Yarns Spun by Old Boys Club Members Will Be Carefully Kept for Reference Dr. H. A. Johnston's Idea Develops As Officers Are Named and Lists Studied for Eligible Members of Old Timers' Organization; Will Meet Once Each Year Authoritative spinners of old timers' yarns which have held the young of successive generation, spellbound, will have their tales recorded officially by the Mother Colony Old Boys club for historical reference. This feature of the organizing of the Old Boys was brought out by President H. A. Johnston, who thought of the idea recently and immediately conferred with several old timers, who endorsed it. At a meeting of the group recently, Dr. Johnston was elected president; Thomas L. McFadden, vice president; George Reid, secretary; Fred Backs, J. H. Whitaker, Judge Homer Ames and F. A. Yungbluth, members of the board of governors. The club will meet once a year, at which time the members will tell of their experiences or the experiences of the immediate members of their families. Careful record of these yarns will be made. President Johnston says, in order to give future generations authoritative data, Membership in the club will be open to all old timers, with the officers and the board of directors determining who are eligible under this listing. At present the board is making a compilation of "old boys" to invite to membership. Many Orchard Heaters Tested Range of Carbon Varies From 2 to 18 Grams in Tustin Exhibit The orchard heater testing equipment was kept busy the entire time it Many Orchard Heaters Tested Range of Carbon Varies From 2 to 18 Grams in Tustin Exhibit The orchard heater testing equipment was kept busy the entire time it was set up in Tustin, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. The equipment, designed by the Engineering division of the University of California, was brought and set up in Orange county by the agricultural extension service to assist growers in determining the comparative output of smoke of various types of heaters. In some counties ordinances have been passed to reduce the amount of smoke by outlawing the heaters that produce more than 20 grams of carbon through smoke per pound of fuel consumed. Such limitations would remove only the most flagrant smoke pots. The later designs of heaters have materially cut down smoke output and with reasonable adjustment and management only the minimum of smoke will be produced. Some 20,000 tests have been made with the equipment used at the testing demonstration last week, according to Farm Advisor Wahlberg. Fuel Important In last week's tests the range of smoke tests was from 2 grams to 18 grams per pound of fuel. Two grams is hardly visible, five grams is considered good, 10 grams fair, and 20 grams poor but still tolerable from the standpoint of present ordinances. No step has been taken towards legal regulation in Orange county for the large majority of the heaters are of the modern type. The agricultural extension service is endeavoring, through field demonstrations, to reduce the smoke nuisance by educational means. Better heater management and selection of fuel will go a long way in this direction. The latest survey shows approximately 4,800 acres of citrus in Orange county equipped with orchard heaters. This is about 7 percent of the total citrus area in the county. The facilities of the Tustin Frost Protective league were made available for the demonstration through the courtesy of Ross Shafer, its president. NEW ROAD OPEN The Pines to Palms highway between Hemet and Indio via Tauquitz Lodge is now open to travel. Minor construction work will still be encountered in several places. Paul Jessup will also be entered in the discus and hopes to make the first 170 ft. toss in history here. In practice, he unfurled a toss of 169 ft. 4 in. Third of the world record holders due in the Long Beach meet is Lee Barnes, 1924 Olympic pole vault champion, who set the present record of 14 ft. 1 1-2 in. four years ago. Barnes is back in shape as confirmed by his recent victory in the Fresno relays. Eight States Represented A great free-for-all is predicted in the javelin. Jimmy DeMers, national champion and American title holder of 222 ft. 11 1-4 in. leads the mighty field. Three of the first four men in the National A. A. U. hammer throw championship last summer will compete here. The first three men in the National A. A. U. hop, stop and jump championships will be soon here. Robert Kelly, Olympic club, American champion with a record of 48 ft. 6 3-4 in., heads the field. The track events will feature such names as Edwin Genung, twice national A. A. U. 880 champion, Vic Williams, twice national A. A. U. champion in the 440 yard high hurdles, Bob Maxwell, low hurdle champion with a mark of 23.5s, Nate Long, Salt Lake City in the 400 meter run; Hec Dyer and Claud Bracey in the 200 meter run; Hec Dyer, Claud Bracey, Darrell Hamilton, Don Plumb and others in the 100 meter. Eight states are represented in the advance entry list and over 300 entries are planned for in the program. The event is being sponsored by the young men's division of the Long Beach chamber of commerce and Long Beach is preparing to accommodate a throng of 15,000. The meet is being held under the technical auspices of the long Beach recreation commission. The track field is at Seventh and Ximeno, Long Beach—just a short distance from the Marine stadium where the rowing events of the Olympic games will be staged.

Surprises Mark Petition Filings Orange County Voters Have 84 From Whom to Choose Leaders When Orange county citizens go to the polls for the primaries and general election in August, they'll have a total of 84 names from which to make their choices. Several surprises in the political line-up crowded in as candidates from unexpected quarters filed just before the deadline, noon, last Saturday. Among them were City Attorney Clyde Downing of Santa Ana, entered in the race against Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange; and filing of papers by E. E. (Doc) Long and Robert W. Judge James Allen Seeks Re-Election Present Presiding Justice Commended for Excellent Record Amendment Fails Of Its Purpose (Continued from page 1) school support to the state, and raised by $10 per pupil the amount to be spent for average daily attendance bringing the amount for elementary schools from $60 to $70; and for high schools, from $90 to $100. Under this present plan the county and state raise $30 for elementary, the state $5 and the county $60 for high school pupils per year. Creates Defeit This action would throw an additional burden of $50,000,000 fixed charges this year upon the state, which already has a deficit of $15,000,000. To offset two new sources of revenue are posed—both designed to equalize proportionate burden wealth should bear toward education. One is for state tax on incomes, which, viewed with the light of drastic reductions in last two years, couldn't reasonably raise more than $10,000,000 per year. The other is for a selective sales tax which reasonably couldn't exceed $817,000 in revenue, thus making a total of $21,817,000 in new income. Sustaining this from the $65,000,000 felt leaves $43,183,000 which MU BE RAISED BY TAXING REPROPERTY, for which the measure provides. This writer, seeing the problem from an unbiased viewpoint, recognizes many arguments in favor of the amendment. It does provide for such action, but state legislation might conceivably adopt legislation making uniform the salaries to paid in various districts of the state thus giving Anaheim an opportunity get as good teachers as Long Beach Pasadena or Berkeley, where averages salaries are several hundreds of dollars highr per year. This is one great feature. Another like assessing districts such as the Kettleman field, and transferring this money When Orange county citizens go to the polls for the primaries and general election in August, they'll have a total of 84 names from which to make their choices. Several surprises in the political line-up crowded in as candidates from unexpected quarters filed jgst before the deadline noon. Last Saturday, among them were City Attorney Clyde Downing of Santa Ana, entered in the race against Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange; and filing of papers by E. E. (Doc) Long and Robert W. Ramsey of Anaheim for assemblyman from this district (the 75th). While the most cut-up race in the county probably will occur in the first supervisorial district with nine candidates out-for the position now held by Charles H. Chapman, who refused to run again, Anaheim, Fullerton Placentia and other municipalities are interested primarily in the supervisorial race from the third district in which Supervisor William Schumacher, who has held the office for five terms, is out for election to round out 24 years of consecutive service. He is the heavy favorite to win, but is opposed by LeRoy Lyon of Placentia, John C. Kellenberger Jr.; Anaheim; W. J. Carmichael of Fullerton; and H. H. Oelke of Anaheim.

Allen, who is nearing the completion of his first term as judge of the superior court, Dept. 2 has announced his candidacy for re-election. At present he is the presiding judge of the superior court. Allen came to Santa Ana and Orange county ten years ago. He served a term in the Kansas state senate, and was for two years attorney for the secretary of the interior, adjusting Indian land titles in Oklahoma. Allen is an experienced practitioner his legal activity extending over a period of 37 years. His record as a judge of the superior court of Orange county has been one for commendable comment, both for judicial discernment and industry. During his administration he has adopted a policy for criminal and juvenile procedure which he is anxious to give a thorough test. The results so far have been satisfactory. His theory is to reclaim and rehabilitate the youth and young men from 16 to 20 even though convicted of a major offense thus avoiding the additional burden to the already overburdened taxpayer and at the same time save individuals for society and citizenship. His probation plan is to give the accused opportunity to work and support dependents, under the supervision of the probation department; to permit the probationer to go out and work for himself. When he proves his integrity he is given his freedom. Judge Allen hopes to be supported by voters in this procedure so he can complete his sociological tests, which so far have been very beneficial both to the individuals and society.

The increased expenditures provided by the proposed amendment—$6,780,000 for elementary and $2,463,480 for high school—amount to $9,243,990 more than it would be raised by transferring this money from improverished desert districts, giving uniform quality of education within state, appeals to many thinking people. Basle Problem The increased expenditures provided by the proposed amendment—$6,780,000 for elementary and $2,463,480 for high school—amount to $9,243,990 more than it would be raised by transferring this money from improverished desert districts, giving uniform quality of education within state, appeals to many thinking people. After all, the basic problem as recognized by the real estate association to decrease taxation, especially upon real estate. Here appears to be when the amendment is weakest of all that provides that the state could levy tax on district real property—in case almost the total amount counties now raise. The chief difference would be that a probably district tax would be levied, again shifting part of the bldb urden from districts with a high assessed valuation to districts with lower assessed valuations. Hence Anaheim, which has approximately $6,321 assessed valuation per pupil would sacrifice a portion its state aid under the proposed amendment to districts with lesser valuation. But the fact remains that while some districts would receive material benefit under the proposed amendment, others would be severely handicapped, and average taxation of real estate in this state would be lessened only approximately $10,000,000! That would be a very few cents per acre—not enough to accomplish any material relief for the property owner. Still Leaves Threat Taxes on Orange county might reduce very slightly on real estate if such an amendment were taxes on real estate in Los Angeles actually would raise 5 cents per dollarvaluation That is not sufficient reason to offset such disadvantages of fix costs for education at peak levels, without district control than ever over expenditures; or establishing a progressive fixed charge in the constitution which must be met before costs of general government; and of writing in the constitution a fixed percentage salaries still further detracting from individual control. But the worst feature of all, it pears, is that it does not limit the district tax which still can be leased Committee Posts Republican central committee: First district: Milburn G. Harvey, S. M.

MAKES NATIONWIDE SURVEY Dean William Green Hale of the University of Southern California law school is a member of a committee making a nationwide survey of methods of selection of judges. The survey is sponsored by the National Municipal league, the Institute of Law of John Hopkins university, and the American Judicature Society. Painters Object To Lack of Protection City council members, when presented with a petition signed by six painters and decorators protesting against unsatisfactory enforcement of a city ordinance designed to protect them in their business, explained to the tradesmen's representative, Harry J. Twitchell that the police department's enforcement program this year was mapped out in accordance with the state register of those engaged in business, and that through this the painters and decorators would receive maximum protection. The painters said they would renew licenses until satisfactory arrangements were made. Those signing the petition, besides Twitchell, were: J. E. Saylor, C. C. Driver, Dan Granada, Joe Baum and N. Bettendorf. Year Shows Gains In Road Mileage Highlights in the automotive transportation picture indicate that the motor vehicle industry still ranks first and eminently important in the United States. It is observed that while production and registration dropped last year, gains were scored in total surfaced road mileage, rural highway expenditures, in gasoline consumption, and motor vehicle buses in use. The wholesale value of all automotive products of the United States and Canada still totals more than $2,159,000,000. California's leadership is still notably evident. Not only has this state the most motor vehicles per capita, with one machine for each 2.77 persons, but it was one of the few states to score a registration increase.
