THE NEWS REVIEW A journal covering the week's affairs of Southern California that is a regular part of the Gazette, and brings the news well written. VOLUME LIX J. C. DISTRICT MEMORIAL TWO ARE KILLED IN HOLIDAY ACCIDENTS NINETEEN PERSONS INJURED, SOME SERIOUSLY, OVER WEEK-END Miss Wilma Armstrong of Ontario Killed Sunday Near Cypress; W. C. Cooper, Sailor, Riding Motorcycle With Two Other Sailors, Runs Head-on Into a Car and is Instantly Killed; Few Mishaps Around Anaheim. A young woman, 18 years of age, and a sailor from the fleet at San Pedro were killed, while some nineteen persons were injured over last week-end. In nearly every case the accident was State Traffic Cops Having Tough Sledding It looks as though the state "Coppers" in Orange county will have to do a little insurance business on the side, for their last checks were so low that this seems to be their only alternative if they don't choose to go on the 18-day fast. When the monthly stipends came around this month from Sacramento they were for $115.32 each instead of the usual $275. August 14 saw the assumption by the state of all county traffic squads. The checks sent down this week were that part of the wages which the county is obliged to pay. As the state has reached no decision on just how much money to add to the county's amount, the checks that the officers have now will have to do them 'till the state figures the problem out. Come Another Day, Rain! TRAGEDY AT BRINGS DOWN SORROW MRS. JOHN ELEY SINKING OF ILLUSTRATION SAN JUAN Her Husband, John Also in Wreck, Malicious Escape; Take Francisco, Calls For Goes North to Meet Parent; Painful Ruining Reinold Feared He Went Down the Ship. When the ill-fated vessel turned in two by the Standing S. C. T. Dodd, sank into the California coast last Friday down with it the mother of Miss Wilma Armstrong of Ontario Killed Sunday Near Cypress; W. C. Cooper, Sailor, Riding Motorcycle With Two Other Sailors, Runs Head-on Into a Car and is Instantly Killed; Few Mishaps Around Anaheim. A young woman, 18 years of age, and a sailor from the fleet at San Pedro were killed, while some nineteen persons were injured over last week-end. In nearly every case the accident was resultant from recklessness, and certainly that was the cause of the two fatalities. Danger on the highways was of course enlarged because of the density of the traffic along the county roads which, county traffic officers say, was the heaviest ever handled here. An automobile collision Sunday evening about 7 o'clock at the intersection of North Palma and Walker street, Cypress, caused the death of Wilma Armstrong, Ontario, and injuries to her 16-year-old sister, Edna, and two sailors who were with them. The girl was driving northward at a high rate of speed when the front wheels of her car collided with those of a car driven by N. Watu, Buena Park Japanese, and her car overturned. She was instantly killed. Two Los Angeles deputy sheriffs from the Norwalk substation, who first arrived at the scene, took the occupants of both cars to Artesia. The body of he girl was transported from an Artesia hospital to the Hilgenfeld funeral parlors. Edna Armstrong is in a serious condition and one of the sailors was injured, as was the Japanese. The two sailors were off the aeroplane carrier Lexington, anchored at San Pedro, and were able later to return to their ship. Early in the evening of Labor Day an accident occurred near Los Alamitos which took the life of W. C. Cooper, sailor from the U. S. S. Maryland, Cooper, together with two sailor companions, F. A. Gehrett and F. R. Rooney, was riding a motorcycle and in turning out around a car to pass it, crashed head-on into an automobile coming from the opposite direction. Al Swinger, who was driving the car, was badly cut and bruised, while Mrs. S. Jordan, a passenger, was critically hurt. Johnny Solario, young El Modeno youth, was knocked down and slightly injured at 11 o'clock Monday morning by an automobile driven by J Bernhard Luth, 218 Mills Drive, this city, according to a report filed at the sheriff's office. The youth was walking in the road and did not see the approach of the car, according to a report filed by Luth. He was taken to his home where it was said his injuries were not serious. Henry Ruesch, Olive rancher, was treated at the Santa Ana Valley hospital Monday for cuts and bruises received in an automobile accident. No one was injured when an automobile driven by P. V. Huddleston of this city, route No. 1, collided with another machine at Clare and Magnolia avenues, at 10 o'clock Monday morning Huddleston made an accident report at Come Another Day, Rain! Lima Bean Crop Threatened By Early Morning Mists Farmers of Orange county who have lima beans for their crop are praying for all this early mist to go away. Their hundreds of acres of lima beans are lying cut and stacked and drying in the fields awaiting the bean thresher. A rain will do heavy damage to this crop. Already the bean crop is short, due to worms and unfavorable weather conditions. A soaking rain at this time would ruin what prospects of crop are left to the bean growers. The mist that began falling yesterday morning is doing some damage to beans, just how much depends upon the amount of moisture that occurs. Ardund Huntinton Beach there are several thousand acres in beans and on the Irvine ranch extending inland from Newport Bay, a ranch that contains over 90,000 acres, there are literally miles of lima beans with the crop harvest now under full swing. Harvesting of sugar beets is also under way in this part of Orange county. The beets are said to be of good sugar content and average tonnage or better. The rain will do only slight damage to the beet crop, as the farmers are rushing their beets to the sugar plant in Santa Ana and the crop in many fields is practically harvested and marketed. In the hay fields the harvest is also on, with the hay mowed and in windows in many fields. Sunday and Monday many farmers took warning of the unsettled weather conditions and gathered hay from the fields that had not been fully cured, spreading the half cured hay loosely in sheds and under shelter to protect from rain. The damage to alfalfa from a rain will not be as great as percent as will occur to beans if the present weather conditions do not clear, or if further mist and rain fall. The balmy clouds and lightly falling rain or mist brought a welcome relief from the intense heat of the past several days. Flower gardens and lawns in the cities welcomed the rain.

The sales brought the year to date aggregate to $6,783,195. This will be exceeded by two or three millions before the end of the season. October 31, it was declared. During the year to date the exchange has shipped 4,081 cars of oranges and 650 cars of lemons. In August the exchange shipped 1,215 cars of oranges of 462 boxes each, and 101 cars of lemons of 348 boxes each. Lemon sales were unusually good in August and they are selling in Chicago at the present time at $15 per box. It was said. It was the hot weather throughout the middle west and east which was responsible in a large measure for the big sales during the past month, said exchange officials.

Attracting the largest crowds in history, the Orange County Fair came to a close on Monday evening, proclaimed by all as a resplendent success. During the six days that it ran, some 70,000 people, 10,000 more than visited it last year, passed through the gates to view Anaheim School Door When seniors reach their registration and the brief session is held in the auditorium with an assembly work will be out the morn of Tuesday the high school year of 1929.

Also in Wreck, Makes Miraculous Escape; Taken to San Francisco, Calls For Son, Who Goes North to Meet Injured Parent; Painful Rumor Concerning Reinold Schellens; Feared He Went Down With the Ship. When the ill-fated vessel San Juan torn in two by the Standard Oil tanker S. C. T. Dodd, sank into the sea off the California coast last Friday, it took down with it the mother of an Anaheim family, Mrs. John E. Eley, and it is to be feared, Reinold Schellens, also well known here. Mrs. Eley and her husband had left Anaheim a few days before the disaster for San Francisco on a pleasure trip. Summer was fast drawing to a close and it was their desire to take a few days' rest before their three children should again enter school. After a few days' vacation they boarded the San Juan bound for Los Angeles to again resume their work in this city, where Mr. Eley manages the family's orange ranch and Mrs. Eley was proprietor of a well-known beauty parlor on West Center street. The couple had not yet retired when midnight came, and were seated in their stateroom when the crash came. When the survivors were taken to San Francisco, Mr. Eley badly injured as a result of his terrifying experience issued a brief statement: "It was just midnight," he said, "and we were about to retire. Suddenly I heard three blasts of a steamer's whistle. The San Juan instantly replied with three blasts. "I knew something was wrong and rushed on deck, shouting to my wife to get her coat on. I saw the Dodd loom through the fog and darkness. Then there was a terrific crash and I was thrown to the deck. The prow of the Dodd struck us almost amidships. The San Juan shuddered and heeled over and both ships swung so that they were lying alongside each other." "I got up and rushed toward the stateroom to get my wife, but the San Juan went down like a stone, and I found myself struggling in a whirlpool of icy water which was sucking me under. Then I felt something grasp me, and the next I knew I was on board the Dodd. My wife was bucked down by the whirlpool, I believe." John Eley, Jr., sophomore student at Southern California, left immediately for San Francisco. His father was removed to a hotel from an emergency hospital and is reported to be improving. Two other children, Roberta, a sophomore student at Santa Ana Junior College, and Bob, a freshman at Anaheim high, are staying with the Seitz family south of Anaheim. As for Reinold Schellens, formerly of Anaheim, now residing in Wilmington, his absence from work Sunday morning led his two daughters Mrs. E. E. Pyles of Long Beach and Mrs. Bernard Dresser of Olive, to investigate his whereabouts. Schellens had purchased a round-trip ticket on the lines of the Kiwians Dedicate Mountain Lodge Idylwild Scene of Happy Outing of Anaheim Club The Anaheim Kiwians Club returned to normal at their luncheon on Tuesday after a three-day outing, at which time their new mountain lodge was dedicated. The mountain-top retreat was the scene of a gala event long to be remembered in the history of the club. A large percentage of the membership accompanied by their families was in attendance. The lodge dedication service was in charge of Kiwiian Ben Haywood, under whose direction an inspiring ritualistic program was given. President Joe Collings made the formal presentation of the lodge to the club in a fine address. Bill Wallop and Roscoe Young of the committee in charge, told some of the inside information on how it was done. The committee in charge composed of John Price, Wallel Franzen, Bill Wallop and Roscoe Young, deserve much credit for the way the building was erected. Mrs. Henry Adams spoke for the women and thanked the club for the fine time and entertainment. Monday afternoon was the time selected for the formal dedication. The committee made arrangements to have Bob Mills and his Elks Club staff furnish all meals for the three days. In this way the members were allowed their full time for golf, swimming, horshoes, horse-back riding and many other enjoyable diversions. Several of the members returned home Tuesday morning from Idylwild after some fifteen minutes' sleep that night, and as a consequence were inclined to nod at the meeting. A lively discussion on who was the champion horseshoe pitcher managed, however, to keep most of them awake. The meeting was turned over to Dr. Ben Haywood chairman of the day. He most ably introduced the Rev. Edward Burgi, pastor of the Salem Evangelical church. Rev. Burgi gave an interesting talk on the fundamentals of a successful community. County Receives State Tax Fund Lemon sales were unusually good in August and they are selling in Chicago at the present time at $15 per box. It was said. It was the hot weather throughout the middle west and east which was responsible in a large measure for the big sales during the past month, said exchange officials. Attracting the largest crowds in history, the Orange County Fair came to a close on Monday evening, proclaimed by all as a resplendent success. During the six days that it ran, some 70,000 people, 10,000 more than visited it last year, passed through the gates to view the displays. With so many adverse conditions at the present time, the breaking of all attendance records is a great achievement, and one that no doubt would have been greatly surpassed but for those conditions. There was the intense heat during the days of the show, so much in fact that on Monday one boy, who had some throat trouble which affected his breathing, was overcome by the high temperature and fainted while viewing the exhibits. The county highway between this city and Santa Ana was so badly torn up that it was rather difficult to travel over it, yet with both these difficulties, the beauty of the fair was so widely advertised that its attendance records were shattered. Attendance at the rodeo for its three days' presentation was said to be greater than in any previous year, and its crowds during the last day were both large and enthusiastic. The program of riding, bulldogging and other feats of these hard-bitten riders of the western plains was received with enthusiasm and was interrupted by only two minor accidents. Slim Riley was caught by the rope when he leaped from his steer, but refused to go to the hospital when the ambulance arrived. At the county hospital, where no less than three "bronco busters" were taken for injuries, it was said that none were seriously hurt, nor was their ardor for riding dampened in the least. The dog show proved to be of particular interest when it was presented on the last two days of the show. The tent where the widely varied entries were shown was one of the most popular spots on the grounds and the barking, yelping canines attracted appreciative crowds all afternoon and evening. Eight drum corps competed for the championship on Sunday afternoon's program by the American Legion Various Legion posts of Southern California were represented. The Maywood bugle and drum corps was awarded first place. Feverly Hills took second place, the large Los Angeles corps in third and San Diego fourth. The state champion Lon Beach corps was not placed but nevertheless had a leading part in the evening's program, being selected to sound "taps" at the conclusion. Orange county drum corps, as hosts, were not in the competition. In the absence of a band, the Santa Ana corps provided accompaniment for the drills and maneuvers of the visiting corps. This drum corps also led the livestock parade in the afternoon.

Riley, state controller. The state allotted a total of $221,292.62 to the counties and kept an equal sum for itself, $50,062.39 being due the counties under the 1925 law, which was discarded in 1927, as one-half of the total delinquent taxes collected since the law became inactive. An apportionment of $171,230.23 was made under the 1927 law. The portion due Orange county was $1,258.50 under the transportation license tax law, and $4,180.74 under the gross receipt tax law. Postmaster Shows Good Report Postal receipts for last month showed a considerable gain over those of corresponding months in previous years, with a boost of $68345, according to Postmaster J. H. Whitaker. Receipts for August totalled $4,070.80 the postmaster revealed. Last August they were $3,387.35. To date this year Anaheim postal receipts have shown an increase of $1,825.04. For the first eight months this year the total was $34,124.26. The first eight months of last year brought a total of $32,299.22. The Maywood bugle and drum corps was awarded first place. Feverly Hills took second place, the large Los Angeles corps in third and San Diego fourth.

This drum corps also led the livestock parade in the afternoon. An extrordinary well conducted presentation, this season's county fair was by far the best ever staged and offers a great standard for future exhibits to better. HOME FROM WORLD TOUR Perry Whiting, who is being welcomed home by employees and friends, following a trip around the world. Declaring that they were glad to be home again, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Whiting were greeted by a host of friends on their return from a trip around the world, which started last February. Mr. Whiting, president of the Whiting-Mead Building Material company of Los Angeles and San Diego, made the trip as a combination vacation and investigation of business and building conditions throughout the world. Working and living conditions of residents of foreign lands were the object of particular study by Mr. Whiting, who said: "For many years I have looked forward to this trip, and now that I have gained first-hand knowledge of those things, I can say that Southern California leads the world in modern sanitary homes. Compared to the misery and poverty of the working classes in many lands, people that live in Southern California enjoy the luxuries of kings, in my opinion." Mrs. Emma Grimshaw and daughter, Miss Alice Grimshaw, returned the past week from a month's trip to the Hawaiian Islands. They report a delightful vacation. On the ship going over were Mrs. Edith Wallop Swartz and Mrs. Helen Mathewson Laughlin. A brief explanation cational plans followed as used at Fuller first eight grades and the next four and the thirteen grades in a junior plan, which Santos with six grades in the next four in and the last four in 6-3-3 plan, wrammar and high two more years inlege course, if desired.

Summer has seen many changes in the high school grounds. Buildings have been painted, repairs have been going on in the buildings and the athletic fields are in good shape. Football in Anaheim will be played on a real turf this year, a fact for which high school caretakers are indeed to be thanked. There are several changes and additions in the faculty, the most widely known of which is that of Ben Carpenter to the position of head coach. He faces a problem of moulding something of a team from what material remains from last year—a task by no means easy. The last few years have seen a rise in enthusiasm in high school sports among local business men, a reason, no doubt, why local athletics have been coming to the front. PROPOSE A J. C. TO SOUTH OF ANAHEIM SANTA ANA BOARD OF EDUCATION FAVORS UNION COLLEGE IDEA Wants Institution On the Road Between Anaheim and Santa Ana To Do For the Southern Half of the County, at Least; Meeting on Sent. 17 Will Include Local School Board; Will Discuss Various Problems At That Time. Set upon a desire to erect a union junior college between Anaheim and Santa Ana that will, at least, do for the southern half of Orange county, the Santa Ana board of education in a New College Plan Is Urged Ralph McFadden Gives Ideas Before Placentia C. of C. Speaking before the Placentia Chamber of Commerce Tuesday, Ralph McFadden, member of the junior college committee of the Associated Chamber of Commerce, said after expressing his personal preference for one centrally located junior college, that this would be an impossibility because of the attitude of both Fullerton and Santa Ana. His solution of the problem would then be to build junior colleges in both cities to be governed by one county junior college board; and each college specializing in certain subjects, patterning after the state university. His talk followed one given by Melbourne Gauer, superintendent of the grammar schools, on the same subject. Mr. Gauer, speaking in a personal and unofficial manner, stated that in his opinion one Orange county junior college was all that the county could efficiently support. At the present time, he pointed out, the county has no capital outlay in college buildings, as both institutions are using high school buildings. The erection of buildings for two junior colleges would raise taxes without justification and also would require the duplication of the teaching staff as well as subjects taught, while the number of students who would attend the two colleges could very well be taken care of by one, said Mr. Gauer. Admitting that his personal preference was for one college, located near the county farm, he pointed out the fact that the county has a great deal of money invested in that locality, in the fair grounds, the county hospital and the farm, and that practical training in these county institutions might be made a valuable part of the school curriculum. While Orange county is one of the finest agricultural counties in the state, it has only the most meager facilities for study along this line. A brief explanation of the three educational plans followed, the 5-4.2 plan as used at Fullerton, which keeps the first eight grades in the grammar school and the next four in the high school, and the thirteenth and fourteenth Wants Institution On the Road Between Anaheim and Santa Ana To Do For the Southern Half of the County, at Least; Meeting on Sent. 17 Will Include Local School Board; Will Discuss Various Problems At That Time. Set upon a desire to erect a union junior college between Anaheim and Santa Ana that will, at least, do for the southern half of Orange county, the Santa Ana board of education, in a special meeting Tuesday evening, is sending invitations to six high school districts to combine with Santa Ana for the proposed institution. It is idle folly to presume that three junior colleges can thrive in the county if the words of educators from leading California universities are to be taken. The university people expressed the view that the 6-4-4 plan—that of combining the last two years of high school and the first two years of college into one unit—is coming more into prominence. The 6-4-4 plan is not completely in accord with the plans of John Cranston superintendent of schools in Santa Ana. He believes that the junior college combined with the junior and senior years of high school was all right, but that a junior high school of four grades was not feasible. Cranston stated that it would be necessary to have two duplicate plants to accommodate the four grades, which would be very expensive. The three years of junior high school work were planned to help the student find himself and experiment for later life, and that four years of such work would be too much. He recommended that the 6-3-3-plus junior college plan now in effect be continued, but to change the finishing courses so as to dovetail more easily into one another. He produced figures proving that by combining the six adjacent union high school districts into a union junior college district, four times more assessed valuation would be included than now exists in Santa Ana alone. With the added resources, the new college could easily be the peer of all schools of that nature and offer adequate curricula and instruction in well equipped buildings. D. K. Hammond, president of Santa Ana Junior College, stated that he was still in favor of the 6-4-4 plan, but that Santa Ana was hardly big enough to support such a plan. W. C. Jerome, president of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce, and Terry Stephenson, the city's postmaster, both of whom are active in the campaign for the new college, also explained the situation to the board and pictured the need for immediate action.

Miss Lillian Clabaugh, who has been spending the summer vacation with her mother, Mrs. Julia Clabaugh, and other relatives in the city, left by motor on Saturday for Jerome, Arizona, where she teaches in the public schools.
