Many Accidents On County Roads Sixteen People Injured Saturday and Sunday Ten traffic accidents reported to the Orange county authorities over the weekend resulted in injuries to sixteen persons, two of whom are in hospitals. A broken leg was sustained by William Callahan, sailor on the U. S. S. Decatur at San Diego, when the motorcycle on which he was riding behind F. J. Gaborian, sailor on the U. S. S. Moody, was struck by an automobile driven by S. C. Duebar, Los Angeles, at 5 o'clock Sunday night. Gaborian was slightly hurt when the motorcycle was turned over and thrown from the road. The accident happened when, it is alleged, Duebar tried to pass another car without sufficient room. The Duebar car, officers reported, was returning from Tia Juana and the rear fender of the car struck the left leg of Callahan as he tried to squeeze back into the traffic lane on the coast highway, one and one-half miles east of Gerra. Callahan is a patient at the San Clemente hospital. Officers Ernest Savyer and Ben Craig, of the state traffic force, reported that the sailor was more concerned over missing a cruise that his ship was scheduled to start, than he was over his injury. Duebar was arrested by the officers and held under $500 ball for appearance before Justice John Landell at Capistrano. Dr. Hubert W. Adams, Puente, was the most seriously injured person in a wreck on Spadra street, between Oranggethorpe road and Fullerton city limits at 9 o'clock Sunday night. Mrs. Adams, who was riding in the car driven by her husband, was apparently uninjured when the Adams car was struck head on by a machine driven by Guy A. Dunham of Fullerton, who state Traffic Officer Yeder reported, was attempting to pass. Both cars were wrecked and Dunham was arrested on a charge of driving while under the influence of intoxicants. Dunham and his passenger, Robert Garcia of Red- Two children were injured in a collision at the intersection of South Broadway and Russell street at 12:40 o'clock Saturday afternoon, when cars driven by Lulu M. Wolcott, Los Angeles, and U. A. Detweiler, cane together, Lois Detweiller, 14 and Ben Detweiller, 7, who were riding with their father, received injuries that will keep them confined to their home for some time. The girl was taken to the Anaheim sanitarium following the accident, and was returned to her home Sunday. Alfred Burtemonte escaped with only seratches, according to a report filed with city police, when he was struck by a car driven by Joe Ponchetti, not intersected of Second and Arte streets, while he was playing in the street at 5 o'clock Saturday evening. Cars driven by H. E. Kihinchart and Tom Nelson of Stnaton, collided on the Long Beach-Alamitos road Sunday afternoon, but no one was injured.

Dunham of Fullerton, who state Traffic Officer Yeder reported, was attempting to pass. Both cars were wrecked and Dunham was arrested on a charge of driving while under the influence of intoxicants. Dunham and his passenger, Robert Garcia of Redlands, were slightly hurt. Dr. Adams was taken to the California Lutheran hospital at Los Angeles for treatment of his left arm, which was mangled in the accident. F. P. Roselot and his wife, who live on West Chapman avenue, were taken home suffering with injuries received when their car was struck and overturned at the intersection of West Chapman and Gilbert avenue, west of Garden grove, at 12:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The other car was driven by Pete Gulterez, route six, Santa Ana, according to the report filed by Constable Jesse Elliott. V. Lopez of El Modena received cuts about the face and hands and was taken to the Santa Ana Valley hospital in an unconscious condition at 12:45 o'clock Monday morning, following a collision at Delhi. The car in which he was riding was driven by Juan Devian of Placentia. Inna Chambler, Anaheim, and E. H. Troutman, Anaheim, were treated for cuts and bruises at the Santa Ana Valley hospital at 11:30 o'clock Sunday night, following an accident at the intersection of the Huntington Beach and Talbert roads. When cars driven by Eddie S. Muroka, Hawaiian of Vista, and Jim Martinez, Polona street, Atwood, collided at the intersection of Seventeenth and Grand, Saturday evening, the drivers of both vehicles, and T. Ushio of Vista, passenger in the Muroka car, received minor injuries that were dressed at the Orange County hospital. As a matter of sincerity and fair play in campaigning, the voters of Orange county have a right to expect sincere and fair statements from those who are leaders for or against the proposed flood control bonds. I ask any voter if that is not so. Is it sincere and fair, therefore, for the men employed on pay by the Water Users association to give out preparanda deliberately meant to mislead and confuse the voters? We refer to the advertisements published in Orange county papers by this Water Users association. This so-called association raises great cry, saying "We are entitled know if there is a specified amount for a specified purpose. We don't want to buy a pike in a poke," etc. Knowing full well that this project has been figured out by engineers, geologists and surveyors down to the very last cubic yard of dirt to be moved, of concrete to be mixed and placed, down to the very last foot of pipe to be put in; Knowing full well that there is a 35-page printed report available for the intensive information of any voter of this county—it is available at flood control headquarters on Sycamore street between Third and Fourth; Knowing full well that this project is figured out to the fullest detail, so that three of the best engineers in United States, including A. J. Wiley known as the best government re-voil engineer in America, passed upon it and signed their names without any chamber of commerce, Garden Grove Lions club, Alamitos Friend's church, Garden Grove farm center, Westminster chamber of commerce, Villa Park Mutual Water company, Orange city council, Anaheim farm center, West Orange farm center, Orange chamber of commerce, Fullerton reality board, Orange County Lumbermen's association, Santa Ana Barber's local No. 549, Anaheim Citrus Fruit association, Villa Park Orchards association, Orange Rotary club, Orange Lions club, Buena Park cheamber of commerce, Yorba Linda chamber of commerce, San Juan Capistrano chamber of commerce.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE reservation whatever to the report; Knowing full well that the project has been carried forward and that the ballot is worded and is drawn up in exact accordance with the state law, and cannot be presented otherwise; Knowing all these things to be true, they are trying to tell the voters of this county that there is no specified amount for a specified purpose. They are trying to raise that kind of stuff down our throats. They are trying to scare the gizzard out of us by talking about what their engineers say about the safety of the dams. Our gizzards are not scared out of place that easily. We know full well that a corps of competent engineers was employed by this county to make a plan for flood control. They were given free hand to investigate—spend whatever money that was needed to reach a positive, definite conclusion from an engineering standpoint "for the good of all Orange county." We know that this engineering corps worked for nearly two years. We know that the reports and complete data were gone over by three of the best engineers in the United States, men who have themselves built or helped build 80 dams and have sat in on the building of 70 other dams. What better advice could anybody want? And then almost overnight, comes an engineer named Finkle, a man known to this county, condemning everything in sight, except himself, and he is the mainstay of the publicity agents of the Water Users association. This association, we are informed, is financed largely, if not entirely, by James Irvine, whose lands do not lie in the path of Santa Ana river floods. In one breath these publicity agents say "too much money." In the next, "not enough money to do the job." Whichever assertion scares you the worst, you are privileged to take. The wells of this county are getting down close to sea level. If we continue to pump water out faster than it flows into the underground pool, we run up against disaster. Our streams at times have devastating floods. They do damage as they flow. That damage would be great now, because of many developments. The menace is so great that this county found action necessary. Following the fullest investigation possible, a plan has been proposed. The question now is: Are we going to allow James Irvine or anyone else to divert us from carrying out that plan? Have we got nerve to stand up and face those who would tear down this project, and have nothing to offer in its place? Or are we a wishy-washy people without common sense enough to know expert advice when we hear it and without decisiveness enough to do the thing we know ought to be done? Answer these questions next Tuesday. Executive Committee of Citizens' Campaign Committee, Flood Control and Conservation Bonds: WILLIAM C. JEROME, Chairman JOHN W. GILL, STANLEY V. MANSERVE, M. B. WELLINGTON. Annual Citrus School The program committee of the Inter-County Citrus Department of the California Farm Bureau has arranged for its annual Summer Citrus Institute and School, to be held at the high school, at Corona, California, June 26 and 27. The committee has been successful in getting a program which should be of interest to every citrus grower in California, as well as being instructive. The topics chosen are extremely pertinent. The following is the complete program: June 26, 10:00 a.m. — Chairman C. V. Newman, pres. inter-county citrus department of Farm Bureau. "The Value of Nitrate and Humus Determinations" Willard Babcock, chemist, Riverside. "Irrigation Requirements for Mature Citrus Trees," Prof. S. H. Beckett, experiment station, Davis, California.

"Present Status of Biological Control of Mealybug," Prof. Harry Smith, citrus experiment station. "Washing Trees for Mealybug Control" A. M. Boyce, citrus experiment station Riverside. "Experiments on the Mixing and Application of Oil Sprays," Ralph H. Smith, citrus experiment station. RADIO ADVERTISING Those who have been interested in the relative value of radio and newspaper advertising will find food for thought in the recent experience of Roger W. Babson, whose life work is the compilation of statistics and the making of business surveys: "Newspaper advertising proved more valuable than radio advertising by a ratio of 222 replies to one for a recent announcement of the Babson Statistical organization using both media. Roger W. Babson, business statistician and forecaster, told a lecture audience in Cleveland May 27. One newspaper advertisement published in five cities at a cost of $3,000 brought 222 replies to every one reply received from a $3,000 half-hour radio broadcast over the Columbia network, Mr. Babson said. "The broadcast was from 8:30 to 9 p.m., Saturday, May 18, Mr. Babson said. A well known orchestra was used as the entertainment feature and there was a five-minute talk on the Babson service. The result was 16 inquiries." In the path of Santa Ana river floods. In one breath these publicity agents say "too much money." In the next, "not enough money to do the job."

Not a thing has been held back. Nothing has been hidden. Yet, at the last moment a cry is raised questioning matters that have all been worked out scientifically. Assertions are made wildly, with a hope of confusing the voters. Rumors are fired forth. The fears of the voters are worked upon. This is no time for groundless fears. If we have nerve enough to be pioneers in California's way of going ahead, we'll vote these bonds. If we are milk-and-water folk, scared to death every time somebody who hates to pay taxes lets his imagination get loose, we'll listen to the opposition's last minute rumors. Beware last minute rumors! Don't be scared by bugaboos! COMMITTEE W. C. JEROME, CHAIRMAN
