This applies also to the distribution of handbills, dodgers, free samples, or advertising matter of any kind. This is the substance of Ordinance No. 522, passed by the city council Thursday night. The ordinance heretofore in force, adopted some months ago, fixed the license fee at $10 per day; but this, apparently, did not put an end to the nuisance, as shopping guides; from neighboring cities were found early in the morning by householders once or twice a week. Other advertising matter, also, was scattered promiscuously in the residential districts. The council authorized the purchase of a 400-horsepower gas engine as a standby unit for the power house, the cost of which is $27,500. Before action was taken, a warm discussion was heard between J. W. Ragd, representing the Cooper Gas Engine Company, and M. R. Licklighter of the Southern California Edison Company. But Mr. Reed won in the debate. He declared that the city was really getting the engine for nothing, as it was obligated only to pay for it out of the money saved in using gas instead of electricity. Under the terms of the contract, the Cooper company is to install the engine and to receive in annual payments, not to exceed $27,500, the amount represented in a savings between the cost of operation of the engine and the amount which would be paid by the city to the Southern California Edison Company for the same power service. The city to be the judge of the factors entering into the savings and to determine the amount of the savings. If the plant fails to effect a saving to the city, the city will not pay anything for the engine. The city is empowered to operate the plant at all times, except when it is necessary to shut down for repairs, or whenever it can show the operation of the plant would result in a loss to the city. At any time the city shall have paid a total of $27,509 over a period of annual payments, the engine shall become the property of the city. At the end of 10 years, regardless of what amount the city has paid less than the stipulated purchase price, the Cooper company agrees to give the city a bill of sale on the engine. Reports of the city treasurer and city clerk show a balance of $211,$39.89 in the meeting to succeed H. D. Riley, resigned because of other pressing duties, presided. Reporting for a committee appointed for the purpose, Miss E. Kate Rea disclosed the number of handicapped boys and girls indicated and also that there are a number who are being deprived of educational advantages by reason of their inability to attend school. Miss Rea asserted that investigations also had brought out the information that operation of a law for private instruction to such underprivileged children was little understood as a general thing. Plans were discussed for further investigations and for arranging some plan by which individual instructions might be given some seventeen afflicted children. Two Names Added To Show Committee Fred Backs and Jacob Lakeman on Executive Committee The executive committee of the California Valencia Orange Show was completed at a meeting Thursday night by the election of Jacob Lakeman, new councilman-elect, and Fred A.

A Curtis Case then retired, after thankking the old members for their courteous treatment and congratulating Mr. Lakeman on his election. The city clerk then administered the oath to Mr. Miller and Mr. Lakeman and called the new board to order. L. E. Miller was then nominated for mayor to serve during the absence in Europe of Mayor Carl Leonard, and he was unanimously elected. Mayor Miller immediately announced appointment of the following standing committee: Finance, Leonard, Miller and Lakeman; public improvements, Grafton, Franzen and Leonard; ordinance, Lakeman, Grafton, and Miller; police, light and water, Franzen, Leonard, and Grafton.

ENTERTAINS VISITORS FROM MANY CITIES TWENTY-SEVEN INITIATES TAKE THIRD DEGREE OF ORDER SUNDAY Representatives From Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Hollywood, Whittier, Pomona, and Ontario Present; Day's Program Ends With Banquet at Elks' Clubhouse, Where Interesting Program Was Presented KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS from many cities in Southern California gathered in Anaheim Sunday and spent the Junior College Legal Phases Are Explained FORMATION of a northern Orange county Junior college appeared a definite prospect as a result of favorable consideration of the matter at a meeting held in the Fullerton Union high school cafeteria, attended by representatives of Anaheim, Brea-Olinda, and Fullerton Union high schools. In a detailed explanation of the law governing the formation of a union junior college district where one district already has an established institution, Principal Louis E. Plummer of Fullerton pointed out that the initiative in the matter must be taken by the outside districts. It will be necessary for a petition signed by more than 50 per cent of the electors of the Anaheim union and Brea-Olinda districts to be signed and presented in addition to the approval of the school boards of each district before the matter can be settled. The county school superintendent must also approve the plan. Upon hearing to with much interest the Kiwanians HEAR DISCOURSE ON ALASKA PIONEER OF FAR NORTH-LAND SPEAKS TO CLUB, ALSO AT HIGH SCHOOL Paints Glowing Picture of Our Vast and Little Known Territory in North, Declaring It Equal to Our Middle West in Agricultural Possibilities; Airplane Service Will Bring It Within Reach in Two Days DISSERTATION on Alaska, by P. R. Ritchie, a pioneer of the far north country, was listened to with much interest by the Kiwanians at their noon- Representatives From Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Hollywood, Whittier, Pomona, and Ontario Present; Day's Program Ends With Banquet at Elks' Clubhouse, Where Interesting Program Was Presented KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS from many cities in Southern California gathered in Anaheim Sunday and spent the entire day in session at the Knights of Columbus hall, the day's activities closing with a banquet at the Elks' clubhous. Many of the wives and mothers of members were present at this banquet. The occasion of the meeting was the initiation, or the induction of twenty-seven candidates into the third degree. This ceremony took place in the lodge room during the day session. Five of the newly-pledged members were Anaheimers, the balance belonging at Santa Ana, Pomona, Ontario, and Whittier. The initiation of the new members was directed by the Los Angeles district degree team, led by District Deputy Benno Brink and Patrick J. Cooney. Following the initiation, Mr. Cooney made an address welcome to the new members, pointing out to them their duties to their country to their God. He condemned the attempt to inject religion into national politics, and also called universities for permitting anti-religious doctrines to be taught. He recalled the fact that the Declaration of Independence was not written by Catholics, but by Protestants who had profitted by the lessons learned in Europe, and who decreed that no religious tests should be required by any candidate for political office. A. J. Blank of Ontario responded for the new members, declaring that it was an honor to belong to such an order, and pledging all the newly-elected to loyalty to the lodge and to the officers. Victor Gillbaugh of Hollywood announced that the state convention of the Knights of Columbus would be held in Hollywood, May 20 to 23, and asked the support of all members of the southern councils in staging it. At the banquet Walter Volkmer, grand knight of Whittier council, acting as toastmaster, introduced the speakers and a number of distinguished guests, including George V. Blake of Los Angeles, N. J. Stechly, Anaheim, district deputy of this district; William Maag, grand knight of Santa Ana council; George Rice, grand knight of Anaheim council; Dr. V. A. Rossiter, past district deputy of the twenty-seventh district; Joseph Beckerle, grand knight of Ontario council; Jack Gaines of Hollywood, and R. J. Herzig, district deputy of the twenty-eighth district. Benno Brink, deputy district grand knight of Los Angeles, was one of the speakers and abjured the members' loyalty support their leaders, as only I think manner could the order be a success. Seiersen Resigns From Managership Gives Up His Post With Building and Loan Association At a meeting of Stockholders of the Anaheim Building and Loan Association Monday night, S. P. Seiersen, who has been secretary and manager since the organization of the association, nearly five years ago, tendered his resignation, stating that he was engaging in other business. The remarkable growth and expansion of this association was due in a great measure to him. After accepting Mr. Seiersen's resignation, the stockholders elected O. A. Ingram manager and Forrest Fowler, secretary. Mr. Ingram has been a director since the organization of the company. He was formerly a resident of Anaheim, but for many years has been engaged in the mercantile business in Arizona. He will move back to this city. Mr. Fowler has for a number of years been associated with A. E. Hargrove in the real estate and insurance business, but recently sold his interest in the business to his partner, in order to be free to give his attention to the new position. Two new directors were added to the board at this meeting. They are Supervisor William Schumacher of Buena Park and S. W. Fodd, manager of the Industrial Fuel Company. The other directors and officers are William Stark, president; William Falkenstein, first vice-president; F. A. Yungbluth, second vice-president; Fred Koesel, and D. A. H. Domann of Orange. The association now has a paid-up capital of $100,000, and is doing a thriving business. William H. Eadle of San Bernardino certified public accountant, who one district already has an established institution. Principal Louis E. Plummer of Fullerton pointed out that the initiative in the matter must be taken by the outside districts. It will be necessary for a petition signed by more than 50 per cent of the electors of the Anaheim union and Brea-Olinda districts to be signed and presented in addition to the approval of the school boards of each district before the matter can be settled. The county school superintendent must also approve the plan. Upon completion of the merging of the two districts with the Fullerton district it would automatically become necessary for the union district to select a board of junior college trustees. Prior to the formation of the union district the high school trustees would control the Junior college under the present district plan. The union district would be required to elect the board from its entirety. Agricultural possibilities of Alaska, Mr. Ritchie said, equal those of Middle West, but people in the United States generally, are ignorant of this. In addition to this, its mineral wealth is incalculable, but so far has only been touched. "Thirty years ago, when I went to the Klondike, it took me six months to make the journey," said Mr. Ritchie. "You can now get there in six days from Seattle, and this month we have started a regular passenger aerial line with 16 passenger airplanes which will fly on schedule time between Los Angeles and Seattle in 12 hours, and it is only another day's hop to the center of Alaska." "Hundreds of millions in gold have been taken out of Alaska and Yukon, and the country has only been scratch-ed. The three big gold camps of Alaska and Yukon—Klondike, Nome and Fairbanks—from each of which more than $200,000,000 have been taken were discovered in the short space of eight years because 30,000 prospectors were spread over the country at that time." "A river draining 1000 square miles at the head of which was a lake 22 miles long, never known to exist before, was discovered only last summer." "The they are making discoveries in Alaska by aerial survey never dreamed of before." To you young men who have the spirit of adventure, who love the big open spaces, the great outdoors, there is no more interesting vocation than that of the geologist, the prospector, the mining engineer. No other vocation brings one so close to nature or makes the world more interesting. There is only one other lure or fever I know of like gold prospecting—that is love of a lad for a lace. Prospecting and pioneering is now a pleasure compared to what it was in the day of '49 or days of '88. The radio is taking the music of the world and the latest news up to that far northland just as quick as we see our distribution! Dr. E.

Eadie of San Bernardino, certified public accountant, who has just completed an examination of the company's affairs, reported everything in perfect shape, and made an address on "The Building and Loan Association and Its Purposes." He stated that the public is rapidly becoming acquainted with the building and loan idea and with the high degree of security that is guaranteed building and loan operations by the state government, with the result that most of them are showing remarkable growth.

SENIORS SHOW TALENT IN PLAY CROWDED HOUSE GREETS PLAYERS SECOND NIGHT OF PERFORMANCE "Secret Service," a Story of the Confederacy During the Civil War, Given at Auditorium; Difficult Play for Amateurs, but Staged Without a Flaw; Hoop Skirts and Uniforms of War Period Worn by Cast ONE of the most interesting and best enacted plays ever presented by high school students was the senior class play Many Will Contest For Championship World's Most Expert Packers to Enter Race at Orange Show Rules governing the second annual World's Championship Orange Packing contest, an event which attracted nation-wide attention when it was introduced at last year's California Valencia Orange Show at Anaheim, were adopted at a meeting of the committee in charge of this year's contest, held this week at Anaheim. Minor changes were made in the rules, which will be printed in circular form and mailed to fruit packers throughout California, Arizona, Mexico, and Florida. The contest is open to all packing houses in the world. Each packing house is entitled to enter a team of two packers. Judging will be on the basis of speed and quality and neatness of pack. Added interest will be given this year's contest, to be staged during the eighth annual California Valencia Orange Show, May 24 to June 3, through the fact that the Red Fox Orchards packing house at Orange will be called upon to defend the Los Angeles Evening Express silver trophy won by the team from that house last year. The cup must be won three successive times to be retained permanently, according to the regulations applying to its donation. Another handsome silver trophy will be awarded the team winning the world's championship orange packing contest, now held by Miss Marjorie Richards and Miss Eva Christensen, both of Orange, and Miss Richards will defend her world championship individual orange packing trophy. Substantial awards also will go to winners of the packing contests. Mapes Gets Sentence Of Two Years in Jail Harry C. Mapes, former Anaheim "Secret Service," a Story of the Confederacy During the Civil War, Given at Auditorium; Difficult Play for Amateurs, but Staged Without a Flaw; Hoop Skirts and Uniforms of War Period Worn by Cast ONE of the most interesting and best enacted plays ever presented by high school students was the senior class play put on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The characters, under the coaching of Miss Lucille Rickley, dramatic instructor, were admirably sustained; and apparently there were no weak spots in the entire cast. "Secret Service," the play selected, was quite popular on the stage for many years in former times. It is a story of the Confederacy in its last stand, during the Civil war, at the siege of Richmond. It was an ambitious undertaking for amateurs, and the way it was presented reflected credit not only on the actors, but on the teachers who coached them. The principal characters were: Lewis Dumont, of the United States secret service, known in Richmond at Captain Thorne, Francis Bushard; Edith, daughter of the Confederate General Varney, Dumont's betrothed, Annette Wire; Mrs. General Varney, mother of Edith, Martha Adams; Wilfred Varney, son of the general, Gus Lenain; Caroline Mitford, a neighbor, Hazel Filter; Benton Arrelsford, of the Confederate secret service, Robert Jensen; Henry Dumont, brother of the hero, also of the United States secret service, Dick Lusk; Lieut. Maxwell of the Confederate army, John Eley; General Nelson Randolph, commanding officer of the Confederate forces in Richmond, Thomas Kuchel; Lleut. Faray, Lloyd Rihtceler and Lleut. Allison, Adam Lehr, operators of the military telegraph department; Miss Kittridge, sewing for the hospitals, Elizabeth Dickerson; Martha, negro house servant, Ethel Phillips; Jonas, negro house servant, Walter Taylor; Ray Chamberlin, Elvin Recknor, Jack Browne, Donald Eisenhauer, Kenneth Clapp, and Edward Bonkosky assisted as soldiers, messengers, orderlies and officers. At Tuesday night's performance the three leading female characters were changed in order to give others an opportunity to show their histrionic talent. Faye Hunton took the part of Edith, the heroine; Roberta Eley, the part of Mrs. Varney, and Margaret Collins played Caroline Mitford. The staggy setting was under the management of Miss Madeline Conover and she was assisted by Herman Lenz manager; Floyd Lakeman assistant manager; William Waite, electrician; James Skinner, assistant electrician; Earl Yonker, property man; Joe Wallin, assistant property man; Herman Schafer, Wilbert Zahl, Robert Squier, Britta Price and Arthur Clodt, stager; Ellen Poyet, Dorothy Kopfer; Mae Bingham and Charlotte Bingham, costar and Mae Bingham. Mapes Gets Sentence Of Two Years in Jail Harry C. Mapes, former Anaheim automobile salesman, whose real name is Paul McBride, according to his own confession, must pay a penalty for embezzling a car from J. W. Schwab and Thomas McKeechan. Mapes conceived the theft and asked for probation. Judge Allen placed him under five years' probation, but the first two years of it must be spent in the Orange county jail. Under the name of Mapes he married an Anaheim girl, but admits he had a wife and two children in Oregon. He doesn't know whether or not his wife divorced him. Besides the name of Mapes, he also has used the names Harry Taft and E. O. Berg, the defendant said. The car which he has admitted stealing was registered under the name of Berg, he said. According to the testimony of Schwab and McKeechan, Mapes said he had sold the car to Berg. The corporation, they said, lacked the necessary money with which to secure the car for delivery. McKeechan declared that he put up the money, that Mapes got the car, and that he did not know when he disappeared with it. FOUR-FOURS CLUB Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs entertained the Four-Fours Club at dinner and cards on Thursday evening. A 7 o'clock dinner was enjoyed at a local cafe, after which the evening was devoted to the usual game of whist at the Backs home. Prizes were won by Mrs. Ralph McFadden and A. B. McCord. Mr. and Mrs. McCord will entertain at the next meeting. NEW SANTA FE TRAIN The Santa Fe has added a new local train to its service, the first being run last Sunday.
