THE GAZETTE Is Now In Its 65th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXV OVERHAULING OF BOULEVARD STOP LAWS IN OFFING Supervisors Order Survey of County Roads Made to End Numerous Changes Complete overhauling of the ordinance regulating boulevard stops in Orange county looms as a result of the survey ordered Tuesday by the board of supervisors. When President Erick Winger of the Magnolia elementary school board of trustees wrote the board of supervisors asking for a stop sign for the intersection of Orange avenue at Magnolia road he furnished the impetus which started a tremendous ball rolling. He cited approval of the proposal by California Highway Patrol Officer George Peterkin, assigned to promote safety of school children in this county. The supervisors discussed the advisability of constant changes in the boulevard stop ordinance, coming to the conclusion that the present method of frequent changes causes an undue expense and interminable length. They therefore called upon the highway patrol, the Auto Club of Southern California, and Superintendent Natt Neff of the county highway department to make a complete study of the stop sign situation throughout the county with Whole Humming Bird Family in Te NEW YORK . . .

State Farm Bureau Plumbs For Water Conservation Here Passes Resolution Urging the No Decision By Snodg Askig Constable Ed Ma The supervisors discussed the advisability of constant changes in the boulevard stop ordinance, coming to the conclusion that the present method of frequent changes causes an undue expense and interminable length. They therefore called upon the highway patrol, the Auto Club of Southern California, and Superintendent Natt Neff of the county highway department to make a complete study of the stop sign situation throughout the county, with the possibility in view of eliminating some and thus decreasing the total, while at the same time meeting requirement of traffic and safety. Members of the board expressed opinions that many boulevard stops are not necessary; that too many at little-used intersections promote a tendency to disregard the law. One member said that boulevard stops should be placed only at boulevards; others looked upon the SERA project of assigning officers to various street crossings to protect pedestrians and school children as a means of eliminating red tape and red stop signs. After the survey is completed the board indicated that it would give the matter a thorough-going study with the view of producing an ordinance which would meet requirements of safety and trafice, and not need constant alterations. Prominent Farmers Named on Committee Five Anaheimers were named among the score of more Orange county residents to promote attendance and interest in the 67th California fruit growers and farmers convention to be held at Riverside, December 18, 19, and 20, according to announcements by Chairman Edward Hagen of Riverside. Among the local men to attend, and named on the committee, are: J. J. Dwyer, Jack Crill, Charles Heinrich, Robert H. Easton, and David Giddings. Others well known here who also have been named on the committee include: County Agricultural Commissioner D. W. Tubbs, Holmes Bishop of Orange, Felton Browning of Tustin, George Kellogg of Yorba Linda, A. S. Bradford of Placentia, James Tuffee of Placentia, Edward P. Backs of Placentia, D. J. Bastanchury of La Habra, Walter Muchenthaler of Fullerton, and C. Stanley Chapman of Fullerton. State Farm Bureau Plumbs For Water Conservation Here Passes Resolution Urging the American F. B. Federation To Seek U. S. Aid Another string in the long list of political wires was pulled last week by the Orange County Farm Bureau when it obtained the backing of the California Farm Bureau Federation in a resolution to be presented to the American Farm Bureau Federation in an effort to secure federal aid for water conservation and flood control of Orange county's various streams. Secretary Roland D. Flaherty of the Orange County Farm Bureau last Friday announced that the California Farm Bureau conference had passed the resolution, following the convention held at Bakersfield. He also announced that President E. A. O'Neal of the American Farm Bureau federation had pleased support to the resolution. Placentia's Ralph McFadden, state delegate from Orange county, was influential in securing passage, according to Flaherty, of the following resolution: "Whereas the control and conservation of flood waters in Orange county is essential to the preservation of this area and to the prevention of loss of life and, Whereas detailed engineering studies have been made of the streams in said county, which studies have been submitted to the federal government, and the project is now being considered as a federal public work project, Now, therefore be it resolved that we lend our support and request the American Farm Bureau federation to lend its support in securing federal approval for the proposed project." Loiterer Gone When Police Make Search Police officers responded to a call that a man was seen loitering behind a tree near 525 West Broadway Tuesday night, but found no suspicious person.

The mine's history has been like most ore-producing tunnels, up and down. Just now it promises to be up, when Mine Superintendent O. H. Pember puts 60 men to work within the next two or three weeks under a plan to move 20 tons of ore daily from the 16 claims. The mine now has six levels with a seventh started. These levels vary from 100 to 700 feet deep. Three will be opened at first, more later. Leasee is Hughes-Mitchell Processes company of Denver, from the Blue Light stockholders, among the major being: C. Stanley Chapman, Congressman Sam L. Collins, John Collins, C. M. Hollingshead, J. J. Dwyer, William Wagner and E. A. Wilmsen, who about 1921 took over the property from a Long Beach man by the name of Knowles. The local men developed the mine considerably, working it to a maximum capacity for some time, but found zinc mining was where the profit lay, and not in gold and silver. About five years ago they ceased working it extensively. Knowles had varying success in operating it after he had pur-chased it from the widow of John Dunlap, who with a man by the name of McCarthy, bought the mine in 1885. The partners took out about $40,000 worth of ore, some of it averaging $175 a ton in gold and $100 in silver. The Blue Light company was started by Knowles about 1900, upon his acquisition of the major stock. Five or six years before the partners bought the French concern, which took out $400,000 mine it was successfully operated by a worth of ore, but quilt when it started a huge enlargement project only to find the rich ore vein suddenly stopped, evidently shifted by some major earthquake in the distant past. Not knowing where to pick up the vein again, the company stopped. Dunlap and McCarthy prospectors, evidently found the vein again. The Hughes-Mitchell company is reported to have an expensive smelter at Torrance where the ore will be shipped. If this proves true, and the quality of ore holds up, Old Timers here-abouts look forward to seeing another mining camp spring up in Silverado canyon, similar to the one which existed many years ago, but of which hardly a trace remains. It is reliably reported that lease money paid the stockholder will be applied on the purchase price, if and when the Denver concern buys the property. 67 Orange County Youths See Home Even The 67 Orange county in the CCC send an email to their families each to SERA Registrar California has a to mail in the corps sending tween $22 and $25 per dependents, making a of $120,025.50.

W. No Decision Made By Snodgrass For Asking a Recount Constable Ed Marion Winner by SUPERVISORS HIT AT SALE OF HARD DRINK AT DANCES Study of New Law Ordered As Preliminary to Changes In County Ordinances Dance halls in Orange county will not be eligible to sell hard liquor if the board of supervisors can help it. Tuesday afternoon members of the board instructed Assistant District Attorney W. F. Menton to prepare an analysis of amendment No. 2, recently adopted by Californians, for the purpose of finding out what changes it will necessitate in present county regulations to keep hard liquor out of dance halls. Differences between dance halls and regular cafes and restaurants selling hard liquor to their patrons was pointed out informally. Where regular meals are served, it appears the board of supervisors will have no particular jurisdiction, even though dancing is permitted. However, members of the board expressed the opinion that setting up a hot-dog or sandwich stand in a dance hall does not constitute a regular place of eating, and therefore does not entitle such dance hall to serve hard liquor. Largest Box of Apples SEATTLE ... The largest box of apples to Detroit. It contains 75,650 winesap Yakima, Wash. The box was loaded on a bidder, a Detroit buyer. League of Municipalities No Decision Made By Snodgrass For Asking a Recount Constable Ed Marion Winner by Two Votes As Error Found In Counting Sam Snodgrass, defeated by two votes for constable of Anaheim township, had not decided by press time Thursday whether or not he would ask a court recount in an effort to unseat Constable Ed Marion. Unofficial tabulations gave Snodgrass a lead of 48 votes, not counting absentee ballots, and with those counted the fruit patrol officer apparently still had a lead of about a dozen tallies. Constable Ed Marion admitted his defeat and even went so far as to place an advertisement in the Anaheim Gazette thanking his friends for their support, even though he had lost the election. The board of supervisors, however, carefully checked the balloting and discovered that in precinct No. 22 in Anaheim an error had creeped in which materially changed the aspect. It had been recorded as 103 votes for Snodgrass and 22 for Marion, whereas the correct count was 103 for Snodgrass and $2 for Marion, an error of 50 votes which changed the result of the election. Another error was made when a precinct had been written in the Anaheim column of tabulations, giving 94 votes to Marion and 60 to Snodgrass. These were thrown out. Actual and correct count, the supervisors found, was Marion 3,774 and Snodgrass 3,772 votes. Ballots at the election were Marion 3,703 and Snodgrass 3,725; with absentee ballots counted in, the result changed, Marion getting 71 and Snodgrass 47. 67 Orange County Youths Send $1,664 Home Every Month The 67 Orange county youths enrolled in the CCC send an estimated $1,664.95 to their families each month, according to SERA Registrar Dayton E. Jones. California has a total of 4,830 youths in the corps sending an average between $22 and $25 per month to their hard liquor to their patrons was pointed out informally. Where regular meals are served, it appears the board of supervisors will have no particular jurisdiction, even though dancing is permitted. However, members of the board expressed the opinion that setting up a hot-dog or sandwich stand in a dance hall does not constitute a regular place of eating, and therefore does not entitle such dance hall to serve hard liquor. Chilly Nights In Wake of Rainfall Anaheimers may not have felt like it, but they were two degrees warmer Wednesday night than they were Thursday night, when the Association Laboratory thermometers dropped to 42. Old Sol came out Wednesday and smiled at storekeepers who skipped to the edge of the sidewalk to sun their backs. The mercury climbed to 73½ for the maximum that day, and came out Thursday with every indication of atoning to some extent for the low of 44 degrees recorded during the night. The "shiver my timbers" weather followed a week-end storm which netted 2.45 inches of rain, according to Anaheim Union Water company gauges. Last Friday the gauge measured 1.24 inches for the 24-hour period, and on Sunday morning another .61 of an inch was recorded. Monday morning another .60 of an inch brought the storm total to 2.45 inches. Add this to the previous measurements this year of 5.62, and the total rainfall for this season to date is 8.07 inches as compared with .29 of an inch at this time last year, and 9.15 inches for last season. Chance Remark Is Boon to Brastad Chance remark of Dr. John P. Brastad that he had 5,000 out-door orchids to a representative of Western Florist magazine Tuesday brought the owner of one of the largest nurseries in Southern California to Anaheim inquiring if it were true. The nursery representative was back Wednesday with a crew of men to prepare some of the orchids for sale, following purchase of the plants from the control of country roads out of the hands of the county boards of supervisors and turning them over to the state. The two plans will give the cities approximately the same amount of revenue from the three-cent gasoline tax. Major difference, of course, lies in who will spend the lion's share of the income. Mayor Mann returned Monday from the first executive board meeting of the California League of Municipalities held in the north over the week-end where official plans were laid for presenting the three main objectives of the league before the legislature. These objectives are: 1st, securing an increase from one-fourth to one-half cent in gasoline tax appropriations and get the state to take over maintenance of state highways through cities; 2nd, revision of certain liability laws which encourage legal raids upon the taxpayers' money; and 3rd, clarification of liquor control and laws to give the cities police action, increase city revenue and a check to see that the cities get their porportion of income from the state. Simultaneously, the Auto Club circularized Orange county with its program of meeting the demands of the League of Municipalities, yet maintaining what the club thinks should be the proper set-up, especially that part which would preserve the state highway's proportion of the gasoline tax. The League of Municipalities doesn't specify where it shall get its money, so long as it gets the gas tax money which amounts to a virtual three-fourths of a cent out of the three-cent tax. The league seeks what it believes is 67 Orange County Youths Send $1,664 Home Every Month The 67 Orange county youths enrolled in the CCC send an estimated $1,664.95 to their families each month, according to SERA Registrar Dayton E. Jones. California has a total of 4,830 youths in the corps sending an average between $22 and $25 per month to their dependents, making a total monthly aid of $120,025.50. The lads are required to keep $5 of each month's pay in camp, with 95 per cent sending the maximum of $25 home. Because of extreme weather conditions in many other states, there are 90 out-of-state CCC camps located in California for the winter months. Rotarians to Hear Own Members Talk On Thankfulness From their own members the Rotarians next Monday at their regular luncheon meeting will learn why they should be thankful, in preparation for Thanksgiving. Dr. R. M. Waltz, program chairman, announces that the thankful subjects have been allotted to the following: S. C. Hartranft, on the nation and state; Dr. H. A. Johnston, on physical health; Melbourne A. Gauer, on mental development; and Rev. T. H. Walker on spiritual gratefulness. Seeks Termination of Joint Tenancy Adele Kellenberger on Tuesday filed a petition in superior court asking termination of joint tenancy in three parcels of property by Henrietta Spoerl, who, according to the petition, died on November 7. Chance remark of Dr. John P. Brastad that he had 5,000 out-door orchids to a representative of Western Florist magazine Tuesday brought the owner of one of the largest nurseries in Southern California to Anaheim inquiring if it were true. The nursery representative was back Wednesday with a crew of men to prepare some of the orchids for sale, following purchase of the plants from the local orchid grower, who until then had never thus capitalized on his hobby. For many years the local professional man has developed his culture of orchids, learning the secret of seed germination by experimentations which finally led to a study of biochemistry. Germination of orchid seed is the key to the plant's culture, and is regarded as a great secret by specialists who spend a life-time of apprenticeship to learn it. But to prove his success in germination of orchid seed, Dr. Brastad is holding his "annual orchid show" in the window of his office at 105 East enter street. All eight plants in this collection were grown from seeds germinated by him eight years ago. The plants are about half grown, and this is their first season of flowering. He has many plants which he has secured from foreign countries and from various orchid specialists of this country, and has obtained seeds from them which he has secured hundreds of additional plants. Police Orchestra To Play at Dance Members of the Orange County Peace Officers' association announced this week that the Los Angeles police department orchestra of 15 pieces will play at the peace officers' dance to be given in the Rendezvous ball room, Balboa, on the evening of November 29. Simultaneously, the Auto Club circularized Orange county with its program of meeting the demands of the League of Municipalities, yet maintaining what the club thinks should be the proper set-up, especially that part which would preserve the state highway's proportion of the gasoline tax. The League of Municipalities doesn't specify where it shall get its money, so long as it gets the gas tax money which amounts to a virtual three-fourths of a cent out of the three-cent tax. The league seeks what it believes is the correct portion for cities. The club, on the other hand, suggests the money be taken from the counties' share, and relieve the counties of maintenance duties on rural roads by turning those repairs over to the state highway department. Under this plan, Anaheim would get proximately the same returns, and Fullerton, $18,634; Huntington Beach, $6,330; Laguna Beach, $3,403; La Habra, $3,907; Newport Beach, $3,774; Orange, $13,840; Placentia, $2,755; San Clemente, $1,139; Santa Ana, $52,034; Seal Beach, $1,987; and Tustin, $1,589. The league's plan would give approximately the same returns, and under both schemes, the money must be spent for roadways within the city limits. At present, the one-fourth of a cent appropriation to cities must be spent on state highways going through the cities. The league asks the state to take over the state highway maintenance and give the cities one-half a cent for maintenance and improvement of other roadways. Attorney Louis Burke of the League of Municipalities was to discuss his organization's legislative proposals at the meeting of the Orange County League of Municipalities at La Habra Thursday evening. RESIDENCE RANSACKED Burglaries entered the T. I. Winters residence at Broadway and Magnolia Saturday afternoon and ransacked the place, but took nothing, police report. COLONISTS SEEK C. I. F. LAURELS THIS SATURDAY Smart Local Squad Wins Orange County Championship by Beating Tustin 6-0 When smart little Acting Captain Ochoa leaped high in the ozone to unear one of Tustin's last-minute pass attempts to win an otherwise scoreless tie just before the whistle in the fourth quarter last Friday, he romped to the winning touchdown, bringing the Orange League championship to the Anaheim Colonists, and assured them a game this Saturday afternoon in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena against Coach Newt Stark's Muir Tech team in one of a series of C. I. F. championship playoffs. As a result of the sixth straight league victory, this time by the score of 6 to 0, Coach Dick Glover had his boys out early Monday afternoon putting them through their paces at blocking especially, and drilled them hard on new pass combinations in an effort to match beef and line-play of Muir Tech's heavier squad with speed and wide open attacks. Man for man, the Anaheim lads will be about 16 pounds lighter than Coach Stark's group which uses the Howard Jones Municipalities and Auto Club for Advantage In Gas Tax Changes Returns From First Directors Meeting of League Ground Work for Legislative Proposal to Raise Income From Gasoline Tax; Club With Plan Ned their eyes with interest this week as Mayor Charles H. the Orange County League of Municipalities, focused attention a plan of the league to obtain a greater share of the city cities, and the Auto Club of Southern California offered to virtually give the cities what they are seeking by taking roads out of the city boards of super- them over to the give the cities ap- nee amount of reven- cent gasoline tax. course, lies in who's share of the in- cerned Monday from board meeting of the Municipalities held the week-end where laid for presenting activities of the league.

The St. Catherine’s Holding Aquatic Tests This Week Company B Wins Competition Honors In Drills Held Here Last Sunday Following the successful drill held Sunday, cadets at the St. Catherine’s Military academy this week concentrated on company try-outs to select the two foremost swimmers in each of the four companies for the purpose of entering them in the water carnival to be held in connection with the next drill on December 16. The two boys picked from each company as best swimmers will receive special instruction for the next three weeks, at the end of which they will compete for certain events to be staged in the water festival. Expert local swimmers will be present to dive through hoops of fire and several other spectacular features. Cadet Captain Robert Jones’ B company marched to victory in the company competition Sunday as an enthusiastic audience of friends, parents and distinguished guests watched the first monthly drill of the current year. Another winning hearty praise and special mention was A company. Reviewing officer was Colonel H. S. Miller, U. S. A. retired, former commandant at Fort MacArthur. His aide was Captain As a result of the sixth straight league victory, this time by the score of 6 to 0, Coach Dick Glover had his boys out early Monday afternoon putting them through their paces at blocking especially, and drilled them hard on new pass combinations in an effort to match beef and line-play of Muir Tech’s heavier squad with speed and wide open attacks. Man for man, the Anaheim lads will be about 16 pounds lighter than Coach Stark’s squad, which uses the Howard Jones bone-crushing off-tackle smashes successfully enough to win the Foothill League championship. This weight advantage was about the same as Coach Bill Cole threw at the Colonists in the Tustin game, when the squads fought on fairly even terms throughout the first 50 minutes of play. Coach Cole also uses the Howard Jones system, but found the center of the Anaheim line strong enough to withstand his dangerous thrusts. Tackles Roquet and Leo, Guards Uyeshima and Mosiman, and Center Minder this week received detailed instruction on filling up great big holes when on defense, and opening them on offense. Although somewhat small, Ends Beat and Grimm yielded little ground to Tustin. They are expected to hold up as well against Muir Tech’ in the Colonists’ first serious test for the southern California championship. Quarterback Ochoa, 'Left Half Fee, Right Half Villasenor and Fullback Dougan form a quartet which Muir Tech will find difficulty in stopping, providing the Anaheim line displays its usual bulldog fight. Although somewhat light, these lads piled up nine first downs to three for Tustin, gained 133 yards net from running plays and and 32 on two completed passes to 13 yards on running plays and 56 from five completed passes for Tustin. Anaheim lost 25 yards on three penalties, Tustin none. To seasoned observers, the Anaheim victory came as a result of excellent team-work, the same quality that has marked the Colonists’ play since the opening of the season. There were no particular stars, though Ochoa, Minder, and Mosiman turned in about their best performances of the year. “Truck” Uyeshima and Gene Moris did stellar work at running guard. The game Saturday will start promptly at 2 p.m. Students must get their 25-cent tickets at the high school, while the public can get 50-cent tickets at the Rose Bowl. Officials will be "Pinky" Greene of Santa Ana, referee; McAllister of Monrovia, umpire; "School Days, Dear Old Golden Rule Days" Come to Halt at Thanksgiving, Christmas Approximately 1600 elementary school children and half that many high school students focused their attention on the calendar this week and speculated on how long it would seem till next Thursday, when they get a two-day respite from their studies, and to the Christmas holidays which will witness a shorter vacation because of reconstruction problems at the Anaheim union high school. Students in both the elementary and high schools will get Thursday and Friday off next week. But, because of school days missed early in the year when rains and building removals delayed classes, the high school will not recess for Christmas vacation till after Friday, December 21—four days before all will be quiet through the house, and not a thing will be stirring. Principal J. A. Clayes announces that classes will be resumed January 2, 1935. Superintendent Melbourne A. Gauer states that because of the changes in the high school's holiday plans, the elementary school will not dismiss on December 14, as originally planned for conformity with the county-wide schedule, but would continue till December 19. Letting school out on Wednesday gives the teachers an opportunity to attend the C. T. A. meetings to be held in Los Angeles.
