Reid ECONOMIC MARSHES FIRST DOLLAR Anaheim Co-op’s Gross is $703,559 350 Grower Members and Guests Attend Turkey Dinner Tuesday at St. Boniface Hall Outlining a year which in many ways compared with 1929, H. W. Pierce, manager of the Anaheim Cooperative Orange association, Tuesday gave his annual report to the growers of the local M. O. D. affiliation. The meeting was held in St. Boniface hall, with places for 350 members and guests at a turkey dinner at noon. Several short talks were made by officials of the Mutual Orange Distribution from the Redlands headquarters and the Los Angeles supply department.

Early in the season, therefore, we were very reluctant to take in more fruit, CUPID’S ARDOR IS REDUCED TO MATHEMATICS Dan Cupid’s ardor cools just 11.83 percent in three days. Just how much it cools after that is an open question, but the period between filing of intention to wed and completion of the “I do” ceremony, has been brought down to a matter of cold mathematics. County Clerk J. M. Backs’ files show that 1884 couples who had matrimony in mind when they filed intentions to wed since the three-day marriage law went into effect in 1927, didn’t have the job finished. Of course, out of the 17,804 who filed, 15,920 faced the preacher.

A step on the starter and the machine was ready for its delayed trip to Anaheim. The guide who directed the San Bernardino county's tractor party to the "lost" Ford on the frantic appeal of Mrs. Freda and the local company, recognized a certain parking tree and prevented the tractor from passing directly over the car.

The educational trip to Hoover dam, sponsored by the agricultural extension service and the farm bureau in Orange county, has been definitely set for February 18, 19 and 20. The purpose of the trip is to afford interested farmers and other taxpayers an opportunity to see this tremendous project now under construction, first hand.

Wahlberg. The various farm centers have been instructed to fill their cars so as to reduce the number of machines and reduce the cost of transportation which may be prorated among the number in each car.

The second day will be devoted to inspection trips at Hoover dam and along the Colorado river, under competent guidance of engineers on the job. Col. S. H. Finley has negotiated with the federal engineers and Metropolitan Water district engineers to direct the Orange county group over the entire works.

ANAHEIM RELIEF PLAN RECEIVES ACID TEST AS 25 MEN EMPLOYED Effect of Trial Watched Closely by Score of Cities; 100 Children Benefit Through Merchant-Discount Plan of Certificates Issued in Lieu of Pay Anaheim's relief plan, closely watched by scores of cities in Southern California, Tuesday was launched on the acid test of working to the advantage of otherwise 25 unemployed men, stimulating business so that the merchant who foots the bill will show a better profit through greater volume. Tuesday evening many of the certificates were exchanged for groceries and meats; Wednesday night more were reported by merchants. Ray E. Smith, member of the board of control appointed by Mayor L. E. Miller, started the 25 men to removing unsightly rubbish and weeds along the old river bed on North Palm street. Other work will be planned so that it will accomplish something either to beautify the city or of use to it, without affecting in any way employment through regular channels. Ross Hart is in charge of headquarters maintained in County Sanitary Inspector Smith's office above the police station. Care for 100 Children Chairman J. C. Elliott, of the board of control and originator of the plan, pointed out as the 25 men started to work Tuesday, that this group was responsible for the care of more than 100 children.

Elliott, of the board of control and originator of the plan, pointed out as the 25 men started to work Tuesday, that this group was responsible for the care of more than 100 children. The men will receive certificates of $1 value each in pay for their labor at 40 cents the hour. They will exchange these certificates for full face value to any participating merchant or professional man, who in turn will place a four-percent discount stamp on it and then will use it for further exchange within the participating group. This will be followed for 25 times, thus making the value of the certificate paid in discounts. The last man receiving it will be given cash in full by Finance Chairman Ross Phegley at the Anaheim First National Bank. Cash In Bank Every certificate issued has to its credit a full dollar in the bank, so that if certain circumstances warrant, the certificates can be returned to the relief board and its full value paid to (Continued on Page Three) 4-H Clubs Leave on Mid-winter Tour Soon The Junior or 4-H Agricultural clubs of Orange county will conduct their midwinter 4-H tour to Big Pines Recreational camp on Saturday, January 23, according to Eric E. Eastman assistant farm advisor. Permission to use the facilities of the camp, which belongs to Los Angeles county, has been extended by the manager F. E. Wadsworth, and Chief Ranger Buford Wright. The Orange County 4-H clubs held their summer camp at Big Pines three years ago, and the opportunity to revisit the camp in winter and to use the facilities provided for winter sports will therefore be an interesting experience for the young folks from the land of oranges. The educational part of the tour will be the inspection of the citrus by products at Corona, where the processes involved in the manufacture of food and commercial products from surplus oranges will be studied under the direction of the personnel at the by-products plant. Cornelius Funeral Held on Saturday Funeral services for Oscar Cornelius Old-timers opened their eyes in amazement last Friday morning when they glanced out of their front-covered windows and saw half a dozen real honest-to-goodness Mid-Western clush—blanketing their Narda. Looking toward the hills, they saw the snow-clad regions around Brea Pueblo and Yorba Linda and wondered if the world had gone temporarily toopsy-turvy, for this is the first snow in the memory of many residents who have been here for more than a score of years. In fact, some pioneers claim it the first snow since the city was settled; others say there were traces of snow in 1922. Whether the snow had anything to do with it or not, local residents dunned their warmest clothing for the past week. Only Tuesday and Wednesday were reasonably warm in comparison to the usual weather, while the thermometer went down to 29 degrees at 7 a.m. Thursday morning to reach the coldest this week. A week ago the mercury settled to 25½ degrees, the lowest recorded here this year and one of the lowest marks on record for 20 years. Crop Damage Light While some damage to crops in Orange county is certain to develop, it will not be extensive. If present indications can be counted on. Some of the trees and fruit in Brae were post-bitten, and some groves in Placentia, Pullelton and Anaheim suffered slight losses, but not extensive damage has been noted. The snow added 48 of an inch of rainfall to the years total, which now stands at 8:80 inches, according to figures kept by the Anaheim Union Water company. Another phenomenon of nature Wednesday, when a trace of rain fell while Old Sol was out doing his full duty, brought exclamations of wonder but no appreciable addition to the rainfall total.

L'Esperance, of Los Angeles, Advertising club addressed the Anaheim Merchants and Manufacturers' association Monday evening at the Elks clubhouse. He stated that formerly banks loaned on character. Now they loan on collateral. It is within the power of the service clubs, he stated, to correct current evils to large extent. President Harry Horn called upon Secretary George W. Reid, who urged merchants to consider the 75th anniversary of the founding of this city with a celebration, probably in August. Reginald Taylor spoke on the need of advertising in business.

Itinerants Form Regular Itinerary Itinerants feel and bedded at the Salvation Army head parade on South Los Angeles street often have a regular itinerary. In fact, quite a few of them like Anaheim, so pay a visit to the local Army every few weeks. They don't mind the two hours' work required for two meals and a good bed—the latter is what really draws them—so they manage somehow to arrive at some city where they can stay over the weekend. Saturday through Sunday and then back into San Francisco two hours for the $280 clock meal that evening. An average of 25 itinerants have been fed and bedded since the beginning of the new year. B. J. L. Mainramery stated: Of course, many of these are here for our evening, never turning unless through necessity. But an ever-increasing number are forming a regular schedule, fixing it up for two weeks to a month in advance and knowing just what time they'll have to get their next meal. Some itinerants stop-over in Fullerton where they often don't work, and then go on to San Antonio for lunch; leaving after that meal for another death, where no labor is required. Others do staying only at the "better" places, and don't mind chopping wood, the Salvation Army leader points out. Mancys and Tuesdays are the heaviest days while at the "no-work" institutions Sundays usually are the biggest.
