CALIFORNIA VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW Opening Day—Thursday, May 24 Closing Day……Sunday, June 3 King Valencia's Annual Classic VOLUME LVIII HEAVY REGISTRATING CAMPAIGN SHORT FOR OFFICIALS OF CITY DATE OF ELECTION ONLY TWO WEEKS FROM NEXT MONDAY Tuesday Noon Closed the Books for Filing Nominating Papers, and No Eleventh Hour Candidates Appeared; Five Candidates for Council Seats, Three for Treasurer, and Only One Candidate for City Clerkship TUESDAY noon was the zero hour for filing nomination papers for city offices, and as no Swimming Classes Sponsored by Red Cross in Anaheim THAT the Anaheim Red Cross chapter will hold swimming and life saving classes and demonstrations at the city park again this summer and that the chapter plans to aid financially a diagnostic clinic planne dby the Orange County Tuberculosis Association at the Anaheim Union high school later this month, were important announcements by Miss E. Kate Rea, treasurer of the chapter. Plans for repeating the swimming and life saving classes were made at the request of the Anaheim city council, and the classes will open soon after the plunge is put into use this summer, Miss Rea announced. The Anaheim chapter has agreed to contribute up to $50 to the support of the high school diagnostic clinic, which is to be opened soon. The clinic has as its object the discovery of tuberculosis inclined children, and it is said that most of the new cases in Orange county are found among high school pupils. INVITATION TO EXECUTION OF STA MINIATURE CRASH ENCIAS ACCOUNT EACH LEVEL Four Governors A Year's Orange State Are Expected Championship Test Expected Feature of Exhibit Show Also Once A MINIATURE containing three angles, neatly wraps Tuesday Noon Closed the Books for Filing Nominating Papers, and No Eleventh Hour Candidates Appeared; Five Candidates for Council Seats, Three for Treasurer, and Only One Candidate for City Clerkship TUESDAY noon was the zero hour for filing nomination papers for city offices, and as no last minute candidates appeared, the lineup as it stood a week ago will continue to stand through the campaign. As election day is Monday, April 9, two weeks from next Monday, the campaign will be short and, it is believed, will be free from personalities. There are five candidates for councilmen. L. E. Miller and A. Curtis Case, now members of the board, are standing for re-election and asking endorsement of the record made by the present council. Against them are Jacob Lakeman and George W. Bruns, backed by those opposing the improvement program mapped out by the council. In their bill of particulars they demand curtailment of expenditures and lower taxes. This party is augmented by a number of property owners who, under the law, have been compelled to pay a proportionate share of the costs of certain inprovements, such as street light extensions, the uniform shade tree program, paving and other improvements of a kindred nature. H. E. Axup is also in the race for councilman. Mr. Axup is not identified with either side, but evidently is "fernist" the government at the city hall and is seeking one of the seats now occupied by Miller and Case. His candidacy is not worrying friends of the administration, as in all probability he will pull his vote from the opposition. No other candidates have filed for city treasurer, and the race is between Charley Boege, now holding the job; David Jessurun, and Glenn Merrill. Boege is supported by friends of the administration and a long list of followers who have always supported him in the past. Jessurun has a large personal following, while Merrill is backed by the American Legion. It is not believed the winning candidate in this race will have a walk-away. E. B. Merritt, for city clerk, is deprived of the excitement of having an opponent. He is running alone, but perhaps certain names will be written in the ballot against him. The chances are, however, that Mr. Merritt will be re-elected. Registration for this election is unusually heavy for a city election, which indicates the interest taken by the voters in the coming contest. The figures given out yesterday by County Clerk Backs show that 3984 citizens qualified to vote on the ninth. Riley Now Heads Students Debate On Constitution Tommy Kuchel Wins, and Will Orate in County Contest Preliminary steps toward the finale in the annual debating contest between high school students on the subject of the Constitution has begun, but there will be many steps to climb before the closing contest is waged at Washington with the President of the United States and many dignitaries as auditors. The Anaheim high school held its debate for the purpose of choosing a representative from this school Monday, and Tommy Kuchel won the decision over all opponents. Tommy is president of the student body of the high school. He has been prominent in debate and active in athletics, and now he is chosen to represent his school in the oratorical battle that will have its climax in Washington. The judges in the contest Monday were: J. A. Clayes, principal; Miss Bella Walker, assistant principal; Charles Rinehart and Miss Myrtle Owens, instructors. The next contest will be between the chosen representatives of the eight high schools of the county. Kuchel will represent the Anaheim school. The winner there will represent Orange county in the district contest at Los Angeles, and the man who wins highest honors in that debate will contest for the championship of California and the right to represent this state at Washington in the final. California's representative won the blue ribbon at Washington two years ago. His name is Wenig, and he was a student of the Hollywood high school. On the invitation of Dr. B. S. Haywood, Tommy will deliver his address at the Men's Open Forum Club meeting at White Temple church Monday evening. At an oratorical contest before the Toastmasters' Club, at the Elks clubhouse, Tuesday evening, participated in by high school students, Arthur Groos was declared the winner by the judges. The subject was "The Future of Anaheim." Last year Groos was orator in the local school in the contest on the Constitution.

Past Year's Fatalities In Orange County With 53 deaths in Orange county from automobile accidents in 1927, the county was second in 12 of the Southland counties in the number of deaths per 1000 vehicles. It was revealed through a tabulation of deaths last week. Credited with a registration of 43,660 motor vehicles, the county ratio of deaths was 1.1910 per 100 vehicles, it was revealed. San Louis Obispo county was high with a record of 1.6202, the number of death being 16 on a total registration of 9875. The number of deaths, the registration and the number of deaths per 1000 vehicles are given in their order in the following: Ventura ... 28 17,727 1.5795 Imperial ... 27 19,593 1.2780 Kern ... 44 33,903 1.2978 San Bernardino ... 49 40,584 1.2074 Riverside ... 33 27,345 1.2068 San Diego ... 68 66,351 1.0399 Santa Barbara ... 18 20,497 .8782 Los Angeles ... 589 689,902 .8537 Tulare ... 22 28,431 .7738 Inyo-Mono ... 1 3,132 .4193 Total ... 948 1,001,000 .9470 March 25 will be Home Mission Sunday at the Free Methodist church, corner of Sycamore and North Claudina streets.

No less than four governors lent the dignity of their presence last year, and this year many more are expected. The fame of the California Valencia Orange Show is spreading to great distances, for people from every state in the Union, as well as from fifteen foreign countries, attended last year's show. This year, low excursion rates from the East will be in effect, and will afford opportunity for thousands to make the trip who have never attended before. Although visiting governors can hardly be looked upon as prospective settlers—at least until their term of office expires—many visitors who have attended other California Valencia Orange Shows have succumbed to the lure of wealth and climate of which Orange county so proudly boasts, and become permanent settlers. During the last 20 years, the population of this graden spot increased 600 per cent and its wealth made a neat little gain of 800 per cent, so it seems that Orange county really has something worth talking about to offer, and all governors might do well to visit the coming show. One of the most exciting features of the 11 days' entertainment will be the world's championship orange packing contest. Just how many young ladies will compete for the prize and the crown is not yet known, but it is supposed that every community in the citrus belt will put forth its champion. At any rate, the most expert handlers of the golden fruit in all California will be entered in the race, and a great deal of interest is being taken in the contest. A radio show is to be one of the new features, and will probably be a big drawing card. An automobile show will be another important part of the industrial section, and one which has always proved popular. Plans now call for twelve feature exhibits which will incorporate the "Aladdin Lamp" idea, theme of this year's show, along with beauty of display. The best twelve ideas will be awarded feature "spots" in the show. Competition has become so keen, it was stated by officers of the exhibit, that this year's display has taken on the appearance of the most unique, colorful, and interesting in the history of the Valencia spectacle. A 600-acre site, known as "the old Brea airport," to the east of that city, is regarded as meeting every geographic and meteological requirement of the proposed dirigible factory, and has been called to the attention of prominent Los Angeles and Pasadena men closely allied to the Guggenheim foundation for the development of aeronautics.

They are determined that nothing shall be left undone in their efforts to "sell" the Brea site. Interesting Meeting Of D. A. R. Chapter Mrs. L. B. Easton Hostess to Society Last Friday The Mother Colony chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held their regular meeting Friday, March 16, with Mrs. L. B. Easton of South Palm street. There was a large attendance of members and guests interested in the activities of the organization. Attending from out-of-town were: Mrs. H. O. Phillips of Santa Ana, Mrs. Flora M. Pyle of Westminster, and Mrs. Anderson of Benton Harbor, Mich., who is spending the winter with Mrs. Nellie Seltz. A report of the state convention recently held in Los Angeles was given by Mrs. Mary McLure. The presence of Grace Brosseau, national president, and also the election of Mrs. Theodore Hoover its state regent, added greatly to the interest of this year's convention. Those attending the sessions and social functions from Anaheim were: Mrs. L. C. Deming, Mrs. J. S. Sheridan, Miss McLure, and Mrs. L. B. Easton. Following the report, Mrs. J. S. Sheridan presented a scholarly paper upon "Genealogical Research." It was voted to have four copies of the paper made and sent to the State Loan Library for use in other chapters. Miss Geraldine Dolan also gave a most interesting paper upon her family history, compiled from her own researches and assisted by her aged grandmother. A dozen examples of homepun weaving, samplers, brass work, etc., were exhibited by members. At the close of the program refreshments were served by the hostess, assisted by Miss Honor Easton and Mrs. Robert Easton. The Daughters of the American Revolution offer programs of unusual interest, and besides are doing a vital work in the community by upholding patriotic standards and preserving our HAPPEN HERE Uneasiness on Part of People Below Unwarranted, He Declares; Proposes to Impound Water With Bank of Earth Quarter of a Mile Thick; Sites Now Being Considered by Engineers, but No Decision Made SINCE the great disaster in the Santa Clara valley, where 450 people were swept to death in the dead of night by the collapse of the St. Francis dam, much fear has been expressed in Anaheim over a possible repetition of this calamity, should a dam be built in the canyon above this city. This need cause no uneasiness here because the Santa Ana dam should it be built, will be constructed on an entirely different plan. Pointing out the contrast between conditiona in the Santa Ana canyon and those at the St. Francis dam site, which he has just visited, Paul Bailey, water conservation engineer for Orange county, said that there is no basis for comparison between the proposed structure here and the one which recently broke. Plans at present provide for an earth dam at some point in the Santa Ana canyon, he said. Such a bulwark would be a quarter of a mile in thickness, whereas the dam which collapsed was 150 or 160 feet through. Even though the underground strata might be a soft rock, Bailey declared, this vast amount of earth would serve as a successful barrier to possible undermining by the water. The studies being made at present are for the purpose of discovering if there is any weakness below the surface which might give way under pressure. "Even though we may not discover such weakness, we will build the dam just as though it were there, and thus provide for possible failure to locate it," Bailey stated. The rock formation at the St. Francis dam, he said, seems to be harder than in the Santa Ana canyon, but it is more shattered. However, if the weakness here were eight times as great, the dam would still have the same strength, because of its immensely greater thickness. The matter of drainage is one which must receive considerable attention in an earth dam according to Bailey. When the soil becomes saturated, some means of taking it away must be installed. Modern practice favors selecting the soil with great care, placing the most impervious on the face of the structure, and following it with the more pervious soil. This will allow the water which seeps through first layer to drain through the remaining portions. The important goal is to prevent absolute saturation of the earth.

Competition has become so keen, it was stated by officers of the exhibit, that this year's display has taken on the appearance of the most unique, colorful, and interesting in the history of the Valencia spectacle. At present the most likely looking entries are Pasadena, Fullerton, Anaheim High School, State Agriculture District, Citrus Exhibitors, Long Beach, San Bernardino, Pomona, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, and San Diego. According to George Raid, this show will be the biggest—the best—in eight years. F. A. Yungbluth, president of the Chamber of Commerce, is chairman of the executive committee; H. E. W. Barnes heads the entertainment committee; Robert Strain has charge of the world championship orange packing contest, and Fred P. Robins will take charge of the parade and floats. Wedding Sunday at Grunemay Home In a pretty wedding solemnized Sunday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Louise Grunemay, 215 East Alberta street, Miss Hedwig Grunemay became the bride of Samuel E. Leard, of Lake Tahoe, the Rev. Mr. Huff of the Lutheran church officiating. About 50 guests, including relatives and intimate friends, witnessed the ceremony. A reception was held following the ceremony, out-of-town guests being Walter Newton, Tex Baquet, James Miller, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Minium and son; John; Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Page, of Los Angeles, and Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Heicke, of Pasademm. Following a honeymoon trip to Catalina, Mr. and Mrs. Loard will make their home at Lake Tahoe. The bride has lived in Anaheim all her life and graduated from the Anaheim Union high school with the class of 1925. Urging the Voters To Get on Register March 31 Last Day for Presidential Primary Registration Registrars of voters and county clerks throughout Southern California have united in a last-minute appeal to citizens to register before midnight, March 31. These officials have issued warning that no citizens can be allowed to vote in the presidential preference primary of Tuesday, May 1. When the Republican and Democratic parties will choose delegates to their national conventions, unless he has registered since January 1 and unless he indicates his party at time of registration. Under the California election laws, each two years constitutes a registration period, the last registration period expiring on December 31, 1927. New registration was opened on January 1. At present four political parties are recognized in California, Republican, Democratic, Socialist and Prohibition. In registering citizens are asked by deputy registrars or clerks to indicate party preference. If the citizen declines to indicate party preference, he is recorded in a "decline of state" column and is barred from participation in a party election such as the coming presidential primary, or even the August state primary, except for such non-earth dam, according to Bailey history, compiled from her own researches and assisted by her aged grandmother. A dozen examples of homespun weaving, samplers, brass work, etc., were exhibited by members. At the close of the program refreshments were served by the hostess, assisted by Miss Honor Easton and Mrs. Robert Easton. The Daughters of the American Revolution offer programs of unusual interest, and besides are doing a vital work in the community by upholding patriotic standards and preserving our local history. Important goal is to prevent absolute saturation of the earth. No general rules can be laid down, for each site presents certain features of which special allowance must be made in final plans. One lesson emphasized by the St. Francis disaster is that eternal vigilance and extreme care must not be relaxed in making absolutely certain that the dam which this county may construct is safe beyond any chance of doubt, Bailey declared. Anaheim Grower Buys Valuable Ranch W. M. Gregg, Anaheim rancher, has purchased of Mrs. Isabella Chambers of Hemet, Riverside county, a 320-acre ranch, paying $250,000 cash for it. The ranch is located near Hemet. One hundred acres of the tract are set to full hearing Valencias, and the remainder is in bare land. Gregg plans to set the entire tract to Valencias and navels. The property is unique in that it is entirely free from frost and wind and has never been fumigated or sprayed, being entirely free of scale, pests or disease. Gregg who has been a citrus grower in this section for over twenty years, owns 76 acres of oranges near Anaheim. The trees on the Hemet property are 13 years old. partisan officers as district attorney judges and like. All adult citizens of the United States who have lived in the state one year, in the county of their residence for three months, and in their precinct for 30 days are eligible to vote if registered.

Easter against Clarence M. Easter, Anahelm painter. The Easters were married in 1919, in Nebraska, and separated January 6, this year. After the couple moved from Berkeley to Anaheim, Easter insisted that his wife accompany him on "wild parties," and she occasionally did so for the sake of harmony, she said. But Easter's conduct in public humiliated and embarrassed his wife, she alleges. On many occasions at their home, 516 South Lemon street, Easter, according to his wife, would display his revolver in order to intimidate, and once fired the weapon in the house to prove to her that it was loaded. On March 3, he abused and struck her, she claims. VOTERS DEFEAT AN EXATION PROJECT VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL TUESDAY WAS 55 'NO' AND 34 'YES' Second Backset Suffered by Property Owners of District Who Are Anxious to Get Into Fold and Enjoy Benefits of Our Government; Project May Be Brought Up Again With Some Opponents Eliminated ONCE again residents on the east side have been balked in their efforts to bring their Conference Planned On Junior College Committee of Three Appointed to Get Action of Proposal Plans were laid at a meeting of representatives of Fullerton, Brea-Ollinda, and Anaheim Chambers of Commerce at McFarland's cafe. Fullerton, last Thursday night, for discussion on the northern Orange county college project. Appointment of a committee of one member from each of the high school boards of the three districts represented within the proposed project, which would include Fullerton, Brea-Ollinda, and Anaheim, marked the first step to get the educators together on the matter. This committee has been requested to call a meeting of the three boards at some date in the near future, at which time various phases of the junior college question will be considered from an administrative point of view. An expression of opinion on the junior college question is anticipated from the high school boards following this session and a representative group, to form the nucleus of a permanent organization, will be selected to hear the report. Members of the committee to call the high school boards together are: S. C. Hartranft, Fullerton; Dr. W. E. Jackson, Brea-Ollinda, and Dr. D. L. Harpster, Anaheim. A special committee which is to arrange for a general meeting on the junior college matter at a date to suit the convenience of the first committee, was named. The members of this committee are Dale King, Fullerton; C. R. Merriffield, Brea-Ollinda, and J. G. Hilleary, Anaheim. It is to be the work of this committee to arrange for a meeting to be attended by representatives of all of the grammar school districts within the three high school districts involved. No date has been set for the meeting, the matter of holding their own session being left to the discretion of the high school boards. J. A. Prizer, of Fullerton, was selected as temporary chairman, and Dale R. King as temporary secretary. Prizer will preside at the group meeting to be held following the report of the conference of the high school boards, according to the decision of the meeting. AND 34 'YES' Second Backset Suffered by Property Owners of District Who Are Anxious to Get Into Fold and Enjoy Benefits of Our Government; Project May Be Brought Up Again With Some Opponents Eliminated Once again residents on the east side have been balked in their efforts to bring their homes into the corporation, where they can enjoy the benefits of city conveniences. This is the second time the proposal was submitted to the voters of the district, and for the second time it was defeated by a decisive majority. The vote Tuesday was 34 in its favor and 55 against it. Opponents of the movement predicted this result two days prior to the election, as they had taken a careful poll and were confident of victory. They had 55 opposing names on the list, and apparently all of them voted, as the opposition vote was 55. There are only 98 voters in the district, consequently there was no question of the outcome. Proponents of the movement, those residents and property owners who are anxious to reap the benefits of city life, have not abandoned the project, but probably some day will bring it forward again in a modified form. Fear of additional taxes and the propaganda now being broadcast by opponents of the city council relative to the high cost of the improvement program outlined by the city government, undoubtedly influenced many of the property owners to oppose annexation. A delegation met with the council two weeks ago and propounded a number of questions relative to proposed improvements and alterations, quoting some of the rumors they had heard. They were effectually answered by City Manager Price, but apparently naillin gthe false propaganda did not influence them in their determination to oppose the project. There are 285 acres in the tract which it sought to bring in, and the population is estimated at 300. It would have added many hundreds of thousands of dollars to the assessment roll of the city, and would have given the residents there the benefits of all the conveniences as well as the protection of a city dweller. What the next step will be by those who are determined to get into the fold remains to be seen. Legion Auxiliary Plans Orphan Home All Units in County Raising Funds for Building That the children's home toward Big Registration For City Election Eighty Per Cent of Total Vote of Anaheim Qualified County Clerk J. M. Backs announced Wednesday the complete registration figures for cities of the sixth class, revealing that 17,905 voters will have a chance to express their preferences at the municipal elections on April 9 in twelve Orange county cities. Anaheim has brought to light the largest number of electors in sixth class cities, according to Backs' figures, and will have to provide ballots for 3984 citizens. Four newly incorporated cities will participate in the coming event, Tustin, San Clemente, Placentia, and Laguna Beach having entered the incorporated group since last general municipal elections. Laguna Beach will have 887 voters, Placentia 272, San Clemente 179, and Tustin 396. The four communities will supply a total of 1734 who are entitled to ballot on April 9. Total registration two years ago amounted to 15,394. Backs said. The increase for the county in number of voters in sixth class cities is 2511. Figures for the voting communities follow: Anaheim, 3984; Fullerton, 3824; Orange, 3524; Brea, 866; Huntington Beach, 1691; La Habra, 815; Newport Beach, 1214; Placentia, 272; San Clemente, 179; Seal Beach, 453; Tustin, 396. Next step will be by those who are determined to get into the fold remains to be seen. Legion Auxiliary Plans Orphan Home All Units in County Raising Funds for Building That the children's home toward which the Orange county Legion auxiliary has been working will be established soon at, or near, Garden Grove, meeting of the county council. American Legion auxiliary, which was held at the home of Mrs. Dobbins at Long Beach. The Anaheim unit has already started a fund to be used for the building of the home. Reports from the various chapters throughout the county were given. Mrs. Florence Smith, president of Anaheim unit, gave a report of the luncheon held recently at the Roosevelt hotel, Hollywood, in honor of the national president, Mrs. Wahlbridge. There were 50 Orange county members present at the luncheon. A luncheon is being planned by the council for May 15 to be held in the new Legion home at Orange to honor the state president, Mrs. Hearst. May 29 has been the day decided upon as Poppy Day. These poppies are made by disabled veterans and will be sold on the streets by auxiliary members. The money derived is all used for welfare work. Orange county units are making plans to sell more poppies than ever before. A booth is planned for the orange show to be held at Anaheim, in which articles made by disabled men will be sold. There will also be a booth for this purpose at the Orange County Fair. Units throughout the county have been active the past month with dinners, card parties and food sales, all working for the purpose of raising money to carry on their work. Anaheim unit took in 17 new members last month and also held a card party.
