Camp Benefit Being Planned Picture Operators, With Legion to Sponsor Midnight Show If plans of the Orange County local of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Motion Picture Operators of the United States and Canada and Anaheim post of the American Legion bear fruit the inmates of the children's health camp will be able to have motion picture programs almost daily. The plan inaugurated by the motion picture operators of the county, and sponsored by the Legion, is to purchase a complete set of picture equipment to be installed at the camp. The operators will donate their services without cost. To raise funds for purchase of necessary equipment a midnight matinee is to be given Saturday night, March 1, at the Fox Broadway theater in Santa Anna. Managers of all Fox theaters in the county are co-operating under the leadership of John Rantz of the Fox Broadway, who is arranging for the showing of an all-talking first-run picture, and a vaudeville program. Rantz seeks to obtain a preview which he declares will mean the presence of fthe leading characters in person. The project has already received the endorsement of the central labor council and the Santa Ana building trades council, which embrace all union workmen in the county. It is estimated by Fred Robinson, chairman of the I. N. T. S. E. and M. P. O. committee that it will require $500 to purchase the desired equipment. Three Crash Damage Suits Ask $82,358.15 Three damage actions for injuries Fine Program at The Fox Theatre Jack Oakle, the talking screen's "wise guy" who has played second fiddle to other stars in a number of recent outstanding productions, has the stage to himself, (more or less) in "Hit the Deck," a glamorous, musical comedy special coming to the Fox theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Presentation of "Hit the Deck," however, is not to be the only outstanding feature of next week's entertainment menu at the Fox. "The Cocoanuts" are coming back! Through special arrangement made in response to numerous requests, Manager Harry C. Arthur, Sr., announces that the Four Marx Bros., famous musical comedy success, "The Cocoanuts," which played to capacity houses at the Fox Several months ago is to be given a special two-day return engagement. The Brox Sisters, famous radio entertainers, introducing a number of new song hits, and Polly Walker, Broadway favorite, have important roles in "Hit the Deck," which is a screen adaptation of the original stage play which ran 14 months on Broadway. "The Cocoanuts" is also a former New York stage success transferred to the screen as one of the laugh sensations of 1929. He broke attendance records at the Fox when shown here previously.

Ford Car P Third or Three Crash Damage Suits Ask $82,358.15 Three damage actions for injuries received in automobile accidents in the county, which were filed Monday with County Clerk J. M. Backs, seeks judgments totaling $82,356.15. Two of the actions are directed against Harvey A. Leichtfuss and are the outgrowth of a collision between cars driven by Mrs. Elizabeth Staes and Leichtfuss, in Orange, at 1:25 on the morning of Nov. 10, 1929. The claims in the two suits amount to $57,008.15. Careless and negligent operation of a car by the defendant is alleged in both complaints. Conrad and Elizabeth Staes itemize their alleged damages as follows: Personal injuries to Conrad Staes, $5000; loss of one week's time from the employ of the Pacific Electric company, $42; medical attention, $98.50; total $5141.50. His wife asks $15,000 for personal injuries; $1000 for loss of employment; $95 for damage to the car; by repossession of the car, $206.15; total $16,301.15. The Dubb family, Louis and Elizabeth and their son, Ronald, were passengers in the Staes machine. Their claims are as follows: Personal injuries to Louis Dubb, $20,000; loss of time from employment, $850; loss of position with the Peerless Laundry, $1500, and other items totaling $23,065.50. Personal damages are asked to rite mother in the amount of $7500 and for the boy in the sum of $5000. Martin Sanchez is the defendant in the third action, which was brought by Charles B. Ortweig, who asks a total of $25,548 for injuries suffered when the car in which he was riding collided with a truck owned by the defendant, which is said to have been left on the highway without lights. This accident occurred two miles west of Fullerton, last October. Ortweig asks $15,000 general damages and $10,000 for diminished earning capacity. The balance is for medical attention.

Agricultural Census of World Underway The whole world is now ready for the first general census of agriculture, undertaken under the auspices of the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, according to word received by the Farm Advisor's office, from its headquarters at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. Two countries, Switzerland and Dahomey (West Africa), have already completed enumeration of the area and production of crops harvested in 1929 and the numbers of different kinds of livestock and other agricultural data as of the end of the year. In all promises of cooperation by responsible government officials have been obtained for countries and their dependencies comprising more than 97 per cent of the land surface, 98 per cent of the total agricultural and livestock production of the world. Definite preparations for taking their census early in 1930 are reported by 70 countries, including the principal agricultural countries of the world, and about 100 other countries have promised to participate in the census, though they have not yet reported what action has been taken to insure the taking of the census, Leon N. Estabrook, Agricultural Commissioner of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U.S. Department of Agriculture, who was loaned to the Institute, states upon his return to Washington after completing the preliminary work of organizing the census in the course of which he visited the capital cities, departments of agriculture, statistical bureaucracy, agricultural experiment stations, and the botanical gardens of practically all countries of the world.

Christian Science Church "Soul" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. Among the Scripture selections in the Lesson-Sermon will be these exhortations, from the Psalms: "O sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, al lime earth ... Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty of holiness." "And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us." "Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: . . . he will beautify the meek with salvation." Correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," present these statements by Mary Baker Eddy: "The embellishments of the person are poor substitutes for the charms of being, shining resplendent and eternal over age and decay. "The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony." Little Economies Aid Ford in Paring Costs The Ford Motor Company was able to reduce the price of the Ford car to increase the minimum wage of its employees by the almost daily development of new economies through better manufacturing methods. A recent instance of this is a new hard chrome plating and heat treating method for hard surfacing tools used in the manufacture of Ford automobiles. Steel, of which the tools are made, after being treated by the new method has been found to give 218 hours of service in certain grinding operations as against four hours, the limit of service under old conditions. A New York company is now charging passengers a cent a pound in weight for a sight seeing trip over New York. This isn't fair. A fat man can't see any more on one of these trips than a skinny one.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Three Newspapers Sued for Damages Publishers of three Orange county newspapers were made defendants in libel suits filed last Tuesday afternoon by E. M. Wheatland, contractor and fraternal leader of Whittier and former president of the Balboa Palisades club, in which damages totaling $400,000 are demanded through the Orange county court from the defendants in the actions. The complaints, which were filed by Judge R. I. Walters, Whittier attorney, assert that stories in the three papers appearing on January 10, identified a certain C. L. Wheatland, another person, as former president of the Balboa Palisades club, and stories on February 1 identified C. L. Wheatland, Whittier contractor, as named co-respondent in a divorce action, and that the publication of the stories and linking of E. M. Wheatland through erroneous identification with the case has injured the good reputation, and good name of E. M. Wheatland, that he was greatly humiliated and disgraced, and his good name, reputation and credit as a contractor was injured. Two causes of action were set forth in the complaints against one Santa Ana and one Orange paper for the two stories they ran in which the identity of E. M. Wheatland was attached to the man involved in the case, C. L. Wheatland, and damages of $100,000 on the first count and $50,000 in the second were demanded of the publishers of each of the papers. The Anaheim paper, according to the complaint, only carried one story in which the mistaken identity associated the Whittier contractor with the divorce action, and was consequently sued only on one count, in which $100,000 is asked. The papers are the Anaheim Bulletin, the Santa Ana Times, and the Orange News. Ford Car Production Third of U. S.: Total Nearly every third passenger car. White Certificates Must Not be Hidden White certificates of registration issued to California motorists are intended for display in the drivers compartment and not be locked in the safety deposit box or hid away in the bottom of the trunk. License plates are intended to identify the car on which they are displayed and must be kept free from dirt and grease. Pink certificates of ownership are, in effect, the owner's title to his car and should be put away with other valuable papers such as insurance policies, stocks and bonds. This information is given to California motorists today in a bulletin issued by Frank G. Snook, Chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles. Snook advises motorists to take care of their plates and certificates. Several thousand dollars is collected annually from persons who are compelled to seek duplicates because of carelessness. A charge of fifty cents is required by law for duplicate certificates and $1 for each duplicate license plate. Snook calls attention to a provision of the law requiring that certificates of registration be kept in plain sight in the car. Many motorists are violating this provision, it was stated. Census Coming The fifteenth and subsequent decennial censuses of the United States will start during the month of April, this year. This census of the population, agriculture, irrigation, drainage, distribution, unemployment, and mines is to be taken by the director of Census during 1930 and every ten years thereafter. In addition to each State in the census will be included the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico. The taking of the census in 1930 is of significant importance to California because on the basis of the population shown there will be a re-apportionment of the congressional districts of the training et cetera are qualified for the work. Now is the time for each community to forward to the director of census of each county the names of those persons who desire to carry on this work and who are fitted for it. If any reader does not know where to send such application a letter of inquiry addressed to Citrus Leaves will receive prompt attention. Communications sent to the chairmen of the central committees of each county undoubtedly will likewise be immediately considered. Government by Committee Chicago, with the municipal school and most of the Cook county government, is now undergoing the experiment of government by committee. When the city, school board and county went broke and failed to meet the payrolls, some forty thousand employees found themselves in desperate need. Banks refused credit to the various units and taxes had already been anticipated as far as possible. In this emergency a committee of citizens headed by Attorney Silas Strawn came forward and agreed to underwrite a loan sufficient to meet the requirements of the situation, provided they could exercise a virtual censorship over the official activities of the three bodies. Naturally, the governing powers were loath to submit to this humiliation; but the pressure from financially desperate employees an dthe clamor of taxpayers prevailed and the bond was sealed. Of course it is not a wholesome thing for the elected representatives of the people to surrender their official authority to any body of financial redeemers may be. Nothing, if the practice became general, could be subject to greater abuses. But the Chicago offks were dealing with a condition and not a theory. They had to take any available port in the financial storm. It is possible that the regime of committee rule will have wholesome effects in many ways—ifnot too long continued, or if not perverted by some private or political ambitions among the redeemers. Certainly there is much improvement to be made in government as it has been carried on in Chicago and Ford Car Production Third of U. S: Total Nearly every third passenger car, truck and taxicab produced in the United State last year was a Ford. The industry as a whole produced 5,358,361 units in 1929, according to official figures compiled by the United States Chamber of Commerce. Ford production in the United States was 1,709,945 cars and trucks. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Broadway and Citron St. L. T. Barkman, Pastor. Phone 778. 9. A. M.

One-way BARGAIN FARES TO THE EAST February 1 to March 2 Comfortable Coachesl The fifteenth and subsequent decentral censuses of the United States will start during the month of April, this year. This census of the population, agriculture, irrigation, drainage, distribution, unemployment, and mines is to be taken by the director of Census during 1930 and every ten years thereafter. In addition to each State in the census will be included the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico. The taking of the census in 1930 is of significant importance to California because on the basis of the population shown there will be a re-apportionment of the congressional districts of the state. This reapportionment is supposed to be made so that in proportion to its population various districts will have proportionate representation in Congress. The citrus industry should be adequately represented in Washington, as should all other agricultural industries of this state. On the efficiency with which the census is taken will in great measure depend the adjustment of these congressional districts within this state so that California will have her proportionate representation in comparison with other states of the Union. Every citrus grower of California should exert every effort in assisting those to be engaged in taking the census to the end that California's whole population may be fully accounted for and the state be given its fair control in congress. It appears to be the policy in selecting census takers that preference should be given first to ex-service men and women who through people to surrender their official authority to any body of financial redeemers may be. Nothing, if the practice became general, could be subject to greater abuses. But the Chicago offks were dealing with a condition and not a theory. They had to take any available port in the financial storm. It is possible that the regime of committee rule will have wholesome effects in many ways—ifnot too long continued, or if not perverted by some private or political ambitions among the redeemers. Certainly there is much improvement to be made in government as it has been carried on in Chicago and Cook county for many years. The present humiliating experience of Chicago is nothing more nor less than the logical sequence of some two decades of the worst type of politics in the country, made possible by the indifference of a large share of Chicago's "substantial" people an dhe silly parisanship of the rest. Endless murders, bombings, graft scandals and racketeering wars have left the people apathetic; no appeal to civic pride or moral responsibility has prevailed. Now the effects of this style of politics are felt at last in the pocketbook—and the reaction seems to be prompt and severe. Chicago has made its bed and will have to lie in it for quite a while to come. But it is fairly safe to predict a little better deal by ythe time the voters get around to balloting again.
