Nearly $500,000 more than is now available will be needed for the school year 1930131, according to Vierling Kersey, state superintendent of public instruction.

C. Chapman Elected Chairman. A movement toward the industrial expansion of Orange county, also for the cementing into harmonious action for consummation of the work all communities in the county, was launched at a meeting held at Fullerton, Monday evening. Leaders in financial, business, agricultural and industrial affairs composed the group. The meeting, which was arranged at the instance of J. C. Bliss, chairman of the industrial committee of the Associated Chambers of commerce, was held at the McFurland cafe with C. C. Chapman presiding. Bankers, ranchers, progressive business and conscientious civic leaders and conservative taxpayers heard the story of Orange county's disruption on questions of water harbor and junior college, and then a large number of them enrolled in the idealistic movement to end disharmony and to knit the county together for unified industrial development. Creation of a fund of $10,000 to finance the program o f the committee is proposed, with each member contributing $100—an investment of $100 each in Orange county's future, as it was expressed at the meeting. Thirty-two men who signed as members of the committee pledged themselves to subscribe $6500 to the fund. The pledges, it was pointed out, would not be called for until 100 members had been signed or until $10,000 had been pledged. The county board of supervisors has pledged $1000 to the fund, according to announcement by Bliss. Upon organization of the committee, Chapman was elected permanent chairman; T. B. Talbert, Huntington Beach, vice chairman, Harry May, Fullerton, temporary secretary, and Senator N. T. Edwards, Orange, treasurer. Chapman is to appoint an executive committee which is to include the officers, and a number of directors at large throughout the county. Every section of the county will be represented on the board of directors. In opening the session, Chapman declared that it is the people themselves and not water, soil, climate or resources that make a community, state or nation. Statuing that Orange county is on the verge of what promises to be an important industrial development, the committee chairman said that harmony must be sustained to assure a happy and prosperous future. W. J. Carmichael, of Fullerton, declared that the committee is proposed as a balance wheel to harmonize disputes in order that a unified appeal may be made for the development of the county industrially. year 1930131, according to Vierling Kersey, state superintendent of public instruction. "The situation is one which apparently cannot be remedied in time to aid the junior colleges next year. This means that a deficit of $497,000 faces us for the year unless we can get funds from some source." "The 1929 legislature set $30 a pupil as the maximum amount to be provided from the general fund for the junior colleges. "The federal government aids in junior college education with an apportionment based on receipts from federal oil land leases. Many of these leases have been cancelled, cutting down the apportionment. Last year the state received $240,838. Next year we shall be fortunate to get $200,000." Kersey advocates that the state give a minimum of $2,000 yearly for each district junior college and $100 for each unit of average daily attendance. The $30 maximum for each unit now prevails. Junior colleges have increased in attendance an average of 68 per cent during the past seven years, the superintendent said. He does not anticipate as large an increase next year as experienced during the past two years, but states that the seven year average of 68 per cent will probably occur. With half again as many pupils and considerably lessened revenue, the situation is acute. Kersey concludes. Although no junior colleges will have to close for lack of funds, the expense warrants must be registered and 6 per cent interest paid on them, according to law. Kersey believes that lack of funds will hamper opening of any new junior colleges until the revenue difficulty is adjusted. Hartranft Talks To Rotary Club Tracing the origin of Thanksgiving, S. C. Hartranft gave an interesting talk on the subject of "How Thanksgiving Began" before the members of the Rotary club at the regular meeting at the Elks clubhouse Monday. The speaker said the day as it is celebrated now, dated fro mthe time of the Puritans but that in the Bible the people are directed to give thanks. Hartranft spoke of the first Thanksgiving day proclamation issued by Washington and of the setting aside of the fourth Thursday of November for the observance of the day by Lincoln. The Rev. Thomas H. Walker secretary of the club, was the program chairman. The program included a reading by George W. Reid, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, entitled "The Grouch vs. the Optimist." Loonard Evans read Elbert Hubbard's "A Man's Thanksgiving" and Jimmie Heffron read Edgar Guest's poem, "Thanksgiving." Birthdays of the following members were observed, the Rev. Mr. Walker, R. E.

Stating that Orange county is on the verge of what promises to be an important industrial development, the committee chairman said that harmony must be sustained to assure a happy and prosperous future. W. J. Carmichael, of Fullerton, declared that the committee is proposed as a balance wheel to harmonize disputes in order that a unified appeal may be made for the development of the county industrially. C. L. McComber, Buena Park, advanced the thought that the committee could arrange to have a representative, contact with eastern capitalists and industrialists and outline to them the advantages this county offers factories. He also suggested that steps be taken to acquire available industrial property at current low prices, pointing out that price on such property later may become prohibitive for industrial use. George Raymer, secretary of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, outlined some of the possible accomplishments by a contact man in directing attention of industrialists to Orange county. Perhaps the climax of the meeting was reached when S. H. Woodruff, of Dana Point, outlined organization in Los Angeles of a committee of 200 that was responsible for initiating the program that has resulted in hundreds of factories coming to that city. "Orange county, with its cheap land, low cost of living, cheap power and ideal living conditions is ideally suited for the development of a great textile industry as well as other types of industry," Woodruff said. He asserted the Orient offers the world's best market for textile products and pointed out that California is growing high grade cotton. Land values are now on the upward trend, after a period of comparative quiet, Woodruff said, in commenting on the fact that opportunities for the future are extremely promising. Other county leaders, who voiced endorsement of the "Committee of One Hundred" movement, included A. B. Bradford, pioneer Placentia banker and rancher; C. Houghey, of Los Angeles, secretary of the United States Industrial Alcohol company; Edward Starke of Los Angeles, president of the Ana- heim Sugar company; Charles Cotant, manager of the Bank of Italy, Santa Ana branch; Lew Wallace of the Security Trust and Savings bank of Newport Beach; A.

Hartranft, Anaheim rancher; Frank Was, manager of the Santa Ana branch of the Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles; J. P. Greely, of Balboa; and H. A. Lake of Garden Grove. County sentiment is definitely moving towards cooperation, after a peril of petty bickering, was the opinion expressed by Lake in his talk. He pointed out that a round table discussion of perplexing problems, participated in by those of divergent interests, is the best sort of a solution. The meeting was sponsored by Gaston Bastanchury and Charles C. Chapman, Fullerton; Frank J. Was, Santa Ana; P. E. Fluor, Anaheim contractor; Senator Nels Edwards, Orange; Ole Hanson, San Clemente developer, and S. H. Woodruff, Dana Point developer.

H. Benjamin, President of the Anaheim Bank. Can Better Care for Needs of Community, says Mr. Benjamin. The First National Bank of Anaheim, the pioneer bank of this city, which was founded many years ago, is changing its name. This city was only a village when it first opened its doors, but it flourished, prospered and grew, and now it is one of the leading financial institutions of the county. After Dec. 7 it will be known as the Anaheim Branch of the Bank of America of California, a statewide institution having more than $400,000,000 in resources, according to a statement made by H. H. Benjamin, president of the local institution. Mr. Benjamin says: "Many residents know of the close affiliation which has long existed between our local bank and this state-wide financial institution," said Mr. Benjamin. "Today we are making the final step which definitely places behind our bank in Anaheim a capital structure of $33,000,000 and resources of more than $400,000,000. By becoming the Anaheim Branch of the Bank of America, our bank becomes an integral part of a statewide institution of great financial strength. "The directors imbued with the belief that branch banking offered the solution of safeguarding and stabilizing Community development, especially when that community is dependent, more or less, upon a single agricultural crop, as in the case of Anaheim. Should that crop, during any season need unusual aid, our directors wished to be in position to step forward with financial assistance to the growers. They wish to have their Anaheim bank not to be dependent upon local finances but to have back of it the resources of the great state of California. "The Bank of America of California, being statewide in its operations, is able to diversify its loans. In its balanced program, it assists agriculture, industry, mercantile establishments, home builders, etc., throughout the length and breath of California. Ability to diversify loans, yet to fully care for the needs of a one-crop community, is the corner stone upon which the great strength of branch banking is founded. "To this end, believing that they were making a progressive step which would safeguard Anaheim's best interests, our bank became affiliated with one of California's foremost financial institutions. This was in December, 1926. "We have been most happy in this affiliation and today are making the final step in this program of constructive endeavor, by becoming the Anaheim Branch of the Bank of America. We believe that our patrons and the people of Anaheim in general will be as gratified with this announcement as we are" H. H. Hale, advisory; H. E. Wahlberg, agricultural; Ross Shafer, educational; J. A. Smiley, good roads; Lew Wallace, harbor; J. C. Bliss, industrial; V. D. Johnson, publicity; Ross Shafer, recreational, and T. B. Talbert, state parks, who pointed out that other counties in the state are taking steps to avail themselves of state funds for a state park while Orange county still is quibbling over proposed sites. George Reid announced that Anaheim would enter a St. Patrick's float in the Tournament of Roses parade, in Pasadena. Stuart Lucas, president of the Water Users' association, submitted a suggestion for construction of check dams in Santa Ana canyon as a means for lessening floods in the river and the suggestion was passed to the conservation committee for presentation to the board of supervisors at the proper time. Tax On Incomes Is Satisfactory Building & Loan Associations Content With Provisions Of New Law At last—some California corporations are satisfied with the taxes they are paying! It may strange but the legislative tax commission at its last meeting in San Francisco was assured by the building and loan organizations of California, that they were content to go along with the new 4 per cent state tax on their net incomes. In view of the fact that these corporations have benefited by the new tax, however, their approval of the plan is not as startling as it might be. The building and loan group as a whole had their taxes heavily slashed when the new law went into effect. A few companies were raised, but in the great majority of these cases they had only been in business for a short time. Among the larger companies affecting reductions through the workings of the 4 per cent tax on net income were: Company Tax Tax Pacific States Saving and Loan ... $9,063 $25 Fresno Guarantee Building & Loan ... 1,516 507 Guaranty Building & Loan Los Angeles ... 4,720 439 California Mutual Building & Loan, L.A. ... 7,321 25 Los Angeles Mutual Building & Loan ... 1,944 221 Mutual Building & Loan Long Beach ... 14,634 4158 State Mutual Building & Loan Los Angeles ... 12,375 3500 The San Francisco meeting was not devoid of complaint; however, for the compilation listened to a long discussion County Engineers' Club In Session at Elks Club House, addressed by Members of Los Angeles County Commission; Necessity for a County Commission is Imperative; Declares R. O. Baldwin of Long Beach. The regular monthly session of the Orange County Engineer's club, held at the Elks club house in this city Friday evening, was devoted largely to a discussion of the county planning commission and the problems which will confront it. R. O. Baldwin, member of the Los Angeles planning commission, and Charles H. Diggs, directed of the Los Angeles county regional planning commission, were the chief speakers. Baldwin traced the remarkable growth of Southern California, declaring that the foremost thinkers of this part of the state now are faced with a tremendous problem in planning for future growth. "At the rate we have been growing for the last 29 years another 25 years will witness Los Angeles as a city of 15,000,000, the largest city in the world, three times the size of any city now in existence," said Baldwin. "What of Orange county in the center of this growth? We have got to build public works on a scale never before known. Adequate approaches to work must be provided by the highways, adequate provision must be for industrial development and in laying out the highways, plans must be made for airports and terminals. Sanitation must be considered in connection with industrial projects." "A population of 15,000,000 can be supplied with water from the Colorado River. Future growth depends on the water supply. Orange county, while planning must bear in mind the great population which is coming." The part of the highway in planning was especially stressed by the speaker. Increase in value of property follows the highway as vegetation follows a stream, the speaker said. "Major highways today are more important than were the railways a few years ago. During the last year 70 per cent of the tonnage left and approached the Los Angeles harbor by truck." "The greatest example of the need for city and county planning is to be found in Los Angeles, with its narrow dead and crooked streets. The city was laid out in the horse and buggy days and as a result the city now is engaged in a program of correction which will cost more than $300,000,000." The Los Angeles county commission is represented by four men and one woman, Baldwin said. All members formerly were strangers but they have been able to discuss problems and to come to decisions which will benefit all districts. "The problems as engineers of the cities and counties of Orange county deem necessary public hearing." Punchboards Banned By City Police With the approval of Mayor L. E. Miller and City Attorney George Holden, Chief of Police J. S. Bouldin yesterday started a movement for the elimination of punchboards in the city. The operation of punchboards is forbidden by a city ordinance. Boards affected include candy, cigarettes and gift boards located in drug stores, pool halls and other business establishments. According to Chief Bouldin all forms of punchboards are forbidden by the law and places of business which do not discontinue their use will have the devices taken from them. A fine of not more than $300 or 90 days in jail is the penalty for disregard of the ordinance. Chief Bouldin said the campaign would be continued until all boards had been eliminated. NO YEARLY MODELS The Ford people announce that there will be no new models of the car for 1930. The Ford will not have a longer wheelbase, will not have six cylinders, nor any major mechanical change. Minor improvements will be made from time to time, as have been in the past. This is official factory information sent to all Ford dealers. Thirty million Model A's will be built during the year. Two million are on the road now. Word has been received here that Mrs. Haywood, wife of Dr. B. S. Haywood, former pastor of White Temple church, is lying very ill. The doctor has canceled his tour around the world, for which he has been making preparations for some weeks. Mrs. Haywood's numerous friends here are hoping for her speedy recovery. If success is to be expected 10 points must be taken into consideration. These points are: An effective commission, proper division of work, sound engineering principles, adequate research and statistics, a comprehensive highway plan, a wholesome subdivision regulation, regulation of use of property based on comprehensive zoning, recognition of the problems of landscape design, informational material properly prepared and the moulding of public opinion for a comprehensive plan. The speakers were introduced by E. P. Hapgood, Anaheim city engineer and the meeting was in charge of Roy Browning, of the Irvine ranch, president of the Engineers' club. The next meeting of the club will be held in Fullerton, on December 20, when officers will be elected. Engineers were welcomed by Mayor L. E. Miller, of Anaheim. William Schumacher, county supervisor, announced at the close of the meeting that the planning commission found in Los Angeles, with its narrow, dead and crooked streets. The city was laid out in the horse and buggy days and as a result the city now is engaged in a program of correction which will cost more than $300,000,000." The Los Angeles county commission is represented by four men and one woman, Baldwin said. All members formerly were strangers, but they have been able to discuss problems and to come to decisions which will benefit all districts. "The problems as engineers of the cities and counties of Orange county are similar to the problems of other California cities," he continued. "Not only must we build but we must lead. No other place in the world ever has faced or ever will face the problem which confronts us in providing for a large population. Orange county will accomplish that which no other county or section of the country has accomplished or it will fail miserably according to the degree of your activities. Let us keep our eyes on the future." Charles Diggs, in a talk given previous to that of Baldwin, declared that the interests of the counties are interlocked, he said. The Orange county planning board should study the example of Los Angeles county and profit by it, Diggs declared. "If success is to be expected 10 points must be taken into consideration.

The resolution was offered by E. E. Campbell, chairman of a special committee appointed some months ago to make recommendations to the body for solution of the flood control situation in the county. The fact that there was no opposition to the report, and that it was not even discussed, indicated complete harmony in the chambers with reference to future action on the problem.

The fact that there was no opposition to the report, and that it was not even discussed, indicated complete harmony in the chambers with reference to future action on the problem. Further indication of the harmonizing of both factions of the issue was evidenced when arrangements were made for Stuart Lucas, President of the Water Users' League, which opposed the Bailey plan for a dam in Santa Ana canyon, and Harry H. Hale, staunch supporter of the plan, to head opposing teams in a golf match to be played when the Associated Chambers has its first recreational day program at the Santa Ana Country club on December 24, the regular meeting date of the organization. A turkey dinner at the club will follow the afternoon of sports. Submitted with the resolution was a written statement by the committee, stating that "your committee, realizing that this matter of flood control and water conservation is of extreme importance to all the people of this county, and further realizing that a more harmonious decision by the people of the county is essential not only for the future well being of a plan for water conservation and flood control program but also for the future well being of Orange county as a whole, recommends that you consider ways and means of promoting this harmony with the view towards ultimately arriving at some plan for flood control and water conservation that will best fill the requirements of this county." Following is the resolution adopted: "Whereas, Flood control and water conservation is essential to the future development of Orange county; and Whereas, a certain plan as submitted to the voters June 25, 1929, has provoked considerable controversy; and Whereas, this aforementioned plan was defeated by the voters of the county: and Whereas, reasonably harmonious action by the voters of this county on all major projects is essential to the well-being of the county; Therefore, be it resolved, that, the committee as appointed by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and member organizations of the Associated Chambers of Commerce exert its influence towards a re-investigation of flood control and water conservation in Orange county, and be it further Resolved. That we recommend that this Associated Chambers of Commerce request the board of supervisors to appoint a board of engineers, whose instructions shall be to review various reports available pertaining to this matter of flood control and water conservation and make such new and additional investigation as they may deem necessary, and further, to hold public hearings at which this matter Twenty-five persons are circulating petitions protesting against the annexation of Anaheim to the Fullerton Junior college district, and principal J. A. Clayes says that more volunteers for the work are needed. The time is short to complete the work as the petitions, after a sufficient number of names is secured, must be delivered to the county clerk in time to permit him to check the names to ascertain their legality before it is presented to the supervisors for action. Twenty per cent of the voters of the district, which is 1500 names, are required to prevent Anaheim from being automatically annexed to the Northern Orange County Junior College district, which so far comprises only Fullerton. The school would remain where it now is, in Fullerton. Petitions were circulated two or three weeks ago, and were being signed by nearly every voter to whom they were presented in all of the eight grade school districts comprising the Anaheim high school district, but it was discovered that they were not legal inasmuch as the dates of signing were omitted. The law requires that the date of affixing each signature must follow the name on the petition, consequently it was necessary to throw the old petitions away and start anew. Fast work is required to cover the district as the signatures must be verified at the county clerk's office, which is a considerable job, and in the hands of the supervisors on the morning of December 7, which is not far away. Very few people to whom the petitions were presented refused to sign the protest, and it is believed that, were there time to canvass thoroughly a very small percentage of the 7500 voters in the eight districts would be left off. The people of Anaheim and the seven grade school districts outside the city, comprising the Anaheim high school district, are overwhelmingly opposed to Fullerton's project, and will demonstrate their disapproval at the polls when the election is held. They should hasten to sign the protest petition in order that it may reach the supervisors in time to prevent their absorption by Fullerton. In addition to the canvassers circulating the protest it can be signed at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, at White's Hardware Store, at the high school office, at the Y. M. C. A. office and at the Bulletin office. er in other states, the withdrawals are also heavy. "In point of amounts retained on deposit, California ranks second with a total of $976,632, being exceeded only by New York. In total interest credited— Thrift Among School Children Many Have Accounts In Savings Banks Throughout State California school children are learning the lesson of thrift. Two out of every three pupils in this state have school savings accounts. Of a total bank balance this year of $50,073,667 in all school savings banks of the United States, California shows a total balance of $6,188,572. Only two other states, New York and Pennsylvania, exceed California in its total. These facts were revealed in a report to Governor Young by Will C. Wood, state superintendent of banks just before Wood departed for a vacation trip to South America on leave of absence. In many ways California's record shows that the fundamental idea of thrift has taken a firmer hold here than in other larger and wealthy states," Wood said. "While collections are large for Orange county had been selected and that Dr. Walter Bigham, head of the Anaheim city planning commission, had been selected as a member of the body The commissio has been carefully selected, Schumacher said, and all parts of the county will receive equal consideration." "Orange county will be able to profit by the experience of Los Angeles county," the supervisor declared, "and I feel sure that Los Angeles will give this county her support." In addition to the canvassers circulating the protest it can be signed at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, at White's Hardware Store, at the high school office, at the Y. M. C. A. office and at the Bulletin office. In other states, the withdrawals are also heavy. "In point of amounts retained on deposit, California ranks second with a total of $976,632, being exceeded only by New York. In total interest credited—the best example of the continuity of the individual account — California stands ahead of both New York and Pennsylvania." The average amount kept on disposal per pupil in California is $16.18, as compared to $11.85 for the nation at large, the report showed. Back in 1921-23, when the school savings idea originated, there was 58,118 pupils of the 171,103 in California to whom the system was available who had savings accounts. This was approximately one pupil out of every three. The average account per pupil was $11.93. The following year 88,619 pupils out of the 219,687—or two out of every five—had school savings accounts. The average account was $9.21. Today, however, with nearly two out of every three pupils enrolled in saving money for the future, the average account is $16.18, and 382,460 pupils are participating. From less than three-quarters of a million dollars in 1922, the total savings in this state is now more than six millions. Whether or not this practical education in banking will repay its California sponsors for their time and effort remains to be seen," said Wood. "The system has hardly had its first graduating class. However, it can be readily demonstrated that from whatever source the impetus to save may have come—be it from teachers, bankers or the parents, it has acquired a momentum of its own, ad once installed in a school, appears to remain as a permanent part of its practical curriculum." Henry Ford is quoted as saying that women are not mechanically minded. Yet a lot o' them make machines out of their husbands.
