The total She Wanted Romance—and found Love MAN MADE THE TOWN By Ruby Ayres THE entertaining story of a girl who mistook a diesel romance for a golden love—and found out her mistake. When lovely Diana Gladwyn had to desert the whirl of the town season for a rest in the country, she had what they called a nervous breakdown. It was really a heartache—over a fascinating man she couldn't have. At least, not on her own terms. Dr. Rathbone, the eminent young physician who attended her, provided a remedy for her troubles. But new troubles were to arise. What of the strange red-haired woman who played so mysterious a role in the doctor's life? The revelation of the doctor's secret and the effecting of Diana's final cure bring the story to an exciting finale. Read this delightful love-story starting soon in this paper.

Waynick, Association Laboratory chieftain, indicate that due to adverse weather conditions valencias showed the least growth of any January since measurements began in 1925. From 23 representative fields came these averages: 2,467 for outside, and 2,409 for inside fruit, which would be about 261 and 277, respectively, to the packed box. At this time last year 290 fruit would have filled a packed box. Valencias probably will grow some before picking time.

Under agreement that the bank shall open in the near future. First meeting for depositors in the Cypress and Buena Park branches was held Saturday evening at Buena Park. Second meeting was held in Ananeim Monday, and the third in El Monte Tuesday night. In each case, H. A. Hawley, bank official, stated, the depositors were quite willing to sign up: If the bank remained closed four years might be required to complete liquidation. Stockholders have met, and agreed to increase the capital stock from $30,000 to $175,000, and possibly more. Hawley stated that the agreement would call for these further provisions; three-fourths of the savings accounts would be in straight savings, which could not be withdrawn for six months, and one-fourth in savings certificates, which could not be withdrawn for eight months. Possibility that the bank might open immediately was seen by local depositers, although the plan for re-opening Here’s a Glimpse of Washington’s Human Side as Real Estate Dealer Father of our Country Fell in Love at First Sight of Widow Custis; Joined Masons and Became Master; Held High Church Chair and Loved Sports, Especially Fox Hunting By CALEB JOHNSON I spent some time, not along ago, looking up a lot of facts about George Washington which are not set down in all the schoolbooks. I got a new impression of the Father of His Country after visiting Mount Vernon, where he lived from his youth until his death, and the city of Alexandria, where he was engaged in business for fifteen years. Hoover Appoints Local Postmaster Postmaster J. H. Whitaker, notified Monday that President Hoover had reappointed him, elatedly went about his job of keeping Uncle Sam’s postal department in this city functioning smoothly.

Hawley stated that the agreement would call for these further provisions; three-fourths of the savings accounts would be in straight savings, which could not be withdrawn for six months, and one-fourth in savings certificates, which could not be withdrawn for eight months.

Horton Trial Is Set For March 8 William C. Horton Monday went before Presiding Judge James L. Allen at Santa Ana and pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges filed against him as a result of the death of Oscar Cornelius in a first fight just west of the Anahiltim city limits on January 11. Judge Allen immediately set March 8 as date for a jury trial. Preliminary hearing testimony brought out in Justice Charles Kuchel’s court and at the coroner’s jury indicated “bad blood” had existed between Horton and Cornelius for several years, which finally led to the fatal fight near a packing house on Lincoln avenue, which was seen by several persons. “Hello Girls” Entertain Rotary Club Monday Araheim’s Rotarians, after enjoying a “hello girls” chorus at their meeting Monday noon in the Elks clubhouse, decided to take up golf and appointed E. C. Kendrick, O. W. Hoying and Charles Grim on a committee to make arrangements to hold the first annual contest on the perpetual trophy presented by H. E. W. Barnes.

Every State and City to Participate in 9-Month Washington Bicentennial Here are pertinent facts in the celebration of the 200 anniversary of the birth of George Washington: 1—It is sponsored by the United States government: Congress created the United States George Washington bicentennial commission and the President of the United States is its chairman. 2—It will not be a world’s fair or exposition, and it will not be held in any one place. 3—It will be a nation-wide, even a world-wide series of celebrations in which every state, city and town—every organization and institution every home and individual—in this country, together with Americans and others in many foreign countries, will participate. Every community is expected to plan and carry out its own program of events, in cooperation with the United States commission and the state commissions. 4—It will last from Washington’s birthday, February 22, 1932, to Thanksgiving day, November 24, 1932, with special local and national celebrations everywhere on all holidays, anniversaries, or other days which can be connected with the life of George Washington. 5—While the ceremonies on February 22 should be especially elaborate and impressive, as marking the actual two hundredth anniversary of George Washington’s birth, arrangements also should be made for public gatherings, pageants, plays, processions, musical festivals, tableaux and other events at various times during the entire period of more than nine months. Every program should relate to the great life and work of the first president and founder of the republic. On Memorial day, Independence Day, Labor day, Thanksgiving day and other national and local holidays or anniversaries there should be special programs, but the celebration should not be confined to these days. 6—It will take time to prepare the local programs and arrange for the local celebrations. The United States commission urges mayors and other officials of every city and town in the country to appoint George Washington Bicentennial commissions or committees in order to prepare for the events of the bicentennial year. 7—All organizations and institutions of whatever character—civic, business, labor, educational, religious, fraternal, literary, social and others—are urged to plan for a “George Washington Year” in 1932. 8—The United States George Washington Bicentennial commission, Washington Building, Washington, D.C., will send suggestions for local programs to any committee, organization or group that will write for them. GAZETTE Is Now In Its 62d Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY THE GAZETTE 168 NORTH EMILY STREET Number 20 IF YOU WANT TO VOTE, REGISTER BEFORE MARCH 2 If you want to vote in the spring elections—and who won't, when the local politicians get all warmed up?—you must be registered 40 days before April -- or by March 2. This is the edict of County Clerk J. M. Backs. The new permanent registration law, besides providing that registrations shall be permanent as long as the individual exercises his right to vote at each election, fixes the time for closing of registration 40 instead of 30 days ahead of election date. Only one exception has been made so far. The new law doesn't apply to those who have registered within the last two years and who want to vote on the school elections to be held in Orange county on March 25. The new law takes effect April 1, so doesn't apply on the March election. National Orange Show Presented Governor Rolph Opens San Bernardino Exhibit; George Washington Theme The 1932 edition of the National Orange Show was formally presented Politics Brewing Write Excitement Phil Stanton Named Delegate at Large to the Republican National Convention Politics have reached the bleckering stage. Locally, no very divergent aims have been advanced by candidates seeking two seats in the city council, the city treasureship, and the city clerkship, which voters will decide on April 11. Nationally, color was added by the republican dinner last week, entrance of Al. Smith into the democratic limelight as a contender, and unanimous appointment at Riverside Monday night of Phil A. Stanton of Anaheim, and W. B. Williams of Santa Ana, as delegates to the republican national convention to be held in Chicago in June. Governor James Rolph Jr., himself a delegate, proposed Stanton delegate at large. Williams and Mrs. R. F. Garner of San Bernardino, were endorsed as nineteenth district delegates. Riverside's Publisher E. P. Clarke was endorsed as elector on November ballot. All delegates were pledged to support President Hoover. Adding his name to those already out (L. E. Miller, Charles Main, John C. Cook) for city trusteeship, Five Points Grocer Walter Koehler Monday applied to City Clerk E. B. Merritt for a councilloric petition. Koehler for 20 years has been a local taxpayer. He came to National Orange Show Presented Governor Rolph Opens San Bernardino Exhibit; George Washington Theme The 1932 edition of the National Orange Show was formally presented to the people of California Thursday night at imposing opening ceremonies in which Governor James Rolph took a prominent part. The show will be open at San Bernardino until Sunday night, February 28. Commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, the decorations take on a Colonial atmosphere. Patriotic themes predominate everywhere—in the program, in the hangings and in the feature displays. The mammoth fruit hall is transformed into a replica of a Colonial mansion. A dozen oil paintings 20 by 30 feet in size, adorn the walls above the fruit racks. These depict the life of Washington as a boy when he cut down the famed cherry tree, through the battles of the revolution and on to the presidency. The mammoth stage is a reproduction of the Mt. Vernon home of Washington. Big Program Ready In this setting are displays that have an historical character. The exhibits are maintained by Los Angeles county, Ventura county, Orange county, Riverside, San Diego county, Redlands, Pomona, Pasadena, Colton, Sacramento, Corona, state department of agriculture, and Hemet. Saturday is set aside for the newspaper folk when several hundred of them will gather at Arrowhead Springs for a luncheon, later visiting the show. It is also Canadian day. Boards of supervisors from every county in the state will also be honored—the supervisors holding their annual convention in San Bernardino at this time. Governor Rolph, who officiated at the opening, declared that the climax in exposition beauty has been reached in the spectacle which marks the 1932 show. He lauded the orange show officials for their labors in presenting a show under adverse conditions but predicted its success. Death of Mrs. Frances Bullard Mrs. Frances E.
