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. Salvation Army Caring for Needy Relief Station is Taking Heavy Civic Burden off Anaheim Public The Salvation Army's emergency relief station at 226 South Los Angeles street has justified itself and proved a genuine civic asset, although it has been in operation only about a week. Its station is a hotel for foot-weary wayfarers who come into Anaheim by the dozens, chiefly asking for money with which to buy food as they have gone from door to door. Takes Up Civic Burden But the Salvation Army has taken on this civic burden with which women in the homes and men in the stores and offices have been inflicted for weeks, for now men who ask for food can be directed to the Salvation Army station, where meals and a bed can be obtained by a tramp who is penniless. All that he is asked to give in return is to do a little work at the station's woodpile. That the station is a genuine need both for the people of the city as well as the unfortunates who patronize it, was shown over the first week-end, when 86 transients were provided for, not including 20 men who were sheltered in the City jail on Saturday night and 19 on Sunday night. The Army's shelter house has also been a relief to the Christmas Attire in Streets of Anaheim The streets in Anaheim business districts began to take on their Christmas attire today in the form of evergreen trees and the stringing of electric wires which are to provide brilliant illumination. The electric connections have been made by under the direction of V. W. Hannun, superintendent of water and power. About 140 Christmas trees were to be set up today, with more to follow, and merchants have been asked to decorate the trees in front of their stores this Friday and Saturday, for the Christmas shopping season is to be inaugurated on Saturday night. The business men have also been asked to decorate show windows of vacant rooms which may adjoin their stores. City is Starting Jobs for Jobless Water Mains Now Being Laid and Conduits Will Be Placed Later Since the Salvation Army has assumed the task of providing for litterants who drift into the city seeking food and shelter, the city officials are giving attention to providing work for the jobless men who live in Anaheim. Less than 200 men have reported to the Chamber of Commerce that they are in need of employment, and city officials for now men who ask for food can be directed to the Salvation Army station, where meals and a bed can be obtained by a tramp who is penniless. All that he is asked to give in return is to do a little work at the station's woodpile. That the station is a genuine need both for the people of the city as well as the unfortunate who patronize it, was shown over the first week-end, when 86 transients were provided for, not including 20 men who were sheltered in the City jail on Saturday night and 19 on Sunday night. The Army's shelter house has also been a relief to the police station, for no more meals are given by the police, all applicants now being sent to the Salvation Army. Needs of Relief Station Ensign L. L. Montgomery, who is in charge of the Army's station, thinks that the station will be able to meet about every demand made upon it—provided the public joins in the effort to provide for the needy wayfarers. The relief station occupies large quarters on the ground floor. One portion is taken up by a dormitory, which has capacity for two or the three times as many cots as it now contains. In one corner of the dormitory is a shower bath. And every man who applies for help is as much in need of a bath as he is for food and a place to sleep. Another large room is taken up by long tables, serving as a dining room, and near at hand is a kitchen where the cooking is done. More Mattresses Needed At present the dormitory contains only enough beds for 16 men. More cots and many more mattresses are needed. In fact, the need for mattresses is greater than the need for beds and cots and the people of Anaheim are asked by Mr. Montgomery to notify him if they have any old mattresses that can be spared. Business men down town and over the city, as well as women in the homes, have been contributing food or money with which to keep the Salvation Army's kettle boiling. Christmas Seal Campaign Opens The annual Christmas Seal campaign opened in Anaheim last Friday, under the leadership of the Rev. D. Howard Dow, and is to continue until Christmas. The local committee assisting Dr. Dow includes Mrs. Henry Adams, Mrs. R. L. Coohs, Miss E. Kate Rea, Mrs. Clyde Cromer, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Balch, Charles Pearson, Oscar Yeyling, William A. Dolan, the Rev. and Mrs. Thomas H. Walker, A. Curtis Case and Mrs. G. D. Griffith. The campaign in Anaheim is a part of the Orange County effort that is sponsored by the Tuberculosis and Health association. The Anaheim campaign is to be conducted chiefly by firefighters. Water Main Now Being Laid and Conduits Will Be Placed Later Since the Salvation Army has assumed the task of providing for litterants who drift into the city seeking food and shelter, the city officials are giving attention to providing work for the jobless men who live in Anaheim. Less than 200 men have reported to the Chamber of Commerce that they are in need of employment, and city officials are endeavoring to help them by providing day labor for as many as possible. Working on Water Main One project now under way is the laying of water mains at which 20 men are employed. Another which is to be started next week is an expansive program of curb construction. All of the street curb turns which have been damaged by heat or rough usage by trucks and autos are to be replaced. Considerable other work in the way of repairs will also be carried on. But more important than any of these projects, and one which will give employment to many more men will be burying conduits for wires underground, and the city officials estimate that the work will cost $20,000. Conduits for Power Lines The conduits will carry certain electric power lines to the business district, and their removal from sight will not only prevent future interference with trees, but will enhance the appearance of the streets. Wires through conduits will also eliminate any danger of service interruptions. It is said that of the $20,000 the project will cost at least $15,000 of it will be for labor, the remaining $5,000 to go for materials. The lines will be buried to a depth of two feet in which tubes will be placed to carry the wires, and around the tubes cement will be poured. All applications for work on city projects will be passed upon by Mayor Miller and a special committee of citizens. Postoffice Men to Help Santa Employees of the Anaheim postoffice are to gather around a dinner table with Postmaster J. H. Whitaker before long to discuss plans for helping Santa Claus in the movement of Christmas gifts during the approaching holiday season. There are 28 of the employees. In the meantime, the Postmaster has been doing some figuring on the financial affairs of the local postoffice, and finds that in November totals for last three years there has been a variance of only about $20. Receipts for the month just closed totalled $3833.35 while for the same period in 1930 they were $3853.46 and $3853.46 respectively.

The amount would have been considerably smaller but for $105 which as the campaign closed came from the teachers of Anaheim grammar schools and the Young Ladies' Institute. SANTA FE TRAIN SERVICE The Santa Fe made changes in its passenger train service last Sunday to the advantage of Anaheim. The fast train which has been whizzing by Charles Walker's local station at 2:39 p.m., now makes a stop here and arrives in San Diego at 5:15 p.m. The Santa Fe also announced that the Chief, its 56-1-2 hour train from Los Angeles, to Chicago, will leave the western terminal at 10:30 p.m. instead of 8:45 formerly. This will bring the Chief into Chicago at 9 a.m. instead of 8:40, decreasing the time of transit by an hour and 55 minutes. A through sleeper on this train to Chicago will be available out of Anaheim at 9:26 p.m. daily. Building Permits Show Shrinkage The sound of the builders' hammer has not been heard in Anaheim as much so far this year as last, figures compiled by the City Building Inspector Nyboe show.

E. W Re The Agricultu Orange Advisor assistant Eastman cluded in crop dep The farr nual rep at the L Election Law’s New ‘Set Up’ Explained All Voters Must Re-Register Before Voting, Says County Clerk Backs There is to be a new “set up” in municipal elections on April 11, next year, because of enactments at the last session of the legislature. The new order affects all cities of the sixth class, which include all in Orange county with the exception of Santa Ana. All Voters Must Re-Register County Clerk J. M. Backs has given his interpretation of the new law which not only covers municipal elections but also the presidential primary which will hold on May 3, next year. One of the chief requirements of the new law is that all voters must re-register after January 1, next year. For elections within the ensuing blennium, and voters casting ballots at the city sections April 11 must be registered by March 2, when registration closes. Registration for the presidential primaryoses March 24. Absent Voter Ballots City clerks are required to give notice of municipal elections between February 11 and March 22. February 11 is the first day for circulating, signing and filing nomination petitions, which must be filed by noon, March 22. Absent voter ballots for the city elections, the first time such ballots have figured in city elections, may be applied for between March 12 and April 6. Last Day for Naturalization February 3 is the last day for naturalization of voters participating in the May primary. February 18 is the last Local Chapter of Walton League Anaheim is to have a chapter of the Izaak Walton League. That was assured last night, when a dozen men signed the charter roll at an organization meeting held in the American Legion rooms in the city hall. Prior to the meeting, however, five other persons had signed the application for a charter, thus giving a total of seventeen to start off the organization meeting here. The charter list will be held open until the first of the year, so it is believed when the formal organization takes place, with the election of officers, there will be at least twice that number included in the membership. Plans for a local chapter were made by the Rev. Dr. Ralph W. Lee, of the White Temple Methodist church, J. E. Rymer and Marion Henry. About fifty persons attended the meeting last night. George Gobar, of Fullerton, showed three interesting reels of moving pictures of wild life, and especially the propagation of ring-necked pheasants at a state farm at Colton. These films were sent out by the State Fish and Game Commission. ELKS MEMORIAL SERVICE The Anaheim lodge of Elks will hold its annual memorial service on Wednesday, Dec. 9, departing from the usual Sunday service that more members may be present. The program is being arranged by Arthur Bradley. The usual ritual service will be followed, and a special program of music will be given. Commission Makes Plans for Zones Proposed Ordinance is Now Being Considered by City Attorney Holden City Attorney George Holden has under consideration the recommendations of the City Planning Commission and, if the proposed zoning ordinance meets with the City Attorney's approval as to its legal phases, it will then be submitted to the City Trustees for their consideration. Looking to City’s Future The Planning Commission in drafting the zoning ordinance has in view the future growth of Anaheim, and it will now take up a traffic plan for the area on West street and West Anaheim road, Lincoln avenue and North street, with a view to laying out roads in some regular plan which in years to come will facilitate the movement of motor traffic. This plan is expected to prove of value in the event that when subdivisions are made of considerable acreage it will be known in advance where roadways would be located. The whole idea of the Planning Commission is included in what is known as the “Master Plan,” to which the commission is giving much consideration, all in the direction of Anaheim becoming a much larger city than it is at present. Complaint About Trees When it meets again the commission will give consideration to the area of the city east of Los Angeles street and north of Center street, which is to be considered in connection with the master plan. The commission has received a letter Last Day for Naturalization February 3 is the last day for naturalization of voters participating in the day primary. February 18 is the last day for qualifying a political party not already qualified, by filling a petition with the secretary of state.

Make a habit of reading the classified columns of the Anaheim Gazette—every week. Complaint About Trees When it meets again the commission will give consideration to the area of the city east of Los Angeles street and north of Center street, which is to be considered in connection with the master plan. The commission has received a letter complaining that many of the parkway trees are dead and others are afflicted with disease. The letter suggested that property owners plant their own trees unless the city will take care of them. The complaint has been referred to the city manager. Charles Pearson, secretary of the commission, has been appointed to represent the local commission on a state-wide committee which is arranging for a national conference on city planning in Los Angeles next year. DEATH OF JOHN S. BAKER John S. Baker, widely known over the Southland, was buried Saturday, his death occurring on Wednesday of last week after an illness of several weeks. He was 76 years of age and was born on the old Rudidoux ranch at Riverside, where his parents halted in their treck across the plains to California. Mr. Baker's memory went back to bull fights which he often witnessed at Mission San Luis Reyes. He rode over much of the Southland on little Mexican horses, often visiting the great ranch homes. Among his friends were Governor Pico, Governor Gage, the Bixby, the Lugos, and many other well-known pioneer families. He is survived by Mrs. Baker; Everett Baker, a son, of Los Angeles; three daughters, Mrs. Lotus H. Loudin of Anaheim, Mrs. Walter Mundt of Whittier, Mrs. Earl Myer of Norwalk.

Wahlberg and his assistants, W. M. Cory and Eric E. Eastman, reveals a busy year just concluded in cooperation with the various crop departments of the Farm Bureau. The farm advisor's staff makes an annual report to its Berkeley headquarters at the University of California and to the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Washington, D.C. An Educational Program The function of the extension service in Orange county, as in the other 40 agricultural counties of California, is to make available an educational program of cultural and economic information based on practical and scientific facts. The statistical part of the report reveals that during the 12 months sending December 1, 1931, which is the end of the fiscal year for the extension service, the farm advisor's staff participated in 145 demonstrations, 16 farm tours, 7 extension institutes, 50 farm center meetings, and 126 committee and department meetings, embracing agricultural production, economics and leadership. 1634 Farm Calls The farm advisors made 1634 farm calls at the request of growers; 4624 people called at the office for agricultural information; 3960 telephone calls were received for agricultural information; and 2650 letters were written and 2500 agricultural bulletins were distributed. A few of the activities described in the report are the summaries of the eight crop production cost studies, including oranges, lemons, avocados walnuts, poultry, honey, lima beans and rabbits. Under citrus, walnuts and subtropical fruits, the department engaged in an active educational program covering irrigation, fertilization, orchard protection, pest and disease control. The 4-H Junior Clubs In field crops, the staff has assisted the sugar beet, pepper, truck crop, lima bean and grain industries in Orange county. In livestock the report covers activities in dairying, poultry, rabbit raising and beekeeping. Forestry and water conservation came in for an important share of the report. The 4-H Junior Agricultural clubs have shown a substantial increase over the year preceding. There are 412 members in this department, which trains and promises to furnish well informed and efficient rural leadership for the future. The report disclosed a most satisfactory growth and reception of the department's work in Orange county, this being the 14th annual report. This staff is cooperating with the largest rural organization in Orange county, which is the Farm Bureau. It is the second harvest moon rising on the whole scene. Albert Crandall was song leader and Miss Harriet Abrams of Costa Mesa, was pianist. Dr. R. W. Lee gave the invocation and an address of welcome was given by Mrs. Dora Hermanza president of the Anaheim chapter. The coastmaster was Frank Webber of Los Angeles, president of the Southern California League. Entertainment Features Violin numbers were given by Ray McCall of Orange, Leland Green of Placentia gave two mirambaphone numbers and two readings were by Charlotte Eader of Placentia. The benediction was given by the Rev. John Engle of Huntington Beach. Dr. Cook spoke on "Youth and Tomorrow," and said "Youth will not be able to ride upon the vehicle of its forefathers as in the past and the final realities of life, as never before, must be in terms of spiritual entities, for the spiritual realities are more real than the physical and the material." Youth to Find God Dr. Cook said that the material world must ever be subordinated to the spiritual and that each individual must find itself and for himself. "It is youth's place to find God as it is God's desire to find youth," he continued with the plea to young people, "don't be afraid of living your own individual lives. "If we will be worthy of tomorrow we must meet circumstances as they are, in the spirit of Jesus. Youth must ever interpret life from the standpoint of service." Service is the Motif Dr. Cook declared that service must be the motif of existence and that for this reason youth must face all of the economic problems in the light of Christianity, and that it must be youth that abolished war.
