Anaheim Chamber President H. N. White was toastmaster. Dr. J. H. Johnstone, one of Anaheim's civic leaders, spoke on the appropriateness of the get-to-gether and the willingness of local folk to co-operate with any measure for the general promotion of the Pacific coast. Toastmaster White then introduced R. W. Childs, chairman for Oregon, who stressed the purpose of the visit. With the three Pacific coast states co-operating in their prolific advertising, and emphasizing the accessibility and desirability of seeing the entire 2,000 mile coast frontage from Western Canada on the north to Mexico on the south, Childs contended that all would enjoy greater tourist trade, which in California is the greatest "crop" in point of revenue. All the speakers introduced by Mr. Childs followed up his presentation of the purpose of the visit and expressed a hope that leaders in Southern California would join with the other sections in promoting a united front for tourists, and thus crystalize the "See all the Pacific coast" movement. The visiting delegation left Long Beach early Thursday morning, arriving in Anaheim at 8:45 o'clock. From here the group went to Fullerton, then to Placentia, then Corona and was scheduled to arrive at Riverside at noon. After looking over tourist attractions in San Bernardino, Riverside, Calton, Arcadia, Monrovia and Pasadena, the group was to arrive in Los Angeles for the night.

Forest Protectors To Hold Meet John Ragan, chairman of the Orange County Forest Protective Association, has issued a call for the members and others interested to assemble at the Olive Cafe, 6:30 p.m., Monday, April 28, to hear an account of the year's activities and to plan the program for the coming year. It will be recalled that a considerable number of small fires occurred in the hill areas of the county this past year but due to quick and effective work on the part of those charged with the protection of the watersheds no great area was burned over. It is highly important that this valuable resource of the county be protected and to do so, the helpful interest of the public is solicited. In order that the people of Orange County may become acquainted with forest management problems and its bearing upon the water supply, a tour has been arranged for Saturday, May 3, by the Agricultural Extension Service, Forest Protective Association, County, State and Federal Forestry officials. Those attending the tour are asked to be at the entrance to Irvine Park promptly at 9 o'clock. Various stops of interest will be made enroute to Santiago Peak, the highest point in Orange County. So that proper lunch accommodations can be made, those attending are asked to notify the Farm Advisor's office at Santa Ana, of the number in their party.

SPORTSMANSHIP IS BARRY TOPIC Coach Carpenter Presents a Dozen Athletes From Anaheim Union High Sportsmanship among the fans as well as on the field of athletic battle this week attracted attention of Kiwanis and guests who Tuesday noon heard Sam Barry, basketball and baseball coach at the University of Southern California, as the principal speaker on a program devoted to athletic affairs. Program Chairman Ted Kuchel also arranged to have Orv Mohler, star of the U. S. C. frosh team last fall, and Ben Carpenter, football coach at the Anaheim Union high school introduced. Coach Carpenter in turn introduced a dozen promising athletes from his institution. Coach Barry stressed the necessity of sportsmanship in the stands at any athletic contest. High school university athletes are taught sportsmanship on the field and so accustomed has the public become to this high type of friendly competition that any deviance from it by the athlete immediately meets with loud objections. But this cannot always be said of the fans. Crubbing because a team doesn't win, for instance, even though the boys go ont and give everything in them and themselves accept defeat in a sportsmanlike manner, focuses attention on a danger point in athletics, Coach Barry stated. "The boys are out on the field determined to win in a fair and sportsmanlike way," he said, "but to be sportsmen first. If the fans were all sportsman, critics of athletics would lose practically every argument they now put forth." Professional Women Hear District Aide Heads of all departments were scheduled to report at the meeting of the Business and Professional Women's Club at the Elks clubhouse Thursday evening, according to President Catherine McCullah. Inez Yeats, district officer and a member of the Anaheim group was to tell of So spoke Poet Campbell—and truly.

Nominations close Friday, April 25, and election follows the next school day. Grammar School Superintendent Melbourne A Gauer, chairman of the boys' week observance which is sponsored by the Elks, Masons, Boy Scouts, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, 20-30 Rotary, Kiwans and Lions clubs, states the following schools will elect one councilman each: Central Citron, Lincoln, La Palma, Broadway, Fremont, St. Catherine's School for Boys, St. Joseph's Academy and Anaheim Union high school. The high school also will name the city clerk, while the Fremont intermediate is scheduled to pick the city treasurer. Youths Watch Politics While the boys preside over the destinies of the city, Mayor L. E. Miller and his cohorts, Councilmen Fred Koesel, Jacob Lakeman, Leo Sheridan and M. W. Martinet, will sit behind the spot-light as the youngsters attempt to demonstrate their ability to run the city a decade or two hence. Their actions in the executive chairs will be watched by the legion of youths who in the future will register and vote on public officials and public questions, so the "events to come cast their shadows before." The boy officials will meet in regular session next Tuesday evening and formally organize. Non-elective offices will be filled by appointment. Civic groups plan to observe each day next week with special programs. Yorba School In Placentia District When no protests were made the Board of Supervisors, at the meeting held Tuesday morning, formally merged the Yorba school district with the Placentia Union school district; the change taking effect immediately. Trustees Blenger, Charles G. Teed and E. A. Lippe of the Yorba district turned in their books and records and the Placentia school took charge of school affairs. Few changes are to be made for the remainder of the school term. Assessed valuation of the Yorba district last year was $1,077,960 and this added to the Placentia valuation brings the Placentia Union district to third place in the county, with a valuation of $14,685,235.

VALENCIA SHOW SPEAKER PREDICTS GREAT GROWTH WITHIN NEXT FIVE YEARS Blind optimism and unfounded pessimism are equally dangerous, individually and collectively. But sane optimism, based on a faith in the future as indicated by the past and present, leads to greater accomplishments than ever before. Sane optimism marking progress of the tenth annual California Valencia Orange Show clearly points to greater prosperity in this district—is a symbol of progress for the whole Southland which in the next five years is destined to enjoy the greatest growth in any similar period in its history, already replete with a fascinating and romantic race to the forefront of modern civilization. Such are the beliefs of Dr. C. A. Gummere, district superintendent of Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa, with headquarters in Long Beach. These views he outlined at the banquet tendered 200 civic leaders of Southern California at the Elks club last Monday evening, by the California Valencia Orange Show executives. "To glance into the future of the California Valencia Orange Show we must first glance back to the progress of Southern California, for it is upon this growth and stability that the show's future is predicated." Substantial Galins "Here we marvel at the substantial gains made in every line of business, every line of manufacturing endeavor, every mode of transportation, and most of all, to the increase of population with its attendant wealth." Ten years ago California's census figures showed something over three and one-half millions of people in this state. The school census which followed six years later clearly indicated that the state's gain in population was 1,007,000, and that $00,000 of that was south of the Teachipl, with the metropolitan area of Los Angeles showing the greatest increase of population for any district in the history of the world. It is growing just as rapidly now as ever before. This tremendous increase in numbers of people, most of whom came here to enjoy the climate, scenic possibilities (Continued on Page 8) Sixty Years of Progress GROWING WITH ANAHEIM SINCE 1870 THE GAZETTE 108 N.

ONE FATALITY ON THE HIGHWAY SUNDAY Only Four Others Injured in Week-End Accidents In Orange County Fernando Ochoa, one-armed Mexican, of Los Alamitos, well known by police officers of the county due to several liquor violations for which he had been arrested and for which he served time in the county jail, was instantly killed Saturday night when the automobile in which he was riding with Alexander Puerto, of Hynes, and Mike Donovan, of Los Angeles, crashed into telephone pole south of Downey. Puerto, driver of the machine, was held by Los Angles deputy sheriffs, pending an investigation of the crash. Four other persons were injured, none Miss Helen Moser Hannigan of Perrysburg, Ohio, crowned Queen of the annual Festival of States at St. Petersburg, Florida. VALENCIAS WIN FROM SANTA ANA Al Bushman Leads Teammates to Brilliant Victory Over Traditional Rivals Serving early season notice that they are out for the pennant, the Anaheim Valencias Tuesday evening demonstrated to 3,000 fans by a 5 to 2 win over the toughest Santa Ana All-Stars that the National league bunting may hang in this city next winter. George Pace's proteges started off in the first inning in the fracas at Santa Ana by a hit and a walk, which were nullified by a double play. But the locals were not to be denied. With Al Bushman hurling master ball, and his colleagues backing him up with a galaxy of hits and brilliant plays, the Valencias fought through to a finish which indicates their potential strength. At times the game was a little ragged, due, perhaps, to the tense rivalry between the two combatants. But this raggedness only led to more brilliant individual playing. The game scheduled for Friday evening of this week finds Long Beach coming to this city for its baptism in local night baseball. Fans who have been watching the score column and personnel of the invading team predict a stiff battle, although they hardly look for the Valencias to succumb to the attack. Bastanchury Well Is "Fountain of Youth" Containing elements which physicians claim makes it one of the most healthful drinking waters to be found anywhere, the Bastanchury well water is gaining local and out-of-county fame every week. Fred Cline, manager of the water division of the noted Bastanchury ranch at Fullerton, stated Wednesday. Diagnosis of a gallon of water shows that it contains sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, calcium bicarbonate, magnesium bicarbonate. Fernando Ochoa, one-armed Mexican, of Los Alamitos, well known by police officers of the county due to several liquor violations for which he had been arrested and for which he served time in the county jail, was instantly killed Saturday night when the automobile in which he was riding with Alexander Puerto, of Hynes, and Mike Donovan, of Los Angeles, crashed into telephone pole south of Downey. Puerto, driver of the machine, was held by Los Angeles deputy sheriffs, pending an investigation of the crash. Four other persons were injured, none seriously, in three automobile accidents reported in the county over the week end. Francis Ingraham, 21, of Long Beach, suffered a broken foot and fractures of both arms when the motorcycle he was riding is said to have collided with an automobile near the Orange county hospital, where it was said that his injuries would not prove fatal. Two men were hurt in an automobile accident near El Modena, Saturday night. They were Jose Challia, of Santa Ana, cuts about the head and left ear, and Frank Sanges, of El Modona, severe cut on left hand and cuts and bruises. Both were taken to the Orange county hospital. F. Jim Kodowarki, of Santa Ana, suffered a bruised arm when the automobile in which he was riding collided with a car driven by Ruth Wakeman, of Brea, at Bishop and South Main streets, at 6:15 Saturday night. In the Challia and Sangos accident, Challia was ordered placed under arrest, pending an investigation of the accident by deputy sheriffs. Gets 500 Days for Carrying Booze Robert Allen, San Diego youth, is not the innocent "bystander" he claimed when he was arrested by Vernon Barnhill, state traffic officer with 16 five gallon cans of alcohol in his automobile according to information Barnhill said he obtained Saturday morning. At the time of his arrest Allen stated that he met a man in the Y. M. C. A. at San Diego who said he would pay him to deliver the liquor to Los Angeles and that he was delivering it when arrested. The Y. M. C. A. angle of the story did not ring true to Barnhill, but he merely scoured the story and lodged Allen in jail. The next day the youth pleaded guilty to transportation of liquor and was sentenced to serve 500 days in the county jail or pay a fine of $500. He is still in jail. Barnhill announced that Allen is wanted in National City on a similar charge, when he gets through with his term here, and that he is believed to be a member of a powerful rum ring operating between Los Angeles and Mexico. Containing elements which physicians claim makes it one of the most healthful drinking waters to be found anywhere, the Bastanchury well water is gaining local and out-of-county fame every week. Fred Cline, manager of the water division of the noted Bastanchury ranch at Fullerton, stated Wednesday. Diagnosis of a gallon of water shows that it contains sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, calcium bicarbonate, magnesium bicarbonate, potassium iodine and iron oxide in scientific proportions to best assist the human body. The well from which this crystal clear water is secured is 4,500 feet deep. According to Manager Cline, the well is as near the "Fountain of Youth" as science has yet discovered. Builders Exchange Elects Officers Following the count of ballots Monday night, Frederic Sanford, manager, announced that men chosen for the directorate by vote of members would be installed at the meeting of the Orange County Builders' exchange to be held May 6 in the Newport Harbor Yacht clubhouse. Those elected to the board were R. C. McMillan, general contractor; W. J. Tway, lumber; W. J. Kelley, roofing; H. O. Ehlen, Orange, plumbing; W. F. Sorensen, painting; V. O. Kisner, Fullerton, ornamental iron work; C. M. Gillbert, electric; S. F. Sorensen, brick and plaster; Jules Markel, general contractor; L. R. Wilson, Anaheim, general contractor; N. E. Lentz, lumber; Adolph Schmld, general contractor; Ray Cavett, Orange, sheet metal work; A. L. Foster, Fullerton, building materials, and Allison Honer, general contractor. The old board of directors will meet in Ketner's cafe at noon today to wind up business of its administration and the new board will meet at the same place the following day at noon and elect a president, two vice presidents and a treasurer. The Y. M. C. A. angle of the story did not ring true to Barnhill, but he merely scouted the story and lodged Allen in jail. The next day the youth pleaded guilty to transportation of liquor and was sentenced to serve 500 days in the county jail or pay a fine of $500. He is still in jail. Barnhill announced that Allen is wanted in National City on a similar charge, when he gets through with his term here, and that he is believed to be a member of a powerful rum ring operating between Los Angeles and Mexico. Barnhill said that Joe Piper, National City police officer, arrested Allen just prior to the youth's arrest here, when 62 quarts of champagne, 36 quarts of creme de menthe, 18 quarts of French wine and 172 pints of imported beer were found in his machine. At the time of his arrest here, Barnhill said Allen was out on bail at National City. The ball has since been revoked. Anaheim Youth Rescues Child At Park Sunday Some little girl between the age of four and five this week owes her life to the alertness of Eugene Booth, U. S. C. student and son of Mrs. Alice Booth, who resides in the family home at the corner of North and West streets, Anaheim. While enjoying activities in the city park Sunday afternoon, Eugene Booth noticed a little girl who had fallen into the pool as she unwisely attempted to pluck a flower. She went down twice before young Booth could come to her rescue. He plunged into the water, grabbed hold of the youngster and rushed to the edge of the pool where he handed her to spectators ashore. Noting that the girl was receiving proper attention, and that a woman apparently her mother had taken her in charge, the rescuer hurried home to change clothes. And nobody secured the name of the girl or found out where she lived.
