Colony’s “Growing Pains” Disclosed In Minutes of Water Company; Cactus Fence Completion Sought by Ex-superintendent Complaints About Water and Ditches Receive Prompt Attention of Board of Directors of Water Company; Lots Sold and Money Received, with Precedent Set for Future Sales Through February and March of 1863 the colony of Anaheim struggled through numerous "growing pains." Complaints natural to the development of the community were made with the directors of the Anaheim Water company. Some of these complaints took on a tinge of neighborhood quarrels over digging of ditches which interfered with another's irrigating, the refusal to receive water when asked, and other minor matters that seemed to get prompt attention of the directors. George Hansen, who has been super-intendent of the colony during its inception and through the first two years of its existence, made a pertinent suggestion on completing the cactus fence around the colony, letting the contract out to the lowest bidder.

I protest against any future sale of water alleys, as they are valuable to the company for ditches, as well as protecting stockholders from disputes over property lines and fences. Respectively submitted, H. Bremermann.

Scrofield, Los Movies to Show Correct Method Officer Announces New Plan to Interest Children In Safety Measures Believing that school children, who themselves will be the actors in a series of "shots" to be made to illustrate the message of safety, will be more interested in motion pictures showing the right and wrong way of riding a bicycle, getting off buses, walking across the streets, and other methods of behavior, State Highway Patrolman George Peterkin has purchased a motion picture camera, he announced recently. He plans to take the pictures at various Orange county schools, and show them to students of all the schools in the commonwealth. "It is my opinion that the movies will impress the children more than the talks or the diagrams," said the officer. "Many of them will have the trill of working in the pictures and all children would prefer to see the parts played by other children. I will 'shoot' scenes in as many schools as possible and it is my hope to produce something worth while." In addition to the schools, outside of the cities, Peterkin has 110 school bushes under his jurisdiction. It also is one of his duties to prosecute drivers not only in obeying the laws themselves, but in helping to bring to justice those who ignore them. Operators who ignore school zone signs and otherwise menace the lives of children should be reported to the motor vehicle bureau or to local police officers, Peterkin said. If we can teach the children to do the sensible thing when encountering traffic and bring the driver to a sense of his responsibility toward the child, accidents of this kind will be reduced to a minimum," the officer predicted.
