City’s Tax Rate Fixed at 90 Cents As Set-up Alters Anaheim Boasts Lowest Rate For Comparable Service As Set-up Alters Anaheim's tax rate, recognized as one of the lowest if not the lowest in the state for comparable community services, remains the same for 1934-35 as it was for the last fiscal year. Tax rates were settled at Tuesday night's meeting of the city council when the city fathers approved the second reading of an ordinance setting the levy at 90 cents per $100 assessed valuation. This is the same rate as for the year previous. Only minor changes were made in the set-up for the rate. Because of lowered outstanding indebtedness, the rate of 56 cents plus for interest and redemption bonds is slightly less than two cents lower than last year. This saving was made up, however, in the general fund which advanced approximately the same amount from 18 to 20 cents, to cover extraordinary expenditures (Continued on page 6) Fullerton School Offers 40 Courses Expect Half Million Visitors to Pamona Saturday; Governor Combination of Education, Recreation and Unsurpassed In Southern California History; 30, Valued at 15 Million Dollars to Be Shown as Prize In the presence of Governor Frank F.

Terrill, supervisor of adult education at the Fullerton union high school, announced this week that beginning Monday evening at 7 o'clock the institution would offer 40 courses for persons seeking either two or four nights' schooling each week.

Governor Merriam Charges Legislators With Duty of Helping Jobless, Needy "Your duties," Governor Frank F. Merriam admonished legislators gathering at Sacramento Wednesday noon for a special session to consider emergency relief programs in conformity with request of the national relief administration. "will be directed wholly to the task of rendering aid to those who either are unable to find employment, and thus are prevented from supporting themselves and their dependents, or those who are excessively handicapped in their efforts to meet their financial obligations. Thus charged, the senate immediately gave unanimous approval to the $24,000,000 bond issue for unemployment relief, number one of eight proposals submitted by the governor for special consideration. The bond issue must be voted on in November, but supplies funds necessary for enjoyment of national relief aid. The seven other measures submitted to the legislature are: Resolution memorializing congress to provide federal pensions to the aged. Creation of a joint legislative committee to study plans for state unemployment insurance. Legislation easing penalties on delinquent taxes and providing installment payments on delinquencies. Extending for one year, subject to court approval, foreclosures on mortgages and trust deeds. Relief of property owners in special assessment districts. Validation of irrigation and reclamation bonds. Approval of legislation required by federal statute, preliminary to federal purchase of state-owned redwood forest areas. The special session was expected to end late Thursday evening or Friday. AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1934 CHILDREN GROOM FOR OPENING OF SCHOOL MONDAY Preparations Completed For Teaching Youngsters form Kindergarten to H. S. Hundreds of Anaheim children flocked to barber shops and accompanied their parents to various apparel and shoe stores this week to be "fitted out" for school, which opens at both the elementary and high schools Monday morning. Preparations were completed this week for welcoming all children from kindergarten through the Anaheim union high school. Youngsters who will be five before March 17, 1935, are eligible for kindergartens, to be held in George Washington, Lincoln, and Horace Mann grammar schools. These children must be enrolled during the first month. Children who will be six years old by March 17, 1935, are eligible for entry in the first grade, with school opening promptly at 9 o'clock Monday morning. All grades to the junior high school's seventh and eighth will convene at the same hour, while in the latter two instances classroom enrollment begins at 8:30 a.m. Construction and repair work at the "No, Mr. Sinclair, I will not vote for you." Says Ex- No, Mr. Sinclair, I will not vote for you. To begin with, you are not a real democrat, but are parading in borrowed plumes. There are other similes to fit the case, but it might hurt your feelings to see them in black and white. All your adult years, you have been a professed radical and socialist with communist leanings, although you now deny that fact. You failed of success faunting that banner, and a few months ago you suddenly donned new robes and declared your self a democrat, your conversion is too rapid and too opportune to be sincere. It evidently took place to gain sympathy, votes, and a political place in the sun. A leopard cannot change his spots my dear sir,' although he may bleach them as the ladies do their locks at times, but the roots are still dark, and that is one reason why I say: No, Mr. Sinclair, I will not vote for you. You do not ring true. 'Me thinks my lord, thou dost protest too much." You have, by an overwhelming flood of glib words and specious promises impossible of fulfillment, won a large following of supposedly sensible human beings. To me that is incomprehensible. The only explanations apropos such a state of affairs are: Your adherents are lacking in clarity of judgment and discrimination or are Visitors to Pack Opening 16-Day Run at Day; Governor to Attend Recreation and Entertainment California History; 30,000 Exhibits to Be Shown as Prizes $100,000 Bank F. Mefriam and distinguished state and with annual Los Angeles County Fair community fairs will be officially thrown open to morning, September 15. From that time until September 30, the huge agricultural and industrial exposition is expected to be the Mecca for more than half a million visitors. Characterized by additions, improvements and innovations which make it, in every sense of the word, a new and greater fair, the mighty panorama of achievement will afford a combination of education, recreation and entertainment unsurpassed in its history. Twelve months of preparation on an elaborate scale, the expenditures of more than a quarter million dollars, and the transformation of the grounds into a new show place for Southern California form the foundation for this year's show. In this preparation more than 2000 men have been given employment under the emergency relief program. Beauty in many phases from the face Mann grammar schools.

All grades to the junior high school's seventh and eighth will convene at the same hour, while in the latter two instances classroom enrollment begins at 8:30 a.m. Construction and repair work at the high school grounds were rushed this week to be in readiness to receive students in temporary structures, pending completion of the $275,000-one unit structure approved in May by local voters. Classes will resume at usual hours, with 42 instructors offering the same subjects as last year, under Principal J. A. Clayes, Miss Bella J. Walker is girls' vice principal. Several changes in classroom accommodations have been necessitated at the high school, but as soon as the students learn where their classes are to be held Principal Clayes expects no confusion. Temporary structures were used during the latter part of last year, with educational work progressing smoothly. A portion of the high school grounds will be blocked off to permit work to progress on the new structure, which, when completed, is expected to be one of the most impressive secondary educational buildings in Southern California. ST. CATHERINE'S RESUMES CLASSWORK ON TUESDAY Twenty more enrollees are expected to join the 130 who registered at the St. Catherine's Military academy on Tuesday to begin a new year's work under accredited instructors, according to information released Thursday. There were no special opening ceremonies, these being reserved until the full enrollment is reached within the next couple of weeks. Classes had settled down to routine by Thursday, it was reported. MARYWOOD CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL OPENS Enrollment on Wednesday, the first day in the history of the Marywood Central Catholic High School (located in the old St. Joseph's school buildings on West Broadway), proved satisfactory; and is expected to materially increase in the near future, according to Sister Regina Claire, Mother Superior. The initial classes were expected to be comparatively small, with seventh and eighth grade girls being taken in as boarders. The music and art department but the roots are still dark, and that is one reason why I say: No, Mr. Simclair, I will not vote for you. You do not ring true. "Me thinks my lord, thou dost protest too much." You have, by an overwhelming flood of glib words and specious promises impossible of fulfillment, won a large following of supposedly sensible human beings. To me that is incomprehensible. The only explanations apropos such a state of affairs are: Your adherents are lacking in clarity of judgment and discrimination, or are suffering from hysteria and mass hypnotism. The depression has produced great nervous tension, and a desperately worried people will grasp at straws and are apt to follow any Joshuaas who promises to lead them into a land, flowing with milk and honey. In this manner, you have ruined the solidarity of the democratic ranks. For the first time in the history of the state, we had a chance to sweep the ticket, but thanks to you, that hope is as dead as the loves of by-gone years, and the return to normalcy checked in its course. From now until after the November election, it will be a foolhardy act to undertake any serious new work, for your success would spell ruin to the state, so once more I say: No, Mr. Simclair, I will not vote for you. You have created friction and dissension in the party by your actions, and our united front is a thing of the past. Some of your supporters belong to that class of men and women who shift their allegiance as the wind blows; the political knowledge of others is nearly a Twenty-Thirtians To Hear Conclave Members of the Anaheim 20-30 club who are unable to attend the twelfth annual convention to be held from Wednesday through Saturday of this week at Bakersfield are expected to tune in on a coast-wide radio hook-up from 8:30 to 10 p.m. Saturday night to actually hear some of the important proceedings and a program to be given by Everett Hoagland's orchestra. Details of the convention were announced at the meeting Monday night in the Marigold cafe. President W. O. Harris of Kiwanis International will deliver the address. Thomas Kuchel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kuchel of 315 South Claudina street, a campaign orator for Senator Hiram Johnson, and a student at the University of Southern California law of education, recreation and entertainment unsurpassed in its history. Twelve months of preparation on an elaborate scale, the expenditures of more than a quarter million dollars, and the transformation of the grounds into a new show place for Southern California form the foundation for this year's show. In this preparation more than 2000 men have been given employment under the emergency relief program. Beauty in many phases from the gorgeous decorations of the agricultural hall to the millions of beautiful blossoms and the billows of color by night forms the keynote. Shaded picnic grounds, flower lined lagoons, more parking space, and a hundred other facilities have been added for the pleasure and comfort of the visitors. Again practically every state in the union is represented in the 30,000 exhibits valued at $15,000,000. Prize awards will total $100,000. Again in the agricultural section there will be a specimen of nearly every fruit and vegetable grown in the civilized world. Various counties and communities of the state will vie with one another in the magnificence of their feature entries. Some 7000 head of livestock, poultry, pigeons and rabbits will be entered in the livestock department. Responding to popular demand there will be a big dog show on the last three days. The last word in practical invention will be found in the industrial display. A hundred elementary, high and junior college schools of Los Angeles city and county will participate in the (Continued on page 6) Charge Sparrows Are "Firebugs" English sparrows are charged with being firebugs by insurance companies, following a fire in an abandoned theater in Rockford, Tenn., said to have been started by the birds carrying discarded burning cigarettes into their nests. Enrollment on Wednesday, the first day in the history of the Marywood Central Catholic High School (located in the old St. Joseph's school buildings on West Broadway), proved satisfactory; and is expected to materially increase in the near future, according to Sister Regina Claire, Mother Superior. The initial classes were expected to be comparatively small, with seventh and eighth grade girls being taken in as boarders. The music and art departments, according to announcements Thursday, are open to students not otherwise registered at the school. Ellsworth Fearn Wins Captiancy Friends of Ellsworth E. Fearn, who for several years has been a first lieutenant in the 59th signal battalion, U.S. army reserves, were pleased to learn this week of his promotion to captain. He was sworn into the captiancy early this month at headquarters in Redding, from where he has been in charge of motor transport service of the civilian conservation corps for more than a year. Previous to that he had been assigned for a short time to camp duty. Mr. and Mrs. Fearn operate the Fearn Radio-Electric shop on East Center street and are well known in this city. Mr. Fearn for several years served annually in signal instruction at army encampments at the Presidio, near San Francisco, and in camps at Monterey. REPORT ON LICENSES Business licenses in August totaled $355.40, reports to the council Tuesday stated. COLLECTS ONE DOG TAX A one-dollar dog tax collected by the city in August. Details of the convention were announced at the meeting Monday night in the Marigold cafe. President W. O. Harris of Kiwanis International will deliver the address. Thomas Kuchel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kuchel of 315 South Claudina street, a campaign orator for Senator Hiram Johnson, and a student at the University of Southern California law school, spoke on "Youth and Government." He strongly urged young people to verse themselves with candidates and political issues as a means of preparing themselves to take over the leadership of the nation which they will inherit in the years to come. Clifford Haskell and Joe Scholz, former members of the club, were guests. Haskell invited local twenty-Thirtians to attend the launching of a club Tuesday night at Corona. Cigars were passed by John Knutzen, in celebration of the birth of a son to Mrs. Knutzen. Three Santa Anans Fined for Trespass In Closed Forest Ralph Miller, R. L. Montgomery and Russell Steinmetz, city employees of Santa Ana, were fined $50 each for trespassing in "closed area" on the Cleveland National Forest land northwest of Corona on August 26. The trial was held Sept. 7 at Corona, with a jury bringing in a verdict of guilty. Deputy District Attorney George French represented the state and Charles Swanner of Santa Ana the defendants. Federal District Ranger Harvey M. French, A. M. Longacre and R. D. Edwin, of the Cleveland National Forest, were called as witnesses for the state, and F. L. Wardlow, J. L. McPride as defense witnesses for Santa Ana. The latter is city engineer of the county seat.

An overwhelming odds and specious of fulfillment, won supposedly sensible one that is inconexplanations of affairs are: lacking in clarity discrimination or are minus quantity and an impressive orator has no difficulty in winning their votes. They will believe anything if you say it often enough and loudly enough. Of course to the radical element, you are the long-looked for leader, but thank God, I am not one of them; also I am but one of many who will do their utmost to save our country from falling into the hands of a wild-eyed political fanatic, and admirer of Lenin, Stalin, Karl Mark and other gentry of that ilk. Furthermore, I feel I would be derect to my duty, if by one lota, I aided you to win the governor's chair. A demagogue in authority is a dangerous proposition, political dynamite speaking definitely. Power often goes to his head. His ego grows by what it feeds on, and a Hitler is not wanted in the United States of America. Also, I have a strong suspicion that your candidacy is the opening gun in a camouflaged campaign to effect cataclysmic changes in our government which would alter the face of our world, bringing a mighty nation down to ruin and decay. No, Mr. Sinclair, I will not vote for you. I have been a citizen of this country and a democrat for 30 years, and I love my adopted home too much to wish to see you at the helm of the "Ship of State," particularly in such "parous" ST. MICHAEL'S WILL DEDICATE ORGAN SUNDAY Memory of Donor, Marie Dwyer, To Be Honored at Special 10:30 A.M. Service The new electric-action organ installed Tuesday at the St. Michael's Episcopal church will be dedicated at 10:30 a.m. Sunday in memory of Mrs. Marie L. Dwyer who bequeathed $500 to the church. The Estey organ, according to the rector, Rev. D. Howard Dow, is worth several times the sum bequeathed the church, but through an exchange with a Long Beach church which still owed a portion on the instrument, it was obtained for the amount left this institution. "It is an admirable instrument, suited exactly to our needs," Rev. Dow says. "We are extremely grateful for the kind and unostentateous gift from a beloved member whom we all mourned following her death in an automobile accident." Mrs. Dwyer was killed in a mishap at Sycamore and Palm streets Wednesday noon, May 10, 1933. Her will named her husband J. J. Dwyer as administrator of her estate, and bequeathed sums to various civic and church enterprises. Mrs. Dwyer had been very active in obtaining a memorial fountain an overwhelming sense and specious of fulfillment, won supposedly sensible name that is incomonly explanations of affairs are; lacking in clarity discrimination, or archaia and mass hypoception has produced onion, and a desperate will grasp at to follow any tries to lead them into milk and honey. You have ruined the democratic ranks. For history of the state, sweep the ticket, that hope is as dead some years, and the checked in its until after the it will be a foollike any serious new would spell ruin more I say: No, not vote for you. Distinction and dissension your actions, and thing of the past, matters belong to that men who shift their blows; the politicians is nearly a United States of America. Also, I have a strong suspicion that your candidacy is the opening gun in a camouflaged campaign to effect cataclysmic changes in our government which would alter the face of our world, bringing a mighty nation down to ruin and decay. No, Mr. Sinclair, I will not vote for you. I have been a citizen of this country and a democrat for 30 years, and I love my adopted home too much to wish to see you at the helm of the "Ship of State," particularly in such "parlous times." We want no noble experiment by a fantastic visionary with California as the modeling clay. On these grounds, I and many others are turning to our "White Hope" Frank F. Merriam, the republican nominee, an official, tried, true and experienced; an honorable God-fearing gentlemen, fully alive to his responsibilities and who we feel convinced will do his duty without fear or favor, showing justice to all, working for the commonwealth; not only for the so-called privileged classes and his friends. He is a true American, and I think we may safely place our cause in his hands, for he will be governor of California, not of any special division, and thus will faithfully do his part towards restoring prosperity to our "Golden Land of Promise." So again I say: "No, Mr. Sinclair, I will not vote for you, as I prefer a sane, safe government by an honest man to that of a demagogue and a dreamer." Sincerely, L. K. SUTHERLAND. Pattersons Escape Serious Injuries Dr. C. O. Patterson and son Elton, upon returning Monday night from a trip to the Century of Progress at Chicago in a new automobile on which they accepted delivery in Detroit, this week told friends of their miraculous escape from serious injury when a tire blow-out caused the machine to turn over twice, right itself and face the opposite direction, in an accident just east of Yuma, Arizona, Saturday. The fan was pulled out of the raditor at Yuma, and the radiator repaired. Dr. Patterson and son drove on to Anaheim Sunday in the machine, which bore mute testimony to the dangerous mishap. "It if were not for the steel body of the automobile I am sure we would have been killed," Dr. Patterson said. "As it was we consider ourselves exceptionally lucky to escape with no serious injury and but few bruises." Delinquent Bills Materially Slashed Collections in the public service department in August amounted to $20,-168. First Barge Will Dump Magic Isle Rock at Newport Harbor Entrance on Saturday The first of over half a million tons of Santa Catalina rock will be dumped on Saturday morning next September 15, at the entrance to Newport harbor; one bargeload of equipment has already arrived on the location. This marks the actual start of the federal program to cost $1,835,000. The work includes dredging the entire bay area to a minimum depth of ten feet, anchorage areas and channels dredged to fifteen and 20 feet respectively. The jetties at the entrance will be extended out to 20 feet at low water. City Engineer R. L. Patterson states that the work will be doubly valuable coming at this time. Between seven and eight million cubic yards of material are to be dredged from the bay area, this will be deposited on the ocean front and a great portion will be used to reclaim the area washed out by the recent heavy swells and exceptional currents. Several theories are advanced for the unusual tides and cross currents setting in at several points along the Southern California coast at this time, and authorities differ as to the causes but all agree the deposit of the dredged material will be helpful in the area which suffered in the recent oceanic activities. Contract for the jetty rock was awarded by Major Henry M. Stickney, United States district engineer, to Rohl-Connoly company who also is building the Los Angeles breakwater. The Newport harbor program calls for 526,740 tons of rock to be brought from Santa Catalina island by barge. It will require 20 barges and seven tugs alone to keep the supply of rock moving to both San Pedro and Newport. Bids for the dredging job at Newport harbor, said to be the biggest contract ever to be awarded on the Pacific coast, will be opened and the contract awarded by Major Stickney within the next few days.
