Ch PEACE EUROPE 150 Orange County Cattle Purchased In Drought Relief Committee Appraises and Buys San Juan Capistrano Lot for Shipment The first Orange county shipment of cattle under the drought relief program of the AAA was made last week from San Juan Capistrano, when 150 head of cattle were appraised and purchased by government officials. A drought relief committee has been selected by the stockmen consisting of Donald Larter, Huntington Beach; Arley Leck, San Juan Capistrano; E. Eyran Huff, El Modena; Ned Clinton, Westminster; and R. W. Hull, Santa Ana. W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, is secretary of the committee. E. A. Wakeham of Garden Grove and Walter Lamb of Santa Ana have been appointed local cattle appraisers for the relief service. Harold E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, has been appointed county director of the relief program, representing the federal department of agriculture. County Budget Is Adopted Tuesday The board of supervisors Tuesday adopted the county budget for 1934-35, which will raise $1,297,978 by general county taxes, and special rates on harbor and flood control districts. The total budget is for $6,327,113. John R. Quinn Speaks Here This Friday John R. Quinn, candidate for republican nomination for governor of California, will arrive in Anaheim Friday afternoon at 1:10 o'clock for a 40-minute visit. He will address followers at the Knights of Pythias hall. From here he will go to Placentia, then to Brea, La Habra and back to Fullerton. Million Boxes of Foreign Markets The California Fruit Growers Exchange has exported 1,115,000 boxes of citrus fruits to European and trans-Pacific markets to date this season, according to report of assistant sales manager H. E. Pitt. Over half this amount consisted of Valencia oranges sold in European counties, upon which returns were reported to be below the domestic averages, but 50 cents per box above last year's export average. President C. C. Teague brought out the fact that all the fruit was sold that could be sold in domestic markets every week and that the export sales represented that much additional outlet. He stressed the need for additional markets to take the surpluses in sight and commended the sales department for its widespread export distribution. Grapefruit exports to Europe by the Exchange have reached almost 200,000 boxes, on which results to date are slightly above domestic averages. Good quality and condition have been pointed to the life lesson in service, and how to make a living life, that is the pre-generation. Rev.

County Budget Is Adopted Tuesday The board of supervisors Tuesday adopted the county budget for 1934-35, which will raise $1,297,978 by general county taxes, and special rates on harbor and flood control districts. The total budget is for $2,327,113. Tax rates will be set on August 29 by the board. If indications in the budget are followed, the inside rate will be 92 cents, and the outside $1.04, with a 4.3 cent rate for the harbor district interest and sinking fund, and a five-cent rate for the flood control district. SHIPS 02 CARS Ninety cars of valencias will be shipped to domestic and two to foreign markets through the Central Orange County Citrus Exchange this week. Santa Barbaran Chosen to Head SERA In Orange County; 808 On Relief Rolls Here When Terence Halloran of Santa Barbara, appointed SERA director for Orange county last Tuesday, takes his post here on September 1 he will find upwards of 808 men working on relief rolls in this county. This figure become public with announcement from Acting SERA Administrator Vernon D. Northrop that 69,099 persons were on relief rolls this week. This figure listed 808 in Orange county. Los Angeles leads the parade with 32,640, San Francisco follows with 11,588, Alameda is third with 7,300, San Bernardino is fourth with 5,500; San Diego is fifth with 3,175; and Riverside sixth with 1,924. Orange is seventh. Halloran's appointment was announced by Charles I. Schottland, SERA field agent and for several weeks acting director for Orange county. The emergency relief committee of this county has been running the SERA program because it could not get together on naming a local director. The committee split between naming Mayor L. A. Hogue of Brea and Anaheim's William J. Tway. As a consequence, selection was left up to the state administration. In his announcement about total SERA relief rolls in the state, Administrator Northrop said: "A conservative estimate indicates that the employment of these men and women is providing subsistence for more than 275,000 persons who otherwise would be without the necessaries of life."

Drumm and Campaign Director J. C. Metzgar announce that more than 100 automobiles bearing boosters for Merriam-for-Governor will enter a big parade to drive through the populous sections of Orange county this Saturday afternoon. The parade will form at the Fullerton City park on West Commonwealth avenue at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, August 25, or earlier. Bumper signs and display stickers will be distributed to each car. The parade will pass Fullerton to La Habra, thence to Brea. Big Wave Sweeps Newport, Balboa; Damages $35,000 Approximately $35,000 damage was done at Newport and Balboa beaches when Tuesday night's tidal wave swept over the sand bar and down Central avenue, partially wrecking a house in the 1000 block. Another house was condemned when its foundation began to wash away. Sand stood from two to four feet deep in several streets, as Balboans and Newport Beachites began "digging out." The total wave struck a coast line about 100 miles in length, beginning way above Malibou and running as far south as Oceanside. The wave was peculiar in that no heavy winds, which usually accompany such oceanic disturbances, was blowing. Experts laid the trouble to some disturbance, possibly an earthquake, many miles at sea. Trustees Reveal High Confidence In New Inspector Urge A. H. Pibel Resign For Purpose of Accepting State Position Pastor Points To Service as Lesson Taught by David Declares Not Making a Living But Making a Life Test of Christianity Pointing to the life of David as a lesson in service, and claiming it is not how to make a living but how to make a life, that is the problem before our generation, Rev. William Rogatsky, of the Broadway Methodist church, preached at the union services in the city park Sunday night. His subject was taken from Acts 13:36, "David Served his own generation by the will of God." Rev. Rogatsky declared that "the highest and best contribution you can make to your generation is the gift of a well-rounded and worthy life. To do this certain principles must be regarded faithfully. "David served. This is the supreme test of life. It is the Master's test. The divine emphasis in life is our deeds. It was Gladstone who said, 'One example is worth a thousand arguments.' What the world needs today is service. Its wounds cannot be healed; its grievances cannot be redressed; its injustices cannot be corrected except by service. It by service that we vindicate our faith. Faith is a passion. It lifts, it achieves, it arrives in service. Great believers always are great doers." "David served his own generation. Do we allow the present generation to go unimproved? Do we call such form at the Fullerton City park on West Commonwealth avenue at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, August 25, or earlier. Bumper signs and display stickers will be distributed to each car. The parade will pass Fullerton to La Habra, thence to Brea, Placentia, Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Graden Grove, Westminster, Seal Beach, and down the coast through Huntington Beach, Newport, and Balboa Beaches, backtracking to the highway and down past Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach, and back via Laguna canyon and Tustin. Motorcycle officers will escort the caravan, with the Spanish American war veterans' drum and bugle corps next in line. In the meantime, Fran Shinner Jr. of Anaheim this week organized a Young Men's Merriam for Governor club, and other steps were taken to speed the campaign to a climax just before election next Tuesday. Results of straw ballots throughout California brought cheer and encouragement to workers, with Governor Frank F. Merriam leading the field, both republican and democratic, by a substantial margin. Merriam was shown with a total of 1819 votes compared to the nearest vote rival, Upton Sinclair, who polled 1118. Far down the line came George Creel with 668, then C. C. Young with 596, followed by John R. Quinn with 477, Justus Wardell with 280, Raymond Haight with 192, Milton K. Young with 29 and Malaby with 15. Chances of Governor Merriam carrying Orange county, according to Chairman Frank Drumm, are exception bright. In an official "thank you" to workers for their aid, Drumm, T. B. Talbert, N. T. Edwards, Albert Launer, Mary Safley and Metzgar stated: "It goes without saying that we sincerely believe that Governor Merriam is the logical candidate to succeed himself as acting Governor. He is honest, efficient and experienced beyond all other candidates in the business of the State of California, and it seems almost certain that Orange county will vote him a commanding lead at the primary election, August 28" Extend Time Limit of Applications for Seed and Crop Loans Urge A. H. Pibel Resign For Purpose of Accepting State Position Resignation of A. H. Pibel from the Anaheim union high school board of trustees was urged upon him by other members of the board for the purpose of securing his expert services as state inspector to assure best possible construction of the new one-unit structure to be erected here at a cost of $275,000, a communication from the board of school trustees reveals. Announcement of Pibel's resignation was made by Chairman Henry Ramm on Tuesday. The next day the board made the following official explanation: "Since the board finds the building operations now under way require a great deal of careful attention and technical knowledge, and Since the board has practically guaranteed to the local taxpayers that they would see that any funds expended on the building program would be expendred prudently and carefully and as far as possible with merchants and labor located within the high school district, Since the only member on the board with the training necessary to be thoroughly familiar with building and all the phases of the building program is Mr. Pibel, and Since the board has the utmost confidence in the ability of Mr. Pibel, and Since at the request of the board Mr. Pibel took and successfully passed the rigid examination of the State of California to qualify as a state inspector of building construction, and has received his appointment, and Since in order to act as state inspector and to represent the board in the building program it is not possible to be at the same time a member of the school board, and Since it is the hope and desire of the board that Mr. Pibel act as state inspector and representative, therefore, Be it resolved that the members of the board suggest and request that Mr. Pibel temporarily resign from his membership to this board and accept the position as state inspector and supervisor of building operations, with the hope that upon completion of the building operations Mr. Pibel will again contract as a member of the was Gladstone who said, "One example is worth a thousand arguments." What the world needs today is service. Its wounds cannot be healed; its grievances cannot be redressed; its injustices cannot be corrected except by service. It by service that we vindicate our faith. Faith is a passion. It lifts it achieves, it arrives in service. Great believers always are great doers. "David served his own generation. Do we allow the present generation to go unimproved? Do we call such neglect service? Let us begin with the Christian home. As goes the home so goes the state. As goes the Christian home so goes the church, which is the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. "I praise the Roman Catholic church, the Jewish faith and the Protestant church for their Christian service in launching a movement for clean movies. We are to render such help as Christians that will bring about clean movies. How about your Christian service for a generation for a smokeless womanhood and local option? David served his generation well. Are you serving? Gasoline Taxes for July In Sharp Drop Continuing a decline begun last June, California gasoline taxes for July reached a total of only $2,996,992.61, falling short of similar collections for the same month of last year by $323,239.65, or 9.7 per cent. Leaders, 18 Scouts Return form Camp Scoutmaster Carl J. Schwelss and 18 Scouts returned Friday evening from a three-day camp at Green river. Those attending camp were: Clark Scott, Billy Johnson, Charles Paxton, Frank Taylor, Robert Faust, John Jackson, Jack Schwelss, Calvin Shipman, Kenneth Gage, Bill Swisher, Norman Ozias, Stanley Ozias, Ralph Glakesley, Herbert Johnston, Carroll Potter, Bill Schwelss, Carl Agnew, and James Robeson. Extend Time Limit of Applications for Seed and Crop Loans The farm advisor's office is in receipt of amendatory regulation extending the date for acceptance of applications for loans to purchase seed fororage crops, under the act of June 19, 1934, also for the acceptance of applications for emergency crop loans. Applications will be accepted for both these loans until close of business September 15, 1934. No time limit is placed upon the receipt of applications for vegetable and truck loans recently authorized, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. Daughter of Local Couple Operated On Mrs. Myrtle Whitaker of Newport Beach, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Hollingworth of 325 East Broadway, Anaheim, Thursday was reported as "doing as well as could be expected," following an operation for appendicitis last Monday. Attending physicians reported that since they found a reptured appendix, Mrs. Whitaker would not be past danger till about Saturday. JOINS BUSINESS COLLEGE Miss Benora Tuttle of Fargo, N. D., Monday became associated as partner with A. N. Symnies in the Anaheim Business College.

Persons Over 90 to Get Special Honors Two classifications, those of 100 or more years of age and those of 90 or more years of age, are invited to the annual picnic of persons "70 years young," to be held Saturday, September 1, at Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles. Persons nearing or over the century mark will be invited to the platform during the program hour. There will be registers, hot coffee, badges, basket dinners and a program of entertainment. Special honors also will be conferred upon all couples married 50 years or more, according to Secretary C. H. Parsons of the State societies. ANAHEIMERS VOTE ON 151 NAMES ON TWO PARTY TICKETS FOR 28 OFFICES AT TUESDAY ELECTION 11 Candidates Running On Both Republican and Democratic Tickets; Republicans Ballot on 40, Democrats On 67 for State, Legislative, and County Central Committee Offices Republicans and democrats in Anaheim township go to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots for an even 140 candidates running for 28 offices. Of the 140 candidates, 11 are running on both tickets, making a grand total of 151 names appearing on the two tickets, from which all the state, congressional, and legislative offices will be filled. Chief political interest in Anaheim centers on the governorship race, with Acting Governor Frank F. Merriam favored to win the republican nomination; the district attorney’s race, with S. B. Kaufman looking like the winner; in the sheriff’s contest, which looks like a toss-up between three candidates for nomination, and in the county auditor battle, where Lloyd H. Banks is showing unexpected strength. The republicans of this township vote on a total of 40 candidates for state, congressional, legislative and county central committee offices, while the democratic vote on a total of 67 for the same positions. Judicial, school, county and township offices are non-partisan, with the same names appearing in the same order for the same offices. These include choice BURKE BELIEVES EVERYONE ELSE IS OUT OF STEP McFadden and Hoskins Quote From Register In Citing Communist Support Everybody in Orange county is out of step but J.

The law does not require that the stores be closed, permitting drug stores handling liquors to remain open for other business. The administrator of the state board of equalization, W. C. Shay, says: "The state board of equalization will take steps to revoke the license of anyone found guilty of violation of this act." the district court of appeal, fourth appellate district, and justice of the peace, Anaheim township. In the schools classification, the voters will choose between three candidates for state superintendent of public instruction, and for or write in an opponent to Incumbent Ray Atkinson, county superintendent of schools. County and township offices, in column four of the sample ballot, find County Clerk J. M. Backs, County Assessor James Sleeper, and County Treasurer E. B. Trago running unopposed. Chief interest in the county contests centers on the offices of district attorney and sheriff. Because of the injection of J. Frank Burke's selfish interest into the district attorney's race, it has assumed major proportions, with the feeling generally prevalent that Burke wishes to control the office and therefore is seeking to oust the incumbent, S. B. Kaufman, whose record of achievement and high proportion of convictions was commended by officials throughout the state as one of the best examples of efficient public service in California. Burke, resorting to mud-linging and most dirty tricks known to the old school of politicians, came out with full page articles in defense of a communist McFadden and Hoskins Quote From Register In Citing Communist Support Everybody in Orange county is out of step but J. Frank Burke—in J. Frank Burke's own opinion broadsided Wednesday following a public meeting in Anaheim the night before when Attorney Thomas L. McFadden and Rancher Louis Hoskins cited Burke and his Santa Ana Register as the chief fo-mentors of communistic trouble in the county. Burke resorted to his familiar political trick of trying to evade an issue by claiming that he sympathized with the working men, wanted to see everybody enjoy their constitutional rights of free speech, et cetera—but neglected to explain why, as pointed out by McFadden, he had editorially espoused the communistically-inspired general strike at San Francisco, generally admitted as such by labor leaders themselves, and similar outbursts against organized society, especially against farmers in Imperial valley. The mass meeting in Anaheim was held at the Kinghts of Pythias hall, packed to over-flowing by an audience which also contained Communist Charles McLaughlan and a center of radicals. Hoskins reviewed the history of communism, pointing to the serfs in Russia and expressing the opinion that the unemployed in America are vastly better off than the general run of communists in Russia, who have less food, less clothing, less education and fewer automobiles. He doubts whether a Russian people living in a condition of servitude could possibly evolve a system of government better than a free people who have built upon a democratic form of government for centuries. McFadden read from a prepared manuscript because, he explained, he wanted to avoid the possibility of misquoting, which he claims the Register did when reporting the communist trial at Placentia several weeks ago. Orange county conditions were stressed by the attorney, blaming the publisher of the Santa Ana Register — J. Frank Burke — with being responsible for most radical outburst here. McFadden, stressing the danger of un-American labor troubles in this county, said: "Already five incipient strikes have been fomented, four in the citrus industry and one in the milk industry, and bloodhed has occurred. These are all directly traceable to communistic sources.

Jupiter Pluvius thundered up the coast from San Diego Sunday, drenching spotted areas with as much as half an inch of rain, halting pickling of oranges for a short period, and "favored" Anaheimers with a thunder and lightning show period, a Rhoomr -dftheening show. Native sons and daughters were surprised by the "noise from the heavens," which lasted over a period of about three hours. Residents who formerly lived in the East recalled the regular "old fashioned" storms which brought joy during dry periods. Little damage was done. Anaheim received a total of .32 of an inch of rain, the first measurable quantity during the month of August for many years. Several telephone lines were reported out of order for short periods, while the 10,000-volt power line from the Katella substation was thrown out of commission. This line leads directly to Anaheim, but service here was not disrupted, because the alternate line from Yorba Linda was cut in. One small transformer here was burned out, and many fuses blown. Reports indicated that the storm blew in from the ocean somewhere between San Diego and Oceanside, following the coastal range northward. From San Juan Capistrano the storm blew in toward the mountains, leaving fairly heavy total falls at Irvine, with .45; Yorba Linda,.26, and Fullerton,.34. Some places in Santa Ana received hardly a trace of rain, in other parts of the city improvised gauges showed nearly an inch.
