According to these figures, which will stand for ten years as the official count, Anaheim loses its position as the second city in the county to Fullerton. That neighbor of ours on the north has nosed us out of second place by the narrow margin of three. Anaheim has been claiming a population of 13,500 while Fullerton estimated her total at 12,000, but the official figures have upset the calculations of both. Anaheim's population according to Goode's table, WILL SPEAK ON MARKET STATUS Prof. B. H. Crocheron to Address Orange County Growers at High School In a series of addresses to be given throughout the state, Prof. B. H. Crocheron, director of agricultural extension in the University of California, will tell his findings regarding market possibilities for California crops in the Far East. In announcing this series of lectures, Professor Crocheron says the scheduled talks will be the only ones he will make in the state on the subject. Through the Farm Advisor's office, arrangements have been made for him to address the Orange County people at Anaheim High School auditorium on May 27, at 8 p.m. The report of the investigation, written by Professor Crocheron and W. J. Norton, extension specialist in illustrative material, who accompanied him, is a voluminous document of 366 pages with 120 tables of figures, 20 graphs and 60 illustrations. In his talk, which will be illustrated by slides and moving pictures taken by Norton, he will boil down his findings into three-quarters of an hour.

According to these figures, which will stand for ten years as the official count, Anaheim loses its position as the second city in the county to Fullerton. That neighbor of ours on the north has nosed us out of second place by the narrow margin of three. Anaheim has been claiming a population of 13,500, while Fullerton estimated her total at 12,000, but the official figures have upset the calculations of both. Anaheim's population according to Goode's table is 10,817, while Fullerton's is 10,820. Anaheim's gain was 93.9 per cent, and Fullerton's 145.00 per cent. Every city in the county shows a remarkable gain, but none of them reached the expectations of the residents thereof. Santa Ann, which it was confidently believed by its people would show a count of 35,000, was placed by Mr. Good at 30,166. This is a gain of 94.1 per cent. Orange emerged with a total of 8,929, registering a gain of 66.66 per cent. The city of Brea ran next to Fullerton in percentage of gain, according to Goode's figures. Brea made an increase of 134.8 per cent. Its population today is 2435. In 1920 it was 1037. It made an actual increase of 1398 in its population. Huntington Beach, with a total of 3616, made a climb of 114.3 per cent in the 10-year period. In 1920 1687 people lived in that community, while the total in 1910 was 815. The oil city made an actual gain in numbers amounting to 1929. Seal Beach registered a gain of 73.54 per cent, having a population total today of 1161 as compared to a figure in 1920 of 669. The city made an actual increase of 492. La Habra's population today, is 2265. Placentia's total is 1607. San Clemente has 667 residents. Garden Grove has 924. Tustin has 1818. There was not a single population decrease in Orange county, according to the figures released by Goode. Orange county communities outstripped those of Riverside county completely. In that section there was but one city which made a gain of 100 per cent or more. This city was Ellsnore. Rotary Delegates Go To Oakland H. E. W. Barnes and Dr. Harry Zalser were joint program chairmen at Monday's luncheon of the Rotary club. Miss Dorothy Winters entertained the club with several whistling selections, with Mrs. E. C.

Members present and other business men in the community were urged to use every reasonable effort, such as display space in their windows, and mentioning the orange show in advertising. President Epstein cheered members of the association with observations that as many folks "back east" come to the Los Angeles market area to buy stylish and well-made clothes as there are residents in this district going to New York for the same purpose. The eastern market has price appeal, while the Los Angeles market stresses style leadership and quality, he stated, adding that more favorable working conditions here enabled the workers to turn out a better product. Former Councilman W. D. Grafton urged that a local produce market be established and that business men take the lead in building up a better highway system leading from Anaheim to nearby communities, thus providing more accessible avenues of trade and inter-community relationship.

AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, May 8, 1930 GIVES ANAHEIM 10,817 ENEROUS RAINS SATURATE ALL OF COUNTY Anaheim Gets 1.75 Inches of Water, Bringing the Year's Total to 11.77 Jupiter Pluvius has been very generous to Anaheim and Orange county this season, and has extended his generosity to practically all of the Southland. He unexpected rain which began fall- the last day of April and continuedmittantly until Sunday night added to the season's precipitation, bringing the total up to 11.77 which is 1.72 over last year's total. In every section of the county the season's total is later than the figure for the previous year with the exception of Fuller- where 15.21 inches was recorded a year ago against 11.91 this year. One of the good features of this year's precipitation is the fact that there were no rainstorms in the county floods and snow. Anaheim Youth Goes To Asia As Instructor Melvin Delbert Hilgenfeld, son of the Rev. and Mrs. S. F. Hilgenfeld, of 202 West Broadway, has been engaged as a member of the staff at International college, Smyrna, Turkey. He will remain there for three years and during summer vacations he will be enabled to travel and visit various places of interest in Europe and Asia. International college is one of six colleges under the supervision of the Near East College association. The colleges are: Robert college, Constantinople; American university, Beirut, Syria; Constantinople Woman's college; International college, Smyrna, Turkey; Sofia American schools, Bulgaria, and Athens college, Greece. Hilgenfeld graduated with honors from Fullerton union high school in 1926, being elected to membership in the Alceonian society, the national honor society of high schools. He entered Pomona college in the fall of 1926 and pursued a cultural thesis course, majoring in philosophy, psychology and religion. He graduates next month and leaves immediately for New York to pursue a MANY TO ENTER CONTEST FOR BIG PRIZE Packing Contest at Orange Show to Determine the World's Championship Complete plans for the fourth annual world's orange packing championship contest, a spectacular event which has already drawn entries from practically every citrus-growing area in the world and which will be held in conjunction with "the golden jubilee of the Valencia orange," the California Valencia Orange show here May 22 to June 1, were announced Monday by George W. Reid, manager of the show. Due to the tremendous interest the international event has aroused since its inception here four years ago, the prize money has been more than tripled this year, and, in addition to the silver cup trophies that will be awarded, $1000 will be disbursed among the first ten.

W. Bushard, of this city, will head the student government in the college of Pharmacy at the University of Southern California during the school year 1930-31. In the elections which that college held last Friday—one week earlier than those of all other colleges in the university as well as that of the Associated Students' elections—Bushard defeated his rival, Frank Titus by some twenty votes. Though his election is not a surprise to his friends, the contest was an exceedingly spirited one with neither candidate sure of winning till the finish. The position of president of one of the schools going to make up the university automatically elevates Bushard to membership on the Legislative Council, which body—together with the elected officers of the associated student government—determines all of the university's policies with the help of the administration. Voting strength in the council is determined according to the number of students enrolled in the college. The same enviable record of activities that was his when he attended Anaheim High school has followed Bushard to Southern California where he has taken part in many college affairs. He was vice-president of the all-university sophomore class during the past semester, holding a similar position also on the professional interfraternity council. Francis is affiliated with Phi Delta Chi, professional pharmacy fraternity. The rains of Saturday and Sunday interfered with the American Legion Woman's college; International college, Smyrna, Turkey; Sofia American schools, Bulgaria, and Athens college, Greece. Hilgenfeld graduated with honors from Fullerton union high school in 1926, being elected to membership in the Alceonian society, the national honor society of high schools. He entered Pomona college in the fall of 1926 and pursued a cultural synthesis course, indulging in philosophy, psychology and religion. He graduates next month and leaves immediately for New York to pursue a course in Columbia university, planning to leave New York in time to get to Oberammergaue to see the Passion play and then arrive in Smyrna, Turkey, by the first of September to take up his duties as bursar and instructor. Due to the tremendous interest the international event has aroused since its inception here four years ago, the prize money has been more than tripled this year, and in addition to the silver cup trophies that will be awarded, $1000 will be divided among the first ten teams, $350 going to the individual packer named world's champion. Entries in this year's contest have already been received from all citrus areas in the United States and from Mexico, Cuba and Central American countries, while large orange-packing houses in Mediterranean countries have also indicated their intention of sending contestants, Manager Reid said. The contest is to be run off in heats, starting May 23 with preliminaries, and then continuing for four successive days starting May 26. The contestants are to be required to pack two boxes of oranges and are to be judged on their speed and on the neatness, compactness and general appearance of the packed boxes. The twist in the wrapping and the appearance of the print on the wrapped oranges are also to be considered in the judging. The competition is expected to be unusually intense this year due to the increased awards and the champions of the past three years, Majorle Richards, Eva Christenson and Jessie Wheldon, all Southern California young women, have again entered. Plans for the second annual world’s championship fancy orange packing contest were also announced by Reid. In this contest the packers will be judged on their speed and on the beauty and originality of their design. The entry list for both contests will close May 15. In a report to the Merchants' Association Monday night Manager George W. Reid of the Orange show reported that 13 spaces for feature exhibits had been reserved and that another one would probably be sold within a few days. Dealers have already secured 12 spaces in the automobile tent and airplane manufacturers are expected to take several of the remaining spaces. Up to Monday 471 feet of space for rack display had been sold. For the purpose of stimulating the sale of tickets for the show President Epstein appointed a committee consisting of Oscar Renner, David Morris and himself to work out a plan. A resolution was passed requesting all merchants to decorate their windows in accordance with the motif adopted for the show decorations. Rip Van Winkle will soon be seen in all the show windows of the city, it is expected. Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, Mrs. Gathas and Plan Library At Anaheim School Following the regular meeting of the Anaheim library board of trustees held at the library, plans were made to open branch library at La Palma school immediately following the close of school and kept open to the public on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons until just prior to the beginning of school in September. The demand for the extra day was proven in the success of the branch at La Palma last year. Miss Cannon, Miss Elva Haskett and Miss Wilma Luhring of the library staff, Miss Rea and Miss Grimshaw of the library board of trustees will attend the dinner-program and annual event of officers for the Orange County Library club to be held in the Placentia Round Table clubs on the evening of May 10 at 6:30 o'clock. "Four-Fours" Meet Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dolan very delightfully entertained the Four-Fours on Thursday evening. After enjoying a cumptuous 7 o'clock dinner at a down town cafe, guests were taken to the Dolan-home where the usual game of whist was played during the evening. Mrs. Yungbluth was presented with the ladies prize for high score and John Wallop with the men's. One of the pleasant features of the evening was the presentation by the club of a silver sugar and creamer, to Mr. and Mrs. McCord, on Wednesday celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. The same enviable record of activities that was his when he attended Anaheim High school has followed Bushard to Southern California where he has taken part in many college affairs. He was vice-president of the all-university sophomore class during the past semester, holding a similar position also on the professional interfraternity council Francis is affiliated with Phi Delta Chi, professional pharmacy fraternity. The rains on Saturday and Sunday interfered with the American Legion horse show at the fair grounds, consequently the show was finished Monday night. Some of the finest steeds in California were on parade. Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, Mrs. Gathas and Miss Frances Backs were in Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon attending a matinee performance at the civic Repertory theatre. VALENCIAS HOLD TOP POSITION AS BEACHITES SUCCUMB, 7 TO 5 Valencias are "Slitting On Top of The World". As a consequence, too, they have been "Singing In The Rain," for, like the price brought by Anaheim oranges in the New York market, the Anaheim Valencias under George Pace's leadership pummelled Whittier and climbed to the top of the National league circuit. All of which indicates that this is the Valencia year. Picking up the threads of the athletic drama from last week, the Anaheim congregation of night baseball Friday night took the Whittier squad into camp by the score of 6 to 4 and ousted the speedy Quakers from top position. Then, by virtue of a win Tuesday evening over Huntington Beach by the score of 7 to 5, the Valencias earned their league honors. Incidentally, they also lived, up to the expectations of hopeful backers who Thursday evening (May 8) staged a banquet at the Elks clubhouse with the baseball team and officials as honored guests, and then took the baseballers down to Delhi for the fights. That's a splendid gesture on the part of the fans who are backing the locals to the limit in their stiff first round schedule. It's this type of support which puts the boys out on the field full of vim and vigor, where they send of skin they love to touch" out into the night for home runs and other phenomena. George Pace's boys got to Howard Morning's submarine shots in the seventh, driving him from the mound. Al Bushman, who started for the Valencias headed for the showers when he allowed consecutive blows, with none out, in the seventh. Ochoa went in, fanned two and retired the opposition as Bill Bushman nabbed a foul fly. Fans liked Pace's sportsmanlike move when he permitted the Beachites to send in Maylin after he had been ejected by Umpire Leake. The visitors have been forced to forfeit the game otherwise, since they had no more substitutes. At that, the favored player may have won the game had he come through with a timely hit, but the Valencias ran the chance and came out on the safe side. Pitcher Sutphen, who won his league opener against Olive, will start against La Habra Friday evening. The fans like this style and look for him to repeat.

NOTED ARTISTS TO PARTICIPATE Orange County Peace Officers Staging Big Show at Greek Theatre Residents of the county are to see a local boy who has reached the top rungs of the ladder of vaudeville fame in the all-star theatrical presentation featuring Radio-Kelth-Orpheum headliners opening tommorrow night in the Anaheim open-air theatre under the auspices of the Orange County Peace Officers' association. He is George Lazaronni, of Anaheim, of the team of Joy and Lazaronni, whirlwind skating duo. Since leaving Orange county seven years ago, he has achieved sensational success for his whirlwind evolutions on the rollers. He is teamed with Joy Edwards, a Chicago girl, who is one of the few girls to attain the pinnacle as a skater. Joy and Lazaronni enjoy the distinction of being the first western produced vaudeville act to play in New York City. During their engagements at the Paramount and Roxy theaters in Manhattan they were given an ovation. In Ray Hughes and Palm, singing and dancing comedians, the audience at the Anaheim open-air benefit will see a UNCERTAINTY OF LAW DELAYS PLANS Revaluation of County's Real Estate Halted Until District Attorney Gives an Opinion Revaluation of the real estate of Orange county for taxation purposes, which the supervisors have determined upon, may be delayed somewhat because of a doubt whether or not the board can legally employ outside assistance on the work. The board has been informed that it has no authority under the law to do this, consequently the question has been referred to the district attorney, who has not yet submitted an opinion. When County Assessor James Sleeper requested the appointment of additional deputies to assist in this work, the question was sprung, consequently it was referred to the district attorney before action was taken. STUDY LOWERING OF WATER LEVEL Engineers Installing Automatic Recorders Throughout the County The first of a series of 10 automatic continuous water level recorders was installed Monday near Richfield by Murray Thompson, engineer in charge of the Orange county flood control office. The installations are being made as part of a study of water level conditions in the Santa Ana river basin in Orange county in co-operation with U. S. Geological survey and under the direction of the board of consulting engineers selected several months ago by the directors of the flood control district. The flood control office reported that recent checks of a number of wells in the county, taken in connection with the present survey of the water table, show declines in levels from the last figures, taken in the state survey under the direction of Major William S. Post, hydraulic engineer, which was completed in 1928. The figures reveal a lowering of the levels of approximately one foot per year, it is reported. Tax Factors, Inc., an outside firm of experts, made the revaluation in San Diego county. Proceedings by which this revaluation was authorized are being investigated by the district attorney's office, Deputy S. B. Kaufman informed the supervisors. Kaufman stated that he was unwilling to render an informal opinion on the point in question until an adequate study could be made. San Diego county, he said, relied upon a certain court decision for its authority to make the revaluation through unofficial agencies, but the law generally, he said, is opposed to employing special aid outside of the assessor's office to do the work of the assessor. Sleeper asked for six men to be employed at $10 per day and a seventh, as overseer, at $15 per day, to start work August 1 and revalue sub-divisions. The assessor has steadily contended that all other character of assessments are well in hand, but that lack of adequate help has hampered him in keeping pace with sub-dividing activities. He suggested to the board that it reserve the power of halting the revaluation if the supervisors felt that the work was being done improperly. Supervisor William Schiumacher and John Mitchell expressed their belief that Sleeper's suggestion is impractical. Supervisor Charles Chapman, however, moved that the communication be filed pending a report from the district attorney, pointing out that until the question of authority is settled there is no point in considering the merits of the plan. Observe Birthday of Young Chas. Linger Members of the Linger family gathered in Santa Ana last Friday to observe the eleventh birthday of Charles Linger, son of Mrs. Mary A. Linger, manager of the Hotel Southland of Anaheim. The birthday dinner is an annual feature of the family social calendar. Charles received appropriate gifts. Ebell Elects Officers One of the largest attended and most delightful general meetings of Ebell was that of Monday when election of officers for the ensuing year took place. The business meeting was preceded by The flood control office reported that recent checks of a number of wells in the county, taken in connection with the present survey of the water table, show declines in levels from the last figures, taken in the state survey under the direction of Major William S. Post, hydraulic engineer, which was completed in 1928. The figures reveal a lowering of the levels of approximately one foot per year, it is reported. Thompson has been working with some 150 wells throughout the county, beginning at the mouth of the Santa Ana canyon, and covering the entire county. Checks have been made on the wells to determine locations where the automatic recording apparatus, which is furnished by the U.S. Geological Survey, will be installed. The engineer pointed out that the wells to be used by this apparatus should be isolated so that surrounding conditions will not reflect on the record. The equipment can be installed only in wells in which there is no pumping equipment. Wells that have been selected by Thompson and his two assistants for installation of the recording machines, in addition to the one near Richfield, which was put in Monday are located near Buena Park, Santa Ana, Delhi, and El Modena. Records will be submitted to the U.S. Geological Survey, although the work will be done by the county flood control and water conservation district, and also will become part of the records of that body. Maps used in connection with the work were prepared by the state's Santa Ana survey engineers in 1927 and show the location of underground hydrographic contour lines. Recent rains have raised the level in some cases, it was pointed out, but have not influenced it in others. This difference is accounted for by the varying rates of percolation in different types of underground soil structure. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Troutman of Anaheim were guests Sunday evening at the third wedding anniversary celebration of Mr. and Mrs. George Michel, of Los Angeles. The host and hostess formerly were Anahelm residents Ebell Elects Officers One of the largest attended and most delightful general meetings of Ebell was that of Monday when election officers for the ensuing year took place. The business meeting was preceded by a Spanish luncheon. Terry Stevenson of Santa Ana was the luncheon speaker and his discourse on early California history was intensely interesting. Leah Pemberton sang a group of old Spanish songs among them La Paloma. Immediately after luncheon the election was held and officers for the coming year were elected as follows: Mrs. J. W. Harpster, president; Mrs. Joe Walters, first vice-president; Mrs. Kraemer, second vice-president; Mrs. C. C. Sidnam, recording secretary; Mrs. Harry Horn, corresponding secretary; Mrs. William Grafton treasurer; Mrs. Louis Danz, parliamentarian; Mrs. R. L. Royalty, curator; Mrs. Inez Yeats, librarian, and Mrs. F. A. Youngbluth, historian. Directors elected were Mrs. Harbison, Mrs. Dan Granada and Mrs. J. W. Truxaw. Delegates elected to attend with Mrs. Harbison the annual state convention of Federated Women's clubs in Oakland, May 14-17, were Mrs. Harpster, Mrs. Walters and Mrs. Danz. Alternates are Mrs. J. R. Skewis, Mrs. F. L. Williams and Mrs. E. C. Kendrick. Mrs. Sam Kraemer, Jr., arranged the program but was prevented by illness from being present, in her absence Mrs. C.E.Harbison, president, introduced the artists on the program. The outstanding feature of the afternoon was the lecture of Carrie Jacobs Bond, beloved California musician and composer who based her talk in her book "The Road to Melody." Mrs.Bond gave several of her compositions at the close of her talk. Dr.A Arthur Freidham, member of the faculty at the University of Music and Arts at Long Beach, a pupil of Liszt gave several beautifully rendered piano numbers.
