Likes Anaheim, So Opens Store G. N. Zlaket Formerally Opens Establishment on East Center Street Saturday "Anaheim strikes me as being the most prosperous, as well as the most home-like community I have found in Southern California," G. N. Zlaket, who Saturday formally opens the Cut Rate Dry Goods Store at 112 East Center street, stinted Wednesday as he opened the doors of his business establishment. "For several months I've enjoyed a vacation after being in business in West Hollywood for eight years. During these few months I have visited most of the better communities of the Southland, and establishment of my business indicates my decision." Mr. and Mrs. Zlaket and their daughters Helen and Josephine, last week moved to 738 North Lemon street. President is Hostess at W. R. C.

THE WAY OF IT The Radio announcer who seems to be ever present must at times be a sore trial to himself, and perhaps may even hate himself. The Wise Cracker was being announced for the nightly ordeal, when due to some fault in the mechanism he seemed to be unable to proceed. His voice sounded off afar, as though talking in another mike. Was the announcer on his job? He was: "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, politely. "Due to a slight interruption in the mechanical equipment here we regret very much to say that the Wise Cracker will be on the air as soon as the repairs are completed." FUNERAL OF WILLIAM LANEY The funeral of William H. Laney was held Monday afternoon, following his death at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Christmas Mails Show a Decline Outgoing mails from Anaheim to "back east" is moving in smaller volume through the local postoffice, says Postmaster J. H. Whitaker, and he is wondering if the quantity is to be less for the Christmas season, or if gift-givers are depending on Santa Claus to transport the gifts. If givers have been shipping early, they have so far neglected to mail early, for up to Dec. 15. The revenues for the month of the postoffice were $2,500, against for the corresponding period last year. However, business this month, said Postmaster, is about equal to that of 1922. While there is reduced volume of mail going east, there is also a sprinkage in the volume arriving at the local postoffice from that direction. FUNERAL OF WILLIAM LANEY The funeral of William H. Laney was held Monday afternoon, following his death at the home of his daughter, Mrs. LeRoy Lyon, east of Anaheim, where no died Friday after an illness of nine weeks.

Los Angeles, Anaheim, Phone 2430; Res. 4067 Orange County Children at Health Camp Debt of County To Its Children Health Camp Is Worthy Enterprise Which Brings Beneficial Results IT WAS STARTED IN 1924 Christmas Seals Great Help In Its Support BY OLIVE LOPEZ Orange County owes a big debt. Permission to occupy a site near the park and the camp was moved there in 1927. Mr. Irvine and his son, James Irvine, Jr., have taken a great interest in the project and have made it possible to place the children in a veritable paradise, an ideal spot, one of the loveliest in Southern California, located on forest of sheltering live oaks and sycamore banks of the Santiago creek, in a mores. The altitude is excellent for building delicate trail little bodies into strong healthy ones. Every year more people become interested and realize the great need of prevention from the dread "white plague" and more pennies come rolling in for the little Christmas seals, and more substantial gifts are given by citizens who are blessed with plenty of the world's goods, so that now the plant is valued at more than $20,000. The great need now, however, is a hospital for the children, who, from time to time, suffer from diseases peculiar to them. He says that growing children have not been given enough consideration. If they had, President Hoover's welfare committee would not have had to make a report that there are 10,000,000 children in these United States either physically or mentally deficient. This number must prove a shock to thinking people. In Orange county there is a goodly percentage of this startling number, and because of the salubrious climate the children are placed in greater danger by the influx of health seekers. Health camps are operated for physically deficient children who are housed with active cases of tuberculosis; children making poor recoveries from infectious diseases is so low that they are constantly afflicted; in the camp the child is removed from further infection, relieved of mental and physical strain, has a minimum of school work with rest periods, supervised play and proper food. It is astonishing how OFFICIAL RESULTS IT WAS STARTED IN 1924 Christmas Seals Great Help In Its Support BY OLIVE LOPEZ Orange County owes a big debt. It is more than any bonded indebtedness which could be incurred in any project of interest to the citizenry. It is a debt to the children; the little ones who are underweight and under-nourished, with white, pinched little faces and who lack the rosy glow natural in healthy checks. It is the brithight of every child to have good health and it is the duty of parents and government to see that these future citizens have what is their by right. The cause of childhood is greater than state's rights; health protection should be as thoroughly organized as every other department of government. The Orange County Children's Health Camp was started as a health demonstration in 1924. For three years it was carried on during the summer vacation only on an attractive site in Trabuco Canyon, granted by the government. The children were cared for in crude surroundings, and slept under the stars. James Irvine, who owns the beautiful ranch bearing his name, hearing of the inaccessibility of the camp, gave the Orange County Tuberculosis Association a definite duty Every year more people become interested and realize the great need of prevention from the dread "white plague" and more pennies come rolling in for the little Christmas seals, and more substantial gifts are given by citizens who are blessed with plenty of the world's goods, so that now the plant is valued at more than $20,000. The great need now, however, is a hospital for the children, who, from time to time, suffer from diseases peculiar to them. In 1928 the Health Camp became an all-year-round preventiorium with sunshine school. The buildings include a service building, two dormitories, a laundry, shower and locker rooms, a school house, with clinic and isolation room, a cottage for office and four cabins for housing personnel. The grounds are being graded, and flowers, shrubbery and an orchard planted. The staff includes a medical director, who holds a clinic every Wednesday, two trained nurses, two school teachers and a boys' supervisor. Of course, there is a cook, who must prepare just the proper food, a laundress and a general utility man. The present capacity is forty, although during the summer months as many as forty-six were accommodated. Twenty children are in the waiting list at present. Since 1924 when the camp was opened 397 children have been cared for. Dr. F. O. Kaps, tuberculosis expert, who gives his services to the association every Wednesday, says that the Health Camp as conducted by the Orange County Tuberculosis Association is not so experiment. It has a definite duty percentage of this startling number, and because of the salubrious climate the children are placed in greater danger by the influx of health seekers. Health camps are operated for physically deficient children who are housed with active cases of tuberculosis; children making poor recoveries from infectious diseases is so low that they are constantly afflicted; in the camp the child is removed from further infection, relieved of mental and physical strain, has a minimum of school work with rest periods, supervised play and proper food. It is astonishing how quickly they respond to the treatment. Dr. Kaps states that a health camp is not, as often supposed an institution for children with active tuberculosis. The Orange County Children's Health Camp does not admit such cases. Everything known to medical science is done to exclude them. The specialist says that of the thousands of adults suffering from tuberculosis, many can trace their disease from children infection, all of which could have been prevented. This alone is adequate reasoning to establish health camps, but the control of tuberculosis goes much farther. It is controlled by the application of the health camp method, resistance to other diseases is also built up and the result is stronger and healthier children. Dr. Kaps states that children return to their homes from the camp not only improved in health, but with health and other habits valuable to themselves and others. All children leaving the camp have follow-up contracts to see that they are keeping to their schedule. This physician, to whom the county offers so much for his kindly and valuable assistance, urges that it is not only... Sergeant Alvin C.

Boys Celebrate by Show, Winner Bake Nine Anaheim boys with total ages of perhaps less than 16 had the time of their lives Saturday when they celebrated Billy Llewellyn's fourth birthday by going to a theatre matinee, and returning after the show to the boy's home where they retired to the back yard and roasted winners to their heart's content. Billy's birthday achievement will be remembered a long time by the following boys: Dean Pohlemus, Theodore and Maurice Mills, David and Robert Griffith, Richard and Fred Livingston and Edward Dykeman. DIVIDING RIVER WATER Ernest Van Oost was in town yesterday from his ranch in Santa Ana canyon, where he occupies the responsible position of superintending the division of water to irrigators of the Anaheim Union Water company and those of the Santa Ana Valley irrigation district. He has been doing this work seven years to the satisfaction of all concerned. He reports a large quantity of water in the river and grass on the hill sides growing luxuriantly. He lives fifteen miles up the river and makes occasional trips here to see his friends in town and to transact business. Forestry Conclave Meets January 7 Orange County's invitation to the Southern California Association of Foresters and Fire Wardens to hold their next meeting at Santa Ana has been accepted. This group is made up of foresters, fire wardens and cooperating agencies from San Luis Obispo county and south. It is estimated that this meeting on January 7 will attract more than 200 people from outside the county. A public demonstration of pumpers and lightning equipment will be given at 1:30 P.M., just west of the Orion County Park. Every effort will be made to give this demonstration as realistic a touch as possible, so that the comparative effectiveness of the apparatus under fire may be obtained. The program for the day will conclude with a banquet in the evening at Ketterer's Cafe, Santa Ana. Prominent people in forest management will appear on the program. Joe Sherman, County Forester, is saving nothing undone to make this meeting a success for the visitors and local people attending gite sessions. John Osterman and he were largely responsible for getting the meeting here. Members of the Forest Protective Association assisting Mr. Sherman and Mr. Osterman in caring for the local arrangements.
