Old Timers’ Picnic . Has Joyful Throng (Continued from page 1) A beautiful bunch of gladiolas was presented the writer for his wonderful facility for storing away grub. He beat every one at the picnic with the single exception of the County Clerk, who is making good at the Orange county court house and deserves great credit for winning over such a distinguished adversary. A number arose at the call of the chairman for those who had lived here sixty years, while others stood up at his call for those who had lived here fifty years and for less periods of time. Miss Jacquelyn Rust, the fifteen year-old-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Rust, was voted the youngest descendant of Pioneers present. Mrs. Rust and Mrs. Leo J. Sheridan made delicious coffee, and this was passed around in generous quantity by councilman Sheridan. Pioneer House The chairman referred to the Pioneer house maintained by the D. A. R. on West street near Sycamore on a lot donated to them by Mrs. John J. Dwyer. The building is the first structure to be erected in Anaheim, in 1858, it was built by George Hansen, who surveyed the colon site and was occupied by him as a residence and office on North Los Angeles street near Cypress. The edifice was donated to the ladies by E. E. Beazil of Fullerton and was moved to its present site a number of years ago. It is filled with relics of the Pioneers, and is open to the public at stated times during the week. The chairman said the building should occupy a place in the city park and suggested that a committee be appointed representing the chamber of commerce and the city trustees to ascertain whether an appropriate site could be obtained for it. Mrs. Ernst Borchert arose and said the building was now the property of the D. A. R. who were maintaining it and suggested that the ladies have membership upon the committee. Otto des Granges moved that such committee be an Tax Rate Slash For City Looms Contemplate Cut from $1.25 to $1.00; To Lower Assessments Not only will the tax rate be slashed from $1.25 to about $1 per $100 valuation, but assessed valuation of improved properties in Anaheim will be cut approximately $800,000, thus further decreasing the tax burden, if plans tentatively adopted by the city council at its meeting Tuesday mature. Recent changes in city administration, eliminating of the city manager and the accounting department, as well as dismissal of two employees, brought about certain economies which look toward decreased taxes. Further slashes of salaries paid city employees loom, and other economies in various branches of city government are contemplated, according to Mayor Fred Koesel. Studies Budget Among other actions taken by the city council was the one ordering City Attorney George Holden to prepare a revision of sections of an ordinance making payable semi-annually instead of annually the license fee; reduction of license fee for plumbers from $100. (adopted to keep out outside competition two years ago) also was authorized. The city fathers also decided that no reduction in city license fees would be made. Tentative budget as prepared by City Clerk John C. Price and submitted a week ago was held over for consideration at an informal session Thursday night. The city council assured representatives of the Anaheim Workers' league that it would co-operate should the league find quarters for dispensing of foodstuffs and clothing. Orange County T. B. Group Meets Monday RELICS OF THE PIONEERS, AND IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT STATED TIMES DURING THE WEEK. THE CHAIRMAN SAID THE BUILDING SHOULD Occupy A PLACE IN THE CITY PARK AND Suggested That A Committee Be Appointed Representing The Chamber Of Commerce And The City Trustees To Ascertain Whether An Appropriate Site Could Be Obtained For It. Mrs. Ernst Borchert Arose And Said The Building Was Now The Property Of The D. A. R. Who Were Maintaining It And suggested That The Ladies Have Membership Upon The Committee. Otto des Granges moved that Such Committee Be Appointed. The Motion Was Carried And A Committee Representing The Three Bodies Will Be Appointed With This End In View. Rev. D. Howard Dow Offered The Invocation Referring Feelingly To The Memory Of The Pioneers And Later Gave The Benefiction. At Conclusion Of The Festivities The Picnickers drove To The Pioneer House Where A Fashion Show Was Instituted. A Number Of Young Ladies Attiring themselves In Fabrics Of Former Years. OLD TIME FASHION SHOW Mrs. Rust and Miss Dorothy Yungbluth were in charge. Mrs. Yuarda Akerman played Old Time Molodies Upon The Plano Donated To The D. A. R. By the late Mrs. Anna Fischer DeFrees who was the first white girl born in Anaheim. Mrs. DeFrees attended all of these annual picnics and met many of her old time friends here but she was conspicuous by her absence, having passed away last year. The gowns modeled were worn between the years of 1857 and 1912. As each model appeared Miss Dorothy Yungbluth told the history of the gown. At the close of the program the entire assembly sang "Auld Lang Syne." The models were Miss Dorothy Yungbluth, Miss Honor Easton, Miss Dorothy Cromer, Mrs. Catherine Easton, Mrs. Yuarda Akerman, Mrs. June Borchert Bland, Mrs. Genevieve Kuchel, Mrs. Mildred ORANGE COUNTY T.

New Problems Confront Plan (Continued from page 1) Patterson of Bakersfield, secretary of the legislative committee, reviewed the history of the plan for a state-wide water conservation measure, dating back more than ten years and recognized by appropriations of money from various legislatures since that time for continued study of the situation. Al- had been developed only for mild penetration into the soil for moisture, and now instead of being two feet below the surface water is more than 20 feet." Patterson explained that the enabling act would be available to all sections of the state. Senator Walter H. Duval of Santa Barbara asked: "Is it wise to bond ourselves to develop facilities for San Joaquin valley farmers for water to which they have no title?" He said that he was a typical owner of property in that valley because his land there had been "in red ink for 10 years"; he asked elimination of sectioning the recepture clause. Orchard Heater Demonstration Experts To Test Various Kind of Farmers' Equipment at Tustin, June 15 In the interests of reducing smelting and increasing the efficiency of orchard heating of citrus orchards in Oran county, the announcement is made: Harold E. Walberg farm advi Confront Plan (Continued from page 1) Patterson of Bakersfield, secretary of the legislative committee, reviewed the history of the plan for a state-wide water conservation measure, dating back more than ten years and recognized by appropriations of money from various legislatures since that time for continued study of the situation. Although committees appointed hadn't arrived at definite plans in time for any session of the legislature to act upon them, the present legislature is familiar with the problems and would be in a position to act without wasting a great deal of time in familiarizing itself, he declared. Outlines Safeguards Patterson said that "we have a California for president, a Californian for secretary of the interior, Californians in other important federal posts, and consequently any state-wide plan advanced at this particular psychological time would receive more than usual consideration by federal forces." He told of a congressional committee which studied the plan for water conservation in this state and interpreted their report in the light of favorable action should a unified plan be advanced. He spoke of the constitutional amendment as proposed in regard to riparian rights, of the necessity of safeguards which has been added to the measure, of a plan for a commission composed of state officials to serve as a bond certification group to protect the state and see that adequate contracts were made, of unemployment and of dire necessity of getting water for the particular area which would be most vitally affected by the project. Assemblyman Craig of Brea in detail outlined the safeguards which the measure throws around district bonds. A two-third vote of the legislature, approval of the governor, and vote of the people would be necessary to authorize such underwriting. Then, he said, state or federal money might be secured at less interest. At this point Assemblyman Chester M. Cline of Riverside asked for limitation of state assistance, suggesting 25 per cent of assessed valuation in order that the state wouldn't "hold the sack." Political Family Executive Secretary A. E. Miot of Tulare's board of trade, pleading that "San Joaquin valley farmers are fighting with their back to the wall" suggested that the special session be called because the present legislature is "educated to the problem," and that in regular session many problems confront the body while it could devote its full time to statewide plan if now instead of being two feet below the surface water is more than 20 feet." Patterson explained that the enabling act would be available to all sections of the state. Senator Walter H. Duval of Santa Barbara asked: "Is it wise to bond ourselves to develop facilities for San Joaquin valley farmers for water to which they have no title?" He said that he was a typical owner of property in that valley because his land there had been "in red ink for 10 years"; he asked elimination of section six, the recapture clause. Danger Realized Patterson explained that only valid contracts for water would be recognized. Here Assemblyman Isaac Jones of Ontario questioned the recapture clause, terming it "serious," and needing removal or uncertainty. W. A. Johnson of San Diego said that a bond issue couldn't be floated with a recapture provision in the contracts, but favored the state underwriting any feasible proposition. Miot of Tulare then explained that the danger of the clause was realized but, based on the federal and state governments' studies enough surplus water is available from the Sacramento valley to furnish three acre feet of water to every acre that possibly could be included in the project in San Joaquin valley, and still have water to spare. Harry Hale declared that there can be no state-wide plan without the state having the right of eminent domain, but that protection to investments already made naturally would have to be considered. "The state eventually must conserve our water, and every drop of it," he emphasized. Senator William Harper of San Diego placed this point-blank question before the Economic Council: "While I doubt if the water measure would pass a special legislature were it called, would the Economic Council accept and support what would come out of such a special session?" "Show Up Certain Elements" W. C. McCowan asked that the council re-read its stand taken at Bakersfield and deaffirm its action, but this was overruled. At this junction Dempster put his motion to ask for special session, with Senator Henry Carter of Los Angeles being the first to reply. His objection was that the question is too big to be hastily acted upon in a few days, with Dempster replying that better action could be secured in a short time than in a regular session with "4,000 bills to consider." Legislator George Bowers of San Diego favored a special session, not because he approved the water measure, but "because it would show up certain elements in state politics." Assemblywoman Sarah E. Kellogg of Los Angeles thought it "foolish to go Demonstration Experts To Test Various Kinds Of Farmers' Equipment at Tustin, June 15 In the interests of reducing smelting and increasing the efficiency of orchard heating of citrus orchards in Orange county, the announcement is made by Harold E. Wallberg, farm advice representing the University of California Orange county, that the agricultural extension service will be prepared to test orchard heaters Wednesday June 15, at the Tustin house of Central Lemon association on Newp Road. Beginning at 10:30 a.m., equipment will be set up and erected ahead tested during the morning, afternoon and early evening. All growers who heaters to be tested, or other who are experimenting with types equipment for the purpose of elating smoke are invited to bring their equipment. During the afternoon, beginning 2 o'clock; there will be a legature orchard heaters and combustion glove by W. R. Schoonover, extension specialist in citriculture and J. A. Forbhair specialist in agricultural operations. Orchard heaters companies are laying down kinds of equipment for the benefit growers and others interested.Latest information on orchard fire problems will be discussed.tests are being made at this third order to give growers ample time make any readjustments necessary their equipment according to W. Berg. Personal Delivery Of Bills Approval Instead of using the mails for delivery of public service department for water and electricity, William Hurt, who approached the council with proposal several weeks ago, deliver it personally, accepting responsibility for their delivery by another person should be ill. This vision was reached recently by the council, following a study of the mails in Anaheim, and the water department. The Southern Counties Gas compulsals,and an option from federal postal office of the city of Fullerton previously authorized such delivery, using theof postage to furnish salary for more local unemployed man. M. Cline of Riverside asked for limitation of state assistance, suggesting 25 per cent of assessed valuation in order that the state wouldn't "hold the sack." Political Family Executive Secretary A. E. Miot of Tulare's board of trade, pleading that "San Joaquin valley farmers are fighting with their back to the wall" suggested that the special session be called because the present legislature is "educated to the problem," and that in regular session many problems confront the body while it could devote its full attention to the state-wide plan if called in special session. He said that despite wet seasons which didn't add to the underground supply, 500,000 feet of water annually are being taken from nature's storehouse, never to be replaced except by such urgent action as now proposed. "Within ten years, if no relief is granted, fully 50 per cent of the irrigated lands of San Joaquin valley will be turned back to desert," he said. Hugh S. Jewett of Kern county referred to the closer link the new ridge route road will make, cutting 11 miles off the distance and one hour off the time between Southern California proper and the valley which through political allegiance has become a part of Southern California. Tulare's P. D. Nowell, publisher, referred to the political family again, asking that Los Angeles and areas south take San Joaquin "off the doorstep and into the household." He talked of the tremendous vote which labor organizations "most certainly would give the measure," and said he believed the time propitious for a ballot. Throws Bomb This reasoning Assemblyman J. K. Reed of Long Beach considered fallacious because "the people would be reluctant to vote those bonds now," he did favor submission of the problem to the legislature. Here Joe Riley of Bishop threw a monkey wrench into the plan when he asked for a measure that would include Owens valley, which he said, "has witnessed 90,000 acres go back to desert, and through the policy of Los Angeles in actually pumping the underground supply, thousands of acres more are going to desert. This condition has led to even our shade and fruit trees dying because their roots Senator Henry Carter of Los Angeles being the first to reply. His objection was that the question is too big to be hastily acted upon in a few days, with Dempster replying that better action could be secured in a short time than in a regular session with "4,000 bills to consider." Legislator George Bowers of San Diego favored a special session, not because he approved the water measure, but "because it would show up certain elements in state politics." Assemblywoman Sarah E. Kellogg of Los Angeles thought it "foolish to go to a special session without something definite to vote on" and added that if the motion were called to vote, she wouldn't. Assemblyman W. E. Brock of Redlands couldn't see why the legislators, who were guests of the council, should be "put on the spot" when it is the governor's duty to call a special session, and not the duty of the legislators present to urge him to do it. Visitor S. E. Robinson of Imperial arose, claiming that because of too rapid development, 55 per cent of the irrigation districts are in default of their bonds. He asked no quick solution. Craig said that the joint legislative was on record now before Governor Rolph and that it would be presumptuous to act again. Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange didn't favor such action. Stanton Qulets Meeting Phil A. Stanton of Anaheim, member of the governor's official family, claimed the only sensible action was to urge the governor to urge his governor's committee to expedite its study in order that certain differences in the council's and committee's reports could be mended immediately, with a view to presenting a definite and unified measure should a special session be called.

"Anaheim, Calif., June 9, 1923 "God Preserver of Man" Church Topic "God the Preserver of Man" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church. The First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scriptural citations includes these verses from Matthew: "And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my servant both at home sick of the palsy, gravelously terminated. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy than thou shouldest come under my roof but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, nor not in Israel. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way, and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto them. And his servant was healed in the same hour." A passage from Sects and Hearts with key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "Diving Truth Life, and Love gave Jesus' real mission was to reveal the Seven of celestial being, the opposing God and what He does now."

County Cuts Its Expenses $50,000 Reduction of Employees' Salaries Made to Lessen Tax Burden County employees' wages will be ten per cent less beginning July 1, saving a total of $50,000 per year in operation of county government, as a result of the county board of supervisors' action at its Tuesday meeting. Previous to this employee whose salaries are fixed by state law and thus cannot be cut until action of the 1933 legislature becomes effective, have been contributing a portion of their regular salaries since January, approximating a 10 per cent cut. This method has saved the taxpayers about $1000 a month. Supervisors, three of whom receive $250 per month and two $200 per month, contributed $115 every thirty days to the county; the Orange County Offices and Employees association, most members coining under the statues, took a similar move. The cut ordered Tuesday effects 250 employees receiving an average of $125 a month, saving about $31,000 per year. This reduction applies to employees in the hospital and farm highway department, south department, certain ones in the agricultural welfare, veterans welfare, purchasing, advertising, county park, water districts, county garage, planning commission. flood control, county library, detention home, farm advisor's office, telephone exchange, meat inspector, gardener and janitor divisions.
