Is Now In Its 63d Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIII NO COMPLAINTS FILED AT NRA HEADQUARTERS Blue Eagle Employers Will Get Every Chance to Comply With Agreement Blue Eagle employers of Anaheim will be given every opportunity to comply with regulations of the President's agreement when complaints involving infractions are formally filed with the local NRA compliance board. This is the gist of the announcement made Monday following naming of the compliance board, under authority granted by Administrator Hugh S. Johnson. The board first will review all formal, written complaints, and then, if it fails to secure full co-operation of individual employers, will forward its recommendation, to Washington, D.C., that the Blue Eagle be taken away by federal authority. A. L. Lewis was chosen chairman of the Anaheim NRA board. Board members include: Donald L. Winans, secretary; William P. Webb, Fred A. Backs, William Aupperle, A. H. Pibel and R. W. Balch.

Clay Kellogg Out In Opposition to Wallop and Mauerhan Two more candidates for directorships in the newly-created Orange County Water District were in the field this week. Ralph McFadden of Placentia, president of the Orange county farm bureau and of the Associated chambers of commerce, was entered as a nominee Tuesday by 80 representatives of independent pumping plants in district No. 3, in opposition to William P. Wallop, who was named at a general meeting two weeks ago. Property owners placing McFadden in nomination said they had no bone to pick with Wallop, other than they wanted a representative not associated with a water company. A committee to boost McFadden's candidacy includes the following: Owen R. Owen of Anaheim, chairman; George D. Griffith, Supervisor LeRoy Lyon, E. A. Rodieck and A. R. Marshburn. The other candidate is H. Clay Kellogg, whose father was well known as an engineer who mapped the entire watershed and basins along the Santa Ana. Kellogg entered in district No. 1 as an independent in opposition to W. C. Mauerhan, chosen at a group meeting of property owners several days ago. "They (people of the San Bernardino basin) have completed two flood control (conservation) dams and are starting the third one. Linked with the dams they have an enormous spreading system for the purpose of absorption. The dams are equipped with diversion gates to allow all the conservation advantages possible. We must not sit by and watch this development without some understanding with them. There must be no further appropriations above. A water right once established and being used is beyond us," A famous 309 year old clock which stands 14 feet high and made of solid black oak is ticking time again.

Ray C. Harker, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, was chosen unanimously by the Anaheim Ministerial union to the chairmanship of the Gypsy Smith revival campaign to open here in November. Election was made upon acceptance with regrets of the resignation of Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, made necessary because of illness. The ministerial union meeting was devoted almost entirely to discussion of plans for the campaign. R. J. Dugdale was elected treasurer and Rev. William Rogarsky, recently appointed pastor of the German Methodist church, was named to succeed Rev. B. C. Voll on the ushers' committee. Reports were heard from L. B. Steward in regard to building; Perry W. Mathis, choir; Rev. W. H. Thorton, cottage prayer meetings; Rev. T. H. Walker, personal workers' committee; Conrad Jongewaard, publicity; Rev. S. E. Schrader, young people's committee. The next meeting will be held next Sunday at 2:30 o'clock at the White Temple church. Anaheim's Productive SHOW WINDOWS are the pages of the Anaheim Gazette. 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. They (people of the San Bernardino basin) have completed two flood control (conservation) dams and are starting the third one. Linked with the dams they have an enormous spreading system for the purpose of absorption. The dams are equipped with diversion gates to allow all the conservation advantages possible. We must not sit by and watch this development without some understanding with them. There must be no further appropriations above. A water right once established and being used is beyond us, even if it is our water." The election of seven directors for the board of the water district will be held October 18. Only property owners will be allowed to vote, balloting being on the basis of one vote for each $100 of assessed valuation. The balloting on this plan writes history in California and has stirred quite a few arguments in the legal profession as to its validity. Anaheim’s Park Wins High Praise Palo Alto's H. Sheer, well known authority on landscaping and gardening, told members of the Anaheim Kiwanis club at their regular luncheon-meeting Tuesday in the Elks clubhouse, that Anaheim's city park is this city's most outstanding feature which excels any community of this size in the state and is equalled only by four metropolitan centers. He urged the chamber of commence to stress the park as a drawing feature. Mr. Sheer was introduced by Superintendent Rudolph Boysen of the park department, who in turn was introduced by Joe Collings, who was chairman for the day. Family Gone Hour, Thief Gets Watch Sergeant James Pifer has what he believes is a good finger print of the culprit who entered the home of the G. E. Dohn family of 722 North Claudina street Friday evening and secured a wrist watch as loot. The family was gone but an hour. Entrance was obtained by use of a pass key.

ANAHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPT. 28, 1933 RUM, BUGLE CORPS DUE IN CHICAGO SOON Local Legion Unit Leaves During Spontaneaus Farewell Tuesday Afternoon Stopping just long enough to give kisses of oranges to, shake hands and have their pictures taken with governors of states along the Arrowhead route in Chicago, the Anaheim American Legion's drum and bugle corps today is speeding toward the national convention of the Legion, to be held at the Windy City next week, and A Century of Progress. The corps, 25 strong, is scheduled to arrive at its destination Sunday morning. In their own gaily-decorated and brightly-painted bus, the boom and blow boys were given a rousing sendoff as they pulled out of Anaheim shortly after 1 o'clock Tuesday. The bus took up its station at the city hall while the corps gathered at Helena street, marching east to the city hall. Police escorts shrieked sirens and spectators along the route of march applauded as the swankily-attired members sounded their bugles and paraded smartly down the street. Not many minutes were lost putting instruments away and the bus, followed by a score of local cars, headed for the national convention, with occupants hoping to pass preliminary tests Sunday, qualifying for the "big money" early Watch Out for Stowaways!

A donation of $1,000 was used to purchase the uniforms; while the city council last year spent $250 in "advertising" toward sending the corps to Oakland; and again this year it voted a similar sum for the Chicago venture. The chamber of commerce also contributed; while Chamber Secretary George Reid helped with publicity stunts. The bus was bought with funds earned by the corps. Members almost rebuilt it mechanically; and it was painted by members with materials furnished by the Signal Oil company; of which Commander Ray Van Wagoner is local representative. In addition to taking several boxes of oranges to give to governors along the route; the corps carried a score or more of newspaper mats and prepared news stories to give newspapers en route.

Johnston and Paul Demaree Will Head Big Financial Drive Dr. H. A. Johnston, popular Bible class leader, was named general chairman and Paul H. Demaree, of the Anaheim union high school; associate executive; for the Y. M. C. A campaign opening October 17; at the board meeting Monday evening. The board gathered at the Y. building on South Philadelphia street where plans were perfected for the financial drive; being held this year one week later than usual. Secretary Conrad Jongewaard made his report on last month's activities. It included the services on "Y" night at the city park; August 27; when the young people sponsored the weekly union worship; and of religious services given at the Calvary Baptist church last Sunday when four members of the organization spoke. These services were conducted because of the illness of Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter; pastor. Secretary Jongewaard also outlined plans of the Y. M. to assist in the Gypsy Smith evangelistic campaign to be held here in November. The board appointed Arthur G. Porter to represent it at the county Y. M. C. A. meeting in Fullerton October 5; with the secretary making arrangements for other members of the local organization to attend. Next meeting was set for October 9; when final plans for the financial drive will be reviewed. RE-EMPLOYMENT OFFICES OPENED Unemployed of Orange county who have not registered with the county welfare service are urged to register with the re-employment service of the U.S. department of labor branch office in the basement corridor of the court-house at Santa Ana. County Welfare Officer Byron V. Curry announced this week. The office opened under the government's $3,300,000 reconstruction program; is in charge of Charles Fallert of Fullerton. All persons who have registered with the county welfare department need not register again because these records have been made available in classified form to the new re-employment office. Employers throughout Orange county are being urged to secure their employees through the new offices; opened this week. Previous amount of work secured through the welfare office will not affect placing of men through the federal agency. Seek Unity for Fleet Base Site Speaker Stresses Necessity of Harmonious Front by Southern California If the base of the United States battle fleet is retained for Southern California; a united front must be offered against the persistent efforts of San Francisco to take it away. In substance, this was the tenor of all speeches relating to the battle fleet base at the Associated chambers of commerce meeting at Laguna Beach Herrington Home Burglar Gets $7.50 The home of Vos Herrington at 124 South Kroeger street was entered early one morning last week, the intruder making away with $7.50 in cash, according to a report on file with police. Autoists Pay $34 Second, or More Than 10 Per Cent of All Taxes Paid In U.S. Taxes amounting to over $34 a second, $2,047 a minute, $122,900 an hour, or $2,947,992 a day, are paid by the motorists of the United States. The figures are based upon findings by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. The tremendous burden imposed upon the users of motor vehicles constitutes 10.7 per cent of all the taxes collected by federal, state and local governments. Automobile owners are the targets of all the official gunners who are out after "easy money." It is shown that while 6.6 per cent less motor vehicles were operated in 1932 the total taxes extracted from the pockets of highway users reached a new peak of all time — the astounding figure of $1,076,022,000 — last year. Another phase of the situation is revealed by the records of the U. S. department of agriculture: Since 1918 the federal government has expended $1,190,160,055 on federal-aid road work, and during the same period motorists paid in excise taxes a total of $1,258,-511,022. In other words, the automobile users put out $65,000,000 more than the sum total of the U. S. grants. Only from 1927 through 1931 did the federal government expend more on highways than it received in excise taxes. Of the more than $2,300,000,000 annual cost of running the governments of the 48 states' and the District of Columbia about every $2 out of $5 is money exacted from citizens who own motor cars. That shows what the states are doing to those who furnish their own transportation. Speaker Stresses Necessity of Harmonious Front by Southern California If the base of the United States battle fleet is retained for Southern California, a united front must be offered against the persistent efforts of San Francisco to take it away. In substance, this was the tenor of all speeches relating to the battle fleet base at the Associated chambers of commerce meeting at Laguna Beach Tuesday evening. Principal speaker was Harbor Master J. H. Collins of Long Beach, who was introduced by Anaheim's Lotus H. Loudon. Collins reviewed expenditures of the fleet in Southern California, claiming a payroll of $2,000,000, in addition to $800,000 a month for supplies. He sketched proposals for accommodating the fleet, including an "entirely practical and feasible" scheme to anchor lighter vessels at Seal Beach, where they would be available for instant maneuvers with the men o' war riding in strategic positions behind the breakwater at San Pedro. Publisher A. C. Peterson of Laguna Beach, a former San Francisco newspaper man, said that the northern city "knows what it wants" and will continue relentlessly to obtain it. He said San Francisco is offering the navy sufficient ground to accommodate the battle fleet, and that Southern California not only must present an unfit front but must match the gift of San Francisco if the base is to be retained. Some of the disadvantages of San Francisco as a base were pointed out including an estimate that fully 40 percent of the time of the ships would be wasted waiting for fog to clear, and that fact that upon completion of the Golden State bridge a single bomb from enemy plane might conceivably tie up the entire battleship forces in Pacific. Checking Up On Truck License Police officers this week continued their inspection of all local trucks see that truck licenses required under new state legislation have been secured. REGRADING JOB MAY BEGIN IN NEXT 30 DAYS City Council Agrees to Acquire 80-Foot Right-of-Way on N. L. A. Upon Demand Regrading of North Los Angeles street between La Palma and Palm streets is expected to get underway within the next 30 days as a result of opening bids on the project Wednesday afternoon by the state highway department. Total improvement costs for regrading, paving and resurfacing is expected to be $45,000, most of which comes from state and county funds. At press time Thursday Anaheim city officials had not learned whether any bid submitted had been approved and contracted ordered, but action of the city council Tuesday evening in assuring state officials that upon demand the city would acquire an 80-foot right-of-way from Sycamore to Palm streets was expected to expedite procedure. The state could not proceed without such assurance. Deeds to all strips of property necessary, with the exception of seven parcels, have been handed to the city or promised, for the city to guarantee the state an 80-foot right-of-way. Upon demand by the state the city will acquire the balance of the frontage, but officials here confidently expect there will be no demand until such a time as the state highway will ask an 80-foot width the entire length of Los Angeles street. Officials here awaited response of Dr. J. H. Bullard Is Mourned Here Funeral Saturday for One of This City's Pioneer Physicians; Married Frances Schmidt Dr. James H. Bullard, 77, one of Anaheim's pioneer physicians who moved to Los Angeles to care for large construction interests shortly before the turn of the century, died September 20 and was buried Saturday at the Forest Lawn Memorial park, Glendale. Funeral services were held in the Little Church of the Flowers. Dr. Bullard was born in Holliston, Mass., in 1856, and graduated from the Harvard Medical school. He became an interne in 1883 at the Sierra Madre Sanitarium, upon completion of which he began practice in Anaheim. After a long courtship, he married Miss Frances E. Schmidt, whose sister, Rosie, married Herman Dickel. A third sister, Clementina, married a Mr. Turk of Los Angeles, and now lives in Los Angeles. The other two sisters are dead. Shortly after the wedding in 1895, Dr. and Mrs. Bullard moved to Los Angeles. He erected the Bullard building at the site of the present Los Angeles city hall, which contained the first elevator in Los Angeles. The property was inherited from an uncle, Anson Bullard, who, when living in Anaheim, bought the old Los Angeles county courthouse and site from the county, paying $100,500 by check. Officials, when telegraphing to make certain the check was good, were informed by Boston banks that "Mr. Bullard could write a check for ten times that amount." The uncle moved to Los Angeles with his nephew and shortly after went East, where he died. Bullard later financed the Hill-The state could not prevent such assurance. Deeds to all strips of property necessary, with the exception of seven parcels, have been handed to the city or promised, for the city to guarantee the state an 80-foot right-of-way. Upon demand by the state the city will acquire the balance of the frontage, but officials here confidently expect there will be no demand until such a time as the state highway will ask an 80-foot width the entire length of Los Angeles street. Officials here awaited response of state officials on the resolution of the city council Tuesday evening. The resolution was adopted after property owners, who had signed a provisional agreement that all necessary strips of land along the route must be donated in order top revert an assessment district, relinquished their right for this claim and gave deeds outright. Deed from Kenneth K. Tanaka was received, making 45 on file. Three others are definitely promised, being held up by technical procedure. This leaves but seven "holdout" parcels. Formal approval of ordinance No. 580, which officially sets the city's tax rate at 90 cents per $100 valuation, was given. The first reading was two weeks ago. Guy Barp applied for and received a license for a class A beer establishment at 154 West Center street, while H. R. Brinkerhoff of Santa Ana obtained a wholesale beer license. Councilmen approved demands totaling $14,713.17. Of this amount, $13,-605.09 was from the general fund and $1108 for bond interest and redemption. Hear Citrus Code Early In October Consideration of the proposed California-Arizona orange and grapefruit marketing agreement will be given locally probably early in October, it was announced Thursday by Bruce McDaniel, general counsel for the Mutual Orange Distributorws at Redlands. Mr. McDaniel returned this week from Washington, D.C., where he has been since early in July, and where he compiled and presented to the secretary of agriculture the general brief for the citrus marketing agreements. These agreements are now being considered in Washington, and will then be considered for local conferences. "The proposed marketing agreements between the secretary of agriculture and the citrus shippers of California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida now are being considered in Washington in the light of evidence presented during the formal hearing on Sept. 6," Mr. McDaniel stated. "These agriculture advertisements have the The United States battle for Southern California must be offered against efforts of San Francisco Bay.

Admits Sack Theft, Sentenced to Jail Santiago Ramirez, failing to convince Judge Charles Kuchel of his innocence in connection with the theft of 15 beet sugar sacks from the Holly Sugar company. Friday changed his plea from not guilty to guilty. Judge Kuchel sentenced him to 60 days in the county jail. The sacks were valued at $7.20. Saldano Bound Over On Bail of $1,000 Remedios Saldano, charged with violating the state law which prohibits an alien from carrying firearms, was bound over for trial on $1,000 bail when he appeared before Justice Charles Kuchel Wednesday.
