Is Now In Its 63d Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIII. TEMBLOR JOINS OLD SOL IN GET ANAHEIMERS UP Eventful Week Starts Out With Quake Monday and Highest Temperature Tuesday A combination of earthquakes and Old Sol got Anaheimers out of bed early this week. Fifteen minutes after the clock struck one Monday morning, and most local residents long before had answered the summons of the Sandman, a jittering northwest to southeast temblor brought symptoms of funny feelings stomachward as nearly all local citizens bolted upright in their beds. Hardly had they begun to get their breaths as the first tremor seemed to be wearing itself away when there was a slight hull and then a violent north to south swing sent the more frightened to protection of doorways and arches. While official laboratory timers in Pasadena declared the quake lasted but six seconds, many persons said it lasted as long as the big shakeup March 10. Practically no damage was reported in Anaheim, although news from Los Angeles indicated that cornerstones had been thrust off several buildings, and two persons died of heart attacks brought on from fright. Estimated damage was slight. Schools here never missed an hour, but in Los Angeles While official laboratory timers in Pasadena declared the quake lasted but six seconds, many persons said it lasted as long as the big shakeup March 10. Practically no damage was reported in Anaheim, although news from Los Angeles indicated that cornerstones had been thrust off several buildings, and two persons died of heart attacks brought on from fright. Estimated damage was slight. Schools here never missed an hour, but in Los Angeles they were dismissed for one day pending checkups by inspectors. Several small shakes were felt, one at 5:45 o'clock and another shortly before noon, Monday. Old Sol got busy Monday, too. He sent the temperature up to 88 degrees at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Tuesday he was out bright and early, although the coolest part of the day was registered by Association Laboratory thermometers at 7 a.m. By 1:30 o'clock the mercury had climbed to 101½ degrees, one of the hottest days recorded in the past twelvemonth and setting some kind of an October record, Wednesday morning Old Sol was out again. Minimum temperature was half an hour earlier, when it went down to 53. However, the day was a little cooler, with the temperature reaching 97 at 4 o'clock. Last year the second day of October showed a temperature of 75 degrees, with the average running within two degrees of that mark until October 26 when it soared to 89 degrees. The hotest mark for the month this year was nearly 13 degrees higher than last. Liberalizing of Charity Sought Efforts to change the present county and state laws to accommodate demands of transients, especially those persons who have lost residence requirements, were seen in petitions presented to the county board of supervisors Tuesday by President C. R. Whiting of the Orange County Council of Unemployed associations. Presenting the petition, President Whiting did not criticize the county for its administration of the law, but said that this step was taken in an effort to care for the needy, regardless of their residence. Willard Smith told Whiting and a delegation that while the county welfare department is set up under a county ordinance it functions under a state law. The state law sets up the requirement of three years' residence in the state and one year in the county before an applicant is eligible to county aid. Claims 1933 Marks Significant Trend Dalton Field Gives "Craft Talk" At Kiwanis Meeting Tuesday Noon In a strictly "craft talk" D. A. Field, manager of the growers' service department of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, outlined the growth of the co-operative marketing in California's citrus industry at the Tuesday luncheon-meeting of the Kiwanis club. He branded 1933 as a significant year because it marks the sixtieth anniversary of the planting of the first navel, the forty-first milestone of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and the twenty-fifth year that perishable goods had used advertising to speed their sales. Reviewing the period from 1915 to 1930, Mr. Field declared it a period of profit and expansion when growers were primarily interested in how to spend their profits rather than how and when their fruit was marketed. Now, in this period of adjustment, the producers' interest in things that affect his revenue are much greater. In the early days of the industry much fruit was sold to the cash buyer but as production grew the cash man proved inadequate and growers found that they must band together and sell as a group or starve, the speaker declared. The Exchange today uses thru methods of sale, the f.o.b. used on the coast exclusively where the buyer takes little chance of decay because of the short haul; the delivered, which is a strictly carlot sale in which the buyer orders sizes and grades he desires; and finally, the auction, which handles far the greatest amount of fruit and returns a greater amount of money for the Old Man Prosperity around the corner once cording to County Closure. How else could reach a grant month of August than any month with last June since Augue before the elusive Owl went around the corral absence? In June, according Dan Cupid had some of the 431 licenses issued as a honeymooners' trust—well, anyway, the licenses issued for them while in 1929, the first eight more than in Fireworks In Bait.

Willard Smith told Whiting and a delegation that while the county welfare department is set up under a county ordinance it functions under a state law. The state law sets out the requirement of three years' residence in the state and one year in the county before an applicant is eligible to county aid. Members of the board expressed sympathy for the people who, through no fault of their own, have lost their residence in the county and are classed as transients. Welfare Director B. V. Curry told the delegation that the Orange County Emergency Relief committee yesterday sent a telegraphic request for federal funds with which to care for federal citizens in need regardless of what state or county they come from. This fund, Curry said, has been provided but to date attempts to secure a portion of it for use in Orange county have failed. It is believed that the effort of the emergency committee will meet with success. 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. Hear Predictions of Wars to Come Gloomy predictions of future wars, especially in Nazi Germany and "Godless" Russia were heard by Secretary Conrad Jongweward of the Anaheim Y. M. C. A. and Earl J. Walthal, who attended the luncheon given in the Pasadena Y. M. C. A. Sunday by General Secretary Franes Harmon, who recently returned from a tour of Europe. The speaker dwelled upon the nationalistic spirit being developed in Germany, of the ways in which the Jews are mistreated, and of the "world for humanity without 'God' in Ruesia.

AHEIM GAZET ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1933 By Albert T. Reid NRA CODE PUTS DAMPER ON AID TO TRANSIENTS State Official Refuses to Give Knights of Open Road More Than Needy Family Gets Just what's to be done about California's annual winter "transients" this year is a problem furrowing the brow these days of Emergency Relief Administrator C. E. Brannion. Brannion takes his job of relieving the state's needy and unemployed seriously, and he sees staring him in the face an anomolous situation that virtually prohibits much state support for the labor camps that last winter dotted the state's mountain country. Last year the camps kept a fairly constant population of some 7,000 "transients," knights of the road who frequently were simply specimens of normally employed citizens upon whom evil times had fallen. There are just as many such in California today as last year, and when winter comes there doubtless will be the usual seasonal invasion by new hordes. Brannion said a count September 1 by every relief, welfare and social service agency in the state co-operating with the state highway patrol showed 54,000 tabulated "transients" in California. "From the various counts made, we estimated about 75,000 were in California that day," Brannion said. PAGE NRA! DAN CUPID WORKING 24 HOURS A DAY! Old Man Prosperity must be just around the corner on his way back, according to County Clerk Joe Backs. How else could marriage licenses, which reached a grand total of 412 for the month of August, 1933, be greater than any month with the exception of last June since August, 1829, shortly before the elusive Old Man Prosperity went around the corner for a prolonged absence? In June, according to Clerk Backs, Dan Cupid had something to do with the 431 licenses issued. June is famous as a honeymooners' heyday. But August—well, anyway, there were only 329 licenses issued for that month in 1932, while in 1929, the figure was 420, just eight more than in 1933. Fireworks Opens In Ballot Fight Although independent pumpers in the third division of the Orange County Water District gathered at the Riehfeld school Tuesday evening to hear Tustin's Ross Shafer speak in favor of Ralph McFadden and against William P. Wallop, the real fireworks developed when the candidates themselves took the floor. Wallop, superintendent of the Anaheir Union Water company, proclaimed an unholy alliance between James Irvine and McFadden, because the big ranch owner's engineer, Roy Browning, was in the third district working for the farm bureau president. Wallop outlin- Mountain-To-Sea Road Meet Topic Justus Craemer Will Preside at Tri-County Gathering In Riverside Saturday Congressman Sam Collins, Lieut.-Col. H. H. Arnold, March field commandant, and President A. B. Miller of the state board of agriculture will be the speakers at the meeting Saturday of the Tri-County Advisory board, a semi-political organization designed to promote the welfare of the seventeenth congressional district. The meeting will be held at Bourrell's cafeteria, Riverside, with dinner beginning at 6 p.m. All persons interested are invited to attend. President Justus F. Craemer of Orange will preside. He announces that the mountains-to-the-sea highway proposed from San Bernardino to the Pacific ocean, allotment of C.C.C. camps and the programs within the three counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, and other topics will be discussed. Among speakers on the program are: Riverside's Frank A. Tetley Jr., member of the highway commission; San Bernardino's Supervisor Joseph E. Elliott of the national forest; and Director Frank Ashbrook of the bureau of fur resources of the U.S. department of agriculture. Big Hallowe’en Parade Planned Spooky response to initial solicitations for funds to finance Anaheim's annual Hallowe'en parade will not deter the Merchants and Manufacturers association from staging its witch-doctor en- And that," he said, "would leave a man $22 cash at the end of four weeks in camp. And $22 is approximately the amount the state is willing to spend to care for one of its real citizens who has a family to provide for — $22 a month. Well," Brannion said pugnaciously. "I'm certainly not going to give one of those labor camp men a surplus big enough to care for a California family—not with state money as long as there's a California family to care for." Brannion said he had hope of solving the problem with federal money, but would not know until he has conferred with Pierce Williams, western field representative of the federal emergency relief administration. Jobless Will Get Federal Gasoline Unemployed associations of Orange county this week were perfecting an accounting system to comply with government requirements as the last step required to receive an allotment of 7,300 gallons of gasoline for immediate use in hauling foodstuffs — the first appropriation of this kind to be made by the federal government in California. Director Harry L. Jones of the state relief committee to aid co-operative associations made the announcement this week to Chairman J. K. McDonald of Orange County Emergency Relief committee and Manager William Ruddlum of the Unemployed Association of Santa Ana. First meeting to perfect accounting systems in accordance with government requirements was held at Garden Grove Wednesday evening. Big Hallowe’en Parade Planned Spooky response to initial solicitations for funds to finance Anaheim’s annual Hallowe’en parade will not deter the Merchants and Manufacturers association from staging its witch-doctor entertainment. This was decided Wednesday at a meeting in the Marigold cafe. General Chairman O. H. Renner announced that sufficient money has been pledged to justify the merchants definitely planning to stage their annual spook show, which draws upwards of 25,000 people. Although funds may not be as plentiful as heretofore, the merchants believe they can put on a creditable showing, and proceeded to lay plans. Henry Adams was named grand marshal; Harold Keirsey, Harry Horn, Renner and Secretary George Reid were appointed on the finance committee; Joe Elliott and Roy Mendoza are on the music committee; William Wallop was chosen to arrange an equestrian division, while other committees will be selected at a later date. Insurance Company Seeks Deficiencies The Prudential Insurance company Tuesday filed suits against Mr. and Mrs. Albert Beck asking two deficiency judgments, for $1015 and $1012 respectively, on balances due after the company had foreclosed mortgages on the Becks’ property. Plan Mass Meeting Oct. 24 in Preparation For Gypsy Smith Evangelistic Campaign In preparation for the Gypsy Smith evangelistic campaign to be held here late this month, a men’s mass meeting will be held on the evening of October 24 where purposes of the drive will be explained. The procedure was agreed upon Sunday at a meeting of the Gypsy Smith organization at the Wesley hall of White Temple Methodist church. Committeemen R. J. Dugdale, E. J. Walthal, Perry W. Mathis and S. F. Hilgenfeld were named to promote the mass meeting. Efforts will be made to secure Dr. Helms, pastor of the First Methodist church of Los Angeles as the mass meeting speaker. He is a close friend of the evangelist. Rev. Raymond C. Harker, minister of the White Temple who recently was named head of the Gypsy Smith committee when Rev. V. K. Ledbetter was forced to resign on account of illness, presided at the meeting. He reported on the meeting he had with the evangelist at Hollywood last week, declaring it satisfactory. Committees gave reports on activities and at the meeting next Sunday afternoon at Wesley hall will report again.

In Death Quiz THROUGH ROAD RECEIVES O.K. OF SUPERVISORS Board Will Support Manchester Boulevard Plan; Federal, State Aid Looms Another step looking toward the completion of the projected Manchester boulevard from its present terminus at Downey through Orange county cities to connect with the state highway No. 191 at Tugtin was achieved Tuesday when the board of supervisors, upon motion of Supervisor LeRoy Lyon of the third district, voted to co-operate in the plan. Anaheim's Joe Collings as spokesman for a delegation of residents interested in the project, explained the project fully to the board and solicited its cooperation as a means of shortening the time from Anaheim to Los Angeles by a quarter of an hour. He explained that Manchester boulevard already has been accepted as a part of the State highway's secondary system, which will relieve local taxpayers of a large amount of maintenance cost once the project is completed. The boulevard now is opened and completed as far as Downey; while the state has agreed to co-operate with cities and counties en route in extending the road. A further argument favoring the boulevard is that it will shorten the time by opening a direct route to Santa Legian Informed On Veterans Cases Own Members, Appointed On Regional Board of Review, Outlines Policies Members of Anaheim post, American Legion, Monday evening voted to participate in the Armistice day program to be given at Orange this year, adopted a resolution of portest against the Orange County Forum program, and heard one of its own members discuss veterans' welfare under Rooseveltian regulation. Robert W. Ramsey, recently appointed a member of a regional board of survey for veterans' cases, declared that presumptive cases excepted, no veteran had received a slash of more than 25 per cent in his compensation. He said presumptive cases were those to which injury was traced back to 1925 and therefore "presumed" to have been caused by service under veteran laws of several years ago which were revised in an effort to cut out "chiseling" on the government. He cited several concrete cases reviewed by the board showing how certain veterans had received compensation for injuries in no way connected with their war service. He elucidated President Roosevelt's instructions to individual members of the board, telling them to be fair in all cases and to consider, in cases of doubt, the moral issue as well, when making a final decision. Under these instructions, approximately 24 per cent of the cases Arraign Slayer Suspect Friday Joe Sanchez, who was captured by Sheriff Logan Jackson 16 years after the death of Loren Eckles of Orange at an El Toro dance hall and tried to avert trial in superior court by claiming he was a juvenile, lost his first legal skirmish. He will be arranged in superior court Friday. Justice K. E. Morrison Tuesday held the prisoner following refusal of Judge Homer G. Arnes to receive him in juvenile court. Sanchez is 33. He claims he was but 17 when the murder of Eckles was committed. His attorney last week introduced the defendant's mother to show that the prisoner was but 17 when Eckles was killed. Prosecution and defense agreed to the suggestion of the court to proceed with the preliminary hearing, which was completed last week except summing up by attorneys. Deputy District Attorney Leo J. Frits argued that the evidence linked Sanchez to the killing; that one witness told of seeing Sanchez armed with a pistol enter a crowd where Eckles was killed; another witness saw Eckles shot, but only identified the slayer as having scars on his neck; these scars, according to a deputy sheriff who later testified, are on Sanchez' neck. Defense argued there was no evidence to hold Sanchez, but Justice Morrison ruled it sufficient to justify holding the prisoner for trial.
