THE GAZETTE Is Now In Its 64th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIV ‘GIPSY’ SMITH DRAWS CROWDS IN FIRST WEEK Will Address Young Folk Friday Evening; 9,000 Hear Evangelist In First Three Days Indications point to “standing room only” signs by Friday evening as the first week of a three-week Gipsy Smith evangelical campaign draws to a close. More than 5,000 people jammed the temporary tabernacle structure at Clementine and Broadway to hear the two sermons Sunday, while attendance dropped to about 2,000 for Monday night and jumped again to 2700 for the gathering Tuesday evening. Wednesday night showed strong signs of increasing interest, according to Y. M. C. A. Secretary Conrad Jongewaard. Friday evening the noted evangelist will address the young people of this district. Large sections have been reserved for groups between 15 and 25 years of age. No meeting will be held Saturdays, but again Sunday two gatherings are scheduled, one for 2 and be other 7 p.m. Monday the religious leader will address the Rotary club, which is holding open meeting for other service clubs and residents of the city.

As the gatherings progressed will address the young people of this district. Large sections have been reserved for groups between 15 and 25 years of age. No meeting will be held Saturdays, but again Sunday two gatherings are scheduled, one for 2 and he other 7 p.m. Monday the religious leader will address the Rotary club, which is holding open meeting for other service clubs and residents of the city. In his initial address, Gipsy Smith struck hard at lethargy in modern churches, speaking at length on purposes and fundamentals of religious work. As the gatherings progressed, he changed more to messages of inspirational nature for the layman, challenging the individual to face his religious problem. Tuesday evening he received a most enthusiastic response from the audience for his address on "The Holy Ghost," while Monday evening he spoke on "Following Christ," drawing his scriptural text from Matthew 16:21-24. In this sermon the evangelist showed how Jesus, at 12 years of age, wanted to be about "his father's business," and then asked: "What are you doing for Jesus? To whom have you written in an effort to help, whose grief have you wiped away today?" The speaker stressed the value of prayer, warning that "he who lives merely for self loses himself. The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. You cannot be an out and out Christian without winning a soul to Christ in three months." The challenge, "What has your religion cost you?" was hurled at the close of the meeting, referring to the number of soldiers who died during the World War because of their love of country. In his opening address Sunday afternoon, the speaker justified his revival work, saying it was supported by the Bible itself, and by God's purpose in nature. He found reference to need for a revival in the 85th Psalm. He declared the church is where the revival should begin and urged proper preparation, after which he vouchsafed no fear for sinners. Speaking of the need for parents to give their children confidence in religion, the evangelist said: "The young folks leave the church as early as they can because they have lost faith in the religion of their fathers. Of what use is religion if it falls you in the most vital place—the home?" He declared revival of the old-fashioned religion is the only thing that will save civilization. In this belief he says he has substantial company throughout the world. Sunday evening the speaker declared that material things do not satisfy, and urged his listeners to "get close to Jesus." "We hold religious services, but we do not want Jesus," he declared in stating the place "to get close to Jesus is at His feet." State “Wide Open” Until December 5 County and City Beer Ordinances Nullified As State Takes Over Liquor Control California is "wide open." Until the eighteenth amendment was dealt a blow when Utah prover the thirty-sixth state to ratify the twenty-first amendment at Tuesday's elections, cities and counties of the state had something to say about how beer should be dispensed. Theoretically, they still have a lot to say about it, because the eighteenth amendment actually isn't repealed until December 5 when state conventions will ratify the findings of this week's elections. Actually, an appeal would carry a liquor trial case beyond date of repeal, thus making California "wide open," in effect. Orange county's only control over the liquor situation is in its handling of the dance hall ordinance where it can forbid granting a license to dance halls permitting promiscuous use of liquor. Balance of control of alcoholic beverages, above or below 3.2 per cent, is in the hands of the state. California's state board of equalization will grant the licenses for on-sale naturally-fermented wines and beers and hard liquor. Certain types of wines and beers may be consumed on the premises under certain conditions, but the state law prohibits sale of hard liquor in anything but original, unopened packages, for consumption at home. In celebration of the "wet" victory, cocktail parties were held openly in Los Angeles and San Francisco Tuesday. He Is Not Seen Things, For Real Words His thoughts were on table lamp made by A.T.

Kellogg residence on East Broadway near Los Angeles street has been torn down, having been considered a fire menace. The building was erected about 40 odd years ago by Kellogg and occupied by him as a residence and office until his removal from this city. The residence was purchased by F. A. Yungbluth and was by him sold to the city. COLLINS SEEKS JOB AGAIN Congressman Sam L.

AHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOV. 9, 1933 erty By Albert T. Reid THE PRESS OF THE NATION "Our liberty depends upon the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost." J. Jefferson CITRUS CODE TO BE DISCUSSED FRIDAY NIGHT Two Meetings Scheduled; Bruce McDaniel at Garden Grove, Armstrong at Fullerton Details of the California-Arizona orange and grapefruit agreement, tentatively approved Tuesday by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, will be discussed at length at two meetings to be held in Orange county Friday night. Bruce McDaniel, general counsel of the Mutual Orange Distributors and secretary of the national citrus committee drawing up the national code which will operate through district pacts, will address an open meeting of growers and packing house managers at Garden Grove. Paul R. Armstrong, general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, will address a group of packing house managers, directors and growers of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange at Fullerton the same evening. Copies of the California-Arizona agreement were being received by packing house managers and other interested parties this week. It was the first time any of them had seen actual copies of the proposed agreements. Heretofore, discussion has been general, but the meetings Friday evening are expected to develop into technical discussions in order to let growers know the exact operation of the pact, which He Is Not Seeing Things, For It Is Real Work of Art "Its just a gallon jug, but it's a work of art" mused Harry C. Arthur sr., this week. His thoughts were on the unique table lamp made by Anaheim's James T. Freeman and presented to the genial theatre manager. The art lies entirely within the base of the lamp, which is a plain, crystal-clear gallon jug. Mr. Arthur exhibits the jug to prove he isn't seeing things, or whatever one is supposed to do after emptying one. Inside the jug, and placed in position by specially made tools without the necessity of cutting or marring the glass in any way, is an old-fashioned sawhorse, hand ax, mallet and buck saw, neatly balanced to a wooden pedestal upon which is placed the lamp. Prisoner's Alibi Blasted In Court Don C. McEuen, Los Angeles matress maker who was accused of burglary of a cottage at Newport Beach, had an alibi when he appeared before Judge James L. Allen at Santa Ana Monday. The suspect said that instead of being in Newport Beach, he had been helping Stanley De Arman to repair an automobile, but that he couldn't produce De Arman because the wanted witness was in New York. Deputy District Attorney Leo Frils, for the prosecution, called De Arman to the stand where he testified that he Schools Reflect Lower Birth Rate Progressive Decrease In Enrollment from Kindergarten Into Grades Is Shown California's birth rate has decreased to the point where it is reflected in lowered public school attendance. This is the contention of Vierling Kersey, state superintendent of public instruction, in discussing the trend of school attendance. "It is significant that beginning with the school year 1930-31, there has been a progressive decrease in state enrollment, beginning with the kindergarten and extending each year one grade farther through the public school system until the present time," Kersey said. "These decreases, no doubt, reflect in part at least the decline in the birth rate which has occasioned so much comment by officials concerned with vital statistics. It is our belief the decline in the birth rate will continue for several years to come." Thus far the decreases in enrollment have not actually resulted in a reduced average daily attendance. "This," Kersey explained, "is due, no doubt, to the fact that the supervision of attendance has become more efficient during recent years, and pupils are in school practically the full time during which the schools are open. Absence has been reduced to a minimum." As an example of the reduction in lower grade enrollment, state records show there were 135,000 pupils in the first grade in 1930-31, as compared to a group of packing house managers, directors and growers of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange at Fullerton the same evening. Copies of the California-Arizona agreement were being received by packing house managers and other interested parties this week. It was the first time any of them had seen actual copies of the proposed agreements. Heretofore, discussion has been general, but the meetings Friday evening are expected to develop into technical discussions in order to let growers know the exact operation of the pact, which is part of the national citrus agreement through which committees will name a national co-ordinator to correlate their work. Separate pacts are provided for California-Arizona; Florida and adjacent territory, and Puerto Rico. Each pact is different to provide for different packing and shipping conditions. The California-Arizona pact calls for proration of shipments, extends allotments to growers for fruit not contracted by any shipper, and permits buyers to ship fruit under grower allotments. Packing houses and growers will sign the code and prorate agreement. Although the district exchanges are not required to sign the code, they have indicated they will do so, while central exchanges are required to sign. The grower marketing through any group signs an agreement to let that group handle his prorated fruit, thus providing five separate documents to be considered and signed. BRUCE McDANIEL DISCUSSES PACT FRIDAY EVENING Bruce McDaniel, who worked for three months as secretary of the national citrus committee at Washington, D.C., and rubbed elbows with President Roosevelt, NRA Administrator Johnson and other national figures, will speak on "The Proposed National Citrus Agreement" at a meeting sponsored by Mutual Orange Distributors at Washington grammar school auditorium. Sixth and Acacia streets, Garden Grove, Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. McDaniel recently returned from Washington. He is general counsel of the Mutual Orange Distributors of Redlands, California. At Washington, Mr. McDaniel served on the committee representing the citrus industry from California, Florida, Arizona, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Puerto Rico. As secretary of the citrus committee Mr. McDaniel was able to sit in on some of the press conferences with Roosevelt, rub elbows with General Johnson and meet with many of the heads of the various departments of the government who are attempting to work out the problems of our economic industrial (Continued on page 5) Hire Architect For Anaheim P. O. Don C. McEuen, Los Angeles matress maker who was accused of burglary of a cottage at Newport Beach, had an alibi when he appeared before Judge James L. Allen at Santa Ana Monday. The suspect said that instead of being in Newport Beach, he had been helping Stanley De Arman to repair an automobile, but that he couldn't produce De Arman because the wanted witness was in New York. Deputy District Attorney Leo Frils, for the prosecution, called De Arman to the stand where he testified that he had been in jail since the middle of August on a burglary count. The burglary at Newport Beach occurred in September. McEuen was found guilty. Red Cross Opens Drive On Monday The familiar Red Cross nurse signs will dot residences and business houses in Anaheim next week, as the Anaheim chapter is prepared to launch its annual campaign next Monday. Chairman Charles Pearson announces that the campaign will be headed by Mrs. Earl E. Smith, prominent Anaheim clubwoman. Territory of the Anaheim chapter this year includes the grammar school districts of Anaheim, Loara, Katella, Magnolia, Savanna and Laurel (Los Alamitos). Headquarters for the drive will be established at the H.N. White hardware store, 142 East Center street, and at offices of the Anaheim Building and Loan association, 187 West Center street. Working with Mrs. Smith will be the officers and directors of the chapter, teachers in all schools, a representative of every P.-T.A., and many volunteers. It is planned to continue the drive for one week only and to carry it on chiefly through organized groups, no house-to-house canvas to be made. Booths will be placed on the street as usual or membership fees or donations may be mailed direct to Miss E. Kate Res, chapter treasurer. Thus far the decreases in enrollment have not actually resulted in a reduced average daily attendance. “This,” Kersey explained, “is due, no doubt, to the fact that the supervision of attendance has become more efficient during recent years, and pupils are in school practically the full time during which the schools are open. Absence has been reduced to a minimum.” As an example of the reduction in lower grade enrollment, state records show there were 135,000 pupils in the first grade in 1930-31, as compared to 121,175 this year. Enrollment in the second grade has been reduced during the same period from 101,175 to 98,494 pupils. The average daily attendance for all public schools, however, has increased from 1,111,688 to 1,130,555, according to the records. WARNS STONE THROWERS Boys who threw stones at Gipsy Smith's tabernacle Monday night are warned by Police Chief James S. Bouldin that disturbing a religious meeting is a violation of the law.

Escaped Prisoner Found In Oregon When William E. Boyd, federal prisoner, again is ensconced in the county jail he will not be given the opportunity to make his excuse on the filmsexe excuse of being sick. He pulled that one on county officials last August 20, going to the county hospital on a physician's order. There the prisoner took an iron from his bed. Anaheim merchants, in conformity with other merchants in neighboring cities, will close their stores at 10:30 a.m. and re-open at 2 p.m. Saturday, in order to give employees an opportunity of attending the parade at Orange Telephone communications Wednesday morning with Santa Ana, Fullerton and other communities verified this arrangement, which was tentatively agreed upon by local merchants two weeks ago. Escaped Prisoner Found In Oregon When William E. Boyd, federal prisoner, again is ensconced in the county jail he will not be given the opportunity to make his excuse on the filmsy excuse of being sick. He pulled that one on county officials last August 20, going to the county hospital on a physician's order. There the prisoner took an iron from his bed, pried open a window and made his escape, clad only in pajamas, by climbing down a sheet rope. The sheriff's office traced the prisoner to the home of F. B. Clasby, where the pajamas were "exchanged" for a suit of clothes, a hat and shoes, and the escaped prisoner helped himself to Claibys' coupe, which was found at San Diego several days later, wrecked. Boyd was apprehended at Oregon City, Oregon, Tuesday night after he had flashed a gun and threatened Officer James Snow of the Oregon state police. Extradition of the prisoner became unnecessary when federal authorities took over custody of the prisoner for his return to Santa Ana. David Wettlin Is Sent To Jail Because his friends had been "put on the spot" for interceding in his behalf when he submitted his application for probation, D. G. Wettlin, prominent Santa Ana attorney, last Thursday appeared before Judge James L. Allen and withdrew his application. He also waived time for pronouncement of judgment, and was sentenced to serve from one to 10 years in San Quentin on charges of grand theft, involving $3100 taken as administrator from the estate of Jacob M. Haist. Wettlin requested his own arrest, pleaded guilty and withdrew his application for probation, preferring to "take his medicine." He had taken the money, he said, to help his father in a time of need. He had hoped to pay back the amount, but heirs to the estate refused to take his notes in lieu of prosecution, so he asked for his own punishment. Anaheim merchants, in conformity with other merchants in neighboring cities, will close their stores at 10:30 a.m. and re-open at 2 p.m. Saturday, in order to give employees an opportunity of attending the parade at Orange, Telephone communications Wednesday morning with Santa Ana, Fullerton and other communities verified this arrangement, which was tentatively agreed upon by local merchants two weeks ago. 3 Chicken Thieves Granted Liberty Upon order of Superior Judge James L. Allen, Chicken Thieves Dan Garnier, David Garnier and W. S. Grigsby are at liberty this week, following serving of three months of a one-year jail sentence. The order followed modification of the five-year probation given them. Officers claim the men were members of a large chicken thief gang in Southern California.
