She won this distinction in a run-off contest to settle a tie with Mrs. A. E. Christansen of Anaheim. The two women emerged victors among five contestants in the first contest. Judges Homer Ames, H. E. Wahlberg and W. M. Cory decided that Mrs. Heinemann’s vocal efforts were a greater lure as a husband-caller. Because of coludy-ridden skies, cool weather and fear of rain, attendance at the annual Farm Bureau picnic Saturday at Orange county park was lighter than was expected. President R. W. Blackburn of the California Farm Bureau Federation was principal speaker, stressing necessity of stabilizing farm marketing problems and claiming that the AAA was formulated by farmers.

The local men were scheduled to return just a week ago, but no word was received till Wednesday of their perdicament. They packed back 50 miles from Madeline and were successful in shooting four deer before the storm broke.

A. Stanton's home on Brookhurst avenue on October 6, contribute $5 a plate to raise funds for campaign funds, and hear most of prominent republican candidates, tentatively including Frank F. Merriam.

Edwards, and Assemblymen Edward (Ted) Craig and James Utt, and Congressman Sam L. Collins have accepted. Present plans call for the rally to open at 1 o'clock with a barbecue dinner.

AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1934 DIRECTOR URGES LOCAL CITIZENS REMODEL HOMES Outlines Purposes of National Housing Plan, Suggests Ways To Use Loans Property-owners of Anaheim were encouraged by Regional Director F. W. Marlowe of the division of better housing of the national emergency council, speaking at the Merchants and Manufacturers' association 'meeting Wednesday noon at the Marigold cafe, to secure loans with which to make permanent improvements on their homes. Red tape has been cut to the minimum, and the money is ready within 10 minutes after the loan has been approved, he pointed out, stating that the first housing loan in Los Angeles was made just 24 hours after he had returned from Washington with information about procedure. The loans are made only for permanent improvements, such as adding new rooms, reroofing lanscaping, adding a driveway, or installations of such accessories as awnings, wiring in iceboxes, adding furnaces, cabinets and numerous other improvements. Average interest rate on loans runs from five to nine per cent, and loans may be secured up to one-fifth of the annual income of the individual. These No Big Stick Wielded As Legislators P As the California state capital returned to routine in the wake of the swift moving special session of the legislature, veteran legislators appraised the accomplishments and declared that "something new in leadership had been shown by Governor Frank F. Merriam" in the first legislative meet of his administration. "Leadership without the big stick," "the leadership of service," "no grandstanding or credit grabbing," "leadership of fellowship," "something new in governors," "no demagogery," "humanitarianism without speeches," and such comments flowed from the senators and assemblymen who have served with many governors and who were frank in their admiration for their former speaker of the assembly and presiding officer of the senate. Governor Merriam presented his bills direct to the senate and assembly. Every matter he presented was adopted unanimously. Only one contest developed—that of the Sinclair adherents who endeavored to amend the relief bond issue to include authority for the extension of eminent domain so that private property could be seized for 'impractical schemes'. The Sinclair followers mustered only 10 votes and were overwhelmingly defeated. Hamilton Cotton In to Desert U. Sinclair Regime Responsible for "This Lauds Cotton for Stand of 'True McAdoo's' Hopping on Wagon" councilman and life-long democrat who rly election, this week Joined Orange ng the socialistic imposter who usurped wing written statement was handed the tuesday: Rolph regime gave to this state is the cause of most of this distrust and discontent, and on the shoulders of this Rolph machine should rest the blame for the present swing to the radical. "But the disgusting thing now is the spectacle of our would-be democratic leaders, notably Senator MacAdoo, hopping on the socialist band wagon under the guise of 'preserving the democratic party.'" "The clear-cut statement of repudiation by Hamilton H. Cotton and a few others is a relief and gives promise of some real leadership and hope for the democrats of this state." After the adoption of the democratic platform at Sacramento last week, Cotton termed it nothing but "a revised edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "the surrender of the ideals of the party has left all true democrats astounded." He continued: "A man has been nominated not by democrats but by between 200,000 and 300,000 malcontents who were induced to register to overthrow a party. Primary Blamed Greet New Arrival In J. Poyet Home Friends and relatives this week showered gifts upon Rosemary Ann, new arrival in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Poyet of 711-D North Lemon street, following her birth at the St. Joseph's hospital, Orange, on Saturday morning. The petite little lady took frequent naps and let her mother write all the "thank you" notes. Both mother and daughter are reported "doing well" and look forward to returning home next week. Father Poyet reports the six pound, five-ounce lady is a vocalist of promising ability, and a "pretty sweet baby." Four Anaheimers Honored by Scouts Governor Merriam presented his bills direct to the senate and assembly. Every matter he presented was adopted unanimously. Only one contest developed—that of the Sinclair adherents who endeavored to amend the relief bond issue to include authority for the extension of eminent domain so that private property could be seized for 'impractical schemes'. The Sinclair followers mustered only 10 votes and were overwhelmingly defeated. Contrary to the tendency of minimizing the importance of the legislatures which governors have exhibited since Sacramento was made the state capital. Governor Merriam dealt out credit generously, and at the close, said to the senate and assembly in his closing message: "By your tireless and devoted attention to the basic needs of those in distress, you have rendered a service to your state which will be measured in terms of greater security and comfort for thousands of men, women and children." And the legislators were equally generous in their praise of their governor. There is no hunger in California and there never will be if we always have governors as strong and capable as Y. M. To Launch Drive October 9 Dr. H. A. Johnson will chairman the Y. M. C. A. annual campaign for funds to be held here from October 9 to 14, according to announcements this week following action taken by the board of directors. Rev. Virgil K.

He will be aided by Robert Easton and W. C. Mauerhan. Arthur G. Porter announced the goal of the drive, and the budget of the Y. M. C. A. to be $4,965 for the next year. Secretary Conrad Jongewaard reported 500 young people attending the Seven Oaks camp during the last summer, with Anaheim leading other Orange county cities with 160 enrollees. Monahan Quits Anahim Citrus After the adoption of the democratic platform at Sacramento last week, Cotton termed it nothing but "a revised edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "the surrender of the ideals of the party has left all true democratic astounded." He continued: "A man has been nominated not by democrats but by between 200,000 and 300,000 malcontents who were induced to register to overthrow a party. Primary Blamed "This was made possible by our foolish primary system, putting the democratic party definitely in the hands of dreamers and fanatics, who hope to end poverty in California by completely impoverishing the 75 per cent of the people not on relief rolls." "When the men of the party who were elected and appointed by the true democracy agree to turn over the party to a socialistic regime, it is time for all true followers to assert their rights and defeat the interlopers." "If Mr. Sinclair adheres strictly to the platform, his followers have been deluded and sold out, and if he elects to stand on his original promises and platform on which he was nominated, the democratic party must refuse to support him as a democrat." "I refuse to take part in the devastation of California and the ruin of the Democratic party locally and nationally." Vat Fire Put Out Quickly Saturday Two minutes after a fire alarm had been signaled to the fire department, employees of Universal Distilleries Saturday morning had the flames under control. The fire department equipment arrived just as a second call was placed to inform the smoke-eaters that the conflagration was out. Flames jumped up from a vat of liquid. While one employee telephoned, others placed blankets over the blaze. One man received slight injuries, having his hair and eyebrows burned. Four Anaheimers Honored by Scouts Four Anaheimers were honored at the Orange County Boy Scout court of awards held Saturday evening in the Santa Ana municipal bowl. Scoutmaster Carl Schweiss, Howard Lukens and Martin Douglas received Eagle Scout awards and Phillip Hammond received the five-year veteran award. California Gas Tax Continues Decrease Reaching a total of $3,379,024.04, California gasoline taxes for August continue to show a decline in comparison with the corresponding month of last year. Some improvement is seen, however, in the ratio of decrease, which is only half as great as that of the month previous. First Fall Weather Witnessed This Week Anaheimers woke up Wednesday morning to find their thermometers registering 56 degrees, a mark decidedly frosty in comparison to the heat wave last week when the mercury climbed to 105 on Monday and hovered around 80 degrees at 6 o'clock in the morning. First indications of fall weather were ushered in Sunday by a light shower, with the rain guages showing .2 of an inch fall, bringing the season's total to .35 of an inch. In comparison to nothing at this time a year ago. Monahan Quits Anaheim Citrus President D. D. Waynick of the board of directors of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association Thursday announced that the board had accepted with regret the resignation of Carl E. Monhan as manager, effective September 25. Just as soon as the board is satisfied that the proper man for the position of manager is available, that position will be filled," Mr. Waynick said in a formal statement. "In the meantime, all association business will be done directly through the board of directors. A representative of the board will be at the packinghouse to discuss with growers any problems which they wish to consider." 80 Cars Valencias Shipped This Year Four member houses of the Central Orange County Citrus Exchange shipped 80 cars of valencias this week, 78 to domestic and two to foreign markets, under prorata allotments announced Monday.

ICK Wielded By Merriam Legislators Praise Leadership COUNTY LEADERS TO STUDY STATE TAXING PROBLEM William C. Jerome to Call Special Meeting of Economic Council Proposed tax revisions of the state of California will be scrutinized by Orange county legislators, civic leaders and members of the board of supervisors at a special meeting to be called soon by Chairman William C. Jerome of the county section, Economic Council of Southern California. This move was revealed following a meeting Monday night when State Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange, Assemblyman Edward (Ted) Craig of Brea, Assemblyman James Utt of Tustin, Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce Secretary Raymer, Anahein's Lotus Loudon, Tustin's Ross Shafer and Supervisor Jerome took up the tax problems of the county and how they might be affected by proposed broadening of the tax base for the state. "This county's position is much better than most of the counties in the state," Jerome says. "We can pay as liberally as any other county, possibly with less effort than most, but we aim to keep the county in this favorable position. Of course, no plans were GOV. FRANK MERRIAM Frank Merriam," said Senator Walter Duval of Ventura county. Said Assemblyman Frank Wright of Whittler, Los Angeles county: "Governor Merriam showed us something new in gubernatorial leadership. He will always have the legislators with him." "Practical politicians always associate 'humanitarian' leaders with long dull speeches full of impossible promises, but in Governor Merriam, we have at last found a humanitarian who can put under way measures for the relief of the needy and unemployed without dozens of speeches on the subject," asserted Senator William P. Rich, progressive representative of Marysville. "As far as I know, Governor Merriam hasn't published a single pamphlet, nor written a single novel nor coined a single slogan, the letters of which form an anagram, on his $24,000,000 relief bond issue, but we adopted it unanimously." "Governor Merriam gave us leadership without grandstanding, and that's something new in politics," declared Senator Bradford Crittenden astute veteran of many sessions, of San Joaquin county. Mann, Sheridan Lead Discussions Anaheim's city officials played an important part in the annual convention of the League of Municipalities at Pasadena this week. Beginning Monday, Mayor Charles H. Mann, City Attorney George Holden, City Engineer E. P. Hapgood, City Building Inspector R. Nyboe, City Clerk Charles E. Griffith, City Assessor Harry Jayne and Civic Leaders O. E. Steward and Harry C. Arthur sr. attended the session. On Tuesday Mayer Mann led the discussion at one of the sessions, following a speech by Harold Pomeroy. On the same day City Councilman Leo J. Sheridan, whose outstanding work on the tax and budget committee of Anaheim has brought this city to the forefront of California communities in economical government and sound finances, explained to the league the successful working of this city's power and light system, citing not Secretary Raymer, Anaheim's Lotus Loudon, Tustin's Ross Shafer and Supervisor Jerome took up the tax problems of the county and how they might be affected by proposed broadening of the tax base for the state. "This county's position is much better than most of the counties in the state." Jerome says. "We can pay as liberally as any other county, possibly with less effort than most, but we aim to keep the county in this favorable position. Of course, no plans were formulated as yet, but we expect to go over all proposed tax measures with a fine toothed comb and study their application to this county. Our legislators have the clear-cut duty of fighting to maintain our advantage, and we propose to go over the situation to make recommendations." There is considerable apprehension in certain quarters about transferring the operative properties back to the county tax rolls. On my recent trip to Sacramento I went into this problem thoroughly, and found that the state will tax this operative property till the last day of February, 1935, and beginning on March 1 the counties will take over the operative properties for tax purposes. This is being done under the Raley-Stewart tax plan adopted by the voters at the special election in 1933. It completely changes the set-up of state taxation, which gets its first severe test at the coming session of the legislature when ways and means of meeting the $130,000,000 deficit must be found, and revenues secured to meet the biannual budget, which runs 100 millions more than revenue obtained by the sales tax." Jerome said that the concensus of opinion of those attending the informal meeting Monday night was that the state will have to broaden its tax base. This is the problem upon which the Economic Council will make recommendations. Predicts 50 Per Cent Increase In State Population Supervisor William C. Jerome outlined Orange county affairs, painting a picture showing this commonwealth to be in much better condition than most counties within the state, at the meeting of the Lions club Friday noon. Herb Eldred was program chairman. Jerome pointed out that the county's taxes have been lowered and probably will be leavened again this year that On Tuesday Mayer Mann led the discussion at one of the sessions, following a speech by Harold Pomeroy. On the same day City Councilman Leo J. Sheridan, whose outstanding work on the tax and budget committee of Anaheim has brought this city to the forefront of California communities in economical government and sound finances, explained to the league the successful working of this city's power and light system, citing net earnings of $109,000 in 1933-34. In addition to Mayor Mann, Sheridan, Steward, Hapgood, and Holden Tuesday saw Auditor Beatrice Miller, Recorder Frank Tausch, and the entire planning commission, Dr. Walter Bigham, M. A. Gauer, Rudolph Boysen, W. D. Grafton and Oscar Heying, in attendance. Half Million to See Colorful Exhibits At Tri-County Fair by Saturday Night Characterized as the most successful of all, the thirteenth annual Los Angeles county fair combined with Riverside and Orange county fairs, enters the home stretch with an enviable record for attendance, and number, variety and quality of exhibits. The colorful programs for the closing days are expected to carry the attendance goal set by officials. There are many features which have made the exposition outstanding this year. Primarily the fair is staged as an educational exposition. That it has succeeded in this is evident from the great number of educational displays and the participation of so large a number of Future Farmers, members of 4-H clubs, Boy Scouts and other organizations of young people. The Junior fair with its 2000 or more entries is an outstanding feature of the exposition. Prominent officials, civic leaders and agricultural experts from this and other counties have made it a point to visit the fair and have been loud in their praise of its beauty, its inspirational value, its comprehensiveness and its scope. Perhaps no one feature has caused greater comment this year than the beauty of the grounds. By the use of emergency relief labor the 175 acres were transformed into a magnificent exposition park which bids fair to rank among the show places of Southern California. The fair will come to a close at midnight, Sunday, Sept. 30. The Friday preceding has been designated as Los Angeles county school day. Friday will also be Los Angeles County Farm Bureau day with special events in that department. Saturday, September 29th, has been designated as Riverside County day for the residents of Riverside, Banning, Arlington, San Jacinto, Hemet, Elsinore, Mira Loma, Norco and Corona.
