Business Conditions Continue to Improve General business conditions continue to improve throughout the United States. This is the finding of C. W. Churchill, general sales manager of the Buick Motor Company, who has just returned to the factory after an extensive trip gathering first-hand information in various sections of the country. Mr. Churchill gave some highlights of his survey. George P. Howard is a Orange county dealer, said that the Buick sales chief produced a period of vigorous activity for the national industry and continuation of the increase in sales demand that has been glittering for several weeks. The increase in production is proof of Mr. Churchill's faith in his views. "As every manufacturer of automobiles knows, the demand for his products is determined by general business, industrial, agricultural, and horticultural, over the country as a whole." The increased production schedules announced by Buick reflect a quickening of business pulse which began to be felt after the first of the year and which careful surveys indicate, is becoming general. Mr. Churchill, who is one of the foremost sales executives of the country, visited Buick dealers in various sections of the country, compiling data which affect the market for Buick. His findings that there is a sound improvement in conditions, with every promise of continuation, is as cheerful as it is authoritative. "That the observations of Mr. Churchill bring confidence to the Buick Motor Company is shown by the setting of a monthly production schedule of more than 18,000 units for the spring and summer months."

He was born in Ohio and served through the Civil war in the Fourteenth Iowa Helicopter Infantry. Separatists Indulge In New Pipe Dream Have Stunt for Dividing Orange and Los Angeles Counties Formation of three or possibly four counties out of the area now comprising Los Angeles and Orange counties is being talked in various parts of the two counties involved, particularly in some of the southern sections of Orange county. According to this plan, all of the coast section of this county from Seal Beach to San Clemntele, and Long Beach would form a new county, and whether Santa Ana would be included therein or in a county to the north, is said to be uncertain. The following, taken from the Long Beach Press-Telegram, is believed to represent what agitators are thinking those days: "Will three counties develop within the next two or three years out of the present Los Angeles and Orange counties? "Observers say that the plan of Mayor Cryer of Los Angeles to consolidate the city and county government there, is likely to bring about another plan, talked of more or less in recent months, whereby Orange county would be split into two counties, or parts of two. "Before Los Angeles city and county could adopt the consolidation plan, it is said that parts of that county, possibly Long Beach and the rural parts distant from the city, might secede. This would make it possible, if not probably, that the coast section of Orange county would form a new county, including Long Beach and possibly Santa Ana." "The northern part of Orange county would, under that plan, go into a new county composed of the northeastern parts of the present Los Angeles county, with a place like Pomona or Fullerton as the county seat. "The coast section of Orange county, it is said, has several problems, such as harbor development, high schools and junior colleges, which it is believed in some quarters would be more easily" Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P. ROBISON) About two hundred attended the meeting of the Fourth district Parent-Teacher Association at Buena Park grammar school Saturday. In the morning business meeting Mrs. Neil Beisel of Santa Ana was elected president; Mrs. Fay Spangler, vice-president; Mrs. A. C. Pickering, recording secretary; Mrs. F. L. Benson, Anaheim, recording secretary; Mrs. W. L. Holve, Fullerton, financial secretary, and Mrs. Charles Swinfest, Anaheim, auditor. Addresses were given by E. D. Price of Pasadena, and Dean W. T. Boyce of Fullerton junior college. During the luncheon which was served by the Buena Park Parent-Teacher Association, the Orangethorpe orchestra furnished music and Miss Carol Battelle several readings for the visitors' entertainment. In the afternoon, Mrs. Ercel McPee, state chairman of visual instruction, presented some pictures first a comedy, then a picture of Lindbergh's interesting travels. A bounteous covered "dish luncheon was enjoyed by the Ladies' Aid and Missionary Society," Thursday. The Ladies' Aid reported that the $1000 pledged to the new church was ready to be turned over to the fund for the new building. Miss Ida Gumfory, who has made the home of her uncle, H. H. Haggart her headquarters, from which she made many trips to other parts of the state, during the past two years, was given a surprise wellfare party Friday evening. Miss Gumfory left Tuesday for her home in Stonebore, Pa. Mr. and Mrs. Claud Porter and son Lee, and Mr. Marion Porter were Monday evening guests of Mr. and Mrs J. B. Robison, Mr. and Mrs. Porter have recently moved into their new home near Placentia. Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Robeson and daughter Virginia, and son Lawrence visited Mr. and Mrs E. E.

His subject "Dahlia Growing." is of special interest Roscoe Ingram's apartments, on South Olive Street, were ransacked by burglar Sunday night, but nothing was taken by the thieves. They were probably looking only for money, but failed to locate the place where it was kept. Judge E. T. Langley, for many years one of Santa Ana's most prominent citizens, died at his home Sunday, at the age of 85. Judge Langley was a practicing attorney for many years. He was born in Ohio and served through the Civil war in the Fourteenth Iowa Volunteer Infantry. Mayor Carl Leonard and wife left Thursday for New York, where they will board a steamer for Europe on the twentieth. They are going on a visit to their daughter, Frances, who is studying music in Paris, and expect to be absent three months. Ross Millhouse demanded $255.15 damages against the Motor Transit Company and other defendants because a stage, he claims, struck his automobile while it was parked on Lemon street, near Center, on December 1, 1926. Repairs required on the car, and loss of its use for a period of time, were made the basis of the damage claim. The Brea Lions entertained the several Lions clubs of the county Monday night. Victor Loly, president of the Anaheim council, presided at the meeting. It was voted that twenty boxes of oranges be contributed toward the shipment to be sent to the national convention of Lions, which will be held at Des Moines July 10 to 13. An appeal from the Anaheim Justice court, was entered in superior court Monday, in which Ross Millhouse asks damages of $255.15 from the Motor Transit Company and others as a result of an automobile accident in 1926. Mill-house won the case against the company in the lower court and the defendant appealed. Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Blanchette of Boston were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Backs and family, whom they met on their recent tour of Europe. The doctor and his wife have been three months in California, and are touring the coast in their new automobile. He used to think there was no place like Boston, but after spending the winter here, enjoying the glorious climate and marveling at the magnificent orange orchards on every hand, he has quite forgotten about his eastern home is a good prospect for a permanent resident. He is considering the purchase of a fine orange orchard. This would make it possible, if not probably, that the coast section of Orange county would form a new county, including Long Beach and possibly Santa Ana. "The northern part of Orange county would, under that plan, go into a new county composed of the northeastern parts of the present Los Angeles county, with a place like Pomona or Fullerton as the county seat." "The coast section of Orange county, it is said, has several problems, such as harbor development, high schools and junior colleges, which it is believed in some quarters would be more easily and quickly solved were a new county organized, with Long Beach and possibly Santa Ana included, as well as the coast strip running to the San Diego county line. "It is stated by those who have broached this plan that a new lineup with three or perhaps four counties taking the place of the present two, Los Angeles and Orange, would be more satisfactory for every part of both than the present situation." Revoke Licenses For Intoxication Net results of the Division of Motor Vehicles' drive against intoxicated drivers for the first three months of 1928, made public here today, show 80 persons lost their licenses for this offense during the period. Declaring that there will be no let-up in the campaign until this evil has been permanently abated, Frank G. Snook, chief of the division, urged the traffic officers to redouble their efforts to drive this criminal from the highways. "Take no chances with any person who obviously has been drinking heavily," he said, "and under no circumstances should such persons be allowed to proceed with their cars in such a condition. The intoxicated driver is the most dangerous person on the highways today." The extent of the evil was shown by Snook in the figures showing that the revocations for the three months' period for driving while intoxicated comprises more than half of the revocations for all offenses, the grand total being 148. Of the 49 persons who lost their right to drive for one year during March, 31 were charged with driving while drunk. 13 Burglaries in County Cleaned Up Thirteen burglaries in Orange county have been cleared up with the arrest of four Anaheim boys, whose range from 14 to 16 years, it was announced by Chief J. S. Martin. One of the boys, who admitted burglarizing seven homes by himself, was taken to the county detention home, and the other three were released to their parents pending a more complete investigation. Ten of the thefts were committed in Anaheim, two in Fullerton, and one on This would make it possible, if not probably, that the coast section of Orange county would form a new county, including Long Beach and possibly Santa Ana. "The northern part of Orange county would, under that plan, go into a new county composed of the northeastern parts of the present Los Angeles county, with a place like Pomona or Fullerton as the county seat."

According to well informed authorities in the automobile industry, there has been a tremendous change in driving conditions since 1926. While it has been proved that most Americans do not believe in Santa Claus after the average age of six years, yet millions of American car owners believe the statements made by ambitious automobile salesmen that 'the lil' bus is only filling when she's hitten' 70 and if you could only find a road, she'd make the speedometer dizzy. In most cases the cars will do it, and the car owner accepts the salesman's challenge with glees. It is estimated that the average speed on the open road is from 10 to 15 miles an hour higher than two years ago. Then an average speed of from 25 to 35 miles an hour was taking a slap at Twentieth Century Limited, but now an average speed of from 35 to 50 miles is as common as bootleggers in Rolls-Royce. County Cleaned Up Thirteen burglaries in Orange county have been cleared up with the arrest of four Anaheim boys, whose ages range from 14 to 16 years, it was announced by Chief J. S. Martin. One of the boys, who admitted burglarizing seven homes by himself, was taken to the county detention home, and the other three were released to their parents pending a more complete investigation. Ten of the thefts were committed in Anaheim, two in Fullerton, and one on the Irvine ranch. The boys were arrested after Anaheim officers secured a tip through articles pawned by the youths. Elks from many parts of Orange county to the number of 200 gathered in the clubhouse of the Anaheim lodge Friday night to greet W. E. Simpson, president of the California State Elke's Association on the occasion of his first official visit to Orange county. Members of the Santa Ana and Orange lodges, including the full staffs of officers from both these lodges, were special guests of the Anaheim herd for the occasion. Harry D. Riley, exalted ruler of the Anaheim lodge, presided. Musical numbers included songs by Thomas Askin, of Fullerton, and cello selections by F. W. Burns, of Anaheim. Lester Slaback, 16, of Anaheim, asks $20,222.50 damages in a lawsuit launched Monday against Victor L. David and the Superior Wheeler Cake Company, asserting that a truck driven by David collided with his motorcycle on February 4, breaking three of his ribs and driving one of the bones through his lung. The suit was filed by A. A. Slaback, Anaheim grocery acting as guardian. The accident occurred at the intersection of Spadra road and Orange-thorpe avenue, according to the complaint. David is alleged to have been an employee of the company named as defendant. It may develop, by the time the two national conventions roll around that some of the candidates who thought they were running, were standing still. statements made by ambitious automobile salesmen that 'the ill bus is only idling when she's hitin' 70 and if you could only find a road, she'd make the speedometer dizzy. In most cases the cars will do it, and the car owner accepts the salesman's challenge with glee. It is estimated that the average speed on the open road is from 10 to 15 miles an hour higher than two years ago. Then an average speed of from 25 to 35 miles an hour was taking a slap at the Twentieth Century Limited, but now an average speed of from 35 to 50 miles is as common as bootleggers in Rolls-Roycees. Tire users are now experiencing, and probably will continue to experience in the future, a wide variation in tire performance, regardless of make or size. It is a very common thing to find a car owner who is having trouble with his tires say that the tires today are bunk; they don't run uniform; they only give from 8000 to 10,000 miles, where he used to get from 15,000 to 20,000; that tires are as bad as razor blades, and that a 20,000-mile tire is as rare as clean overalls on a garage man. Twenty thousand-mile tires are rare, but India has a tire with that guarantee. Call at West Brothers, your local distributor, for details. CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING The necessity for co-operative marketing is being learned early in life by members of the 4-H agricultural clubs. Several boys in the Yorba Linda Club are each raising a few pigeons or rabbits, not enough to interest any buyer. However, by uniting their product, a definite quantity of rabbit meat or squabs can be put on the market regularly and a sale obtained. The local assistant leader, A. G. Moritz, is developing this plan, and it is his thought that the other 4-H clubs of the county may find it advisable to co-operate with the Yorba Linda Club for better marketing. A number of "liberal" Americans have gone to Russia and then come back to tell us how fine it is over there. But you will notice that they always come back. Rancher Stricken In Banquet Hall John McSweeney Successes to Heart Failure at K. C. Dinner John McSweeney, a west side rancher, was stricken with an attack of heart failure while attending the Knights of Columbus banquet at the Elks Club Sunday night. He was carried into an antiretroon and soon revived under the care of a physician. Apparently fully recovered, he walked about the hall, talking to his associates for a time, but was again attacked. He attempted to seat himself on a chair, but fell to the floor dead. Mr. McSweeney was 60 years of age. He and his brother, James, owned a chicken ranch at Ball road and Stanton avenue. He was unmarried, and leaves besides his brother a sister, Mrs. Patrick Murphy of San Francisco. The body was taken to Backs, Terry & Camnell's parlors, and on Tuesday was taken to San Francisco for burial. The brother, James McSweeney, accompanied it. Mr. McSweeney was born in Ireland, but has resided in the United States 27 years. Penner Transplatner Proving Successful By E. E. EASTMAN Assistant Farm Advisor A standard make of transplanter was greatly improved by extending the cutter shoe about four inches to the rear and adding short wings' to the upper part of the cutter shoe. These additions hold the soil back from the cut so that more time is secured in which to set the pepper plants in the watered area. The transplanter, improved in this manner, is being used first on the ranch of George A. Harding, one-half mile south of Bolsa. Mr. Harding and his associates, who own the transplanter, were very much pleased with the efficiency of the machine and the satisfactory setting of the plants. The transplanter moved across the field at about the same rate. GOOD WAY TO CURB CRIME There is a definite national need for law simplification, particularly in criminal statutes. At present there is so much legal chaos attached to criminal cases that justice is delayed, or defeated. So rapid has been our civic state and national growth that laws effective and valuable a comparatively few years ago are now entirely impractical. Yet little effort is made to correct them. The legal system of the British empire is more accurate and immediate, with the result that a high percentage of criminals are caught and convicted and crime is discouraged. A simple, but complete criminal code that is unhampered by "legal" loopholes will do more to discourage crime than a thousand anti-revolver laws and ordinances which merely restrict the law-abiding citizen to the safety and advantage of the crook. No one objects to curbing the criminal, but there is widespread objection to continually bearing down harder on the honest man or woman. A wealthy eastern woman marries her butler. Well, that is one way to cut down expenses. back east excursions for use starting May 22 Return limit October 31 Reduced fare round trip tickets everywhere ST.
