Is Now In Its 62d Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIII COUNCIL TAKES UP EMERGENCY RELIEF STUDY Proposes Repair Work On City Improvements to Aid 300 Unemployed Emergency measures for the relief of the unemployed were under consideration by members of the city council this week as requests were sent our for Mrs. Mona Price, in charge of administering city welfare work; Miss Price, city nurse; heads of the Red Cross chapter and other relief organizations of the city to meet with the "city fathers" next Tuesday evening. The council, petitioned by more than 300 unemployed of the city, last Tuesday evening decided to hear direct reports from all welfare organizations and share with them, if necessary, the responsibility of caring for the needy of the community. While only a portion of the men making applications can be accommodated through regular channels, the trustees speeded up action on the regularly-budgeted water pipe laying. Preliminary work on this project may start as early as Monday, along similar relief plans as adopted last winter when several thousands of dollars were spent to further the program of pipe-laying. The council instructed its public improvement committee to make an immediate survey of the sidewalks, streets THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving this year is more significant than observations might indicate. In times of adverse weather character of a people is expressed, and the American to Thanksgiving this year probably closer to our honored Pilgrim fathers than in many observances. There is something strangely parallel with Thanksgiving this year, and the original Thanksgiving on the New England 300 years ago. The Pilgrims, buffet responsibility of caring for the needy of the community. While only a portion of the men making applications can be accommodated through regular channels, the trustees speeded up action on the regularly-budgeted water pipe laying. Preliminary work on this project may start as early as Monday, along similar relief plans as adopted last winter when several thousands of dollars were spent to further the program of pipe-laying. The council instructed its public improvement committee to make an immediate survey of the sidewalks, streets and other public improvements within the community and be ready to report at the next meeting on the advisability of repairs, as one measure of helping the jobless. According to plans discussed informally by the councilmen, the unemployed would be given a nominal wage for their work, the idea being merely to keep the "wolf from the door" of the unemployed. The council did not determine the amount of money it would spend for such emergency measures, nor set any limitations on the amount of or particular type of work to be done. Students In Riot After Grid Game Lance and Teacher Queh Riots By Use of Tear Bombs and Water Hose School spirit took too boisterous a method of expressing itself Saturday afternoon at Polly field, Santa Ana. When Fullerton high school students swarmed onto the field to take away the goal posts after the Santa Ana high school football team had whitewashed the Fullertonians, 14-0. Resisted by Santa Ana high school students, who were supposed to have had the run of the field after their victory, fist fights became the order of the day, until police with tear gas bombs made participating fighters look like a weeping delegation. A high school teacher grabbed a hose and sprinkled cold water on the over-enthusiastic student mob, assisting in cooling and dampening the spirits of a score or more who succumbed to the mob psychology. Police Commissioner E. G. Warmer, who went onto the field to quell the riot, was man-handled, but announced Monday that no arrests were made, and none would be on account of the over exuberance of the students. However, school authorities pondered the advisability of breaking off athletic relations. Wets Drys Put Thanksgiving this year is more significant than any observations might indicate. In times of adverse true character of a people is expressed, and the American to Thanksgiving this year probably becomes closer to our honored Pilgrim fathers than in many observances. There is something strangely parallel with Thanksgiving this year, and the original Thanksgiving on the New England 300 years ago. The Pilgrims, buffeted in European religious strife, were thankful when able to worship in peace in the New World. Physi ships were endured with the complacence of a people thoughts had turned to higher things. While they battle a cold climate, making farms on rocky soil, and exist without the meagre comforts of civil material progress, they lifted their eyes to help thanked God for the blessings bestowed upon them; were spiritual blessings. They fed and comforted. Years of business adversity throughout the world this Thanksgiving especially significant. Lack of progress has turned our thoughts from the physical of civilization's faltering path to the true road of Many of us are beginning to realize that we are without the hangings-on of "fair-weather friends" some of the so-called riches which led us to social and business paces that we forgot to look contemplative and spiritual life. We are settling because of economic necessity, to a more leisurely tion of nature's gifts to man, to enjoying the com­of our families, relatives, close friends, books and development. These are worthwhile.

Wets, Drys Put Board "On Spot" Orange county's board of supervisors is "on the spot," so far as the wet and dry interests of the county are concerned. Last Tuesday the Anaheim Bottling works through Paul Poullier petitioned the supervisors to handle beverages if and when the Volstead act is modified to permit it. James Detrixhe of Santa Ana also asked for the same privilege. The Orange County Board of Strategy and individual dry supporters throughout the county in petitions exactly alike requested the board to continue enforcement of dry ordinances.

Griffith succeeds Orv Mohler as starting quarterback for the Trojans, following the latter's retirement from play because of neck injuries; received a month ago in the game with Stanford. Griffith's sudden rise to gridiron heights on the Pacific coast has been sensational. Rosenberg recently was ranked by Mohler as the playing equal of Johnny Baker, the running guard who kicked the field goal a year ago that broke Notre Dame's string of 27 victories, and thereby won All-American honors. Filipino Youth Is Guilty of Robbery Pacifico Del Rosario, Filipino youth who was convicted by a jury Monday of charges of robbery, will face Superior Judge James Allen December 2 on his application for probation. The jury was out only 25 minutes in arriving at its decision. Charges were brought by Adriano Selanova of Garden Grove that Del Rosario took $239 from him at the point of a knife while riding in an automobile between Long Beach and Garden Grove. Selanova had drawn the money out of a Long Beach bank with the intention of buying an automobile at Garden Grove.

AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1932 MUSE MUSES ABOUT DEVIL OF SIERRAS California's oddest freak of nature—Mephistopheles of the Mountains—has been found glaring down on the trail Kit Carson took in coming to California. The discoverer of the freak is E. M Muse of the state highway department. He was climbing among the rocks of the high ridge that rises between Amador and Alpine counties, when, in making a turn around the nose of a cliff, he beheld the demoniac ensemble. Struck by the leering profile, the sinister sneer, the horn on the head and wart on the nose, the protruding beak, heavy eyelid and set jaw, Muse mused and mused. Here was a stone creature craved out of nature's handwork with trueness to life in relative size and proportion of facial features. Here was a Devil's head of black lava measuring seven feet from chin to crown. In fact, here was nature's queerest sight in this region, as proved by the photograph now on file with the state highway commission. The cosmic upheaval overlooks Capels Creek canyon and the forbidding volcanic jungle of Hell's Delight, from an elevation of 8500 feet. Local Man Named League Secretary George W. Sloop Chosen Officer of Southern California LEO SHERIDAN HEADS COUNTY GAS TAX GROUP Elected President As Unit of California League of Municipalities Orange county's incorporated cities, by the organization of their representatives and election of Anaheim's Leo J. Sheridan as president, this week were in line with similar groups in other counties in a state-wide move to split state gasoline taxes more equitably between cities and rural districts. Within the next three weeks President Sheridan will call a second meeting of the Orange county branch of the California League of Municipalities, where further steps in the state-wide program will be taken. Sheridan was elected president Thursday evening.. November 17, when representatives of nine out of the 13 incorporated cities of Orange county met at Ketner's cafe, Santa Ana, at the call of Mayor Paul Whitmer of Santa Ana. Preliiminary plans were laid to co-operate with other county groups in laying before the legislature at its next session a proposal to redistribute proceeds of the state gasoline tax, giving cities a larger percentage than they now receive. Representatives from Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin, San Clemente, Local Man Named League Secretary George W. Sloop Chosen Officer of Southern California Izaak Walton Group George W. Sloop of Anaheim was named secretary of the Southern California Izaak Walton league, at its meeting in Fullerton Monday night. Charles P. Teevin of Hollywood, president of the Los Angeles county council, was named president, and Leigh Thompson of Upland, secretary. The 50 representatives present supported a resolution presented through representatives of the Santa Barbara chapter urging better fire protection in that territory, and calling attention to the devastation of the recent fires. Retiring President Vasbinder made a detailed report on work of the Izaak Waltonians, and as chairman of the conservation committee of the State Chamber of Commerce, also said the state chamber has given backing to the various projects of the Waltonians in their conservation work. Recommendations that the California Fish and Game Commission place sword fish on the game fish list with reasonable limits: that the deportation of sword-fish from California be prohibited; and that all minors be required to take out fishing licenses, were adopted at the meeting. Alleged abuses of minors in trout fishing in mountain streams, resulting in the wanton destruction of considerable amount of trout, is the reason for the restriction sought on youngsters by requiring them to have licenses, it was explained. The next meeting will be held in Fullerton in January. Japanese Wrestling Demonstrated Here Roy Kanegoe, Clarence Nishizu, George Nagmatsu and Yaja Yamada gave a demonstration of Japanese wrestling at the 20-30 club meeting in the Knights of Pythias hall Monday evening. Yamada, trainer from Japan devoting his time to Japanese born in the United States, directed the wrestling, on the program arranged through Earl C. Jackson and Kiyoshi Shinkawa. The club will participate in the December 2 dinner in honor of the high school football team. The dinner is sponsored by the various civic clubs of elected president Thursday evening, November 17, when representatives of nine out of the 13 incorporated cities of Orange county met at Ketner's cafe, Santa Ana, at the call of Mayor Paul Whitmer of Santa Ana. Preliminary plans were laid to co-operate with other county groups in laying before the legislature at its next session a proposal to redistribute proceeds of the state gasoline tax, giving cities a larger percentage than they now receive. Representatives from Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin, San Clemente, Fullerton, Brea, La Habra, and Placentia attended the initial meeting. Those attending from Anaheim, in addition to Sheridan, were John W. Price, city clerk; M. W. Martenet Jr., councilman; President Charles Pearson and Secretary George W. Reid of the Anaheim chamber of commerce. According to the resolution adopted by the League of California Municipalities on September 29, 1832, the objectives of the league are: 1. Inclusion of 6,624 miles of highways in the state highway system, in order to relieve county supervisors of the expense of construction, maintenance, reconstruction or widening of these secondary highways. This proposal is backed by the two state-wide automobile clubs. The Anaheim city council several weeks ago adopted a resolution approving this plan, providing Lincoln avenue, West and East Center streets, and North and South Los Angeles streets included in the scheme. This program would be carried out from present revenues, instead the highway department building many miles of practically useless roads in sparsely settled districts of the state. 2. Continuance of the apportionment of one-third of the total proceeds of the three-cent gasoline tax to the counties, but a redistribution of the county money to the cities on the basis of registration of motor vehicles. Under this plan, three-fourths of the apportionment to the cities would go to the cities under the same restrictions on expenditures as now exists for similar county expenditures; one-fourth of the apportionment to go to the county. During the past year Orange county received $79,185.18 as half of the motor vehicle license tax, and $224,861.70 from its portion of the gasoline tax. Based on percentage of automobiles in the incorporated communities, Anaheim would receive $30,137; Fullerton, $30,-137; Huntington Beach, $16,203; Santa Ana, $89,112; Orange, $25,925; and Laguna Beach, $6480, of that amount, were the proposal of the municipality league in effect during the past year.

Last Sunday, while he and his 13-year-old playmate, Lawrence Theis, were out hunting, they stopped to play near the Randolph packing house. They were having lots of fun climbing upon and getting off a pile of boxes, when suddenly Sammy slipped. The gun he carried went off. Lawrence fell, shot through the heart, the bullet entering between the third and fourth rigs. Sammy, in desperation, attempted to carry his playmate to help, but the effort was too great. He ran nearly a mile to the nearest place he could get help, the home of C. C. Crookshank, of Brea, from where Dr. Glen Curtis and Dr. W. E. Jackson were called. Lawrence was taken to the Fullerton general hospital where the physicians worked desperately to check the flow of blood. For a time it looked as if their efforts would be successful. But the flow began at midnight again. Lawrence died at 3 a.m. Monday. Sammy was prostrated. The nervous shock of seeing his chum die through an accident in which he himself was involved was almost too much. Doctors M. O. D. Sets New Mark During '32 Bonus System of Payment to Officials Abolished at Redlands Meeting At the annual meeting of the members of Mutual Orange Distributors, one of the largest and oldest citrus cooperative marketing organizations of California, held recently at Redlands, the report covering the season's business for 1931-1932 revealed that the cooperative for the year, with two exceptions, had the largest tonnage in its history of over a quarter of a century. The shipments for the season exceeded by 1,000,000 boxes those for 1929-1930 and were 1,814,298 boxes in excess of the output for 1924-1925. The report stated that more than 3,000 new acres became affiliated with member-associations in 1931-1932, and that three packing associations, MacDonald and Rooke, of Lindsay, Fullerton Cooperative Orange association and Fillmore Cooperative Orange and Lemon association, applied for and were admitted to membership. The first named packing group is a consolidation of Native Sons Orchards company and B. G. Rooke, of Lindsay. Abolishes Bonus System The bonus system of payment to officials was abolished, the report announces. In line with its policy of economy adopted last year, the cooperative again made a drastic cut in salaries. According to the report the Mutual Orange Distributors made a substantial refund to all members and under its present reduced operating costs will be in a position to continue such refunds in the future. Through the efforts of the traffic department, the cost of ice in California was lowered from $4.00 to $3.50 per ton. Railroad claims filed totaled 1,983, amounting to $64,955.00. Claims adjusted amounted to $67,374.09, all of which accrued to members. The business done by the supply department of the Mutual Orange Distributors in money was $949,641.42, which represented an increase of 12½ per cent in tonnage over 1930-1931. This department announced a substantial reduction in the price of box shoek for he could get help, the home of C. C. Crookshank, of Brea, from where Dr. Glen Curtis and Dr. W. E. Jackson were called. Lawrence was taken to the Fullerton general hospital where the physicians worked desperately to check the flow of blood. For a time it looked as if their efforts would be successful. But the flow began at midnight again. Lawrence died at 3 a.m. Monday. Sanmy was prostrated. The nervous shock of seeing his chum die through an accident in which he himself was involved was almost too much. Doctors feared for the health of Sammy: The fact that the coroner's jury which held an inquest Tuesday morning at McAulay and Suters' funeral home in Fullerton absolved Sammy of all blame, didn't lessen the lad's sorrow. Autopsy surgeons announced that the bullet had pierced Lawrence's heart. Lawrence was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Theis of 102 Flower street, Brea. He is survived by his parents, and two sisters, Helene and Quita. Hope To Sell 10,000 Tickets Big Benefit Barbecue Sponsored by Legion to Aid Orange County Jobless Anaheim members of the American Legion this week pushed the ticket sale for the gigantic benefit barbecue to be staged at Irvine park Sunday, December 4, for the aid of Orange county unemployed. Garden Grove's Fred R. Dukes is heading the committee in charge, with the Orange county council of the legion sponsoring it. The committee hopes to sell 10,000 tickets at 35 cents each, from which it would raise substantial revenue for the aid of the jobless. Dukes this week sent out the following announcement: "The American Legion in Orange county desires to take this manner to call the attention of all Legionnaires. service clubs and individual citizens of this county to the great need for staple groceries in the various unemployed associations commissaries in this county." "The American Legion has taken the lead to aid these citizens who are most unfortunate in being without work..

Gauer. Purpose of the soup sale is to give the students something hot to eat with their cold lunches. Schools serving hot soup are Fremont, Lincoln, George Washington, Broadway and Horace Mann. Between 40 and 50 children daily take advantage of the service. Plans are underway to furnish soup to children unable to purchase it, Gauer states. Postal Officials Refuse Re-Routing "In view of conditions of the postal budget it is not deemed advisable to incur additional expense which would be involved were the proposed route authorized," a communication from the second assistant postmaster general at Washington, D.C., to Secretary George Reid of the Anaheim chamber of commerce reads. The letter was in response to the chamber's request that a "star route" service be established to operate from Fullerton via Anaheim and Orange to Santa Ana for the purpose of speeding delivery of local mail arriving from the East. "The American Legion has taken the lead to aid these citizens who are most unfortunate in being without work. This committee feels that they deserve the patriotic support of every American in all cities and communities in this county in selling 10,000 tickets for the barbecue and entertainment program to be staged Sunday, December 4, at Irvine Park.
