Anaheim Social and Personal Football Fans Going to Berkeley There are many local men and women who are "running a temperature" because the football season is on, and every college game played at Los Angeles is well attended by an Anaheim delegation. Another game is on the schedule for next Saturday between the two Universities of California—Trojan and Bears—and Anaheim will be represented at Berkeley by a delegation of about 25. One party sails on the Yale from San Pedro tomorrow afternoon and will return Sunday night. It is made up of H. E. W. and Mrs. Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Kraemer, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pearson, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kraemer, Jr., Mrs. Ruth Smith. In this party will also be Mr. and Mrs. George Denton and Mrs. Alice Peterson of Santa Ana. Three fans who will sail on the Alexander tomorrow are Earl Francis and Joe Bershand. Those who will motor to Berkeley for the game are Mr. and Mrs. Avan Alsep, Pete J. Weisel and John Wallop. The game will mark the sixteenth renewal of the traditional football feud between the two universities. Despite the fact that neither team will go into the game with an undefected record, the battle will lack none of the color and interest that always feature Trojan-Bear battles. Seeking revenge for the 74-0 debacle that struck them in their game with the Trojans last year and anxious to reestablish themselves as one of the country's outstanding teams, the Californians have been "laying" for their Southern California rivals and are expected to give the S. C. men their greatest test so far this season. Horace Mann P.-T. Form Association Miss Evelyn Lewis Weds Kenneth Luberg Miss Evelyn Lewis, who recently resigned as art teacher in the Anaheim grammar schools, was married, Sunday afternoon, to Kenneth Ludberg, of the Dutch West Indies, the ceremony being at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. W.

New Auto Plates For Christmas Motor car owners of California are asked by Russell Bevans, registrar of the Department of Motor Vehicles, to wait until December 1 before mailing in applications for 1932 license plates. Several hundred applications have already been received at this early date. New Auto Plates For Christmas Motor car owners of California are asked by Russell Bevans, registrar of the Department of Motor Vehicles, to wait until December 1 before mailing in applications for 1932 license plates. Several hundred applications have already been received at this early date, he said, although it is unlikely that any plates will be mailed out until after Christmas. Such applicants not only cause extra work in the renewal offices but are also deprived of their certificates of registration for several weeks, inasmuch as the certificate is mailed in when the application is filed. Mr. Bevans explained it was the plan of the department to receive applications by mail on and after December 1 and to open the counters for delivery to the public on December 15th. "But no sooner," he added. The manufacturer is now engaged in making the 1932 plates and is delivering them as rapidly as possible. The fee will be the same as this year. In addition to the information required in former years, the applicant must give the serial number of his car and number of cylinders. Gas Tax Brings in Big Revenue Gasoline taxes provided, in the first six months of 1931, a net revenue of $246,373,000 which is to be used principally for road purposes according to information collected from state authorities by the U.S. Bureau of Public Records. Nearly 7,118,000,000 gallons were taxed, an increase of 4½ percent over the same period last year. Consumption of gasoline increased in 36 states and decreased in 12 states. On the basis of the figures for the half year it is estimated that the gasoline tax will yield a revenue exceeding a half-billion dollars for the full year. The tax is now imposed in every state. Only eight states increased the rate of tax within the six-months period. Two others made increases effective in July and August. The total revenue derived was allocated as follows: Construction and maintenance of state highways, $153,332,000 or 64 percent; for local roads, $48,417,000 or 20 percent; State and county bond payments, $18,860,000 or 7½ percent; city streets, $10,157,000 or 4 percent and the remainder of $10,607,000 or 4½ percent for collection costs and miscellaneous items.

Plan for Handling Milk for Market The Glennini Foundation of Agricultural Economics of the University of California, at the request of dairymen in the Los Angeles milk shed, has presented a plan for the stalization of the dairy industry, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. While the plan submitted has many details, the essence of the plan is to form a strong producers’ organization which can take care of surplus milk, and which can sell all the market milk to the distributors on a basis of collective bargaining. They recommend that the California Milk Producers’ Association be reorganized and expanded to take in other producer’s organizations as well as independent dairymen, this reorganization and expansion to be followed by an election of officers and directors.

He is survived by Mrs. Duckworth and two children, His mother, Mrs. Emma Duckworth lives in Anaheim Anaheim Hunters in Utah Mountains Anaheim's party of nimrods who this week are scouring the hills out of St. George, Utah, for deer, hope to return Saturday evening or Sunday morning with the limit of one aplece, according to the word they left with relatives and friends as they departed last week-end for the "big hunt." Led by L. N. (Pete) Wisser, local sportsman who claims every member of the party always gets the coveted buck when going into the Utah mountains, the party includes: Mr. and Mrs. John Cook, Al Cook, Carl Zimmer, Bill Trapp, and R. Dinkler, Mr. and Mrs. Cook left Saturday morning and the rest of the party followed Sunday morning, leaving in time to reach St. George that night. Every year a similar Anaheim party goes to Utah. Wisser claims that the deer in the region he visits are healthy and fat, while those in the Klabab forest, where the government of late years has encouraged hunting because the deer are too plentiful for the available food supply may be to "skinny to bother with." STRENGTH OF MEN How strong is a man? The answer has just been made by the United States Public Health Service through a series of tests given to 500 men. Generally, heavily built men were found to be stronger than slender men of the same weight. The tests were made to ascertain the pulling, pushing, handgripping, lifting and lung power of men between the ages of 20 and 34, between the weight of 120 and 169 pounds, and between the heights of 63 and 70 inches. The greatest pulling power was demonstrated by men in the heaviest weight class, between 160 and 169 pounds. Men in the two heaviest classes, 150 to 159 and 160 to 169 pounds, tied as the most powerful pushers. In each of these weight groups the taller men proved to be the best pushers, with a force of 121 pounds, the record figure. In the handgripping contest the tallest and heaviest men gave the most powerful hand grips, with a force of 108.48 pounds. But the shortest men in the heaviest group were the most powerful lifters, lifting on an average 519.2 pounds. The men having the greatest lung power were found among the shortest in the 150-159 pound class. Keeping Old Friends and Making New THE ACREMETER WHAT IS IT?
