Many turkeys had yielded up their lives to feed these hungry guests, and all the trimmings necessary to make a turkey dinner perfect were provided. The newspaper men, who constituted a large proportion of the banqueters, were given the privilege of designating the queen of the orange show. There was a large group to select from. Nine cities had brought forward candidates for the honor, and after looking them over, the scribes decided Miss Ada Williams of Fullerton was the best fitted to wear a crown and sit on a throne. Candidates were presented by Fullerton, Pasadena, San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Sacramento, Beverly Hills, Culver City, and Long Beach. According to announcement by Donald M. Bangs, advertising manager for the show, Los Angeles newspapers present formed the largest group of scribes of the metropolis ever gathered at one meeting. Newspapermen were present also from many other communities in the Southland. The big dining room, gaily decorated in Chinese colors, was crowded with men who evidenced in many ways their enthusiasm for the annual affair that has done much to advertise the Valencia orange and focus attention on Orange county as the greatest producer of this fruit in the United States. The enthusiasm of guests made it difficult for Fritz Yungbluth, president of the show, and Dr. F. H. Johnson, to put over their program of entertainment talks. Roy Mendoza, in Chinese garb, was the official greeter, and Dr. Johnson, also in costume, was greeted as "Ah Sing." The vaudeville program was featured by a "Chinese" magician, who mystified his audience by some very clever tricks. Jack Gledhill's orchestra dispensed music that maintained the spirit of the meeting. The following responded to Dr. Johnston's request for short talks, most of them, however, being content to merely rising and acknowledging introduction: William Schumacher, chairman of the Orange county board of supervisors; J. M. Backs, county clerk; Al Parmenter, Los Angeles Times, who introduced the group of Los Angeles newspaper men; W. H. Blodgett, of the M.D.D. Redlands; Robert Stram, Fullerton, of No Interest Taken In School Election Retiring Members of the Two Boards Are Re-Elected Election for school trustees in both the high and grammar school districts was tape and unexciting last Friday, as there was no contest. The two high school members whose terms expired, and the one retiring member of the grammar school board, were re-elected without opposition. Only 138 votes were cast at the Central school for grammar trustee, and less than 400 were polled in the entire high school district. Dr. J. W. Harpster of the Katella district and George Baker of Loara were the members of the high school board whose terms expired. Dr. Harpster received 386 votes and Baker 398. At the Central school, where Frank N. Gibbs was standing for re-election to the board, he received 129 of the votes cast. In nearly all of the districts a few scattering votes were cast by parties who wished to compliment a friend, perhaps. The only contest in the elections held Friday for trustees in the various grammar school districts included in the Anaheim Union high school district occurred in Loara, where Archie Henry defeated E. C. Rundstrom for the one vacancy on the board by a vote of 106 to 43. In the other districts belonging to the high school district the election was quiet and the vote light. At Centralia, S. J. Coughran was elected; at Katella, Thomas Haster; at Cypress, Sam Miller; at Savanna, Earl Lukins, and at Laurel, A. L. Grohaning. Marriage Licenses Again Take Slump County Clerk J. M. Backs announces that 266 marriage licenses were issued during March. The first quarter of 1928 ended with a total of 793 licenses issued. The records show that 285 were passed out in January, and 242 in February. The three-day gin marriage law still is cramping the style of the local emporium maintained by Cupid, and his attempted comeback is proving a hard battle. Backs said.

Last year at this time 1177 weddings had been authorized by the bureau here. In March, 1926, the figure was 362, while the records had to be turned back to 1923 to find a number comparable to that just announced for March of this year. In 1923, 275 licenses went over the counter. JUNE BORCHERT MARRIED Miss June Borchert, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Borchert of Garden Grove road, and George Murray Bland, son of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Bland of Berkeley, were married in Oakland on Sunday morning, in the presence of a number of friends. The marriage is the culmination of a romance begun soon after Miss Borchert went to Oakland to become a student in Mills college, where she is now in her third year. The young people plan to continue in school, Mrs. Bland at Mills and Mr. Bland at the University of California, where he is a student. They are at present making their home in Oakland, where they are receiving congratulations and best wishes of many friends. Fine, Santa Ana Register; H.D. Nichols, Villa Park; V.D. Johnson, secretary Orange chamber; Ray Leech, secretary Fullerton chamber; H.E.W.Barnes, second president of show, and William Schureman, Anaheim. George Reid, the guiding genius of the show, concluded the program with a brief talk on plans for the annual display, in which he pointed out that the show is rapidly approaching nationwide significance as the only exclusive display in the United States of Valencia oranges. Newspaper Feast How Burton Sm Natives With Burton Smith of Times was in town with a parcel of burl paper from out there were guests of the elaborate turkey dinner clubhouse. Burton brought his side when the other departed for their evening, he was still like the fabled trawler who having eaten oak lotus tree, would face its side. He remained attended the Kiwi Tuesday as the guest bluth, the local minister of the Chamber of Commerce there was nothing to appetite. When he departed in the afternoon, he go—and we believe promised to come latch-string always Burton, and he and men of the press are Secretary Reld of Commerce is an autumn says the turkey were plumb full of Burt make a great treat From Santa Ana Williams, County Editor Burk, Mr. Fine of the Register Nels Edwards, men Here's a welcome answer to all of you! Come AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, April 5, 1928 NEW DIRECTORS BANQUET Stand by the Board VOTERS of this city should be prepared to go to the polls on Monday and cast their ballots for the re-election of L.E. Miller and A. Curtis Case, and should demand better reasons for opposing them than those which are dictated by personal resentment against the present city administration. Constructive criticism of the course of the board during the past three years is one thing, and criticism dictated by personal resentment is quite another. The city is prospering as never before, and we are recovering nicely from the recession in values occurring three years ago. Previous to 1925, reality values in Anaheim touched their highest point. This is true as well of values throughout Southern California. Values were too high, rents were too high; recession was inevitable. This is the immutable law of all progression. We go ahead too far; then we fall back; then we go ahead further than we were before. These fluctuations have occurred before, and will inevitably recur here as well as in every other community in the land. Prices went sky-high in the "boom," and fortunes were made over night. Then there came the inevitable recession. There was a subsidence in values, a period of depression, and later on values exceeded those even in the paltry days of speculation and fortune hunting. We are recovering nicely from the recession following the inflated values of 1925, and on all hands there is a feeling of optimism and security which makes for the prosperity of the community. We are progressing along with the other communities of the Southland, and are certainly in a most advantageous position with respect to our domestic water supply. We have, indeed, been favored of heaven. The acquisition of the deep water wells from the sugar company brings us a supply of pure water sufficient for a community five or six times our population. Any one of these deep wells yields a sufficient supply for the needs of the entire community. These wells may be multiplied indefinitely, and there is a sufficient supply at hand which may be developed at small U.S.A.

Club, which has We are progressing along with the other communities of the Southland, and are certainly in a most advantageous position with respect to our domestic water supply. We have indeed, been favored of heaven. The acquisition of the deep water wells from the sugar company brings us a supply of pure water sufficient for a community five or six times our population. Any one of these deep wells yields a sufficient supply for the needs of the entire community. These wells may be multiplied indefinitely, and there is a sufficient supply at hand which may be developed at small cost for a city many times our population. This is the one great important item in the future development of the community. We have recently seen other communities defeating large bond issues for water development, and we have seen conflicting interests between communities with respect to water bearing lands coming down to a threatened law suit in the courts. We have seen an epidemic of typhoid and other distemper consequent upon the contamination of the water supply. The recent awful loss of life and property by the breaking of the St. Francis dam; the plight of Hollywood, which fears a collapse of the Mulholland dam; the deplorable conditions in Inyo county, are all results of a great city reaching out in all directions for an increased supply of water for domestic uses. We see communities in the upper valley calmly waiting for water to be brought hitherward from the Colorado river, which in the very nature of things will require years of effort and the expenditure of vast sums of money. Bond issues must be floated, and on all sides there exists a necessity for the raising of large sums of money to the end that water may be supplied for the constantly increasing tide of immigration. Here in Anaheim we have a sufficient water supply not only for our present needs, but for many years to come, at an outlay so insignificant that it seems almost beyond belief. The city administration has done well by the community. There is no community in the state of California so favored, so happily situated with respect to this municipal requirement. Had the trustees done nothing else in the past four years than to give us this magnificent water system, they would be richly entitled to the support of the voters on election day. But as their course has been dictated by sagacity and good judgment in this respect, so has it been in other matters making for the progress and prosperity of the community. They have given us the lowest tax rate in the history of the town; they have saved us money at every turn, and have given the taxpayers value received for every dollar expended by them. They have been careful in signing contracts for supplies, and have kept constantly in view the need of conserving the interests of the people. We have a very fine city park, a Greek theatre for open air assemblies; our streets have been widened and beautified; we have adequate fire protection, low insurance rates, and a police force competent to protect the interests of the community. The board is engaged in installing ornamental lights on residence streets and are setting out shade trees in the parkings. We have a beautiful and progressive city, and are located in the garden spot of California. That there should be criticism here and there of the actions of the board is inevitable, but voters will do well to separate the wheat from the chaff in all these matters. Men who have a personal ax to grind, men who criticise because they want a place for themselves and whose criticism springs from a personal resentment against the board should have very little appeal to the voters. The board has gone steadily forward on its way, giving the city a wise and conservative management of its municipal affairs and doing what in its judgment seemed to be for the best interests of the community. Mr. Miller and Mr. Care have joined with other members of the board in this good work and are entitled to the support of the voters on election day. Such criticism as has been directed toward them seems trivial and insincere. The town is splendidly prosperous; we are recovering nicely from the inflation of three years ago; values are being stabilized, and there is a feeling of optimism prevailing everywhere. Anaheim is fortunate in having such splendid men directing the destinies of the community, and they are deservedly entitled to the support of the people. That they will receive that support at the election, Monday, we have not the slightest doubt. Many Leading Business and Professional Men Sign Paper Endorsing Present Council and Asking Return of Miller and Case; Contest for City Treasurer Overshadowed by Fight; Election Next Monday, April 9 A NEW interest was injected into the city campaign Monday, when it was announced that the U.S.A. Club, which has lain dormant since it closed its headquarters three years ago, following its memorable victory, has awakened from its sleep and this week is taking an active part in the contest. The club was never disbanded, but merely ceased to function for the time, holding its membership still on the rolls, and awaiting the time—should it ever arise—when it would again be called into action and battle in defense of a progressive administration at the city hall. Just how strong the opposition to Councilmen Miller and Case is cannot be determined. It was conceived and is engineered by the remnant of the party which was so decisively defeated three years ago by the people of Anaheim, led by the U.S.A. Club. The ranks of this opposition have been largely recruited by disgruntled persons who are giving voice to personal grievances and loudly proclaiming them as public calamities. The U.S.A. Club is composed of the leading citizens of the city, men and women, who are vitally interested in the town's welfare, and are in full accord with the improvement program outlined by the council and the city planning commission which is now being gradually carried out. This improvement program is the bludgeon now being used to belabor Miller and Case, their efforts to beautify and modernize the city being denominated extravagance. It is the same old battle cry that has been heard here ever since the first attempts were made to keep the city in line with the march of progress, and it was heard in other places long before Anaheim was founded. Every improvement that has been made by the city's board within the memory of the present generation has been carried through over the protests of the element that is always on the negative side. The present city council has not been extravagant. Every dollar that has been spent for improvements was wisely invested. But a charge of extravagance is a popular campaign slogan, and will catch many an unwary voter. An endorsement of Messrs. Miller and Case was in circulation in the business district some days ago, and was numerously signed by leading business and professional men of the city. The preamble read as follows: "Viewing with general satisfaction the record of the present city administration, its ability to lower taxes, increase service to the residents of Anaheim, beautify the community and preserve peace and harmony, and being convinced of the sterling worth of A..." Newspaper Boys Feast on Turkey How Burton Smith Astonished Natives With His Appetite Burton Smith of the Los Angeles Times was in town on Monday evening with a parcel of bright young newspaper men from outlying sections, who were guests of the orange show at an elaborate turkey dinner at the Elks clubhouse. Burton brought his appetite with him, and when the other bright young men departed for their homes, late in the evening, he was still eating. He was like the fabled traveler of the Orient, who having eaten of the fruit of the lotus tree, would fain live forever by its side! He remained over night and attended the Klwanis luncheon on Tuesday as the guest of F. A. Yungbluth, the local millionaire, president of the Chamber of Commerce. Again there was nothing the matter with his appetite. When he departed for his home, late in the afternoon, he said he was sorry to go—and we believe he meant it—and promised to come soon again. The latch-style always hangs out for Burton, and he and the other bright men of the press are always welcome. Secretary Reid of the Chamber of Commerce is an authority on vitamins, and says the turkey and its "fixings" were plumb full of them. George and Burt make a great team. Sure enough! From Santa Ana there came Bry Williams, County Clerk Joe Backs, Editor Burk, Mr. King, and Horace Fine of the Register, and from Orange, Nels Edwards, men of valor, every one! Here's a welcome and a double health to all of you! Come to the orange show, Pupils of Fremont Building Bungalow Miniature Cottage and Furniture to Be Exhibited at Show Amateur carpenters, paper hangers, electricians and decorators, all members of the eight-two class of the Fremont intermediate grammar school, are joining their efforts in preparing a toyland bungalow for the grammar school exhibit in the coming California Valencia Orange Show. Under the direction of Fred Frederickson and T. J. Mellinger, manual training instructors in the Fremont school, and Miss Naomi Williams, art instructor, the boys and girls in this class have practically completed their novel cottage. The building itself was constructed by the manual training class last year and is a replica of a real bungalow, built exactly to scale. The miniature cottage is 39 inches long, 42 inches wide, and a foot high. It comprises a large living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, screen porch and a breakfast nook. All of the walls are to be papered and otherwise decorated, tiny wires are to carry "juice" to miniature electrical fixtures; a large plaster paris fireplace has been made to grace the living room, and a tiny hot water heater for the screen porch. Each room is equipped with furnishings made by the pupils. The house is to be placed in the school exhibit minus its roof, so that visitors may inspect its interior. A small garage, similar in design, will be included in the display, it is said. An endorsement of Messrs. Miller and Case was in circulation in the business district some days ago, and was numerously signed by leading business and professional men of the city. The preamble read as follows: "Viewing with general satisfaction the record of the present city administration, its ability to lower taxes, increase service to the residents of Anaheim, beautify the community and preserve peace and harmony, and being convinced of the sterling worth of A. Curtis Case and L. E. Miller in their positions on the city council, we, undersigned, hereby endorse these two men for re-election and urge upon the voters of Anaheim to keep them in office." The two members of the city council who retire this spring are L. E. Miller and A. Curtis Case, both of them being active workers for the city's welfare. Both are candidates for re-election, and are opposed by George W. Bruns and Jacob Lakeman. Mr. Bruns is a rancher, living on South Palm street, and Mr. Lakeman was formerly in the grocery business, but is now night watchman for the merchants. The holdover members of the board are Mayor Carl Leonard and Councilmen W. D. Grafton and A. W. Franzen. Their terms will expire two years hence. For city clerk, E. B. Merritt is unopposed, but there are three candidates striving for the treasurership. Charles A. Boege, incumbent, is opposed by David Jessurun and Glen Merrill. This contest is also spirited, but is overshadowed by the battle for councilmen. Axup Withdraws From Council Race H. E.' Axup announces his withdrawal from the race for councilman. His withdrawal, however, comes too late to prevent his name being printed on the ballot. He gives his reasons as follows: "This is to announce to the people of Anaheim that I have decided to withdraw from the councilmanic race," ETTE VALUE OF ORANGE COUNTY'S CROPS IN 1927 Richard Crops.....$32,854,852.53 Trudy Crops.....2,122,910.00 Field Crops.....3,815,750.63 Number 26 UET 250 GUESTS TAKES CITY N ATION OF VED AT OUR and ProPaper Encils and Miller and City Treasby Fight; Day, April 9 Miller Well at Cypress Down to 3400 Foot Depth THE Miller well now drilling at Cypress has reached the neighborhood of 3400 feet. The company did not expect to find any showings above this depth and will be surprised if any are encountered within the next two or three hundred feet, it is said. There are gas pockets, said to be vegetable gas, encountered at a lesser depth but, according to information from the Gaddy well, no real oil showings were encountered above 3800 feet. The Gaddy well was located about three-quarters of a mile southwest of the Miller well. The drill for the last several hundred feet has been penetrating very hard formation which is a good indication, according to experienced drillers. They say the best fields lay beneath a cap of several hundred feet of very hard formation. There is no action in either land leasing or selling at present. There is plenty of demand for land, but land owners are intensely interested. Some are afraid to sell or lease and afraid not to at the same time. LADIES END MEET BY ELECTING OFFICERS FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY HOLDS INTERESTING CONVENTION Three-Day Program Brought to Close by Banquet at White Temple Church; More Than 400 Delegates From All Over Southern California Present; Mrs. David Thomas of Los Angeles Re-elected President THE three-day convention of the National Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Los Angeles Presbytery, which Local Lad Wins County Laurels Upholds Honor of Anaheim High In Oratorical Contest Seven Orange county high school students, who had been selected as representatives of their schools, participated in the oratorical contest on the Constitution at Brea on Friday evening, when Tommy Kuchel of Anaheim was declared to be the winner. Earl Lyon of Orange was second, Miss Winifred Barnett of Brea-Olinda third, Miss Isabel Siracusa of Huntingtoh Beach fourth, Miss Martha Spaulding of Santa Ana fifth. The winner receives $25 from the Los Angeles Times, second $15, and third $10. The local lad's success marks the third successive victory for Anaheim high in the yearly contest. Three years ago, Louis Kroeger won the honors, and last year Arthur Groos was victor. The student selected will go to Pasadena on April 20, when he will compete with students from other adjoining districts. The winner of this meeting goes to Los Angeles, where he will meet students from the northern and central parts of California. The winner of this meeting goes to Oklahoma City, where students for the western states will compete. One will be selected to go to Washington for the final meeting. Judges of the supreme court of the United States will render the decision, and President Coolidge and other notables will be present. Seven students will compete, and each will be given a trip to Europe by the Times, which is arranging the competition. Students competing at the county meet and their subjects were as follows: Thomas Kuchel, Anaheim, "The Living Constitution." Earl Lyon, Orange, "The Individual and the Constitution." Miss Winifred Barnett, Brea, "The Development of the Constitution." Miss Isabel Siracusa, Huntington Beach, "Sources of the Constitution." Miss Martha Spaulding, "The Ideale of the Constitution." Miss Evalyn Parks, Garden Grove, "The Modern Significance of the Constitution." Three-Day Program Brought to Close by Banquet at White Temple Church; More Than 400 Delegates From All Over Southern California Present; Mrs. David Thomas of Los Angeles Re-elected President THE three-day convention of the National Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Los Angeles Presbyterian churches in Southern California, was brought to a close Friday night with a banquet at the White Temple Methodist church. The convention was held at the White Temple because the auditorium of the Presbyterian church was not large enough to accommodate the several hundred delegates in attendance, but both churches were used during the progress of the meeting. More than forty years ago the society had its birth in Anaheim, and Mrs. F. M. Robinson of this city was its first president. Mrs. Robinson now resides in Pasadena, and she was the honored guest at this convention. She made an address reciting the early history of the society. Officers for the coming year were chosen at the windup of the work Friday afternoon. Mrs. David Thomas of Los Angeles was re-elected president. Mrs. R. W. Cleland, of Huntington Park, was named honorary president, and the following district vice-presidents were elected: Mrs. J. P. Ward, of Los Angeles, central; Mrs. F. W. Mitchell, Los Angeles, southern; Mrs. J. Hudson Ballard, Huntington Park; Mrs. J. P. Graham, Glendale-Pasadena; Mrs. C. R. Broadhead, valley; Mrs. J. G. Klene, Long Beach; Mrs. R. W. Jones of Orange, Orange county, and Mrs. Carl Johnson, San Diego. Other officers elected at the annual election are as follows: Miss Lilly A. Hawk, of Pasadena, recording secretary; Mrs. C. Allison, of Eagle Rock, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Martha Klingan, secretary for national missions; Dr. Isabel Crowell, of Alhambra, secretary for foreign missions; Mrs. F. A. H. Fish and Miss Edith Bracken, both of Pasadena, assistants to Dr. Crowell; Mrs. Thomas H. Walker, of Anaheim, secretary of missionary education and literature; her assistants being Mrs. Ida, L. Hax, Mrs. James G. Robertson, Mrs. Lulu P. Currey, Mrs. C. H. Mitchell, Mrs. Arthur Fulwood, Mrs. G. W. Wright, Miss Mary Mills, and Mrs. T. A. Herndon, all of Los Angeles. Following the election, formal installation rites were held, conducted by the Rev. D. L. Macquarrie, with the re-elected president presenting a challenging address on "Entering Into Wilder Paths of Service." Miss Louise Hayes, of Pyeng Yang, Chosen, gave an address on "The Power of God Man Manifested in Chisen," and the Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the Anaheim Presbyterian church, had charged a special communion service. Miss Sophie Rimpau, Owner, Sells to P. A. Robinson It is announced that Miss Sophie Rimpau, who recently became the owner of the Knight of Pythias temple on West Center street by the foreclosure of two mortgages totaling, with the accumulated interest, nearly $60,000, has sold the property to P. A. Robinson of Santa Ana. The consideration is not made public. This building, a three story structure, was built by the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, about five years ago, the cost being close to $90,000. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. Besides the spacious quarters for the K. P. Lodge and the Uniform Rank, its ground floor was constructed for a business room, and is occupied by the M. W. Martenet hardware store. The new owner announces that he expects to make some extensive changes in the structure, but the lodges will retain their quarters and the hardware store will not be disturbed.
