Crushing Defeat of Sinclair at Tuesday Election Proves Eye-opener to Outsiders "If you think Sinclair's disillusioned followers inf California are feeling rather low as a result of their candidate's crushing defeat at the polls Tuesday, just imagine what an eye-opener the native good sense of Golden Staters proved to hundreds of thousands of people in other states of the union," Councilman Leo J. Sheridan said in commenting upon the Sinclair issue as he observed it in the Mid-West since the middle of October. "Every place I visited there was a general impression that Sinclair was almost as good as elected. In some quarters there were persons credulous enough to believe that every needy person in California was already getting $200 a month pension. This is just an example of the nonsense peddled about the Sinclair Epic plan, and one of the big reasons why literally tens of thousands of people already were on their way or planned to be soon for California, their land of pensions and promises. The California election was on everybody's lips, and Tuesday this state certainly was in the spotlight of national attention." The councilman and Mrs. Sheridan and their son returned late last week after a three-week visit with relatives and friends in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. They drove back in a new car on which they accepted delivery at Detroit. Rotary 29 years ago was introduced by R. Orange, while Dr. W. Anaheim presided.

I am concerned with the tremendous problems which the people of California expect me to solve." Observers Cross Fingers On “Free Hand” Statement Engineer G. A. Elliott Named To Study County’s Water Problems Again Impartial observers of the Orange county water situation this week crossed their fingers when Chairman Willard Smith announced for the board of supervisors that Engineer G. A: Elliott would be given a "free hand" in trying to solve involved water problems along the Santa Ana river. The main problem with solving the water problems, these observers point out, is political, and not engineering. Last spring potent political organizations were organized and tried to foist the Elliott plan, drawn in 1931, upon Orange county as a means of getting immediate help from Uncle Sam in building a dam that would store water in another county, obviously tending to fill the underground basin in that other county. Strong political pressure was brought to bear upon the board of supervisors and upon other 15-Year-Old Boy’s Adventure Ends In Death at La Mesa Military Rites Accorded Paul Kester at Graveside On Wednesday Paul Kester, 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kester of 323 Kroeger street, started out on a great adventure Saturday. To the sorrow of his relatives and friends, it ended in a greater adventure than the youth had planned. With four other lads he was on route to Mexico where the father of one of the boys worked on a ranch. The group stopped over for the night at La Mesa, near Oceanside. They made beds alongside a warehouse. Young Kester, apparently to keep warm, made his bed near the place where a gasoline engine was running. He was found dead the next morning, the victim of monoxide gas. The body was returned to Anaheim, where funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Backs, Terry and Campbell chapel, with Rev. Ray O. Harker officiating. Pall bearers were members of the local unit of the Cali- Rotary 29 years ago at Chicago. He was introduced by R. H. Robinson of Orange, while Dr. Walter Bigham of Anaheim presided. The Anaheim club is the 81st Rotary governor has visited out of the 101 clubs in his district. Kiwanis Groups Hear Talks on Television When groups of five Kiwanians visit another group of five club members during the week their conversation turns largely to the wonders of television explained by LeRoy J. Leishman at the meeting Tuesday noon. Program Chairman Homer Nelson introduced the speaker, who claims to be the first to transmit pictures over the Atlantic, and the first to transmit them electrically. He pointed out that the East is far ahead of the West in television reception, with a total of 32 television broadcasting stations. These receptions, however, are usually made in one combination set. The groups of five idea is being fostered by the Kiwanis to further fellowship among members. Msgr. O'Sullivan Honored Thursday Orange county residents this week were interested in the memorial service tendered to the memory of Msgr. St. John O'Sullivan, who devoted 20 years of his life to restoration of the San Juan Capistrano mission, in the old stone church at 11 o'clock Thursday morning. Priests of the diocesan choir sang mass, with Bishop Cantwell, who returned recently from Rome, preaching the memorial sermon. A procession formed at the stone church and proceeded to the Indian burial ground, where the successor to the honored priest, Father Arthur J. Hutchison, officiated at dedication of the tomb.

NESS TAKES SPURT AS WINS BY 300,000 MAJORITY ANAHEIM GIVES KAUFMAN, CRAIG, JACKSON AND WHITNEY BIG VOTE AT GENERAL ELECTIONS TUSEDAY Captain Alexander Henry's Three-inch Cannon Fires Good News at Midnight Tuesday, First Time It Has Boomed Message Since Local Recall; Dispute Settled by City Attorney California business, which wallowed in the depths of uncertainty since Upton Sinclair's nomination on the democratic ticket at the August primaries, took a decided turn for the better when more than 1,000,000 people cast their votes for Frank F. Merriam at the final election last Tuesday, electing the acting governor by a majority approximating 300,000. The victorious republican nominee's running mate, George J. Hatfield, also marched into office as lieutenant-governor with a clear majority of better than 150,000 votes. The day after election, when business knew that no radical experiments would be thrust upon the shoulders of Californians, several important business deals were reported completed in Orange county, and several more negotiations were resumed after they had been halted by political developments. LANGENBERGERS EARLY PIONEERS ARE REMEMBERED Memorial Collection of Indian Relics Given to Southwest Museum Recently LANGENBERGERS EARLY PIONEERS ARE REMEMBERED Memorial Collection of Indian Relics Given to Southwest Museum Recently Residents of the Mother Colony were interested this week in the memorial collection of 250 Indian relics given to the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Langenberger, pioneer settlers of this community, and Frank Edward Alken. The collection was given in September by Mrs. Mabel Alken, formerly Miss Mabel Langenberger, twin of Gustave Langenberger, who now lives in Los Angeles. It consists of 250 objects illustrative of various phases of American Indian culture, according to word received here. Mrs. Alken has a step-sister, Mrs. Clementine Turck, living in Los Angeles. Herman Dickel, local pioneer who died several months ago, married another step-sister, and a third was Mrs. Francis Bullard. Both, however, have been dead for several years. At the time a group of original colonists gathered in San Francisco and sent Engineer Hanson to Southern California to look for a site for vineyards, Mr. Langenberger was operating a mercantile and grocery establishment at a place about three miles east of Anaheim. After the colony became established here at the crossroads of the road running from the ocean to San Bernardino, and the road between Los Angeles and San Diego, Langenberger bought a town lot in Anaheim and later built a store at the southwest corner of Lemon and Center streets. This store became famous throughout Southern California. At one time Langenberger operated freight teams to Anaheim Landing, and from a tower on top of his store he would look through a telescope to learn if a boat was anchored off the beach. Later, Langenberger married Mrs. Theodore Schmidt, divorced wife of one of the original settlers. It was from the heirs of Mrs. Schmidt that Anaheim purchased land for its 20-acre city park. Local pioneers, who knew the Langenbergers and Schmidts, recall no collection of Indian relics made by the family in Anaheim. The collection is chiefly interesting to Anahelmers, it is believed because its donor was born in Anaheim Manufacturers and Printers Produced $997,703 During 1933 Production of Anaheim manufacturing and printing and publishing plants for the year 1933 had a total valuation of $997,703 according to preliminary figures announced by the bureau of census, U. S. department of commerce, early this week. "This total was reported by 17 establishments, and the number of wage earners by these establishments in 1933 was 116," Director William L. Austin said. "Wages paid during the year amounted to $121,844, and materials, fuel and electric energy cost $653,202." Data was obtained in the biennial census of manufacturers taken in 1934. It was compared with similar data obtained for 1931, when number of establishments were given at 21, or four more than last year; when wage earners not including salaried officers and employees but including part-time and full-time wage-earners, numbered 129, or 13 more than last year. Wages for 1931 were $195,786 and for 1933 were $121,-844, while cost of materials for the three years ago amounted to $935,164 and for last year $653,202; value of products in 1931 was $1,588,813 and for 1933 $997,703; and added value by manufacture was $653,609 for 1931 and $344,501 in 1933. In figuring value of products the census collected no data on such items as interest, rent, depreciation, taxes, insurance and advertising, and hence the preliminary totals do not give an indication of manufacturers' loss or profit. In arriving at the value added by manufacture the bureau took the total value and subtracted such items as cost of materials, fuel and purchased electric energy.
