Advancement of the route to this stage was reported by Third District Supervisor LeRoy Lyon at the Imperial Highway association meeting in Corona Friday night. Procuring of right-of-way through Yorba Linda has 3 RESIGNATIONS FROM SHERIFF'S WITHIN A MONTH Jim Musick, Football Star Is Named Deputy; Eels and Perry Latest to Quit Residents of Orange county this week speculated on why two undersheriff's and a deputy sheriff should resign from Sheriff Logan Jackson's force within a month. Hardly a month ago Jackson announced that he had "lifted" the badge of C. W. Riggle, who countered this move by announcing his candidacy as sheriff to succeed Jackson, and announcing that previous to the sheriff's purported "lifting" he had resigned, to become effective when his earned vacation was up on May 1. Friday of last week two more resignations followed in rapid order. Under-sheriff Art Eels who had been appointed to take Riggle's old position, announced: "Conditions in the office make it impossible for me to work there longer. Under conditions as they are at the present time I do not feel I can longer continue as undersheriff." He turned in his badge and keys—voluntarily. Scarcely an hour later, Deputy Sheriff Edward E. Perry turned in his resignation. Sheriff Jackson made no comment on the resignations of Eels and Perry. His only reply was the announcement that he had appointed Jim Musick, professional football fullback and former U. S. C. gridiron star as deputy sheriff, and shifted Fred Wilbur from charge of the civil department to undersheriff, and James Ragan from assistant jailer on night duty to the criminal division. David Fairbairn of Olive was appointed to work in the jail. Musick, well known Santa Ana youth who has been making $3500 playing professional football where he was rated the second best fullback in the game, will draw $148 a month as deputy sheriff. Jackson said he was glad to give university talent an opportunity in law enforcement work. One day after their resignations from the sheriff's force Eels and Perry were sworn in as deputy constables by Constable Jess Elliott of Santa Ana. Supervisors of Orang hearing a report of William C.

Advancement of the route to this stage was reported by Third District Supervisor LeRoy Lyon at the Imperial Highway association meeting in Corona Friday night. Procuring of right-of-way through Yorba Linda has been a stumbling block in proceedings heretofore. Lyon reported the county ready to purchase a 24-foot strip from the Pacific Electric railway, if the state would purchase a similar adjoining strip from ranchers. DO YOU KNOW?

AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1934 Mother's Nightmare (After going to the movies) By Albert T. Reid THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO JUNIOR Supervisors May Seek Federal Aid In Water Project Jerome Believes Uncle Sam Ready to Extend Aid to Conservation Measures Supervisors of Orange county, after hearing a report of their Supervisor William C. Jerome who was sent to Washington, D.C. on behalf of the county, and listening to interests favoring construction of a dam in Santa Ana canyon, this week have under consideration submission of water conservation plans to Riverside's Francis Cuttle, who is project committee member for Southern California on the national rivers and harbors congress. Purpose of this action, it was explained, is to put conservation and flood control plans for the Santa Ana river before the proper authorities in the hope that the federal government will enlarge its contributions to include such projects. Heretofore, as explained by Jerome, the government has confined its financial aid to flood control, although he believes it now sees more clearly the need for water conservation, especially in the West, Jerome said. Uncle Sam is interested in a program of permanent improvements and urged that Orange county unite on some program of water conservation and flood control and submit it. Acting upon this suggestion, persons interested in building a dam in the Governor Rolph’s Death Is Expected Governor James Rolph’s condition was unchanged at press time Thursday, as he lay on what physicians admitted was his death bed, at the ranch home of a friend at San Jose. He was reported suffering from a combination of pulmonary and cardiac troubles, which for several months have confined him to doctors’ care. Several times his physicians virtually gave him up, but his remarkable vitality caused rallies which brought back flashes of the governor’s famous smile. Name Old Timers’ Picnic Committees Rev.

COUNCIL CLOSES ANAHEIM POOL AS SAFETY MEASURE Anaheim's city park pool was closed indefinitely Wednesday evening by order of the city council, upon recommendation of County Health Officer Dr. Kenneth H. Sutherland. The closing was precautionary against infantile paralysis. Dr. Sutherland told members of the council that not a single case of the dreaded disease is in Anaheim, but that fear of contagion from other areas warrants closing the pool. He explained that many out-of-town children use the pool and thus might spread the disease to this city. While the pool is closed to the public, it will be drained and the sides and floor and swimming equipment cleaned. PRO-RATE PLANS FOR VALENCIAS ARE ANNOUNCED 29,300 Cars to be Shipped Between June 1 and End of Season; 1500 After Nov. 1 The program for marketing the 1934 California Valencia crop, involving 29,-300 carloads of fruit estimated avail. MEMORIAL DAY SPEAKER WARNS AGAINST "PINKS" Anaheimers Pay Tribute to Hero Dead at Ceremony at Cemetery Wednesday Not "reds" hammering from outside, but "pinks" boring from within our governmental structure constitute the main danger of American decadence into communism, Attorney Thomas C. McFadden told Anaheimers who gathered at the cemetery in annual observance of Memorial day. The program was sponsored by the local American Legion post, for which Capt. R. E. Smith was committee chairman. McFadden placed the responsibility of upholding the glorious traditions and ideals for which our hero dead sacrificed their lives upon the shoulders of the American Legion and its Auxiliary. He paid tribute to the dead for their fight to promote freedom and democracy, and their success in handing down to us principles of government more sacred than life itself; upon placing on our shoulders the responsibility to carry on in the glorious battle of free men. Held that war, although in itself inexcusable, is better than slavery, and urged ex-service men to purge our government of "pinks" who unknowingly play into the hands of FOR VALENCIAS ARE ANNOUNCED 29,300 Cars to be Shipped Between June 1 and End of Season; 1500 After Nov. 1 The program for marketing the 1934 California Valencia crop, involving 29,300 carloads of fruit estimated avail from June 1 to the end of the season, was announced this week by the California-Arizona citrus marketing agreement. The plan, in the form of a resolution by the distribution committee, includes limitation of Valencia shipments after November 1 to 1,500 cars, in the best interest of that variety and without unreasonable detriment to the succeeding variety. The committee proposes to ship from week to week that portion of the commercial crop of 29,300 cars estimated to be available for domestic markets after May 31 that will in its judgment maintain a reasonable market for the average producer. The committee believes that with this announced policy and definite program for termination of Valencia shipments, each shipper is in position to figure out his individual plans for the season. He can make any necessary elimination of low grade or surplus fruit from week to week and avoid recurrence of accumulating surplus until the end of the season as many did last year. Porter Taylor from AAA headquarters in Washington, who is in charge of enforcement of all special crop agreements, told the growers advisory committee last week that it is the government's program to make the marketing agreements operate for the benefit of the producers. Taylor expressed his pleasure that the California-Arizona citrus marketing agreement is functioning well and making progress at improving growers' returns. He stated that citrus industry leaders in Florida as well as Texas, California and Arizona are strongly in favor of a national stabilization program next season. Advertising campaigns under the agreements, were reported under consideration in Florida, Texas and Porto Rico. Taylor stated that 17 agreements covering fruit and vegetable commodities are now in operation, 6 more are ready for signature by the industries and 35 more are in the process of formation. He believes that a large percentage of fresh fruits and substan- need their lives upon the shoulders of the American Legion and its Auxiliary. He paid tribute to the dead for their fight to promote freedom and democracy, and their success in handling down to us principles of government more sacred than life itself: upon placing on our shoulders the responsibility to carry on in the glorious battle of free men. Held that war, although in itself inexcusable, is better than slavery, and urged ex-service men to purge our government of "plinks" who unknowingly play into the hands of their more virulent brethren. The Memorial day services opened at 9:30 a.m. with the Boy Scouts raising the flag while the Legion's drum and bugle corps played "To The Colors." The Girl Scouts then led a pledge of allegiance to the flag, which was followed by laying flowers on the tomb of the unknown soldier in which Daughters of the American Revolution, members of the Women's Relief corps, Daughters of the Confederacy and American Legion Auxiliary participating. Lt. Kenneth Peck commanded the squad from Company K, 185th infantry, California national guards, in firing a salute to the dead, as buglers sounded taps. Captain Smith explained the significance of laying flowers on the grave of the unknown soldier. Representatives of the women's patriotic organizations, Commander Ray Van Waggoner of the Legion post, President Margaret Boysen of the Auxiliary, and Distinguished Service Crossman John Martens occupied the platform as William P. Webb Jr., was master of ceremonies at the mausoleum. Rev. Thomas H. Walker of the Presbyterian church said invocation, with Mrs. Walter Ross singing "For Peace and Glory," accompanied at the piano by Mrs. H. H. Heckman. The Auxiliary glee club sang "There's a Long, Long Trail," with Mrs. Kate McCullah accompanying. One Killed When Auto Hits Train Thomas I. McLaughlin, 52, of Long Beach, was killed and his widow, Mrs. Esther McLaughlin, was seriously injured, when the automobile they were driving crashed into a Southern Pacific freight train at the Ocean avenue crossing west of Stanton road Monday night. The wreckage was carried 150 yards before the train, travelling at an estimated speed of 20 miles an hour, came to a complete halt.

McLaughlin, 52, of Long Beach, was killed and his widow Mrs. Esther McLaughlin was seriously injured, when the automobile they were driving crashed into a Southern Pacific freight train at the Ocean avenue crossing west of Stanton road Monday night. The wreckage was carried 150 yards before the train, travelling at an estimated speed of 20 miles an hour, came to a complete halt. Fireman M. J. Garcia, witness to the crash, told Coroner Earl Abbey that the auto was traveling at about 50 miles an hour. Apparently the driver did not see the train till too late to avoid the crash, which he tried to avoid by swerving to the right. The body was taken to the Brown and Harrell mortuary, Santa Ana, and Mrs. McLaughlin to the county hospital where her condition was declared critical.
