LOCAL BREVITIES Mrs. Eva Boyd returned some days ago from Sacramento, where she was a delegate to the Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star, which met in that city. While in the North, Mrs. Boyd visited with her daughter, Miss Jessie Boyd, who is doing special work in the state university at Berkeley this year. Mrs. Frank Champion of San Diego is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Loly. She will remain until the end of the month. Mrs. Champion is Mrs. Lolly's mother and is a well-known former resident of Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Engabroad returned some days ago from a six-weeks' visit to their former home in South Dakota. On the return trip they were held up in Wyoming by a snow storm which blocked the road for several days. Mr. and Mrs. John Cassou and their daughter, Miss Ruby Cassou, last week from a visit to the northern part of the state. They remained some days at Adams' Hot Springs. The Orange County Federation of Women's club will assemble in convention at Huntington Beach tomorrow. Representatives from each club in the county will be present and a large attendance is expected. Mrs. Henry Adams, president of Ebell; Mrs. H. D. Newkirk, Mrs. Kurt Epstein, Mrs. J. E. Walters, Mrs. A. C. Pearson, Mrs. A. Nagle, Mrs. Wilbert Bonney and Mrs. Herbert Oelke will attend as delegates from Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Benjamin returned several days ago from a motor trip during which they went as far North as Seattle. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kraemer, who accompanied them North, returned home last week by train. Mrs. Isabella Hahn died at a Long Beach hospital Friday at the age of 85. She was for many years a resident of Anaheim, but moved to Long Beach after the death of her husband ten years ago. Her husband, John Hahn, was proprietor of a livery stable on South Los Angeles street and was one of the POLITICIANS VS. PEOPLE At the general election in November, 1926, the people of California adopted a constitutional amendment providing for the reorganization of the two branches of the state legislature so as to give to the people living in the rural districts of the state membership control of the state senate, and to the people living in the populous centers of the state membership control of the state assembly. This amendment, popularly known as the Federal Plan of Reapportionment Act, was adopted by a majority of 74,-000 and was approved by the voters of 57 of the 58 counties of the state. Complying with this plain mandate from the people, the legislature of 1927 unanimously passed a bill, known as the Boggs reapportionment act, putting the amendment into effect. So far so good, but—Certain highly organized and sinister influences in San Francisco and Los Angeles bought enough signatures to enable them to submit the Boggs Act to a referendum vote of the people. This referendum measure will be No. 1 on ballot for the November election and the question the voter will have to decide is: Shall the action of the legislature in passing the Boggs Reapportionment Act (in compliance to the will of the people as expressed at the polls) be sustained? This newspaper believes the vote should be Yes—for the following and other reasons: A No vote would be a vote of confidence in and encouragement to the sinister influences that caused the Boggs Act to be submitted to referendum vote, thereby flouting and disregarding the will of the people. The Federal Plan of Reapportionment as provided in the Boggs Act is fair and just to all the people, regardless of their place of residence. The plan has been adopted in twenty-nine other states and it has worked admirably in all these states. Under the Federal Plan of Reapportionment, the political bosses of the big cities of the state would lose the power they now possess, and frequently exert to control the legislature and dictate what legislation shall, or shall not, be passed. are they that they wish with the plans of government leaders?

Her husband, John Hahn, was proprietor of a livery stable on South Los Angeles street, and was one of the well-known citizens of the town. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff drove down from Los Angeles on Tuesday and spent the day and yesterday with friends in this neighborhood. They have recently returned from automobile trips to various points of interest up the coast. Mrs. Nellie E. Terry visited Republican headquarters in Los Angeles on Wednesday and was a guest at lunchon at the Alexandria hotel. A number of distinguished leaders of the party were present and all were enthusiastic as to the outcome of the campaign for the Hoover and Curtis ticket. Oscar Lawler made the principal address at the luncheon. In the afternoon Mrs. Terry attended a meeting of the women's division of the Republican headquarters at which Major Walter Tuiller made an address. One thing we like about the Socialist campaign is that the head of the organization doesn't claim all the doubtful states. HANNALEI HILLS A Beautiful Subdivision Under Vista Water.

BIRTHDAY SALE The Federal Plan of Reapportionment as provided in the Boggs Act is fair and just to all the people, regardless of their place of residence. The plan has been adopted in twenty-nine other states and it has worked admirably in all these states. Under the Federal Plan of Reapportionment, the political bosses of the big cities of the state would lose the power they now possess, and frequently exert, to control the legislature and dictate what legislation shall, or shall not, be passed. The checks and balances provided by the Boggs Act are similar to the checks and balances provided by the Federal constitution, the congress being elected upon a population basis, the senate upon a geographical basis. The Boggs Act merely applies the federal plan of representation to the state. It should be remembered that only the Boggs Act is submitted to a referendum vote; that even though the voters should disapprove the Boggs Act, the constitutional abdication providing for Federal Plan Reapportionment would still be in full force and effect; that this being true it would be the plain duty of the 1927 legislature to re-enact the Boggs Act; that, therefore, the only results of an adverse vote on the Boggs Act would be confusion, delay, and Nullification by the people of their own Constitutional Amendment. This newspaper respectfully urges its readers to Vote Yes on Proposition No. 1. SCHOOLS IN JEOPARDY In the thinking of some of our educational leaders there has been for several years a trend toward the removal of the schools from the people. More recently, all the people have held the purse strings tigether, and have questioned their effectiveness of many of the practices that sweep through our schools; these leaders have become bolder.

We will run the schools! Before the people, as the result of this bold thinking of certain school men, are two propositions which are intended to put the people in their place as mere tax payers: First: Amendment No. 6 to appear on the November ballot, proposes that the people shall no longer elect the superintendent of their state school system; that they shall not elect the members of their state board of education; and finally, in effect, that the future policies of the state school system shall be so far removed from the control of the people that only a recall election can reach those responsible for the determination of policies governing the very lives of our children. Even a recall election could not undo the actions which such an irresponsible governing board might take before removal from office. Contracts for poor text-books might already be let. The numerous administrative school offices of the state might be filled by incompetents enjoying practically life tenure. The spirit of autocratic domination would have permeated the entire state system. Policies would be set up that only years of change could displace. A tradition of "we are smarter than the people" would have been established which must result in spiritual demoralization of the school system from top to bottom. Second: There is being prepared for the next session of the legislature, a bill which proposes such a radical reorganization of our schools, along lines so undemocratic, that one pauses to wonder whether it might not be simpler to at once choose an educational dictator, and admit that the people are incapable of self-government. This bill proposes what has sometimes been spoken of as the County Unit of School Organization. All existing school districts are to be abolished. Elementary schools, high schools and junior colleges are to be combined, within each county, into one large county school district governed by a board with arbitrary powers to set the tax rate, close small schools and organize a system of bushes to feed large schools, erect buildings, employ teachers, and to otherwise have full control over the schools of the county under the rules and regulations of the irresponsible new Unified System Of Traffic Rules National Sentiment in Favor of the Proposal Results of a survey of traffic regulation in other states were made public by the State Division of Motor Vehicles to prove that the proposal to create a state-controlled and unified traffic force for California is not an untried experiment. Revealing a nationwide sentiment in favor of uniform traffic regulation through a strong centralized body, the survey showed at least a dozen states already have complete control of traffic regulation either through a state police force, constabulary or a distinct traffic force handling nothing but traffic violations. Frank G. Snook, Chief of the Division, who is advocating the creation of a unified force in California to eliminate the present "double-headed" system, declared that regulation of traffic has worked particularly well in Pennsylvania where a special body of highway patrolmen handles traffic violations and another body of state policemen handle regular criminal cases. The survey shows that New York has a similar system maintaining both a state force of highway patrolmen and a force of state troopers. In Massachusetts, a force of 255 men is maintained, the highway patrol being a branch of the state police. The survey reveals this force has made an enviable record for several years. Nearer home, the survey shows Oregon with a unified force of forty-five highway patrolmen working in precincts, but answerable only to one chief. Washington was also found to have a splendid force operating under direct state control. Among other states that have adopted exclusive state control of traffic regulations are Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia. Inquiry by the division revealed that a number of other states are considering the adoption of the unified traffic force plan. Among these is Florida, by the Democratic leader of the House, urging the voters of the Sixth Maryland District to elect as their representative the most rampant and notorious free trader Maryland has produced —David J. Lewis. "Lewis at one time represented this district in Congress. He then established a reputation as a free-trader, an extreme free-trader. No Democrat went further than he in advocating the free-trade doctrine. After he tried unsuccessfully to break into the Senate, President Wilson, cognizant of his economic views, appointed him a member of the Tariff commission. No Democrat on that commission, before or since, voiced such extreme tariff views; none cause trouble. That recognized free-trader is now endorsed for Congress by ten of the leading Democrats of the House of Representatives. Why? They do not disguise their object. They frankly state that they want him in Congress because 'he would be particularly useful to us as a member' o f the Ways and Means committee. That is the committee that originates all tariff bills and reports them to the House; it is the committee that shapes the tariff policy of the party in power." Commenting on the latter, Chairman Work said it illustrated the difficulties in which the Democrats find themselves when they try to "ride a free-trade steed in one district and a competitive tariff steed in another." "The Republican policy," said the chairman, "is as Mr. Hoover stated Saturday, 'not to balance the books of business corporations,' but to safeguard the family budget."

The house was beautifully decorated with autumn flowers and Halloween supplied the motif for the table decorations. A delicious repast was served after the game.

Nearer home, the survey shows Oregon with a unified force of forty-five highway patrolmen working in precincts, but answerable only to one chief. Washington was also found to have a splendid force operating under direct state control. Among other states that have adopted exclusive state control of traffic regulations are Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia. Inquiry by the division revealed that a number of other states are considering the adoption of the unified traffic force plan. Among these is Florida where recent heavy increases in automobile registration combined with a big road building program, have made the traffic situation extremely acute. In fact, it was found that wherever states have embarked on an extensive plan of road building the need of adequate protection of life and property on these roads immediately became an important issue. Records of all the states having unified traffic forces show the cost of maintenance has been considerably below that in states where traffic regulation is handled by county and city authorities. Snook declared, however, the survey showed the greatest advantage was obtained in having a mobile force that could operate in any part of the state withoutout interference from local authorities. Legislation is now being prepared for introduction at the coming session of the legislature to give California a similar system of traffic control. This legislation has been endorsed by the California State Federation of Labor, the League of Municipalities the California Development association, the County Supervisors' association and many other important bodies. The system for California differs from that employed in many of the other states in that the force proposed here will be used only in highway patrol work. ENDORSE FREE TRADER Will R. Wood, chairman of the Republican National Congressional committee, in a letter to Chairman Work of the Republican National committee, quoted a letter signed by nine Democratic members of the Ways and Means committee and the Democratic House leader endorsing for Congress former Representative David J. Lewis of Maryland and former member of the Tariff commission, who while a member of the House was an advocate of free trade. This endorsement, Mr. Wood asserted, shows very plainly the hand of the Democrats desirous of getting Mr. Lewis elected so as to have an oldtime Democrat on the Ways and Means committee who would support revision of the tariff along oldtime Democratic lines. The letter urging support for Lewis was quoted, in part, by Mr. Wood as follows: "Mr. Lewis, if returned to Congress, would bring to his new duties his invaluable experience of eight years as Advertising Ready For Grapefruit The new 1928-29 grapefruit advertising campaign is in readiness to begin with the movement of this fruit and plans have been made to co-operate with the sales department in the development of new markets, as well as to continue increasing consumption of California grapefruit in districts where this fruit is already established. Street car cards, newspapers and personal sales promotion demonstrations and dealer service work will be used. The campaign will extend through the winter and spring months, thereby benefiting all grapefruit shipers, and presenting the merits of California grapefruit to the maximum number of consumers. A specially trained service man will work with exchange district managers, jobbers and retailers to personally assist in the introduction of California grapefruit in new markets. His efforts will be supported by timely newspaper advertising designed to inform housewives of the advent of this new grapefruit. A new assortment of dealer display material will be used by this specialty man and the other dealer service men on the Pacific Coast. Demonstrators will also be employed to work in leading retail stores. In this way giving consumers the opportunity to see and taste California grapefruit. Direct mail to the trade will also be used. Considering the limited funds available, this is considered a well-rounded campaign, designed to help sell grapefruit from all districts. A large proportion of the grapefruit crop will be marketed through the exchange, which is desirable from the standpoint of both advertising support and efficient distribution. The fellow who cheats at solitaire is the same one who reads the last chapter of the mystery story first. This endorsement, Mr. Wood asserted, shows very plainly the hand of the Democrats desirous of getting Mr. Lewis elected so as to have an oldtime Democrat on the Ways and Means committee who would support revision of the tariff along oldtime Democratic lines. The letter urging support for Lewis was quoted, in part, by Mr. Wood as follows: "Mr. Lewis, if returned to Congress, would bring to his new duties his invaluable experience of eight years as a member of the Tariff commission. He could render unequalled aid to his colleagues in solving the vexed problems of tariff legislation which lie ahead, and he would be particularly useful to us as members of the Ways and Means committee, in which committee Congressional legislation always originates. "For these and other reasons we are constrained to make this unusual appeal and do not hesitate to ask you to treat with exceptional respect and concern his candidacy. By so doing, we are convinced you will be helping to promote the general welfare." This is signed by John N. Garner, Texas; J. W. Collier, Mississippi; W. A. Oldfield, Arkansas; C. R. Crisp, Georgia; Cordell Hull, Tennessee; John F. Carew, New York; Henry T. Railey, Illinois; C. C. Dickinson, Missouri; R. L. Doughton, North Carolina; Democratic members of the Ways and Means committee, the minority leader in the House. "The significance of the letter just quoted is that it discloses the ideas and purposes of the Democrats who would dominate the Ways and Means committee of the next House if a Democratic Congress should be elected." Mr. Wood wrote to Chairman Work. "The Democrats not only endorse the views of Lewis, but they want him in Congress; want him on the Ways and Means committee to help them shape the next tariff revision. Every signer of that letter who was then in Congress voted for the Underwood bill; their tariff views have not changed."

George M. French, another investigator, finds that the mean temperatures during March at Los Angeles and San Diego stand in direct relation to the following season rainfall about 70 per cent of the time. Although predictions on the basis of Blockman's theory are negative, French's observations predict a fairly wet winter. And to lend further support to this prediction, ocean surface temperatures taken by the University at Scripps pier from August 1 to October 12, give an average of 66.4 degrees, or one degree below the mean temperature of the water during the past twelve years. Low water temperature in this period usually means a wet season following. Predictions made to date at Scripps have been 75 per cent accurate. Five times in the past dry winter has been successfully prognosticated. Three times, in predictions of wet seasons, the data proved to be not strictly accurate. Professor McEwen points out that all of the indices are still on an empirical basis, and have no adequately established physical basis. They seem to express no more than a fair probability regarding the coming season, but as the supporting factors grow more numerous, this probability will assume increasing weight.

The tenor of the Word shows that we shall obtain the victory over death in proportion as we overcome sin."
