He was in a car driven by Oscar Pelton, of Alhambra, and lost his life when the machine skidded and crashed into a telephone pole by the side of the road. He was crushed between the car and the pole. Mrs. Melburn and Mrs. W Frankfurt were other passengers in the car and were hurt. They were removed to the Memorial hospital at Whittier in ambulances from Fullerton. Pelton was able to leave the hospital Monday, but the women were so badly hurt they had to remain in the institution. Hospital authorities said the women did not receive fatal injuries. Melburn died on the way to the hospital and his body is at a merger at Whittier. It was found the accident occurred when Pelton attempted to pass a car on the state highway. Pelton is being held in the county jail for investigation.

Elsbach, who is developing this unusual island colony in Newport Bay. The social calendar for last week at the Lido Isle Yacht club included a convention of the Southern California Exchange clubs, an afternoon and evening party held by the Women's Committee of the American Bankers' Institute and two afternoon affairs given by the Eastern Star of Beverly Hills and of Pasadena. The excellent facilities of the Lido Isle Yacht club have been commended by those who have entertained there. The clubhouse requires little decorating and the variety of amusements, ranging from water sports to tea, cards, dinner and dancing, simplifies the problem of the host or hostess. Favorite hours for parties are from early afternoon until midnight. Arrangements for speedboat transportation to the island for large groups are made through any of the Lido Isle offices, Elsbach explained. The fourth of the series of gala programs of sports, fashions and Mediterranean music will be held this Sunday. This is in keeping with the Lido Isle policy of a splendid entertainment each week on the day most convenient to the many thousands who wish to visit this unique island development.

County’s Share of State School Fund Increase of $45,000 Over Apportionment For Previous Year In the state’s apportionment of school funds for the next fiscal year Orange county receives $457,286.73 for its elementary schools and $140,116 for the high schools. According to County Auditor W. C. Jerome the elementary figure for last year was $424,237.37. This would place the total for this year $33,049.36 above that of the preceding year. The high school appropriation last year was $128,591.98. This year's income from the state will exceed this figure by $11,524.02. The estimate one Orange county's school income from the state was made by Walter E. Morgan, districtist of the California state department of education, based on the daily average attendance of schools in the county. Preliminary figures released by Morgan reveal that the average daily attendance in the local year June 1927 to 1928 in Orange county was 18,963 as compared with 14,773 during a like period last year, in the elementary schools. The attendance at the high schools of the county was 4502 as compared to 1276 the previous year. A new high record in the history of California was reached this year in attendance. Exclusive of the four-year colleges, special schools and universities, the attendance reached the grand total of 833,508, which is an increase of more than 50,000 in the number of pupils attending public schools. The greatest growth was in junior colleges, of which there were 13 in the state last year, as compared with ten during the preceding year. The total junior college attendance increased over 50 per cent in one year. The increases in the elementary and high school attendances are the greatest Boring Matches Growing Popular Excellent Exhibitions Given at Concordia Club Monday Evenings Boxing matches each Monday night down at the Concordia club, under the management of the Anaheim Athletic association, are becoming more popular each week.

Also Dan Sancedo of Anaheim, and Phil Mahoney of Whittier. The last is Little Joe of Placentia vs. Young Kogo of Los Angeles. These bantams fight at 108 pounds. May Find Remedy For the Black Scale Possibilities that the black scale, a pest that costs the olive and citrus growers of the state hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for control and between two and three million dollars annually from fruit destroyed, may be effectively combatted by the introduction of insect enemies of the parasite, are suggested in a preliminary report The fourth of the series of gala programs of sports, fashions and Mediterranean music will be held this Sunday.

St. Houston? A new high record in the history of California was reached this year in attendance. Exclusive of the four-year colleges, special schools and universities, the attendance reached the grand total of 833,508, which is an increase of more than 50,000 in the number of pupils attending public schools. The greatest growth was in junior colleges, of which there were 13 in the state last year, as compared with ten during the preceding year. The total junior college attendance increased over 50 per cent in one year. The increases in the elementary and high school attendance are the greatest that have been experienced in this state since 1924. The total state's apportionment to all counties for elementary schools was $18,896,694.17, and to the high schools, $5,983,596.96. 651 Young Pupils Examined in County Chances are good that the opening of school in Orange county next fall will enroll a group of children better physically fit than ever before to start their school life; 651 youngsters about to enter school, have been checked for remedial physical defects during the annual summer round-up, conducted by the County Health Department and the various Parent-Teacher organizations. The county has been more thoroughly canvassed this year than ever before and every school district, large and small, has been offered the opportunity to secure these preventive examinations for pre-school children. Fifty school districts have requested and have secured the privilege of this preventive program. Most of the professional work has been done by members of the Health Department this year, but local doctors have willingly responded when requested for help. It is impossible at this time to give a complete analysis of physical findings revealed, in these examinations, but many defects have been found, which can be corrected before next year. As is usual, these examinations revealed that some children are suffering from serious disorder even now beyond correction, but in these cases their respective mothers have been made aware of the existing conditions and now are prepared to guard against further damage. We feel that preventive work of this kind is especially valuable, since it helps to prevent malnourishment and physical handicaps from securing an unbreakable hold upon the growing child. This health campaign is by no means local, but is part of a nation-wide program to emphasize promotion of health and efficiency, by early recognition and correction of physical defects that might retard advancement. A campaign of this nature serves further as an educational feature. Mothers are taught reliable methods of maintaining a high health standard in their children and are urged further to take advantage of protection against communicable disease, where such is available by means of immunization. May Find Remedy For the Black Scale Possibilities that the black scale, a pest that costs the olive and citrus growers of the state hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for control and between two and three million dollars annually from fruit destroyed, may be effectively combatted by the introduction of insect enemies of the parasite, are suggested in a preliminary report just completed by two University of California men. Harry S. Smith, associate professor of entomology and entomologist at the University Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside, and Harold Compere of Sydney, Australia, an assistant at the experiment station, have listed fifty-one species of parasites on the scale itself which are known in various parts of the world. In addition to predatory insects of which the scale is a favorite food. "It has seemed logical to conclude from experience with similar problems that advantage might be taken of this rather large array of natural enemies of the black scale to reduce the damage which it does to California crops," the investigators declare. While Smith and Compere have discovered that black scale can be controlled by the introduction of certain of its natural enemies, the problem has become complicated by the fact that secondary parasites exist which feed on the primary parasites of the scale. They hope, however, to find a parasite which is immune from attack and yet can breed fast enough to effectively control the scale. Black scale is supposed to have first appeared in California between 1868 and 1875, and was first definitely reported in Santa Barbara county. It is now to be found throughout the Southern California citrus belt and in the Sacramento Valley, where it does not attack citrus fruits especially but is a pest on olives. The project for control of the scale was begun under the California State Department of Agriculture and in 1923 was transferred to the university. The federal department of agriculture and foreign countries, notably the Union of South Africa, have been assisting in the work. Preparations Made For Guarding Canal Plans for the construction of a $4,-000,000 air field at the Pacific terminal of the canal have been completed. Work will begin soon, army officials say, at Albrook aviation field, as the site is called. The engineers' specifications call for vast improvements in present landing and hangar facilities in order to bring the Pacific air defense to the same level of efficiency as those of the Atlantic end of the waterway. On July 1 $400,000 became available Pest Control Booklet Available to Growers In outlining to the board of directors the work of the Pest Control Bureau o f the Exchange during the past year, Entomologist Woglum stated that the main purpose of the work is to establish a sound program of pest control in every district—a program based on the most effective, economical and safest insecticide methods known. Mr. Woglum discussed with charts the most effective methods for the control of various pests. The report, in booklet form, under the title, "Handbook of Citrus Insect Control for 1928," has been mailed to all Exchange growers. The booklet contains definite recommendations for control in each of the citrus districts with a wealth of information of interest to every grower. Any grower, whether Exchange member or not, who has not received the report and wishes it may obtain a copy upon request to the Bureau of Pest Control, California Fruit Growers Exchange, Box 530, Station C, Los Angeles. Land for Oranges and Avocados Forty acres best land in Elsinore valley, 45 miles from Anaheim. Oranges and avocados growing adjacent. Plenty of water. Price $600 per acre. Liberal terms. J. E. KNOTTS, Elsinore, Calif. Phone: Elsinore 15, For Guarding Canal Plans for the construction of a $4,000,000 air field at the Pacific terminal of the canal have been completed. Work will begin soon, army officials say, at Albrook aviation field, as the site is called. The engineers' specifications call for vast improvements in present landing and hangar facilities in order to bring the Pacific air defense to the same level of efficiency as those of the Atlantic end of the waterway. On July 1, $400,000 became available for the work. There will be quarters for 1500 men. Five giant hangars of the most modern construction, built of steel and concrete, will be erected. The present landing field will be extended to provide a runway of 4400 feet and a width of 1200 feet. Major-General Malin Craig commander of the Panama Canal department, has submitted a supplementary recommendation to Washington urging the need for a field 2400 feet wide. Other changes suggested by General Craig would include the building of seven flying entrances instead of two. This would give heavily loaded planes arriving at the field an opportunity of landing into the wind regardless of its direction. A northerly wind prevails most of the year in the Canal Zone, but in the event of a change planes would be compelled to land across the wind. The official opening of the field is expected before the end of the year. The huge field will not be completed then, but parts will be ready for use. Four or five years probably will be required to finish the construction work now in view. There will be a large administration building, officers' quarters, and barracks.

Makes Appeal to California Sportsmen An appeal to sportsmen as well as all those interested in the protection of California wild life is graphically made in a desk blotter that is being distributed, at his own expense, by Captain Walter Sellmer of Marin county, who is in charge of the bay and river water patrol for the Division of Fish and Game. Several thousand of these blotters have been printed and sent out over Sellmer's district. An excellent photograph of a doe that has been shot and left to die in the forest by some wanton deer hunter is shown, beside the fallen mother two orphaned fans are standing, endeavoring to get the stricken. Sellmer has embellished the blotter doe to rise again with the following well arranged descriptive appeal: "Sportsmen, will you help us BLOT OUT The Mother Murderer," the man who is lower than the lowest degenerate, the man who betrays the confidence of us all." Under the well executed cut is the line, "Compliments of Game Warden Walter B. Sellmer, Fairfax, California." "Sellmer is well known for his devotion to duty and for his fine work in his district. He is a highly efficient servant of the people of California and his clever and original plan to get before the people of his district this lesson, before the start of the deer season, is highly commendable." Eugene D. Bennett, Executive Officer of the Division of Fish and Game, remarked after examining the "protection blotter."
