ITS MANY ATTRACTIONS Make Anaheim a city eminently desirable for home and industry alike, California's climate, Orange county soil, and its own progressiveness make it "one in a million." VOLUME LX H. S. TRUSTEES FALL SCHOOL BOARDS DISCUSS JUNIOR COLLEGE ANAHEIM AND FULLERTON H. S. TRUSTEES HOLD JOINT MEETING Little Harmony in the Session as Anaheim Favors County-wide District and Fullerton Demands a Northern Orange County District; Fullerton Trustees Will Petition Supervisors in Behalf of Their Project, and a Hearing Will Be Called. Fullerton is unalterably opposed to the formation of Orange county into one junior college district, and is also just as Jacob Wintter Passes Away Aged Pioneer Resident Here Since 1870; Death Causes Regret Jacob Philip Wintter died at his home, 519 E. Broadway on Wednesday evening, October 2, at 9:30 o'clock. He was conscious to within a short time of the end and conversed freely with neighbors who called in to see him. Speaking to Louis Bushard during the afternoon, he said that he was feeling well, but had eaten nothing that day or the day before, adding with a smile that his living expenses were now very light. Death was due to infirmities of advancing age. With him at the end were his wife and members of the family. The funeral occurred on Saturday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. Smeltzer of the German Lutheran church conducted the obsequies, and many pioneer friends and former associates were present. A wealth of floral emblems embowered the casket. Interment was made in Anaheim Cemetery. Mr. Wintter came to Anaheim Sept. 16, 1870. On his arrival at Los Angeles he headed of the Courishing colony here Fullerton is unalterably opposed to the formation of Orange county into one junior college district, and is also just as determined in its support of a northern Orange county district. This was the sentiment expressed by members of the high school board of that city at a joint meeting of the Anaheim and Fullerton trustees held in Principal Claye's office Tuesday evening. Fullerton announced the determination of that city and other districts to form the district irrespective of Anaheim's attitude. At a mass meeting called by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce recently, unanimous opposition against the project was expressed, but the Fullerton board refused to accept this as the will of the people of Anaheim. "Not only are we not convinced that the sentiment expressed at the recent mass meeting is not representative of your district, but we firmly believe that on the other hand, the majority sentiment favors inclusion in the proposed north county union district." S.C. Hartranft, president of the Fullerton board, declared in explaining the reason his board had decided to file a petition with the county supervisors for the formation of the new district. "But we feel," he said, "that it is our duty to the people in your district to give them opportunity to decide this question at the polls." "It is our opinion that the Anaheim board is as anxious definitely to sound out the sentiment in its district as we are, and we are certainly ready to stand upon whatever decision is made at the polls." In order to place the matter before the people of the Anaheim district, the Fullerton board will present a petition to the county board of supervisors, who will then be forced by law to set a date for a hearing and give time for the filing of protests. If a protest signed by 20 per cent of the citizens of Anaheim is filed with the board, an election will be called to settle the matter. In event such petition is not filed, the board has power to act in forming a union district. Members of the Anaheim board, through Dr. J. W. Harpster, chairman and spokesman, declared that they were left no choice in the matter, excepting to favor a county junior college and could not approve of any action Fullerton might take under the new law to press the issue to a vote. S.C. Hartranft and other members of the Fullerton board declared that they had no intention of permitting the Fullerton junior college to become a part of a county institution since the local school was successful at this time with over 500 students.

Harpster, chairman and spokesman, declared that they were left no choice in the matter, excepting to favor a county junior college and could not approve of any action Fullerton might take under the new law to press the issue to a vote. S. C. Hartranft and other members of the Fullerton board declared that they had no intention of permitting the Fullerton junior college to become a part of a county institution since the local school was successful at this time with over 500 students. The answer was given in response to a direct question regarding the attitude of Fullerton on a county junior college plan, put to the Fullerton board by Henry Ramm of the Anaheim trustee group. Fullerton trustees declared that it was their intention to give Anaheim every opportunity to consider the matter of the Northern Orange County school. The issue will not be rushed as there is no desire to hurry the procedure. Dr. Harpster, in response to inquiries of members of the Fullerton board regarding Santa Ana's stand on the county junior college question, stated that he had been informed that such an institution would be located outside of Santa Ana and at a point favorable to Anaheim. He also argued that with the assessed valuation of the entire county on which to draw, a great institution would be developed to serve a greater area, and which might eventually become a four-year college. In answer to Harpster's statements, J. A. Prizer, Fullerton trustee, declared that in a county institution, transportation problems would be greater and the chief purpose of the junior college which is smaller institutions with closer contact between the instructors and pupils would be defeated. TEACHERS' PENSIONS Teachers teaching the age of retirement have a total of $3,802,744 in the state treasury available for their pensions, a report of the state board of education says. The amount paid for this purpose in the last twelve-month period was $584,758. FORMER OFFICIAL COMMITS SUICIDE Ed McClellan drives to Lonely Canyon and Shoots Himself Ed McClellan, who served four years as chief deputy sheriff under Sheriff Jernigan, committed suicide Monday afternoon by shooting himself through the head with a sawed-off shotgun. The deed was committed in Trego Canyon, a lonely spot seven miles from El Toro. McClellan was suspended from office by Sheriff Jernigan, and on recommendation of the grand jury was tried on a charge of mistreatment of prisoners He was convicted and served a jail sentence of thirty days. In a letter to Coroner Brown, which he tied on the steering wheel of his car near the spot where he shot himself, he stated that he committed the act because his friends had deserted him since misfortune had over taken him. No inquest, he declared, was necessary. He also left a letter to his wife, who was visiting friends at a distance. McClellan has recently been working for an automobile agency in Anaheim, selling cars. LOCAL LADS HONORED Two Anaheim students at U. S. C. received signal honors this week by being elected president of their Pharmacy classes in which they are making very good grades.

(Hallowe’en night) as the date Valencia Packers Needing More Men Help Short in the Orchards of Orange County That the citrus packing associations of Orange county as well as similar organizations in other parts of the southland, are unable to get sufficient men to pick the present crop as rapidly as it should be harvested was revealed by an official of the Santiago Orange Growers’ Association in Orange, the largest association of its type in the world. The official declared that managers could use 25 per cent more men than they have available at this time and he pointed out that it is time many groves were being stripped of their golden fruit because of the possibility of damage by desert winds. The shortage has been for some time prevalent and is due in a measure to the movement of Mexicans and Filipinos to other sections of the State for harvesting work. Some have gone to the vineyard sections of the San Joaquin and Sacramento valley, others have been called to the lettuce fields of Arizona, and still others have left for work in the bean and beet fields. At the same time, the official pointed out that the grower organizizations are using about twice as many men as usual in the picking operations’ employment of the extra men being due to the size of the crop. A Santa Ana fruit grower declared that he had been told of instances where owners of combination orange and walnut groves had taken their walnut picking crews and put them to work on their oranges in order to get the oranges to the packing houses. It was asserted by the official that at a meeting, held recently in Fullerton, of managers of packing-houses in Orange county, San Diego county, and Whittier district, declarations were made that a large number of Mexicans refused to work because they were satisfied with the old counties were giving them as indigents. Marketing of the 1929 persimmon crop will be the main theme topic of the Annual Persimmon Growers Institute to be held at the Anaheim High School on Saturday, October 12. 9:30 A.M. Several authoritative speakers have been secured for the occasion, according to J. M. Alcorn, chairman of the InterCounty Farm Bureau Persimmon Growers Department, who announces that the program is now in final form. After a luncheon at noon, featuring persimmon dishes, a field tour, under the direction of the Agricultural Extension Service, will be held which will include a stop at a persimmon packing house, and two stops in commercial persimmon orchards. During the field tour Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg will explain recent results of the pruning plots which have been established at the McFadden-Walker ranch for three years. Prof. R. W. Hodgson, from the Division of Subtropical Horticulture, University of California, will discuss the irrigation of persimmons. All growers and others interested in the persimmon industry are invited to attend the Institute in the morning and the field day during the afternoon. Some 200 growers and others interested in the industry are expected to attend from all parts of Southern California. The meeting will be held in front auditorium of the High School starting at 9:30 A.M. The morning session will be devoted to discussions on the marketing of persimmons. A luncheon will be served at the High School cafeteria at noon. A field tour under the direction of the Agricultural Extension Service will be held during the afternoon.

S. Gregg, County Welfare Department, Courthouse, Santa Ana. The state department of Social Welfare announces the complete list of persons in each county of the state who will administer the age law in their counties. Instead of sending their applications to the social welfare department at Sacramento, those wishing to receive aid should see their county administrators. Administrators of the old age law in the counties will investigate each case which applies. They will then send the application to the division at Sacramento and final approval will be placed on the request if it is to be granted. It is the intention of the division to give applications as prompt a response as possible. But the Board is going to carry out the provisions of the law and safeguard the state in this expenditure. All persons over 70 years of age are eligible to the state aid with certain requirements, according to the law. They must have lived for fifteen years in the state and for one year in the county. American citizenship is demanded of all those receiving aid. The citizenship phase of the law is causing some difficulty to the division. Several matters on this subject have been referred to the attorney general for an opinion. The law declares that the state and county must give aid to the amount of $30 a month to each person fulfilling requirements. If a person has any income this must be counted in the $30 allowance, the act states. Such situations as where a person is receiving rent free or being given food for certain work are being presented to the attorney general for his consideration, to determine whether this must be included in the $30 total. Date Fixed For Hallowe’en Parade The Merchants' and Manufacturers' association at a meeting Monday evening, fixed the night of Thursday, October 31, (Hallowe'en night) as the date for holding the next Hallowe’en festival and street parade. President Kurt Epstein will announce the list of committeemen at a later date. Sentiment was in favor of holding the dance this year in the first block on Center street east of Los Angeles street. In order to do this it will be necessary to install a special wiring system, it was explained. A committee will confer with the city council on this matter. A decision was reached to invite all outside communities to participate in the parade, and prizes as large as can be arranged will be offered for winners in such events, it was decided. This is the sixth annual Hallowe’en festival staged by the Anaheim merchants, and it has become a fixed institution. It grows better each year, and efforts will be made to outdo all the others this fall. Three Counties Agree on Weir Work to Begin at Once On Water Spreading Dam A definite step toward water conservation for Orange County, the benefits of which may be realized during the winter of 1930, was taken with the announcement that this county, with Riverside and San Bernardino counties and the Tri-counties Water Conservation association, will co-operate in construction of a $90,000 weir at the mouth of the Santa Ana canyon to facilitate spreading of water. The announcement came following a meeting in San Bernardino at which the boards of supervisors of the three counties met to discuss the project. The Orange county board first inspected the site of the proposed structure and met the other boards, which already had seen the location, at the California hotel in San Bernardino at noon. Each county will appropriate $10,000 for the present fiscal year and it is expected that like sums will be made available by the counties in the coming fiscal year. The Tri-counties Water Conservation association will provide $30,000, according to the plan worked out. The expense of constructing the weir will be distributed over two fiscal years, with the water companies of the three counties assisting through the conservation association.

AT A CONFERENCE Accident Losses In the Couties How to Prevent Them Being Considered by State The loss of manpower in Orange county by avoidable accidents is a challenge to the ingenuity of city and county, as well as state, officials, F. P. Fletcher, superintendent of the state safety engineering department, declares. "Accidents are the result of human causes, and are therefore preventable by human means." Fletcher contends. "Safety education is the only means by which any lasting results in accident prevention can be accomplished." "Safety education is the only means by formula in the past have done much to mitigate the death toll of carelessness. To start a safety campaign is one task, but to continue its spirit with enthusiasm requires the greatest effort. It is after the band stops playing and the parade is over that honest thought must be given to get results. The safety educational work must have a trained director. One person should be made responsible, regardless of the size of the community where the campaign is being launched. ANAHEIM C. OF C.
