He was alone in the house at the time, his wife being on a visit to friends in the east.

Desire for higher education in his chosen field is the driving power that is sending young Helde on a second-hand motorcycle across two-thirds of the United States and into a city he does not know and has never seen. Although he does have distant relatives there, he expects to live by himself and carry on, during the university year, a combination school and work program. The major portion of his work will be in the Institute of American Meat Packers, a subsidiary of the college of commerce which is devoted to instruction in methods used by the great meat packing corporations of America in the handling of their various products, the marketing of them and related subjects. His work, however, will not be entirely in this line. Some of it will be in stead of the family on the west side was found dead Thursday morning, having expired during the night or early in the morning. He was alone in the house at the time, his wife being on a visit to friends in the east. The funeral was delayed awaiting the arrival of his wife, who was in Maine, but on receipt of a telegram announcing his death, wired that she was leaving immediately for California.

Dean Bode, formerly pastor of St. Michael's Episcopal church here, but now resident of South Pasadena, and the body was laid to rest in the family plot in old Anaheim cemetery. Charles Carroll, who would have reached his fortieth birthday on September 4, was a native of Anaheim. He was the son of Tim Carroll, a pioneer of this city. Tim Carroll was one of the first nurserymen in this section, supplying orange trees to the growers who were beginning to develop the citrus land, and he was also an inventor. Among the many useful things he invented was the beet dump, and this brought him a large fortune. This was a godsend to the beet industry, as before its introduction loading of beets into cars was a tedious operation and long lines of wagons would wait in line for hours for an opportunity to unload. The advent of the Carroll dump changed all this, as it was run up onto a raised platform and dumped its load into the car within a minute. Mr. Carroll eventually discovered that beet growers in other states were using this dump without paying him royalty. He brought suit and was given a judgment. The accumulated royalties paid to him on the order of the court aggregated a fortune. Charles Carroll, at the time of his death owned an interest in an $7 acre orange grove on the west side, and he was also a half owner of the Carroll business building on North Los Angeles street. Besides he was the owner of two or three other orange groves. He was married five years ago, but left no children. Besides his wife he is survived by a brother, Joseph Carroll, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Clark, both of this city. Palibearers at the funeral yesterday were Volter Koehler, Earl Steadman, Frank Arnold, L. D. Conover, Lawrence Kelly and Charles Fisher, all old friends of the deceased. Rev. L. T. Barkman Resigns Pastorate The Rev. L. T. Barkman has severed his connection with the Calvary Baptist church here after having served as pastor of the congregation for the past two years. He plans to enter into evangelistic work. Rev. Barkman's resignation is to take effect the first of August but with his annual month's vacation coming at this not know and has never seen. Although he does have distant relatives there, he expects to live by himself and carry on, during the university year, a combination school and work program. The major portion of his work will be in the Institute of American Meat Packers, a subsidiary of the college of commerce which is devoted to instruction in methods used by the great meat packing corporations of America in the handling of their various products, the marketing of them and related subjects. His work, however, will not be entirely in this line. Some of it will be in commercial law, and he has desires of giving part of his time to courses in foreign service. If it his fortune to receive a position with any of the packing companies in their foreign plants, his school work will, he figures, be a great help to him. His matriculation will take place about Oct. 1, and school will last through three quarters until June 1. He will enter as second semester sophomore and with the schooling he expects to take one of the summers there, he will graduate with the class of '32. Until that time he will be away from this city as he will stay in the east during the summers, working the one going to school the other. The trip overland will take him through four principal cities, Albuquerque, Denver, St. Louis, and Chicago. He will visit with friends and relatives at each of them, and will arrive at his destination the latter part of August. Interested-in track and field athletics. Heide plans to witness the British-American track meet to be held at Soldier's Field, Chicago, towards the end of the summer. This will be one of the few bits of pleasure which he will permit himself as the trip is one of education, first, last, and always. He carries with him the sincerest hopes of the many friends which his likeable self has gained for him during the four years spent in Anaheim high school and the following two which he has just completed in Fullerton junior college.

William McPherson, presidential elector and prominent in political and civic life at Santa Monica for 50 score of years, this week was mourned by his niece Mrs. Jane Helmson of Anaheim and local friends. Funeral services were conducted Sunday at Elks' temple, Santa Monica. Mr. McPherson during his very early boyhood lived with his parents at Westminster, and was well acquainted in northern Orange county. His father, a pioneer in the grape industry, settled the town which later became known as McPherson. A. William McPherson first started his business career as a telegraph operator, later becoming agent at Santa Monica. He was connected as manager at Santa Monica with the United Electric and Gas Company, and upon division of the company, with the Edison company. He was born at San Jose in October, 1871, and died last Wednesday at Loamshler Hospital, following an appendicitis operation.

AHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California, Thursday, July 17, 1930 He’s from Land of Midnight Sun, But Never Saw It so Hot as Here P. F. Mauer is from the land of the midnight sun but he never saw the sun so hot as it was this week in Anaheim. Mauer, who arrived in Southern California on the fifth day of January to visit his brother Frank, owner of a furniture store at 114 North Los Angeles street, has been a resident of Alaska for a great many years. In fact, on the last trip to the acquisition bought by the United States from Russia he stayed just 14 years. "You know, I've worked all winter by candle light and trekked over the Yukon for gold when the sun beamed down on us at midnight, but I never have seen it as hot as this week proved to be," he said Wednesday. "It gets plenty black outside during the winter in the land where prospecting still is the big business, but last Sunday was the first time little black specks appeared before my eyes. I must explain, however, that I was working on my chicken ranch located in a pocket in the Santa Ana canyon. I imagine it was a great deal hotter there than in Anaheim or vicinity. Also, I must explain that I haven't had time to get acclimated." Mauer spent the major potion of the last 14 years at Manley Hot Springs on the Tannana river on the interior of Alaska. The springs are located about 90 miles from the Yukon river. He stated that the sun was visible for 24 hours a day for about three weeks in summer, and that twilight was the darkest part of the day for several more weeks. During the winter no sun was visible for several weeks, but when it did begin to appear it rose half an hour earlier and set half an hour later each day. COOPERATE IN FIRE FIGHTING ORANGE MONIES ARE POURING IN CITIES DEMAND MORE GAS TAX MONEY Representatives of Eight Municipalities Present Grievance To Supervisors Tuesday The cities of Orange county have risen up an demanded a larger share in the gas tax which is allotted to Orange county by the state for use in improving roads and streets. Representatives of eight municipalities appeared before the board of supervisors Tuesday and presented their grievance to that body. The delegation was composed of L. E. Miller of Anahelm, M. J. Johnson of Newport Beach, Albert Launer of Fullerton, O. A. Kreighbaum of Fullerton, Edward M. McDonald of Brea, Hal Warner of San Clemente, George Raymer, Clyde Jenken, Frank Purinton, L. M. Banks, Stanley Goode, and J. L. McBride of Santa Ana. A number of Petitions asking the allocation of funds from the gas tax money for use in city street improvements were presented to the board by Johnson who stated that the petitions COOPERATE IN FIRE FIGHTING Farm Bureau Asks Aid of Cities in Combatting the Rural Fires To the Police and Fire Departments of Orange County Towns and Cities, and other Interested Parties: gentlemen: This general letter is written to you because we know that you are interested in aiding in controlling fires and eliminating as far as possible property damage and loss. On the afternoon of July 4, the little village of La Jolla was partially destroyed by fire. We have many communities of this kind in Orange County that have no fire equipment. In order to protect, as far as possible, situations of this kind our Board of Supervisors made a cooperative agreement with the Forestry Division of the State of California and located a State Forest Ranger in Orange County with headquarters at 594 Glassell Street, Orange. Mr. Joe Sherman is in charge of that work in Orange County outside of incorporated cities. In case of any fires coming to your attention, we would urge you to advise Mr. Sherman. We do not mean to say that you should not do as you have in the past, call on city fire departments, but you would render a great service if you would call immediately to Mr. Sherman at Orange 1113, so that he can also get his organization into action. You may wonder why the Farm Bureau is writing you this letter. I would state that our present reason is that our members may have a home entirely outside of incorporate limits and consequently the agricultural property is dependent to a large extent upon the proper function of this rural fire service. We have during the past two or three years developed a department in the Farm Bureau known as the Orange County Forestry Protective Association. This is a group of men who have agreed to volunteer their services in case of hay, grain, brush or other serious rural fires. We have tool caches located throughout Orange County. Our crew leaders have keyes to these caches and act as leaders in their community in this fire suppression work. We thank you very much for your fast cooperation in fire work outside of towns and cities and feel that we have our cooperation to the extent that we ORANGE MONIES ARE POURING IN First Paying-out of Pool No. 1 Is Announced; First Payments Nearing $2,000,000 Indications that first-payment monies received by grove owners in Orange county soon will reach the $2,000,000 mark were noted this week as many associations began work on the second and third pools, and others were winding up affairs on the first pools. First paying-out of pool was announced by Bradford Brothers of Placentia for the week ending July 26. Evidence that the citrus fruit money is pouring into northern Orange county, in addition to publishing of first payments by local associations last week and the week previous, is seen in statements from the following: Hillside Groves, Olive: More than $85,000, or $2 per field box, has been paid out within the last few weeks. Manager F. B. Maxwell states that about 45 per cent of the association's crop has been picked, and that he looks for prices on fruit to advance as the season advances. By July 10, 42,500 boxes of fruit had been shipped. The association now is well on its second pool. Bradford Brothers, Placentia: Paying out of the first pool, the total of which was not made public, will be made during the week ending July 26, according to Manager Glenn Wiley. Advance payment of $2.50 per packed box was made several weeks ago. First pool was completed about the middle of June, and work began on the second pool on June 19. Another pool probably will get under way about August 1. Manager Wiley estimated that about 45 to 46 per cent of his association's crop had been picked this week. Yorba Linda Citrus association: Advance payment May and June lemon picking on the basis of two cents per pound, totaling about $33,000, has been made. Advance payment of $4 on the first grade, and $3 on the second grade, for a total of $100,000, has been paid per packed box, according to Manager P. W. Damon. Over 30,000 boxes, about half of the crop, have been shipped on the yearly pool. A number of Petitions asking the allocation of funds from the gas tax money for use in city street improvements were presented to the board by Johnson, who stated that the petitions carried the signatures of city officials of chambers of commerce and influential business men and civic leaders in all the communities represented and that the petitions probably carried a more distinguished list of names than any other petitions ever before presented to the board of supervisors. All of the petitions brought out the fact that there was dissatisfaction with the way the board was allocating the funds and set up the claim that the cities should have a fairer share in the distribution of this money. Many of the cities declared that they had never received a cent of aid from the share of the gas tax that is annually refunded to the county by the state, and which it was said amounted to about $350,000 annually. Anaheim's petition declared that from $22,000 to $33,000 was spent annually in the gas tax but that all this had been spent outside the city. Fullerton set up the assertion that no assistance from the county ever had received and that they contributed $32,900 annually that was received by the county from the $98,800 tax that its citizens paid. Brea also declared that it never had received any assistance from the county from the fund in question. Laguna Beach made the claim that its road were used more by outside motorists than they were by its own citizens, as many of the other municipalities had pointed out. The petition from San Clemente had not been brought to the meeting but is to be forwarded to the board. The board, through its chairman, Willard Smith, assured the delegation that the matter would have its consideration and study and that a decision would be transmitted to them after the matter had been investigated from all angles. He also pointed out that they might be restricted by an interpretation of law governing the matter by the district attorney's office. Funeral Services for M. Dandy, Thursday Funeral services for Robert M. Dandy, Canadian farmer who had retired an dived in Anaheim for nearly a decade, were held from the Backs-Terry and Campbell chapel Thursday afternoon, with Rev. Mr. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, officiating. Burial followed We have during the past two or three years developed a department in the Farm Bureau known as the Orange County Forestry Protective Association. This is a group of men who have agreed to volunteer their services in case of hay, grain, brush or other serious rural fires. We have tool caches located throughout Orange County. Our crew leaders have keyes to these caches and act as leaders in their community in this fire suppression work. We thank you very much for your last cooperation in fire work outside of towns and cities and feel that we have our cooperation to the extent that we may call upon you whenever needed. We hope that you feel the same towards our organization and we urge that you call Mr. Sherman whenever the occasion demands. Yours very truly, ROLAND D. FLAHERTY, Executive-Secretary.

MANY DIVORCES IN THIS STATE One-Third of All Marriages Performed Result in Separation Nearly one out of every three marriages in California ends in the divorce court. This was disclosed here by the State Bureau of Vital Statistics, from marriage and divorce figures compiled by the United States Bureau of Commerce. Last year, for example, there were 51,866 marriages performed in California as compared with 46,945 in 1928, an increase of 10.5 per cent. In 1916 there were 30,996 marriages. During the same period there were 15,100 divorces granted in the state, as compared with 14,431 in 1928, representing an increase of 4.6 per cent. Orange county showed a total of 231 divorces in 1929 as compared with 180 for the year 1928. Marriages numbered 3,780 for the year as compared with 3,478 for 1928. There were nine annulments. The extremely small gain in annulments—from 1,441 in 1928 to 1,486 in 1929—was due, a according to authorities, to California's new "gin marriage" act, which requires couples to give three days' notice of intention to wed, before they are issued marriage licenses. Estimated population of California in 1929 was 4,679,000 and in 1928 was 4,556,000. On the basis of these estimates, the number of marriages per 1000 population was 11.1 in 1929 as against 10.3 in 1928. Los Angeles headed the state in number of divorces, having 7,115 last year and 6,427 the year before. There were 724 annulments during the 12 month period. Alpine county showed a clean record of no marriages and no divorces for the two-years. Funeral Services for M. Dandy, Thursday Funeral services for Robert M. Dandy, Canadian farmer who had retired an dived in Anaheim for nearly a decade, were held from the Backs-Terry and Campbell chapel Thursday afternoon, with Rev. Mr. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, officiating. Burial followed at Loma Vista cemetery, Fullerton, in a family plot. Death occurred Tuesday morning.

And Sunny Cal, long famous for its invigorating zephyrs and nights of comfort under at least one wool blanket, wilted under the concentrated rays of the brilliant earth-heater to the extent of letting the mercury climb to as high as 102 degrees in Anaheim. The "hot spell," which usually winds swept the countryside and Sol's work of the early morning began to weaken enough to permit comfort. Of interest are the comparative thermometer figures this week. Beginning Saturday the mercury climbed to 94 degrees. Sunday saw the red line rest at 98, and Monday up went the heat indicator to 102 degrees.

Santa Ana and Fullerton to Hold Conference Tuesday PUBLIC CONCERT ENJOYED BY THOUSANDS Noted Musicians Give First of Season's Open Air Concerts at City Park The first of the summer's series of open air concerts at the city park was given Thursday evening by Charles Wakefield Cadman, the famous composer, and his quartet Thursday night. Anahelm is a music-loving town, and two thousand persons greeted the noted singers. The program was composed entirely of Cadman's compositions. Cadman's quartet is composed of Roselle Barker Frye, Contralto; Harold Kellogg, bass; Margaret Messer, soprano; Otto Ploetz, tenor. The principal number on the program was "The White Enchantment," an operetta in which all were cast in important parts. It was one of its first presentations to the public, but it is certain to make a popular hit. The text was written by Nelle Richmond Eberhard and the music by Cadman. A group of selected songs present AGAIN TALKING COUNTY J.C. Santa Ana and Fullerton to Hold Conference Tuesday Night Agitation for a county union junior college, which has been strongly pushed in various localities of the county, is to result in a joint meeting of the board of trustees of the Fullerton junior college with the Santa Ana board of education Tuesday night. The session is scheduled to be held at the office of the Santa Ana board at eight o'clock. Plans for a union junior college have been under discussion by county educational authorities and committees of the associated chambers of commerce for some time and various plans have been broached. At one time the Fullerton Junior college was thought to be out of the deal, but the fact that the controlling board of this institution is to meet with the Santa Ana board for a discussion is taken as an indication that the matter may yet reach fruition with all the school districts of the county included. The creation of a county junior college should mean the building of a fine institution of this character, as sufficient valuation would be included to provide adequate funds for the project. It is reported that the meeting with the Fullerton board is at the invitation of the Santa Ana board an dthat the matter was suggested by members of the chamber of commerce organization which has been active in an effort to bring the union junior college into being. Push Negotiations For a State Park Negotiations toward securing a state park near Huntington Beach were pushed this week when the appraisal board named by the Orange county supervisors and a representative of State Park Commission Chairman H.

A group of selected solos presented with Cadman at the piano and the members of the quartet furnishing the vocal music, were on the program, "At Dayning" and "The Land of Sky Blue Waters," being among the numbers. This is the first of a series of open air concerts to be given at the Greek Theatre this season. There will be one every Thursday evening during July and August, and only first-class talent will be engaged. These concerts have been popular during past seasons, and are expected to attract thousands of music lovers, not only from Anaheim but from neighboring cities. Tonight's program will be presented by the Long Beach Municipal band, one of the best musical organizations in Southern California. Dr. Bigham, chairman of the entertainment committee, opened the program with a formal welcome to the city's guests from other points, an announcement of coming attractions, a review of the park's recreational features and a brief history of the development of this civic center as one of the most outstanding in the state.
