Mary Marshall's "Very Latest" ONE OF GAZETTE'S BEST FEATURES FOR WOMEN WHO SEW FOR SELVES THE GAZETTE CALL TWO-FOUR-ONE-FOUR VOLUME LXII Drapes or Smudge Is Live Subject Women Opposed to Orhard Smoke, Orchardists Talking About it SPECIALISTS ARE AT WORK Efforts Underway to Reduce or Eliminate Smoke Now that cold, frosty nights are in the offing, smudgy smoke from citrus orchard heaters is a live topic among the women of Orange county, as well as among the orchardists who depend upon heat to protect their fruit. Smudge In Homes The women do not think much of the smoke, for it blows into their homes, smudging the draperies, the furniture, and sometimes a yellow canary sings like a canary but loaks like a small black bird. On the other hand, the orchardists want to do something about it, for much of the heat blows away in the smoke. What can be done to satisfy both the women and the orchardists by reducing if not entirely eliminating the smoke is a problem which will be looked into during many conferences and demonstrations in the citrus orchards of County Warrant in New York Failure A warrant for $5,700 drawn by Treasurer E. B. Trago in part payment on principal and interest on an Orange county bond, was sent to New York some time ago, and, it has since been learned, the warrant has become involved in the failure of the private banking firm of Kuntze Brothers, of New York, fiscal agents of Orange county in the retirement of a 1913 road bond issue. Steps are being taken to recover if possible the Orange county sum. It is the hope of county officials that the county money may have been segregated and may be subject to full recovery as a preferred claim. The original bond issue in 1913 was for $1,270,000 which was floated through the agency of Kuntze Brothers, a firm that was established in 1857. This bond issue has been reduced to $960,000 and is the only one payable outside of the county. A total of $310,000 has been paid on the issue, all made through the Kuntz Brothers, and $30,000 has been paid in the last year. Women Censure Some of Movies Convention Hears Addresses and Appoints a Nominating Committee The women do not think much of the smoke, for it blows into their homes, smudging the draperies, the furniture, and sometimes a yellow canary sings like a canary but lo ks like a small black bird. On the other hand, the orchardists want to do something about it, for much of the heat blows away in the smoke. What can be done to satisfy both the women and the orchardists by reducing if not entirely eliminating the smoke is a problem which will be looked into during many conferences and demonstrations in the citrus orchards of Southern California counties which will be held in November, opening at River-side on the afternoon of Nov. 2. The demonstrations are to be conducted by J. P. Fairbank, an extension specialist in agricultural engineering, and Warren S. Schoonover, a specialist in citrus culture of the University of California. Demonstrations in Orange County The demonstrations are to be made in Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Tulare counties. Two of the Orange county meetings are to be held at Orange on Tuesday morning and afternoon, November 2, and another at La Habra on the morning of Nov. 13. The demonstrators expect to show that considerable improvement can be made in the smoke situation if growers of fruits will co-operate, without the necessity of turning to other fuels or by the purchase of large quantities of new, expensive equipment. Important Things to Do Important things for the orchardists to do, the demonstrators say, are: 1. To discard open pails and other obsolete heaters such as most of those manufactured prior to 1915. 2. To clean soot from stacks Land drafts. 3. To regulate heaters frequently so as to maintain the best combustion rate for each type of heater. 4. To study the recommendations of the Fruit Frost Service of the United States Weather Bureau with regard to temperatures at which to start lighting heaters. 5. To have an adequate supply of tested and properly sheltered thermometers. 6. To burn no more oil than is necessary. Value of Property and County Debt A statement issued by the State Controller's office shows the value of property and the indebtedness of each county for 1931, and lists Orange county as follows: Number of acres of land assessed, $439,869. Value of real estate, $93,045,240. Value of improvements on real estate, $42,313,200. Value of personal property, $22,685,- Women Censure Some of Movies Convention Hears Addresses and Appoints a Nominating Committee The 200 delegates who attended the convention of the Orange County Federation of Women's club in Anaheim last Friday, censured motion picture producers for releasing films which tend to tear down public morals. The censure was in the form of a resolution which came from the Sahta Ana clubs which called attention to the fact that during the past year pictures tending to give a false impression of American social life, particularly in making a display of drinking intoxicating liquors the divorce evil and generally loose morals, have been shown in Orange county. Speakers on Program "A New Age and a New Generation" was the general theme of the convention, which heard speakers at the Ebell club rooms. Miss Josephine Seaman spoke on "The Younger Generation in Fiction." She said that the very honesty of the younger generation commanded her respect, and she thinks they are moving on to something greater which in the end will produce a finer and higher type of indlyduallism. Mrs. Albert Launer and Mrs. Agnes McEuen discussed the importance of home life and the right spirit in controlling the young people. Resolution on Water Problem In addition to the resolution on motion pictures, another was adopted, relating to water conservation in Orange county. This resolution favored the appointment of a committee composed of three citizens from each of the five electoral districts in the county, and in 30 days after the resolution has been presented to the board of supervisors, that the board call a mass meeting of citizens to the end of establishing and carrying out a water program in the county. Committee on Nominations A nominating committee was appointed which is to report in April. The committee includes Mrs. F. L. Williams of Anaheim, Mrs. C. C. Bonebrake of Orange, Mrs. R. E.

A., which has been seeking a fund of $5,555 with which to meet the budget for the coming year. Subscriptions have passed the $3,500-mark, says Secretary Conrad Jongewaard, and $1,500 is outstanding from prospects who have given to the fund in other years. The effort to raise the total fund is to continue. HORACE FINE DIES Horace Fine, after 40 years of active work with Santa Ana newspapers, died at his home in that city, early Tuesday morning. He was 61 years old, was born in Santa Cruz, and went to Santa Ana in 1883. His wife died some years ago, and he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Charlotte Iufberry and Miss Cleora Fine.

The committee includes Mrs. F. L. Williams of Anaheim, Mrs. C. C. Bonebrake of Orange, Mrs. R. E. Downs of Huntington Beach, Mrs. William Whitehead of Santa Ana and Mrs. William Snow of La Habra. Orange Packing is Drawing to Close The season for packing Valencia oranges is drawing to a close in the Anaheim plants. Some are at work on off-blossom fruit and others are cleaning up the season's work. The Community Growers' plant will continue operations, however, until about the middle of November. The Anaheim Orange and Lemon association will also continue operations until next month, and will begin packing naval about the first of the year. The Anaheim Citrus association is now packing the fourth and last pool, and Carl Monohan says, the season has economic conditions considered, has been one of the association's best. The Anaheim Co-operative association is at work on off-bloom fruit and says Manager H. W. Pierce, and expects to close its work next week. Lion's Share Smelt Snared by V. Cruzen Four Anaheim nimrods, venturing forth on a moonlight fishing excursion to Balboa pier, returned in the wee sma' hours with only a half a tale of success. The Rev. H. L. Thatcher and Earl Walthal had several hours of fresh air, scenery from a weaving plier, and a moonlight story to tell for their efforts. Better luck, however, attended the efforts of Vernon Cruzon and Bill Snyder. Cruzen secured the lion's share (Brother Lion club members please note), which was 25 smelt and one mackerel, while Snyder claims that since he secured only three smelt, Cruzen has the best fish story.

AHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California, Thursday, October 29, 1931 Do Your Christmas Giving Early By Albert T. Reid ALBERT JT. REID_ ANTOCASTER A JOB OR TWO WHICH WILL ENABLE THE EMPLOYED TO PICK HIS OWN CHRISTMAS Second Unit to Be Finished Soon Boss Overall Will Also Build Third Section—Routes to San Diego Construction of the second unit of the $30,000 cleaning, mending and pressing plant of the Boss Overall Cleaners will be completed within the next week, according to Manager Gus Smith. Unit of Concrete The second unit consists of three rooms built solidly of concrete from roof to floor, for the purpose of meeting state building requirements for dry-cleaning plants. The unit will contain two dry rooms and the still room. The present dry rooms will have the partition removed, and changed into a wash room. The first unit, a large building facing Euclid avenue, was completed about a month ago, and the pressing and mending departments immediately moved into it. A third unit will be built in the near future near the present water tank, which will complete present plans for enlargement. Covers Large Territory Mr. Smith a month ago added his eighth driver, and was covering garage and manufacturing establishments for workman's clothes, from San Bernardino to Santa Monica, and from Highland Park to San Pedro and Long Beach. This week he is adding routes as far south as San Diego, and reports that his business from the southern portion of the state is showing exceptional promise. Anaheim Could Have Confusion of Tongues A confusion of tongues, such as the Tower of Babel had, would arise in Anaheim if all of the nationalities represented in its citizenry would speak in the language of their home lands. According to the U.S. Census report for 1930 as given in a California bulletin issued by the Census Bureau of Washington, there are 217 natives of England living in Anaheim. There are 49 from Scotland, 16 from Wales, 18 from North Ireland, 101 from Irish Free State, 55 from Norway, 59 from Sweden, 40 from Denmark, 36 from Switzerland, 80 from France, 844 from Germany, 17 from Poland, 9 from Czecho-Slovakia, 30 from Austria, 8 from Hungary, 9 from Yugoslavia, 22 from Russia, 1 from Finland, 10 from Greece, 6 from Italy, 12 from Spain, 20 French Canadians. Taxes Were Low in "Good Old Days" Secretary Leo J. Sheridan has found in the archives of the Anaheim Union Water Co. a tax receipt bearing the date of December 18, 1891, which shows that back in "the good old days" taxes were not so much that they could be grumbled about. The Water Company at that time owned a vacant lot on South Claudina street opposite the present City Hall building, which the assessor for taxation purposes appraised at $50. The tax rate in 1891 was 50 cents on each $100 valuation, so the Water Company had to pay 25 cents on its lot. The tax receipt was signed by William A. White, tax collector. Police Give Merchants Tickets for Parking Famous Ship May Come to Newport Effort Being Made to Bring "Old Ironsides" on Trip to California Coast The historic "Old Ironside," dear to the heart of all Americans, may turn its prow into the waters of the Pacific next year, and if it does, Newport Beach is anxious to have the old United States naval ship visit that harbor. A United Effort An effort is being made to have the frigate Constitution, better known as "Old Ironsides", sail up the California coast next year, and if the movement is successful, Newport Beach will insist that the harbor there be made a port of call. The Newport Chamber of Commerce and similar organizations along the California coast are joining in the effort to have the old ship ordered to the Pacific water so that western Americans may have a look at it. Newport Beach wants the visit made there while the Tournament of Lights is being displayed in July. Development of Harbor But whether "Old Ironsides" visits Newport Beach or not, the Service club of that city will soon ask immediate use of county and municipal funds for the development of the harbor. The club will ask that the Orange county supervisors furnish $25,000 for the improvement and the city council will at its next meeting be asked to appropriate $20,000. The suggested visit is proving so popular that it is being taken up all along the coast, from San Diego to Los Angeles. 60,000 to Hear From J. C. Lamb When some 60,000 people of Orange county get an envelop bearing the return card of J. C. Lamb, of Santa Ana, they need not perk up with the thought that he has sent them complimentary tickets to the next football game or to a picture show. No, nothing like that will be in the envelope. It will instead contain a statement of taxes owed the county, which will be due on Nov. 1. Mr. Lamb's office staff has been busy mailing out the statements and, since there are 9,000 more of them than a year ago, it may be November 1 before they all get into the mails. However taxpayers have until December 5 to make a settlement with the tax collector. Republican Barbeque at Stanton Home Mr. and Mrs. Philip A. Stanton have issued invitations to a barbecue, to be given at their home on Brookhurst road on Saturday afternoon, October 31. The affair is to be given, the invitations read, "as an appreciation of the loyal, unselfish men and women comprising the Rolph club of Orange county, whose devotion to the cause of our great human governor helped to make his nomination and election possible." Members of the California Highway Commission will be special guests. Police Give Merchants Tickets for Parking The Anaheim police handed out 15 tickets last Monday to alleged offenders of the over-time parking law, and Police Chief Bouldin says that ten of the tickets were given to members of the Merchants and Manufacturers' association. Chief Bouldin says that the ordinance limiting the time for parking was passed at the request of the association, and he thinks members of that organization should give co-operation in its enforcement. New Fill Dam Nearly Completed The new hydraulic fill dam being constructed across Santiago Canyon by the Irvine, the Serrano and John T. Carpenter Irrigation companies, is approaching completion, and will likely be finished November 30. When the new basin is filled with water it will contain 750 acre feet of moisture. A lake two miles long will be created, and about three-quarters of a mile wide at its widest point. The water will be 100 feet deep at the dam. New Manager for Community Growers The Anaheim Community Orange Growers' association now has a new secretary-manager in Edward Mills, whose appointment is announced by the board of directors. He succeeds John Ritchle who has been manager and the appointment became effective as soon as made. Mr. Ritchle resigned so that he might give his time to his own orange orchard and to other business. Development of Harbor But whether "Old Ironsides" visits Newport Beach or not, the Service club of that city will soon ask immediate use of county and municipal funds for the development of the harbor. The club will ask that the Orange county supervisors furnish $25,000 for the improvement and the city council will at its next meeting be asked to appropriate $20,000. The suggested visit is proving so popular that it is being taken up all along the coast, from San Diego to Puget Sound. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce will ask that Old Ironsides be anchored at San Pedro during the Olympic games, July 30 to August 14. San Francisco wants to see the famous ship in that harbor during the British-American sports. Portland, Seattle and other ports up the coast, will ask that the ship visit them should it come to the Pacific. Buena Park News Has New Editor Henry Schmitz, editor and publisher of the Buena Park News, sang "Aloha" to his subscribers in the issue of last week, and announced that the newspaper had passed to the ownership of W. C. Miller, who has been identified with the News for the past four years. Mr. Schmitz published the News for the last six years and during that period has been an uncasing worker for the community's upbuilding. He announces that on November 1 he will become publisher of a newspaper at Westminster. Mr. Miller has acquired more than local fame. One of his features has been "Sorguna Sprouts," another is "Turn-Up Patch," he has been sporting editor of the News and a contributor to the editorial page. TO SERVE ON GRAND JURY Superior Judge H. G. Adams has summoned the grand jury panel to report to him at 9:30 o'clock on November 2 when 19 of the 30 on the panel will be selected for duty. Those on the panel from Anaheim are J. E. Stewart, William A. Dolan and Perry Methls. THE WEEK'S SOCIAL REVIEW ONE OF THE GAZETTE'S BEST NEWS FEATURES FOR WOMEN THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET Number 4 Political "Yeast" Beginning to Work While the nominating primary will not be held until next August, with the election in the following November, more than a year away, nevertheless the "yeast" is said to be working now, with signs that next year is going to be a lively one in Orange county politics. Eight offices are to be opened to as many aspiring candidates. A U. S. Senator is to be voted for, and the prediction is made that Senator Shortridge will again carry Orange county. A congressman is to be elected from this the Ninth district. On the county ticket, two superior judges are to be elected, one supervisor from the Third district, one state senator and two assemblymen. Little is being done on the part of prospective candidates especially for the county offices, but it is said that early in the new year a number of lightning rods will be hoisted by aspirants. Anaheim Host To Hallowe'eners Program for Big Frolic Includes Parade and Many Other Lively Features For the eighth consecutive year Ana- Sordid Dollar In Deer Hunting Signs That Happy Hunting in Utah Mountains is Draw-in to Close BECOMES COMMERCIALIZED Local Hunters See Changing Attitude of Mountaineers First evidence that happy hunting day for Anaheim hunters who annually trek to the lofty mountains of Southwest Utah for their quota of der—and big five-pointers, too—will end within a few years were noticed last week upon the return of a party of 13 local nimrods, who brought back 12 bucks and a flock of heads for mounting. No Scarcity of Deer There was no scarcity of deer. Two Orange county huntsmen, Bill Brapp Jr. and Theodore Dinkler, went out the first morning, even though it was foggy, and had their deer apiece before 10 o'clock. They were in a hurry to return and could stay but one day. Another party, including L. N. (Pete) Wisser, Carl Zimmer, Mr. and Mrs. John Cook, Al Cook, Ralph Bouchey, H. E. Burton and Ross Outland, remained Anaheim Host To Hallowe’eners Program for Big Frolic Includes Parade and Many Other Lively Features For the eighth consecutive year Anaheim is to be host Friday night of this week to all Orange county at a gigantic festival of fun when merchants of the city present their free Hallowe’en frolic. Opens With Parade The event will open with a parade which promises to be the most attractive of any of the series presented here. More than 80 decorated cars and comic floats; 80 persons riding in the mounted division; and hundreds of costumed marchers are included in the lineup. Valuable prizes will be awarded. The parade will start promptly at 7:30 from Five Points in the western section of the city, moving into the business center along Center street. This arrangement will give spectators an exceptionally good chance to view the pageant. Free Vauderville at City Park Following the parade all marchers will adjourn to the theatre in the city park where they will be judged for prizes. At the same place a free vauderville program is to be presented. The theatre program will be followed by a free street dance in the business section where an entire block will be cleared of automobiles and traffic for the event. Nothing for Sale Merchants emphasize that in their program there is nothing for sale. They have financed the carnival by subscription among themselves and offer the entertainment as their contribution to the spirit of Hallowe’en. They declare that since the inception of their venture eight years ago the annual Hallowe’en depredations in Orange county have decreased almost entirely. Last year the carnival drew an attendance estimated at approximately 40,000. Application Made for Liquor License The City Council at its meeting Tuesday night received a letter from Swope Brothers, of Hollywood, asking that their request for a wholesale liquor license be placed on file with the council. The request said that if in nimrods, who brought back 12 bucks and a flock of heads for mounting. No Scarcity of Deer There was no scarcity of deer. Two Orange county huntsmen, Bill Brapp Jr. and Theodore Dinkler, went out the first morning, even though it was foggy, and had their deer apiece before 10 o’clock. They were in a hurry to return and could stay but one day. Another party, including L. N. (Pete) Wisser, Carl Zimmer, Mr. and Mrs. John Cook, Al Cook, Ralph Bouchey, H. E. Burton and Ross Outland, remained most of the week and spent the first two days, which were cloudy, in camp playing cards. They all secured their deer on the third day, when the clouds lifted from the 10,000-foot mountains that overlooked the valley. The last party returned Saturday. Drs. Charles Schutz and John Boege returned nearly a week earlier with a deer apiece. Becoming Commercialized John Cook, who has a “higher-up” friend among the Mormons in that section of the state, this year regretted to see the first evidences in the St. George neighborhood of commercialization of the hunting possibilities in the Utah mountains. “In previous years the good folks of that district didn’t seem to have their minds on the mighty dollar. They were exceptionally hospitable, couldn’t do enough for visitors, and forgot to discuss money matters. In fact, the ‘filthy lucrere’ seemed to be fartherest from their minds. This tendency still dominates, but this fall, as we were returning from the mountains with our deer, the ranger who checked us out asked us for an estimate of how much money we had spent in St. George, explaining that ‘We just wanted to find out how much the hunters are bringing into the community.’ Taking First Step “Of course, this was perfectly all right, and I was glad to tell him that our party spent about $350 during the week that we were there. But it is the first step toward commercializing the district, especially for the hunters. This year there were special inducements to hunters, and every effort was made to make it easier to spend money at St. George. Eventually, with additional advertising, more and more hunters from California, Nevada and other places, will invade that district, and that means the beginning of the end of its value as a hunting ground. “I’ve never had so much fun in my life as the week each year for the last four years that I’ve spent in the Utah mountains. That is one of the reasons why I hate to see hunting commercialized.” Flooding Duck Ponds Arouse Opposition The flooding of duck ponds by gun Application Made for Liquor License The City Council at its meeting Tuesday night received a letter from Swope Brothers, of Hollywood, asking that their request for a wholesale liquor license be placed on file with the council. The request said that if in the future any change should be made in the prohibition laws which would permit the sale of light wines and other liquors, the applicants desired to have their application in the archives of the council. The Swope Brothers before prohibitionaws went into effect conducted a wholesale liquor house on West Center street for eight years. $20,000 Improvements at St. Catherine's St. Catherine's School for Boys will early next week begin construction of improvements in the form of additions which will cost about $20,000, according to Major D. M. Healy, cadet corps commandment. A second story is to be erected over the cadets' locker room in which new class rooms will be opened and a modern swimming pool is to be built. With the enlarged facilities, the academic curriculum will be broadened to include ninth grade courses. The contract for the construction work has been let to Nicholas South of Anaheim, and the pool will be built by the Paddock Engineering Co. of Los Angeles. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR RALLY The Christian Endeavor society of the Presbyterian church held a rally Sunday evening. 14 new members being among those who attended. The program was given by the Orange County Union, with Glenn Moody of El Modena as chairman. Among the speakers were Earl Zahl, Miss Day and Miss Skilleg. Flooding Duck Ponds Arouse Opposition The flooding of duck ponds by gun clubs operating in Orange county came up again at the meeting of the Orange County Association Chamber of Commerce, held at Costa Mesa, Tuesday night. Ross Shafer of Tustin offered a resolution opposing the practice of using fresh water for filling the ponds, and said that water used for non-beneficial purposes is a waste, and that the county can ill afford to lose any of its water. Jack Grill, president of the Farm Eureau, said that three conferences have been held with beach gun clubs which use fresh water in their ponds, and that an ordinance will likely be adopted which will stop the practice. Business Men in New Stag Club Former and present business associates of Charles Jacoby attended a supper and card party last Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Launder, the affair being in compliment to Mr. and Mrs. Jacoby. There were 20 present and they informally organized a Saturday evening stag club to meet once a month. RETURNS FROM CONVENTION The Rev. C. H. S. Hunziker, of Grace Lutheran church, has returned form a trip back East, when he attended the convention of church district presidents at Milwaukee. He also made a speaking tour of several cities in Illinois and Ohio, when he showed moving pictures of mission work the Lutherans are doing in California.
