Officers Re-Elected By Farm Center Two Hundred Members Hear Chester Gray, of Missouri, at Annual Meeting Nearly 200 members of the Anaheim Farm Center and of the county Farm Bureau enjoyed a dinner and held their annual meeting at the White Temple M.E. Church Monday re-elected the HITCH-HIKERS AS HEAVY LOAD ON A COMMUNITY Rev. W. O. Trueblood Speaks On Civic Parasites at Chamber of Commerce Diiner A hitch-hiker is not only a boy or man who stands along a highway and wigwags his thumb to get a free ride in an automobile, but he is also one who stands on the street corner and lets other mep drag the load of community expansion, said the Rev. W. O. Trueblood, of Whittier, at the Chamber of Commerce annual dinner at the Elks Club on Monday night. The address by Mr. Trueblood was the feature of the occasion, which was attended by men and women who filled tables in the dining room. The occasion also marked a change in presidents of the Chamber, H. N. White retiring from that office and Lotus H. Loudon assuming its duties. Mr. White said that whatever success Officers Re-Elected By Farm Center Two Hundred Members Hear Chester Gray, of Missouri, at Annual Meeting Nearly 200 members of the Anaheim Farm Center and of the county Farm Bureau enjoyed a dinner and held their annual meeting at the White Temple M. E. Church Monday, re-elected the officers who served last year, and heard an address by Chester Gray, for seven years Washington representatives of the American Farm Bureau Federation, and other speakers. The officers re-elected were: President, L. B. Holderman; vice-president, Timothy Shea; secretary-treasurer, George Vandenberg. Mr. Gray, who said he is a Missouri cotton and hog farmer, spoke on the importance of co-operative movements among the farmers, and said co-operative marketing has been placed upon a definite and permanent basis as the ruling American merchandising principle as a result of the new agricultural marketing act passed by Congress, its permanency being assured by the federal farm board. Farmers of America are no longer fighting among themselves, Mr. Gray said, and are now uniting for the contest for their just share of American prosperity and for an equitable distribution of federal and other tax burdens. J. A. Smiley, of Orange, introduced the speakers, one of whom was Richard Blackburn, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, who briefly discussed the co-operative movement in this state. He announced that the state convention will be held at Aslomar Nov. 10 to 13, and the local center voted $20 to send a car to the meeting. Mr. Steward, representative of the Anaheim center on the county's board of directors, reported that the Orange County Farm Bureau has started a definite move towards solving the gun club water waste problem, as well as for lower telephone rates through a reorganization of the inter-city toll system. Faculty Musicale By School of Fine Arts The Orange County School of Fine Arts will hold its annual faculty musical at Anaheim Union High school at S o'clock tomorrow night, which promises to be one of the musical treats of the autumn. A feature will be three solos by Tudor Williams, noted opera soloist. Two dance numbers will be given by Norma Gould, with Vera Gay as accompanist. Sylvain Noack, head of the violin department, will give a selection, and two stands on the street corner and lets other men drag the load of community expansion, said the Rev. W. O. Trueblood, of Whittier, at the Chamber of Commerce annual dinner at the Elks Club on Monday night. The address by Mr. Trueblood was the feature of the occasion, which was attended by men and women who filled tables in the dining room. The occasion also marked a change in presidents of the Chamber, H. N. White retiring from that office and Lotus H. Loudon assuming its duties. Mr. White said that whatever success had marked his administration was due to cooperation he had had from directors and members. "The Chamber never had a president who worked more diligently than did Mr. White," said the new president, "and we can thank him for the many things which the Chamber has accomplished in the last year." Mr. Loudon said that the Chamber will continue to work for those things which will build up Anaheim. "We are expecting our enterprises to work with labor in this city expansion," he said, "and we expect labor to work with our enterprises." Mr. Trueblood said that on a motor trip to and from Indianapolis caused him to observe hundreds of boys in their teens along auto routes wigwagging their thumbs as they asked for free rides. He said that autolists who give these restless youngsters free rides ought to realize that the boys are on the high road to become mendicants, if not dangerous citizens. "These young hitch-hikers are losing their independence," Mr. Trueblood said. "Some of them in time get pistols and hold up filling stations and drug stores, and then it is only a step to becoming a highwayman and a bank robber." There are hitch-hikers in every community—a lot of them," said the speaker. "They do not stand along the streets wigwagging their thumbs, but in a sense they are riding on the other man's gasoline, just as the hitch-hiker along a highway does. They are expecting a free ride on the Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants' Association and on the good name of Anaheim. "Half the men will not go to the polls to vote, and these non-voters are良 I detest. They are political hitch-hikers who not only do not vote but they say the harshest things against men who are elected to public office by men who do vote. "I would awaken our citizenship to its responsibilities in politics, in the public schools, in the Chambers of Commerce and all those organizations which work for the up-building of our communities. These community hitch-hikers want to live in a well organized, forward-going town, but they do not or will not do anything to help in this development. They want all these community advantages, but they do not want to help get or help pay for them." If left to the community hitch-hikers, we would not have any schools, church, civic clubs. We would not have School of Fine Arts The Orange County School of Fine Arts will hold its annual faculty musicale at Anaheim Union High school at 5 o'clock tomorrow night, which promises to be one of the musical treats of the autumn. A feature will be three solos by Tudor Williams, noted opera soloist. Two dance numbers will be given by Norma Gould, with Vera Gay as accompanist. Sylvain Noack, head of the violin department, will give a selection, and two cello numbers will be player by Marcia Levings. Franz Darvas, concert pianist and teacher, will play Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6" and Daphne Goss Hellerman will read Booth Tarkington's playlet of Revolutionary times, "The Kisses of Marjorie." There is no admission charge and the public is welcome.
