by J. S. Martin, tax collector, totalled $518 during January, according to his report, which was filed. Miss Elizabeth Calnon, city librarian, reported receipts of $106.25 and disbursements of $1,567.26 at the library during January. The building inspector's report showed 17 permits issued in January, with a valuation of $18,626. V. W. Hannum, city electrician, reported the issuance of 28 electric wire permits, five electric power permits, and seven electric light fixture permits for which the city received $113.80. The reports of the city clerk and city treasurer showed a balance of $229,-193.82 in the city treasury February 9. Of this sum $101,689.17 was in the general fund. The city also holds a mortgage on the sewer farm of $6,399.85. An insurance policy in the sum of $5000 covering the bathhouse in the city park, was approved by the council. E. A.

Although the Valencia orange crop will be but 65 per cent of normal in this district, the prices will undoubtedly be very high, according to Manager King. The navel crop will be about 75 per cent normal and the lemon crop will be about normal.
