THE GAZETTE Is Now In Its 64th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIV ANAHEIM'S OWN DOES ITS PART TO BRING ORDER Co. K, National Guards, In Strike Area Protect Persons, Property "Anaheim's own," Company K, 185th California national guards, did its part in restoring order along the strike "warfront" at San Francisco and Oakland. How much longer the three officers and 68 enlisted men will remain on the strike-scarred battlefront nobody knows, although, according dispatches up till press time Thursday indicated the general strike was broken. In such a case, the troops may remain until complete order is established and danger from further disturbances gone, which might require a few weeks. Anaheim national guardsmen were encamped at San Luis Obispo for a two-week training course when at the end of their first week they received orders to proceed to San Francisco. Orders were received Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the troops were on troop trains at 6 p.m., on which lights were turned off till arrival at Oakland at 3 a.m. Monday morning. The local company was held in reserve duty till that evening. Anaheim Aids "Foster Parent Twice Since Colony C For the second time since that eventful day 78 years ago when a group of German-Americans gathered on Montgomery street in San Francisco to organize a vineyard society which eventually settled and named Anaheim, this city has gone to the aid of her foster-parent. Fate played a large part in keeping Anaheim linked to the early metropolis of California. Although plans for organizing a colony were considered by a group of Germans residing in the Bay City as early as 1854, serious work of perfecting the idea was delayed until 1856. In the next few years the 1100 acres of land purchased on the site of what now is Anaheim, was developed into 20-acre vineyards; water was brought in canals from the Santa Ana river for irrigation purposes; the colony became an oasis in the arid region between Los Angeles and San Diego, and for freight wagons operating between boats lightering at Anaheim Landing and the Mormon settlement at San Bernardino. Money, plans and settlers came from San Francisco. Just 50 years later, in 1906, Anaheim paid back part of its debt to San Francisco. Francisco.

City Plunge Will Re-open Saturday Upon the advice of County Health Officer Dr. Sutherland, the city council Tuesday evening voted to open the city park plunge this Saturday. Claims Heart Key To Understanding Of Life Mystery Rev. Ray Harker Speaker at Union Services In Park Sunday Evening "When Christ comes into life, despair enters its death pangs, and hope reblooms; hatred perish, sin shrinks away and piety prays; transient things shrivel and eternal verities assume their true magnitude and God rises in majesty on the soul." Rev. Ray C. Harker of the White Temple church climaxed his sermon at the Union services in the city's amphitheater Sunday evening as above, leading up to his story with a strong appeal for an understanding heart. Quoting "out of the heart are the issues of life," the speaker declared that "It is heart culture that brings peace; it is the heart that catches the music of heaven; it is the heart that opens the portals to sunlight of divine communication; it is the heart that must climb the mountains whence man visions God. There have been many voices crying in the wilderness, but the heart of man finds its truest prophet, its wisest seer and sweetest voice in Jesus Christ." The church choir, under the direction of Albert Craneaton, led the singing. Stanton Fails to Get Highway Help Highway Commissioner P. A. Stanton of this city wired from Sacramento to Chamber of Commerce Secretary George Reid last week that he had been unable to obtain state finances for the proposed extension of Manchester boulevard from Buena Park to a junction with the state highway at Katella road.

Anaheim's elementary and the Orange County and Health association City Plunge Will Re-open Saturday Upon the advice of County Health Officer Dr. Sutherland, the city council Tuesday evening voted to open the city park plunge this Saturday. Dr. Sutherland's recommendation followed a communication from the Los Angeles Pollomyelitis board, which stated that swimming pools and beaches are not a cause of spreading infantile paralysis. The council previously had determined to keep the pool closed at least till August 1. Accepts $5,500 for Power Line Damages C. C. Carrico, who sued the Southern California Edison company for $50,335 for injuries he received November 5 when a power line fell across his automobile at the Orange county park, accepted a stipulated judgment of $5500 damages, entered in superior court Monday. Legal machinery in process of determining what Orange county's next tax rate shall be turned a cog Monday when the board of supervisors completed its two weeks sitting as a board of equalization, during which time half dozen changes in assessed values were changed, and another half dozen complaints refused. With assessments now virtually as they will be when taxes are levied, the board turned its attention to the budget, which was submitted a week ago. In the meantime, the state board of equalization has an opportunity of changing assessments till August 15, but this rarely happens. About August 20, the board of supervisors will call for public hearings on the budget, and by September 1 will set the tax rate necessary to raise estimated needs of the county for the next year. Upon Assessor James Sleeper's recommendation several changes in assessments were levied, one through clerical error in which the property of the Laguna Beach Hotel corporation was assessed at $34,010 instead of $30,610 to which it was entitled when the 10 per cent reduction was applied as in other cases. R. L. Thiebaud was granted a cancellation of $325 of the $335 assessment upon his property, due to double assessment. Sleeper also recommended this change. Harry P. Adams of Long Beach suffered a reduction of his soldier exemption from $905 to $850 because his exemption in Los Angeles county had been increased. Assessments on the following were sustained: Philip De Smet, Santa Ana, on property in that city; Clarence E. Robinson, on property in Buena Park; E. C. Conger, on assessment against a boat at Balboa; Arthur Marowitz and J. D. Long of Los Angeles, on lots in Huntington Beach; F. H. Betts' on property in East Anaheim. Supervisors A To Aid T.

Elections in two weeks. 70 Cars Valence Shipped Th The Central Orange Exchange, representing packing houses, this week 70 carloads of valencias to market, and two cars for Foster Parent” Ice Colony Organized Francisco. The well-known disaster, known as the San Francisco earthquake and fire, leveled the city. Captain Herman Stern, First Lieutenant John Kellenberger and Second Lieutenant John Sellinger commanded Company K, with 55 enlisted men from this city, Olive, Fullerton and other nearby communities, guarded banks and public buildings, refuge camps and helped in relief details in the stricken area. Councilman F. A. Yungbluth Anaheim’s well known civic leader and merchant, was top sergeant. Others in the company included such well known citizens as Mayor Charles H. Mann. Police Judge Frank Tausch, Constable Ed Marion, Clyde and Monte Webb, Carl Pressel, Herman Schindler, Gene Adams and Harry Spleinmann. The company stayed 23 days before departing for Anaheim. Twenty-eight years after the earthquake and fire, Anaheim again comes to the aid of her stricken foster-parent in the north. The general strike, blood-shed and rioting culminated in an order to send Anaheim’s own Company K, California national guards entrained at San Luis Obispo, to the aid of San Franciscans. EXCHANGE AHEAD BY 9½ MILLIONS OVER LAST YEAR Oranges Lead In Gain, While Lemons, Grapefruit Also Show Improvement Definite trade confidence in the market due to control of shipments in California was given as the strongest factor in the improved citrus marketing situation this summer by Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of California Fruit Growers Exchange, upon his return from the east. Other favorable factors, in addition to continued Sunkist advertising, listed by Mr. Armstrong were the fine quality and appearance of the Valencia crop; favorable weather, which has not only stimulated demand for fresh citrus fruit juices but also reduces the quantity of competitive local fruits in various states and pronounced improvement in the credit situation in trade circles. He also stated that while the volume of liquor business has not been up to expectations, there is little doubt but that it has increased consumption of lemons. He visited sales offices of the Exchange in Montreal, Toronto and St. John, New Brunswick, as well as larger eastern markets in the United States. Urge Revision of Pro To Correction Highlights of the republican gathering in Santa Ana Tuesday evening, when campaign issues were discussed, follow: Raymond Best, chairman Riverside county republican central committee: "We must revise and develop our spirit of partisanship. This calls for revision of our direct primary system which now threatens usurpation of the democratic nomination for governor by a man who is no more a democrat than I am. The direct primary has made campaigns expensive. It costs a man running for governor $200,000. This tremendous financial burden must be met, too often by weak candidates with promises for lenency for special interests, who thus control politics more completely than ever before." Nels Edwards, Orange county's state senator: "I always have felt that the democrats were always wrong; they are worse now. For an outright boomerang I must cite the Frazier-Lempke bill, which makes loans on farm mortgages so precarious that any sane banker would not think of loaning a penny on them." Edward (Ted) Craig, 72nd district assemblyman of Brea: "You may get some idea of the enormity of a state senator or assemblyman's job when you learn that he must vote 300 times within 100 days." John S. Sheridan Death Is Mourned By Local Citizens Retired Resident Celebrated Golden Wedding Anniversary Last September Anaheim this week mourned the death of John S. Sheridan, 81, who died at his 402 North Lemon street home early last Friday morning, culmination of a stroke suffered in January. The body was taken to Backs, Terry & Campbell, where the holy rosary was recited Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock, followed by requiem mass at 9 o'clock at St. Boniface church. Burial was in Calvary cemetery, Los Angeles. Pallbearers were Sam Kraemer sr., L. B. Weber, Hugo Strodthoff, M. J. Bradley and George Bender. Mr. Sheridan retired and moved to Anaheim a quarter of a century ago, making many friends in this community. He was the father of Councilman Leo J. Sheridan, and besides his son is survived by his widow, Eunice Sheridan; a brother, Thomas Sheridan, of Nauvoo, Illinois, and three grandchildren, Kathleen and Ted Sheridan, and Golden Cunz, who has been living with his grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan celebrated their golden wedding anniversary last September, following an extended visit to their former home and scene of their marriage, Nauvoo, Illinois. While at Nauvoo they renewed many friendships and were entertained by several persons who attended the wedding half century before. Upon return to this city, the couple formally observed 50 years of wedded bliss, with about 100 persons attending the open house. Supervisors Asked To Aid T. B. Cause Anaheim's elementary school board and the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association petitioned the county government for fresh citrus fruit juices but also reduces the quantity of competitive local fruits in various states and pronounced improvement in the credit situation in trade circles. He also stated that while the volume of liquor business has not been up to expectations, there is little doubt but that it has increased consumption of lemons. He visited sales offices of the Exchange in Montreal, Toronto and St. John, New Brunswick, as well as larger eastern markets in the United States. California fruit is at a big disadvantage in eastern Canadian markets because of tariffs and the government shipping subsidy on citrus fruit from British possessions. He said he was always impressed by the better prices paid for brands that were most dependably packed and regularly supplied to a market, thus building a reputation among the auction or carload buyers and retail trade as well. The study of distribution methods of citrus fruits in eastern markets, suggested by the Exchange, will probably be undertaken by the research division of the farm credit administration, according to Armstrong. Final delivery of all fruit held on ships or docks in Pacific coast markets because of strike conditions was announced. Exchange business for the season to July 1 was reported to be over two million boxes and 9½ million dollars ahead of last year, with the biggest gains made on oranges, with lemon and grapefruit also well ahead. C. C. Teague, president of the Exchange, was re-elected vice-president of the national cooperative council and elected vice-chairman of the American institute of cooperation. He and Armstrong were speakers at the annual meeting of these bodies at Madison, Wisconsin. Both President Teague and Armstrong reported on the national citrus stabilization committee meeting in Washington, at which little headway was made toward national proration of shipments for next season. They expressed hope that Florida growers would still assert themselves in time to formulate a national program. Florida has a big crop on the trees, and the total supply of grapefruit from all states promises to be so large that growers are headed for disaster without some surplus control program, according to the Exchange officials. "Until we can be assured of a national plan that will work, we must aggressively hold our place in Atlantic seaboard markets," said Armstrong. "We cannot afford to retreat and let senator: 'I always have felt that the democrats were always wrong; they are worse now. For an outright boomerang I must cite the Frazier-Lempke bill, which makes loans on farm mortgages so precarious that any sane banker would not think of loaning a penny on them." Edward (Ted) Craig, 72nd district assemblyman of Brea: "You may get some idea of the enormity of a state senator or assemblyman's job when you learn that he must vote 300 times within 100 days. It is impossible to know all about every bill that comes before us. But we must know enough about the important bills to protect the interests of the people. The state faces a tremendous problem in balancing its budget in the face of fixed expenditures which eat up more than three-fourths of estimated income. We are open for and fair plan." William C. Jerome, Orange county supervisor: "The republicans must bring the American people back to the grass roots of constitutional government." Homer Cheney, president Republican Club of Orange county: "Our republican campaign must have two phases, Legion Will Send Buglers To Meet Delegates and Alternates to State Convention Named Monday Evening Annual reports were heard, the commander was instructed to write commendation letters and six delegates and six alternates were selected for the department of California, American Legion convention to be held August 13 through 15 at San Francisco, at Monday night's meeting of the local post. Delegates chosen to attend the conclave were Commander Ray Van Wagoner, J. Fred Sidebottom, J. H. Heffron, Ray E. Smith, J. C. Elliott and Fred Hays. Alternates were Clair Liebart, Al Dutzi, H. D. Akerman, R. E. Campbell, C. A. Cramer and Ed Hund. In addition to the delegates and alternates, the legion post will be represented by its drum and bugle corps, which will participate in statewide competition. It has won several awards in district competitions in Southern California, and is picked by many as a possible winner in the state meeting. Commander Van Wagoner, K. B. Rigby and Fred Hays constitute a com- Supervisors Asked To Aid T. B. Cause Anaheim's elementary school board and the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association petitioned the board of supervisors Tuesday for funds with which to make a tuberculosis survey among Mexican school children and for additional bed space at the county hospital for tubercular patients. Both requests stressed the urgent need for their cause. The elementary school board pointed out the need of a survey, not only to help those children affected, but as a means of prevention to other children. Much the same arguments were advanced by Dr. M. W. Hollongsworth, secretary of the Tuberculosis association. Nominate Smith As Toastmaster Head Only one nomination for each office was made Tuesday evening when the Anaheim Toastmasters club met at the Marigold cafe. Earl S. Smith was nominated for president to succeed Fullerton's Otto Idso, while William Claussen was named for vice-president and J. E. Rymer for secretary. Elections will be held in two weeks. 70 Cars Valencias Shipped This Week The Central Orange County Citrus Exchange, representing four Anaheim packing houses, this week was sending 70 carloads of valencias to the domestic market, and two cars for export. Local Red Cross in Financial Report Anaheim's chapter, Red Cross, has 34 cents in the general fund and a balance of $9.94 after expenditures of $905.87 and receipts of $916.15 during the past year. Miss E. Kate Rea, treasurer, announced on completion of her report for June 30. Miss Rea gave a detailed list of expenditures, of which the largest item was for milk for Anaheim school's undernourished students, $331.28; warm lunches for school children, $158.25; and membership fee to headquarters, $316. The Red Cross has a $500 certificate deposited in the Savings, Building & Loan association. POSTPONE RADIO ACTION Councilmen Tuesday evening pondered over the various prices submitted by Councilman M. W. Martenet Jr. for installation of four police radio sets, and then decided to investigate further before accepting bids. Mrs. Kohl Funeral Held On Thursday Funeral services for Mrs. Emma D. Kohl, widow of the late Henry Kohl, were held Thursday afternoon from the Hilgenfeld funeral home. Burial followed in the family plot at the Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Kohl died at an Orange hospital Tuesday morning. She was a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints of Santa Ana. The pastor of that church, Rev. Louis J. Ostertag, officiated at the services. APPROVE SEWER EXTENSION Approval of a sewer pipe line to be placed on East street south of North street, as far as the W. H. Hutton ranch, was given by the city council Tuesday evening. This extension will improve sewer service to five families.

George Bradley, secretary Republican Club of Orange county: "We are going to put the republicans on the map in Orange county, and put over the republican nominees in the November election." George Kellogg, Yorba Linda: "I am disappointed. We must unite on something, tariff or radicalism. I prefer calling attention to our people to the danger of radicalism — in fact, we stand on the threshold of something serious." Louis Kimball of Laguna Beach: "I am proud of the achievements of the republican — the constitutional party, if you please. Constitutional liberties are our issue, our heritage, our destiny." Ingall Hall, chairman Los Angeles county republican central committee: "Even the treaty-making powers have been transferred to the president. We are facing the greatest crisis in California history. It is a battle for survival of our system of government. I believe one of the most laudable ambitions one can have is that to hold public office, providing, of course, DECLARES STATE NOW FACING ITS GREATEST CRISIS 52 County Republicans Lay Plans for August 28 Primary Elections "This democratic administration has stirred up more radicalism and discontent in America than any other administration since inauguration of George Washington," Chairman Raymond Best of the Riverside county central committee, told 52 republican leaders of this county who met at the Green Cat cafe in Santa Ana Tuesday evening to prepare initial plans for coming campaigns. "The result is that California, for instance, has become a hot bet for freak ideas, such as the Townsend plan, and such other unsound theories." "California today faces the greatest danger in its history of stathood. Radical leaders have built up bogey men which threaten constitutional government. "It will take the strong, clear-thinking leadership of the republican party to bring us a sane triumph over communism, solve industrial disputes, and to return to the American citizen security guaranteed by an economical government, and the heritage of his liberty." have felt that the always wrong; they are an outright boom in farm mortgages on farm mortgages that any sane think of loaning a republican — the constitutional party, if you please.

We are facing the greatest crisis in California history. It is a battle for survival of our system of government. I believe one of the most laudable ambitions one can have is that to hold public office, providing, of course, one's motives are right." Sam Collins, congressman 19th district: "I know several democrats who are not running for re-election to congress this fall, for the good and ample reason that they do not further want to be a party to an administration which is leading us astray from constitutional government—the only kind of a government which has succeeded in the world's history. Let us not experiment on the people's liberties any longer." Tom Talbert: "I want to put in a good word for Howard Irwin. He has had a terrific job in times like these. We must look to the republicans to pull us out of the bullrushes." Lion Clubs Accept San Diego Invite Ladies' Night Program Will Precede Meeting; Ball Schedule Planned Orange county Lions clubs this week made preparation to attend a Lions club ladies' night to be held in San Diego August 18, preceding the regular council meeting two days later, following acceptance of an invitation at the county council meeting held in Garden Grove's Legion hall Monday evening. President Frank Tausch of Anaheim presided. Dr. C. C. Jarvis of Brea was appointed to arrange a schedule of baseball games in an annual tournament among clubs. Members attending from Anaheim included President Tausch, Floyd Shyder, Sam Hilgenfeld, Arthur Wilmsen-A. P. M. Brown, Dr. J. H. Boege and Dr. G. A. Paige. 20 SERA Men Will Tear Down Building Twenty men are scheduled to begin work Friday morning in razing the con- and such other unsound theories. "California today faces the greatest danger in its history of statehood. Radical leaders have built up bogey men—which threaten constitutional government. "It will take the strong, clear-thinking leadership of the republican party to bring us a sane triumph over communism, solve industrial disputes, and to return to the American citizen security guaranteed by an economical government, and the heritage of his liberties." The speaker flayed a direct primary system which permits men to run for nominations on several tickets. He pointed his finger at the plight of the democratic party in California, which is threatened with a nominee "who is no more a democrat than I am." He referred to attempts made at the last session of the state legislature to pass bills forever abolishing party lines in California, and highly commended State Senator Nels Edwards for his effective work in defeating the bills in the senate. Howard Irwin of Fullerton, who as chairman of the county republican central committee, presided. He cited the differences between rural and urban thought, pointing to the experience of exhibiting the moving picture "Abraham Lincoln" and said: "This fine picture depicting the life of a great American which you quite likely have seen and enjoyed, was a failure when shown in the great cities of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and like cities. But when it was finally released to the small cities and towns of the country it became a great success. The author is reported to have said, in reporting the results of the picture: 'Thank God for the small town — they still think in terms of America.'" The chairman introduced Senator Nels Edwards with the request that he tell about efforts to abolish the party system in California by passage of the Figenbaum-Jesperson bills. Senator Edwards modestly refrained from taking credit for defeat of the bills, but vehemently condemned efforts of certain groups to bring about such a condition. "The bill was defeated in the Senate by seven votes, after it was passed in the house," he said. Assemblyman Ted Craig, who is up for re-election from the 72nd district, declared that "not a thinking man is satisfied with conditions as they are. The state faces some mighty tough problems — no mere law or gesture will suffice. Our obligations must be met, and the taxpayers in the end must foot the bill, no matter what panacea..." 20 SERA Men Will Tear Down Building Twenty men are scheduled to begin work Friday morning in razing the condemned high school administration building and auditorium. The work is being done under SERA, which provides 30 hours work each week for the 20 men. Work of moving two wings of the building back to make room for the one-unit structure approved by a $275,000 bond issue voted two months ago, already has begun. Miss Yungbluth Describes Paradise Found On Island of Bali, Near Dutch East Indies Imagine a beautiful, densely follaged island inhabited by a million and a half souls who scorn "filthy lucre." work but one third of the time, have no meddlesome bureaucracies because there is scarcely any government, where the people own their own farms and homes, have a voice in their modest government and where there is no formal education. Such a place is no fantasy, but truthfully pictures "our last paradise," Miss Dorothy Yungbluth, attractive daughter of Councilman and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth, told members of the Kiwanis club at Tuesday's luncheon meeting in the Elks clubhouse. The place, Miss Yungbluth states, is the Island of Bali, east of Java in the Dutch East Indies. She visited it during a four-month trip early this year, during which she covered 24,000 miles and stopped at a score of ports. Miss Yungbluth stressed the beauty of the islands, the simple mode of living, the simple education and apparent lack of desire to accumulate great wealth. On the island there are only 50 automobiles, all of ancient vintage, the speaker stated. The island itself is terraced. The people work but four months out of the year, and appear happy. Religion and artistic tendencies are evident. The only type of education given in any form like our schools is the rule to teach girls between nine and twelve the temple dance. Accomplishment of the girls in dancing exempts their parents from taxation under the simple form of government in the islands, for which the Netherlands appoints a government. Orange county passengers on the boat presented the natives with valencia oranges, which proved popular, according to Miss Yungbluth.
