Again Consider Fair Grounds Buy Farm Bureau to Take Up Proposition at Next Meet At its next regular meeting the board of directors of the Orange County Farm bureau will consider what action it will take on the proposal talt Orange county buy the fair grounds between Santa Ana and Anaheim for a recreational center. No indication as to what the board's attitude will be has been made public, but the body referred the matter to the farm centers throughout the county some time ago when the suggestion first came to the board's attention. It was pointed out at that time that the board was desirous of observing the reaction of the various centers to the matter before committing itself to a definite policy. According to Norman M. Blaney, secretary of the farm bureau, practically every active farm center in the county now has acted on the proposition and has drafted a resolution setting forth its belief that the fair grounds purchase should be made by direct appropriation. Centerna in West Orange, La Habra, Garden Grove, Cypress, V111a Park and El Modena have given support to the movement. Blaney stated. The resolutions point out that the location is the most logical one in the county for a general recreation center. Some time ago the property, consisting of 39 acres, was offered to the county by the fair association at the price paid for it several years ago. It was pointed out that inter-sectional football games, his league baseball training schedules and county-wide events could be staged there.

Run Over By Car After Being Slugged Slugged and thrown from the automobile in which he was riding and then run over by another car as he lay unconscious in the road. David K. Czerny, 20, sailor on the U. S. S. Langley, San Diego, is in a serious condition at the Laguna Beach hospital. He is suffering from abrasions about the head and both hips were badly crushed, it was reported, making it likely that he will be crippled for life. According to the story told by Czerny, he had been visiting friends in San Pedro and had started back to his base, "catching rides" from one car and another. He entered a machine with four men, all of whom were drunk, he said, and rode with them for several miles. An argument started between him and the men which resulted in the sailor being hit over the head and tossed from the machine. J. H. Newcomb, who lives near the place where Czerny was found, reported that he heard loud voices coming from a car which had parked on the road near his house. He was dressed for bed and did not investigate, he reported. After Czerny was hit in the head and left lying in the road, a truck, occupied by motion picture actors, on their way to Three Arches, south of Laguna Beach, ran over Czerny before the driver of the car saw the prostrate form lying in the center of the highway. Both hips were badly crushed and physicians stated that it would be several days before the bones could be set. The base at San Diego was notified and Czerny probably will be removed there.

Style Is Shown By New Machines The new motor car styles as introduced by the Silver Anniversary Buick is one of the outstanding features of the annual salon being held this week at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. Although the Buick for 1929, which was strikingly designed to mark the twenty-fifth year of the company's activities, consists of eighteen models, restrictions in space permit the display of only two cars. A sedan of the close-coupled type in the de luxe class and a convertible coupe, combining versatility with racy smartness, have, therefore, been chosen to represent the new Buick line. Both of these cars will be displayed with special equipment. The sedan, which is in Lodo green with mohair velvet in blending tones, has special wood wheels, with the two spares carried in the front fender wells. The coupe has wire wheels and two extra wheels in fender wells. The coupe is in Nomad tan with khaki top. It was not an easy decision to select the salon cars for there are many models. All the inclosed cars of the line have the new Fisher bodies. "In bringing out the 1929 Buick to observe its twenty-fifth anniversary," the Buick Motor company did some very remarkable things in motor-car construction," said Howard. "The most striking, of course, is the refreshing change from the lines of yesterday. Always observing the dictates of good taste, this new and different Fisher body with increased enrichments, comfort, roominess and style, introduces new contours." Additional width to the seats have been provided for roominess. The seat cushions have been more heavily upholstered. In this connection, it may be interesting to the average owner to know that something like fifteen yards of material are required to upholster a Buick sedan, exclusive of the side and ceiling coverings. One of the most popular innovations introduced in the new line is the adjustable front seat. By the simple turning of a handle the front seat may be moved forward or backward. In the building of the heavier body, which is seen in such a wide variety of style on our showroom floor, there has been a new stanchness added to the construction. Millions of dollars were expended on machinery at the Fisher factories to make the building of these bodies a production possibility. Of course, it is only by demonstration that the new Buick proves that it is as much advanced in performance as it is in appearance. The motors in County Highways Under Construction Orange county today had road work under way or contemplated which is valued at approximately $550,000. This figure was made public by Nat Neff, highway superintendent, after checking over the various projects under way or being planned. Contracts have been let for work amounting to $200,000. Plans are under way for other construction at a probable cost of $350,000, according to Neff. Construction on South Main street, which is being widened and repaved, has reached a point where it is expected that traffic can be accommodated from the Dyer road to Delhi road about December 1. This will enable motorists to travel the entire distance to Newport Beach on paved highways, although a detour still will be necessary. The project will cost $75,000. Santiago boulevard is being repaved from East Chapman avenue to the bridge over the Santiago creek at a cost of $40,000. Ocean avenue is to be paved at a cost of $55,000, so that it will hook up with Seventh street, Long Beach. Santa Fe street, Placentia, is being paved at a cost of $10,000. Paving of Eighteenth street, Costa Mesa, is to cost $15,000, while the cost of road work at the Orange County hospital is estimated at $5000. Road work for which plans are under way includes a $240,000 project at which mean prosperity. Hoover's election should, of course, not be taken as warrant for any wild splurge, any orgy of speculation; nothing would threaten enduring prosperity more than a boom. The campaign just closed has been in some quarters almost unprecedented in its bitterness. The reckless and irresponsible have had full rein; they have stirred up animosities which might, but for the temperate attitude of the majority of citizens, have had serious consequence. The President-elect is to be congratulated upon the fact that he had no part in promoting such developments and that he did his best, to allay them. No denunciation of bigotry and intolerance was more severe than Hoover's, no declaration in favor of liberty of conscience more heartfelt and sincere. So far as the religious issue was raised in the canvass, it was raised by the attempt of Gov. Smith to pose as a martyr to persecution; Hoover's attitude proved that the pose was a false one, the persecution largely imaginary and in no respect countenanced by any person within his sphere of control. It is to be hoped that the campaign of 1928 has definitely eliminated any religious issue from politics, and that it will never plague the voters again. To support Hoover the country has apparently chosen a Congress safely Republican in both branches, though definite figures on the composition of the national legislature are not yet available. This well, since otherwise the result would have been less decisive, and the party responsibility which is so necessary a part of our scheme of government would have been lacking. The Republican party accepts the trust which the voters have reposed in it in confidence that their confidence will prove to have been well merited. It has held the reins of government in all but sixteen of the past sixty-eight years; and it has guided government, for the most part, in a direction that meant the greatest benefit for the greatest number of people. It now rededicates itself to another four-year period of public service, in the hope that it will be able, during that period, to raise the nation to a still higher plane, both economically and spiritually. These anti-fat remedies would be all right if they really could take the fat out of the cranium. ANAHEIM GAZETTE GOOD OLD DAYS Quite frequently we hear the expression that life in the good old days was much better than it is today—that people had more personal liberty and an easier time of it. Yet this is not the fact. In the so-called good old days, getting back to the time of the colonies, the so-called blue laws were much more strict than today and there was less personal liberty. Writing under the title, "Life in the Good Old Days," in the current issue of the National Republic, William Turner tells something of this life. Among other things he says. "In June, 1682, this interesting record of punishment for getting drunk was found: 'Ordered by the town that if any Indian shall be found drunk in this town he shall be forthwith apprehended by him or them that so finds him, and he shall either pay ten shillings or be whipped, the one-half of the fine is for those that find him drunk and the other half is for the town.'" "As early as 1630 the water power problem and the monopoly thereof was handled by the Town Meeting in this brief but effective fashion: 'Granted to Captain Lester two hundred acres of land for his encouragement to set up a sawmill, and to have the benefit of the stream and tiber at the place, and no others to set up a sawmill upon the same stream to his drainage.'" "Who would imagine that away back yonder in the year 1720—a dozen years before Washington was born—that people stole watermelons just as occasionally as is done today? From the records of a justice of the peace we learn that an irate farmer named Samuel Minor with stealing about thirty water millions which is contrary to law, and is to his dame, as he saith, the sum of 20s and prayers for justice." Evidently the farmer put up a poor case because the justice ruled. This court having examined the case, consider the evidence don't find matter of fact proved, do therefore acquire the defendants, and consider the plaintiffs pay the charge of presentar." "Strolling around late at night in the good old days' it seems taboo. A among the industries which have adopted the modern economic philosophy of huge production. In hygone years profits found their entire basis in the differential between cost and selling price on a minimum production schedule. Today industry seeks to stimulate consumption by cutting the price. In turn this increases production, and thereby enlarges payrolls and still further expands capacity to consume. Though the differential decreases, enlarged production maintains and increases profits. The operation of this system in the tire industry has made it possible to take a commodity in many times aserviceable at a price less than that charged years ago. It has assisted in making possible the widespread use of the automobile, and through increasing the nation's payroll has increased the nation's capacity to consume not only automotive products, but all other commodities. Since most great industries of America now are converted to the policy of providing consumption you have right there the kernel of national prosperity. Big Increase In Registrations Dreary predictions of pessimists that automobile registrations in California were reaching the "saturation point" were set at naught today by a state issued by the division of motor vehicles showing a gain of 63,399 in fee paid registration for the first online months of this year over 1927. The total for the nine-months' period is 1,800,552 as compared with 1,736,795 for 1927. The records of the division show a total of $8,900,552 was collected from the motorists during this period. The bulk of this will go to the state highway commission and the various counties for maintenance and repair of roads. The registration for the nine-months' period is divided as follows: Passenger cars, 1,542,848; pugnantic trucks, 176,216; solid trucks, 35,941; motorcycles, 9130; trailers, 36,059. votes which carried the Republican national ticket to victory, lifted scores of stocks $1 to $15.50 a share. Some of the gains were cut down and a few representative issues, such as General Motors and United States common, closed fractionally lower, but final quotations generally were around the highest of the day. Total sales of 4,891,200 shares have been exceeded only by the record-breaking session of June 12, when 5,193,600 shares changed hands in a declining market. The market bounded upward from the opening gong. Curtis Aeroplane, one of the first stocks to appear on the tape, opened with a gan of $10 a share. Then came blocks of 5000 to 20,000 shares of a wide assortment of oil shares, fifteen of which established new high records for the year during day. Public utilities, which were bought into the political limelight by the development of the power question as a national issue also changed hands in tremendous volume at rising prices. Copper, mall order, merchandising textile, farm implement,'express and food shares joined the advance as buying orders poured on to the floor from all sections of the country. Wireless messages from ships at sea and from European capitals, where American securities were hid up before the New York-market opened, contributed their quota of buying orders. Relays of operators working at top speed tried ineffectually to keep the ticket tape abreast the market. Soon after the market opened word came that the ticker had fallen seven minutes behind, then seventeen, twenty and thirty until in early afternoon the delay was extended to for-five minutes. A moderate slackening of the pace of trading reduced the delay to twelve minutes in the last hour, but the usual last-minute rush of orders delayed the printing of the final quotation until forty-three minutes after the final gong and sounded. Several large traders who had been buying stocks in recent weeks in anticipation of a post-election rally sold stocks freely in the morning advance. As a result, prices of many active stocks Elected President, over victory for disaster who pro-prohilism for combination; they have the highest old has ever high wages suitably less they have national feel American flag have seen and the laws into office of the post President, a of the gov- and a knowl- of internat- to that of named diplo- dents to face trouble.

The old record of a case of drunkenness reads: 'Apena-naucuck being drunk was by the constable brought before me to be dealt with as the law directs. I do sentence said Apena-naucuck to pay a fine of ten shillings, or to sit in the stocks two hours, and pay the charge of prosecution.'

CUT IN TIRE PRICES Another reduction in tire prices has been announced by manufacturers and this cut is being reflected down the line through the retailer to the car owner. The reduction, naturally, means a saving to the motorist.

SPEND THE DAY IN ORANGE Anaheim, Calif., Nov. 8, 1928 the Republican natery, lifted scores of a share. Some of down and a few such as General States common, power, but final quoare around the highcome into the market, absorbed the offerings and pushed several issues above their morning high levels. Curtiss, for instance, fell from $144.75 a share to $136.25 and then rallied to $147 for a net gain of $12.25. Wright Aeronautical dropped from the opening price of $183 to $177.50 and then soared to $191.25 for a net gain of $15.50. American Express, American Railways Express, American Linseed, American Smelting, Anaconda Copper, Kennecott Copper, Calumet and Arizona, Greene Cananea Copper, Timken Roller Bearing, Warner Brothers issues and a few others closed $5 to $12 a share higher. A few failed to come back. General Motors set a new high record at $224.75 in the early outburst of buying and then slipped back to $220.75 despite President Sloan's recent prediction that "something of a pleasant surprise" awaited shareholders at the quarterly meeting of directors tomorrow. United States Steel common also lost ground, although that issue had led the advance in American stocks in London at the opening of the market there. It is a good idea to flush and clean the radiator at least every 60 days. Do not stop flushing until all of the rusty water is gone and when it is found that a scale has formed inside of the radiator and water jackets, use washing or baking soda which cuts the scale and rust and also stops any small leaks.

At $675—Characteristic Chrysler power, speed and pick-up, plus the quiet and smoothness of far costlier cars. At $675—Safety of internal-expanding hydraulic 4-wheel brakes, positive in any weather—the only car at its price with such equipment. At $675—New and distinctive style which has obsoleted all earlier standards. At $675—the full adult-size of $2000 cars, and luxury of fitment other cars in this field cannot afford.
