Is Now In Its 63d Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIII ANAHEIM'S NRA NOSES COUNTED BY 200 WORKERS Survey to Determine Blanket Agreement Observers, Consumers and Unemployed Two hundred workers Thursday started counting NRA noses in Anaheim. These workers, according to reports filtering into headquarters before press time Thursday afternoon, were meeting with enthusiastic co-operation throughout the city. Every home and business in Anaheim will be canvassed by noon Monday. The NRA survey is divided into three parts: (1) Obtaining signatures to the RNA consumer's statement of co-operation. (2) Survey of employers to determine the number operating under the president's blanket agreement, the number of workers added and the hours of operation. (3) An unemployment survey. General O. E. Steward, Secretary George W. Reid and their NRA staffs Wednesday night gave final instructions to the 200 majors, captains and workers at a meeting held at Fremont School. This survey is expected to be completed by 4 p.m. next Monday and each captain assigned to supervise collection of the information in the voting precincts is expected to make a report to Mr. Steward at that time on the suc- Asked For Teamwork and Getting It President Roosevelt, and Recovery Administrator Hugh S.

Reid and their NRA staffs Wednesday night gave final instructions to the 200 majors, captains and workers at a meeting held at Fremont School. This survey is expected to be completed by 4 p.m. next Monday and each captain assigned to supervise collection of the information in the voting precincts is expected to make a report to Mr. Steward at that time on the success of the survey. A meeting of captains and other staff officers is to be held at the city hall at that hour to hear reports. In the business district the survey is expected to give a check upon the observance of the NRA pledge by employers. A group of five questions has been written for each employer to answer. These are: 1. Have you signed the NRA agreement? 2. How many employees were on your payroll July 1, 1933? 3. How many employees do you have on your payroll now? 4. How many hours per week did you operate your business prior to July 1, 1933? 5. How many hours per week do you operate your business now? Federal Undertaking Persons asked to sign and who refuse are to be reported to captains, Mr. Steward instructed. He declared it is his belief that in neighborliness none will refuse to co-operate. “This movement is not a chamber of commerce project,” the leader declared. “It is a federal government undertaking that demands the utmost in loyalty from each of us.” Workers on the canvass will not sign children under 16 years of age as unemployed, M. A. Gauer, colonel in charge of man power, instructed. Heads of families will be asked to sign for the entire family, where possible. Donald L. Winans, major in charge of the canvass of the major portion of the business section, instructed workers to use the utmost diplomacy possible. Introduce Officers George W. Reid, chamber of commerce secretary, who is acting as NRA secretary, declared that this undertaking marks the turning of the spirit of the nation. No longer are we individualists, he said, but we must act together. “We've got to take care of each other,” he said. "In this movement we are doing something for the perpetuity of the nation." Each of the majors present introduced his or her captains. Mrs. Vincenta Carleton, lieutenant general in charge of the woman power, introduced her staff workers. Majors in charge of the campaign and their captains include: Short-wave Radio For County Urged Supervisors Unofficially Favor Plan as Means of Increasing Police Efficiency City and county law enforcement officers may use a short-wave radio system as a means of increasing their efficiency in apprehending criminals if plans before the board of supervisors mature. Sheriff Logan Jackson in a letter to the board Tuesday pointed out the benefits to be derived from installation of a short-wave station to be operated by an officer-technician at an approximate cost of $1800 a year. Instead of the equipment costing $20,000 as estimated last year, the sheriff believes it will not cost over $1500, which would be met by combining expenses of the county and participating cities. Only three members of the board were present, with John C. Mitchell sitting as chairman pro-tem in the absence of Willard Smith of Orange. The other absentee was Third District's LeRoy Lyon. W. C. Jerome was named to investigate the attitude of city officials in the county toward radio-equipped police cars, pending the report the supervisors withheld action although they unofficially gave the impression that they favored the plan.

Have you noticed the large number of people who motor up to a store, hop out, buy and drive away without joining the sidewalk parade? In the quiet of their homes, Anaheimers read your message and make their decisions to buy. To Laguna Beach may go the honor of receiving the first federal allotment under the public works program in California. County Highway Superintendent Nat H. Neff Saturday submitted complete plans for the proposed Arch Beach $180,000 sewer to the office of Col Sears, working under Federal Public Works Administrator H. H. Cotton for California. Bonds were voted by the city two years ago, but never sold. Laguna seeks $10,000 from the U.S. Government as an outright grant. Officials believe this is the first public works project in the state for which complete plans are ready. Chamber Lowers Membership Dues Secretary George W. Reid of the Anaheim chamber of commerce was instructed by his board of directors last week to lower the membership rates for individuals, and professional men from $25 to $12.50 per year, but to retain the $25 rate for corporations, partners and organizations. The secretary also was instructed to inquire about possibilities of securing federal aid in improving the Mexican district to the north of the city. The directors decided to abolish the secret advertising committee and in its stead appoint permanent committee, members of which will be announced later. The board voiced objections to advertising "stunts" like the recent flag-pole standers. It was pointed out that the chamber of commerce and the Merchants and Manufacturers' association had both refused sanction to the stunt. 50 Anaheim Men Getting RFC Work RFC funds being spent in the county this month accounted for 50 Anaheim men getting temporary employment this week, Local Registrar John Kellenberger announces. ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1933 WATER DISTRICT NO. 3 MEETS TO NAME DIRECTOR Farm Center Leaders Seek Harmony in Slection of Representative on Board Under the sponsorship of three farm centers—President A. C. Bonney, Anaheim; President Bert Shaw, Yorba Linda; and President W. Harold Lang, Placentia—farmers of division No. 3 of the Orange county water district will meet Monday evening, August 21, at 7:30 o'clock in the Placentia Bradford avenue grammar school for the purpose of reaching an harmonious decision on who shall represent this division on the board of directors of the new water district. Division No. 3 comprises the territory east of Anaheim, all of Placentia, Yorba and Richfield, all of the Yorba Linda district irrigated by the Anaheim Union and the Yorba Linda Water companies. The eastern boundary is the Santa Ana river; the south is Ball road, and the western boundary follows the southern, eastern and northern boundaries of the city limits of Anaheim over to Spadra road, to the city limits of Fullerton, where it follows the city limits of Fullerton around to a point almost parallel with the northern boundary line of the city of Fullerton. President Lang, taking the initiative, states: "On August 22 the Orange county water district bill will become a Finds 34 States Lesson of Previews Regulations In 3.2 Beer Laws As Encouraging Beer regulations in New York in comparison with beer regulations in other states are outlined by Mrs. John S. Sheppard, member of New York's State Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and New York State Chairman of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform, in a review of beer laws throughout the United States. Mrs. Sheppard said. "Encouraging indications of a new attitude toward liquor and liquor regulations are shown in the majority of the laws enacted by the states. "Evidence is to be found in the majority of the new laws, that the state legislatures have learned the lessons which prohibition has taught. These laws also show a determination to avoid a return to the conditions which produced prohibition. "In analyzing the thirty-four acts which have been received for this review I find three outstanding factors: 1. Determination by taxing beer and wine to make available for the state's recovery address." Rev. O'Sullivan Will In Probate Leaves Estate of $10,000 or Less to Brothers, Sister and Catholic Bishop Property valued at $10,000 or less, according to a petition to probate filed in the superior court Wednesday, was left by late Rev. Fr. St. John O'Sullivan of the Mission San Juan Capistrano to relatives and the Roman Catholic bishop of Los Angeles and San Diego. The will was drawn up July 11, with Carl M. Heim and Arthur L. Lirette of Santa Ana as witnesses. It disposes of all lot in Laguna Cliffs and another at Palm Springs to a brother, Rev. Anthony O'Sullivan of San Juan Capistrano; a lot at Laguna Cliffs to a brother, Rev. Frank O'Sullivan of Laguna Beach; a lot at Palm Springs to a sister, Lucy O'Sullivan of Los Angeles; and a collection of paintings to a brother, Patrick O'Sullivan of Memphis, Tenn. Mrs. Mary Nickel of San Juan Capistrano was willed $100; and the "Roman Catholic, Bishop of Los Angeles and San Diego" was willed $200 for 100 masses for the repose of the decendent's soul. The library, paintings, curios and historical relics also were willed to the bishop with the request they remain in the mission. The bishop also was made residuary heir. Land Bank Loans of $55,000 Asked Applications totaling $55,000 were filed with Federal Land Bank Agent C. A. Palmer for Orange county—the first day he opened offices at the farm bureau. Many more applications were taken out and were to be returned soon, with a large share of them standing a good chance to secure loans, in the opinion of the temporary agent. Palmer will occupy the same offices until the Orange County Farm Loan association is formed, when permanent offices will be established at another address. The appointment of Palmer assured the organization of borrowers district irrigated by the Anahene Union and the Yorba Linda Water companies. The eastern boundary is the Santa Ana river; the south is Ball road, and the western boundary follows the southern, eastern and northern boundaries of the city limits of Anaheim over to Spadra road, to the city limits of Fullerton, where it follows the city limits of Fullerton around to a point almost parallel with the northern boundary line of the city of Fullerton. President Lang, taking the initiative, states: "On August 22 the Orange county water district bill will become a law and the board of supervisors of Orange county under this law, within 60 days will call election for directors. The district is divided into seven divisions, each having one director on the managing board. The bill creating this district had almost unanimous support of the agricultural interests of the Santa Ana basin. Three main problems will be handled by the district which are of extreme importance to not only the farmers, but also the city people within the district, and Orange county. These include the protection of water rights, importation of water, and control and conservation of flood waters. It is very important that the board of directors to be elected by the people from the various divisions in Orange county be men elected from the standpoint of the entire district, recognizing the rights and interests of individuals and organizations, and who will attempt to settle differences around the conference table insofar as this is possible without recourse to law suits. "Bert Shaw, president of the Yorba Linda farm center, A. C. Bonney, president of the Anaheim farm center, and myself as president of the Placentia farm center have assumed the responsibility of calling a meeting of representatives of the various water companies, chambers of commerce, and individual pumpers and users of water in our division to see if it would be possible for all of us to agree upon a candidate that we could all support in a harmonious way. Nothing means quite so much at this time in the solution of our water problems as our ability as farmers and as groups of farmers and city peoples to work together. As farm bureau centers, we are not in any way desirous to say who the candidate should be from our division. We have felt, however, as local units of a general farm organization, it was our responsibility to call a meeting of all the interested groups and individuals in our division to see if we can make this first step in the operation of our district in a cooperative way." Charles Chapman Moves His Offices Charles C. Chapman, known through- Applications totaling $50,000 were filed with Federal Land Bank Agent C. A. Palmer for Orange county the first day he opened offices at the farm bureau. Many more applications were taken out and were to be returned soon, with a large share of them standing a good chance to secure loans, in the opinion of the temporary agent. Palmer will occupy the same offices until the Orange County Farm Loan association is formed, when permanent offices will be established at another address. The appointment of Palmer assured the organization of borrowers in land from federal funds, and the organization is expected to be completed by the first of the year. Word is expected in the near future regarding definite rules for liberalizing the loans in Orange county, curtailed for some time because of the erroneous idea held by land bank officials in Berkeley that the water supply in this county was inadequate. High School Will Open September 11 Anaheim high school students will trek back to their classrooms beginning September 11, according to an announcement by Principal J. A. Clayes this week. But before they begin their studies, they will enroll during the week beginning September 4. The first faculty meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m., September 7, when a definite curricula will be announced. No Taxpayers at Equalization Meet Any persons seeking adjustments in their city taxes are invited to file their complaints in writing with City Clerk John C. Price within the next few days. The city council sat as a board of equalization Monday morning at the city hall but not a single person appeared to protest the tax rates. As a courtesy the meeting was left open so that persons might file complaints. Charles Chapman Moves His Offices Charles C. Chapman, known throughout Southern California as "the father of the valencia orange" and one-time aspirant for vice-president on the republican ticket, Wednesday moved his general offices from his ranch to the Charles C. Chapman building in Fullerton. For more than 40 years Mr. Chapman has maintained his offices on his ranch known as the Santa Ysabel. A separate building provided headquarters where he directed his varied interests, ranging from the Charles C. Chapman building in Los Angeles; the Southern Meat company, Anaheim; the orange ranches at Lindsay; the orange packing house and the ranches known as Chapman acres; Santa Ema and Santa Ysabel at Fullerton; and the Marigold ranch at Redlands. Mr. Chapman this week was enjoying his annual vacation. Chamber Secretary Has Sale Tax Forms Secretary George W. Reid of the Anaheim chamber of commerce this week had a supply of blank forms for local merchants to fill out and file before the deadline date of August 30 for complying with the state law regarding the two and one-half cent sales tax. San Bernardino's W. C. Shay, regional sales tax administrator, visited Anaheim Tuesday and left the supply of forms. He urged merchants to hasten in complying with the law's regulations. His jurisdiction includes San Bernardino, Inyo, Riverside and Orange counties. Delaware has the highest license fee for brewers, $3000. New York stands with Indiana, Maine and New Mexico in requiring $2,500 for brewery licenses. The fees in Massachusetts range from $500 to $2,500, depending on volume of business. Fees and Taxes The fees for restaurants, hotels, etc. where beer may be drunk on the premises range from $5 in Oklahoma and Louisiana; $10 in Minnesota, Missouri and Vermont; up to a minimum fee of $300 in Indiana; a maximum fee of $500 in Massachusetts; and from $200 to $700 in Rhode Island. The fee in New York state is $200, for hotel and restaurants in cities having a population of 100,000 or over, and $100 in all other places. The rest of the states average about $100 for hotels and restaurants. New York state is in a group of ten states with a tax of $1 a barrel on beer. The highest state tax is that imposed by South Carolina of fifteen cents per gallon or $4.65 a barrel. Oklahoma's fax is $2.50 a barrel. And Florida's $1.86. Tells Version of Christ’s Return Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter's interpretation of "The Divine Requirement," his sermon topic at Sunday night's union services at the city park, was: "The ideal form of government is an autocracy with a perfect, just, loving merciful autocrat as its head, guiding its less fortunate subjects. This is the form of government Christ is to establish when he returns to the earth." "Some Bible students feel that we are soon to witness a demand for a world dictator, who will require complete obedience to him and his program. They also feel that this is a part of the preparation for the coming of the anti-Christ, who will be destroyed by an early return of Jesus." 4 States Learn Lesson of Prohibition Studies Liquor Laws Mrs. John S.

McFadden Named Pro-rate Chief STATE TO SPEND HALF A MILLION ON LOCAL ROADS Four Projects In Orange County Will Be Pushed by $458,300 Allocation from State Orange county's allocation of $458,300 from the 59 million dollar department of public works blennium highway construction and maintenance program involves four projects. The budget made public Thursday includes the sum of $34,352,438 in allocations for new construction or improvement of present highways. The allotment of Orange county is based upon vehicle registration and need for projects, according to the announcement. First on the Orange county program is the proposed improvement of portions of the Santa Ana canyon. This important lateral connection between the Inland and the Coast highways narrow in places, with grades and curves that slow up traffic. It is proposed to spend $200,000 in bringing certain sections to better standards. "The Arches" at Newport Beach long has been a bottleneck where the traffic on the Coast highway meets the cross traffic of state route 43 from Anaheim and Santa Ana, bound for the beaches. It is proposed to eliminate the bottleneck with a grade separation that will cost $180,000. A bridge over Bauro street with incidental grading and paving of approaches will cost $52,000; and a bridge McFadden Named Pro-rate Chief Heads Commission to Regulate Compulsory Crop Control Within State Santa Ana's A. J. McFadden, representing the citrus industry, heads California's new agricultural pro-rate commission appointed last Saturday by Governor James Rolph Jr. The commission is made up of nine nonsalaried members who will employ a salaried secretary. It conforms to the law passed by the legislature last spring which permits two-thirds of an agricultural industry to band together and force the other third into an agreement. Appointments were made upon recommendations of Agricultural Director A. A. Brock, formerly agricultural commissioner of this county, and Chairman A. B. Miller of the board of agriculture. Besides McFadden, the appointments include: Vegetables—Joseph Brooks, Winnut Grove. Deciduous fruits—George H. Hecke, Woodland. Dairy—Ray W. Pikes, Vernalis. Independent Handlers—O. W. Schuessner, American Fruit Growers, Los Angeles. Co-operative Handlers—Fred Reed, California Fruit Exchange, Sacramento. Processors of agricultural products—Preston McKinney, Canners League of California, San Francisco. Public—C. E. Bain, San Francisco banker; Howard Miller, Los Angeles chamber of commerce. Brock regards the measure as one to help state agriculture. He added last week that passage of another bill this summer, in conformity with the national agricultural act, might make unnecessary application of the pro-rate measure to crop control in some industries. Giannini Strikes Optimistic Note Members of the Young Ladies' Institute, Knights of Columbus and the Order of Catholic Youth will hold a joint basket-luncheon at 1 o'clock Sunday in the Anaheim city park. Coffee, sugar and cream will be served. All northern Orange county parishs are invited. Following the picnic, various games and social entertainments are planned. The Holy Name baseball team will vie with the St. Patrick parish squad from San Diego for the semi-prize Diocesan championship. Members of committees in charge of the picnic are: Knights of Columbus John Sedler, chairman; Leo Gorman, M. J. Stehley, Bud Oswald, Al Erickson, Giannini Strikes Optimistic Note Operation of the NRA codes will restore Pacific coast manufacturing and build a new prosperity even more substantial than that enjoyed before the depression, in the opinion of Dr. A. H. Giannini, chairman, general executive committee, Bank of America. "Ten years ago," said Dr. Giannini. "Pacific coast manufacturing was making great strides forward. High freight rates on eastern goods, at that time, made it possible for the Pacific coast successfully to compete with the East, even in the face of the lower labor costs that prevailed in eastern factories. "An adjustment of transportation rates through the interstate commerce commission," the banker continued, "saw this margin gradually reduced to the vanishing point. The development of oil and natural gas helped to some extent, and in recent years, there has been a revival in Pacific coast manufacturing, but many industries, particularly in the clothing trades, found it impossible to meet the sweat shop conditions on the Atlantic seaboard. "The introduction in the NRA codes of an increased wage scale and shortened hours, to a great degree, has restored equality, and, for the first time, our people have taken new hope. Manufacturers are fully alive to the new opportunity, are resuming the manufacture of lines long abandoned, are employing more operatives and preparing an aggressive campaign to regain their old markets. Under the new conditions, the Pacific coast will be able to sell its manufactured products, not only on the Pacific coast, but will find an ever widening market in the Orient and in South America."
