Santa Ana Basin Boundaries Set As Tentative Sewage Reclamation Area Committee Threshes Out Problems Incident to Project; Questions of Location of Treatment Plant, Inclusion of Cities Getting Water From Area, Disposal of Reclaimed Water Discussed On motion of Anaheim's J. W. Price, the sewage reclamation committee late last week adopted as tentative boundaries the known area within the Santa Ana basin, thus paving the way for Chairman D. D. Waynick's finance committee to begin work on the financial set-up preliminary to submission of the whole sewage reclamation project to a vote of residents of proposed district. Several immediate problems to be settled before work of the engineer's committee can proceed further were discussed. They were: 1. Shall the treatment plant be located as suggested by Sanitary Engineer R. F. Goudey at Olive, or should it be nearer the north boundaries of Santa Ana, from where 45 percent of the sewage will be secured. Because of pumping problems, the engineers favored location near Santa Ana. 2. Inclusion-of Newport and Costa Mesa in the district, but that New port sewage be excluded from treatment because of salt contamination. These cities draw water from the Santa Ana basin. 3. Yorba Linda, if subsequent developments prove present indications that it is not within the Santa Ana basin proper, shall be left out; but if included, that Peralta district also be included because it gets water from the same district as Yorba Linda. 4. Sewage reclamation to be the paramount aim; selling of water secondary. 5. That water so conserved preferably shall be used for irrigation purposes, rather than poured back into the basin, from which only a portion could be secured again. Chairman Walter Humphreys of Fullerton presented the engineering committee's report, outlining in detail the COOLIDGE I heard the latest Calvin Coolidge anecdote the other night from a gentleman who had recently visited the ex-President at Northampton. "Everywhere I go I find an overwhelming desire to have you back in the White House, Mr. Coolidge," my informant said to him. "You really ought to run for President again." Mr. Coolidge ehook his head, with a faint smile. "No," he said. "It won't do. The basis of that idea is all wrong. They all want to get rich again." Which confirms my long held belief that Calvin Coolidge has about as sound common sense and as keen an understanding of popular psychology as any living American. HOOVER I think there has been a noticeable change in the public attitude toward Davies Elected Beekeeper Aide Nectar Marketers Study Bee Situation and Elect Officers at Meeting By W. M. CORY Assistant Farm Advisor Beekeepers, to the number 76, turned out for their annual spring meeting Saturday, January 23. Much interest was shown in the program which had been prepared. Dr. J. E. Ecker agriculturist of the University of California spoke on "Adult Bee Diseases" and such control measures as were known. H. M. Krebs, state supervisor of apiary inspection, outlined the present honey situation and outlook with commendations of the National Honey Institute. The work of this Institute is to inform the public of wave in which honey can be used and its nutritive value in the diet. An interesting motion picture on "Some Apiary Management Problems" was presented by Roy K. Bishop, Orange county apiary inspector. Other speakers included Henry Perkins, Los Angeles county inspector, and Chas W. Grimm, Kern county inspector. The meeting concluded with election of officers for the ensuing year, with C. E. Lush of Orange elected president and director to the board of directors of the Orange county farm bureau; G. S. Davies of Anaheim elected vice-president; and Leroy Bell, Orange, secretary for the coming year. HOVER I think there has been a noticeable change in the public attitude toward Mr. Hoover in the past month. At least I hear less abuse of the President and more expressions of sympathy. People are realizing that he has been unfairly blamed for conditions for which he was not responsible, and now that he has presented a sound and complete rehabilitation program to Congress, and Congress has started off by accepting it. I hear less talk about his supposed inaction in the face of a serious crisis. I have not seen the President for several months, but friends who have talked with him lately say that he acts and talks like a man who had found the answers to problems that had been baffling him. Washington's favorite indoor sport is lying about the President, who oversee the President may happen to be. Mr. Hoover has suffered from more than his share of misrepresentation, but he has acquired the philosophical attitude of most of his predecessors, who learned not to let pin pricks worry them. UNEMPLOYMENT The town of Peekskill, New York, as a part of its plan to raise funds for the relief of the unemployed, put tin boxes at every eating place in town and asked everybody to drop one cent in the box before each meal. The surprising result is a fund which runs to $1500 a week. More important than raising money for the unemployed, it seems to me, is making sure that this money does not go to people who could get jobs, but night in a hotel elevator I heard two who will not take them. The other men talking. “There were forty-two jobs at $6 a day,” said one of them. “The unemployment bureau sent fifty men and thirty-six of them refused to work because they would get their hands dirty.” They said they could get money from the unemployment fund to live on and they would rather do that than do “dirty” work. There is no doubt in my mind that in the cities at least, a large part of the money which kind-hearted people have contributed to help unemployed is being spent to keep in idleness men who could easily find work if they were not what Down-Easters call “choosy.” DOCTORS City action on allposed underground system in favor of eucation ditches will lay afternoon pendula details in regard to meetings were scheduled officials, representainl Union Water cof control of the Anu definitely establish in the proposed construc complished with man labor for needy heads community, and thaof constructive work.

Fastest Girl Swimmer Eleanor Holm, American champion, added another world's record by negotiating 150-yards, backstroke style, in 1:53%, lowering the former mark by two and one-fifth second. The new record was made in the tank at the West Side Athletic club in New York City. DOCTORS Doctors, like everybody else, are not finding it easy to meet their obligations or collect their bills these days. Too many people think that the doctor can wait until everybody else has been paid. The American Medical Association has been making a survey of doctors' incomes and reports that it takes altogether about ten years in college and hospital work and getting a practice established before the average doctor begins to earn enough to live on. The next ten years, or a large part of it, his surplus has to go to pay for the cost of his medical training. Very few doctors get the point of independence in less than twenty years after starting their medical studies. Every doctor has to do, and does do, a certain amount of charity work. Those who can afford to pay have less excuse for postponing their doctors' bills than deferring payment of almost any other debts. State Offers Prizes to Scouts, Camp Girls Cash prizes of $185 will be awarded to Boy Scouts, Woodcraft Ranger, Camp Fire Girls and Girl Scouts, for exhibits at the California state fair in Sacramento September 3 to 10. The premium offerings in the educational department, announced today, include 61 classifications for the handiwork of the Scouts, Rangers and Camp Fire Girls. Trophies will be awarded, in addition, to the camp or council making the best exhibit. Historic Painting of Washington Restored to View The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has yielded to demands that it restore the painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware", to its walls. Recently the trustees decided the painting was not a real work of art and ordered it to be stored in the basement. The painting was made by Emanuel Leutze, a German artist of the American school, in 1851. City Approves Plan to Cover Irrigation Ditches, Using Relief Certificates, Cash In The News THIS WEEK Lt. E. E. Fearn Gets Noted Banker at Play City Approves Plan to Cover Irrigation Ditches, Using Relief Certificates, Cash City action on abandoning the hard-pressed underground conduit electrical system in favor of covering an open irrigation ditches was held up Wednesday afternoon pending work out of details in regard to the project. Further meetings were scheduled between city officials, representatives of the Anaheim Union Water company, and board of control of the Anaheim relief plan to definitely establish in just what manner the proposed construction can be accomplished with maximum amount of labor for needy heads of families in the community, and the greatest amount of constructive work for the city. Under present arrangements, the water company furnishes the material for such covered irrigation ditches—about half the total cost. The plan advanced now is for the city to authorize the work, which must be done sometime in the future, agreeing to pay half the labor costs in cash, and issuing relief certificates for the other half. The certificates would amount to about one-fourth the total amount of the work to be done, the city would furnish the men half their wages of $8.20 for eight hours work, in cash; and the water company would not gain or lose by the transaction. In fact, the company has the materials ready, and expressed willingness to carry out its share of the work. Conduit Bids Rejected If finally approved by the council, the test for the plan will be laying underground canals along East street from Center South and on Sycanore from Palm to West. If work on this project should prove successful, further constructive measures might be adopted, it was indicated by those sponsoring the plan. In anticipation of this project, the county commissioner all bids for conduit improvements for the electrical improvement, pending further study. Cost of the job would be between $75,000 and $100,000. City Manager John C. Price stated: In reference to the Anaheim relief plan, which has been laid out certificates for two five-day weekdays chairman Joe Elliott originator, stated that the men temporarily were laid off until such time as the certificates finally are cashed and more money available, or until the city council puts them on work on the proposed irrigation project. Lt. E. E. Fearn Gets Promotion Certificate First Lieutenant E. E. Fearn, 59th signal battalion, ninth corps area (regular army inactive), received notice this week that he had received his certificate of capacity for promotion to captaincy. Lt. Fearn, resident of South Philadelphia street and owner and manager of the Fearn Radio-Electric store at 273 East Center street, has been an instructor at the last two annual camps of the signal corps, held each summer at Del Monte. Two years ago he was elevated from second to first lieutenancy. He has been interested in the signal corps work for a number of years. The certificate of capacity for promotion to captaincy indicates that Lt. Fearn will receive his promotion as soon as he has served the required length of time as first lieutenant. S. C.

Students Francis Bushard, Anaheim student body president of the University of Southern California, headed the student reception committee to welcome incoming freshmen to S. C. With a new freshman class entering in the spring semester which opened February 3 at the University of Southern California, a number of innovations, new staff members, and new courses are announced by President R.
