Gauer of the Anaheim elementary schools Monday night recommended organization of a junior high school. Relative to this proposal, the superintendent in his annual report said: "It is hoped that some day such a program might be achieved, with a consolidation, perhaps, of all or part of the Anaheim union high school district. Not that such a program would be any cheaper, but that Anaheim might participate as do some of the other cities, in the matter of state aid along this line. Furthermore, the state of California has been assuming that junior high schools would be installed, and as a consequence have practically stopped furnishing seventh and eighth grade texts, making the districts furnish at least a part of these books. Should the state legislature see fit to place the seventh and eighth grade pupils in the same category as the high (Continued on page 8) MRS J.

He left here because of poor health, regained his health and resumed teaching in the neighbor state. Mrs. Walker had been with her sister-in-law for several weeks past, where she was under the care of a specialist. She is survived by her widower; one son, Franklin, of San Diego; two daughters, Mrs Mary E. Magill of Views Christ In Light of Present Pastor Declares Danger Lies In Confusing Historical and Essential Christ Rev. S. E. Schrader of the Salem Evangelical church views with alarm the confusion of the historical Christ with the essential Christ. He stressed the great danger of "confusing what He did with what He does" in his sermon at the union services given in the city park amphi-theatre Sunday evening under the sponsorship of the Ministerial union. His text was Luke 19:10, and declared the purpose of Christ is in the scriptural passage "For the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." "We must remember that 'He is the same yesterday, today and forever' and because He did something in the past He is doing something in the present. Jesus is the present savior of men," the pastor declared. "Our interpretation of salvation too often has been to save men from hell. Jesus saw a deeper significance. He desires to save men from hell for heaven and also to save men now for the purpose of their existence. "The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. But Jesus saw that men were not glorifying God. "The devastating force at work is sinning life's powers, deranging its faculties, controlling its instincts, misguiding its impulses, imprisoning its capacities, breaking its most helpful fellowship, nullifying its destinies. Jesus' great purpose is to break the devastating power of sin and to save men to the purpose of their being. "Sin has placed a chasm or gulf between man and God. To save men from sin, Jesus, by His incarnation, His life and death, has built a bridge by which men may be saved. That bridge will stand as long as the work of redemption continues. No power can destroy it. That part of redemption is finished. But Jesus is not satisfied only with building the bridge; He also helps men to cross it. He says, 'I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the father but by me.' To the end that all those who have not yet crossed the bridge may accept the invitation to 'come,' Jesus keeps open the way of salvation." Ted Kuchel Views Sally Rand’s Dance As “Not As Rude But Just As Nude” As Told Sally Rand’s a la September Morn dance is the best publicity stunt the cinemactress ever tried, in the opinion of Ted Kuchel, who was besieged by local friends for his expert opinion upon his return from Chicago Sunday afternoon. “I’ve seen many chorus girls whom I believe are prettier,” he said, “but they didn’t think of the brilliant stunt of dropping their fans just as their acts closed, or they might have been movie queens by now. Sally’s dance isn’t as rude but is just as nude as press reports from the windy city state. It is staged under the name ‘art’ but I’ve seen more artful presentations with a lot more apparel in evidence.” “I believe she dotes on the publicity she is receiving. When the Chicago patrolmen and patrolwomen went snooping around to see if the lone fan in front and the lone fan in the rear hid everything, Sally’s popularity grew by leaps and bounds. Her act had ‘gone over’ just as surely as a banning of any writer’s book by the Boston library assures it a place as one of the six best sellers. Public curiosity is that way. “Now that Sally is fined $25 and instructed to wear panties and a brassiere she probably will land a contract in vaudeville or get a big offer from the talkies.” Stolen Auto’s Rear Cushion Is Missing Only a rear seat cushion was missing from the car stolen from in front of Ernest Sawyer’s residence Saturday night, police reported upon finding the machine Tuesday. Crippled Children Directors to Meet Directors of the Orange County Crippled Children’s Relief association will hold their regular meeting Friday noon at Fullerton, President E. S. Morrow announces. Theatre Guild To Repeat “Uncle Tom” The Little Theatre Guild of Orange county will present “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” at the Fullerton union high school auditorium Friday night at 7:45 o’clock, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows and Rebekah lodges of Fullerton. The Guild recently gave the same play in Anaheim at the St. Michael Episcopal church benefit, with Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector, directing. The group has been invited to repeat the play at several other places. Mrs. D. Howard Dow Studies Literature Mrs. D. Howard Dow, wife of the rector of St. Michael’s Episcopal church, returned to her Anaheim home Wednesday after completing a six-week summer school course at the University of California at Los Angeles where she studied technicalities of writing under Dr. Louis Brown, former Jewish rabbi and author of several “best sellers,” and a course in literature under Prince Lubinof, of former Russian royalty. Dr. Waynick Attends Industry Code Meet Dr. D. D. Waynick will go to Los Angeles early next week to attend the second of a series of conferences to draw up a tentative code for citrus industry operation under NRA. The meeting this week was devoted to writing many features of the proposed code. COUNTY BUDGET HEARING BOOKED FOR AUGUST 18 School Charges Shifted To State Account for $950,975 of $1,064,172 Reduction Public hearing on the Orange county budget for 1933-34 calling for $1,884,-046 will be held at the board of supervisors' quarters on August 18. The law requires the budget be adopted not later than August 20. The proposed budget as submitted to the supervisors by County Auditor W. T. Lambert Tuesday represents an actual reduction of $1,064,172 from the $2,948,217 total of last year. On the basis of the proposed budget, the inside county tax rate will be 90 cents instead of $1.55 last year, and the outside county tax rate $1.04 as compared with $1.77. Shift of mandatory county elementary and high school costs to the state under the Riley-Stewart plan accounts for practically all of the reduction, although there was a substantial slash in appropriations for county salaries, and the cut of 11½ per cent in assessed valuation represents a proportionate reduction in the tax schedule. Mandatory school taxes last year amounted to $950,975, while mandatory state contributions to the county were $787,714, less than the $950,975 of which the county is relieved. This is due, according to Lambert, to reduction in school budgets which this year total Craig Fractures Knee at Balboa Assemblyman Breaks Limb When Trying to Rescue Son and Another Boy at Beach Assemblyman Edward (Ted) Craig of Brea is suffering from a severely fractured knee cap as a result of his gallant effort to save his own and Assemblyman James Utt's young sons who Sunday went out beyond their depth in the ocean off Balboa. Assemblyman Craig was napping on the beach when the screams of Mrs. Utt, who observed the boys apparently step into a dangerous pit and flounder, awoke him. He jumped to his feet and dashed to the aid of the boys. En route, he stumbled over a large cement boulder, fracturing his knee cap. Other members of the party rescued the boys. The legislator was taken to the Santa Ana Valley hospital where surgeons worked over the broken knee and announced that they did not know how long he would be required to remain in the hospital. Orange county's two assemblymen and their families were enjoying the beach outing together when the accident happened. New Loan Office Is Planned Here Orange's C. A. Palmer, veteran citrus grower, Monday was named direct agent for farm loans from the federal land bank, representing Orange county, by President Willard Ellis of the federal land bank of Berkeley. Palmer opened offices immediately in the farm bureau offices at Santa Ana. He was chairman of the rural credits committee of the Orange county farm bureau, which has been working on more liberal federal regulations governing loans, under which local citrus growers will receive federal aid. Creation of a farm loan association for Orange county, through which applications of citrus growers for federal farm loans would be handled, was made by federal land bank officials. Pending formation of the office, President Willard Ellis of the land bank at Berkeley will appoint a local representative. The office is not expected to be under the Riley-Stewart plan accounts for practically all of the reduction, although there was a substantial slash in appropriations for county salaries, and the cut of 11½ per cent in assessed valuation represents a proportionate reduction in the tax schedule. Mandatory school taxes last year amounted to $950,975, while mandatory state contributions to the county were $787,714, less than the $950,975 of which the county is relieved. This is due, according to Lambert, to reduction in school budgets which this year total $3,319,710.84 as compared with $3,412.-551.82 of last year. That represents a reduction of $92,840.99. Actual expenditures last year by the schools, however, was $97,876.76 less than budgeted. Legislators contemplate that the additional charges for schools assumed by the state will require most of the revenue from the two and one-half cent sales tax now in process of collection. Departmental budgets were trimmed $115,197 in this year's budget, while the payroll is slashed $37,800, represented in the new salary budget of $347,790 as compared with $385,590 last year. Increases in the budget include: Welfare, increased from $242,678 of which $231,-434 was spent last year to $318,361 for this year. This adds a two-cent tax rate, while the budgeting of the general reserve fund, which was eliminated last year, requires another levy of two cents. This fund shrunk to practically nothing from an adequate reserve of 1932. An increase of three cents is made in salary budget, although cut $37,800, because reduced assessments demand an increased rate to meet demands. The general fund rate was slashed from 24½ to 20 cents, the budget cut from $507,912 to $434,355; hospital budget was dropped from $242,678 to $157,346, while the health budget grew from $40,194 to $40,600. Good roads fund rate was eliminated this year, although last it carried a six-cent rate, while the unbudgeted reserve was cut one cent, from 7 to 6. The county park rate of 8 mills was unchanged, and the road budget outside of incorporated cities was cut from $275,925 to $164,286, dropping the rate from 22 to 14 cents. Masons to Picnic Here On August 18 All Masons an dtheir families of Anaheim district are invited by officers of the local Masonic and Eastern Star lodges to attend the picnic dinner to be held August 18, at 6:30 o'clock, in the city park.

Nick Attends Entry Code Meet Waynick will go to Los next week to attend the series of conferences to institute code for citrus ination under NRA. The week was devoted to features of the proposed committee of the Orange county farm bureau, which has been working on more liberal federal regulations governing loans, under which local citrus growers will receive federal aid. Creation of a farm loan association for Orange county, through which applications of citrus growers for federal farm loans would be handled, was made by federal land bank officials. Pending formation of the office, President Willard Ellis of the land bank at Berkeley will appoint a local representative. The office is not expected to be formed for two to five weeks. It will operate under the new rule of "enhanced value" permitting loans to be made on a basis of production, both on the land itself and for its district; condition of the archard will enter into consideration, and loans will be made for more than 20 years. Jobless Appeal to Supervisor Board County supervisors, confronted for the second time within a year by Fullerton's Clifford Allen on behalf of the Orange County Cooperative Council of Unemployed, assured the representative that they realized fully the serious situation the jobless of this county face; and that the county will do everything in its power to aid. Rural Areas to Get Their Beer August 11 Rural districts will receive their beer August 11 instead of August 21, as previously announced when 29 three-point-two licenses were granted by the board of supervisors last week.
