AVOCADO THIEVES CAUGHT C. D. Klein and C. E. Gorey, both of Compton, are in the meshes of the law on the charge of stealing 26 lugs of green avocados, valued at $200, from the orchard of A. C. Thompson, near the Hacienda Country club, in this county. The capture of the two was brought about by Leo Porter and Steve Duhart, of the fruit patrol, who found an automobile loaded with the lugs, and Klein and Corey were seized with the car. Banquets to Mark Father and Son Week The Anaheim Y. M. C. A. and the Ministerial Union are sponsoring the observance of Father and Son week, chiefly marked by banquets in six churches of the city on Friday evening, November 13. The observance of the week begins on November 8. The churches which are arranging for Father and Son feasts are the White Temple Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, Salem Evangelical, Wesley Methodist Episcopal, South Calvary Baptist and Church of Christ. Other churches were unable to join because of the absence of their pastors on that evening. Mayor L. E. Miller has addressed an open letter to the people of Anaheim, as follows: "Because it has an important bearing on civic welfare in Anaheim, as well as on individual welfare in countless case, I feel, it my duty to call attention to the well-conceived plan for a Father and Son week, November 8-14. "The purpose is admirable. Anything that tends to bring father and son closer together in friendly spirit cannot but be beneficial to themselves and to the community. "I believe that fathers can do more than any others to stem the great and alarming tide of 'dropping out' of school, which carries many boys out into the world until for progress and prosperity or public service. "Many boys grow to manhood virtually ignorant of even the simplest processes of government. These every father can explain to his son. The son, in every case, should become better than his father, for that marks progress. "The 'week' that is coming will suggest many ways in which fathers may gain more completely the confidence of their sons, with all that means of effective guidance and unpresented control. "1. therefore, call upon the fathers o this city and request their co-operation of this city and request their co-operation, with their sons, at least one of the church banquets to be held Friday, November 13, during the 'Father" Orange County Water M Orange county has water its own which are pressing and the county is dispose its own canoe," was the o presentatives of this coupe peared at the meeting of joint legislative water commet at Riverside, Tuesday.

In the last month less than a dozen families have applied to the department for help, Mrs. Price said. Of course, she said, there are always some families in need of assistance, but depression and starvation stories have been affront which are not entirely based on fact. That the recent moves made by organizations to give some measure of relief to the unemployed by furnishing them with partial employment has born fruit is evidenced by the fact that while the city welfare department spent $67.50 for groceries and other commodities for the needy during the month of September, but $50.73 was spent last month. All persons who apply for assistance at the welfare department office are given immediate consideration, although all permanent cases are referred to the county welfare dept. Transients who apply at the office for aid are given a few dollars worth of groceries and are told to leave town. This is done. Mrs. Price said, in order to keep them from becoming a permanent burden on the city. Last month $17.50 was spent for groceries, $11.10 for milk, $2.75 for clothing, $3.00 for water bills, $4.28 for gas bills, $7.50 for rent, $1.60 for gasoline and $3.00 for glasses, making a total of $50.73. Mrs. Price took care of 163 home and office calls during the month. During October $4 babies were attended at three clinics.

Gregg, who a short time ago resigned as director of the Orange county social welfare department, was seized by a stroke of apoplexy, last Saturday afternoon, and died suddenly at his home in Orange. He was at work in his garden at the time and was seen lying on the ground by a woman who was passing and who summoned help. He was a native of San Francisco, 58 years old, and came to Orange in 1894. Before becoming the head of the welfare department, he had served as deputy county recorder and as deputy county assessor. He was secretary of the Masonic lodge in Orange for 27 years and was also a member of the Eastern Star and Royal Arch Masons. He was well known over the county. He is survived by Mrs. Gregg and two children. A brother, Harry Gregg, lives in Reno, Nevada.

And the county is disposed to "paddle its own canoe," was the opinion of representatives of this county who appeared at the meeting of the State point legislative water committee, which met at Riverside, Tuesday. The Orange county representatives were also of the opinion that the California state water development program should be intended to aid those districts already under cultivation and in need of more certain irrigation resources, rather than the development help considering high academic records in preparatory schools or during undergraduate years. This material encouragement has a monetary value of approximately $100,000, the comptroller reports. Fellowships through which 15 men and 10 women students are employed as teaching or research fellows involve $10,000. Readers and assistants number 64 with an earning record of $10,000 an told. Student library assistants are earning $7,700, divided among 38 men and 9 coeds. Work on buildings and grounds at University Park, done by student janitors, grass mowers, movers, and window cleaners, pays 100 college men an average of $25 per month per man. VERY LATEST by MARY MARSHALL Dresses this season must be becoming. That is absolutely essential because the time has passed when one might choose a dress that was up to date and smart and let it go at that. To be sure we like to have our dresses reflect the recent fashion trends and most of us insist on smartness. But remember this—a dress cannot really reflect the new smartness unless it is becoming. Whether you buy it really made or make it at home yourself your new dress must have that look of individual adaptation characteristic of the dressmaker dress that has been designed expressly to suit the individuality of the woman who wears it. Collars and sleeves focus our attention this summer and the design of these features of a dress has much to do with its becoming. Collars are not always cut higher at the front but there is a tendency to fit them more carefully at the side and back. Many of the new dresses for autumn and winter are finished with a narrow band of fur at the neckline. Some of the new dresses are finished with flattering wide revers. Others show a new modified cowl neckline. Sometimes the touch of lingerie takes the form of a lace modesty piece at the point of a deep V-neck line. More often the touch of lingerie consists of a collar made of lace or satin or chiffon. The one shown in the sketch is of white satin or organdie. is own which are pressing for solution, and the county is disposed to "paddle its own canoe," was the opinion of representatives of this county who appeared at the meeting of the State point legislative water committee, which met at Riverside, Tuesday. The Orange county representatives were also of the opinion that the California state water development program should be intended to aid those districts already under cultivation and in need of more certain irrigation resources, rather than the development of new areas. William Jerome of Santa Ana and Ross Shafer of Tustin stated the case for Orange county at the meeting, which was intended to be a survey of opinion on an all-state water program. Francis Cuttle of Riverside, chairman of the tri-counties reforestation committee, stated the case for the Santa Ana river pointing out that the state had already offered $400,000 for the work if the sum were matched by the three counties involved. As this had not been done by the counties they were hardly in a position to ask the state for more aid. O. T. Stephens of La Habra, president of the Association Chambers of Commerce, led a delegation of approximately 25 Orange county residents to Riverside. County Planners In Session Today The Orange County Planning Commission met at Santa Ana today with Dr. W. L. Bigham, chairman of Anaheim, to discuss the proposed county planning regulations. The commission has held many conferences in months past, especially with representatives of the Farm Bureau for the purpose of working out details of the regulations. At today's meeting Jules Markel, chairman of the building code, made his report. He has been at work on the county-wide plan for about two years. The proposed building ordinance is intended to apply only to congested rural areas outside the incorporated cities. Various committees of the commission were to make reports today. Two More Cars For Fruit Patrol The Board of Supervisors has authorized the purchase of two more motor cars for the use of the Fruit Patrol that the patrolmen may expand their efficiency in thwarting thieves in rural districts.

It is proposed to equip the cars with radio receiving sets, the cast of the equipment to be met by the patrol members. The action was taken after District Attorney Sam L. Collins had suggested that by allowing the fruit patrol members to use county cars instead of their own by reducing their salaries from $200 to $175 per month, the patrol would be able to cover a much larger territory than when members used their own cars and paid the operating expense. Factory Aide Will Demonstrate Paints In response to requests of people who attended the demonstrations held here last year, B. F. Spencer of Spencer's Store at 166 West Center street this week announced that another demonstration of painting lamps, lamp shades, candles and other decorative household articles will be held at his store November 13 and 14. A woman who has had considerable experience with the Pittsburgh Plate Glass factory will be in charge of the demonstration. Trojan Students Are Money-Makers A total of $228,550 is reported by Comptroller Henry Bruce of the University of Southern California as the estimated amount which is being dispensed this year by the Trojan institution in scholarships, fellowships, loan funds and student aid. The board of trustees augmented the general loan fund this term by an additional $10,000 to aid ambitious and diligent college students who need financial assistance aside from the personal or parental purse due to an emergency situation. Scholarships went to 376 students at Southern California who merited such Mrs. Matilda Erickson died at her home, 201 Helena street, yesterday morning. She was 73 years old and had lived in Anaheim for seven years. She was a member of the Elks Ladies and Lois Rebekah, and was a charter member of the Rebekah lodge at Moline Illinois, her native town.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE One of the last photographs of Thomas A. Edison caught him speaking over the microphone at his West Orange laboratory. San Francisco Chamber of Commerce supply him with information relative to the type of machine or magnet used in removing the seeds from seedless navel oranges. Industrial specialists, who are familiar with machines for drilling the holes in the center of the succulent spaghetti, who have available thousands of cards listing every conceivable product made in San Francisco, and who prepare voluminous reports for persons seeking to locate new industries hastily want into a huddle to organize themselves for the seeking of the manufacturers of this wonderful new invention. The specialists finally concluded that the only answer to the query was that no such incidence is made in the many specialized shops of the city. After deliberation they concluded to inform the government that the seeds are not removed to make the seedless variety of nuts since they grow that way. The depression is getting worse.
