THE WEEK'S SOCIAL REVIEW ONE OF THE GAZETTE'S BEST NEWS FEATURES FOR WOMEN THE GAZETTE CALL TWO-FOUR-ONE-FOUR VOLUME LXI Funds Voted for Bonds Campaign Anaheim Civic Clubs Appropriate Money for Election Promotion Work If the voting of funds by Anaheim civic clubs to help bear the promotion costs of the bond election of the Metropolitan water district can be taken as a sign, there is a strong local sentiment in favor of constructing the aqueduct from the Colorado river to the cities of the Southland by those who foresee the importance of more water for the growth and development of the cities which are included in the district. Three Clubs Vote Money The election at which the voters are to declare themselves on the proposed $220,000,000 bond issue is to be held on September 29. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has voted $100 to the promotion fund and the directors, when taking this action, also pledged full support in helping the successful results of the election. The Anaheim Lions' club has voted $50 to the promotion fund, and the Anaheim Realty Board has voted $20 to the fund. Headquarters Open Sept. 1 The Anaheim Citizens' committee, in charge of the local educational work Hero of Newport Gets Tin Medal Although he modestly disclaims the distinction, A. Pierotti is one of the season's heroes at Newport Beach, where he with his family are spending the summer. One day last June there was a cry for help from out in the ocean breakers. A woman was drowning. Mr. Pierotti, who is as much at home in the water as he is on the land, promptly responded to the cry. "Belleve it or not," he said, while talking with his friends in Anaheim yesterday, "the drowning woman welghed all of 250 pounds, maybe 300. She could not have sunk if she had wanted to. But I got her out on the sand, where it took two or three men to lift her to her feet." Mr. Pierotti's friends at Placentia, where he has an orange grove of 40 acres, have presented him with a medal. "But it is a tin medal," he said. Mr. Pierotti is a native of Sunny Italy and came to California in 1874. He first went to San Francisco and, as he could not speak a word of English, the best job he could get was that of a gardener. "The summer has been unusually fine at Newport Beach," he said. "The water has been delightfully warm, and when the sun becomes too hot on shore, we put on our bathing suits and get into the ocean." to declare themselves on the proposed $220,000,000 bond issue to be held on September 29. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has voted $100 to the promotion fund and the directors, when taking this action, also pledged full support in helping the successful results of the election. The Anaheim Lions' club has voted $50 to the promotion fund, and the Anaheim Realty Board has voted $20 to the fund. Headquarters Open Sept. 1 The Anaheim Citizens' committee, in charge of the local educational work relative to the bond election, has been holding public meetings at the city hall, when various phases of the aqueduct project and the need for Colorado river water in Orange county, will on Tuesday, September 1, open its headquarters in the corner room of the remodeled Bank of America building at Center and Los Angeles streets, the officials giving the use of the room to the committee. A representative of the committee will be in charge of the headquarters to give any information the public may desire. There will be numerous displays of charts and statistical information, a feature of which will be maps and figures prepared by the city engineer's office, giving many details of the entire enterprise, especially emphasizing the low cost of the aqueduct as it will fall upon Anaheim taxpayers. Registrations Have Closed Registration of voters for the bond election closed today. Voters who registered for the last national election did not have to register for the bond election, but others were required by law to do so. The bond election will be held in only three cities in Orange county—Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana—as these are the only municipalities in this county that are in the Metropolitan water district. Voters living outside these cities do not vote on the bond issue. Anaheim Man Is Going to Turkey Ralph H. Allee sails from New York this Friday for Izmir (Smyrna), Turkey. He will direct the Rural Institute of the Near East Foundation in the section of the country adjacent to Izmir. Mr. Allee is well acquainted with this section of Turkey and speaks the language fluently, as he was for three years a member of the staff of the International College of Smyrna, which is co-operating with the Foundation in the rural extension work. Mr. Allee returned a year ago from the Near East to take graduate work at Cornell university and at the University of California college of agriculture in preparation for his new work. He is a graduate of Pomona college, for which he prepared at Fullerton high school. A brother, H. C. Allee, is a resident of Los Angeles and another, Picking Prices Set for Walnuts Pay Per Sack Reduced 30 Per Cent; Other Wage Scales Are Less By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG Farm Advisor A representative group of walnut growers and packing house managers for Orange and Los Angeles counties met a few days ago at El Monte to discuss and recommend a basic price for picking walnuts this season. The conference was called by the walnut department of the Farm Bureau. The districts represented included Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Whittier, Rivera, Chico, Puente, San Fernando, El Monte and Mountain View. Less Pay Per Sack The reports from the various districts indicated that because of better picking conditions this year and higher purchasing power of the dollar, the industry would pay less per sack for picking labor. The range of prices extend from 40 cents to 60 cents per sack, depending on the set of crop. On the basis of 50 cents per sack for average picking, a family consisting of man, wife and three children can make six to eight dollars a day. A resolution was adopted at the meeting recommending that the packing houses notify their members that picking and economic conditions this year justify a base rate for picking walnuts of 30 percent less than last year. Common Labor Reduced The state and federal employment offices reported to the meeting that wages were 20 to 30 percent less than last year for all common labor. Comparative figures were presented for the two years as follows: Mexican farm labor: $45-$60 per mo. in 1930; $30-40 per mo. in 1931. Cotton pickling: 1930, 75c per 100; 1931, 50c per 100. Onion pickling: 1930, 50c per hr.; 1931, 30c per hr. Milkers: 1930, $50-$90 per mo.; 1931, $40-$75 per mo. Mechanics: 1930, $5-$11 day; 1931, $5-$62 day.

Balch, secretary of the Anaheim chapter of the American Red Cross, has called a meeting of the chapter for 4 p.m., September 22, to be held in the city hall. The purpose is to reorganize the board of directors, election of officers, and to discuss plans for the annual roll call, to be held November 11 to 26. Unless an emergency arises, the chapter holds but two meetings a year, one before and one after the annual roll call. "The Christian Perfection" Is Subject of Sermon The Rev. J. A. Watson, of the Free Methodist church, was the speaker at the union services of Anaheim churches at the City park last Sunday evening, when he spoke on "Christian Perfection," taking his text from Matthew 5:48. "Christian perfection is the realm in which God made man to move at the present time," he said. "God, angels and men are three entirely different beings, and each moves in its certain sphere. Christian perfection is the only perfection man is capable of reaching." In his interpretation of the text from Matthew, Mr. Watson said that one should not only know what the Bible says, but also what it teaches. Three things which the text does not teach are absolute perfection, angelic perfection and Adamic perfection. Absolute perfection, he said, belongs only to God, and creatures cannot reach that level. Neither is man capable of reaching angelic perfection. Before Adam fell, he was a perfect man, while man today is not able to reach that perfection. BRIDGE CLUB MEETS Job's Daughters' Bridge Club held its monthly party at the home of Miss Evelyn Polhemus Thursday evening. The first award went to Mrs. Jack Kemper and consolation to Mrs. A. C.

Raid NOW, LISSEN, PETEY! — NEXT TIME YOU GO AND TELL ON ME IT'S JUST GOIN' TO BE TOO BAD / County Officials Increase Staffs Several Appointments Authorized by the New County Government Act A number of extra employees have been added to the staffs of various range county officials, the appointments having been authorized by the first legislature under what is known the county government act.

He is a Irwinites' Food Cache Uncovered The mystery of a cache of groceries, buried ten feet underground on the site of the Santiago dam, near Orange, is a mystery no longer. The cache was found by a big steam shovel that is digging into the earth, and for some days the why and wherefore was unfathomed. But it has been revealed that the food was buried by the Irwinites, a religious sect. The Irwinites, it seems, like Joseph of old, were preparing for the future, when years of plenty in Egypt might be followed by years of famine. But the Irwinites, as the buried food supply indicated, were looking weeks rather than years ahead. The cache contained wheat, rice, salt, coffee, corn, beans and walnuts, and it was buried in 1919. From members of the Irwinites the reason for the hiding of the groceries was learned. Their leader, a certain Prophet William Irwin, now in Jerusalem, whence he writes many letters to his hundreds of followers, instructed his flock to bury the food so that they might be prepared for great tribulation, concerning which Irwin says the Bible is very plain. During the time of trouble Irwin believes that food will be bought and sold only by those persons who have "the mark of the Beast" on their hands. To provide against that emergency, the followers have cached food in many locations over southern California, it was reported. The cache at the dam site had been covered with asphaltum and, although it had been underground more than a decade, the wheat appeared as newly threshed, and the canned goods were in excellent condition. Followers of Irwin believe the time New Manager of Fruit Exchange Paul S. Armstrong Promoted to Place Held by Earl G. Dezell Paul S. Armstrong, for the past six years assistant general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, has been elected general manager of the SunKlet organization by the board of directors, succeeding the late chief executive, Earl G. Dezell, who passed away suddenly August 2. With Exchange 15 Years C. C. Teague, president of the Exchange shippers and district managers spoke of Armstrong's appointment with the following statement: "I am happy to advise you that Paul Armstrong was unanimously elected general manager of the Exchange at a meeting of the board of directors. His training and experience during his fifteen years with the Exchange have demonstrated his entire capability and fitness for the position and he takes over the management with the complete support and confidence of the industry." On receiving the appointment, Mr. Armstrong said: "To the best of my ability I will endeavor to follow in the footsteps of my late chief, Earl Dezell, whose every action was aimed at bettering the condition of the citrus industry. Problems of Over-Production In some of the years to come we will have the same problem of over-production that are present this year. With this in mind, we must continue to lay a firm foundation of co-operation between us." Two New Deputies A deputy county clerk is also to be been by County Clerk J. M. Backs and County Tax Collector John Lamb also entitled to appoint a deputy in this department. McCabe was flight lieutenant in the air service during the war. He is a member of Masonic orders, the American Legion, the Baptist Church and leal and social collegiate fraternities. The young lawyer, at present city atorney of La Habra, is married and has two daughters. He is a graduate of the University of Colorado law school and has practiced law in Fullerton four years. He is 32 years of age. 75 a Month Rents Palace in China Dr J. C. Geiger, a professor of the University of California medical school, is returned from China and other lands of the Orient where he went to investigate the ventilation of the steergee of ships, says that the money exchange rate in China is very favorable present for the foreign traveler, which brings down prices materially to surfers as compared to prices they may pay at home. One example which Dr. Geiger gives to the cost of rents. The mayor of helping, China, he says, has opened the historic and exclusive "Forbidden City" and is offering entire palaces to tenants for $75 gold a month, just about the cost of a better grade apartment in an american city. WILL TEACH AT BERKELEY Stanley Falkenstein will be an instructor in the school of architecture, university of California, and he left for Berkeley last Saturday, where he will be joined this week by Mrs. Falkenstein. He was graduated from Anaheim union high school and he and Mrs. Falkenein are both graduates of the University of California. They were married a year ago. During the time of trouble Irwin beleaves that food will be bought and sold only by those persons who have "the mark of the Beast" on their hands. To provide against that emergency, the followers have cached food in many locations over southern California, it was reported. The cache at the dam site had been covered with asphaltum and, although it had been underground more than a decade, the wheat appeared as newly threshed, and the canned goods were in excellent condition. Followers of Irwin believe the time of the great tribulation has started, the recent hot wave being construed as the first manifestation. New Englanders to Hold Their Picnic The date of the annual Fall picnic for all the New Englanders of southern California will be all day Saturday, August 29. It will be in Sycamore Grove park and, following the basket dinner hour, there will be a program of singing and addresses. Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island and folks will all join in the rally, but each state will have its own section and county registers open all day long. There will be Vermont map syrup, genuine Boston baked beans, hot coffee and silk souvenir badges provided. Virginia “Exiles” Form a Club Former residents of Wellsburg, West Virginia, who are now "exiles" in southeastern California, held a picnic at Irvine Park Friday evening, which resulted in forming a club. Richard Palmer of Pomona was elected president and Mrs. Myrtle Canby of Anaheim was named secretary. A picnic will be held in August next year and the committee to arrange for it is made up of Mrs. W. J. Carmichael of Fullerton, Mrs. Murray of Santa Ana and Mrs. Canby. Others attending the picnic were: Miss Nancy Lee and her house guest, Miss Eliza Carmichael, of Youngstown, Ohio; Mrs. Palmer, Captain Murray and Mr. and Mrs. Harry T Hathaway and son, John. Problems of Over-Production In some of the years to come we will have the same problem of over-production that are present this year. With this in mind, we must continue to lay a firm foundation of co-operation between producers so that these problems can be faced and solved collectively." After graduating from Michigan State college where he specialized in horticulture and marketing, Mr. Armstrong joined the dealer service department of the Exchange in 1916. A year later, in 1917, he was made assistant advertising manager and placed in charge of dealer service work. Was Advertising Manager In 1921 Armstrong was appointed advertising manager of the Exchange and under his direction many new advertising appeals for citrus fruits were developed. Recognizing his ability, the directors elected him to the position of assistant general manager in 1925, which position he has filled until his present appointment. “Hoover Dam” Is Its Official Name Newspapers as well as individuals have been using two names to designate the big Federal project in the Colorado river, some calling it Hoover Dam and others Boulder Dam. But the Interior department at Washington has designated "Hoover Dam" as the official title of the giant reclamation project, an order to this effect having been issued by Secretary Willbur on September 17, 1930, after two resolutions to give the project a name had died in a committee in Congress. Precedents exist for mining government works either by act of Congress or by executive flat. The Wilson and the Coolidge dams were so named by Congress, whereas the Roosevelt and Gibson dams, interior officials said, were named by decrees. Mary Marshall's "Very Latest" ONE OF GAZETTE'S BEST FEATURES FOR ITS WOMEN READERS THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET Number 46 Cuts in Budget for Schools of County The tentative budget asked for the public schools of Orange county for the coming year has been slashed $290,000 below the total asked for last year, although school attendance will increase, says County Superintendent Ray Adkinson, which will hold school tax rates down to the level of a year ago. The tentative budget is $600,690, against 700,275 a year ago. Another cut of $94,900 was made in the budget for high schools and junior colleges, the budget now standing at $395,191. Valencia Forecast Made for 1932 The Associated Laboratories in a forecast of the Valencia orange crop for 1932 says that measurements taken in nine representative groves show a better size than in recent years, the young crop now measuring an average of 1.528 inches. In the August report of 1928, the year which brought phenomenal sizes, the fruit measured an average of 1.476 inches. July proved to be an exceptional growing month, fruit gaining an average of 446 of an inch during the period, the report says.

July Report on Health of County Tuberculosis, with 23 Cases, Is the Outstanding Affliction with Diphtheria Next By K. H. SUTHERLAND, M. D. Orange County Health Department The most outstanding incidence of disease during the month occurred in the instance of tuberculosis, with a report of 23 cases. This number brings the total of cases reported for the year to 80, of which 41 were Mexicans. This number is sufficient to cause concern, yet it is 21 lower than that recorded at this time last year. One Redeeming Feature One redeeming feature about the tuberculosis situation lies in the fact that reporting is much more complete than it used to be, and that cases of tuberculosis are being discovered much earlier than previously, a fact which brightens the prospect for effective control of the disease. This year's figures show quite definitely, however, that tuberculosis is a major health problem in this locality. During the month four diagnostic chest clinics were held; one by the county hospital and three by the Orange County Tuberculosis Association. Clinic Examinations Twenty-nine persons were examined for tuberculosis at the county clinic and twenty at the clinics conducted by the Tuberculosis Association. Sixty-two visits were made to tuberculosis cases by members of the county health department, and 81 visits to suspects and contacts. A total of 1096 tuberculosis visits have been made by members of the health department since the first of the year. There were seven cases of diphtheria reported during the month, one of which resulted fatally. While the total of diphtheria cases to date has been 62 as compared with 95 of last year, the total of fatalities is five for this year as compared with four for the whole year of 1930. This high mortality rate makes the diphtheria situation especially serious. The cases that died were of the laryngeal (croupy) type and in every instance were unrecognized and not reported until very shortly before death. Mise Olive Cooke will be teacher of mathematics. She, too, was graduated from Occidental college and holds the degree of M. A. She has been teaching at Eagle Rock. Mise Mary Frances Callahan will be an instructor in the science department. She has attended U. C. L. A. and the University of Southern California and has an M. A. degree. She has taught for a year and a half in the Los Angeles schools. D. F. Lehmer Returns D. F. Lehmer, former local teacher who has been on leave for a year, will return to the faculty. Miss Mary Jane VanBooven, of Anaheim, who has been practice teacher in Fairfax high school in Los Angeles, will be an instructor in physical education. She is a graduate of the U. of S. C. at Los Angeles. Miss Helen Ehlers will be a teacher of music. She was graduated from the U. of S. C. and has had eight years of teaching experience, coming to Anaheim from Ontario. Miss Kathleen McPaul, who has been teaching at Strathmore, joins the commercial department. She was graduated from U. of S. C. Miss Valdimir Thompson, graduated from Pomona college, and who has been teaching in Los Angeles, becomes an instructor in music. In Grammar Grades In the grammar division, Richard Magin, a teacher at Brea, becomes principal of Lincoln school, taking the place of Miss Elizabeth Renshaw, who is on leave for a year and is at her home in Normal, Ill. Miss Anna Rhelingans of Los Angeles, a graduate of Miss Fulmer's school, is a newcomer on the grammar grades staff. Miss Edna Friedley takes the place of Miss Edna Fletcher, who has gone to Redlands. Miss Alice Gates comes from Fullerton, where she has taught for seven years. Miss Emille Axtelle comes from Broadoaks school in Pasadena. The Misses Helen Cole and Lucia Upp, on leave for a year to attend the university at Berkeley, are returning to the faculty. None of the new teachers in the grammar department have been assigned to buildings at yet.

Sanitary Inspections The sanitary department has continued its emphasis on inspection control of food handling establishments, with particular reference to roadside stands and food vending vehicles. Seven hundred, thirty-eight routine inspections of food handling premises were made; 4184 pounds of food products were condemned; five licenses refused or revoked; 22 food handling permits refused. A total of 1995 sanitary inspections were made during the month of July. Ancient Art Found on San Clemente San Clemente Island, some 50 miles off the coast of southern California, has been yielding some historic riches to Arthur R. Sanger, a Los Angeles archeologist, who has returned from there after two weeks spent in explorations. Among the prehistoric specimens he found are stone images, carved with great artistry and care by the aboriginal inhabitants of the Channel Islands, and they are among the finest examples of early California Indian sculpture known. They will probably be exhibited temporarily in the Los Angeles museum in Exposition park, for which Sanger has made many archeological collections. For many years the islands lying off the coast of southern California have been famous for the remains of the earliest inhabitants of California. Scientists in San Diego have been attempting to persuade the Federal government to set the islands aside as a national monument, to insure what is left of the prehistoric relics from being removed by unauthorized excavators. Legion Rifle Shoot Santa Ana, Sept. 1 The annual rifle and pistol matches of the American Legion are to be held at Santa Ana on the ranges of the Santiago Rifle and Revolver Club on September 1, according to an announcement by Willard J. Pearce, chairman of the Legion's marksmanship committee. The contests will be held as part of the organization's annual convention at Long Beach. Five individual and one team shoot are on the program for those using .30 caliber rifles and one shoot for those with .22 calibre guns. In the pistol matches there will be six shoots for men and three for women. Valuable medals and trophies are to be given winners. The trapshooting contests in connection with the convention are to be held at the Union Pacific Gun Club, East Los Angeles. Entries for all the matches are now being received by A. Q. Johnson, chairman of the convention's shooting committee at Long Beach. Opening Dates for Catholic Schools St. Catherine's military academy is to open its fall term on September 10, although pupils may arrive any time after September 1. It is expected that 185 boys will be enrolled. St. Joseph's academy for girls will open on September 8 and an enrollment of 50 to 60 is anticipated. The St. Boniface parochial school will open on September 14, which is also the opening day of the Anaheim public schools. Anaheim Puts on Small Earthquake Anaheim "put one over" on other cities of the Southland at 7:40 last Saturday evening by staging two small but exclusive earthquakes. They were so small, in fact, that few people noticed the two tremblors, and none were reported from other communities.
