VOLUME LIX ORANGE COUNTY COUNTY TRAFFIC TOLL AGAIN EIGHT WEEK-END MISHAPS RUN PARALLEL TO NUMBER OF TWO WEEKS AGO Former Anaheim Woman Doctor Meets Death in Auto Collision Near Midway City; Man When Car Overturns Near Olive, Is Treated in Local Sanitarium; Fullerton Boy Is Injured. Eight seems to be the jinx number for Orange county, for the past week-end and that of two weeks ago both saw that number of traffic accidents. This time, however, one was so serious that it resulted in death. Near noon on Sunday a head-on collision at Midway City took the life of School Board Wants to Have Northern J. C. The Placentia grammar school board in its meeting the first of the week, deviated from routine business long enough to pass a resolution favoring one Junior College for Northern Orange county, with the Santa Ana river as the southern boundary line. Louis Jacobson, board president, called the meeting to go over plans for the garage which is to be built for the school. Jacobson, chairman of the Associated Chambers of Commerce Committee, in order to get in touch with the grammar school boards of the northern county districts, said he would call some preliminary meetings before September 20, when a joint meeting is to be held. LeRoy Lyon, clerk of the board, speaking of a Junior College, said: "I'd like to see Fullerton go half way to get Anaheim to assist in forming this district. I agree with Anaheim that the site should be south of the hills." County Schools Get $1,250,000 Eight seems to be the jinx number for Orange county, for the past weekend and that of two weeks ago both saw that number of traffic accidents. This time, however, one was so serious that it resulted in death. Near noon on Sunday a head-on collision at Midway City took the life of Dr. Orlantha Bizd, 58 a Los Angeles chiropractor. Her husband, A. E. Bird, passing an automobile that was stopped along the road, hit the car coming in the opposite direction driven by Charles Mix of Corona. Bird following an automobile along the highway swerved out to miss hitting it as it suddenly stopped. Dr. Bird was a former Anaheimer and had resided in this state for 42 years, having come here from Iowa. Dr. Bird lived in Anaheim with her family some thirty-five years ago and will be remembered by old-timers as Miss Orlantha Hendrick. She has resided for some years past in Los Angeles and leaves her husband, A. E. Bird, her mother, Mrs. M. A. Hendrick; two daughters, Mrs. Ralph Williams and Mrs. C. H. Johnson, the latter of Washington; and two sisters, Mrs. Thomas G. Allender of Ventura and Mrs. Frederick Grasser of Riverside. Funeral services will be held in Santa Ana tomorrow (Friday). Interment in Fulphaven cemetery. Juan Padilla of Pico suffered cuts about the wrist, when his car overturned on the Anaheim road just east of the Olive bridge about 4:30 Saturday afternoon. Padilla got too far over on the shoulder of the road and got into the soft dirt where his car turned over. He was treated in the Anaheim hospital. Elmer F. Forbath, his wife and two young daughters, all of Huntington Park, were injured, the first rather seriously, as the result of an accident on Ocean avenue a mile west of the intersection with Huntington Beach boulevard, that took place about 9:30 Sunday night. The car somehow got off the highway and into an irrigation ditch. Forbath, treated at the Santa Ana Valley hospital, is reported to have a crushed chest and possibly a fractured skull. His family was not seriously hurt. A. Kratz, Winterburg, suffered a fractured skull Sunday afternoon when his touring car collided with a truck and trailer near the Standard Oil line camp west of Huntington Beach. His son, Jack, and R. Moulton and Jack Frees, the truck drivers, were slightly injured. The elder Kratz was taken to the Newport hospital. Two youths were slightly injured Saturday night at Twenty-first street and Newport, road Costa Mesa, when their car went out of control and struck a tree after scraping the fender of another car as they pased it at a high rate of speed. The victims, Allan Kid Fullerton and Doral Kingrey, of County Schools Get $1,250,000 Amount To Be Expended Over Next Two Years During the next two years Orange county will expend over 11,250,000 in education, says Governor Young's report of estimates. Of this amount $956,316.41 is to be spent on the elementary schools and $317,139.31 on the high schools, the report of the estimate states. But that total looks very small indeed when compared with the total for is figured will approximate $53,000,000 the 58 counties of the state, which it with $39,509,000 for elementary and $13,593,000 for high schools. A sum of $78,931,000 has been set aside in the governor's budget to pay off the department of education and teacher college and university support for the biennium. This shows that California is well aware of the importance of its educational program and means to keep in the front rank of the educational parade. Education is the second largest expense of the state government, being exceeded only by the highways in running up state costs. The highways require nearly half of the total expenditures of the state representing 44% of the total budget. Education takes 32% of the total and general activities, the balance of 24 per cent. Governor Young explained that the youngster who is running up a perfect attendance mark, either in elementary or high school, is alding his school to get more money for its support. County apportionments are based upon the average daily attendance of the preceding school year, each unit bringing $30 to the school. It was pointed out that last year the schools of California recorded the fewest absences in all their history. "A detailed study made of increases in school attendance since 1910 shows a rate of increase of 3.75 per year," said Governor Young. "A very marked increase was shown in the ratio of attendance to total enrollment, being 84.71 for the last school year. This figure, it is believed is the maximum that can be expected," the governor asserted. The leading position of all counties in the state in the matter of school expense for the coming two years will be held by Los Angeles county, where the total sum of $18,201,277 is expected to be expended during that period.

The victims, Allan Kilder, Fullerton, and Doral Kingrey, of Santa Ana, were reported seriously injured at the time of the accident, but examination at the Orange County hospital, where they were sent at the recommendation of Dr. Patterson, who was at the scene of the accident, and Santa Ana Valley hospital, where they were later taken, shows that they will recover. The other car involved was driven by Elmer E. Curry, Costa Mesa. Mrs. M. C. Curran, Los Angeles, and Mrs. W. Gertz, Los Angeles received painful injuries at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, when the car in which they were riding struck a double dip in a Santa Ana intersection at Seventeenth street and North Broadway, while travelling too fast, and threw them from their seats against the top of the car. Mrs. Curran was injured about the neck and nose and her companion was hurt about the back and hand. They were given first aid treatment, according to the report on file at police headquarters, and proceeded on their way. Mrs. Adeline B. Blies, Robert Blies, 21, and Fred Blies, 12, of 805 South Parton street, Santa Ana, received minor injuries Saturday afternoon when their car, driven by Robert, was involved in a collision with a car operated by S. B. Farquhar about three miles west of Westminster. The Blies car was about to go around two cars ahead of them when the car immediately ahead swung over without signalling, causing the Blies car to strike his bumper and rebound into the ditch. The injuries were dressed at the Santa Ana Valley hospital. The leading position of all counties in the state in the matter of school expense for the coming two years will be held by Los Angeles county, where the total sum of $18,201,277 is expected to be expended during that period. Alameda county stands next, according to the report, with $4,317,997, and San Francisco third, with $3,678,845. 1200 Scouts To Be In County Fair Youthful Organization to Assist the Fair Management and Visitors The 1,200 Boy Scouts of Orange county will take an active part in the Orange county fair, which opens Wednesday of next week. Following the precepts of Scout law, the khaki-clad youths' only purpose will be to give all possible assistance to the fair management and visitors whenever occasion arises. Camp activities of the Scouts will be portrayed in a contour map of the new Scout camp, which will be exhibited in the Junior Fair. Tiny figures will represent the boys in their tents, at the mess tables and engaged in other forms of camp routine. The Junior Fair will have the support of another and equally active group of boys, the Four-H Clubs of the county. These boys will exhibit fowls, rabbits, agricultural products and bees. In the Junior Fair prizes are to be awarded in art work, cooking, sewing, sheet metal work, electric work, music, nature study and other handiwork of the boys and girls of the county.

AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, August 22, 1929 COUNTY WATER USER GIVES OPINION ROSS SHAFER, TUSTIN RANCHER, ENDORSES UPPER SITE WITH AN “IF” Backer of Lower Site in Recent Election Would Favor Upper Site “If” Its Legal and Physical Condition Could Be Satisfactorily Met; Says Many Others Would Then Endorse Upper Site. Voicing the opinion that if the rights of Orange county water users would not be jeopardized were a dam to be built at the upper Prado damsite, Ross Shafer, prominent Tustin rancher, and a staunch supporter of the lower site in the recent $16,500,000 flood control bond election, has announced that he would be in favor of the site. Orange Athletes Get Jump On Anaheim Boys Following what has become a custom in the Orange High school, Coach Stewart White, football instructor at that institution and son of local hardware merchant, White, takes his football squad to the Orange County Boy Scout camp for a period of ten days, commencing August 31. Coach White has succeeded in incubating into the members of the team something of a fighting spirit and desire of co-operation, which have gone far in developing good teams at the neighboring city. It is to be hoped that the new coach at Anaheim will in a measure instill some of that spirit into the local team, so that the Jump Orange is getting now will count for nothing when the two schools tangle this fall. Welfare Dept. Aids the Blind Walter Gregg, Its Director, In Charge of Bill MUCH TRAVELED CROSSING MAY BE HELPED STATE MAY CONSTRUCT OVERHEAD CROSSING AT NEWPORT ROAD Letter to Board of Supervisors From C. H. Purcell, State Highway Commissioner, Says Matter Will Be Brought Up Before State Highway Commission Next Month; No Immediate Aid Available. When the State of California considers its next biennial budget it will include among other things for Orange county, funds for the construction of an overhead crossing at the intersection of the Newport-Santa Ana road and the new coast highway, is the belief of C. H. Purcell, state highway engineer in a communication received Site "If" Its Legal and Physical Condition Could Be Satisfactorily Met; Says Many Others Would Then Endorse Upper Site. Voicing the opinion that if the rights of Orange county water users would not be jeopardized were a dam to be built at the upper Prado damsite, Ross Shafer, prominent Trustin rancher, and a staunch supporter of the lower site in the recent $16,500,000 flood control bond election, has announced that he would be in favor of the upper site. The statement followed a Monday meeting of the sub-committee of the Associated Chemers of Commerce Water Conservation Committee of which Shafer is a member, at the offices of the farm advisor in Santa Ana. The legal and physical conditions regarding using the stream at the upper site would, of course, have to be so dealt with that water users in the county would be satisfied. In that event, Mr. Shafer believes, that many other Orange county people would favor the upper site. Shafer said that he was speaking strictly for himself, and that he did not wish to appear to be committing other members of the committee in the matter. He also emphasized the fact that he had preceded his statement with the word "if." One of the duties of the sub-committee is to investigate the legal and physical aspects of the upper site in respect to the rising streams there. The group also has been charged with the work of determining what investigation has been made at the upper site. Members of the sub-committee, who attended the meeting were Shafer, H. A. Lake, Garden Grove, chairman; Mrs. Susanna Bixby Bryant, Santa Ana Canyon, secretary; James Irvine, Jr., of the Irvine Ranch; and John Tuffree of Placentia. The committee has not reached any decision in its work and will not make known its findings until it makes its report to the general committee. It has found its chief source of information regarding the upper Prado site in the report of Paul Bailey, former flood control engineer for the district, and the minutes of the meetings of the board of supervisors and advisory committee. The minutes have shown what efforts were made in connection with the project and also have showed what instructions were given to Bailey by the supervisors for carrying on his work. It is said that the sub-committee has found that the minutes showed the supervisors to have been disinterested in the matter and that they stressed the factors of safety economy and performance rather than the question of location of the proposed dam. The sub-committee will meet again on September 3, two days before the general meeting. By then it may be able to report its findings. Return From Northern Trip Welfare Dept. Aids the Blind Walter Gregg, Its Director, In Charge of Bill Details of assembly bill No. 117, affecting the distribution of state aid to the needy blind, which went into effect on the 14th, have been filed in the county clerk's office awaiting action of the board of supervisors, which will work with the state department of social welfare in administering such aid. Word from Mrs. Anna L. Taylor director in the state department, both the blind of the state and the interested public have been working for many years to secure adequate relief from public funds for California's needy blind citizens. To this end, three different bills, introduced in the latest legislature, tended to provide this aid. Assembly bill No. 117 was presented by the blind citizens. Its administration was placed in the department of social welfare, which will follow the procedure used in administering state aid to needy children. The individual counties, it seems to the directors, will wish to use the same agencies now handling the aid to children. The law throws upon the county all burden of proof as to eligibility to receive such aid, and need of it. In verifying all applications for aid under the new bill, the state department will expect each county to use those methods which the best practice of social welfare demands with other social problems involving the payment of relief funds. Application blanks to be filled out by those applying for aid under the new bill will be mailed immediately to county welfare workers and any points of policy which may not be understood by such applicants may be taken up with the nearest district office of the department. In any local matter, this would be with the Orange county welfare department of which Walter S. Gregg of Orange is director, and Mrs. Carrie Leebrick of Santa Ana assistant director. Application for aid on such forms must be made out with every item sworn to by the applicant, accompanied by affidavits from two reputable citizens as to his residential qualifications, and one from a practicing physician as to the condition of his eyes and the degree of blindness. Three degrees of blindness are recognized, total, which means a complete loss of sight; relative, where fingers may be counted at a distance of three feet but moving objects not discerned, and practical where moving objects may be discerned at a distance of nine feet, but no useful vision is present. The law defines the needy blind as some of that spirit into the local team, so that the jump Orange is getting now will count for nothing when the two schools tangle this fall. When its State of California considers its next biennial budget it will include among other things for Orange county, funds for the construction of an overhead crossing at the intersection of the Newport-Santa Ana road and the new coast highway, is the belief of C. H. Purcell, state highway engineer in a communication received by the board of supervisors and read by County Clerk Joe Backs before that body in its meeting this week. A survey of the entire situation will be made by the state for the purpose of determining the conditions there, and the need of improved safety conditions. Estimates will be prepared for consideration in arranging the budget for the next biennium, said the communicator. The latter was in reply to a request made by the supervisors some time ago for state investigation of the matter. When the State Highway Commission and the Director of Public Works hold their next meeting on the fifth of September, their attention, said Purcell, will be called to the matter of the intersection. The county must however, practice patience for all funds for highway construction for the next two years have been budgeted. No funds are available for such work at present, and state aid might be obtained only through the following two years' budget for highway construction. Fullerton Principal Speaks On J. C. Louis Plummer Spends Some Time Discussing Anaheim Louis E. Plummer, Fullerton high school principal and a member of the Fullerton Kiwanus Club, addressed the club at its weekly meeting on Monday speaking on the Junior College problem of Orange county. An invitation has been sent to all the principals and trustees of the grammar schools in union high school district to attend at a meeting at the high school cafeteria September 29, to help the high school trustees to discover the attitude of the district in regard to having Anaheim and Brea join the junior college district. If the representatives of the grammar schools favor having Anaheim and Brea in the district, the trustees will petition to have the two towns join the district and it will then be up to Anaheim and Brea to make the decision. That part of his address concerning Anaheim follows: "It is true that should Anaheim join either ofthe existing junior colleges her tax rate would be increased. But an increase is quite certain, regardless of whether she joins or stays out, because ofthe increased number of coun- It is said that the sub-committee has found that the minutes showed the supervisors to have been disinterested in the matter and that they stressed the factors of safety economy and performance rather than the question of location of the proposed dam. The sub-committee will meet again on September 3, two days before the general meeting. By then it may be able to report its findings. Return From Northern Trip Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, Mrs. Sophie Stock and Miss Clem Backs returned on Sunday from a sixteen-day motor trip to points of interest in the northern part of this state, Oregon and Washington, their ultimate destination being Vancouver. They took the Redwood highway from San Francisco north to Seattle, returning by way of the Coast Highway. At Seattle they took the boat for Vancouver, where they spent several happy days sightseeing. In San Francisco they visited with Mrs. Miller, formerly Miss Sophie Heyerman, an aunt of Mrs. Stock, and Miss Backs and a pioneer of Anaheim. At Paso Robles they met Herman Dickel, Ted Dickel and wife Percy Dickel, who were returning from a visit to Arnold Dickel and family, who reside in Napa. Dr. H. A. Johnston Addresses Rotarians Dr. H. A. Johnston of the Johnston-Wickett clinic, addressed fellow Rotarians at their meeting this week with an account of his trip to England and the Continent. Together with his wife, Dr. Johnston has been traveling abroad for many weeks and only last week returned to his new home south of the city. His youngest daughter, Jessie, together with his oldest daughter and son-in-law, are leaving for a month's trip in the north. must be made out with every item sworn to by the applicant, accompanied by affidavits from two reputable citizens as to his residential qualifications, and one from a practicing physician as to the condition of his eyes and the degree of blindness. Three degrees of blindness are recognized, total, which means a complete loss of sight; relative, where fingers may be counted at a distance of three feet but moving objects not discerned, and practical where moving objects may be discerned at a distance of nine feet, but no useful vision is present. The law defines the needy blind as those whose impairment of vision prevents self support, and who have insufficient means for self-maintenance, and no relatives legally responsible and financially able to assume their care. Applicants must have reached the age of 16 and lived in the county for one year prior to asking such aid. Nor will financial aid under this act be given to one in an institution supported wholly or in part by tax funds and only to those whose incomes from all sources, including state and county aid, will not exceed $1,000 a year. Woman Sues After 41 Years Forty years and ten months of married life went on the rocks when Nora Mae Rhinard, through her attorneys Dilehl and Anderson, Costa Mesa, filed suit for divorce from Irwin Freese Rhinard, to whom she was wedded September 4, 1888, and from whom she separated July 3, 1928. Mrs. Rhinard charges desertion in her complaint, asserting that for a year prior to the defendant's leaving her, he had failed to provide for her and had become abusive to such an extent that he declared "I am tired of the whole bunch of you!". There were seven children by the marriage, ranging in age from the eldest daughter, 40 years old, to the youngest, a son, Carleton Rhinard, 18, of whom the plaintiff asks full custody and control. DEATH OF MRS. DIEHL Mrs. Julia A. Diehl, a resident of this city for the past ten years, died on Friday last in Mollne, Ill., where she was visiting relatives and friends. Mrs. Diehl had just built a new home on South Lemon street and had gone to her old home to secure some household goods and furniture which she had stored in that place. Mrs. Diehl's first husband, George E. Diehl, bought the Valencia hotel some ten years ago and died several years later. The widow afterward married Philip R. Diehl, who passed away a couple of years ago. The body was brought to this city for burial and funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon in Backs, Terry and Campbell chapel at 2 o'clock.

MAY FORM NEW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ORANGE, RIVERSIDE AND SAN BERNARDINO IN NEW ALLIGNMENT Republican County Central Committee to Meet at Riverside Friday Evening, To Discuss Plan of Re-Districting; Informal Discussions of Groups Indicate Possible Creation of Tri-County District. When the Republican County Central Committee of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties meet at the courthouse in Riverside, Friday evening at 8 p.m., the question of redistricting the three counties into one congressional district will be the prime matter of consideration. Florida Pest Being Fought Depredations of Fly May Affect Florida Pest Being Fought Depredations of Fly May Affect Annual Fruit Income of Sixty Millions Approximate figures on the damage done by the Mediterranean fruit fly in Florida, and the further damage which may follow if the pest is not eradicated have just been offered by the government's national committee of seven experts, including Prof. H. J. Quayle, entomologist at the University of California, in a report just released. Thirty-four per cent of the land area containing 72 per cent of the bearing citrus trees in Florida is involved in the district infested by the fly. On a three-year average this district has produced 80 per cent of the carload shipments from Florida. This means that the depredations of the fly may affect an annual fruit income of $60,000,000, and that they threaten a capital investment of $300,000,000. The members of the committee, Vernon Kellogg, T. P. Headlee, V. R. Gardner, T. P. Cooper, G. A. Dean and H. A. Morgan, in addition to Professor Quayle further point out if immediate steps are not taken to assure the eradication of the pest, and it manages to invade the fruit districts of the South and West, growers may lose a capital investment of $1,800,000,000, and an annual income of $240,000,000. Such a catastrophe would have a direct effect not only upon the growers, but also on the consumers. A nationwide infestation of the fruit fly might effect a reduction of 25 or even 50 per cent in the crops susceptible to its attack and this would increase the cost of fruit to the consumer by about 24 per cent. Concerning the possibility of overcoming the pest, they say: "Basing its judgment on careful observation, the results of research and the progress toward eradication that has been made in the past three months, the committee considers eradication practicable under present known conditions. This will require vigorous effort, large additions to present forces, fearless action maintenance of the full co-operation of Florida citizens and ample funds promptly available." Herocic efforts have already been made to stop the spread of the fly and stamp it out. The committee reports that centers of infestation have been so thoroughly cleaned that it is now difficult to find traces of the fly in any life stage, although there have been accessions to the infected area. The committee believes advisable a system of certification permitting the acceptance of fruits and vegetables. Plan of Re-Districting; Informal Discussions of Groups Indicate Possible Creation of Tri-County District. When the Republican County Central Committee of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties meet at the courthouse in Riverside, Friday evening at 8 p.m., the question of redistricting the three counties into one congressional district will be the prime matter of consideration. When Congress finally passed the re-apportionment act last year giving California approximately seven new congressmen, which the population of the state had warranted for some time previous to the passage of the act, a local problem came up in many states whose representation either increased or decreased. Congressman Phil D. Swing is the only representative for six southern counties at present, whereas the three counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino contain enough population in themselves for a vote in the House. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the Orange county committee; stated that informal discussions of the three committees indicated the strong possibility of the tri-counties congressional district being created. If any recommendations are to be made as a result of the conclave, they probably would be made through Congressman Swing. Talbert stated. The Orange county central committeemen who will attend the meeting are Talbert, Earl Abbye, secretary; Frank Tausch, Anaheim; Stanley Reinhaus, Santa Ana; Howard B. Irwin, Fullerton; C. F. Newton, Orange and John Osterman, Tustin. Merchants Gather at Morning Meeting At the meeting of the Anaheim Merchants and Manufacturers' Association held Tuesday morning in the city hall, plans were laid for a dinner on the night of September 3, to start off the season of fall business. At that time the association will hold its election and the new officers will be chosen by a vote from the floor. At the morning meeting the annual Hallowe'en party on the down-town streets was discussed. This, an event of October, has become quite a custom in Anaheim and is always an attraction to the surrounding country. Market Conditions To Be Discussed Experts to Consider Problems of Valencia Growers The perplexing market situation which has confronted valencia orange growers in the Southland as a result of the unusually large crop on the trees will be the object of discussion by Market Conditions To Be Discussed Experts to Consider Problems of Valencia Growers The perplexing market situation which has confronted valencia orange growers in the Southland as a result of the unusually large crop on the trees will be the object of discussion by experts at a meeting to be held Friday in the Orange Union High school, according to an announcement made by Norman M. Blaney executive secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau. The latest and most complete information available on the subject will be brought to light for the benefit of the growers, who will gather at 7:30 p.m. in the school, coming from throughout Orange county and Southern California. As a result of the session, growers are expected to have facts at their disposal which will aid them materially in meeting market conditions of the present season. The Villa Park-Olive Farm centers are sponsoring the gathering and the affair will be open to all who are interested in the subject of valencia oranges, Blaney said. Dana King, Sales manager of the California Fruit Growers' exchange, will discuss the market situation, condition of the crop and the price outlook for the present harvest. Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock of Orange county, will outline the pest control program for citrus orchard. Several vocal and instrumental numbers will comprise the entertainment program. Captain Marcus Andrade of the Anaheim police department; returned to his duties Monday, following a vacation spent at San Jose. Raymond Andrade, his son, and wife of Ventura, have been recent visitors in the Andrade home.
