And more than that, the sheriff destroyed a number of stills, which he and his deputies had captured on various raids. The destruction program was held on the lawn of the courthouse and was attended by many church women and leaders of the dry cause in the county. Mrs. R. W. Jones, an El Monte dry leader, smashed the first bottle of liquor that went into the sewer. Large quantities of saki, taken from a Japanese distiller; 150 gallons of pure alcohol, captured when a rum-running airplane was forced to land in the Trabuco hills; kegs, barrels, stoves, vats, and stills made up a display that covered a large section of the courthouse lawn.

Began in February, 1930 There has been county-wide interest in the work of the engineers, for they have gone into all the important phases of this leading subject. The engineers—Chairman T. E. Meanes, and G. A. Elliott, of San Francisco, and Prof. B. A. Etcheverry, of Berkeley—began their work with a study of the county's water shed and run-off system in February of last year, and have since continued with an exhaustive investigation of the whole water problem. The three engineers were engaged after the voters of the county had defeated a water conservation and flood control program under which it was proposed to spend $16,500,000 for flood control works; chief of which was to be a large dam in the Santa Ana River in Santa Ana cayon. Northern Men Made Survey Opponents of the flood control program argued that the Santa Ana canyon dam at Prado was not correctly located and that the construction price was exorbitant. Following the defeat of the Bailey plan for flood control the Supervisors ordered an entirely new survey made and selected Northern California men to do the work so that they would not be subjected to any influences peculiar to Southern California water problems. The report is now being printed and nothing of its contents has been made public. Novel Banquet Given by School Latin Club The Latin club of Anaheim Union High school gave a novel banquet, followed by a program, at the school Friday evening, which was attended by more than 100, including parents of members, and Mr. and Mrs. J.

The menu card was besprinkled with Latin words. Members of the club were regaled in Roman costumes, and a make-believe Roman youth stood at the door warning those who entered not to start off on the left foot, a bad omen at a Roman feast of old. Joe Badger offered sacrifice to the ancient gods and John Blewitt made a plea for their indulgence. Two freshmen, in the role of slaves, brought in a boar's head to the feasters. Mr. Clayes gave a brief talk, followed by a group of songs by a boys' quartet, and a Roman playlet and operetta followed.

AHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California, Thursday, April 23, 1931 Worse Than War By Albert T Reid DEATHS FROM AUTOMOBILES IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE THE WAR, 264,449. OR MORE THAN 5 TIMES THE NUMBER WE LOST IN THE WAR! THERE ARE ! THE FACTS! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? DEATH Fruit Growers Supply Co. Cut 83,000,000 Feet of Lumber in Last Year The two lumber mills of the Fruit Growers Supply Company stood fourth in the total amount of lumber produced in California, according to A. E. Barnes, assistant general manager of the company. "During 1930 the mills cut a total of 83 million feet of lumber," stated Mr. Barnes. "This compares with 106 million, 97 million and 90 million feet of lumber cut during the year by the three other large lumber companies in California. Outlooks for 1931 "Though a large amount of lumber is cut annually by the mills of the Fruit Growers Supply Company, estimates show that the capital investment in timber land and mills amounts to only approximately 20 per cent of the investment of the three other large lumber companies in California. "During 1930 the production of lumber on the Pacific Coast was curtailed approximately 30 per cent over the production of 1929," continued Mr. Barnes. "Present estimates indicate that total Pacific Coast lunney production will decline to 20 per cent below the 1930 figures during the present year. In fact many of the smaller lumber companies will not operate during 1931." Strong Normal Demand "However, there is still a strong nor- Who'll Be Queen of Orange Show?

This coupon may be voted for any contestant in any high school district, but it must be placed in the ballot box of the high school district which the contestant whose name is filled in, is seeking to represent. Ballot boxes are located at the registration offices of the high schools. Keen competition is already evident among students of the various institutions, all of whom are eager to have one of their co-eds reign at the exposition, so early voting is urged.

ENGINEERS' CLUB MEETS The Orange County Engineers' Club met at Laguna Beach, Friday night, when the chief speaker was S. S. McClure, former magazine publisher, whose subject was "Organization of Human Government," based on his ideas of what a government should be. The speaker was introduced by Sumner V. Crosby, publisher of the South Coast News. SHERIFF MAKES APPOINTMENT Sheriff Logan Jackson has appointed Mrs. Alice Cole as his office deputy. It First Valencias Leave for Overseas Left Piers at Wilmington With Liverpool as Destination, Few days Ago The first over-seas shipment of Orange county Valencias left the piers at Wilmington a few days ago, with Liverpool as the destination. It was also the first shipment to be made to a distant market. The packing season for the crop has not yet really opened, but active preparations for it are under way, and about May 1 the machinery in the packing houses of Anaheim and other points in Orange county will begin their busy runs. New Addition About Ready The Anaheim Orange-Lemon Association will soon have its new 100-foot addition ready for beginning its Valencia season, said G. W. Sandilands, manager. Construction of the addition has kept a force of workmen busy through the winter, and has largely increased the working space on main floor and basement. The financing of the structure has been taken care of by the revolving fund of the association. While a bumper crop is now on the Valencia trees, said Mr. Sandiland, he is confident that the approaching season will be a satisfactory one to the growers. World Production Increasing The U. S. Department of Agriculture announces from Washington City that During 1930 the production of lumber on the Pacific Coast was curtailed approximately 30 per cent over the production of 1929," continued Mr. Barnes. "Present estimates indicate that total Pacific Coast lumber production will decline to 20 per cent below the 1930 figures during the present year. In fact many of the smaller lumber companies will not operate during 1931. Strong Normal Demand However, there is still a strong normal demand for lumber to be made into wooden containers, so that with decreasing production of lumber on the Pacific Coast the Fruit Growers Supply Company's two lumber mills will become increasingly important in protecting the requirements of Exchange members for citrus shook during this period of slack production. The Supply Company is of great importance in protecting the citrus industry by assuring an adequate supply of box shook to fill requirements in any year needed," continued Mr. Barnes. "If an emergency arose, there two mills have the capacity to furnish enough box shook to move the entire California citrus crop. However, the basis of the Supply Company's lumber mills' operations is to furnish Exchange citrus growers with adequate quantities of box shook when necessary, and to protect Exchange growers against any unjust advance on box shook prices." RETIRES FROM MISSION WORK Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Coyne, who have retired after seven years of mission work in India, have come to Ariaheim to live and have opened their home at 919 West Broadway. Dr. Coyne was at the head of a mission hospital, the only one within 100 miles and serving a population of 2,000,000 people. He was graduated from Loma Linda Medical college and before going to India was for four years superintendent of White Memorial hospital in Los Angeles.

PHONE 2414 THE GAZETTE For Results World Production Increasing The U.S. Department of Agriculture announces from Washington City that world production of oranges and grapes is increasing faster than consumption, and the increase is expected to continue as non-bearing areas come into production. "The world-wide increase in production is causing considerable concern as to the disposal of the increasing orange surpluses," the Department said. "To this end many countries have passed legislation in an endeavor to improve the packing and trading of their export fruit so as to obtain better prices. Such regulations have been put into effect recently in Spain, Palestine, Argentina, Brazil and Italy." Face Keener Competition As a result, the Department said, American oranges and grapefruit will face Keener competition. The United States, the largest producer of oranges, formerly confined the bulk of its orange exports to Canada, but larger crops have made it necessary to seek additional markets. Total domestic production of oranges has increased from an average of 21-400,000 boxes in the five-year period from 1915-1919 to 38,580,000 from 1925 to 1929. This season the crop is placed at 49:11:00 boxes, the second largest on record. DEATH OF W. S. TOPTON Will S. Topton, formerly a well known Anaheim lawyer, who 16 years ago went to Los Angeles to live, died at his home in that city Monday night. Funeral services were held at the Backs, Terry & Campbell chapel this afternoon, with burial at the Anaheim cemetery. Mr. Topton was 67 years old and is survived by Mrs. Toyton and son, Cyril S. Topton. Edwin Clark, a teacher in the Anaheim public schools over 40 years ago, and who is still beloved by grown up girls and boys who were his pupils, died in Los Angeles a week ago, and his funeral was held, with services by the Elks lodge and Christian Science church with burial at Forest Lawn cemetery, last Monday. Mr. Clark was a native of New York state and taught school in Anaheim in 1885 and 1886. In 1887, he became the first principal of the Fullerton schools and in that year he married Miss Mary Smith of that city. His wife and a son and a daughter survive him. For the last 23 years Mr. Clark had been a traveling salesman for a Los Angeles school supply company. He had been ill for a year and a stroke of paralysis was the immediate cause of his death. He was 69 years old. Long Beach Man Make Disclaimer No Present Intention of Taking Orange County Water in Purchase of Land While a disclaimer was made at an official conference on the suspected invasion of Long Beach of the Santa Ana River. No Present Intention of Taking Orange County Water in Purchase of Land While a disclaimer was made at an official conference on the suspected invasion of Long Beach of the Santa Ana water resources, held in Santa Ana last week, there is a lurking suspicion that if Long Beach does not intend to take water from the river basin, why should it desire a tract of land in Orange county? Injunction Sult Pending The Orange county men attending the conference were assured that Long Beach has no present intention of increasing its holdings in this county beyond the 75-acre tract which Long Beach proposes to purchase. An injunction sult against the purchase has been filed in court by a Long Beach taxpayer. The 75 acres is now owned by the Los Alamitos Sugar Co. Spokesmen for Long Beach impressed upon the meeting that the tract in Orange county probably never would be used for water development; that it would be obtained as a "last resort" source of water; that upon completion of the acqueduct which would bring Colorado river water into Southern California cities, Long Beach would never have to resort to the Santa Ana river basin as a source of supply. Warning Is Issued Anaheim men at the conference gave warning that if Long Beach made the invasion, they would find a legal battle on their hands. The conference was attended by P. A. Stanton, of Anaheim, who was instrumental in arranging for the meeting; Horace C. Head, attorney for the Anaheim Union and Santa Ana Valley water companies; Paul Bailey, engineer for the Orange County Flood Control district; J. J. Dwyer, of Anaheim; Supervisor William Schumacher, of Buena Park; E. E. Campbell, of Orange. The representatives of Long Beach said they came as private citizens and not as official representatives of that municipality. Among them were City Manager Lewis, City Attorney Reld, who is the Long Beach director on the Metropolitan Water Board; City Water Superintendent Shaw, and Water Commissioners Ahleswede, Steele, Dickinson and Shinner. Sentiment Against Purchase "In view of such a Long Beach attitude, the people of Orange county probably will not have objection if necessity should, in the future, drive Long Beach into Orange county for water," Earl E. Campbell, head of the Anaheim, opening last Friday evening and continuing through Sunday. It brought together over 500 young men and women who registered their attendance, with many more who did not register, and for two days and nights inspirational addresses, departmental meetings, banquets and festivals of song marked the occasion. Herman Landis Is President The Orange county organization also made up its staff of leaders for the coming year by electing Herman Ladis of Garden Grove, president, to succeed Miss Dorothy Abbot, of Placentia, who made a good record in the office the past year. The list of vice-presidents includes Alfreda Forsberg, Santa Ana; Margaret Schnelder, Anaheim; Noboru Tamura, Wintersburg; Clarence Kelley, Fullerton, and Charles Crumrine, Jr., San Juan Capistrano; Glen Moody, El Modena, secretary, and Earl Zahl, Anaheim, treasurer.

The Rev. Paul Younger, Garden Grove, was elected county pastoral counselor, and C. L. Green, Placentia, was chosen hospital chaplain. With registration totaling 558, a new record was made for attendance. "Joy" the Convention Theme The first session was held at the Christian church on Friday evening, the speaker being A. J. Shartle, field secretary of the International society, who spoke on "The Joy of Being a Christian," the theme of the convention being "Joy." Mr. Shartle said that the Christian Endeavor is the strongest young people's Christian organization in the world, having societies in all countries except Russia, with total membership of 40,000,000. On Saturday night an inspirational address was given by the Rev. Dr. D. Webster Kurtz, of the First Church of the Brethren, Long Beach, who spoke on "The Joy in Bringing Others to Christ." His address was preceded by a banquet served by the women of the Presbyterian church, which was attended by about 500, and the Rev. Aldis L. Webb, of Eastside Christian church, Long Beach, was the speaker. He spoke of the brilliant success of the Christian Endeavor and said that the success was possible because the society was found- In Increasing ment of Agriculture Washington City that oranges and grapes than consumption, expected to contain areas come into increase in producerable concern as the increasing orDepartment said, countries have passeover to improve ing of their export better prices.

Campbell, head of the Santa Ana Basin Protective Organization, replied to the visitors. It is said that a strong sentiment against the purchase has developed among Long Beach merchants. 500,00 Gallons Daily A report aboard in Anaheim is that Long Beach has guaranteed to the Press & Gamble Co., a water supply company of that Cincinnati concern if it would locate a plant in Long Beach. This is about half the total amount of water which is daily consumed by the entire population and industries of Anaheim. Aged Mother Comes To Son's Funeral Among the mourners who attended the funeral of the late George D. Montgomery, well known citrus packer, which was held last Thursday, was his mother, 80 years old, who made the long journey from Saint Paul, Minnesota. Mr. Montgomery was a Spanish-American War veteran, a Shriner, and a graduate of the University of Minnesota. The funeral services were conducted by the Anaheim Lodge of Masons and the local unit of the United Spanish War Veterans. He leaves a widow. VETERAN'S TRIP FINANCED The Board of Supervisors has appropriated $400 from the county advertising fund with which to finance the trip of the Spanish War Veterans' drill team to the state convention next month. On Saturday night an inspirational address was given by the Rev. Dr. D. Webster Kurtz, of the First Church of the Brethren, Long Beach, who spoke on "The Joy in Bringing Others to Christ." His address was preceded by a banquet served by the women of the Presbyterian church, which was attended by about 500, and the Rev. Aldis L. Webb, of Eastside Christian church, Long Beach, was the speaker. He spoke of the brilliant success of the Christian Endeavor and said that the success was possible because the society was founded on principles which work. The Happiest People In his address, Mr. Webb said that the happiest people on carta are the Christians, and that the mere a person shares his spiritual riches the richer that individual becomes. He said that the religion of Christ is a religion of joy, and in order to be joyful, or happy, one must share and give of the spiritual things that are his. The convention climax came in the final session on Sunday night, when the Union high school auditorium was filled and the address given by the Rev. Dr. W. W. Catherwood, of the First Baptist church, Riverside, who spoke on "The Joy of Being a Follower of Christ." Many section meetings were held and among the leaders of these sessions were State Christian Endeavor leaders, who gave addresses which were both inspirational and practical in their suggestions for expanding religious activities in the county. A feature of the general sessions were the song services, in which all the delegates joined as a great chorus, under the leadership of Paul Brown, of Los Angeles. A SURPRISE BREAKFAST Miss Naomi Nenno, of Anaheim, had a birthday last Sunday, and upon responding to an invitation from Miss Mildred Dauser, of Fullerton, found that she was guest of honor at an 11:30 breakfast at the home of Miss Dauser. The guests were members of Miss Neuno's bridge club, who presented her with a number of gifts. The breakfast table was spread with green damask, with glass service in rose, the floral centerpiece being spring blooms in rose tints.
