THE GAZETTE Is Now In Its 64th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIV ONE COMPLAINT HALTS CONCERT AT LOCAL PARK No More Free Concerts This Season Unless Musician Withdraws Objection Complaint of one or more Anaheim musicians that the SERA band concerts in the city park amphi-theater were robbing local musicians of employment prevented Anaheimers from enjoying at least one concert and threatens to put a haunt to any further free concerts in the city park this season. Not till Wednesday afternoon were local residents told of the cancellation of the scheduled Wednesday night concert on account of complaints from local musicians. Efforts to trace the complaints on Tuesday and Wednesday morning had failed, automatically requiring the concert be cancelled. Government regulations are extremely strict whenever it appears that the free musical concerts would interfere with regular employment of musicians. Anaheim merchants, desiring to continue the concerts for which this city has gained considerable reputation in recent years, started a fund to assure concerts here this year. But the fund proved exceptionally small, so small in fact, that it was doubtful if even one concert could be paid for. Accordingly Government regulations are extremely strict whenever it appears that the free musical concerts would interfere with regular employment of musicians. Anaheim merchants, desiring to continue the concerts for which this city has gained considerable reputation in recent years, started a fund to assure concerts here this year. But the fund proved exceptionally small, so small in fact, that it was doubtful if even one concert could be paid for. Accordingly, officials of the merchants' association were debating returning the cash collected and cancelling the pledges when they learned that an entirely separate action had been started by City Engineer E. P. Hapgood to obtain the SERA band for the same purpose. Complaining musicians evidently believed the fund would have been spent for hiring of local musicians, and, according to Hapgood, evidently believed the fund was larger than it proved to be. Anyway, after the first concert a week ago, which was received with enthusiastic glee by local music lovers, the complaint was lodged with the County SERA Project Supervisor W. W. Wieman. "We hope to have the situation straightened out by next week, and trust that Anaheimers may have their full quota of concerts," Hapgood said Thursday morning. "Project Supervisor Wieman is endeavoring with us to find out the real cause of the trouble. It appears that the complaint was filed through the Musicians' Protective Association's Mr. Cartwright of Santa Ana by an Anaheim musician. We could not locate Mr. Cartright in time to get the affair straightened out for this week. I am reasonably sure that when the situation is fully explained to the complaining musician or musicians the objection will be withdrawn." "If the objection is withdrawn the city will get at least six more concerts, or more if weather permits. On the other hand, if the complaint remains the city will have no more concerts this season." Drunk Driver Gets 75 Days in Bastile Judge Frank Tausch on Wednesday morning sentenced Carmel Flores of 409½ South Clementine street to 75 days in the county jail, following failure to pay $150 alternative fine, following conviction on charges of drunk driving.

Dr. Walters was elected at a spirited meeting of the local post Tuesday evening. For the past two years he was chairman of the local post's Americanism committee, and was interested in the recent action of the state department resulting deportation of radicals from America. Earl Fulfer and Clair Liebhart were named first and second vice commanders, and H. Glenn Merrill was chosen finance officer and James Heffron adjutant, all without opposition. Ed Hund was picked sergeant-at-arms over spirited opposition by friends of George Betzsold and Ralph Cox, while Ted Masterson was victor over L. E. (Tex) Middleton and George Betzsold for chaplain.

Ford could not handle both men at once and called for police help. One of the Mexicans had disappeared before the police arrived, but Flores was held firmly in the hands of the law.

Chapin DISGRUNTLED TO SEEK OPPOSITION TO SAM COLLINS Incumbent Gets Nominations of Republicans and Democrats at Primary Congressman Sam L. Collins, who captured both the republican and democratic nominations in the primaries, may have opposition despite his apparent assured election. Disgruntled elements in Riverside county, not relishing the thought of a republican entering and capturing the democratic nomination, are trying to get several hundred registered voters who did not cast their ballots at the primaries to sign petitions to place an independent democrat on the ticket to oppose the incumbent. Those in charge of the scheme estimate that about 300 signers will be necessary, since the law states the number must be not less than one per cent nor more than two percent of the party's votes cast in the three counties at the 1930 election. While the political-minded citizens were watching the maneuvers against Congressman Collins this week, they also cast an eye over results of the county central committee elections, when an incumbent republican from the third supervisorial district, and two People of Small Means To Get Aid From Government Under Union Credit System Farm Credit General Agent Ellis of Oakland Advised to Get Eleventh District Organization Ready to Issue and Extend Benefits Under Co-operative Plan of Chartered Groups Governor William I. Myers of the farm credit administration at Washington advised General Agent Willard D. Ellis of the administration's eleventh district this week that early in September the credit organization would be ready to commence implementing the federal credit union act passed by the last congress and approved by President Roosevelt June 26. Ellis was advised to set up a local organization within his district to supervise extension of the benefits conferred by the act through California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. By the act's preamble a federal credit union system is authorized to function under the farm credit administration "to establish a further market for securities of the United States and to make more available to people of small means credit for provident purposes through a national system of cooperative credit, thereby helping to stabilize the credit structure of the United States." In effect, so Ellis said recently, the FCA will now have supervision over a nation-wide thrift-promoting cooperative credit machine which will not supplant 464 similar institutions already established under state laws but will carry the credit union idea to nationwide proportions. By the terms of the act the governor of the farm credit administration has general supervision over the new set-up. Herbert Emmerich, administrative assistant under Governor Myers, has been made acting director of the credit union section, with Claude R. Orchard of Oregon, his SCHOOL CHILDREN TREK TO CLASSES WITHIN TEN DAYS Within the next 10 days all school children of Anaheim will trek back to their classrooms. Dates for the opening of the several schools vary, with the new Catholic Central high school (old St. Joseph's on West Broadway) opening on Wednesday, Sept. 12; St. Catherine's Military Academy opening on Tuesday, Sept. 11; and the elementary and high schools of the city opening the following Monday, Sept. 17. St. Catherine's expects almost its full enrollment on the opening date with cadets settling down to classes and drills the first day. The Catholic Central high school has been completely remodeled to care for its initial dedication to high school work, catering to students from all over the county, according to Sister Regina Claire, Mother Superior. The school also will care for girls of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades as boarders. Sister St. Philoone will be principal. While the political-minded citizens were watching the maneuvers against Congressman Collins this week, they also cast an eye over results of the county central committee elections, when an incumbent republican from the third supervisorial district, and two incumbent democratic committeemen were unscathed. One particularly striking feature of the central committee elections was the failure of Epic candidates to place more than four candidates on the democratic committee, two in the first and two in the fifth supervisorial districts. In the third district, the republicans had a choice of eight men for seven positions, dropping Harry Ray and electing, with their respective votes: Harold Kelrsey, 3865; John B. Horner, 3763; Howard B. Irwin, 3717; I. D. Jaynes, 3657; John Kellengerber Jr., 3563; Ralph W. Maas, 3447; and Ernest R. Walker, 3435. Ray, incumbent received 3338 votes. Two incumbents, Lee M. Hooper and John L. Strickland, were stricken from the democratic committee membership, with the following election: Dan O'Hanlon, 2190; H. E. W. (Doc) Barnes, 1830; R. B. Carey, 1675; Robert C. Ewing, 1634; Carl W. Brenner, 1615; and Robert W. Ramsey, 1566. Epic candidates elected to the democratic central committee are Harry G. Gerhart and Guy Richards in the first, and Barbara M. Brooks and William K. Williamson in the fifth, all new to the committee. Invite Women to Enter Fullerton Cake-bake Contest Women of northern Orange county are invited to enter their favorite recipes in the cake-baking contest 'to be held under the auspices of St. Elizabeth's Episcopal women's guild at Fullerton on August 14. The affair will be in conjunction with a public cooking school at the Fox Fullerton theater. A small admission fee will be charged by the guild, and are on sale in Fullerton now. The grand prize for the cake winning contest will be a Hotpoint electric range. Other prizes will include two electric mixers, a table lamp, an electric grill, a gallon of fly spray and a sprinkler a dry coffee pot! FCA will now have supervision over a nation-wide thrift-promoting cooperative credit machine which will not supply 464 similar institutions already established under state laws but will carry the credit union idea to nationwide proportions. By the terms of the act the governor of the farm credit administration has general supervision over the new set-up. Herbert Emmerich, administrative assistant under Governor Myers, has been made acting director of the credit union section, with Claude R. Orchard of Omaha his assistant. Following closely the credit union plan for many years in successful operation among group employees such as postal employees, firemen, teachers, operatives in large industrial plants and business offices, the chief objective of the new federal credit union system will be the encouragement of thrift and the lending of money for provident or productive purposes. This will be done by chartered groups having a common bond of association or occupation or living within well defined communities. Though the farm credit administration has been delegated to supervise this new department, so General Agent Ellis pointed out, membership in a credit union will not be confined to farmers. It may be urban as well as rural. Under the congressional act of authorization a minimum of seven persons may apply for a charter for a credit union, though for financial reasons a potential membership of at least 50 is deemed advisable. Organizers are advised to delegate one of their members to contact farm credit administration officials, if possible, though applications for charters in blank and proposed by-laws accompanying may be mailed to the FCA offices serving the district. Members provide the funds for loaning to a union personnel by purchasing $5 shares in the chartered organization; the government supplies neither capital nor funds for lending purposes. Loans may be made to members, Ellis explains, not exceeding $50 on the (Continued on page 6) St. Catherine's expects almost its full enrollment on the opening date with cadets settling down to classes and drills the first day. The Catholic Central high school has been completely remodeled to care for its initial dedication to high school work, catering to students from all over the county, according to Sister Regina Claire, Mother Superior. The school also will care for girls of the sixth, seventh and eight grades as boarders. Sister St. Philomene will be principal. Anaheim union high school will take up classes in two permanent and three temporary buildings. Wings of the old structure are being moved back to now to permit starting of the new $275,000 one-unit plant recently voted. School starts on Monday, Sept. 17. Elementary schools of the city will begin promptly at 9 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 17, with the junior high school students (seventh and eighth graders) beginning classroom enrollment promptly at 8:30 a.m. the same day, with full-day classes scheduled from the start. Children entering the sixth grade must be six years old by March 17, 1935; and children entering kindergarten must be five years old by March 17, 1935. Kindergarten will be held at Horace Mann, Lincoln, George Washington, (old Central), and Citron. Anticipated enrollment on the first day at the elementary schools is 1565 All school buildings have been completely repaired, painted when needed, and cleaned for the beginning of the new school year.

Schumacher entered his Placentia home Sunday evening he evidently frightened a burglar who fled with a watch an dother articles worth $15.35, according to a report filed with the sheriff's office. Sam Adams Leaves On Eastern Trip Sam E. Adams, well known manager of the Pickwick Hotel, was planning to leave Anaheim Thursday evening or early Friday morning via motor bus for New York and thence to Cape Cod, Mass., where he expects to visit his children who preceded him by two months. Mr. Adams is leaving on an extended vacation on account of ill health. Mrs. Adams expects to remain here for a short time, and then will join her husband in the east. During the absence of Mr. Adams, Fred A. Draper, formerly manager of the Miramar hotel in San Pedro, will have charge of the local hostelery.

COUNTY'S RATES OF TAXATION SET AT .92 AND $1.04 Anaheim's School Levy Fixed at $1.76; Grammar .45, and High School .63 Orange county tax rates were set Tuesday afternoon by the board of supervisors, inside incorporated cities at 92 cents and outside incorporated areas $1.04 per $100 assessed valuation. These rates were indicated several weeks ago with the adoption of the county budget. A break-down of the inside rate of 92 cents shows the general fund getting .216; salary, .22; health, .036; hospital, .11; welfare, .20; interest and sinking funds, .12; and county park, .011. Road taxes on outside areas was set at 12 cents, making the outside rate a total of $1.04. While the board of supervisors actually does not set the tax rates for school districts, these rates are embodied in reports of the county budget and tax-fixing following a setting up of expenses by the various boards of trustees and the fixing of the rate to meet these estimates. Anaheim's school tax rate, as set up in the county document, is $1.76, with the elementary special requiring .45; building .11; high school buildings .95. Absent Voters Fail to Change County Results Collins Gains Over Davis In Final Count; Jeffrey Gets Call Over Huston Exactly one week after the August 28 primaries, the board of supervisors completed the official canvass of the election. Last to be counted were the absentee ballots, which failed to change the result of previous unofficial announcements of winners, although the result of a run-off candidate in the fifth supervisorial district apparently hinged upon the sealed envelopes. This was the race between Incumbent George Jeffrey and Costa Mesa's Dr. C. G. Houston for a place on the November ballot with Laguna Beach's Noel E. West, who garnered 1477 votes to lead the race. Jeffrey, previous to the absent ballot counting, had a two-vote lead over Dr. Houston, the count being 1361 to 1359. After the absent ballot counting, Jeffrey had picked up 13 votes and Dr. Huston nine, thus giving the runner-up a six-vote lead. In the second supervisorial district there was another fairly close race. Incumbent John Mitchell picked up 16 ballots bringing his total to 1909, and Huntington Beach's Elson Conrad gathered 10, making his total vote 1859. John Crill secured 12 absent voter approvals, bringing his total to 1401. In the fourth supervisorial district, Chairman Willard Smith of the board of supervisors secured 32 to his opponents 20 absentee votes, making him the victor over Clyde Watson by a count of 2215 to 1998. Absent voters also looked with more favor upon Congressman Sam Collins than upon his opponents. Collins won both the republican and democratic sides was set at 12 cents, making the outside rate a total of $1.04. While the board of supervisors actually does not set the tax rates for school districts, these rates are embodied in reports of the county budget and tax-fixing following a setting up of expenses by the various boards of trustees and the fixing of the rate to meet these estimates. Anaheim's school tax rate, as set up in the county document, is $1.76, with the elementary special requiring .45; building, .14; high school bonds, .25; high school special, .63; and junior college, .09. Buena Park elementary school requires a tax rate of $1.95; Centralia's rate is $1.13; Garden Grove's is $2.18; Cypress' is $1.07; Katella's is $1.39; Magnolia's is $1.60; Orangethorpe's is one of the lowest at .85; Placentia-Richfield's is $1.30; Fullerton's $1.80; Brea's $1.29; Laurel's $2.02; Loora's $1.37; Santa Ana's $2.44; and Orange's, $1.40. The three member cities of the metropolitan water district are each taxed 10 cents for this purpose. These cities are Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana. Anaheim's cemetery district's tax is set at .01. County library district taxes are set at .02, with Buena Park's coming to .15; Placentia's to .09 and Yorba Linda's to .14. Guy Tops List of Expenditures for Seeking Election After spending $750 in an attempt to win election to the district attorney's office, Brea's Elmer R. Guy found that his acquaintance in the county was not sufficient and he withdrew, attempting to throw his support to B. Z. McKinney. The sum Guy spent is the highest of the first reports filed with County Clerk J. M. Backs, as required by law Other candidates who had filed at this writing were County Surveyor W. K. Hilyard, $237.09; County Assessor James Sleeper, $199; Arthur Eells, candidate for sheriff, $360.33; J. W. Sauers, candidate for supervisor in the fifth district, $239.83; Justice of the Peace K. E. Morrison, Santa Ana, $10; Alsey I. Spense, justice of the peace at Fullerton, nothing; Coroner Earl Abbey, $260.10. Smoke-eaters Rush To Fire as Garden Hose Puts It Out Exchange Allots $400,000 for Purchase of Site, Erection of Own Home In L. A. Erection of a Sunkist building as a permanent home for the California Fruit Growers Exchange was announced Wednesday following actual closing of the transaction for the site at Fifth and Hope Streets, Los Angeles. The board of directors appropriated $400,000 for the land and building, and the total cost will be kept well within that amount, according to C. C. Teague, president of the Exchange. "Contrary to premature and erroneous reports which have gone the rounds, our new home will be only large enough to house the Sunkist organization, and our decision was based on the fact that we can now build and occupy our own home at less cost than rent," said Mr. Teague. "Actual construction will not start until next year, as the Exchange lease on present quarters does not expire until December, 1935. It seemed advisable, however, in view of the distress prices prevailing on real estate, to either build or secure quarters on a long time lease and careful investigation by a committee of our board of directors determined that construction was the more economical course to follow," the Exchange head said. The location, directly across Fifth Street from the Public Library, was purchased from the Temple Baptist Church. It was selected as an ideal location from the standpoint of accessibility to growers and employees and still out of the congested retail business district. Plans call for a six story building. The Fifth street floor will be a garage and the second floor will include an adequate assembly room for the weekly board meetings which are attended by many growers.
