HINTS FOR THE HOME NANCY HART MAKES MANY TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FOR WOMEN READERS THE GAZETTE CALL TWO-FOUR-ONE-FOUR VOLUME LXI Churches Unite In Park Services Nine Congregations Begin Season of Outdoor Worship on Sunday Evenings The Protestant churches of Anaheim have united in a series of union services at the City Park, the first being held last Sunday evening. The series is sponsored by the Ministerial Association, represented by a committee composed of the Rev. B. C. Voll, the Rev. E. Burgi and Conrad Jongewaard, and the participating churches are White Temple, Grace Lutheran, German Baptist, German Methodist, Calvary Baptist, Wesley Methodist, First Presbyterian, Evangelical and the Free Methodist. Each service is to be conducted by one of the churches, which is to supply the pastor, while the music will be by a choir. The First Service The service last Sunday evening was under the auspices of the White Temple church, the sermon being by the Rev. Ralph W. Lee, and the song service was conducted by Percy W. Olds, the vested choir giving two anthems. Dr. Lee spoke from the text from Matthew 11:16-17: "Whereunto Shall I 100 Cars of Fruit Shipped in Week The week embracing the last part of June and the first part of July saw 100 cars of citrus fruit moved from the Yorba Linda Citrus association plant, the largest shipment in the association's history, according to announcements this week by Manager P. W. Damon. This is at least 12 cars more fruit than the association ever moved in a week up till that time. Approximately 75 of the 100 cars were lemons, which right now are reaching a responsive market in the East. The "dry spell" that roasted the Middle West and East as well as California, shot the prices of lemons up to a profit-making basis. Anaheim Tourists See Scenic Wonders Mrs. Frieda Freda and Daughter Ruth Tell of Arizona and New Mexico Scenic wonders of Arizona and New Mexico, especially the inscriptions written on rocks at El Moro National Monument and the marvels of Carlsbad Cavern in Southeast New Mexico, so enthralled Mrs. Frieda Freda and her daughter Ruth that they returned Each service is to be conducted by one of the churches, which is to supply the pastor, while the music will be by a choir. The First Service The service last Sunday evening was under the auspices of the White Temple church, the sermon being by the Rev. Ralph W. Lee, and the song service was conducted by Percy W. Olds, the vested choir giving two anthems. Dr. Lee spoke from the text from Matthew 11:16-17: "Whereunto Shall I Liken this Generation?" The pastor said in part: "I think perhaps the greatest weakness of this generation and this day in which we live is that we have tried to substitute something for God. In this age which is distinctly the scientific age, we have so schooled, so educated, so given emphasis to scientific processes in reasoning out our problems, that we have endeavored to outlaw God and put something in His place. To children there is apparently no life beyond the life of their own immediate selves and many adults today seem to take that same attitude. Challenge to the Church "The church has never faced such a challenge, such difficulties as, in this age, and yet I am not doubtful nor discouraged that something will come to cement the church in its various elements together." He deplored the fact of doctrinal differences stating that too often the church lays too much emphasis on doctrine rather than on life. "I may be wrong, but I feel that we have made a mistake also in trying to make Christianity the religion of the cloister and in failing to relate religion to the great industrial forces about us," the minister continued. Christianity More Than a Moral "Unless Christianity has a place and unless we who are the ministers of Christianity can pass it on and so relate it to the great social and economic problems of our age, the church will never regain its proper grip on the people," he said. "To me Christianity is more than a bit of moral with which to play, more than mere platitudes, more than a formula for broken hearts and lives, but if we are ever going to make Christianity felt, we must adjust and relate it to the everchanging elements of our industrial and social life," the minister continued. The service next Sunday evening will be conducted by Grace Lutheran church and the sermon will be by its pastor, the Rev. C. H. Z. Hunziker. Eight New Stops To Watch Out For Motorists who drive about the city of Anaheim with their minds not on their streets. Mrs. Frieda Freda and Daughter Ruth Tell of Arizona and New Mexico Scenic wonders of Arizona and New Mexico, especially the inscriptions written on rocks at El Moro National Monument and the marvels of Carlsbad Cavern in Southeast New Mexico, so enthralled Mrs. Frieda Freda and her daughter Ruth that they returned Monday to Anaheim from a two-weeks motor tour filled with praise for the country they visited. Over 500 Miles First Day Because of hot weather, Mrs. Freda and her daughter motored more than 500 miles the first day they left this city. They passed through Yuma, then on to Phoenix, and finally ended between the latter city and the New Mexico line. The next day they went to El Paso, Texas, thence to Carlsbad Caverns where in the evening they saw "just millions and millions of bats. There were so many that it was impossible to comprehend the number," Mrs. Freda said. "The Caverns were just wonderful, and certainly should be seen by every person who travels in that vicinity. Marks of Early Spaniards "We made many steps along central and northern New Mexico and Arizona, seeing the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, and numerous inscriptions written by the early Spanish explorers and Indians. At El Moro we saw inscriptions written by Spaniards sent out to punish Indian tribes for the killing of certain padres. These inscriptions were dated 1540. Near them in English is the government explanation of the historical events, telling of the failure or success of the expeditions, the recalling for failure to perform duties successfully, and other very interesting data." Old Home of Indians "We took a side trip from Pueblo Laguna to the rocky barren Mesa, 26 miles away, where my daughter and I climbed the one and only trail up the 200-foot precipice on which the Acoma Mesa Indians have lived for centuries. These Indians, after becoming members of a Christian church, carried soil on their shoulders in baskets from the valley below to build the adobe church, and the cemetery for burial of their dead. The Indians, a peaceful tribe, first inhabited the Mesa, because they were driven to it for safety by meandering tribes which attacked, robbed and plundered them and their pissessions. The offending tribes were believed to have been the Comanches and the Apache." Other side trips included one to the Ice Caves. Coming back, we stopped for three days at Grand Canyon, taking a mule ride down into the canyon for an overnight stay. It to the everchanging elements of our industrial and social life," the minister continued. The service next Sunday evening will be conducted by Grace Lutheran church and the sermon will be by its pastor, the Rev. C. H. Z. Hunziker. Eight New Stops To Watch Out For Motorists who drive about the city of Anaheim with their minds not on their work at the stearing wheel, better had wake up, for eight new boulevard stops have been erected. They have been made necessary by the new regulations which increase speed limits of cars, beginning August 14. The stops are at the following points: Vine and Center, south side; East and Center, on East street; Sycamore and Olive, on Sycamore; Olive and North on North; Palm and North, on North; Santa Ana and Palm, on Santa Ana; South and Palm, west side; Broadway and Atchison, north side. The city street department is keeping a man busy painting the lines of parking lanes and Police Chief Bouldin will recommend that new street signs be located in the business district. Motorists who drive into Anaheim from a distance say that the local method of painting street names along street curbs makes it difficult for the strangers to find their way about, as parked cars often conceal the street names. They suggest that the street signs be elevated so that motorists may readily see them. Spanish Program Opens Park Series The first of the summer series of entertainments in City Park will be given tonight at 8 o'clock, when a Spanish program will be given by El Delgado and his group of singers and dancers. The entertainments are to continue on each Thursday evening, the last one being on August 27. The committee in charge consists of Dr. Walter L. Bigham, chairman; Mrs. E. E. Smith, Mrs. J. P. Bradstad, O. E. Hanson and John W. Price. Billy Knott's Views of Heavy Fighters Jack Dempsey's Fourth of July heavyweight battlers should be locked up in a damp, dark dungeon, given a pick and shovel and told to work until they see daylight. That's the opinion of Billy Knott, proprietor of Knott's Market on North Los Angeles street, following the actionless, thrill-lacking party at Reno on Independence Day. Mr. and Mrs. Knott attended the so-called battle. "Unless his actions belle his thoughts, Max Baer thinks he's a second Rudolph Valentino. He didn't want his features mussed up by Paulino Uzcudum, while the latter is getting too old to make much headway in the heavyweight spotlight. The old Basque went out for blood, but he hasn't the kick of a fighter, or even a ghost of a chance with any real second-rate battler of today. The crowd was interesting, and Jack Dempsey drew and deserves more applause than both of the fighters put together." Mr. and Mrs. Knott, after closing up their market Friday evening about 10 o'clock, suddenly decided that they would travel to Reno to see the fights the next day. They were packed and left Anaheim at 11:30 P.M., and arrived at Reno 550 miles away via Bishop and Mono Lake, at noon Saturday. They secured fairly good seats for the fights, visited Kenneth Tait, one of Mr. Knott's old friends, at the Reno fire department, and motored to Sacramento, arriving at 9 o'clock Saturday evening. They drove all night, pulling into Anaheim at 8:45 A.M. Sunday, a round trip of 1112 miles in 35 hours. County Clerk J. M. Back under a new law passed bataure, voters must be re their precinct for at least 4 to an election; in the county and in the state one year. Voters who fail to cast at either the primary or elections every two years will to register before they can ceeeding elections. Other names remain permanent registration rolls. Mr. Backs also advised situations concerning absent voters had been greatly modified anyone who would be awaived precinct on election day m absent voter ballot, provide not be out of the state. For voters who were required by reason of their occupation who were confined by illness titled to vote in this manner. Provisions on the absence extend down to municipal e Backs advised. FULLERTON'S SANE Fullerton, the northern Anaheim, certainly had a s Fourth. For three days over end there was not an acc fire alarm, and the police at all to do, as there was plains. AHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California, Thursday, July 9, 1931 No Tree or Fence in Sight— By Albert T Reid THE GREAT TAX PLAINS INCREASED COST OF GOVERNMENT TAXPAYER Supervisors Consider Santa Ana Fund Francis Cuttle Asks for Joint Meeting of Three County Boards The indicates are that the supervisors of Riverside and San Bernardino counties will help to raise $200,000 by taxation, to match a similar sum appropriated by the state legislature with which to make water conservation improvements in the Santa Ana river in. By the appropriations from three counties including Orange, a total $400,000 will be available for the instruction work. San Bernardino Votes $80,000 The supervisors of San Bernardino have voted to levy a tax of 10 cents each $100, which will raise $80,000 that county's portion of the $200,000. The Riverside Chamber of Commerce is urging similar action. The Orange county supervisors have not yet reached a decision. Francis Cuttle, of Riverside, has as chairman of the Tri-County Water Conservation committee, asked the Orange county supervisors to attend a meeting to discuss the co-operative movement to make the improvements. Orange May Oppose While the Orange supervisors have been no official action, they have initiated that the purposed improvements could be of benefit to the upper countryside. Judge Howard Likes Arizona’s Temperature Judge J. S. Howard, prominent realtor of Anaheim, returned Monday from a three-week visit with his daughter, Miss A. M. Howard, who is attending the ten-week summer course at the Arizona State Teachers' college at Flagstaff. "People usually have the idea that Arizona is terrifically hot." Judge Howard said on his return. "Northern Arizona always is cool when I'm there. During the hot spell in Anaheim, when the temperature one afternoon reached 105, the temperature at Flagstaff was 80. Of course, Flagstaff in common with most of the rest of the northern part of the state has an altitude of about 5,000 feet or over, which explains why the temperature is less than is commonly believed." Paul Dickman Enters Lutheran Ministry Paul Dickman was ordained to the ministry in an impressive ceremony at Grace Lutheran church. Sunday evening, when the Rev. Otto Fischer, assistant pastor of the church, conducted the ceremony. It was the first ordination held in the Anaheim church and the sermon was by the Rev. John Peters, of Los Angeles, who was the first pastor of the Grace church. The Rev. Mr. Dickman was graduated from the Anaheim high school in 1924 and from the Capital University at Columbus, Ohio, in 1931. He has been called to the pulpit of the First Lutheran church at Pomona and will War Against Pests Costs $4,500,000 Fumigation, Spraying and Dusting Was Increased Last Year More than $4,500,000 was spent by California citrus growers during 1930 in fumigation, spraying and dusting to control insect pests, according to R. S. Woglum, entomologist of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Pests Can Come Back "During the present year the tendency on the part of many citrus growers will be to decrease the costs of their pest control operations," stated Mr. Woglum. "Some of the California citrus pests are able to stage a remarkable comeback even when they appear to be almost eradicated, and growers should seriously consider this fact before they contemplate a reduction in their pest control activities. Constant vigilance is necessary to ensure a satisfactory condition of insect control." The annual report of the Exchange pest control bureau disclosed that spraying and dusting of citrus groves showed an increase during the past year. Throughout citrus producing districts approximately 95,000 acres were sprayed, compared with 56,000 acres fumigated. Over 25,000 acres were dusted, most of the acreage being in Central California. Chief Problem of 1930 The outstanding problem during 1930 Orange May Oppose While the Orange supervisors have taken no official action, they have initiated that the purposes improvements would be of benefit to the upper counties of the Santa Ana basin, while Orge county would not, and that Orge county money should go to river improvements in this county. Backs Quotes Law On Registrations County Clerk J. M. Backs says that under a new law passed by the legislature, voters must be registered in their precinct for at least 40 days prior to an election, in the county, 90 days in the state one year. Voters who fail to cast their ballots either the primary or general elections every two years will be required register before they can vote at succeeding elections. Otherwise their times remain permanently on the registration rolls. Mr. Backs also advised that restrictions concerning absent voter balloting had been greatly modified and now anyone who would be away from his precinct on election day may vote by sent voter ballot, providing he will be out of the state. Formerly only voters who were required to be away from reason of their occupation or those who were confined by illness were enclosed to vote in this manner. Provisions on the absent voter ballot tend down to municipal elections. Mr. Backs advised. FULLERTON'S SANE FOURTH Fullerton, the northern suburb of Anaheim, certainly had a safe and sane courthouse. For three days over the weekend there was not an accident, not a no alarm, and the police had nothing to do, as there were no complaints. $775,000 Bridge Over Alamitos Bay Inlet Orange and Los Angeles county and Seal Beach and Long Beach officials have reached an agreement on building a bridge over the Inlet of Alamitos bay, the structure to cost $775,000. Under the agreement, which is yet to be signed, Los Angeles county will pay $100,000 an din addition pave about 500 feet of the approach from the east. Orange county will contribute at least $20,000. Seal Beach is to give permission for construction of about 1,000 feet of the new San Gabriel river channel through that municipality. Long Beach will pave about 1,000 feet for the approach from the west. It is understood that Philip Stanton will donate most of the land needed for the approach from the Seal Beach side. The Pacific Electric will donate about 600 feet, 60 feet wide, for the westerly approach in exchange for the privilege of operating its cars across the bridge. LA PALMA STRIP ANNEXATION The City Council at its meeting on Tuesday night received from the engineering department a description of property for annexation, a strip along La Palma and west of the Garden Grove road. No action was taken as an election will be necessary within the district if 25 percent of the persons living within the district sign a petition for annexation. If annexation is made, it will cost about $6000 for constructing water mains. The district now depends on private water wells. Chief Problem of 1930 The outstanding problem during 1930 was the prevalence of red scale, the report stated. This citrus pest, which increased greatly during 1929, continued its severe attacks during most of 1930. Extreme control measures, however, have tended to reduce the prevalence of this pest so that now it is in a fair state of control. Red scale continues to be the major problem of lemon growers in many districts and appears to be extending its range as an orange pest. "The only effective control for red scale is to include fumigation in the pest control program," said Mr. Woglum. "Different districts require different measures. Some use only one fumigation, others a spray followed by fumigation. Some use two distinct fumigations, one in the fall and one in the winter or early spring." Cleanest Orchards Since 1917 The report further disclosed that citrus posts other than red scale were in perhaps the most satisfactory condition in many years. The long continued campaign against the resistant black scale in the interior valleys carried on for the past ten years, has resulted in the cleanest orchards since 1917. The decrease of citricola scale, and the present increase of red spider and thrips were among the number of other special citrus problems discussed in the report. PLUNGE IS BUSIEST SPOT The busiest spot in Anaheim is the plunge in the City park, where in June 9444 persons sought relief from warm weather, the number being 5000 over the same period last year and setting a new record for the pool. The total receipts for last month were $1195.65. The plunge was drained and refilled Monday. Leo J. Sheridan on Water Committee Leo J. Sheridan has been named as Anaheim's representative on the Citizens' Colorado River Water Committee, which covers the general district, the appointment being made by O. E. Stewart, local member of the directorate of the Metropolitan Water district. The purpose of the committee is to inform the public on benefits to be derived from early completion of the Hoover dam. The central group of the committee will be composed of about 100 members representing the 15 cities now in the Metropolitan Water district. The committee is to meet soon with the Metropolitan directors when a definite program of action will be formulated. Water Aqueduct Is Genuine Need C. C. Chapman, "Father" of Valencia Industry, Expresses His Views Rapid depletion of Orange county's underground water reservoirs and the general desire to go on with the development of constructing the aqueduct resources are basic reasons given by C. C. Chapman for the supreme im- Vicious Rip Tide Mars the Fourth Thousands of Pleasure-Seekers Swarm on Strands of Orange County A vicious rip tide which swept many of the California beaches on the Fourth, brought death by drowning to about twenty victims, but only five of these tragedies marred the joys of the holidays to thousands who swarmed along the strands of Orange county. The victims of the rip tide along Orange county shores were: Charles E. F. Rafferty, Los Angeles inventor; Robert Morris and Jack Wyne, also of Los Angeles; Richard Maxon, Tustin; a Japanese child. L. A. Bryant an Alhambra laundryman, died from a heart attack. Crowds Broke Records From Seal Beach to the San Diego county line the merry-makers broke all records in point of numbers. The crowds began going to the Orange county coast line on the afternoon of July 3, automobiles loaded with pleasure seekers and camp equipment coming from all sections of the Southland. Tents were pitched on the beaches wherever permissible, and the camp grounds were filled with vacationists. C. C. Chapman, "Father" of Valencia Industry, Expresses His Views Rapid depletion of Orange county's underground water reservoirs and the general desire to go on with the development of constructing the aqueduct resources are basic reasons given by C. C. Chapman for the supreme importance of constructing the aqueduct which will give the Metropolitan Water district, including 15 Southland cities, needed water supply without delay. Whatever its cost may be, this is not the ultimate consideration, for with an abundance of water, with the Colorado River the chief source of supply to be looked to, the benefits to be derived from the aqueduct will be immeasurable. Opinion Carries Weight Mr. Chapman is regarded as the "father" of the Valencia industry of Orange county, and the Fullerton capitalist's opinion carries weight on the importance of the water problem. In a statement given to the newspapers, Mr. Chapman said: "We are compelled to extend our pumping pipes lower and lower to reach the receding water. Can one imagine what a colossal disaster it would be should we find some day that we had entirely exhausted this reservoir, or at least, lowered the water plane to a point it would be entirely too expensive to bring to the surface? Our orchards, which have brought millions of dollars annually to Orange county, of course would suffer, if not in many sections be entirely abandoned. We would then become panicky and be willing to pay any price for water. In a Semi-Arid Desert "We must not forget that we are living in a semi-arid desert country. The marvelous agricultural and horticultural development that we see all about us in Southern California has almost entirely come about within the last fifty years or less, and all because we have utilized the water either stored away in the mountains or in the great underground reservoirs. Without this water what is now a beautiful and productive garden would still be a desert. Some contend that the cost of water brought from the Colorado River would be entirely too high for irrigation purposes. It might be higher than many of us are paying during the last few years when we have had this great underground reservoir to draw on, but not as much as growers are paying in many sections. In many years to come when the bonded indebtedness for building the Aqueduct is paid off the water should cost no more than it does today." Crowds Broke Records From Seal Beach to the San Diego county line the merry-makers broke all records in point of numbers. The crowds began going to the Orange county coast line on the afternoon of July 3, automobiles loaded with pleasure sockets and camp equipment coming from all sections of the Southland. Tents were pitched on the beaches wherever permissible, and the camp grounds were filled with vacationists. Hotels were filled to overflowing and auto camp parks hold no more space. At San Clemente and Laguna At San Clemente visitors played golf, fished from the barge and the pier, bathed in the ocean and plunge, enjoyed horseback riding and other sports. The city had never been visited by so large a crowd before. Bathers enjoyed the surf at Laguna Beach, and according to Police Chief Abe Johnson, the city was host to one of its largest crowds. Newport Beach was one of the most extensively visited beaches of the coast. Thousands of persons played on the beaches and bathed in the waters along the ocean and bay. Everywhere for miles and miles gay umbrellas and vivid-colored bathing suits could be seen. Newport Harbor Races Newport Harbor was the center of attraction with its snowbirds, six-meter boats and stars in races along the ocean front. Huntington Beach was crowded with the throngs of visitors who had been taking in the five-day festive celebration marking the completion of the pier. Fishing from the barge and the pier was one of the chief pastimes. Great catches of yellowtail, burrauda, hallbut and other fish were caught. The American Legion gave a marvelous exhibit of fireworks at the water's edge. The day closed with a grand ball given in the newly completed $40,000 Memorial Hall. Beaches Over-Crowded Seal Beach, Sunset Beach and Surf Side Colony entertained the largest crowds since the city and communities were settled. Chief Porter at Seal Beach said that every foot of available space was taken by automobiles and that he believed that there wasn't room for another person in the water or on the beach. All-Day Rally of Illinois "Exiles" The Illinoisans of all the Southland are invited by their president, Henry J. Brubaker to the annual summer rally all day, Saturday, July 18th, in Bixby Park, Long Beach. President Brubaker will offer all the usual picnic attractions including the popular County "Some contend that the cost of water brought from the Colorado River would be entirely too high for irrigation purposes. It might be higher than many of us are paying during the last few years when we have had this great underground reservoir to draw on, but not as much as growers are paying in many sections. In many years to come when the bonded indebtedness for building the Aqueduct is paid off the water should cost no more than it does today. Farm Bureau Men Attending Conference Orange county is this week entertaining leaders of farming activities from 11 western states, who are holding a three days' conference at Santa Ana, the sessions being at the Ebell club. In point of subjects under discussion, as well as in the prominence of recent attendance, it is one of the most important meetings of the kind ever held in California. The sessions opened on Monday and closed last night. The visitors were taken on an extensive auto tour of the county's citrus region yesterday and last evening attended a barbecue and open air entertainment at the county park. A long list of speakers have been heard during the sessions, among them W. T. Martindale, director of field service of the American Farm Bureau; B. H. Crocheron, a California leader; A. E. Bowman, of Wyoming, and Cecil Creel, of Nevada; Mrs. Charles Sewell, of Otterbein, Indiana; E. A. Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. James Smiley, of West Orange, presided at the opening session, and Jack Crill, of Garden Grove, gave an address of welcome. The American Bureau will oppose the 15 percent increase in freight rates, which the railroads have asked for. MISS DANIELS ON VACATION Miss Hortense ("Babe") Daniels is at the home of her sister, Mrs. Esther Orantes, for a vacation of rest, after a season in the R. K. O. vaudeville circuit. She will be in Anaheim until in August, when she will sail for Europe for an extended vaudeville tour." All-Day Rally of Illinois "Exiles" The Illinoisans of all the Southland are invited by their president, Henry J. Brubaker to the annual summer rally all day, Saturday, July 18th, in Bixby Park, Long Beach. President Brubaker will offer all the usual picnic attractions including the popular county headquarters and registers. Hundreds of thousands of "Suckers" of the Illinois brand are now Californians and always want to meet neighbors of the Illinois days. Hot coffee will be served and the beautiful silk souvenir badges supplied. The program of song and oratory will follow the dinner hour. Good lunches and cold drinks will be sold in the park. The Illinois registers may always be found in the offices of the Federation of State Societies, MUtual 0171, in the lobby of the Hotel Alexandria, Los Angeles. Mrs. Rogers Williams Buried at Santa Ana Mrs. Rogers Y. Williams, wife of former Judge Williams of the Superior court, died at her home at San Juan Capistrano, early Friday morning, after a long illness. She came to California in 1895. As a member of the Methodist church, she was very active in its affairs and in welfare work. The funeral service was held in Santa Ana Monday morning, with burial in Fairhaven cemetery. DEATH OF J. A. BERGSTRAND John A. Bergstrand, one of the oldest men in Orange county, died at the age of 91 at the home of a daughter, Mrs. H. C. Neumann, in Orange, Sunday afternoon. He was a native of Sweden, where he was born in May, 1840, and had for the last eight years lived with another daughter in Anaheim, Mrs. Max Boege. His wife died in Long Beach several years ago. He was a charter member of the Odd Fellows lodge in Denver, Colorado.
