HAPPY NEW YEAR VOL. LXIII LYON SUCCEEDS W. SCHUMACHER AT NEXT MEETING Few Formalities Mark Final Session for Veteran Officer; Medicos Protest Again When the board of supervisors meet next Tuesday at Santa Ana, LeRoy Lyon will take the oath of office and sit in the seat occupied for 20 years by William Schumacher of Buena Park. Aside from flowers and meagre formalities, there were few indications at the meeting last Tuesday to show the third district's veteran representative was officially sitting at his last executive session. Lyon and W., C. Jerome, named from the first district, were present to witness proceedings of the board. Principal business of the board Tuesday was consideration of Dr. H. E. Zaiser's request for an addition that would double the size of the morgue and cost between $900 and $1000. The hospital budget provided for the funds. Schumacher, in his four consecutive terms on the board of supervisors, has established an enviable record for industry, his friends claim. In that time the third district has grown to be the richest section by all odds in the county. And in the score of years as a leading county official, Schumacher has established state-wide contacts which have led to many favorable allotments for the commonwealth. Since the elec- Zaiser's request for an addition that would double the size of the morgue and cost between $900 and $1000. The hospital budget provided for the funds. Schumacher, in his four consecutive terms on the board of supervisors, has established an enviable record for industry, his friends claim. In that time the third district has grown to be the richest section by all odds in the county. And in the score of years as a leading county official, Schumacher has established state-wide contacts which have led to many favorable allotments for the commonwealth. Since the election last November when he was defeated by a margin of 700 votes, Schumacher has expressed himself as "glad it is over. Now I can attend to my own business on my own ranch." Lyon for several weeks has been preparing himself to take over the reins to be vacated on the first day of 1933 by the third district's veteran officer. Lyon has taken up the water problem, made surveys, and otherwise familiarized himself with questions which are bound to come to the fore within the next year. MEDICOS ATTACK HEALTH POLICIES If Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer, decides to defend his policy of "holding to the present program until a better plan is offered," the board of supervisors meeting two weeks hence probably will be the scene of verbal fireworks which will resound throughout the county. The Orange County Medical Society, with Dr. H. D. Newkirk of Anaheim as spokesman, again protested to the supervisors about the practices of the county health department in its immunization program. The department, through Dr. Sutherland, previously had merely defended itself by stating that it was held responsible for public health, and until a better program was produced it would continue to follow the present one. The county medicos have no quarrel with the effectiveness of the immunization program, but claim that it infringes upon the private practices of members of the society, who state that the family doctor knows better how to treat individual cases than could be the case en masse as the county is forced to do. Upon the request of Third District's LeRoy Lyon, who takes his seat with the beginning of the New Year, decision was held over for two weeks pending study of the situation. 5 Bandits Beat Rob Anaheim Man Undersheriff C. W. Riggle and Deputy L. H. Nicholson this week pondered Savings, Loan Expands Offices Mails Out $21,000 In Checks As Quarterly Interest On January 1 The Savings, Loan and Building association of Anaheim, organized in 1889 and now boasting assets of more than $2,000,000, will make its regular quarterly interest payment of $21,000 for outstanding certificates on January 1, President William T. Wallop announced this week. "The checks we will mail out on the first of the New Year represent only the quarterly payment on certificates." Mr. Wallop said. "In all our payments throughout the year are approximately $100,000 for interest alone. The association has approximately $2,000,000 loaned on local properties." Recently the association added a directors' room and conference room to the offices occupied on the Los Angeles street side of the old Bank of Italy building. The room just north of the main offices was secured, and an opening made through the partition, to provide for enlarged quarters. The association for several months has been loaning money on local property.

Nicholson this week pondered blues given them by Charles Gillis, of Lincoln avenue, who was beaten and robbed last week by five bandits. According to Gillis, he was returning home at 10 p.m. when opening his garage, he heard three pistol shots and turned to find himself covered by three masked men, one of whom carried a .32 automatic revolver. They took $62 in cash from him and demanded more. He was taken in the house. When they failed to get more money, one of the men struck him over the head so severely three stitches were needed. The men joined two others outside and drove away in a light-colored sedan. The houselock and pumphouse lock were jimmied. Two suits of clothes, silk shirts, sweater, blankets and other articles were taken from the house. Begin the New Year BY READING the Anaheim Gazette every week.

Key Witness Found Living With Sister Temporarily free and living with her twin sister in Santa Ana under the name of "Mickey Lee," Hilda Stambaugh, 18, star witness in the moral delinquency charges brought against members of the Juda Meek family, is back in jail. When officers took her to the county hospital for examination last week they left her in the waiting room. Finding herself free, she walked away unmolested. Gas Tax Split-up Is Shelved Again Proponents of the League of Municipalities plan for a split-up of the county's share of the state gasoline tax, with the cities getting a definite ratio. were thwarted in their efforts and had to accept modification which entirely eliminates the cities from a direct share. This is the news brought back by Santa Ana's J. L. McBride, following attendance at a meeting of representatives of leading civic groups at San Francisco last week. Los Angeles' John R. Quinn advanced a plan to divide the money equally between the state and the counties. This scheme won out over the proposal advanced by the League of Municipalities and the various automobile clubs, who wanted inclusion of 6664 miles of secondary highways and a split-up of county money with the cities. This increased the money the county will get from one-third to one-half, but does not affect the money to be secured from the license tax, which now is divided equally.

Practically all organized charity was placed through the department in order to avoid duplication and omission. The city presented the roasts, while the charitable work of civic groups provided the other staples which went to make for the contentment and happiness of full stomachs during the holidays. Of the total, 132 individual baskets were placed through the Unemployed Workers’ Cooperative of Anaheim, which early this week officially thanked Mrs. Price and other organizations for their help. Persons not otherwise eligible for Christmas charity were fed by the Salvation Army, which took care of 65 persons for a Christmas dinner where chicken and "all the trimmin's" were served. The night previously the Army entertained the poor children with its annual Christmas party. CRIPPLES BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS NOW Unemployment, Taxation, Economy Head Program of 2500 Bills for Legislature State Law-Makers Convene Next Monday to Consider Vast Array of New Legislation, With All Kinds of Plans Proposed for Relief of Unemployed, For Conserving Water Taxation, economy in government and unemployment relief will be the major issues before the fiftieth session of the California state legislature, which convenes at Sacramento Monday, January 2. There will be approximately 2,500 bills introduced, according to a preliminary checkup by the United Press. Of this number, about half will be passed. If Governor Rolph follows the liberal precedent he set at the 1931 session, some 1,000 will be signed and become new laws. Some of the bills will be offered by the state administration, as a result of its efforts to provide relief by advancing its public works program, increasing its highway work this winter by hiring family men 3 days a week, and establishing the state labor camps where jobless itinerants may trade work for lodging and meals at the state's expense. Other measures will be presented by the California unemployment commission, based upon its two-year study of labor conditions in California. Among the various proposals to be introduced are the following: Unemployment State bond issue of $20,000,000 to be apportioned to cities and counties for relief loans; state bond issue of $30,-000,000 to be repaid from gasoline tax revenue; department of industrial welfare to supervise loans to cities and counties; 5-day week and 6-hour day on all public works; department of industrial relations to promote spread of work long range planning and budgeting of public works to provide for periods of unemployment stress; creating A. J. McFadden Is Renamed Chairman A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana, was re-elected chairman of the inter-county farm bureau walnut department last week at the annual meeting of the executive committee held at the Walnut association, Los Angeles. Mr. McFadden is also vice-president of the California Walnut association. Andrew Smiley, Garden Grove, was re-elected secretary of the group; and John Thille, Ventura, vice-chairman. The committee set February 11 as the date for the next Southern California Walnut Growers Institute, which will be held at the No. 2 cracking plant of the Central Walnut association in Los Angeles. A timely program bearing on improved orchard management, reduced costs, and the present marketing situation is being prepared by the committee in cooperation with the Farm Advisor. CRIPPLES BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS NOW Crippled children of Orange county, 65 of them, this week chorused: "Yes, there is a Santa Claus." They know. Didn't they see him last Friday when he strolled in from nowhere during their entertainment at the Elks clubhouse? He gave corduroy trousers to the boys and wool bathrobes to the girls. And for good measure he added a lot of toys that made the youngsters' eyes pop in wonderment. The children, guests of the Lions club and the Crippled Children's association of Orange county, were taken to the Elks clubhouse at 1:30 o'clock, seated in comfortable chairs before a glowing fireplace, and entertained with music by students from the Margaret J. Buttree music studio. Donald Mills in a piano solo, Phylliss and Ethylenne Sanford in tap dances; Gertrude Hunt as vocal soloist; Duane Wilder, accompanied by Helen Pifer, in a clarinet solo; Miss Evelyn Hilgenfeld with a charming Christmas reading contributed to the happiness of the youngsters whose hopes were somewhat blighted by physical handicaps. Miss E. Kate Rea was chairman of the purchasing committee; Mrs. Tom Scott, Mrs. O. H. Renner and Miss Grace Bailey, program committee; and Mrs. E. D. White, Mrs. Earl S. Morrow, Mrs. Good Adams, Mrs. George S. Briggs, refreshments. The huge Christmas tree was donated by Fremont school and trimmed by the Elks club. M. E. Beebe was instructed not to tell who was Santa Claus. Question! Will It Be Wet New Year's Eve Anaheim has had all kinds of weather during the past week. When Jupiter Pluvius peered round some clouds last Friday morning he threatened to dampen the spirits of business men as well as the streets, and put the skids under the last-minute shoppers. But after spilling .14 of an inch of rain, Pluvius made a timely bow to Old Sol. Followed a week of moderate temperature and lots of sunshine, with Wednesday giving indications of a Santa Ana. Old timers figured that the customary three-days for a Santa Ana would make the weather New Year's eye, quiesable.

TAKEN FOR RIDE" TO COUNCIL MEET F. A. YUNGBLUTH, prominent Anaheim merchant, property-owner and civic leader, was taken by Chief of Police "for a ride" to council meeting, following his unanimous election Tuesday evening. YUNGBLUTH IS APPOINTED TO CITY COUNCIL Unanimously Chosen to Succeed Fred Koesel; Lauded for Civic Leadership Councilman F. A. Yungbluth, following his unanimous election to fill the unexpired term of Fred T. Koesel, was ordered brought to the council chambers in the city hall by Chief of Police James S. Bouldin Tuesday evening. He was sworn in by City Clerk John C. Price, amid loud applause of the other members of the council and persons attending the council meeting. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Yungbluth expressed sorrow at the death of his great and good friend, Mayor Koesel, which left a void in civic leadership that would be hard to fill. However, he expressed his willingness to do his best to carry on the civic program often outlined to him by Mayor Koesel and to work for the best interests of the community. Represents All Elements Councilman Leo Sheridan nominated Mr. Yungbluth, pointing out his close association with Mr. Koesel. "Mr. Yungbluth represents all the important elements in the city," Councilman Sheridan said. "He is in close contact with the business men of the city, he has lived here and grown up with the community and knows its problems as few... LIQUOR QUESTION IS STILL WITH US Editorial In Gazette in 1908 Tells of Campaign to Close Saloons On Sunday Just as congress is wrangling over beer, and California grape growers are yelling for wine, Anaheim 25 years ago was fighting over whether or not saloons should be forced to close on Sunday. A campaign for closing saloons was successful at an election in 1908. It was then for the first time that Anaheim's "milky way," an elaborate array of disappearing, fading and blinking electric lights on not less than a dozen saloons, was dark for one night a week. Indicative of the interest taken in the subject is the following editorial, taken from the files of the Gazette for January 9, 1908: "We had the pleasure of meeting on Thursday last, those two well-known newspaper workers, Harry C. Carr and E. W. Gale Jr., of the Los Angeles Times, who were in town gathering data for the illustrated article which appeared in the Times on Friday morning relative to the question of closing saloons on Sunday. Mr. Carr is one of the best known newspaper writers on the coast, and his forceful manner of handling things has brought him renowned from one end of the state to the other. While at Sacramento a year ago, during the session of the legislature, his criticisms of the wooley methods of legislators brought him into at least one physical encounter with a pack of up-state lawmakers, and his nervy handling of the San Francisco carmen's strike last spring made him a man marked for assassination by the strikers. We had pictured him a man of powerful physique, tall, raw-boned, angular, red-whiskered, and with hair on his teeth; capable of putting away Mr. Attell with the ease which characterizes the average reporter's putting away a limburger sandwich. Imagine our surprise at finding him to be an undersized lad with the manners and speech of a highschool girl, calling for sarsaparilla and iron at the fountains where men quench their thirst. For we had never seen this slip of a lad before. Mr. Carr will be welcomed to our city when he comes again; but Artist Gale, we fear, had better not come again. His pictures of the three of the leading participants in the Sun-ever, he expressed his willingness to do his best to carry on the civic program often outlined to him by Mayor Koesel and to work for the best interests of the community. Represents All Elements Councilman Leo Sheridan nominated Mr. Yungbluth, pointing out his close association with Mr. Koesel. "Mr. Yungbluth represents all the important elements in the city," Councilman Sheridan said. "He is in close contact with the business men of the city, he has lived here and grown up with the community and knows its problems as few of us do. His operation of one of the most successful stores in the city brings him in contact with laborers, who have high respect for his honest and fair opinions. Mr. Yungbluth, I believe, is the very person we need to carry on the work so admirably advanced by Mayor Koesel." The motion was seconded by Councilman John Cook. Immediately after the election of Mr. Yungbluth, Mayor Charles Mann instructed Chief Bouldin to bring the new councilman to the meeting. Large Property Holder Mr. Yungbluth has been identified in the men's clothing business in Anaheim for two-score years and has developed one of the outstanding businesses of its kind in the county. Succeeding in business, he purchased large property holdings and became interested in the Anaheim Building and Loan association, of which he is president and one of the largest stockholders. He is a past president of the Anaheim chamber of commerce, and in many ways has been actively identified with the civic development of the community. At an informal business session after the formalities of inducing Councilman Yungbluth, the council heard and adopted a resolution of intention to close a portion of North Vine street, in the Kroeger subdivision. The road has never been used. Application of Carma's Spanish Kitchen for a liquor license was filed. Mayor Mann appointed the following committees, which were ratified by the council: Finance, Councilmen Sheridan, Martenet Jr., and Yungbluth; ordinance, Councilmen Yungbluth, Sheridan and Cook; public improvement, Councilmen Cook, Martenet Jr., and Yungbluth; police, light and water, Councilmen Martenet Jr., Sheridan and Cook. The mayor will act as an ex-officio member of all committees. Angel Rodriguez Is Refused Probation Angel Rodriguez, out on parole from a conviction as burglar in Los Angeles, just couldn't be good. He stole a phonograph from the Atwood school, according to the findings of an Orange county jury. Superior Judge H. G. Amos last Friday morning refused probation and Groom McFadden As Commissioner Thomas L. McFadden, Anaheim attorney and Placentia orange grower, looms as successor to Leon Whitsell of Orange on the state railway commission. Action to secure McFadden's appointment was started this week by the Placentia chamber of commerce and immediately was taken up by a legion of friends throughout Southern California. Whitsell is a candidate to succeed himself, while Santa Monica's Hugh Evans is reported to be seeking the position. McFadden was born in Placentia and reared in Orange county. He was graduated from Placentia grammar schools, Fullerton union high school, and Stanford university. At the latter institution he won his letters in football and coached at Oregon and DePauw universities. He was admitted to the bar in 1903, returning to Anaheim from a four-year term as city attorney at Bellingham, Washington, in 1907, where he became associated with Homer G. Ames, now a superior judge. He now is senior member of the firm of McFadden, Holden and Gallagher.
