THE GAZETTE Is Now In Its 64th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIV SURVEY SHOWS AMPLE SUPPLY OF FOODSTUFFS Drought in Central States Is Cause of Apprehension; Some Shortages Loom A survey of available food supplies for the nation just completed by the United States department of agriculture gives assurance that food supplies will be ample for the needs of normal consumption in this country, according to statistics received by the farm advisor's office from the bureau of agricultural economics. Although the drought and high temperatures have continued to reduce food supplies in the central and southern states, there is little prospect that the nation will suffer seriously from a food shortage during the next twelve months. In the areas where the drought and high temperatures have been most severe, the production of late-planted food crops has been reduced materially, but there appears to be ample surplus supplies being produced in other areas to take care of local shortages. Local scarcity will undoubtedly develop in many localities until distribution facilities are adjusted to take care of the situation. With smaller supplies and the necessary increase in volume mov- food shortage during the next twelve months. In the areas where the drought and high temperatures have been most severe, the production of late-planted food crops has been reduced materially, but there appears to be ample surplus supplies being produced in other areas to take care of local shortages. Local scarcity will undoubtedly develop in many localities until distribution facilities are adjusted to take care of the situation. With smaller supplies and the necessary increase in volume moving through commercial channels a higher level of food prices on the whole may be expected. The dry weather has been particularly severe on bread grains, but the large carry-over stocks of wheat assure an ample supply for domestic requirements. There are no shortages of rice in any of the producing areas. No appreciable reduction in total meat supplies is indicated for the remainder of 1934, but supplies in 1935 are expected to be very much smaller than in recent years. Short pastures and scarcity of feed are certain to cause some reduction in total milk production during the next 12 months, which will result in a decreased production of butter and cheese. The storage of feed crops and the attendant higher feed prices will also curtail the production of chickens and eggs. For the country as a whole the supplies of fresh, canned and dried fruits, of fresh and canned vegetables, and fish and fish products are expected to continue to be marketed in about the usual volume. Shortages of fresh fruits and vegetables will occur in the drought-stricken areas, but these can be offset to a large extent by supplies from surplus producing areas. Food Grains The large carry-over of wheat together with the new crop, even though the crop is small, gives assurances of ample supplies for the 1934-35 season. While the total domestic supplies of durum wheat and hard red spring wheat are unusually small, ample supplies will be available, because, if the demand is sufficient to warrant, such (Continued on page 6) SERA Band Gives 1st Concert Here Anahelm went to its first SERA band concert Wednesday night, given at the city park, with T. Dunstan Collier directing. The program started at 7:30 o'clock, opening with Sousa's march, "Semper GOVERNOR MERRIAM LOGAN JACKSON ED MAR St. Paul’s “Armor of God” Pictured at Union Service Rev. Thornton of Wesley M. E. Church, South, speaker Sunday Evening How the strong arm of a Roman soldier inspired Paul to picture Christians swathed in the "whole armor of God" was the subject of Rev. W. R. Thornton, pastor of the Wesley M. E. church, South, at the union services held in the city park Sunday evening. Launching into his subject, Rev. Thornton said: "St Paul had been pastor at Ephesus for three years. Now, while a prisoner at Rome, he writes to the church at Ephesus and to all Christians. "Paul's right hand is chained to the arm of a Roman soldier. Looking day after day on the Roman soldier who wore a complete body armor all the time, Paul could see why he was so successful in time of battle. Paul was inspired to write to all Christians, urging them to put on the whole armor of God, from the hamlet of God to having his feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace. And the enemy the Christian soldier must face is described by St. Paul in this language: "For we wrestle not with flesh and bone."

Dunstan Collier directing. The program started at 7:30 o'clock, opening with Sousa's march, "Semper Fideles," followed by "Lustpell" overture, (Keler-Bela), and "Wedding of the Winds" (Hall). Vernon Claytor, assisted by Jane Bethea, sang "A Song From Old Mexico," later taking a selection of "Mile Modiste" (Herbert). Band numbers included "From Dawn to Twilight" (Bennett), "Porto Rican Dance" (Weber) and "Gloria" (Losey). Project Supervisor W. W. Wleman announced Tuesday that the SERA band would definitely include Anaheim in its list of programs. This promise was made to the city council. Previously he had secured from the council a list of preferred dates. Judge Scovel Overrules Supervisors In Dismembering Centralia School District Centralia school district, which was dismembered and portioned out to three other school districts by act of the board of supervisors last December, now stands as a single school district again, as a result of Superior Judge G. K. Scovel's ruling on Monday. The superior court action came as a result of a petition from the school district itself, which sought a legal interpretation of its status. Judge Scovel found that original proceedings by which about half of the district had been annexed to the Buena Park district were faulty. For this reason, the act of the balance of the district, which found itself 'out on the limb' so to speak and had annexed to the Magnolia and Cypress districts, also was found illegal on the grounds that the original move was not according to law. The decision was rendered on the petition of the Centralia school district, although the Anaheim union high school district also had taken action to secure a court interpretation, since annexing of the district to Buena Park had robbed this high school of certain assessed valuations and transferred them to Fullerton union high school. Paul's right hand is chained to the arm of a Roman soldier. Looking day after day on the Roman soldier, who wore a complete body armor all the time, Paul could see why he was so successful in time of battle. Paul was inspired to write to all Christians, urging them to put on the whole armor of God, from the hamlet of God to having his feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace. And the enemy the Christian soldier must face is described by St. Paul in this language: 'Foe, we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.' Wherefore Paul says: 'Put on the whole armor of God.' Paul adds another piece to the spiritual armor which is not suggested by the body armor of the Roman soldier. It is prayer. Paul says: 'Pray always with all prayer and supplication of the spirit.' Now this one thing has a great meaning — there is no piece of the spiritual armor of God to go on the Christian soldier."

AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1934 In November EXPECT MANN TO LEAD FIGHT FOR GAS-TAX SPLIT Orange County Municipalities League Seeking Bigger Share of Gas Tax Funds When Mayor Charles H. Mann of Anaheim attends the September convention of the California League of Municipalities as the representative of the Orange County League of Municipalities, he will present a resolution calling upon the state group to endorse and prepare specific recommendations for a gasoline tax split whereby cities will obtain comparable road maintenance expense with rural areas, providing the mayor's committee of the local municipalities' organization approves. The resolution which Mayor Mann may introduce was framed at a meeting of the tax committee of the group at Santa Ana Monday night. Attending from Anaheim, in addition to the mayor, were Councilman Leo. J. Sheridan, past president of the league, and City Engineer E. P. Hapgood. The resolution follows: Resolved "That this committee recommend to the executive committee of the Orange county league that a plan for gas tax legislation be adopted for presentation."

Wylie, federal prisoners, in solitary confinement. Sunday night Assistant Jaller William Young noticed something wrong with the bars around the cells of the above prisoners. He immediately notified the office and a search was started, but nothing found. Not satisfied with the situation, Sheriff Jackson ordered another search of the 13 prisoners in the bank. Not till Monday afternoon were four hack saw blades discovered in a sugar can in Dardanella's cell. Sheriff Jackson ordered Dardanella and his adjoining cellmate, Wylie, to solitary confinement and announced that after they have served their federal terms, one for 11 years and the other for 22 years, Orange county may charge them with attempted jail breaking and destruction of public property. Dardanella goes to McNell's island 11 years for perjury, and Wylie twice that proves. The resolution which Mayor Mann may introduce was framed at a meeting of the tax committee of the group at Santa Ana Monday night. Attending from Anaheim, in addition to the mayor, were Councilman Leo. J. Sheridan, past president of the league, and City Engineer E. P. Hapgood. The resolution follows: Resolved "That this committee recommend to the executive committee of the Orange county league that a plan for gas tax legislation be adopted for presentation to the state league gas tax committee which will make the tax levy for street maintenance within the cities comparable to the levy for road purposes in the unincorporated areas. "The essence of the program is this: The local committee wishes the state committee to investigate with the view to drawing up a plan whereby cities would receive enough from the gas tax to pay the difference in the cost of street maintenance in the cities over the cost of road maintenance in unincorporated areas." "For instance, during 1933-34, it cost Anaheim more than $35,000 for street maintenance work. It cost all remaining unincorporated territory in the third supervisorial district about $35,000. "How much of a percentage the cities would need from the gas tax to make up this difference would have to be worked out by investigators from the state committee. The Orange county league's gas tax committee is recommending that this investigation be made, provided the executive committee, which comprises mayors of Orange county towns, approves." Seek Portection For Children at School Grounds In a general order approving state wide plans for guarding thousands of school children who will use school buses during the coming year, Chief E. Raymond Cato, brought attention to the owners and drivers of the 2,002,179 registered vehicles in California that schools will soon be open and that vigilance should be exercised in going through school zones. Each of the 1,943 school buses in the state which have a capacity of 72,176 for each trip, has been inspected by a traffic officer of the California highway patrol, for safety devices installed under rules of the state department of Millington 467 Cochran 649 Sunderlin 231 Downey 6844 Treadwell 556 Edington 1296 Secretary of State—Republican Jordan 15862 Democratic Jordan 1212 Controller—Republican Collins 3513 Riley 13395 Democratic Riley 6121 Collins 1873 Kindig 6612 Treasurer—Republican C.

BREAKING UP OF PARTY LINES LOOMS AS LIFT-LONG SOCIALIST GRABS DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION New Alignment Along Progressive-established Government Represented by Republican Candidate, Frank Merriam, Against Extreme Left Wing as Represented by Upton Sinclair Breaking up of old party lines was evident in California this week, following the primary election on Tuesday when a life-long socialist, Upton Sinclair, usurped the democratic nomination for governor of this state by one of the largest votes ever cast for governor at a primary election. His victory completely overwhelmed George Creel, a close friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The new alignment, as probably in the November election will be Governor Frank F. Merriam, as the republican nominee, representing progressive government along established lines, against Sinclair, the extreme left-winger of the democratic party. Raymond Haight, as the middle-of-the-road candidate on the progresive and commonwealth tickets, may be overshadowed by the intensity of the fight to keep the Eplec candidate from capturing the governorship of this great state. Merriam won handily in republican ranks, topping C. C. Young, former governor who was defeated for re-election by James Rolph in 1930, by about 150,000 votes, with John R. Quinn running third and Raymond Haight on the republican ticket running fourth. County Democrats Support Sinclair On Tuesday Poll Kaufman-McKinney Runoff Will Be Necessary: L. Jackson, Wilkie Lead for Sheriff Orange county democrats overruled sentiment of Anaheim members of their party at the Tuesday primary elections and sent a majority of 2,045 votes into the state totals in favor of Upton Sinclair over George Creel. This was not the only instance of rebellion against the regular standard-bearers of the bourbon party. Sheridan Downey, running pal of the radical socialist, walked out of this county with a democratic lead over his nearest opponent of more than 4,000 votes. However, since the state elections are pretty well lined up, Orange county residents this week concentrated on non-partisan county and township voting, where several surprises were experienced in as many quarters. District Attorney S. B. Kaufman led what appears to be one of the closest fights, getting 17,579 votes to J. Frank Burke's Register candidate B. Z. McKinney, who polled 16,873. There will be a run-off however, because Elmer Guy of Brea stepped in with a small 1696 vote to keep Kaufman from getting a clear majority at the primaries. Two other run-offs are necessary. Everybody expected to ballot in November on the two nominees for sheriff, but not many expected that Don Wilkie, former U. S. secret service man from Laguna Beach, would walk into the limelight with 10,372 votes to give the incumbent, Sheriff Logan Jackson, the run of his life. Jackson secured 11,332 votes, while the next highest candidate, Floyd W. Howard, received 6,251. Ex-Sheriff Sam Jernigan polled 3,934, while Anaheim's Harry Riley, who ran on a platform of a "business man for sheff," came in fifth with 3,146 and Ex-Sheriff C. E. Jackson sixth with 2,395. Art Eells, former deputy under Logan Jackson, came out with but 1335. Justine Whitney, incumbent recorder was way ahead of her field, but faces a runoff because she secured 16,474. Local Democrats Favor Geo. Creel Over U. Sinclair Anaheim Gives Thumping Vote To S. B. Kaufman and Harry Riley Traditional common sense came to the aid of Anaheim at Tuesday's primary elections when democrats of this city turned thumbs down on the socialist-democrat nominee. Upton Sinclair, and cast a thumping 871 vote for George Creel, the defeated runner-up. Republicans, on the other hand, strung along with the state by giving Frank F. Merriam, incumbent governor, a whooping 1459 vote, as contrasted with his nearest opponent, John Quinn, who obtained 357 ballots in this area. C. C. Young ran third with 253 and Raymond Haight hauled up with 176. Anaheim republicans favored Good-cell for lieutenant-governor; Riley for controller, Charles G. Johnson for treasurer; Webb for attorney general. Cattell for board of equalization; Johnson for senator and Collins for congress. Democrats slopped over to pick Sinclair's running-mate, Sheridan Downey, for lieutenant-governor; Ray L. Riley for controller, U. S. Webb for attorney general. Hiram Johnson for senator, and Sam Collins for congress. Collins, Johnson, Webb, and Riley are nominal republicans who also entered the democratic ticket for nominations, winning Anaheim's okeh. In township offices, Anaheim recognized the worth of Justice Charles Kuchel by giving him a substantial lead 2060 to Alva Hargrove's 1651, a majority of 409 which enabled the incumbent to win out over an adverse vote in some nearby districts. The final township vote disclosed Justice Kuchel winning by 185 majority, 3,174 to 2,989. Ed Marlon, incumbent constable, likewise polled a big vote in Anaheim, getting 1830 to the nearest and run-off candidate, Sam Snodgrass' 859. S. B. Kaufman, incumbent district attorney, was highly favored in Anaheim with a vote of 2549 to B. Z. McKinney's 115, while Elmer Guy had to be content with 178. Carl Monahan Expects Increased Prices For Valencias to Last Till November 15 Although general business conditions are not as hopeful in the midwest and east now as they were a year ago, immediate prospects for marketing of valencia oranges remain good with prospects of increased prices after the first of September, according to Manager Carl Monahan of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association. Mr. Monahan returned Saturday from a two-week inspection tour to Chicago and other markets, where he was sent by his board of directors. He left by airplane for Chicago, arriving there after an over-night trip. From the Windy City he visited Buffalo, New York and Boston. The citrus expert reports that business men generally do not look upon the immediate future with as much confidence or optimism as last year. However, this outlook does not affect the immediate marketing of valencias, which Monahan reports will continue good, with fine prospects of increased prices next month. These prices he expects to be maintained until the Florida fruit reaches market, about November 15.
