Public School’s Week Proves Success As Hundreds of Parents Renew Their Interest Several hundred parents of Anaheim this week had a greater appreciation of their public schools as a result of the special school programs put on last week, climaxed by an address of William R. McCoy of San Diego at the high school auditorium Thursday evening. Taking as his subject, “Jewels,” the speaker referred to his experiences in South Africa, and described England's crown jewels. With this reference he concluded: "America's crown jewels are found in the school rooms which cover this nation. Their ultimate value depends upon the setting which we provide for these jewels in the way of environment." Principal J. A. Clayes of the high school presided. Several school groups provided entertainment, among them the high school orchestra which opened the program with "Nobles of the Mystic Shrine" (Sousa), and an overture, "The Benefactor" (J. C. Hied), and other numbers. Fremont's fourth grade chorus of boys and girls sang "Dandelion," "Violet," and "Trillium," winning much favorable comment. Fremont's Harmony Boys sang "Sleepy Hollow Tune" and "A Sea Song," while Katherine Ann McCullah played a piano solo, "Negro Harmony." Other programs during the week included on at the Horace Mann school where the kindergarten class gave the "kinder" band; the first and second grade pupils gave a demonstration of public schools week observance; the fourth grade gave a demonstration of good citizenship; the third graders gave a health demonstration; while Miss Alice Harrison directed the fifth graders in an appropriate appearance. The sixth grade presented Warren Rust's playlet which showed the history and purpose of the week's observances. The author is a member of the class. Local Officials To Aid Tax Body Girl Scouts Hold Benefit On May 13 Troops Busy With Instruction Period and Series of Entertainments Anaheim high school's girl scout troop No. 1 will hold a benefit bridge at the Girl Scout house on North Palm street May 13. Plans for the benefit were made at the meeting last week, when the instruction period was divided between work on the Morse code and a raffla project. Troop No. 2, from Fremont, followed a course on the "History of the American Flag" and "History of Girl Scouting" at its meeting, at which time plans were made for a playday between St. Boniface Troop VII and Troop II. Troop VI, also of Fremont, studied the American flag and tenderfoot work, while Troop IX of La Palma made a trip to the scout house where it started a new cactus garden. The skating party, which was sponsored by the committee for all Girl Scout troops, was attended by 50 girls who spent three hours at a Long Beach rink. Prizes were awarded Jacqueline Rust, Mrs. O. P. Rust, Mary Alice Endicott, Shirley Llewellyn and Jean McKinnen. Roxie Willis Is Anaheim's Entry JEFFERSON—It seems to me that there is no political party that views through parity. Of course, the Decem no more right to Jefferson than have There is no political today which embodies principles of Jefferson's city principles. He posed to government with private business government to regulate conduct of individuals that mankind got everybody was free own destiny and to of his own intelligence. It seems to me that ties today would do to Jefferson's stand do it, of course. So I once said that a organization which pose of putting it public payroll. We from too many tax politicians keep ma their followers. INCOME The difference be and the speculator thinks in terms of speculator thinks in I lunched the other investor. He hasn't plus but every time Local Officials To Aid Tax Body Tax Research Bureau Formed: Figures On Total Taxes Raised Studied Local officials representing widely scattered sections of California, as well as all the members of the state legislature, have been asked to take part in the work of the tax research bureau recently organized in the office of the state board of equalization. County supervisors, assessors, auditors, tax collectors and school superintendents are included in the group along with representatives of the California League of Municipalities, according to Fred E. Stewart, member of the equalization board and vice-chairman of the tax research bureau. Want State Represented "Through their intimate knowledge of tax problems these local officials can be of great assistance in our research work," said Stewart. "We want the entire state represented in our deliberations and because the counties and cities are important parts of the structure of government we deem it essential that we should have their advice and assistance." "Records of the state board of equalization disclose that of total revenues of some $450,000,000 raised by various forms of taxation in California, more than $310,000,000 are derived from local property taxes. Consequently, any tax investigation which is comprehensive must include a careful analysis of local revenues." "Through the medium of such an advisory council the members of the legislature should secure valuable suggestions from those who are in a position to give detailed information concerning the actual operation of California's tax system. This should form the basis for a program which will be comprehensive and afford the legislature an opportunity to give real tax relief to the people." Murder Charges Filed Against J. Martinez Despite the verdict of the coroner's jury at San Clemente which held that Juan Martinez, 32, of San Juan Capistrano shot in self-defense, gave a health demonstration; while Miss Alice Harrison directed the fifth graders in an appropriate appearance. The sixth grade presented Warren Rust's playlet which showed the history and purpose of the week's observances. The author is a member of the class. Roxie Willis Is Anaheim’s Entry Competes With Other High School Students for the Trojan Scholarship Anaheim union high school has selected Roxie Willis as its most promising journalism student by entering her as an applicant in the annual scholarship contest sponsored by the department of journalism and the alumni association of the University of Southern California. Only one candidate is eligible from each high school. Six boys and 17 girls have completed preliminary eligibility requirements for the four-year journalism scholarships valued at $1200. High scholarship rating, recommendation by teachers and citizens, notable work on high school publications, and a 500-word statement why the applicant intends to pursue journalism as a career were included in the requirements. Candidates have appeared in personal interview and oral examination before a committee of judges headed by Prof. Roy L. French, chairman of the S. C. department of journalism. One boy and one girl will be selected from the field of applicants and will be announced during the first week of May. Methodists Report Big Increase in Members An increase of 750,000 membership in the last four years was reported for the Methodist Episcopal churches now conducting its general conference at Atlantic City, New Jersey, according to reports received this week by Rev. Ralph W. Lee of the White Temple church. 8th Annual Apolliad Scheduled on May 7th The eighth annual Apolliad, spring festival of creative arts, is to be held at the University of Southern California on Saturday evening, May 7, with a program of original one-act plays, organization which poses of putting it public payroll. We from too many tax politicians keep ma their followers. INCOME The difference between and the speculator thinks in terms of speculator thinks in I lunched the other investor. He hasn't plus, but every time together he buys stocks usually his $100. He showed recent purchases—the and industrial institute And even though is reduced their divide on better than ten his investments. "The they may go low don't care. They know that if these everything is sunk that isn't going to joying a good income and my heirs will cash in on, and tha cerned about." I think one of the country today is that think they have lost they can't cash in to as they paid for them too few are thinking for the future instead tomorrow. ANTIQUES— I went the other national exhibition or some beautiful thing of junk that gave neck. Apparently, a from before 1900 is days. Amazing price dealers for cobblers' shoers' kits, wooden pers and other even are still to be found profusion around all and village. One dealer boasted could prove that so glassware, such as the table at home back as 1882. And dollars apiece for it cost a quarter, men were "antiques." My wife and I have antiques. Our old fa a hundred and fifty pleases us to furnish when we can buy t we could buy equally and if they are still never buy anything is old. CONTENTMENT— Murder Charges Filed Against J. Martinez Despite the verdict of the coroner's jury at San Clemente which held that Juan Martinez, 32, of San Juan Capistrano shot in self defense when he killed Hillario Segoviano, 26, on the Clarence Brown ranch on the evening of Tuesday, April 19, charges of murder were filed against Martinez last Friday. The defendant is being held without bail at the county jail, pending preliminary hearing May 11, following his arraignment in Justice K. E. Morrison's court last week. At the coroner's jury evidence was introduced showing that Segoviano attacked Martinez with a German Luger pistol Martinez shooting a 22-calibre rifle in self defense. 8th Annual Apolliad Scheduled on May 7th The eighth annual Apolliad, spring festival of creative arts, is to be held at the University of Southern California on Saturday evening, May 7, with a program of original one-act plays, musical compositions, poems, dances, essays, and sketches by college authors presented before an audience of art, music, drama, and literary critics. An exhibit of the work of art students — drawings, designs, etchings, sculpture, and paintings — also will be part of the 1932 Apolliad program to be held in Touchstone theatre on the Trojan campus. Sixty-five per cent of the motion pictures shown in Bergen, Norway are made in the United States. George Washington Rode in This Coach The ancient vehicle in which Washington rode to his first inauguration in New York has been preserved by the Frankford Historical Society. JEFFERSON— It seems to me a pity that the name and fame of Thomas Jefferson should have been claimed for so long by one political party that his statesmanship and wisdom are obscured by being viewed through partisan spectacles. Of course, the Democratic party has no more right to claim descent from Jefferson than have the Socialists. There is no political party in America today which embodies any of the essentials of Jefferson's doctrines in its party principles. He was absolutely opposed to governmental interference with private business or attempt by government to regulate the lives and conduct of individuals. He believed that mankind got along best when everybody was free to work out his own destiny and to reap the rewards of his own intelligence and industry. It seems to me that all political parties today would do well to swing back to Jefferson's standards. They won't do it, of course. Some wiser man than I once said that a political party is an organization which exists for the purpose of putting its members in the public payroll. We are suffering now from too many tax-eaters, but the politicians keep making new jobs for their followers. INCOME The difference between the investor and the speculator is that the investor thinks in terms of income and the speculator thinks in terms of price. I lunched the other day with a real investor. He hasn't a very large surplus, but every time he can get $100 "Adam and Fallen Man" is Lesson-Sermon Text "Man that is born of a woman is of a few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not." These words from Job constitute the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Adam and Fallen Man" on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Bible citations presents statements from Genesis: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." A correlative passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "The Scriptures inform us that man Instruct Officers To Watch Tractors Weight of Vehicles Will Be Checked As They Move Over Highways Anticipating the usual heavy movement of tractors and semi-trailer registered as one unit over the highways of the state during the coming farming season, E. Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol issued instructions to highway officers concerning speeds allowed such vehicles. When the gross weight of the vehicle and load thereon is between 20,000 and 25,000 pounds it was stated, the speed limit is 35 miles an hour. When the gross weight of the vehicle and load is over 25,000 pounds, the speed limit is 30 miles an hour. These speeds apply to tractors and semi-trailer units having a gross weight capacity of not more than 34,-000 pounds, not over 33 feet in length and registered as one unit. Officers were cautioned to limit the speed of tractors, trucks and other INCOME The difference between the investor and the speculator is that the investor thinks in terms of income and the speculator thinks in terms of price. I lunched the other day with a real investor. He hasn't a very large surplus, but every time he can get $100 together he buys some dividend paying stocks, usually several shares for his $100. He showed me the list of his recent purchases—the solidest business and industrial institutions in America. And even though some of them have reduced their dividends, he can count on better than ten per cent a year on his investments. "They may go lower," he said. "I don't care. They may go higher. I know that if these companies fail everything is sunk, and I am confident that isn't going to happen. I'll be enjoying a good income in my old age and my heirs will have something to cash in on, and that's all I am concerned about." I think one of the troubles in this country today is that too many people think they have lost money because they can't cash in today, for as much as they paid for their investments, and too few are thinking of secure income for the future instead of big profits for tomorrow. ANTIQUES— I went the other night to the annual national exhibition of antiques. I saw some beautiful things, but also a lot of junk that gave me a pain in the neck. Apparently, anything that dates from before 1900 is an antique nowadays. Amazing prices were asked by dealers for cobblers' benches, horse-shoers' kits, wooden churns, tin dippers and other everyday things that are still to be found in more or less profusion around almost every farm and village. One dealer boasted to me that he could prove that some very cheap glassware, such as I always saw on the table at home, was made as far back as 1882. And he wanted several dollars apiece for items that used to cost a quarter, merely because they were "antiques." My wife and I have bought a lot of antiques. Our old farmhouse is nearly a hundred and fifty years old, and it pleases us to furnish it with old pieces, when we can buy them cheaper than we could buy equally good new stuff, and if they are still useful. But we never buy anything merely because it is old. CONTENTMENT— Troy Seeks Mark In Hurdle Relay Smiling Dean Cromwell Coaches Lads for Assault on Record At Fresno Having already coached two world's record holding relay teams, Dean Cromwell of the University of Southern California is going to send a new Trojan quartet after still another mark when the S. C. boys compete in the West Coast relays at Fresno on the night of May 14. The smiling Dean has high ambitions for the mark he seeks now is the world's record in the 480-yard shuttle high hurdle relay. The present record is 59.5 seconds, made by an all-star team of Lee Sentman, Jimmy Hatfield, Charles Kaster and Steve Anderson. The mark was made when this team, comprised of the outstanding hurdlers of the country in 1930, won the event in the United States - British Empire meet at Chicago on August 27, 1930. The Trojan coach believes his boys have a good chance of breaking this record as three Southern California high hurdlers ran faster than 14.8 seconds last Saturday in making a clean sweep in this event against Stanford. Jeddy Welsh, the winner, was timed in 14.7 and Jimmy Payne and Joe Bills, who were second and third, were scarcely a foot behind. In the Fresno relays, Cromwell will use Al Vignolo as first man in the shuttle hurdles, with Bills, Payne and Welsh following in this order. If the Trojan quartet could average 14.8 seconds to the man, they would beat the present record by 3-10 of a second. Last year in the Fresno relays a Trojan quartet of Vignolo, Bills, Bill CONTENTMENT— I had a letter the other day from my old friend, Walter Scott Merriweather, whom I hadn’t seen since he was ship news reporter on the old New York Herald, fifteen or twenty years ago, and everybody called him “Skipper.” Instead of sticking around in the big city after the old Herald was sold, he went down to Charleston, Mississippi, and bought a country newspaper. The Mississippi Sun is one of the best local weeklies that I see, and "Skipper" Merriweather is one of the most contented men I know. I don’t know how old he is, but forty-seven years ago he was a sailor in the United States Navy and served on the old freighter Constitution. He went to see the Constitution when she was tied up at Gulfport recently, and wrote a mighty interesting article about it for his paper. I know a lot of city newspaper men who have no jobs and no income for their old age. I don’t know of a single country newspaper editor who is actually in want. COLOR— One of the next big revolutionary inventions will be a hand camera which will take snapshots of moving objects in the actual colors of nature. And that is going to be followed by new printing inventions which will enable newspapers to print pictures in their natural colors as readily as they do now in black and white. I don’t know how soon it will come, but I know several people who are working on it and who think they are pretty close to it. The world that our grandchildren will inhabit will be far more brilliantly colored than the one we are living in now, just as ours is more brilliant than that of our grandparents. Quarter of Million to Vacation In Southland A report filed this week by the All-Year club showed that inquiries in behalf of more than a quarter of a million people expressing interest in vacations here this summer have been received by Southern California’s national tourist advertising organization since the first week in January. A. B. Macbeth, in announcing the report stated that this is an increase of 28 per cent over the same period last year and an encouraging indication that California will have an increased tide of out-of-state summer tourists here this year. “Fifty-five per cent of this total requested Olympic games information in direct response to the All-Year club's campaign appearing in 20 magazines with international circulation and 27 metropolitan newspapers with a total circulation of 104,922,405 which headlined the sports classic as one of the outstanding attractions here this summer.” Ramona Pageant Again This Week-end Preparations are completed at Hemet to entertain huge throngs for the remaining performances of the tenth annual Romona pageant, open air drama glorifying Southern California romance and tradition, scheduled for 2:45 p.m. clock in the Ramona Bowl, on Saturday and Sunday, May 7 and 8. The 1932 production has been hailed by those who never miss an annual showing of the spectacular drama as the most colorful presentation in the ten years the play has drawn crowds of lovers of the romance of days of the dons to this city, in the heart of the Ramona country. Merchants to Hold Weekly Luncheons Beginning Wednesday, May 10, the Merchants and Manufacturers association will hold luncheon-meetings weekly, as a result of action taken at the meeting Monday evening at the Elks clubhouse. Special events will be featured throughout the year. Committees were appointed to see all merchants and encourage a large attendance at the weekly sessions. Manager Harry Arthur Sr. announced at the meeting that the Anaheim Fox theatre would close indefinitely May 14. Hereafter his efforts will be concentrated on the Fairyland theatre. No estimate is made of the increased wear and tear on the car at the higher speeds. WESTINGHOUSE RADIO - $37.50 and up FEARN Easy Parking Phone 3111 273 E. Center St., Anaheim "Oh, Betty!
