Orange County Best Paved In State, Phil Stanton Claims at Road Fiesta Setting Governor Merriam, County Officials and Road Commissioners Among 200 Present at Celebration Opening and Dedicating New Olinda Road to Carbon Canyon "You may not know it, but Orange county is the best paved county in the state." This was the information revealed by Bill A. Stanton of Anaheim at the celebration of the newly-constructed carbon canyon road built in co-operation with Riverside and San Bernardino counties, held at La Vida Friday evening, with 200 present. Mr. Stanton, a member of the governor's "political family," claimed that nervous eyes are looking toward gasoline tax as a means of raising revenue. "If we disturb this tax we will wreck the present highway system," he said. "It will take ten years to complete improvements of roads now in the secondary system, of which there are 3000 miles. Soon we are to select 320 miles of highway to be added to this classification. At present we are getting $1.25 worth of highway or every dollar we spend." Merriam Speaker Acting Governor Frank Merriam, of Long Beach, was principle speaker, in the absence of Gov. James Rolph Jr., who was leading the California delegation voting for Hoover at republican convention. Merriam traced development of the state's highways, claiming that to his best knowledge not one mile of road built by the $73,000,000 bond issues in this state is still in use. Hard-surfacing has not proved successful. Last year, he elucidated, the state spent $50,000,000 raised by the gas tax, auto license plate tax and federal appropriation, with surface to make the road of enduring benefit. The road we are dedicating," he said, will be of great value to the motoring public, but it is perhaps of greater value because it reveals the ability of State Is Facing Fight For Trade Competition for "Biggest Crop" Grows for California This Year Following an extended business tour through England, France, Germany and along the Atlantic seaboard, Sylvester L. Weaver, president of the All-Year club, Southern California's national tourist advertising organization, arrived home recently and presented first hand observations of competitive tourist conditions abroad. President Weaver stressed the fact that California faces the greatest competitive battle in her history to defend and retain this area's share of America's annual $4,000,000,000 pleasure travel expenditures. "Upon the wisdom and courage of our business and civic leaders depends the outcome of this crisis—the decision between a disastrous slump, or a triumphant continuance of the growth and prosperity brought by a 12-year community effort that has resulted in the most amazing strides of any community the world has ever seen," said Mr. Weaver. With 52 foreign governments and 328 other U.S. resort areas officially in the tourist business, England alone this year is spending about $50,000,000 for advertising and promotion in an attempt to lure American tourists.

Joe Burke acted as toastmaster, and introduced besides Merrilam and Stainon, Harry Hopkins, member of the state highway commission; State Senator N. T. Edwards of Orange; Assemblyman Ted Craig of Brea; County Supervisors William Schumacher, Wilard Smith and Charles Chapman, and chamber of commerce secretaries. The celebration was held under the sponsorship of the Brea chamber of commerce. THIEVES STEAL CAR TOP Somebody stole the top from L. R. Scott's automobile when it was parked in West Cypress last week, according to the report on file at the police station. (Scott lives at 218 East Wilhelmina street. Exchange Rates Are Lower because less auto accidents occur in the country than in the city. Then why pay high insurance rates based on city traffic? Here is a clean cut policy protecting your car, or any damage to others caused by it. The rates are based on the low accident risk of rural traffic. The rates are the lowest obtainable and the service is the best.

Europe Prepares "Hotel men and municipal authorities are throwing themselves enthusiastically into the new campaign to banish the traditional dreariness of English seaside resorts, and bring to England the rich American traffic that goes to France and Italy. Their slogan this year is—Take Your Holidays in Brighter Britain." On every corner there is evidence of the tremendous effort being put forth by Germany, France, Italy, Norway, Austria, Russia, East Africa, Egypt and Japan to lure the vacation seeker. "De luxe transportation and accommodations may be had at half the former rates. Trains and ships in this country and abroad are now operating faster schedules with many of the great trans-Atlantic liners featuring long cheap journeys to 'nowhere' and the same by rail at excursion rates to 'somewhere,' the latter being advertised for those to board the trains without knowing its destination. Tourist expeditures in Southern California constitute our third largest source of new income and if we are to accept this foreign challenge we must redouble our efforts which have proven a phenomenal success during the last 12 years under the banners of the All-Year club." Orange Election Settled "As Is" Ballots marked by pen or pencil instead of the rubber stamp provided are valid in municipal elections and must be counted. Superior Judge H. G. Ames ruled when making the decision last week that Councilmen C. J. Hessel, C. M. Chapman and Arthur Helm are legally elected on the City of Orange council. Former Councilman G. A. Shoemaker who contested the election, was defeated by 26 votes instead of the 25 as originally credited and against which he instituted suit. The only change in the final count was one vote. The 20 votes added by Ames' ruling offset 20 invalidated by challenge of Shoemaker.

Arthur, sr., an ordinance drafted to control film showings in the county is beginning at the wrong end. In a meeting here Friday night when representatives of 6,000 members of the Orange County Better Films association met, Mr. Arthur said that he was in hearty accord with the purposes of the association, that he had refused on numerous occasions to show pictures even though he was forced to pay anyway. The portion of the ordinance proposed which most meets Arthur's objection is the clause providing filing of bookings 10 days ahead of their showing. Wants Clean Pictures "This is impossible. Because of present booking arrangements the theatre managers themselves cannot and do not know, in many instances, the title of pictures that far in advance. I am as much interested in clean pictures as any of you and wherever I can cut or throw out objectionable ones. I am the father of 11 children and a grandfather of 14. I want those children to see clean pictures but you will not accomplish anything by adoption of your proposed ordinance. It would be impossible for any theatre manager to carry out its provisions and theatres would have to close. You want to begin at the other end—with the producer; the theatre manager and exhibitor is only at the bottom." Gustavus Schneider, former member of the board of review of Riverside, in the principle address pointed out the great increase in juvenile crime, attributing much of it to visual suggestion made via movies, which he characterized as a great educational force in many instances wrongly directed for box-filing and handling applications to exhibit pictures. He shall have free access to all theatres regardless of the type of production and is invested with the powers and duties of a police officer and can arrest any violator of the ordinance. He shall receive a nominal fixed salary and may act as a reviewer for other cities. It provides that it shall be unlawful for the showing of any picture without first having filed with the reviewer a declaration of intention and secured his approval. The declaration of intention shall be in writing and give the name of the picture, number of reels, general nature of the picture, name of the cast, time and place of showing and the name and address of the applicant. This application must be in the reviewers hands ten days before the proposed showing. News reels are exempt as the ordinance is now drawn. Penalties Fixed Whenever the reviewer questions a picture or has reason to believe it is objectionable he may demand within 48 hours after receipt of the application a private showing and the applicant must comply. He may demand other previews after deletions are ordered. Appeals from his decisions may be made to the city trustees. The reviewer shall collect a fee for each 1000 feet of film to be reviewed and this fee will help maintain his office. Refusal of the reviewer to permit showing of the film does not entitle the applicant to a return of the fee. It provides that it shall be unlawful to show "any play, act, performance, representation or exhibition which, or any part thereof, may be classified as obscene, indecent, immoral, inhuman, sacrilegious, or which is of such a character that its exhibition would tend to corrupt morals or incite... Germany, Rehabilitating via Athletics, Looms As America’s Strongest Opponent Germany, rehabilitating its country through athletics, looms as one of the strongest threats for leading honors in the forthcoming Olympic games, according to George T. Davis, noted Los Angeles sports writer. "The Germans have taken to competitive sports with the same vigor and exacting methods that they did militarism during the Prussian days," Davis observes. "Today these same strapping athletes who will come to this city in an attempt to wrest athletic glory from all other nations were the children suffering from malnutrition during the days of the blockade." Although the Olympic games allow for no official system of point scoring, the unofficial records at Amsterdam in 1928 appear equally divided as to whether Germany or the United States won the highest honors. "And, once again, Germany is ready to fight it out with this country for the right to rank as the leading sports nation of the world," says Davis. "Nothing has been left undone in preparing for this assignment, and the athletic system of the German is so far-reaching that not a single man or woman has been overlooked. An example of the work that is being done by Germany in the development of athletics in the Fatherland can be seen by the fact that at a recent athletic festival in Berlin 6000 crews stroked past a reviewing stand for three hours. They represented 400 rowing organizations, with three generations, grandparents, parents and children, all rowing together. "Track and field is one of the most popular branches of sports and a visit to the largest stadium in Berlin, as early as 6 o'clock in the morning, closes between 800 and 900 men and women taking systematic exercises. "Everything is standardized and conducted under the supervision of experts. There is competition for every type of man or woman, it being divided into groups for colleges, industrial firms, professional people, clerks, and 20 to 30 other classifications." Sundays and other periods of leisure find almost everyone taking part in some athletic activity under this thorough system that has been so vital in rehabilitating Germany as well as developing it into one of the greatest competitors in the Olympic games." "Christian Science" Lesson-Sermon Topic "Christian Science" 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. The Golden Text is from Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians: "When ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe." Among the Scriptural selections in the Lesson-Sermon are verses from Luke, relating to Christ Jesus: "And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man whose right hand was withered. And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him... And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so; and his hand was restored whole as the other." A passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states, "Many years ago the author made a spiritual discovery, the scientific evidence of which has accumulated to prove that the divine Mind produces in man health, harmony, and immortality." Arabian Horses Shown On Sundays "The W. K. Kellogg Institute of Animal Husbandry of the University of California," will be the name of the Kellogg Arabian Horse Ranch which passed into the control of the University of California recently. According to a statement from Dean C. B. Hutchison of the college of agriculture to the farm advisor's office, the institute will continue under the personal management of H. M. Reese, who held a similar position before the ranch and horses were given to the University. Warns Public of 'Coaching' Fraud Says Money Paid 'Schools' Is Thrown To Four Winds The following statement is made by the United States civil service commission: "The commission warns the public against paying money for 'coaching' courses in preparation for federal civil service examinations. "Schools which sell such courses under present conditions accept money under false pretenses. A purveyor of civil service courses is now under indictment in Iowa for false representation. It is expected that other such cases of prosecution will follow. "Comparatively few appointments are being made in the federal civil service. Vacancies which must be filled by the transfer of those in the service or the reinstatement of those who have been in the service, wherever practicabl. "It is seldom necessary to announce an examination. In most cases large registers of eligibles exist as a result of examinations held during the past year. When an examination is announced, the applicants are usually hundreds of times in excess of the need. "Money paid for civil service coaching courses at this time might almost as well be thrown to the four winds." Slow Thinkers Out In Traffic In 1952 It may be a lucky thing for you that you are driving in 1932 and not in 1952, as many present-day motorists could not probably qualify for a driving license 20 years from now. It is predicted that in 1952 would-be motorists will have to undergo a rigorous physical and mental examination before receiving licenses. These tests "The W. K. Kellogg Institute of Animal Husbandry of the University of California," will be the name of the Kellogg Arabian Horse Ranch which passed into the control of the University of California recently. According to a statement from Dean C. B. Hutchison of the college of agriculture to the farm advisor's office, the institute will continue under the personal management of H. M. Reese, who held a similar position before the ranch and horses were given to the University. Dean Hutchison stated the institute would be administered by the college of agriculture through the division of animal husbandry. "There will be few changes made at the ranch, at least for the present," said Dean Hutchison. "We shall continue the Sunday free horse shows as in the past and will welcome the attendance of the general public." Forest Protective Association Meet Members of the Orange County Forest Protective association are having a dinner meeting called for 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 29, Ketner's Cafe, Santa Ana. Anyone interested in the forestry and watershed protection program is invited to attend. This is rather an important meeting of the association, as Joe Scherman, state forest ranger stationed in Orange county, will outline his summer program in fire protection. Likewise, Harry Valentine, federal ranger, in charge of the Trabucco division of the Cleveland National forest, will outline the federal program. Oftentimes fire fighters are called upon to render first aid and rescue work for some comrade. To better equip members of the association in meeting such contingencies, Howard Miller, safety engineer of the Southern California Edison company, has been secured to give instruction and demonstrations in this subject. Slow Thinkers Out In Traffic In 1952 It may be a lucky thing for you that you are driving in 1932 and not in 1952, as many present-day motorists could not probably qualify for a driving license 20 years from now. It is predicted that in 1952 would-be motorists will have to undergo a rigorous physical and mental examination before receiving licenses. These tests would include not only physical ability to handle a machine, examination for color-blindness, etc., but also intelligence and speed or lack of speed of reactions. A slow thinking driver is obviously more of a liability on the streets than a motorist able to grasp quickly the circumstances of an emergency and act upon them immediately. These high standards will of necessity be hard on a great many drivers, but they are part and parcel with the stress which must be laid and is being laid more and more upon the essential safety factors in our ever growing traffic problem.
