TWO WASHINGTON LETTERS TOPICS OF GENERAL INTEREST AT THE NATION'S CAPITOL THE GAZETTE CALL TWO-FOUR-ONE-FOUR VOLUME LXII Orange County at Hallowe'en Party 40,000 More or Less Swarmed Anaheim Streets to See Friday Night's Parade Take Orange county by and large, there's a lot of people in it, and every chick and child of 'em seemed to swarm into Anaheim for the Hallowe'en party, last Friday night. Some estimators said there were 35,000 people participating in the festival of gobblins and witches; some said there were 40,000—but whatever the number, it was a crowd which filled the downtown streets along which the parade—the feature of the party—march in gorgeous array and to much musle. Streets not filled with people were filled with parked autos. A Festival of Fun In full harmony with the occasion, the floats, costumed characters afoot, or not, wore a comical air, for it was a festival of fun and Hallowe'en mimicry. But why try to describe it, when everybody was on hand to see for themselves? There was a float showing the first Hallowe'en in Anaheim, in 1866—with a little red school house on a truck—a striking picture provided by the pioneer house of F. A. Yungbluth. The Ebell club's float was a huge pumpkin, regaled with corn stalks. Sun is Shining in Postoffice Windows The November sun is shining through the windows at the postoffice these days, and Postmaster J. H. Whitaker, always an optimist, is seeing a silver lining in the financial affairs of his mail station. It is all because the receipts for the last month went over last year's total by $397.35, or $4,929.04, compared to $4,531.68. But there is a cloud about the size of the Postmaster's hand in his financial skies, for the receipts for the year up-to-date are somewhat behind the amount for the corresponding period of last year. But, looking ahead to the Christmas season, the Postmaster thinks some of the lost ground may be regained by the New Year. New Device Which Measures Smoke Tests Made of Several Kinds of Citrus Orchard Heaters at Riverside Citrus fruit growers from Southland counties who gathered at Riverside last Saturday to witness demonstrations in the reduction of smoke from smudge pots in orchards, saw the first public demonstration of a device, invented by University of California scientists, to A Festival of Fun In full harmony with the occasion, the floats, costumed characters afoot, or not, wore a comical air, for it was a festival of fun and Hallowe'en mimicry. But why try to describe it, when everybody was on hand to see for themselves? There was a float showing the first Hallowe'en in Anaheim, in 1866—with a little red school house on a truck—a striking picture provided by the pioneer house of F. A. Yungbluth. The Ebell club's float was a huge pumpkin, regaled with corn stalks. Spencer's paint and paper house was represented by a two-lung auto, which chugged its way into general attention. Bands and Bugle Corps The civic organizations, business houses, were to a total number of about 80 represented in the pageant, with bands, bugle and drum corps sprinkled in between them as spirited escorts. Of course, with all kinds of people running the streets with loose rein, there was some rowdy abroad who stole auto tires and other equipment from cars of out-of-town visitors. The police gathered in a few highly ornamented drunks. One woman fainted in the press of the crowds. A piano was damaged when the trailer on which it rode in the parade broke loose and ran into a curb. Mrs. Mary Maciel, of 228 Julian street, reported to the police that during the parade she lost her purse containing $84. What Party Was For But withall, everybody had a riotous time—and that was what the party was for. After the parade was over, some of the crowd went to the City park where prize awards were made. The awards were in the form of orders for merchandise, which the business houses later redeemed. The prize awards were: Floats and Cars Most Beautiful Float—S. Q. R. store. Most Comical Float—Parts Cleaners. Beautiful Car—Aves Beauty Parlor. Most Comical Car—Spencer's store. Most Comical Stunt—Henry Le Gari, Buena Park.

Tests Made of Several Kinds of Citrus Orchard Heaters at Riverside Citrus fruit growers from Southland counties who gathered at Riverside last Saturday to witness demonstrations in the reduction of smoke from smudge pots in orchards, saw the first public demonstration of a device invented by University of California scientists, to measure smoke from orchard heaters. The demonstration was conducted at the University's Riverside Experiment Station. In charge were Warren R. Schoonover, citrus specialist, J. P. Farbank, specialists in agricultural engineering, and C. E. Barbee, mechanician of the College of Agriculture. Three Kinds Tested Three types of heaters were placed on test, one with a long stack, one a medium-height stack and the third a stackless type. Under the proposed antismudge ordinance, which Riverside county has not yet adopted, a tolerance of not more than twenty grams of carbonaceous matter per pound of fuel consumed would be made. Actual tests made showed the tail-stack heater, which being burned under the possible conditions as to cleanliness and adjustment, produced too little carbon to weigh from the smoke output. This heater burned 8 minutes 35 seconds in the test. Two Other Tests Test of the medium height stack heater showed more than sixteen grams of carbon residue from the smoke output. This heater was operated for 5 minutes 12 seconds. Test of the stackless heater showed forty-five grams of carbon from the smoke output, after the heater had been burned for six minutes. Other testing methods used included the attachment of an asbestos filter on a Buchner funnel, which gave a heavy carbon deposit. In air-mesh filter type was also used. These methods were tried out at the college of agriculture and found impractical because of the difficulty of weighing carbon deposits. Orange County Not Represented Cost of the testing apparatus, which is mounted on a large truck for transportation, was about $1000 exclusive of the truck cost, according to Schoonover. Following the tests at the experiment station, members of the committee and representatives of Riverside and San Bernardino counties were luncheon guests at the Mission Inn. Orange county was not represented. B. R. Holloway of Van Nuys, chairman of the committee, presided both at the demonstration at the experiment station and at the informal after-lunch session at the inn.

Red Cross Plans for Roll Call The Anaheim chapter of the American Red Cross will begin the annual roll call on November 11 and will continue the effort to enroll old and new members until Thanksgiving. A meeting to plan the campaign is to be held at the City Hall tonight, when H. N. White, chairman of the local chapter will preside, and Arch Henry, roll chairmen, and others will discuss campaign plans and the necessity of generous public response. The cost of a membership for a year is a dollar, half of which goes for welfare work in Anaheim. Good-Bye Dinner for Phil D. Swing A testimonial dinner was given Congressman Phil D. Swing last evening at the Hotel Alexander, Los Angeles by several hundred of his friends from every part of Southern California to express their appreciation of his work in Congress on behalf of the entire state. Congressman Swing left for Washington today. Mr. Swing was a co-author of the Swing-Johnson bill and took the leadership in the ten-year fight to get through Congress the legislation which made Hoover Dam and the Metropolitan aqueduct possible. After a hard fight Mr. Swing also put through the bill withdrawing from entry 376,000 acres in Mono and Inyo counties, in the watershed of the Owens river, thus helping to safeguard the northern water supply of Los Angeles. CHANGES ITS AGENCY The Placentia Co-operative Orange association, by a two-thirds majority of its stockholders, has voted to change its selling agency from the Mutual Orange Distributors to the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The association has 59 members who have 550 acres of citrus groves.

Reid SO IT BECAME NECESSARY TO WRITE INSURANCE TO COVER GOLF RISKS SHUT UP WHEN I'M PUTTIN' THE BEGINNER POISONED! THE SQUARE GUARANTEED IT Save the Beaches Committee Named Prominent Civic Workers of Southland Appointed by Ole Hanson Chairman Ole Hanson of the Save the Beaches organization has announced the make-up of his committee which will take up the cudgels against the pollution of Pacific waters with oil along the coast of California. Prominent civic workers from almost every city and community between San Diego and Santa Barbara, who are serving on the committee, will delve into the best solution for the prohibition of pollution of the California beaches. Members of Committee Mr. Hanson who was named chairman of the organization formed at Long Beach recently, announced the personnel of the committee: Congressman Swing and Crall, Lieut.-Gov. Merriam, S. D. Mardsen, San Diego; W. L. Van Schaik, La Jolla; E. C. Batchelder, Del Mar; Paul Deck, Oceanside; O. M. Bartow, San Clemente; Fred Mitchell, Carlsbad; Aaron Buchen, Dohney Park; S. H.

Mattison, Hermosa Beach; Harry W. Strangman. Show Windows in Hallowe'en Contest Much of the Hallowe'en interest concentrated on the show windows which Anaheim merchants arrayed in a prize contest, originality prevailing in all of them. Competition was keen and the judges had difficulty in deciding on the winners. The first award went to the Vincent Furniture store, second to the S. Q. R. store and third to the Stroup-Barnes Furniture Co. Honorable mention was given the J. C. Penny Co., Ormsby department store, Rlutcel-Smith Furniture store, Maecres' Flower shop and the Stevens-Van Englen department store. The Vincent window illustrated an old-time idea of celebrating Hallowe'en, with over-turned barrels, tin cans and other wreckage scattered over the alwn. The S. Q. R. window portrayed a witch's cave. The Stroup-Barnes window showed an old-fashioned parlor of 50 or 60 years ago, with its organ, a corner what-not, plush album of family tintypes, lace curtains, and a hand-painted china cuspidor. The Ormsby display showed an elaborately decorated table, ready for Hallowe'en dinner party. "Rastus' Hallowe'en Dream" was realistically shown in the Macre window, with its witches, skeleton and other imaginations of a young negro's mind. The Stevens-Van Englen window showed a grave guarded by a ghost, and in the grave was a dentist who had "filled his last cavity." "Anaheim's Night Out" was the subject of the Rlutcel-Smith window, where hobgobbins climbed over a bedroom suit and scampered about the room. New Appointments by Fruit Exchange Four Men Named for High Places in Sunkist Organization Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, has announced the appointment of T. H. Powell, former lemon sales manager, as general sales manager of the Sunkist organization, which markets over 77 per cent of the California citrus crop. 11 Years of Experience Mr. Powell became associated with the Exchange in 1900 and was appointed general western agent in 1906, later becoming lemon sales manager of the Exchange in 1908 with headquarters in Los Angeles." Mr. Powell brings to this new position 31 years of wide experience in the citrus industry, and his appointment will even further strengthen the Exchange sales organization," said Mr. Armstrong. Dale King Advanced Announcement was also made by Mr. Armstrong of the appointment of Dale R. King, former manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, as assistant general manager of the Sunkist organization. His experience with the Exchange dates back to 1907. In 1911 Mr. King was made district manager at San Francisco, and in 1917 he became manager of the newly organized Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, now the largest shipper through the Sunkist organization. Republicans Feast at Stanton Home Surprise Party for City Clerk Merrill City Clerk Edward B. Merritt celebrated his 80th birthday, but he did not know the celebration was coming off until the forces of the city hall office zoomed into the clerk's office last Saturday and surprised him. It was also a Hallowe'en party. There was a toothsome cake, in Halloween colors, with plenty of black cats made of cardboard. There was also a quantity of cigars, wrapped in corn husks. "Daddy" Merritt confessed to being 80 years old. And he has been city clerk of Anaheim for 31 years. MORE MEXICANS GO HOME Two special trains bearing 1200 Mexicans left Los Angeles last week for Juarez and Noagles. The trains were chartered by the county board of supervisors. Between 60,000 and 80,000 Mexicans have departed for their homeland since January 1, due to lack of employment and other economic troubles. Republicans ranking from state to county and city officials, to the number of about 200, participated in the reception and barque at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Stanton, last Saturday afternoon. It was an informal affair, a kind of reunion of Republicans who have been active in national, state and local political affairs for years. There was no speech making, but an enjoyable afternoon, which culminated around a large table spread out of doors, where toothsome steak, salad, spaghetti, pie and coffee were served. The visitors, who also included a number of editors, wandered over the beautiful estate and its imposing home. Governor Rolph was unable to attend because of illness, but sent his regress by James Herz, deputy director of public works, and the Governor was also represented by his son, James Rolph III. The State Highway Commission, of which Mr. Stanton is a member, was represented by its members—Earl L. Kelley, of Redding, chairman of the commission; Harry A. Hopkins, of Taft; T. A. Reardon, of San Francisco; Frank H. Tteley, of Riverside. John Howe, secretary of the commission, and C. H. Purcell, state engineer, were also present. ASKED TO FULFILL PLEDGE The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has addressed a resolution to the Rio Grande Oil Co., asking that an agreement made last spring be fulfilled, when the company was to deed to the county an 80-foot right-of-way through its property for the improvement of Firestone boulevard, also known as Manchester avenue. Dale King Advanced Announcement was also made by Mr. Armstrong of the appointment of Dale R. King, former manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, as assistant general manager of the Sunkist organization. His experience with the Exchange dates back to 1907. In 1911 Mr. King was made district manager at San Francisco, and in 1917 he became manager of the newly organized Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, now the largest shipper through the Sunkist organization. Another change in the Sunkist personnel, stated Mr. Armstrong, is the appointment of James O. Cook, Jr., as secretary. Mr. Cook became associated with the organization in 1915 but resigned to serve in France from 1917 to 1919. After the war he again joined the Sunkist organization and was assistant advertising manager prior to his present appointment. New Assistant Manager H. E. Pitt, district manager of the Chicago Sunkist sales office, has been appointed assistant to Mr. Powell. Mr. Pitt's experience with the Exchange started in 1908, and since that time he has served as assistant and district manager at Chicago. These new appointments fill the vacancies in Exchange executive ranks in anticipation of another big California citrus marketing season in 1932," stated Mr. Armstrong." Each of these men has served the Exchange long and well and this organization is fortunate indeed in having men of this caliber in responsible positions." Forecast Made of Next Valencia Crop George Crawford, assistant manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, has made a forecast of the future and predicts the Valencia crop of next year will be at 80 to 85 percent of the harvest of 1931. There is no serious frost, no unfavorable weather. It is too early to make a for-certain estimate, he says, but he bases his prediction on estimates made by growers packing house officials and field men. Society to Hear of Old Bear Hunter S. M. Davis, secretary of the Orange County Historical Society, has issued an announcement of a meeting of the organization at the Ebell club house, at French and Seventh streets, Santa Ana, on the evening of Nov. 6. Three speakers are on the program. T. E. Stephenson will speak on "Jonathan Watson, the Bear Hunter." Mr. Watson, a pioneer who is still living, has been a resident of Orange county for some 60 years, and in his youth was a noted foot racer as well as a bear hunter. Dr. C. D. Ball will speak on "Aviation in Orange county." Dr. Bessen Raishe will speak on "The First Aviatrix." Armistice Day a County-Wide Event Civic and Patriotic Organizations Joining With Legion Posts in Making Plans Armistice Day on November 11 looms large on the calendar of Orange county, and the indications are that the day will be more generally observed than in any year in the past. Civic and patriotic organizations over the county are with enthusiasm joining with the Thieves Invading County at Night Committee Formed to Suppress Raids on Orchards and Poultry Farms From bank raids and filling station hold-ups in cities, depredations by relentless thieves are spreading to the rural districts of Southern counties in California. Thieves re invading fruit orchards and poultry yards to such an extent that a committee interested in law enforcement in Orange county has appealed to Sheriff Logan, who has offered to deputize responsible men who may be selected in each locality by the Orange County Farm Bureau to aid in checking the thefts and to help in the capture of the thieves. More Protection Virted Members of the Farm Bureau, at a conference recently held in Santa Anna, declared that people in the rural sections of the county are not getting the protection from the daring thieves that they ought to have, but Chairman Mitchell, of the Board of Supervincers, said that the board had reduced county expense budgets to the "bone dry" point and has no money with which to expand the Fruit Patrol force, which was on Sept. 1 reduced in number of men for the sake of economy. Some of the Farm Bureau members said that the county is far from being Civic and Patriotic Organizations Joining With Legion Posts in Making Plans Armistice Day on November 11 looms large on the calendar of Orange county, and the indications are that the day will be more generally observed than in any year in the past. Civic and patriotic organizations over the county are with enthusiasm joining with the American Legion in making the observance a big one at Santa Ana, where the county-wide program will be concentrated, with a parade through the streets a special feature. Boosters From Santa Ana A delegation from the Santa Ana Legion post was here Monday night for a meeting with the Anaheim post, the meeting being preceded by a parade in downtown streets, headed by the drum and bugle corps of the two poets. At the meeting Judge J. B. Tucker and Franklyn West discussed the plans which are being worked out at Santa Ana. It is expected that the parade will be made up of about 50 floats, escorted by bands, drum and bugle corps and other marching musical organizations. 100,000 Spectators Expected The executive committee at Santa Ana is deep in preparations for the day, when it is expected that 100,000 people will assemble along the streets for the pageant, which will begin to move at 11 a.m. In addition to the 50 floats, it is expected that 22 bandss and drum and bugle corps will be in the line. Following the parade, speakers will make addresses in Birch park, and at 2:30 p.m. m. the Santa Ana and Anaheim high school football teams will "fight it out" at Poly field. Two dances are to be held in the evening, one at the Legion hall and the other at the new Masonic temple. Judge Scovel is Grand Marshall Judge G. K. Scovel will be grand marshal of the day. Charles Van Wyk, chairman of the parade committee, announce that all entries from Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton, Brea, Placentia, La Habra and Buena Park will come into Santa Ana by way of Chapman avenue and North Main streets and ask for further instructions at Seventeenth and Main. Entries from Garden Grove, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach will come into Santa Ana by way of Seventeenth street. Entries from Tustin, San Juan Capistrano, Capistrano Beach, San Clemente, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach will come into Santa Ana by way of Main street. All marching units will park their cars back of the Francis Willard Junior high school, entrance on Sycamore street just north of Tenth. Members of the Farm Bureau, at a conference recently held in Santa Ana, declared that people in the rural sections of the county are not getting protection from the daring thieves that they ought to have, but Chairman Mitchell, of the Board of Supervisors, said that the board had reduced county expense budgets to the "bone dry" point and has no money with which to expand the Fruit Patrol force, which was on Sept. 1 reduced in number of men for the sake of economy. Some of the Farm Bureau members said that the county is far from being "broke," and urged that rewards for the capture of the thieves should be offered and made large enough so that the raiders would keep out of Orange county. Thieves Hungry for Spoils The thieves have become so hungry for spoils that they are carrying off what in the aggregate amounts to a large amount of fruit and poultry. One avocado orchard lost $500 worth of fruit in one night. In raids on La Habra avocado groves, the thieves have even pulled up young trees by the roots and carried them off. Sheriff Jackson said that he has only six officers available to chase criminals in the county and give protection to the 43,000 people who live in the rural districts, while there are 94 officers in the cities of the county to give protection of 77,000 population. Plan for Radio Sets The plan of District Attorney Sam L. Collins to equip the autos of the Fruit Patrol with radio receiving sets, to which "hurry up" messages could be broadcast from a central station, has won the approval of many Farm Board members, for the proposed plan would greatly help in the protection of rural districts. President John W. Crill of the Farm Bureau has appointed a committee to work out details of a plan for co-ordinate protection which will support the Sheriff and District Attorney in their efforts to suppress raids in country districts. Make-Up of Committee This committee includes Sheriff Jackson, District Attorney Colline, Chairman John Mitchell of the county supervisors; Constables Cornish Roehm of Santa Ana; W. D. Tremaine of Brea; Gale Bergey of Huntington Beach, and Ed Marlon of Anaheim; President Crill and Secretary Roland D. Flaherty of the Farm Bureau; Dr. F. D. Halm, La Habra, head of the bureau's avocado department; W. C. Childers, Santa Ana, head of the poultry department; Regional Director J. A. Smiley of West Orange; Ray Frantz, La Habra and Frank Jones of East Seventeenth street. Mrs. Rea Dies of Heart Attack Mrs. Margaret B.

It’s Here Again—Tax Paying Time Well, folks, it’s here again—tax paying time. This time owners of Anaheim city property are due at the collector’s office in the city hall. But there is no need of pushing and crowding, for the last day for payment is December 5. In the meantime, Miss Etta Williams will be at the collector’s office ready to receive money and stamp statements "paid." But it will be just too bad for those who do not make payment until after December 5 for after that date a penalty of 10 percent will be tacked on. About $4000 was collected on the first day, said Miss Williams, while only $440 was paid in on the first day of last year. TEN MORE FAMILIES Ten new families have come to Anaheim in the last week or ten days to make their permanent homes, according to the Chamber of Commerce and the public service department of the city, which co-operate in registering the new-comers. The names of the new arrivals from week to week are available at the Chamber of Commerce office. OCTOBER POLICE REPORT The October police report prepared by Chief of Police Bouldin for the city council shows 27 arrests were made during the month, 14 of them intoxication charges. Nine stolen cars were recovered. Lodging was given 237 wandering at the city jail during the month, the number for September being only 78.
