Water Level Comes Up as Season’s Total Rainfall Reaches 10.3 Inches Jupiter Pluvius, who has been unusually friendly this year, came to the rescue of Orange county citrus growers Sunday and Monday, leaving 1.5 inches of rainfall in his wake, thus thwarting Jack Frost’s determined attack Tuesday night upon oranges and lemons of this district. When clouds began clearing away Tuesday, the cold wind from the mountains foretold cold nights. As the night wore on, the mercury went down, until at 7 a.m. Wednesday the low of 25 3-4 was recorded, which was only 1-4 above the season's low established several weeks ago. Wednesday night the thermometer went down to 42. But the unusual amount of moisture on the ground, in the air and on the plants acted as a buffer, and Jack Frost’s efforts went for next to naught, according to reports from citrus associations. Very little damage as result was recorded. Water Level Rises Clouds hovered over Southern California Saturday evening and by Sunday the entire area was alleyged. Again Monday rain fell in torrents, clearing occasionally to let Old Sol smile comfortingly through the clouds, and then darkening up for another downpour. By Tuesday morning the total storm fall had reached 1.5 inches, bringing the season’s total to 10.3 inches, exceeding the total reached in May last year. Indicating the favorable effect of the wet season, water level in Anaheim’s municipal wells rose 15 inches during the month of January with probability of still faster rising this month and next when the full effect of the heavy rainfalls begins to be recorded in the basin. On February 1 the wells recorded water at 125 feet three inches. Water has been flowing down the Santa Ann river for about two months, and the rise in January is the first indication that the water levels were receiving material effect. The rise generally doesn’t occur on a decided scale un- Avocado Growers to Leave Early Friday The educational tour of orchards for Orange county avocado growers has attracted considerable interest in the county, according to F. D. Haim, chairman of the avocado department, Orange county farm bureau. Indications point to at least 75 avocado growers participating in the caravan to northern San Diego county groves under the direction of Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahberg, Friday, February 5. Orchards will be visited in Carlsbad Vista, Escondido, Santa Fe Rancho and Encinitas districts to study methods of pest control, irrigation, fertilization and top-working. San Diego county has the largest avocado acreage in California, and her percentage of new plantings is largest. The Orange county group will have an opportunity on this trip to see a representative cross section of the San Diego industry. The caravan of automobiles will assemble at the San Juan Capitlano high school on the state highway Friday morning and leave promptly at $:39 a.m. for Oceanside, where the San Delgo committee will be met.

Water has been flowing down the Santa Anu river for about two months, and the rise in January is the first indication that the water levels were receiving material effect. The rise generally doesn't occur on a decided scale until February, so the heavy rainfall, city officials believe, will make an even greater rise in the next few months.

But other proposed legislation received favorable action when the directors endorsed a bill now in the house of representatives recommending that the secretary of the treasury employ architects and engineers, wherever circumstances warrant, within the section of the country where the building is to be created. Custom dictates that only architects in Washington are given an opportunity to draw pans for federal buildings. Walnut Growers To Meet Feb. 13 Annual Institute Will be Held in CY Program is Announced The annual institute for walnut growers Southern California has been set for Saturday, February 13, at the Chino high school, according to announcement by Harold E. Wahiberg, farm administrator Orange county. Sessions will begin at 9:59 a.m. The program includes addresses by prominent officials in the walnut industry and will cover timely subjects confronting the walnut grower. A.J. McPadden, Santa Ana is chairman of the inter-county walnut growers department of the farm bureau, under whose auspices the meeting is held, in cooperation with the agricultural extension service of the University.

Two Persons Per Minute Entered State by Automobile During the Year of 1931 A thundering herd of tourists, representing a veritable trail of gold, swarmed into California via every available highway during 1931, shattering all existing records, and making the tourist business one of the state's major industries. A total of 872,214 California-bound tourits checked in at the state's 28 border quarantine stations situated in 15 counties, during 1931, according to Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture. This is an increase of 63,338 tourists over the 1930 crop which totaled 808,-876 or an average net gain of 1200 tourists per week. An average of slightly less than two persons entered the state per minute via automobile during the entire calendar year of 1931, although the average was 2.9 persons per minute during the six month peak summer season ending October 30, last, according to Director Moulton. Representing virtually every state and foreign nation, the 1931 tourist crop, swarmed across the state's borders at the rate of approximately 16,800 weekly, in comparison with a weekly average of 15,500 during 1930. This is an average of 2500 tourists every 14-hours or more than 100 every 60-minutes. "The volume of tourist travel has been exceedingly gratifying," said Director Moulton, "and the weekly increase far beyond expectations. Translated into dollars, the value of the tourist travel must represent many millions of dollars to California business, even on a conservative basis. It is a veritable trail of gold streaming into the state. While the bulk of the tourists were destined for Los Angeles, San Francisco or Alameda county, it would appear obvious that every section of the state benefited economically by this influx, particularly those 15 sparsely settled areas." Results of Bus Inspection Told School Children Are Protected Under New Standard Regulations If traffic officers in Orange county, with the help of every constituted agency for preventing traffic accidents, continues to have their way, school children of this county will ride to school and back on vehicles as safe as possible. This is the edict of Captain Henry Meehan of the Orange unit of the California highway patrol, who spoke before various adult education classes recently. In talks Captain Meehan outlined measures taken to provide safety, and stated that 136 people are injured or killed every day in California motor mishaps. Speed, he blamed for most of the accidents. Patrolman Peterkin, ordered to inspect 105 school buses in Orange county, reported the following results: Forty-five had brakes which failed to pass the tests when the vehicles were empty. Twenty-eight had dangerous tires which were ordered replaced. Thirty-seven did not have the required school bus signs. Thirty-three had no fire extinguishers. Twelve had no windshield wipers. Fifteen tail lights were not working. Forty stop lights did not work. Seventy-four did not have the required clearance lights. Fifty-one had headlights not in ad- High School Girl Severely Burned Miss Eva Lorene Evans’ Dress Catches Fire From Open Gas Heater Eva Lorene Evans, 15-year-old high school student who suffered second and third degree burns about her body and lower limbs when her dress caught fire from an open gas flame at her home, 310 North Sabine street.

Home to recover from a sore throat, the young girl stood in front of an open heater when her dress limited. She rushed, screaming, out-of-doors where she rolled in the sand. The cold breeze whipped the flames about her and her mother tore the girl’s clothes off, but the fire had acted so quickly that the girl suffered severe burns which left her in a serious condition.
