THE WEEK'S SOCIAL REVIEW ONE OF THE GAZETTE'S BEST NEWS FEATURES FOR WOMEN THE GAZETTE CALL TWO-FOUR-ONE-FOUR VOLUME LXI Time Approaches to Vote on Bonds Congressman Evans Warns Against Delay in Building Big Acqueduct NO ACQUEDUCT, NO DAM Voters to Give Expression on $220,000,000 Bond Issue The time is approaching when the voters of 14 cities in the Metropolitan Water district will have to express themselves on a bond issue of approximately $220,000,000 with which to construct the acqueduct which is to convey water from the Colorado river into the Southland. While the time for voting on the bond question has not been definitely determined, the indications are that the election day will be early next Fall. May Vote as a Whole It is the tentative plan to have the voters of the district vote as a whole on the question of whether or not to issue the bonds, instead of the voters of each unit in the district giving a separate expression. When the voters cast their ballots in favor of the bond issue, the question of Advertising Pays, as "Ramona" Also Finds When 4600 people paid $5046 for admission to the Ramona Pageant last Sunday a new attendance record was established, much to the surprise of many persons who had believed the play could not succeed financially this year. The pessimists, however, failed to consider the power of advertising. The story of the Ramona Pageant's financial success the last six years is a story of advertising. This year, with the depression resulting in the abandonment or failure of many like enterprises throughout the country, the Ramona Pageant increased its newspaper advertising expenditures, received proportionately greater publicity cooperation, and went "over the top" to its most successful season. There is a lesson in that for all advertisers.—Hemet News. Cactus Likes Water, Same as Camels Both Know How to Lay in a Supply, Says Howard E. Gates Because cactus plants grow out in May Vote as a Whole It is the tentative plan to have the voters of the district vote as a whole on the question of whether or not to issue the bonds, instead of the voters of each unit in the district giving a separate expression. When the voters cast their ballots in favor of the bond issue, the question of what the assessment will be on each unit of the district will be determined. In municipal Anaheim the present assessed valuation of property is $13,006,705, and with this figure as a basis, the portion that property owners of the city will pay on the acqueduct will be determined. Acqueduct Can't Be Delayed Definite activity in construction of the acqueduct cannot be unduly delayed, is the word that has come from Congressmen, who say that while Uncle Sam is proceeding with the construction of the Hoover Dam for control of the Colorado river waters, and which is being built primarily to supply the Southwest with water, Congress will not be disposed to make further appropriations for the dam unless the cities in the Metropolitan Water District show their good faith in the construction of the acqueduct. It is upon the building of the acqueduct that the construction of the Hoover Dam depends, thinks Congressman W. E. Evans, in discussing the subject over the radio. He said that unless the acqueduct is built, Uncle Sam will not finish the dam. Water Levels Sinking Another thing which makes the acqueduct imperative, he said, is the sinking of the water level in the valleys in the Southland. A third factor in making the acqueduct necessary is, reclamation of sewage water that is now flowing into the Pacific cannot be considered as a substitute for Colorado river water. "An early beginning of construction of the acqueduct is of great and vital importance to the people of the Metropolitan Water district," said Congressman Evans. "It will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get congress to continue to appropriate money for the construction of the Boulder dam unless the people here show their determination to get behind the project whole-heartedly. Must Show Good Faith "Much objection has been urged by the members of congress to further appropriations for the Colorado river development on the ground that no action has been taken by the people of California in the way of approval. They urge that in all good faith this is necessary and proper in view of the fact that they will receive the benefit." Cactus Likes Water, Same as Camels Both Know How to Lay in a Supply, Says Howard E. Gates Because cactus plants grow out in sandy deserts, where there is little rain and hot sunshine is plentiful, is no reason that these queer plants like the conditions under which they struggle for growth, said Howard E. Gates, an authority on the subject, who has gained his knowledge of desert vegetation by roughing it on long collecting trips in a truck to Lower California and other cactus regions of the Southwest. All Kinds Like Water There are over 5,000 kinds of cactus, Mr. Gates said, all of them must have water to live. Because of the short wet seasons in the deserts, the growing season for cactus is spread only over a few weeks of a year. About every variety of cactus provides its own storage for water within itself, like a camel stores its drink for long desert trips. When a cactus has used up its accumulation of water, it simply quits growing. Transplant a cactus from a dry desert to a home garden, and there give it plenty of water, and the cactus will grow two or three times faster than it would in the desert, said Mr. Gates. Chief Enemy of Cactus The cactus is slowing disappearing under the spread of civilization into its growing areas, Mr. Gates said. The time will come, although it is some distance off, when the cactus will be found only in regions remote from farms, towns and motor tourists. It will pass as did the buffalo, once so plentiful; as have the great forests of the Middle West, which gave away to cultivated farms. "The chief enemy to the cactus at present," said the Anaheim collector, "is cattle and goats. Where they are turned loose to feed on whatever a desert may offer in the way of grazing, cattle and goats trample down cactus which they cannot eat. The cattle destroys the larger plants and the goats with their small hoofs destroy the small plants." Benefit Dance Given By Telephone Girls Seven young women of the traffic department of the Anaheim telephone office were hostesses at an informal benefit dance at the Elks clubhouse last Must Show Good Faith "Much objection has been urged by the members of congress to further appropriations for the Colorado river development on the ground that no action has been taken by the people of California in the way of approval. They urge that in all good faith this is necessary and proper in view of the fact that they will receive the benefit." "Engineers of recognized ability are practically unanimous in their views that the Colorado river is the only remaining available adequate source. Those of us who have lived in this area for a period of 15 years or more, can remember seeing scores of artesian wells flowing under their own pressure at different points throughout this section. What Surveys Show "Surveys have been made," Evans continued, "and the results have shown that these wells have almost, if not entirely, disappeared and in certain cases the history of specific wells shows that within a limited period the water level has been lowered to an alarming degree," the Congressman continued. The rectification of sewage water rather than the bringing in of Colorado river water was branded by Evans as "ridiculous." "Rectifying of sewage water and using it for irrigation purposes is worthy of thoughtful consideration," he declared, "and it is altogether probable that the people of this country will ultimately come to the point where they will avail themselves of this extreme, but to make the assertion that this plan is either adequate or less expensive than bringing water from the Colorado river is perfectly ridiculous." SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY Mrs. J. W. Weaver was the guest of honor at a surprise birthday party given by Mr. and Mrs. Roy A. Knapp at their home, last Thursday evening. Some attractive gifts were presented to Mrs. Weaver and in the 500 game prizes were awarded Mr. and Mrs. Evan Pugh, Miss Lillian Hylton and Archibald Henry. Mrs. John Henry assisted the hostess. Benefit Dance Given By Telephone Girls Seven young women of the traffic department of the Anaheim telephone office were hostesses at an informal benefit dance at the Elks clubhouse last Thursday night, which was attended by 300. The proceeds are to be used to equip a recreation ground at the telephone building, now used for auto parking. Basketball, tennis and other diversions will then be available to 41 operators of the local station. The dance brought a substantial amount to the fund. The hostesses for the enjoyable occasion were Mrs. Dorothy Jameson, chief operator; Mrs. Leila Ruhl, Mrs. Eva Miller, Mrs. Pansy Williamson, Mrs. Evelyn Caffo, Miss Olive Criswell and Miss Jacquetta Moorehead. Concordia Gives a Successful Dinner The benefit dinner given by the Concordia club last Sunday was a pronounced success, and Mrs. John Molt, chairman of the section which managed it, is deserving of 100 percent credit, according to members, for putting the dinner over. Mrs. Temberton gave a good program which added much to the enjoyment of all of all who attended. Mrs. Beard is president of the section. STEEL TOWERS COMPLETED Old Glory is flying from the new steel towers of the new KFI radio station near Buena Park, indicating that construction work on the big broadcasting station is approaching completion. The flags are waving in the breeze from the top of the 400-foot towers, on which Neon lights are to be placed to guide aircrafts. Electricians are working in day and night shifts to speed up the installation of the broadcasting apparatus which cannot be completed for some time. Others re-appointed for year are: Yetta V.

Reid "SADIE! - IT'S COMIN' UP" "REALLY !?" PROSPERITY GARDEN KEEP OUT Union High Staff For Next Year Principal Clayes and 38 Others Re-Appointed by Board of Trustees The Board of Trustees of Anaheim Union highschool has announced the staff of instructors for the coming year, with the exception of appointments to six vacancies which will be made before the school year closes next month. J. A. Clayes, who has been principal of the school for 17 years has again been named for the coming year and 38 members of the faculty have been re-appointed. Old Timers Re-Appolated In addition to Mr. Clayes, the list includes, with the years they have been on the staff: Bella J. Walker, girl's vice-president, who begins her twenty-fifth year of service in the school's employ next year; Margaret Hampton, a teacher on the staff for 13 years; Alice Bate Hansen, 12 years; C. George Hedstrom, 11 years and Jacob-L. Van der Veer, 12 years. Others re-appointed for the coming year are: Yetta V. Alden, Marguerite C. Angus, Veldda M. Barnes, Harry L. Burden, Ethel J. Caverley, Jessie N. Coons, Madeline A. Conover, Paul H. Demaree, Lois K. Dyer, Mary P. Foreman, Dora Golder, Joseph S. Hall, Margaret Hampton, Linda Huggins, Lova Holt, L. Frank Kellogg, John B.

Russell, Faye K. Schultz. Sam Collins' Eye On Wild Drivers District Attorney Sam Collins has turned his eye on wild drivers of autos on the county highways and proposes to make trouble for them if their reckless antics are not curbed. "Deaths are occurring all too frequently and at an alarmingly increasing rate by reason of the reckless operation of motor cars on the highways of Orange county," he said. "Where deaths occur as a result of the negligent or reckless operation of the motor vehicle this office is going to issue a complaint for manslaughter in each instance and will vigorously prosecute such cases in the hope that the importance of careful driving can be impressed upon the public." The District Attorney's fire was aroused against the wild drivers when the findings of a coroner's inquest reached him. The coroner had investigated an auto accident, following which a man slaughter charge was made against Herbert M. Craig, living southwest of Anaheim, which it was charged, resulted in the death of Miss Anna M. Korn on May 3, at Brookhurst road and Lincoln boulevard. It was held at the inquest that Craig drove his car through a boulevard stop and collided with Miss Korn's car, her father and mother being in the auto with her at the time, both being seriously injured. Santa Ana "Scoops" Us On Postoffice Well, folks of Anaheim, you-all may as well fess up that Santa Ana has "scooped" us, as they say in newspaper shops, by getting a new postoffice building before you do. The late and unplanted Congress appropriated Gold Star Groups Going to France Twenty-Six California Mothers on Pilgrimage to Cemetries of Battlefields Arrangements have been completed with the Western Military Bureau for two groups of Gold Star Mothers from California to use the Santa Fe in starting their pilgrimage to the battlefields of France the latter part of this month. Mrs. Taletha C. Offutt, Mrs. Camille W. Scaley and Mrs. Frida A. Tingard, all of San Francisco comprise the first group which will leave that city May 20, on the Navajo, and sail from New York Mal 27. Second Group Much Larger The second group is much larger, consisting of 23 mothers from various parts of the state, who will leave May 28 and sail from New York in June. Those making this contingent are: Mrs. Isabella Groogan, Mrs. Edna G. Hiestand, Mrs. H. Jensen, Mrs. J. F. Kilpatrick, Mrs. Clara E. Myers and Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Stephans, Oakland. Mrs. Christina Monson, Berkeley. Mrs. Mary Ellen Brown and Mrs. T. A. Stone, Stockton. Mrs. Anna Cathrene Lorenson, Escalon. Mrs. Minte Ione Estep, Fresno. Mrs. Lettie M. Judd, San Diego. Mrs. Mary Croal, Mrs. Clara Rozell and Mrs. Schroeder, Santa Ana. Mrs. Margaretha Forbach, San Jacinto. Mrs. Ina L. Bower, Mrs. Mabel Hitt Clover, Mrs. Gertrude F. Wedderburn and Mrs. Walter Harris, Los Angeles. Others re-appointed for the coming year are: Yetta V. Alden, Marguerite C. Angus, Velda M. Barnes, Harry L. Burden, Ethel J. Caverley, Jessie N.

Schultz, Minnie R. Spicer, Madge W. Sproul, Jacob L. Van der Veer, Joshua Williams and Ruth Cull Smith. Sunday Concert By Indian Band The Indian Band of Sherman Institute, rated as the "show band" of the American Indian schools, will give a concert at the Institute next Sunday afternoon, beginning at 3:30 o'clock. The band is made up entirely of Indian boys and is under the direction of Daniel R. Campbell, bandmaster. The concert will be followed by the regular Sunday evening regimental drill, the last one of the present school year. The band's program follows: March—"Transcontinental," ...Hughes Overture—"The Golden Dragon", King Cornet Duet—"Argumentation" Barnhouse.

National Anthem CITY PLUNGE A BUSY PLACE Waiting for Saturday nights to take a plunge is no longer required in Anaheim, for the pool at the city park is in operation, and it's a lot more fun to dip in its waters than going into a narrow bathtub at home. And the pool is doing a good business on these warm days. The pool is now available from 1 to 5 p.m., and when school closes it will be open to plungers each morning. Tex" Middleton is again in charge, Santa Ana "Scoops" Us On Postoffice Well, all fossils up that Santa Ana has "scooped" us, as they say in newspaper shops, by getting a new postoffice building before you do. The late and unlamented Congress appropriated $30,000 for a mail station in Anaheim, but since then there has not been sight or sound as to when it is to come about—not even where it will be located. But on the other hand, Santa Ana has gone right ahead, and now the signs are her new building will be ready for mailing souvenir postcards and the like by next Fall. The structural steel is in place, the brick walls will soon begin to rise, and the basement is being water-proofed. Santa Ana may be "scoopin'" us on post offices, but there is a crumb of comfort in the thought that we will have one b y the time Los Angeles gets its new union railroad station. City Council P.-T. Elects Officers The Anaheim City Council of the Parent-Teachers' association, at its meeting last week, elected the following officers: President, Mrs. C. A. Slisson; Mrs. E. R. Atkins, first vice-president; Mrs. John Kemper, second vice-president; Mrs. G. N. Watts, recording secretary; Mrs. F. M. Eden, corresponding secretary; Mrs. R. W. Marvin, treasurer; Mrs. G. H. Goodale, parlimentarian, and Mrs. Henry Hill, auditor. The members of the council will be the guests of Mrs. Sisson for the June meeting at her home on Euclid avenue. POST-NUPTIAL SHOWER A post-nuptial shower for Mrs. Robert Heffner, niece Miss Louise Kraemer, was given last Thursday evening, by Mrs. Frank Ricker and Mrs. Walter Collette, at the home of Mrs. Ricker. Mrs. Christina Monson, Berkeley. Mrs. Mary Ellen Brown and Mrs. T.A. Stone, Stockton. Mrs. Anna Cathrene Lorenson, Escalon. Mrs. Minte Ione Estep, Fresno. Mrs. Lettie M.Judd, San Diego. Mrs.Mary Cronal,Mrs.Clara Rozell and Mrs.Schroeder,Santa Ana. Mrs.Margaretha Forbach,San Jacinto. Mrs.Ina L.Bower,Mrs.Mabel Hitt Clover,Mrs.Gertrude F.Wedderburn,and Mrs.Walter Harris,Los Angeles. Mrs.Hallie Lucia,Mrs.Kathleen R.Wright and Mrs.Estella Rosina Bisbee,Pasadena. Removal Plans of Valencia College Negotiations have practically been closed for the removal of Valencia College temporarily located at Santa Ana, to a site just south of Anaheim city limits. Under the arrangements, U.S.Bixby Meyer, founder of the college, will acquire 19½ acres owned by the city from the Industrial Land Co. The city is to deed the tract to Dr.Meyer when he has paid into escrow to be held by the Bank of America the sum of $250,000, to be paid out only for permanent improvements. Only Anaheim labor is to be employed in construction of buildings as far as practicable, and as much of the material as possible is to be purchased from local dealers. Dr.Meyer says he expects work to start on two of the four buildings within two or three weeks and the school year will open next September. A staff of twenty instructors will be engaged and accommodations will be provided for 300 for the first year, he said. ROAD OILING CONTRACT The State Department of Public Works at Sacramento has awarded the contract for oiling the shoulders on 14.5 miles of highway in Orange and Los Angeles counties to the Square Oil Co.of Los Angeles, at $5,310.The road extends between the San Gabriel river and Corona Del Mar. T. Reid Eggs is Money at Buena Park Store It's back to the good old days with Barney Rubinstein, Buena Park merchant—not quite so far back as when a man could barter a coonskin for a slab of store tobacco, or eggs could be traded for a calico wrapper. But Barney has gone far enough back to revive old-time bartering of eggs for any kind of merchandise in his store. The Buena Park merchant has contracted on somewhat large scale to supply eggs to a Los Angeles county dealer, and to get the eggs he will accept them in lieu of cash. Eggs are as good as money with him for groceries, meats, anything at all that Barney has for sale. As the market for eggs is off, and cash with some raisers of poultry is not so plentiful, going back to old-time bartering he expects will be received with approval by keepers of hens in Buena Park, and thereabouts. Prohis and Antis On Common Level Lean on Soda Fountain Bar, Put Foot on Brass Rail, Drink Citrus Juice DEMAND FOR EXTRACTORS Queens to Reign at Orange Show Nine Winners in County-Wide Spirited Contest are Announced 102,710 VOTES WERE CAST Result of Balloting in School Districts It's all over but crowding of nine of Orange County's loveliest daughters, who have won the honor of presiding one day each at the eleventh annual Orange County Valencia Orange Show and Fair to be held in Anaheim, June 4 to 14. The board of judges—Fred P. Robins, J. H. Heffron and Frank Rospaw—canvassed the ballots and report a total of 102,710 votes cast in nine districts. Fullerton led in the number of candidates, with eight, and in the vote total with 42,980 of which Morda Carroll acquired 19,900 to give her a decisive victory over the field. Her closest opponent was Lois Hershberger who pollled 6,030 votes. In Tustin Beth Collar was victorious after a close struggle with four opponents with 5,520 votes against 4,580 for Dolly Fowler and 3,490 for Dorothy Prohibits and antis are finding in the California orange juice a common level to speak on which they can meet, lean on a soda fountain bar, put a foot on a brass rail, if any, and forget their contentions over the 18th amendment and the Volstead Act. It begins to look as if California and other citrus producers are finding a solution of the "hootch" question in these United States. Extractors Going Big The California Fruit Growers' Association reports that during the past six months, a total of over 12,000 senior and junior Sunkist electric juice extractors have been sold by the Exchange to soda fountain owners and housewives, according to W. B. Geissinger, Sunkist advertising manager. Since 1919, when the commercial Sunkist extractor was developed by the Exchange, more than 61,200 of these citrus juice extractors have been sold. In practically all first class soda fountains and restaurants this machine is standard equipment for preparing citrus drinks. A total of 1,653 of these machines have been sold since November 1, 1930. Extractors for Home Use In 1928, the Sunkist junior extractor was developed for home use. The success of this inexpensive electric juice extractor was immediate and more than 77,300 have been sold to date. Over 10,500 of these machines have been sold during the first six months of the 1930-31 citrus season. In addition to electric juice extractors, the Exchange has sold over one million Sunkist glass reamers in the past seven years, according to Mr. Geissinger. Thousands of carloads of oranges, lemons and grapefruit are annually converted into citrus drinks by these machines and they have been an important factor in increasing the per capita consumption of citrus fruits. 7,000 Carloads of Fruit Based on a conservative estimate of 37 boxes of oranges and 13 boxes of lemons used by each Sunkist extractor in soda fountain per year, the 61,200 board of judges—Fred P. Robins, J. H. Heffron and Frank Rospaw—canvassed the ballots and report a total of 102,710 votes cast in nine districts. Fullerton led in the number of candidates, with eight, and in the vote total with 42,980 of which Morda Carroll acquired 19,900 to give her a decisive victory over the field. Her closest opponent was Lois Hershberger who polled 6,030 votes. In Tustin Beth Collar was victorious after a close struggle with four opponents with 5,520 votes against 4,580 for Dolly Fowler and 3,490 for Dorothy Mason, Charlotte Vance trailed. Winner in Anaheim Kathryn Dunham was successful over a field of five in the Anaheim district with 6,400 votes compared with 2,610 for Narcissus Prentiss, the runnerup. The other three were closely bunched but far back of the leaders. Out at Brea, Willes May Terry got a majority over a field of four with 1,970 votes. Frances Richards was second, Betty Shaffer, third, and Doris Forbes fourth. Iona Windolph polled a majority over a field of five in the Orange District. Miss Windolph's total was 7,020 with Edna Bees, second, 600 votes behind. Capistrano Contest The Capistrano district displayed keen interest in the contest in the contest with 18,000 votes recorded for five contestants. Mary Cavin supported by San Clemente, was an easy victor with 14,700 votes. Oreid Jones was second with 2,000. Although Garden Grove did not poll as heavy a vote as many other districts the competition was closer there than in any other district with Zelma Jones nosing out Velma King by 30 votes. The winner polled 470. Zoe Quiggle won over Mary Adams in the Huntington Beach district with 1,960 votes against 1,010. Dorothy Cottle had things her own way at Newport Harbor with 540 votes against 120 for her closest opponent. Schedule for Queens Unless circumstances compel later changes by the management the daily queens will reign in the following order: Friday, June 5; Miss Anaheim; Saturday, June 6; Miss Capistrano; Sunday, June 7; Miss Brea-Olinda; Monday, June 8; Miss Fullerton; Tuesday, June 9; Miss Orange; Wednesday, June 10; Miss Newport Harbor; Thursday, June 11; Miss Tustin; Friday, June 12; Miss Garden Grove; and Saturday, June 13; Miss Huntington Beach. Present plans call for the final queen of the entire show to be selected Sunday, June 14. American Legion Day by a committee of three Hollywood film celebrities. Past Grands Hold First Meeting Past Grands Hold First Meeting A new organization of past grands of Lois Rebekah Lodge held its first meeting last Friday at the home of Mrs. Anna Hunton at 521 South Clementine street, when Mrs. Maddie Gates and Mrs. Grace Ahistrom were also hostesses. The group will be the guests of Mrs. Mabelle Spencer at the pot-luck dinner at her home in San Bernardino on June 11. The first meeting of the organization was also attended by the Mesdaines Alma Pressell, Gladys Llewellyn, Ida Freeman, Gene Johnson, Clinton Nelosn, Lola Compton, Rudolph Tuma, Lena Jane Fris, Sadie Wright, Ida McMillan, Pearl Fergus, Lizzie Nylen, and Miss Elizabeth Mang. "Wind Isn't Bad," Says Nebraska Girl Miss June Harlan, high school teacher of Dix, Nebraska, arrived Monday evening for an extended summer visit with her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Harlan, who own the furniture store at 114 North Los Angeles street. Miss Harlan arrived just before the Santa Ana winds tore down the Orange show tent, Tuesday morning. "This wind isn't bad," she commented. "It's nothing to be compared with the blows we have in the Middle West." ONTARIO STAYS OUT The city of Ontario has voted at a special election against joining the Metropolitan Water district, the idea being opposed on the grounds that the city already has an adequate water supply.
