After a two-month train tour of the United States, during which time they visited relatives in Florida, Kansas and Maryland, Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

Since 1893 the Merritts have made their home in Anaheim. They arrived here from Chicago in that year, Mr. Merritt became associated in the fruit shipping business, later joining a local furniture store. In 1900 he was elected by one-vote majority to the city clerkship of Anaheim, remaining continuously in that office for eight successive terms and was elected for a ninth in April, 1932, but resigned a month later in order to care for pressing private business and because of ill health. The Merritts were married March 14, 1883, at Kansas City, Mr. Merritt was employed in a bank when he took Miss Adaliza Boardman as his bride. They moved to Chicago several years later, where they rode tandem bicycles through the streets of the "Windy City." Three children, Bowman, Edward Jr., and Eva, were born at Chicago.

She has 26 deputies on her staff. Early California History Studied Las Amigas Club Hears Story of Anza’s Trail-Blazing to California Members of the Las Amigas Study club this week had a more intimate knowledge of California's early history, as a result of the appearance Tuesday afternoon of Mrs. George William Beattie of San Bernardino before the club to talk on "Re-opening the Anza Road," a comprehensive story requiring three years of intensive research by her husband before it was published in a recent number of the Pacific Historical Review. The club met at the home of Mrs. C. W. Austin at 310 North West street. Mrs. Beattie explained the difficulties her husband had in obtaining original and authentic information for his work. He secured 100 photostats of documents in the Newberry library at Chicago and the Bancroft library, with considerable work on translating necessary before the true story of the trail which Juan Bautista de Anza found could be told. The speaker declared that some day Anza would be looked upon with as much importance to California history, as George Washington is to American history. Anza blazed the first overland route from Mexico to California, making two major trips. The road was abandoned for 50 years because of trouble with Indians. Methods of carrying messages were told. The Cocomaricopa Indians served as messengers in some instances, while Don Jose Romero found a route south of that used by the Indians. A path to San Diego finally was discovered and used for many years as a mail route. The speaker told how Butterfield stages, for a fare of $100 would take passengers from San Francisco over the 2100 miles of treacherous frontier land to St. Louise in a maximum of 25 days. Quake Damage Not To Exceed $75,000 (Continued from page 1) tumbled into roof of Brownblit Shoe store and Weber Book Store, with the shoe store suffering the most damage. Bricks cleared away and portion of wall ordered torn down to first floor and reconstructed. Weber store opened for business Tuesday; sufficient repairs made for safety on that date. Orange County School of Fine Arts, which has been housed in the historic old Charles Schindler residence is the only structure condemned as a result of the earthquake. It was a show in the gay '90's. California building, Center at Los Angeles: One column on northeast corner ordered torn down nearly to ground; front portion facing Center torn down to and rebuilt from the first story. Rear of building safe and structurally sound. Shaw apartments: Occupants moved back Saturday. Structure sound, with considerable repairs to firewalls and other damaged sections ordered, and underway. Golden State bank building, north-east corner Center at Los Angeles; Top portion at corner ordered rebuilt. Stores below safe. A score of buildings throughout the city lost portions of their firewalls, with the falling brick and plaster making an appearance of damage considerably in excess of the actual amount. The firewall on the Angelina hotel will need some repairs; workmen were busy Monday and Tuesday on the firewall at the Rutteel-Smith Furniture company; sections of the firewall on the Southern County bank building, the brick structure housing Glen A. Peck Studebaker agency on South Palm; Sam Kraemer building, the structure which formerly housed the George Larsen drug store at Clementine and Center; and a dozen others suffered minor damages. Many plate glass windows were shattered in... posed the unemployed approach the county, which under law, is empowered to give relief to the unemployed. To this Hartwell also objected on the ground that such aid is insufficient. Hartwell countered with a proposal that all city employees donate a certain percentage of their salaries every month, and then suggested that the police department hire a policeman from among the unemployed. Mayor Mann stated the council would take the unemployed group's proposals under consideration, bringing out the quick query from Hartwell, "When may we expect an answer?" Councilman Sheridan suggested Hartwell adopt a different attitude, because his tendency to demand certainly would not be looked upon as favorably as a request.

Miss Marjorie Carlisle in a clever little play, "Courtship Under Difficulties" was presented by Mrs. H. G. Carlin, program chairman. The April meeting tentatively is arranged for Miss Janss' cabin at Silverado canyon, with Mrs. Ida Dutton as chairman. The study section meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Dora Pearson, with Mrs. William Gathas as chairman. Waynick Explains Citrus Problems By D. D. WAYNICK Chairman of Farm Bureau Inter-County Valencia Stabilization Committee It is necessary to limit the shipments of fruit of packed fruit grade to domestic markets in crop years such as 1932 and 1933. This is true because the normal cullage of inferior fruits is not large enough to adjust the supply to demand at a level which will bring a reasonable return to the producer. Agricultural producers must recognize the fact that it is necessary to adjust supply to meet the demand for their products in years of large production and reduced buying power. The problem is not one of production alone. This is especially true of citrus fruits because of the high costs which must be paid in packing and transportation before any returns can be realized to even pay the cost of production. Dr. H. R. Wellman, economist of the University of California, has very definitely indicated that a reduction of 20 per cent in the packed fruit shipments of last year would have resulted in an increase of more than 40 per cent in the net returns receivied by the grower or over $3,000,000 additional to Orange county alone. There is no substitute for the extension of the markets for citrus fruits through every possible agency; but in years of low consumer buying power a larger percentage of the crop than represented by culls alone must be left at home if even reasonably satisfactory returns are to be received. Quake Victim Is Buried Wednesday Lucero and Gonzales, dry goods merchants who operated a store in Anaheim for several years, this week pre-appearance of damage considerably in excess of the actual amount. The firewall on the Angelina hotel will need some repairs; workmen were busy Monday and Tuesday on the firewall at the Riutcel-Slith Furniture company; sections of the firewall on the Southern County bank building, the brick structure housing Glen A. Peck Studebaker agency on South Palm; Sam Kraemer building, the structure which formerly housed the George Larsen drug store at Clementine and Center; and a dozen others suffered minor damages. Many plate glass windows were shattered in the quake, most being replaced by Wednesday. Several stores suffered considerable damage when goods from the shelves near the walls were knocked down. The damage was most severe in cases where fluids were spilled out of bottles, although in no case was any store in Anaheim badly damaged through loss of stock. Even the two shoe stores which had their roofs caved in because of failing firewalls, suffered only comparatively light damage to stock, because the shoes were next to the walls of the store, where they were untouched by the debris. Streets and stores were well cleaned up and ready for business by Monday. Only a few scattered instances of bricks remaining on the sidewalks, or of broken glass were seen by that time. Damage in the residential section was confined almost entirely to loss of chimneys. Abandoned Artesian Wells Begin Flowing Artesian wells which have not flowed for 20 to 30 years on the D. O. Stewart ranch, near Huntington Beach, began flowing after the earthquake Friday. Casing from some of the wells had been removed, making the matter of capping them difficult. The result was that several acres were flooded before the wells could be stopped. W. J. Newland, who has a ranch near Huntington Beach, found every well on his place, which number seven or eight, running. Five have not flowed for 15 or 20 years. All of the wells which have started flowing are in the Santa Ana valley between Talbert an dthe mouth of the Santa Ana river. None in the Wintersburg and Westminster districts have been reported. Springs have bubbled up in fields where no springs were known to exist and fields were inundated. A. B. Gonzales to Manage Store Here skirt top there is a fullness remindful of Gibson-girl days. The sleeve tells its own story, a fullness at elbow which makes for comfort. An "Eleanore" blue with white crepe bodice, worn with a jaunty blue bow and hat make a most interesting spring appeal. The silk-print suit may be worn with or without the jacket. There are short, slightly puffed, three-quarter sleeves in the dress. The jacket fastens at the neck with a bow tie of self material. It may be in as bright patterns as the wearer wishes in ushering in the new season. Quake Victim Is Buried Wednesday Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the Backs, Terry & Campbell parlors here for George Stones, 42, of Artesia, who was killed in the earthquake. Burial followed at the family plot at Artesia cemetery. A. B. Gonzales to Manage Store Here Lucero and Gonzales, dry goods merchants who operated a store in Anaheim for several years, this week prepared to re-open at 136 East Center street, bringing merchandise from their two Santa Ana establishments.
