Council Asks State to Allot $13,000 for Resurfacing of South Los Angeles Street Members of the city council Tuesday evening voted to make formal application to the state highway department to allot the $13,000 due Anaheim under the one-fourth of a cent of the gasoline taxes for resurfacing of the South Los Angeles street from Santa Ana to Vernon avenue. The funds are due under the 1933-35 blennium, which ends July 1st, 1935, and must be spent on state highways through the municipality. A portion of this amount was due to be spent on resurfacing of North Los Angeles street but due to a technicality were held out. The city councilmen now are asking that all the money due be spent on completing the resurfacing of Los Angeles street, on No. 101 highway, through this city. Councilmen report that South Los Angeles street must be resurfaced soon or damages to the pavement will become excessive and cost of replacement will be considerably greater at a later date. The councilmen also point out that there is considerable demand now for work to take up the slack in unemployment during the winter season, and resurfacing of the main artery at this time would provide needed jobs. REPORTS AUTO SERVICE Anaheim police this week report from Mrs. Helen L. North Main street, Santa Ana automobile was stolen Clementine and Center strung the hours of 5:30 and 8:30 AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1934 SHAREHOLDERS OF CLOSED BANK DELAY DIVIDEND Receiver Hogan of Anaheim First National Bank Clears Up Issue Just as soon as the claim of stockholders of the Anaheim First National bank, who seek special consideration in the matter of shareholders' liability, is disposed of, Receiver J. V. Hogan will make recommendations to Washington to declare a payment to depositors. Receiver Hogan announced this week that the forms asking for payment are ready and he had contemplated getting approval for such payment through in time to get money into depositors' hands before the holidays. But, because of demands for special consideration of shareholders, this plan now seemed almost impossible of fulfillment. The receiver and his attorney have analyzed the claims of the sharehouders and state that the conclusion is these claims are unjustified, with this recommendation now before the controller at Washington. The shareholders ask this consideration on the grounds that they advanced money before the bank was closed in an effort to keep it in a solvent condition. Since their liability is 100 per cent of the value of their stock Senior Class to Give 3-Act Play 2 Days Next Week Different Casts for the Two Presentations Announced by Play Director Two complete casts of girls and a change in the roles for boys will feature the Tuesday and Wednesday night performances next week of the annual high school senior class play to be given at the Anaheim theater at 8 p.m., Mrs. Maye Kern Schultz, director of dramas, announces. "We have a great deal of talent among the girls in the senior class," Mrs. Schulz states, "and for that reason we are giving as many of them a chance to get experience as possible. The play, 'The Nut Farm,' provides an ideal situation for this substitution of players in different nights." Senior students this week were selling tickets for the performances. These tickets may be exchanged for reserve seats Saturday morning at the Anaheim theater, at a small additional cost. Hollywood is the setting for the three-act play, and a movie-struck family chief interest. Dorothy Suiter and Barbara Phillips play the part of the married daughter, who is "movie truck" and wants to become a movie queen, finally persuading her husband to invest this $30,000 in a production starring her, instead of buying a nut farm as he intends. Willie, brother of Helen, wants to be a director—curious shareholders, this plan now seemed almost impossible of fulfillment. The receiver and his attorney have analyzed the claims of the shareholders and state that the conclusion is these claims are unjustified, with this recommendation now before the controller at Washington. The shareholders ask this consideration on the grounds that they advanced money before the bank was closed in an effort to keep it in a solvent condition. Since their liability is 100 per cent of the value of their stock in the defunct bank, the shareholders ask that money they put up before the bank was closed be applied upon their payments under the liability clause. Mr. Hogan said that had this claim for special consideration not been advanced by shareholders, the depositors would have received a payment before Christmas. Delay until after Christmas now appears more than probable, although he does not believe the claims of shareholders will win approval from Washington. The bank was closed during the bank holidays in March, 1933, and operated under a conservator for a year afterward, at which time the bank was definitely closed partially upon the grounds that there were sufficient banking facilities in this city. The bank had 1800 depositors, and at one time carried deposits of well over a million dollars. Burglars Take Old Gold Sunday Night E. Kliot, proprietor of a West Center street store which buys old gold trinkets, this week put his faith in fingerprints and the police department to regain approximately $350 of the metal stolen from the display window of his shop sometime Sunday night. The burglars broke the plate glass window, reached in and pulled the paper on which the old gold articles were displayed. They then made away with the valuables, leaving only fingerprints which R. R. Lutes of the sheriff's fingerprint detail was successful in obtaining. Kliot could make no immediately detailed report to the police on the articles taken, but started a recheck of articles bought and expected to turn the list over some time this week. Urges Young People To Attend Meetings Repercussions of Election Heard As Recount Demanded Sam Snodgrass Petitions for Count Before Court In Constable Ballot Repersussions of the November 6 election continued to be heard this week following filling by Sam L. Snodgrass late last week of a petition for a recount of votes cast for constable of Anaheim township. Snodgrass, who was declared defeated by the narrow margin of two votes when the board of supervisors completed canvass on November 15, charges that to the best of his belief and information he received more votes than did the successful candidate, Constable E. D. Marion. The supervisors, after revising totals from one precinct on account of a mistake when votes were read off in transcript, found that Marion received 3774 and Snodgrass 3772 votes. The petition claims that boards in various of the 46 precincts in the township advertently tallied votes for Marion which should have been credited to Snodgrass, and asks for a recount before the court at which time the petitioner believes he will be returned the victor in the election. In this case, he asks that the certificate of election granted Marion and by which he last week was sworn into office for another term of four years, be withdrawn and reissued in favor of Snodgrass. Seeks Probate In Hollywood is the setting for the three-act play, and a movie-struck family chief interest. Dorothy Suiter and Barbara Phillips play the part of the married daughter, who is "movie truck" and wants to become a movie queen, finally persuading her husband to invest this $30,000 in a production starring her, instead of buying a nut farm as he intends. Willie, brother of Helen, wants to be a director—courous enough, saving the family fortune. Willard Bath plays this part the first night, Willard Jaggers the part of Helen's husband. Thelma Hamlin and Katherine McCullah play the part of mother of Helen and Willie. Donald Doepke takes the part of film producer, and his staff includes Charles Peters as Mr. Biddendord, a scenario writer. Park Henderson and Cliff Deason play the part of reading man in the movie play, and Harold McNurlin and Geraldine Yoder are neighbors. Local Directors of Chamber Will Dine Directors of the Anaheim chamber of commerce this week made arrangements to attend the Monday night session of the Western States chambers of commerce to be held from Sunday through Tuesday at the Blittmore hotel, Los Angeles. National President Henry Harriman will be speaker, and National Vice President Paul Shoup will be master of ceremonies.

Goble of 3615 North Main street, Santa Ana, that her automobile was stolen Sunday from Elementine and Center streets between the hours of 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. THANKFUL SPIRIT REIGNS HERE AS TURKEY ENJOYED Union Church Services Held at Presbyterian Hall On Thursday Morning Anaheim, full of turkey and all its fixin's, leaned back in the easy chair Thursday evening and meditated upon both its outward and inward manifestations of Thanksgiving. Ministers of this city last Sunday took up the theme of the traditional American holiday, evolving from a fall day in the 17th century when Pilgrims kneeled in solemn prayer in a spirit of gratefulness for the blessings bestowed upon them. Most churches observed their regular Thanksgiving sermons Sunday, and most churches observed traditional Thanksgiving services Wednesday night, among them being the White Temple M. E., and the St. Michael's Episcopal, where the rector, Rev. D. Howard Dow, spoke on "Half and Bird," and on Thursday morning led holy communion services at 10 o'clock. Union Thanksgiving services, held under the auspices of the Ministerial Union association of this city, were held at the Presbyterian church from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday, with Rev. W. I. Gough of the Nazarene church giv- NASHVILLE, Tenn. . . In his swing through the South to personally inspect the government's huge Tennessee Valley development projects and a stop at Harrodsburg, Ky., President Franklin D. Roosevelt paused here to visit "The Hermitage" state owned shrine of the Old South, the home of Andrew Jackson, built in 1823. Photo shows the lovely old mansion where lived the former President Andrew Jackson. Insert is of President Roosevelt who has followed in the steps of other Presidents in visiting the shrine. The President, enroute to Warm Springs, made stops in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. Gets Safe, Checks and Papers Back, But Not $200 Cash Youths Find Strong Box Taken From Placentia Business on November 20 John's Smoke House of Placentia got a rusty safe back, obtained possession of 16 pink slips for automobiles, a check for $12.50 and another for $115.50, miscellaneous books and papers and other valuable contents, but is out $300 in cash, a cigar box full of pennies and a five-dollar gold piece as a result of a discovery made by Maurice Coach and Norman Hoiland, Placentia schoolboys on Sunday. The safe and contents were stolen on November 20, evidently when one of the burglars entered a rest room after the store had been closed. He then presumably climbed down from his lofty perch, let in an accomplice and the two of them took the safe. The strong box was found protruding from the Anaheim Union Water company's reservoir at Yorba Linda. The youths notified Deputy Ezra Stanley, who called Deputies Herman Zabel and Robert Steinberger. The latter two investigated, finding the automobile pink slips, checks and other articles scattered around the water's edge. Police Chief Gus Barnes of Placentia, and the proprietor of John's Smoke House, John Kelloff, dragged the safe from the water. Moisture and rust prevented obtaining of fingerprints. Union Thanksgiving services, held under the auspices of the Ministeral Union association of this city, were held at the Presbyterian church from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday, with Rev. W. I. Gough of the Nazarene church giving the sermon. The Presbyterian Young People's choir, under the direction of Mrs. Walter J. Ross, and the Girl Reserves' Double Quartet, directed by Mrs. Winifred Sloop, favored with appropriate musical numbers. Rev. Thomas H. Walker was in charge of the program, calling upon various members of the Ministerial Union to read the president's proclamation on Thanksgiving, and other special features. As customary, the Salvation Army Fed a small army of transients at the hall. Lemon at Chestnut, where every effort was made to bring spiritual and physical comfort to the homeless. Most Anaheim business establishments were closed, and business folk spent the day with their families. Some interest was shown in a football game, and some in other sports; while the usual holiday trek to pine shores was taken by customary numbers. Both high school and elementary schools were dismissed for a vacation stretching from Wednesday afternoon till Monday morning, giving teachers an opportunity to join their relatives and families for the holiday. Rotarians Learn All About Thankfulness Rotarians know a lot about thankfulness this week. They heard four of their members, S. C. Hartranft on "thankfulness" as a general theme; Dr. H. A. Johnston on being thankful for physical health; Melbourne A. Gauer on mental attitudes of thankfulness; and Rev. Thomas H. Walker on the spiritual side of the same subject, at the regular luncheon meeting Monday noon. Thomas L. McFadden and Dr. D. Cowles reviewed Rotarian Louis Danz' new book. Dr. Ralph M. Waltz, chairman, introduced Lyman Harpster who sang, accompanied by Mrs. Harpster at the piano. Anaheimers Boost For Big Banquet To Honor Pennant-winning Colonist Team Anaheimers who rooted like Trojans for their football team Saturday when the Colonists came back home in the short end of a 12-0 game with Muir Tech of Pasadena, this week were just as loud as ever in praise of their team and more vociferous than before in demanding a banquet to pay deserved honors to the lads who won the second Orange league championship in three years and their coach who welded them into a smooth-working team. There were many suggestions Wednesday for a banquet, but nothing announced officially at press time to celebrate the achievements of our gridiron warriors, who went through six league games and won them all. Only twice has Coach Dick Glover's lads been on the short end. Once in an early season practice game with Covina they nearly tied, lost 7-6. Last Saturday against a team 16 pounds heavier to the man, the Colonists piled up huge yardage, worked passes beautifully, did more things more skillfully than their opponents, made two bobbles and lost by two touchdowns as a result of those errors. Throughout the first half Anaheim's small squad held the big, fast and powerful Newt Starke's team even-Stephen, neither team scoring. Hundreds of Anaheim fans settled down in their seats to watch what promised to be a thriller, possibly a scoreless tie. Soon after the half, Fee was slapped on the back by his teammates who pretended they hated to see the little left halback leave the game. He trotted toward the sidelines, and the Muir Tech boys gave him no other though. The ball came back to Quarterback Ochoa. Everything seemed to be working beautifully, except that Ochoa was a little rushed and in his anxiety to get the ball off to the speeding Fee who raced down the sidelines let it bobble slightly, falling far short of the intended receiver. Muir Tech's Fullback Cunningham who erored in letting Fee get behind him, grabbed the wobbly ball to his bosom and romped over the Anaheim goal line for the first touchdown of the day. Muir Tech's Quarterback Sangster took Roquet's punt on the former's 15-yard line, stuck to his quickly formed interference like Americans to apple pie, and dashed 85 yards to a touchdown. That ended the scoring. The Colonists had a big edge in yardage gained, particularly from passes. They threatened to score in the first quarter, but lacked the break to put them in pay territory against a team unusually strong defensively. The game was the first in a series of C.I.F. playoffs to determine the Southern California championship.
