VOLUME LIX UNION JUNIOR COLLEGE ROBBERS CRACK SAFE IN LOCAL MARKET DISCOVER ROBBERY WHEN STORE IS OPENED EARLY MONDAY MORNING Tip Top Market Safe Is Blown Open With Nitro-Glycerine; Yeggs Move Safe Into Meat Refrigerator to Deaden the Sound; Admittance to Building Gained by Jimmying Back Door; $1,100 Taken in Cash and Currency; Is Covered by Insurance. Operation On Officer's Brain Is Successful Performing a most delicate operation upon the brain of Arthur S. Stromerspn, 38 years of age, a Laguna Beach traffic officer, Dr. M. A. Glaser, Los Angeles brain specialist, perhaps saved the life of a man otherwise doomed to die as a result of an accident. The officer's head, terribly crushed when it struck against the steel axle of a parked car as he was hurled through the air from his skidding motorcycle, was literally rebuilt at the hospital on Tuesday in the operating room. The frontal bone over his eye, which had been knocked inward nearly an inch by the impact, was restored to its normal position by the operation and the protecting membrane around the brain, which was torn, was sewed up. More than a score of tiny bone slivers were removed from Stromerson's head. His condition is improved and he has an even chance to recover.

Friederly of This City, No ber of District Office. Becoming effective on the various changes to STORE IS OPENED EARLY MONDAY MORNING Tip Top Market Safe Is Blown Open With Nitro-Glycerine; Yeggs Move Safe Into Meat Refrigerator to Deaden the Sound; Admittance to Building Gained by Jimmying Back Door; $1,100 Taken in Cash and Currency; Is Covered by Insurance. When George Jones and N. Ed Swalinson opened their Tip Top market at West Center and Palm streets, Monday morning, they found at the end of the meat counter the market's safe blown open with nitro-glycerine, its contents entirely missing, and some of the apparatus which had been used to open the safe left behind. The burglaries, Jimmying their way in through the rear door of the market building, turned the safe on its back, poured their "soup" into the crevice of the safe door, led two electric wires into the crack, and then putted it over. To do the actual "blowing," the men took the safe into the big meat refrigerator and it took only the turning of the light socket for the explosive to bend back the steel rods holding the safe closed, as if they were cardboard. Mr. Jones, one of the proprietors, who in his work in various markets has seen many safes cracked, expressed his belief that this was as pretty a piece of work as he had ever seen. The steel around the door had simply been bent back, and the rods twisted enough to let the door come open. There was no sledge-hammering or battering to break the door in any way. Photographs were taken of the safe and an effort was made to find fingerprints, though in all probability the thieves wore gloves. Officers believe the robbery to be the work of the men who, last Friday, cracked a safe in a Santa Ana grocery store. Some $535 in cash was taken, and $616 in checks, to total over $1,100. Insurance covers the money and safe, and with the banks all notified of the endorsed checks, the yeggs can use only the actual cash. The robbery occurred probably between 3:30 and 6 o'clock Monday morning, between the times when patrolmen passed the market and tried the doors. Shower Given For Local Girl Miss Myrtle Winters was the hostess on Saturday evening at a very elaborate dinner and shower, at her home on Magnolia avenue, in honor of her cousin Miss Virginia Elam, who has for some time past resided at the Winter home.

EASTMAN Assistant Farm Advisor The class in sub-tropical horticulture offered each summer by the University of California at the Citrus Experiment Station, near Riverside, made its fifth and last field excursion to Orange county last Saturday. This course is given by Professors I. J. Condit and Robert W. Hodgson, both of whom were present on the last field excursion. The class is as large as the present equipment of the University will accommodate, according to Professor Hodgson, every available laboratory space and library facility being utilized. This maximum number is sixty and includes representatives from eight states and eleven foreign countries, mostly of the near East. As this group all speak Arabic in addition to their own tongue, they are able to get along very well with the limited amount of English which some of them possess and owing to the excellent grasp of English which ethers have.

L. A. Darktown Likes Local Fowls Out Central avenue way in Los Angeles' darktown, where the Florian Slappeys and Evans Chews live, and where the delectable qualities of fried chicken are most greatly realized, people shouldn't leave truckloads of fowls unguarded for any length of time. When, the first of this week, John King, local chicken buyer, came back to his chicken truck parked on Central avenue, or rather the spot where he had left it, both truck and birds—some $200 worth—had disappeared. And when the truck was found a little later in an alley, its load was conspicuous by its absence. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Reid are at home after a fortnight spent in the northern part of the state. They spent several days in San Francisco and a week at Lake Tahoe. They also visited Truckee, Carson City and Reno, Nevada.

The class also stopped briefly to observe the planting of mangoes on the Irvine Ranch and to be told of the climatic requirements of this fruit. Carl Newman met the group at the San Joaquin Fruit Ranch and presented them with real valencia oranges, which were gratefully devoured upon the spot. Subsequently Mr. Newman discussed the production of valencias, the status of walnuts, the adaptation of lemons, and results being obtained with different varieties of avocados alone, and interplanted with oranges and lemons, as well as different cultural practices which are being used on this probably the largest commercial avocado plantation. The last stop of the day was made in a grove showing wind injury, where the causes and results of both desert and ocean winds was developed. Finally Professor Hodgson reviewed five field trips that had been made as part of the summer course, pointing out the reason for each stop and what had been observed there, thus unifying the field work in an admirable, if not exquisite summary.

Wahlberg and Family Back From Trip Through the West. Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg returned Saturday, after an extended tip through the Western States. Besides attending the Western States Farm Bureau Conference at Bozeman, Montana, he visited the experiment stations and extension offices at Logan, Utah; Bozeman, Montana; Moscow; Idaho; Pullman, Washington; Corvallis, Oregon and Berkeley. At each of these institution the farm advisor gained knowledge of crop and soil problems in each state traversed. The question of cultivation was particularly investigated by the Orange county agent. Almost invariably he found that the old theories of cultivation have been discarded as in California. The latest investigations show that cultivation itself does not conserve moisture Only indirectly by the destruction of weeds that draw the moisture does cultivation cut down moisture losses. This new idea in relation to moisture conservation has been emphasized by the local Extension Service for several years. While at the Utah Agricultural College, Logan, the farm advisor participated in the annual Farmers' Encampment, which was attended by over 2,000 farmers from all parts of the state. He addressed the annual meeting of the Utah State Farm Bureau. Montana was suffering from a long dry spell and the grain crop was in jeopardy. Farmers anticipated a very poor year as a consequence. W. L. Stockton, a brother-in-law of the late Dr. J. R. Schofield, former president of the Orange County Farm Bureau, is state president of the Montana Farm Bureau. He officiated at the first session of the Western Farm Bureau Conference at Bozeman. The farm advisor secured motion pictures of farm operations in Utah and Montana, which will be available at the various farm center meetings in Orange county this fall. Mr. Wahlberg was accompanied by his wife and two sons on the trip, which also included side trips to Yellowstone Will contain a complete degree of Southern California news as relates to its development and affairs.

Counting scores of changes of vital interest to every motorist in the state. California's new motor vehicle act became effective yesterday, the 14th. The new act represents nine months of study by officials of the division of motor vehicles, safety groups and other interested bodies and is regarded by Governor C. C. Young as one of the outstanding accomplishments of the 1929 legislature. Outstanding in importance among the provisions of the new act was the creation of the California Highway Patrol, a change that will put all traffic squads now operating as independent county units under a central head, completely controlled by the state.

Fly Eradication May Take Years A. A. Brock, County Horticultural Commissioner, Speaks To Kiwanis A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, addressed the Anaheim Kiwanis Club at its weekly meeting Tuesday, delivering a lecture on the dreaded Mediterranean fruit fly, illustrated by stereopticon slides. His belief that the present eradication campaign in Florida is by no means a predetermined success and that it may, instead of taking this year, take three or four years to complete, is of great interest to local producers in that local county may be the only large source of oranges and lemons for the next few years in this country. Compensation in some degree should be forthcoming to the Florida growers, said Mr. Brock, and the fruit of the infected areas should all be condemned as a further precaution against the fly's spreading. Before Mr. Brock's talk, Maurice Martinet was inducted into the club, and Rev. Benjamin S. Haywood spoke to his fellow Kiwanians on "What I Mean to Kiwanis."

A. Heither, 28, of Santa Ana to commit suicide last Friday evening at Olive. Employed as a fumigator, he entered a tent covering an orange tree about 8:30 and died about two hours later as a result of the poisonous fumes. Heither was missed by members of the crew immediately and a search along the row where he had been working in the Greening and Smith grove, revealed the step that he had taken. The members of the crew gave first aid and called a physician at once, but treatment was unavailing, death coming two hours later. One good breath of the gas, it is said, will have fatal results, and Heither was missing about five minutes before being discovered under the gas filled tent. Heither is survived by his wife and an eight-year-old son. UNION JUNIOR COLLEGE PLAN ADVANCED SANTA ANA BOARD INVITES SOUTHERN DISTRICTS TO MEET Committee on Education of the Associated Chambers of Commerce Presents Desire for a Dinner Meeting, To Be Held at Santa Ana on September 17; Fullerton Apparently Determined to Keep Her Junior College. Acting upon a recommendation given by a sub-committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce committee on Bill to Aid Blind Becomes State Law County Auditor Jerome To Administer Law in County With the legislature's act permitting state relief to needy blind becoming law on Wednesday of this week, County Auditor W. C. Jerome assumes an important part of its administration. The "old age pension" law, which becomes effective on January 1, will also be administered locally by the auditor. All applications will be filed with the county auditor of the county in which the applicant resides. In turn, county agents will pass upon the eligibility of the person seeking aid. Some counties, however, have no social workers, in which case the state will conduct its own investigation. "There will be no governmental 'red tape' surrounding the payment of funds to both the blind and aged," said A. R. Heron, director of finance. "This office will approve the claims just as fast as they are presented." More than 4,000 persons in the state have applied for aid under the old age pension act permitting relief up to $30 a month to all able to qualify. Approximately 3,000 have applied for the needy blind relief, the maximum monthly payment of which is $50. Persons seeking the old age pension must be at least 70 years old. Moreover, they must have been American citizens for 15 years, residents of California, 15 years and residents of the county one year. If they own property worth more than $3,000, or have children legally responsible and able to support them, the aid cannot be given. Under the blind aid act, applicants must be over 16 years old, unable to support themselves and be without relatives to care for them. If they became blind before coming to California, they must have lived in the state ten years or more. In no case may their total income, including state aid funds, exceed $1,000. VISITORS ENTERTAINED Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Stanton were hosts at their home on Brookhurst road, on Sunday, to Mr. and Mrs. David W. Mulvane of Topela, Kan., and Judge Ernest Weyand of Colusa, Calif., of the superior court bench in Los Angeles. Mr. Stanton and Judge Weyand were together in the State Legislature some TO MEET Committee on Education of the Associated Chambers of Commerce Presents Desire for a Dinner Meeting, To Be Held at Santa Ana on September 17; Fullerton Apparently Determined to Keep Her Junior College. Acting upon a recommendation given by a sub-committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce committee on education, the Santa Ana Board of Education in its Tuesday's meeting sent invitations for a dinner meeting at Santa Ana on September 17, for the purpose of discussing a Union Junior College for Orange county, to the high school boards and trustees of Anaheim, Orange, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Costa Mesa, Newport, Tustin and Capistrano. The committee headed by W. C. Jerome and H. A. Lake included from Anaheim the high school board and Principal J. A. Clayes, and representatives from the other districts in the southern part of the county. The new state law concerning junior colleges pays the way for just such action as the special committee contemplates, and it is apparent that the Santa Ana plans will be welcomed by those which that city has invited to the discussion. The so-called 5-4-4 plan, as has been used at Pasadena, is one problem in the way of a Union Junior College plan. If Santa Ana should adopt an education plan similar to that of Pasadena, its own junior college problem would be at an end. The idea of the plan is to keep the student in school for two college years by stopping grammar school instruction at the end of the sixth grade, providing for a junior high school unit containing the seventh and eighth grades and the first two years of high school, and having senior high school instruction or rather the last four years of instruction, to include the last two years of high school and the first two years of college. Provision could be made for students desiring to go to a university to leave at the end of the second year in their last four years of school. Santa Ana however, strongly favors the union plan a sentiment which practically all the rest of the districts share in, with the exception of Fullerton, which wants to keep its own junior college. The special committee was composed of J. A. Clayes, J. W. Harpsier, George Bolmer and Henry Ramm of this city; H. A. Lake of Garden Grove; W. C. Jerome and T. E. Stephenson of Santa Ana; L. W. Evans, Orange; Joseph Vavra, Huntington Beach. The law for the enlargement of union college districts provides for the appointment of a board of trustees for the handling of the affairs of the district by the county superintendent of education when the district is first formed, and the election of such trustees in the future.

Good Pool For Santiago Growers The Santiago Orange Growers' Association this week was forwarding to its members checks for valencia pool No. 1. Returns to the growers totaled $332,939.04, covering the period from May 6 to June 21, according to the announcement made here. There were 168,720 packed boxes in the pool, or 365 carloads. Sizes in the pool ran heavy, medium to smaller sizes, with 69 per cent of the pool being 216's and smaller. Reports stated that 740 cars have been shipped to date, which far exceeds last year's total shipment. This is approximately one-half of the shipment to be made this year. Seventeen regular sized carloads of oranges were sent out by the Santiago association in one day, and it is believed the figure sets a new record for the district. Considering the tremendous crop returns on the pool were good. Markets are said to be fully supplied and buyers are able to obtain the sizes desired at reasonable prices, consequently there has not been much demand for the small-sized oranges.
